Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice

The maid Yunxiao was so angry that she put down her chopsticks and stood up to argue with others, but was stopped by Tao Yuwei who was eating noodles.

"Why bother with them? No matter how much a crow hops, it can never turn into a peacock."

Yu Meiyao, who was sitting next to her, also put down her chopsticks and looked at her worriedly.

Tao Yuwei signaled her to eat the noodles quickly, and then she immersed herself in eating the noodles.

Seeing that she was not angry, Yu Meiyao lowered her head and began to eat noodles in small bites.

As expected of Princess Anle, she remained so calm in the face of the other party's provocation. She couldn't compare to the cultivation of everyone else.

If this happened to her, she would not be able to eat and immediately stood up to defend herself.

If Tao Yuwei knew that she thought so highly of her, she would definitely laugh out loud.

She was hungry at the moment, so of course it would not be too late to deal with the person after she had eaten her fill.

The crow, who had been resting with his eyes closed on her shoulder, got angry.

It also wanted to eat beef, but the little girl refused to give it any and even compared it to a peacock. Who was she looking down on?

Since it can't do anything about the employer who feeds it, it can take it out on these humans who make noises and disturb its rest.

After two caws' caws, flocks of black crows quickly flew into the store.

As if they smelled the stench of rotten meat, they surrounded the group of nosy people who had come with ill intentions to question Tao Yuwei.

The flock of crows was like a surging wave, flapping their wings and pecking at the people fiercely with their sharp beaks.

There were many other crows circling in the sky outside. They took turns flying into the restaurant and attacking those who spoke ill of Tao Yuwei.

The group of people who were smiling and questioning Tao Yuwei maliciously just now were now being chased and attacked by a large group of crows. Their clothes were torn by the crows' sharp beaks and claws.

Some people were covered by the black mass of crows and fell to the ground, holding their heads with nowhere to hide.

There were bite wounds all over his body, and blood was seeping out from many places.

Some people hid under the table, but still couldn't escape the attack.

But nothing happened to the other people who were dining here.

They stopped eating and looked at the people being besieged by crows, talking a lot.

"This is the first time in my life that I've seen a crow attack someone so viciously."

"Don't you find it strange? We are eating here just like them, why do these crows only attack them but nothing happens to us?"

"Ah, it turns out these people have done something extremely immoral!"

All over the capital outside.

Thousands of people stared at the place where a large number of crows were circling, and stopped in their tracks.

"What happened today? When did so many crows gather in the capital?"

"What happened? The appearance of so many crows is too unlucky. Could something terrible have happened?"

"That direction seems to be around the Dali Temple. Let's go and take a look. Maybe there's a big case going on and someone's dead."

Many people who wanted to watch the fun quickened their pace and headed towards a large black cloud covering the sky and blocked by crows.

In the restaurant, a large number of crows were seen flying into the store.

The owner and the waiter in the store were not angry, but were very happy.

Normally people dislike crows for being unlucky, but the appearance of these crows brought considerable business to his store.

Now a lot of people come into his shop and ask to dine here.

The tables in the restaurant are already full, so there is no room left.

But when they saw that there were no seats available, they were not angry. Instead, they stood politely and honestly in line outside the door, waiting for those who had finished their meal to come out.

These crows are very intelligent.

They only attacked the group of people who spoke not very nicely, while the others were safe and sound while eating and watching the fun.

Within the palace.

Emperor Jianchang had just finished a small court meeting with a group of important ministers.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened outside."

When the eunuch chief Zhao Chong received the news, he took quick, flying steps and hurriedly reported to him.

Emperor Jianchang was very curious about what had happened to make Zhao Chong, who was always calm and stable, so panicked.

"Don't be impatient, speak slowly!"

Zhao Chong knelt down in panic and said, "There is a large number of crows covering the sky outside. It seems that something terrible has happened."

After hearing this, Emperor Jianchang stood up from the dragon throne.

His face seemed calm, but the expression in his deep dragon eyes was unclear.

"Is there such a strange thing? I'll go out and take a look."

Emperor Jianchang walked out of the imperial study with one hand behind his back and a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads in the other.

Several important officials of the court looked at each other, followed him out.

Standing on the jade platform in the imperial palace, Emperor Jianchang saw with his own eyes a large number of crows circling in the sky above the city.

