250 Sober
His strong arms supported Yue Jiaojiao’s body as he carefully held her in his arms. He then brought the cup of water to her lips and steadily fed her the water.
Yue Jiaojiao only took two sips before she shook her head and didn’t want to drink anymore. Her voice was soft and coy as she said, “Zhao Zhan, the water is so cold. It’s so cold that my teeth are hurting.”
“I’ll boil some water for you when we get home. Next time, I’ll find a way to keep the water warm so that it won’t cool down so quickly.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s whole body ached. She was injured from that night’s event and even choked on smoke. She was feeling very tired. She lay in Zhao Zhan’s arms and asked softly, “How is Xiangjun? It was fortunate that she was there with me yesterday.”
“They left in another carriage. She had a high fever last night, and Tianliu went to find a doctor. When they left, she was already much more energetic.”
“It’s good that she’s fine. We were the ones who dragged her into this matter.” Yue Jiaojiao frowned and looked up at Zhao Zhan.
“Where did you go last night? When I was half awake, I didn’t feel you by my side.
“Also, that man’s surname was Shang. Did you find out his identity?”
Shangyu was a merchant who often traveled between the Mobei and the western regions. Zhao Zhan thought of what he had heard from the locals yesterday.
“Huai County is his hometown. Every New Year, he will stay in Huai County for a while. The house you were locked in yesterday was Shang’s private house.
“When I found you yesterday, Fang Tianliu wanted to expose Shang’s kidnapping of you in front of the officers, but I stopped him.”
Zhao Zhan’s eyes wandered for a moment before he continued.
“I heard one of the officers accidentally reveal that the newly appointed County Magistrate of Huai County in early winter had close ties with Shangyu.

“So, if we report this matter to the government, he might be protected.”

Yue Jiaojiao wanted to ask more, but she felt the carriage stop. Immediately after, the voice of the Fang family’s attendant came from outside, “Sir Zhao, Madam Zhao, we’ve arrived.”
Zhao Zhan carried Yue Jiaojiao out of the carriage.
At this time, in Huai County’s government office, County Magistrate Zheng looked at the group of six people being carried in and couldn’t help but turn his head.
“Hurry up and bring some clothes over. It’s not proper to be naked like this!”
The secretary did not dare to delay and ran out in a panic.
Shang and his servants had woken up a long time ago. To be exact, before the old man who sold baked sesame seed cakes found them and reported them to the police, he had already been woken up by the cold wind in the winter.
However, he was stuck and could not move, and was naked from head to toe. He was hung on the gatehouse as a public display!

If he had a choice, he would rather not have woken up, especially now that he was lying naked on the floor of the county office, his face being torn off, turned over, stepped on, and hit.
However, everyone knew that they had woken up. After all, after waking up, they were shivering uncontrollably from the cold, which was not a normal reaction for people who had fainted.
For the sake of Shang’s image, everyone turned a blind eye and pretended not to know who he was.
The secretary came and said loudly, “County Magistrate, the clothes you asked for have been brought here.”
Only then did Shang slowly open his eyes, and then covered his lower body with both hands and stood up awkwardly. “Thank you, County Magistrate Zheng. Please give me some time to put on clothes.”
