It was already past midnight. The entire Qiu Residence had fallen into silence. Only the patrolling servants were still yawning on their night shift.
At this moment, a loud bang rang out. The door was violently smashed open, startling the night watchman.
"Who are you? Who allowed you to trespass into my private residence? Guards, there are villains here! "
The watchman was a middle-aged man with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks. His eyes were dark, sunken, and swollen. He did not look energetic at all.
When the centurion sent his men to rush into the Qiu Residence, he tried to stop them but was unexpectedly kicked away by the centurion.
The centurion said, "Remember! No one in the Qiu Residence is allowed to escape. If one escapes, you will bear the consequences! "
This was a death order from above. They had to take it seriously. No matter how the watchman called for help, they rushed into the residence.
The watchman's call for help was effective. The patrolling servants heard the commotion and ran over to check on the situation, but they were captured and detained.
The soldiers' violent enforcement of the law made a lot of noise. Several people who were sound asleep were startled awake.
Although Old Master Qiu was old, he did not change his fondness for beauties. He always wanted a wife to warm his bed. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. When she heard the noise outside, she immediately shook the disheveled old man beside her to wake him up, but he scolded her instead.
"What do you want to do in the middle of the night, not letting anyone sleep?"
Old Master Qiu was very angry in bed. If he was in a bad mood, he would whip someone to death. Thus, no one dared to disturb him.
This new lady didn't know the rules. She was scared, but at the same time, she showed a timid and fearful expression. She was very nervous.
"Reporting to Old Master, there seems to be an intruder outside …"
Old Master Qiu rose angrily and hurriedly grabbed his outer robe to drape it over his shoulders. When he got up, he kicked the woman in the chest.
Although this Old Master Qiu was very old, the strength of his kick was not weak. The woman almost fainted.
"Useless!"
As soon as he opened the door, several soldiers dressed in neat leather armor blocked the door and looked like they were going to arrest him.
Old Master Qiu had never seen such a scene. He was so scared that his limbs turned cold. At the same time, an unknown anger rose in him.
"Who are you? This place is under the rule of the Lanting Duke. You bandits are committing crimes here. Are you tired of living? "
Hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other and could not help but mock, "What the hell! Capture him. Don't let this old man escape. "
Not only was Old Master Qiu in the room, but there was also a beautiful lady as pretty as a flower.
When everyone caught sight of the disheveled old man's attire and the young lady's appearance, they could not help but scoff.
He was already so old, yet he was still lustful and defiled a woman who was old enough to be his granddaughter. He was really shameless.
Old Master Qiu's hands were twisted behind his back. He was in so much pain that the veins on his forehead were bulging. He shouted loudly, but it was nothing more than a warning and a threat. He was using Jiang Pengji's name to intimidate others. The soldiers' ears hurt from listening to them. A clever soldier looked around and saw a pair of blue underwear lying beside Old Master Qiu's bed. He grabbed it, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into Old Master Qiu's mouth.
"You've finally shut up. You've almost made me deaf."
Seeing the situation, the lady who was captured could not care less about crying. Instead, she revealed an indescribable expression.
When Old Master Qiu was young, he did not control himself and contracted a minor illness that was difficult to talk about. As a result, he could not control his urine and feces in his sleep when he was old.
That pair of cyan underwear was taken off after being soaked in urine. She was bought to accompany Old Master Qiu. Not only was she to warm his bed and let him take advantage of her, but her other task was to help him change his dirty underwear to prevent him from flying into a rage when he woke up the next day.
At that moment, someone actually stuffed it into his mouth. This was really …
Tsk tsk!
Apart from Old Master Qiu being captured, Old Master Qiu's son, Qiu Meng, was no better.
Old Master Qiu loved beauties, and Qiu Meng was no exception. He could not be away from women for even a day.
Qiu Meng felt that he had made a great contribution to Yang Tao. In the future, he would have an easy time becoming an official. In his excitement, he was in high spirits and fooled around with his concubine for half the night. When the soldiers barged in, he had just fallen asleep out of exhaustion. He was a light sleeper and was woken up in no time.
"What's the ruckus outside?"
He nudged his concubine and asked her to get up and go outside to take a look. He went back to sleep.
His concubine did as she was told. Unsurprisingly, she was startled by the soldiers who had barged in and let out a high-pitched scream.
Qiu Meng was woken up by her. He grabbed something and threw it on the ground. "It's the middle of the night. Do you want to die?"
Soon, Qiu Meng heard loud and heavy footsteps approaching him.
"Who are you?"
Qiu Meng was not Old Master Qiu who did not step out of his house and only cared about his health. He immediately recognized the identity of the soldiers.
"We are arresting you. Do not resist. Otherwise, we will kill you on the spot. Please cooperate and do not make things difficult for us."
His words were polite, but his actions were not polite at all.
Qiu Meng was still in a daze when he was tied up and dragged out.
"Why are you arresting me?"
The soldier said, "We are also following orders."
"Orders?"
Qiu Meng's face turned pale. He quickly thought of the key point and his legs turned into noodles.
Could it be —
Qiu Meng swallowed nervously. Could it be that his secret actions with Yang Tao had been discovered?
If that was the case, wouldn't his life be in danger?
Qiu Meng thought of the exterminated Zhao Clan and his legs turned even weaker. If not for the soldiers dragging him, he would have fallen. These soldiers were indeed honest. They said that not a single person could escape. They even tied the wings of the two old hens raised in the kitchen and dragged them out.
The centurion couldn't help but facepalm.
Were the soldiers under him really not retarded?
"Put these people in prison and wait for the general and the counselor to come back for interrogation."
Qiu Meng didn't believe it. He shouted, "You have no evidence. Why are you accusing people?"
The centurion's left hand pressed on the hilt of his saber. His eyes were sharp and murderous, making Qiu Meng's heart tremble.
Unexpectedly, the centurion was a cultured man. He said in a genteel manner, "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it. You should reflect on yourself."
Qiu Meng paled in fright. Old Master Qiu had also guessed it. He was so frightened that he wet his pants.
The soldier sneered, "What a pair of promising father and son."
Everyone in the Qiu Residence was locked in the prison. The originally empty cell was immediately filled with people, and there was even noisy background music.
Qiu Meng and Old Master Qiu were locked together.
"Could it be that there was a leak somewhere?"
Qiu Meng tried to calm his wildly beating heart. He didn't know whether to comfort the old master or himself.
"Father, don't panic. Once Yang Tao wins, they can't do anything to us!"
Old Master Qiu looked haggard and miserable, but he could only trust his youngest son.
