Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

Chapter 100 Looks familiar

The man was speechless. What kind of person was this? The knife in his hand had cut the other man's skin, yet he wasn't afraid at all.

"If you don't act now, it will be too late," Zhao Chuan suddenly said.

"What's too late?"

"Hey, how can someone like you be a spy?" Zhao Chuan said with some disappointment. He looked up at the other person. "Let me guess, whose man are you? The Prince of Hui? You're nervous. So you really are the Prince of Hui. Do you know who I am?"

Seeing the man remain silent, Zhao Chuan suddenly laughed, "I am a scholar, so killing Granny Chen is no big deal for me, but killing me is a different story. It will implicate your master, and he will probably investigate it very quickly."

The status of a Juren (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) was different; they were entitled to a salary. Once a Juren died, the county magistrate would have to provide an explanation.

While the man was in a daze, someone had already entered the courtyard, and he asked Zhao Chuan to lead him away.

“There’s a cellar in the house. Take me there to hide. They shouldn’t be able to find us,” Zhao Chuan said, leading the man through a small door to the side yard. He pushed open a cabinet and saw the cellar door. “Go in. If I’m not there, they’ll definitely get suspicious.”

"No. What if you betray me?"

“Then you have no choice but to take a gamble. Otherwise, who will push the cabinet? If the cellar is exposed, you'll die anyway. You might as well take the gamble and see if I'm willing to help you. You know that the whole city is looking for you. Once you're caught and taken to the town government office, you'll suffer a fate worse than death,” Zhao Chuan said.

The man thought for a moment, then bowed to Zhao Chuan, "I have offended you greatly. If you are willing to help, young master, you will surely have a bright future!" He was determined to return alive, as he had very important matters to report.

Zhao Chuan watched with a smile as the man went into the cellar, pushed the cabinet shut, and the moment he stepped out of the side bedroom, he betrayed the man, "Gentlemen, I know where the person you're looking for is. He just forced me to help him. Look at my neck, I almost died. Come with me quickly, I've tricked him into the cellar."

When the man was brought out by the soldiers, he glared at Zhao Chuan and roared, "You untrustworthy scoundrel, you'll get your comeuppance!"

"Did I agree to that?" Zhao Chuan shook his head. This guy was really stupid.

He followed the soldiers to the government office, and after an overnight interrogation, he didn't leave until dawn.

After eating a bowl of wontons by the roadside, Zhao Chuan went to Ye Wanning's house by himself. When Yunzhi saw him, she immediately tried to close the door.

"Young Master Zhao, aren't you worried about things getting chaotic enough?" Yunzhi was furious at the sight of Zhao Chuan. "If it weren't for you, would our family have gotten into trouble with Granny Chen?"

“Miss Yunzhi, please don’t be angry. The person who killed Granny Chen has been caught. I’m here to put your wife’s mind at ease. Also, I have indeed affected your reputation. Since that’s the case, I’m willing to take responsibility.” Zhao Chuan smiled and handed over the pastries he had bought. “This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it on my behalf, Miss Yunzhi.”

When facing Zhao Chuan, Yunzhi had to be patient and patient. "Young Master Zhao, my lady doesn't need your snacks." Her master was right; they still had to move and couldn't stay any longer.

"This is hard to buy, so please put in a good word for me," Zhao Chuan insisted. "I'm sincere. I'm an orphan, and I make my own decisions about my marriage. If your wife marries me, no one will be allowed to mistreat her. Isn't that a wonderful thing?"

Otherwise, a widow who remarries will always be criticized.

Yunzhi grew impatient with the pestering and said directly, "If you say another word, we'll report you to the government office!"

With that, she slammed the door shut.

Just as the door was closing, the two constables from the town government happened to pass by, and one of them thought Yunzhi looked somewhat familiar.
