Pick up a princess to be your wife

There were only seven or eight masked men; even if Li Mu wasn't on horseback, they were no match for him.

He only mounted his horse because the ground was too slippery and there was a precedent of such a thing in front of him.

To Li Mu's surprise, the masked men did not rush towards him, but instead passed by the warhorses and headed towards Sha Haixin.

Their target was actually this little girl.

At this moment, Li Mu suddenly felt that the little girl looked somewhat familiar.

Sha Haixin had already gotten up and quickly drew her fishbone sword from her sleeve, engaging in a fierce battle with her opponent.

At that moment, Li Mu was dumbfounded.

This young girl's martial arts skills and agility are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Although her feet were still slippery, these seven or eight people were no match for Sha Haixin at all.

The fight lasted only a short time before a winner was decided.

After killing four people, Sha Haixin fled in a flash.

Just as Sha Haixin was about to make a move against Li Mu, a troop of cavalry arrived at full speed.

Grandma Pear Blossom, leaning on her cane, trotted over and quickly grabbed Sha Haixin, trying to run away.

"stop!"

The leader shouted, and Sha Haixin turned her head to look. Startled, she lost her footing and slipped again.

Grandma Pear Blossom had no choice but to drag Sha Haixin along.

However, they were not as fast as the warhorses, and their path was soon blocked by this group of people.

They were not soldiers, but government servants.

The person leading the group was none other than Wang Anquan.

Granny Pear Blossom was very wary; she didn't want to get into a conflict with the government officials.

If a fight really breaks out, her only option will be to take Li Mu hostage and escape with him.

But Wang Anquan did not draw his sword, so he definitely did not intend to make a move.

Wang Anquan bowed to the two men.

“The last missing persons case you helped solve, I later discovered that there was an even bigger organization behind them.”

The investigation revealed that they were plotting to kill you because you had ruined their plans.

But you've been staying in the city, so they haven't had a chance to make a move. And I've been tracking them recently.

Fortunately, they didn't know that you and your grandmother were highly skilled in martial arts, otherwise you would have been at a disadvantage.

Wang Anquan said.

"Forehead……"

Grandma Pear Blossom's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

It turns out that she and Sha Haixin were being targeted by someone else.

She planned to assassinate Li Mu while he was out of the city, and those people were just waiting for them to leave the city.

So those who were trying to assassinate them inadvertently helped them out of their predicament.

At this moment, Li Mu dismounted and walked over.

"They're not assassins?" Li Mu asked.

"I'm sorry to have startled you, Lord Li," Wang Anquan said, bowing to Li Mu. "They are not assassins, but heroes of Luyang County. They have recently helped our prison solve eight cases."

"Oh."

Wang Anquan asked Granny Pear Blossom, "Did you leave the city to lure out these bad people?"

“Yes, that’s right. Recently, I’ve felt that someone is watching us, so I went out of the city to find out.” Granny Pear Blossom said, going along with Wang Anquan’s words.

“How could you not notify the authorities beforehand about something so dangerous? Miss Haixin slipped and fell just now. Luckily, those people were slow. Otherwise, that fall could have been a serious accident,” Wang Anquan said.

"It was my oversight, please forgive me, sir."

"It's alright, I'm glad you're all okay. Perfect timing, I need to discuss something with you," Wang Anquan said.

"What's the matter?"

“I belong to the Luyang Prefecture Police Station, and we are currently short-staffed, so I would like to invite you to join us. If you are willing to join, applying for bonuses will be much easier in the future,” Wang Anquan said.

He had long harbored the idea of ​​taking in this highly skilled grandmother and granddaughter.

The main problem is that one of them is too young and the other is too old, and he doesn't know if it's in accordance with the rules.

Later, he asked his immediate supervisor, who said that as long as someone is talented, regardless of age or gender, they can be hired.

Li Mu had specifically instructed Wang Anquan that although he was only a squad leader, his authority was considerable.

"You mean you want us to become officials?" Granny Pear Blossom asked.

"It's not about becoming an official, it's about serving. Nowadays, to get a job in the government office, you need to undergo rigorous testing. But I'm willing to make an exception for you and recruit you directly into the government office without any testing," Wang Anquan said.

"What are the benefits?" Sha Haixin asked.

Granny Pear Blossom glared at Sha Haixin, thinking to herself, "Don't you know who you are? You really want to work for the government office?"

“There are many benefits. We have firsthand intelligence on all the crimes in the city and a lot of evidence. Once you join, you will have access to the classified files,” Wang Anquan said.

"Well, that's not very appealing. We don't need your intelligence; we can find out for ourselves," Sha Haixin said.

"Once you join the government office, you will have a formal position. You will be on duty for four hours a day, one of which is a day off per week."

In addition, there are many other benefits, including but not limited to free meals, free school fees for children, and free medicine for injuries and illnesses. Of course, more benefits will be added in the future.

Wang Anquan explained.

"Free meals and even medicine... sounds good. But what about the salary?" Sha Haixin asked.

“Ordinary constables in the police station receive ten taels of silver a month. Of course, since you two are martial arts experts, I will naturally increase your salaries. However, compared to salaries, the bonuses you can receive are the most important thing,” Wang Anquan said.

“That makes sense. Rewards of several hundred taels of gold are much higher than a salary,” Sha Haixin said.

“Backdoor opportunities don’t come often. Once you’re officially employed, your career is secure for life. How about it, want to consider it?” Wang Anquan said.

"Oh, I won't consider it," Sha Haixin replied casually.

Grandma Pear Blossom was relieved to hear this.

Then Sha Haixin smiled and raised her hand, saying, "I'll join!"

Grandma Pear Blossom almost strained her back on the spot.

"Well, officer, the child doesn't know any better, she..."

“I want to join,” Sha Haixin interrupted Granny Pear Blossom.

“Since Miss Haixin is willing to join us, then on behalf of all the people of Lingnan Road, I extend my welcome to you. From now on, let’s work together to punish evil and promote good,” Wang Anquan said.

"Punish the wicked and promote the good, take the bonus! Take all the bonuses from the government office!" Sha Haixin raised his hand and cheered.

"That's ambitious, haha. What about you, Mother-in-law?"

Grandma Pear Blossom's face was dark, and her features were almost scrunched up.

She had no idea what kind of partner she had brought along.

Over time, Sha Haixin forgot her own identity and chose to join the government.

"I need to think about it, mainly because I'm getting old and it's inconvenient for me to do things," said Granny Pear Blossom.

"That's fine. Once Miss Haixin joins, you'll be a family member of the constables, and you'll enjoy the same benefits."
