Zhang Tang looked at Qin Yu with a determined gaze.
"Once His Majesty meets this man, he will know that he is the best candidate to serve as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard! He will definitely be able to handle all kinds of complex situations."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu felt a little suspicious. In the capital, he opened his mouth, wanting to ask something else.
Unexpectedly, Anfu whispered a reminder from the side.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time. We should go."
Qin Yu frowned. This time, An Fu had used half the amount of medicine as last time. If they stayed here too long, they would definitely not have time to go back.
Zhang Tang also hurriedly got up to see them off, while the Zhou Xiong and Zhou Hu brothers had already fed the two horses and led them over.
Qin Yu and An Fu mounted their horses, and he turned to look at Zhang Tang, saying in a deep voice.
"Lord Zhang, I will definitely transfer you back as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this old minister has nothing to worry about."
Zhang Tang smiled slightly and waved to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu nodded, spurred his horse, and turned to leave.
Inside the brothel, when Qin Yu and An Fu returned, Yin Dang and his companion were still working hard in the room.
The two secretly went upstairs and heard a woman scream coming from the private room.
Then came the sinister voice.
"Give me some more strength! Lift it a little higher!"
Yin Dang spewed vulgarities and roared and struggled wildly.
In the private room next door, Wu Chi's voice was also quite loud.
The room was filled with the wicked grins of two men and the pleas of women.
Qin Yu gave An Fu a look, then turned and walked into her room.
Anfu understood and stood quietly at the door waiting.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound gradually subsided until it finally fell silent.
Anfu looked up and saw two people tidying up a set of clothes, walking out of the room with satisfaction.
Upon seeing Anfu standing at the door, a smile appeared on their faces.
"Eunuch An, what a pity, he can't enjoy the greatest pleasures of life."
Seeing the satisfied looks on their faces, Anfu chuckled and said.
"We don't need that, as long as you two have fun."
"Hey, gentlemen, are you done playing?"
Just then, a sound came from outside the door.
The madam walked in with a big smile on her face, followed by two men. As soon as they entered, she quickly helped the two girls out.
The madam waved the handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile.
"You two gentlemen are truly skilled; our young lady is already crying."
"This gentleman over here is much gentler; he only made a fuss for a short while."
The madam pointed to Qin Yu's room and covered her mouth, laughing lewdly.
"I just went to check on him, and he's sleeping. He must be tired."
Hearing the madam's words, Yin Dang and Wu Chi's smiles grew even more smug, their eyes filled with disdain.
It seems this foolish emperor is incredibly lonely! Even so, he still has to leave the palace to hunt for wild food and find a courtesan?
I'm afraid even the two great beauties, the Empress and Consort Jing, wouldn't be able to handle it!
Thinking this, Yin Dang and Wu Chi became even more excited, proudly exchanging their boastful performance and letting out bursts of wicked laughter!
Just then, with a bang, the door was kicked open!
Qin Yu walked out of the room with an icy expression.
He turned and glanced at the two of them, then said in a deep voice.
"What's all the noise about? You've woken me up!"
"Your Majesty...Master Huang, please forgive me..."
The two were thoroughly scolded by Qin Yu, but could only remain silent.
Yin Dang and the other exchanged glances, a hint of a smile in their eyes.
They all knew that this was because the incompetent emperor had failed to perform his duties and was taking his anger out on the two of them.
Qin Yu looked annoyed, turned around and walked downstairs. The four of them left the brothel and immediately headed towards the palace.
Just then, the street ahead suddenly became crowded with people, and people kept rushing forward as if something important had happened.
Qin Yu frowned, stopped, and said softly.
"Anfu, go and see what's going on."
"yes."
Anfu strode quickly into the crowd.
He returned in a hurry a short while later.
"What is it?"
Qin Yu looked at An Fu.
But Anfu's face froze, and he pulled Qin Yu aside.
"Your Majesty, it's better not to look at it. Let's take a detour."
"What? Take a detour? I am the emperor, all the land under heaven belongs to the king, you want me to take a detour?"
Qin Yu's face darkened, and he deliberately shouted at Yin Dang and Wu Chi.
Anfu stood there stunned, only able to watch as Qin Yu turned and walked into the crowd.
Qin Yu pushed through the crowd and squeezed to the front.
The scene before him left him momentarily stunned.
Several soldiers were seen dragging the owner and his employees out of a pawnshop, pinning them to the ground, and beating them severely.
The boss and his employee were beaten black and blue, and begged for mercy repeatedly.
But a short, stout officer next to him had a cold expression, even a hint of mockery.
"Keep hitting me! You think you're right to evade taxes? If you don't pay the taxes in full today, I'll smash up your shop."
"My lord, spare my life!"
The man who looked like the boss was lying on the ground, saying these words, but he didn't dare to move at all.
The people nearby also started making a noisy discussion.
"What kind of era is this? The officials and soldiers are like bandits. Isn't this just extortion and tyranny?"
"Aren't these the police officers? They use the excuse of maintaining public order and collecting taxes, but in reality, they're here to plunder the people's wealth. If you dare not pay, they'll beat you up."
The murmurs of discussion among the crowd displeased Qin Yu, and his expression turned cold.
This is, after all, under the emperor's nose; how dare these patrolmen be so arrogant?
This is even worse than the urban management officers of later generations!
Qin Yu's expression turned cold as he spoke.
"These police officers are truly lawless!"
Qin Yu gave a low, cold shout, but was pulled back by the people beside him. A young man said in a deep voice.
"Young master, are you out of your mind?"
"What's wrong?"
Qin Yu turned around and looked at the other person, puzzled.
The young man said in a low voice.
"Do you know who this man is? Zhu Fei, the military commander of the patrol battalion! He's notoriously ruthless. You dare to insult him?"
Qin Yu's expression changed instantly, and his eyes widened as he stared at the young man. "This is Zhu Fei? How many Zhu Feis are there in the patrol camp?"
The young man paused for a moment, then immediately shook his head and sighed, "You don't even know Zhu Fei? Just ask any of the big families in the capital, and you'll find out which one hasn't been swindled by him!"
After saying that, the young man shook his head and continued watching the show.
Qin Yu stood there, stunned, looking blankly at the short figure.
This man was short and stout, with a face covered in pockmarks.
Could this be the loyal minister and capable general Zhang Tang sought for himself?
This man doesn't seem to have a trace of loyalty or integrity.
Moreover, he was so vicious and greedy that even Sima Lie's lackeys were not as ruthless as loyal ministers and generals.
