Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

"Even if you plead for the people and arrest all corrupt officials, have you ever thought that this matter involves too many people? Not to mention the distant ones, just look at how many officials were impeached when the Jinyiwei was impeached before. If all these people were arrested and killed, and their families were dealt with, this would mean thousands or even tens of thousands of lives!" Yu Ran took a deep breath and looked at him. "They say killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, but now even if you want to kill all the chickens in the world and chop off the monkeys at the same time, what should you do? How will the censors write about you in history books?"

Jin Liu pulled himself out of his excitement and said after a long while, "Yes, if there were so many officials missing at once, how would the court be able to maintain itself?"

Yu Ran looked deeply at Jin Liu and wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw the deep fatigue and heaviness on his handsome face, he swallowed the rest of his words and just silently grabbed his hand.

He looked up at her and held her hand: "We must first solve the urgent problem at hand. We can talk about the future later. As for the history books, it is nothing more than a name of a cruel and brutal official. It's no big deal."

At this point, he pointed at Hongze who was riding on a horse outside and couldn't help laughing: "Look, he is the cruel official mentioned by the censors. He used to run around the capital to catch spies. He was assassinated every day and killed assassins every day. His notoriety spread all over the capital. We thought he would die alone in this life, but he still got a fearless young lady who clings to him tenderly. Is he living a happy and comfortable life?"

This sentence made Yu Ran laugh.

Jin Liu opened the curtain and shouted to Hong Ze who was standing beside the carriage, "By the way, Lord Hong, since you saved this prince this time, when you return to the capital and want to be rewarded, how about I ask for an imperial decree for your wife?"

"Your Highness, please stop talking about this." Hong Ze said coldly, "I have already ordered your Jinyiwei to be in good order and wait for you at the city gate. We have enough people. My Shenji Battalion has only been ordered to ensure your safety from beginning to end. As for your mission, I cannot interfere."

"Tsk, you." Jin Liu glanced at him and said coldly, "I didn't mean that. Why are you being so defensive like a thief? I haven't even opened my mouth yet, and you're already waiting for me."

"In that case, Your Highness, please don't say anything. This will embarrass me." After Hong Ze said this, he rode his horse forward and disappeared in a flash.

Bi'an on the side said to Jin Liu with a smile: "When we came here, the master and my wife agreed that after this mission is completed, we will spend some time with her..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiuling patted the horse under him, and both the horse and the man jumped out. Bi'an was caught off guard and almost fell off the horse. Jiuling just bowed and ran forward.

"Hey! This brat! I didn't know that Yunyu was such a person who valued women over friendship!" Jin Liu was so angry that his face turned red.

Yu Ran was amused and supported him, saying, "Your Highness has important things to do when you return to the capital. You should rest well now! Be careful to heal your wound."

Although Jin Liuren was pulled back by Yu Ran, he was still angry in his heart. He said to Yu Ran, "Wait, after this is over, I will advise my eldest brother to let this guy return to his Yongning Guard. Anyway, he can guard the border town and avoid staying in the land of comfort every day!"

Chang Xin was riding outside. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "My Lord, if he really left, you would be more reluctant than his wife, right?"

"In my opinion, it is the smartest and most correct choice for Lord Hong not to interfere in this matter." Yu Ran suddenly spoke.
