Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Liangchen took Su Qin to visit the Lantern Festival. Originally, Su Qin didn't want to go, but Zhao Liangchen said that he had never been to a lantern festival without anyone to accompany him. Every time he saw his younger brothers and sisters accompanied by their family members to the lantern festival, he was very envious, so he wanted Su Qin to accompany him once.

Su Qin agreed out of pity. In fact, Su Qin had never been to a lantern festival. When she was in the countryside, there was also one in the city on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but her grandmother was not well enough to accompany her and was worried about her going alone, so she had never been.

After all, she is a girl who likes shopping and beautiful scenery. As soon as Su Qin entered the lantern festival, she was attracted by the endless variety of exquisite ancient lanterns and various snacks, which were things Su Qin had never seen before.

Even in the bustling modern world of drunkenness and lights, the night scene created by neon lights is not as beautiful as an entire street covered in exquisitely crafted lanterns. Su Qin was overwhelmed by the sight, and everything seemed new to her.

There were a lot of people at the Lantern Festival. Zhao Liangchen was afraid that Su Qin would be squeezed out, but he was embarrassed to hold Su Qin's hand. After hesitating for a long time, he blushed and stretched out his sleeve and said, "There are too many people here. Please hold my sleeve, otherwise we will be squeezed apart."

Compared to Zhao Liangchen who was shy, Su Qin was very open and frank. She directly held Zhao Liangchen's wrist and pulled him forward while he was stunned.

Su Qin has been working hard to survive since she was a child, and she has never enjoyed a day of relaxation. Although life is not hard in Chanzhou, she is not enjoying life either. It can only be said that she is leisurely and mentally relaxed. After coming to the capital, she is working hard every day.

Today was the first time she relaxed. Su Qin put all the worries behind her and had a great time.

She was rich now and was very generous with her shopping. She bought anything she liked, including fun and delicious things. She bought a lot of them, including more than a dozen exquisite lanterns. For this, Zhao Liangchen even hired errand boys to deliver them to their homes one by one.

Seeing Su Qin happy, Zhao Liangchen also relaxed completely for a rare time and played with Su Qin to his heart's content. He would buy anything that Su Qin looked at for a second without Su Qin asking.

Of course, if they spent money lavishly like this, they would definitely be noticed. Just as they were watching the acrobatics, Zhao Liangchen suddenly felt someone pushing forward from behind, and then he felt someone touching his waist. He was still wearing the coarse cloth purse that Su Qin had given him for the first time. This purse was of great significance to him.

Having been a member of the Imperial Guard for so many years and often patrolling the streets, he naturally knew what was happening. He reacted very quickly and protected Su Qin in his arms, then pressed the hand on her waist from behind and kicked back. He heard a scream and a skinny man knelt at his feet.

After kneeling on the ground, the man was not afraid. Instead, he turned the tables and grabbed Zhao Liangchen's legs, shouting loudly that he was hitting people at will, kicking his legs and breaking them, and demanding compensation from Zhao Liangchen.

His shouts attracted the attention of the people around him, and soon the crowd formed a circle and surrounded them.

Seeing that he had attracted so many people's attention, the man shouted even more proudly: "You are rich, so what? You can beat and scold us poor people at will just because you are rich?"

"Everyone, look, this is a rich young man from some wealthy family, but he broke my leg just because I touched his woman. Please give me some justice. My leg! Is there no justice for us poor people? I can get my leg broken just for visiting a lantern festival. This is killing us poor people."

He put the rich and the poor on opposite sides. Many people present were ordinary people. Today, in order to accompany Su Qin out to play, Zhao Liangchen wore his best clothes, which were the new clothes given to him by Su Qin for the New Year. He also wore a jade crown on his head and looked like a rich young man from someone's family.

When this person shouted like this, the crowd immediately accused Zhao Liangchen of dissatisfaction: "You rich people think you are so great, but you treat the lives of us poor people as nothing. Report this to the police and see if anyone can deal with you, a playboy who takes human life lightly."

"Yeah, how could they be so cruel? They broke someone's leg after just a touch. This is too brutal. Even if we don't report it to the police, we have to deal with it."

