This son-in-law is wicked in a good way!

Evening, the night watchman's office.

The prison.

"Dinner's ready!"

A young jailer came in carrying a bucket and, through the bars, served food to the prisoners in their cells one by one.

Just then, a young man came up from behind and said, "Brother Zhang, you take a break, let me do it this time!"

Brother Zhang smiled and pointed at the young man: "You know how to handle people, kid. I'll leave it to you."

Serving meals to these prisoners is a tedious and boring task, and almost no one wants to do it.

Brother Zhang was happy to be able to take a break for a while.

Watching Brother Zhang leave, a sinister smile flashed in the young man's eyes as he headed straight for the last few cells.

He took out a small jade bottle from his pocket, and when no one was looking, poured the Heartbreak Powder into the rice bucket, then served it to several White Lotus followers.

The White Lotus followers, unsuspecting, stepped forward, picked up their bowls, and began to eat.

In less than a minute, all of them were foaming at the mouth and convulsing as they collapsed to the ground.

The young man smiled smugly, dumped the remaining food on the ground, and left with the bucket.

After that, he would leave the Night's Watch for good.

Once the assassins are deployed, they will not be allowed to remain in their original positions.

"It's all served already?"

The young man had just stepped out of the damp corridor of the prison cell when Brother Zhang suddenly blocked his way with a smile.

Behind them were several Night Watch Iron Guards, including Zhou Weidong and Wang Qisheng.

The young man's face darkened, but he forced a smile: "Brother Zhang, it's all served. Don't believe me? Look!"

He placed the empty bucket in front of him and said, "I suddenly have a stomachache and need to relieve myself, ouch..."

He clutched his stomach and ran outside.

boom!

Wang Qisheng kicked him to the ground and shouted, "Take him down!"

The constables behind him immediately drew their broadswords and held them to his neck.

The young man finally realized that he had been tricked.

"Heh, so what if you catch them? Those White Lotus sect members are already dead."

Wang Qisheng smiled knowingly: "Do you really think we're unprepared?"

"To tell you the truth, those you poisoned were all death row inmates about to be beheaded. The real White Lotus followers have already been moved away."

The young man's face changed drastically: "What did you say?!"

"Speak, who sent you?" Wang Qisheng said coldly.

The young man tilted his head back and laughed: "You'll never find out."

After saying this, he swallowed the poison he had been hiding in his mouth.

"Oh no, he's taken poison. He's a suicide bomber!" Brother Zhang said nervously.

Wang Qisheng stepped forward, placed his fingers on the young man's neck, and turned to look at Zhou Weidong: "It's over, he's really dead!"

"Damn it, these people have really stretched their reach! The Night's Watch, a prestigious organization, has actually been infiltrated by their assassins!"

Old Wang was furious, and the other night watchmen also felt humiliated.

"Let's go, tell Ping An the news, and see what to do next."

When a person dies, the trail goes cold again.

Inside the cell, Zhang Ping'an was playing Gomoku with Zhao Qianshan.

"Boss, I won this round again."

I can't beat Go, but I've never lost at Gomoku.

Zhao Qianshan roared, "This round doesn't count, let's play again!"

"How could I, a mere child, lose a game of chess to you!"

At this moment, Wang Qisheng and Zhou Weidong walked in.

"Boss, just as Ping An predicted, someone infiltrated and poisoned those imposters who were posing as White Lotus Cult members."

Wang Qisheng reported the situation to Zhao Qianshan.

"What! A assassin has infiltrated the Night's Watch!" Zhao Qianshan reacted strongly, extremely angry.

What is the Night's Watch for? To oversee all officials; they are a sword in His Majesty's hand.

Now, someone else's assassins have infiltrated the area.

I can't afford to lose face like that!

"Don't let this get out of reach of anyone, understand?" Zhao Qianshan sternly instructed.

"Got it, boss. Don't worry, we won't spread this kind of thing even if you don't tell us."

Zhao Qianshan looked at Zhang Ping'an: "That assassin committed suicide by poison, what's the next step?"

Zhang Ping'an frowned and said, "Make it public that tomorrow the Night Watchmen will join forces with the Ministry of Justice to conduct a joint trial of Sun Xing's case at the Dali Temple."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Qianshan opposite him: "Boss, I'll have to trouble you to send someone to inform the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review."

Zhao Qianshan frowned in thought: "You want to lure the snake out of its hole?"

"But what if the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review don't cooperate?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, they will definitely agree."

"If all else fails, then we'll invoke His Majesty's authority to pressure them."

"it is good."

"Zhou Weidong, go and notify the Ministry of Justice immediately."

"Wang Qisheng, go and inform the Dali Temple."

"Yes, sir!"

The two turned and left.

"Ping An, the bait has been cast. Let's see if this big fish will take the bait." Zhao Qianshan smiled at him.

"Don't worry, sir, I bet this fish will take the bait."

"But sir, could you please not touch my chess pieces?"

The Sun residence.

Sun Guihua received a report from his scout.

The operation failed, and the assassins were carried out of the dungeon by the Night's Watch.

Soon, another message came from the Ministry of Justice.

The Night Watchmen will join forces with the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review tomorrow to jointly try Sun Xing's case.

Sun Guihua's face instantly turned extremely grim.

"It seems that one of those White Lotus sect members really did betray me."

"Hmph, a bunch of useless good-for-nothings!"

Zhang Ping'an's move left Sun Guihua with no more doubts.

After all, the Night's Watch would never have requested a joint trial by the three judicial authorities unless they had found conclusive evidence.

Tomorrow will be the last chance.

"Butler, quickly go and fetch Mr. Yao!"

This time, Sun Guihua decided to reveal his true trump card.

That night, Zhang Ping'an rested in the yamen (government office).

The next day, he asked Zhao Qianshan for leave and returned to the Prime Minister's residence to attend the Left Prime Minister's birthday banquet.

Meanwhile, the Night Watchmen prepared to escort Sun Xing and the White Lotus sect members to the Dali Temple for trial.

The Left Prime Minister's Residence.

As the head of the civil officials, Lu Chongyang held an extremely high status, and the guests invited to his birthday banquet were also prominent figures.

Of course, some officials who were not invited also arrived at the Prime Minister's residence early in the morning, presented their congratulatory gifts, and left.

Early this morning, the Lu residence was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, creating a lively scene.

After taking leave, Zhang Ping'an made a detour to Lao Bi Zhai on his way back to the Prime Minister's residence.

The shopkeeper was happier to see Zhang Ping'an than to see his own father.

"My lord, I have good news to report to you."

Zhang Ping'an was delighted: "How many copies have you sold?"

The good news the shopkeeper mentioned must be that the storybooks will sell very well!

"The fifty copies that were just printed yesterday were all bought by a young nobleman. I urged the printing company to produce another hundred copies today."

"That's amazing!" Zhang Ping'an knew that the sales of the novel "Zhu Xian" in this world would definitely be good, but it would still take some time to develop. After all, even the best wine needs advertising.

I never imagined that the rich in this world would be so extravagant, buying fifty copies all by themselves.

"Good, good, that puts my mind at ease." Zhang Ping'an didn't need to look anymore and turned to go to the Left Prime Minister's residence.

We returned to the Left Prime Minister's residence around 10 a.m.

There were more than a dozen seats in the courtyard, and the place was full of guests, the lowest of whom were all of the third rank.

Zhang Ping'an also saw Zhang Xuanling, Sun Guihua, Guan Tianyou, and others among them.
