Drunk Bamboo

"Why are you stopping me?"

It took five or six soldiers working together to pull Shi Qianjin away from Feng Ying.

"Sir, sir, are you okay?" The chief official ran over anxiously.

"Where the hell did Gang go? You watched me get beaten! I'll beat you up when I get back!" Feng Ying covered his burning left cheek and kept cursing.

His eyes were fierce, "Shi Qianjin, you hit an official appointed by the imperial court. With so many people watching, you can just wait to be killed!"

"Who's afraid of you, a dog official!"

Shi Qianjin spat with disdain.

Feng Ying was so angry that she couldn't speak and almost rolled her eyes.

"Is it that the prefect of Zhongdu is too busy, or that the Ministry of Justice is too idle? They don't care about what they should care about, and they make a fuss about what they shouldn't care about."

At this time, Feng Ying noticed the woman in white who appeared out of nowhere.

I was so angry that I vented my anger on her.

"Who are you? How can you, a woman, talk to me?"

"As a passer-by, I only saw patrol soldiers doing their duty faithfully, protecting the public order in Zhongdu and the safety of the people. I saw the Ministry of Justice interfering in the work that should have been the job of the prefect of Zhongdu, making things difficult for the people on the street, forcibly closing shops and arresting people without knowing the truth. In broad daylight, under the feet of the emperor, I could actually see such a thing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

"Well said! The girl is very understanding!" Shi Qianjin clapped his hands in applause.

Everyone's eyes fell on the girl in white in surprise. She was so brave that she dared to speak so boldly in front of the patrol soldiers and officials from the Ministry of Justice.

However, Zhao was staring at the girl behind Xie Yuzhu with ripples in her eyes.

"I am a court official. How dare you, the people, fight against me?"

"Everyone present has seen it. Your Excellency, are you trying to silence the public?"

"Mind your own business. What I want today is the people from Yungui Pharmacy, and your life, Shi Qianjin."

"You are so ungrateful, my Lord. Today, it was Commander Shi who stopped you from making a mistake. You should be grateful."

"You are just a woman, talking nonsense!"

Feng Ying became more and more excited as he spoke.

Because he couldn't even win an argument with a little girl, and instead was restrained.

What made him even more angry was that a commoner was not afraid of him at all.

Not afraid of power or status.

Why! Why!

From beginning to end, Xie Yuzhu remained calm, spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly, and had clear thoughts.

"The Ministry of Justice is mainly responsible for criminal prosecution, execution of penalties, review of Dali Temple case files, and major cases reported by local authorities. Civil cases like the Yungui Pharmacy that have not yet been investigated are investigated by the prefect. It is not impossible for the Ministry of Justice to intervene..."

He walked over to the middle-aged man who was still kneeling and reminded him calmly, "If your son dies, it will be a criminal case."

“No, no!” The middle-aged man was terrified and shook his head repeatedly. He crawled to Feng Ying, hugged his legs and begged, “Sir, let my son go, let my son go!”

"Idiot!" He kicked her away mercilessly.

The leading official then dragged the man aside.

Feng Ying finally looked at Xie Yuzhu carefully, "Who are you? How do you know all this?"

"After so much noise, the prefect should be here soon." Xie Yuzhu smiled coldly, "The current emperor is a wise ruler. If he knew, would Lord Feng still be able to keep his position?"

"Who are you?" He looked terrified.

"What's going on? It's stuck here, and no vehicles can pass..."

The prefect of Zhongdu laughed loudly, stroked his beard, and walked slowly from the crowd with his big belly sticking out.

The yamen runners following behind him were just like him, lazy and lifeless.

"Minister Feng, what's wrong with your face?!" Gao Xiao's expression changed immediately when he saw Feng Ying.

"Mr. Gao, he was the one who beat him!" Feng Ying seemed to have found an accomplice, and his momentum rose again.

"I want to see who is so brave as to..."

Gao Xiao turned around, his nonchalant face twitching noticeably when he saw Shi Qianjin. It's better not to mess with this guy.

His gaze fell on Xie Yuzhu behind him.

