Chapter 4: Caught

  He glanced around for a moment, then turned his head and walked straight out the door!

  What to do now? Zhan Zhao walked out of Kaifeng Prefecture all the way, feeling extremely bewildered in his heart, and unknowingly circled several streets.

  "I hope that damn thing suddenly works!" Zhan Zhao wailed, this time, he was really stumped, a lawyer who had traveled through time and space, couldn't think of any solution!

  "Ugh~~" Zhan Zhao's face was covered in black lines. Where is this place? No way, I'm lost! Don't even mention the Imperial Son-in-law's residence, now I don't even know where Kaifeng Prefecture is! Am I going to end up empty-handed after walking around in circles?!

  Zhan Zhao's eyes narrowed, and in his mind, he involuntarily thought of the scene where he got lost for a day and then returned to Kaifeng Prefecture.

  "Spread out and guard, the imperial edict can be taken now!?" A certain young man's voice!

  "A subordinate's shame, as soon as I left the house, I got lost and wandered for a long time before finding my way back to Kaifeng Prefecture..." A guard's inner voice.

  "Oh~~~ Xian Wei, this official wants you to handle some matters but you can't even do them properly. What's the point of keeping you? Guards, take Xian Zhao and throw him into the great prison."

  Zhan Zhao suddenly came to his senses, looked around and saw that there were many people around him. He shook his head, "Damn it! I'm a future person who has crossed over, I'll definitely find a way to get that so-called 'rest book'!"

  Zhan Zhao hastily grabbed someone, cupped his hands and was about to speak when the person suddenly bowed to Zhan Zhao and said, "Your humble servant has seen Lord Zhan!"

  "Uh..." Zhan Zhao was momentarily speechless and said, "You know me!?"

  "Governor Zhan is joking. In Kaifeng Prefecture, who doesn't know Governor Zhan? I don't know why Governor Zhan has stopped a humble commoner like me, what's the matter?" The man said politely.

  Zhan Zhao let out a sigh and said, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll ask you directly, where is the Marquis's residence?"

  "Ah!?" The man was stunned and said, "Huh, walking down this street, turning left will see it, how could Master Zhang not know?!"

  Zhan Zhao waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something and got lost in thought for a moment. Thanks for telling me, little brother, I'll go first!" Then, without waiting for the other person to respond, Zhan Zhao quickly ran out and rushed towards the Marquis's residence!

  Looking at the so-called Marquis's mansion gate, Zhan Zhao was stunned. The Marquis Chen Shi Mei's mansion, bestowed by the Emperor himself, faced south and occupied hundreds of hectares, with the imperial street to the east and a bustling market to the west, making it a prime location for feng shui. Inside, there were numerous palaces, halls, and buildings, with over 40 large and small courtyards, as well as seven or eight scenic gardens. To be more detailed, the eunuchs, slaves, palace maids, cooks, and others inside were countless, not to mention the guards who stood watch day and night, making it a heavily guarded place. In short, even a fly without status wouldn't dare to sneak in.

  Zhan Zhao jumped two circles, came to a wall outside, and with a burst of strength, he jumped up about one meter high. After falling down, Zhan Zhao finally praised, "Indeed, it's the body of a noble cat, not ordinary at all! With just a light jump, I can jump up one meter high, which is almost as good as those NBA stars in my previous life!"

  "Ugh... we're not here to admire this body, the key is, how do we get in?!" Zhan Zhao was on the verge of tears, looking up at the sky with a blank expression.

  The sky was blue, the rising sun scattered sunlight, warming people up, and Zhan Zhao couldn't help but feel a little excited. A warm current flowed from his lower abdomen down to his calves, and suddenly he came back to himself, exerted force under his feet, and silently flew over the wall into the courtyard!

  "This is what they call qinggong!? Earlier, it really did feel like I was floating on clouds! Zhao Fan secretly praised himself, shook his head, and furrowed his brow. "But what exactly was that feeling just now? Why was it so strange!? Let me try again!"

  Zhan Zhao continued to jump up and down, speechless with shock, because he didn't have that flying feeling again!

  "Alas, this is not the time to practice martial arts. The key is how to get that letter of pardon!" Zhan Zhao let out a sigh and hid behind a fake mountain, crouched down, and swiftly ran towards the inner courtyard!

  "What a guy! Come out!" A team of guards suddenly passed by, and the leader shouted loudly.

  "Ugh... I'm really not cut out for this thieving business..." Zhan Zhao wailed, standing up straight.

  Take a deep breath, tongue bursts into spring flowers, let out a loud roar, "I am Bai Yutang, the Jinmao mouse of Trap Island's Five Mice!"

  Hmph! The reputation of the Five Rats of Trap Island is quite renowned. Have you heard and still don't fear?!

  The leader nodded and said with an awkward face, "Uh, is Lord Zhan joking!?! Hehe~~"

  "Ah~~" Zhan Zhao was instantly petrified, it turned out that they knew each other!

  He waved his hand and said, "I'm here to find the son-in-law, I don't know where he is!"

  The leading silly-looking man said, "Eh, the crown prince should be with Gong Liu now, how can you not know, Lord Zhang!?"

  Zhan Zhao nodded and smiled, "I forgot, oh well, since the son-in-law is not here, I'll leave first, bye ~~" Then he quickly found a position and ran out!

  The leader pondered for a moment, not understanding what "bai bai" meant, and stared at Xian Zhao in shock as he ran out. Suddenly, he came back to his senses, "Eh, Lord Xian didn't leave by the main gate, and the direction he went just now isn't the exit! So, that means Lord Xian should be considered a trespasser of the Crown Prince's residence!"

  "Come on, let's take down Zhan Zhao!" The leader of the guards shouted loudly after regaining his composure. A group of people chased after Zhan Zhao in a mighty manner!

  A group of people surrounded Zhan Zhao, Zhan Zhao sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. In my previous life, I lost my life for the sake of justice, and in this life, it seems that I will have to die again for the so-called righteousness and justice!"

  The crowd surrounded Zhan Zhao, but they didn't make a move, as if they were afraid of something!

  Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, and in his heart, he had already understood that these people were intimidated by his past reputation. He thought to himself, "Why not use the reputation of Nan Xiaoyao's 'Cat' to help me out? Maybe I can escape." Zhan Zhao smiled lightly and said, "What's going on? Are you trying to take down Zhan but failing?"

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, but none of them dared to make a move. The leader remained silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, and suddenly drew his sword from its scabbard, fiercely slashing towards Zhan Zhao, shouting "Take down Zhan Zhao!"

  Zhan Zhao was shocked and stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Stop! Bind Zhan and send him to the Kaifeng Prefecture!"

  Everyone was stunned, the leader hesitated for a moment, and the long knife was tentatively placed on Zhan Zhao's neck, but found that Zhan Zhao had no reaction. The leader let out a sigh of relief, remained silent for a long time, and said, "Lord Zhan is right, trespassing into the imperial son-in-law's mansion, it's better to bind him and send him to Kaifeng Prefecture!"

  The rest of the people looked at each other in dismay, and a few of them went forward and tied up Zhan Zhao!
