Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 115
[Chapter 115: Meeting Qin Wan Again [6000 words]]
Every grievance has its perpetrator, Lin Xiu hopes that Miss A Ke is a reasonable person, and will not take her anger out on him because of the grudges with Zhao Lingjun.
Chen Ke disagreed with this and said, “We are a rebel party, and it is only natural for her to help the court arrest us.” Lin Xiu
was relieved and said with a smile, “Miss A Ke is clear about grudges, I admire you, I admire you…”
Chen Ke looked at him with a meaningful look and said, “Your fiancée is very powerful…”
…
After a while, Lin Xiu stood alone in the room and breathed a sigh of relief.
The female assassin had left. She came to the Lin Mansion today not to cause trouble for him, but to recruit him.
After Lin Xiu’s efforts, he finally got in touch with her.
As long as the two have a chance to meet in the future, he may be able to obtain the ability of invisibility that he has dreamed of for a long time.
Regarding the ability of the supernatural power, Lin Xiu has the most say.
His personal experience confirmed that the stronger the combat power, the better. Many low-level abilities can save lives or break through at critical moments.
Although concealment is only a mysterious ability and cannot increase his cultivation speed, it is more effective for Lin Xiu than the heavenly ability.
He often needs to go out alone. Although he has the ability to change his appearance, it is not very convenient. It would be great if he could be invisible. With invisibility and flying, he can really come and go without a trace. He
doesn’t know when she will come to him next time. As an assassin, she must be very vigilant. Lin Xiu should not have the opportunity to get her drunk.
Not only that, after realizing that this girl A Ke may come to him at any time, Lin Xiu will be extra careful when he uses other abilities even in a deserted place.
Who knows if she is hiding and peeking at him? Before going out at night, Lin Xiu pretended to go to bed early. After an hour, he quietly left the room and flew into the night. In
the mountains and clouds.
He flew to a certain height, then canceled the flying state and fell freely from mid-air to temper his golden body ability.
With his current strength, even if a warrior below the Earth Rank uses all his Qi, he still has no way to break the defense of the golden body. Facing an Earth Rank warrior, his defense may be a little insufficient, but he can still hold on for a while.
It should be noted that the golden body is not as hard as metal all over.
His eyes are one of his weaknesses, so he must be extra careful when facing the enemy.
The next morning, Lin Xiu went out and walked towards the bun shop.
The old beggar and the peddler had been waiting for him at the door of the Lin Mansion. Lin Xiu glanced at the two and said nothing.
What a professional spy, professional ass, others have been following behind him, and they have silently touched his room, but they didn’t see them. If they encounter real danger, they can’t be counted on.
After arriving at the bun shop, Lin Xiu ordered a tray of buns and a bowl of porridge as usual.
The dog emperor is not here today. He has to attend the morning court every five days. Today happens to be the morning court day. However, at this time, most of the people in the royal capital have gotten up and are busy. He should still be dreaming in the bed of a concubine.
Last time Lin Xiu talked about marriage, he pretended to empathize with her. However, facing the concubines sent to the palace by the powerful, he slept with all of them without missing a single one, and gave birth to a lot of sons and daughters. He really got the advantage and still acted ungrateful.
After arriving at the bun shop, Lin Xiu first paid for the breakfast last time, so as not to let the proprietress
misunderstand that he ran away from the bill. The dog emperor was picking up widows outside, but asked Lin Xiu to take care of them. He couldn’t even take care of his benefactor, so how could he take care of his woman?
But he sent Zhu Jin to talk to Lin Xiu about this in person, and Lin Xiu couldn’t pretend not to hear it. What if something happened to this pretty widow, and the dog emperor was furious and took revenge on Lin Xiu and made him the consort of Princess Minghe, wouldn’t his life be over?
So after breakfast, he didn’t go to the Yishu Academy, but came to the Dongcheng Yamen first.
