Xiao Bei sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, then tell me, what do you want to achieve? Even if you destroy all of ours, you won't be able to build your own. You don't agree with us building it together, and you can't do it yourself.
From what you're saying, your father should be very powerful, so why don't you just ask him to send a few people to help you build it? Why do you have to make trouble for us? We're younger than you, so as an older brother, can't you give in a little? "
Xiao Bei really couldn't bear to do anything violent to a child. She could feel it. Don't look at the other party's age. If she just sent out two people, other than Jun 'er and Pan' er, they would be able to beat the other party down.
Since last year, the nine of them had been receiving simple combat training from her brother and sister. In fact, it was just to train their bodies, but their movements were suitable for actual combat. Her sister always said that her brother didn't teach the nine of them how to train, but wanted to train the nine of them into killers.
Besides, there were many bodyguards around. Bullying a child was really boring.
But the other party always wanted to make trouble. It was too annoying. Whose child was this? So immature. Who was his father? Jun 'er and Pan' er's father was the emperor, so they still had to help hold the snow.
Everyone was just having fun, so why did they have to be like this?
Thinking like this, Xiao Bei was very distressed.
The other party's education naturally couldn't compare to Xiao Bei and the others, so he thought that Xiao Bei and the others were more afraid of him, so he said,
"My purpose is to not allow you to build a snowman. If you build one, I will break it. If you dare to tell the people here, I won't let you go when I get out."
"Why should I? You have to be reasonable, right? "Xiao Bei asked. She regretted asking because she already knew what the other party would say.
Sure enough, the older child said, "Reason? I'm the reason. "
Xiao Bei was a little dazed for a moment. She sighed that her brother and sister were really amazing. The story they told was too classic. That story really talked about the joys and sorrows of the world, taking into account all kinds of things.
Jun 'er and Pan' er were already pouting, but the other eight children were speechless.
Xiao Bei chose to back down again, "You're too much of a bully. How about this, I'll treat you to good food later. It's not sold here. You definitely can't eat it normally, okay?"
"What can I not eat? Do you know who my father is? Do you know how much I spent to come here? Just the best room alone costs 50 strings of coins a night, which is 50,000 copper coins. Other than the room that is not open to the public, this is the best room. Do you know how much it costs to eat a meal? Apart from those that are not for sale, a meal costs 20 strings of cash. "
The big boy puffed out his chest, and his two followers also looked proud.
One of the lackeys even said, "Even if our Young Master spent all this money, he didn't need to pay for it. In the local area, he could just move his hand and endless amounts of money would be sent to him. Officials, you know? This is an official. "
As Xiao Bei listened, his face sank. He slowly nodded and said, "I understand. An official, huh? What a powerful official. If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that you've spent more than a hundred dollars a day? Alright, I originally planned to let you go, but now I know that if I really let you and your father go, I would be letting down my 'skin'. "
"What skin? What can you do if you don't let me go? "The big boy was a little afraid of Xiao Bei's solemn and dignified expression, so he asked in a trembling voice.
The lackey next to him continued, "Why, can you afford such expensive food?"
Xiao Bei shook his head. "We can't afford it because we don't have money. I used to be a county magistrate, and now the county is nominally under my control, but there are too few people. I can't take money from them for my own food and entertainment. If I really did that, I would have to force them to death.
So we can't afford the food you said, which costs 20 strings of coins a meal, and we can't afford to stay in your room, which costs 50 strings of coins a night. I can only stay in a free room, which is the room and food that you just said is not open to the public.
Because my name is Zhang Xiaobei, and his name is Wang Xiaoyuan. Among the nine of us, only two surnames are Zhang Yong and Wang. We are … "
When the adults who were helping the children to build snowmen heard Xiao Bei's words, a word naturally appeared in their minds. After counting the number of people, they were even more certain that this was the Tang Dynasty's nine-person Patrol, who could kill corrupt officials and flick the emperor.
The older child still didn't know the identity of the other party, but he felt that the other party was not inferior to him, so he asked, "Who is your father?"
