“What is Zhang Biao? Just a bully,” Su Han scoffed. “Do you really think Zhang Biao can wipe out your entire family? My people from the Royal Confidential Office can easily wash your household in blood. Zhao Hu, eighty thousand taels of silver or the lives of your entire family—think it over.”
Wang Wu sheathed his knife and pulled out a banknote, placing it in front of Zhao Hu. “This is a note from Jingcheng Bank. You can exchange it for silver or gold, whichever you prefer.”
Wash your household in blood.
The phrase echoed repeatedly in Zhao Hu's mind.
Thirty thousand taels of silver were laid out right before him.
It was a temptation.
On one side was the threat of death, and on the other was the chance to survive along with eighty thousand taels of silver to gain.
Any person with a sound mind would know how to choose.
“Does all this belong to me?” Zhao Hu finally made his decision.
A smile appeared on Su Han's face. “It’s all yours.”
“Whatever you want me to do, I will do it,” Zhao Hu gritted his teeth and said. “But you must keep your promise about the benefits.”
“For my Royal Confidential Office, you need not worry,” Su Han replied leisurely. “From now on, you are an outer member of my Royal Confidential Office. As long as you do your job honestly, no one will dare to touch you.”
“Alright, I’ll take care of it right away.”
Zhao Hu stood up, carefully putting away the banknote. “I’ll wait for you over there. Farewell.”
Su Han remained seated, watching as Zhao Hu hurriedly left the tavern.
No sooner had he left than Lin Yu walked in. “Su Han, according to the information provided by Wang Wu, we’ve been keeping an eye on Zhang Yaozu. He’s entered Yi Hong tower and has been with the courtesan Liu Ru Yan for over an hour now, accompanied by four bodyguards.”
“Understood.” Su Han stood up. “Notify everyone to prepare for action.”
“Got it.”
Yi Hong tower was the most famous brothel in Linjiang City.
Zhang Biao’s precious son, Zhang Yaozu, was utterly enchanted by Liu Ru Yan and almost every night spent hours with her until dawn before leaving.
Su Han sat in the carriage, having waited for more than five hours.
“Captain Su, could I get some tea?”
Zhou Meng served the tea.
Su Han, who had never been fond of tea in his past life, felt quite exhausted after running around and keeping watch for so long. After a moment's hesitation, he accepted the cup.
Zhou Meng attentively poured him some tea.
Taking a sip, Su Han found that the tea was not as unpleasant as he had imagined. Just as he was about to take anoth Second Division p, Zhou Meng suddenly whispered, "They’re here!"
A young gentleman, yawning, emerged from the courtyard surrounded by four guards holding torches. It was Zhang Yaozu!
Zhang Yaozu was just about to send someone to fetch his horse when his eyes suddenly lit up. He spotted a woman dressed in light gauze emerging from a nearby alley, her graceful steps drawing closer to him.
Being a lecherous man by nature, Zhang Yaozu's eyes widened in delight…
"Make your move!" Su Han commanded in a low voice.
Zhou Meng and Wang Wu quickly covered their faces with masks and dashed out from behind the carriage.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Just as Su Yao approached Zhang Yaozu, who was entranced by her beauty and only a few steps away, she suddenly drew a short knife from her sleeve. The blade gleamed in the night sky.
Immediately after, two masked figures rushed toward them.
Zhang Yaozu and his guards were so frightened that they hurriedly covered their heads and crouched down on the ground.
As the flashes of blades danced in the air, they abruptly stopped. The guards slowly lifted their heads to see several glinting knives aimed directly at them…
