The leader of the Tartan soldiers raised his head to look at the merchants. How could those merchants dare to offend Ji Shuisheng, who was holding a waist token? They all shook their heads in a self-preservation manner.

“None of us saw it.”

Hearing these people say that they didn’t know, the businessman who wanted to extort money anxiously shouted at them,

“How can you do this to me? If 1 extort something, you guys will share it with me, but if something happens, I’ll have to bear the responsibility alone?” “What’s wrong? You’re the one who wanted to extort people. What does it have to do with us?”

When the merchants saw that he would bite them, they shouted in unison, which served as evidence for Ji Shuisheng.

The leader understood. This kid wanted to swallow the goods. To please Ji Shuisheng, he slashed the back of the merchant’s shoulder, scaring the kid so much that he sat on the ground.

“Return the things.”

The leader pointed the tip of the knife at the merchant’s eyes and ordered sternly.

The merchant cried bitterly. He did not dare to say anything. Today, he finally understood that he would have to pay with his life if he did not pay three carts of leather.

He didn’t have much leather, so he had to borrow it from those people. At least he had gathered enough. It hurt so much that his heart was trembling.

With a long face, he brought the three carriages of leather to Ji Shuisheng and wanted to remove the leather, but Ji Shuisheng detained the three carriages.

It wasn’t that Ji Shuisheng was greedy but that the merchant had terrible intentions. Then I don’t think you should blame me for giving him a taste of his own medicine.

The greedy merchant who had reneged on his debt felt his heart bleeding. With three carts of leather and three carriages, he had lost all the money he had earned in two years in one day.

“Thank you for helping me seek justice.”

Ji Shuisheng cupped his hands and thanked the leader. The leader smiled obsequiously.

“Of course. Do you have any other instructions?”

“No, thank you for your hard work. I have a few taels of silver to treat you to tea.”

Ji Shuisheng returned the greeting with a smile. He took out five taels of silver from his sleeve pocket and handed it over. The leader dared not accept it and quickly waved his hand to refuse.

“You’re welcome. My name is Ye Hejiang.”

He did not dare to directly ask Ji Shuisheng to put in a good word for him in front of the emperor and Empress. He only dared to say it vaguely. Ji Shuisheng immediately understood and immediately smiled and cupped his fists.

“Alright, if there’s a chance, I’ll put in a good word for you.”

Seeing that the military chief was begging Ji Shuisheng, the merchants felt that Ji Shuisheng had a strong backer. They were glad that they had stopped in time. Otherwise, they would have been as unlucky as All Lang.

After Ji Shuisheng sent the soldiers away, he turned around and saw the bearded merchant smiling at him. That smile was meaningful, with praise, ridicule, and a hint of playfulness.

Ji Shuisheng smiled at him.

“Brother, let’s talk in private.”

“Alright, 1’11 do as you say.”

The merchant raised his left eyebrow and followed Ji Shuisheng with a smile.

The streets were in a mess. The Tartan soldiers were grabbing young women everywhere, and the streets that were bustling just now quickly became sparsely populated.

Seeing no more girls to catch on the streets, these Tartan soldiers searched every house, causing a huge commotion.

There were only five carriages when they came, but when they returned, there were eight. There were also three cows and five fat sheep. Ji Shuisheng threw the five fat sheep onto the carriage and tied them up with ropes.

The scammed merchant sat on the ground, crying like his parents were dead. He beat his chest and stamped his feet.

The other merchants were secretly glad that they had avoided the disaster. To please Ji Shuisheng, they all came over to help load the car. Seeing that Ji Shuisheng was short of rope to tie the sheep, they quickly ran over to offer their rope to Ji Shuisheng.

The three oxen could only follow the carriage slowly. Fortunately, these oxen were very docile and could only follow the carriage obediently.

Perhaps in their hearts, they thought going to the Great Xia Kingdom was good for them. The Great Xia Kingdom stipulated that cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered. They only needed to work in the fields and did not have to worry about being killed for meat.

Ji Shuisheng sat in the first carriage and turned to look at the bearded merchant.

“Brother, please sit in the carriage.”

“I’ll take the last one.”

The bearded merchant refused to sit in the front. He turned around and sat in the last carriage, picking up the whip skillfully.

The merchants in the market stared at him. This person looked unfamiliar. Which tribe was he from? Why had they never seen him before?

The bearded merchant did not care what these people thought. He sat in the carriage leisurely and gently shook the whip. The horse obediently followed the carriage in front.

Their convoy was very eye-catching on the streets. Along the way, they were checked several times by the Tartan soldiers. Every time, Ji Shuisheng would take out that black jade waist token. Without even thinking, they quickly passed and left Tacheng without any obstructions.

Not long after Ji Shuisheng left Tacheng, a team of royal guards rushed to the market to look for him. After asking about it, they learned that Ji Shuisheng had already left, and they chased after him on horseback.

Ji Shuisheng rode his horse as fast as he could when he left Tacheng. The bearded merchant behind him smiled and shouted at him,

“Why are you running so fast?”

A crisp female voice with a teasing smile came from a bearded man’s mouth. It was very out of place.

“What did you do? The Tartan soldiers are chasing you everywhere?”

Ji Shuisheng turned around and smiled at Su Qing. He had worried for nothing. No one could catch Su Qing.

“I offended the princess.”

The whip in Su Qing’s hand swayed in the wind, but she did not lash the horse. She looked relaxed and lazy, and her voice was faint and filled with arrogance.

“Offend the princess?”

Ji Shuisheng thought of Saiya when he heard Su Qing say ‘princess.’ Could it be her?

Su Qing nodded. “L

“She blocked my way, so I pressed her acupuncture points.”

“Ha, is that so?”

Ji Shuisheng chuckled. Su Qing had shown mercy and spared the princess’ life.

Ji Shuisheng turned around and asked Su Qing,

“Where did you go? Why did she interrogate you?”

“I went to the First Prince’s camp to find the person who did it.”

Su Qing didn’t hide anything from him and told Ji Shuisheng the purpose of her visit.

“Found it?”

Ji Shuisheng’s expression turned solemn when he heard that. If that person were not eliminated, it would always be a big problem in his heart.

“Not yet. I was disturbed by the princess.”

Su Qing shook her head. That person had hidden very well. Even without the princess, she would have gained nothing.

“The Eldest Prince is dead. The Empress and the Second Prince will not let go of the person who wanted to kill them with a human demon.”

Ji Shuisheng frowned in thought. Although he had only met the Empress once, that woman was decisive in killing and would not leave any future trouble.

Su Qing didn’t comment.

“That’s possible.”

That person might no longer be in the First Prince’s camp, but he was still in Tartan. However, without the First Prince, whom he needed to pledge loyalty, would he continue to use the Human Demon to attack Mo City?

Su Qing suddenly remembered the Taoist priest in the Empress’ palace and said to Ji Shuisheng, “1

“Right, I found a Taoist priest in the Empress’ Palace. They mentioned the matter of Mo City. 1 wanted to inquire about it but didn’t get any clues.”

Ji Shuisheng’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the word ‘Daoist.’ He asked Su Qing,

“Taoist priest? Could he be the person behind this?”

“Probably not. The Empress is very polite to him.”

Su Qing answered with certainty. The Empress’ vengeful personality would never treat the person who wanted to kill her as a distinguished guest.

“In front, stop.”

As they were talking, the Royal Guards chased after them..