"Your father is now the Minister of Works. Let's not talk nonsense. Men, tie up his family's adults and bring them to me." Xiao Bei was really angry. Since the other party bumped into the muzzle of his gun, if he didn't teach them a lesson, wouldn't his position as an official be in vain?
The surrounding adults confirmed Xiao Bei's identity once again and mourned for the older child and his family. This time, it was really over.
"Mother, is that younger sister very powerful?" a girl asked her mother.
"She's not powerful. Girl, don't worry. She won't bully you. If you want, you can build a snowman with her," the mother said to her daughter.
The girl still didn't understand. "Then how can she get people to catch people? This is the place of the Zhang Yong and Wang Family."
"She can catch people anywhere here, not to mention the Zhang Yong and Wang Family. There are bad people here, so she caught them," the mother explained.
"Oh! Bad people, I understand. "The girl nodded vigorously.
Since Xiao Bei said to catch people, the guards naturally wouldn't let the three of them go. They rushed over and began to restrict the movements of the three people.
"Why? Why do you have people catch me? Let me tell you, this is the place of the Zhang Yong and Wang Family. I can't deal with you here. Wait until we get out, "the older child still didn't know how much trouble he had caused and shouted with all his might.
"There's no need to get out. I can deal with you here. You actually dared to kick my snowman. If I deal with you, I won't be called Zhang Xiao Bei. Kicking my snowman is one thing, but you even dare to talk about your father, an official. I want to see just how powerful your father is."
This time, Xiao Bei let out all of his anger.
Pan 'er didn't care about these things. She pulled on Xiao Bei's clothes and pointed at the unfinished snowman, saying, "Xu ~ ren ~"
"Right, right, right, I almost forgot. You go catch them first. I'll finish building the snowman first. Little sister Pan 'er, that's called a snowman." Xiao Bei returned to his senses and continued to build the snowman.
"Xu ~ ren ~ ren." Pan 'er repeated.
"Alright, who cares what it's called. Let's finish it first." Xiao Bei turned around and continued to build the snowman. This was a big matter. Catching people was just a small matter.
When the first snowman was finished and the second snowman was about to be built, the older child's father and a few other attendants were tied up and brought over.
The older child's father looked to be in his forties. When he saw Xiao Bei, he was stunned for a moment before kneeling on the ground. He cried as he explained, "Lord Zhang, I'm innocent. I didn't know that my son had offended you. I'll break his legs later. You're a great person and don't hold a grudge. Please let him go this time."
Xiao Bei curled his lips, "Don't talk to me about these useless things. Do you think I'm a child? Don't you know why I caught you? You're making it sound like I'm trying to kill a child. Say it yourself, where did the money come from? Don't wait for me to have someone take you out for torture.
Don't expect anyone to protect you. I believe you know the rules. If you offend us, you'll be guilty and punished. Where did you get the money to stay in a room that costs 50 strings of coins per night and eat 20 strings of coins per meal? Tell me the method and I'll go find a government to embezzle some money. I have a feeling that this is faster than our candy house. "
Xiao Bei already knew the identity of the other party before he was caught. Jiangnan West Road, Yuan Zhou's assassin, Fang Kong, Fang Huaisheng. He had brought his son out to play. When he went back and forth, it would definitely exceed the normal holiday time, and not just by a little.
Even if they didn't accuse him of embezzlement, they could at least accuse him of leaving his post without permission. Who would believe that?
Fang Kong knelt there, trembling. When he was caught, the other party revealed their identity. When he heard that they were from the Zhuang Zhuang Protection Team, he knew he was done for. He could even guess who had caused this trouble. It had to be his son. Because of that, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan wouldn't come to catch him.
His son said that he went to build a snowman. At the place where his son was playing, he must have met Zhang Xiaobao and the others.
At that moment, he didn't even feel any regret. He knew the consequences of being caught by Zhang Xiaobao and the others. In Tang, no one could protect him. He didn't even have the opportunity to bribe.
Now that he heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, he really wanted to say, "You're just a kid. If I don't lie to you, who will I lie to?" But he knew that it was useless to say this. When he looked at his son again, he couldn't wait to rush over and strangle him. What a wastrel! He had provoked them and even sold him out.
