The bailiff's eyes widened as he stared at Xiaobao, who was shouting at the top of his lungs, as if he had seen a ghost.
Countless people appeared in Cailian Alley like a magic trick. Brothels, pimps, entertainers, prostitutes, patrons, and even passersby popped their heads out of their buildings. Some stopped in their tracks and turned to look, while others opened their doors and walked out. All of them stared at Xiaobao with their mouths agape.
Xiaobao broke out in a cold sweat under the watchful eyes of the crowd. He looked around and pointed in the direction of Zhixi's Restaurant. "Everyone, go take a look!"
The crowd burst into an uproar. The people who were buying things in front of the stalls threw down their wares and ran away. The prostitutes who were interested in the commotion didn't bother with their customers and ran away with smiles on their faces. The pimps and the old pimps also followed curiously.
The patrons couldn't be bothered with their business anymore. They quickly rolled up their curtains and covered their stalls before running away with the crowd.
For a moment, the people of Cailian Alley happily rushed towards Zhixi's building. In just a short while, the alley near Zhixi's building was filled with people.
Some people who came late and were far away heard the commotion and came out to ask a passerby. The passerby was very excited. "What are you waiting for?!
That's the Master's third concubine! Will you ever get to see something like this in your life? "
"Aiyo, let me tell you, the last time Third Concubine went out, I caught a glimpse of her. Aiya, that figure, that face, tsk tsk, it's amazing!
At the time, I thought that with the Master's body, how could he possibly withstand this little vixen's torturous methods?
Look at this, the Old Donkey pulled a millstone and ended up falling into it! "
"Who's so daring?!
How dare they seduce the Governor's beloved concubine! "
"Aiya, dying under a beautiful woman, I'd still be a romantic even as a ghost!
If I had to spend the night with her, I'd be happy to be skinned alive tomorrow! "
"Pfft, look at you! Why don't you take a piss and see!
Look at you with your toad-like appearance and pimples all over your face. You're going to make me puke! "
"Hey, you, I'm just talking. Why do you care about me?"
"If you two want to fight, go to the side. Don't block our way!"
"That's right, that's right. Get out of the way, we're going to catch the adulterers!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's go together!"
The people of Cheng 'an had long been comfortable. Watching pretty girls compete with each other for beauty or gambling at the casino was already considered the New Year. Today, with such a big event, it was even more exciting than the New Year. Everyone was so excited that their faces were flushed. The pimps who were trying their best to squeeze forward had their noses shining so brightly that oil was about to seep out.
The crowd rushed towards Cailian Alley, and soon, the guards in the city were alerted.
Ever since Daqi unified the world, the people lived in peace and contentment. Today, with the exception of the northwest and a small number of regions, most of Daqi had not experienced war for more than a hundred years. Although Cheng 'an was located at the northern border, the northern barbarians worshiped the state religion and studied culture and education. They had long become citizens of Daqi. Furthermore, with the influence of the religion, the city guards were just decorations. Martial arts had long been neglected, and the army was rotten beyond recognition. The city guards who maintained order were even worse.
The captain of the city guards, Sun Jike, was a representative of the rotten army. At this moment, he was carrying a long saber with the hilt hanging upside down. His helmet was askew as well. He rode forward on horseback, burping three times with every sentence he spoke. The smell caused the soldiers around him to cover their noses and turn their heads away.
Sun Jike pushed his way through the crowd. He turned his head and saw a few bailiffs staring at him. He waved his hand and said, "What's wrong?
What happened? "
The bailiffs came forward with a bitter expression and explained the situation. Sun Jike took a deep breath. Was this something he could f * cking interfere with?
Sun Jike's eyes darted around. He knew that he could not interfere with this matter. If he interfered with this matter, he would definitely be in trouble!
But if he did not, he would be severely derelict in his duties and would be punished. Sun Jike's eyes darted around and he waved his hand. "Surround the area!"
The soldiers quickly surrounded Zhixi's residence. However, they had no intention of going in to investigate the case. They only stood outside, preventing the onlookers from squeezing in.
At this time, the governor's residence had also received the news. Governor Zhang Junheng was sitting at home, but he had been cuckolded from the sky. He was stunned for a moment, but then he flew into a rage.
As a dignified provincial official, such a humiliating thing actually happened to him!
How could this be!
Under the governor's furious command, the first to arrive were the governor's private soldiers. After all, this was the governor's private matter.
According to Daqi's laws, a high-ranking official could have two hundred private soldiers, and a hundred private soldiers. Zhang Junheng was a low-ranking official, so he could have a hundred private soldiers.
These 100 people were Zhang Junheng's personal guards, which he had spent many years and a large sum of money to build. Not only were they tall and sturdy, but they were also well-equipped. Not only were their armors polished to a shine, but their weapons were also well-maintained. Even from afar, one could see the cold gleam on their weapons.
As soon as these soldiers arrived, Sun Jike immediately led his own soldiers away, making way for the Prefect's soldiers. These soldiers surrounded Zhixi's Restaurant, their long swords unsheathed, filled with a murderous aura. They surrounded the black-robed man, and the atmosphere was as though they would draw their swords if there was any disagreement.
The black-robed leader knew that he had fallen into Li Chengfeng's delaying tactic but the situation was already chaotic. It was no longer possible for him to retreat quietly. If he wanted to force his way in and kill them, he was more afraid of being caught by a third party if he was in a stalemate with his opponent!
The Zhan family only had ghosts who died in battle, not soldiers who were captured.
Xiaobao, the instigator, took advantage of the chaos to slip away. He hid in a corner and watched from afar.
Xiaobao now knew that he had made a huge mistake in order to save his master. His master … was worse than jumping into a cesspit!
Inside the house, Li Chengfeng and Su Zhixian stared at each other in despair, as if they had nothing left to live for.
Su Zhixian gripped Li Chengfeng's sleeves tightly. "What should we do?"
Li Chengfeng looked up at the sky and sighed. "Xiaobao, oh Xiaobao, you're the one who tricked me!"
Li Chengfeng felt that he was extremely unlucky. All he did was rob the Spiritual Mountain Sect's worshippers!
Why did he have to cause so much trouble?
Could it be that retribution had come?
How was he supposed to get out of this dangerous situation?
Li Chengfeng pursed his lips tightly, his mind racing. I can't die here! If I die, what will happen to my mother?
She'll die too!
I can't leave my mother behind!
