45: Section 45”You have clashed with him again and again, and you even dared to stare him down with that look in your eyes. If he gets angry, even the Apprehension Gate won’t be able to protect you!”

Second Uncle Xu spoke earnestly.

He continued patiently: ”Although we beat you and made you apologize, causing you to lose face, it is still better than losing your life...”

”This...”

How could Xu An not understand this logic?

But he just couldn’t swallow this resentment!

Furthermore.

That guy even took away Aunt and his younger sister!

”Second Uncle, since you know he is such a villain, how could you let Aunt and my sister go to his residence to serve as maidservants?”

Xu An said indignantly.

”If they don’t serve as maidservants, do you want them to enter the Official Entertainment?”

Second Uncle Xu looked helpless.

He naturally knew that his wife and daughter going to the Marquis of Pingyang, Cao Yang’s residence to serve as maidservants was no different than a sheep entering a tiger’s den.

But he had no other choice!

He only hoped that since his daughter was only seventeen and not yet fully grown, Cao Yang might spare her.

As for his wife.

Second Uncle Xu shook his head.

After all, although his wife had some beauty, she was ultimately a married woman.

Cao Yang was only in his twenties, a young man who had already become a Marquis with a prominent status. He likely wouldn’t be interested, so he didn’t worry much...

But he was not worried.

Xu An, however, was worried!

This world did not have the legend of Traitor Cao, but as someone who had undergone Transmigration, how could he not know?

Coincidentally.

That Cao Yang happened to have the surname Cao!

Compared to his sister Xu Qingyue, Aunt Liu Wen, who still retained her charm, was actually more likely to be coveted by him—bah... he meant, he was worried!

Aunt—

Wait for me!

I will definitely rescue you and my sister!

Xu An gritted his teeth and swore silently!

...

The Imperial Palace.

Upon hearing Shangguan Xue’s report.

The Empress was surprised: ”Are you saying that Cao Yang was able to spot clues at a glance that even you could not see?”

”Replying to Your Majesty, that is indeed the case!”

Shangguan Xue bowed.

She stated truthfully: ”If it weren’t for Cao Yang, I fear this tax silver embezzlement case would have truly ended without a result, being blamed on demons...”

”I have underestimated him!”

”I did not expect that besides being ruthless and a cruel official, this Cao Yang actually possessed such intelligence.”

The Empress spoke in a calm tone.

She held Cao Yang in higher regard in her heart once again.

First, previously.

He was able to achieve an Acquired Awakening of the Primordial Yang Sacred Body, demonstrating decent talent in the martial Dao.

Now.

He had once again displayed exceptional intelligence in this tax silver embezzlement case, earning the primary merit.

Perhaps she should consider.

Whether or not to focus on cultivating Cao Yang?

A sycophant official.

And a capable official.

Without a doubt, she naturally preferred the latter!

Of course.

The prerequisite was that both were loyal to her.

There were actually quite a few capable officials in the Great Zhou.

But there were almost none who were loyal to her.

They were only loyal to the country, the common people, and leaving a name in history...

Unlike Cao Yang.

He was only loyal to her, the Emperor.

It was for this reason that she favored Cao Yang so much!

After all, back then.

When she ascended the throne.

It was Cao Yang, who had only recently inherited his title, who was the first to stand up and support her...

Below the palace hall.

Seeing the Empress’s perpetually cold expression change to one of slight surprise because of Cao Yang.

Shangguan Xue felt somewhat unbalanced.

She had become the Empress’s personal Female Official because of her intelligence and literary talent.

Yet, that sycophant Cao Yang.

Was actually more intelligent than her?

Wouldn’t this make her lose her job?

But fortunately.

She was still skilled in literature!

She had not heard of Cao Yang ever composing any poetry or prose!

Hmph!

She would just consider him to have a little bit of cleverness.

After comforting herself in her heart.

Shangguan Xue regained her arrogance...

...

”Xu An!”

On the other side.

The Ministry of Revenue.

A middle-aged man wearing purple robes looked at a file on the desk.

His expression was full of coldness.

He had lost three hundred thousand taels of silver for no reason, along with two loyal henchmen; he could not swallow this resentment!

He dared not offend the Marquis of Pingyang, Cao Yang, or the palace edict writer, Shangguan Xue.

But a mere low-ranking runner from the Apprehension Gate?

That would be as easy as pie!

He snorted coldly.

The purple-robed middle-aged man shattered the file with a single palm strike, leaving no trace behind.

And on that file.

It recorded the key clues to solving this case, which were jointly provided by Cao Yang, Shangguan Xue, and an Apprehension Gate runner, Xu An.

Of course.
