The case involved the princess of Prince Yun's Mansion, so the government office did not dare to be negligent. The case was investigated by the government prefect Zhao Wude himself.

Although Eleven said that he was just a groom of Prince Yun's Palace, the knowledgeable prefect looked at Eleven, who was a martial arts master and had an extraordinary bearing, and guessed that his position in Prince Yun's Palace must be very important, so he was very polite to Eleven.

Hearing Eleven's thanks to him, he immediately replied.

"Brother Eleven, you are too kind. This is my duty. I am sorry for scaring the princess this time. On behalf of the Jingzhao government, I would like to express my deepest apologies. We will notify the patrol camp to strengthen the security management inside and outside the city in the near future. The government will also solve the case as soon as possible and give an explanation to Prince Yun's Mansion as soon as possible."

Mu Jin's request to report the matter to the police was an instruction to make the matter public, and when Eleven said this, the crowd was immediately in an uproar.

"Who is so bold as to rob the carriage of Prince Yun's Mansion? And even dare to attack Princess Yun? I guess he must have lived long enough, right?"

The crowd pointed at the bodies of the five robbers on the cart and talked about it. Some people couldn't help but sigh, "Isn't it that they have lived enough? How could the princess not have a martial arts expert by her side?"

Eleven looked around at the crowd of people who were talking, thanked Zhao Wude again, then turned around and rode quickly towards the teahouse where Mu Jin was.

Mu Jin was sipping tea leisurely in the teahouse while listening to the storyteller telling stories.

The storyteller focuses on the tragic love story of a prince and his childhood sweetheart cousin.

Originally in the story, the hero was a prince who was about to marry his childhood sweetheart, the heroine's cousin, but the prince was favored by the young lady of the general's mansion.

For the sake of his beloved daughter, the general, who was more powerful than his master, used his military achievements to force the emperor to marry the general's daughter to the hero, resulting in the separation of the hero and the heroine.

Later, in order to be able to stay with the hero, the heroine was willing to be a concubine, and the hero overcame numerous difficulties and finally married the heroine as his concubine. After marriage, the heroine and heroine were very affectionate, but the general's daughter would make things difficult for them from time to time. However, the general's daughter couldn't stand the heroine and oppressed her everywhere. In the end, the heroine was tortured to death by the general's daughter.

As the book went on, Mu Jin and Qing'er felt something was wrong because the plot seemed to have a hidden meaning.

The storyteller told the book very well, making the listeners feel as if they were personally there. The men in the audience sighed and the women wiped their tears, feeling sorry for the hero and heroine in the story. They also criticized the general's family for being too powerful and using their power to oppress the royal family.

Soon after the story was told, some of the audience began to whisper.

"Hey, I say, do you think this play is very similar to the story of Prince Yun and Concubine Shen in Prince Yun's Mansion? It is said that the princess is the daughter of the general's mansion, and her marriage with Prince Yun was arranged by the general who came to the palace to ask for it. The general's daughter grew up with a group of military rude people, and she is extremely rude. I believe that Concubine Shen must have had a very difficult life under her."

After hearing this, Mu Jin and his servant had nothing left to understand.

Qing'er was so angry that she slapped the table and stood up.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Royal affairs are not something you, the common people, can discuss. Aren't you afraid of being sued?"

Some timid people kept silent after hearing this, but there were still some brave people who refused to accept it.

"We are talking about our own things. Why are you so anxious? I am not talking about you. How can the people of the royal family not be human beings? If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people. If you dare to do it, you can't let anyone say anything?"

Qing'er wanted to explain herself, but Mu Jin pulled her back and asked her to sit down.

"Why are you so excited? The more you refute, the more excited people will be about the discussion!"

Qing'er was still indignant: "Then Miss, just let them talk nonsense like this. It's obvious that they are coming for our General's Mansion."

Mu Jin smiled. Even Qing'er, who was usually dull and stupid, could understand it. Who else couldn't hear it?

Someone is using the General's Mansion to create public opinion. To put it mildly, it's just a slap in the face of Mu Jin and the entire General's Mansion.

The most powerful one is Marquis Mu Wei, whose achievements surpassed his master's, and even the royal family was suppressed by him and could not raise their heads.

Such an ugly way of eating and such a despicable thing, Mu Jin and his servant could guess with their toes who was involved.

Mu Jin said to Qing'er, "Don't worry, wait for me to think carefully about how to solve this matter before making any conclusions."

Just as they finished speaking, the master and servant saw Eleven riding a horse towards the teahouse.

In less than a moment, Eleven quickly walked up to the teahouse and saluted to Mu Jin, saying, "Miss, I'm back."

Mu Jin pointed to the tea table opposite and motioned for Eleven to sit down. Seeing Eleven sit down, Qing'er immediately poured Eleven a cup of tea.

After thanking Qing'er, Eleven picked up the teacup and drank from it in big gulps. He had been running back and forth all day and was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink a glass of water.

Eleven drank several cups of tea in a row, put the cups down, and spoke to the master and servant.

"I have followed the young lady's instructions and reported the matter to the government office. When I returned to the city, I deliberately spread the news."

Hearing this, Mu Jin nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Qing'er was still indignant about the play that had just happened in the teahouse, so she told Eleven the play she had heard in the teahouse again.

After hearing this, Eleven immediately looked around the teahouse. At this time, many people were still talking about the story in the play with their heads down. Eleven's eyes instantly turned cold.

The teahouse they were in was located in a busy neighborhood in the capital and was of mid-range consumption level, which meant that those who came here to listen to opera included both ordinary families and wealthy families.

These people usually have a little money, so they go out to show off, and when they are bored they gossip everywhere.

As long as you give these people a little trigger, they will make up all kinds of unpleasant words. This is creating public opinion and killing people invisibly.

Seeing this, Mu Jin stood up. Seeing Mu Jin turn around and leave, Qing'er and Shiyi also followed him with serious expressions.

After the master and his two servants left the teahouse, Mu Jin did not rush to get on the carriage. Instead, he continued walking along the street and looking around.

Seeing Mu Jin walking aimlessly, Qing'er stepped forward.

"Miss, haven't we returned home yet?"

Mu Jin shook his head and called Eleven forward.

"Go and find out now which teahouses have performed this play and how long it has been circulated."

Hearing Mu Jin's words, Eleven nodded and said, "I was originally planning to send you back to the palace, so I went to inquire."

Mu Jin looked at Eleven with a smile on his face: "Since you agree with me, you can go now. Qing'er and I will go back home together."

After what happened in Baishishan today, knowing that those people were going after Mu Jin, how could Eleven dare to let Mu Jin return home without any guards?

"Wait until I send the young lady back to the palace and then I'll go." After thinking for a while, he said again.

"This afternoon, I saw that there was a patrol camp next to the teahouse. I thought no one would dare to cause trouble here, so I left to report the case."

Mu Jin didn't think about Eleven. He considered her safety so much, and a warm feeling instantly filled his heart.

Just as Mu Jin and the other two were preparing to return home, a lazy and bone-chilling voice came to their ears.

"Hey~ Isn't this my sister-in-law? Where did you just come from? It's already dinner time, haven't you returned home to make soup for my third brother?"

Mu Jin turned around and saw a tall man walking towards them with a leisurely and elegant step.

The man was wearing a moon-white gown with a maroon silk gown over it. He had a lazy and unruly look on his face, and the corners of his mouth were half-upturned, which made him look very dandy. Who else could this be but Su Yi?
