Pan Wenjun stood in the alley with her arms crossed, showing no sign of backing down in the face of the man with the knife. Just as Luo Yong finally made up his mind and swung his knife to strike Pan Wenjun, his raised right elbow was suddenly struck by something hard, dissipating the force, and the gleaming weapon fell to the ground with a clang.
"This is the person who intended to commit violence in the street and indiscriminately kill innocent people!"
Upon hearing this voice, Luo Yong clutched his elbow and looked up behind Pan Wenjun. He saw that it was the Marquis of Pingyang leading several constables walking quickly towards them. Judging from their attire, they should be from the Patrol and Inspection Office.
Luo Yong's attempt to commit violence had been witnessed by those people, and he had no way to deny it now. They rushed towards him and, without saying a word, twisted his hands behind his back. His arms, which had already been struck and numb, were now in even greater pain, causing him to scream and cry out in agony!
Sun Xingjian walked to Pan Wenjun's side and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Pan Wenjun smiled sweetly and shook her head: "Brother Sun, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine."
"You're really reckless!" Seeing that she was alright, Sun Xingjian couldn't help but scold her again.
Earlier, the two of them were watching a play on the wall when Pan Wenjun happened to see a constable from the patrol office passing by in the next alley, and suddenly a plan came to mind.
“I’ll go down and try to provoke that man. You lure the patrol officers over. Since that couple has resorted to such underhanded tactics to try and trap you, we can’t let them off so easily!” After saying this, Pan Wenjun jumped down without Sun Xingjian having a chance to stop her.
Since she had already risked her life to act as bait, he couldn't let her efforts go to waste. So, he reluctantly followed her plan, lured the patrol officers over, and caught them red-handed.
Sun Xingjian hadn't expected that this silly girl wouldn't even try to escape, but just stood there waiting for the man to swing his knife down. If he hadn't grabbed a bead as a hidden weapon in his haste to knock the man's weapon away, wouldn't he have suffered a great loss!
Therefore, although he had successfully arrested the person, Sun Xingjian was not happy and was furious with Pan Wenjun.
Pan Wenjun playfully raised her eyebrows: "I'm not being reckless. I just believe that Brother Sun will protect me and won't let me suffer any losses."
Upon hearing this, Sun Xingjian felt too embarrassed to continue his accusations. He swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, turning them into a helpless smile. He really had no way to deal with her.
In Wei Ping's eyes, the back-and-forth between the two was nothing short of flirting.
She wasn't too upset about Luo Yong being arrested, after all, he had gotten rid of a troublesome person for her. But looking at the two people in front of her, her heart was churning, and she couldn't tell if it was frustration or jealousy.
At this moment, a junior officer in the constables bowed and explained to Sun Xingjian, "My lord, we will temporarily take this person back to the government office. After the inspector has interrogated him, he will be sent to prison."
Sun Xingjian was very satisfied with this arrangement, so he nodded and said, "You all saw this man swing his knife just now. I ask you all to be witnesses for this lady in front of the inspector."
He glanced at Pan Wenjun, then added, "Oh, I forgot to introduce her. This aggrieved party is Pan Niangzi, the daughter of the military governor of Weirong Army."
Upon hearing that she was a member of the Wei Rong Army's military governor's family, the constables immediately showed great respect for Pan Wenjun. They were all soldiers by origin and had long admired the Wei Rong Army stationed at the border. Their military governor, Pan Wei, was considered the God of War of Daye, an unparalleled hero!
The hero was returning to the capital with his family to report on his duties when he encountered a villain committing murder. If something were to happen to Protector Pan's daughter today, it would truly chill the hearts of the border generals!
While the group held Pan Wenjun in even higher esteem, they felt even greater contempt and hatred for Luo Yong. On the way back, they kicked and punched him whenever they thought of him. By the time they returned to the government office, he was bruised and battered, and his legs were almost broken from the kicks.
