Chapter 636: The Savage Princess

Princess Ankang also heard the noise inside and immediately walked in with her people.

The Taiqing Temple looked deserted from the outside, but it was very lively inside.

Two groups of people were confronting each other. On one side was Taoist Sanxi with a group of Taoist priests, and on the other side was a group of officials.

Judging from their clothes, they should be people from the county government.

Li Xuan remembered that Jinchengfang was under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County.

The previous magistrate of Chang'an had been exiled to Huizhou for his crimes, and I don't know who this new magistrate is?

It just doesn't look like a very smart boss, otherwise why would he take the initiative to cause trouble for Taiqing Temple?

"This is our Taiqing Temple, where else can we go?"

"I advise you not to push people too much, otherwise you will suffer the consequences!"

The Taoist priests on the Taiqing Temple side said indignantly.

The older Taoist priests were relatively restrained. Although their faces were not very good, they did not talk.

On the contrary, the young Taoist priests could not hold back and lashed out at the other side passionately.

"What did you say?"

"What did you young Taoist priests say?"

"You dare to threaten the officials? I think you are tired of living!"

"If you have the ability, do it. I want to see how powerful your Taiqing Temple is."

"If you have the guts, just try to touch me!"

In front of the officials stood a greasy middle-aged man with a big belly. One look at this guy's body shape showed that he was either a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman.

Then, judging from his cursing behavior, he was more likely to be a wealthy businessman. After all, it is hard to say what officials are like in private, but they have to have some face in front of their subordinates, and they would never lead a quarrel.

Moreover, the way this man stretched out his fat face and asked the Taoist priests of Taiqing Temple to hit him was really too much of a punch.

"Who said this is a place for you guys? Open your eyes and take a closer look!"

"It's written clearly on this paper. This piece of land was passed down from my ancestors and has never been sold to you wild Taoists."

"If you know what's good for you, leave my territory quickly. Don't let the officials get violent. It will be embarrassing for everyone."

The man held up a piece of paper in his chubby hand.

Li Xuan had good eyesight and could see clearly that it was a land deed.

The three little ones immediately understood what trouble Taiqing Temple had encountered.

Princess Ankang immediately led people forward.

When they came in, they immediately attracted the attention of both sides.

"Who are you?"

"Taiqing Temple is resting for some reason and does not receive pilgrims. Leave quickly!"

When the fat man challenged Taiqing Temple before, these officials did not say a word. When they saw outsiders coming in, they immediately sent people to drive them out.

But before they could get close, Xu Lang and the eunuchs in flowery clothes stopped them.

The officers stopped immediately when they saw that the momentum was not right, and their hands were on the hilts of their knives.

Other officers also saw that the situation was not right, and hurried over to stand together, making a show of strength.

"Who is in charge?"

Xu Lang asked coldly.

His question immediately made the officers lose a lot of confidence.

Seeing that they were still so straight and spoke so tough, they were probably people they couldn't afford to offend.

When serving in the capital, you can be poor in martial arts, but you can't be blind.

A man walked out of the crowd with a dragon-like and tiger-like step, and his momentum was no weaker than Xu Lang.

He walked out of the crowd and walked towards Xu Lang, and reported his name:

"I am Fang Li, the head of the Chang'an County Police, I don't know..."

Fang Li didn't finish his words, but he had already walked in front of Xu Lang.

When he saw Xu Lang's appearance, his eyes suddenly widened, like a toad.

His originally powerful steps were in disarray. His legs were as soft as noodles, and they got tangled together, tripping him. He fell to his knees with a thud, and then kowtowed without any embarrassment.

"I didn't know you were here. I'm guilty, I'm guilty..."

This sudden change almost made Xu Lang unable to hold back his expression.

He thought to himself that he hadn't shown his name yet, so why did this Captain Fang kneel down first?

Not to mention Xu Lang was dumbfounded, even the officials were confused.

"Boss, who is this lord?"

They also wanted to kneel together, but they didn't know Xu Lang's identity, so they were a little hesitant.

"This is the lord of the police, you must not be rude!" Fang Li hurriedly ordered.

Although Fang Li was only a small captain of Chang'an County, he recognized Xu Lang and knew that he was a flowery eunuch in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

How could ordinary constables like them afford to offend the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? As long as they said that they were obstructing official duties, they would be killed directly. It was not a problem to kill them first and report later.

Fang Li had seen Xu Lang showing his nameplate at the Cross Hill Inn outside the city before, so he recognized him at a glance.

Xu Lang saw that Fang Li recognized him, and quietly put away the nameplate that was already in his hand.

In fact, for them, showing the nameplate was the most satisfying, but in the end, they were all delayed by the people in front of them.

Xu Lang said unhappily: "The nobleman wants to ask you questions, and you should answer whatever you ask!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Fang Li dared not say no.

Seeing that they knew what was good for them, Xu Lang stepped aside and revealed Princess Ankang behind him.