"Speak. Don't wait for me to take measures. Speak frankly. Whether you live or die will be judged by the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Supreme Court. Of course, you were caught by us. Naturally, you will be severely punished. I believe you understand. Speak now, so that you won't suffer."
Xiaobei had learned a lot of interrogation techniques from Wang Juan. This set of words was actually a copy of the story. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan told stories to their younger siblings, they didn't deliberately say it. Instead, they brought it out naturally.
Jun 'er and Pan' er saw that the situation had changed and were a little scared. They squeezed next to Xiaobei. Only when Xiaobei hugged them did they feel safe. They blinked their big eyes and looked at Fang Kong in front of them.
At this moment, the older child who had his freedom restricted finally knew what kind of person he had provoked. His father had knelt down, but he only knew that these children were powerful. He couldn't figure out the background of the other party. His father was a fourth-rank official. He was in charge of the provincial governor of a province. Why would he be afraid?
The surrounding parents thought that it was natural. Damn it, a corrupt official dared to come to Jilin Province to play. Even if he gave a fake name and identity, he was still caught.
It was true that the net of heaven has wide meshes, but nothing escapes.
Fang Kong was very clear that if he really told the truth, even if his family was not destroyed, he would be beheaded. After all, he would die. He couldn't just admit it like this.
He shouted, "Lord Zhang, I'm innocent. This official only brought the children out to play. This animal must be talking nonsense. This official admits that I've been away for too long. This official asks Lord Zhang to show mercy on the children's behalf."
Xiaobei was unmoved. When she really wanted to deal with people, it could be said that her heart was as hard as stone. This was because she knew very well that all the people she dealt with were officials. If she let them go, then many people would suffer. It was better for one family to cry than to cry all the way.
Most importantly, she had heard too many such things in the stories of her brother and sister. The officials could come up with all kinds of reasons, but no matter which one it was, it couldn't change the nature of the matter.
Therefore, Xiaobei shook her head, "Official Fang, please hurry up. At most, I'll be a good man again after 18 years. Even if my head falls off, it'll just be a scar the size of a bowl. I still want to build a snowman."
At this moment, Fang Kong finally understood why Xiaobei and the others could become Great Tang's Patrol Inspectors. It could be said that they were impenetrable. However, he didn't want to die. If he confessed, then he would definitely die.
"I refuse to accept this. I want to go to His Majesty and sue you. What do you bunch of children know?"
"Official Fang, don't talk nonsense, okay? It's not like you don't know our family's intelligence system. Isn't it easy to investigate you? What are you shouting for? Do you want to get sympathy? Do you think we care about what others think? "
Zhang Qiang was vexed and said at the side. The other children nodded. It was too easy to distinguish whether it was true or not. They just had to get someone to investigate.
"I refuse to accept this. I want to see His Majesty. Your Zhang Family and Wang Family control the court and deceive His Majesty. I must see His Majesty. Where is the justice?"
Fang Kong still wanted to resist.
"Who wants to see Us? How did Xiaobei deceive Us? Us want to hear it. "At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Li Longji also came over with a heavy expression. On the way here, he had already heard the whole story. Xiaobei had really backed off time and time again because the other party was a child. When Xiaobei didn't intend to back down, things became troublesome. Thus, a provincial governor was arrested.
Li Longji could only sigh. Xiaobei was too sensible. A provincial governor's son could be so arrogant, but Xiaobei could endure it. How old were Xiaobei and the others?
How could the provincial governor's son dare to compare to his father? It was clear how his family educated him, and he also knew what kind of people his parents were.
When Xiao Bei saw that Li Longji had arrived, she ran over with Jun 'er and Pan' er, "Uncle Emperor, look, he's really annoying, lying with his eyes wide open. I've already checked, they're all living in the most luxurious rooms and eating the most luxurious food. They're just short of eating bear paws and tigers.
I've already sent people to investigate his family background. I want to see where he got the money. Also, his son said that he didn't spend his own money when he went out to play. What kind of money is that? Anyone who isn't an idiot would know, right? "
Jun 'er and Pan' er were also saying things that weren't clear. They were expressing that they were very angry and wanted to complain. Through Pan 'er's words of' betrothal ', the surrounding people also knew what was going on. The snowman was kicked.
