After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Sure enough, within a few years, because of the series of disasters in Pingzhou, no one in the capital dared to serve as the prefect here, for fear of losing their lives.

Pingzhou became a chaotic city with no one in charge.

Later, Ji Kang joined forces with some local wealthy gentry to suppress the chaos in Pingzhou.

As his parents were wealthy people at the time, they were naturally caught up in the turmoil. They were then blamed for no reason and eventually died tragically in prison.

And he also went through many twists and turns and grew up gradually through stumbling and falling.

But the older I get, the more strange what happened seems to me.

After many years of investigation, no clues were found about the unjust case.

Although the family was wealthy, it was, after all, just an ordinary family that had no worries about food and clothing. If you die, you die. No one cares whether you died unjustly or because of a crime.

Looking at those people who followed Ji Kang through the difficult times, they are all rich and powerful now, and some have even become officials.

He went to the door many times to ask for help, but was beaten out every time.

As soon as he saw their faces, he couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Who knows where their money comes from?

Seeing that Ji Kang was capable, the court promoted him to the new prefect and at the same time changed the name of Pingzhou to Pingjin Prefecture.

Two years ago, the new emperor reassigned Shang Ming as the prefect of Pingjin Prefecture. Ji Kang received the letter in advance and took the initiative to give up the position of prefect to Shang Ming, who was more capable than him.

Comparing the two, Shang Ming has a greater reputation in the capital, while Ji Kang is popular in Pingjin Prefecture.

This is also the reason why most people can't help but lean towards Ji Kang when they have problems.

Even though Shang Ming did a lot for the people in the past two years, it was not as good as the years that Ji Kang protected the people from wind and rain.

To be honest, if Shang Ming had not suddenly appeared in Pingjin Prefecture, Ji Kang, the substitute prefect, might have been able to hold his position more firmly than expected and be more popular among the people.

“You know Ji Kang’s situation, so it’s difficult to touch him.

If there is no definite evidence, then the people standing against you may be the majority of the people in Pingjin Prefecture. "Wei Lin collected his thoughts and said lightly.

He said this not to scare Yuan Qing, but it was the truth.

Yuan Qing also realized this.

A red sedan passed by the teahouse on the street.

Four servants carried it, and the red curtain fluttered in the wind, revealing half of a stunningly beautiful face, with gasps coming one after another.

There were quite a few distinguished people in this teahouse. Even these people, who had seen countless beauties, were amazed by the stunning beauty in the sedan, which showed how rare her appearance was.

"I've seen this girl." Someone in the teahouse suddenly said.

Another person watched the beauty disappear at the street corner, and suddenly heard someone know the beauty's origins, and asked hurriedly: "Brother, can you tell me in detail?"

The man before him sank into his memories, "I once went to the legendary 'Paradise City' under the guidance of a friend."

"But is it the famous den of illicit sex, 'Paradise City' in the North City?" someone asked.

"That's right." The man instantly felt that he was superior to others, and even spoke with a hint of pride. "About half a year ago, the courtesan 'Yuan Ji' from Paradise City was being auctioned off, and I was lucky enough to be there that night."

Yuan Qing was shocked. It seemed as if he was there at the time he described, and was brought into the room by Yan Ji in public.

The incident between Mo Si and Zhang Sun Shang caused such a big stir that everyone must have known about it, so the capital sent a short, dark and thin envoy named Gong Bin.

Romantic affairs always spread the fastest. If she hadn't run away early, the news in the North City that the special envoy from the capital and the courtesan Yan Ji spent a night together would have spread to the capital.

Fortunately, she was dressed as an ordinary girl today. If she appeared here with Gong Bin's appearance, the old man might really recognize her.

Yuan Qing turned his head and continued listening with his ears pricked up.

"Could it be that Miss Yunji is in that sedan chair?"

"Not really." The man spoke slowly, until everyone's interest was piqued before he slowly said, "The one in the sedan just now was another courtesan who was as famous as Yun Ji, Miss Yan Ji."

Is it really her?

Yuan Qing almost thought he had made a mistake, but he didn't expect it was really Yan Ji.

After all, it was just a moment ago, and she didn't observe carefully, so she naturally thought that she was remembering the past and was seeing things.

But what was she doing in Pingjin Mansion?

Could it be that the territory of North City was occupied by "Ji Yun" Lu Huaizhou, and he came here because he couldn't survive there anymore?

"I would be willing to die if I could have a chance to have sex with a beauty like that." Wei Lin suddenly said this.

Yuan Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes.

After paying for the tea, she stood up and was about to leave.

Wei Lin quickly pulled her back, "My dear...my daughter, why don't you sit down?"

"I have something else to do. You go back first. I will go back by myself later." Yuan Qing said anxiously.

Does Ji Kang just not care about this?

Wei Lin stared at the tea bowl in a daze. In that case, he would just stay here and help watch over it.

After waiting for half an hour, Huo Zhengyang did not come out. Instead, he met Yuan Yi who was anxious to look for someone.

"What about her?"

Wei Lin certainly knew who he was asking.

Apart from his beloved master, there is really no one else who can make him so anxious to complete the task and rush to see him.

"Let's go." Wei Lin poked the empty bowl boredly.

"Where did you go?"

"do not know."

"She left alone, and you didn't follow her?"

"They are free to go wherever they want, why should I follow them?"

The conversation between the two ended with Wei Lin's counterattack.

The tea bowl stood up and was held by Wei Lin's fingers. It turned a few circles using the edge of the bowl as a fulcrum, and then fell upside down on the table with a hum.

It seems that one can have so much fun playing with just a bowl, it really seems to be extremely boring.

Yuan Yi frowned and suddenly grabbed Wei Lin's wrist, asking anxiously, "Did she say anything before she left?"

Wei Lin didn't shake it off, and switched to his other hand to play, "He just told me to go back first, and didn't say anything else."

Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, there was a beautiful lady passing by at that time, and then she followed him out.

The beauty’s name seemed to be Yan Ji or Yun Ji, I also…”

Before he could finish his words, he felt his wrist suddenly loosened its restraints, leaving only a very light red mark.

When I looked up again, there was no one in front of me.

He ran away a long time ago.

He smiled to himself and immersed himself in his own fun again.

After hearing what Wei Lin said, Yuan Yi knew where Yuan Qing had gone.

He had just visited the largest brothel in Pingjin Prefecture, Zangxianglou, a few days ago.

The reason why he didn't want to tell Aqing was because he couldn't open his mouth at all. Unexpectedly, Yanji appeared in front of Aqing herself.

Instead of entering directly through the front door, he chose the same method as last time and jumped in through the window on the second floor.
