14: Chapter 14 The Commander Granted Me Half a Day of Leisure? I Turned Around and Seized the Rebels' Goods!

Before long, Gu Han had harvested all the remnants of fate from this group of people.

"It's a good thing I had Captain Zhang's Medicinal Pill; otherwise, synthesizing this many life origin crystals would have at least skinned me alive if it didn't kill me outright."

"But the harvest is certainly plentiful."

Gu Han was extremely happy and satisfied.

Just moments ago, while interrogating the last rebel prisoner, he had unexpectedly learned that the three of them had buried quite a lot of silver in a dilapidated courtyard in the west of the capital.

That was the very same place where Gu Han had killed Lai Three and his group.

After arriving in the capital, they had secretly robbed many wealthy merchants without reporting it.

Furthermore, the interrogation revealed that their chaos in the capital this time was under the orders of the Blood God Cult's higher-ups.

This news shocked Gu Han.

He felt that the capital was likely about to fall into chaos.

Immediately, without looking back, he went to find Captain Zhang to report this matter.

At this moment, Captain Zhang was reporting to the Zhenwu Guard Commander—Commander Sun.

Just then, a Zhenwu Guard came in to report.

"Reporting to the Commander and Captain, there is a reserve named Gu Han here to see Captain Zhang."

"He says he has important intelligence to report."

Upon hearing this, Captain Zhang hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.

"Commander, I suspect that kid has interrogated something else out of them."

"Commander, may I have him come in now?"

Hearing this, Commander Sun's previously furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"Go and bring him in."

"I am also very curious, what kind of person is he to have such methods?"

The reporting Zhenwu Guard acknowledged and exited the room.

After a while, he led Gu Han to the front of the room.

After knocking a few times and receiving permission, he pushed open the door.

When Captain Zhang saw Gu Han outside the door, he strode over.

"Kid Gu, come with me to pay respects to the Commander."

Commander Sun sat behind a sandalwood desk; he was an elegant-looking middle-aged man, not particularly handsome.

At least in Gu Han's mind, he certainly wasn't as handsome as himself.

Gu Han also gave Commander Sun a few looks.

"He looks just like a schoolteacher, yet he's actually a violent boss."

"This subordinate Gu Han pays respects to the Commander!"

Gu Han bowed and cupped his hands in salute, his peripheral vision catching the map of the capital's defenses spread out on the desk, where the location of Vermilion Bird Street had been marked with a conspicuous red X.

Commander Sun also sized up Gu Han, then looked at him with a faint smile.

"Where did that cold-faced Yama go just now?"

"Why have you become so timid now that you're with me?"

Hearing this, Gu Han roughly understood that killing so many people this time probably wouldn't be an issue.

"This subordinate dug out a clue regarding the Blood God Cult from the last prisoner."

He paused intentionally.

Before Gu Han could continue, Commander Sun stood up straight away and strode in front of Gu Han.

"Is what you said true?"

Commander Sun's voice changed, becoming very anxious.

Captain Zhang, who was standing to the side, also had his expression change.

Gu Han dared not delay and spilled all the information.

"Commander, This subordinate is absolutely certain."

"According to the rebel thieves, they were under orders from the Blood God Cult to infiltrate the capital and then stir up chaos to attract everyone's attention."

"The subsequent actions will be carried out by the Blood God Cult."

Obviously, Gu Han did not mention the Treasure Trove; he kept it hidden.

After Gu Han finished saying this, Commander Sun and Captain Zhang's brows tightened, and their expressions changed drastically.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became oppressive.

A moment later, Commander Sun dismissed Gu Han.

"Kid, I see you are quite tired."

"Today, this Commander will grant you half a day of rest; go back and take a break."

Hearing this, Gu Han was overjoyed.

However, he did not show it, but instead followed Commander Sun's lead.

"Thank you, Commander!"

Immediately, he left the room and closed the door.

At this moment, everything in the room had nothing to do with Gu Han.

