My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Chapter 119: Bustling Street



Chapter 119: Bustling Street

Emperor Jingming and Ye Shengxin went to buy clothes and shoes. They each bought two sets of summer clothes and two sets of autumn clothes. Emperor Jingming did not choose the worst clothes, so they only had fifty coins left when they came out of the clothing store.

Now, under the urging of the yamen runners, the three men each bought a broom whose price had been raised, and all the money they earned today was completely spent.

"Clean carefully. If there is any dirt left, watch your skin!"

"Here, this bluestone brick has to be cleaned and made to be smooth for people to see!"

There was a yamen runner holding a whip every hundred meters on the street. He would swing the whip threateningly from time to time, looking extremely arrogant.

Ministers: ...I really want to roll up my sleeves and beat him up!

Ye Xingxin stared at the yamen runners who were guarding them, muttering in his heart: [No dirt left? And you want to clean it so that it is clean and smooth? Whose bones are you trying to break? ]

The ministers' eyes lit up. Quick, break one quickly to let them vent their anger.

Otherwise it would be so frustrating.

Emperor Jingming, who was sweeping the floor obediently, glanced at Ye Shengxin and looked at the yamen runners.

It would be best if these things that oppress the people could be smashed to pieces.

Zhang Liang was also thinking that Mr. Huang must be among them.

He doesn't even consider whether he has the blessing to let His Majesty clean the streets for him. How can he have the nerve to do that!

"You, after sweeping this side, go over there and clean it up." A yamen runner instructed Ye Shengxin and the other two.

The three of them held their breath and silently headed towards the place the bailiff said.

"Hey, whose donkeys are these? Take them away. If they offend Young Master Huang, don't blame me for killing them!"

The bailiff walked up to the big and small donkeys that were sleeping at the entrance of the alley, and swung the whip in his hand to drive them away, hitting the big donkey's butt.

The big donkey cried out "Ah—ugh" in pain, then turned over and stood up to look at the yamen runner who had disturbed its sleep and attacked it for no reason.

The donkey's nose was snorting angrily and its four hooves were kicking in dissatisfaction.

The little donkey also stood up. Its big brother was being bullied, and it got angry and took the lead in pushing the bailiff out with its head.

Things with bad intentions, stay away!

"what!"

The bailiff was caught off guard and fell to the ground, completely dazed.

"Beast, what are you doing!"

The bailiff reacted and scolded angrily.

The noise here was too loud, so everyone stopped cleaning and looked over to the donkeys.

Several yamen runners holding whips saw their brothers suffering and immediately rushed over.

After seeing the situation clearly, Ye Shengxin and Emperor Jingming felt uneasy and hurried over, fearing that the big donkey would do something bad due to his impulsiveness.

Ye Shengxin's worry was well-founded. Before she reached the donkey, the donkey moved its front hooves and rushed forward, knocking the runner out again.

The accomplices who wanted to help him were hit by their good brothers, and for a moment, screams rang out in unison on the street.

"Want to die?"

The chief yamen runners felt a sharp pain in his butt from the fall, and he stood up and stared at the donkeys with a ferocious expression.

The whip in his hand was about to hit them again.

Emperor Jingming stopped his hand, and Ye Shengxin stood in front of the donkeys.

"What are you going to do?" the chief bailiff glared and questioned.

Ye Xingxin smiled apologetically: "Brother, these two donkeys belong to my family. We didn't take good care of them and made you suffer."

"I'm here to apologize to you all, and I hope you will be magnanimous and not bother with a donkey who knows nothing."

"What if I insist on making a fuss about it?" The head of the yamen runners refused to buy it.

Ye Shengxin smiled and made way.

"Then you must be able to reason with the donkey. Since you are so gifted, I can't stop you."

The donkey's temper is not something that ordinary people can control. Ye Shengxin had already sensed the anxiety of the big and small donkeys.

Knowing that he couldn't hold it down, and thinking of Huang Youwei who was still somewhat useful, he decided not to press it.

So she just moved away, and the donkey, determined to avenge the whip, raised its hooves and rushed towards the yamen runners.

"Oh, get out of here, you beast!"

"Get away from me, stupid ass!"

"Uh-uh-uh..."

The big and small donkeys used their skills, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.

