The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Qin Jun took one look at the injured Qingqing and became furious. He led the guards from the Ministry of Justice to fight hard and gradually stabilized the situation.

Lin Wanwan's eyes flashed: "Ye Lan, go and tell Zitan that the princess was assassinated. She is dead."

Ye Lan looked around. Seeing that Lin Wanwan was not in danger, he nodded, tiptoed to Qingqing's carriage, and said to Zitan: "Go and tell her that the princess is dead."

Upon hearing this, Zitan immediately reacted and burst into tears: "Princess! Princess!"

Zi Tan came out of the carriage and shouted at the men in black: "How dare you kill the princess! Who sent you here?"

Dead? The princess died? When the men in black heard that the princess was dead, they all looked at each other and forgot to fight with the guards of the Ministry of Justice.

"Catch him alive!" Qin Jun saw this and slashed the black-clothed man who had scratched Qingqing in the throat with a knife!

At this time, the rest of the men in black became panicked. Seeing that the situation was not good, they began to retreat.

Ye Lan thought about what the princess said about capturing him alive, so he leaped up, blocked a man in black, put his hands behind his back, and was about to bring him in front of Lin Wanwan.

The man in black gritted his teeth and swallowed the poison. His body went limp and he died.

The guards of the Ministry of Justice pursued the enemy and eventually captured most of the men in black. When they were about to bring them before the princess for interrogation, those men in black all gritted their teeth and committed suicide by taking poison.

Not a single person was left alive.

Several other men in black escaped.

Qin Jun came back and reported: "Master Lin, these are all deadpools. They have committed suicide by taking poison, and several of them have escaped."

Ye Lan also came back to salute: "Qin Jun is right, these people are very ruthless, they don't seem like people from the underworld."

Su Ye walked over and kicked the black-clothed man's body fiercely with his foot: "The lackeys sent by that dog dared to assassinate me."

He kicked it hard again: "Damn it!"

Qin Jun said again: "Princess, Lord Ouyang has instructed that if the princess encounters any accident on the road, I will send someone to inform Lord of the matter."

Lin Wanwan's eyes were deep as she said, "Okay. Qin Jun, get a few people to search the man in black, take off his clothes, and bring them to your Lord Ouyang."

At this time, Su Ye had vented his anger on the man in black, looked around and shouted, "Princess! Situ Liuyun is missing!"

When Lin Wanwan heard this, she recalled Situ Liuyun and quickly scanned the scene.

Lin Wanwan frowned, feeling a little surprised that Situ Liuyun had never come back since he ran into the woods.

Qin Jun looked at the guards and said, "Search all those men in black."

Lin Wanwan said: "Send two people to find Situ Liuyun."

Qin Jun also felt strange when he heard this, and directed the two people: "You two, go find Doctor Situ first."

The guards said, "Yes."

Not a moment later.

A guard found a hard object on the man in black and handed it to Qin Jun: "Commander Qin, a token was found on a man in black."

Qin Jun took it and looked at it. It didn't look like something from an ordinary family, but something from the palace. He said, "You two, take off the black-clothed man's clothes, along with the token, and return to Kyoto City as soon as possible and hand them over to Lord Ouyang."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the two guards rode their horses and hurried to Kyoto City.

Lin Wanwan glanced at Qingqing's carriage, hurried over, opened the curtain, and saw Qingqing turning her head with difficulty, crying, "Princess..."

As she moved, blood continued to ooze out of the wound on her back, seeping through her clothes and flowing down her spine.

Zitan pressed on her back, at a loss for a moment.

Lin Wanwan stepped out of the carriage and said anxiously, "Si Tu Liuyun is not here, Qin Jun, you should treat Qingqing's wound first. You should be able to handle it in an emergency, right?"

Qin Jun quickly tore off a piece of clothing from his body, entered the carriage and came to Qingqing's side.

With a "rip" sound, Qin Jun gently tore the clothes on Qingqing's back.

"It hurts!" Qingqing cried.

