Chapter 465 Regret

Seeing that Zhang Jian, a county magistrate, was so out of control in public, the three children took a step back.

Xu Lang, who was used to doing dirty and tiring work, was not afraid at all. He immediately opened Zhang Jian's mouth according to Princess Ankang's order and stretched out his hand to pull out his tongue.

Zhang Jian usually only bullied others, and had never seen such a posture.

Xu Lang's hand holding his chin was as strong as iron, making him unable to move. He was so scared that tears flowed, and finally his head tilted and fainted.

"That's it?"

The three children never thought that they could scare the Chang'an County Magistrate to faint with just a few words.

"Your Highness, are you going to continue?"

Xu Lang asked.

Princess Ankang stood far away, holding her nose, and looked at him carefully. She said with some doubt:

"Is he really dizzy or fake? He is not pretending, is he?"

Hearing this, Xu Lang immediately grabbed one of Zhang Jian's fingers, snapped it, and bent it back neatly.

But Zhang Jian still did not react, so Xu Lang replied:

"He must be really dizzy."

As he said this, Xu Lang silently reattached Zhang Jian's finger, making it impossible to see any flaws.

He learned these tricks in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

How to make people hurt the most, and make it impossible for people to see at all, these are the basic skills of being a flowery eunuch.

"Your Highness, are you going to continue?"

Xu Lang also knew that Princess Ankang just wanted to scare the county magistrate.

But if Princess Ankang wanted to continue, Xu Lang would do it without hesitation.

He still had these simple principles very clearly.

Princess Ankang waved her hand casually and said:

"Forget it, he has fainted, it's meaningless."

"Let's wait until he wakes up tomorrow, then dig out his eyes and pull out his tongue."

Princess Ankang told the horrifying content in a calm tone.

The yamen runners beside him trembled in their hearts, shrinking their necks one by one, and were as cowardly as quails.

"What are you guys still doing?"

"Take your master back."

"When I come here tomorrow, if he is in trouble, I will kill you."

"Also, don't let him run away. If I can't find your county magistrate tomorrow, I will look for you guys."

"Did you hear that?"

Princess Ankang suddenly raised her voice, which frightened the yamen runners to death. Some of the timid ones had weak legs and fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed.

Princess Ankang saw this scene and tried to smile.

"You know what, being a playboy is quite stress-relieving."

Princess Ankang said to herself, and then she led her people away in a hurry.

For a moment, the county government office, which was originally very lively, suddenly became quiet.

After the yamen runners confirmed that Princess Ankang would not come back, they dared to go up to check on Zhang Jian.

"Sir, sir..."

"Are you okay?"

After a long time of tossing and turning, the yamen runners found that Zhang Jian's body was not seriously injured, but his mind was traumatized.

Especially Zhang Jian was frightened in public, and the majesty of the county magistrate was completely lost.

"Boss, what should we do?"

Several yamen runners turned their eyes to the only head of the police present.

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"Keep your mouth shut, this is not something we can get involved in."

"You guys, help the master to the back to rest."

"You two, hurry up and ask a doctor to come over."

"Send a few more people, ask the other police chiefs patrolling the streets to come back quickly, and say there is something important to discuss."

The police chief gave the order irritably.

...

On the other side.

The three little ones sat on the carriage with a stern face, and they couldn't hold it anymore. They held their stomachs and rolled around in the carriage with laughter.

Xu Lang, who was driving the carriage, heard the movement in the carriage, and a smile flashed in his eyes. He quickly drove the carriage away from the gate of Chang'an County Government.

They bullied someone at the doorstep and laughed so arrogantly that even Xu Lang, a eunuch in flowery clothes, felt that they were a bit too much.

The carriage drove a long way away, and the three little ones sat up holding their stomachs that hurt from laughing, and touched the tears in the corners of their eyes.

"That county magistrate Zhang was so frightened that he fainted and peed all over the floor. He is so timid."

Princess Ankang commented on Zhang Jian with a smile.

"Isn't this just a good performance by your Highness?"

"Just a few words made the county magistrate dumbfounded and he didn't dare to talk back."

Yu'er said with a smile.

"You are talking about me. When sister Yu'er showed the jade card, I saw that she was also very impressive."

The two girls flattered each other.

Li Xuan also meowed twice and echoed.

Obviously, the three little ones' attempt was very successful this time.

Their acting was more realistic than the real thing.

I'm afraid even Hou San and Zhao Si, if they were reborn, would have to give way to them.

When it comes to the hegemony of the capital, it's still Princess Ankang.

"Ah Xuan, can we just act like this from now on?"

Princess Ankang asked Li Xuan.

She didn't forget their original purpose.

