The waiter became more and more arrogant, and even attracted the shopkeeper.
"Are there any troublemakers?"
The waiter stared at Helian Yu and the others fiercely, and shouted to the shopkeeper: "There are a few freeloaders who insulted the current emperor and Prince Cen. They must be sent to prison and disciplined!"
After he said this loudly, people at the next table moved away one after another, and the timid ones just paid the bill and ran away.
The waiter threatened Helian Yu and the others, "If you don't want to make a big deal out of this, just pay the money! Don't you know that there are princes and princesses visiting Jinling City these days? If you dare to offend the royal family, all nine clans will be chopped off!"
Chang Zuo and Xin Ying looked at Helian Yu.
Helian Yu stood on the chair and covered his mouth with his hands in an exaggerated manner: "Ah! Are you going to exterminate all nine clans?"
The waiter snorted coldly: "If you don't want to exterminate your entire clan, then pay up. Otherwise, you will suffer!"
"That's great!" Helian Yu sobbed without a tear. "My father doesn't love me, and my mother doesn't care about me. She always eats cold rice. If I exterminate the clan, won't that send them to hell?"
Waiter: “…”
Helian Yu blinked but no tears came out, so she pretended to cry.
"Wow... Then we won't pay, thank you."
"How dare you play tricks on us!" The waiter was no fool. He immediately realized that Helian Yu was playing a trick on them. His face was grim. "Beat him! Beat him half to death and send him to jail!"
The shopkeeper came closer and heard what the waiter said. He was no longer surprised and went back to the counter.
Chang Zuo sat upright on the bench and quickly drew his sword, with a cold gleam staring directly into the eyes of the thugs.
Xin Ying had a dagger on his waist. He pulled it out, his face stern as he looked at the thugs warily.
Helian Yu touched his body, raised his hand to pull out the hairpin in his hand, and stepped on the table.
"Master, rest assured, I will protect you!"
Xie Rangchen lowered his eyes and placed his fingers on the teacup: "Did you also use this hairpin a few days ago?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thugs drew their swords and rushed over. Chang Zuo and Xin Ying stood up and started fighting.
Helian Yu obediently got down from the table, crawled into Xie Rangchen's arms, and poked his chin.
"Master, don't you think it's beautiful? It's shining with gold and decorated with red gems. It's super beautiful!"
Xie Rangchen raised his lips: "It is indeed beautiful."
He pressed his fingertips into Helian Yu's palm and drew the word "Pu".
Helian Yu showed off a dimple on his face: "Master is so smart."
"You shouldn't get your hands dirty."
Helian Yu raised his legs and said, "Only if he dies can Jinling's dead end be revived in a short period of time. What's wrong with that?"
Xie Rangchen met her dark eyes and said coldly: "That shouldn't be the case."
Helian Yu pulled Xie Rangchen's hand away, his brows knitted tightly together, his eyes dark and pure, as stubborn and wild as a little animal: "Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices for the greater good."
"He colluded with the Zhou family, joined hands with Jia Xian, resold government grain, forced and killed six women, and caused Shangguan Yun to break her leg. Shouldn't he die?"
"Only if he dies can the Zhou family be implicated, and the Tao Niang behind the Zhou family can be found out. What's wrong?"
After Helian Yu finished speaking, he stuffed the hairpin into Xie Rang's hand and said, "If Master hits me or punishes me, I will admit it all, okay?"
Xie Rangchen held the golden hairpin tightly, hiding the complex expression in his eyes, "There won't be a next time."
"Master, won't you punish me?" Helian Yu was so naive that he said, "Really?"
"No." Xie Rangchen said slowly, "But even if he deserves to be killed, the government laws come first."
"Master, this is to punish evil and promote good, which benefits the country and the people!"
At that time, Chang Zuo and Xin Ying had just dealt with all the killers.
Helian Yu struggled to land, looking for the waiter who had disappeared long ago.
Xin Ying was perceptive and pulled the waiter and the shopkeeper over and threw them in front of Helian Yu.
"Do you have any other thugs?"
The two were extremely terrified, their faces pale: "No, no! No! Lady! Miss! Warrior! Grandma!"
