Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Prince Lie of Chen State is the thirteenth son of the current ruler. He is idle and likes to have fun on weekdays.

Today he borrowed a warhorse from the army, intending to ride it for fun. However, when he reached a busy city, the horse suddenly went mad and not only threw him off its back, but also injured a number of people.

As a prince of the State of Chen, he would not take it seriously even if a few people were trampled to death by war horses, let alone a few injuries. At most, he would be scolded by his father.

But right here on the street, the mad warhorse was killed, and its death was so miserable that if we took it back to make dumplings, we wouldn't have to chop the stuffing.

That madman not only killed the horse, but also kicked away the guard who came forward to argue with him. He is so bold!

If you can't find someone to take the blame, you'll have to carry it yourself. Every war horse is precious to the princes. In addition to using them in combat, raising and nurturing them are also expenses.

Chen Muzhe, who learned about this, was so angry that he beat his son severely with a whip and cut some of his salary, which made Chen Lie even more jealous of the madman who killed the horse.

After being carried back to his residence, Chen Lie immediately ordered people to look for the madman. He would not be able to get rid of the hatred in his heart unless he skinned the madman alive!

However, when the investigators came back, they brought back a piece of news that made Chen Lie furious.

"Can't find it?"

Chen Lie lay on the couch and shouted angrily at the people working below, "Didn't the guards say that the madman was very tall? How could they not find such a striking person?"

Facing the moody Chen Lie, the official said tremblingly: "Sir, we really can't find that person. We sent people to the inn in the city to inquire. Someone did see him, but he didn't live there!"

"And this man is unfamiliar. He should not be from our Chen country. He dared to commit violence and hurt horses in the street, and also attacked the guards. He might be one of those wandering knights who has no fixed place to live and stirs up trouble."

"This makes it even harder to find him, and no one knows his name. We only know that he is tall and has a beautiful maid by his side."

"Little maid? A ranger goes out with a little maid?" Chen Lie gnashed with hatred. Do these lowly people think he is a fool?

"I don't know. The person who went to investigate said so." The person in charge hurriedly passed the blame on to others.

"Since we can't find that madman, what about the people he saved?" Chen Lie asked in a cold tone. If that untouchable hadn't fallen, the warhorse wouldn't have died!

Although the horse was killed by that madman, the original reason was to save someone, that is, the untouchable who fell down!

The person in charge immediately replied, "Sir, we have checked it out. It is a distant sister of yours named Chen Xi, who is 23 years old this year. She is currently studying etiquette and the six arts with the queen in the palace."

"Huh? You're not even a pariah!"

Chen Lie frowned, but soon remembered something and asked with an unpredictable look in his eyes, "What's his family background? Is it easy to handle?"

The person in charge: "My parents and grandmother have passed away, and I have lost contact with my mother's family. Now I run a breakfast shop with my grandfather."

"Breakfast shop? The one that's particularly famous and has people lining up every day?" Chen Lie suddenly sat up from the couch, a chilling smile on his lips.

"So she's my distant sister. After what happened today, I think she must be scared. As her younger brother, I should go and take care of her. What do you think?"

The person in charge was afraid to respond. This young man had a perverse temper and would beat and kill his servants at will. No one knew what he could do.

I couldn't help but feel sympathy for Chen Xi. He had just escaped from the horse's hoof, but was about to fall into Chen Lie's hands.

So Chen Lie mobilized the people in the mansion, and while it was dark, he lay on a plank bed and asked people to carry him, and rushed to Chen Xi's house.

Dozens of people walked openly and majestically on the street. Even when they met patrolling city guards, they did not show any fear.

Lying on the plank bed, Chen Lie thought evilly, wondering if his sister was really that loving. Then a laugh like an owl sounded in the night sky.

When a group of people arrived at the breakfast shop, Chen Lie immediately ordered someone to knock on the door. The lackey followed his orders, trotted to the door, knocked hard a few times, and shouted, "Open the door!"

In the quiet night, the sounds of door banging and knocking could be heard far away. The neighbors near the breakfast shop could hear it clearly, but no one dared to come out to see.

In the capital, those who dare to be so arrogant at night are definitely not people that common people like them can afford to offend. They can only pray for the grandfather and grandson in their hearts, hoping that nothing will happen to them.

But how is this possible? On a night like this, the increasingly loud knocks on the door are telling everyone one thing: these people are here with bad intentions!

The lackey barked at the door for a long time, but there was no movement from inside. Thinking of Chen Lie's temper, he became angry and wanted to ask someone to break the door down.

Just at this moment, there was a sound of a bolt being pulled, and then the door of the shop was opened from the inside.

Gou Tui secretly wiped his sweat. The door was finally opened. He opened his mouth to scold the person who opened the door. However, before he could see the person clearly, he felt a strong wind blowing towards him, and he knew nothing the next moment.

Inside the store, Grandpa Chen, who heard the noise, also came out of the house. He took a stone axe for chopping wood from the backyard and stood tremblingly with his granddaughter. He was an honest and decent man, and it was not easy for him to muster the courage to resist.

Yao Jun kicked away the person who was blocking the door, turned around and gave the grandfather and grandson a reassuring look, and said, "Close the door."

After Yao Jun walked out of the shop, Chen Xi bravely ran to the door and obediently closed it, but did not bolt it. Instead, he left a gap so that he could observe the situation outside.

The pitch-black night was lit up by dozens of torches as bright as day. A man lying on the bed looked like a hungry wolf in the dark night under the flickering firelight.

As soon as Yao Jun appeared, he was targeted by Chen Lie.

He was tall and straight, with long hair hanging behind his head, a black jade crown, a long sword at his waist, and especially the veil on his face, which reminded Chen Lie of the madman who killed a horse in the street.

Thinking about the fact that this madman had just walked out of a small shop, and it was still night time, even though there was still an old man in the shop, he could be completely ignored.

What would happen when a man and a woman are alone in a room on a lonely night? Chen Lie thought about it from his own perspective and many colorful fragments appeared in his mind.

Before coming here, Chen Lie had already regarded Chen Xi as his exclusive lover. Now he has not only failed to avenge his old grudge, but also added new hatred.

Chen Lie gnashed his teeth and shouted, "What an adulterous couple! Today, I will represent the royal family and clean up the mess!"

"Someone! Chop this adulterer into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"

Inside the store, when Chen Xi saw the scene outside, his heart sank instantly, and he felt sad and bitter.

She wanted to tell Yao Jun to run away and not to worry about her, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't speak. She didn't know when tears blurred her eyes.

This damn era!

Powerful people can really do whatever they want! And they do it blatantly, even ignoring all the rules!

"hehe."

A hoarse chuckle suddenly came from outside. Chen Xi recognized the unique voice as Yao Jun laughing.

The laughter was full of contempt, as if the dozens of people in front of him were all worthless, and it also had a condescending attitude of looking down on others.

It was such a critical moment, but when Chen Xi heard the laughter, his heart suddenly calmed down and his mind became clear again.

The next moment, a strong wind blew through the street, and many dark shadows appeared on the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street.

Rubbing the hilt of the sword with his big hand, Yao Jun had no intention of attacking at all. He looked calmly at Chen Lie, opened his mouth and uttered two words.

"killed."

After saying that, Yao Jun turned around and walked towards the shop with ease. He had no interest in what was happening behind him.

After entering the store and bolting the door, Yao Jun ignored the frightened grandfather and grandson, walked to the table and sat down, saying, "Water."

Then he took out a bamboo slip, wrote a sentence, placed it on the main table, closed his eyes and rested.