Qin Jun took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and wiped the blood around the wound with a clean corner of his clothes. Then, he pressed the torn cloth tightly against the wound, trying to stop the blood from flowing out.

Qingqing trembled with pain and cried, "Am I going to die?"

Qin Jun pressed the wound and comforted Qingqing softly: "No."

Qingqing felt much more relieved after hearing this.

Qin Jun's eyes gradually revealed heartache and worry, and he used gentle force in every movement.

Zitan looked at him, and Qin Jun's slightly frowned brows showed his inner nervousness and anxiety.

Zitan smiled faintly.

After a while.

Qin Jun simply treated the wound and came out: "Princess, Qingqing needs to see the Taifu, we have to get to Pingyang City as soon as possible."

Lin Wanwan saw that the other two guards still couldn't find any trace of Situ Liuyun. Her eyes were deep and she said:

“Qin Jun, leave those two behind to continue searching for Situ Liuyun.

How many men do we have left?"

Qin Jun took a quick look and saw about ten dead at the scene. He counted the number of people and said, "Only twelve.

Take two people away to look for Doctor Situ, and there are still ten people left."

Lin Wanwan nodded and said, "Let's not wait for Situ Liuyun. Let's go to Pingyang City immediately."

……

At this time, in Pingyang City.

In the most prosperous area in the center of Pingyang City, the vermilion gate is tall and majestic, and it is inlaid with glittering copper nails that sparkle in the sunlight.

This is the home of Qian Wanguan, the richest businessman in Pingyang City.

Qian Wanguan was fat, with a round face and small eyes. He always wore a luxurious silk robe and several dazzling jewel rings on his hands.

Walking in his own courtyard, the weather was hot and the cotton in Pingyang City was damaged. His eyes immediately lit up and he secretly thought:

Hey! This is a great opportunity!

Those cotton farmers are now desperate, so they can buy all the land from Luo Mingyuan at a low price, and then collect the cotton to make cotton clothes.

Anyone who has no warm clothes at home.

If you don’t buy my cotton-padded clothes, you will freeze to death. Are you afraid of not making a lot of money?

Ha ha ha ha! "

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, his laughter was sharp and piercing.

"Someone, go find Luo Mingyuan for me."

Not long after, Luo Mingyuan, the largest cotton grower in Pingyang City, entered Qian Wanguan's house.

Qian Wanguan sat on a luxurious armchair, drinking tea leisurely, glancing at Luo Mingyuan and said arrogantly:

"Luo Mingyuan, I'll pay you three hundred taels of silver to buy your ancestral cotton field next to the official road. How about that?"

When Luo Mingyuan heard this, he sneered and said, "If it's still about this matter, there's no need to continue talking."

When Qian Wanguan heard this, he slammed the table:

"Luo Mingyuan, don't be so ungrateful! The cotton is almost dead now, and there is no point in keeping this land.

I negotiate with you in detail every year, and the price has increased from one hundred taels to three hundred taels. The price I offer is already very fair.

How much money do you make from buying cotton clothes in winter?

Besides, the weather is even hotter this year. If you don’t sell, the cotton will all die and you won’t get a penny! ”

Luo Mingyuan's eyes were deep: "I would rather let it wither than sell it to you."

Qian Wanguan's face darkened, he put the teacup heavily on the table and threatened:

"Humph! Luo Mingyuan, don't refuse my toast and drink the forfeit wine!

You know very well what status I, Qian Wanguan, hold in Pingyang City!

I have never failed to get what I want! Just wait and see! "

Luo Mingyuan immediately stood up and walked out of Qian Wanguan's house.

Seeing Luo Mingyuan walking away, Qian Wanguan's face darkened. He was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted, "Someone, call Zhao Liu to me."

Zhao Liu was a notorious gangster in Pingyang City. When he heard that Qian Wanguan wanted to see him for something, he rushed into Qian Wanguan's house like a fly smelling money.

Zhao Liu approached with a chubby face and said cheerfully, "Mr. Qian, are you looking for me?"

Qian Wanguan looked fierce, gritted his teeth and ordered Zhao Liu:

"Listen to me, Zhao Liu! Luo Mingyuan is such an ungrateful guy that he is blocking my path to wealth.

