Chapter 168 Robbery
Qu Ling didn't want to go to the market with Zhang Yun and the others.
After Song Yuzhen left, she asked Zhang Yun, "Which direction do you want to go, Miss Zhang?"
Zhang Yun subconsciously pointed forward.
"good."
Qu Ling nodded and pulled Chi Yuan to the opposite direction.
Zhang Yun was stunned.
She thought the princess wanted to play with her, but she didn't expect her to stay away from her.
Looking at Qu Ling's receding back, Zhang Yun burst into tears.
Jiang Yanzheng remained silent, but his eyes were fixed on Qu Ling. A faint smile crept up his cheek, revealing an indescribable gentleness.
Qu Ling didn't care about them and just moved among the vendors.
Try everything.
Buy everything.
"Princess, be careful of the unclean things outside." Su Shang said it vaguely, actually he was worried that someone would poison her.
Chi Yuan was holding a bowl of freshly bought sea bass and tofu soup. Qu Ling took a spoon and scooped a mouthful from his hand. "If I'm poisoned, send me to Madam Mu as quickly as possible."
“It’s delicious.”
Qu Ling narrowed his eyes, picked up another spoon, scooped a spoonful and fed it to Chi Yuan.
"It might be poisonous." She blinked her distinct black and white eyes.
Chi Yuan swallowed it without hesitation, lowering his eyes to gaze at her, a blazing fire burning in his usually cold eyes. "I'm willing to die for you."
"No," Qu Ling looked up at her beautiful face, "We want to live long and be together forever."
Just then, a commotion was heard from a distance.
The two looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
They are Jiang Yanzheng and Zhang Yun.
"Girl, give me some silver."
"Please treat me to a meal."
"Good girl..."
A group of ragged beggars rushed in from nowhere and bumped into Zhang Yun.
The girls and ladies at the market were terrified.
"Hurry up and call the government office. Why are there so many beggars here?"
Accompanied by exclamations, almost everyone in the market ran in the opposite direction of Qu Ling.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Yanzheng protected Zhang Yun with a pair of dark eyes.
The beggar at the front grinned and said, "Look at how noble the girl is. Please give us some of the jewelry you are wearing."
Zhang Yun screamed in fear, "All of you go away, go away!"
She brought a lot of servants with her when she went out, but there were too many beggars.
Those street thugs took advantage of every opportunity and reached out to her, snatching away her hairpins, bracelets, and earrings in a blink of an eye.
"How come the daughter of the Imperial Censor has no sympathy at all?"
"Officials have no conscience."
After the beggars snatched everything from Zhang Yun, they fled in all directions.
Zhang Yun fell to the ground, her hair was messy and she was crying heartbreakingly.
Qu Ling's eyes became sharp as he glanced at Chi Yuan.
Chi Yuan understood what he meant, and he quickly caught up with the slowest beggar and kicked him in the knee.
The beggar screamed and fell to his knees. Chi Yuan stepped on his wrist mercilessly.
At the same time, a purple figure passed through the crowd.
Pei Jingming's clothes fluttered and he attacked quickly and fiercely.
The sound of bones cracking can be clearly heard.
The beggar who was kicked down by him hugged his twisted leg and wailed.
Pei Jingming didn't even look at him. He turned around and chopped the other man's neck with his knife, his movements smooth and flowing.
Zhang Yun's crying stopped abruptly.
She opened her tearful eyes and watched the purple-robed young man causing screams every time he attacked.
There was no expression on that face that was so handsome that it seemed like it was not an ordinary person, only the cold light in his eyes.
Before long, the ground was littered with people lying all over the place.
Pei Jingming stopped at this point, and his first reaction was to carefully check the oil paper bag in his arms, "I hope my rose pastry doesn't go bad."
After confirming that the snacks were intact, he looked up and nodded to Qu Ling, his tone familiar, "I just sent someone to report the case to the government office, and the officers will be here soon."
When his gaze turned to Zhang Yun, he returned to his indifference, "You will find what you lost."
Zhang Yun was stunned.
His face was like jade, his eyes were like cold stars at midnight, and he was captivating. This appearance, coupled with his luxurious purple clothes, was like the bright moon falling on earth.
She felt her cheeks getting hot and quickly lowered her head, her ears quickly turning red.
Qu Ling raised an eyebrow, "Oh, Master Pei still has the leisure to buy snacks?"
"You are allowed to enjoy the flowers and the moon, but I am not allowed to buy snacks for others?" Pei Jingming asked back, with a smile on his face that was enough to make people dizzy.
Everyone knows who he bought the snacks for.
The corner of Qu Ling's mouth twitched, "As you wish."
"Did Lord Pei buy the puff pastry rose cake?" Chi Yuan smelled the scent and thought Qu Ling would like it.
"Exactly."
"Where did you buy it?"
Pei Jingming pointed to a stall in the distance and said, "Rong Ji."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
"I have nothing to do here, so I'll take my leave."
Pei Jingming is about to leave.
This made Zhang Yun, who was waiting for him to reach out and pull her up, feel very disappointed.
"Sir, please stay."
Zhang Yun got up without saying a word.
She still wanted to say a few words to him.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jingming didn't even turn his head and said, "Don't thank me, just ask your father to spare no effort to investigate Song Guang."
"But I..."
The purple clothes were particularly eye-catching. Zhang Yun unconsciously took two more steps after him, but she couldn't catch up. She just stared at the figure disappearing around the corner.
Qu Ling and Chi Yuan went to see Jiang Yanzheng at the same time.
But he found that Jiang Yanzheng seemed relieved.
The people from the government office had not arrived yet. Qu Ling stepped on the hand of the beggar with a broken leg and asked, "Who asked you to come?"
The beggar was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely. "Girl, please spare me, please spare me."
Qu Ling sneered and exerted force on his feet. The beggar's wrist bent at a strange angle and a scream resounded through the night sky.
Zhang Yun's face was filled with horror.
"It was a girl in purple," the beggar said with cold sweat, "She gave our boss some money and asked us to come to the market and steal some jewelry from someone."
Song Yuzhen was wearing purple clothes.
"Is there another young man with her who looks similar to him?" Jiang Yanzheng asked.
"I didn't see it clearly, maybe."
Zhang Yun was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
"I just said a few words to her, and she wanted to retaliate in this way."
It's so terrible.
So cruel.
Even with so many servants, she couldn't stop the crowd from pouring in.
If she is not careful, her reputation will be ruined.
She probably won't go out for a long time to come.
When the Jinwu Guards arrived, Qu Ling finished eating the rose biscuits that Chi Yuan had bought while people fell to the ground.
"Princess, gentlemen." Zhao Chongxian patrolled the streets every day with his mind tense.
Keep an eye on suspicious people everywhere.
He didn't expect that a group of beggars would cause trouble for him.
The daughter of the Imperial Censor was robbed by a beggar in the market.
He didn't even dare to think about what kind of punishment he would receive when the general returned.
"Why are you here?" Qu Ling was shocked.
It was clearly Jingzhao Prefecture that Pei Jingming went to report.
"A maid came to me and said that the princess, two adults and Miss Zhang encountered bad guys here. There were too many bad guys and the situation was very dangerous." Zhao Chongxian said.
Qu Ling understood.
This is Song Yuzhen's trick.
