Wu Chengsi's expression changed drastically, and he took two steps in three steps and ran to the place where the sound came from.
In front of a luxurious carriage, a woman was seen paralyzed on the ground. Next to her, a pile of cloths were scattered on the ground. It seemed that she was knocked down by the carriage while carrying these cloths while walking.
The woman hugged the thigh of a man in his forties and screamed.
Behind the man in black robe, two servants grabbed a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old and walked towards the carriage. The girl was tall and handsome, and looked very quiet compared to the sobbing woman.
The man in black robe kicked the woman away and said angrily: "You bitch, you are so ignorant. It's rare that my young master appreciates your daughter and is willing to take her out of the sea of misery. You should be happy. What are you talking about?"
"Master... the little woman has nothing now, she only has this daughter. Without her, how can you let the little woman live?" The woman got up and hugged the black-robed man's feet persistently.
Wu Chengsi became angry and was about to shout to stop, but someone spoke up before him, and there were more than one person.
"You bitch, you dare to rob a girl in the street. Is there any royal law?"
"Let go of that little girl, or I'll take you to see the official!"
"My uncle is a police officer in Jingzhao Mansion. If you look at him, I will call my uncle over right now!"
"How can the emperor allow you to act recklessly under the emperor's feet!"
"Thief, if you don't let go, I'll take the girl's sword!"
Wu Chengsi was startled when he saw that the people around him quickly surrounded the carriage, showing an angry attitude.
Even the father and daughter who were setting up the ring in the distance got off the ring and ran over. The last words were said by the woman in blue who was competing to find a bride.
Seeing everyone shouting to stop, the man in black robe was not afraid and said viciously: "My young master's surname is Helan. If you want to meddle in other people's business, be careful!"
Wu Chengsi frowned. The husband's family of Wu Zetian's sister Wu Shun was the Helan family. Helan Minzhi was Wu Zetian's nephew. His sister Helan Minrou was deeply loved by Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi. Therefore, the Helan family was in Chang'an City.
Quite powerful.
I thought that everyone would retreat after hearing Helan's name, but only a small number of people left, and most of them were not frightened.
One of the young men in white shouted loudly: "Even if his Anyuan County uncle is here, he can't be so lawless and rob civilian girls on the street!"
As soon as the man in white finished speaking, the two young men next to him hurriedly tugged on his sleeves, as if to persuade him not to be too strong. Unfortunately, the man in white didn't appreciate it and angrily said: "You are afraid of the powerful, but I am not.
!”
"Well said!" The woman in blue who got off the stage praised loudly.
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a pale young man stepped out of the carriage.
After he glanced around at the crowd, he said sternly: "I am the official of the Ministry of Punishment, He Lancao. You and other unscrupulous people dare to surround my carriage. Believe it or not, I will put you in jail!"
"You are a corrupt official, you are robbing women in the street. Believe it or not, I will go to Jingzhao Mansion to sue you!" The man in white said tit for tat.
"Yes, sue him!"
"If Jingzhao Mansion doesn't care, just go to Yushitai!"
"If you don't care about the imperial censor, go to Danfeng Gate to file a complaint!"
Like a relay, the crowd echoed one after another.
He Lancaozhi was young after all, so he was intimidated by the crowd's power and couldn't help but take a step back. Seeing him retreat, the crowd suddenly became more aggressive, and some grumpy ones even shouted "beat him to death".
He Lancaozhi gritted his teeth and said angrily: "These two are the guilty girls of Yeting Palace. If you are going to speak for them, do you think you have something to do with them?"
Hearing this, the onlookers were stunned.
In the Yeting Palace, there are all the female relatives of officials who have committed serious crimes. Fighting against them will not only implicate themselves, but may also be regarded as an accomplice in committing serious crimes. Then the whole family will suffer!
The crowd immediately dispersed, including the man in white and the woman in blue who was setting up the ring. The woman and her father climbed onto the ring again and continued to compete for a bride, as if nothing happened just now.
Since all the people around him were gone, Wu Chengsi, who was still standing there, became very conspicuous. He was looking at the young man and felt that he looked familiar.
The young man naturally noticed him, his expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Master Wu, why are you here? Do you have something to report to your subordinate?"
Wu Chengsi had important matters at hand at the moment, so he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and said straightforwardly: "How dare you do such a thing in broad daylight, why don't you get out of here!" The word "get out" was very refreshing.
Incomparable.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Master Wu, this girl was nominated by my cousin. Please don't embarrass me."
"I don't care who you are! If you don't get out, I will drag you to Jingzhao Mansion!" Wu Chengsi showed no mercy.
There was a trace of imperceptible anger on the young man's face, and after ordering his men to put the girl down, he bowed his hands and left.
The woman hurriedly held the girl in her arms, bowed to Wu Chengsi, and said, "Thank you so much for rescuing my little girl. I am very grateful. I don't know what my benefactor's name is?"
"It's a small gesture, no need to say thank you." Wu Chengsi waved his hand, turned to the girl who was wiping her mother's tears, and asked curiously: "Do you know what happened just now?"
"Of course I know." The girl glanced at him.
"Then why don't you cry?"
"What's the use of crying, it will only make mother more sad." The girl whispered.
When the woman heard this, she felt sad. After thanking her again, she picked up the cloth on the ground and pulled the girl to leave.
But the young girl grabbed the woman and said softly: "Mother, they won't let their daughter go. Why don't we ask for mercy from this Uncle Wu, maybe he can save us." After saying that, she secretly glanced at Wu Chengsi.
"We're just ramming their carriage, so we won't be fighting each other, right?" the woman said blankly.
"They bumped into us on purpose. Didn't you notice that the prince and others are missing?" the girl said calmly.
The woman was surprised: "You mean the prince and they are also in the same group?"
"Yes, otherwise, why would it suddenly be the mother's turn to be on a mission out of the palace, and why would she have to name her daughter and take her with her?" the girl said softly.
"But they haven't seen you before, why do they want to arrest you?" The woman still didn't believe it.
"Mom, actually...Actually, a famous official came to Yeting Palace to find me a few days ago and said that as long as I followed him, he would help me get rid of my crime!" The girl lowered her head and said.
"There are other things like this, you... why didn't you tell me, oh... why didn't you agree to him?" The woman's expression changed several times.
"Mother, how can I leave you alone? And he lied to me, I can see it." The girl said quietly.
Seeing the mother and daughter chatting in front of him, Wu Chengsi didn't want to leave or stay, so he scratched his head and said: "I said... do you want my help? I'm very busy!"
The girl hurriedly walked over to Wu Chengsi, bowed her hands and said, "Please save me, Uncle Wu!"
Wu Chengsi took a close look at her and felt that her aura was compelling, especially her eyes, which were like black pearls. She couldn't help but ask: "How do you want me to save you?"
"If possible, please ask Uncle Wu to help me go to the official and ask him to let my daughter go," the girl whispered.
"Is the official you are talking about He Lan Minzhi?" Wu Chengsi asked, touching his chin.
"it's him."
"But even if I go to find him, I'm afraid it won't be of any use." In Wu Chengsi's memory, the relationship between him and He Lanmin was not very good.
The girl lowered her head, her eye circles finally turning red.
"Forget it, let me tell you for you, there is no guarantee whether it will succeed or not!" Wu Chengsi said hurriedly.
"Thank you, Uncle Wu!" the girl said happily.
"It's okay." Wu Chengsi waved his hand and turned to leave. Suddenly, he turned around and asked, "By the way, I still don't know what your name is?"
The girl smiled slightly and said: "My little girl Shangguan Wan'er."