Now, I want you to find someone to cause trouble in his cotton field and teach him a lesson.

Let him know the consequences of going against me! After the task is completed, I will give you thirty taels of silver."

Zhao Liu said flatteringly:

"Master Qian, don't worry, we will take care of this little thing.

However, after the matter is completed, the benefits you promised cannot be reduced."

Qian Wanguan glared at him and said viciously:

"As long as you do your job well, you will get the benefits!

But I have to be frank with you, remember, don’t let anyone get killed, or I’ll be in big trouble!”

Zhao Liu nodded repeatedly and said:

"Mr. Qian, just wait and see. We promise to get things done properly!"

Qian Wanguan then waved his hand, signaling Zhao Liu to act quickly.

Zhao Liu walked around the street, found a few hooligans, picked up weapons, and headed towards Luo Mingyuan's cotton field.

……

Half an hour later.

Lin Wanwan's carriage has entered Pingyang City.

The setting sun was as red as blood, shining on the dilapidated city gate of Pingyang City.

The vermilion lacquer on the city gate has long since peeled off, and the mottled wood grain is like deep wrinkles carved by time.

Qin Jun stopped driving the carriage, narrowed his eyes, fixed his gaze on the height, then frowned. With a serious expression, he drove his horse into the gate of Pingyang City.

He felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

But he couldn't describe this strange feeling.

After all, he was the commander of the guards of the Ministry of Justice and had always been with Ouyang Qingyu. It was also the first time that he left Ouyang Qingyu and left Kyoto City in order to protect others.

"Mr. Lin, we have entered Pingyang City." Qin Jun's voice came from the front of the carriage.

Lin Wanwan nodded and said, "Okay. Is there any news about Situ Liuyun?"

Qin Jun looked back and didn't see the person coming, so he just said, "I haven't found him yet."

Lin Wanwan's eyes darkened as she said, "Send more people to look for him."

Qin Jun nodded and signaled to the two guards from the Ministry of Justice: "You two, go find Doctor Situ as well."

The two guards hurried away.

Su Ye, who was in the carriage, heard that they had entered Pingyang City. He lifted the curtain of the carriage with the folding fan in his hand and looked outside.

With just one glance, the scene before him was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard; as far as his eyes could see, the streets of Pingyang City were narrow and dilapidated, and the atmosphere of poverty and hardship was everywhere.

The people lining both sides of the street were pale and thin, half-naked, and their eyes revealed endless fatigue and despair.

In the distance, a few ragged children were rummaging through the garbage dump for food. Their skinny bodies looked like they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Next to the garbage dump, there are ragged old people huddled in the corner with desperate expressions, helplessly waiting for the end of their lives.

Su Ye's breathing became heavy and he quickly lowered the door curtain. The shocking scene made his stomach extremely uncomfortable and he almost vomited.

Ye Lan asked expressionlessly: "Why? Are you carsick too?"

Su Ye did not answer. He could not imagine that under the same blue sky, so many people were living in dire straits.

The luxurious life that he once took pride in now seemed so absurd and sinful.

"Ye Lan, shut up." Su Ye leaned on the edge of the carriage, unable to speak for a long time, with endless self-blame and guilt in his heart.

Ye Lan added: "If you want to vomit, go outside and don't vomit in the carriage."

"No." Su Ye lowered his head to the ground and couldn't help muttering:

“I’m Su Ye, a famous playboy in Kyoto. I grew up in a wealthy family and lived a life of luxury and extravagance.

He travels through the bustling streets all day long, indulging in fine wine and delicious food, singing and dancing, and has never known the sufferings of the world.

Ten thousand taels to buy a painting, ten thousand taels to reward, I won’t even blink an eye.”

After hearing this, Ye Lan fell silent.

"Hehehe...hahaha..." Su Ye couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and Su Ye used his fan to open the carriage curtain again:

"It's great that the princess brought me to Pingyang City, so that I, Su Ye, can have the opportunity to help these poor people."
