Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

He beckoned a little beggar over, slipped him some silver, and asked him to go to the Prince of Qin's mansion to deliver a message. The little beggar happily agreed upon seeing the silver.

After taking the money, he ran off happily, wandering through the alleys for a long time before finally arriving at the gate of the Prince of Qin's mansion, panting heavily.

He didn't dare to go up and ask, so he hid by the wall and peeked out, looking around.

Seeing this, the gatekeeper grabbed him and pulled him over: "Hey... what are you up to, sneaking around there like that!"

The little beggar struggled free and asked cautiously, "Um... is this the Prince Qin's mansion?"

The doorman looked him over curiously. "Yes." He then pointed to the plaque above the door. "Isn't it written here? What can I do for you?"

The little beggar straightened his clothes, pouted, and said, "I can't read. Um, an uncle sent me here. He said that Miss Long hit someone and was arrested by the Jingzhao Prefecture government. He told me to inform you."

After saying that, he tried to slip away, but the gatekeeper dragged him back.

After hearing this, the doorman grabbed his collar and asked, "Is what you're saying true? Where did it happen?"

"Let me go first." The little beggar struggled to break free from the gatekeeper's hand, pouted unhappily, and said, "Many people saw it on the food street by the moat. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself."

After listening, the gatekeeper felt that the little beggar did not seem to be lying, and there was no need for him to come to the gate of the Prince's mansion to talk nonsense. Even if he was illiterate, the Prince's mansion should still know him, and he would not dare to come here to cause trouble.

He dared not delay and rushed in to report, instructing others to watch over the little beggar and prevent him from leaving, and to find him some food, so that he could question him in detail when the prince arrived.

He saw Uncle Zhong in the courtyard and told him about it. Uncle Zhong realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately went to Qinli Courtyard to find Xiao Han.

After hearing this, Xiao Han and Qing Qingying went to the door, and he asked the little beggar to tell the whole story again.

The little beggar happened to be passing by when the incident occurred, and he and several other little beggars hid to the side to watch the commotion. He was fully aware of the entire process.

He organized his thoughts and said concisely, "First, a young master bullied a sister. Then an uncle came—the same uncle who asked me to come here to deliver the message. He protected the sister and was beaten up by the other three young masters. Then the four of them beat the two of them up, and they were beaten terribly."

"Later, a beautiful lady came. She was very angry and gave the four young men a good beating and threw them into the river. Then the officials from the yamen arrived."

After the little beggar finished speaking, Qing Tong gave him some silver and let him go.

After listening to the little beggar's description, Xiao Han took Qing Tong and Qing Ying and rushed to the yamen.

After Xiao Yue pulled them out of the water, he took them back to the yamen. They were covered in mud and unrecognizable, so he had someone wash off the mud and change them into clean clothes.

They even found a doctor from the government office to treat their injuries. The doctor shook his head as he bandaged them, and felt a little pity after seeing their injuries. He roughly understood what had happened and felt that they deserved it.

After bandaging them up, the doctor reported their injuries to Xiao Yue: "Sir, they are all seriously injured. One of them is quite badly injured, with fractures in his hand and ribs. This girl was quite ruthless. I'm afraid their family won't let this go."

"A decision on this matter will have to wait for the testimonies from both sides."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue's eyes narrowed as he pondered. The families of those men were no pushovers: a Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, a Minister of Justice, and a Prime Minister. None of these people were people that young lady could handle.

This matter is indeed significant, and if not handled properly, it could lead to unpredictable consequences. If he weren't here today, the girl alone probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

Although their family members are difficult to deal with, if they insist on arguing even when they are in the wrong, he might as well argue with them.

This wasn't the first time those guys had caused trouble. Each time, someone had to step in and clean up their mess, which is why they became so arrogant and domineering.

They repeatedly cause trouble and don't know how to restrain themselves. They've gotten used to being domineering and arrogant, and someone has to teach them a lesson. Now that they've been beaten up, it's their own fault.

It's a pity he didn't work in the government office before, otherwise he would never have let them get away with it so easily time and time again.

Upon hearing the news, all the families were shocked. Their sons and grandsons had been beaten! This was unacceptable. As a result, the families of each family rushed to the government office in great anxiety.

When the crowd arrived at the yamen, they saw that the men had been beaten so badly that they were unrecognizable, their faces bruised and swollen, and the severity of their injuries was shocking.

Thinking that these young masters, who were usually pampered and spoiled, were now lying there unable to move, the faces of the ladies and their families instantly darkened, and anger spread across their faces.

They glared angrily, cursing and shouting that the assailant must be severely punished and that the wicked person would not be let off easily. They all expressed their determination to make her pay the price.

The once quiet government office was instantly thrown into chaos by their arrival.

The family members of the four纨绔 (spoiled brats) started discussing amongst themselves, with some suggesting that they should unite and put pressure on the government office.

They demanded a satisfactory response from the government and clamored for the perpetrators to be punished to vent their anger.

Everyone's face was so ferocious, they all looked like they wanted to devour people alive, truly proving the saying "Those who are not family will not enter the same door".

The most seriously injured was Cen Guwen, who was not only beaten black and blue, but also had a broken hand and minor rib fractures.

He was lying on the hospital bed groaning in pain. Although the doctor had given him painkillers, they could not suppress his pain.

Their fathers both work in the criminal investigation department. People working in these departments have their own tough methods and attitudes, and they are probably not soft-hearted.

Given their tolerance and tacit approval of their son's domineering behavior, they are clearly not reasonable people, and you will inevitably suffer if you confront them.

They are still on official business in their departments, and someone should have gone to notify them by now. However, they have not yet arrived at the government office. If they arrive today, they will certainly not let the matter rest and will definitely use strong measures to force the Jingzhao Prefecture to severely punish Long Chuqing.

This matter is quite tricky, and it can't be resolved by force alone. Even if they were the ones who started the fight, and even if Long Chuqing and his group are in the right, their sense of justice is as light as a feather in the face of power.

Long Chuqing personally treated Ziguang and Uncle Chen's injuries. When she bandaged Ziguang, she saw that her body was covered in bruises and her face was also badly injured.

The little girl had to suffer this pain for no reason. She cursed inwardly, thinking that the bastards were inhuman and that they had hurt a helpless little girl so badly. She regretted not kicking them a few more times.
