Blackening starts from the golden years

Kill a knife-wielding gangster, points +10
Kill a knife-wielding gangster, points +10
……

Yuan Xudong raised his brows slightly. Five prompt messages were displayed on the system interface. A Da and A Er shot and killed five knife-wielding gangsters. His system points increased by 50 accordingly. He had 97 points left before, but now it became 147 points.

"Let me go!"

Struggling to break free from Yuan Xudong's arms, Zhao Pan'er glared at him with a blushing face and said angrily:

"lecher!"

"lecher?"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er, whose pretty face was red, embarrassed and angry, Yuan Xudong smiled slightly and said:
"I am your savior, Madam Zhao. Is this how you repay your savior?"

"I……"

Zhao Pan'er's face froze. Looking at the five Salt Gang bandits lying on the ground in the teahouse with their eyes wide open, and the pool of blood beneath them, her face turned pale again and she was stunned and speechless.

The other tea drinkers also turned pale and did not dare to look directly at Yuan Xudong and the others. But Sun Sanniang looked normal. She used to be a butcher. She had been killing pigs for three years, working hard and earning a sum of money to give to her husband as capital for his business. Later, her husband had enough money to marry her and set up a family business.

Perhaps because she had killed so many pigs, Sun Sanniang was not so afraid of seeing people being killed. She threw away the two kitchen knives in her hands, hurriedly walked out of the tea house next door, went to Zhao Pan'er and comforted her.

Of course, after what happened just now, Sun Sanniang was still very scared. She was not afraid of dead people, but she was afraid of Yuan Xudong and his black-clad guards. Seeing that Yuan Xudong, this lecher, molested Zhao Pan'er, she didn't dare to glare at him or scold him. She just comforted Zhao Pan'er in a low voice. She didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of Yuan Xudong.

At this time, a dozen constables outside the teahouse rushed in and saw the five salt gang bandits lying in a pool of blood. They were stunned for a moment. The leading constable quickly squatted down to check and found that all five people were dead, and their fatal injuries were the same. It seemed that there was a hole in their head caused by some hidden weapon.

"Who did this?"

The chief constable stood up and asked softly. The tea drinkers did not dare to speak, but all looked at Yuan Xudong and his black-clad guards. At this time, the chief constable naturally noticed Yuan Xudong and others. He walked over with a group of constables, looked at the leader Yuan Xudong and asked cautiously:
"Who are you? Where are you from? Did you kill all these Salt Gang members?"

"No."

Glancing at the head constable in front of him, Yuan Xudong said calmly:

"You killed all these gangsters. It has nothing to do with me."

While speaking, Yuan Xudong took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and placed it on the table, smiling slightly:

"This is the gold that fell from those gangsters."

Seeing that Yuan Xudong not only lied with his eyes open, but also dared to bribe the yamen runners in public, all the tea drinkers couldn't help but open their eyes wide. They were not looking at Yuan Xudong, but at the gold ingot in front of him. For ordinary people, copper coins or small silver pieces were commonly used. Even silver ingots were rare, let alone gold ingots.

Gold is dazzling.

Yuan Xudong looked at the chief constable and the constables behind him. He didn't want to kill innocent people, so he wanted to use a bar of gold to send them away.

What if someone covets his gold and becomes greedy?
Aren’t those points delivered to your door?

By killing the five knife-wielding bandits just now, Yuan Xudong discovered a way to earn points quickly, which is to kill the bad guys.

Who is the bad guy?

Those who want to harm him are bad people.

All the detectives looked at their boss. The gold ingot was very dazzling.

At this time, the chief constable was a little conflicted, because the neighbors around were all watching, and it was not easy for him to take the gold ingot.

Looking at the troubled head of the police, Gu Qianfan on the side had a playful look in his eyes and a disdainful smile on his lips. What he hated most were corrupt officials, and his father Xiao Qinyan was the biggest corrupt official in the current court.

Seeing the disdain on Gu Qianfan's face, a constable frowned and walked over, saying in a deep voice:
"Hey, you look like a martial artist, where are you from? Tell me your name!"

