Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

The east of Daqian's capital is rich and the west is poor. In a shantytown to the west of the capital, live the poorest people in the capital, as well as the most vicious people in the capital.

These people are willing to do anything as long as they are paid.

"Brother, I heard that the Zhengyang County Lord's Mansion has 10,000 taels of gold. Do we want to..."

A skinny young man waved his hand vigorously and looked at his boss expectantly.

Their boss is also a big figure in these films, with about a hundred people under him. They don't dare to kill people, but they are bound to commit petty thefts and collect protection fees.

The boss leaning against the outer wall glanced at his subordinate, the greed in his subordinate's eyes almost overflowed, and he kept rubbing his hands.

It seems that this subordinate is already impatient.

"laugh!"

The eldest brother sneered, "Heizi, if you want to die, go ahead. Do you really think the guards of the county lady's mansion are made of paper?"

Heizi heard the boss's answer and turned around anxiously on the ground a few times, "Are you really not going? Boss, that's 10 taels of gold, equivalent to taels of silver. If we can grab a little bit, it will be enough for us to live comfortably for the rest of our lives."

"This is much more cost-effective than the few copper coins collected every day as protection fees."

"Besides, the boss across the street is going there with a knife. If you don't go, you will be at a disadvantage."

The boss was too lazy to explain to him and repeated what he had just said: "Go and get yourself killed."

"Then Boss, I really went there."

Heizi still couldn't bear the temptation of ten thousand taels of gold, so he called a few good friends and ran towards the county lord's mansion.

After the curfew, the streets of the capital were still dark, but Heizi met many silent figures along the way.

Some of them were holding shiny long knives in their hands, the blades flashing cold light in the darkness.

Heizi looked at the knives in other people's hands, then looked at himself who was unarmed. His steps became slower and slower, and finally he just stopped.

They stopped a few hundred meters away from the county lord's mansion and watched those people holding long knives climb over the wall, and then be thrown out with their heads and bodies separated.

They flipped in one by one and were thrown out one by one.

I couldn't move my feet at all. The people who went in were all alive, and the people who were thrown out were all corpses.

As soon as the curfew lifted the next day, Heizi and several of his companions staggered to find the boss. The boss couldn't help but cover his nose because of the smell of urine on their bodies.

"See?"

Heizi nodded randomly, his mind filled with the thick blood and the piles of corpses outside the Zhengyang County Lord's Mansion.

To put it bluntly, Heizi is just a small gangster who can only bully small vendors. They never enter the shops on the main street.

Because I can't afford it.

"Have you given up yet?"

"Give up! Give up."

"I will just be a small thug from now on, and I won't dream of getting rich overnight."

The imperial guards outside the mansion of Princess Zhengyang County were busy all night, and Xu Jinyu was sleeping in the mansion and had no idea what was going on.

Occasionally I would hear a few screams, but I would just turn over and continue sleeping.

The next day, Xu Jinyu got up after getting enough sleep. Nanny He served Xu Jinyu dinner, then slowly got in the carriage and left the County Lady's Mansion to look for Wei An.

As for the bloodstains and corpse at the door, they had been cleaned up long ago, and Xu Jinyu didn't notice anything unusual.

The guards were busy all night, and they were smiling today.

We completed the annual target overnight. We caught countless thieves, both big and small. I think there will be a lot of bonuses.

It's another day to thank the Princess of Zhengyang County.

Since the arrival of Princess Zhengyang, the workload of the Imperial Guards has increased greatly, and the bonuses are relatively more than their salaries, so everyone is busy and happy.

When Xu Jinyu found Wei An, he witnessed a scene of powerful people bullying lower-level officials, and the target of bullying was Wei An, the head of the Ministry of Works.

Xu Jinyu’s fellow villager from the same place.

Wei An, an official appointed by the imperial court, was pinned down by several tall guards, while a young man in brocade clothes slapped Wei An's face.

The slapping wasn't as strong, but it was more insulting.

The clerks from the Ministry of Works nearby either lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything, or left directly. Anyway, they couldn't afford to offend this young man in brocade clothes, so they could only let Wei An suffer.

Afterwards, Wei An could only make things difficult for them, but this young man could cause them to lose their jobs.

"Mr. Wei, you sent your father and stepmother to prison, and gave up the title of Marquis of Pingyang, just to become a sixth-rank official. You are so stupid."

Han Qi Yu slapped Wei An's face, his eyes full of mockery.

"You are not worthy of being the prince of Pingyang Marquis. Songhe is gentle and polite, and has a superior character. He is worthy of being the prince of Pingyang Marquis."

Wei An didn't know the young man in front of him, but from the young man's tone he could guess that the young man should have a good relationship with his adopted brother Wei Songhe.

Wei An sneered: "I am not worthy, then Wei Song and that illegitimate child are worthy!"

A child born out of adultery!

Han Qiyu's expression was blank for a moment, then she immediately reacted and screamed, "How could Songhe have had a child out of wedlock!"

Wei An still spoke calmly: "If it's not a child born out of wedlock, then what is it? He is the same age as me, only two months apart. His mother married into the family three months after my mother passed away."

"Impossible! Songhe was born prematurely."

"Ask the imperial physician whether it is premature or not."

Han Qiyu's face turned red as if he had been insulted, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute.

"Hit me!"

The guard who was holding down Wei An raised his hand high and attacked ruthlessly, aiming at Wei An's fingers.

If Wei An's finger was injured, it would be a question whether he could continue to be an official.

"stop!"

The familiar voice made Wei An's tense heart relax at once.

I’m glad Xu Jinyu is here. I thought I would be beaten today.

[This familiar wording, familiar plot, at first glance it's a little cannon fodder, Wei An, you big villain can't beat a little cannon fodder. ]

"Hoohoo! Wei An, I'm here to save you!"

Wei An...

Wei An's expectant eyes turned into dead fish eyes.

Even if your voice can't be heard, I will still be grateful to you.

Now I just think you are watching the fun.

Xu Jinyu shouted "Stop!" and the guards following behind the car immediately rushed forward and rescued Wei An who was captured.

"Are you okay?"

Xu Jinyu first concerned about the villain who had not yet grown up.

"fine!"

Wei An shook his head.

After making sure that Wei An was fine, Xu Jinyu decided to take advantage of the situation.

Bah! No, justice was served.

"Zhengyang County Lady?"

"It's down!"

Xu Jinyu raised his chin and made an expression similar to that of the young man in brocade clothes. With the help of the guards behind him, he looked like a dandy.

As a person who overturned the Pingyang Marquis Mansion as soon as he arrived in Beijing and became the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, causing the execution of the entire family of the son-in-law Xie, Xu Jinyu was like a god in the eyes of the Beijing's playboys.

They are their idols and objects of worship.

He is also a person that parents have repeatedly warned their children not to mess with.

Of course Han Qi Yu knew him, but knowing him was one thing and Han Qi Yu came here today to vent his anger for Wei Songhe. It had nothing to do with Princess Zhengyang, so it shouldn't be considered as provoking Princess Zhengyang... right?

But when he spoke, his tone softened unconsciously.

"Greetings, Princess Zhengyang. I am Han Qiyu, the son of Marquis Xuanping. I am teaching Wei An, a disloyal bastard, a lesson. Why did the Princess stop me?"

"Wei An..."

Xu Jinyu looked back at Wei An, feeling a little confused.

No king and no father? It's Wei An.

What did Wei An do?
