Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

"Hahaha, Brother Shen, you are truly my lucky charm!" Luo Qianxun put his arm around Long Aotian's shoulder and said, "We just solved a major case not long ago, and now we've caught the notorious thief Wang Wu. You're really amazing!"

Long Aotian smiled slightly and immediately said, "Luo Qianxun, I don't care about anything else, but can we at least give you the reward this time?"

"Yes, yes, of course we can!" Luo Qianxun laughed and put his arm around Long Aotian's shoulder, saying, "But we still have to follow the rules, right? How about this, you write a report and have Lin Baixun give it to me, and I'll definitely apply for it for you as quickly as possible, how about that?"

"Lord Qianxun, I have something to say about Lin Baixun." Long Aotian had been waiting for this moment. He walked straight to the carriage, pulled Jiang Shou down from the carriage, and said, "Lord Jiang, are you the one who should say this, or should I say it?"

"What did you say?" Jiang Shou feigned ignorance. "Lord Shen, although we may have disagreements, I am still an official of the Celestial Empire. You can't treat me like this, can you?"

"Alright, you've got some nerve." Long Aotian looked at this old fox, and his anger flared up instantly. He almost stabbed the old fox twice!

"Chief Inspector Shen, what exactly is going on?" Luo Qianxun asked, puzzled. "Why did you tie up Chief Inspector Jiang?"

“Luo Qianxun, you don’t know this,” Long Aotian said, pointing at Jiang Shou. “Regarding the reward for the last case, I wrote a report and went to Lin Baixun for verification and signature. But they insisted that I retrieve something for them, and they wouldn’t sign it if I didn’t. I had no choice. So yesterday, I went to the appointment on time, but I didn’t expect that Chief Inspector Jiang would lead a group of bandits out of the city in the middle of the night and use my waist token to deceive the officials and soldiers from various prefectures and counties who had set up checkpoints on the official road! They were all released at the Xizhang Forest Wharf, fifty miles away!”

Upon hearing Long Aotian's words, the entire Zhenye Division fell silent.

Luo Qianxun turned his head and looked at Jiang Shou, saying, "Jiang Shou, do you really dare to be so bold?!"

"Lord Luo, I didn't!" Jiang Shou hurriedly said, "I've been in the Zhenye Division for so many years, you should know what kind of person I am!"

"So what exactly happened?"

"Here's what happened. That night I saw Lord Shen go to the gambling den." Jiang Shou began to talk nonsense with a straight face: "Originally, I wanted to advise him not to go back to his old ways, after all, it's not easy to have made the changes he has now."

"But I didn't expect that Lord Shen went there not to gamble, but to collect money!"

"Take money?" Luo Qianxun asked in confusion. "Take money for what?"

"It's the bandits' money, Lord Luo!" Jiang Shou hurriedly said, "I discovered that Lord Shen had been collecting money from the bandits and then finding opportunities to send them out of the city. After I discovered this, I followed him out of the city, but I didn't expect to be discovered by him in the end. And what happened next is what you see..."

Listening to Jiang Shou spreading rumors and distorting the truth, Long Aotian couldn't hold back any longer. He pointed at Jiang Shou and cursed, "Jiang Shou, you are a despicable person! It seems that I was wrong to call you 'grotesque' back then. You must have been born with your skin reversed!"

If we're talking about pedantry and literary jargon, Long Aotian is no match for these ancient people, but if we're talking about swearing and cursing, Long Aotian is a master!

"This...this...such vulgar language is an insult to civility!" Jiang Shou shook his head repeatedly upon hearing Long Aotian's words, saying, "Everything I said is true, please, Lord Luo, investigate thoroughly!"

“Everything I said is true!” Long Aotian said. “I have witnesses, my disciple Jiang Beichuan, who is with me and can testify!”

Jiang Beichuan, who was in the carriage next to him, immediately chimed in, "That's right, Lord Luo, I can vouch for my master! And Luo Hongyan, Chief Inspector Luo, my master found out long ago that Chief Inspector Jiang and Inspector Lin were colluding with those bandits, so he told Chief Inspector Luo and me early on so we could discuss it."

Luo Qianxun turned his head to look at his subordinates and asked, "Where is Luo Hongyan? Where did she go?"

"Reporting to Luo Qianxun, my chief inspector went out last night and hasn't returned all night!" Luo Hongyan's subordinate immediately replied.

"I know where Chief Inspector Luo went, it was him!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Shou's fox-like eyes darted around, and he immediately pointed at Long Aotian and said, "He's the one who killed Chief Inspector Luo!"

"Chief Inspector Luo is exceptionally intelligent. I met her on the way, but I never expected that she had already discovered Shen Congxin's ulterior motives. And then..." At this point, Jiang Shou couldn't help but burst into tears, "Chief Inspector Luo died tragically at his hands while trying to save me. I desperately tried to escape back, but I still couldn't..."

"Chief Inspector Luo, I'm so sorry!"

Jiang Shouhao's heart-wrenching cries were so loud that if Long Aotian didn't know what kind of person he was, he would really think it was his own fault!

"Luo Qianxun, I only have one thing to say: if I did all of this, then why would I have brought back the head of the notorious thief Wang Wu?" Although Jiang Shou was deliberately trying to confuse the issue, Long Aotian still seized on that one loophole.

"This, perhaps, is you..."

"shut up!"

Seeing that Jiang Shou was about to distort the truth again, Long Aotian kicked him directly!

Jiang Shou fell to the ground, shouting, "Lord Shen, what are you doing? I only said a few words, and you're in such a hurry to deal with me? Oh dear, I'm truly wronged! I've worked diligently in the Zhenye Division for over a decade, and all I've gained is a body full of injuries and illnesses..."

Hearing Jiang Shou howl like that, Luo Qianxun looked quite troubled.

At that moment, Long Aotian immediately clasped his hands and said, "Luo Qianxun, if I really did such a thing, wouldn't it be better to just kill Chief Inspector Jiang and then lie and say it was the work of bandits?"

"Why should I bring him back and let him cause trouble here?"

Luo Qianxun nodded at Long Aotian's words.

"Luo Qianxun, you can't believe him! He's a scoundrel!" Jiang Shou fell to the ground, screaming like a pig being slaughtered: "Everyone knew before that Shen Congxin was a good-for-nothing, a master of drinking, gambling, and whoring! There must be something fishy going on here!"

"This..." Luo Qianxun looked at Jiang Shou, stroking his beard, and said, "But as things stand now, what Chief Inspector Shen said seems more credible. After all, if he really had taken the bribe, he could have just killed you, couldn't he? Besides, according to you, he had no reason to kill those bandits..."

As Luo Qianxun said this, he raised his hand, signaling his men to temporarily send the old fox Jiang Shou to the Black Prison.
