Chapter 705: Chapter 700: Extra 2: Everyone Loves Tang Zhaozhao (Part 2) (4,000 Words)

This time, Tang Zhaozhao calculated the flower thief’s next target herself and waited nearby for a long time.

When she heard a scream coming from the throat, she immediately appeared and captured a man.

As soon as she saw this person, Tang Zhaozhao raised her eyebrows.

This flower thief really has some nerve, picking flowers in broad daylight without even wearing a mask, no professionalism at all.

Most importantly, this flower thief is actually quite handsome.

"You, looking like this, why are you out stealing flowers? Just lie there, and a bunch of beauties will throw themselves at you."

Upon hearing this, the lady who screamed paused, opened her mouth, and hurriedly said, "No... he’s not..."

Unfortunately, the lady’s voice was too small, and Tang Zhaozhao didn’t hear it, so she took the flower thief away.

"I’m taking you to see the government."

Unexpectedly, the flower thief didn’t argue, just slightly curled his lips.

"Depends on whether you have the ability."

The two exchanged moves several times, only to find that the flower thief’s martial arts were clearly somewhat stronger than hers.

Finally, in her frustration, Tang Zhaozhao used the knockout drug, watched as the flower thief fell to the ground, and happily stuffed him into the carriage to take him to the government.

This was the countryside; if she wanted to report the flower thief, she could only cross the mountain ahead.

The journey alone took three days.

During these three days, Tang Zhaozhao fed the flower thief only one meal a day.

But this arrogant flower thief surprisingly had no complaints and didn’t claim to be hungry, making for a very worry-free criminal.

Tang Zhaozhao took the flower thief to the county government.

When they arrived at the county government, the County Magistrate began the case as usual.

Fortunately, the Great Tang had advantages, such as having many honest officials, making their trials very fair and impartial.

The County Magistrate summoned the lady immediately and even brought the flower thief caught by her family to court.

Within an hour, the case was resolved, clearing Lan Hai’s name.

Tang Zhaozhao didn’t expect that after years of being a vigilante, she would mistakenly accuse someone innocent this time.

He wasn’t stealing flowers; he was rescuing someone.

Looking at Lan Hai’s pale face, she suddenly felt guilty; she seemed to have kicked Lan Hai a few times, too.

She coughed lightly, "This medicine is good for nourishing the body; keep it. You’ll surely find it useful later."

Lan Hai was about to speak, when suddenly his body weakened, and he fainted.

Tang Zhaozhao had lived to adulthood without ever seeing such a weak man.

Even Imperial Tutor Tao Mingxuan wasn’t this weak.

Tang Zhaozhao looked at Lan Hai and then at the people around, finally resigned herself to carrying him on her back.

Her mother had said that if someone made a mistake, they must take responsibility.

Now Lan Hai was fainting from hunger, possibly from being knocked out, so she had to take responsibility for him.

Thus, Tang Zhaozhao began to care for Lan Hai.

Lan Hai woke up a day later, at which point Tang Zhaozhao was fretting over how to feed him.

Since he fainted from hunger, starving him again could be disastrous.

Seeing him awake, Tang Zhaozhao immediately handed him the food.

"Good timing, now that you’re awake, hurry and eat." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

After Lan Hai ate the food, Tang Zhaozhao finally voiced her long-held doubts.

"You’re not a flower thief, you’re a hero. Why didn’t you say it yourself?"

Lan Hai sighed, "I just didn’t expect anyone would mistake me for a flower thief; later on, there was no opportunity to speak."

Thinking about the rag she stuffed in Lan Hai’s mouth, Tang Zhaozhao felt a bit guilty.

She coughed lightly.

"Actually, I didn’t do it on purpose. It was my first time roaming the world."

Lan Hai looked at Tang Zhaozhao with a gentle gaze but spoke light-heartedly.

"What a coincidence, it’s my first time too."

Tang Zhaozhao nodded, then said, "You see, I’ve wrongly accused you for so long. Shall I leave you some Silver Taels?"

Lan Hai seemed surprised, looked at Tang Zhaozhao with a hint of hurt, and said nothing.

Tang Zhaozhao felt awkward; why did she feel like she was a monstrous villain?

She simply mistook the person.

She thought for a moment and added.

"Then what conditions do you have?"

Lan Hai said, "I have a dream, which is to carry out chivalry and justice, but I lack companions."
