  Ping Shi Qi Lang had just entered the Drunken Moon Pavilion when the little beggar who handed him a note slipped into an alley.

  "Brother Luo, I've got it in hand, hehe, so much gold!"

  Luó Zǐ took the money bag in his hand, saw the little beggar gazing at it reluctantly, and couldn't help but say: "What's your hurry? I said before, this money is for you few people to leave here as travel expenses, when the time comes, you'll divide it equally, I won't take a single penny!"

  "Hurray!" The little beggar was so excited that he jumped up, he was an old hand, as soon as he got the money bag, he knew how much money was inside. Let's divide it equally, there must be at least one hundred taels of gold in here! He had never seen so much money in his life. In a twinkling, they several little beggars became rich men, and the little beggar felt that he himself had become light as air.

  Luoyin felt quite unaccustomed to the red dress on her body.

  Compared to her aloof and ordinary personality, this dress is too showy and eye-catching, and it especially sets off her skin and figure. Although there's nothing out of the ordinary about it, as they usually dress like this anyway. But Lu Yue, who was used to having a plain face, still felt extremely uncomfortable.

  So she immediately rushed home after achieving her goal of sparking romance.

  She came to the alley, Lu Xuan suddenly turned her head, but she looked around for a while and didn't notice anything unusual. She put down her doubts and hurried back home to change into her usual clothes.

  After changing her clothes, Lu Yue tidied up at home and estimated that the time was almost right, then went out of the house again.

  At this time, the sunset outside was setting in the west, and the Drunken Moon Pavilion had already begun to hang lanterns and decorate.

  In the midst of the bustling crowd coming and going in the Drunken Moon Pavilion, only the mother of the Drunken Moon Pavilion was seen walking out with Heikuro. She twisted her waist and smiled brightly as she said: "This Heike gentleman, it's not that I don't trust your character, but rather... since ancient times, there has never been a reason for not bringing money when visiting prostitutes. Moreover, sir, you haven't appeared in Hankou for a long time, if Yuese hadn't recognized you, I wouldn't have believed what you said!"

  Mother's voice was not loud, and only Heikuro could hear what she said. After all, she was also an old fox, since she had agreed to let Heikuro have his way with her daughter. There was no need to save face in front of everyone now.

  But this remark still needs to be explained, right? Anyway, it's got to make him remember.

  Although no one was paying attention here, Kiyoshirō's face still looked extremely unpleasant.

  He never thought that one day he would capsize in the ditch, his money stolen and also being labeled as a freeloader!

  Freeloader! Is this what Taira no Shigeyori is like?

  It's a pity that he can't even remember where he lost his wallet now. Hum, if he finds the thief who stole his belongings, he will torture him to death! How dare someone make Ping Qiulang lose so much face? He wants the whole family of that person to die! Hum, for years, the Ping clan has been dominating in Hanyang, and no one has ever dared to provoke them!

  Feeling intense shame and resentment, Heihachi's face was somewhat distorted and pale. He barely managed to bow to his nagging mother before striding away with large steps.

  Maybe he is having an unlucky year.

  Just as Hei Qī Láng was hurrying back, a short and dirty figure suddenly came running towards him in a flurry!

  At this moment, Hei Shichirō's heart was filled with indignation. Unintentionally, he kept looking back at the figure, who was also in a state of panic. As they ran, the two of them suddenly collided!

  It's fine if he just bumped into him. The key is that this little beggar who suddenly bumped into Ping Qiulang's arms, when he was bumped to one side, his right hand touched and actually grabbed onto his ** to steady himself!

  "Ah——" Hei Fuku Shichirō, who had just been satisfied, was now in extreme pain.

  A loud cry of despair drew everyone's attention. Ping Qilang, filled with rage and humiliation, could no longer control the evil nature within him, and he pushed the little beggar to the ground. He then mindlessly kicked the boy's head with his foot.

  "Damn you, you scoundrel! Was it you who stole my wallet just now? I'll kill you, you little beast!"

  He had only kicked him twice, when the beggar began to roll on the ground, crying out in a loud voice: "Save me! The filial and incorruptible gentleman is beating me! Come quickly and save me! The filial and incorruptible gentleman of the Ping Prefecture is going to kill me!"

  The beggar's cry was extremely mournful, seemingly due to the intense pain and suffering, while the figure that could not help but roll around and howl in agony appeared all the more pitiful.

  At that moment, the crowd swarmed up. While hesitating whether to stop or not, some voices also discussed, "Who is this person?" "It's said he's a Xiaolian from Pingfu." "How can that be? Aren't all Xiaolians loyal and righteous officials? How could someone like him become a Xiaolian?" "Right, what Xiaolian are loyal and righteous? Xiaolian is just a plaything for the rich. Haven't you seen this person come out of Zuiyue Pavilion?"