But when the officials saw Princess Ankang, those who had not yet knelt down immediately knelt down.

"Meet Her Highness, Princess, may Her Highness be blessed and safe!"

The officials boasted and knelt down in unison, kowtowing as if pounding garlic.

On the contrary, Fang Li, the head catcher, was stunned for a moment, and then kowtowed slowly.

While Fang Li was kowtowing, he also took advantage of the chaos to sneakily ask his colleagues behind him: "Which princess is this?"

"The one who exiled Magistrate Zhang to Guzhou!" Someone from behind quietly answered.

Fang Li's heart suddenly trembled, and he already knew who was in front of him.

"Princess Ankang!?"

Recognizing the person in front of him, Fang Li kowtowed even harder.

Princess Ankang looked at the official who was kowtowing to her, her expression became strange, and she turned to Li Xuan and Yu'er and asked:

"Has someone impersonated me recently and bullied the city?"

Yu'er shook her head, expressing that she didn't know.

Li Xuan looked at the officials on the ground and then at Princess Ankang.

It was obvious that they were frightened into this behavior after seeing Princess Ankang's little face.

He couldn't help but think to himself: "It seems that the little girl has become somewhat famous now."

"Very good, very good. Not to mention surpassing Princess Luzhao, but at least it's a good start."

Li Xuan also shook his head at Princess Ankang, but his meaning was completely different from Yu'er.

"You must be the one these officials are afraid of."

Li Xuan's message made Princess Ankang narrow her mouth.

She took all her anger out on the officials in front of her.

"Why are you guys so quietly noisy in the Taoist Gate?"

"You have disturbed my princess's happiness. Can you bear the crime?"

Princess Ankang pretended to be unruly, which frightened the officials so much that she was afraid that she would follow in the footsteps of her previous officials and be exiled to Huizhou.

"Don't dare!"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess knows clearly that we absolutely do not dare!"

Princess Ankang saw that they had become kowtow-headed insects, and she just shouted out their injustice.

She turned around and saw another person standing stupidly. She immediately pointed her finger and shouted:

"That fat man over there, why don't you kneel down when you see this princess?"

The fat man, who was quite arrogant at first, is no longer shouting anymore, and is watching in confusion as a group of officials kowtow to a little girl like crazy.

The fat man was suddenly pointed at by Princess Ankang, which made his whole body tremble in fright.

"Little, little, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Although the fat man didn't understand why, he still knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted.

After all, a good man doesn't suffer the immediate consequences, and it seems that Princess Ankang and this group of people are really not easy to mess with.

Fatty was really wrong about this.

"That fat man, you are still kneeling and lingering when you see me. Do you have any objections to this princess?"

After the fat man heard this, a drop of cold sweat couldn't help but slide down his forehead.

He has lived in the capital all his life, but he has never heard of such a tyrannical princess in this dynasty.

According to Daxing's etiquette, even if he met the emperor, he did not have to kneel down. It was already in line with etiquette to bend down and hold his hands.

But the princess in front of her seemed to regard being kneeled down by others as a daily routine.

Not even if you kneel too slowly!

"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare..."

The fat man could only imitate others and kowtow repeatedly to explain.

The officials in Chang'an County were usually very powerful, but today they didn't even dare to fart in front of the other party, they just kowtowed.

Under such circumstances, the fat man did not dare to provoke Princess Ankang at will.

But just because he doesn't provoke her doesn't mean Princess Ankang will let him go.

"Don't you dare?"

"I see that you are clearly disrespectful to this princess!"

"Disrespecting me is contempt for the royal family!!"

"Someone, get it for me!!!"

Princess Ankang pointed at the fat man and said arrogantly.

Li Xuan lowered his head in embarrassment in Princess Ankang's arms.

He had almost forgotten that Princess Ankang had read a lot of messy story books before.

This kind of classic plot is so easy to pick up when starring in Princess Ankang.

Yu'er tried her best to keep her face straight and suppress a smile.

Only Xu Lang and other flower-dressed eunuchs relied on their excellent professionalism and carried out Princess Ankang's orders without any wavering.

They stepped forward, grabbed the fat man's arms, and broke them off with a grinding sound.

The fat man immediately let out a shrill scream:

"ah!!!"

"You, how dare you do this to me?"

"Is there any more royal law, or is there any heavenly law?"

"May I ask which princess in front of you dares to be so indifferent to human life?"

As soon as Fatty saw how ruthless they were, he knew he couldn't be kind and moved out Wang Fa and Tian Li.

Otherwise, if he really falls into someone else's hands, Fatty might not even have any room to resist.

He is very clear about this kind of thing in Yemen.

"Okay, you troublemaker, just listen to me."

Princess Ankang put on an arrogant face and was obviously very into the show.

But as soon as Princess Ankang finished speaking, Xu Lang slapped the fat man on the face, making two crisp sounds, which shocked the fat man and lifted his spirits.

