As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

The sound of the teacup breaking was particularly harsh in the noisy garden, like a thunderclap, instantly freezing the laughter.

Jiang Yue stood up suddenly, her face showing undisguised shock. She didn't understand where this sudden change came from.

"Murdering an imperial official? Where is the evidence?" She questioned word by word, her voice as cold as ice, her eyes flashing with danger.

Captain Wang sneered, pulled out a letter from his pocket, and read aloud, "Jiang Yue, you and your accomplices conspired to murder Magistrate Li. The evidence is irrefutable. Now that you've been caught red-handed, why don't you surrender?"

"Caught the person red-handed? That's absolute nonsense!" Jiang Yue laughed in anger. She looked around and saw that those people who had been chatting and laughing with her were now retreating as if they were avoiding the plague, with fear and suspicion in their eyes.

Seeing this, Ding Chen immediately stood in front of Jiang Yue and said righteously, "Captain Wang, there must be some misunderstanding. Miss Jiang would never do such a thing!"

"Mr. Ding, this matter has nothing to do with you. Please don't interfere with official duties!" Captain Wang waved his hand, and the constables behind him rushed forward and forcibly pulled Ding Chen away.

In the chaos, Ding Chen's arm was hit hard by a constable. He groaned and his face turned pale in an instant.

Jiang Yue looked at Ding Chen's injured appearance, her heart filled with guilt and helplessness. She regretted that she did not listen to everyone's advice and underestimated the enemy, so that she fell into someone else's trap.

"Ding Chen, are you okay?" Jiang Yue asked anxiously. He wanted to go forward to check his injuries, but was stopped by two constables.

"Miss Jiang, you'd better take care of yourself first!" Captain Wang said with a sneer, "Take him away!"

Two constables roughly grabbed Jiang Yue's arms and dragged her out the door. Jiang Yue struggled and roared, "Why are you arresting me? I want to see Censor Lin!"

However, her voice was quickly drowned out by the noise of the crowd.

At this moment, a stern voice rang out from the crowd: "Stop!" Xuanyuan Che pushed through the crowd and strode over. He stared at Captain Wang with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice: "Captain Wang, what do you mean by this?"

Captain Wang was clearly a little wary of Xuanyuan Che's identity, so his tone softened slightly, but he still said firmly, "Commander Xuanyuan, Jiang Yue is suspected of murdering an imperial official. I have been ordered to arrest him. Please don't stop me!"

Xuanyuan Che raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext! This commander will never let you take her away so rashly!" After that, he flashed and pounced on Captain Wang like a cheetah, trying to take Jiang Yue back.

Captain Wang was prepared. At his command, all the detectives rushed forward and surrounded Xuanyuan Che.

Swords flashed, fists and feet clashed. Although Xuanyuan Che was a martial arts master, he could not beat four hands with two fists and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

He was struggling left and right, and his body was covered with scars. His clothes were torn, revealing his strong chest.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Che was outnumbered, Qiu'er became extremely anxious.

She suddenly remembered Jiang Yue's miraculous medical skills, and a light bulb went off in her head. She shouted, "My dear officers, my young lady is a miraculous doctor! She can cure illnesses and save lives. Please let her go!"

There was a commotion in the crowd.

The people all remembered the rumors about Jiang Yue's miraculous healing power. They were originally afraid of the government, but now they bravely pleaded for Jiang Yue.

"Yes, Miss Jiang is a miracle doctor. She saved my mother's life!" "Miss Jiang is kind-hearted and capable of medical treatment. She would never do such a thing!" The voices of pleading rose one after another, merging into a powerful wave of voices.

Captain Wang's face was gloomy. He didn't expect things to develop to this point.

He was wary of Xuanyuan Che's identity and was even more worried about provoking civil unrest, so he was caught in a dilemma.

Just as he was hesitating, Jiang Yue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. Her voice was icy cold, like a judgment from hell: "Master Zhao, Mr. Liu, your good days are over."