I was immediately dumbfounded.

Princess Wind!

My whole body is stiff and I can't move my limbs.

Shi Qianjin stood guard in front of Xie Yuzhu.

"I won't change my name, and I, Shi Qianjin, beat him up. It has nothing to do with the Imperial Guards, and even less with this girl."

Just now, after calming down and thinking about it, he felt that he was reckless in hitting someone and knew that this would bring trouble to the Imperial Guard.

Everyone has his own share of responsibility. He cannot implicate his brothers in the Imperial Guard, let alone this kind-hearted girl.

Feng Ying stood next to Gao Xiao and said, "I am just a commoner, and I am so rude. Master Gao, take me back and interrogate me!"

Gao Xiao didn't move.

Feng Ying saw that he had a strange expression on his face and was about to ask.

Hua Qinfeng appeared in a majestic manner with the people from the Imperial Guard.

It was a sea of ​​black, and in terms of temperament, they definitely overwhelmed the officials of the Ministry of Justice and the prefectural yamen runners by a large margin.

"Who dares to touch my people?"

"Wind...Wind King!" someone shouted.

The people around knelt down one after another.

Except Xie Yuzhu.

"Girl, please salute quickly. This is the King of Wind." Shi Qianjin kindly reminded.

Hua Qinfeng's sharp gaze swept across the entire room, and when it fell on Xie Yuzhu, it immediately softened.

Xie Yuzhu raised her eyebrows and smiled at him.

"I know you are brave..." Hua Qinfeng was originally talking to Xie Yuzhu.

Shi Qianjin, who didn't know the situation, thought he was being taught a lesson and quickly admitted his mistake.

"Your Highness, I was reckless and I am willing to accept the punishment. It has nothing to do with the other brothers. I was the only one who beat the man."

Xie Yuzhu pursed her lips and smiled.

Hua Qinfeng glanced at Shi Qianjin who interrupted his conversation with Yuzhu.

"At least if you lose an arm or a leg and can't move for ten days or half a month, it's considered beating someone. If you just get a little skin scrape that doesn't hurt or itch, is that considered beating someone?"

Feng Ying was covered in cold sweat and shivered uncontrollably.

Hua Qinfeng caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye and felt a little relieved.

He continued to instruct Shi Qianjin, "Go out, don't say you are from the Imperial Guard, let alone you are my man. The Imperial Guard can't afford to lose face, and I can't afford to lose face even more.

Shi Qianjin was stunned at first, then surprised.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I should have drawn my sword directly and not given the other party a chance to breathe!"

"What do you mean it doesn't hurt or itch if the skin is just scratched! I'm bleeding..." Feng Ying's legs went weak and he protested in a low voice.

A cold light flashed across his face and he instantly shut up.

Hua Qinfeng finished his lecture, "Stand up and go away."

Shi Qianjin was happy to be scolded, "Yes."

He walked over with great pride and stood with Song Chi and Xun Shurui.

"Commander Shi, the prince has come personally to support you. I admire you." Song Chi said with a smile.

Shi Qianjin raised his head with a proud look on his face.

Glancing at Xun Shurui who had a stern face, he said, "Commander Xun, is that right?"

What he got was a cold “humph” from Xun Shurui.

Shi Qianjin turned his head away and ignored him.

"That girl is really brave. I have warned her, but why didn't she show respect to the prince? She just helped me out of righteousness, so I have to help her too. If she offends the prince, no one can save her."

Everyone in the Imperial Guard stood up tacitly. Among the group of people in black, Xie Yuzhu was the only one in white.

Shi Qianjin was worried about her but was stopped by Xun Shurui.

"It's unnecessary."

"What do you mean?" Shi Qianjin was puzzled.

"You don't know her?" Xun Shurui raised his eyelids.

"Should I know her?" I was even more confused.

"You've been patrolling the streets all day, and you've never seen her with the prince?" He frowned, unable to believe it.

"Why does the prince want to be with her?" Shi Qianjin couldn't understand.

"Because she is the princess." Song Chi answered.

"princess?!"