Wu Wenyuan, the magistrate of Dongcheng, has been having everything go smoothly these days. His boss, who had been suppressing him, has lost his head. In order to keep himself alert, Wu Wenyuan went to his grave a few days ago to pay his respects. The grass in front of the grave had grown very tall. After returning, he beat his son. Although his son has been very honest recently, he still has to remind him from time to time. If he is not careful, his successor will visit his grave next year.
Wu Wenyuan was surprised and happy about Lin Xiu’s arrival. He took out his treasured good tea and brewed it for Lin Xiu, then said, “I wonder if Lord Lin has any advice for you?”
Lin Xiu took a sip of tea and said, “I do have some advice. This matter concerns your official hat and your head. Come with me and I will tell you later.”
A moment later, they were at a teahouse on the street.
Wu Wenyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead. Lin Xiu’s words just now made him still feel uneasy. He drank a cup of tea to calm himself and asked with a bitter face, “Lord Lin, please don’t keep me in suspense. I’m timid and can’t stand being scared.”
Lin Xiu was sitting on the second floor of the teahouse, pointing to a bun shop on the street below, and said, “Did you see that bun shop?”
Wu Wenyuan immediately nodded, “Yes.” Lin
Xiu continued to ask, “Did you see the proprietress?”
Wu Wenyuan continued to nod and said, “Yes, isn’t that the famous bun widow in Dongcheng? I’ve eaten her buns several times.”
Lin Xiu glanced at him and said, “Don’t eat there in the future. If you eat there a few more times, you will lose your job at best, and your life at worst.”
The Dog Emperor was not a broad-minded person. Lin Xiu dared to bet that if he ran into Wu Wenyuan a few times in a row in the bun shop, the secret detective would find out clearly how many times he and his wife came there at night in just a few days.
Wu Wenyuan was startled and asked, “Is it so serious?”
Lin Xiu said lightly, “I have reminded you, believe it or not.”
Wu Wenyuan immediately said, “Of course I believe what Lord Lin said, and I will never eat the buns from that store again!”
Lin Xiu said, “Not only can you not eat buns, you must always pay attention to this store. If someone makes trouble here, you must deal with it as soon as possible. If you encounter something you can’t handle, come to me immediately. If she gets into trouble in your jurisdiction, Old Wu, you should prepare for your own funeral…”
Wu Wenyuan’s forehead was sweating profusely after hearing these two sentences, and he assured Lin Xiu, “Lord Lin, don’t worry, I will have someone watch here for twelve hours every day…”
Although the dog emperor gave this task to Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu was so busy every day, he had to practice, listen to music, and visit the imperial concubine, so he had no time to care about his woman. It was more appropriate to give this task to the East City Order.
Arranging the pretty widow of this bun shop was also an important matter.
In the royal capital, women, especially beautiful women, are actually very dangerous.
If this beautiful woman’s family has no power, the danger will be even greater.
Lin Xiusheng In the 21st century China, it is very rare to forcefully rob women, but here, it is very common for women to be molested and humiliated in the street.
Those children of the rich and powerful, especially those who have no titles or family to inherit, have nothing to do all day long. What they are best at is eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
Since ancient times, what men pursue is nothing more than money, power, and women.
They have no shortage of money, and they can’t get power, so they are left with women.
Therefore, most of the children of the rich and powerful families in the capital are VVVIP customers of major brothels. They support more than half of the KPI of the brothel industry.
After a long time, they got tired of playing with the women in the brothels, so they set their sights on good families.
Qin Cong is like this.
The daughter of Old Wang is not the first victim, nor the last one. The
second son of the Huang family who forced Chen Yu to death, his requirements are not even satisfied with ordinary good women, but have a special liking for women who have awakened strange skills.
The pretty widow that the dog emperor has taken a fancy to is so beautiful, but no one has set their sights on her yet. It’s not that the sons of the rich and powerful look down on her, but because the bun shop is located in a remote area, and the people living around it are all ordinary people. No one has discovered her yet.