"Don't be rude!"

Seeing the yamen runner looking for trouble with Gu Qianfan, Lao Jia quickly stood up, pulled him aside and whispered. After a while, the yamen runner came back, looked at Gu Qianfan who looked indifferent, frowned and said:
"Imperial City Division, I don't think you are from the Imperial City Division. Come with me back to the county government office!"

As he said that, he reached out to grab Gu Qianfan's shoulder. Seeing that he dared to attack Gu Qianfan, Lao Jia, who came back behind him, directly reached out to grab his shoulder and kicked him in the knee, making him kneel on the ground and unable to move.

At this time, Lao Jia turned his head and glanced at Gu Qianfan. After receiving Gu Qianfan's signal, he took out the golden waist badge of the Imperial City Bureau from his waist, thrust it directly in front of the yamen runner and shouted:
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly, this is the commander of the Imperial City Investigation Department!"

"Please spare my life, sir. I was blind and did not recognize a great man. Please forgive me!"

Seeing the golden waist badge of the Imperial City Bureau, the young yamen runner was so frightened that he begged for mercy. Seeing Gu Qianfan nodded slightly, Lao Jia let go of the yamen runner, kicked him lightly and scolded him:

"get out!"

"Thank you, sir. I will get out of here right away. I will get out of here right away."

The young yamen runner crawled back to his boss and whispered a few words to him. The yamen runner leader's face suddenly changed. It was obvious that these runners were very afraid of the people from the Imperial City Bureau.

Seeing that the identity of the Imperial City Bureau was so useful, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He took a look at the system store. Oh, there really were peripheral products for sale. The pure gold Imperial City Bureau waist badge didn't cost 998, but only 1 point, which could be easily taken home.

As a matter of course, Yuan Xudong bought a golden waist badge of the Imperial City Division, which was of the Grand Commander level. He turned his back to Gu Qianfan and Lao Jia and showed the waist badge to the chief constable, then said calmly:

"I came to Qiantang County for important business, so I don't want to attract attention. Why don't you leave?"

"Let's go, sir, we'll leave right away!"

The chief constable was almost scared to death, and he quickly led his subordinates out of the teahouse, and took away the bodies of the five bandits before leaving. He wanted to rush back to tell the county magistrate that the people from the Imperial City Division had come, and they must be here to investigate the illegal smuggling in Qiantang. This matter was of great importance. If the people from the Imperial City Division found out something, who knows how many people would lose their heads. By mistake, Yuan Xudong and Gu Qianfan stirred up the officialdom of the entire Jiangnan region. The illegal smuggling in Qiantang was not something that a small Qiantang County Magistrate could do. He was just a pawn, and there were a lot of people hiding behind him. Not to mention the Imperial City Division, even the current emperor did not dare to investigate thoroughly. At most, he would kill the Qiantang County Magistrate Zheng Qingtian, who was the pawn, to scare the monkeys. Perhaps, when that time came, Zheng Qingtian would take all the blame, and then commit suicide out of fear of the crime. He would die alone to protect his family from being implicated by him and being exterminated.

Of course, even if their entire clan was not exterminated, the men would be exiled and the women would be sent to the Jiaofangsi to become official entertainers, and they would be slaves for generations, which would be a tragic end. Therefore, if it was known that someone from the Imperial City Bureau had come to Qiantang, the Qiantang County Magistrate Zheng Qingtian would definitely use all means to resolve the matter. If he could not resolve the matter, he would then resolve the person who caused it.

To get back to the point, Yuan Xudong is a fake commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Division, and Gu Qianfan is the real commander of the Imperial City Division, but he came to Qiantang secretly to investigate the current queen's loss of virginity, not to investigate the private lifting of the sea ban on smuggling in Jiangnan. But Zheng Qingtian doesn't know all this, and he is guilty as a thief, and soon he will have a fierce conflict with Yuan Xudong and Gu Qianfan.

