After this fight, which lasted only a short while, those originally arrogant playboys were all subdued by the Black Dragon Guards. Some of them lay on the ground groaning in pain, while others fainted directly. The scene was in chaos.

Long Liu nodded slightly to Yi Huawei, and left quickly with the mother and daughter. The mother and daughter were already pale with fear, their bodies trembling constantly, and under Long Liu's escort, they staggered but eagerly walked towards a safe place, looking back from time to time, their eyes full of fear and trepidation.

Just after Long Liu and his team successfully took the mother and daughter away, the city patrol guards finally arrived.

The team seemed to be in good order, but the pace of the march was lax. When they arrived at the scene, they saw the injured Mengtai lying on the ground, his face covered in blood, looking miserable, and the patrolling city guards immediately became nervous.

The leader of the patrolling city guards was a slightly fat guy. He frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then turned into an overbearing momentum. He waved his hand and shouted to his patrolling city guards: "Search them all, find the murderer who injured Master Meng, and don't let them get away!"

After receiving the order, the patrolling city guards immediately rushed into the crowd like wolves and tigers. They completely ignored the shouts and protests of the people and rushed into the crowd, some people were knocked to the ground, some people's clothes were torn, and there was a noisy shouting at the scene.

A city patrol guard grabbed a young scholar by the collar, glared at him and shouted, "Tell me, did you do it?" The scholar was so scared that his face turned pale and he said tremblingly, "It wasn't me. I was standing here the whole time and did nothing!" But the city patrol guard didn't listen to his explanation at all. He pushed the scholar to the ground and continued to search for other people.

Some patrolling city guards were holding weapons and waving them around in the crowd, shouting, "Don't move, anyone who moves will be arrested!"

The people shrank back in fear, their eyes filled with anger and grievance, but they dared not resist and could only complain in low voices.

The few dandies who were originally restrained seemed to regain their confidence when they saw the patrolling city guards coming. One of them who was a little more sober shouted at the top of his voice: "You are finally here, quickly arrest these ignorant guys, they dared to attack us, it's really outrageous!"

When the leader of the patrol city guards heard this, he felt that he had to find the murderer as soon as possible to give Meng Tai an explanation. After all, the power of the Meng family should not be underestimated. If they were not handled properly, they, the patrol city guards, would not have a good ending. So he urged his men to speed up the search. The whole scene became a mess. The people complained bitterly, but the patrol city guards continued to do their own thing.

Yi Huawei stood aside, watched coldly for a while, waved his hand, and then, under the escort of the Black Dragon Guards, he quietly left the crowd with a few women.

………………

Zhao Mansion.

The originally relaxed atmosphere was instantly dissipated by the wanton disturbance caused by Meng Tai and his group.

After Chenxi and the other girls returned to Zhao's house in a state of annoyance, they went straight to the inner room to wash up, as if they wanted to wash away the bad luck and unhappiness. Yi Huawei sat alone in the lobby quietly, with a stern face and deep eyes.

"grown ups!"

The maid quietly brought a pot of freshly brewed tea, and when she was about to leave, Long Liu quietly appeared at the door.

"come in!"

Yi Huawei raised his head slightly, glanced at Long Liu, and then nodded slightly.

Long Liu walked quickly into the hall, then clasped his fists and saluted respectfully: "My lord, I have found out that the man in the lead is called Meng Tai, the nephew of Meng Tian. The others are from the Tian family, the Yang family, and the Lu family. They are usually rampant and arrogant in Xianyang City. This time they offended my lord, which is really bold and presumptuous. My lord, do you want to take them down?"

There was a flash of anger and eagerness in Long Liu's eyes. He was obviously extremely dissatisfied with these people's behavior. He was just waiting for Yi Huawei's order to bring them to justice.

"No hurry yet,"

Yi Huawei nodded slightly, his expression calm, his fingers tapping lightly on the table: "Call the mother and daughter over, I have something to ask them."

"Yes!" Long Liu responded, turned around and left quickly.

After a while, the mother and daughter were brought over under the leadership of Long Liu.

The woman obviously knew Yi Huawei's distinguished status. As soon as she stepped into the hall, she pulled her daughter to her knees. Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of awe and gratitude:

"I, Qi, would like to thank the Prime Minister for saving me. If you hadn't helped me in time, my mother and I would have been doomed today. I will never forget your kindness."

"No need to be polite, just get up."

Yi Huawei nodded slightly, with a hint of gentleness in his eyes and a soft tone.

After hearing this, Qi slowly stood up and stood aside with her daughter, lowering her head slightly, not daring to look directly at Yi Huawei. Her daughter hid behind her, her eyes still showing fear and anxiety, her little hands tightly grasping the corner of her mother's clothes.