He immediately summoned the Imperial Observatory for questioning.

"Your Majesty, perhaps someone is feeding them food, which is why these crows appear in such large numbers."

The Imperial Observatory knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

How could he, a person who observes the night sky and monitors the wind and rain, understand these crows?

Emperor Jianchang was not angry after hearing this.

"Someone, go to that place and see what happened. I'm waiting for news in the imperial study."

Zhao Chong immediately sent a team of imperial guards out of the palace on horseback.

Go to where the crows gather to get information.

And now in the restaurant.

Several people who were attacking, holding their heads and buried under a large number of crows, screamed again and again.

One of them couldn't bear the attack anymore, so he crawled on his knees towards the table where Tao Yuwei was eating, and begged Tao Yuwei for mercy earnestly.

"Princess Anle, I was wrong. Please drive away these crows and let me go!"

"It's my fault for speaking foul language. I know I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and show mercy!"

At this moment, Tao Yuwei finished a whole bowl of spicy beef noodles with great relish.

He put down the chopsticks in his hand, calmly took out a snow-white handkerchief from his sleeve, and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The crow standing firmly on her shoulder tilted his head and said, "Little girl, I have helped you vent your anger. When we go back, you have to feed me two more pieces of mutton."

[This princess did not ask you for help. Besides, this princess is not satisfied with your way of teaching people.]

[Okay, if you don’t like my methods, then you come!]

The crow angrily called out twice to the tribesman who attacked people, closed its eyes, and refused to speak to her anymore.

After receiving the message to retreat, a large number of crows flew out of the restaurant one after another, without affecting the business at all.

Watching the crows quickly fly out of the restaurant, Tao Yuwei knocked on the table in amusement.

Wow, this crow is really spectacular when it starts to make trouble, as if it's afraid that others don't know.

In the end, she had to clean up the mess, otherwise these crows might be in trouble.

In the eyes of most people, their appearance is an ominous existence. The wealthy families in the city may dislike them and may order them to be hunted.

It is more likely that they will be fed large amounts of raw meat that has been poisoned, which will then bring about a disaster that will lead to the extinction of the crows.

No matter what, they ultimately did such exaggerated things just to help her vent her anger.

She certainly couldn't put them in danger.

Looking at the men lying on the ground, covered in wounds from being pecked by crows, Tao Yuwei walked up to them and said condescendingly, "What you said was too rude and your mouth stinks.

Even the crows, whose cries are unpleasant, couldn't stand it anymore and were summoned over by you.

In my opinion, you must have done something shameful, and God couldn’t bear to see it, so he sent these crows to teach you a lesson. This is God’s warning to you.”

Tao Yuwei talked nonsense, and everyone in the restaurant nodded in agreement.

“That’s right. I’ve lived for decades, but this is the first time I’ve seen so many crows attacking people.

We must also do our jobs properly and not do anything immoral that is harmful to others.

Otherwise, you never know if you will make God angry one day and get struck by lightning."

The restaurant owner, standing at the counter, spoke first.

Others also thought that what he said made sense.

"You guys must have done something shameful and were discovered by these crows. You guys should go to the government office and turn yourself in, so as to avoid being found out and punished."

“I heard what they said just now. They laughed at Princess Anle for occupying Young Master Tian, ​​and then they were attacked by these crows.

I think this must be a lie, otherwise, these crows wouldn't attack them!"

"I heard it too. They are so foul-mouthed that they slandered Princess Anle's reputation. If this happened to an ordinary family, the girl would have been forced to death. These people are so hateful!"

Seeing that everyone was speaking up for her, Tao Yuwei returned to her seat and sat down with peace of mind.

At this moment, Yu Meiyao stood up excitedly and bowed to thank those who spoke for Tao Yuwei.

She could not tolerate the person she admired being laughed at and ridiculed by everyone without any evidence.

False rumors are like poison to the tarsal bone and can kill people.

“Thank you all for your trust. The recent rumors about Princess Anle and Young Master Tian are simply nonsense.

How could Princess Anle fall for Young Master Tian, ​​whose very origins were fake?

In my opinion, he is not a good person, and his father has done many evil things.

His father, the Minister of the Ministry of Land and Revenue, was corrupt and accepted bribes, and cut corners in the construction of dams and dikes, resulting in large tracts of land in the Jiangnan region being flooded.