Zheng Qingtian has the support of the Imperial Guards behind him. He can mobilize a part of the Imperial Guards to escort the smuggling. When necessary, he can also mobilize the Imperial Guards to kill people, even if they are court officials or people from the Imperial City Bureau. As long as they block the smuggling's financial path, they dare to kill anyone.

When Lao Jia showed the badge of the Imperial City Bureau and said that he and Gu Qianfan were from the Imperial City Bureau, Zhao Pan'er noticed it and she couldn't help but recall the past.

She was born into a family of officials. Her father was a pro-war faction of the Song Dynasty. The current Prime Minister Xiao Qinyan was a pro-peace faction. He advocated ceding land and paying indemnities. He watched helplessly as the people on the border of the Song Dynasty were wantonly slaughtered by the enemy and did not allow anyone to rescue them. His philosophy was that by sacrificing this small number of people, millions of people in the Song Dynasty could be saved from war. He felt that he was very great. This was called considering the overall situation. When he saw the people on the border of the Song Dynasty being wantonly slaughtered and insulted by the enemy, he was also very heartbroken.

While he was heartbroken, he bought thousands of acres of fertile land in his hometown. His family had countless wealth, countless shops, thousands of servants and maids, and he also secretly kept servants. These were all poor people who could not survive and sold their children. Then these people became servants and maids, guards and servants in Prime Minister Xiao's family. This was Prime Minister Xiao Qinyan, who served the country and the people and considered the overall situation.

That is Gu Qianfan’s father.

As for Zhao Pan'er's father, he couldn't bear to see the people on the border being slaughtered, so he opened the city gate and saved some of the people.

Her father became a good man, so what about our Prime Minister Xiao?

For disobeying military orders, Zhao Pan'er's father was executed immediately. Her clansmen, the men, were made slaves, and the women were sent to the Jiaofang Bureau to be official entertainers. Zhao Pan'er was too young to receive guests at the time, so she studied in the Jiaofang. What did she study?
Naturally, it is a romantic and elegant affair that dignitaries like.

Zhao Pan'er had a miserable childhood. Her clansmen died one by one. When she grew up and reached the age to get married, someone finally rescued her secretly and allowed her to escape from her status as a prostitute and no longer have to work as a prostitute for an imperial court.

The person who saved her was her father's former colleague and friend. Many years later, on the eve of Zhao Pan'er's wedding, he dared to secretly save Zhao Pan'er. He was also afraid of Xiao Qinyan's boundless power. Back then, it was Xiao Qinyan who signed a humiliating treaty with the enemy country, and the Song Dynasty paid annual tribute every year. As a representative of the peace faction, Xiao Qinyan was extremely powerful. Who wouldn't be afraid of him?

Therefore, Xiao Qinyan was a powerful and treacherous official who caused Zhao Pan'er's family to be destroyed and countless people were killed by him. Gu Qianfan was his eldest son, and the good son of the person who caused Zhao Pan'er's family to be destroyed and countless people were killed. Under such circumstances, if Zhao Pan'er still loved Gu Qianfan, I am afraid that the wronged souls of her family would die with their eyes open and would never be reborn.

Her father was beheaded, her mother was humiliated and died in the music school, and the rest of the family members were enslaved, the men became slaves, and the women became maids, all of them died. Only Zhao Pan'er was the only legitimate daughter left. Instead of thinking of avenging her family, she willingly offered herself to the son of her enemy, who pinned her down and tortured her like a beast.

Of course, there will definitely be no such stupid plot now, because Yuan Xudong is here. He wants to avenge Zhao Paner and kill Xiao Qinyan, who is full of benevolence and morality, to eliminate the harm to the people.

As for Gu Qianfan, he is not a good guy either. On the one hand, he says that his father is a bad guy and he wants to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice, but in the end, he is still a good son to his father. So he is the same as his father. The family must be together, and Yuan Xudong will reunite them father and son. As for the other members of the Xiao family, if there are pests, there will be a nest. Such a family that kills loyal people and disregards the lives of the people does not deserve to die. Yuan Xudong decided to enforce justice and wipe out his entire family.

