The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

The city of Suzhou has always been prosperous. Shortly after the hour of Chen, the streets of the city were already crowded with traffic. Amid the bustling crowds, the voices of hawkers shouting and hawking their wares could be heard everywhere.

After entering the city, Xie Xi and Lu Xiaoxiao got off the carriage.

The two walked side by side on the street.

Guard Mu Qing led the carriage diligently. He slowed down his pace and followed behind the two masters with an expressionless face.

There are all kinds of snacks on the street. I can smell the burnt aroma wafting from the front, which seems to be mixed with a hint of sweetness.

Even Lu Xiaoxiao, who had eaten pastries in the carriage before, couldn't help but stop and stare at the small stall in front of her.

Noticing Lu Xiaoxiao's strange behavior, Xie Xi also stopped. Just as he was about to ask, he heard her inner voice: [The stall in front smells really good. It seems to be selling cakes? I feel like trying some.]

[But I just had breakfast. What if I buy it and can’t finish it after eating half of it…]

Xie Xi followed Lu Xiaoxiao's gaze and looked towards the stall in front.

There was only an old woman in front of the stall.

The old woman's hair was combed neatly and her clothes were simple and clean.

Xie Xi never buys these snacks on the street.

However, since his wife wants to eat...

Thinking of this, Xie Xi moved his fingertips slightly, and through his wide sleeves, he held Lu Xiaoxiao's hand and walked quickly with her to the old woman's stall.

Lu Xiaoxiao: ???

[Your Highness, why are you walking so fast all of a sudden? Where are you taking me? ]

[No, why did Your Highness bring me to this cake stall!? ]

[It's impossible that His Highness knew I wanted to eat it, right? That shouldn't be the case. Maybe His Highness came here on purpose because he smelled the aroma? ]

[I have to say, Your Highness's move is very much to my liking! ]

Lu Xiaoxiao tilted her head back slightly, her smiling almond-shaped eyes fixed on Xie Xi's profile.

Listening to him asking the stall owner for a portion of sweet and sticky cake, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "I never thought that His Highness would like to eat this kind of street snack."

Xie Xi: “…”

Xie Xi did not explain, but took the cake wrapped in oil paper from the stall owner and handed it to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Madam, take it first."

"Okay, husband."

Lu Xiaoxiao raised a sweet smile on her face and responded softly, just as she was about to reach out to take it.

Suddenly, they heard a cry of surprise from the front and the sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly rang out. Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi looked up at the same time.

But they saw a man in green riding on a horse not far ahead. He had a gloomy face and shouted to get out of the way. He was coming towards them at a very fast speed.

The people in the city were frightened for a moment and were running around in panic. Some stall owners were so scared that they just dropped their stalls and ran away.

For a moment, the once bustling street was suddenly half empty.

Seeing this scene, Xie Xi's face suddenly darkened.

Xie Xi protected Lu Xiaoxiao and hid to the side, and called out in a cold voice: "Mu Qing!"

Mu Qing, who had been following the two masters, understood instantly. He loosened the reins in his hands, jumped up lightly, and rushed towards the man in green riding on the horse at an extremely fast speed.

The long sword at his waist was unsheathed in an instant, and Mu Qing held the long sword in his hand. Before the man in green could react, Mu Qing's sword had already pierced the horse's butt. The horse was frightened and jumped around like crazy.

Mu Qing swung his sword again, and the horse neighed in pain and finally fell to the ground, taking the man in green on its back with him and throwing him to the ground.

Xie Xi subconsciously reached out and covered Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Lu Xiaoxiao: “……?”

Lu Xiaoxiao did not move, but was confused: [Your Highness, why did you have to cover my eyes? ]

Xie Xi didn't want her to see the blood ahead.

There was blood flowing from under the horse that fell to the ground.

Mu Qing put away his sword and was about to return to the carriage when he heard a cold shout from behind him: "Stop right there!"

Mu Qing still had an expressionless look on his face. He continued walking forward without pausing for the slightest, as if he didn't hear the voice of the person behind him.

"You killed my horse and you still want to leave!?"

Li Youbin, who was dressed in green, was furious. He quickly got up from the ground, holding a horsewhip in his hand, and strode towards Mu Qing.

Because the horse was at the bottom, Li Youbin was not hurt when he fell to the ground.

Mu Qing didn't walk fast.

