Enraged, Qin Kou'er laughed instead and slowly took two steps forward. "Gentlemen," she said, "who ordered you to search my shop and arrest my men? I want to see if all the officials in the capital are so desperate that they want to frame me and steal my money the moment they see me, Qin Kou'er! Show me your evidence!"
As she finished speaking, Qin Kou'er suddenly let out a sharp shout.
The leader was a brainless idiot. He'd been an official for years and always acted arrogantly. He'd never seen a woman dare to stop his horse. Besides, he was out tonight acting like a tyrant, so he didn't have any proof.
Seeing Qin Kou'er's sharp words, he became even more enraged, raised his whip, and charged forward on horseback: "Did I ask you for proof? My whip is proof!"
As he spoke, he rode up to Qin Kou'er and began to lash her with his whip.
Qin Kou'er had seen tough guys before, but never one this shameless and arrogant. She was furious. She grabbed the whip and gave it a sharp shake, throwing the muscular man off the horse.
Then, with a movement that no one could see, he landed directly in front of the man, snatched the whip, and began to lash it without uttering a word.
The man was skilled in martial arts and instinctively tried to protect himself and dodge, but Qin Kou'er's whip was like a venomous snake, striking him repeatedly with excruciating pain, making it impossible for him to dodge.
The skinny man, seeing his commander being whipped on the ground, shouted, "Traitors! Traitors have appeared! Take them down!"
Immediately, the group below began to rush forward.
Qin Kou'er's people rushed over and started fighting with those who were blocking them.
The scene quickly escalated into a commotion.
Meanwhile, the skinny man was still shouting everywhere, "Catch the traitor! Catch the traitor!"
Just then, a group of people galloped over from a distance. As they approached, they whipped everyone, regardless of who they were, clearing a path for the people on both sides.
Qin Kou'er temporarily stopped whipping the man, but then stomped hard on the lump of flesh under her foot, rendering him completely immobile.
Judging from the attire of these newcomers, Qin Kou'er knew at a glance that they must be people of high rank and power, because they were all wearing the imperial guards' uniforms.
Could it be that Lan Linxue, that drunkard, has sobered up?
The thought of Lan Linxue and Jun Yannuo hugging each other's necks and waists immediately made Qin Kou'er reject the idea.
Or perhaps it's Lan Xiuyuan?
But Lan Xiuyuan has never had a guard of this rank by his side!
All of these imperial guards were at least fourth-rank military officers.
Just as Qin Kou'er was squinting and trying to figure out who these people were, another group of people came rushing over from a distance.
This time, however, an extremely luxurious carriage followed behind.
Soon these people rushed up to them, and a man on horseback slowly emerged from the crowd.
He cracked the whip, his face full of indifference and impatience, but it did not diminish his handsome appearance in the slightest.
Qin Kou'er knew she could win this matter today after just one glance.
Because the person who came was Lan Qingtian.
However, before Lan Qingtian could speak, a soft voice suddenly came from inside the carriage: "Wasn't that thieving monkey under Xu Ming's men the one who shouted about traitors? He won't let me get a good night's sleep! Qingtian, go and give him a few slaps, or I won't be able to sleep because I'm so upset!"
With a cold face, Lan Qingtian held the whip, slightly raised her head, and beckoned to the monkey in the distance, whose face had turned pale with fright.
"come over!"
---Aside---
I recommend Qingyin Suiqin's new novel, "The Overbearing Husband Who Steals My Love in a Wealthy Family."
Introduction:
Mu Xiaoyan is a notorious woman in G City. She fell in love with her best friend's boyfriend and then stole her aunt's fiancé. Everyone who mentions her shakes their heads and sighs.
When she was helpless, Mo Shao Chen reached out his hand and said, "If you come with me, they will all shut up."
"Mo Shao Chen, why should I choose you?"
The man raised an eyebrow and looked down at her condescendingly. "I don't like hearing you call me uncle."
Mu Xiaoyan, "..."
Because of this man's single sentence of dislike, Mu Xiaoyan and Mo Shaochen ended up sleeping together every night.
I originally thought that after marriage they were just getting what they needed, a transaction, a couple who were glamorous in public but indifferent in private.
I never expected this man to be such a beast; he insisted on having sex with his wife every night.
