Chapter 538: Revealing Your Identity

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shao Shuting felt that it was a pity. He originally wanted to make Jiang Yue and Xue Yan his two good friends before he left, but it seemed like that wouldn’t happen.

Shao Shuting didn’t know that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had experienced so many things in life that their hearts had turned cold. It took time and many other factors to warm up their hearts.

Moreover, the two of them knew his identity. It was just that he himself did not know that they knew.

That was why Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were cold.

However, Jiang Yue’s cute appearance and Xue Yan’s good manners made it hard for people to notice that they were both cold.

Seeing that the two children only looked at him calmly and didn’t speak, Shao Shuting didn’t talk about this matter anymore. “Forget it. Anyways, Xue Dagui really can sleep through anything.” He even laughed as he spoke.

Xue Dagui’s snores were deafening.

It was so loud that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan naturally heard it. They subconsciously looked at Xue Dagui’s room and saw that the window was open. The village was so lively just now, and so many people surrounded the door of Xue Dagui’s house, but Xue Dagui didn’t even bother to wake up. He really was a heavy sleeper.

“Alright, it’s late. You guys should go back to sleep.” Shao Shuting smiled.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan agreed and also went home.

Shiye’s carriage and horse didn’t stop all the way until they arrived at the county’s Gate.

The county gate was closed because it was so late at night. Shiye got off the carriage and knocked on the gate. The two officers on duty inside the county government were sitting on the chair, each leaning against a pillar and taking a nap. When they heard the sound, they immediately said fiercely, “Who is it? Why are you here in the middle of the night?”

The person outside the door did not make a sound. In the past, there were people who came to knock on the door of the county office in the middle of the night, but they all made a sound and reported who they were. Usually, those people were higher ranking than their County Magistrate. They could not afford to offend them, so they naturally did not dare to be fierce. They were obviously annoyed at the lack of reporting and naturally held an offensive stance towards the unknown person.

However, they still opened the door subconsciously.

Shiye pulled off the token he had tied to his waist halfway and showed it to them. Before he came, his general had told him that he could reveal his identity.

The Crown Prince wasn’t here, and the general had been followed before. It must have been Consort Yi and the Ji family keeping an eye on them. They should already know that the general was here, so there was no need to hide it for fear of others knowing his identity.

“What…? Ah!” When the two officers on duty saw the token, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt down, trembling.

This man was from the southern army.

“Let me have a prison cell,” Shiye randomly pointed at a person, “You, go and call some people to lock up those unruly people in the carriage.”

“Yes, sir.” The officer who was pointed at immediately went to call for people.

Shiye followed those people to the prison. He had to give the jailer some instructions. He couldn’t kill the people, but he had to clean up this mess so that they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble again when they were released.

The other officer saw that Shiye had followed him and quickly closed the door.

He then ran to the residence of the County Magistrate and knocked on his door.

“Sir, I have news to report.” The officer was so anxious that he kept his voice low, afraid of waking the County Magistrate’s family.

The back residence of the county office was for the living of the County Magistrate and his family..
