Chapter 51: Lucky Dog



Ah Man, who was standing in front of the second-floor window, tugged at Jiang Si's sleeve and said, "Girl, did you hear that? The officials are going to beat Er Niu to death. Is there any way for its owner to do anything?"

Ever since Yu Qi showed up, Jiang Si had lost his previous composure, and his hands were clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white.

"What?"

Ah Man Fu'e said: "My girl, why are you still distracted? Erniu is about to be beaten to death by those officials."

"No." Jiang Si murmured.

Ah Man's eyes widened: "Why not? Two fists cannot defeat four hands, not to mention Erniu is just a dog, he will definitely not be able to escape against so many officials."

Jiang Si gradually calmed down: "Let's see, its owner should have a way."

Yu Qi was different from other princes. Due to some special reasons, he had lived outside the palace since he was a child, and later he went to the south. This year he should have returned to the capital from the south. Not long after, the unknown seventh prince disappeared from the capital like a flash in the pan.

Naturally, she didn't know Yu Qi at this time in her previous life. She only knew this information after her wedding.

Yu Qi's mother, Concubine Xian, was born in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and was Ji Chongyi's aunt. So, she had to follow Ji Chongyi and call Yu Qi cousin.

Although she was wearing a veil on the wedding day and knew nothing about what was happening outside, she later heard from the gossip of the maids and servants that Yu Qi was coming to attend the wedding.

Concubine Xian had two sons, the fourth prince and the seventh prince.

Even though it was not convenient for Concubine Xian to go back for her nephew's wedding, the Fourth Prince would definitely be present. However, after returning to the capital from the South, the Seventh Prince rarely appeared in public, and had never attended any banquets. People secretly said that this prince had a cold and strange temperament, so when he appeared at the wedding banquet at the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, it greatly satisfied people's curiosity.

It is said that the Seventh Prince was in high spirits that day and drank too much.

Jiang Si was thinking about the past, hiding behind the window and looking at the elegant young man on the street below.

Yu Qi had just returned to the capital, and the officers from the Five Cities Military Department certainly did not know his true identity, but he was never one to suffer a loss, and it would not be easy for others to harm Erniu in front of him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Si became more calm and interested in seeing how Yu Qi would get away.

She held onto the carved window frame, with her face slightly leaning out.

The shabby young man downstairs seemed to sense something and looked in that direction.

At the first startled glance, the young man felt his heart beating like a drum, and his jade-like face was stained with a faint blush.

"Take them away!" Without feeling the turbulence, the leading officer waved his hand, and immediately many officers with knives and guns surrounded Yu Qi and Da Gou.

"Letting a dog do something violent?" Yu Qi's expression returned to normal, and his slightly raised eyes showed a nonchalant smile, "The officer just came, which eye saw me letting a dog do something violent?"

The leading officer sneered, "We are not blind. We just saw your dog throw Master Cui to the ground. This is a vicious dog injuring people. In order to protect the safety of the people, such a vicious dog must be beaten to death!"

When the onlookers heard this, they nodded secretly.

This big dog is indeed a bit scary. It's fun to watch it torment these playboys, but what if it goes crazy and bites someone else...

Yu Qi gently stroked the big dog's head and smiled faintly: "The officer is wrong. My dog ​​will not bite people for no reason. It was forced to defend itself."

At this point, Yu Qi's expression froze, and he said coldly, "These two evil servants intended to harm the imperial officials. Sir, what is the crime?"

"An official appointed by the imperial court?" The leading officer straightened his expression and spoke politely, "May I ask who you are——"

This capital city has nothing much but many officials. A tile falling on the street may hit a fifth-rank official. If you want to live long in this place, you have to be flexible.

Yu Qi ignored the leading officer and pinched the thick hair on the back of Erniu's neck.

Erniu stood up and shook off the dust on his fur, then suddenly raised his two front legs and placed them on the shoulders of the leading official.

The leading officer was terrified.

