Xiahou Yinglan rode to the gate of the Luoyang Palace, she jumped off the horse, bolted the horse to a pillar next to the door, and then walked towards the door.

Chief Manager Qi saw Xiahou Yinglan at a glance, and hurriedly greeted: "Xiahou Sect Master is here, and the prince is in the study."

Xiahou Yinglan smiled and said: Thank you.

After that, he hurriedly walked into the door.

Seeing this, Chief Manager Qi turned his head in surprise and looked at Xiahou Yinglan who walked in and muttered: What is so urgent?

Shook his head and left.

The king of Luoyang sat at the back of the bookcase, looking at a pile of letters.

Xiahou Yinglan's shout came from outside the door: Lord Wang, are you inside?

The king of Luoyang raised his head and said: I'm here, Yinglan, you come in.

Xiahou Yinglan pushed open the door and walked in, and said to the king of Luoyang: See the prince!

King Luoyang waved his hand, pointed to a chair beside him and said, "Yinglan, sit down and talk."

Xiahou Yinglan said: Thank you for the seat.

Come over and sit down.

The king of Luoyang asked, "Yinglan, how did last night's events go?"

Xiahou Yinglan said: I missed.

After a pause, he continued: Just when he was about to get it, the hateful old man suddenly appeared and saved Bao Heizi and them.

Hearing this, the king of Luoyang frowned and said: This old man is quite troublesome, he is indispensable everywhere, you have to think of getting rid of him, otherwise it will ruin the king's big things.

Xiahou Yinglan said: Yes, this evil leader has to be eliminated, and several things of this sect leader have been destroyed by him, and he is indeed a great threat to us.

The king of Luoyang asked: Has that bag of sunspots entered Luoyang City?

Xiahou Yinglan Dao: According to the eyeliner, he has entered the city with a man and three women, and is now living in the Laifu Inn.

Hearing this, the king of Luoyang was stunned and said: "If you live in the Rift Inn, why don't you go to the government to take over?"

Xiahou Yinglan Dao: Maybe our discord plan has worked, he wants to secretly visit Luoyang City to find the fault of the magistrate.

The king of Luoyang smiled and said: "That's good, you can add some salt, sprinkle some chili noodles or something, and make it as lively as possible."

Hearing this, Xiahou Yinglan smiled and said: I think so too.

In the evening, Bao Zheng took Zhanzhao, Eighth Sister, Ninth Sister, and Du Qi's Sister-in-law out of the door of the inn and came to the street.

The street in front of the Rifle Inn is a main street in Luoyang City, which is very prosperous and lively, with many shops on both sides of the street, and people who set up stalls to do small business abound.

The eighth sister and the ninth sister are young and lively, and the two of them pulled Du Qi's sister-in-law to watch from stall to stall, and also ran into the shops on the street from time to time to shop.

Bao Zheng didn't look at the stalls and shops to look at people, he seemed to be very interested in all kinds of people in the past, and carefully observed them one by one.

Zhanzhao didn't look at anything, he only paid attention to the terrain and situation around him, he was very concerned about anything that suddenly appeared, he followed closely behind Bao Zheng, and wherever Bao Zheng went, he followed.

At this time, several girls wearing white clothes with long swords walked past Bao Zheng Zhanzhao, came to a stall selling jewelry, and then carefully selected it on the stall.

Zhan Zhao whispered to Bao Zheng: "My lord, have you seen those women with swords, will they be in the same group as the women who attacked us last night?"

Bao Zheng nodded, but didn't say anything, and then walked to the jewelry stall and watched it casually.

The stall owner hurriedly smiled and asked: This son, do you want to buy jewelry for your wife?

Bao Zheng smiled and said: Take a look.

The stall owner said enthusiastically: Childe, please look at it casually.

At this time, the eighth sister, the ninth sister, and Du Qi's sister-in-law walked out of a store "hee-hee-ha".

Bao Zheng waved to Du Qi's sister-in-law and shouted: Madam, come here to take a look.

The three girls hurriedly walked over, and when they saw that it was a jewelry stall, they looked at it with interest.

Bao Zheng took the opportunity to ask the stall owner: Shopkeeper, the white-clothed women with swords just now are so mighty, where are they?

The stall owner didn't care: They are the female catchers of Luoyang County.

Hearing this, Bao Zheng was stunned and said: There are still women in the catch?

The stall owner said: There may not be any other places, but there are many of them in Luoyang County, and they all know martial arts, which is very powerful.

Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao looked at each other in surprise.

At this time, the three daughters also picked a favorite hand ornament each, Du Qi's sister-in-law was just about to pay, but was pulled by Bao Zheng, he asked the stall owner: Shopkeeper, how much are these three pieces of jewelry?

The stall owner said: One piece of silver is two dollars, you sell three pieces, and I will count you as five dollars of silver.

Bao Zheng took out a small piece of silver and paid it to the stall owner, and then asked: Shopkeeper, how to go to the county office?

The stall owner pointed to the east with his hand: there is a fork in the road half a mile ahead, turn right and walk for a while.

Bao Zhengdao: Shopkeeper, thank you!

The stall owner waved his hand and said: Childe doesn't have to be polite.

The five men walked forward.

