Early the next morning.

The three little ones woke up early, prepared the carriage, took the eunuchs in flowery clothes, and went straight to the West Market.

Xiaocui and her grandfather are also going to set up a stall in the West Market today, and they have to confirm whether the Money Gang has taken Princess Ankang's words seriously.

There is no court today, so there is no road control yesterday.

The carriage went straight from the nearest route to Nishishi.

The three little ones didn't expect that the West Market would be extremely lively since the morning, especially those shops that sold breakfast, and the business was even more booming.

"Hey, there used to be a morning market in this capital."

After parking the carriage outside the West Market, they looked for yesterday's stall with their familiarity, and saw the two familiar figures in the distance.

Seeing that Xiaocui and her grandfather were safe and sound, the three hanging hearts finally fell.

Xiao Cui saw Princess Ankang from a distance and happily waved hello.

"Miss, morning."

Princess Ankang also smiled and nodded to her grandfather and grandson.

Seeing that they were safe and sound, she knew that her efforts yesterday had not been in vain.

The Money Gang heeded her warning.

Xiao Cui held something in her hand, then jumped out from behind the stall, and then handed the thing in her hand to Princess Ankang.

"Miss, the knot you ordered yesterday has been made."

Princess Ankang couldn't help but be overjoyed when she looked at the three lively little black cat knots in Xiao Cui's hands.

She didn't expect Xiao Cui to be able to braiding the knot so well.

It's much more elaborate than all the knots in their stall.

What Princess Ankang didn't know was that these three knots were made from their best materials last night when Xiao Cui stayed up all night.

Xiao Cui didn't rest for a moment last night, just to be able to make these three knots perfect.

For Princess Ankang's life-saving grace, their grandfather and grandson could not repay it.

Therefore, Xiaocui can only repay Princess Ankang with the knotting she is good at.

Princess Ankang took the three knots, then picked up one of them and put it in front of her eyes to study it carefully.

Li Xuan also looked over curiously and found that he was really a little similar to himself.

This is a knot on the cat's head woven with black string, with two small pieces of gold as an embellishment, turning into eyes.

In addition, there are long colored ropes attached to it, which can be tied around the wrist or around the neck.

Later, Xiaocui also showed the three little ones, and the colored rope could also be disassembled, and only the part of the cat's head was played.

The cat's mouth was slightly raised, and in a shy shallow smile, there was a bit of a cheap look.

Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it.

"How can Lao Tzu be so obscene, Xiaocui's craftsmanship is not good!"

As a result, Princess Ankang and Yu'er actually smiled, each holding a cat knot, smiling forward and backward, wiping tears, and praising Xiaocui's exquisite craftsmanship.

"Xiao Cui, you're making it up too well!"

"Especially this demeanor, it's just vivid."

Princess Ankang smiled so much that she didn't have the demeanor of a princess at all.

Yu'er on the side also added:

"Every time our family Ah Xuan wants to do something bad, it's this smile."

"Xiaocui, how do you know?"

Xiaocui was so praised by Princess Ankang and Yu'er that she couldn't help but blush, and after smiling shyly, she replied:

"That's what I said yesterday when I looked at the cat in Miss's arms and looked at those people from the Money Gang."

"When I was trying to braid the knot last night, I always thought of this smile, so I just braided it."

When Li Xuan heard this, his eyes widened, and he kept shouting:

"Meow, meow! (Slander, she slandered me!) ）”

"Meow! (This is Chiguoguo's slander!) ）”

Seeing Li Xuan's reaction like this, the three little girls couldn't help but laugh louder.

Grandpa Xiaocui, who walked over silently, couldn't help but show a silent smile when he looked at this scene.

After frolicking for a while, the three little ones put away their knots.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er wore them directly on their wrists, and Li Xuan secretly put them into the Dihong bone ring.

It's easy to lose it when he wears it, so I still remember it and take it out and look at it occasionally.

