Just as Qin Yao was about to open the bolt, the door of the Qi Mansion next door suddenly opened.

A cold shout came from next door.

"Who are you? Breaking into the streets and disturbing the people during curfew is simply a disregard for the law! You are ignoring the laws of the country!"

"Tell your leader to come out, and I will report him to the court tomorrow!"

Qin Yao withdrew her hand from the door bolt, turned around and nodded to Awang in the corner. Things took a turn for the better.

The black cavalry that was parked outside Qin Yao's house retreated one after another and moved to the front door of Qi's house.

Qin Yao moved to the east wall, and Awang handed her a ladder in time. She stepped on it quietly and through the courtyard wall, she could see the situation in front of the gate of the Qi family next door.

Qi Yushi, who was nearly forty years old and in the prime of his life, stood alone in the middle of the street, blocking a group of black cavalry in front of him. Behind him was the butler holding a lantern, trembling with fear but holding on.

The posture was like a one-man-blockade against ten thousand.

Soon, someone from the Black Riders came forward to ask who he was and what his identity was. Even the Black Riders from the Prince's Mansion dared to stop him.

Qin Yao had dealt with those Black Knights before, including their boss Bai He, and they were all very arrogant and completely unreasonable.

If you want to check and balance them, you can only defeat them.

However, today she was enlightened.

It turns out that these bullies can be dealt with without resorting to violence.

I saw Censor Qi standing alone in the long street. Facing the threats from so many Black Knights, he did not retreat even a single step. Instead, he asked several questions in succession, which confused the Black Knights.

"Since you claim to be here on the orders of the Crown Prince to capture the assassin, then I ask you, where is the order of the Crown Prince's Mansion? Where is the order to lift the ban? If you are here to capture the assassin, then where is the wanted order?"

"You broke into a private house without permission, and do you have a search warrant from the Jingzhao Yin?"

"With only your words that you came here on orders, you dared to ignore the curfew and break into the market without any paperwork or formalities. Such behavior is really arrogant and totally disregards the law!"

"The Crown Prince's Mansion actually raised such a group of people who disrespect the law. We, the Imperial Censors, didn't notice it until today. If we had known this earlier, we should have severely reported you! To rectify the country's laws for Your Majesty!"

In the dim light of the fire, the angry and ferocious face of Censor Qi was clearly illuminated by the fire.

The spit flew onto the black riders and forced them to retreat several steps.

The neighbors were either peeping secretly or climbing over the wall like Qin Yao to observe. Seeing this situation, they all widened their eyes and looked at the middle-aged man standing alone in the long street in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the Qi family is actually quite gentle to their neighbors on weekdays.

At least compared to this group of black knights, the cold words from the steward on a daily basis are nothing to the guys. After all, he didn't say that he would report them to His Majesty to enforce the law.

Liu Ji appeared out of nowhere, peeking out through the crack in the door, and sighed in a low voice:

"It turns out that the Qi family doesn't dislike us, they just dislike everyone equally. We can only look up to them."

Qin Yao and Awang nodded seriously.

"Awang, next time you make cakes, send some to the neighbors. Don't make their children cry out of greed." Qin Yao instructed seriously and solemnly.

Awang, whose hands were shaking after beating eggs all morning, lowered his head in silence.

Is there any humanity left?

"Did you remember it?" Qin Yao asked again.

Awang: “Yes.”

Looking outside the door again, the Black Cavalry was stopped. They wanted to go through but did not dare to step over Censor Qi.

If we were to ask which department is the most difficult to deal with among all the officials, the Censorate would be second to none.

The censors have the duty to give advice and suggestions, which is a golden ticket to immunity from death. If anyone is reported by them, he will be in trouble and it will be difficult to escape.

What is even more troubling is that each of these censors is stubborn and it is impossible to talk to them about human relationships and worldly affairs.

The Black Cavalry could only bluff and ask Censor Qi to wait. The paperwork he requested would arrive later, and then they would see who would be humiliated.

"I advise you to retreat first, sir, to avoid being embarrassed when you find out that the situation is not what you thought!" roared the leader of the black cavalry.

Censor Qi calmly used his sleeve to wipe away the spit that he sprayed on his face, his face completely gloomy, "If I don't see the paperwork, it's illegal!"

He didn't mean to be so stubborn, but as soon as he saw these black riders, he knew that what Wusheng said was probably true.

Mrs. Qin was right. As an imperial censor, this was his duty.

If even censors like them are afraid of the imperial power and only seek to preserve themselves, how can we talk about justice in this world?

"I'm putting this on notice. If you don't see the search warrant today, you won't be able to commit any illegal acts in Kuanzhengfang!"

"Not only that, I will also write to His Majesty and report all of your acts of contempt for the law!"

The leader of the Black Cavalry was furious and drew out his sword. "How dare you, a mere seventh-rank imperial censor! Believe it or not, I will execute you on the spot for disobeying the Crown Prince's order!"

Censor Qi took a big step forward, raised his neck to face the sword, and shouted angrily:

"Okay! If you dare to kill someone in the street, it will prove that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has allowed his men to flout the law and disrespect the laws of the country, which is a capital crime of treason!"

As soon as the word "treason" came out, the leader of the Black Cavalry was so scared that he immediately put away his sword. Looking at Censor Qi who closed his eyes and waited for death, he was angry and annoyed. He paced back and forth around Censor Qi on his horse, but found that he could not do anything to him, and even vomited blood.

Black Knight Leader: "You, you! Just wait!"

He turned around to look at his men and asked whether the person who had gone to Jingzhao Yin to get the paperwork had returned.

The subordinates shook their heads secretly. It was the middle of the night and they had to pull the Jingzhao Yin out of bed and bring him to the yamen before they could issue the formalities. It would take a while for them to get there.

The leader of the Black Cavalry was so angry that he almost died. How could he be so unlucky today to meet such a stubborn censor.

Looking at the not-so-big Kuanzhengfang in the dim light, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

If we delay any further, not only will we fail to catch the assassin, but the patrolling female soldiers in the city will probably come and kill us.

The more you fear something, the more likely it will come.

Just as the Black Cavalry and Qi Yushi were in a stalemate and refused to give in, the sound of metallic weapons clashing was heard from the alley entrance.

The black knights all turned their heads to look towards the alley entrance. Wow, a flash of red jumped out in the night, which was scarier than seeing a ghost.

The leader gritted his teeth and cursed, "You're going to die!"

He quickly called out to his men, "Run!"

Yes, running.

You have to run away. These women in red are just like blood-sucking leeches. Once they get close to you, they can suck half of your life away.

The Princess's guards came roaring over on horseback, holding spears.

Then a scene happened in the alley that shocked the onlookers.

He runs away while she chases him, he can't escape even if he has wings!

He retorted to her and he was furious!

She laughed at his regret, but in the end the long spear scratched across his buttocks, and even the strongest man couldn't help but shed two lines of hot tears.

Censor Qi calmly tidied up his hair that was messed up by the wind, glanced at the wall of the next courtyard, nodded slightly, and turned back to his house.

Qin Yao came down from the ladder and patted Awang and Liu Ji, who were staring at her with wide eyes. "Men, be strong!" (End of this chapter)
