Chapter 26: Being Schemed Against by Colleagues

  Only after finishing speaking did he realize that his words were very inappropriate, and his face turned even redder. Then he saw Jiang Feng turn around with a sly smile on his face, saying in a strange tone:

  "Let's talk with the door closed, no rush."

  It wasn't until they sat down at the dinner table that Jiang Feng realized why the girl didn't leave. The Su sisters had been drifting in Beijing for a long time, experiencing many dangers. The two girls, especially the two very pretty little girls, relied on petty theft to survive every day, and it was as if they were living among beasts.

  A slight mistake would be irreparable, and after the two were caught back, Su Guan Yue was already somewhat desperate. However, he never expected that this Jin Yiwei with a ferocious appearance (actually due to his thick beard) was also anxious, but not a bad person.

  Moreover, nothing was done to know those moments, Jiang Feng was so strong that Su Guan Yue, a young girl, could not resist. The next morning, he disappeared without a trace, but left her 150 taels of silver, which can be used by an average family for nearly fifteen years.

  That morning, Su Guan Yue stayed in Jiang Feng's house for a whole day, and finally decided to stay here. The reason was simple: Jiang Feng didn't seem like a bad person.

  As he listened to Su Guan Yue's words, Jiang Feng's forehead gradually broke out in sweat. The standard for a good person in the Ming dynasty was actually so low, which made Jiang Feng feel ashamed. He clearly remembered how everyone in modern times evaluated him:

  "Damn it, Jiangfeng of XX wine house, I know he's a bastard!"

  He simply ate a few mouthfuls, and Jiang Feng felt his body was extremely exhausted, without even having the energy to show off his culinary skills, nor did he notice the inexplicable expectation in Su Guan Yue's eyes. He didn't even change clothes, and directly fell onto the kang, fast asleep.

  The next morning, Jiang Feng woke up suddenly due to his biological clock. As soon as he opened his eyes, his nose almost bled. Next to him, Su Guan Yue was sleeping soundly, with one arm exposed, soft and pink. From this angle, a red bellyband could be seen inside, and the newly peeled chicken head was faintly visible.

  The vigorous Jiang Feng immediately had a reaction all over his body, but he knew that now was not the time to be anxious about such things, and forcibly restrained his own desire, getting up from the ground.

  His body moved and Su Guan Yue, who was sleeping beside him, was suddenly awakened. She propped herself up with her hands, completely disregarding the fact that her spring light was exposed, and asked Jiang Feng with sleepy eyes:

  "Brother Jiang, you're leaving so early?"

  Jiang Feng strained his neck to one side, but the small apron could hardly conceal the turbulent waves. The scene was too enticing. Jiang Feng put on his boots while holding the note the girl had given him last night, and stiffly said:

  "Don't worry, you sleep first, you sleep first."

  After finishing speaking, he hastily walked out of the house. Of course, if it's said to be running away, then this action would be more aptly described. Watching Jiang Feng roll and crawl out of the house, Su Guan Yue let out a sigh, lay down again, stretched out his arms to hold the little girl Su Guan Xue who was sleeping soundly beside him, and softly said:

  "Watching the snow, I told my sister, has my sister become less pretty?"

  This time Jiang Feng suddenly discovered that the vow he made when he first came to this Ming Dynasty, to bully men and tyrannize women, was at least ineffective on Su Guan Yue.

  However, he couldn't afford to worry about these things. Although the leave application was just a formality, if someone were to catch him in a lie, they could still ask for his punishment. It wasn't that Jiang Feng was familiar with the rules of the Brocade Guards, but rather it had always been this way since ancient times - the smaller the detail, the easier it was for people to grasp and turn into a big deal.

  Rushing into the courtyard, more than a dozen Jin Yiwei city patrol officers who were loudly chatting and laughing saw Jiang Feng hastily rushing in and were all startled. At the time when they were beating up Ma Jia brothers, these people may not have seen it, but when they were beating Zhang Liang, they had personally witnessed it.

  Jiang Feng couldn't avoid this sudden change, but he also noticed a strange phenomenon. Although these Jin Yiwei were all hiding far away, their eyes were filled with a schadenfreude expression when looking at him. Only that rough and burly Zhang Liang was there with a gloomy face, not daring to speak up.

  The Ma brothers hid behind the crowd, where some provocative laughter was heard.

  Today, Xiao Qi "Chicken Leg" came again. His expression was extremely complex, awkward and fearful all at once. When he saw Jiang Feng come in, he immediately stood up from the long bench, smiled and greeted him with a bow:

  "Brother Jiang, long time no see, you're looking quite well!"

  Everyone else was a low-ranking official asking their superiors for peace and well-being, but here it had completely turned around. When things go against the norm, they become abnormal. Jiang Feng didn't respond to the conversation, instead stretching out his hand to slap down the notice of his leave on the table, saying in a coarse voice:

  "End of holiday!"

  Ji Xiaoqi was choked to death by this straightforward sentence, but knowing that he couldn't afford to offend the fierce man in front of him, he quickly picked up his pen and cancelled his vacation. He wanted to say something, but didn't dare, stuttering and stammering. Jiang Feng hated people who were hesitant and indecisive the most, so he slammed his fist on the table and shouted at "Chicken Leg":

  "If you have something to say, then say it, don't try to scare Grandpa to death."

  Ji Xiaoqi shivered and hastily said:

  "There's a vacancy for a guard at the Liu family residence by the South Gate, and they asked us to select someone to fill it. The brothers below all said you're suitable, so I reported your name...the Town Patrol Office also approved..."

  Jiang Feng was taken aback, and it wasn't until a moment later that he realized why the other person was so tense. The lowest-ranking Jin Yiwei soldiers relied on their military pay to make a living, and they all had their own ways of making ends meet. For example, these street patrolmen would extort money from the shops within their patrol area. After all, the Jin Yiwei, Shuntian Prefecture, and Wucheng Bingsi were all organizations that merchants had to curry favor with, and this was considered a lucrative position.

  However, according to the rules, for officials above the fifth rank in Beijing, there must be a Jin Yiwei guard in their household as a bodyguard, but in reality it is an investigator. But how can a small Jin Yiwei offend an official above the fifth rank?

  So this is the standard poor and miserable thing that isn't worth the effort
