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

After reading the letter, Censor Lin's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

"Miss Jiang, County Magistrate Li has written to say that you are suspected of... plotting to murder an imperial official. Now that we have witnesses and evidence, I have no choice but to take you into custody!"

"Holy crap! What kind of a development is this?" Jiang Yue couldn't help but complain internally, but remained expressionless as he sneered, "When you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext! County Magistrate Li's moves are truly amazing!"

When Ding Chen heard this, he immediately became anxious.

He stood in front of Jiang Yue and said righteously, "Master Lin, there must be a misunderstanding! Miss Jiang is kind-hearted and has great medical skills. How could she do such a thing? Please investigate!"

County Magistrate Li snorted coldly, with full authority: "You bold and unruly commoner! How dare you question me? Come, arrest Jiang Yue!" Several yamen runners immediately stepped forward and were about to arrest Jiang Yue.

Ding Chen tried his best to stop them, but he seemed outnumbered when fighting against several people alone.

Jiang Yue felt mixed emotions as she watched Ding Chen argue for her.

This silly boy is such a stubborn and hot-blooded young man!

A trace of helplessness and self-blame flashed in her eyes. It was all because of her that she had implicated him.

"Ding Chen, don't waste your energy..." She sighed softly, her tone full of bitterness.

Suddenly, Jiang Yue's eyes flashed, a plan came to his mind, and a cunning arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Wait!" she cried. "I want to see what this so-called 'witness evidence' is!"

Qiu Er was extremely anxious when she saw this. While no one was paying attention, she quietly slipped out!

The yamen runners rushed towards Jiang Yue like hungry wolves, and were about to capture her.

Although Ding Chen fought desperately, he was outnumbered and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

Jiang Yue sighed inwardly, this ancient government office was truly incredibly efficient!

Qiu'er's figure moved flexibly among the crowd, as slippery as a loach.

She knew very well that the situation was urgent and she had to find Censor Lin as soon as possible, otherwise the young lady would be in danger!

However, while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Strategist Sun, who had been hiding in the dark, had long noticed Qiu'er's actions.

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered, "Little girl, do you think you can escape from my palm?" He waved his hand, and two men in black flashed out like ghosts, chasing Qiu'er closely.

Qiu'er ran wildly, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.

She looked back and found that the two men in black were chasing her relentlessly, and her heart sank.

"It's over, Barbie Q!" She cried out inwardly and walked a little faster.

Just when Qiu'er was about to be caught up, a mighty team appeared on the street.

The leading man was wearing silver armor, had a handsome face and an imposing bearing. He was none other than the general of the current dynasty—Xuanyuan Che.

Seeing Qiu'er being chased, he frowned slightly and shouted sternly, "Stop! How dare you be so arrogant in broad daylight! Who are you?"

When the man in black saw Xuanyuan Che, he was frightened out of his wits.

They didn't expect to meet here and were at a loss for a moment.

The Royal Guards brought by Xuanyuan Che quickly surrounded the men in black, and the situation reversed in an instant.

When Qiu'er saw Xuanyuan Che, she felt like she saw a savior and quickly ran behind him to hide.

"Commander Xuanyuan, help me! I'm a servant in the Jiang Mansion, and someone wants to arrest me..."

After listening to Qiu'er's explanation, Xuanyuan Che turned his gaze to the two men in black with a cold look.

"Tell me! Who sent you?"

The man in black hesitated and didn't dare to tell the truth.

Xuanyuan Che snorted coldly, "You won't tell me? Then don't blame me for being rude!" Before he finished speaking, the Royal Guards stepped forward and took the man in black down.

Qiu'er looked at Xuanyuan Che gratefully, "Thank you, Commander, for saving my life!"

Xuanyuan Che nodded slightly and looked towards the direction of Jiang Mansion with deep eyes.

"Jiang Yue!" he murmured softly, "It seems that things are more complicated than I thought..." He turned to Qiu'er and said, "Lead the way, I'll go take a look."

