Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

As soon as the two men returned to the inn, it was surrounded by police officers, who demanded that the owner hand over the vicious men. The owner had no choice but to take them one by one to look for them.

Jiang Li was awakened by the noise. He opened the door and just walked out when he saw Mo Yuan also opening the door. The two looked at each other and looked down together.

"They should be looking for us."

"Oh, are you going to take us to jail? I've never been there before. How about going for some fun? We'll be leaving tomorrow anyway, so how about going today?"

Mo Yuan heard this and said softly: "The one you attacked today is the only daughter of Li Youcai, the prefect here. He is a corrupt official. Since Xiao Li wants to go and take a look, let's go and take a look."

"I heard that there are many good things in his house. This trip cannot be in vain. When the time comes..."

Hearing him say that, Jiang Li's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked like he understood. The two of them returned to their room, packed up briefly, strode downstairs, and waved: "Hello, are you looking for me? Let's go quickly."

When the head constable Lin Qing saw them coming down, he looked alert and said, "Come here, identify who hit the young lady."

A man was dragged over, his legs were limp and one could tell at a glance that his legs were broken, or shattered. When he saw Jiang Li, his eyes were full of fear and his whole body was shaking.

Lin Qing followed his gaze and saw a short man. He frowned subconsciously, "Are you sure it's him? You didn't recognize the wrong person, right?"

"You two, please come with us to the government office."

Jiang Li cooperated very well: "Okay, lead the way."

"...You, you won't defend yourself or resist?"

"Ah, no, if you resist, I might accidentally kill you, which is not good. I don't like killing innocent people. Really, let's go."

"Be a civilized person, be reasonable, and don't resort to violence when there is no need."

Lin Qing's mouth twitched, and he took the man back to the yamen with a confused look on his face and locked him up in a cell. He was still a little dazed. This was truly the most cooperative prisoner he had ever caught.

A courtyard

There were cries, shouts, and curses coming from inside the house, as well as a man's flattering voice: "Mei'er, Dad is here, don't let your mind wander. If anyone bullies you, Dad will tear that person into pieces."

Li Mei cried even louder when she heard that. She looked in the mirror at the woman with a crooked nose, no teeth, and a mouth that looked like a toothless old lady, and she couldn't stop crying.

With a creaking sound, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a fat, big-eared middle-aged man walked in and said cautiously.

"Mei'er, it's your father. Let the doctor take a look at you. Get well soon, and you will be beautiful in the future."

"Oh, no, I won't do that anymore. My nose is crooked and I'm an ugly girl. That dwarf even said my face is covered with sesame seeds. I...I might as well just die."

Li Mei stood up and struggled to go out and commit suicide, but was stopped by Li Youcai. His fat face was filled with sadness: "Mei'er, if you go out and commit suicide, you will be asking for Dad's life."

"Hey, you are my only daughter. If anyone bullies you, I will definitely punish him and avenge you."

"Think about it, if you seek death, then the bad guys will be happy, and the one who will be truly sad is your father and me."

Li Mei thought about it and it did make sense, but she couldn't stand her ugly appearance. How could she go out in the future? The young man would definitely not be attracted to her. She couldn't take it anymore. The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt.

He hung his head and gritted his teeth, "Okay, if Dad doesn't want me to die, then you can. I have two requests. First, kill that dwarf. No, I want him to live a life worse than death."

"Secondly, my daughter wants that handsome young man to be her husband. He is exactly what she wants, the kind of majestic general. I like him very much."

Li Youcai was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, Dad will take care of this matter. You have to promise me that you will never commit suicide again."

When Li Mei thought about spending the rest of her life with that young man, she felt so happy that she said shyly, "Okay, Dad, I will listen to you and will never commit suicide."

"Okay, just focus on your treatment, and I'll take care of this."

cell

Jiang Li and Mo Yuan were locked in a cell. They looked around and saw many people in other cells. Some of them had gone crazy and kept shouting, "Wish, I wish, let me out."

"Corrupt official, you will not have a good ending!!"

Mo Yuan brought a stool from the corner: "Xiao Li, sit for a while."

"Well, A Yuan, let's go out and do something at night. When the time comes, why don't we let these people out to distract their sight and give them a chance to be free. As for whether they can escape, it depends on their own ability."

"That's fine. Most of the people in the places where corrupt officials are in charge are good people who have been wrongly accused. It's better to let them go and let them make trouble."

Soon night fell, and a fat, big-eared man came in, covering his nose, with a look of disgust on his face, and walked to their cell.

He called out, "The tall guy, what's your name? Come here. I have something to tell you."

Mo Yuan remained indifferent, as if he didn't hear it.

Li Youcai frowned upon seeing this. Could this be the kind of man Mei'er liked? He was a little too aloof. This kind of man was not easy to control, especially when he didn't have a family to support him.

"Ahem, you know what crime you have committed. If you want to live, you must be obedient."

"You can choose between death and marrying my daughter."

Mo Yuan raised a sarcastic smile, stood up and walked towards him. As he got closer, the sense of oppression became stronger.

Li Youcai stepped back unconsciously, thinking that this man was really scary. If he really married Mei'er, he might not be able to control him.

"You...what are you going to do? I'm telling you, here, I'm the emperor. I have the final say in everything, and no one can do anything to me."

"I advise you to be more sensible and tell me what you choose."

Mo Yuan pursed his lips and uttered one word: "Get lost..."

Seeing him like this, Li Youcai was so angry that his fat body was shaking. You, you kept saying it, but you couldn't do anything to him.

He shouted, "Come here, from today on, no one is allowed to bring him food. I want to see how hard you can stick your mouth. Do you hear me? Humph."

He turned around, the fat on his face trembling, and strode out of the cell.

Jiang Li came closer and said, "Hey, that fat guy just left like that. I thought he had some tricks up his sleeve, but it turns out he was just threatening. It's really useless."

Mo Yuan hummed, "Don't worry about him. We will pack up tonight and leave. Someone will clean up here by then. Xiaoli, look, the one locked up over there is not a simple one."

"If there is nothing to restrain him, the fat guy will probably be beheaded soon. Isn't it better to let them solve it themselves?"

Jiang Li looked over and hummed, "That makes sense."
