Chapter 596: The Wicked Sue First
Chu Qing's face didn't look good. Mrs. Luo seemed to see through her thoughts. She stepped forward and wrapped one of Chu Qing's hands with both hands and said:
"Mr. Chu, I'm putting you in a difficult situation. It's the old woman who is too selfish. You are also a woman. It's not easy to survive this situation today. We shouldn't use our own affairs to cause trouble for you;
From the day you came to the village, you were able to cook for the children and copy books seriously despite the gossip of the villagers, the old lady knew that you had a stoic character;
Later, bandits from Donglun came to cause trouble in the village. You saved my third daughter-in-law regardless of your own safety. Even though she always spoke rudely to you, you still saved her... That saved the lives of the old woman and the whole family!
At that time, my two daughters-in-law were not at home, and they had been inquiring about their husbands. We were the only ones at home, our mother-in-law and our little grandson. Without you, we would all be doomed;
We have always wanted to repay this kindness, but we couldn't find a way. Now we have to use this matter to embarrass you...just...just pretend that the old lady never said anything, never said..."
At the end of the sentence, the old man's eyes darkened, and he looked a little resigned to his fate.
A woman's brief whimpering and rustling sounds came from the outer room. I think someone heard her and she was dragged away again.
Not to mention how useless the three fat wives are, just saying that the old lady risked her life to rescue Chu Qing from the bandits, so Chu Qing could not be ignored.
Over the years, the Luo family has never given him any trouble, and even the three-fat daughter-in-law, who is not stingy, has avoided him and sneaked away.
If he hadn't been desperate, he wouldn't have thought of kneeling down to coerce him, right?
"Old lady, I will find a way to do this, but I don't know anything about the secret guards and I don't know the attitude of the Holy Emperor today, so I can't guarantee the final outcome," Chu Qing said.
The secretly sad old man suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of hope: "No, no, I promise, it's a great kindness for you to help!"
When Chu Qing and Zhuo Yao were preparing to leave the Luo family's yard, they heard Zhuo Yao sigh lowly. When passing by the box containing medicinal materials, he kicked angrily at the box that followed him from afar.
A few women behind who wanted to give it away but didn't dare to come forward said: "My boss brought you some medicinal materials, huh!"
Behind him, the three-fat daughter-in-law who gave Chu Qing a headache cried again. Chu Qing really couldn't bear it this time. He went back in two steps, grabbed her collar, stretched out his hand and said loudly: "You
Do you want the whole world to know about the things that the whole family is secretive about?"
After the beating, Chu Qing exhaled a breath, so happy!
I’ve wanted to beat her up for a year or two!

Kyoto, Imperial Study Room.
The emperor frowned and looked at the two letters on the imperial desk.
It was a very thin document, only a thin page, with only two lines of dry words on it. The first line: There is a secret guard named Luo who has been living abroad for more than ten years and has not been able to return. He has reached the fourth generation.
The second line contains several names and place of birth. The first two names are also drawn in black boxes: Luo Zhuan, Luo Guxing, Luo Ping, Luo An, Luo Quan, Luo Fulu.
The other one is very thick, not because the paper is thick, but because there are many pages.
It was written almost in a cursing tone, and the handwriting was sloppy. You didn’t need to look closely to imagine how angry the writer was.
This angry letter was written by Chu Qing to Hu Hengqiu. Thinking of the scene where Chu Qing acted violently with Yan Guan in the court, the emperor rubbed the bridge of his nose as if he had been scolded by Chu Qing in person.
Chu Qing's letter changed from her usual rigid, rigorous and matter-of-fact style. It was full of plain words without saying anything, and she wrote hard, with many holes poked out of the paper by her special pen.
The emperor looked at the section with the densest number of holes on the letter:
... Mr. Hu, how did I join the Secret Investigation Department? You don’t know it even if others don’t know it? If you don’t believe me, don’t let me be the deputy Qianhu of the Voss Directorate. I don’t care!
While you are using me, you also hire some "secret guards" to do the same thing. Who do you look down on?
Do you know how much effort my people put into hiding in Voss Country?
They do the lowest and most arduous work, eat food that even dogs would not eat, and are beaten and scolded, and may even lose their lives under the whip.
They have managed to survive until today, and have controlled the people's speech to a level that can make the tribes resent each other and ignite the flames. It would be better for you to get a secret guard to come out and instigate the fourth prince Kelidi to attack Daxuan.
Is now the time? Let me ask you, if we start a war now, what will happen to Daxuan? Don't tell me that it is just a plan and will not really happen. What if it happens?
The people of the tribe have been stirred up by my people and become angry. What will happen if the fourth prince seizes this emotion and sends troops?
Will this year's famine and hungry people lose confidence in the imperial court again because of the war?
Even if it's not to such a serious level, what if your "secret guard" makes a mistake and implicates my people? Where do you put these boys under me?
Do you think that they died because they were loyal to the country and that it was their duty? Then let me tell you, if they died because of your "secret guards", they were not loyal to the country but died in vain!
You high-ranking officials don't take the lives of the people below us as our fate. I can't, but I can take these guys as treasures!
Mr. Hu, I quit my job! This letter is my resignation! If you want to punish me, hurry up. See if I can blink an eyelid!
"Ouch, this is really a curse!" The emperor wiped his face with his hand, as if he had been sprayed by Chu Qing's spit.
"No group!" The emperor shouted while still staring at the letter.
"Your Majesty." Buqun appeared in front of the emperor's case and saluted.
"How many secret guards do you estimate are still living outside?" the emperor asked.
Buqun: "Back to the emperor, it's hard to say. Back then, the former emperor's palace and the side hall were caught in a fire, and the roster was burned together. Later, the commander-in-chief was seriously injured and died before he could finish memorizing the names on the roster."
The emperor nodded, his voice a little helpless: "I have always believed that it is not easy for you to get married, and the royal family cannot continue the secret guards well in this way, so I separated the secret guards and incorporated them into the Secret Reconnaissance Department so that they can function normally.
When it comes to marrying a wife and having children, it seems that there are still some oversights!"
The group is as silent as cicadas.
Royal regulations are something you, the emperor, can comment on, and others dare not comment on them.
"Is it difficult for the secret guards to survive in Voss?" the emperor asked again.
Buqun put it simply: "It's not easy to think about it, after all, the looks are very different."
Emperor: "It's hard for you."
