Chapter 1754: Chapter 1754: The Sky is High, and the Emperor is Far Away

"Additionally, after taking over the camp, go directly to the garrison mansion and arrest all those from the Su Family within. Wait until Su Wan’s crimes over the years are confirmed, then deal with them all at once," Lin Caisang thought for a moment, then spoke again.

"Yes."

Zhe Jue responded and turned to leave.

Chunfen and Xiafen, the two maids, were completely stunned to see Lin Caisang produce the Death Exemption Token from the wooden box.

Although they had never seen the token before, being maids from the garrison mansion, how could they not have heard of it? These two really are important figures, even possessing a Death Exemption Token.

Does this mean that the general is doomed?

And does that mean they no longer need to fear their young mistress taking revenge on them, since she is now in deep trouble herself?

...

Inside the north camp of Lotus Commandery.

Su Wan had just received the news that his treasured daughter was missing and was urgently preparing to rush back to the garrison mansion.

Before he could get on his horse, he saw a group of people dressed in black burst into the camp.

"Who are you people, daring to break into... Ah!"

Before he could finish his question, he was swept off his feet by a palm strike from Zhe Jue.

"Arrest Su Wan."

"Yes."

Two figures stepped forward from beside Zhe Jue and grabbed the disheveled Su Wan.

"You... Who are you people, to treat this general with such disrespect? Come, someone, arrest these audacious bandits for this general!" Su Wan shouted, eyes bloodshot as he was restrained.

"General, stop shouting, these are people from above." A few of the camp’s deputy generals rushed over and, upon seeing the scene, dared not utter a word.

One of the deputy generals, face flushed, lowered his voice and gestured covertly at Su Wan, trying to hint to him.

"What? People from above, what ’above’? My superior is the Emperor, surely you don’t mean to say you are..." Su Wan, of course, did not believe that these were people sent by any superior.

He had been in Lotus Commandery for so many years, long accustomed to being a king in his own right.

Moreover, in all these years, no one from above had ever been sent down. How could it be that today, of all days, and without any warning, people from above had arrived in Lotus Commandery?

Even if someone from above did come, what of it? The Emperor is far away and Lotus Commandery has long been his, Su Wan’s domain. No one else can dream of taking away the military power of Lotus Commandery from him, not even the Emperor.

"I am ordered to take over the north camp. Su Wan, the serious errors you’ve committed in Lotus Commandery will be thoroughly investigated by me, then you’ll be taken to the capital for punishment, without mercy!"

Zhe Jue brandished the Death Exemption Token in front of Su Wan, his piercing gaze fixed upon him, and declared.

"Death... Death Exemption Token!"

Su Wan was frightened; the power of the Death Exemption Token was truly immense, beyond merely sparing a few people from execution.

Anybody who erred within the court, the holder of the Death Exemption Token had the right to execute first and report later!

His legs gave way, and he knelt to the ground.

"Take him away!"

Zhe Jue’s cold eyes watched Su Wan as he ordered the men restraining him.

"Yes, Commander."

The subordinates responded, taking Su Wan away.

"What’s your name?"

After Su Wan was escorted out, Zhe Jue turned to the deputy generals beside him, asking one who had a stoic face showing no emotion.

"Deputy General Shen Qing," Shen Qing replied.

"Take your troops and follow me to surround the garrison mansion. Detain everyone there!" Zhe Jue commanded.
