Xue Zixiao was beaten so badly that he couldn't get up for the time being. He could only look angrily at the group of people who beat him up and quickly retreated.
Xue Zixiao had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, who would have thought that one day he would be beaten up by a crowd on his way to court in the capital?
Wouldn't this make him a laughing stock?
Xue Zixiao frowned and climbed up while enduring the pain in his body. In his current condition, there was no way he could go to the palace to continue attending court.
If this matter was reported, it would give everyone the opportunity to laugh at him.
So the only option was not to report it and to investigate privately.
But who did he offend during this period?
Xue Zixiao searched for candidates in his mind, and couldn't help but suspect that he had gone to the Mu Mansion...
Mu Lianlian's face was scratched by him, and she needs to seek medical treatment during this period. The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice did not ask the emperor for help because he did not want to let such a shameful thing be made public.
So he avenged Mu Lianlian in private?
Xue Zixiao felt that this was most likely the work of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Even though he was the one who hurt Mu Lianlian first, he didn't think that the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice sending a group of people to beat him up was worthy of forgiveness.
After all, it was Mu Lianlian who hurt Mu Shasha first, right?
He clenched his fists, angrily mounted his horse, and hurried back to the general's mansion.
Xue Zixiao's figure disappeared on the street, and a man in a green shirt slowly walked out.
Yan Qing touched his nose. He felt that Yun Xuanting had done so much for Yang Xinwan, and Yang Xinwan should be very touched.
After making some inquiries in the brothel, Liu Congshi asked the painter to draw a rough picture of "Brother Yang".
He looked at the portrait in a daze. He was drunk that day, so he didn't know what "Brother Yang" looked like.
But that day, "Brother Yang" was in the brothel and his appearance had been seen by many people, so if everyone provided a clue, we could roughly know his appearance.
But he had clearly never seen it before, so why did the portrait look so familiar to him?
He shouldn't look familiar, shouldn't I have seen him before?
However, it is possible that it was someone he had met before, but he did not leave an impression on him, otherwise the other party would not have brought him into the private room as a friend.
"It seems that it is me, sir. I tend to forget things, so I don't remember having such a friend..." Liu Congshi rubbed his chin with his fingers.
But when he left the brothel, his expression changed. Something was wrong...
He has met Yang Xinwan!
After thinking carefully, he remembered someone, the person he ran into at the gate of Prince Chi's mansion.
Liu Congshi looked at the person in the portrait carefully again, and it was true! It's the same person!
She clearly claimed to be his friend and brought him into the private room, but when they met again, she pretended not to know him and did not greet him.
Who is this person and what is his purpose?
Liu Congshi handed the portrait to his servant and asked him to help him find this person.
Xue Zixiao's return surprised Mu Shasha and Qiao.
After seeing Xue Zixiao's injured face, Mu Shasha's expression became more and more strange.
"In a place like the capital, who is so bold as to lay hands on you, General?" Mu Shasha wiped the wound on Xue Zixiao's face.
Qiao couldn't help but feel strange: "Master shouldn't be like this..."
Mu Shasha looked at Qiao in surprise: "Little girl, what are you talking about? Are you suspecting that it was Dad who did it?"
Whether the Minister of Justice would avenge Mu Lianlian, mother and daughter had no idea.
But using such a straightforward and simple way to take revenge is not something that a Vice Minister of Justice should do, right?
Xue Zixiao glanced at Qiao. He also suspected the Minister of Justice, but he always felt that it was too blatant and too straightforward.
Mrs. Qiao frowned and said nothing more. The Minister of Justice was too ruthless. This would make the situation of the mother and daughter even more awkward, wouldn't it?
Xue Zixiao said in a deep voice: "They could have used weapons to kill this general, but they chose to use sticks, fists and feet. It is obvious that they wanted to punish me."
Mu Shasha asked in surprise: "Could it be that Brother Xiao has offended more than just my father during this period?"
Xue Zixiao fell into deep thought, wondering, besides the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who else could there be?
Soon, Xue Zixiao thought of someone in his mind.
If Yang Xinwan is also considered one...
Would Yang Xinwan be the one looking for someone to beat him up?
This shouldn't be the case...
Xue Zixiao's face darkened and he didn't respond.
If this matter gets out, it will be a shame in his life!
"Don't mention this matter again. This general will investigate it thoroughly."
Yang Xinwan spent the entire morning studying the poison that Chi Muchu was infected with.
At this time, Yan Qing walked up to her and reported: "Miss, Liu Congshi is taking your portrait and looking for you."
Yang Xinwan was surprised. What did Liu Congshi want her to do?
If she didn't want her identity as the daughter of the Prime Minister to be known, she would have to show up on her own initiative.
Yang Xinwan narrowed her eyes slightly: "Find out where he is now."
After saying that, Yang Xinwan went back to her room.
When Yang Xinwan came out again, she was already dressed in men's clothes.
The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were no longer surprised by Yang Xinwan's behavior.
But Yang Qingyuan from the second house immediately perked up and went out wearing men's clothes again!
Maybe she will do something that is inconvenient for women...
She sent someone to follow Yang Xinwan, trying to find out what tricks Yang Xinwan was playing and who her future fiancé was.
After Yan Qing sent people to locate Liu Congshi, Yang Xinwan rushed over directly.
From a distance, I saw a young man sitting on a roadside stall, shaking his legs and eating melon seeds, looking like a dandy.
And nearby, all his people were looking for her!
At this moment, Yang Xinwan took the initiative to step forward and tapped Liu Congshi's shoulder with a jade fan.
Liu Congshi spat out the melon seeds in his mouth and looked behind him. He was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted.
"It's you! You are Brother Yang!" Liu Congshi stood up excitedly.
Yang Xin fluttered the folding fan in her hand and said, "Yes, Brother Liu, I heard that you were looking for me, so I showed up myself!"
Liu Congshi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Yang Xinwan up and down.
Yang Xinwan has a very cold temperament and should be a cold person who alienates others, but at this moment she took the initiative to stand in front of him and chat with him.
Liu Congshi asked suspiciously, "When did you and I become friends? Why did you take me to the private room?"
Yang Xinwan's eyes flickered, and she said helplessly: "Maybe you know too many people and don't remember me, but I know you!"
"I originally thought that since I failed in the bidding, neither you nor I would be able to get the oiran girl, but it would be good to be able to see the oiran girl up close!"
"So I took the initiative to have you brought into the private room, but who knew you would be so drunk... I really missed the opportunity!"
Liu Congshi spent his days in debauchery and naturally came into contact with many bad friends.
Plus, he often blacked out because of drunkenness, so it wasn't particularly strange that Yang Xinwan, who claimed to know him, appeared out of nowhere...
Instead, he didn't dare tell Yang Xinwan that he didn't remember her at all!
