"Brother Xiao...are you serious?

Are you kidding me? The men in black are so rampant now, they dare to attack us in broad daylight, are you sure you will let me go?

And the white guard is not here, if the black-clothed man really catches up with us and keeps pestering us, what should we do???"

Lin Acai had seen Bai Jing's skills before. In her heart, she felt that he should be the best among all the people around Xiao Shizi. If he was around, she would feel more at ease. But wasn't this person just sent away by Xiao Xiaoge in front of her? So she was very uncertain now.

Seeing this, Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows, seeming a little unhappy.

"A Cai... you must have misunderstood one thing. Bai Jing is my secret guard, but his skills are far inferior to mine.

So it’s good to have him protecting you, but you don’t have to worry if he’s not around. I will definitely protect you, trust me.”

Lin Acai's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Then I believe you, but we can't bring Tang Xin with us on this trip. I don't want her to be in danger with us."

Xiao Jue also had the same idea, he nodded, "Okay, everything is up to Ah Cai."

As long as his Ah Cai has him in her heart and is willing to marry him, he is willing to do anything for him.

the other side.

Bai Jing received the order and came to the general's mansion. He selected a few capable guards to take with him and went directly to an inconspicuous farmer's home on the outskirts of the capital.

The door of the farmer's house was closed, and there was only an old woman sitting in the middle of the yard, stomping on a piece of grass in her hand with a machete.

Hearing the sudden noise at the gate of the courtyard, she looked up and saw the old woman's face full of wrinkles and a tired expression.

Bai Jing: "Officials are investigating the case. Please open the door quickly."

The old woman trudged to open the door.

She had gotten used to it. Countless officials had come in three days.

Something bad happened at home recently, and the whole family went out to deal with it, and they were very busy, leaving her alone in the yard, feeling anxious for a while.

Bai Jing led his men into the courtyard and asked directly without any prelude, "Was it your son Zhao Dahu who beat the drum to appeal for justice at the government office in the capital yesterday?"

The old woman nodded.

This question is asked almost every time the police officers come to investigate a case.

"Regarding your granddaughter's case, we need to ask again. When your granddaughter went to the market to sell medicinal herbs, the rogue she met was definitely Mr. Li, the second son of the Minister of War?"

The old woman nodded again, her eyes dull but full of indignation.

Bai Jing: "Okay, take notes. Madam, please sit down with me and tell me the details of what happened."

It turned out that this family was the same family that had previously visited Lin Acai's clinic for treatment.

They are all victims of Mr. Li Er.

Almost exactly the same.

They also have a pretty little girl in their family.

The only difference from the little girl who came to the clinic for treatment was that the little granddaughter of this family escaped from the tiger's mouth at the critical moment, while the second young master Li did not succeed.

But this family is completely different from those small merchants.

In addition to collecting herbs in the mountains outside the capital, this family has been guarding the tomb of the previous emperor for generations.

This kind of family is usually chosen by the royal family, loyal and honest for generations. Although they have no real power in the court, they would never let their daughters go out in broad daylight and suffer such a great humiliation.

Therefore, just a few hours after the incident, the old woman's son ran to the government office in Kyoto City and beat the drum to appeal for justice.

There's no need to worry about this matter.

On the contrary, we must make a fuss!

Because only in this way will the emperor of the time uphold justice for their family.

After inquiring about all the details of the day, Bai Jing brought the guards back to the prince to report.

"Master... the matter has been thoroughly investigated, and it was indeed done by the Second Young Master Li.

That boy was really too bold, thinking that she was just a powerless country girl, and that she would be strong if she could, but he never expected that he would meet a tough guy this time. The Zhao family had been guarding the spirits of the previous emperors for generations, and they were dedicated and loyal, which was well known throughout the entire capital city.

If one were to inquire carefully, no fool would dare to provoke him. However, this Second Young Master Li had been spoiled to an extreme degree by his aunt since he was a child, and it was impossible for him to investigate the matter carefully.

Master... I heard that Mr. Li fled to Lin County overnight. Should I send someone to find out his whereabouts?"

Xiao Jue suddenly curled his lips into a smile and drank a sip of herbal tea with satisfaction.

"Bai Jing... you have made great progress. Not only have you analyzed things clearly, but you have also learned to help me."

Bai Jing felt a little embarrassed by what he said.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Jue immediately went into the house, drafted a memorial and put it in his arms.

"Well then... In that case, let's get started tomorrow morning."

……

Lin Acai thought about it and decided that it was just a pastime and there was no need to take risks, so she just sat for a while beside a small pavilion nearby where a pond full of blooming lotus flowers was.

The evening breeze blew over, causing the lotus buds in the two people's hearts to bloom one after another.

Xiao Jue suddenly held Lin Acai's hand tightly and said softly, "Acai... I have asked my mother and sister to prepare our wedding. Ten days from now is the best day of the month. I will marry you into the Marquis' Mansion on that day."

"..."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Lin Acai didn't expect that the man in front of her would postpone their wedding for ten days.

Although she had promised him in person, was there any need to be so anxious?

Xiao Jue suddenly frowned and looked at the woman in front of him.

Suddenly he began to confess, "A Cai, you don't know... before, my brother-in-law, the emperor, wanted to arrange a marriage for me, but I refused, and he told me about the marriage between us.

This made him very angry at the time, but he took my sister and my father's face into consideration and could not force it on me, so he gave me a month's deadline.

If I cannot marry you within this month, the imperial decree granting marriage will fall back on me.

So Ah Cai, you must save me. Ten days is the limit and we can’t delay it any longer. We really can’t delay it any longer.”

"..."

It was so explosive.

It turned out that this man was hiding such a big thing from her.

"Okay then... I'll listen to you. Our wedding will be held in ten days."

the other side.

Qin once again came to the small courtyard where Lin Acai lived. As soon as she entered the door, she met Lin's father. She simply pulled him aside, and the two began to openly plan the marriage between Xiao Jue and Lin Acai.

Father Lin was confused at first, but when he heard Qin say that the emperor had only given him one month to marry his daughter, the emperor would issue an imperial decree to take his good son-in-law away and give him to someone else if he failed to marry his daughter within that month.

Suddenly he looked anxious, and he wished he could carry his precious daughter into the sedan chair the next day so that he could feel at ease.
