Old Su exchanged a glance with Zong Ze beside him:
"They've come so quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Seven or eight men in plain clothes flooded into the courtyard.
Leading them was a small-statured middle-aged man with triangular eyes, exuding a somewhat sleazy demeanor.
This kind of appearance usually disqualified one from holding office in ancient times.
This person clearly knew Old Su, as he entered the courtyard and presented a small golden token, bowing slightly to Old Su:
"Zhao Yuanpeng, the Chief Eunuch, at your service, Mr. Su. I've intruded upon your esteemed residence today under orders to take the daughter of the Assistant Minister, Miss Li Qingzhao, with me."
"This warrant serves as proof, and I ask Mr. Su not to obstruct."
Old Su discreetly cast a 'remember what I told you earlier' look at Xiaoli, then nodded slightly:
"Since the Chief Eunuch has the warrant, I have no reason to obstruct."