Then, Princess Ankang asked about the matter:

"Xiao Cui, the people of the Money Gang didn't come to trouble you, did they?"

Xiao Cui shook her head, and then replied:

"Speaking of which, I just want to tell Miss about it."

"Today, I can't even see a single money gang in the West Market, they seem to have disappeared."

"In the past, throwing a random stone into this West Market could hit several people who had something to do with the Money Gang."

Hearing this, the three little ones all felt strange.

"The Money Gang is hiding?"

The same thought popped into their heads.

"Is it too early?"

Princess Ankang thought for a moment and continued to ask.

Xiao Cui categorically denied it.

"Miss, you don't know."

"Those people live in this West City, after all, this is the place where they have the most oil and water."

"You see, on this street, all the people who are here to make a living have to pay a tribute to the money, even the dancing orchids and the performers."

"Otherwise, the money gang has a way to make it impossible for them to live."

Hearing this, the three little ones nodded in unison.

In this way, it is indeed strange that Xiao Cui and the others have not seen anyone from the Money Gang today.

It's not that such a big gang is so scared by Princess Ankang that they don't dare to show their heads again.

"Is there a conspiracy? Or do you want to stay out of the edge for a while? ”

Li Xuan looked thoughtful.

He didn't believe that the Money Gang had the ability to deal with Princess Ankang.

If the Money Gang is really good, and it has something to do with the official face, it should be almost time to guess the identity of Princess Ankang by now.

Royal princess, the underground gang who dares to mess around.

Even if the Money Gang is extremely powerful, it is impossible for it to dare to confront the government.

If you think about it this way, it is most likely to avoid the edge for a while.

Perhaps, the Money Gang already knows that Duke Ankang is about to return to the palace.

At this time, Xiao Cui continued:

"By the way, miss."

"Because of yesterday's incident, people on the street are also talking about it."

"Yesterday's incident is estimated to have spread all over the capital now."

"The money gang probably hasn't shown up in the past few days."

As soon as Xiao Cui said this, Princess Ankang also began to notice that the eyes of many people on the road kept throwing on her.

Although those eyes were vague, the curiosity of these people was too heavy.

Previously, Princess Ankang was worried about the safety of Xiaocui and her grandfather, so she went straight here, so she didn't notice it yet.

Now that she has gradually relaxed, she found that the people on the road are very concerned about her.

After all, it is really strange that someone can make money help suffer such a big loss.

Don't look at the arrival of Tang Kill yesterday, these melon-eating people are all scattered, but in fact, they are secretly watching what is happening on the street.

Especially the scene where Xu Lang defeated the money gang with one trick of double dragons and pearls, which is even more impressive.

After that, Princess Ankang slowly came to the seriously injured and dying Tang Shu, and her disdainful and cold expression was even more witnessed by them.

"Miss, you don't know."

Xiao Cui covered her mouth and smiled, and then continued:

"Now you have a lot of identity."

"Some say that you are a young lady in the family of a great official, and some say that you are a disciple of the hidden sect of the rivers and lakes, and some say that you are the supreme master of the eternal divine skill of youth......"

"Anyway, there are different opinions, and the identity is more evil than the other."

"If it weren't for the Money Gang, I'm afraid that the storytellers in the teahouse would have to talk about it today."

When Princess Ankang heard this, she couldn't help but feel a big headache.

Li Xuan smiled gloatingly.

Walking the rivers and lakes, the identity is given by oneself.

Now it's okay, Princess Ankang hasn't really set foot in the rivers and lakes, and she already has so many vests.

When you go out in the future, you don't have to worry about the vest being insufficient.

"Ah Xuan, what are you laughing at!"

Princess Ankang knocked Li Xuan's head angrily, and the result was a loud bang, and the sound was so crisp that it was close to that of a cow.

Princess Ankang knew that Li Xuan's head was harder than a stone, and seeing that he was still gloating, she had to scratch his little brain helplessly.