Qiu'er was overjoyed and hurried to Jiang Mansion with Xuanyuan Che and his party.

At this moment, in front of the Jiang Mansion, the yamen runners were about to break in.

Ding Chen single-handedly fought against thousands of enemies, but he was already at the end of his strength.

Jiang Yue stood inside the door, watching all this with cold eyes.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer, and a glimmer of hope arose in her heart.

"Could it be..." She murmured to herself, a meaningful smile on her lips.

"This is really... the show is about to begin." The arrival of Xuanyuan Che, the commander of the Imperial Guards, was like a god descending from heaven, instantly freezing the tense atmosphere in front of the Jiang Mansion.

The yamen runners looked at each other in confusion, and the water and fire sticks in their hands seemed to have become hot potatoes, and they didn't know what to do.

Ding Chen breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought to himself: Fortunately, fortunately, someone who can take charge has finally arrived!

Jiang Yue had a hint of smile on her lips. She walked slowly to the door and bowed to Xuanyuan Che: "I am Jiang Yue, a humble girl, and I am honored to meet Commander Xuanyuan." She looked so calm, as if the tension just now was just a joke.

Xuanyuan Che dismounted, gave Jiang Yue a light support, and said in a gentle tone: "Miss Jiang, there is no need to be so polite. I heard that there was some dispute here, so I came to check it out." He swept his eyes over everyone present, and finally fell on Master Zhao, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Master Zhao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he quickly stepped forward to explain: "Commander Xuanyuan, this Jiang Yuemu is lawless and has gathered a group of people to cause trouble..."

"Lawlessness? Gathering a crowd to cause trouble?" Jiang Yue chuckled and interrupted Master Zhao. "Master Zhao, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I'm a good citizen. When have I ever caused trouble? It's some people who, relying on their little power, oppress the people and bully the people. This is the real lawlessness!"

Jiang Yue's words were powerful and the people around him nodded in agreement.

Master Zhao's face turned pale and blue, but he didn't dare to say anything else.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Che had a general understanding of the ins and outs of the matter.

Although he wanted to help Jiang Yue, due to his status, he could not directly interfere in local affairs.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Jiang, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you justice. But for now, you should cooperate with the investigation to prevent the situation from escalating."

Jiang Yue sighed inwardly. Sure enough, these ancient rules were troublesome.

But her expression remained calm, and she smiled faintly: "Since Commander Xuanyuan says so, I will obey."

Xuanyuan Che comforted Ding Chen a few more words and then left with the Royal Guards.

With Xuanyuan Che's departure, the yamen runners became arrogant again.

Master Zhao glanced at Jiang Yue gloomily and sneered, "Jiang Yue, do you think you can rest easy just by climbing up the tree of Commander Xuanyuan? Dream on!"

Jiang Yue glanced at him contemptuously and said nothing.

She knew that the battle had just begun.

Qiu'er pulled Jiang Yue's sleeve worriedly and whispered, "Miss..."

Jiang Yue patted her hands and gave her a soothing look.

Rich businessman Liu rubbed his hands and said to Master Zhao in a flattering manner, "Master, this time it's all thanks to Advisor Sun, otherwise..."

Master Zhao swept his sinister gaze over the crowd, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth. "Hmph, this is just the beginning! The best is yet to come!" He turned to a thin man with a cold look beside him, "Advisor Sun, the rest is up to you."

Advisor Sun bowed slightly, his tone cold, "Master, don't worry, everything has been arranged."

Jiang Yue and Ding Chen were taken away, leaving the onlookers to discuss the matter.

Qiu'er stood there, looking in the direction they left, feeling extremely anxious.

Suddenly, she saw Advisor Sun whispering a few words to County Magistrate Li, and County Magistrate Li's face turned pale instantly.

Qiu'er's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came over her... She turned and ran, shouting as she ran: "Miss! It's bad! They..."
