My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 293 Miss, why did you come back with the guests so quickly?

Ma Tietou thought for a moment and guessed, "It's probably because after that heroine wiped us all out, she encountered some injustice on the way and took care of another one, and then... she packed them all up and sent them over, right?"

"Hmm...maybe." Zhao Dechang nodded. "Never mind him. I've locked him in the innermost cell, far away from you. He hasn't woken up yet. I'll send someone over to check on him when he does."

His tone suddenly shifted, his voice lowered, carrying an undeniable warning:

“Ma Tietou, I’m warning you one more time, watch your hands from now on! Especially after what happened last time! If it weren’t for luck that my sister-in-law stopped it at the last minute, if things had blown up, even if you sent me a lot of things, I might not have been able to protect you, and I would have had to deal with you myself, understand?!”

Ma Tietou trembled violently, nodding frantically, his voice filled with lingering fear and obsequiousness: "I understand! I understand! I understand everything! That time... that time it was all thanks to Brother Zhao for upholding justice that the matter was suppressed! You are our savior, the upright and just magistrate of Anhe City!"

He whispered a few more instructions, basically telling Ma Tietou to behave himself in prison, not to cause him any trouble, and to tell the jailer if he needed anything, and not to cause any trouble.

Ma Tietou continued to bow and scrape, expressing his gratitude profusely.

Zhao Dechang waved his hand impatiently, turned around and left the dark prison.

……

Meanwhile, in Jiang Shi's live stream, the chat had completely transformed into a sea of ​​mixed joy and anger.

[Holy crap?! Did you hear that?! They did something else too!! Collusion between officials and criminals! This is blatant collusion between officials and criminals! And this corrupt official is even helping him cover it up!]

[Brothers in front, don't get excited, this is basic stuff, don't be ridiculous. It's just "Jintian," if you were playing "Fanchen Duan's Tribulation," you'd probably be so angry you'd ascend to heaven on the spot.]

[I'm so angry! I don't even have a girlfriend, and this scumbag Ma Tietou actually has one?! It's outrageous!! Even if justice can forgive him, I can't! That woman isn't any better! She's an accomplice! Birds of a feather flock together, they're a duo, running a husband-and-wife business, and doing this heinous thing!]

[Brother Jiang! Don't wait any longer! Get out of here now and go check the official road in Pingyang City! If you're too late, the trail might go cold!]

Faced with the agitated audience, Jiang Shi calmly typed his response in the live chat.

[Jiang Shi]: What's the rush? It's not like it's going to grow legs and run away by itself. Let me hear if there's any more juicy gossip. If there's still no news by tomorrow or the day after, we'll die and take the brothers to see for ourselves what kind of den of thieves that 'Bonebreaker Branch' really is!
[The streamer must pretend to be a noob, act like it's easy to catch! Don't scare the fish away! Most importantly, don't actually faint! If you faint, the stream will be cut off, and what will we watch?]

[Yeah, yeah, pre-recorded broadcasts are useless! If you're killed before you even wake up, who are we supposed to complain to?! It's not a big deal if the streamer dies, but it's a huge problem if we don't get any entertainment!]

[Jiang Shi]: What are you saying! What are you saying! What kind of talk is that?!
No, Brother Jiang, we're just concerned about you! You're important to us too!

[Keep streaming, I'll send you Starfighters! Keep it up!]

The live stream room was once again filled with a joyful atmosphere.

……

On the other side, Su Ling'er briefly explained Mu Ling and An Qinyao's identities to Wang Xiedi and Li Chunfeng.

“Mr. Mu is the storyteller at the Yuelai Inn. Miss An… we used to go there often to listen to his storytelling, so we know each other. We’ll greet each other when we meet.” She glanced at the main road leading to the Su residence, then at the long wooden box that Mu Ling had brought back, and quickly began to make plans in her mind.

Should I just fly back on my sword with the wooden box? No way!

She immediately rejected the idea in her mind.

Her identity as a "fairy" was already conspicuous enough in Anhe City. If she were to fly around in the sky carrying a wooden box that looked like a coffin, wouldn't the person who stole the body be very likely to be her once the news of the An family's young lady's body being stolen spread?
What's the difference between this and banging drums and gongs in the street, telling everyone, "I stole the corpse!"?

It's not far anyway, so why don't we just use the most basic and least disruptive method to carry it back?
As they began carrying the long wooden box into the mansion, a faint, strange smell began to permeate the air. Li Chunfeng and Wang Xiedi, who were closest, immediately smelled it, and their expressions changed slightly—it was the stench of a corpse.

Lin Qingfeng had already retreated three steps away in disgust, crossed his arms, and shut down his sense of smell.

Are you kidding me? You want him to obediently carry a corpse? To smell the stench of a dead body? Impossible, absolutely not. If it's about getting the corpse to move and going back, then I might as well ask that guy Ji to do it.

The others carried the heavy wooden box, while Su Ling'er led the way and kept watch. The group moved furtively toward the Su residence.

This figure also caught the eye of some passersby, but did not attract much attention.

……

Several people carried the heavy wooden box, while Su Ling'er led the way and kept watch. The group did not take the main road, but instead went around to the secluded side gate of the Su residence.

Just as they reached the door, a gatekeeper on night patrol came out from around the corner carrying a lantern. He was stunned when he saw Su Ling'er and her group, his face full of confusion.

"Miss?" The doorman's eyes darted back and forth between Su Ling'er and the huge wooden box. "You...you and the guests were just about to go out to the night market, weren't you? How come...you're back from the side door so soon..."

A faint, strange smell wafted into his nostrils, causing him to unconsciously frown.

Su Ling'er thought to herself that she was having bad luck. She took out a calming talisman, and with a little spiritual energy from her fingertips, the talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, turning into a refreshing medicinal fragrance that greatly diluted the strange smell.

"I have some private matters to attend to, no need to make a fuss." She whispered to the gatekeeper in an unquestionable tone, "Open the door, just pretend you've never seen us."

Although the gatekeeper was full of doubts, he saw his young mistress's serious expression and was startled. He dared not ask any more questions and quickly bowed in agreement.

The group slipped into the Su residence.

Upon entering the mansion, Su Ling'er looked at the enormous wooden box and was at a loss again. Where should she put it? She couldn't very well carry it to her own boudoir for the autopsy, could she? Would she even be able to live in her own boudoir after that?
