After Kangxi finished speaking, he quickly walked to Harigana and protected the two of them behind him. The Minister of Revenue, Zhang Ying and Nalan Mingzhu stood in the front to prevent the three from being accidentally injured.

Li Dequan acted quickly. When Kangxi ordered him to arrest someone, he waved his hand lightly, and several imperial guards appeared from nowhere and immediately flew forward.

"How dare you, riding a horse and injuring people in the city in broad daylight? Why don't you get off the horse immediately?"

The Royal Guards' attire is different from that of normal guards, but only people who have seen the Royal Guards can tell the difference; outsiders cannot tell the difference.

When the man on horseback heard the Royal Guards' questions, he raised his whip and swung it at them without saying a word.

The people riding horses behind him also drew their swords and went forward to fight with the royal guards.

People tried to avoid the area, and the small vendors on both sides of the road had to abandon their goods and flee in order to survive.

It’s just a pity for the old, weak and sick who are huddled in the same place and unable to move.

"Wei Yi!"

Kangxi had a cold expression and said only one sentence. Then a man in black clothes and a mask appeared among the fighting people.

With just two hits, the man on horseback was knocked to the ground. The Royal Guards immediately stepped forward and tied him up.

"Let me go, do you know who I am?"

Because the man was captured, the minions behind him were no longer a threat and were captured by the Royal Guards one after another.

At this time, Wei Yi had disappeared.

The leader of the Royal Guards felt bitter in his heart. They couldn't even handle this small matter well, and they would definitely be punished later.

Their kung fu was indeed not as good as that of the man just now, and they were afraid of hurting the civilians during the fight, so they were a little hesitant for a while.

"I don't care who you are! Riding a horse and injuring someone on the street is a violation of the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Take me away and lock me up."

The leader of the Royal Guards was extremely angry and signaled to his men with his eyes that they should not be polite.

"You dare? I am the emperor's brother-in-law. If you dare to arrest me, the emperor will definitely not let you go."

When these words were spoken, not only the Imperial Guards, but even Kangxi himself was stunned.

Brother-in-law, the emperor doesn’t even have a queen, where does the brother-in-law come from?

"You're so arrogant! You said you were the emperor's brother-in-law. But do you know me?"

Nalan Mingzhu walked forward and stood in front of the man.

"You, Master Mingzhu!"

The person pinned to the ground recognized Nalan Mingzhu and his voice suddenly became much quieter.

"Hmm! Not bad, you even know me."

Nalan Mingzhu nodded: "Then tell me about yourself. Whose family are you from? How come I didn't know that the emperor has a brother-in-law?"

The people on the ground didn't dare to speak, and secretly cursed Nalan Mingzhu in their hearts for meddling in other people's business.

"Don't want to tell? It's okay if you don't tell!"

Nalan Mingzhu turned his head to glance at Kangxi, then turned back to the leader of the Imperial Guards and said, "Send him to the Heavenly Prison for strict interrogation.

The current emperor cares most about the people and will definitely not allow such people to abuse their power in the capital."

As he spoke, he called his servant and said, "Everyone, anyone who was injured or had their belongings damaged today because of this person, please ask my servant to come over and register.

I am the Minister of Personnel appointed personally by the Emperor. I will report this matter to the Emperor truthfully and guarantee justice for all the people."

The people cried and knelt on the ground, praising the emperor for his wisdom.

The people sent by Li Dequan also brought several doctors to treat the injured. Fortunately, except for a young man who broke his leg, the others only had minor injuries.

“Husband, don’t be angry.

I don't blame you for this. I just hate those people who were blinded after gaining power and don't know who their parents are.

It's a good thing you can meet him now. No matter what disasters he caused in the past, after this incident, no one will be harmed by this person anymore, right?"

Harigana looked at Kangxi, whose face was ashen, shook the hand that he was holding tightly, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The Queen Mother nodded, then looked at the girl in front of her. She didn't expect that she was so insightful.

He is indeed a simple-minded person.

Kangxi was also comforted by Harigana's words.

How can there be so many things in this world that can have the best of both worlds?

Although he knew that there would be no such thing, but such a thing happened in the capital, under the feet of the emperor. It is conceivable that there might be more darkness in places he cannot see.

"Yes! Madam is right."

With a helpless smile on his face, he watched as the people had been taken away and the small vendors were packing up their things. He also took Harigana's hand and turned to walk forward.

The Empress Dowager also sighed. Perhaps in a few days, the area outside the Meridian Gate would be covered in bright red again.

People are so greedy!

The Minister of Revenue had always admired the Imperial Noble Consort. His admiration was simply because Harigana had a loose purse and donated silver to her from time to time.

After what he had just said, the Minister of Revenue's admiration for Harigana rose to respect and admiration.

It's not easy for a woman to have such a broad perspective.

No wonder the emperor likes her and dotes on her for such a long time.

She is beautiful, gentle, and can share the emperor's worries. Most importantly, she has a full wallet. It would be strange if the emperor did not favor such a woman.

"Let's go to the Minister of Revenue's house first, and then I'll take you to have lunch."

Kangxi calmed down and didn't want to ruin Harigana's good mood because of him, so he tried to make his voice softer.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Harigana did not let go of his hand. Kangxi needed someone to accompany him now, and she had to be a good tool.

He turned his head to look at the empress dowager and met her gaze: "It's nothing," the empress dowager said silently.

By the time Kangxi and others arrived at the residence of the Minister of Revenue, Nalan Mingzhu had already made a big circle and met up with them.

“Your Majesty, this house is very simple, please don’t blame me.”

Harigana nodded secretly. It was indeed quite simple. As a Minister of Revenue, although the living location was very good, the environment could only be described as simple.

Even the Zhang Mansion at the door looked so simple, just a large piece of wood, which looked very economical.

"That's alright. I know your character well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed you to stay in this important position at the Ministry of Revenue for so many years."

Kangxi sat at the top, with Harigana beside him, followed by the Empress Dowager, while the Minister of Revenue, Zhang Ying and Nalan Mingzhu sat on the other side of Kangxi.

"Mingzhu, do you know that person?"

Kangxi was still brooding over what had just happened, and as soon as he sat down, he asked.

Nalan Mingzhu wanted to stand up and report, but Kangxi stopped him: "Just put it this way, there's no need to be so reserved outside."

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Nalan Mingzhu sat down and saluted, then replied, "Your Majesty, I just asked the people in the city. At first, they kept silent, but later an old man told the truth."
