Chapter 56 We have already encountered two assassination attempts

The next morning.

Jiang Ruo woke up from a sweet dream surrounded by handsome men.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the curtain above, and murmured softly: "Uh, there seemed to be eight handsome men in my dream..."

"Could it be that my dream is coming true?"

"That goblin-like handsome man really plays a great tune..."

Xiao Chengjin listened to the mumbling in his ear: "......"

No wonder she laughed so... obscenely and happily in her sleep, it turned out she was dreaming of a handsome man!

Humph! Angry!

Jiang Ruo suddenly remembered the two bandits who were knocked unconscious last night.

Hehe! I wonder if things are going wrong in the prefect's household.

She turned sideways and pinched Xiao Chengjin's cheek, "You stay home today! I'm going out to work on my business."

After Jiang Ruo left, Xiao Chengjin opened his eyes and looked at the closed door with resentment.

It turns out that she has changed her mind. She used to take him with her wherever she went.

Now I'm thinking about how to abandon him.

Jiang Ruo quickly finished washing up with Dongxue's help.

She is a good girl and should go and pay her respects to her grandfather first.

Jiang Ruo hummed a little tune and walked to the front yard with graceful steps.

Dongxue and Aunt Liu looked at Jiang Ruo's departing back and glanced at each other quietly.

The two of them understood the meaning in each other's eyes at the same time.

They were the happiest slaves in the Dayan Dynasty.

If only the lady could give birth to a child...

Alas, it’s all because of my son-in-law’s incompetence, which has left them with nothing to do.

forecourt.

The old man and the old lady sat in the front hall early in the morning, eagerly waiting for Jiang Ruo's arrival.

Alas, I don’t know whether Ruoruo slept well here last night.

Jiang Ruo adjusted her facial expression before entering the hall.

After entering the hall with light lotus steps, she leaned forward slightly and said, "Good morning, Grandpa, Grandma!"

The old lady quickly stood up and helped Jiang Ruo up, holding her hand and sitting beside her.

"Ruoruo, you slept well last night."

Jiang Ruo looked at those eyes full of love and felt warm in her heart.

"Grandma, Ruoruo not only slept well, but also had a beautiful dream!" Jiang Ruoruo said with a slightly frivolous smile.

How could she not sleep well with so many handsome men surrounding her in her dreams!

The old man looked at the smile and suddenly thought of Nangong Li at the same age, and then his eyes unconsciously turned red.

At that time, Li'er was very unruly and had no serious manners.

Ever since I met that bastard Jiang Qinian, I started to learn the ways of a lady from a noble family.

She spoke softly and smiled without showing her teeth in front of Jiang Qinian...

Gradually...I am no longer myself.

Jiang Ruo keenly noticed the old man's strange mood, and just as she was about to speak to comfort him, she was interrupted by Nangong Yi who came in laughing.

"Haha, I finally found the bandit who robbed Ruoruo's dowry."

Nangong Yi, who had just vented his anger, walked in with a ruthless gait, and was glared at by the old man with disgust.

Nangong Yi restrained his expression when he was glared at by the old man. He saluted solemnly and said, "Dad, Mom, good morning!"

The old lady waved her hand, indicating that he could leave if he was fine.

Nangong Yi: “…?”

Mom, you misunderstood. I didn’t come here to pay my respects.

I'm here to look for Ruo Ruo.

Nangong Yi sat directly on the seat next to Jiang Ruo, "Ruo Ruo, how did you find that bandit with a scar on his face?"

"Uncle tells you that he was the one who robbed your dowry."

This morning, I finally got my revenge.

Nangong Yi recalled the aggrieved scene at that time, and became more and more angry. "At that time, he even put an '80-jin machete' on my neck and threatened me."

"What's even worse is that before he left, he kicked me to the ground..."

Nangong Yi felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, his eyes turning red.

The old man and the old lady looked at Nangong Yi's shameful appearance and were disgusted.

Before going to the capital to deliver the dowry, his family advised him to hire a few martial artists to escort him.

Unexpectedly, he said arrogantly: I go to the capital every year, my name is well-known, and no one dares to rob me.

That afternoon, he ran back crying, his clothes were torn and his shoes were lost.

It was such a miserable sight, I couldn't bear to look at it.

When Jiang Ruo heard Nangong Yi mention the "eighty-jin machete", she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Seeing my uncle's aggrieved look, he must have been scared at that time.

"Uncle, I heard that you found the bandit with the scar on his face and arranged for someone to get him out of the cell overnight."

"Take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge."

Thinking about the important things to do today, Jiang Ruo planned to inform them in advance.

After all, my grandparents have lived in Shengzhou for a long time.

If this matter is not handled properly, it may affect them.

After thinking about her words, Jiang Ruo slowly told them what she was going to do today, while observing their expressions.

Even after she finished speaking, the three of them were still in shock and didn't react to Jiang Ruo at all.

You could hear a pin drop in the hall, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

The three of them seemed unable to believe what Jiang Ruo said.

The prefect is colluding with the bandits...

No wonder we always fail in suppressing bandits!

It turns out these bastards are in the same group.

And those bullies who collect protection money, are they all on good terms with that bastard official?

By the way, that dog official seems to be the cousin of the current queen.

If that's the case, can Ruo Ruo and his group escape unscathed...

Just when Jiang Ruo didn't know what to do, the old man's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "Ruo Ruo, that official is the Queen's cousin. If you do this...will they retaliate against you?"

Jiang Ruo scratched his head and told the truth: "In fact, we have encountered two assassination attempts on the road. Uh, it was done by... the dog emperor."

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately turned their worried gazes towards Jiang Ruo, and asked in shock, "What? Assassination?"

Jiang Ruo nodded calmly.

Yes, the dog emperor has assassinated them twice.

It wouldn't hurt to take this opportunity to fight back!

For a moment, the three people in the hall fell into an anxious atmosphere again.

The dog emperor... must eradicate the roots.

Inside the government jail.

Chu Wenqian, who was knocked unconscious last night, moved his aching body. When he opened his confused eyes, he was stunned for a moment.

What's wrong with him?

Uh, this is...a prison cell!

Last night, he and Master Xue came to the bandit leader to interrogate him about the location of the stolen goods...

Then, everything went black and I lost consciousness...

Oops, the bandit leader was rescued by his accomplices.

Something bad is going to happen.

After Chu Wenqian stumbled to his feet, he shouted angrily to the outside: "Someone, come quickly..."

With this roar, Master Xue and the jailer, who were also in a daze, were immediately frightened.

It's over.

Why are they...I'm afraid something big is going to happen this time.

The backyard of the government office.

The prefect's wife looked at the curtain above her head with a blank expression.

Last night, she seemed to have had a dream...