Chang'an County Yamen was just a small test, the real show is yet to come.

"That's about it, but you have to be restrained, after all, the levels of the following yamen are higher than Chang'an County Yamen."

"Be low-key at the beginning, and it's not too late to play well after you have sorted out the people."

Li Xuan instructed.

Most of the yamen they are going to visit later are in the imperial city, and their levels are not low. There are also imperial guards around them. If they make a big fuss, it will be difficult to play well, and they need to grasp the scale.

To the south of the imperial city, there are many important yamen in the capital, and many ministers' offices are also here, so it is also called the South Yamen.

The Imperial Hospital where Doctor Xue is located is also located in the South Yamen.

As for the North Yamen, it is the northern part of the imperial city, which is the office and living place of Emperor Yongyuan, mainly the Taiji Palace area and the West Palace area as the harem.

In addition, the residence of the now ownerless prince is also located in the North Yamen.

These constitute the main areas of the imperial city.

Princess Ankang heard Li Xuan say that they would go to the South Yamen to replicate their previous performance in the Chang'an County Yamen, and she couldn't help but start to get nervous.

But after having the experience once, Princess Ankang was confident that she could play the role of the rude princess well.

"But before that, let's arrange Zhang Jian first."

Li Xuan wrote with his tail.

After seeing it, Princess Ankang also nodded heavily.

They just went to find trouble with Zhang Jian, and it was definitely not an idea that came up with a slap in the head.

Not long after, the carriage drove to the vicinity of the West Market.

The carriage stopped in a hidden alley, and then a figure rushed out of the alley and slipped directly into the carriage.

In this regard, Xu Lang and other flowery eunuchs turned a blind eye and continued to be alert around.

"Greetings to Your Highness."

"Haha, Xiao Cui, you don't have to be so reserved."

That's right, it was Xiao Cui who hadn't been seen for a long time who had just entered the carriage.

At this time, Xiao Cui was bowing to Princess Ankang in a somewhat awkward posture.

Obviously, these etiquettes were all studied by Xiao Cui herself.

Although the movements were similar, Xiao Cui was not someone who lived in the palace all year round after all, and it was inevitable that she would find it difficult to adapt to such solemn etiquette.

In response to Princess Ankang's words, Xiao Cui shook her head and insisted:

"The proper etiquette should still be there, Your Highness, please rest assured that Xiao Cui will adapt as soon as possible."

Seeing Xiao Cui's insistence, Princess Ankang didn't persuade her much.

"Your Highness, you suddenly asked me to come here today. Do you have any instructions?"

Xiao Cui asked expectantly.

This morning, she received the message left by Xu Lang for her, so she waited here.

Although Xiao Cui continued to collect information for Princess Ankang among the people.

But compared to the beginning, Xiao Cui also clearly felt the difficulty of the task.

After all, most people's lives are dull, where are there so many eye-catching special news.

Therefore, Xiao Cui has not been able to report any useful news to Princess Ankang recently, and she feels a lot of pressure.

Xiao Cui took the high remuneration without missing a penny, and the family's living standard is gradually improving.

But she has not been able to produce the corresponding results, and Xiao Cui herself feels very sorry.

Today, Princess Ankang summoned her, and Xiao Cui was very happy.

She thought about it, no matter what kind of task Princess Ankang assigned her later, she must hand in a satisfactory result.

Xiao Cui made up her mind silently.

Princess Ankang was happy for Xiao Cui when she saw that she was so energetic.

"I called you here today because I want to ask you for help with something."

Princess Ankang said with a smile.

"Your Highness, just say it, Xiao Cui will definitely go through fire and water!"

Not to mention, Xiao Cui is getting more and more educated now.

Li Xuan on the side couldn't help but nod secretly.

"Xiao Cui, don't be so serious, it's not difficult."

Hearing that the task was not difficult, Xiao Cui's eyes flashed with disappointment, but then she cheered up again.

"No, there is no small matter for your Highness!"

Then, Princess Ankang stated her request.

"Collect the unjust, false and wrong cases judged by the Chang'an County Magistrate in recent years?"

Xiao Cui blinked and repeated Princess Ankang's request.

"That's right, I don't think that Zhang Jian is a good person, and I plan to teach him a lesson."

Princess Ankang said righteously.

This is also what Li Xuan meant.

Although they were ordered by the emperor to find trouble, they would naturally occupy the banner of justice when they could.

If you don't occupy the moral high ground, others will.

As for the benefits of holding high the banner, Li Xuan knows it too well.

This is a powerful weapon that can be used to argue even when there is no reason, not to mention that they are in the right.