If she is discovered by some Cao thief, the dog emperor will definitely be cheated.
At that time, it will not only be Wu Wenyuan, the parent official of Dongcheng, who will be unlucky, but also
Lin Xiu. There are too many notorious dandies living in Dongcheng. Usually, you can’t even see a pretty girl walking on the street. Common women with a little beauty usually don’t go out easily.
If there are really beautiful women walking on the street, it’s generally better not to provoke them.
Because they either have a family background that is against the sky, or they have extraordinary strength, like Lingyin and Xue Ning’er. Whoever dares to provoke them is really courting death.
It is because the New Year is coming soon, and the festive atmosphere is strong, so there are more women on the street.
Lin Xiu was originally going to the Yishu Academy, but stopped somewhere on the street.
As expected, at the intersection not far ahead, a pretty girl was blocked by two young men. The two men surrounded the girl, one in front and one behind, making her feel caught in a dilemma.
It is undeniable that the two young men were good-looking, with noses and eyes, barely handsome, and even their eyebrows and eyes were somewhat familiar to Lin Xiu, but being handsome was not a reason for them not to do anything.
Lin Xiu strode forward and said, “You two, let that girl go!”
One of them looked back at Lin Xiu and found that he did not know her. The other person did not have a noble temperament. He glared at him and said, “Where did this blind thing come from, daring to meddle in our affairs?”
Sun Dali was practicing in the martial arts academy these days. When Lin Xiu went out on weekdays, the secret detectives would keep a distance from him and not follow him closely.
Compared with other powerful young men who were surrounded by people when they went out, he was always too low-key and out of tune with them.
Of course, the son of a second-class earl is far inferior to the sons of other dukes, so it’s no wonder that people start scolding him at the first sight.
However, looking at the current royal capital, there are really few people that Lin Xiu can’t afford to offend, and those people generally won’t lower themselves to flirt with women in the street.
Lin Xiu pinched his finger joints and said, “If you are like this, I will do it for justice…”
The two heard it, and laughed instead of getting angry, and said, “Let’s see how you are going to do it for justice?”
A moment later.
The two lay on the ground, one covering his arm and the other covering his leg, wailing.
What surprised Lin Xiu was that these two people actually had some martial arts foundation. If he met them half a year ago, he really couldn’t do it for justice, but times have changed, and he is no longer the Ah Xiu of the past.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the current royal capital, or even the entire Daxia, among his peers, except Zhao Lingjun, no one can be his opponent.
Whether in supernatural powers or martial arts, Lin Xiu is catching up with the geniuses who are ahead of him at an incredible speed. Up to now, even if they don’t use all their trump cards, it will not be easy for Lingyin and Princess Minghe to defeat him.
This place is very close to the palace. Every few dozen steps, there are patrol guards standing guard. When a fight broke out here, two figures soon came jogging over.
“Stop it!”
“Fighting is prohibited on the streets of the capital. Those who violate the order will be caned!”
…
Lin Xiu saw clearly just now that the two men had been molesting the girl for a while, but the guards did not stop them. He taught them a lesson, and they immediately ran over.
This selective law enforcement is probably an important factor that contributed to the unhealthy trend in the capital.
But this cannot be simply blamed on them. It would be better if they did not care about this kind of thing. If they did, they might lose their jobs.
“We are the sons of Earl Jian’an, how dare this man attack us!”
“Quick, quick, take him down!”
…
Seeing the guards coming, the two men lay on the ground, groaning and giving orders. Earl Jian’an Lin Xiu knew that a second-class earl in Daxia was on the same rank as his father. He looked at the guards and said, “My father is Earl Ping’an. These two men molested a girl in the street. This young master was just acting bravely. How come this is also against the law?”
The two patrolling guards looked at each other and said, “Fighting is prohibited here. Please restrain your behavior, gentlemen. If you don’t listen to our advice, we can only send you to the Qingli Division.”