Li Xuan enjoyed Princess Ankang's touch and looked around.

On the lively street, people cast their eyes on Princess Ankang intentionally or unintentionally, but more curiously.

There are also many complex feelings mixed in it, gratitude, envy, worry, and awe......

And so on and so forth.

But at least it seems that everyone has no ill will towards Princess Ankang.

There doesn't seem to be any spies mixed with the Money Gang.

At least, Li Xuan hasn't found out yet.

"That's right, Tsui."

"Have the officials of Chang'an County ever looked for you?"

Princess Ankang asked.

In this regard, Xiao Cui shook her head blankly.

Princess Ankang lowered her head, revealing a contemplative expression.

Princess Ankang said yesterday that she was going to Chang'an County today to see how the county order would punish Master Xiong for robbing people's daughters on the street.

But now, Xiao Cui, who is the bitter master, has not been summoned, and it seems that she has not taken her words to heart.

Seeing Princess Ankang bow her head and ponder, Yu'er behind her said:

"Miss, could it be that you are waiting for the limelight to pass and quietly close the case."

"As the saying goes, if the people don't raise it, the officials won't be held accountable."

"If Xiaocui doesn't report the case, Chang'an County can be justified as if it has nothing to do."

Yu'er was born at the bottom, and although she was sold into the palace very early, she had seen a lot of such things when she was a child.

These wicked people have eaten the rules thoroughly.

For example, "if the people don't raise it, the officials won't hold it accountable", people make full use of the point of "the people don't lift it" and bury many things in silent darkness.

For them, solving the problem is the person who raises the problem, and the root of the problem is the solution to the problem.

Princess Ankang was reminded by Yu'er like this, and she also figured out the key.

But then he showed a look of embarrassment.

But at this time, Xiao Cui took the initiative to say:

"Miss, if you want me to go to the yamen, I'll go."

"You saved my life and my grandfather's life, and this is my business."

"Who will go if I don't go?"

Seeing what Princess Ankang was going to say again, Xiao Cui shook her head and continued:

"I was already married to the Money Gang, if it weren't for your face, Miss, they wouldn't have let us go."

"Anyway, it's like this, and it's not too much of such a thing as Master Xiong."

Xiaocui is so free and easy, but Princess Ankang doesn't know what to say.

At this time, Xiaocui's grandfather also said on the side:

"Xiaocui, you can follow Miss on a trip."

"Grandpa is here waiting for you to come back."

Xiao Cui's grandfather waved his hand and let Xiao Cui go with confidence.

The grandfather and grandson's attitude was so open-minded that Princess Ankang felt a little that they were breaking the jar.

But looking at Xiao Cui's bright eyes, the three little ones all realized that this was not a desperate abandonment.

Maybe only Xiaocui herself knows.

When yesterday, Xiong Ye, Tang Kill, and the Money Gang, these existences that can only be looked up to on weekdays were easily defeated by Princess Ankang, and the shackles that once imprisoned Xiaocui were also shattered.

Xiao Cui suddenly realized that the Money Gang was nothing more than that.

They will also speak well, they will be polite, and they will follow the law of Daxing......

It will hurt, it will be afraid, it will be compromised, and it will swallow its anger......

Will die too!

When Xiaocui saw the invincible Xiong Ye fall to the ground with his head broken and bleeding, his life was trampled off.

Seeing that the hall master Tang Kill endured the humiliation, but in the end he had to come out to take the palm, and he was beaten like a dead dog.

Seeing the money gang with heavy casualties all over the ground, mourning was everywhere.

The world in Cui's eyes began to change.

She believes that it is not only herself who has made such changes.

The mountain, which was originally pressed on top of their heads and could not afford to resist the slightest, had begun to shake silently.

Xiaocui knew that since she and her grandfather returned to the West Market to set up a stall, there were countless people watching them.

These people are curious about the final outcome of the grandfather and grandson.

