Miao Zhizhi said nothing more when she saw Su Binglans confident expression. The former knew she only needed to believe in her niece, especially since she knew how capable Su Binglan was.

Although supposedly only the Miao familys direct descendants could use and remove parasites from people, Su Binglan had learned to do it, too. Even Miao Zhizhi was impressed, thinking she only knew little about her nieces abilities.

Su Binglan knew more than Miao Zhizhi thought.

Soon after Su Binglan and Luo Jinan returned home, she told her husband the details about the Miao family before going to bed.

It seems Tuoba Liuyun has planted his men in many forces, Luo Jinan said, Perhaps he has men in the Imperial Court, too.

Su Binglan replied, Fortunately, Ruozhu has become the emperor and made considerable changes to the Imperial Court by replacing many of its members. He replaced them with trustworthy people, regardless of whether they came from the lower cla.s.s. These people can do good things for the commoners.

However, there are some Im wary about. Ill give a copy of their names to my brother, and hell deal with them.

Su Binglan knew the names of the suspects who had contacted Tuoba Liuyun through Miao Zhizhi. She knew Lan Ruozhu could deal with them as long as he did a little investigation.

Luo Jinan looked through the name list, saying, I didnt expect these people to be related to the former dynasty.

Su Binglan added, Its normal for the previous dynasty to plant their chess pieces.

Back then, Su Binglan and Lan Ruozhu had also nurtured many spies and planted them in several places. Even so, it was to obtain more information to protect themselves and for critical moments.

Luo Jinan said, The former emperor condoned his officials to bully the people and increase taxes. He was selfish and never attended court. People raised complaints everywhere while the loyal officials and righteous generals were tortured to death.

The ancestors of the former emperor conquered the country because of various reasons. Now, the commoners have long forgotten the Tuoba Dynasty. Even if they did, they would only remember how much the Tuoba Dynasty hurt the commoners.

The commoners had a terrible impression of the Tuoba Dynasty. There were even records of the dynastys misdeeds in both historical books and unofficial history. In the past, everyone had overthrown the Tuoba Dynasty to survive.

Su Binglans expression turned cold as she said, We still dont know if Jiang Liuyun is Tuoba Liuyun. Perhaps hes just using that name to usurp the throne.

Although some wanted to be the emperor, they needed a reason for others to follow them. The descendants of the Tuoba Dynasty were an excellent reason to make many think Tuoba Liuyun was the orthodox and support him.

Unfortunately, he was a terrible person and only depended on parasites to harm others.

Luo Jinan said, Things will become much easier if we get rid of Tuoba Liuyun. His forces wont be able to cause any trouble without a leader.

Su Binglan nodded. Well stay home for a few more days before heading to the Miao family.

After discussing these things, the couple were not in a hurry to sleep. Instead, they drew a map of the Miao Tribe according to Miao Zhizhis explanation.

Thats about all Aunt Zhizhi told me about the Miao Tribes terrain. Its pretty detailed, dont you think? Su Binglan could remember the maps details but still asked Luo Jinan about it to make sure.

Since Luo Jinan also had a photographic memory and specialized in this field, he could memorize the map very quickly. Soon after, the couple washed up and went to bed.

While lying in the room, Su Binglan looked out the window toward the sky. She sighed and said, Dont you feel better now that were home?

Luo Jinan nodded. Its as if Ive forgotten all our trivial problems now that were back.

Yeah, thats how I feel, too. Once we settle things regarding the Miao family, well be free to do whatever we want. We can go anywhere, too.

Of course, Luo Jinan said gently, Ill follow you wherever you go.

Su Binglan smiled at him and nodded. She felt warm inside and had the strength to do wonders with her husband beside her.

After a good nights sleep, Su Wenwu woke up early to make changes to some of his restaurants. He also opened a wine house that sold kebabs, wine, crayfish, and crabs.

Now that everyone was well-off, Su Wenwu introduced two new dishes. Everyone rushed to his restaurants to eat when they heard about it. They did not even ask what the dishes were because they knew the Su familys dishes were delicious, regardless of what they were.

The spicy crab and spicy crayfish dishes were a hit as soon as Su Wenwu introduced them to the public. Previously, people were raving about the cold noodles. Soon after, people gravitated toward the crabs and crayfish.

However, Su Wenwu also told his customers that the new dishes were not suitable for everyone to eat. He also told them that they should not eat certain foods simultaneously.

It was to prevent some people from getting severe allergic reactions to seafood.

After staying home for two more days, Su Binglan and Luo Jinan set off to the Miao Tribe. Of course, they did not tell Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua about it. Instead, the younger couple said they were going out to take a look around.

Su Fengmao and his wife thought nothing much of it and let them go. Meanwhile, Su Fengmao spent the past two days with his G.o.dfather, strolling around the village and eating local cuisines. He even brought Ji Zhengjing to the Grand Theater to watch a play.

Ji Zhengjing did not expect Su Teng Village to be so lively. Since that was the case, he decided to retire here.

Although the Miao Tribe remained hidden in a secluded place, Su Binglan and Luo Jinan quickly found their location. The couple avoided the groups of guards and went to the innermost courtyard where Miao Sisi lived. She would also be the Miao Tribes next matriarch.

Miao Zhizhi was supposed to be the matriarch, but Miao Sisi had manipulated the people into thinking her sister was a terrible person. Therefore, Miao Sisi was now in control of almost all the tribe members.

When Su Binglan and Luo Jinan entered the courtyard, they heard a conversation inside.

Lady Sisi, weve encountered a problem with the Ye family. They havent responded to us in a long time.

What do you mean? Miao Sisi asked coldly, Havent they obtained the Black Shadow Pavilion token yet?

Ye s.h.i.+shan said hed find it soon. Its just that

What is it?! Spit it out! Miao Sisi roared impatiently.

I-Its just that we havent heard from him for a long time, Lady Sisi, the man reported.
