Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

Su Shaoqing wearily reached out and rubbed Shen Zhaoning's little head.

"It's getting late, let's head back first. I'll bring a few craftsmen over tomorrow to take a closer look."

Su Shaoqing looked at the old man.

"I haven't asked how to address you yet?"

"My surname is Xu, just call me Lao Xu."

Su Shaoqing staggered to his feet and bowed deeply to the old man.

"Please, Uncle Xu, come down the mountain with me and show me the way."

Old Xu hesitated for a moment.

"Will you provide me with food and drink?"

Su Shaoqing was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Yes, yes! Since you work for me, I'll take care of your food, clothing, shelter, and transportation!"

Old Xu picked up Shen Zhaoning and said loudly.

"Let's go, let's go down the mountain. The mountain road is difficult to travel. If we don't go down the mountain soon, we'll have to stay on the mountain."

Old Xu and Xiaoman walked briskly, showing no signs of fatigue, while Su Shaoqing practically crawled down the mountain.

When he reached the foot of the mountain and saw his men dozing off while hugging his horse, he was so envious he almost cried.

At this time in Guanyang, the people found their elderly relatives, and they were all beaming with joy, even happier than during the New Year.

When people saw Su Shaoqing, they all bowed and greeted him.

"Greetings, Lord Su!"

"Greetings, Lord Su!"

At this moment, the inspector's carriage passed by, but no one paid any attention to it; instead, everyone surrounded Su Shaoqing to greet him.

The inspector lifted the curtain and, upon seeing this scene, was so angry he nearly fainted.

He lowered the carriage curtain and said angrily.

"I'm the one distributing the food! It's me!"

"These fools, instead of thanking me, they're fawning over Su Shaoqing!"

Upon returning to his residence, the inspector flew into a rage.

Seeing this, his subordinates offered their advice.

"Why bother arguing with Su Shaoqing, a mere commoner? He's just an ordinary citizen now; it's easy to manipulate him!"

The inspector narrowed his eyes and drawled.

"Oh? Why don't you tell me more about it?"

The subordinate approached the inspector, lowered his voice, and whispered something.

The inspector's smile grew wider and wider.

"Hahaha, great! Let's do it this way!"

After he finished speaking, the inspector suddenly paused.

"But what about General Su..."

"What if I anger him and he brings his troops to kill me?"

His subordinate laughed.

"Is it hard for General Su to say?"

"Although Guanyang is relatively stable now, many people outside Guanyang are starving, and many people are focusing their attention on Guanyang city."

"Just a few days ago, someone reported to the authorities that they had been robbed outside the city. Why don't you just go to General Su and beg him to send troops to quell the rebellion, and then take them down while you're at it!"

The next morning, Shen Zhaoning ran out with great enthusiasm.

As soon as she arrived outside the Su residence, she saw the Inspector's carriage.

The inspector arrived with a large entourage, who stood in a grand procession outside the door, waiting for him.

One of his men was clutching his stomach and complaining that he needed to go to the toilet.

The gatekeeper had no choice but to let him in.

The subordinate's eyes darted around, his back tense.

Shen Zhaoning paused, sensing that something was amiss.

Shen Zhaoning thought for a moment, then decided not to go in. Instead, she secretly hid outside the door and listened to the conversation inside.

The inspector feigned sorrow.

"My abilities are limited; I can only protect Guanyang. I simply cannot take care of the people outside. I can only ask General Su to come out of retirement and take charge of the overall situation."

Su Yuanqiao agreed without hesitation.

"I will immediately send men to set up checkpoints outside the city."

The inspector quickly spoke up.

"General Su, this matter is of utmost importance and must not be taken lightly. Why don't you go and direct the operation yourself?"

Su Yuanqiao thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense, so he readily agreed.

Zhao Chunying sat to the side with a cold face, not saying a word.

After the inspector left.

Zhao Chunying then spoke.

"That piece of shit, he never comes to our door when nothing's wrong, but he only remembers us when he needs something."

Su Yuanqiao's expression was also not very good.

"Who else but me is the commander guarding the northern frontier? It's my duty; who else but me?"

Zhao Chunying snorted coldly.

"If you ask me, you might as well quit being the garrison commander."

"Like my son, I might as well go back home and farm."

Su Yuanqiao remained silent for a moment, his words tinged with grievance.

"I want to too! All the wealth I accumulated in my early years has been squandered by my son. If I resign from my post, how will I support my family?"

"Besides, if I leave, who will pave the way and support Yu-ge and Tuan-tuan!"

As long as he is in office, his two children will have more confidence, and he can also provide them with some assistance in their careers.

He could resign from his post as long as his children grew up and started their own families.

Zhao Chunying, however, felt that this matter was not simple.

"That bastard, he's obviously up to no good. You'd better watch out, be careful in everything you do, and don't fall for his tricks."

Su Yuanqiao nodded repeatedly.

"I know."

"Don't worry, I will make sure he doesn't find anything wrong with me."

Shen Zhaoning originally intended to go up the mountain with her uncle, but after seeing this filthy carriage, she felt uneasy.

She didn't go to Su Shaoqing, but ran to Zhao Chunying and pulled her mysteriously into the house.

Zhao Chunying, puzzled, followed her.

Shen Zhaoning closed the door and lowered her voice.

"Grandmother, I just saw that scoundrel's henchman sneak into the manor, acting suspiciously. I don't know what he's up to."

"Do you think he might be trying to slip something into the mansion?"

Shen Zhaoning grew increasingly frightened as she thought about it, her face turning pale as she spoke with deep concern.

"The Marquis's mansion was raided and its property confiscated, leading to his exile."

"Grandma, I'm so scared."

Zhao Chunying's face also turned pale.

When the inspector came to her door today, she felt something was wrong. She thought the inspector just wanted to find fault with her husband and take the opportunity to make trouble, but she didn't think that he might be doing something underhanded in the house.

"I will have the mansion searched immediately."

Zhao Chunying spoke in a deep voice and hurriedly ordered her servants to search the mansion.

Shen Zhaoning wasn't idle either; she returned to the Shen family home and called people over to help.

The group searched for a long time but couldn't find any clues.

Zhao Chunying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems we were overthinking it."

Hua Zhuyue's expression was very somber.

"It's always better to be careful."

Shen Zhaoning turned her gaze to Xiaoman.

"Brother Xiaoman, ice cream, little cake!"

Xiaoman's eyes lit up.

"Leave it to me."

Xiaoman patted her chest and began searching the house.

Xiaoman was searching when the gatekeeper suddenly ran over.

"Madam, something terrible has happened!"

"The inspector has arrived with a large number of soldiers and constables!"

Zhao Chunying felt a wave of dizziness.

Oops!

The fact that the inspector arrived with his men so quickly must mean he had planned this all along.

This time, Tuan Tuan was probably right; they were after the Marquis's mansion.

This time, disaster is truly imminent.

Shen Zhaoning helped Zhao Chunying up.

"Grandmother, don't panic. You all need to figure out a way to keep that piece of shit occupied."

"My brother, Xiaoman, and I will continue to lead the search."

Hua Zhuyue has experience with this, she said in a deep voice.

"The more critical the moment, the more we must not give up; we have to find a way to hold on."

Hua Zhuyue looked at Shen Zhaoning.

"Tuantuan, we're counting on you this time."
