The orphanage was located in a slum area, and usually few wealthy people came here. The noise made by this group of people coming in and out quickly attracted the attention of people around them.

"What's going on here?"

"I heard someone is taking care of those children?"

"How is this possible? Everyone knows what a workhouse is!" a man said in disbelief.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the police are coming."

As soon as these words were spoken, a group of police officers appeared at the entrance of the alley. Everyone rushed to flee the scene, fearing that they would be mistaken for accomplices by the arriving police officers.

The officers ignored the fleeing civilians and rushed straight into the workhouse. "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in the workhouse?"

"Someone who does good things." Chen Jingxi replied.

"Doing good deeds? I think you have bad intentions and want to kidnap and sell young children."

Chen Jingxi laughed. People really laugh when they are speechless. "Are you blind? Or are you just spouting shit?"

"You dare to scold us, you stinky boy, you don't want to live anymore, come, capture him."

"Wait a moment."

The officer said proudly, "Why are you afraid?"

Chen Jingxi put down the bowl in his hand, pointed to the door and said, "Go out and fight, don't hurt the child."

"Hey, who do you think you are? You say you want to fight and we're going to fight? So what if we just hurt a few losers? Arrest them all."

You don't want to listen to advice, right?

Chen Jingxi picked up the iron pot and smashed it on his face, then kicked him out of the door.

He rushed forward again and started kicking and beating him.

The other officers were stunned. Seeing this, the guards knocked the man down in a few moves and threw him out.

Chen Jingxi took a few breaths and felt much better now.

The officer, who was kicked so hard that he couldn't get up, cursed angrily: "How dare you hit an officer? You'll go to jail!"

Chen Jingxi took a step forward.

"What do you want to do?"

"Do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?"

"Chen Er, remember, don't arrest the wrong person."

The officers got up and said, "Okay, wait for me."

At this time, many people gathered outside the orphanage to watch the fun.

"What just happened? Why did all the officers run away?"

"I heard that the people inside beat up the police."

"You're so brave that you even dare to hit the police."

Han Yu looked at the officer who had fled and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger.

Chen Jingxi said: "If they are recruiting people, then we should recruit people too."

"I will go back to the palace and call for help."

"Wait a minute." Chen Jingxi thought for a moment and said, "You don't need a butcher knife to kill a chicken. A chicken knife will do."

"Young Master, what you mean is..." Han Yu looked at Chen Jingxi in confusion.

Chen Jingxi raised the corner of his mouth. "Go find Lu Ting'an and tell him I have an errand that will let him vent his anger. I'll also give him five thousand taels of silver. Ask him if he's willing to come."

When Han Yu heard this, he was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized and couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

At this time, a child came over with a knife and said timidly, "Sir, here is a knife."

Chen Jingxi took it, looked at the rusty knife, and touched the blade. "Good knife."

The child smiled with satisfaction.

Duke Lu's Mansion.

Lu Ting'an was lying on the couch, rolling an egg across his face.

After returning home, he scraped together only 5,000 taels from various sources, and then he started to destroy the plum blossom painting in his father's room.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by his father. He ran too slowly and bumped into the door.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the servant's anxious call: "Master! Master!"

Lu Ting'an was frightened by the sudden sound, thinking that his father had come again, and the egg in his hand slipped.

Seeing that only the servant had come in, he couldn't help but curse: "What are you yelling for! You're calling for the soul!"

The servant hurriedly picked up the egg, wiped it clean with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Sir, calm down. Chen Er is looking for you."

Hearing this, Lu Ting'an stood up suddenly and asked, "What? He dares to come to my house?"

Seeing Lu Ting'an standing upright, the servant asked with concern, "Sir, why are you standing up? Is your leg okay?"

Only then did Lu Ting'an realize that he had stepped on the wrong foot due to his excitement. He grimaced in pain and raised his hand to hit the servant, "Why didn't you remind me!"

The servant looked innocent and thought to himself: How could I have known you would be so excited and use the wrong leg...

Lu Ting'an asked again, "What does Chen Er want to see me about?"

The servant quickly replied, "Chen Er said he has something to ask you to come over."

Lu Ting'an said disdainfully, "Just because he tells me to go over there, I'll go? Am I, Lu Ting'an, so easy to order around?"

The servant added, "Chen Er also said he was willing to pay five thousand taels of silver. This matter can also let you vent your anger."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Ting'an's eyes lit up immediately, and he stood up again. "What? Five thousand taels? He's so nice?"

Seeing this, the servant hurriedly reminded again: "Sir, your legs..."

Lu Ting'an then realized that he had used the wrong leg again, and hit the servant on the forehead again, "Why didn't you remind me again!"

The servant: "..."

Lu Ting'an thought for a moment, "Could it be that he finally realized my reputation and started to get scared?"

Seeing this, the servant quickly flattered him, "Of course, your reputation is well-known in the capital."

Hearing this, Lu Ting'an curled up his lips into a smug smile.

"Sir, are you going?"

Lu Ting'an stroked his chin, pretending to think deeply for a moment. Then he patted the servant's shoulder and said, "Go, of course I must go! Those five thousand taels of silver are just a small matter to me. The important thing is that I have to let him know the consequences of offending me, Lu Ting'an!"

The servant quickly responded, "Yes, sir. I'll go get the carriage ready."

…

Half an hour later.

Lu Ting'an finally arrived, changing carriages and sedan chairs along the way.

He left as soon as he got off the carriage.

"Chen Er asked me to come here?"

Han Yu said: "My young master is just ahead."

Lu Ting'an urged, "Then hurry up and go."

The servant just lifted up Lu Ting'an and was about to leave.

Suddenly a group of officers rushed over and knocked him away.

"ah--"

"Young Master, Young Master."

After a flurry of activity, Lu Ting'an uttered a soul-searching question: "Who was it? Who the hell knocked me flying?"

The chief officer sneered and said, "We are ordered to arrest the imperial criminals. What is your purpose in gathering here?"

"It's you." Lu Ting'an, supported by the servant, jumped up and kicked him. "If you dare to knock me down, I'll kill you."

"Hit me..."
