"County Master, what should we do next?"
Qiann Yan put down the letters, gathering them into a pile: "Of course, we capture him. I'll go expose him at dawn."
Qiann Yan took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Ashui: "Go and make everyone else in the mansion unconscious. Don't let anyone know about this."
Given Cheng Jiren's actions, it wouldn't implicate the others in the mansion, but Mrs. Cheng couldn't escape blame. There's no way she didn't know about this. Anyone could not know, except her.
Ashui obediently went to carry out the task.
Soon, he returned. Besides Cheng Jiren and Mrs. Cheng, everyone in the mansion, including the chickens, ducks, livestock, and even the two pigs, had already been knocked out.
"Good." Qiann Yan stood up, "Stay here and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Ashui felt worried and wanted to follow, but Qiann Yan insisted that this matter was of utmost importance, so he had to stay behind.
