Aunt Wang walked out of the alley and first looked at the majestic carriage under the archway in amazement. Then she brought her child to shout to the servant, "Fugui, why didn't you go to my house and call me when you came?"

Wang Fugui jumped off the carriage, smiling, and said politely, "I made an appointment with you a few days ago, and he asked me to wait here today."

"Hey, I guess we'll have to wait a while for the prince to come out." Aunt Wang thought of the close relationship between the two people inside, and felt a little sympathetic towards Wang Fugui, so she asked, "Has the marriage been decided in the mansion?"

"Well, it's settled!"

Aunt Wang touched the boy's head and sighed, "It's time for the young master to start learning. It's not good to stay here all the time."

If the young master could trace his roots, he wouldn't have to stay in such a filthy place.

No matter how good Xie Zhaozhao's temper was, he couldn't help but get angry when he saw these people.

In the previous life, this was probably the conversation as well.

"Is the marriage settled?" "Yes, it's settled!"

Then, his plans for her began to be implemented, right? !

He retracted his gaze and said to Yunhe, "Let's go, slowly."

The bewildered refugees on the street looked at her carriage with envy and jealousy.

In previous years, these people were like migratory birds, coming in winter and leaving in spring. This year, it is already March, and these refugees are still stranded in the capital.

Forced to make a living, refugees became lawless criminals as they wandered.

"Stop fighting! If you continue, someone will die!"

"Alas, they robbed me in the street in broad daylight."

"Where are the officials? Isn't this Kyoto? Why is no one in charge?"

A group of people were fighting on the roadside, and a large circle of people gathered to watch.

Some people watch the fun numbly to try to feel a little pitiful sense of superiority, while others weakly advise people not to lose their lives.

Xie Zhaozhao immediately asked Yunhe to stop the car.

He ordered, "Go see what's going on?"

Yun He jumped off the carriage, went to ask, and reported back: "Miss, a group of people robbed and beat two scholars from other places."

Through the shadowless gauze curtains, Xie Zhaozhao saw a group of burly and fierce men tearing and kicking two young men.

Of the two men, one was stepped on the ground, and the other was pressed against the wall by the clothes on his chest.

In the lowest level of Kyoto, the South City, the refugees are sheep, but also fierce beasts. When they encounter beasts fiercer than them, they become sheep-sheep, and when they encounter sheep weaker than them, they become wolves.

In the eyes of these fierce men, the two young men from other places who were powerless were just sheep that could be killed at will.

The man on the ground, his face and body covered in blood, tightly holding the small bundle in his arms, said in a hoarse voice: "Spring exam...books...no, they are not worth much..."

"Let go and give me the package!"

Those people not only tried to steal his bag, but also took away his clothes and shoes.

He was so happy that he shouted, "This boy looks good. Catch him and sell him to Qingfeng Pavilion."

"Yes, yes, that's a good idea. Don't beat him to death, drag him away."

Fights were commonplace, and because people were afraid of these street bullies, no one stepped forward to stop them.

The young man who was squeezed against the wall had disheveled hair, half of his face was stained red with blood, and his face was swollen like a basket, looking very scary.

He shouted to the young man on the ground: "Ling Xun, give it to them, save your life..."

"Xiangsheng, you...go..."

Ling Xun? Xiangsheng? Zhang Xiangsheng?

Although Xie Zhaozhao never saw any other men in her boudoir, noble ladies in the capital were not only good at learning women's virtues and appearance, but also had knowledge of astronomy, geography, current affairs, and family secrets.

She may not know about others, but she knows Ling Xun.

He was the new top scholar in the 20th year of Emperor Hui's reign.

It is said that when he came to the capital to take part in the spring examination, he was robbed on the street by a group of street bullies, beaten to death, and then sold to Qingfeng Pavilion.

There was a woman named "Tu Qianyue" who brought her men to beat the street bullies away and left the injured Ling Xun at home to recuperate.

Later, Ling Xun won the top spot in the imperial examination. He was talented and a good minister. Emperor Hui trained Ling Xun almost as the second Gu Shaoyu. He was promoted all the way in the court and hardly encountered any setbacks.

Ling Xun was grateful and repaid the favor, and later became the Minister of the Court, and died for Tu Qianyue.

However, two years before Emperor Hui's death, for some unknown reason, Ling Xun, a powerful official at the height of his power, suddenly hanged himself at home.

Zhang Xiangsheng was Ling Xun's classmate. He was also beaten badly this time and was also saved by Tu Qianyue. He became the first in the second class of the spring examination and was sent to Jiangnan. In ten years, he was promoted to a fourth-rank official.

In Jiangnan, Zhang Xiangsheng provides all-round official support for Tu Qianyue's business empire.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled slightly. Others might not know who Tu Qianyue was, but she knew her very well.

She came here today just for Ling Xun and the other person.

Without hesitation, Xie Zhaozhao said to Yunhe, "Save these two young people."

Yuanyuan lifted a corner of the car curtain, got out of the car, and said to several guards: "Catch those lunatics."

Yun He and the other four guards rushed over with their swords brandished, shouting, "Stop."

The street bullies turned around and saw Xie Zhaozhao's luxurious carriage, his majestic guards riding tall horses and waving sharp swords in their hands, and they were so scared that they ran away.

They didn't know who was sitting in the carriage, but in such a luxurious carriage, the person sitting must be an important official.

They are afraid of officials and also afraid of death!

The street fighter tried desperately to escape, but Yunhe and his men still caught the two big men who were leading the group and kicked them hard. The two men lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.

Yunhe called the street messengers of South City to arrest the two men and put them in jail. After they had a good beating, they were asked to confess their accomplices and punish them severely.

Because the young lady was frightened.

This crime is more serious than beating up two students.

Yuanyuan got out of the car and went to the nearby clinic to call for help, and carried Ling Xun and Zhang Xiangsheng into the clinic.

"We are the Xie family. Just use the good medicine and don't worry about the money." Yuanyuan took out a silver ingot from her purse.

The doctor in the pharmacy smiled very flatteringly, nodded and said, "Please rest assured, young lady, we will do our best."

Xie Zhaozhao left behind another guard, and when the two men's conditions stabilized, he took them back to Xie's house and handed them over to the palace doctor.

She came to South City today just to rescue the two people. Now that her goal was achieved, she returned home.

The luxurious carriage left South City, and people were still praising the situation. They thought the two outsiders were really lucky to be rescued by the people from the Xie family.

The scene on the street was still being excitedly discussed by the bored refugees. The black wooden door of the house in Tianhou Lane opened, and the woman leaned out to look around, pouting her lips with a look of resentment.

A young man walked out the door behind her.

The man pushed her in and whispered, "Shhh," "Be good, I'll be back soon."

"Then you can't really like her."

"Don't worry, you're the only one in my heart."
