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

Upon hearing Jia Daoshi's words, Bao Longxing was in a dilemma.

Where do he have any witnesses?

This matter was originally a hot potato, and he couldn't avoid it at all!

If it weren't for the sudden order from above, he wouldn't want to get himself into trouble!

That gentleman is a big shot from Kyoto!

Whoever could kill that man was no ordinary person.

However, a higher-ranking official can have a crushing effect!

The governor of Yanzhou ordered him to investigate, how could he dare not?

"The witness is not here! Jia Daoshi, I advise you to confess honestly! Otherwise, you will be subjected to severe torture!" Bao Longxing paused, then unleashed his official power, "Officer Xing! Give this troublemaker a beating first!"

Xing Yusen remained unmoved: "Sir, it's inappropriate to use torture without solid evidence! Mr. Jia is the husband of Miss Yi Qianxiao, the second young lady of Xuanhua Hall, and Qinfang Pavilion is Miss Yi's place. He has absolutely no need to kill someone in his own wife's place. Even when committing a crime, there has to be a motive, right?"

Jia Daoshi shook his head: "Lord Bao, I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately."

Bao Longxing was taken aback. Seeing that Jia Daoshi didn't seem to be joking, he put the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard beside him, stood up, and said, "Alright, I'll give you that chance. You all go out first!"

Seeing this, Bao Youwei, who was standing to the side, looked worried: "Uncle Thirteen, be careful, it might be a trap!"

"Don't worry, I have a good eye for people!" Bao Longxing sneered.

After Bao Youwei and Xing Yusen left the side hall, Bao Longxing turned to Jia Daoshi:

"What do you want to say? You can say it now, right?"

Jia Daoshi hadn't expected that the magistrate would be so bold. Without saying anything, he simply took out his token and tossed it over.

Bao Longxing took the token and looked at it. He saw a lifelike phoenix on it and the number "1"!

His face turned pale instantly, and he fell to the ground in fright!

"Emperor...Imperial City Lord Si Tisi!"

The plaque in Bao Longxing's hand felt like a red-hot iron block, something he couldn't throw away or take. Cold sweat streamed down his face as he stood frozen, unsure of what to do.

Previously, he had no idea who the important person who came was.

Now I understand!

It was actually the Chief of the Imperial City Guard!

Jia Daoshi had no idea that this token had such power. Judging from this, it must be Lei Bao's token of authority.

Many times, seeing a token is like seeing the person in person!

According to Lei Bao's last words, he is now the head of the Imperial City Guard.

If that's the case, then this guy is indeed insidious!

Because once someone becomes the Imperial City Guard Commander, wouldn't they become a target of the Ming Cult?

This tactic of using someone else to do the dirty work is quite insidious!

A dilemma!

Lei Bao has really set himself up for a tough problem!

"Lord Bao, now you should know who you're talking to, right?"

Jia Daoshi's voice brought Bao Longxing back to his senses.

He shuddered, as if remembering something, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Jia, please be patient. I have just remembered something and need to leave for a moment!"

Without waiting for Jia Daoshi's reply, he hurriedly walked out of the side hall!

This has left Jia Daoshi completely bewildered!

This Longxing guy leaves quickly and returns quickly!

A short while later, he rushed back, wiping the cold sweat from his brow, and asked, "Mr. Jia, did you really obtain this item from that esteemed person?"

"What do you say?"

Actually, Jia Daoshi didn't know how to put this matter either.

Bao Longxing suddenly knelt down on the ground.

Only then did he realize that the governor of Yanzhou had asked him to handle this case so that he could be made a scapegoat and all the blame could be shifted onto him if he handled it wrong!

Who is the Imperial City Supervisor?

Although he was only a third-rank official, his status in the imperial court was second only to the Empress!

Whether you are a high-ranking official or a nobleman, if the Imperial City Guard decides to kill you at midnight, you won't live to see dawn!

Even important figures in Kyoto have to treat the Imperial City Guard Chief with utmost respect and courtesy!

Now that this magistrate has suddenly and inexplicably died in Yanzhou City, someone has to be held responsible for this!

Originally, a case of this caliber should have been tried directly by the Governor of Yanzhou!

but now……

Bao Longxing felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the young man before him.

The Commander's Card has appeared in the opponent's hands!

Moreover, according to reports, Tess had fought with the other party before his death!

Those who can sit in the position of Imperial City Supervisor are not easy to deal with.

Rumor has it that these people possess unfathomable abilities!

Now this kid has actually killed him!

If that's the case, then why pass the token to him in the first place?

If this kid can kill the current chief, then killing him would be a piece of cake.

The key point is that when he went out to ask that person for advice, the person just looked at the token, didn't say a word, and then threw the token back to him!

When he tried to ask, there was no one in sight.

Grandma! You can't treat people like this!

In that instant, Bao Longxing thought about many things!

Looking at Bao Longxing, whose face was deathly pale, Jia Daoshi wondered why the other man was so afraid, and immediately said:

"Instead of worrying and being afraid, you should think of a way to deal with it."

Upon hearing this, Bao Longxing was like a drowning man grasping at a straw: "Sir, what is your plan? I don't want to die! I just want to be an honest official, a good official who catches all the corrupt officials and bad guys!"

If this matter isn't resolved properly, I'll definitely lose my head!

"Alright, enough of this nonsense." Jia Daoshi had a headache. "I do have a way to keep you safe."

Upon hearing this, Bao Longxing immediately became excited: "Really?"

“Of course, it all depends on whether you can behave and listen to me,” Jia Daoshi said.

"Listen! I will certainly listen to Mr. Jia's words."

“Take this token. I’ll tell your superiors that the murderer has been apprehended, and this token was found on him. That way, you’ll have done a good deed. If I’m not mistaken, the person you’re asked to investigate is the governor of Yanzhou, right? This governor has no good intentions!” Jia Daoshi’s face revealed a playful expression. “He wants you dead, so let’s do it together. We’ll get rid of this governor of Yanzhou, and you can take his place. How about that?”

Bao Longxing was completely dumbfounded. This kid in front of him was really crazy. He killed a supervisor and now he wanted to kill a governor.

"This... my loyalty and righteousness shine as brightly as the sun and the moon..."

This guy certainly knows how to shout slogans.

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. The governor of Yanzhou is clearly trying to make you his scapegoat. If you don't deal with him, he won't let you off the hook later! Think about all these years of unfulfilled potential and walking on thin ice. How can you ever reach the other side?" Jia Daoshi interrupted him directly. "The opportunity is right here. It's up to you whether you can seize it!"