Yi Huawei slowly glanced at the mother and daughter, and asked calmly, "Tell me about your family situation so I can know the truth."

Qi quickly responded, "My husband has been stationed at the border for three years. Fortunately, the Qin army treats its soldiers well, and my family has some assets, so we live a relatively stable life. But my husband is away from home all year round, and I have to take care of everything at home. I have an old mother to take care of, and a daughter who is not yet married, so it's not easy for me."

As she spoke, Qi's eyes turned slightly red.

Yi Huawei nodded slightly, then looked at the girl hiding behind him and asked, "Does your daughter have a school name?"

Qi replied hurriedly, "Sir, my daughter's name is Zhang Jie. She has studied at a girls' school for a few years. She can read a few characters and understand some poetry, literature and etiquette. She is currently waiting to be married."

"Not bad! It looks quite elegant."

Yi Huawei nodded, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I will not let you suffer this in vain. You can take your daughter to the Xianyang County Court and complain to Xianyang Magistrate Yan Le."

When Qi heard this, she hesitated: "Sir, this... I am afraid..."

Yi Huawei seemed to see through Qi's concerns and sat up straighter. "Don't worry. Yan Le, as the magistrate of Xianyang, should handle the matter impartially. If he dares to neglect his duties, I will have to punish him. I will not allow such injustice to happen under my rule. Just go ahead and tell me the truth about what happened today. I will handle the rest. Don't worry, I will have people protect you secretly."

After hearing this, Qi's worries were slightly relieved. She pulled her daughter to kneel down again and said with tears of gratitude:
"Thank you for taking care of my mother and me. I am willing to work like a slave in my next life to repay your kindness."

Yi Huawei raised his hand slightly: "No need to do that, I only seek justice when I act. You can go now."

After the mother and daughter left, Yi Huawei's face became solemn.

Meng Tai is the nephew of Meng Tian. The Meng family is quite powerful in the court. The Tian family, Yang family, and Lu family are also not to be underestimated. Although Yan Le is his confidant, it is still unknown whether he can uphold justice without his presence.

Seeing Yi Huawei lost in thought, Long Liu stepped forward and said softly, "Sir, Meng Tai and his men usually do whatever they want by relying on their family power. Today, they dared to offend you. You must not let them off easily. But as for Yan Zhongling...should you inform him in advance?"

Yi Huawei shook his head slightly: "No need, I will see how he acts. If he can handle it impartially, it would be the best. If he has the slightest favoritism, I will let him know the consequences."

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Yi Huawei's eyes. ………………

In the Xianyang County Court, Yan Le was sitting behind the desk.

On the desk, bamboo slips piled up like a mountain, and the pen in his hand fell from time to time. At this moment, a yamen runner hurried in, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Sir, a mother and daughter came to file a complaint. This matter... involves Meng Tai and others."

Yan Le frowned when he heard this. He naturally knew who Meng Tai was. The family behind Meng Tai had deep roots in Xianyang City, and his uncle Meng Tian was even more famous.

As for what happened last night, the story had already spread widely in the city, and he had heard a little about it, but he had never imagined that the woman who was bullied by Meng Tai and others would be so courageous as to sue Meng Tai and others.

This put Yan Le in a dilemma.

If he handled the matter impartially and punished Meng Tai and others, it would inevitably anger the Meng family and other forces. These families have many followers in the court. Once they join forces to put pressure on him, I am afraid that even the prime minister will not be able to protect him, and his years of hard work may be ruined. But if he favors Meng Tai and others...

Yan Le sat behind the desk, his hands unconsciously clenched, his brows furrowed, repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, his eyes revealing a hint of hesitation and uneasiness.

After arriving at the county court, Qi's mother and daughter were filled with fear and anxiety. Standing outside the gate of the county court, looking at the majestic building and the yamen runners coming and going, her legs couldn't help but tremble slightly. Qi took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and tremblingly pulled her daughter towards the yamen runners, explaining her purpose with a slightly trembling voice.

The bailiff led the two men through the courtyard and into the lobby.

The atmosphere in the lobby was solemn and dignified.

When Qi saw Yan Le sitting at the desk in a high position, she was even more frightened. Her legs softened and she knelt down again. She lowered her head, not daring to look Yan Le in the eye. She just told the story in detail in a trembling voice. From the time she went to the street with her daughter to enjoy the lanterns last night and ran into Meng Tai and others, to how Meng Tai spoke frivolously to her daughter and pulled her, to how the people around her dared not speak out, and how she was finally rescued by a few kind-hearted people...

Yan Le listened quietly, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. He kept his eyes fixed on the Qi mother and daughter, his expression serious, but he was thinking quickly about how to deal with the situation.

