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

"This must be Jia Daoshi's, Jia Tisi's, manor, right?"

The leader of the group that came this time was none other than Hai Dafu, the Grand Eunuch of the Imperial Palace.

Behind Hai Dafu stood a large group of people.

Among them was Xing Yusen, the head constable of Yilan County.

Hai Dafu was just questioning Xing Yusen.

"Yes, Father-in-law, this manor belongs to Lord Jia, the Chief Justice!"

Xing Yusen looked respectful.

This old man is a big shot from the palace; we can't afford to be negligent.

Although Xing Yusen held a prominent position in Yilan County, he was considered a junior in front of the people in the palace and dared not presume to act arrogantly.

"Go and call them out. Tell them that someone from the imperial court has arrived."

Jia Daoshi's manor was considered a luxury residence in Yilan County, as it occupied a large area.

But for Hai Dafu, who had lived in the palace for a long time, it was a bit lacking. Not only was it a bit lacking, but Hai Dafu even showed a look of disgust on his face, and he held a small handkerchief to his nose.

These eunuchs from the imperial court, especially the Grand Eunuch, wielded immense power, able to speak directly with the Empress. They also possessed their own powerful secret police and secret police forces. Such court institutions were feared not only by local officials but also by high-ranking officials in the capital.

After returning to Dajingdu from Jinling, Hai Dafu reported on what he had seen.

However, after hearing this, the Empress simply waved her hand, dismissing him.

Hai Dafu, who was somewhat puzzled by the Empress's intentions, went to find someone—the Fifth Prince, Wu Quan.

Because Hai Dafu and Wu Quan had already secretly become allies.

"Oh, right, make him bring the stuff out! If he doesn't hand it over, just arrest him."

Hai Dafu's tone was very impolite, and one could even detect a sense of hostility in it.

This puzzled Xing Yusen, but how could he dare to ask about the feud between such important figures?

One wrong move and it's like gods fighting, and the little devils suffer!

Xing Yusen agreed and immediately headed towards the manor, preparing to knock on the door.

Steward Sun, who happened to be at the gatehouse, immediately opened the gate, exchanged a few words with Xing Yusen, and then hurried back to the inner courtyard to report the situation.

At this moment, Jia Daoshi was enjoying himself immensely, with a beautiful woman in his arms.

But after learning about this situation, it was clear that he could no longer continue sleeping and had to get up and put on his clothes.

Yi Qianxiao and Di Qinglin, however, were unable to get up for the time being.

Because Jia Daoshi, who has returned this time, is indeed too strong!

Even with a series of attacks, they ultimately lost!

They now only hope that Weng Changting can come back soon so that he can share the burden.

Jia Daoshi dressed, washed his face, and then, holding a cup of tea prepared by the kitchen, slowly walked towards the manor gate.

The commotion attracted the attention of Jia Bing and his group, who drew their swords and rushed over.

Jia Daoshi knew that the imperial court officials would definitely arrive, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

They haven't even had a few days to rest, and they've already caught a whiff of the smell?

"Hai Dafu, the head steward? Could it be that he also has Xiao Guizi?"

Jia Daoshi muttered a complaint to himself.

Soon, Jia Daoshi arrived at the entrance of the manor.

"Jia Tisi, I've heard so much about you!"

Hai Dafu was dressed in plain clothes. Apart from having a somewhat effeminate appearance and a slightly high-pitched voice, no outsider would have guessed that he was a chief eunuch.

"Greetings, sir. May I ask what brings you here from so far away?"

Jia Daoshi casually clasped his hands in a fist salute and smiled faintly.

Hai Dafu sneered, "Jia Tisi, let's not beat around the bush. I'm here for those two things!"

"Which two things?" Jia Daoshi feigned confusion.

"It's those two things!" Hai Dafu's face turned somewhat grim.

"What are those two things? I can't understand a word of what Eunuch Hai is saying," Jia Daoshi asked leisurely, taking a sip of his tea.

"Jia Tisi is asking a question he already knows the answer to! What I'm referring to is naturally the key to the Martial God Temple of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the Three Yuan Taiyi Pill!" Hai Dafu seemed to have been provoked by Jia Daoshi.

"Huh? Eunuch Hai, how come I didn't know I had these two things? Eunuch Hai must have misunderstood!" Jia Daoshi denied it outright.

Hai Dafu: "..."

Haigongyong was somewhat bewildered.

He never expected that Jia Daoshi would dare to renege on his promise!

Is this an attempt to embezzle the Martial God Temple Key and the Three Yuan Taiyi Pill?

"Jia Tisi, what did you say?" Hai Dafu asked again to make sure he had heard correctly.

“I do not possess what you are talking about,” Jia Daoshi said with absolute certainty and frankness.

Hai Dafu now knew he hadn't misheard, and his face grew even uglier: "Chief Jia, in the entire martial arts world, who doesn't know that you fought a great battle against the heroes of Jinling for these two things? And now you're saying you don't have them?"

"Eunuch Hai, you've seen your share of storms, how can you take these rumors seriously?" Jia Daoshi smiled calmly. "The reason I, the Prefect, would fight so fiercely in Jinling is because those blind fools bullied my wife!"

Hai Dafu was dumbfounded again: "Bullying...your wife? May I ask, Chief Inspector, who is your wife?"

"Of course it's the Prince of Zhenbei, Shen Li!" Jia Daoshi said calmly.

Hai Dafu: "..."

He really learned something new today!

Everyone says that Prince Shen Li of Zhenbei and Jia Daoshi have a close relationship. He had always thought it was just a rumor, but he never expected it to be true!

"Chief Jia, the key to the Martial God Temple and the Three Elements Taiyi Pill are rumored to be with Prince Shen. Since Chief Jia is with Prince Shen, these two items must be with Chief Jia! Am I right?"

“Eunuch Hai, I’ve already said this is just hearsay, don’t take it seriously.” Jia Daoshi completely ignored him.

"Jia Tisi, do you intend to defy the imperial decree?" Hai Dafu's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Whose order are you defying?" Jia Daoshi frowned. He noticed that Eunuch Hai was relentless and even had a murderous glint in his eyes!

This is a bit unusual.

I am, after all, a supervisor of the Imperial City Guard. Does this old eunuch intend to use force?

Hai Dafu's voice grew increasingly cold: "Jia Tisi, watch your tone! Since I've said this, I have proof of it! If you've obtained those two items and refuse to hand them over, that's defying an imperial decree!"

Hai Dafu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his murderous intent grew increasingly obvious!

"Hahaha! This is utterly ridiculous!" Jia Daoshi laughed loudly. "Since you have evidence, then produce your evidence. Otherwise, you are deliberately framing this official!"

Just as Jia Daoshi was laughing heartily, Jia Bing led Chen Long, Yuan Biao, Hong Jingbao and his group out and surrounded Hai Dafu and his gang!

When Xing Yusen, the head constable in charge of leading the way, saw this scene, he was completely stunned!
