Looking at the mess on the ground, Meiyan burst into tears. "Master! They're bullying us! They're just taking advantage of their official positions to bully us! Look at what happened to the head manager!"
Qin Kou'er looked at everything in front of her and slowly clenched her hands tightly.
Seeing Qin Kou'er remain silent, no one dared to speak. Everyone automatically and consciously began cleaning up the smashed shop. Others rushed to find a doctor to treat the injured.
"no!"
Qin Kou'er said in a cold voice.
Meiyan was busy nearby when she heard Qin Kou'er say something. She couldn't help but look up at her and ask, "Master, what's not allowed?"
"We can't just let ourselves be bullied!"
After saying that, Qin Kou'er turned around and strode out.
"Master, where are you going?"
Qin Kou'er didn't reply at all this time.
She had made up her mind. Having just arrived in the capital, she absolutely could not suffer in silence, otherwise wouldn't everyone be able to trample on her head? Since Xu Ming didn't want to live a peaceful life, then no one would be able to sleep tonight.
Although Shu Lingxi told her to wait for Lan Qingtian to vent her anger, that didn't mean she needed to wait for someone else to back her up. If a person doesn't have their own stance, then whoever supports them is ultimately useless.
Because fundamentally, no one will respect you, and you have to handle your own affairs yourself.
Qin Kou'er walked to the horse and mounted it directly. Those who followed behind her did not say a word and also mounted their horses, waiting for their master's command.
Qin Kou'er sat on her horse, then pointed ahead with her whip and said sternly, "Stop! No more cleaning up! Everyone, starting in a quarter of an hour, start screaming and crying! The louder the better!"
After saying that, Qin Kou'er didn't say another word, turned around and galloped away.
Aside from Qin Kou'er, almost everyone thought she was definitely going to complain to Lan Xiuyuan this time, because that bastard Lan Linxue was already drunk as a bird.
But after driving for a while, the people behind realized that Qin Kou'er was definitely not going to find Lan Xiuyuan, because the route was wrong.
After a while, Qin Kou'er led her people to the location.
Looking up at the large sign of the Censorate in front of her, Qin Kou'er immediately dismounted and walked quickly to the grievance drum. She picked up the drumstick and began to strike it forcefully.
The deep, resonant sound of drums carried far into the silent night.
Looking for Lan Xiuyuan?
Pooh!
Lan Xiuyuan is the type to take things easy; he won't step in for her until he's fully understood, even if he's currently showering her with sweet words. But if things really come to a head, he'll be far more decisive and thorough than Lan Linxue!
Moreover, if Lan Linxue knew that she went to see Lan Xiuyuan while drunk, there would inevitably be another scene.
Since she had promised him that she would not have any further involvement with Lan Xiuyuan, she would take the right path.
Moreover, Chen Kuangzheng is still on Lan Linxue's side. Since she's going to make a scene today, she'll make sure the whole world knows about it, and see who dares to easily step on her, Qin Kou'er's, plate in the future.
The drums beat loudly, and soon the gate was opened.
A small squad of constables rushed out, pointed at Qin Kou'er, and shouted angrily, "Where did this troublemaker come from, daring to beat the drum in the middle of the night?"
Qin Kou'er gave a cold laugh: "Sir, I have a grievance, can't I even beat the drum in the middle of the night? If I wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid you gentlemen will have to come and collect my corpse!"
When the men saw Qin Kou'er standing before them with an imposing air, showing no fear whatsoever, and dressed in luxurious clothes, not at all like a poor commoner, one of the leaders couldn't help but step forward and tentatively ask, "Where are you from? What's your name? What grievance do you have that warrants beating the drum in the middle of the night?"
Qin Kou'er looked at him coldly, and said slowly from her superior position, "I come from Yangzhou! I am Qin Kou'er, the Pavilion Master of Qin Tian Pavilion. I have a great injustice to accuse Lord Chen of!"
Upon hearing the name Qin Kou'er, the officers immediately began whispering among themselves.
Qin Kou'er's name had already spread throughout the capital since her audience with the emperor two days ago; she could now be described as a legend. Although the matter occurred in the imperial court, news travels faster than a horse can run in the capital, and now everyone knows Qin Kou'er, this incredibly wealthy woman.
At this moment, the legend of the world stood at their doorstep, beating drums and crying out for justice.
As the group was whispering among themselves, another person with a calm expression slowly walked out from inside. Judging from his clothes, he was the advisor.
The head constable, upon seeing this person, quickly went over and whispered, "Master Zhou, the woman outside says her name is Qin Kou'er, and she's here to plead her case to our Lord Chen."
Zhou Cong glanced at Qin Kou'er with a stern face, then slowly walked out and asked, "Miss Qin, what injustice have you suffered? Why disturb us so late at night when the court will convene tomorrow morning? Moreover..."
Zhou Cong paused, then pointed to the plaque behind him: "This is the Censorate! Not the county government office. We don't handle disputes involving ordinary people here!"
Qin Kou'er gave a cold laugh. "This must be Lord Chen's advisor! Although I come from the countryside, I still know which yamen takes on which cases! I'm looking for a high-ranking official from the Censorate. Because I'm suing an official, a high-ranking official! Someone even Lord Chen can't handle! So, Advisor Zhou, does what I'm saying mean you're letting me see Lord Chen?"
Zhou Cong looked at Qin Kou'er and remained silent for a long time.
Qin Kou'er wasn't in a hurry; she had plenty of time to linger with these officials tonight.
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, someone slowly walked out from inside.