Of course, some people may think that Xiao Qinyan is so handsome, and his sentence "Exterminate the three tribes" is full of domineering power. However, Yuan Xudong is not such a person. Such corrupt officials who do not care about the lives of the people are of despicable character, worse than the stones in the toilet. How can he be handsome?

Without further ado, Zhao Pan'er came back to her senses from her memories. It was the people from the Imperial City Bureau who raided her house. It was Xiao Qinyan who wrote the memorial and the current emperor gave the order. The people from the Imperial City Bureau raided her house. Seeing the golden badge made Zhao Pan'er feel hatred, but she had no ability to take revenge. What could a weak woman like her do?

The person who ordered the raid on her house was the current emperor. She had no place to file a complaint and seek justice, because how could the emperor be wrong? The one who was wrong could only be her father. It was her father who should not have saved the people on the border, should not have advocated war, and should not have failed to understand the emperor's thoughts.

Just like Xiao Qinyan, everyone knew that he was a treacherous minister, how could the emperor not know that? But Xiao Qinyan knew how to behave. He embezzled one million strings of money, and kept three hundred thousand strings for himself. He would give the remaining seven hundred thousand strings to the queen's family, the queen and the emperor himself. A large number of civil and military officials behind him would also get to share in the spoils. In front of such an interest group, Zhao Pan'er's father would have to die, and after his death he would have been slandered. The people who did not know the truth only knew that he was a sinner. The men in his family were demoted to slaves and the women to prostitutes. From generation to generation, their fate was miserable.

So, when Zhao Pan'er saw Yuan Xudong also took out the golden waist badge of the Imperial City Bureau, she hated him too.

At this time, Yuan Xudong looked at Zhao Paner beside him. He was a little surprised. Why did she suddenly turn red?

Didn't he just hug her waist and touch her pretty face? Did he hate me so much?

After taking a look at Yuan Xudong, Gu Qianfan and Lao Jia left, and the other tea drinkers also left. Only Yuan Xudong, his four guards, Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang were left in the teahouse.

Looking at Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong pushed the gold ingot on the table towards her and said with a smile:

"Madam Zhao, your tea art is excellent. This ingot of gold is a reward for you."

Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er didn't react. She hated Yuan Xudong in her heart. She hated all the dogs in the Imperial City Bureau. She thought Yuan Xudong was also a member of the Imperial City Bureau.

Sun Sanniang didn't know what Zhao Pan'er was thinking. When she heard Yuan Xudong say that he would give the gold ingot on the table to Zhao Pan'er, her eyes lit up and she felt happy for Zhao Pan'er. She estimated that the gold ingot was at least ten taels, which could be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver, or one hundred strings of money. God pity her, she had slaughtered pigs for three whole years and only saved one string of money.

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er didn't react, Sun Sanniang thought she was stunned by joy, so she quickly reached out and pushed her shoulder, urging:
"Pan'er, what are you thinking about? Why don't you thank the master quickly?"

At this time, Zhao Paner's stubborn temper came up. She looked at Yuan Xudong neither servile nor arrogant, and even said with a hint of obvious hostility:

"No merit, no reward. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yuan."

"Interesting, I can feel that you hate me very much."

Looking at Zhao Pan'er who looked stubborn, Yuan Xudong smiled slightly and said:

"Tell me, I saved you, why do you hate me?"

"Pan'er."

Sun Sanniang looked at Zhao Pan'er with some worry, afraid that she had annoyed Yuan Xudong. She also noticed Zhao Pan'er's abnormality. Her tone was stiff, not as gentle as usual. Was she angry about being flirted with by the other party?
Looking at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er knew that she could not go against the people of the Imperial City Bureau, so she suppressed the resentment in her heart and softened her voice:
"I don't hate you, thank you for saving me just now."

"Really not hating?"

"Don't hate."

Zhao Pan'er looked straight into Yuan Xudong's eyes. Looking at her, Yuan Xudong smiled and said calmly:
"Since you don't hate me, then make me another pot of good tea. I'm thirsty."

"you……"

Zhao Pan'er glared at Yuan Xudong. She didn't want to make tea for him anymore.
