"Li Dequan, go see what happened?"

Since the last assassination attempt, even if Harigana was very curious, he would not send himself there.

Her appearance is too outstanding, and she has no martial arts skills. If she is targeted by bad guys, it will be very troublesome.

Their identities are not easily exposed now, so it's best to be careful.

Kangxi knew what she was thinking, so when he saw her tiptoeing and looking in that direction, he turned and instructed Li Dequan to go and take a look.

"Yes, sir."

Li Dequan returned in less than half an hour.

"Sir, he is the son of a local official who has taken a fancy to the shopkeeper's daughter."

The girl was engaged, and the official's son already had a wife; the shopkeeper disagreed, so a scene broke out.

Kangxi's face instantly turned ugly. If he couldn't even control his own son, how could he be a good official to take care of the people here?

"go!"

He gave Li Dequan a look, then led Harigana into a teahouse not far away and found a private room with a view of their area to sit down.

"Jiaojiao, be careful."

Seeing that half of her body was about to lean out, Kangxi quickly went to her side and hugged her waist to prevent her from falling.

"I'm here for you, so I'm not afraid."

She said that, but her body had already obediently shrunk back quite a bit with his force.

"Blinded by lust!"

Seeing the young man's aggressive demeanor, he gently shook his head.

His eyes darted around: "Xuan Ye, looking at this scene, what are your thoughts?"

Kangxi was taken aback. After realizing what she was saying, he picked her up and placed her on the table by the window.

"Third Brother, what's wrong?"

Harigana is doing it on purpose. She keeps coming up with mischievous ideas, making men blush or turn red with anger.

No matter what he does, as long as she calls him "Third Brother" in a soft, sweet voice, the two of them can make up as before.

Of course, sometimes calling for Third Brother wouldn't work, but at those times Harigana would shout loudly: "Husband, I was wrong!" and then Kangxi would surrender.

This time, however, she seemed to have miscalculated. After calling out "Third Brother," the man in front of her not only didn't react, but even pulled off her veil and leaned down to kiss her.

"Hmm!"

Harigana hadn't expected him to pull this stunt; she grabbed his collar with both hands and pressed her back tightly against the wall.

The window was open, and you could hear the bustling sounds of vendors hawking their wares on the street.

I've never felt this way before. Every time we get close, it's in a closed environment, even in a carriage, where the doors and windows are closed.

At that time, as long as she didn't make a sound, no one would notice anything unusual.

Anyway, the carriage was already swaying, and Kangxi would even stop and torment her by letting it sway.

So, this was the first kiss in so many years.

In an instant, tension and excitement swept through my entire body.

Soon after, Harigana became weak and powerless. Her hands, which had been clutching his clothes, had somehow wrapped around his neck, allowing the man to easily bully her.

'Knock knock!'

They kissed for an unknown amount of time, and before they knew it, the buttons on their collars were undone, revealing the straps of their bright red undershirts.

Hearing the knock on the door, Harigana's dazed mind instantly cleared, and she reached out to push away the man who was kissing her neck and shoulders.

"Jiaojiao, don't move."

After Kangxi finished speaking, he grabbed her hand and placed it on her head, causing his body to involuntarily straighten up.

"Xuan Ye, someone is here."

Although Harigana knew that Dulan was guarding outside and no one would dare to break in, he was still nervous.

"Yes, I know, let me catch my breath."

Although he was told to take a break, his lips lingered on her neck.

Li Dequan knocked on the door reluctantly, knowing that once the door was closed, his master was like a hungry wolf, never letting go once he had his prey.

Although he didn't hear any unusual noises at the moment, he knew that his master was definitely not idle.

As expected, there was no response after knocking on the door.

He exchanged a glance with Dulan, then quietly led her a few steps back, ensuring that no one would push the door open or hear anything from inside.

They've been doing this for many years, and it's become a tacit understanding.

About fifteen minutes later, a voice finally called out from inside.

Fortunately, he understood Kangxi; even if he was deeply moved, he wouldn't act recklessly in such a place, he would only try to gain an advantage verbally.

But if it were in the palace, it might be different. Right now, he would definitely have people prepare water and wait for the people inside to come out and bathe.

"Master!"

I pushed open the door and stood at the entrance, not daring to look up or go in.

"explain."

Emperor Kangxi was dissatisfied, so his tone was naturally unpleasant.

"That man was the son of the local prefect, and he had a child late in life."

He usually enjoys beautiful women and good food, but he would never commit murder or arson.

The prefect's wife came from a merchant family, and her household was not short of money.

Whenever her son caused trouble, the prefect's wife would spend a lot of money to settle it.

So even though the people disliked this prefect, because he had money and would never let the victims suffer in vain, almost no one in the entire Dali Prefecture really took it seriously.

Harigana was at a loss for words.

Since Li Dequan claimed it was a large sum of money, it must have been a considerable amount. It's understandable that most families would choose to let the matter drop.

After all, they might never see that much silver in their entire lives.

It's really hard to dislike officials like that.

No, it should be said that I both love and hate it.

Emperor Kangxi naturally understood this principle, but he couldn't ignore such a situation.

Regardless of whether money is used to force people to compromise, wrong is wrong.

If you start by offering money to get people to compromise, that's understandable.

But taking money after the fact is no different from forcing someone into prostitution.

"Take my token and tell him that if this happens again, dismiss him immediately."

"Officials are appointed for the benefit of the people, not for their sons."

Kangxi couldn't investigate the previous events because no one reported them, and he couldn't find them one by one to make them identify the perpetrators.

Leaving aside whether the family that received the money would cooperate, if some unknown girl were to suffer a terrible fate, and he were to go out of his way to find witnesses, unexpected troubles could arise.

"yes!"

Li Dequan acknowledged and withdrew, closing the door tightly behind him after he left.

Just as the door closed, he saw the Empress Dowager reach out and hit the Emperor Emeritus.

I have to say, it was really enjoyable to watch.

Unfortunately, such situations are rare, and even if he does see it, he has to pretend he didn't.

Otherwise, the dog's life would be in danger.
