Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 1067
As soon as the man finished speaking, Zijin rushed forward, hit him in the chest with a kick, and kicked him out.This man knew some kung fu, and there was someone supporting him behind him, so he finally didn't fall to pieces.

After he stood firm, he patted the dirt on his chest, and then laughed again, "Just kidding, why are you so angry?"

Liu Yunxiang asked calmly: "Are you the Second Master Duan they call you?"

"Duan Youguang." Duan Youguang smiled, "I wonder, little lady... ahem... who is this lady?"

"I heard that there is someone behind you, but you are too arrogant to rob a girl on the street. Do you really think that no one can cure you?" Liu Yunxiang didn't reveal it, but if he wasn't stupid, he would understand.

"Are you talking about the two nobles who are in the city now? Do you want them to treat me? Ha, to tell you the truth, even if they come, I won't be afraid!" Duan Youguang said with his chin raised.

"Are you really not afraid?" Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes.

"I have a reason to be afraid of anything."

Liu Yunxiang was stunned for a moment. He had never seen anyone say that he was justified after robbing a civilian girl.

"What's your reason?"

"Him!" Duan Youguang pointed directly at the lame middle-aged man, "He owes me food and has no money to pay back, so he can only use his daughter to pay off the debt. We agreed at the beginning."

Liu Yunxiangmo, this is what happened.

The lame man couldn't escape with his daughter, so he had no choice but to come over and plead for mercy.

"Second Master, please give me a few more days, and I will pay you back." The man begged, rubbing his hands.

"Heh, I've given you half a year's grace, are you still here?" Duan Youguang asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Wait... wait for next summer's harvest... I will definitely return it!" the man said with a guilty conscience.

"Bah, I didn't know you were a master? You have already sold your two acres of land!"

Hearing this, the man knelt down and said, "Second Master, please let my daughter go. She is only sixteen. She cannot be...wasted by you!"

"Is this what she looks like? Her face is as dark as the bottom of a pot, her eyes are smaller than mine, and her mouth is pouting. You give it to me, or I do it!"

"Then you..."

"It will be useful if you give it to me. You don't have to worry about it."

Liu Yunxiang saw that the middle-aged man was pitiful, and the woman was even more pitiful. He was so frightened that he kept hiding behind his father.But this time, there was a gangster, and if this girl fell into his hands, she would definitely end badly.

"How much money does he owe you? I'll help him pay it back." Liu Yunxiang said.

Duan Youguang chuckled, "Will you help him pay it back?"

"Yes, don't you just want money?"

Duan Youguang looked at Liu Yunxiang, rolled his eyes a few times, and then curled his lips and said: "Looking at you, you should be quite rich, but I am not, I want this little girl!"

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Aren't you afraid that we will sue the government?"

"Whatever." Duan Youguang snorted, "Master, I'm still afraid of you!"

With that said, he waved to his men to pull the little girl away.

"Dad! Help me!" The little girl hurriedly pulled her father.

The lame man continued to beg Duan Youguang, but seeing that he was indifferent, he turned to Liu Yunxiang, "Madam, please save my daughter, please!"

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath. Not to mention Hukou City, this area was definitely Duan Youguang's territory, and his people had already surrounded them.As for Zhang Qi, because Duan Youguang brought so many people, they had a hard time fighting and slowly retreated.

"Okay, stop." Duan Youguang greeted, and his people all stopped and retreated behind him.

He looked at Liu Yunxiang again, "Madam, please come to my Duan Mansion to sit down when you have time. I'll treat you to tea."

After that, Duan Youguang left with a group of people, taking the little girl with him at the same time.

"Madam, do you want to catch up?" Zhang Qi asked.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "No, let's find a way."

After everyone dispersed, Liu Yunxiang thought about this alley. They had just walked through it and didn't see any mansion.With this in mind, she led Zhang Qi and the others in.

This time I looked carefully and finally saw a dilapidated small yellow door with a plaque with mottled characters on it, which read "Duan Mansion".This mansion is so different from other mansions. If you don't look carefully, it is clearly an ordinary farmhouse.However, they measured along the alley and found that the mansion should be very large.

Coming out of the alley, Zijin said with a smile: "This period of light is quite interesting. With the power behind him, he should have made a lot of money, but the place he lives in is so shabby."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Some people don't like to show off their wealth, especially since he is backed by his brother-in-law Fan Qiang, so he should keep a lower profile."

"Is he still keeping a low profile?" Zhang Qi pouted.

"Perhaps he has such a temper that he wants to keep a low profile but can't help but cause trouble. Forget it, let's go directly to Fan Qiang."

She didn't want to make a big deal about this matter for the time being, so it was better to go to Fan Qiang and let him solve it.

She was waiting in the post house, but General Fan Qiang arrived just after dark, looking dusty from travel.

"This subordinate is guilty. The Empress Dowager has been waiting for a long time." Fan Qiang knelt down on one knee to plead guilty.

"What are you doing, General Fan?" Liu Yunxiang asked leisurely without letting him get up.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, a dozen retired soldiers outside the city entered a village to rob them. My subordinates led people there and kidnapped them back."

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. This is the consequence of reducing military strength, but this road must be taken.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Fan."

"Don't dare to say hard work."

Liu Yunxiang raised his hand to let Fan Qiang stand up, and then said: "I know that the general is exhausted physically and mentally, so I won't go around in circles. I came to you because of your brother-in-law."

She told Fan Qiang about Duan Youguang's robbery of two batches of goods sent from Yangzhou, and about the rape of civilian girls today.

After Fan Qiang heard this, his veins popped out and his anger was undisguised.

"This kid deserves a beating again!"

Liu Yunxiang coughed dryly, "This is what I know, but there are probably more unjust cases that I don't know about."

Fan Qiang hurriedly knelt down again, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will teach this kid a lesson in my humble position."

"What if a crime is committed?"

"It should be dealt with according to the law."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "My general, General Xinfan, but let's go and rescue the little girl first, lest your brother-in-law get really confused."

Fan Qiang did not dare to delay and ran out immediately.

Zijin curled his lips, "Fan Qiang cannot possibly not know what Youguang did during this period, but he seemed to indulge him like this."

"See through but don't tell. I gave him a chance. Let's see if he cherishes it."

The next day, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to find out if Duan Youguang had let the little girl go.

Zijin went to the street to inquire about it and came back soon, but his face was very bad.

"It is said that Duan Youguang released the man shortly after General Fan left."

"and then?"

"Then." Zijin took a deep breath before saying, "Then this girl...hanged herself early in the morning."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang frowned, "What's going on?"

"I inquired for a long time before I found out that this girl was... bullied last night."

Liu Yunxiang's face darkened, "There is light in this section, it's really damning!"

"Go to Fan Qiang and tell him that I know about that girl."

"Just say this?"

"Well, I want to see if he still dares to protect this brother-in-law!"
