Jia Yin was annoyed and pushed open the car window, asking, "What's going on"

Mu Xu held a boy about half his size, resembling a little servant, in his hand and replied loudly, "There were several people standing at the crossroads. This kid suddenly rushed out to block the carriage and almost trampled him!"

Before another voice could be heard, a man in a silk robe arrived accompanied by seven or eight servants carrying several chests.

The man was in his thirties, clad in a stone-blue cloak. There was a hint of arrogance in his expression.

He stepped forward, bowing respectfully with a flattering smile, "May I ask if you are Princess Kangle This humble official greets you!"

Jia Yin raised an eyebrow, rubbed her aching arm, and didn't reply. She asked coldly, "What do you want"

Perhaps the middle-aged man didn't expect Jia Yin to be so direct. He hesitated for a moment and said, "My Lady, I traveled a long way, would it be possible to have a cup of tea at your residence"

"It was just that my servant was rude and nearly startled your carriage. It also gave me an opportunity to offer you a gift of apology."

As he spoke, he shifted his body slightly to let Jiayin see the boxes.

Unfortunately, Jia Yin didn't even look at the box. Instead, she glanced at the little servant who had caused the trouble.

The maid didn't look startled at all, clearly this was intentional. She rushed out just to block her path and create an opportunity for her master.

You have to remember that carriages weren't like cars from the past. You couldn't just slam on the brakes and stop immediately.

This veteran driver handled it well, and Mu Xu was also quite skilled.

Otherwise, if the horse gets spooked and runs wild, they'd be sitting ducks in the carriage. They wouldn't die, but they'd surely be seriously injured!

This is all for personal gain, not taking the lives of others seriously!

"You dared to send a servant to ram into my carriage, intending to harm me, and you still want to drink tea in our manor Who gave you the guts and audacity!" Jia Yin spoke without any politeness, reprimanding him harshly.

The middle-aged official certainly didn't want to admit it, he had to argue back. Mu Xu had already made a move, and no one knew where he had touched the servant girl. The servant girl cried out in pain immediately.

But after only a few breaths, he couldn't bear it any longer and the little servant blurted out, "It's our master! Let me stop the carriage!"

"Waaah, please spare me, please spare me! I didn't mean to!"

The middle-aged official immediately changed his expression and glared fiercely at the servant.

Mu Xu let go, the young servant collapsed like mud on the ground.

Jia Yin did not even look at the middle-aged official. She directly ordered: "Bring someone here, and send this servant and the one who asked for tea to Jingzhao Mansion. Ask them what crime it is to intentionally bump into a carriage and attempt to murder the county princess and a first-rank誥命夫人"

If the magistrate doesn't know, this princess won't mind going to the palace to ask His Imperial Uncle!

The middle-aged official turned pale, clearly afraid, and hastily said: "County Princess, I meant no ill will. I just thought of visiting your esteemed residence."

But Jia Yin grew impatient and stopped bothering him. Several old soldiers who had come with her waved their hands.

The veteran was about to tear into this middle-aged official. The middle-aged official, probably never treated like this before, was furious and opened his mouth to shout.

As a result, Jiayi had already sprawled beside the car window, a sly smile on his face as he looked at him. “Our new capital is really lively, isn’t it I just came out of the Jingzhao Mansion prison and saw a big show.”

The Grand Prison of the Capital

The middle-aged official wasn't stupid, he immediately guessed Jia Yi's identity and shrunk his neck instantly, not daring to utter a single word.

This is Li Jia Yi, the one who kicked National Uncle to death!

Li Jia Yi, whose notoriety spread throughout Xin Du!

The middle-aged official clamped his lips shut, terrified of angering this man, for fear that his life would be forfeit!

Li Jia-yi let out a cold snort and shut the window.

Mu Xu jumped onto the carriage, and the carriage continued forward. After passing through the second village checkpoint, it headed straight home.

