“These things that are worse than pigs and dogs are indeed not good people.” As soon as his voice fell, the stiff lackey crouching in front of Ding Suian flew backward like a broken sack. ‘Crack—clatter—’ The entire wooden cage was smashed to pieces upon impact. After it landed, one could see that the lackey's Adam's apple had already caved in, as if his windpipe had been shattered by a single punch. It seemed he was somewhat dead. The middle-aged man in black silk…-

At the mao hour, the sky was already bright. Gongye Ni clutched a handful of tangled red threads, scrambling out of the No. 7 culvert in Tongqu Ward in a disheveled state. In the morning light, his expression, usually as cold as ice, rarely showed signs of tension and panic. "Old Gong! What do we do?" His colleague, Wang Jar, looked no less panicked than Gongye Ni, and even uttered a rather foolish statement: "Let's report this to the authorities!" The Nine Gates…

Nearly a hundred paces away, looking from afar, the torch in Fei Rongbao's hand looked like a flickering ghost fire. Ding Suian and Chest Hair followed for another cup of tea's time until Fei Rongbao reached a relatively wide intersection in the tunnel. The torch suddenly dimmed and then went out. With the disappearance of the only light source, the surroundings were once again plunged into endless darkness. "Boss!" Chest Hair, who was following behind, had a…

It was late at night, the Hour of the Rat. In Tongqu Ward, the Warm Fragrance Courtyard was still bustling with people. This place was not the typical, luxurious and elegant brothel. The courtyard gate was low, with two faded old lanterns hanging under the eaves, their dim, yellowish light barely illuminating the potholed muddy ground in front of the door. There was neither the pleasant sound of string and bamboo instruments nor poetry and songs for entertainment; the air was thick…

Inside the duty room, fog billowed. In the height of summer, the residual ink on the inkstone on the official desk had actually frozen into ice. It was the simple wooden bed that was constantly radiating cold air. Ding Suian held Xu Jiuxi tightly; her legs had completely transformed into a crimson snake tail, with fine scales shimmering like pearls, unconsciously coiling around his waist and abdomen. Her bare upper body, from the waist up to her slender neck, was covered in…

Night, at the hour of the Pig. Central Heaven, west of the city, Estate. Old Man sat cross-legged on a cushion, holding a short knife that did not look very sharp, carefully carving a wooden sword less than two feet long. A pile of wood shavings lay before him. Through the open window, a nimble figure floated in like a spirit, landing silently behind him. Old Man seemed completely unaware, continuing his work. After a long while, he held up the wooden sword to check it against…

"What do you mean?" Ding Suian slowly turned toward Han Jingru. The latter did not dare to meet his gaze, instead casting an encouraging look at Chen Hong sitting at the head. By this point, even if Chen Hong were any slower, he would still know how to follow the path paved by Han Jingru. He gave a light cough and smiled, "Duke of Chu County, do not be angry. Only after I have clarified the situation can I help clear the Duke of Chu County's name, so as to…

May 20th. At the Hai hour of the night, in the back hall of the Nine Gates Patrol Yamen, Hu Couhe, the butler, gatekeeper, and guard of the Chu County Dukes Residence, skillfully changed into a light pink chest-high ruqun. Nearby, Chest Hair circled him twice, shook his head, and said, "Couhe, you've gained nothing for three consecutive nights. The problem must be in the way you walk." "What's wrong with the way I walk?" "Walk a few steps and let me see." "Walking is…

7-9 am, exactly the second quarter. Princess Xingguo's Residence, Mufen Study. This was Princess Xingguo's study, and also where she usually handled official business. In the entire Great Wu, the number of people who could enter and leave at will could be counted on one hand. Lin Hansu counted as one. At the head of the room, Princess Xingguo held an official document, looking as if she had lost her train of thought, staring for a long time at the ice basin emitting…

“Deep in the night, where are you going?” “To the Law Academy.” “To the Law Academy?” “Yes, I haven't seen you for a few days, so I was planning to go take a look.” At the beginning of the 7-9 am (Zi hour) period, Ding Suian, who had just stepped out only to be blocked by the female rogue, turned around and walked back with Xu Jiuxi. He couldn't expose the Estate, as Old Man and Zhao Ning were there. “Heh, is that…
