"Stop, you two are disrupting merchants in the market! Come with us to Kyoto Prefecture for questioning!"

A group of officers and men blocked Xiao Ding and Ning Luo aggressively.

"Madam, don't be afraid, I will handle it if you need anything."

Ning Luo smiled and nodded. She just let her husband handle this little matter. Just be a little lady today.

Sometimes it's fun to not be so condescending and experience the life of an ordinary couple.

"Dad, who are these people? They dare to scare us, do they deserve a beating?"

The baby in the belly saw that the official's speech was not good and wanted to fix it.

Ning Luo touched her belly in time and warned in a low voice: "Children, don't interfere in adults' matters. Eat and sleep well."

Every time the baby makes a move, she, the mother, is greatly devastated.

"Oh, I know."

The dolls absorbed the nutrients obediently and stopped moving.

After Xiao Ding fed Ning Luo a chestnut, he calmly asked the officials.

"Why do you accuse us of disrupting business?"

Seeing the extraordinary demeanor of these two people, the officials did not dare to arrest them directly.

Guo Rui, the head of the official mission, said: "Someone reported that you were driving up prices in Kyoto. You deliberately used a few taels of silver to buy things that originally cost a few pennies."

"We didn't raise prices. We all bought them at the original price. We just don't need change for the rest." Xiao Ding said the truth in a calm tone.

"Isn't it okay to reward vendors if I'm in a good mood?"

Guo Rui added: "Someone reported that you only bought goods from vendors and did not enter the shop, which caused others to think that the quality of goods in the shop was not as good as those from vendors."

Xiao Ding laughed angrily: "Is this reported by the store owner?"

"It is also."

"It's just that they are jealous of the good business of the vendors and resent us for not patronizing their shops."

"The small businesses run by street vendors are made by poor families who come to make a living during the Chinese New Year. I want to take care of their business so that they can have money to buy New Year's goods. Is this wrong?"

"We rewarded them with silver, and they used it to buy clothes, cloth, and rice oil for the New Year. Didn't it also bring business to the shops? The entire business in Kyoto has become more prosperous. If you don't thank us, you still want to take some money." If we go to the government office to ask questions, are we being foolish?"

A few words of retort left the officials speechless for a moment.

People eating melons and passers-by gathered around to watch the fun, there were three floors inside and outside.

There was a lot of discussion.

"My lord, people are kind and generous, how can you officials arrest people?"

"That's right, there is no law in Dayan that prohibits rewarding people."

"I saw that those vendors actually went to the shops to buy New Year's goods after receiving the silver reward."

"You officials are too idle and don't care about business."

"He must have accepted a bribe from the store owner, so he came here to make trouble."

"This couple is so good-looking, they don't look like bad people."

"..."

The officials were so angry that they drew their swords and drove away the people.

"The officials are doing business, you all have dispersed, leave quickly! Leave quickly!"

The people who wanted to speak for this kind-hearted couple dispersed in fear.

Xiao Ding frowned in displeasure when he saw the people dispersed under threat.

"I think what they say is reasonable. Why can't you accept the people's opinions?"

Guo Rui showed off his authority.

"This land is the imperial city, under the emperor's feet. We are official servants of the Kyoto government. What do we say?"

He waved his hand and gave the order.

"Brothers, capture these two and confiscate all the money they have!"

"Yes!"

Several officers drew their swords and approached.

Xiao Ding raised his foot and kicked them away.

They confiscated their weapons in a few moments.

Several officers were beaten until they were wailing and unable to fight back.

Xiao Ding brought up Guo Rui, the leader, for questioning again.

"How can the emperor let you scumbags ruin the law and ask, how did you get into the government office as an errand? Did you buy an official position?"

Seeing the officials being beaten, many people gathered around to watch the fun.

A few brave ones clapped their hands and applauded.

"Heroes have done a good job in fighting for justice. These dog officials like to bully the people and blackmail vendors. We have had enough of their arrogance and domineering."

"That's right, heroes are willing to do good, but officials arrest people randomly. It's shameful and hateful!"

A vendor who was rewarded by Xiao Ding came forward to give evidence: "My hero, this dog officer often comes to our stall to collect protection fees. He charges twenty coins a day. If he doesn't pay, he kicks over our stall and tramples on our goods. If you come across a good one, just confiscate it and not return it.”

Xiao Ding asked Guo Rui coldly: "Is what the people say true?"

Guo Rui was still arrogant: "You... what qualifications do you have to control an official?"

"Today, I will take care of it!"

Xiao Ding threw him to the ground and stepped heavily on his chest.

"Tell me, what other immoral things have you done?"

Guo Rui was stepped on so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.

"You... still dare to hit me. Do you know who my father is? I'll scare you to death if I tell you his name."

Ning Luo asked mockingly: "Didn't your mother tell you?"

"Haha..." the people laughed.

"You have grown so old that you don't even know who your father is. Your father's love for you is in vain."

"It's just that I don't even know my father's name. Is he a bastard?"

Guo Rui's face turned the color of pig liver.

"My father is Guo Yonghuai, the Minister of War at the time. Just wait, I will make your life worse than death soon."

"Oh, it turns out he is the son of Guo Shilang." Xiao Ding was still somewhat impressed by this Guo Yonghuai.

Guo Rui threatened proudly: "Are you afraid? Let me go quickly, or I will cut you into pieces in a while."

"Ha, I want to see how you can tear me into pieces." Xiao Ding slapped him several times.

"Among the dandies in Kyoto, you are the most arrogant! I would like you to choose how to die."

Seeing that this man was not afraid, Guo Rui immediately loudly ordered several subordinates: "Quickly, go and call all the brothers over, and then ask Mr. Guo, the commander of Dongcheng's troops and horses, to lead troops to arrest these unruly people."

"Yes."

The few officers got up from the ground and rushed to call for reinforcements.