The crowd instantly quieted down, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Jiang Yue's next words.

Jiang Yue's eyes swept over Master Zhao and Mr. Liu, a cold smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he said word by word: "I, Jiang Yue, will never let you go even if I am imprisoned!"

As soon as Jiang Yue finished speaking, Captain Wang interrupted her rudely: "You bold and unruly commoner! How dare you slander an official appointed by the court! Come, take her away!" The detectives pounced on Jiang Yue like wolves and tigers, tied her up, and pushed her to the county government office.

Ding Chen wanted to step forward to stop them, but was stopped by several constables.

He watched Jiang Yue being taken away, feeling extremely anxious but powerless to do anything.

In the teahouse in the distance, a mysterious old man had a panoramic view of all this.

He stood up suddenly, and the purple clay teapot in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The tea splashed everywhere, just like his surging emotions at the moment.

He pursed his lips tightly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"Saddle the horses!" His deep voice carried unquestionable authority.

On the way to being escorted, Jiang Yue's mind kept flashing back to the torture he suffered in prison in his previous life.

The dark and damp cell, the rotten and moldy straw, the disgusting sour rice, and the jailers' unscrupulous bullying... Fear surged into her heart like a tide, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

No, she absolutely could not go back to that hell!

She bit her lower lip tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, using the pain to stay awake.

The county jail was cold and damp, and the air was filled with a suffocating smell of mold.

Jiang Yue was pushed in roughly and fell heavily to the ground.

There were several ragged prisoners in the cell. They had dull eyes and numb expressions, like the walking dead.

When they saw Jiang Yue come in, they just glanced at her indifferently and turned their heads away.

"Miss..." Qiu'er cried and wanted to rush in, but was ruthlessly stopped outside the door by the yamen runners.

"Miss, you must hold on!" Her heart-wrenching cries echoed in the empty county government office, but could not reach Jiang Yue's ears.

Jiang Yue slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and glanced coldly at everyone in the cell.

She didn't cry or beg for mercy. Instead, she raised her chin and loudly questioned Captain Wang: "Captain Wang, as an official appointed by the imperial court, you don't stand up for the people. Instead, you allow the evildoers to instigate and frame innocent people. Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"

Captain Wang was shocked by Jiang Yue's aura and was speechless for a moment.

He didn't expect that Jiang Yue, who was imprisoned, could still be so calm and even dared to question him face to face.

He was furious and was about to open his mouth to scold, but he heard a cold voice coming from outside the cell... "How dare you!"

The flesh on Captain Wang's face trembled, and he was about to explode when he was interrupted by a cold voice: "How dare you!" Xuanyuan Che, dressed in a Feiyu suit, strode in, followed by a team of well-trained imperial guards, instantly shocking everyone in the yamen.

He glanced coldly at the cowering Captain Wang, and his eyes fell on Jiang Yue with a hint of barely perceptible worry.

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Liu's expressions suddenly changed, and they thought to themselves that something was wrong.

How come the commander of the Royal Guards appears here?

They exchanged a horrified look; it seemed that there was a huge flaw in the plan.

Jiang Yue curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer. It seemed that the good show had just begun.

In the chaos, the crowd was in an uproar, and an old man walked out slowly, with white hair and a youthful face, and an immortal-like appearance.

"Wait a minute," the old man's voice was like a loud bell, making everyone's eardrums buzz. "I am Doctor Zhang, the imperial physician in the palace. I passed by here and heard that someone was poisoning people, so I came to take a look." His sharp eyes swept over Jiang Yue, then fell on Liu Fushang, and finally stopped at the so-called "evidence" in the hands of Captain Wang, "Can you let me check it?" Captain Wang's forehead was covered with cold sweat. This sudden change caught him off guard, and he subconsciously looked at Master Zhao.

Master Zhao's face turned ashen, his eyes sinister, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Doctor Zhang, this..."
