The Moon In Darkness
Ch.55 The wrong guy

Arriving at home, An opened the front door firmly and saw that the living room was empty, he then opened the fox mask and hood of his robe, "apparently true yes, he did, the aura I felt when I wanted to leave was her." An murmured softly.

The girl stretched her body and ruffled her hair violently, letting her long hair unravel beautifully. He clucked and then sighed, "hey. I want to sleep now, if there's anything you want to talk about, wait until tomorrow" he said without seeing if there was anyone there.

An closed the door rudely and went to rest, before long someone came to the front door of the pavilion, he used a tattered robe and was still silent in front of the entrance.

The man muttered, "that man. Was I saved by him?"

Then he chuckled and unfolded the hood of his robe, seen under the dim moonlight, a handsome man who had sharp eyes in pitch black, as well as long hair tied in shining black.

"it seems like a bad bedtime for a noble lady" said the man still staring at the pavilion door.

In a time when the capital was in a panic, the emperor's palace was also shocked because of the intruders who entered the emperor Qi's room.

"Your majesty! are you all right?! Your majesty!" shouted the right hand of the emperor-Shang Ma, the thin-bodied, bespectacled man ran to the emperor's room until he could not catch his breath, he said, upon arrival at the door he directly smashed through the door with his body and saw that emperor Qi was reading some blood-stained documents in his hands.

"don't be noisy Shang.set your breath first." said the emperor quietly without looking at the man, he then walked up to the sofa and continued his reading there.

After finishing his breath, Shang approached and was immediately surprised to see the list of names of famous nobles who were included in the list of customers and loyal colleagues from the human sales place.

"the. their majesty.." hesitantly hesitated Shang spoke, of course because he knew that the emperor he was serving was trying to cover up his anger on those nobles.

"The crown prince has already arrived there?" ask the emperor suddenly.

"yes! he has helped put out the fire on the black market and evacuated the people around" Shang Ma said, standing firm.

"is the market area okay? is there a fire coming out of that black market area?"

"no noble, all there is is is a fire, the heat is also a large chunk of crystal containing black fire inside." continued Shang while glancing at his master.

I don't know why..The technique appeared to coincide with the fire, seeing if that person was targeting the nobles, was he a messenger from someone? but who, the one who possesses the forbidden technique?' Shang thought of everything, there was nothing he missed. Events that had not happened long ago were still in his mind.

"is this person the same as the person who left the crystal in that empty field? is that a warning of this?" the guy with glasses was serious.

"stop, your brain will explode if you keep thinking about it, what about the businessmen and nobles who were at the scene?" ask the emperor again.

"they have been secured and returned to the residence of each of His Majesty, but.." Shang hung up his sentence on seeing the name of one of his colleagues, she was Baoyu Wu, the first child of the Wu family leader, one of the current pillars, as well as the mother of the young Imperial general.

I didn't expect that a member of the Imperial pillar family would be involved in this matter.' Shang massaged his forehead slowly and took out some documents that were still on the floor.

"Your Majesty, may I know.. Where did you get all these documents from?" the man asked hesitantly, the emperor could only shut up and point towards his window, the window opened, Shang rushed there and looked down, looking down, he who only capitalized brain without power felt nauseous as a result of seeing a corpse with a face that is no longer in shape.

how could he hurt his own face to be unrecognizable? that's a crazy thing!' inner Shang who still doesn't believe.

The skinny man sat limp on the floor and managed to catch his breath, but he quickly got back to his feet and closed the window slowly, "do you know who he is?"

"no, what is clear is that whoever did it, he seemed to say that there was no need to find out more and just accept the reward" the Qi emperor casually said.

"well. let's just take it, you take care of everyone in this document, tell them that the Empire doesn't need a man who doesn't have a heart" the Emperor said cynically, after taking care of the matter, he returned to his bed and laid down his body.

The night turned morning, everyone who had just woken up was startled by the Imperial soldiers who were going around and capturing directly all the low-level businessmen and nobles. The soldiers captured all of them with only the capital of the Imperial warrant that had been signed by the Emperor.

Many responses from the arrest, there are people who are self-conscious and resigned, people who can still defend themselves but end up losing, people who want to give more profit in order to be free, he said, also the one who had known about this was then trying to escape from the Empire. However, whatever they do, they can all be caught easily.

