After Ling Ba finished speaking, he and Ling Qi flew up at the same time and appeared in front of Constable Ning.
Ling Qi added, "As far as I know, General Gu already has someone he likes, but it's not her."
To ensure the veracity of the facts, he also made sure to show his identification badge.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Dafu's prejudice against Gu Qian gradually dissipated.
He knew that these two men were Gu Qian's loyal subordinates.
Upon seeing the two men's waist tags, Constable Ning quickly bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, "So you are General Gu's men. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Following Constable Ning's actions, the constables all paid their respects.
"Greetings to the two vice generals."
Qi Yuan looked at the two suddenly arriving deputy generals with a puzzled expression, and after careful examination, she realized that she did not recognize them.
"Nonsense! General Gu can only marry me in this lifetime!" Her gaze turned fierce as she realized something.
"So it was the two of you who launched the sneak attack!"
"To deal with you, we..." Ling Qi's words were cut short by Ling Ba's gaze, causing him to swallow his words.
He glanced sheepishly in Qiu Yan's direction and said, "If you say so, then so be it."
"I have no grudge against you, why would you harm me?" Qi Yuan said, then threw a punch at Ling Qi.
Ling Qi dodged to the side, "Because you have incurred the wrath of the masses, you deserve to die!"
"I'm going to kill you!" Qi Yuan gritted her teeth and charged at Ling Qi, but was held down by Constable Ning.
Officer Ning glanced to his left and right, and ordered, "Take him away!"
Two constables quickly stepped forward and subdued Qi Yuan.
"What are you doing? Get out of here..." Qi Yuan's anger intensified, and she struggled to break free.
However, she was still escorted to the government office by the officials.
Before leaving, Constable Ning made sure to take Liu Qi with him.
After the matter was settled, Qiu Yan and Jiang Liu said goodbye to Qiu Dafu and went to the Jiang residence.
Qiu Dafu followed the officials to the government office to continue building the house.
Liu Qibaba came to his side.
Qiu Dafu: "Just now, were you perhaps trying to confirm with the Northern Qi princess that you encountered her?" Qiu Dafu didn't know why he hadn't been able to kill Liu Qi.
It seems that keeping this person around will be of some use.
He knew some people from Northern Qi, and could save them a lot of trouble when necessary.
Liu Qi shook his head, "I didn't mean to confirm, I just thought she looked familiar, so I got a few steps closer."
Qiu Dafu: "When we get to court later, have you thought about what to say?"
...In the courtroom, Liu Qi knelt on the ground and respectfully replied, "This humble subject only knew she was a princess of Northern Qi because her attendants called her that."
Prefect Xu frowned slightly. Could it be that those people were starting to stir again?
The border region is a melting pot of all sorts of people, making it truly difficult for these local officials to hold their positions.
Qi Yuan gritted her teeth, glared angrily at Liu Qi, and thought to herself, "I was careless."
“I have said that I am not a princess of Northern Qi.”
Constable Ning stepped forward and whispered to Prefect Xu:
“Prefect Xu, this woman once said that she was engaged to General Gu, but this was denied by General Gu’s two lieutenants.”
"Is that so?" Prefect Xu's expression changed, and then he thought of the girl beside Gu Qian.
Looking at Qi Yuan below the hall, it was clear that the two were not the same person.
He guessed that it was probably just wishful thinking on the woman's part.
Since he has become acquainted with General Gu, he must be of extraordinary status.
"You say you are not a princess of Qi, then I ask you, who are you, and why are you whipping my people of Huaiyuan?"
As he spoke, Prefect Xu glanced at Liu Qi.
That simple sentence deeply moved Liu Qi.