"Don't panic, sir. Look at the bronze plate on its neck." Yu Qi reminded softly.

The leading officer's face turned pale as he lowered his gaze to the neck of the big dog. He then discovered that the big dog was wearing a necklace. However, because the big dog's hair was too dense, the necklace, which was the same color as the hair, was easily overlooked.

Seeing that the leading officer did not respond, Erniu shook his head impatiently. Suddenly, dog hair flew all over the sky, and the small bronze plate tied on the necklace fell out from somewhere.

The leading officer reached out and flipped over the bronze plate, which read: The Emperor bestows upon you the title of Fifth Rank General Xiaotian…

The leading officer's hand trembled, and the bronze plate fell back.

Erniu woofed in disdain.

The look in the leading officer's eyes when he looked at the big dog was difficult to describe, and he remained speechless for a long time.

Damn, this bitch is of a higher rank than him!

Cui Yi, whose face was covered in blood, was about to explode with anger: "What's going on? Are you going to arrest him or not?"

The leading officer recovered from his shock and waved his hand: "Catch these two people who hid the weapons!"

"What?" Cui Yi was stunned.

There's something wrong with the script!

Seeing that several officers really started to arrest people, Cui Yi grabbed the leading officer by the sleeve and lowered his voice to scold him: "I say, you took the wrong medicine today, you are arresting my people too?"

For Cui Yi and Yang Shengcai, who were the best among the playboys, these officials were old acquaintances, and they had never been so disrespectful to them before.

The leading officer smiled bitterly: "Master Cui, there are so many people watching, we have to go through the motions, otherwise my job will be in jeopardy, and those traitors will probably find trouble with the general."

If this kind of treacherous kid was his son, he would have drowned in the toilet long ago.

"Okay, you can take my people away, but this dog must be killed!"

"That won't do—"

"Why not? Even if this guy is an official appointed by the imperial court, his dog can ascend to heaven with him, so why are you pretending to be his grandson?"

The leading officer was also a little angry, and said calmly: "Mr. Cui, please don't embarrass me. The official appointed by the court is this dog master."

"What?" Cui Yi was confused.

The leading officer took a step forward to whisper something into Cui Yi's ear.

Cui Yi widened his eyes, not at the big dog, but at Yu Qi.

There is only one person in the world whose dog is a fifth-rank official. The identity of the person in front of him is obvious.

As a domineering and yet still living a comfortable life, what is the most important thing? Of course, it is well-informed information!

Cui Yi trembled his lips and suddenly forced a smile at the big dog: "Well, I'm sorry for offending you today."

"Cui Yi, are you mentally retarded?" Yang Shengcai almost dropped his jaw in shock.

Cui Yi wiped the dried blood off his face, dragged Yang Shengcai away and said, "You guys are busy, you guys are busy, I'm going to take this idiot away first."

"Does your skin itch?"

The two men walked away quickly, and the thugs retreated, leaving only two old soldiers crying their hearts out.

Following such a mentally retarded master is such a disaster!

"You——" the leading officer opened his mouth.

Yu Qi shook his head imperceptibly and patted the big dog's head: "Erniu, let's go."

"Miss, Erniu is fine, everyone has left." Ah Man stroked his chest, curiosity rising, "Is Erniu's master an official of the imperial court at such a young age?"

The people downstairs were talking in deliberately low voices just now, so others couldn't hear them clearly.

Thinking of a possibility, Jiang Si smiled: "Maybe, let's go too."

After the noisy crowd gradually dispersed, the master and servant went downstairs and walked slowly towards the Dongping Marquis's Mansion.

It takes several streets to get from Tianxiang Teahouse to Dongping Marquis' Mansion. When the master and servant were walking near Quezi Hutong, they suddenly heard a familiar "woof" sound.

Jiang Si's footsteps paused.

Ah Man looked at the big dog running towards him with a royal blue purse in its mouth and was overjoyed: "Girl, Erniu has brought you money again."