Helian Yu: "..."
"Forget it if you don't have it." Helian Yu took out a hundred taels from the purse on Xie Rangchen's waist and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand. "Well, let's put it this way. We injured someone, so we have to pay compensation. Now send us to the prison."
The shopkeeper was so frightened that she almost fainted. "I dare not! I dare not! Auntie!"
"No relatives allowed!" Helian Yu ordered fiercely, "Hurry up, send us to the prison!"
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he handed the silver to the waiter and asked him to find a few doctors. He then sent Helian Yu and the others to jail.
Walk where you are.
Helian Chi was sitting alone in the garden admiring the moon and drinking wine when Lu Jing hurried over.
"Your Highness, Princess Zhaoyang has been imprisoned and she won't come out no matter how much we persuade her!"
The wine in Helian Chi's cup spilled, wetting his sleeves. He didn't have time to change his clothes and hurried away.
When Helian Chi arrived, Helian Yu was sitting on the straw mat in the cell playing with a mouse.
Xie Rangchen, Chang Zuo and Xin Ying stood in a slightly cleaner place, keeping a distance from her.
Helian Chi's head was buzzing: "Helian Yu!"
The roar has an effect.
The mice were scared away.
Helian Yu put his hands on his hips and said, "Fourth brother, what are you doing!"
"I also want to ask you what you are doing."
Helian Chi gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you go back to sleep at night and go to the prison to make trouble? If you want to come, find a time during the day, who can stop you? And you catch mice for fun. Mice are sick, don't you know?"
"come out!"
"Go back to bed!"
"I don't want to!" Helian Yu pulled at the prison door. "The people in the teahouse said that I cursed the Tian family and my entire clan must be exterminated. I won't go out! I'm waiting to be beheaded!"
Helian Chi had a stomachache and couldn't help but twitch his eyelids: "Helian Yu, don't force me to beat you."
“…”
Helian Yu reluctantly obeyed, let go of her hand, and was carried out of the prison by Helian Chi.
When passing by Lu Jing, Helian Chi lowered his eyes and said coldly: "You slandered the princess and colluded with the government. The teahouse is closed down and you are waiting for your punishment."
"Yes." Lu Jing accepted the order and respectfully sent Helian Chi and Helian Yu away. He raised his hand and said, "Capture Shi Jianan. A team of people will go and seal up the teahouse."
Lu Jing explained a few more things in detail, then turned around and bowed to Xie Rangchen: "I'm sorry for the hardship, Imperial Master. I will get to the bottom of this matter."
"Thank you."
Until the night of March 14th.
[I will be returning to Beijing tomorrow. The case is not yet finished. The Zhou family and Mr. Shi have found out the truth, but Lady Tao has not! Why can't I stay a few more days!] [Oh, by the way, Helian Sheng said that he would come to Jinling after finishing the matter of Tianxing City. What a pity, he has a lot of things to do in Tianxing City and he has no time to come. It's better not to come. His own mother committed a crime and he must be in a dilemma. Speaking of which, I also gave him 50,000 taels of silver so that he could settle the refugees. I am so kind!] [I checked the points. System, you are so kind! You secretly multiplied my points many times! Now I have more than 50,000 points!] [Fourth brother's birthday is the 29th. He should be in Beijing at that time. He definitely can't change the dragon robe. If he really wants it, we can't give it to him! If I really give it to him, Helian Su will chop him to pieces? I am so good to fourth brother!] [Now we have the technology to refine refined salt, but I still want to give him one that suits him. Alas, he likes the throne, we can't just steal the throne for him, it's difficult~] [There are a lot of things in the mall, what should I exchange for... a cannon! Anyway, the Dongning envoy is coming soon, and when the time comes, let the fourth brother pull out the cannon and show off, he will be very happy! With a cannon, he can raze the palace to the ground!] [The cannon costs a thousand points, okay! I still need... one million points to get the elixir of immortality?! Oh, write slowly.] Helian Yu put away the pen, lay on the pillow, and poked the diary: "Saving Daxia, ensuring peace and prosperity for the country and the people, is a long and arduous task..."