Li Youbin chased after him, and as soon as he got close, he swung the whip in his hand and rushed towards Mu Qing's door.

Mu Qing remained calm, raised his hand, and grasped the whip that was thrown at him, and said calmly: "You rode your horse recklessly in the street, disturbing the people in the city. If you were sent to the government office, you would be punished. Now I have killed your horse, which is considered to be helping you."

"You still want to send me to the government office?"

Li Youbin sneered and said with disdain: "Do you know who I am? In Suzhou City, no government office dares to torture me!"

"On the contrary, you killed my horse, so you should pay for my horse's life!"

Li Youbin raised his chin slightly, with an arrogant look on his face, and threatened Mu Qing in a sinister tone: "Either you go to the government office to be punished, or you kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy! Who knows, I might even let you go!"

[Who is it that speaks so arrogantly and with such a loud tone! ? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao was really curious.

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but quietly reached out and pulled down Xie Xi's hands that were covering her eyes. When she noticed Xie Xi frowning, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately acted coquettishly towards him: "Husband, I want to see."

[I want to see which royal relative is this, who actually behaved like this in Suzhou City, and no government office dared to punish him? ]

Xie Xi frowned slightly.

Xie Xi didn't remember there being such a person in the royal family.

This person behaves so arrogantly, there must be someone backing him.

Before Lu Xiaoxiao opened the system, she heard the words of the old woman selling cakes: "You two should leave quickly. He is the young master of the Li family. I heard that his sister is the concubine of the Jiangnan Governor Shi. Don't mess with him..."

The old woman did not dare to say much. Seeing the two customers still standing in front of her, she quickly packed up her stall and did not dare to continue setting up the stall here.

Upon hearing that this person's backer was Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an, Xie Xi's eyes darkened slightly, and instead of getting angry he smiled and said softly, "Good, that's really good."

It seems that Shi Weian really has the final say in the Jiangnan area.

If Shi Weian is not eliminated, the Kingdom of Li will be in danger in the future.

[Surname Li? The brother-in-law of Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an! ? ? ]

Without paying attention to His Highness's reaction, Lu Xiaoxiao came to her senses in an instant, and quickly used her consciousness to open the system's melon-eating function, and quickly searched the face of the man in green.

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.

【Yes! 】

Xie Xi's eyes moved slightly, and he listened attentively.

[The young master of the Li family, Li Youbin, his parents are still alive, his family is a merchant with a small fortune, he has an elder sister named Li Qiuqiu, who is the concubine of Jiangnan Governor Shi Wei'an.]

[Li Qiuqiu is beautiful, capable, and understands Shi Weian's mind. She is now favored by Shi Weian. Similarly, Li Qiuqiu can also gain Shi Weian's trust...]

Xie Xi remembered that Lu Xiaoxiao had said before that Shi Weian's favorite concubine was Li.

Xie Xi originally just wanted to take Lu Xiaoxiao into the city to relax, but he didn't expect that the Li Youbin he met would actually be Li's younger brother. This was an unexpected gain.

[Just because he has a sister who is a mistress, Li Youbin dares to call himself Shi Weian's brother-in-law? Is he really not afraid of being beaten? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly and read through all the information about Li Youbin, but the more he read, the angrier he became.

Do not do any good things, but take all the bad things!

[A scum like Li Youbin deserves death a thousand times! 】

[I’m so mad, I’m really mad! ]

Lu Xiaoxiao suppressed the anger in her heart, kept Li Youbin's crime firmly in mind, and then used her consciousness to shut down the system's melon-eating function.

Lu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, her face tense. She looked at Xie Xi and said, "Husband, let's go too."

"it is good."

Xie Xi didn't know what other news Lu Xiaoxiao had received. He was unable to hear the details, but he could only hear her anger.

However, Li Youbin was still somewhat useful to Xie Xi.

After resolving the Jiangnan issue, if Xiaoxiao is unwilling to let Li Youbin go, then he will hand Li Youbin over to Xiaoxiao for disposal. Perhaps this will ease Xiaoxiao's anger?

Xie Xi pondered: Why not let Mu Qing kidnap the person tonight? Then, we can use Li Youbin to threaten the Li family...

Shi Weian is too cunning. If you want to deal with Shi Weian, you can only start with the people he trusts the most.

If not...

At this time, Mu Qing was still stopped by Li Youbin and was not allowed to leave.