The five turned into a small street, and there were three fruit stalls on the side of the road in the middle of the street, and the stall owner was a middle-aged woman, a middle-aged man, and an old man.

Just as the three stall owners were shouting and selling fruits to passers-by, suddenly, four strong men dressed in yacha costumes came out of a small alley and came to the three fruit stalls.

A man with a head in the shape of a man shouted fiercely to the old man's stall owner: Old man, it's time to pay the protection money.

The old man hurriedly said: "Official, we have already paid taxes to the yamen.

The head of the head said fiercely: The tax is the tax, the protection fee is the protection fee, pay it quickly, and pay five taels of silver per month for each stall.

The old man said pitifully: "Official, we can't earn five taels of silver a month, so let's pay a little less."

The middle-aged stall owner said: Yes, sir, the fruit is small, and you can earn more than two taels of silver at most in a month.

The female stall owner said: "Official, there are old people in my family, and there are young people in my family, and six or seven people say that I buy some fruit every day to make a living.

The head said sharply: Don't be wordy, this is a task sent down from above, not a single money can be missing, pay it quickly, don't blame the master for being unkind to you if you don't pay.

The three stall owners said in unison: "Official, we really can't hand it over."

Hearing this, the head of the head "hehe" sneered and said gloomily: It can't be handed over.

After that, he waved his hand and shouted: Brothers, smash.

The four of them overturned three fruit stalls together, spilling the fruit on the ground, and then the four yacha rushed up and punched and kicked the three stall owners.

Seeing this, Bao Zheng was furious and shouted: Stop!

The four yacha stopped and looked at Bao Zheng.

The head said very horizontally: Hey, you don't meddle in your business, we are on official duty, and those who obstruct the execution of official duties will be arrested and imprisoned.

Bao Zheng asked coldly: Whose official duties are you performing?

The four yacha glanced at each other, and suddenly laughed "haha".

The head pointed to the clothes on his body with his hand and said: "You don't have long eyes, can't you see the clothes we are wearing, we are the tolerance of the county government."

Hearing this, Bao Zheng said angrily: Since it is a tolerance, you should understand the law, when did the court stipulate what protection fees the government collects from the people, and what is the difference between doing this and the ruffians.

Hearing this, the head was furious, and pointed at Bao Zheng with his hand and said: You dare to scold us for being ruffians and hooligans, and tell you that collecting protection fees is stipulated by our magistrates, and scolding us is scolding our magistrates, and scolding the magistrates is scolding the court.

After that, he waved his hand to the other three and shouted: Brothers, these people are going to rebel and arrest them.

As soon as the four men reached out and pulled out the knife at their waists, they rushed forward.

The eighth sister and the ninth sister were impatient to wait for a long time, and when they saw this, they didn't wait for Bao Zheng to order, they both went out vertically, met the four yachas, and kicked the four yacha to the ground as soon as they showed a little performance.

As soon as the four yacha stood up and jumped up from the ground, the head looked at Bao Zheng and the others with frightened eyes: You dare to beat the officials, you are impatient, you are waiting here and don't leave, we will go back and report to our county magistrate to clean you up.

After that, he turned around and ran away.

The three stall owners came over and saluted the five people and said in unison: Thank you for the rescue.

Bao Zheng asked the old man: Old man, are those four people from the county government just now?

The old man said: Yes, the leader's surname is Wu, he is in charge of collecting money, he is very fierce, he beats people at every turn, son, you go quickly, and they will be arrested by those women in the county government after a while, they are all strong in martial arts, you are not opponents, once they are caught, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die.

Bao Zheng asked: How can there be a female catcher in the county government? What did these women do before?

The old man said: Those female catchers were brought by Li Zhixian when he took office, there are fifty or sixty people, I heard that these women were members of a cult called Xianglian Society on the rivers and lakes before, specializing in collecting yang and supplementing yin, and the young man who was killed by them was far away.

Hearing this, Du Qi's sister-in-law said angrily: Shameless, I will never spare them.

Bao Zheng nodded, but was speechless.

Zhan Zhao said in a low voice: "My lord, it seems that the female killers who attacked us last night were these women.

The eighth and ninth sisters beside Zhanzhao said in unison: Yes, it must be them.

The old man waved his hand to the other two stall owners and said, "Let's not do it, let's clean up and go back, when those murderous female catchers are coming, we will be miserable."

With that, the three of them hurriedly cleaned up the fruits scattered on the ground.

The ninth sister shouted to the three of them arrogantly: You don't have to be afraid, continue to do it here, I see what they dare to do to you.

Hearing this, the old man hurriedly waved his hand and said: Girl, no, you can't deal with them, so let's hide quickly.

Hearing this, the eighth sister snorted coldly and said: Why do you want to hide, we are not afraid of them, you don't have to hide, they dare to make trouble, I want them to look good.

The old man hurriedly said: No, no, girl, we can't afford to mess with them, we have to hide.

What else did the eighth sister want to say, Bao Zheng stopped her from speaking with a gesture, and answered: Let them go, how can a few civilians fight past the government, we have other things to do, and we can't always accompany them.

After picking up the fruits, the three stall owners pushed their stall carts and hurried away.

After watching the three of them walk away, Bao Zheng led the four of them forward again.
