Xu Qi'an's heart was filled with an evil fire. In the instant the horse's hooves lifted, he took out the string of copper coins from his chest and threw them with all his might. At the same time, the green bricks under his feet cracked and his figure shot out like lightning.

The seventy-two copper coins whistled through the air and splashed towards the young man in brocade.

The young man showed no reaction to the incoming killing move, and the interesting expression of crushing ants was still on his face.

It was a follower who reacted instead, his face changing dramatically as he pounced on the young man and knocked him off his horse. The two of them tumbled to the ground in a sorry state.

Puff, puff, puff... some of the copper coins shot into the air, while others embedded themselves in the horse, splattering Xu Lingyue's face with blood.

At the same time, Xu Qi'an arrived, tilting his body and slamming into the horse with his shoulder and back.

The tall and majestic horse was knocked several meters away, dragging a dazzling crimson trail on the street paved with blue stones.

The people scattered in a commotion, hiding in the distance to watch the excitement.

Xu Qi'an immediately hugged Xiao Douding tightly in his arms, observing her expression while comforting her urgently, "Don't be afraid, big brother is here."

Xiao Douding pouted and finally broke free from her daze, bursting into tears.

The followers surrounding Xu Lingyue no longer paid attention to her and rushed towards the young man in brocade.

Xu Qi'an took the opportunity to hand his younger sister to Xu Lingyue, whose pretty face turned pale, and whispered, "Take her to the Changle County yamen, beat the drum and say I sent you. Then ask Wang Butou to send someone to invite Second Uncle from the Yudao Wei Zhu family, in Huanglin Street. Hurry!"

Xu Lingyue looked deeply at Xu Qi'an and fled with Xiao Douding.

"You dare to kill my horse." The young man in brocade grinned and broke free from his followers, waving his hand to have them surround Xu Qi'an.

I still want to kill you....

It was a snow-tailed black dragon steed that was worth a fortune and could only be ridden by a vice-general or above in the army.

Xu Ershu had a military background, and Xu Qi'an, who had been influenced by him, recognized the grade of this horse at a glance. In modern times, it was like a Lamborghini.

Those who could afford to drive a Lamborghini were definitely top-tier second-generation officials, and they were not worth much if they were only rich second-generation.

In addition to the snow-tailed black dragon steed, the gorgeous sky blue and smoke purple embroidered outfit, the white jade belt with carved dragon patterns around the waist, and the jingling purses and jade pendants hanging all over... all these details were indicating the young man's identity.

Top-tier official second-generation.

"I am Xu Qi'an, the nephew of Yudao Wei Baihu Xu Pingzhi. The two just now were my sisters. I don't know where we offended you, young master." Xu Qi'an bowed and spoke politely, suppressing his anger."To save my younger sister, I killed the beloved horse of the young master and must compensate."

Xu Qi'an could easily guess the reason behind this conflict. The young master must have been attracted by Xu Lingyue's beauty and had the intention to harass or even abduct her.

After a month of working at the yamen, Xu Qi'an was well aware of the behavior of these young masters. They were arrogant and lawless, often resorting to kidnapping and murder.

Dealing with them was easy, just a matter of intimidation or bribery. If they didn't comply, their entire family would suffer.

The higher the rank of their family elders, the more they would act this way. The court would not dismiss high-ranking officials for the sake of a few commoners.

In the eyes of these yamen officials, bullying common people was not a big deal. Only the offspring of officials could defeat the offspring of officials.

Xu Qi'an could barely be considered the offspring of an official. Xu Pingzhi was a seventh-grade green robe official, not a commoner.

The offspring of officials would not dare to bully common people recklessly. They would have reservations when dealing with others who also received a government salary.

Because the water in the capital was deep!

The young master was stunned and asked, "Is Xu Pingzhi the one who lost the tax money?"

"Exactly!" Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief.

The young master's face suddenly darkened and he said coldly, "Disable him, but leave him alive."

What a lunatic... Xu Qi'an almost cursed.

The followers were all trained martial artists with good skills. They took out their knives from their pockets.

In the capital, only officials were allowed to carry knives. Those who did not wear official robes and carried knives would be punished with 80 lashes and a fine of 100 taels of silver.

Gathering with knives would result in execution.

