Chapter 1755: Chapter 1755: Won’t Be That Lucky Anymore

"Hiss!"

The other deputy generals, upon hearing Zhe Jue’s words, all sucked in a breath of cold air.

Over the years, they were aware of the things General Su Wan had done in Lotus Commandery, especially his daughter, who had become famous even in neighboring commanderies.

However, they were all Su Wan’s deputies, serving together as officials, and he was their superior.

They could only turn a blind eye, otherwise life would become very difficult.

But they had not expected that the imperial court, for some unknown reason, had become aware of Su Wan’s actions and had sent someone. Now, not only Su Wan was in trouble, but all the people in Commander Su’s mansion might be caught in a single sweep.

Considering this, Zhe Jue did not see much sympathy on everyone’s faces, on the contrary, they all seemed excited.

It seemed that this Su Wan was indeed despised by everyone in Lotus Commandery.

"Yes, I will obey the command," said Shen Qing, receiving his orders and proceeding to count his troops.

...

Almost overnight, Commander Su’s mansion, which once commanded the winds and rains in Lotus Commandery, fell from the clouds and became a target for everyone.

Madam Su in the mansion had initially received a secret report from one of Su Wan’s confidants and was planning to flee with her valuables.

But before she could leave Lotus Commandery, she was caught and brought back.

The rest of the Su Family was also trapped inside Commander Su’s mansion.

Upon hearing this good news, the citizens of Lotus Commandery who had been bullied by people from Commander Su’s mansion came in droves to see the situation.

In their hearts, everyone thought that if Su Wan truly ended up in the hands of an official even more powerful than he was, then they would surely join in kicking him while he was down.

In fact, this wasn’t about kicking someone while down, but about seeking revenge and voicing grievances.

Soon, many people gathered outside Commander Su’s mansion, not only were they citizens who had been bullied, but also some officials of Lotus Commandery who secretly watched from the side.

"Who did the imperial court send this time, to dare act against General Su, this local tyrant?" asked an adult dressed as an ordinary citizen to a colleague also there to watch the events unfold.

In the past, the imperial court had sent officials, but most of them would wine and dine with Su Wan, then leave without resolving anything, simply brushing off the dust and departing.

But this time, it seemed serious.

"Seeing how Commander Su’s mansion is surrounded like an iron barrel, it seems... Commander Su might not be so lucky this time, right?" asked an official.

"Alas, have you heard? Yesterday, General Su’s precious daughter, in front of many onlookers, fought over a man in a pharmacy, and it’s said there was a female physician in charge of the pharmacy. Could it be her?"

"Could it be?"

Someone expressed doubt.

A woman alone, to have the capability to do this to Su Wan, this local snake.

Look, even Commander Su’s mansion has been raided. Su Wan has not been shy in taking bribes over the years. In Lotus Commandery, the rich merchants stopped currying favor with local officials and instead stuffed large amounts of silver into the hands of Commander Su’s mansion, into Madam Su’s and Eldest Miss Su’s hands.

He estimated that just the gold, silver, and jewels would be enough for Commander Su’s mansion to squander for several lifetimes, right?

"I heard that in our Liang Kingdom there is a divine female physician who not only saved the Elder Princess but also received a Death Exemption Token personally awarded by the Emperor. Could it be her?"
