Chapter 97 Hu Aman
Zheng Wenbo knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, for the past few years I have been reducing taxes in accordance with Your Majesty's wishes. I don't know what that traitor means by increasing taxes."
The emperor snorted coldly, "Then investigate! If I find anyone deceiving me, I will execute them!"
Zheng Wenbo's forehead was covered in cold sweat. "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Return to the palace!"
For a time, all the officials in the court felt insecure.
In the evening, Qin Jinzhi sat in the courtyard, with dishes and Daughter's Red wine laid out on the table.
Long Yi and the others returned to report, "Princess, we have returned."
The Dragon Feather Guards circled the outskirts of the capital before returning.
Qin Jinzhi nodded. "Go back and rest. You did a good job on the mission."
Just as the Dragon Feather Guards were about to leave, they heard Qin Jinzhi say, "Next time, let someone else say the lines."
The expression in Long Yi's eyes could only be described as heartbroken!
Is his acting bad?!
It is full of emotion and has distinct layers!
Yun Jin burst into laughter after hearing this.
At this moment, Long Yuwei and the other three, including Yun Jin, suddenly turned serious.
"Someone has entered the mansion!"
They have been working as bodyguards for many years and are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. They are up to no good!
Suddenly, a burly figure leaped out from the rooftop.
"You're that little princess by the emperor's side! Kill you! The old emperor will be heartbroken!"
As he spoke, the man bent down and rushed down.
Long Yuwei was about to step forward when he heard Qin Jinzhi say, "You all go back and rest. They can handle it."
As she spoke, she calmly picked up a bite of food and put it in her mouth.
Qin Jinzhi always acts according to plan; she would never have said such a thing if she wasn't certain.
Moreover, this person is only one person, and the martial arts skills of Yun Jin and the other three are not something that ordinary people can match.
"If anything goes wrong, Princess, just blow the whistle."
As they spoke, the group vanished.
Actually, it didn't disappear; it just hid on the roof beam.
They finally returned to their master's side, and they couldn't let Qin Jinzhi get into danger!
The man only had a broad axe left, yet he still fought with ferocious skill.
For a moment, the group was evenly matched.
However, the man's stamina was quickly exhausted by the four of them.
The lark used its finger as a sword to stab the man in the throat.
"Surrender! Surrender!"
The lark's finger stopped just half an inch from the man's throat.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "I already told you, you can't beat them."
Yun Que looked at Qin Jinzhi with some surprise.
"She's Hu Aman, and she insists on having a match with the four of you."
The burly figure pulled off his mask.
Although her skin is dark, she is definitely a woman!
Yun Jin stepped forward in surprise, "How did you get so big! Teach me!"
She said, "How could the princess allow the Dragon Feather Guards to assassinate His Majesty?"
If they are not careful, even the Dragon Feather Guards will not be able to escape.
The bandits outside the city were actually the princess's men!
Hu Aman replied casually, "Sure, I'll teach you my body-refining method sometime!"
He then swaggered over to the table and ripped the cloth off the wine jar.
"These days have been tough on me!"
She poured two large bowls of wine, each one full.
He pushed a bowl towards Qin Jinzhi.
Qin Jinzhi pushed it back again, saying, "I'm physically weak, the doctor won't let me drink alcohol!"
Hu Aman looked at him with a ghostly expression. "My axe weighs sixty pounds. Even a general would have trouble taking it. Are you weak? It's fine if you don't drink. It's all mine!"
After she finished speaking, she laughed loudly, took all the wine to her side, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"Cool!"
Hu Aman looked at the group and laughed heartily, "Old Qin has nothing to do with the bandits outside the city. They were all recruited by me. I'm the only one who has anything to do with Old Qin!"
For a long time, the bandits outside the city split into gangs and factions, and none of them became a force to be reckoned with.
How can such bandits be taken seriously?
Qin Jinzhi then instructed Hu Aman to recruit all the bandits outside the city.
They were just waiting for an opportunity to make this a big deal.
It went well today.
Qin Jinzhi took a sip of tea. "How many bandits are left outside the city?"
Hu Aman tore off a chicken leg, "Now there are 1,351 people left."
Today, more than half of the bandits have been killed or wounded, and there are still so many left. I wonder if these officials, who are paid by the emperor, feel guilty about it.
"I will personally request to suppress the bandits in three days. You should prepare yourself."
Hu Aman's mouth was stuffed with meat. "Then I'll rob a few more houses in the next few days. You don't know, those rich dogs are rolling in money. It would be against my conscience not to rob them. I'll throw them into the cave in the back mountain. You can find them yourself."
Qin Jinzhi chuckled, "These bandits are all real villains and cannot be allowed to live. But you're doing quite well in your position as the third leader."
Hu Aman swallowed the meat. "If you had contacted me any later, I would have kept those two upstairs waiting until they died!"
Qin Jinzhi clasped her hands in a mock-serious gesture, saying, "I am truly sorry for my rudeness."
Hu Aman retorted in kind, "I wouldn't dare."
Qin Jinzhi tapped her wine bowl against her teacup. "When you're suppressing the bandits, find a chance to slip away. Keep your travel permit and silver in room number one of the Yunlai Inn. Go to Cangzhou and bring Ajiao and the others to the capital."
Hu Aman put down the chicken leg and asked with a look of surprise, "You said the Thousand Bird Guard thing is done?"
Qin Jinzhi kicked a large box at her feet. "His Majesty was almost hit in the face today. If we don't establish a special guard to protect His Majesty, who will be responsible if we encounter a situation like today's, where we are surrounded by enemies?"
Hu Aman opened the box, and there was the very axe that had been thrown in front of His Majesty earlier that day.
She tucked the axe into her waistband and said excitedly, "I can finally make a name for myself! But will those sycophants in the court agree to a woman becoming an official, especially one who protects His Majesty?"
Qin Jinzhi said mysteriously, "To deal with those old fogies in the court, we naturally need to use some secret tricks."
Hu Aman laughed loudly, "It's settled then!"
Although she didn't know what Qin Jinzhi's secret weapon was.
However, she and Gillian Chung have always followed Qin Jinzhi's instructions.
It's like Qin Jinzhi has given all three of them a brain!
If she says it's okay, then it definitely will be okay!
After a hearty meal and drinks, Hu Aman disappeared into the night.
Yun Jin watched her disappearing figure, then looked at the empty dishes on the table.
She looked at the lark and said, "Tell me, if I ate this much every day, could I be like her?"
That imposing physique, that fierce gaze!
The enemy will be intimidated the moment they see it!
So impressive!
Yun Que rolled her eyes and turned to grind ink for Qin Jinzhi.
The establishment of the Thousand Bird Guard is such a serious matter that it certainly couldn't have come from the mouth of a spoiled brat like her.
She still has to wait for someone.
Early the next morning.
Just as Qin Jinzhi got up, Yun Que walked in.
Li Jin is back.
The half-month period was almost up, and he had made it in time.
Qin Jinzhi almost didn't recognize him when she came out to see him.
How haggard!
You look very haggard!
Looks extremely haggard!
Li Jin's face looked noticeably thinner.
Upon seeing Qin Jinzhi, Li Jin immediately threw himself at her feet and burst into tears.
Yun Jin hurriedly asked, "What are you doing? Release the princess at once!"
Qin Jinzhi touched her nose, feeling a little guilty.
Then they heard Li Jin wailing and saying:
"Princess! Old Master Wei's insults are too awful!"