"Oh, come Pan 'er, let father hug you. The snowman was kicked, right? It's fine, father will help you vent your anger. "At this time, Li Longji turned into a father. He hugged his daughter and kissed her.
Fang Kong still had some hope, but when he saw that the youngest girl was actually the emperor's daughter, he was immediately stunned. The emperor actually spoke like this in front of so many people.
While he was stunned, Li Longji didn't care about his identity as the emperor. He rushed over with his daughter and kicked Fang Kong, "Who told your son to bully my daughter? I'll let your son bully my daughter."
Pan 'er smiled happily. Her eyes narrowed into a pair of crescent moons. She hugged her father's neck with one hand and waved the other. Xiaobei's style was unmistakable.
Fang Kong was stunned by the kick. Was this still the emperor?
The surrounding people were also stunned. This was the first time they had heard of an emperor like this, and the first time they had seen one. But after thinking about it, they felt that this emperor was the real emperor. He wasn't a statue. When his daughter was being bullied, he was a real father. He used the most direct method to help his daughter find an emperor of flesh and blood.
Fang Kong was kicked twice in a row. It wasn't that he didn't dare to dodge because of his status, but that he really couldn't. Li Longji was truly skilled in archery and horseback riding. He was very strong when it came to duels.
After the kick, his daughter smiled. Li Longji said to Fang Kong, "I'll give you a chance to explain. If you say that you didn't do what Xiaobei did to you, I won't kill you. But if you really did and you don't explain, I'll sentence you to one person. After you explain, I'll search your house and exterminate your family."
"This … this subject knows his mistake." Fang Kong really wanted to explain, but he knew that the Zhang Family and Wang Family's intelligence network were very powerful. They would definitely be able to find out.
As soon as he said that, the surrounding people understood that Xiaobei didn't wrongly accuse him.
Fang Kong took a look at his son and said while gritting his teeth, "This subject deserves death. However, this subject earnestly requests Your Majesty to protect this subject's family. I'll tell you everything. I'm the Provincial Governor of Yuan Zhou. But my words don't count. Even if I die, I won't let others have an easy time."
Everyone understood again that Fang Kong's power had been taken away.
At this time, Xiaobei said, "You don't need to go to Uncle Emperor. I'll guarantee the safety of your family. Say it. If you say it, you may not die. At most, you'll be sent away. If you make enough contributions, I can even let you have an easier time when you're sent away. You won't have a bad life when you're sent away."
When Fang Kong heard Xiao Bei's words, he rearranged his posture and kowtowed to Xiao Bei. "This official thanks Patrol Inspector Zhang. This official's family has been entrusted to Patrol Inspector Zhang. This official will tell you everything. You have to be quick too. News travels very quickly."
Xiaobei nodded solemnly and ordered, "Guards, protect the Provincial Governor Fang and his family. Pay attention to the investigation. I'd like to see who can cover the sky with one hand and temporarily block the telecommunication system of Jili Province."
Immediately, someone took the order and left. At this moment, no news could be sent out, at least not by telegram.
Li Longji found that the situation was serious, so he also promised Fang Kong, "Xiaobei's promise is my decision. I also want to see how many local emperors there are in Tang."
Li Longji didn't need Fang Kong to say too much. He already knew what he was going to say. It was a big deal that someone in Tang could control the government of a province. But what kind of means did he use to do that was the most important thing.
After getting the promise from Xiaobei and the Emperor, Fang Kong finally let out a sigh of relief. If the Emperor and the Zhang Family couldn't protect him in Tang, he didn't need to think about who could. Especially the Zhang Family and the Wang Family, whose reaction speed was always so reassuring.
The parents around didn't know what to do. They wanted to leave, but the Emperor's people were standing at the gate. They didn't want to leave, but they were afraid that they knew too much.
Gao Lishi saw it clearly and said to the people around, "Today, His Majesty is interrogating the case in person. You can listen, but don't make a noise. Take care of the children."