To the high-ranking nobles, the emperor's own colleagues went straight to them, including Shang Ma who was going to visit one of the Empire's pillar families, the Wu Family.

Some people who knew if one of the members of the pillar family was arrested finally spread the news, gradually their residence became very crowded, he said, there are so many journalists and traders who want to see for themselves with their eyes.

Not only outside, inside the residence was very boisterous, the main pavilion that was used as a grandmother's residence as well as a meeting place for guests was invaded by all the servants who were there. Although few, they really hope to be able to eavesdrop on the conversations of the families that occur inside.

basic, talk hard! why do all the family members here have to attend?! you useless emperor, catch ya catch! why use a stale base anyway?' oceh An stared intently at the right hand of the emperor who was speaking to the grandmother in front of them, he then glanced at the dead first aunt said, her mouth silenced by a thousand languages and trembling violently.

ah. The fourth Miss' gaze was sharp indeed.' Inner Shang resignedly and continued the discussion to capture the family's first daughter.

An who should be happy to see the scene somehow feels something is stuck, why am I not happy? didn't I catch him?'

Inadvertently, An collided with the fourth aunt, the woman then smiled and nodded her head, at once the girl wearing all-green clothes was creeped out, fortunately the clothes that An was wearing back then could cover his extremely trembling hands.

"so. I feel very guilty saying this, but with the warrant given by His Majesty, I am forced to arrest your first child, he said, Baoyu Wu for participating in the development of an illegal organization that has traded humans." Shang explained firmly, he then stood up and motioned his men to catch the first aunt standing behind the family leader.

They held her and handcuffed the woman's hand, Baoyu yelled incessantly, the servants who heard from outside also hinted that their first Madam had lost her mind.

"ti-no! it shouldn't be like this! mother-" cried Baoyu hanging her sentence as a slap landed on her cheek that was no longer young.

Face full of makeup that used to be massaged and pampered it immediately turned slowly to red until finally bruised, the pain came to him like the wind, the woman continued to hold her cheek and looked at her mother with a feeling of disbelief.

"you've embarrassed us, I hope you can introspect yourself in that cell of yours." the grandmother said with a disappointed face, he even had to walk with a cane to be able to take the first child he was always proud of.

Baoyu only fell silent, he then turned to look at his son as if asking for justice, but all he got was a blank look, which did not even show sympathy for him.

"let's go, Lady Baoyu Wu." said one of the soldiers holding her hand.

"no.. this is not how it should be.." muttered the woman and raised her head again, now she immediately looked for someone and shouted very upset, "You said it would not be like this?! how can you take your hands off me damn it!!"

The woman continued to shout until she got into the carriage to go to the palace, everyone who saw the departure of the first Lady of the Wu family was rejoicing and very happy, everyone who saw the departure of the first Madam of the Wu family was excited and very happy, because one of the family dogs has gone to a place he could never get himself back out.

They are also looking forward, the competition that the Empire will hold for all the pillars that have long supported it, it is fun to guess who will go down and up in this competition.

Everyone in Wu's residence slowly left, because they did not need to be there, at that time there lived Qiongli, Jiazhen, Chyou, and An who was still standing in front of the gate that had been closed.

"it's all karma because you've brought that disaster!" exclaiming Qiongli while staring intently at An who was still pensive.

"hey! keep talking now, li, has your brain turned into a muscle completely so that it can no longer read the situation?" cibir Jiazhen dragged her younger brother away.

"Lian? now that I also have to take care of something, will I take you to the front of your pavilion?" ask Chyou suddenly.

An returned from his subconscious and looked at Chyou with a very pityful gaze, he then approached and slowly hugged the man, "you must be strong Youyo! I know aunt is innocent! he'll get out of there, for sure!" said An encouragingly.

Chyou heard all of An's words one by one, his eyes quivering yet covered as he instantly hid his face behind An's petite shoulders, "yes definitely."

After saying those two words, Chyou went straight to the market area to make an observation, An asked him to go straight there to let the man win his mind.

Now only An was left, on the way back to the pavilion, with a calm face he passed by a few passersby, his hair standing perfectly and his heart racing, "why is that woman...yelling while staring intently at fourth aunt?" muttered An who currently had a bad premonition.
