There is a curfew in Dali capital city after nightfall.
Ordinary people, peddlers and laborers are not allowed to stay on the street.
At this moment, the Tingzhu Pavilion in the capital was brightly lit, and Mu Zian had a smile on his lips in a private room.
"Commander Shen, is it because you don't like the wine at Tingzhuxuan?"
Sitting opposite Mu Zian was Shen Congwu, the current commander of the Imperial Guards.
At this moment, Shen Congwu was surrounded by beautiful women, with graceful women constantly handing him drinks.
"General Shen, let me feed you."
"Indeed, General Shen's spring night tonight is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
A blush rose on Shen Congwu's face.
Clearly, he had never experienced such a sensual scene before, so he seemed somewhat uneasy at the moment.
Mu Zian couldn't help but find Shen Congwu's awkward situation amusing.
Standing to the side, Xie Yuyao secretly moved a little closer to Mu Zi'an.
In an instant, a vast expanse of spring sunshine was laid bare before Mu Zi'an.
"It is truly an honor for my humble abode to have the Duke of Mu grace my Tingzhu Pavilion with his presence."
"All expenses for today will be recorded in my account. Please enjoy yourselves."
Upon hearing this, Mu Zian extended a finger and tapped Xie Yuyao's delicate chin.
“Miss Xie is very generous, but today is the Duke’s banquet for Commander Shen, so the expenses should naturally be charged to the Duke’s mansion.”
Looking at Mu Zian's wicked smile, even Xie Yuyao, who had been with countless men, felt her heart pounding wildly.
Rich, powerful, good-looking, and talented.
Mu Zian is practically a living hormone evaporator.
A blush rose on Xie Yuyao's cheeks, and her body went limp as she stumbled towards Mu Zi'an.
Just as Xie Yuyao was about to fall into Mu Zi'an's arms, Mu Zi'an's body slightly shifted to the side.
With her body feeling weak, Xie Yuyao could only lie on Mu Zi'an's lap.
Before Xie Yuyao could react, Mu Zian reached out and lifted Xie Yuyao's neck, laughing.
"What I give you is yours; what I don't give you, you can't take."
These words caused Xie Yuyao's already weak body to completely collapse.
Xie Yuyao looked at Mu Zian and said timidly.
"The Duke of Zhenguo is so domineering."
"I like it very much."
Shen Congwu looked at Mu Zian and said.
"Duke Zhenguo, there's no need for such politeness. It's just that I'm on duty at the Imperial Guard today, so I really can't stay any longer."
Mu Zian chuckled softly, holding his teacup.
"The night is long, so please don't hold back and enjoy yourself. Patrolling the streets is a small matter, and I will take care of it for you."
As he spoke, Mu Zian took out a token from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Shen Congwu picked up the token and saw four large characters written on it: Princess Pingyang.
The only princess in the world with an official title is the Ninth Princess, Xiao Xiuning.
Upon seeing the token, Shen Congwu showed surprise, while Mu Zian remained calm.
"The Ninth Princess has other plans for tonight's patrol, Commander Shen only needs to enjoy himself here."
Shen Congwu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Since it is the Ninth Princess's order, I shall obey."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Congwu put his arm around the waist of a prostitute and said with a smile.
"Tonight, we will not leave until we are drunk."
Mu Zian smiled. No one who could rise to the rank of commander of the Imperial Guards was an ordinary person.
Meanwhile, outside Tingzhu Pavilion, on the empty main street, countless Taoist figures shuttled back and forth in the alleys.
"Put it here."
They brushed on some paste, pasted on a poster, and quickly moved on.
The same thing was happening simultaneously in different streets and alleys throughout the capital.
Posters were displayed in the most prominent and bustling places in the capital.
At that moment, a group of Imperial Guards passing by happened to meet the people who were putting up posters.
The two sides looked at each other, and it seemed that a great battle was about to begin.
The captain of the Imperial Guard immediately lowered his head and then walked past them without making a sound.
The two sides maintained a very tacit cooperation and did not interfere with each other.
Nothing was said that night, and the next morning...
As the first rays of sunlight shone down from the east, the capital city seemed to awaken like a giant beast and begin to function again.
The area in front of the city gates was bustling with people, with countless citizens gathering together and pointing at the side of the city gates.
A large notice was prominently displayed on the city wall.
As the number of people increased, countless people became curious about the contents of the notice.
A young man with a fair complexion and no beard, seeing that the number of people was almost enough, coughed lightly and stepped forward.
"Can any of you understand the text on this notice?"
The surrounding people rolled their eyes at him upon hearing this.
“We are just ordinary people who toil in the fields, how could we possibly understand the contents of this notice?”
"Young man, you look like a scholar, all fair and clean-cut. Why don't you read it to us and tell us what's written here?"
The young man smiled upon hearing this and cleared his throat.
"Please bear with me, everyone, as I will read it to you in detail."
This article is titled: The Family of Beggars!
"Heaven and earth have constant principles, and all people have one destiny. Now I hear that the Pei family of Qinghe drowned their son in grief, killed their good son to make wax figures, and used human bodies to make figurines, carving out bones to create their forms."
"It is said that the living are the most precious, how can one allow the sacrifice of a living person? Driven mad by the loss of his son, he even gouged out young girls to make wax. Suffocating them with molten glue, binding their forms with fat, scraping off their flesh and adorning it with jade, hanging their entrails to decorate them with pearls. Such despicable acts would be shameful even for vipers and lizards, and would not be eaten by demons and monsters!"
As the young man's voice continued to ring out, the noisy crowd in front of the city gate began to quiet down.
At the same time, countless students stood in front of the Imperial Academy.
