After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

"Young Master Wang, the goods have been delivered to the employer, and this shipment is now complete. We'll rest for the day, and tomorrow we'll set off back to Caixia City."

Wang Zhao nodded. This journey was very smooth, without any trouble.

Although this was somewhat different from what Young Master Wang had imagined about the martial arts world, the trip was successful and he was quite satisfied.

He rubbed his aching back but didn't complain.

A true hero can endure these minor hardships.

The place was very close to the county town, and the group planned to stay at an inn in the town for the night.

As they approached the city, Wang Zhao felt thirsty, so he bought a bowl of large-leaf tea at a tea stall outside the city.

He was taking a big gulp of water from his teacup when he suddenly heard a husband's voice.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a husband kneeling on the ground, holding a baby in his arms, crying very sadly.

There was a sign in front of the husband, and when Wang Zhao got closer, she saw that it was a sign that read "Selling oneself to bury one's husband."

This husband is truly miserable.

She had been married to her husband for only two years and had just given birth when he passed away.

He was a poor man, so poor that he couldn't even afford a coffin.

Overwhelmed with compassion, Wang Zhao felt sorry for the man and gave him all the money she had.

After he finishes delivering the letter to Lin Nian at the county government office, he will return to Caixia City with the escort agency tomorrow.

There's not much to spend money on.

After parting ways with the people from the escort agency, Wang Zhao went to the county government office.

Just as he was about to go forward and negotiate with the guards at the gate, someone suddenly rushed up behind him, banging on a drum to appeal for justice.

Wang Zhao looked closely and realized that the person beating the drum was none other than his husband!

Just as he was about to ask what had happened, the officers inside came out.

Who is beating the drum?

Suddenly, the man rushed over and grabbed Wang Zhao's wrist tightly.

"My lord, you must do justice for me! This heartless, wicked husband has killed my child!"

Wang Zhao was pulled off his feet by the man, and he was completely stunned.

What's going on?

The man cried, tears streaming down his face, "My lord, you must do justice for this humble subject!"

Wang Zhao quickly said, "What do you mean, 'killed your child'? That's completely untrue! Don't make things up!"

Just then, an old man came over carrying a swaddled baby, exclaiming, "My precious grandson! You died such a tragic death!"

After he finished speaking, he glared fiercely at Wang Zhao.

"You wicked husband, how dare you harm my grandson! I'll fight you to the death!"

The old man was about to rush forward as he spoke, his eyes so fierce it seemed he wanted to skin him alive.

Wang Zhao was shocked and exclaimed, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't harm your grandson! You two aren't trying to extort money from me, are you?!"

The officer had grown impatient and summoned two men who, without explanation, locked Wang Zhao in jail.

"Hey! Don't go! I've already told you I haven't hurt anyone, they framed me! Come back!"

The jailer locked him in a cell and then left him there.

Wang Zhao was furious.

If he had known that doing a good deed would lead to being extorted, he definitely wouldn't have bothered.

On the prison roof, one of the guards asked, "Should we save them or not?"

Another guard said, "The king instructed that we can only reveal ourselves when the young master is in danger."

Since there is no danger to his life, it is not the time for him to reveal himself.

Inside the cell, Wang Zhao shouted, "Third Brother! Third Brother! Lin Yunxu!"

Wang Zhao called out for a long time, but no one answered.

Instead, they disturbed the jailer and were scolded.

Wang Zhao believed his voice was fairly loud, and given all the commotion he'd caused, the fact that Lin Yunxu still hadn't shown up suggested only one possibility.

He wasn't at the government office.

Wang Zhao stopped complaining and decided to make the best of it.

Anyway, if the people from the escort agency can't find him, they'll definitely go back to Caixia City to report it.

As a result, he was interrogated that very night.

The courtroom was dimly lit, and the two husbands, one old and one young, knelt before it and wept bitterly.

The older woman cried for her son, and the younger woman cried for her husband.

Beside them lay a swaddled baby.

Wang Zhao didn't need to go over to see; he knew the child had been dead for a long time.

Even the body was rotting.

"You audacious and wicked man! How dare you poison a child in the street! What is your punishment?!"

Wang Zhao cleared his throat, preparing to make a rebuttal, when he saw that the person sitting in the hall was not Lin Yunxu.

What's going on?!

"You audacious commoner, kneel down before me at once!"

The person in the seat of honor slammed his gavel, and the two weeping men immediately fell silent.

It took Wang Zhao a long time to control himself and prevent him from losing his temper on the spot.

He took a deep breath. "I won't kneel. You're not a county magistrate at all. You have no right to judge cases. Why should I kneel?"

"you!"

Wang Zhao sneered, "Go and call Lin Yunxu out, and I'll kneel down."

"This is outrageous! You treacherous commoner, how dare you! Beat him! Beat him hard!"

Wang Zhao said calmly, "I've already said you have no authority to judge cases. What you're doing now is overstepping your bounds. At best, you'll be fined; at worst, your property will be confiscated and you'll be exiled to the frontier!"

"You unruly commoner, how dare you spout such nonsense! You are utterly lawless!" The man in the seat of honor slammed his gavel and glared at Wang Zhao.

Just then, a constable ran in and whispered a few words in the man's ear.

His face instantly turned ugly.

"Take him away and detain him temporarily. He will be tried again at a later date." The man waved his hand, and several constables came forward and took Wang Zhao away.

Wang Zhao was taken back to his cell, and he was filled with doubt and confusion.

What exactly happened? Could it be that Lin Yunxu has returned?

"Third Brother!"

"Lin Yunxu!"

"Help me!"

Lin San, who had just returned to the yamen, was stunned for a moment.

Strange, I even heard Wang Zhao's voice.

He listened intently for a while longer.

It really is Wang Zhao!

On the other side, Wang Zhao was imprisoned back in jail and was lying in a pile of withered grass, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Lin Yunxu asked, "What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao immediately scrambled up from the haystack. "Third Brother, you've finally arrived."

Seeing the filthy young man, Lin Yunxu had a terrible headache. "How did you end up in jail?"

"It's a long story."

Wang Zhao thought to himself, he didn't want to be here either!

It's all because of our overflowing sympathy. We think that since we saved them, they should at least treat us with courtesy, if not gratitude.

Lin Yunxu sighed, "Come out, I'll take you to rest."

Wang Zhao asked, "By the way, Third Brother, what about the two people who wronged me?"

As if afraid Lin San wouldn't know, he described it in great detail: "The two husbands, the younger one is still quite charming."

"What, you still want to catch up with them?"

Wang Zhao shook his head vigorously, "I was just asking casually."

After a while, Wang Zhao said, "Third Brother, I was framed."

"I already know." Lin San sighed. Song County wasn't very big to begin with, so the government office naturally wasn't very big either.

The slightest disturbance would be known to almost everyone in the county government.

"I really didn't kill his child," Wang Zhao said. "I knew I shouldn't have given him the money; he really is trying to extort me."

Lin San said, "Don't worry about this, I'll handle it."

"Okay," Wang Zhao said weakly, "Can I go back now?"

"I'm afraid that won't work," Lin San said. "You're involved in this matter, and until the truth comes out, you have to stay in Song County."