Behind the carriage sat Li Zhensheng, Li Laoer, and Li Laosi. They had originally planned to make a fuss, but upon hearing Jia Yin and Jiayì step forward, they kept quiet instead.

As expected, the siblings' few words caused the roadblockers to back down and even escorted them to the magistrate's office.

Li Laer couldn't help but sigh: "The children have really grown up, they can all stand on their own."

Li Lao Si nodded and after a moment added, "Second Brother, this time I owe an apology to Jia Yi. He probably won't be able to get promoted in the near future..."

“As a family, what heresy are you talking about! It’s only right for a nephew to give way to his uncle. Besides, he’s still young, and it's good practice to work hard for a few more years.” Li Lao Er patted his younger brother’s shoulder, unwilling for him to feel guilty.

Li Zhensheng also nodded, "As a family, whoever gets promoted is an honor for our Li family."

Li Lao Si didn't say anything more.

He had already made up his mind that after he fully recovered Jiangbei next year, he would retire and go home.

Firstly, filial piety to one's mother for a few years.

Furthermore, the elder brother has been away for many years, the third brother is not good at managing affairs, and only the second brother is left to navigate in the new capital. He is certainly stretched thin.

He can come back to lend a hand, and together we can make our home even more secure...

Li Laoer directly changed the subject, saying: "That person just now must have come to plead for mercy and act as a mediator..."

"Second Brother, are you talking about those who were investigated" Li Lao Si sneered. "How dare they show up at our doorstep Do they really think our Li family has no temper!"

"Indeed, when they petitioned the Emperor to execute Jia Yi sooner, they never imagined this day would come!" Li Zhensheng leaned against the carriage wall, also sneering. "No one's pleas work, these people have no memory. We need to remind them from time to time, establish authority."

While the brothers were talking, a carriage drove into the new village.

The village head and Mr. Zhao, along with others, had been waiting here for a long time.

It's probably going to snow. The weather isn't that cold, but there's no sun either.

Several elderly men had built a large bonfire, and they sat around it, chatting as they roasted things over the flames.

A few mischievous boys, not yet old enough to go to school, gathered around and threw in a few sweet potatoes and a handful of chestnuts into the bonfire.

As a result, the sweet potato pancakes were burnt black, and chestnuts popped incessantly, causing the mischievous boys to jump excitedly.

The village head and Zhao Shu and others laughed incessantly...

Just as things were getting lively, the Li family returned.

"Is Jia Yi back" The village head rushed over in a few strides and asked loudly.

Jiayi pushed open the door and hopped down nimbly, smiling as he said, "Village Chief Grandpa, Zhao Grandpa, Wei Grandpa… I'm back!"

"Oh, you rascal! You're finally back! Everyone was worried sick!" The village head patted Jia Yi's back with a strong hand.

He and Lao Zhao, along with a few others, were all veterans wounded in service. It's inevitable that they would act and speak rather rough around the edges.

Compared to studious children like Jiarren and Liguer, they prefer rambunctious kids like Jia Yi, Xige'er, and Anger!

Especially Jia Yi, he learned a lot on the road of fleeing while traveling with them.

They're like half their disciples!

"Well done, kid! Glad you're back!" Uncle Zhao and the others also stepped forward, smiling with delight.

Li Laotai took back her grandson and was very happy. She greeted everyone, "Let's have lunch at home today. I haven't had time to make anything fancy, just a bit of lively cheer. Don't mind the simple meal, brothers."

"The old lady was joking, how could we dislike each other within the family!"

"This Jia Yi kid's back! Even with just pickled vegetables, our meal tastes better than meat!" The village chief waved his pipe and shouted at a mischievous boy, "Go to my place and ask Grandma Wu to bring over a piece of cured pork. Let's add some dishes for lunch." wonder he doesn't want to come over!”Having said that, she called her son forward and asked him about his well-being.The Crown Prince had a touch of impatience in his eyes, but he still coaxed his mo...
