~5 min read 909 words

"I am going to arrest someone now."

Before Jiang Huan had walked very far.

Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but sternly shout to stop him.

"Stop!"

Jiang Huan's body instantly froze in place.

Then he heard Zhu Yuanzhang, exhausted and drained, point towards those several remonstrance officials in the distance and say.

"Go, issue the imperial decree."

Jiang Huan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said.

"0.3 hey!"

Not long after.

Jiang Huan strode majestically out from the corner of the imperial prison that had been blown up and collapsed.

Looking at the several remonstrance officials before him, he shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty has issued a decree: Su Qiao, Lord Su, has merited great service in developing gunpowder; all his crimes are hereby pardoned! All you lords, please return!"

Those several remonstrance officials instantly went dumbfounded.

"Jiang Huan! It must be you, this treacherous villain, who has bewitched Your Majesty!"

"Escaping prison is a grave crime; how can it be simply let go!"

"If everyone in the world were like this, what use would the Ministry of Justice have for Great Ming? And what use would you Embroidered Uniform Guard have?"

Hearing this, Jiang Huan could not help but let out a cold snort, pointing at the prison cells behind him and snorting.

"All you lords, if you are not convinced, then go in and replicate a batch of the gunpowder made by Lord Su; I will go and ask Your Majesty on your behalf for a pardon of death!"

Hearing Jiang Huan say this.

The crowd of remonstrance officials around instantly lost their temper.

Only a handful hid in the crowd, muttering quietly.

"Clever tricks and obscene arts; gentlemen despise them!"

"What is there to say to such a treacherous villain as this? Everyone, let us disperse."

"..."

Even though these remonstrance officials were unwilling.

They still had to leave in a sullen mood.

Meanwhile, at the other end, Su Qiao.

Sat at his doorway and actually finished eating two sets of scallion pancakes with fried dough sticks.

Still no sign of the Embroidered Uniform Guard coming to arrest him.

His heart instantly panicked.

Could Jiang Huan be that stupid?

Arresting someone without first raiding my home?!

Just as Su Qiao was at a loss for what to do.

He spotted those several remonstrance officials who had just advised Old Zhu outside the imperial prison to execute him, walking towards his home.

Seeing these people, Su Qiao felt as if he had seen his own kin.

He didn't even bother to wipe his mouth.

He instantly walked out to meet those several people...

111, the missionary numbed by the shock!

"Oh, all you lords, what a coincidence; we meet again here?"

Su Qiao clasped his hands and greeted them with a smiling face.

Unexpectedly, those several people glanced at Su Qiao.

Contempt instantly appeared on their faces.

Without even deigning to speak a word, they instantly walked towards the roast duck shop behind Su Qiao.

Leaving only Su Qiao standing there alone, dazed and bewildered in the wind.

Su Qiao:????

It's over!

Are officials of Great Ming so indifferent to fugitives now?

How is this nation? Ask the general question of the system?

"No, all you lords, I am a fugitive from the imperial prison!"

"You are just like this?"

As soon as Su Qiao finished speaking.

Liu Wu Liu Liu Yi Ba Ba Jiu Liu

Ruo

Shui

Qun

He heard those several remonstrance officials say with a face full of disgust.

"Treacherous villain! Are you trying to humiliate us?"

"Your Majesty can pardon you, but can Heaven and Earth pardon you?!"

"Do you know what it means that if men do not remove you, Heaven will surely slay you?!"

"Heaven's net is vast; though its mesh is sparse, nothing escapes. He who commits many wrongs will surely bring about his own ruin!"

Hearing the threats from those few censors.

Su Qiao was utterly stunned by the words of those few censors.

Old Zhu has pardoned me?!

No, isn't the plot supposed to go like this?

Su Qiao had no time to waste words with those few censors.

He immediately ran toward the direction of the Imperial Prison.

Not long after.

He saw a large contingent of the Embroidered Uniform Guard standing outside the Imperial Prison, forming neat rows.

And Jiang Huan's roars rose and fell one after another.

"..."

"From now on, even if the sky falls, you must each attend to your duties!"

"If such incidents occur again, do you think I, the Director, will spare you?"

"This is simply outrageous!"

Amidst Jiang Huan's scolding.

Su Qiao walked up to Jiang Huan with a numb expression.

And the crowd of Embroidered Uniform Guard outside the Imperial Prison also fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's gaze fell squarely on Su Qiao.

Su Qiao looked awkwardly at Jiang Huan and asked,

"Director Jiang, if I say I just went out to buy a pancake, can I still go back in?"

How novel!

Which prisoner goes out to buy a pancake while in jail?

The corners of Jiang Huan's mouth twitched slightly.

How can someone be so idle as to squeeze into the Imperial Prison?!

Jiang Huan, with a gloomy face, looked at Su Qiao and said,

"My Lord Su, His Majesty has already issued an edict, pardoning your crime."

"If you are well, go home quickly."

Having said this, before Su Qiao could even react.
