Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Cui Bianxu was very annoyed. The people of Chang'an loved to watch the fun. Nine people died at once...

This has been a hot topic until the Chinese New Year!

Just as he was about to get up and go to the interrogation himself, Ding Yuan walked in from outside: "Sir Cui, if you are looking for the young lady, I know a little bit about her."

"What do you know?" Cong Jinghai was incredulous. Didn't this guy go to Shanghaofang today with a compass he got from somewhere to find a Feng Shui treasure cave for his wife on May 1st?

It was the first time Jiang Shangxian met Ding Yuan. He didn't know what his official position was, so he could only stand up and salute.

"I just saw something strange in Shanghaofang."

Ding Yuan saluted the three of them one by one, then said with a smile, "I don't know what the atmosphere in Chang'an City is like lately. I just dug a Feng Shui acupoint for Madam May 1st and was about to lie down in it to test her, when six men showed up from nowhere, accompanied by nine young ladies."

Give it a try? Feng Shui treasure cave?

Jiang Shangxian felt that he was perhaps still too ordinary. Why did these words sound so strange?

Ding Yuan pointed at Jiang Shangxian, who was pretending to be mute, and said, "Look, he's about the same age as this young lady."

He spoke slowly, like an old man telling stories. Cui Bianxu exhaled and said, "Get to the point."

"I don't know what they're going to do. It has nothing to do with me anyway, so I'll just continue to lie in the pit and feel the feng shui."

The other three people in the room felt their foreheads throbbing and their palms itchy.

Ding Yuan, however, remained leisurely, as if he had no idea that he might be attacked at any moment. "After a while, I heard some indescribable noises. I was so confused that I thought I had arrived at Pingkangfang."

Jiang Shangxian's face wrinkled. Is there no normal person in the Dali Temple? What position does this person hold? Why does he look like such a jerk?

"Oh, you guys don't know, I have lived in vain for twenty years, and only today I know that love between men and women is such an exciting and dangerous thing." Ding Yuan squinted his eyes and shook his head, with a strange expression.

Cui Bianxu's ears turned slightly red. He glanced at Jiang Shangxian, whose face was still hanging down, and scolded him in an awkward voice, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Unfortunately, his scolding this time was even softer than before, and sounded even less intimidating.

Ding Yuan pursed his lips and smiled. "Although this kind of thing isn't usually done in Shanghaofang, it's rare to run into someone like me. I like someone from Shanghaofang, so I thought it would be bad to disturb their interest. I didn't want to look at them without permission. So I lay quietly, waiting for them for a long time. I only crawled out when I heard their footsteps leave. And then, guess what?"

This time, let alone Cui Bianxu, even Jiang Shangxian couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly. If he is so good at setting bait, why doesn't he write a novel?

"Those young ladies are all dead! They were all killed with a single cut to the neck. It was a clean and neat move!"

Ding Yuan was a little excited. He came back just for these nine freshly baked young ladies. If he hadn't gone to find a Feng Shui site for the May 1st young lady today and hadn't brought anyone to eat with him, he would have wanted to cut them open right there.

However, he couldn't move the nine bodies back, so he had to let the people from the Dali Temple do the work for free and help him get them back.

Cong Jinghai took a deep breath, his body stiffened, a bean-sized bead of sweat dripped from his forehead to his temple, and he slowly raised his eyes to look at Cui Bianxu.

As expected, Cui Bianxu's face was frighteningly dark, and his fists were clenched under his sleeves, as if he was suppressing immense anger. Every word he said seemed to come out from between his teeth: "Call someone to go to Shanghaofang!"

He couldn't understand why the Crown Prince was so stupid. Why would he kill someone at this moment? Did he no longer want to be the Crown Prince?

“Where did those people go?”

"I don't know." Ding Yuan spread his hands, looking innocent. "By the time I looked, it had already disappeared."

Cui Bianxu walked out with big strides, recovered from the Mirror Sea, wiped the sweat from his face, and without even glancing at anyone else, hurriedly followed out. This matter was going to get out of hand!

Jiang Shangxian's face turned pale. He suddenly raised his head and stared at the direction they left.

Dead, all dead...

"Don't be afraid, young lady."

Ding Yuan kindly comforted her: "None of them are as pretty as you."

"Thank you."

But it is not necessary.

Jiang Shangxian's teeth chattered uncontrollably, which was extremely creepy. She stood up suddenly and bumped into the small table beside her. She put the table back in its place in a panic, hurriedly saluted Ding Yuan, and ran out.

She wanted to go home! She had to talk to Cui Bian right away!

However, Cui Bianxu might have really gotten into trouble this time. When she rushed outside, all that was left for her were the yamen runners rushing out in panic and Cui Bianxu riding away on horseback.

It's over. I can't go home tonight.

Jiang Shangxian felt completely hopeless. He sat helplessly on the threshold of the Dali Temple, leaning against the door frame. His mind was as confused as a ball of paste mixed with soda from the bottom of a pot.

There was quite a bit of commotion in the Dali Temple tonight. With so many people dispatched twice in a row, the Jinwu Guards also got the news.

Wang Mingqian didn't understand why, he just felt that Cui Bianxu was too fickle. He didn't say the same thing last time. He felt inexplicably unhappy and stopped him halfway.

"Cui Yi, what are you going to do?"

When he got closer and saw Cui Bianxu's face, Wang Mingqian couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, and felt a little regretful about why he was so curious.

This kid has a very unhappy face, and looks like he's looking for someone to vent his anger on anytime and anywhere. I'm afraid I'm the one who's delivering my anger to him, right?

Cui Bianxu did not disappoint him. When he was stopped, his face was filled with anger. He opened his mouth to curse, but when he thought of Jiang Shangxian who was still in the Dali Temple, he pursed his lips and said coldly, "Wang Hui, do you have a lot of free time?"

Sure enough.

Wang Mingqian suddenly felt that everything was settled, and even felt that Cui Bianxu's temper had improved. How could he be so upset just because of such a simple sentence?

He was a little flattered and was about to express his concern and ask if he needed help when he heard the guy continue, "If you're alright, go to the Dali Temple and find a young lady named Jiang. Make sure you send her home safely."

Listening to the tone of this command, if you didn’t know, you would think you were his subordinate!

Wang Mingqian was a little angry and was about to refuse, but he saw the guy tug on the reins, whipped the horse and walked away, leaving only a sentence: "It's just a small thing, can you not do it?"

"You brat!" He spat out two words through his teeth, almost falling off his horse in anger. He knew how this kid could have a good temper? He was trying to order him around!

He orders people around like this: I'm employing you to give you face, and if you don't do your job well, you'll be treated like a useless dog!

"General, Master Cui has gone too far!"

"That's right, we still have to patrol the streets, how can we have time to help him send a young lady?"

Wang Mingqian took a deep breath, glanced at his soldiers, and squeezed his legs together: "Let's go."

The Jinwu Guards thought he was going to continue patrolling the streets, but they didn't expect that their own general would go to the Dali Temple in such a lively manner.
