Chapter 485 Working Overtime
Kyoto has been in a bloody mess in recent days!
All the noble families, big and small, closed their doors, and the young ladies and gentlemen were ordered by their elders to stay at home and behave themselves.
Occasionally, miserable and noisy noises were heard from the house next door, which frightened the delicate young lady living in the deep house so much that she huddled up in a ball.
The young man with a curious look on his face secretly opened the door of the mansion with his servant and looked outside...
What comes into view is the Golden Guards mobilized in full force.
The vibration of the neatly-arranged light armor was like thunder in the sky, shocking everyone.
They escorted the officials' families whose homes were confiscated, and checked everyone's identity like they were checking livestock, and remained indifferent even when the women, who were usually treated like noble ladies, cried and screamed.
Among the golden armor, there were several people wearing official robes.
Several of them often appeared in Kyoto, including officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. There was also one…
This person is slender, wearing a scarlet robe, with a black waistband with gold edges, and his black hair is tied up high, but he is not wearing an official hat...
"Who is she?"
The young man who was leaning against the door and watching asked.
Of course the servant couldn't give him an answer.
In the blink of an eye, when the young man looked over there again, he met Jiang An's playful eyes.
With her back to the chaotic situation, the little girl greeted him in a good mood~
"Eh!"
The young man slammed the door shut, feeling terrified.
Why is it this ancestor?
The servant who was accompanying the young master had sat on the ground at some point, with a dazed look on his face, as if he hadn't reacted.
He touched his neck...
Fortunately... fortunately, the head was not clamped off.
"Mr. Gongzi..."
"What do you see?"
His young master has always been arrogant and lawless in Kyoto. Who could have scared him like this?
Could it be that the eldest son has returned from the border?
"unlucky!"
"I ran into that little evil spirit!"
Jiang An and Wu Heting have raided countless houses in the past few days, some of which are even well-known and powerful families in Kyoto!
The family was a century-old family with a rich financial background, and it did add a lot to the national treasury.
After their houses were confiscated, those with serious crimes were sent directly to the guillotine...
Wave after wave, new ones came before the blood on the guillotine had even dried.
This is the first time in all these years that I have seen an executioner working overtime in Kyoto. I have never seen such a thing before!
After raiding several houses, the reputation of this little devil Jiang An spread in Kyoto.
Anyone who holds any official position in Kyoto would want to dig a tunnel and run away when they see her!
I was afraid that I would be the next one to be raided.
If the Second Young Master remembers correctly, the mansion next door to his house belongs to the Minister of War...
"Tsk..."
He stood up, dusted himself off, and said without raising his head, "It's not easy to be an official. How about I ask my mother to talk to His Majesty and ask if I don't want to be an official?"
He knew that he was not a smart person and was afraid that one day the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion would be ransacked.
Then I would really be a sinner!
"It would be better if you had the ability to bring me down!"
The voice of Lady Dingyuan Marquis came.
The second young master was about to run, but his mother grabbed him by the collar first.
"Hehe...Mother~"
"Why didn't mother take a nap today?"
"It's noisy outside, and I'm not deaf."
He grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes and smiled flatteringly, "Mom, do I really want to be this official? I don't know anything~"
What's the good of being an official? It's better to be a playboy and enjoy life all day long!
The wife of Marquis Dingyuan glared and grabbed her son's ear, "You are already seventeen years old, and it's just a position of Left Vice Minister, what's wrong with that!"
"Look at the county lady. She is only twelve or thirteen years old this year. Look at her courage!"
“Hey…”
The second young master followed his mother's footsteps and walked inside, muttering, "Who can compare to her? Her father is a killing god, and she is a little evil god!"
On the other side, Wu Heting noticed something strange about the little girl and looked back.
There was only the tightly closed gate of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
"What are you looking at?"
Jiang An stretched his tired muscles and said, "Nothing..."
She flipped through the booklet in her hand and said, "This is the last one."
Wu Heting responded and blinked his sore eyes.
I hope that apart from these parasites, Nanshang can be better...