But these sudden slaps in the face made the three little ones stunned.

"Eh?"

Xu Lang was a little embarrassed to be stared at by the three little ones.

Those two slaps just now are completely professional habits. Generally speaking, superiors must cooperate with them if they say so.

But then Xu Lang remembered that Princess Ankang didn't understand these skills at all, and she just accidentally triggered the key voice.

But the current atmosphere was obviously not the time to worry about these details. Princess Ankang calmed down and then reentered the scene, planning to tell the fat man her name.

But at this moment, Yu'er stepped forward and said first:

"Prick up your ears and listen!"

"My master is the thirteenth princess of this dynasty, Your Highness Ankang!"

"You dare to be disrespectful to His Highness, just wait until you kill the nine tribes!"

The fat man's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the master and servant in front of him were so young, but their hearts were as dark as the cat in the princess's arms.

"You, you..."

The fat man was so frightened by their battle that he almost peed his pants.

"Take it down."

Before the fat man could say anything more, Princess Ankang waved her hand and said.

The eunuch in colorful clothes immediately got the order, pressed the fat man and went outside the Taoist temple.

Seeing this horrific scene, the officials couldn't help but fell into silence.

But at this time, Princess Ankang asked them darkly:

"You guys and that fat guy are not in the same group, are you?"

The officials immediately shook their heads like rattles and denied continuously:

"I don't know, I really don't know!"

"Your Highness is aware of it——"

Princess Ankang curled her lips and said to them:

"In that case, all get out of here."

"Don't disturb this princess from offering incense and praying for blessings!"

"Yes, yes..." After hearing this, the officials didn't dare to stay. They ran away one by one, only hating their parents for having two legs.

When the Taoist temple became quiet again, the three little ones looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle.

But before they were happy for long, the Taoist priests came to greet them.

"I'm a poor Taoist, please pay homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

As Taoist Master Sanxi said this, he was about to lead his disciples to kneel down, but was hurriedly stopped by Princess Ankang.

"Taoist Master, you can't do it, you can't do it!"

Princess Ankang was not willing to let such an old man worship her, so she quickly stopped her.

When Li Xuan saw it, he was so happy that he hugged his belly on Princess Ankang's shoulders and laughed.

Apparently Princess Ankang's overbearing look just now was restrained by Taoist Priest Sanxi.

Priest Sanxi is also pitiful. As a dignified third-grade warrior, he has to kneel down to a little princess.

"Taoist Priest Sanxi is quite capable of bending and stretching."

Li Xuan couldn't help but secretly thought in his heart.

"this……"

Taoist Master Sanxi looked hesitant, and the disciples behind him didn't know whether to kneel or not.

Seeing their appearance, Princess Ankang immediately told the reason why she came here.

"Taoist Priest, I heard that someone has caused trouble for Taiqingguan recently, so I came here to take a look."

"I just saw that that group of people didn't look like good people, so I deliberately scared them. You don't have to take it seriously."

After hearing these words, the Taoist priests of Taiqingguan became even more hesitant.

"Ah this..."

They know best what kind of people those people are.

But these people can only kowtow and beg for mercy in front of Princess Ankang. This is not like acting.

After all, regardless of whether Princess Ankang is arrogant or not, those officials are really afraid of her to death.

It’s not like the official servants are cooperating with Princess Ankang in acting, right?

Thinking of this, the Taoist priests at Taiqingguan couldn't help but wonder if Princess Ankang was playing tricks on them.

Because there are many such vile dandies in the story books.

Taoist Priest Sanxi, on the other hand, has a calmer mind. Since Princess Ankang said so, he believed it.

"In that case, I would like to invite Her Royal Highness to come in and have a chat. I might as well offer you a cup of tea to thank Her Royal Highness for your generous help."

"Okay, then I'll ask you, Taoist Priest."

Princess Ankang nodded and followed Taoist Priest Sanxi inside.

The interior of Taiqing Temple is very simple, with no gorgeous pavilions or extraneous decorations.

Everything in the Taoist temple looks very primitive.

Princess Ankang couldn't help but asked curiously: "Taoist Master, I wonder why those people made trouble in the Taoist temple just now?"

Speaking of this, Taoist Master Sanxi couldn't help but sigh:

"The person who was previously detained by Her Royal Highness the Princess is named Niu, and he is a wealthy local businessman."

"A few days ago, Mr. Niu suddenly handed over a land deed, saying that the land in Taiqingguan belonged to his family and asked us to move out as soon as possible."

"Today, we even sued the officials and brought the officials here to drive us away."

After hearing this, Princess Ankang couldn't help but ask: "Is the fat man's land deed true?"

"It seems to be true. It has the official seal on it and the government has recognized it." Taoist priest Sanxi replied helplessly.

At the end, Taoist Master Sanxi added:

"But we also have a land deed with an official seal on it."
