The atmosphere seemed to solidify at this moment.

Chu Bingbing, who was beside him, tried his best to control his breathing voice, sticking his big butt, twisting and moving back quietly, hoping to hide away.

The sword has no eyes. Once the fight starts, these red-eyed guards don’t care who you are. If he gets a knife in his body, he will still survive?

Cao Shan narrowed his eyes and glanced at the guards of the King of the West in front of him. He brought many guards in the royal palace, with more than fifty people, all of whom were elite soldiers, and there were only ten Jinyiwei who escorted Li Dan.

The number of people on both sides is quite different, but what disappoints Cao Shan is that the Jinyiwei has no retreat or fear on his face, and there is not even a trace of emotional fluctuation.

Such people are often the most terrifying because they have put life and death aside and are not even afraid of death. What else can make them surrender?

"It's hard to deal with."

He sighed in his heart, it was a little difficult to get rid of the tiger. The King of the West was indeed well-known. Even the guards under his command were so difficult to deal with. Being able to dominate the country was definitely not as simple as luck.

"What are you doing?"

In this tense atmosphere, a majestic voice came from the direction of the gate.

At the gate of the yamen, an old man in a red official uniform walked out from inside with a few guards.

"Sir, please see Lord Lü!"

Cao Shan saw the old man and went forward to perform the ritual.

"Shilarious Minister Cao, you bring the guards of the royal palace to the gate of our prefecture. What do you want to do?"

Lu Qing looked at Cao Shan and said with a cold face.

"Well--"

Cao Shan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The prince heard that the prince and the King of Zhenxi were somewhat misunderstood, so he rushed to resolve the misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Why did I hear that the prince was assassinating the King of Zhenxi in the street? This is not a simple misunderstanding. If such things are misunderstandings, wouldn't my prefectural office be decorated?"

Lu Qing bluntly reprimanded, but did not leave any affection because of the Chu Palace behind Cao Shan.

Cao Shan's face looked a little ugly, but he did not refute. The most important thing now is how to take out the prince from Lu Qing.

On the side, after seeing Lu Qing coming out, Tang Bao gritted his teeth and shouted timidly, "Teacher!"

"There is only the prefect of Daqian here, no teacher!"

Lu Qing said with a cold face.

"Come, push the three of you in and go to the hall!"

Amid a powerful voice, Li Dan and the other two were taken to the court. Lu Qing slapped the auspicious tree, and the next moment, the whole court became quiet.

"Come on, let's beat the three of you in the hall first to 15 big boards!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Dan and the other two, but even Cao Shan, who was listening on the side, was stunned. He was about to be punished before the trial began?

Cao Shan, who originally planned to wait and see, couldn't sit still. Although he could not kill these fifteen big boards, he would not get out of bed for ten or half a month. In a few days, the prince would join the Imperial Guard. Once injured, this matter would probably be delayed.

Thinking of this, he stood up and bowed to Lu Qing in the court and said, "Mr. Lu, is this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong? Is this official still necessary to teach me how to try the case?"

Lu Qing said expressionlessly.

As the prefect of Qianjing, he knew all the wrongdoings of the three of them in Qianjing over the years. But because he had never reported the case, he turned a blind eye and was too lazy to bother with them. Now he came to the door and didn't beat him up, and his anger would be hard to relieve.

"It is unfair to use punishment before trial!"

Cao Shan also made a desperate attempt at this time. Even if he offended Lu Qing, he had to protect Li Dan's nephew, otherwise he would not be able to explain to his elder sister after he went back.

Lu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Cao Shan. It was the first time that someone dared to say this in front of him after being the prefect of so many years. "Shishou, don't forget where this place is. If I stop my official from hearing the case, I will let someone blow you out and beat you!"

"you--"

Facing the powerful Lu Qing, Cao Shan was unwilling to give up, but he had no choice. Although this old man was only a third-rank official, he was a veteran of two dynasties and soon became a veteran of three dynasties. He also served as the teacher of Emperor Gan, and his disciples and former officials were all over the court and the country, with great influence.

Soon, the three of them were pulled on three benches by the yamen runners and lay down, took off their pants and started beating.

During this process, the three of them neither begged for mercy nor cried, but just endured it silently. When they were halfway through the fight, Tang Bao was the first to faint, and then Li Dan. They were frugal since childhood, and they had never suffered such crying. It was understandable that they fainted.

On the contrary, Cao Jun insisted on surviving. Although he was sweating heavily, he was still in good spirits. In addition to being thick in skin and thick in flesh, he also thanks to Cao Guo’s daily stick teachings.

"Okay, withdraw!"

After the fight, Lu Qing directly withdrew.

The farce about the three people assassinating the King of Zhenxi came to an end.

The Jinyiwei, who was at the trial, didn't say much. After all, everyone knew what was going on at that time. Lu Qing beat the three of them, which was considered an explanation to Liu Feng. As for the crime of assassinating the king, it was definitely impossible to be established. Even if the trouble continued, there would be no good result.

······

On the other hand, Liu Feng and a group of people returned to the mansion located in the south of the city, which was not far from the canal outside the city, and within the range of the red-clothed cannon, there was a special escape secret passage.

Just as he entered the door, eunuchs came to the palace and brought a lot of rewards, including the Qin Palace.

Liu Feng did not refuse Li Xi's kindness, and accepted all the things he sent.

Night falls.

Since the time for the ban on Beijing is after midnight, even at night, the entire capital is still very lively, even more prosperous than during the day.

In front of a brilliantly lit brothel in the south of the city, a carriage slowly stopped.

The car door opened, Liu Feng walked out of the carriage and walked into the brothel with a swagger. As soon as he entered the door, a woman came up to him and guided him.

The woman was wearing cheongsam-like clothing, and her design was bolder than cheongsams, and the fabric was saved. The high crosses on both sides of the robe were directly opened to her waist, and she walked with her step and her long white legs were looming.

"Please come in!"

The woman directly led Liu Feng to the door of an elegantly decorated yard and stopped.

Liu Feng looked up at the plaque hanging above the courtyard door, with silver hooks painted on it and the three big words "Anxiangyuan" were written on it.

Anxiangyuan, this place is also well-known in Ganjing, because it is the residence of Bai Mei, the most famous man in the capital. There are only a few people who can enter here.

"Go and drive away all the flies around you!"

When entering the yard, Liu Feng glanced at the surroundings and ordered Zhuang Hai beside him.