After hearing Li Youbin's arrogant words, Mu Qing didn't even look at him. He drew out his sword and put it across Li Youbin's neck with a swift movement. "Want to die?"

The sharp blade was against his neck, with a slight chill, which frightened Li Youbin so much that his eyes widened. Li Youbin did not even dare to move, and said with forced calmness: "You you you you——"

"How dare you attack me? How dare you! I will definitely send you to the prison in the government office!"

"Oh."

Mu Qing remained unmoved.

Mu Qing was waiting for his master's instructions.

There were not many people on the street at this time. Apart from the four of them, there were only a few stall owners hiding secretly in the corner, staring at the situation here.

However, no one deliberately went to report to the police.

Li Youbin, the young master of the Li family, relied on the fact that his sister was the woman of the Governor of Jiangnan and often acted arrogantly and recklessly in the city. Many people in Suzhou had suffered from Li Youbin's bullying.

What's more, Li Youbin also committed the evil deeds of robbing women and forcing them into prostitution, causing the destruction of other people's families...

If Li Youbin didn't have a backer, he would have died thousands of times for all the evil he did!

Now seeing Li Youbin being held hostage by a hero with a sword, they could only applaud in secret, wishing that Li Youbin would die in front of them!

Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi walked towards Mu Qing.

The sword in Mu Qing's hand was very steady. Although it was against Li Youbin's neck, it did not hurt him at all.

"Sir, madam."

Mu Qing said in a calm voice: "This man rode his horse recklessly in the street and almost hurt Madam. I wonder how you will deal with him, young master?"

"Send it to the government office."

Xie Xi took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Mu Qing, saying calmly, "Tell the government office that he must be punished. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

The jade pendant on Xie Xi's waist originally belonged to his fourth brother Xie Jin, but it was borrowed by Xie Xi and he never returned it.

Now it is used to intimidate the Suzhou government, which is quite useful.

Huh... Do you think that sending him to the government office will allow him to be punished?

Dream on!

Li Youbin sneered in his heart. That was perfect. When he got to the government office, he would also file a complaint with the adults!

"Yes, son."

Mu Qing responded, quickly put away his sword, and carried Li Youbin towards the Suzhou government office.

Li Youbin did not struggle.

It's on the way anyway.

Lu Xiaoxiao was somewhat surprised at the decision made by His Highness. "My husband, if you ask Guard Mu Qing to send him to the government office, will he definitely be punished?"

[After all, Li Youbin had connections with the Suzhou government office. If they sent Li Youbin to be punished, maybe the Suzhou government office was just pretending to do it?]

"With Fourth Brother's jade pendant, the Suzhou government shouldn't dare to fool around, unless he doesn't want the black gauze hat on his head. If Madam is worried, why don't I accompany Madam to take a look?"

When mentioning his fourth brother, Xie Xi's eyes dimmed slightly. He had received news from Shengjing City last night that his fourth brother was already on his way to Jiangnan.

Fourth brother...

Xie Xi no longer knew whether his fourth brother was still his fourth brother.

Although Lu Xiaoxiao really wanted to watch it, she had other concerns in her mind.

[Officials in this area of ​​Jiangnan are all protective of each other. If Your Highness goes there and the lord in Suzhou discovers your identity and spreads the news, wouldn't it be detrimental to Your Highness's search for evidence in secret?]

[Forget it, Guard Mu Qing is watching over there, so there's no need for me to go over and join in the fun.]

[After all, His Highness's affairs are more important at the moment. His Highness must not make any mistakes in hiding his identity.]

"No, there's nothing to see."

Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and shook her head, "Husband, I'm a little tired. Why don't we go to Luoyang Inn and sit down first?"

"Alright."

Xie Xi knew that Xiaoxiao was concerned about his identity, and since it was her kindness, he couldn't refuse.

Without waiting for Guard Mu Qing to come back, Xie Xi and Lu Xiaoxiao walked towards the direction of Luoyang Inn.

However, they didn't know that not long after they left, five yamen runners hurried over.

They failed to find the person the adults asked them to look for, and all they saw was a dead horse, with the blood on the ground almost dried up.

"Boss, we didn't find anyone over there."

A young yamen runner searched everywhere and then hurried back to report.

The leader wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve and said, "We are late. I am afraid that person has already left. Let's go back and report to the adults first."

"Yes."

The yamen runners who came with him all responded.
