Honeysuckle glared angrily at the man in front of him, ready to pounce on him at any moment.
In this aspect, she was similar to the empress. Both of them had explosive temperaments and would explode at the slightest provocation.
However, no one dared to provoke her, and explosions were rare. But this time, someone had ignited the fuse. Foggy had been wrongly accused, and in her heart, it was as if she had been wrongly accused!
Not to mention that Foggy had been beaten up so badly! If he hadn't happened to leave the palace today, Fuji might have been dead by the time he left the palace!
Ye Jing and the other two children, who were leaning against the door, were frightened. Although they knew that Er Hua was a princess, it did not stop them from being afraid of the Public Order Division.
These are two different things.
"Boss, Foggy is still locked up inside!" a youth shouted. The three of them didn't want to attract the attention of the Public Order Division, but in this situation, if they didn't warn their boss, he might really start fighting with them.
Boss was a princess, so she would definitely be fine, but Foggy was still locked up inside.
When Honeysuckle heard this, he remembered that the most important reason he had come was to fish Foggy out. He said hatefully, "Let Foggy out! He's the one you caught yesterday! "
The burly man was a little confused. The Public Security Bureau arrested a lot of people every day.
And most importantly, who are you?
"Who are you? Who is Fuji? "the burly man asked in a deep voice.
"I'm Qi Yuqing!" Honeysuckle glared at the big man with his teeth clenched.
"Foggy is Foggy, so tall …" He gestured casually, and then couldn't think of how to describe it, so he simply looked up. "Anyway, he's this tall! Let him out! "
"Qi?" The burly man was confused at first, but then he remembered something. His expression suddenly changed, and he carefully looked at Two Blossom in the night. Two Blossom was obviously wearing expensive clothes. Two Blossom was about 1.4 meters tall, and he looked about 10 years old. His small face was pretty, and if he looked carefully, he could vaguely see His Majesty's eyebrows.
It was indeed the princess!
The burly man thought to himself. He was glad that he didn't attack just now.
He cupped his fists and bowed. "Greetings, Your Highness!"
When the others who had been knocked down heard that it was the princess, they immediately got up to pay their respects and obediently stood to the side.
Originally, he was unhappy that he was beaten up by a little girl, but now that he knew it was the princess, he was happy in his heart. He was also beaten up by the princess!
"Hurry up and let Fuji out!" Honeysuckle roared.
"Yes!" The burly man did not hesitate and asked the others, "Did you catch a child this tall?"
The princess was a child, and so were the few people who were hiding at the door. The princess compared their heights again. The person who was slightly shorter than the princess was naturally a child.
They looked at each other, and then someone remembered, "I think we caught one yesterday."
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at the Princess. Seeing that the Princess was glaring at him with a dark expression, as if she wanted to beat him up, he hurriedly added, "Actually, he wasn't captured. He was sent here by someone else. He stole someone else's things."
"Foggy didn't steal anything! You've wrongly accused him! "Honeysuckle was furious.
"Princess, please calm down!" The burly man hurriedly said. "Aren't you going to bring him out?"
Not long after, he carried a half-grown child out from the back.
The reason why he carried the child was because the child was covered in blood. His hands were drooping, and he looked like he was half-dead.
Wild Thorn and the other two children immediately rushed over with a worried look.
The burly man furrowed his brows. "What happened?"
"He was already like this when he was sent here. He was beaten by the person who sent him here."
"Who? Who dares to be so heavy-handed in the Imperial Capital? "The burly man raised his eyebrows, and his expression was ugly.
There were many aboriginals who fought, and it was common for them to be seriously injured. However, to beat a child to such a state was really unpleasant. His impression of the other party had already soured even before they met.
"It's someone from the Jiang Family's Chamber of Commerce. The one who beat him was their guard, and he was whipped ten times yesterday."
The burly man nodded. According to the law, this was how it should be.
"Prepare a carriage and send him to the best medicine shop." After the burly man finished speaking, he turned to Honeysuckle and said, "Princess, the child is here. Send him for treatment, and he should be fine."
As for who was in the right and who was in the wrong, he couldn't be bothered to ask.
In any case, the Princess had already mentioned the person she wanted. The one who beat him also broke the law, and he was whipped ten times. That was the end of the matter.
However, Honeysuckle angrily questioned, "Where's the person who beat him?"
"Your Highness, he stole someone else's things, and the person who beat him has also been punished!" The burly man refused to budge.
"I didn't steal anything!" Foggy, who was on the verge of death, shouted out of nowhere and cried loudly, "Boss, I didn't steal anything! I really didn't steal anything! "
"He didn't steal anything!" Honeysuckle's small face was fierce, and there seemed to be a murderous aura around her, shocking the burly man.
"Your Highness, how about we send him for treatment first, and then we'll pursue the matter later?" the burly man said.
"Hurry up and send Foggy over!"
"Boss, I picked up a piece of gold, and someone saw it. That person coveted the gold and said that I stole it from him. I didn't steal it. I waited the whole afternoon to see if anyone would go back to look for it." Foggy struggled and cried. His hands were weak, and he couldn't exert any strength. However, the other children didn't have much strength either, and they almost fell to the ground when he struggled. The people from the Public Order Division hurriedly stepped forward to steady him.