Someone in the crowd kept accusing Zhao Liangchen, and there was a hint of pride in that person's eyes. Zhao Liangchen ignored what the crowd said, he first looked at Su Qin's reaction.

Su Qin had no expression and just looked at the man coldly. Feeling that Zhao Liangchen was looking at her, she smiled at Zhao Liangchen soothingly.

Zhao Liangchen felt relieved. He turned around and smiled at the person still lying on the ground: "Are you sure I broke your leg?"

The man thought his plan had worked, and immediately pulled one of his legs to show Zhao Liangchen: "Yes, look at this leg, it won't move, it must be broken."

Zhao Liangchen said gently, "Really? Let me take a look."

As he said that, he took a step forward, raised his leg and stomped hard on the man's leg. A crisp "crack" sound was heard amidst the exclamations.

Then came heart-wrenching cries. The man rolled on the ground in pain, holding his leg. Zhao Liangchen raised his head and glanced coldly at the crowd, saying indifferently, "See? This is how you react to a broken leg. Who with a broken leg could be so calm and ask for compensation?"

The crowd looked at Zhao Liangchen in horror, and retreated when Zhao Liangchen swept towards them, fearing that Zhao Liangchen would kick them if he was unhappy.

At this time, a patrolling imperial guard heard the shouting and pushed through the crowd: "What happened?"

The crowd hurriedly made way for the imperial guards. Someone bravely pointed at Zhao Liangchen and said, "General, this man is so careless about human life that he kicked someone's leg in half."

The leader of the Imperial Guards looked at Zhao Liangchen and wanted to question him, but after seeing who it was, he immediately saluted: "Deputy Commander Zhao."

Zhao Liangchen's expression was very ugly. "How do you patrol? You actually let this kind of scum mix in with the crowd. If others were to encounter this, who knows how many people would be hurt."

The leader immediately apologized: "It is my fault. There are simply too many people here today, and we brothers are limited in manpower. We can't take care of everything at once."

Zhao Liangchen pointed at the man still rolling around and said coldly, "Send him to the Ministry of Justice Jail. He can blackmail me so boldly. He can't be just one person, he must be a gang."

The leader immediately waved his hand, and the guards behind him went to pull the man who was still screaming in pain. That man knew he was going to be taken to the Ministry of Justice prison, and he didn't even care about the pain. He immediately cried and begged for mercy: "Military Master, I was wrong. I didn't mean to do it. I have my mother at home. Please spare me and let me go."

Before he could finish, he was covered in the mouth and dragged away. When the people around heard that Zhao Liangchen was the deputy commander of the imperial guards, they were immediately scared and hid away. The street, which was crowded just now, suddenly became much emptier.

Zhao Liangchen didn't care about other people's reactions, but bent down and looked at Su Qin worriedly and asked: "Are you scared?"

Su Qin smiled and shook her head: "No, I'm not that timid."

Zhao Liangchen was afraid that she would think he was cruel, so he explained: "These are all gang crimes, they are habitual offenders. If we don't crack down on them all at once, who knows how many more people will be killed in the future."

Su Qin nodded: "I understand, you did a good job, it makes people feel safe."

Zhao Liangchen blushed at the compliment and said embarrassedly, "Don't let this ruin our mood. Let's continue shopping."

He pulled Su Qin forward, and Su Qin realized that Zhao Liangchen had been holding her hand. At first, she was holding Zhao Liangchen's wrist, but she didn't know when it became him holding her hand.

She wanted to pull her hand away, but when she moved, Zhao Liangchen held it even tighter. Without even turning his head, he said, "There are too many people. It's dangerous."

Su Qin looked around. No one dared to approach them. She didn't know who had spread the news of what had just happened. Everyone avoided them as if they were afraid of being kicked in the leg. Even the vendors they passed by avoided them. Whenever Zhao Liangchen glanced at them, the vendors immediately held up their merchandise and said fearfully, "This is for the military commander."

Zhao Liangchen's good mood was ruined and his face darkened. What was the point of continuing to stroll around like this?

Su Qin also felt it was boring and whispered, "I'm tired, let's go back."