"Are you still checking further?"
The surprises in these officials' homes were no smaller than those of the small Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Account books and evidences could take over half of the southern business community.
"Just press it first."
With her back to the setting sun, the little girl laughed wantonly, "Didn't Lord Wu say that there is no such thing as an innocent official in Kyoto... There's only who is more greedy and who is less greedy!"
True integrity and fairness only exist in ideals.
We have to allow for a few insignificant termites on the towering trees.
Everything has its limits…
Jiang An understood this principle.
"The account book is in your hands. You must pay extra attention to it these days."
The little girl nodded.
What she didn't say was that ever since she took on the job of confiscating property, there had always been people coming to her house.
During the day, ladies and young ladies came to the door with various gifts, and assassins climbed over the wall at night...
Jiang An's silence was too obvious. Lord Wu smelled something unusual in it and asked, "You are hiding something from me!"
Not a question, but an affirmation.
"what?"
The little girl blinked her big eyes, trying to get away with it by being cute.
"Say it!"
"Hehe~"
She patted Lord Wu on the shoulder and said, "Oh, you will know at the court tomorrow morning."
Wu Heting: …
Great, tonight is another sleepless night!
The house search was settled, and the little girl returned home at daybreak for the first time in many days.
"I'm back~"
Jiang An suddenly appeared in the front hall.
"An An!"
"younger sister!"
Qi Shanyuan noticed with his sharp eyes that there were one or two drops of blood that had not yet dried on the little girl’s crimson official robe.
He walked quickly forward, even passing Huo Changming who was rushing towards his sister.
"Are you hurt?"
Li Xingsang also frowned and asked worriedly, "Did you meet an assassin again?"
"Oh, it's okay~"
Jiang An grinned, "It's not my blood."
Seeing that she said it was okay, the three of them felt relieved.
Huo Changming: "Why don't I stay by your side from tomorrow onwards? It would be good to have more helpers."
Anyway, he has thick skin and flesh, so he can block one or two sword attacks and will not die for the time being.
"No!"
The little girl refused outright.
She knows exactly what her brother is thinking!
"Xingsang and Shanyuan can't stay in the mansion forever. If you protect them, I won't have to worry about anything."
Jiang An's eyes rolled around, looking at the gloomy faces of the three people...
"Don't think about it~"
She smiled and comforted him, "I am Jiang An, who can really do anything to me~"
These people just wanted to steal the evidence and account books she had accumulated, and then force her to return to the North.
Except for the stubborn Xie family, the rest...if they had the courage, who would dare to touch Jiang Jichen's daughter?
"and…"
Jiang An blinked his eyes and said playfully, "I'm not someone who will just swallow my anger~"
Li Xingsang's eyelids suddenly twitched, "What... did you do?"
"I have ordered all the assassins killed these days to be thrown into the Xie family."
Xie Jia, who has a new surprise every time he wakes up: I am really impressed...
I guess Prime Minister Xie is very angry again~
"And the main family behind the assassin..."
"They were all beaten."
It would be extremely difficult for those guys they hired to get close to Jiang An. If she wanted to take revenge...
Jiang Si can go to seven or eight houses in one night!
Li Xingsang held his forehead with his hand.
It's disorganized and satisfying, which is in line with the little ancestor's style of doing things.
Qi Shanyuan's eyes were full of smiles, "An An did a good job!"
Huo Changming: “That’s right!”
"Next time you have such a good thing, don't forget to call me~"
Li Xingsang: …just pamper her!!!
The next morning,
The Jinluan Palace, which should have been filled with officials, was deserted today...
When His Majesty entered the palace, he first squinted his eyes to look inside the palace, and then looked back at the road he came from with suspicion.
Did he really come to the Golden Palace?
What about his officials?
What about his noble families?
The emperor's surprise continued until he took his seat, and sporadic shouts of "Wan'an" were heard in the hall.
“Why are there so few people today?”
"His Majesty!"
The old censor stepped out.
Well, it's him again!
Your Majesty suddenly has a headache.
