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

The next morning.

When Jia Daoshi woke up, the beautiful woman was no longer by his side.

I guess he went to commit murder again.

They're being so mysterious, I wonder what they're up to!

The lingering scent in the air and the damp sheets beside him proved that what happened last night was not a dream.

After a quick breakfast, Lei Zhentian arranged for a carriage to take Jia Daoshi down the mountain.

The mountain road was covered in snow, and the carriage moved very slowly.

We set off in the morning and didn't arrive until dusk.

The bumpy ride made Jia Daoshi feel like his bones were about to fall apart.

When he returned to the manor and saw that everyone was there, Jia Daoshi was finally relieved.

It seems that Lei Bao's death has not caused much of a stir for the time being.

Jia Daoshi's return brought a lively atmosphere to the manor.

Murong Jiu, Di Qinglin, Yi Qianxiao, Jia Bing, and Jia Hu all came out to greet them.

Jia Bing and Jia Hu couldn't help but tease Jia Daoshi, and Murong Jiu also stepped forward to offer his concern.

Yi Qianxiao and Di Qinglin, on the other hand, stood to the side, seemingly a little embarrassed.

Looking into Yi Qianxiaona's affectionate eyes, how could Jia Daoshi not know what this girl was thinking?

Although Di Qinglin's eyes were bandaged, he had gotten to know this woman very well after spending so much time with her.

After calming them down, he instructed Steward Sun to prepare dinner.

After dinner, he used the excuse that he was tired from riding in the carriage all day to go to bed early.

That evening, Jia Daoshi was very busy.

He spent the first half of the night with his newlywed wife, Yi Qianxiao, and finally managed to coax her to sleep. Then he rushed off to be with Di Qinglin.

How carefree and joyful!

As for Murong Jiu...

In Jia Daoshi's mind, Murong Jiu was still a seventeen-year-old underage girl, a little kid. Although she was stunningly beautiful, she was still a little kid after all!

The next morning, Jia Daoshi woke up early.

He dreamed of Mu Weishuang while he was asleep yesterday.

I dreamt that this woman had provoked a powerful enemy again, and was finally forced to wake up amidst a flurry of swords and shadows!

"Tsk tsk... These are troubled times..."

After waking up, Jia Daoshi prepared to go to the training ground to practice his skills for a while.

After several days of yin and yang harmony, the injuries in his body have healed. The two streams of true qi, one of yin and one of yang, have merged, making the operation of the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill even more effortless.

As soon as he arrived at the training ground, he spotted a figure running laps around the field!

Who else could it be but Jia Bing?

"Good morning, Jia Bing."

Jia Daoshi greeted him.

Jia Bing huffed and puffed as he ran up to Jia Daoshi:

"Master, why are you up so early?"

"Get up and exercise, so you won't get beaten up like a bear in the future."

"Master, it's all my fault..." Hearing Jia Daoshi say this, Jia Bing felt embarrassed and ashamed.

"Stop," Jia Daoshi said with a smile. "Listen, life is already hard enough. If you can blame others, don't blame yourself."

“This… what the patriarch said makes so much sense…” Jia Bing pondered it carefully, her small eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"Of course, practice your skills."

……

After breakfast, Jia Daoshi made some preparations and headed to Yilan County to see if Lei Bao's death would have any impact.

After walking around the county town, Jia Daoshi discovered that the people of Yilan County had no idea that a great battle had taken place at Qinfang Pavilion, let alone that people had died there.

It was as if Lei Bao had never appeared in Yilan County.

But that's normal. The Chief of the Imperial City Guard of the Great Jing is of noble status. Even if he comes to Yilan County, he will definitely keep a low profile. How could ordinary people possibly know?

This debt will ultimately fall on the Ming Cult!

Jia Daoshi felt that he was safe for the time being.

After relaxing, Jia Daoshi went to Zhu Sanfu and bought twenty catties of braised pork ribs, planning to have a good meal when he got back.

However, as soon as he reached the gate of his manor, trouble struck!

Di Qinglin held a long sword in his hand, pressing it directly against the chest of a constable, creating a very tense atmosphere!

Jia Daoshi was dumbfounded!

What's happening here?

If Di Qinglin were to strike with his sword, it would be tantamount to assassinating a high-ranking official of the imperial court!

You'll be wanted by the authorities!

Jia Daoshi has no desire to directly confront the imperial court!

With such limited resources, how can they withstand a few mishaps?

"Qinglin! What are you doing? Put down your sword!"

Jia Daoshi pushed through the crowd, handed the braised pork ribs in his hand to Jia Hu, then walked to Di Qinglin's side and slowly pressed down the sword in her hand.

Xing Yusen, who was being held by a sword, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and his feet involuntarily took a step back. Fortunately, there were several constables behind him who supported him.

"Officer Xing, are you alright?"

"Is that even a question? Quickly, give Officer Xing a drink to calm his nerves!"

"..."

Seeing this, Jia Daoshi was completely dumbfounded.

How did these constables end up on my own estate?

Could it be that after the incident at Qinfang Pavilion, they discovered that he himself killed Lei Bao?

Shouldn't it?

Jia Daoshi hesitated for a moment: "Officer Xing, what's going on?"

"They're here to arrest people," Di Qinglin said coldly.

Xing Yusen drank a few sips of wine and then recovered.

The thought that he, a dignified head constable, was being held at sword-pointing by a blind young woman and dared not move filled him with rage!

Shame on you!

"You little brat! How dare you point a sword at me, the constable! Don't you know I'm an official appointed by the imperial court!"

Xing Yusen shouted.

"Officer Xing! I am the second young lady of Xuanhua! Even your county magistrate would have to treat me with utmost respect! Who do you think you are to dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me!"

Yi Qianxiao's eyebrows furrowed, and her pretty face turned cold!

Upon hearing this, Xing Yusen's heart skipped a beat again.

A powerful force like Xuanhua Company is certainly not something a mere constable in a small county town can afford to provoke.

But then there were orders from above that a big shot had died in Yilan County and all the suspects had to be brought back for investigation!

Unfortunately, the owner of this manor is a suspicious person!

There's nothing he can do!

Seeing this, Jia Daoshi smiled and said, "Officer Xing, my wife is just like this. Please bear with her and don't take it to heart. Let's tell you what happened first."

Jia Daoshi spoke politely, and Xing Yusen seized the opportunity to say, "Recently, a murder case occurred in Yilan County. Someone provided information to the county government, saying that the deceased had appeared with you before his death."

"This constable has come today specifically to conduct an inspection."

Jia Daoshi thought to himself, "So it really is this kind of thing." He immediately said, "A murder has occurred in Yilan County? I really didn't know anything about this. But there are many martial arts figures in the city, so it might be a feud between martial arts practitioners?"

Xing Yusen shook his head: "Lord Bao said that he will take you back first to find out the situation. If this matter really has nothing to do with you, then you can come back."
