The night was dark and the lanterns were lit.
Luoyang City was under curfew. The city gates were closed and the streets were dark. The residents had returned to their rooms and the shops were closed.
On the quiet street, only a man and a horse were walking alone.
Yang Fan sat on the horse, his body still straight, but his eyes were gloomy. His hand was loosely holding the reins, but in fact, he did not care where the horse was going. The old horse knew the way, and it was heading home on its own.
The faint sound of bamboo fluttered in the wind. Behind the walls were buildings of different heights. During the curfew, the entire city was deserted. This was the only place where the doors and windows were not closed. Lanterns were hung high and the doors and windows were wide open. Bamboo fluttered in the wind and the curtains were fluttering in the wind.
This was the Gentleness Square, a place where beauties gathered to sing and dance. At this hour, it was the time when brothels were open for business.
"Stop! Who dares to walk on the streets during curfew! "
With a shout, a group of patrolling Jin Wu Guards appeared from the corner of the street and blocked in front of Yang Fan's horse. Seeing that someone was blocking in front of it, the horse automatically stopped. Yang Fan slowly raised his head and glanced at them. His face was pale and he didn't say a word.
"Yo! So it's General Zhong Wu! "
One of the Jin Wu Guards was holding a lantern. When he saw Yang Fan's appearance, he couldn't help but be delighted.
This person was the Right Patrolling Envoy of the Jin Wu Guards, Ding Sheng. He had once been beaten up by the Thousand Cavalry Guards. The Jin Wu Guards and the Thousand Cavalry Guards had a grudge against each other and after several fierce battles, Yang Fan even led his men to charge into the Jin Wu Guards' camp. Naturally, Ding Sheng recognized him. Now that he saw Yang Fan in his hands, Ding Sheng was overjoyed.
At this time, the lanterns were just lit and the brothels weren't at their busiest yet. Many of the prostitutes were leaning against the railings, lazily admiring the scenery. Actually, the street was deserted and there wasn't much to see. It was just that they were doing business at night and it was rare for them to rest during the day. Thus, they could enjoy themselves while waiting for customers.
The Jin Wu Guards blocking the late returning guests immediately attracted their attention. Girls loved to be charming. Seeing the handsome man dressed in green, the girls at the top of the building waved their handkerchiefs and said, "Sir, he's only late for a moment. Let him go."
There were also some women who flirtatiously said, "What a handsome young man. Why don't you not leave? Why don't you climb over the wall? I promise to serve you comfortably."
This was a brothel with overhanging eaves and arches, painted rafters and carved beams. The women leaning on the railings had their hair in a bun and their clothes were half covered. They were tall, short, fat, thin, and beautiful. It was truly a dazzling sight. A soldier of the Jin Wu Guards raised his head and saw a stretch of steaming and trembling 'Shandong Big White Steamed Buns'. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Ding Sheng shouted impatiently towards the top of the building, "Go, go, go! When the Jin Wu Guards are handling matters, all unrelated people are to leave. What are you all interrupting for? Be careful, this official will punish you for obstructing official business. "
Someone at the top of the building immediately curled his lips in disdain. "Who do you think you are? A toad yawning. What a big tone. You're from the Jin Wu Guards, right? General Wu of your Jin Wu Guards is right here with us. If you have the ability, come and arrest us. "
Ding Sheng pretended not to hear it and turned to glare at Yang Fan. "General Yang, although you're a general in the court, you can't violate the law. Those who are loitering on the streets after the curfew without a valid reason are either up to no good or burglary! May I ask if you're attending a wedding, buying medicine, or carrying out official business? "
The last time Ding Sheng was beaten up by the Thousand Cavalry Guards, the other party was still in the right. So this time, he was more cautious and wanted to clarify things. Yang Fan lightly shook his head and lightly said, "None of those!"
Ding Sheng heard it and knew that it was reasonable. He looked up to the sky and laughed, "Then I'm sorry. This general has the responsibility of patrolling the streets and naturally has to handle matters impartially. General Yang has violated the curfew, so please come with me. Someone come! Arrest him and let him go tomorrow morning! "
According to the rules of the curfew, those who violated the curfew would usually be detained and released after the curfew. Of course, if the other party was a thief or intended to resist, then it would be a different story. If the other party resisted fiercely, then executing them on the spot was also fine.
Although Ding Sheng wanted to punish Yang Fan to vent his anger, he also knew that Yang Fan was not someone to be trifled with. Although he was in the right, he could only detain the other party for a night at most. He couldn't afford to bear the consequences. With Yang Fan's current status, detaining him for a night was enough to make him lose all face.
Several Jin Wu Guards listened to the patrolling envoy's orders and swarmed forward to arrest Yang Fan. At this time, the windows of the building suddenly opened at the same time and the entire room was filled with light, illuminating the streets.
In front of the middle window stood a short, dark-skinned man with a wine cup in his hand. On his left and right were two tall, plump, and fair-skinned young girls, which formed a strong contrast with him. The shorter and thinner a man was, the more he liked tall and plump women, as if this would give him a sense of conquest.
This man was Wu Yizong. In front of the other windows stood a man dressed in light robes. They were of different ages and heights, and each of them was accompanied by an enchanting and charming woman. It seemed that Wu Yizong was having a gathering with his good friends and only opened the window to look after hearing the women's conversation.
Seeing that the person below the building was Yang Fan, Wu Yizong was overjoyed and immediately shouted to Ding Sheng, "If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner. Are you still going to allow him to sit on the horse? Call him down, check his identity, and search his body for any prohibited items. "
Seeing Wu Yizong, Ding Sheng immediately found his backbone and shouted to Yang Fan, "Dismount!"