In that case, let's make this ending a little more exciting.

Cui's idea is as simple as that.

Princess Ankang, who originally wanted to persuade Xiaocui to think clearly, saw Xiaocui's determined expression, so she silently closed her mouth.

Princess Ankang smiled slightly, and then said:

"Xiaocui, when you're ready, come with us to the county office."

Xiao Cui nodded and said without hesitation:

"I'm ready."

……

The carriage slowly drove towards the Chang'an County Ya.

Xiaocui told the three little ones on the road about the oppression that the money gang had squeezed them in the past few years.

The Money Gang is not stupid and understands the truth of trickling water.

They all have clear rules about how much money the performers charge, how much the vendors charge, and how much the shops charge.

That's the bottom line that the Money Gang has spent years figuring out.

It won't make your business unsustainable, and it won't make you fight with them.

Boil the frog in warm water and cut the meat with a blunt knife.

It's not a clever trick.

But the money gang is skillful.

The low-level people who are proficient in this capital have long been accustomed to the rules of the money gang.

Even in the Boryeong Fang where Xiaocui and her grandfather live together, the rules of the Money Gang are everywhere.

Carriage and horse shops, inns, gambling houses, secret prostitution......

All the businesses that can be contaminated, the money gang will be contaminated.

For so many years, the rules of the Money Gang have been maintained in the capital.

But there are always times when the rules are twisted.

In particular, those who enforce these rules are the most fickle creatures in the world.

Taking Master Xiong as an example, he relied on his brother-in-law who was the head of the hall to find a small boss in the oily West Market.

But just filling his pockets with some money has gradually failed to satisfy Master Xiong's ambitions.

Xiong Ye began to target some women from good families.

He inflated the other party's booth fee through various blatant eyes, and then forced others to comply.

Those who know each other take the initiative to send people out, and when Master Xiong gets tired of playing, the matter will be over.

Of course, Master Xiong is not a master who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and he is not his own mother-in-law, and there are also those who play with death and cripples.

In the past, there were many people who were bloody and looked for revenge on Master Xiong, but the end was extremely miserable.

Later, slowly, no one dared to resist.

When Master Xiong made excuses to raise the booth fee of Xiaocui and her grandfather, the grandfather and grandson understood Master Xiong's plan.

But Xiaocui's grandfather wanted to use the money to ask Xiong Ye to raise his noble hand, but as a result, all the savings in the past few years were smashed in, and he failed to fill Xiong Ye.

Just think about it, Master Xiong has the fat difference in the West Market, and it is not difficult for him to get some money.

When the desire for money is satisfied, Xiong Ye's desire continues to expand, so he focuses on the women of good families in Xishi.

Xiaocui knows that things can't be good, but the grandfather and grandson can only braid knots, and they may not be able to eat when they go elsewhere.

Xiaocui's grandfather is old, and he may not be able to keep Xiaocui when he is outside.

After leaving the capital, without Master Xiong, there are always other tigers, leopards, and wolves......

Moreover, whether you can escape from the capital is another matter.

In the past, there were also people who ran away after being targeted by Xiong Ye, and it didn't take long for them to appear in the mass grave outside the city, and their deaths were extremely miserable.

Listening to Xiao Cui's description, Li Xuan's heart was extremely heavy.

And he was also keenly aware that Princess Ankang's mood had also become depressed.

Li Xuan quietly raised his head and looked at Princess Ankang.

I saw that Princess Ankang was expressionless, and she was no longer moving when she was stroking Li Xuan's hand.

Li Xuan could understand Princess Ankang's mood at this moment, and couldn't help but start thinking in his heart:

"Would Ankang be disappointed in such a world?"

But at this moment, Xu Lang outside the carriage suddenly lowered his voice through the curtain and reported:

"Miss, someone is following us, do you need to take someone down now?"

Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Princess Ankang's eyes.

Li Xuan had never seen Princess Ankang show such an expression.