Not only were several yamen runners trampled by the donkey's hooves, but even if they worked together they were unable to do anything to the donkey, which was full of energy.

Some people felt remorseful and hid in the crowd in time.

The remaining three people who were usually arrogant were knocked unconscious by the donkey's hooves one after another.

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the housekeeper of Mayor Huang's family rushed over with people in time.

Thinking of Master Huang's imminent arrival, he was about to order the arrest of the donkey and the man, but Emperor Jingming said indifferently:

"I am Ye Xiaoya. I wonder if the housekeeper has any advice for me?"

The housekeeper's stern expression froze in an instant as he thought of his master's instructions after returning home.

After confirming that the description of his appearance matched that of Emperor Jingming, he immediately bowed and smiled apologetically:

"It turns out to be Mr. Ye. I am so sorry for my disrespect."

Emperor Jingming nodded and asked, "I wonder how the steward plans to deal with these yamen runners who are causing trouble for no reason?"

As soon as he opens his mouth, he puts all the blame on the other party without mercy.

The butler had heard some news on the way here. When asked, he immediately said, "It was these blind people who offended your donkey. I will have them arrested immediately."

As he said this, he waved his hand, and the yamen runners who followed him came forward and slapped the people who had fainted from the pain on the ground one by one to wake them up.

"You, apologize to the two donkeys immediately." The housekeeper ordered them.

Ye Shengxin smiled and said, "Two more are left behind." She raised her hand to point out the location.

The housekeeper glanced around with his triangular eyes and saw the two yamen runners who were pointed out standing in the crowd. They secretly cursed their bad luck in their hearts, but on the surface they had to stand out tremblingly, bow and bend over to apologize to the donkey and the big donkey.

"Uncle Donkey, we are the ones who failed to recognize the great man. Please don't hold it against us."

"Uncle Donkey, I was rude and reckless. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me."

……

The yamen runners who had been so arrogant before were now so humble that the common people who were cleaning the streets together were amazed, and the court officials also breathed a sigh of relief.

The donkey incident seemed to have come to an end.

But the chief of the yamen runners had been arrogant for many years, and the pride in his heart was piled up like a wall. How could he let it go when he was humiliated in front of everyone?

I snorted in my heart, seeking protection from Mayor Huang, right?

Very good, then he wants to see how much protection Mayor Huang can give them!

-

When Huang Chao arrived at the main street of the town in a luxurious carriage, the people around him were very quiet out of fear.

Feeling that he was being treated coldly, he twirled the fan in his fat hand and impatiently lifted the curtain.

Among the crowd of people, the donkeys of both sizes standing alertly stood out.

Huang Chao saw them at a glance, and they looked back sharply.

So, just looking at each other for a second longer in the crowd made each other never forget their crazy faces at that time.

Here's the thing -

The big and small donkeys were brutally retaliated by the head yamen runners and each was stabbed on the buttocks.

So in the solemn silence, he let out a loud roar at the top of his lungs, and with a move of his hooves, he happened to run towards the direction of the Huang Dynasty.

At the same time, the horse that Huang Chao was pulling in front of him slipped, and his body flipped over, causing the carriage behind him to fall to the side.

For a moment, there were constant screams and roars, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

The fat man Huang Chao was hit three times in a row and was knocked out of the car.

His scalp was bleeding and his body was numb. Seeing the situation was critical, he raised his legs to escape.

But his feet slipped and he fell flat on his face.

The big donkey next to it was in great pain, and it was running towards Huang Chao's guards without being stopped, and its strong and powerful hooves kept stepping forward.

With a "crack", he stepped on Huang Chao's chest.

In the brief moment of eye contact, both the man and the donkey were greatly frightened.

"Ah ah ah..."

"Ah-uh-ah..."

Then they each retreated painfully.

"Big donkey, come back!"

"Little donkey, here!"

Ye Shengxin and Emperor Jingming tried to control the two donkeys and keep them away from the crowd.

But after the initial pain and panic, the two donkeys found the culprit who stabbed them with the dagger.

"Ah-uh!"

The two donkeys changed direction in the panicked crowd and headed straight towards the head of the yamen runners.

They ran violently along the way, and many yamen runners who were standing on the bluestone road with knives in their hands were knocked away.
