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

"Young Master Ji, thank you so much for thinking of me."

"However, I must say that the officials from the county government should be at the entrance of the pharmacy by now."

Jia Daoshi remained completely calm.

Ji Yuan frowned, then after a moment, said nonchalantly, "Jia Daoshi, did you send your blind wife to report this to the authorities? You think that will do any good?"

"My Guang Sheng Hao Pharmacy has saved countless lives in Yilan County! Tell me, does the county magistrate believe you or me?"

Jia Daoshi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this time it's not the county magistrate who's here, but someone from our Yilan County..."

Before Jia Daoshi could finish speaking, a commotion broke out outside the warehouse!

It's the county yamen's head constable!

Judging from the voice, the constable wanted to come in, but was stopped by the people at the pharmacy.

"If you want me dead, I'll make sure your entire Guang Sheng Hao Pharmacy is buried with you!"

Jia Daoshi smiled faintly.

In fact, he could have chosen assassination.

Let Ji Yuan and his group leave this world silently.

After all, as a special forces soldier, he must have mastered at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, assassination techniques.

But in his view, assassinating the other party was clearly inappropriate!

Only by getting this kid to work for us can we maximize our profits!

Even if you can't make him obey, you can take a step back!

Ji Yuan glanced at Jia Daoshi in front of him, then at the courtyard outside the warehouse.

The noise outside is getting louder and louder!

The burly voice of Constable Xing continued to ring out, and his old steward was almost unable to stop him.

Ji Yuan's expression shifted, and finally he took a deep breath, his face filled with resentment:

"Then tell me! What do you want?"

……

Just as the gate to the warehouse courtyard was kicked open by Constable Xing, Ji Yuan, a smile on his face, trotted out: "Hey! Isn't this Constable Xing? What's the matter that you're in such a hurry? Has my pharmacy done anything wrong?"

Xing Yusen patted the sword at his waist and said casually, "Young Master Ji, of course I know you won't do anything wrong! I came here because someone just reported to the authorities that robbers have broken into your place! I just asked the guests outside, and they confirmed it! They said the villains have already entered the storeroom!"

"Oh dear! Look, this is all a misunderstanding!" Ji Yuan hurriedly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Constable Xing, and said with a smile, "Constable Xing! I'm really not afraid of you laughing at me, but the person who just came here and caused trouble was my cousin! He had a few drinks and was acting crazy! I've already given him some herbal medicine, and he's gone!"

"Huh? Is that really the case?" Xing Yusen asked with a suspicious look.

"Of course, if it really is bandits, you don't even need to come, Officer Xing. I'll tie them up and send them to the county office! It would be a waste of your time and effort, Officer Xing!"

"What are you saying! Protecting the people and maintaining order is both a responsibility and an obligation! No matter how much hardship we endure, we don't care! No matter how much suffering we suffer, we have to face it!" Xing Yusen nodded, slapped his sword, and said, "Let's go! Regroup!"

"Officer Xing, since you're here, why don't I treat you and your brothers to a good lunch? I heard that some new courtesans have arrived in Lan Kwai Fong and their singing is as melodious as orioles..." Ji Yuan said, seizing the opportunity.

"Young Master Ji, I'm not a very easy person to please. I don't like to eat, I don't like to wear nice clothes, and I don't like to play. So, please skip lunch and the singing girl!"

Xing Yusen is a very upright person who cannot tolerate any wrongdoing. Ji Yuan tried to bribe him several times, but failed each time.

That's why Jia Daoshi used this tactic!

……

The incident at Guang Sheng Hao Pharmacy has caused quite a stir, drawing large crowds of onlookers!

Neither Di Qinglin nor Murong Jiu went inside.

They're trying to keep a low profile as much as possible right now.

Just now, in order to avoid direct contact with Xing Yusen, I spent a penny to buy a candied hawthorn and asked a little girl to inform him.

"Sister Qinglin, what is the young master doing? You really are letting him act so recklessly. What will we do if he gets taken away by the authorities?"

Murong Jiu looked worried.

At this moment, Di Qinglin could only remain silent; she herself had no idea what to expect.

Moreover, although she had some guesses, she really couldn't understand why Jia Daoshi would do this!

“If my husband is gone, we will have no way out. Besides, we can’t stay in Dajing anymore. We might as well go to Longwu…” Murong Jiu felt very bitter at the thought of starting a life of wandering again.

"Lang Jun!"

"Yes, my lord..."

Just as Murong Jiu was about to say something, Di Qinglin had already walked towards the crowd!

"Lang Jun!"

"Lang Jun?"

Murong Jiu looked up and immediately saw Jia Daoshi walking towards them with a calm and composed expression.

At this moment, the midday sun shone on Jia Daoshi, making him look as if he were glowing!

Suddenly, the high priest's words echoed in Murong Jiu's mind again—the person who could save him would be bathed in holy light and walk toward him!

Is this... the Holy Light?

Di Qinglin did not rush into Jia Daoshi's arms.

She stopped when she was half a meter away from Jia Daoshi:

"You're pretty good, kid!"

Di Qinglin seemed to want to show concern, but he was too proud to admit it.

Jia Daoshi looked at the young woman before him and smiled, saying, "To be your husband, I absolutely have to be capable! How could I not be?"

Di Qinglin snorted coldly, then walked back to Murong Jiu's side.

"Lang Jun."

When Murong Jiu saw Jia Daoshi, she simply called out softly.

She had many questions in her mind, but she didn't know where to begin.

"Alright, I know you all have a lot of questions on your minds, but right now your lord is hungry. Let's go get something to eat first, and we can talk while we eat!"

As Jia Daoshi spoke, he took Murong Jiu's hand, kissed her on the cheek, and then led her forward with one hand on Murong Jiu's hand and the other on Di Qinglin's.

Di Qinglin: "..."

Murong Jiu's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom: "My lord!"

Jia Daoshi asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Let us go, we're on the street."

Murong Jiu's voice was soft and shy.

Di Qinglin also withdrew his hand: "Jia Daoshi, there are too many people here. We'd better keep a low profile."

"Yes, keep a low profile!"

Murong Jiu also withdrew her hand.

Jia Daoshi looked suspicious: "Many people are holding hands on the street. Besides, I'm holding my own wife, not someone else's wife. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Ugh! I can't explain it to you! In short, just stop pulling!" Di Qinglin stamped his foot and walked ahead.

Murong Jiu hesitated for a moment, then followed.

After being enlightened by the high monk from the Western Regions, Jia Daoshi no longer beat or scolded them as before, but sometimes his behavior was really too... just like that of a lecher!

Especially when she recalls that passionate kiss with Jia Daoshi, Murong Jiu's face still burns!
