After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

I didn't expect this to happen.

I couldn't help but hug Yiping tightly and said, "If you're scared, go in through the back door and wait for me in the yard where we live. I'll come find you when I'm done."

Yiping nodded quickly and said, "I was just about to go back and pack my things. I left in such a hurry that day that I didn't have time to pack my things."

After Yiping finished speaking, she let go of my arm, lifted the curtain, jumped down nimbly, and disappeared in a flash.

Her jump scared the driver who had just brought a footstool over. The stool fell to the ground with a bang and hit his foot. He screamed in pain and turned around in circles holding his foot like a ghost.

Li Jin brought a team of officers and soldiers over. I thought they were just there to show off, but unexpectedly, an officer immediately came out from the queue, straightened the stool, and then led me out of the carriage.

Li Jin also jumped off his tall horse. Before he got off the horse, two officers came forward. One of them helped Li Jin get off the horse, and the other took the reins, led the horse aside and tied it up.

This team of officers and soldiers is well-trained and they remained calm when faced with sudden situations. I couldn't help but look at Li Jin with a higher opinion of him.

Since Zhao Zhenyuan was stationed at the border for many years, the main gate of the general's mansion was only opened through the side door except when Gui Lanting and Zhao Fang went out. The servants also entered and exited through the side door when they did business.

Only the glutton Zhao Shengping could enter and exit the back door.

Li Jin looked at the tightly closed door and was stunned.

Logically speaking, I had applied for a name card and informed the general's wife of the date of my visit. Even if the general's wife was too arrogant to come out to greet me, she should have a servant to greet me at the door, right? Why was the door closed, as if to keep people away?

I looked at the closed door and said disapprovingly, "This door is usually not open. Come, I'll take you through the side door."

Li Jin looked at me strangely, pressed his forehead hard, and said helplessly: "Although General Zhao has made great achievements in battle, I am one level higher than him in rank, so there is no reason for me to take the side door."

Before I could say anything, Li Jin's men immediately ran to the gate and knocked on the door knocker hard. The "bang bang bang" sound echoed throughout the street.

After a while, the tightly closed door creaked open and a head popped out from behind the door.

When I looked, it turned out to be Zhao Jinbao, the eldest son of the chief steward Zhao Qiangui!

I quickly shouted, "Zhao Jinbao, why don't you open the door quickly? I'm back!"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jinbao slammed the door shut with a bang!

I......

Li Jin...

Li Jin and I stared in amazement at the door that had closed again, with countless black crows flying overhead!

Li Jin turned his head and looked at me and said, "Now it seems that you don't seem so weird."

I rolled my eyes and said, "You're the weird one. Your whole family is weird! I told you to go in through the side door, but you insisted on going in through the front door. Now you've been turned away!"

Before Li Jin could say anything, the door suddenly opened with a creaky sound.

A dozen guards ran out quickly and stood in two rows on both sides of the gate. Then a dozen maids came out, swaying their hips and waists as they walked to Li Jin, bowed gracefully, and shouted in unison: "Master Li is polite."

So many beauties rushed in front of Li Jin at once, making him feel embarrassed. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "You're polite, you're polite!"

At this time, Gui Lanting, accompanied by her four maids Qingping, Qingli, Qingju and Qingzao, walked gracefully to Li Jin, smiled and turned sideways, as if to salute, and said, "I didn't know that Master Li would come. I hope I can forgive me for not welcoming you in person!"

Li Jin looked at Gui Lanting with an unclear expression. Just as he was about to speak, I quickly pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Gui Lanting is not easy to deal with. You have to be careful."

Li Jin gently pulled back his sleeves, bowed to Gui Lanting, and said, "General's wife, you are too polite. I sent a name card to the general's mansion yesterday, saying that I would visit you today. Did Madam Zhao forget?"

Gui Lanting didn't expect Li Jin to speak so directly and without mercy. Her smiling face froze into an ice face for a while, then she shook her hand, glared at me, and said, "Lord Li is very busy with official duties and has a lot of things to do every day. I won't bother Lord Li with the trivial matters in the general's mansion."

I rolled my eyes at Gui Lanting!

Bah, you old devil who brings disaster to the world!

To you, the death of a person is a trivial matter, but to me, it is a big deal! If it weren't for Li Xian's protection, I would have been arrested by the government and thrown into jail!

Before I could retort, Li Jin said quickly, "There is nothing trivial under the feet of the emperor. Moreover, I am the governor of Chang'an. This matter should be under my jurisdiction. Why bother? Please open the door of the mansion, Madam Zhao, so that I can go in and investigate!"

Gui Lanting's face changed when he heard this, and he said bluntly: "I have an appointment with Gui Gui Gui to come to the palace today to discuss Fang'er's study of palace etiquette. The time to go to the palace has come, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you!"

After saying this, Gui Lanting flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave.

Gui Lanting was just about to get on the carriage when Li Jin waved his hand and his men rushed straight into the general's mansion!

Gui Lanting didn't expect that Li Jin had no martial ethics and broke into the general's mansion without even saying hello. She was so scared that she knocked her head on the door of the sedan chair. Fortunately, the maid beside her was quick to support her.

Gui Lanting was so angry that his face turned pale and he was shaking all over. He pointed at Li Jin and said, "Changguang (Zhao Zhenyuan's courtesy name is Changguang) has guarded the border for the country, risked his life many times, and suffered countless injuries. Now that he is not at home, you guys come and bully me, a woman and a child?"

Li Jin couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "It was you who went to the government office to report that someone had died, wasn't it? Now that I'm investigating the case, why are you trying to obstruct me in every way?"

Before Gui Lanting could say anything, I suddenly realized something and said, "Oh, I see. Zhao Qiangui is not dead at all. You just want to kill me?"

Gui Lanting snorted coldly and said, "You are just like an ant. Why do I need to go to so much trouble?"

Li Jin was too lazy to talk nonsense with Gui Lanting. He straightened his back, held a sign and waved it in front of Gui Lanting, saying, "The golden sign of "As if I were here in person" personally bestowed by His Majesty, even the prince has to kneel down when he sees it. Do you want to disobey the order?"

Gui Lanting looked at the gold medal in Li Jin's hand, and his legs went limp with fear. With a snap, he knelt on the ground with both knees together, lowered his head to the dust, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long, long live His Majesty!"

As she knelt and shouted, all the people behind her knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty!"

Except for Li Jin who was holding the gold medal, I was the only one standing upright in the audience.

Zheng Xian said, if I don’t want to kneel, I don’t have to kneel, and of course I don’t want to kneel.

Gui Lanting was usually arrogant, and I had never seen her so humble. I suddenly felt that the anger I had felt for being bullied for more than ten years was released. I couldn't help but put my hands on my waist and raised my head to laugh. When I had laughed enough, I pointed at Gui Lanting and said, "You evil woman, I never thought you would end up like this!"
