Knife Back in The Scabbard Chapter 149

When Prefect Zheng woke up, the mansion was in chaos.

The side of his neck was also sore, and there was a rush of foul air in his chest and abdomen. The swollen and painful temples involved the pain in his brain, which seemed to be splitting apart. It felt like an uncomfortable reaction after the sudden surge of alcohol. Zheng Taishou rubbed his forehead and heard the commotion outside. His face became even darker: "What's going on outside? Someone come in!"

"Master!" Huang ran back crying, holding the hem of her skirt, followed by a group of guards and servants. "Just now I was taking off my hairpins in the room, but I was knocked unconscious by a thief. When I woke up, I saw him acting sneaky. I was afraid that he would harm you, so I quickly shouted to scare him away. Are you okay?"

Governor Zheng was a little impatient at first, but he suddenly woke up after hearing these words. He first recalled the thrilling conversation with "Lucas Chu", and then he subconsciously reached into his arms, but the thing that was originally placed close to his body disappeared.

Cold sweat immediately soaked the back of Zheng Taishou's clothes.
