"Slandering an official of the imperial court is a serious crime, Li Ergou, think carefully before you speak! Don't forget, your parents are still at home."

Li Ergou stared at Wang Jing intently but didn't dare to say anything. He was obviously threatened by Wang Jing.

Feng Jiuqing clasped his hands together and clapped: "Well said, Lord Wang is really a good official who is close to the people. He dared to threaten the victim in front of Lord Bai. Is there anything else you dare not do?"

Wang Jing looked at Feng Jiuqing, who suddenly showed up, and frowned: "Who are you? Is it your turn to speak?"

The system looked at Wang Jing sympathetically. In the entire Dai Viet Kingdom, there are only two people who must not be offended, one is the Grand Tutor, and the other is the new emperor. But this prefect has offended both of them. Isn't he afraid of being put in a sack in the middle of the night and having his nine clans punished?

Mo Ling pulled Feng Jiuqing behind him, blocking Wang Jing's sight. "Master Wang, why are you so angry? Why are you getting mad at a child? He is my cousin, Bai Qing."

Child? This was the first time Feng Jiuqing was treated as a child. It was outrageous. Have you ever seen a child who was 185cm tall?

Although his face looks a little tender, it is not as tender as a child's and he is not a giant baby.

The system feels the same way. Your Majesty, do you really not feel any pain in your conscience when you say this?

Wang Jing immediately put on a smiling face: "Oh, I am sorry that I failed to recognize Mr. Bai. I am so sorry."

Feng Jiuqing didn't want to pay any attention to this corrupt official who bullied his subordinates and fawned on his superiors, so he hid behind Mo Ling and said nothing.

Mo Ling said without changing his expression, "My cousin is shy. Lord Wang, you should talk less to my cousin, so as not to scare him."

The system did not comment. You never know who will scare whom, so don't speak too early.

"Since Lord Wang and Mrs. Li each have their own opinions, I will stay here for a few more days until I have thoroughly investigated the case before leaving."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Wang Jing agreed quickly, contrary to his usual behavior.

"I will go and arrange accommodation for the adults right away."

Mo Ling signaled Bingchen to have someone take Li Ergou away, and then said, "No need, Brother Bing and I can stay at the post station."

A trace of anger flashed in Wang Jing's eyes. He had been humiliated by Bai Yunjin many times. He didn't say anything, but that didn't mean he wasn't angry in his heart. But it was only for a moment. When Feng Jiuqing looked at him again, Wang Jing had returned to his smiling appearance.

"Everyone listens to Lord Bai. Come, take Li Ergou back to Suizhou government office."

Bingchen stopped the yamen runner who was about to step forward and said without any emotion: "No need, he can just live with us. With this commander here, he can't run away."

Wang Jing smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

After Mo Ling and Bing Chen entered the carriage, Wang Jing's face suddenly turned cold: "Give orders to keep those people under strict surveillance. Not even a fly can escape while Bai Yunjin is here. Got it!"

Then he said with a spit, "What a thing! He just got the position of a minister by virtue of his ancestors' meritorious service. He really thinks he is a piece of cake, asking his grandfather to stick his warm face to his cold butt everywhere! One day, I will trample this good-for-nothing dandy under my feet!"

The yamen runners around hurriedly applauded: "Yes, yes, yes, he is not even half as good as our prefect. He is not even worthy of licking our prefect's shoes!"

"That's right. Our prefect has taken the palace examination. This kind of person probably didn't even pass the imperial examination. He has no knowledge at all. He must be jealous of our prefect's knowledge, so he deliberately turned his face to our prefect."

In the carriage that had already gone far away, Mo Ling had a very unhappy expression on his face since he got on. Feng Jiuqing thought that Mo Ling was still angry with the corrupt official, so he sat aside and didn't say anything to avoid being implicated.

He no longer wanted to drink coptis water for more than a few days. Now he felt physically uncomfortable just recalling the taste.

"What are you doing sitting so far away?"

Feng Jiuqing looked up and saw Mo Ling looking at him unkindly. It was obvious that the words were directed at him. Feng Jiuqing moved a little towards Mo Ling, really just a little, no more than two centimeters.

Mo Ling almost laughed out of anger: "Why, are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Feng Jiuqing blinked, somewhat puzzled. What was wrong with Mo Ling? Why was he acting a little weird? Was he mad?

Feng Jiuqing continued to move towards Mo Ling at a snail's pace, but was suddenly pulled into Mo Ling's arms: "Why are you so far away from me?"

I have been sitting there all the way, and Feng Jiuqing was only 20 centimeters away from Mo Ling. How far is that? It is so close that you can touch his hand if you are not careful, okay?

Feng Jiuqing looked at the indifferent person with a wronged look, and said softly: "Qingqing, no, Ayan, you are so fierce."

"fierce?"

Mo Ling sneered and finally asked what was on his mind: "Why were you staring at the prefect shyly just now?"

I swear to God, this is slander, okay? Feng Jiuqing was clearly glaring at me just now, and there was no trace of shyness in his eyes. He was clearly furious, the kind of anger that was about to spit sparks!

"Qingqing was clearly glaring at him just now. Who made him so mean?"

Feng Jiuqing explained seriously, but the jealous person simply didn't listen.

"What's so good about him? Is it that he's ugly, old, or has wrinkles all over his face?"

Listen, listen, this is how wronged people are.

Well, don't try to reason with a jealous person. Feng Jiuqing recently discovered that Mo Ling suddenly became very jealous. He could be jealous of anyone, and he didn't care about reason at all when he was jealous, like now.

But there is nothing a kiss can't solve, and if there is, just give it another kiss.

Feng Jiuqing gave up explaining and kissed Mo Ling's open mouth.

Well, the world is quiet.

By the time we arrived at the post station, it was almost dark. It didn't look like a post station at all. Instead, it looked like an old, unused, dilapidated building.

Before Feng Jiuqing even entered, he smelled a strong musty smell. How long had it been since it was repaired and cleaned? If I remembered correctly, the money allocated by the court every year to repair the post station, where did all this money go?

Mo Ling's aura now makes it seem like no one should approach him from at least two meters away. The sky hasn't gotten completely dark yet, and Feng Jiuqing vaguely sees a cold smile on the corner of Mo Ling's mouth, which is quite creepy.

The secret guards nearby had already knelt on the ground, including Li Ergou.

Feng Jiuqing slowly pulled up Mo Ling's hand, and the people around him could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ayan, how about we stay at an inn?"

Mo Ling took Feng Jiuqing's hand and said, "Alright."

But after going to several hotels, they all said they were full and had no rooms left.

Arriving at another inn, Feng Jiuqing got off the carriage and rushed to the innkeeper without waiting for the secret guard to ask. "Six rooms, please."

The shopkeeper took out the book and looked at it, then said to Feng Jiuqing, "I'm sorry, sir, our shop is full. How about you go somewhere else?"
