Time Travel and Love

A dozen or so yamen runners entered the room, but the room was in plain sight, making it impossible to hide anyone. They'd thought they'd leave, but several of them took the scroll and compared it with the four figures of Spring, Summer Solstice, Autumn Harvest, and Winter Hidden. Seeing that the four figures weren't the ones in the portraits, they shouted at Chu Qingmeng and the others, "Take off your veils!"

The scolding tone of the few people made the three brothers frown and look at them unhappily, but since they had let the people in and were investigating a female suspect, they had no choice but to check the people.

Chu Qingmeng was helpless. Who knew they were looking for a woman? If only he had known, he wouldn't have let them in. He reached out and lifted the veil. Mu Lingxue did the same. The yamen runner compared them and realized it wasn't the female thief they were looking for.

But the captain obviously didn't think so. The moment Chu Qingmeng lifted her veil, he began to stare at her face with his eyes wide open.

"Hmph. You'd better put away your behavior. Otherwise, you won't be able to save your eyes." Mo Jiangli glanced at him, his voice sounding a little sinister. He turned sideways to block his sight and pushed the tea in front of Chu Qingmeng, "Mother, have some hot tea."

But the captain seemed not to hear, his eyes still fixed on Chu Qingmeng's face without blinking. Chu Qingmeng pinched Mo Jiangli's arm and shook his head slightly. His status was not suitable for getting involved in such a trivial matter.

"Boss, we've checked it out, it's not that female thief." The yamen runner walked back to the head yamen runner with the portrait. Seeing that he was still in a daze, he pushed him and said, "Boss! Boss!"

Seeing that he never looked away, Mo Jiangheng narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly at the captain.

This cold snort finally brought the captain back to his senses. Seeing Mo Jiangheng's unfriendly expression, he swallowed fearfully. But seeing that the clothes on the men were all ordinary silk, he guessed that they must be wealthy businessmen from the capital. Suddenly, the courage that had just retreated returned, and he slapped the head of the yamen runner next to him, "Who said she wasn't?! I think she is the female thief! Come here! Arrest her for me!"

"..."

Feiying and his men, no longer hiding, surrounded them. Chu Qingmeng looked at the captain as if he were an idiot. Is he okay? Is he mentally ill? Being lustful isn't the right thing to do, is it? With so many people around him, is he still planning to just snatch someone away?

His action made the three brothers laugh; they had never seen anyone so foolish. Mo Jiangheng looked at the head constable in front of him, the coldness in his voice hard to ignore, "Who gave you the courage to handle a case like this?"

Mo Jiangli didn't even bother to look at the yamen runner. He just raised his hand to lower the white veil on Chu Qingmeng's hat. "Mother and aunt, just enjoy the scenery. Don't worry about anything else."

Jiang Zhan also put down the white veil for Mu Lingxue and pushed the cakes between the two of them. "Mother and Third Aunt, please have some cakes."

"Hmph! What? You still dare to question the government's handling of the case?! How dare a mere merchant take on us?!" The captain seemed to truly believe they were just ordinary merchants. Since ancient times, ordinary people have never fought against officials, especially since merchants were of low status, even lower than ordinary people.

"Hmph, it seems Li Weiping's men are all good-for-nothings like you. In that case," Mo Jiangheng said calmly, taking a sip from his tea bowl, "let's tie them all up and send them back to Shengjing Prefecture."

Feiying and his men didn't need to take action. The secret guards around Mo Jiangheng simply tied up several people, gagged them, and took them away.

Chu Qingmeng was speechless and laughed out loud, "How did someone so clueless become the head constable? The position of Shengjing prefect is not an easy one to sit on. Logically, his subordinates should also be very good at dealing with people."

"That's right. I've learned a lot from seeing you being this stupid." Mu Lingxue snorted coldly.

"Grandmother, Second Aunt, there's no need to be angry about these bastards." Mo Jiangheng tried to comfort them. "The prefect of Shengjing will deal with them himself."

Mo Jiangli and Mo Jiangzhan also offered some words of advice, and the matter was put to rest. However, the Shengjing Prefecture was in an uproar. The Shengjing Prefecture Governor stood before the official desk, wiping his sweat repeatedly, his hands shaking uncontrollably. This tactless brother-in-law really dared to offend anyone!

After respectfully sending Mo Jiangheng's men away, Li Weiping kicked the captain, "You son of a bitch! How many times have I told you! Beijing is not like the countryside! The nobles on the streets are not to be offended easily! Not to be offended easily! Can't you hear me?"

"Brother-in-law! Isn't he just a wealthy businessman? Why are you like this?" The captain of the police also felt aggrieved.

"Bullshit! If only it were that simple!" Li Weiping kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, wishing he could kill his brother-in-law for causing such a huge mess right after arriving. When the captain learned the identities of the two men, he was so frightened that he fainted. Li Weiping didn't dare to fool around anymore and had him taken into custody.

The two people who came out of the private room were ready to take a walk. They hadn't been out for a long time, so it was nice to go out occasionally. There was a small market two streets away, selling some small things. After getting off the carriage, the three young people consciously blocked the two people in front of them. There were too many people in the market, and it was easy to bump into them.

After taking a casual walk and preparing to go home, I heard a quarrel in front of me.
