Chapter 147 - 141 Taken
The three emissaries widened their eyes and struggled, raising their heads to cry out towards Zhao Hanzhang, but unfortunately their mouths were stuffed, so no matter how hard they tried, they only let out two muffled sounds.
Qiu Wu finished tying the ropes and threw all three people in front of Zhao Hanzhang, "Lady, they’re all tied up. There’s no way they can break free."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded in satisfaction.
County Magistrate Chai tremblingly clung to Chang Ning.
Zhao Hanzhang turned to look at him, seeing him hiding entirely behind Chang Ning, she gave him a gentle smile, "County Lord, don’t be afraid. Rest assured, I won’t kill them."
County Magistrate Chai forced a smile on his face, trying to please, "Third Lady is indeed formidable; as you say, it’s best for you to decide."
Chang Ning said, "Only the dead are truly safe."
Zhao Hanzhang crouched down to face the three, staring into their eyes as she answered Chang Ning, "But I’m still in mourning, so it’s not appropriate to kill. That’s why I decided to take them back to Wu Castle. If they behave, after this mess is over, I’ll let them go. It’s a chance for me, and a chance for them. If they don’t behave..."
Zhao Hanzhang reached out to pat them on the shoulder, smiled slightly, and said, "It won’t be too late to kill them then. I’ll feel better too, so you can choose to run away."
The three emissaries shuddered in unison, shaking their heads repeatedly.