Honeysuckle was furious when she heard this. Her anger seemed to be burning something in her body, making her feel uncomfortable and wanting to vent.
"Did you hear that? He didn't steal anything! Hand over the person who wronged him! "
The burly man turned his head and asked the man who had experienced the incident yesterday, "What evidence does he have?"
The man immediately broke out in a sweat.
When the burly man saw his appearance, he immediately understood something and said angrily, "You dare to imprison him without evidence? You dare to let him go? "
"The Jiang family's steward said that this kid stole his gold, and the stolen goods are also here …" the man stammered.
Where did this beggar-like kid get the gold? Moreover, there were witnesses and material evidence, so he didn't think too much about it.
But who would have thought that something big would happen? That kid actually knew the princess, and the princess even came knocking on his door.
The burly man was furious and kicked him to the side.
"Take some people and bring the steward of the Jiang family's Chamber of Commerce here to confront him. We'll naturally know who's telling the truth and who's lying."
After saying that, the burly man turned to Honeysuckle and cupped his fists. "Your Highness, we'll know what happens later. If the Jiang family steward is telling the truth, please don't make things difficult for him, Your Highness. "
If the Jiang family knew that this burly man could speak like this to the princess, they would definitely be touched.
The aboriginals were reckless by nature, but if they weren't, then they weren't. They rarely did those superficial things, and this could also be considered an advantage.
Honeysuckle's anger subsided a little, mainly because her anger wasn't directed at the person in front of her. She said, "Fuji wouldn't lie to me!"
…
The Jiang family's Chamber of Commerce's steward was surnamed Jiang, Jiang Xuan. He was a collateral descendant of the Jiang family. He wasn't very talented and didn't have any backing. After working for decades, he was only a small steward in the Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, he was drinking with someone in a restaurant in the city. Apart from him, there were a few other members of the Jiang family, including a descendant of the Jiang family in the imperial capital and the shopkeeper of the local Chamber of Commerce.
He didn't take to heart what happened yesterday. If that little beggar was in the Yun Nation, no one would do anything to him even if he was beaten to death on the spot.
Thus, he didn't expect to get into such big trouble.
The public order bureau first went to the Jiang family's residence in the imperial capital and hurried over after hearing about Jiang Xuan's whereabouts.
Jiang Xuan was fawning over the Jiang family descendant. After all, the other party was a descendant of the imperial family and was much stronger than him.
At this time, heavy footsteps came from the stairs. A few armed constables from the public order bureau came up with gloomy expressions and headed straight for this table.
"You!" The shopkeeper was considered a local tyrant. He got up and was interrupted halfway.
The person pointed at Jiang Xuan. "You, come with us!"
Jiang Xuan got up with a puzzled expression and forced a smile. "You, what exactly is the matter?"
His eyes scanned the faces of the newcomers and saw one of the constables he had seen yesterday. He was even more puzzled.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" one of them said coldly. They all had gloomy expressions. Their attitudes weren't good mainly because the princess had come looking for them, and things had changed. However, they weren't sure who was telling the truth and who was lying. They didn't completely treat Jiang Xuan as a criminal.
Otherwise, they would just beat him up and drag him back.
A young man in his twenties sitting at the head of the table stood up and smiled. "You, I am Jiang Ning. I have also paid my respects to Master White Stone. I wonder what crime Jiang Xuan of the Jiang family has committed. Even if you want to arrest someone, you have to give an explanation? "
The faces of the constables were dark. It was because this Jiang family had some status and had connections with the head of the public order bureau, White Stone Eagle, that they believed his words yesterday and threw the kid into jail.
"Explanation? Humph! You know what happened yesterday! "The constables ignored Jiang Ning and spoke directly to Jiang Xuan. "Come with me to confront him. Did that kid steal your gold, or did you covet someone else's gold and falsely accuse him?"
Jiang Xuan's heart jumped! A hint of panic flashed through his eyes.
Then he straightened himself and forced a smile. "Didn't you already find out what happened yesterday?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Come with me to the public order bureau to confront him!" The constables' face was impatient.
Jiang Xuan was flustered. He didn't know what had gone wrong.
Yesterday, it was clearly a little beggar who had been sent to jail. Why did he want to bring him to confront him today?
Jiang Xuan had lived for dozens of years and didn't have any great abilities. He could tell people's status at a glance and step on them. This was his instinct, and it was the way of survival for small fry.
That was why he had been so daring yesterday.
Now that he realized that something was wrong, he immediately began to panic.
He forced himself to calm down and turned his head to smile at Jiang Ning. "Seventh Young Master, a little thief stole something of mine yesterday. It seems that they want me to go to the public order bureau to confront him. I'll go with them."
Jiang Ning could naturally tell that something was wrong from the attitude of the constables. He looked at him and thought of something. "Since there's nothing else, I'll go see what's going on."
Jiang Xuan was overjoyed. With Jiang Ning here, he felt much more at ease.
He made up his mind that no matter what, he would insist that it was the little thief who stole his things.
He had to figure out how to smooth things over and not give himself away.
First, he had to set a small goal. For example, one second.