"Whatever Blood God Cult, whatever rebels, get lost."

"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."

"This Young Master is going to retrieve the Treasure Trove."

"Goodbye, Jail."

Gu Han curled his lips into a smile, took large strides, and quickly left the Jail.

Once he returned home, Gu Han briskly changed out of his official uniform, put on a suitable set of clothes, and left his house again.

Meanwhile, Xu Hua, who had been injured by Gu Han, was at Zhang Tian's house, crying and complaining to him.

"Cousin, you must stand up for me!"

"A lowly, despicable Jailer dares to ride on our heads."

"And he treated me like this; he doesn't put you in his eyes at all, nor does he respect Lord Ma."

"In the entire Jail and Zhenwu Guard, who doesn't know that I am your cousin?"

Zhang Tian, standing to the side, watched Xu Hua like this, his irritation growing even more.

Last night, he had failed to obtain Gu Han's head on time to mourn Li Yi.

Li Yi's sister, Li Linger, had started crying constantly in front of Ma Yong, accusing him of incompetence.

This led to him being reprimanded by Ma Yong early in the morning.

"Who is that person?"

Zhang Tian asked with an impatient tone.

"Cousin, I have already found out clearly."

"That lowly, despicable Jailer is named Gu Han; a few months ago, he just inherited his wrongfully dead father's position as a Jailer."

"Furthermore, his biggest backer in the Jail is the Jailer head Zhao De."

"His ancestors for several generations were all Jailers; he doesn't know any big shots, nor does he have any in-laws."

Just as Xu Hua was rattling on, Zhang Tian heard the words "Gu Han" and couldn't help but interrupt quickly.

"Who did you say?"

"Gu Han?"

Seeing Zhang Tian's surprised expression, Xu Hua said with a puzzled look.

"Cousin, the Jailer I'm talking about is Gu Han."

Zhang Tian smashed the teacup in his hand, not even noticing the porcelain shards piercing his palm.

"A fine Gu Han..."

His voice was terrifyingly hoarse and low; he wished he could swallow Gu Han alive.

"He killed Li Yi and injured my cousin."

"He caused me to be reprimanded by Ma's people."

Xu Hua was scared back half a step by his cousin's ferocious expression.

"Cou... Cousin, don't scare me."

"Is this despicable Jailer that hateful?"

"You don't need to worry about this matter; tonight, he will have his head removed by someone."

Zhang Tian waved his hand to interrupt Xu Hua.

Xu Hua seemed to have remembered something and spoke again.

"Cousin, that lowly, despicable person has already become a reserve Zhenwu Guard."

"And it seems he also knows Captain Zhang Qi."

Zhang Tian violently overturned the tea table, shattering the tea set all over the floor.

Veins popped out on his face, and the killing intent in his eyes almost solidified.

"A reserve Zhenwu Guard?"

He grabbed Xu Hua by the collar.

"Why the hell didn't you say so earlier!"

"Next time you speak, can you get to the point?"

Xu Hua was choked until his face turned blue, stuttering.

"I... I just remembered it too..."

Zhang Tian let go and paced back and forth in the room.

A moment later, he said to Xu Hua.

"This matter is no longer something you or I can solve."

"I will go report to Lord Ma first."

"I'll have Lord Ma take action."

"Cousin, that kid just left the Jail..."

"I also heard that he seems to have performed a meritorious deed and received an award from Commander Sun, allowing him half a day of rest."

Zhang Tian suddenly stopped, a flash of rage in his eyes.

"What else haven't you said?"

"Tell me everything right now."

Seeing Zhang Tian's furious appearance, Xu Hua was scared into a quail.

"Cou... Cousin, there is nothing else."

Hearing this, Zhang Tian couldn't help but roar in anger.

"Useless, can't accomplish anything."

"If you weren't my cousin, I would definitely beat you up today."

Immediately, he walked towards the door.

After Zhang Tian walked away, Xu Hua muttered to himself.

"I'm going to tell my aunt."
