The person who led the riot was a man with pockmarks all over his face.
His face was covered with fat, and it would be more accurate to say that he was howling rather than crying.
"Who sent you?"
Jiang Li stared straight at the fat pockmarked man, and the flesh on his face trembled.
The words I prepared in advance were stuck in my throat and I couldn't say them for a long time.
"Sir, please talk nicely."
After a while, the fat pockmarked man pointed at the sword and halberd stuck on his neck. Didn't they say that these officers and soldiers came from the capital and would not easily attack the people?
Jiang Li sneered, "Easy to talk about? Do you know who I am? Talk nicely?"
Fatty swallowed his saliva and said, "Even if you are from Medicine King Valley, you have to give an explanation if you kill someone, right?"
"Haha..." Jiang Li smiled wryly, took out a knife from his sleeve, and slapped the fat pockmarked man on the face, "You know you're from Medicine King Valley, and you still dare to cause trouble?"
After saying that, Jiang Li smashed the knife in his hand onto the wooden table beside him. "I'm telling you, since we dare to punish you in the name of Medicine King Valley, there will be no accidents!"
"You fat, pockmarked bastard with an underdeveloped brain and cerebellum, take advantage of my good mood to reveal the person behind you, and I'll leave you with an intact body!"
After saying that, Jiang Li yelled to the back: "Come here, ask the coroner to come, open the coffin, and perform an autopsy!"
Jiang Li was already upset because of this sudden incident, and this fat, pockmarked guy was so ugly that Jiang Li couldn't stand it anymore.
Not to mention the people who were causing the trouble, even Bai Zhi and Mo Xiaoxiao, who had been helping out, as well as Jing Shan and Bai Mo, were too frightened to speak.
The officers and soldiers, who had thought this matter would be very troublesome, quickly brought in a coroner.
Gu Qingchen also came with them.
Hearing that the princess was so angry that she started scolding people, Gu Qingchen directly grabbed the prefect and brought a team of officers and soldiers over.
Even if Fatty and the others wanted to make trouble, they could only watch their mother being taken away for an autopsy.
After a stick of incense, Fatty and others were arrested.
The charge was that he had allegedly murdered his own mother and attempted to frame the princess.
The prefect of Baohe City had never solved a case so quickly.
"Your Majesty, I always feel a little uneasy."
Jiang Li looked at Gu Qingchen with some annoyance. The fat man with pockmarks had been solved, and the government had posted a notice to the public, so the people cooperated with the treatment again.
But she always had an inexplicable worry in her heart, always feeling that something might happen.
"How about we go back to the capital first?"
Gu Qingchen has already sent someone to deliver news of the situation here to the emperor as quickly as possible. It is estimated that it will not be long before the court will send people to deliver relief food.
That night, Jiang Li took out all the reagents and handed them to Bai Mo and Jingshan, and then left Mo Jiu here to command the army to assist them. After that, Jiang Li and Gu Qingchen traveled overnight to the capital.

Qin Mansion.
These past few days, Jiang Shengsheng could always hear strange noises.
At first, she thought it was the cry of a servant who was punished, but the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.
In addition, in order to prove his strength to the old man, Qin Laosan took on some jobs and went to other places to do business.
Jiang Shengsheng was not afraid at first, but she had just had a nightmare and woke up in a cold sweat. When she heard this whimpering sound, her scalp went numb.
"Xiao Cui?"
Jiang Shengsheng called out softly.
No one answered the door.
Suddenly she remembered that in order to sneak into the study to look for something in the middle of the night, she deliberately didn't let the servants watch over her at night.
At this moment, the crying became louder. Jiang Shengsheng listened and heard some painful groans in between.
Jiang Shengsheng swallowed, lifted the quilt and sat up.
By the time she had put on her coat and gone out with the lantern, the moaning had not stopped.
The sound came from Qingshan Courtyard, where Qin Ji lived. Jiang Shengsheng had secretly been there several times and was very familiar with it.
Perhaps it was the middle of the night, the Qin Mansion was exceptionally quiet, and even the patrol officers were nowhere to be seen.
After Jiang Shengsheng walked around the rockery and pavilion for a while, she finally saw the gate of Qingshan Courtyard.
There was a servant standing at the gate of the courtyard. Jiang Shengsheng recognized him as Qin Ji's personal attendant.
Holding his breath, Jiang Shengsheng quietly walked around to the side door of Qingshan Courtyard. The side door was locked, but... Jiang Shengsheng put the lantern on the ground and moved two stones stacked together next to it with his hands. Then, a dog hole was revealed.
After sneaking into Qingshan Courtyard, Jiang Shengsheng discovered that the sound came from the woodshed. Although it was called a woodshed, it had actually been empty for a long time. It was just that... after Jiang Shengsheng gently poked a hole in the window of the woodshed, the scene inside almost made her scream.
…
It was a few days later that Jiang Li and his party arrived in the capital.
As soon as they arrived in Beijing, Jiang Li followed Gu Qingchen into the palace.
Although Gu Qingchen had said before that the Queen Mother was frightened to the point of falling ill was a bit of an exaggeration, he just wanted to use this to get Jiang Li away from Yaowang Valley.
However, Jiang Li was still worried and wanted to see it with her own eyes.
When I arrived at Yongning Palace, I found Xue Rou was there too.
"Li'er, come here quickly and let me take a good look at you. I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you so much."
As soon as the Queen Mother saw Jiang Li, a smile immediately appeared on her face which was a little sad.
"Greetings, Mother."
After Jiang Li paid her respects to the Queen Mother, she looked at Xue Rou and asked, "Why did Mother come to the palace?"
Seeing that Xue Rou also had a worried look on her face, Jiang Li felt even more uneasy.
"It's all because of your eldest brother's marriage."
After Xue Rou finished speaking, Jiang Li realized that although his second brother's marriage was arranged, the wedding date had not been set yet because his eldest brother was still stuck.
Although Jiang Qing felt that there was no need to care so much, Xue Rou was anxious and forced the matchmaker to matchmake for Jiang Qing.
As a result, Jiang Qing directly refused and said that if he was asked to go on a blind date again, he would ask the emperor to go to the border and never come back.
Good guy, Xue Rou was so angry that she almost died.
Later, Xue Rou pretended to be sick and stayed in bed for two days, and then Jiang Qing was beaten by Jiang Yao.
When apologizing to his mother, Jiang Qing accidentally let the cat out of the bag, and Xue Rou then realized that this silly boss actually already had someone he loved.
"Big brother likes Liu Jingyun, the daughter of the headmaster of Liuji Academy?" Jiang Li was stunned. "That's a good thing, mother."
The Liu family is a family of scholars. Not to mention that the principal of Liu Ji Academy was once my grandfather's favorite student, Liu Jingyun is also one of the most talented women in the capital. Logically, my mother should be happy.
"Isn't it a good thing? When I heard about this from Xiaojiu a few days ago, I wanted to bring them together. After all, before entering the palace, I was close friends with Madam Liu."
The Queen Mother sighed, "Originally, I wanted to summon the daughter of the Liu family to the palace today so that your mother could see her. But who would have thought that the person she sent said that the daughter of the Liu family had suddenly become seriously ill and couldn't even get out of bed."