However, knives were not included in this category, and these people had found a loophole in the law.

The five followers were not only trained martial artists, but also knew how to cooperate seamlessly.

Two of them attacked Xu Qi'an together, stabbing their knives at him. Xu Qi'an grabbed their wrists and was about to fight back when he saw them move apart to the left and right. The follower who had saved the young master flew up and delivered a fierce knee strike.

Xu Qi'an had to retract his hand and cross it in front of his chest.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

Bang!

The sturdy knee bone hit his arm, causing a burning pain.

The remaining two followers sandwiched him from the side. One missed his knife stab, while the other made a bloody cut on Xu Qi'an's waist.

"Break his tendons and disable him." The young master said fiercely.

Xu Qi'an glanced at him without saying a word, analyzing the situation in his mind.

They were all in the Refining Qi Realm, but not at the peak. In a one-on-one fight, he could beat any of them, but they had learned how to cooperate in joint attacks...The dagger attacked again. Xu Qi'an used the martial arts he learned in his previous life to defend himself, pretending to gradually run out of energy.

As a warrior in the peak of the refining energy realm, his strength was endless and he wouldn't easily tire out. But he couldn't let the other party figure out his bottom line, otherwise he would have no chance.

Seeing that the guards couldn't take down Xu Qi'an, the young man in brocade frowned and stood far away, taunting, "Xu surname, kneel down and kowtow to me, call me grandpa, and I'll spare your life."

Xu Qi'an responded loudly, "Grandpa, great grandmother's taste is really good."

Instead of angering Xu Qi'an, the young man himself was provoked. He shouted, "Kill him."

Bang!

After exchanging punches with the strongest guard, Xu Qi'an pretended to be defeated and stumbled back.

The other four guards took the opportunity to surround him.

Just then, the green bricks under Xu Qi'an's feet cracked, and his leg muscles bulged his pants. He shot out like an arrow, hitting the left guard's side and causing him to spit blood and break his chest bone.

The guards didn't expect him to hide his strength and were caught off guard, allowing him to break free from the encirclement.

Xu Qi'an didn't flee, but went straight for the young man in brocade. He grabbed his neck and punched him hard in the stomach, causing him to double over and vomit.

Xu Qi'an continued to punch him without changing his expression, until the young man fell to his knees, clutching his stomach.

The evil fire in Xu Qi'an's heart subsided slightly, and he didn't continue to attack. He turned his head and shouted at the guards who were coming to rescue, "Don't move, or I'll kill him."

The guards were afraid and didn't move.

"Very well..." The young man in brocade lifted his head with a resentful expression. "Do you know who I am?"

Bang!

Xu Qi'an stepped on his face and the filth, exerting silent force with his foot, causing the young man to scream in pain.

"I'll teach you a lesson too." Xu Qi'an's face was grim. "Even a commoner has anger, and when a commoner gets angry, blood will be shed within five steps."

After a moment of confrontation, a group of catchpoles wearing black uniforms and carrying wooden knives arrived with a dozen or so servants.

The leader was Wang, the chief catcher.

Wang was angry when he heard that his little brother had been beaten up. When he saw the brocade clothes of the young man, his face stiffened for a moment, then he regained his anger and shouted, "Who dares to fight in the jurisdiction of Changle County?"

Seeing his colleagues drawing their wooden knives and surrounding the guards, Xu Qi'an finally let go of the young man in brocade.

The young man pointed his spear and shouted angrily, "Arrest him! I'll cut him into a thousand pieces!"Wang the Head Catcher pretended not to hear and cursed under his breath: "You damn thing, take them all away."

No matter how the young man in brocade tried to explain his identity, Wang the Head Catcher maintained his rough attitude of "I'm illiterate, but I can still rule the world."

Perhaps thinking that this constable was too ignorant and brainless, the young man in brocade stopped arguing and, escorted by the bailiffs, headed towards the county yamen of Changle.

Wang the Head Catcher fell behind and approached Xu Qi'an: "Brother, you've caused a big trouble. That son of a turtle is not an ordinary person. Have you figured out how to solve it?"

Old Wang had a keen eye.

"I, Liu Jianming, didn't have a choice..." Xu Qi'an whispered, "Did you notify my second uncle?"

As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at the county yamen.