Before Lin Xiu could say anything, the two men showed anger. One of them said, “What do you mean by molesting a girl? We two brothers were clearly talking to this girl, and this man suddenly appeared and beat us up without saying a word. Why don’t you take him down and send him to the Qingli Division!” The other
one also said, “If you don’t believe me, ask that girl!”
The two guards looked in the direction of his finger and did not find any girl.
Lin Xiu had just seen that when he attacked the two playboys, the girl ran away, and he did not stop them.
The two were not surprised but happy to find that there was no witness. In this way, the truth was up to them. How could
he argue with them alone?
However, as soon as they opened their mouths, Lin Xiu kicked them a few more times, kicking them and saying, “You dare to accuse the villain first!”
“I’ll teach you to confuse right and wrong!”
“I’ll teach you to molest the common girl!”
…
Before Lin Xiu kicked a few times, he was pulled away by the two guards.
If he hadn’t kicked the last few times, the matter could still be saved. After these kicks, it would definitely not end well. The two looked at Lin Xiu and the two people lying on the ground helplessly and said, “Three of you, please come with us to the Qingli Division.”
In addition to being responsible for serious cases near the royal capital, the Qingli Division also handed over cases involving the powerful and wealthy that the government offices in various cities could not handle.
The two men got up from the ground and stared at Lin Xiu fiercely. They dared to go to the Qingli Division, so they had the confidence. A chief of the arrest department had some friendship with them. There
were many dignitaries in the royal capital. They had never heard of the title of Ping’an Earl. At most, he was just a second-class earl. There was no need to worry at all.
This place was not far from the Qingli Division. Two guards quickly brought Lin Xiu and the two limping people here. The
two yamen runners at the door saw Lin Xiu and were about to salute. Lin Xiu gave them a look. The two were stunned for a moment and held back the three words “Lord Lin”.
One of the two guards said, “These three sons of the rich and powerful are fighting in the streets of the capital. We are now handing them over to your Qingli Division for handling.”
Of course, there is no need to alarm the doctor for a small dispute between the dandies. According to the procedure, the two yamen runners first took the three people to the court. The older of the two just walked into the court and pointed at Lin Xiu and said, “Go and call your Wang Zhushi. We want to sue this person!”
Lin Xiu glanced at them, walked slowly to the front of the court, sat in the place where the doctor usually sat, picked up the gavel, slammed it heavily, glanced at the two people, and asked indifferently, “Who is in the court and why are you suing me?”
“This, this official?”
Seeing this, the two stood in the court.
Lin Xiu looked down at them and asked, “Why don’t you say anything? Don’t think you can pretend to be innocent by not saying anything. Come here, these two people molested the common woman in the street. This official saw it with his own eyes. Drag them away and punish each of them with twenty strokes of the cane to set an example!”
Qin Song and Qin Bai realized that they had made a serious mistake.
This nosy guy turned out to be an official from the Qingli Division!
They had entered a den of thieves!
Or they had entered on their own initiative…
The two were still in a daze when they were driven out by four constables and pressed down on two benches.
A constable walked up to Lin Xiu and asked tentatively: “Master Lin, how severe will the twenty strokes be?”
Lin Xiu knew that caning was mysterious. With the same twenty strokes, the lightest one could get out of bed the next day, and the worst one could die on the spot. He thought about it and said, “It’s the kind that can’t get out of bed for half a month.”
The constable smiled and said, “Okay…”
At this time, a figure walked out of a yamen somewhere. Qin Song saw him and immediately said, “Master Wang, Master Wang, come and save us…”
The man walked to Qin Song and the others and said in surprise: “What’s going on?”
After Lin Xiu was promoted, there were a total of five masters in the arrest department, including Lin Xiu, and Master Wang was one of them.
