Chapter 388: Sorry

This time was different from that night. The man in black came very slowly. He hesitated for a long time before his window before jumping in.

"Did you succeed?"

"Yes, Supreme Lord."

At this time, the man in black looked at the four people at the table. He approached cautiously. His hand reached toward Yuan Jiaqi, but before he could touch him, he couldn't move.

The man in black tried every method but couldn't move a bit. Qingxing sensed something was wrong and wanted to come over to help, but as soon as she approached the Supreme Lord, she also couldn't move.

Only then did they realize they had fallen into a trap.

The room was bright, and the four people got up and yawned.

"Which friend is this, plotting against us like this?"

The Emperor came to this Supreme Lord and reached out to take off his mask. Seeing the man's appearance, the Emperor understood.

"Foreigner?"

On both sides of the street, there were stalls selling snacks, treats, and all kinds of melons and fruits.

"What about the four great Supreme Lords?"

Qiao Mai raised her hand and slapped him. "Shameless, still daring to threaten us? If you had that ability, would you still need to play these tricks with us?"

Qiao Mai curled her lips. "Wait until I finish dealing with the matter here, I will go and visit your Hall Master and tell him."

Qiao Mai waved her sleeve, and the person who was about to break in screamed and flew out, falling from the second floor to the lobby on the first floor, vomiting a large mouthful of blood before crawling up after a long time.

Qiao Mai waved her hand and slapped the two out of the window.

"Right, the more prosperous the city, the more thieves there are. Some children are good children, but after being abducted, they become members of a theft gang, forced and lured into this path. Let's wait and see; I'm afraid we have offended this gang."

After the restriction was broken, he felt for a moment that he was going to die. Unexpectedly, there was such an expert in this world who not only broke the restriction he set at will but also didn't hurt the person who was restricted. It was truly powerful. It seems the Dark Saint kicked an iron plate.

"This Suzhou is really a good place at the junction of north and south. All kinds of business can exist here, right?"

Qiao Mai reached out and took the jade pendant from his bosom, handed it to the Old Emperor, and pinched the child's neck with one hand.

"Mainly, the garrison commander outside the city suppressed our Prefect, and he was restricted everywhere. It seems, it seems they are colluding with the forces in the city, and our Prefect is very passive. The memorials submitted to the capital were all withheld."

The man looked at her in horror. "It was you who broke my restriction."

The Old Emperor was very proud when he mentioned Heizi. He would pat Heizi's flattery on the carriage when he had nothing to do, which made Heizi's attitude toward him much better.

She broke the restriction without mercy and investigated the entire Dark Saint clearly.

Yuan Jiaqi raised an eyebrow. "Wife, this child might have a poor family background, so he was forced to do this?"

"Bastard thing, actually mixing family affairs with national affairs."

"Hmm, a child stole our things and was caught."

"Sorry, the person just now was a famous local hooligan. I think you must have offended him."

Fortunately, it was drier than the southern air, and the temperature was relatively comfortable.

"That's good, that's good."

It's a pity, but it's useless. Compared to her methods, these people are just drizzle.

"When going out, still be careful. Suzhou City is a mix of fish and dragons. Naturally, since the Eastern Pass opened to foreign trade, it has become a bit chaotic here."

The child climbed up and ran away with his legs open.

"Kill them? How can I find their nest? The world is so big; even with Heizi, it would take a long time to find. I placed the same restriction on them; I know where they appear. Besides, if this one appears, that one will appear. Killing them won't finish them, and it will only cause more trouble. Releasing the tiger back to the mountain is the only way to find their nest."

When the Old Emperor heard this, he realized that one of his items was missing. It turned out to be the jade ornament he often wore.

"No, impossible. Who broke my restriction? Who?"

They strolled on the street, eating and drinking all the way, looking comfortable. Except for Qiao Mai, the other three were vigilantly looking around.

At noon, the four of them heard about a very good restaurant in Suzhou City, went inside, and asked for a private room facing the street.

The Emperor was anxious. "Why not kill them to eliminate future trouble?"

"Qingfeng, Haoyue, and Jianghai are all here, but Shanchuan hasn't returned for a month. Wasn't he sent out by you?"

The shopkeeper led people to deal with the chaotic scene, and then came to the private room in person.

"Eat, don't worry about your image. No one knows you."

"Things played by children of a few years old, you are just using them. Your Dark Saint has stretched its hands too long. The islands at the confluence of the five kingdoms are not enough for you to stay, so you ran here to play? Who gave you the courage?"

"Get out!"

Just as they were talking, a seven or eight-year-old child ran toward them. He rushed past the Old Emperor, but was grabbed back by Qiao Mai with one hand.

"I advise you to let me go. Otherwise, if our Hall Master knows, your Great Ming Dynasty will be destroyed."

Qiao Mai picked two golden sugarcanes, divided them into several pieces, and handed them to the three of them.

She looked at the boy with a dark face. "Take out what you stole?"

Before ordering, the door of the private room was kicked open.

"The Prefect is only a fourth-rank official and has no military power. To govern Suzhou well, he must have a good relationship with the garrison outside the city. But I heard that the two families are like fire and water."

When the shopkeeper heard the Emperor's tone, he knew the background was not small, and sighed softly.

Walking in this city, one can feel the atmosphere of the north, and also the feeling of the south.

Occasionally entering the carriage, letting him stroke it twice, made the Old Emperor very proud.

"What is the Prefect doing?"

"How do you know about this?"

"Quite prosperous."

"What are you afraid of? With Heizi's ability, kill as many as come."

"You know what I mean."

The four of them strolled on the street, gnawing on sugarcane. "Why is this Suzhou City so quiet?"

This guy's restriction was probably set by the Hall Master above him.

"Don't say any more. Since you have fallen into your hands, kill or scrape, follow your heart."

"You won't kill us?"

"Not so. When I was punishing him, several pairs of eyes were staring at us. He has a gang behind him."

Then the wrist was pinched tighter and tighter, so that the child almost suffocated. Then she threw him to the ground with a flick of her hand. The child breathed desperately, then looked at Qiao Mai in fear.

"Yes, Hall Master."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he had a spasm, covered his chest and coughed constantly, and finally sat on the chair to regulate his breath.

"Send someone to find him back immediately."

"Killing you is as easy as slaughtering a chicken. Within three days, leave the Great Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, death!"

Seeing the four people with dignified appearance and extraordinary clothes, he first bowed respectfully.

Without saying a word, he was beaten out. The person on the ground covered his chest, looked at the upstairs in fear, and then stumbled out of the restaurant.

In a large hall on the islands, a middle-aged man was covering his chest and vomiting blood, vomiting even more than the Supreme Lord.

"What thing? I didn't see it."

"I suppose the Luzhou matter has spread, and no one dares to commit crimes against the wind, unless they don't want to live."

"Is it a theft gang?"

"Hmph, that's our Hall Master being low-key."

In Suzhou in October, the weather is getting colder. During the day, you can eat in the courtyard, but at night you have to move indoors.

Qiao Mai was too lazy to talk to him and directly searched his soul. As she expected, the restrictions in their minds were set layer by layer.

"Haha, that makes sense."

"Hall Master, there are heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people."

"This matter is not fresh. If you go to the teahouse to inquire, families with some eyeliner know it. This is not a secret. It's just that the Emperor is in the capital's palace, and the news is blocked."

Yuan Jiaqi smiled. "Give us all your specialties here."

As he spoke, he put a gold ingot on the table. The shopkeeper smiled and took the gold ingot into his hand.

"Several guests, eat here with peace of mind. What happened just now will not happen again. But once you go out of this door, I can't guarantee it. I wish you a pleasant meal."
