I married the wrong man, and I sent him and his whole family to be executed.

"Hahaha, okay, I accept you as my disciple and husband." The old man Mo Ying laughed.

After traveling in Da Chu for so many years, he heard many rumors about Chu Yuheng. Naturally, he knew that he was a good man with integrity, and he understood how good he was to Yu Wangfei, so he approved of this marriage.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while. As it was getting late, old man Mo Ying was worried that they would have a bumpy journey down the mountain, so he asked someone to clean up a room in the mountain village for the two of them to rest in first, and then sent someone to take them down the mountain after daybreak.

After dawn, Chu Yuheng took the initiative to say goodbye to Wan Pingshen and planned to set out on the journey back to Beijing with Yu Wangfei.

They had been delayed in Jiangnan for too long and needed to return to the capital as soon as possible. Chu Yuheng was also afraid that he would go back too late and Chu Fei alone would not be able to deal with Chu Aotian's attack.

Just before leaving, Wan Pingshen suddenly looked at Yu Wangfei with a worried look on his face. He seemed to have something to say to her, but the words just couldn't come out no matter what.

"What's wrong?" Yu Wangfei saw what was on his mind and asked.

"Nothing, I just want to wish the princess a smooth journey." Wan Pingshen bowed.

The old man Mo Ying, who was sitting next to him, saw what was on his mind and took the initiative to explain: "He wants you to go back to Ping County."

At this time, the old man Mo Ying had put on the human skin mask again, and Yu Wangfei and Chu Yuheng tacitly did not mention his identity to anyone.

"Really?" Yu Wangfei looked at Wan Pingshen in confusion.

If he really needed her help, she would consider whether to help even for the sake of old man Mo Ying.

After all, she and Chu Yuheng were once rescued by Wan Pingshen, and her master was also rescued by him. No matter what, Yu Wangfei would find a way to help him in order to repay his kindness.

"Oh no." Wan Pingshen sighed, "I was originally a constable in Ping County. I know that corrupt officials are rampant in Ping County, so I want to ask the princess to save the people of Ping County from the dire situation."

Hearing this, the old man Mo Ying interrupted and said, "His original wife was also killed by the magistrate of Ping County. Now that you have been named the Princess of Ping County, I think you can go to Ping County on your way back to Beijing. After all, it is your fiefdom."

Having said that, Yu Wangfei also wanted to go, but she was traveling with Chu Yuheng, so she was worried that Chu Yuheng would not agree.

So Yu Wangfei turned his attention to Chu Yuheng.

Before Chu Yuheng could speak, Lu Xiaoting interrupted and said, "We came to Jiangnan this time on the orders of His Majesty. Now that the Spring Examination case is over, we need to return to the capital as soon as possible to report to His Majesty."

"Xiaoting's words make sense." Chu Yuheng nodded thoughtfully, "Why don't you go back to the capital first and report everything that happened in Jiangnan City to His Majesty, and I and Feifei will go to Ping County to take a look."

"No." Lu Xiaoting refused immediately. She would never allow Chu Yuheng and Yu Wangfei to be alone together.

"So do you want to go to Ping County with me and Feifei?"

The implication is that whether Lu Xiaoting agrees or not, Chu Yuheng will take Yu Wangfei to Ping County.

Firstly, he noticed Yu Wangfei's desire to go, and secondly, Wan Pingshen had indeed helped them a lot, so he should seek justice for him and absolutely could not watch an innocent person die in vain.

Lu Xiaoting was speechless and stopped talking, but she had made up her mind that no matter what, she would follow Yu Wangfei closely and go wherever she went.

"In that case, let's set off immediately. The boss should go to Ping County with us." Chu Yuheng said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wan Pingshen was naturally happy.

He was naturally happy that he could avenge his wife without spending any soldiers.

Just as they were about to set off, Gu Baili and Yunhua rushed to the mountain stronghold. After seeing Chu Yuheng, they reported back, "It's bad, Your Majesty. Mo Ruyi has escaped."

Chu Yuheng was not surprised to hear this. He guessed that Mo Ruyi would escape from the county jail. After all, he was Chu Aotian's man, and Chu Aotian would never allow his people to die so easily.

I guess Mo Ruyi has been taken away by Chu Aotian at this moment, but what awaits him may be a punishment more terrible than death.

"Let Magistrate Lin do it." Chu Yuheng looked at Li Xingtang, "After His Majesty has read the evidence of the Spring Examination case, he will definitely re-examine it. Brother Li, you must work hard then."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Xingtang bowed.

Then Chu Yuheng looked at Yunhua and Gu Baili and said, "You two go back to the capital first and report everything here to His Majesty. Tell His Majesty about the assassination we encountered on the way and ask His Majesty to send someone to escort us back to the capital safely."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gu Baili accepted the order.

After explaining everything, Chu Yuheng climbed onto the horse, then took the initiative to extend his hand and invited Yu Wangfei to ride with him. Lu Xiaoting watched from the side, wishing she could pull out the dagger at her waist and stab the horse to death.

After Wan Pingshen got on the horse, he deliberately walked in front to lead the way.

After walking for about four hours, the four of them finally arrived in Ping County.

From a distance, the city gate of Ping County looked no different from the city gate of Jiangnan City. Even the soldiers and civilians were dressed roughly the same.

It’s just that every citizen here has a look of sadness on their face, while the people in the south of the Yangtze River have a look of joy on their faces.

They led the horses into the city. Yu Wangfei did not intend to hide her identity. After entering the city, she went directly to the county government office, revealed her identity to the constables, and asked the county magistrate to come out to meet her.

"Greetings, Princess. Our county magistrate is not in the county government office at the moment." A constable replied tremblingly. He raised his head and saw Wan Pingshen standing behind Yu Wangfei. He immediately lowered his head guiltily.

He was there when Wan Pingshen worked as a constable in the county government, so he knew what happened between him and the county magistrate.

"Oh?" Yu Wangfei frowned in confusion, "It's not even dinner time yet, where did he go?"

"He, he..." The constable stumbled, not knowing how to speak.

He didn't dare to offend Yu Wangfei, let alone the county magistrate. After all, Ping County was the county magistrate's world, and Yu Wangfei was just a princess. She probably came here today just because of Wan Pingshen's matter.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Yu Wangfei glared at him angrily, as if she was going to execute him in the next second if he didn't tell her.

"The county magistrate has gone to drink wine." The constable was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Okay, go find it now. I'll give him an incense stick of time to come over, otherwise his job as a county magistrate will be over!" Yu Wangfei snorted coldly and walked into the county government office.

Lu Xiaoting also wanted to go in with Yu Wangfei, but was stopped by Chu Yuheng.

"Don't go in." Chu Yuheng looked at Lu Xiaoting expressionlessly, "It's going to be dark soon, Xiaoting, why don't you go for a walk in the city and find an inn or rent a house so that we can have a place to stay."
