Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 56: The Cheating Gangster, a Visit from His Own
Many shop owners came over, pointing and watching the fun.

Liu Hong raised his eyebrows. Why does this voice sound like Guo Baokun?

"My Lord, I'll go take a look."

Yang Du saw Liu Hong's expression and understood what he meant. He finished his noodles in no time and walked into the crowd.

"What is Liu Hong doing in Kyoto with all these hooligans? Not only is he not doing his job, but he is also idle."

Guo Baokun picked up Bai Juan with disgust and wiped the stains off his body.

The disheveled thug lying on the ground grabbed the lotus leaf chicken tightly and held it under his body.

Two thugs picked up sticks and hit the thug hard on the back.

Everyone was terrified by what they saw. If they didn't pay attention, this gangster would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Originally, Liu Hong didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Guo Baokun was secretly criticizing him.

He sighed and rushed into the crowd with his guards.

"I really don't understand you guys. Do you want to rob for a meal? You can rob if you want, but you even stained my official uniform."

From the beginning to the end, what made Guo Baokun angry was not that the gangsters dared to steal his things, but that his clothes were dirty.

"grown ups……"

When Yang Du saw Liu Hong coming, he quickly made way for him.

This thug was quite tough. He didn't even beg for mercy and just tightly protected the lotus leaf chicken under him.

"Let these two guys stop it. There's no need to kill anyone for a lotus leaf chicken."

Liu Hong waved his hand, signaling his guards to take action.

The guard acted decisively, drew out his long sword and placed it on the necks of the two thugs.

The two thugs stopped their actions instantly and stared at Guo Baokun with pleading eyes.

Guo Baokun's already unhappy mood became even more unhappy.

"Liu Hong, I didn't offend you! This guy stole my things, so I taught him a lesson and then reported him to the authorities, what's wrong with that?"

The people around nodded when they heard what he said, and they also felt that it made sense.

Liu Hong pointed at the gangster lying on the ground, his back covered in blood.

"Are you blind? Your thugs are all sixth or seventh rank warriors. They can kill people if they are not careful."

Guo Baokun also thought this made sense and waved his hand to let the thugs withdraw.

But he felt a little unwilling. He did whatever Liu Hong said. Didn't this make him seem weak?

The thinking process of a good general in the world is different from that of ordinary people.

"You said he stole my things, let's settle it."

"I'm not stealing from the common people. I'm so hungry that I'm not only stealing, but also robbing."

Everyone chuckled quietly, thinking that this official was quite interesting.

Guo Baokun was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Although the words are rough, the logic is sound, but you are too rough.

Liu Hong threw one or two taels of silver to Guo Baokun.

"I'll compensate you for his lotus leaf chicken."

The lotus leaf chicken only costs a few dozen coins, and one or two taels of silver is basically a sky-high price for compensation.

The eyes of the people around him lit up, and they wished they were Guo Baokun.

Guo Baokun didn't take it. He waved his sleeves and threw it to the gangster.

"Leave it to him, or he will end up like a starving ghost."

After saying this, Guo Baokun felt that he had regained his dignity, and left in a proud and confident manner.

Liu Hong handed the gangster ten taels of silver.

"You have hands and feet, so find a job if you have the chance. There is no future in being a gangster."

After saying this, Liu Hong left with his guards.

"Did you give the noodle stand owner money?"

Liu Hong walked halfway and suddenly stopped speaking.

Yang Du spread out his hands with an innocent look on his face.

"Sir, since you are the last one to leave, shouldn't you pay?"

Seeing that Liu Hong wanted to swear, Yang Du quickly ran to the noodle stall owner to pay the bill.

Unexpectedly, the gangster stood up shakily, wiped his bloody face with one hand, and spoke loudly.

"Brother, my name is Ji Xin. I was one of the thugs who followed you, but when it came time to go to the battlefield, I got scared and ran away."

Liu Hong turned around and took a closer look at the gangster. He did feel familiar with him. He waved his hand to show that he didn't care about it.

"You saved my life today, and I will give it to you in return."

Ji Xin was still shouting loudly.

But Liu Hong and others were getting further and further away.

"Sir, do you think this guy looks a bit like you?"

Yang Du seemed to be interested in recruiting him.

Liu Hong could not deny it, but stopped Yang Du's action.

"Maybe! But everyone has their own aspirations. He said that just because he was excited for a while. He will sober up in a few days."

Yang Du looked behind him thoughtfully at the stubborn figure of the gangster.

I always feel that when Liu Hong encounters a life-and-death crisis in the future, this guy named Ji Xin can save Liu Hong's life.

"By the way, I asked you to investigate Qin Yu's mysterious death. Have you done it thoroughly?"

Yang Du smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Sir, the other party has done a perfect job, and the tail has been cleaned up. There is no way to start."

Liu Hong was a little depressed, so he just let it go.

It’s just that the feeling of being plotted against always makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

However, the peace negotiation delegations from Northern Qi and Dongyi City are about to arrive in Kyoto, and peace negotiations must be given priority.

At the very least, the Northern Qi Dynasty had to acknowledge in black and white the cession of Qianlong Bay.

Now that Yan Bingyun's identity has been exposed, even though the Northern Qi Jinyiwei has not taken action yet, it is only a matter of time.

Liu Hong was clear about this, and so were Emperor Qing and the eldest princess.

The eldest princess secretly betrayed Yan Bingyun, and Emperor Qing knew all about her little actions.

I just returned to the compound, and a smiling face appeared from somewhere.

"Master Liu! I am the Junior Official of the Honglu Temple. It is a rare honor to have the chance to meet you, Master."

The personal guards drew their swords one after another and almost chopped Xing Qiwu to death with one blow.

After all, the guards didn't even know where this guy came from, which was a serious dereliction of duty.

Fortunately, Qiwu saw the actions of his guards and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Liu Hong wouldn't draw his sword against me just because I'm the prince's confidant, right?
The second prince had clearly cut ties with Liu Hong.

Liu Hong glared at the group of guards. What was the point of drawing their swords now that the people had appeared?

"Master Xing, I have heard of you for a long time. Please take a seat inside."

Liu Hong stretched out his hand and invited the creature to enter the gate of the compound.

"Lord Liu is frugal in his actions. He is truly a role model for our generation. When I return home, I will also learn from him."

Fortunately, the flattery is endless.

Liu Hong was speechless upon hearing this. After all, he was a third-rank official of the same rank as himself, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple.

How can you be so shameless?

Fortunately, he saw that Liu Hong didn't buy it and felt a little unhappy.

"Your Excellency seems to dislike these official formalities, so I'll just be frank. I've been under a lot of pressure lately, and I'm getting angry."

It happened that Sang Wen brought tea to Xing Qi.

Liu Hong protectively took Sang Wen's hand, asked her to sit next to him, and looked at Xing Qiwu vigilantly.

No matter how angry you are, you shouldn't come to my house.

There is only one beautiful lady, Sang Wen, in my house...

Sang Wen's face turned red with embarrassment and she turned her head away, but she still couldn't stand such closeness.

Fortunately, he didn't understand who Liu Hong was guarding against, so he honestly told the truth about his pressure.

"Sir, look! Our Qing Kingdom won this battle, but the territory we captured is too much and too diverse."

"Many generals have fiefs because of their contributions to territorial expansion, but with the current national strength of Qing, we can only defend one state. The rest of the country will eventually be returned to Northern Qi."

After hearing this, Liu Hong understood what it meant.

It turns out that he wanted me to give up Qianlong Bay and come here to act as a lobbyist.

Liu Hong's face immediately darkened.

"Xing Qiwu, do you think I'm young and easy to bully?"