  Among the chaotic discussions, a small voice came through, "I heard from the mother of Zuiyue Pavilion that this filial and incorruptible official had an affair with a woman but didn't even give her money."

  Picking up a woman without paying? This is big news. As a result, the already boiling crowd became even more agitated.

  Hei Taira kicked the little beggar a few times, and soon heard the surrounding voices of blame and scolding. After listening to two sentences, his forehead was covered with cold sweat!

  No good!

  His face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and charged forward.

  At this time, he wanted to leave, but the little beggar didn't let him go. He somehow wrapped himself around Ping Qiulang's legs and wailed loudly: "Hao Lian Ye, spare me, I beg of you!" Although it was clear that the little beggar was holding onto him, everyone thought Ping Qiulang was stepping on the little beggar, and because the little beggar was crying so pitifully, the surrounding accusations and curses grew even louder.

  He Ping's whole body was chilled to the bone, and an indescribable sense of horror surged up in his heart. In the midst of boundless fear, he looked around frantically, and as he did so, he met the gaze of an old man who was staring at him with anger and contempt.

  Suddenly, Hirano Shirō felt his heart and throat constricting, and his vision began to darken.

  At this time, it was not only Ping Qiulang who noticed the old man, but also Lu Yue, who was mixed in the crowd watching the excitement.

  She glanced at Heizou who was drenched in sweat and smiled slightly before turning around to leave.

  What happened next had nothing to do with her. At this time, Lu Yue returned home.

  Lu Yun was waiting for her at home. Seeing his sister return, he hurriedly went up to greet her.

  Lu Yue closed the door and looked at her brother, saying in a low voice: "It's done!"

  "Sister, what's wrong?"

  Lu Xuan smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know in two days."

  Indeed, after two days, Lu Yun received news that the three elders who had just arrived were extremely indignant about the moral education of Han Yang. They believed that the county magistrate of Han Yang was not strict enough and actually allowed those wealthy but unkind rich households and those cruel villains to have the qualifications for filial piety.

  Filial piety and integrity, originally should be of the highest purity, originally should reward loyal ministers and righteous scholars, filial sons and benevolent men. But in this one place, Hanyang, filial piety and integrity have become a convenient path for the rich to climb up. How can the three elderly men who are diligently worried about the newly established imperial court not be angry?

  They were not worried about this anger, and then the whole city of Hanyang was full of rich people who were trembling with fear. The county magistrate of Hanyang had been colluding with the Ping family for many years, and he would receive a large sum of money from the Ping family every year, turning a blind eye to their actions as a matter of course. But this time, the Ping family's unscrupulous behavior made him also be criticized by others, especially after this disturbance, which made his official career stagnant from then on. The county magistrate of Hanyang was also angry with the Ping family.

  It is said that to cut off a person's future prospects is like killing their parents. With this, the corrupt officials and merchants who colluded with each other were completely split apart. At the same time, the Ping family received news that they had been found guilty of conspiring together to deceive the emperor, and as a result, none of their sons would be allowed to take the filial piety examination for ten years, and the imperial court would publicly announce their wrongdoings throughout the land.

  From now on, Pingfu's background is gone, and his future is also gone. This family that relied on business to rise, has no more room for advancement!

  Lu Yun, who had figured out all these things, looked very excited. Especially after Lu Xuan told him how she did it, he felt that he had grown a lot.

  It was then that he first realized that a family with wealth but no power could be trampled underfoot by others with just a few words.

  He first realized that a rich family, no matter how arrogant, would be nothing to worry about as long as it cut off its connections with the government.

  That evening, Lu Yun and Lu Xuan were in the city center again. After hearing some rumors about the Ping family, Lu Yun leaned close to her sister and asked quietly: "Sister, will our grandparents not bother us anymore from now on?"

  Lu Xuan fell silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Maybe it will, maybe it won't." She pursed her lips and spoke in a low voice: "The current Ping family has lost the way of relying on their children to advance, and they have also offended the magistrate of Hanyang County. In the world, they have gained a bad reputation. If there are no unexpected events, the entire family will only become more and more decline. The officials only need to make some adjustments in taxes every year, and they can force the Ping family to bankruptcy."

  Afraid, Ping Shi knew that her future was hopeless and that her family's reputation had been ruined to the core. She also knew that she couldn't possibly gain the favor of that noble person. Yet, she still couldn't see her own position clearly and continued to indulge in wild fantasies, thinking that she could grasp at that straw through her.

  ...when the time really came, she would take the second step and cut off his hands and feet!

  Now, she really doesn't want to go too far. If they don't force her, she never wants to go too far.

  The sister and brother chatted and laughed for a while. Lu Yun saw a classmate, so she ran over, and the two young people gathered together to play and joke around.

  Lu Yun, chatting and laughing with his classmates, didn't notice a cow cart suddenly appearing in front of him. The person inside the cart said something, after which his sister's face turned pale, and she helplessly climbed onto the cart, disappearing from his sight...