Millions of civilians were killed or injured, fertile farmland was destroyed, and the clan members were allowed to seize the people’s land.

Innocent people were killed. My parents were beaten to death by the Tian family.

In order to clear the grievances of my parents, I, a humble girl, went through hardships to come to the capital, but was captured by Minister Tian and taken as a skinny horse in Yunzhou.

I was tortured to a point where my life was worse than death by that beast-like Gao Huaizhen, so I escaped and went to the Dali Temple to report the case.

It was Princess Anle who spoke up for justice, unafraid of the other party's repeated use of power to intimidate others, and helped me expose the hypocritical and cunning faces of the Minister of Land and Revenue and the Minister of Rites Gao Huaizheng.

God has eyes, and with conclusive evidence, his father, Minister Tian, ​​has been detained in the Dali Temple.

The Tian family has been ordered to have their property searched. To have been able to spread such vicious rumors about a woman, it must be that Young Master Tian is just like his father, not a gentleman.

Maybe he offended someone outside and they sent someone to stab him. He couldn't find the person, so he blamed it on Princess Anle. She is so unlucky."

After hearing this, everyone in the restaurant was filled with righteous indignation and cursed the Tian family for being good-for-nothings.

He scolded the Tian family for plundering the people's wealth and said they were extremely evil and should be beheaded in public.

Faced with everyone's accusations, some people were unhappy.

"You're talking nonsense. Is Princess Anle really innocent in this matter? Why are Princess Anle and Young Master Tian involved in this matter, but not other people?

In my opinion, a fly won't bite an egg without cracks. Princess Anle must have done something wrong to him, so the rumor spread."

Among the several people who were pecked by crows, there was one who was very unconvinced. He looked at the bloody wounds all over his body and angrily scolded Yu Meiyao.

"That's because he saw that my princess is of noble birth and is highly valued by His Majesty. He is a toad who wants to eat swan meat. In order to climb up, he deliberately plotted against my princess!"

The head maid Yunxiao was angry. She stood up and scolded the other party without any politeness.

"You guys are here speaking for the guilty family, are you in cahoots with Minister Tian?

Is there anyone willing to go to the Dali Temple and deliver a message that the people here are the accomplices of Minister Tian who were involved in corruption and bribery, and ask them to come and arrest them. "

Tao Yuwei was the most relaxed at this moment. She drank the tea brought to her for free by the restaurant owner and listened to her maid angrily scolding those who spoke for the Tian family like watching a play.

"I'll go! I'm willing to deliver the letter to the Dali Temple!"

A young man stepped forward to watch the fun.

The faces of those who were pecked by crows turned black and blue with fear.

"I... We are not the Tian family's accomplices, please stop slandering us here!"

I can't stay here any longer. If I don't leave now, I won't be able to leave.

The injured men supported each other and moved step by step, trying to escape.

Yu Meiyao saw the intentions of these people, and she shouted angrily, "There is something wrong with these people, we can't let them leave here."

Upon hearing this, the other people in the restaurant acted quickly, bravely pounced over and knocked these people to the ground.

The wounds on these people were made worse by the sudden attack.

They didn't care about anything else and struggled desperately to get up.

The situation is not right. If they don't leave now, their identities will be exposed once they are caught and interrogated.

at this time.

A group of royal guards on horseback and armed with swords arrived outside the restaurant.

They saw that the whole street was crowded with people watching the excitement.

Some of the people looked up at the large number of crows still flying in the sky.

Some people who got the news kept crowding towards the restaurant in front.

Even the people from the Five Cities Army, who were in charge of maintaining public order, came out to maintain order.

Only after they revealed their identities to the people from Wucheng Bingmasi did they clear a path leading to the restaurant.

The Royal Guards dismounted and came to the door of the restaurant. They first asked the people watching the excitement around why there were so many crows gathered here.

Then enter the restaurant.

The moment they appeared, Tao Yuwei's eyes flashed and she stood up happily.

"Are you sent by the Emperor to seek justice for this princess?"

She pointed at the people trapped on the ground and said aggrievedly, "This princess was eating noodles here, and they suddenly appeared out of nowhere and spoke for the corrupt and bribed Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

You should arrest them quickly and bring them before the Emperor. Who knows, you might be able to get the whereabouts of the stolen silver from them."
