I traveled through time with my best friend.

Suddenly, the noise from next door became louder for some reason.

"Hey, have you heard that the young master of the Xu family was beaten last night?" A male voice came clearly over here.

Lin Yiyi and Wang Ziyan began to listen in silence in tacit understanding.

Four men were sitting in the private room next door, drinking and gossiping. One of them, who had a black mole on the corner of his mouth, said hurriedly, "Not only was he beaten, but I'm afraid he will never have any children or grandchildren."

"Ah, so serious?" asked the well-dressed man sitting next to him with a frown.

"That's right. I was in the Red Mansion last night and saw it with my own eyes. The young master of the Xu family was in such a miserable state."

The man sitting opposite asked, "I heard that it was the girl in the Red Mansion who beat him. Xu Muren is still lying in the Red Mansion. The Xu family has now sealed the Red Mansion and is determined to find the woman who killed his son."

"If you ask me, he deserves it. Xu Muben is a lustful man. He doesn't even let women go. He relies on his family's power to do evil. He will eventually perish if he does too much evil."

"Hey, Brother Wang, be careful not to be overheard by someone with ulterior motives." The man with a mole on the corner of his mouth kindly reminded.

Wang Chen stood up and said, "Humph, I just said it. If anyone from the Xu family has the guts, arrest me." After hearing this, the other three people all tried to persuade him in a kind way.

"Brother Wang, we are just chatting after dinner, you don't have to take it so seriously."

"The Xu family has been bullying people in Anzhou for so long, and the government can't do anything about it. There are people who can deal with them, and Xu Mu is a good example." Wang Chen said angrily.

"Brother..."

"My mother is still ill, so I won't stay here any longer. Goodbye." Wang Chen said and left without even looking up.

Lin Yiyi was listening to these people talking next door, thinking that she had not beaten Xu Mu lightly yesterday. She thought that she should have crippled him and left him with only one breath.

Wang Ziyan waved in front of Lin Yiyi, "Miss Yiyi, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yiyi came back to her senses, looked at Wang Ziyan and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little angry when I heard about the Xu family's style."

Wang Ziyan became serious when he heard about the Xu family's affairs. He said, "The Xu family has indeed been relying on others for power over the years. I guess they have someone in the capital backing them up. But don't be too angry. When Lord Pei comes, he will not let the Xu family continue like this."

Lin Yiyi suddenly looked at Wang Ziyan seriously and said, "I heard that Xu Mu's life was ruined by the woman in the Red Mansion. If the Xu family caught the woman in the Red Mansion, would they hand her over to the government or deal with her themselves?"

"This..." Wang Ziyan thought about it carefully and said, "Anyway, no matter what, the Xu family will not let that girl go."

Lin Yiyi lowered her eyes. In Anzhou, such a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, there was such a bad rat shit. It really ruined the scenery.

The waiter came in with two jugs of wine. "Sorry for the long wait, there are many guests today, so the dishes may have to wait a little longer. I'll bring the wine first."

As he said this, he placed the wine on the plate on the table and then brought some candied fruit as an apology.

Lin Yiyi nodded and said, "Nothing." Then she looked at the waiter and said, "There are many guests today, you must have heard a lot of gossip."

The waiter scratched his head and said with a smile: "These are just the guests chatting after dinner, just for fun."

Lin Yiyi took out some change from her bosom and handed it to the waiter, saying, "Have you heard about the Xu family?"

The waiter took the silver with both hands and said happily, "Apart from the most corpses on the lakeside today, the story of the young master of the Xu family is the most talked about."

"Tell me more."

The waiter put the silver away and said, "After the Xu family's young master had his penis cut off in the Red Mansion last night, the Xu family heard about it and ordered people to seal off the Red Mansion and interrogate everyone one by one."

After saying this, he shook his head sympathetically, "Those girls in the Red Mansion will probably be whipped."

"What do you mean?"

The waiter explained, "The Xu family has always been lawless. They don't even dare to offend people from the government. If anyone offends the Xu family, they will beat that person to death in the street."

"That's too much." After hearing this, Wang Ziyan slammed the table angrily.

Yuan Er ran up from outside and said anxiously, "Ms. Lin, Miss Jiang had a conflict with someone in the Red Mansion."

After hearing this, Lin Yiyi immediately stood up and walked out quickly.

Prince Yan followed closely behind, and the waiter said anxiously: "Hey, you two, are you ready to eat?"

Atong took out some silver and said quickly, "We're not going to eat anymore. Here's the money." He stuffed it into the waiter's pocket and ran downstairs.

At this time, the Red Mansion was in a mess, and many people gathered outside. Jiang Xue looked at the Xu family members in front of her with sharp eyes. She stepped on the Xu family members and said coldly: "You are really lawless. You want to destroy the Red Mansion in broad daylight?"

Xu Hong looked at Jiang Xue unhappily and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am your aunt." Jiang Xue said and kicked the person under her feet towards Xu Hong.

Xu Hong was protected behind him, while Pei Zhijin came down from upstairs holding Han Qingqing. Jiang Xue looked at the whip marks on Han Qingqing's face and said to Pei Zhijin, "Take her away first, and leave this to me."

Pei Zhijin didn't say anything. He looked at Wen Yu who was standing beside him and said, "Send her back to the inn."

"Yes." Wen Yu immediately put away his sword, took Han Qingqing's hand and walked out quickly.

Seeing Pei Zhijin's extraordinary demeanor, Xu Hong said in a gentle voice, "My hero, I wonder if there is any misunderstanding between us. My son almost lost his life in this red building. Can't I seek justice for my son?"

Pei Zhijin had no expression on his face, but his eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and then he slowly said: "Your Xu family really has total control over Anzhou?"

Xu Hong was a little surprised after hearing this, and then asked with a vigilant look: "Who are you?"

Pei Zhijin walked towards Jiang Xue and drew out the sword at his waist. When Xu Hong saw Pei Zhijin draw his sword, his face changed drastically.

He recognized the sword. It was the sword worn by the commander of the Northern Pacification Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He had heard others mention that the sword was bestowed by the emperor, who had the power to execute first and report later. The sword was often poisoned, and anyone who touched it would have no power to fight back.

Xu Hong could feel the coldness of the sword from a distance, and then he immediately pushed away the men who were blocking him, bowed and said, "It turned out to be Master Pei. Today's incident must be a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Jiang Xue said coldly, "If you say it's a misunderstanding, then it's a misunderstanding."

Xu Hong smiled and said, "I was so angry that I lost my mind. I hope you can understand."

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin, thinking that Pei Zhijin would not engage in direct conflict with others like the others. However, the next second, she saw Pei Zhijin's sword slowly pointing towards Xu Hong.