Yang Fan didn't say anything and quietly dismounted. At this moment, his heart was abnormally heavy. His thoughts were still immersed in endless sorrow and he didn't have the mood to argue with these people.
Ding Sheng originally thought that Yang Fan wouldn't agree, but he didn't expect him to really dismount. This surprised Ding Sheng, not knowing why Yang Fan was willing to submit. But the general was watching from the top of the building and Ding Sheng didn't dare to show weakness to Yang Fan. Seeing Yang Fan dismount, he shook his head to two soldiers and said, "Go, search him!"
Don't be fooled by these soldiers' chatter just now. If they were to really search Yang Fan's body, they would also feel apprehensive. The person in front of them was the one who led the troops to charge into the Jin Wu Guards' camp. In the end, not only was he safe and sound, he was even promoted. How could they dare to provoke such a person? They could only tremble with fear and trepidation as they bravely searched Yang Fan.
"Street patrol, he has a letter on him."
The soldier took out the letter and just turned around to report to Ding Sheng, his wrist was grabbed by Yang Fan. Yang Fan's hand was like a red-hot soldering iron. The soldier only felt that his wrist bones were about to break. He grimaced in pain and tears were about to fall. His five fingers naturally loosened.
Yang Fan said, "This is a personal letter!" He carefully took back Ning Ke's will from the soldier for fear of accidentally damaging it. Seeing that he was in high spirits, Ding Sheng immediately shouted, "Who wrote that letter and what did it say?"
Yang Fan glanced at him and said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you!"
Wu Yizong threw the wine cup from upstairs and shouted, "Take him down and show me that letter!"
Yang Fan slowly raised his head and looked at the top of the building, saying word by word, "The letter is not a prohibited thing. It involves personal privacy. General Wu, please don't go too far!"
Wu Yizong raised his eyebrows and said with an evil smile, "Privacy? Could it be that you relied on that handsome face of yours to hook up with a love letter from a shameless and unscrupulous woman? "
Wu Yizong's words were meant to allude to Princess Taiping. But although he was arrogant, he did not dare to mention Princess Taiping's name in public, so he spoke vaguely. Hearing that he insulted Ning Ke, Yang Fan's eyes flashed and he shouted sternly, "Shut up!"
Wu Yizong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Ning Ke's sore spot. He said even more fiercely, "What? Did I hit the nail on the head? Yang Fan, the b * tch who wrote to you is nothing but a slutty vixen. When it comes to serving men, how could she compare to the women in the Tenderness Workshop? "
He stretched out his hands and embraced the two women on his left and right. He was small and thin, but he was hugging two tall and plump women. It was really strange. But he was proud of himself. He rubbed the two women's breasts and buttocks and said with a smile, "Yang Fan, can the woman who wrote the letter be more coquettish than the women here? Why don't you send that woman to the Tenderness Workshop to serve more men? This kind of romantic ability … "
"Thief, how dare you!"
A loud shout came from outside the wall, but it sounded as if it was right next to Wu Yizong's ear, causing his body to tremble violently. He saw Yang Fan leap up, with one big stride he leaped over the open ditch outside the wall, his feet stepping hard on the half of the wall that was about ten feet high, his whole body like a monkey leaping through the sky into the air.
Yang Fan's figure slightly descended, the tip of his foot kicked off the top of the wall, and like an eagle, he pounced towards Wu Yizong. In midair, he fiercely punched towards Wu Yizong's face. Wu Yizong only saw a fist the size of a bowl whistling towards him, and he was dumbstruck.
Although the two sides were in constant discord, he was the Jun Wang of Hanoi after all. Although Yang Fan dared to challenge him, he always knew his limits. Even when Yang Fan rushed into the camp to save him last time, he only snatched the people and left without daring to touch him. But now …
He had no doubt that if Yang Fan's fist really hit him, his head would immediately become a rotten persimmon. Although Wu Yizong was incompetent, he was after all a leader of an army and his skills were considered agile. Seeing the iron fist coming towards him, he suddenly came to his senses. With a strange cry, he exerted strength in his arms and hugged the two tall and plump beauties in front of his chest.
Although Yang Fan's anger was attacking his heart, his mind was still clear, he did not want to hurt the innocent. Seeing that it was too late to pull back his fist, he hastily twisted his arm and ferociously punched the window frame with his iron fist. With a loud bang, half of the window frame was smashed into pieces, brick and stone debris and dust flew everywhere, the half window could not be hung and fell downstairs.
Yang Fan crashed into the building and fell together with Wu Yizong and the two women. The floor was covered with a fluffy carpet. The four of them were not injured when they fell but the two women were frightened and screamed non-stop. Wu Yizong scrambled two steps to escape and climbed up in a sorry state. He shouted fiercely, "Yang Fan, you dare to humiliate me like this?"
Yang Fan roared and suddenly jumped up like an angry tiger. He punched again. Fortunately, Wu Yizong was short and his legs were low so he could move more flexibly. He suddenly turned around and ran out of the door. As he rushed out of the room, he did not forget to close the door.
Yang Fan was like a gust of wind. The Minister of Justice Wang Chenghao, the Minister of Finance Tang Xiaoxiao, the Assistant Minister of Revenue Qiu Lingzhi, and the General of the Thousand Ox Guards Jiang Chiyuan all stood there dumbstruck. Their sleeves were pulled toward the door by the strong wind created by Yang Fan's rushing figure.
Yang Fan's fist arrived and hit the door. An extremely sturdy door immediately broke into pieces. Wood splinters flew everywhere. Yang Fan broke through the door and roared sternly, "Dogs and rats! Where are you going! "