After listening to Qin Song and the others, Wang walked up to Lin Xiu and said, “Master Lin, these two are the sons of the Earl of Jian’an. The Earl of Jian’an and your father are both second-class Earls. I’m afraid there will be many opportunities to deal with each other in the future. It’s better not to make the relationship too stiff…”
If the father of these two people was a
second-class Duke, Lin Xiu might have considered it. He really didn’t care
about the second-class Earl. He was in a bad mood these two days, or even very bad, and he wanted to find an opportunity to vent.
Lin Xiu glanced at Wang and said, “The relationship between the Earl of Ping’an and the Earl of Jian’an, please don’t worry about it.”
Wang’s persuasion failed, and he was frustrated by Lin Xiu. He was a little embarrassed, snorted coldly, and left.
Lin Xiu glanced at the two brothers whose faces had turned very pale, and said, “Beat them!”
The cane was raised high and fell heavily.
Because Lin Xiu asked that they could not get out of bed for half a month after the beating, several constables did not show any mercy. After two sticks, the two cried for their parents and screamed.
At this time, a figure hurriedly walked into the Qingli Division. When Lin Xiu saw that figure, he was also stunned for a moment.
The person who came was actually Qin Wan.
Qin Wan quickly walked to Lin Xiu’s side, glanced at the two people who were being beaten, looked at Lin Xiu, bit her lip, and said, “Mr. Lin, can you spare them this time for my sake?”
Lin Xiu looked at Qin Wan, then at the two men, and asked, “They are…”
Qin Wan was silent for a moment, and said, “They are my brothers.”
No wonder Lin Xiu felt that the two men looked familiar from the beginning. Now it seems that they have a little resemblance to Qin Wan’s eyebrows.
But this is not a reason for Lin Xiu to let them go.
Not to mention Qin Wan, Xue Ning’er will not work.
Lin Xiu shook his head and said, “The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. If I let them go today because of Miss Qin’s words, how will my colleagues in the Qingli Division look at me, and how will my subordinates look at me? Miss Qin should not say anything more about pleading.”
After being rejected by Lin Xiu, Qin Wan did not speak again, but just stood there, quietly watching the two people being executed.
The shrill screams continued, Qin Wan’s expression was calm, but a hint of pleasure flashed in her eyes. Qin
Wan’s two brothers obviously did not have such a strong body as Lin Xiu. After fifteen strokes, they did not even have the strength to scream. After twenty strokes, they fainted directly.
Qin Wan then looked at Lin Xiu and said, “Mr. Lin, can you ask a few constables to send them back?”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “Of course.”
Qin Wan said, “Thank you
, Mr. Lin.” Lin Xiu waved his hand and said, “You’re welcome. Helping to fight and send them back is what our Qingli Division should do…”
The four constables carried the two people who fainted and Qin Wan away. Liu Qingfeng came over and looked at Lin Xiu with admiration and said, “Mr. Lin is really upright and not tempted by beauty at all. To be honest, when the girl begged for mercy just now, I wanted to agree for you…”
Lin Xiu patted his shoulder and said, “Mr. Liu’s character needs to be tempered more…”
When it comes to resisting the temptation of beauty, Lin Xiu must be much more determined than Liu Qingfeng and the others.
But then again, in fact, Lin Xiu almost agreed to Qin Wan just now.
Looking back now, even he himself finds it incredible.
Logically speaking, he has experienced a lot of storms, and it is difficult for beauty to tempt him, even Qin Wan can’t.
Qin Wan’s temptation to him was not as great as the female assassin’s concealment ability.
But the moment Qin Wan opened her mouth just now, Lin Xiu actually had a strong urge to agree to her. Fortunately, his defense against beauty was high enough to stick to his heart.
At this moment, outside the Qingli Division.
Four detectives carried Qin Song and Qin Bai. Qin Wan walked slowly in front of them with an undisguised look of surprise in her eyes. She whispered: “What a firm determination…”
It happened to be written now, so I updated it early. I got 10,000 subscriptions two days ago, but the VIP word count was not enough. I finally made it today. I don’t know if I will have the 10,000 subscription badge tomorrow. If I do, there will be extra updates tomorrow.
