MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 515 Meet the Censor
When Wang Jin woke up, a little fish belly white was just showing on the horizon.
He fell asleep last night and could not see what the post house had become. Looking at it today, he realized how terrible the fire was last night.
The faint smell of burnt wood and rubble came to my nose. The entire inn had been burned down, and the furnishings in the house and the corpses of the dead soldiers had been turned into black ashes, leaving only a ruins charred by smoke.
Qin Yao took a shovel and was putting out fires everywhere.
She stared at the fire all night, and after extinguishing the last sparks with soil, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back, he saw that Wang Jin had woken up and was sitting on the straw mat in a daze, looking at him. He raised his hand and waved to him, "Morning!"
“Morning.” Wang Jin hesitated for a moment before reacting and nodded.
“You stayed up all night just to watch the fire?” he asked tentatively.
Seeing Qin Yao nodding, there was surprise in her eyes, "Why?"
Qin Yao threw the shovel into the carriage, clapped her hands and picked up the water and took a big sip. Then she looked at the green mountains in front of her and said:
“It’s midsummer right now, and if even a spark splashes out, the green water and green mountains in front of us will be burned to the ground. It will take more than ten years or decades for these plants and trees to grow into this large mountain forest. It’s a pity to burn them.”
“Human beings have brought too much harm to nature, just think that I am making up for it for human beings.” Qin Yao said half seriously and half jokingly.
Wang Jin's mouth twitched slightly, and he stopped asking about the reason. Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, he asked Qin Yao if he wanted to rest for a while.
"No, let's go. Get to Fucheng early so that I can catch up on my sleep."
Qin Yao whistled, and Lao Huang, who had been released, ran back immediately.
The two of them set up their bikes and set off immediately without eating breakfast.
The next short journey is much easier than before. As the capital city approaches, more and more business travelers are encountered on the road.
There are many people and many eyes, but it is safe for Qin and Yao.
Even though the posthouse was burned down, the government was inevitably alarmed.
Leaving the boundary of Kaiyang County, Qin Yao didn't know where the officials were standing. Just when she was about to push Wang Jin out alone to use as a shield, Wang Jin raised his hand and made a calm gesture to her.
“It’s okay, I’m one of my own.”
Wang Jin whispered these words, jumped off the carriage, and walked confidently towards the officers and soldiers surrounding the carriage.
He made his identity known.
The officers and soldiers looked at each other.
The next moment, the leading officer and soldier waved his hand and gave an order: "Take down these two criminals who burned down the inn and flouted the king's law!"
It's over, Qin Yao whispered in her heart.
Wang Jin couldn't bear to be surprised, and quickly looked back at Qin Yao to show that he really didn't know why things developed like this, and he didn't mean to harm her.
Qin Yao glanced at him speechlessly, pulled out the knife case, connected the knife and stick, picked up the two-meter-long sword and jumped out of the carriage, pulling Wang Jin behind her, blocking the officers and soldiers who wanted to take him.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yao would actually draw a sword at the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers were shocked at first, and then they became angry and shouted:
“The bold criminal dared to resist arrest!”
Qin Yao stood motionless in front of Wang Jin, raised her eyes to look at the leading officers and soldiers on horseback, and said loudly: "You soldiers, you want to arrest innocent passers-by without asking any questions? May I ask where you are? Officers and soldiers sent by Lu Yamen? "
The official smiled contemptuously, "How dare you, a reckless woman, ask the official where I am from?"
He looked cold and said, "Get it for me! No matter whether you are dead or wounded!"
After hearing this, the officers and soldiers under his command no longer cared about it, and immediately swung their swords to attack Qin Yao.
These are officers and soldiers, not bandits or assassins who dare not see people. If they really take action, Qin Yao will at least be accused of injuring an officer and soldier of the imperial court.
It would be okay if she was alone, she could have run away.
But she is not alone. Not only is she the head of Liujia Village, but if she is really investigated, the entire clan will be wiped out!
Just when Qin Yao was struggling to retreat step by step, Wang Jin changed his previous shameless behavior this time, suddenly raised the censor's token high, and said in a deep voice:
"I am Wang Jin, the imperial censor appointed by the emperor. This time I go to Zijin Mansion to carry out supervision duties on behalf of the emperor. Anyone who dares to obstruct me will be equivalent to obstructing the emperor, offending the saint, and will be punished by death!"
With that said, he immediately ordered to Qin Yao: "Qin Yao, I order you to quickly take down all these bold madmen who have offended the saints and submit them to the prefect's Yamen for criminal punishment!"
Hearing this, Qin Yao glanced back at him, Sir, are you sure you will protect me?
Wang Jin nodded heavily, his expression serious and serious.
Qin Yao immediately raised her eyebrows, and then she took action!
While the officers and soldiers were shocked by Wang Jin's words about taking responsibility for the emperor, Qin Yao suddenly moved the sword in his hand.
One stroke of the long knife, sweeping across the area!
Turn the knife head around and hit them hard with the iron rod, causing them all to fall down.
Let alone resisting, before she could even react, the long knife had already been put away, and the hemp rope was swung out. I don’t know how she moved, but with a few swipes, she tied the person’s hands and tied them up.
“Done!”
Qin Yao clapped her hands and stood up, looked up at the only officer and soldier leader who was still riding a horse, and asked with a kind smile: "Are you going to come down and capture yourself or should I help you?"
The officer and soldier’s eyes were wide open, angry and frightened, with words written all over their faces: How dare you!
But his lips moved a few times, and he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Qin Yao didn't have much patience. Seeing that he didn't answer, she helped him make a choice, hit him with a stick, swept him off his horse, quickly bullied him, tied his hands, and grabbed a handful of hay on the roadside to block it. He wanted to curse loudly.
“Excuse me, Master Yushi, what should we do next?” Qin Yao asked seriously.
It looked like she was just an innocent worker who had no choice but to obey his orders, but in fact, everything she did was not done voluntarily.
Wang Jin glanced at her unaccustomedly, looked at the group of more than a dozen officers and soldiers in front of him, thought for a moment, and then ordered:
“You continue to drive, and I will ride on horseback to lead these bold madmen who despise saints. Let’s go into the city and go straight to the prefect’s Yamen!”
Qin Yao clasped her fists and said, "I have the order."
So he handed the rope in his hand and climbed onto the carriage neatly.
The officers and soldiers were very shocked. What happened? The direction of development of things is completely different from what they expected!
Shouldn’t they be the ones who hunt down the murderer?
How did you manage to become a murderer?
The group of people arrived at the majestic city gate of Zijin Mansion. It was not only the bound officers and soldiers who were so confused, but also curious passers-by and the guards guarding the city.
Wang Jin had already seen through these brats, and without explaining, he took out the Censor's Order with a sullen face and threw it into the guard's arms impatiently.
The four guards looked at Wang Jin and the group of familiar faces he was leading with their eyes widened.
At this moment, there was more silence than sound. Wang Jin looked up and the four guards trembled. They hurriedly handed back the token with both hands respectfully, and knelt down to salute: "I'm waiting to see you, Mr. Censor!"
