"This is my father's disciple, Xu Qingjie, Senior Brother Xu."

Qiao Zhenzhen looked at Han Zheng with an open and unobtrusive gaze.

Then she introduced to Xu Qingjie, "This is--" She said that her fiancé was not suitable, so she changed her explanation, "The eldest son of Duke Dingguo, Han Qichen."

Xu Qingjie was stunned for a moment, Prince Dingguo...

Isn't that junior sister's future husband?

The soft and gentle eyes lost their warmth in an instant, and the eyes looking at Han Zheng were filled with scrutiny, but he did not show it too openly.

"Prince Han, I have heard about his fame for a long time."

Xu Qingjie crossed his hands and bowed slightly.

"Brother Xu."

Han Zheng raised his hand to him.

His eyes stayed on this handsome and elegant man for a while.

He quickly turned to Qiao Zhenzhen and said, "Are uncle and aunt here today?"

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled and said, "We're here, but we left separately. My father didn't let us follow. He wanted to go shopping with my mother by himself."

She said this intentionally to put Xu Qingjie aside. Her original intention was to prevent Han Zheng from misunderstanding, but the deeper meaning was that she did not want to drag Xu Qingjie into this already complicated love triangle.

But Xu Qingjie didn't understand, and felt disappointed.

Han Zheng nodded to express his understanding.

After saying hello, Han Zheng came to Min Hui again to deal with the incident.

The man who was originally arrogant and kept saying "I'll be the one to kill him" almost hugged his companions when facing Han Zheng.

"It's you?"

Han Zheng's voice was like frost and snow, concise and clear.

Zhu Zai pressed his hand on the scabbard at his waist and snorted coldly with contempt in his eyes.

"No, no, no..."

Min Hui's head shook like a rattle.

"It's not what it's not!" Zhu Zai yelled, "It's you guys again. Haven't you learned your lesson from what happened last time?"

Min Hui and the two men beside him supported each other before their legs were weak and they knelt down.

Qiao Zhenzhen looked at Ten Wan at her feet, and Ten Wan said, "Is this the kind of cannon fodder character in novels who flirts with good women and then gets brutally raped?"

"Probably, I've probably been taught a lesson by Han Zheng before. Don't tell me, Han Zheng is really suitable for this job. Any dude who acts arrogantly in front of him must think about the consequences. Enforcement will be absolutely effective."

It's just a bit overkill.

Ten Wan said with disdain: "You are an idiot."

"This guy surnamed Min is also careless. Although Han Zheng is the deputy commander of the Dongcheng Military and Horse Division, today is a special day and his duty scope has been expanded."

The Grand Canal runs north-south, and the area they were in today was south of the city.

"Your surname is Min?" Ten Thousand Eyeballs rolled his eyes and asked, "Is it the fat Min who had a conflict with your father before?"

"It's his home."

"How come his family isn't in trouble yet? It's been a long time since the emperor checked on his family."

"How can it be that fast? It will take at least three months." Qiao Zhenzhen guessed.

They were chatting leisurely with each other, and Han Zheng had already taken care of it.

Because Ten Thousand had already taken action and dragged those few people to a miserable state, Han Zheng did not continue to enforce the law violently. Instead, he asked Zhu Zai and his team to send Min Hui and his party to Shuntian Mansion.

The one who made a protest was quickly removed by Han Zheng.

The prince Dingguo enforces the law and always speaks little and neatly.

Once upon a time, a second-generation dandy was punished. When his father complained to the emperor, the emperor instead praised him for his selflessness, and finally gave him a reward.

In short, there are three major government palaces, except for the one that rebelled more than ten years ago.

As long as the other two families are not guilty of treason, it will be difficult to shake their foundation.

Before leaving, Han Zheng did not come forward to say goodbye to Qiao Zhenzhen. He just looked back at her and nodded slightly when his eyes met hers.

Xu Qingjie remained silent as he watched a group of people being led away dejectedly.

He deeply felt the gap between himself and Han Qichen.

When something happened, he couldn't protect his junior sister at all, instead he was the one being protected.

He lowered his eyes slightly, with disappointment in his eyes.

Ten Wan didn't follow Han Zheng, it stuck close to Qiao Zhenzhen, "I'll follow you today, let's see who dares to bump into me without being quick-witted, and make them walk around without food!"

"How can you be so unlucky? Don't say bad words."

"It's hard to say. With your accidental physique, maybe those guys just now were just appetizers."

"I bother!"

Qiao Zhenzhen ignored it and said to Xu Qingjie: "Brother Xu, let's go, let's continue shopping. Should the dragon boat race start, or has it already started?"

In the end, Xu Qingjie couldn't hold it back and said in a low voice: "I promised Master and Master to take care of you, but I still failed to take good care of my little junior sister."

Qiao Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed twice.

"What's the point? Besides, this incident didn't originally happen because of you. On the contrary, you were brought down by me. The old man of the Min family has a grudge against my father. They are just looking for trouble." She paused and continued. Said, "Besides, you are a scholar, but you still want to rush up and beat someone."

Xu Qingjie smiled bitterly, "I think so."

"It doesn't have to be like this. Protecting a person requires more than just force." Qiao Zhenzhen said, "Look at my father, who is so weak that he can't lift it with his hands or carry it on his shoulders. However, he protected my mother very well. But Fan said If my mother is not good, he will..."

Before Qiao Zhenzhen finished speaking, she realized that this metaphor seemed inappropriate.

She cleared her throat and said, "What I mean is that Senior Brother Xu is a weak scholar just like my father. Your strengths are not in martial arts. Why use your weaknesses to compete with others' strengths? In this way, the gains outweigh the losses."

Xu Qingjie seemed not to notice, a smile appeared on his face, "What the junior sister said is true, I should learn from the teacher."

Qiao Zhenzhen laughed and said, "Let's go watch the dragon boat race."

A group of people walked to the river. The dragon boat race here was not much different from the modern dragon boat race that Qiao Zhenzhen watched. The southern area was the end of the dragon boat race, so there were a lot of people gathering.

In order to prevent bumping into another rash person, the Mo family's guards guarded the person a little tightly.

Moreover, some of the guards went to find Mo Qingyang and temporarily transferred six more people.

Guards and maids, a total of fourteen people.

Qiao Zhenzhen and Xu Qingjie were firmly guarded in the middle, plus there were onlookers on the three floors inside and three floors outside. From Qiao Zhenzhen's height, nothing could be seen.

Somewhat disappointing.

Someone among the guards asked Qiao Zhenzhen if he wanted to drive away some people and clear a place for them so that they could have a good viewing experience.

Qiao Zhenzhen refused.

After decades of being an ordinary citizen, and now becoming a member of the privileged class, her mentality has remained very good and she has not become arrogant.

"I'm sorry, senior brother, come with me, it's hard to be crowded with others." Qiao Zhenzhen apologized.

"It's okay. I don't like to join in the fun. This time, the teacher asked me to come out and relax. It's fine that we just walk around casually."

It seems that Xu Qingjie is also an otaku.

It's good. The same is true for Qiao Zhenzhen. She prefers to stay out of the crowd instead of being squeezed into the crowd and smelling messy.

A guard came forward to report to her, "Miss, there is an entourage who claims to be Young Master Wei of the Marquis of Jian'an, and he has come to see you."
