The Mystic Princess is Too Invincible! The Abstinent and Cruel King Breaks His Rules and Pampers Her

Everyone in the capital knows that the new prefect was promoted and appointed by the regent.

Qin Zhaori and Jiang Ling were still acquainted, so Wang Jingkang specially brought a gift box to the tavern. He rode his horse to the outside of the tavern, and just as he dismounted and was about to go in, he heard foul language coming from the alley next door, which was unbearable to hear.

"Hey beautiful, hiccup! Have a drink with us and we'll let you go!"

"Little beauty, don't be ungrateful!"

Two drunken men surrounded the young woman from both sides, forcing her into a deep alley.

The young woman hugged her arms tightly, head bowed, trembling, looking helpless and weak. Forced to retreat step by step, her voice timid and pitiful, she pleaded, "Please, I have an elderly, seriously ill mother at home, please let me go!"

"Pah! I don't care about your parents, you have to keep me company and have some fun today!"

"That's right! Hiccup! Nobody's going to save you, hiccup!"

The drunk man's fingernails were black, and his dirty hands reached out to grab the young woman, his smile lewd: "Come on!"

suddenly!

A large, strong hand grabbed the man's arm, and a furious voice roared, "In broad daylight, how dare you harass an innocent woman? Do you have any respect for the law?"

"Damn it, who dares to interfere? Don't they know I'm the local bully on this street!" The drunken man cursed, turning around without even looking, and threw a punch!

"Crack!"

"Ouch——"

Wang Jingkang acted swiftly and gracefully, twisting the man's arm and kicking him away.

Upon seeing this, his accomplice immediately picked up a blue brick from the corner of the wall and rushed over, arrogantly shouting, "Kid, you're finished!"

"boom!"

Wang Jingkang punched him and broke his nose.

The two thugs sobered up instantly from the pain, and in fear and trepidation, they helped each other up and fled in a panic.

"Two pieces of trash!" Wang Jingkang cursed.

He used only one hand the entire time, carrying the gift box with the other. After checking that the gift box was undamaged, Wang Jingkang grinned in relief, then looked at the woman and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, miss, it's alright!"

The young woman in the coarse linen dress looked up at him, her face pretty and delicate, her eyes watery. "...Thank you, benefactor."

"You're welcome! You should go home now! Don't come to places that sell alcohol when you're alone; it's not safe for a young woman like you!"

After Wang Jingkang finished speaking, he turned to leave.

The young woman took half a step and called out, "May I ask your esteemed name, benefactor?"

Wang Jingkang waved his hand without saying anything. In his eyes, acts of chivalry in stopping injustice were insignificant and required no repayment from others.

Unbeknownst to him, the young woman was staring intently at his retreating figure, her eyes dark and unfathomable…

"Lord Qin!" Jing Kang strode into the tavern carrying gifts, much to the surprise of Qin Zhaori and the Imperial Guards.

Wang Jingkang immediately offered an excuse, saying that Wang Jing'an was unwell and couldn't come, so he would offer a toast on Wang Jing'an's behalf. Thus, Wang Jingkang was allowed to stay.

They drank until dark.

Wang Jingkang's stomach was full of wine, and he felt bloated. He waved his hand and stood up, saying, "Lord Qin, I need to go to the outhouse!"

"it is good."

As the main character of the banquet, Qin Zhaori was forced to drink quite a bit by the enthusiastic Imperial Guards. He slumped on the table, feeling dizzy, to sober up, and it took him a while to recover.

He glanced at the sky, then shakily stood up: "It's completely dark! Hiccup! Thank you all for your kindness, that's all for now, time to go back! I have to go to work tomorrow, hiccup!"

"Okay sir!"

"Hey, sir, where is the eldest son of the General's Mansion?"

Qin Zhaori was startled, then realized that Wang Jingkang had been in the outhouse for quite some time. He immediately slapped his thigh in alarm: "Oh no! Hiccup! Did Wang Jingkang fall into the latrine?! Quick! Hiccup! Go find him!"

A group of people found the tavern's outhouse, but no one was there.

Qin Zhaori called over the tavern owner and learned that Wang Jingkang had left on his own. Qin Zhaori breathed a sigh of relief, but was also speechless. Why didn't Wang Jingkang say a word before leaving? He'd scared him to death!

Early the next morning.

The Imperial Guard Office received the case.

Two men drowned in the Qingshui River. Their bodies showed signs of being beaten and having broken bones, suggesting a possible murder! Qin Zhaori sent people to investigate and discovered that the two deceased had been beaten by Wang Jingkang outside the tavern the previous night.

Qin Zhaori immediately rushed to the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

"Lord Qin, what brings you here!" Wang Jing'an was off duty today and hadn't gone to the Imperial Guard Office. Upon hearing the news, he personally came out to greet him.

Qin Zhaori frowned as he looked at him. "You've recovered?"

Wang Jing'an immediately felt guilty and awkwardly explained, touching the tip of his nose, "Um, I'll rest for the night! Lord Qin, is there something you need?"

"I'm looking for Wang Jingkang! There's a murder case this morning that involves him! Has your older brother woken up yet?"

Upon hearing that it involved a murder case, Wang Jing'an's expression immediately changed, and he took Qin Zhaori to Wang Jingkang's house to look for the person.

Who knows!

After they came to the door, they learned from the maid that Wang Jingkang had not returned at all last night!

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaori's expression immediately became extremely solemn and serious.

Wang Jing'an panicked, "Lord Qin, my elder brother would never kill someone!"

Qin Zhaori frowned, glanced at him, and said, "Find Wang Jingkang first! He drank quite a bit last night. If he doesn't go back to the General of the North's Mansion, where else could he go?"

"I don't know! My older brother never sleeps outdoors!"

"Send people to search first!"

Immediately, both the Imperial Guard and the General of the North's Mansion sent people to find Wang Jingkang.

However, after searching for an hour without any success, Wang Jing'an suddenly remembered something and immediately turned back to the General's Mansion. He rushed to Jiang Ling's room: "Ling'er, my elder brother has disappeared! Please tell my fortune!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling immediately stopped drawing the talisman.

She divined with her fingers and concluded that Wang Jingkang was not in danger!

But she couldn't predict where Wang Jingkang was at that moment.

has a problem!

Jiang Ling frowned, looked up at Wang Jing'an and asked, "Second Brother, when did Eldest Brother disappear? Where did he disappear?"

Wang Jing'an immediately recounted the entire incident.

He was filled with remorse and anxiously asked Jiang Ling, "Ling'er, is it because my brother went to the banquet in my place that he disappeared? If anything happens to him, I will never forgive myself!"

"Second brother, don't think too much. Take me to see the body first!"

"it is good!"

The two bodies were placed in the morgue of the Imperial Guard.

With the white cloth completely removed, Jiang Ling stood in the middle, examining the two corpses on the left and right.

A man had a broken left hand and bruises on his abdomen.

A person's nose was broken.

These injuries were not fatal. They all drowned, and strangely enough...

"Jiang Ling!" Qin Zhaori received the message and rushed to the morgue.

When he saw Jiang Ling, his expression was complicated and conflicted. He quickly explained, "I don't suspect your older brother is the murderer! But he is indeed related to the deceased! Now that he has disappeared, he is the prime suspect. If we can't find him, the Imperial Guard will have no choice but to issue an arrest warrant."

Jiang Ling looked up. "Qin Zhaori, have you used your Yin-Yang eyes to examine the corpse?"

"what?"

Qin Zhaori swallowed hard. "They didn't turn into ghosts, did they?"
