The next day, Lin Yuan and Han Lan led their army to Tianyong City.
When Liu Feng first rose to power, the Fengling Army was stationed here, but now, Qian Mu's 10,000 men are stationed in Tianyong City.
With Lin Yuan's arrival with an army of over 40,000 men, the military strength of Tianyong City increased instantly.
The Tianyong City camp was immediately divided into two parts, with the two groups clearly separated, consciously drawing a chasm as the Chu-Han boundary.
Prefect Wang Yuanzhong had to please both sides, caught in the middle.
Lin Yuan and Han Lan came from the capital, and it was by order of the emperor, so Prefect Wang Yuanzhong took them to the largest restaurant in Tianyong City to welcome them.
The food here is excellent, but when they ate it, it tasted like cardboard.
Lin Yuan ate a lot, but he always felt that the food here was not as good as the street vendors on Zhengde County's commercial street.
It's not that the chefs in Tianyong City didn't take cooking seriously; rather, the best chefs in Tianyong City had already gone to work in restaurants in Zhengde County.
Around noon.
Liu Feng left the blacksmith's workshop, only to be stopped by Lin Xiaoxi halfway there.
This girl is no longer the famine-stricken girl who first arrived in Zhengde County; she has grown into a capable person who can stand on her own.
"Sir, you should go to the county government office immediately."
"Now we really need you to solve the case."
Liu Feng frowned.
No, it shouldn't be like this. Firstly, the county government office has only been operating for a few days, and secondly, there's someone as shrewd as Lin Xiaoxi around. Why should I need to solve the case myself?
Someone died?
"Is it useless, General? It's just some trivial matter."
"That's not right, why would Chun Yuan bother with such a small thing?"
"General, this matter... sigh... Lord Chun Yuan really has no way to handle it."
Lin Xiaoxi gave a bitter smile.
"Can't even solve cases? Is Chun Yuan, this county magistrate, really that useless?"
"It can't be that bad. He's a former prefect."
"General, alas..."
"The one who had the argument was your wife."
Liu Feng was dumbfounded. His wives were all well-educated and reasonable, and they usually treated each other with courtesy. How could they have quarreled?
My wife?
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
Liu Feng pondered in his mind that the Mu sisters were busy with all sorts of things every day, with Song Ling'er managing the household affairs and Liu Yan heavily pregnant.
So it must be Wu Xiangyue, but that doesn't make sense. She should be training at the drill ground.
Who else could it be?
Besides, given Wu Xiangyue's personality, if something were to really happen, they would have already started fighting; there's no need for words.
Liu Yan followed Lin Xiaoxi toward the yamen and changed into her official robes. This was Liu Feng's first time wearing official robes.
As Liu Feng sat down in the lobby, two groups of people arrogantly came up.
After they came up, they acted as if they wouldn't back down from anyone.
He didn't even bow or greet Liu Feng.
Sure enough, Liu Feng had already guessed it might be Qian Tian, and it really was her.
As for the other two, they were dressed quite elegantly, looked radiant, had a very manly air, and were tall and strong.
The reason this man didn't kneel was simple: he said he was the second-ranked martial artist during the reign of the late emperor, and according to the current laws of Dali, he didn't need to kneel before Liu Feng.
Although this person did not hold a real military position, he was still a person of status.
In the past, he would have taken out the Emperor's Sword at this time and made this so-called second-place scholar kneel down to him, thus thoroughly crushing his arrogance.
It also allows one to subtly display their official authority.
But that won't work now.
This involves that little girl, Qian Tian. We still don't know what exactly happened.
"I am Qian Tian, a commoner. Why do you not kneel when I have entered the court?"
Liu Feng's gaze fell on Qian Tian.
"I'm not going to kneel. Let whoever wants to kneel kneel."
Qian Tian was very angry when she said this.
Now that she's in court, she can't very well say that she's Liu Feng's concubine, especially the youngest one, so refusing to kneel is her last act of defiance.
Liu Feng knew Qian Tian's temperament, so he deliberately snorted and turned his gaze to Mu Shaoliang, the head of the prison warden.
"What are you all good for?"
"This woman is lawless; subdue her immediately."
As Liu Feng's brother-in-law, Mu Shaoliang naturally knew about Liu Feng's family affairs, so at this moment he was just watching the show.
There's a saying that goes, "Even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes."
Although Qian Tian's marriage to Liu Feng was done in secret, he already knew about it and had heard about Qian Tian's temper.
But he didn't expect Liu Feng to directly name Qian Tian and tell him to take her down.
"Ah, I..."
It will make you laugh.
Mu Shaoliang was dumbfounded. He thought, "Forget it. I wouldn't dare. If Qian Tian causes me trouble, I'll just have to put up with it."
So he turned his attention to his subordinates.
"Didn't you two hear the General's orders?"
