After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

The people of Fucheng are in for a good show now.

"Strange things happen every year, but this year is the freshest. Guess what?"

In the restaurant, a scholar was standing on the table surrounded by guests and said enthusiastically:

"The officers who went out of the city to arrest the criminals were caught in a string by the Censor. Do you think this is rare?"

The onlookers immediately echoed: "This is not only rare, it is simply evil!"

The scholar said proudly, "What's an evil sect? There are even more evil sects. The dignified censor is regarded as a murderer, tsk tsk tsk"

This seemingly pointed tut aroused everyone's curiosity and urged the scholar to explain the reason quickly and stop being pretentious.

The scholar was not in a hurry and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said in a tone of voice:

"The posthouse on Fifty Mile Slope outside the city had a strange fire the night before, burning it to ashes. I heard that the body of the postmaster was not found and was burned to ashes."

"The government received a tip that someone deliberately set fire to the inn. They immediately went outside the city to hunt down the escaping culprit. Unexpectedly, they caught Mr. Wang Jin, the censor of the patrol!"

At this point, the scholar deliberately stopped for a moment before continuing:

"Coincidentally, there was a master beside Mr. Wang. With his own strength, he actually captured a dozen officers and soldiers who mistakenly thought Mr. Wang was an arsonist. He also put them all in a long string and took them to the prefect's Yamen. Tsk, tsk, tsk, then You haven’t seen this scene with your own eyes, the guards’ faces turned pale with fright.”

The audience asked anxiously: "What happened in the end? Although it was a misunderstanding, it was also the imperial censor. Being framed like this by the officers and soldiers not only shows that our local officers and soldiers are incompetent, I think the censor will not take mercy lightly."

The scholar nodded heavily and said with a bit of joy in his tone, "I won't spare my life lightly, and I shouldn't spare my life lightly, such mediocre officers and soldiers who only know how to plunder the people and do nothing!"

"With the intercession of the magistrate and the garrison, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. They are all dismissed from their positions, beaten with thirty sticks, and imprisoned for three years."

When someone heard this punishment, they curled their lips in displeasure, but they didn't kill him. This was too light a punishment.

The scholar saw everyone's reaction in his eyes and thought that the result of this treatment was already quite good.

How could the common people who could not read a single word know about the twists and turns in this officialdom? The leading officer and soldier was the brother-in-law of the garrison, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were also relatives from various families. The prefect was really going to kill his head, I'm afraid This guy is going to cause a stir.

This was the result of sitting in the hall and moving out the saint.

Inside the official residence.

Wang Jin sat at the table with a livid face.

Qin Yao stood behind him, holding a stack of meat and vegetables in his hand, looking at the guard sitting opposite Wang Jin, listening to the secret words he said that plain people could not understand, and eating with relish.

Anyway, that's the same rhetoric. Everything is a misunderstanding. Don't think too much, adults. It's all young people who are not smart enough and are not sensible enough to do this.

But don't treat the young man as an enemy just because he is ignorant.

A sneer appeared on Wang Jin's face, "Isn't the guard very disappointed to see me alive?"

The villain in my heart answered: I am an arsonist, but what can you do to me!

The guard was obviously startled, then waved his hand, "Don't dare, don't dare, sir, you are joking."

Knowing that no matter how polite he was, Wang Jin would not be able to take back his guard, so he changed the subject and asked tentatively:
"I heard that Mr. Wang brought back a lot of evidence from Kaiyang County this time."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a loud "bang", and Qin Yao seemed to accidentally smash the empty plate in her hand.

"Sorry, my hand slipped." She said sarcastically. He quickly knelt down and picked up the pieces.

Wang Jin sighed helplessly, "Just let the servants take care of it."

He turned around and asked the waiter to come over and clean up quickly. He also asked Qin Yao if she was injured. Without waiting for her to answer, he urged people to send her to the hospital.

Qin Yao looked at her clean hands without any scratches and thought, at least she looks a little more like her!

Because both of them were injured, the doctor was always at the official residence for orders, and he came very quickly. As a result, the guarding master was left alone.

When Qin Yao and Wang Jin looked back, they had already left angrily.

"The entire Zijin Mansion has been heavily infiltrated, and now you are on guard with a clear grudge. He must be worried about you returning to the capital to read his book. Are you sure you can really make it to the capital alive?" Qin Yao doubted as she put down her trousers. asked.

The wound on her calf would have healed on its own if the doctor had waited longer to see her.

Wang Jin touched the gauze on his arm. The wound inside was itchy, but he didn't dare to scratch it hard. The itching couldn't be stopped, but it made him upset.

He endured his irritation and rolled his eyes at Qin Yao: "Can you say something auspicious?"

Qin Yao: "Then I wish you good luck and prosperity."

Wang Jin: "."

"Seriously, when will your response arrive?" Qin Yao asked seriously.

Wang Jin also answered seriously: "I don't know."

Logically speaking, someone should have informed him in the past two days, but there was no news for two whole days.

Qin Yao frowned and guessed: "It couldn't have been on the road." She made a quack gesture.

Wang Jin immediately denied: "It's impossible."

"Wait for two more days. You will continue to live with me in the official residence for these two days." Wang Jin was a little embarrassed and said pitifully: "I am afraid of the dark at night. Can you keep vigil for me?"

"Sir, this is another price." Qin Yao said seriously.

Wang Jin sighed, forget it, he has no money to pay now and the budget has already been exhausted.

"You must watch the evidence carefully!" Wang Jin warned very seriously before leaving.

Qin Yao couldn't help but wonder, "What is in the box? Even the guards are asking, is it something very deadly?"

Wang Jin hummed, "It can indeed kill you."

I was afraid of scaring her to death if I said it.

Qin Yao curled her lips, "Ha!"

As night fell, Qin Yao could only sit on the big wooden box, looking at the lively market outside the window, thinking to herself, it would be great if there were takeaways. At least she could reward her stomach with delicious food to pass the time. Boring time.

In order to look at this wooden box, Qin Yao did not leave the official residence even half a step, and when night came, she did not even leave the door.

In terms of professionalism, Wang Jin would not accept anyone but her, so she quickly fell asleep peacefully.

In the middle of the night, the sound of iron hoofbeats suddenly came from the street outside the official residence.

Uniform, cold and solemn.

The sound came from far to near, and finally stopped suddenly in front of the gate of the official residence.

Qin Yao thought that the person who was waiting for Wang Jin might be on the way, so she didn't expect that someone would come to her door so soon.

She leaned out of the window sleepily.

Atop a tall black military horse, the female general in red uniform raised her eyes sharply.

Their eyes met, and both of them were shocked.