Since the last time the members of the Jinqian Gang died in the Chang'an County Office, Li Xuan knew that Zhang Jian, the county magistrate, must not be very clean.

If there is evidence of Zhang Jian's crime, it must be collected to make their behavior today justified.

If there is no evidence, then we have to ask professional eunuchs in flowery clothes to come out.

Li Xuan has made preparations for both situations. Regardless of whether Xiao Cui has any gains, Zhang Jian can forget about it this time.

The little cat is very vindictive.

How much trouble did Qingshu Palace cause Jingyang Palace in the past?

Let's start with the old Zhang family to pay off this account.

Li Xuan grinned silently:

"The revenge that was not taken at the beginning, the little cat will definitely return double."

After hearing Princess Ankang's request, Xiao Cui said with a strange look on her face:

"Your Highness, the Chang'an County Magistrate has judged too many unjust, false and wrong cases. There is no need to investigate. Anyone on the street can tell a lot of them."

Li Xuan was "hehehe" here, but when he heard Xiao Cui's words, he was stunned.

"So outrageous?"

Princess Ankang couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Your Highness, you don't know."

Xiao Cui immediately explained: "Although the headquarters of the Jinqian Gang is in Dongcheng, their main activity area is in Xicheng, and Xicheng is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County. Hasn't the Chang'an County Magistrate protected the Jinqian Gang countless times?"

"Then every time it is a false and wrong case."

Good guy, this Zhang Jian is actually the umbrella of the Jinqian Gang?

The three little ones didn't expect that there was such a thing.

"Your Highness, you forgot."

"You took me to the county government office to report the case, and it was you who took me there, so it was Xiong Ye and the gang members of the Money Gang who died."

"If it had been someone else..."

Xiao Cui didn't say anything more, but the three little ones understood what she meant.

"If Your Highness wants the kind of hard evidence that can be used in court, it's not that easy."

"The Chang'an County Magistrate and the Money Gang are very cautious. In recent years, such things have been handled very cleanly, and ordinary people dare not go against them."

"But..."

Xiao Cui said, her face full of determination.

"Xiao Cui is willing to testify for Your Highness. Xiong Ye and others died suddenly in prison, and they certainly couldn't stand up to scrutiny."

"The most important thing is that I should be able to find other witnesses to prove the crime of the Chang'an County Magistrate."

After listening to Xiao Cui's story, Princess Ankang couldn't help but regret not letting Xu Lang continue.

However, looking at Xiao Cui's expression at this time, Princess Ankang couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Xiao Cui, are you really okay?"

Princess Ankang thought it was just a simple matter, but she didn't expect it to involve the Money Gang. She was afraid that Xiao Cui would be in danger in order to complete the task.

"It's okay, Your Highness." Xiao Cui nodded firmly, and then said: "I know that there are several families who have reached a point where there is nothing worth losing. If these people know that Your Highness is willing to uphold justice, they will definitely not give up this opportunity."

Li Xuan didn't expect Xiao Cui to have such a specific idea at this time.

Princess Ankang wanted to say something, but seeing Xiao Cui's firm expression, she opened her mouth and swallowed the original words back, and said:

"Okay, Xiao Cui."

"I'll leave this matter to you."

"I'll come to you tomorrow. If there are any changes during this period, I will send someone to notify you."

Xiao Cui nodded and officially took over the task of Princess Ankang.

After arranging everything, Xiao Cui left the alley first and returned to the West Market to continue setting up a stall with her grandfather.

After Xiao Cui left, the carriage drove out of the alley and went away.

"Ah Xuan, let's stop here today."

"I will accompany you to the South Court tomorrow, okay?"

Princess Ankang suddenly said in the carriage.

Li Xuan looked at Princess Ankang, understood her thoughts, and nodded immediately.

The task assigned by Emperor Yongyuan was not urgent. Preparation for war was a long process. Li Xuan only needed to find those who were secretly disobeying and deliberately delaying in this process.

"Ah Xuan, although Xiao Cui is investigating secretly, I am still a little worried. Would you like to help me take a look?"

Princess Ankang asked a little embarrassedly.

When talking to Xiao Cui before, Li Xuan saw Princess Ankang's worries.

After all, Xiao Cui is just an ordinary girl. It is indeed worrying to investigate such a dangerous thing.

Moreover, Xiao Cui had just started to learn these things, and there were still many immature aspects. It was reasonable for Princess Ankang to worry.

If she didn't spoil her own child, who would she spoil?

Li Xuan immediately agreed to Princess Ankang's request.

Princess Ankang happily picked up Li Xuan and kissed him endlessly, making Li Xuan's face hideous and almost causing a concussion.

"I knew it, Xuan is the best!"