After Qi finished speaking, Yan Le was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "You two go back first. I will give you justice after I have investigated thoroughly."

Although the Qi mother and daughter had doubts in their hearts, facing Yan Le's majesty, they dared not say much. They could only slowly stand up and leave with trepidation.

Yan Le sat alone in the hall for a long time, the balance in his heart gradually tilted. Finally, he called his confidant, summoned him to his side, and whispered a few words to him.

The confidant had followed Yan Le for many years and had already understood his intentions. He nodded, turned around, and hurried to the Meng Mansion. He went there to inform the Meng family that Yan Le was interested in currying favor with them.

However, Yan Le did not know that Yi Huawei had already arranged people to secretly protect Qi's mother and daughter.

Meng Tai was furious when he learned that Qi's mother and daughter went to the county court to file a complaint. How could he tolerate this mother and daughter ruining his good fortune? He was already furious about what happened last night, so Meng Tai called a few of his friends and a group of servants and walked towards the Xianyang County Government Office in an aggressive manner, trying to catch the mother and daughter again.

When Meng Tai and his men blocked Qi's mother and daughter in a remote alley, they were terrified and thought they would not be able to escape their fate. Suddenly, a group of agile figures in black appeared like ghosts and rescued the mother and daughter, leaving Meng Tai and his men, who were injured, wailing and rolling on the spot.

………………

The study was quiet and serene, with only the sound of Yi Huawei's gentle breathing and the occasional rustling of the bamboo slips in his hand being heard.

Yi Huawei sat upright behind his desk, his mind somewhat empty; this was his free time once a day.

The territory of the Qin Empire was vast and the population was huge. The things that happened every day were as numerous as the stars. The memorials submitted from all over the country were continuously gathered in the court and then sent to Yi Huawei's desk, without any interruption.

Perhaps the reason why most emperors in the past dynasties died young was not only because of the three thousand beauties in their harems, which made them indulge in sensual pleasures and consume their energy, but also because of the mountains of memorials and the complicated and heavy affairs, which led to excessive physical and mental fatigue, which was also a very critical factor.

In the newly born Qin Empire, everything was in its infancy and in need of reconstruction. Whether it was the decision-making and deployment of major policies or the trivial matters of the people, all matters, no matter how big or small, would be passed down through layers and finally land on Yi Huawei's desk. Even though he had a photographic memory, facing the complicated affairs that came like a tide, after a long time, he would inevitably feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Over the past decade, Yi Huawei has been extremely restrained in taking concubines, and has only taken two. Although he has a high degree of immunity to beauty due to his own experience and determination, and will not be easily tempted by women, the most important reason is that he simply does not have the time.

In this vast and complex imperial system, every move in the court, no matter how seemingly insignificant and insignificant, may be like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing strong shocks and waves among the people.

A slight adjustment in a tax policy may bring about earth-shaking changes in the lives of countless people; the appointment, dismissal, promotion or demotion of an official may also trigger a reshuffle of personnel and interests in the local area. Therefore, Yi Huawei is very cautious and considers every decision and every decree.

The road ahead is long and arduous, and one must move forward steadily, step by step. Especially when managing such a huge empire, patience becomes a valuable and vital quality.

But being patient does not mean that Yi Huawei is weak.

Now, there are people who are trying to deceive his sight and hearing and act recklessly under his nose?
In Yi Huawei's view, this was simply a naked question to him: Is the knife in your hand still sharp?

Yi Huawei was silent in the study for a long while, his eyes gradually became stern, his originally peaceful face now revealed a chilling and murderous aura. He slowly raised his head, looking through the half-open window, at the world covered in silver outside the window.

At this time, heavy snow was falling outside the window, and the sky and the earth looked bleak.

Yi Huawei took a deep breath and slowly said, "Gather all the Black Dragon Guards related to the clan and immediately cut off their contact with the outside world. In the name of reviewing the army, order the Shadow Guards to quickly take over the Patrol City Division, the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards, and the Lantian Army. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!

Announce the musket battalion to enter the city!

Tomorrow, you are only allowed to enter Xianyang City, but not leave!"

"promise!"

A brief response came from the darkness, followed by the sound of light footsteps that quickly faded away.

Yi Huawei still stood quietly in front of the window, watching the heavy snow falling outside. The snowflakes were like a white curtain, as if to cover up all the ugliness and darkness in the world.

With a slight sneer, these people thought they could do tricks behind the scenes without being noticed. They were really naive and stupid.

Yi Huawei turned around and walked back to the desk, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote:

"Heavy snow fell on Jiugai, and the world was covered with white dust.

Watch the white cotton cover the evildoers, wait till the sun comes down and turns all the sorrow into nothingness!"
