The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Light snow fell for several days in a row.

In Yilan County, some areas with few pedestrians are still covered in snow.

Therefore, the entire world appeared very bright.

In a small private room at Qinfang Pavilion, Jia Daoshi reclined on a deck chair while Murong Jiu next to him picked up a piece of braised bear paw and put it in his mouth. The bear paw meat had been stewed until tender and melted in his mouth, making it very flavorful.

That's right, it's braised bear paw!

Upon learning of Jia Daoshi's arrival, Yi Qianxiao immediately provided him with the highest level of hospitality, opening a private room, waiving all food and drinks, and even hiring several dancers!

It was an experience like being in heaven!

"Mr. Jia, this bear paw was hunted in the northern mountains and forests. After it was obtained, it was wrapped in ice and snow and sent here by fast horse. It was stewed with thirty-six kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs. Eating it will definitely be very nourishing!"

Yi Qianxiao introduced it with a smile from the side.

When Jia Daoshi and his group came in, they happened to run into Yi Qianxiao.

Yi Qianxiao, of course, would not let this opportunity pass by, and immediately gave Jia Daoshi and his party a warm welcome.

I haven't seen this girl for a few days, and she's become even more beautiful.

Jia Daoshi squinted, savoring the bear paw in his mouth.

He had drunk some wine and was already slightly tipsy.

The meat of this bear paw hardly needs any chewing; a gentle lick with the tongue is enough to slide it down the throat!

Wonderful!

"Excellent work! You deserve a reward!"

Yi Qianxiao said to the cook beside her.

"Thank you, Mr. Jia!"

Upon hearing this, the dancers in front of them looked on with envy, each wishing they could immediately run to Jia Daoshi's side to serve him.

Who was Jia Daoshi? He saw through their thoughts at a glance and immediately laughed.

“You will all be rewarded.”

"Thank you, Mr. Jia!"

Anyway, with the Prince of Zhenbei as a wealthy patron, giving him a few coins is nothing.

And he's happy today.

These dancers are clearly pitiful people, with gambling fathers, sick mothers, and young brothers. If he doesn't help them, who will?

"Keep playing music! Keep dancing!"

Jia Daoshi is determined to have a good time tonight.

There's an old saying that goes, "Even if you spend all your money, it will come back again!"

Today, the table is laden with exquisite delicacies, and Butler Sun has also been summoned to the table.

The group ate while listening to music and watching dances, enjoying themselves immensely.

However, apart from bear paws, nothing else really counted as a delicacy for Jia Daoshi.

It's just that the plating looks a bit nicer.

If these can be considered top-notch delicacies, then Jia Daoshi has another idea in mind.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very joyful.

Not long after, a commotion suddenly broke out downstairs.

It looks like a squad of constables has entered.

The leader was Xing Yusen, the head constable of Yilan County.

Jia Daoshi stopped the dance and walked out into the corridor with Yi Qianxiao and the others.

Xing Yusen appeared to be holding a wanted poster in his hand, and he shouted into the lobby, "Everyone, stop what you're doing! Those performing over there, stop too! Look here! Look at my hands! See what I have!"

In his hand was a portrait of a female wanted criminal.

"Good! I believe everyone has seen it! This is the fugitive wanted by our Great Jing Dynasty! This woman treats human life as worthless and is extremely cruel! She has over a hundred lives on her hands and is currently hiding in a mountain stronghold near Yilan County! If any of you discover her whereabouts, immediately report to the authorities and assist the court in capturing her. A reward of one hundred taels of gold will be given to anyone who does so! Anyone who dares to harbor her or conceal the truth will have their entire family executed!"

The Great Jing Dynasty is currently in a state of great turmoil. Years of war have led to an empty treasury and a tight budget. In addition, the struggle for succession among the nine princes has caused instability in the court, making various forces in the martial arts world even more eager to make their move.

Outside, foreign tribes are also eyeing them covetously.

In such an environment, it is all too common for some ruthless bandits to emerge.

The county government's notices were already covered with all sorts of wanted posters with rewards!

Normally, it would be quite common and not strange for the head constable to come with his officers to inform people that another wanted criminal had appeared somewhere. But this time, when they saw the portrait, it turned out to be a woman, which made them a little curious.

The woman also became a notorious thief?

However, the county government's painter was not very skilled; from this portrait, all that could be seen was that it was a woman, with no other features whatsoever.

Xing Yusen seemed to agree that the sketch in his hand wasn't very convincing, so he continued, "This woman had a habit of never letting anyone see her face when committing crimes. During the day, she would wear a veil, and at night, she would choose to act in the dark without candlelight. Anyone who saw her face was either dead or blinded! Her methods were cruel, vicious, and utterly heinous!"

"Dear fellow villagers and neighbors, please be extremely careful if you encounter any suspicious individuals!"

After saying that, Xing Yusen waved his hand and led the team away, as he still had to go to the next place to notify.

A thoughtful look appeared in Jia Daoshi's eyes: "Everyone who has seen her face is dead or blind, so who painted this portrait?"

"It was probably drawn by a blind man."

Di Qinglin snorted coldly.

"Qinglin, you know what, this female thief likes to cover her face, which is a habit of yours."

Jia Daoshi laughed.

"Really? Then you'd better watch your eyes!" Di Qinglin said with a hint of amusement.

"Uh... just kidding, just kidding!"

The matter of the arrest warrant was simply dropped.

After a satisfying meal, the group prepared to leave.

As they walked down the street, Murong Jiu suddenly said, "My lord, look, isn't that our aunt? And the one next to her looks like Jia Ling."

Sure enough, it was Aunt Tielan and Jia Ling.

However, why are they carrying medicine bags and looking worried?

What about Uncle Jia Quan?

Jia Daoshi led a few men to greet them.

"Auntie, who are you selling this medicine to?" Jia Daoshi stepped forward and asked curiously.

A bad feeling suddenly crept into his heart.

"Daoshi." Tielan was pleasantly surprised to see Jia Daoshi. "Ajiu, Qinglin."

"Hello, Auntie!" Murong Jiu stepped forward and took Tie Lan's hand, her face full of warmth.

During her time in Jiajia Village, she really wouldn't have been able to persevere if it weren't for Tielan's constant care.

"Auntie, has something happened to Uncle? Is he sick?" Jia Daoshi sniffed the medicine in Tie Lan's hand and realized it was probably for treating bruises and sprains.

Just as Tie Lan was about to deny it, Jia Ling, who was standing next to her, blurted out, "Uncle Quan got into a fight. The doctor prescribed medicine, and he's still lying in bed at home!"

"A fight broke out? What happened?" Jia Daoshi's face darkened.

Di Qinglin also perked up his ears.

This era is nothing like the modern world before Jia Daoshi traveled through time, where if you were injured, you could go to the hospital for a full-body check-up to see if there were any hidden injuries, and if there were no injuries, you could just take some medicine and recover.

Here, wealthy people don't care; if they get injured, they can hire skilled doctors and receive the best treatment.

If you don't have money, or if you have any hidden injuries that you don't take care of, you may develop lifelong health problems!

Jia Daoshi never expected that his uncle would get into trouble just a few days after he left Jiajia Village.
