Chapter 1,169: Take someone's money and eliminate their

grass. Remember to make it pay."Lao Er Li couldn't help but laugh and cry. He hugged his niece and kissed her cheek, but suddenly a thought struck him, and his eyes lit up.He didn't have time to put d..."Oh, my fan! This was a fan I had a renowned calligrapher inscribe!" The rich young master immediately cried out in anguish, heartbroken as if he had lost a priceless family heirloom.

His attendants and guards behind him immediately surrounded the several refugees.

"Where are you running to! You're in big trouble, trying to run away!"

"Yes, come with us to the magistrate's office, we must bring them to justice!"

Several refugees were frightened out of their wits. They were considered quite something in the countryside where they usually lived.

Although he didn't commit major crimes, he was still arrogant and domineering in kicking people, snatching bowls of water or porridge.

Now that they were inside the city, every passerby seemed more impressive than them. Naturally, they became intimidated.

Let alone the young master before us, just looking at his demeanor suggests a distinguished background!

Several people knelt directly, begging for mercy and kowtowing incessantly.

"My lord, please spare our lives! We didn't mean to do it."

"Please, honorable sir, have mercy! We won't dare again!"

Unfortunately, this wealthy young master didn't know if he truly cared for the fan or if he was simply feeling disgruntled. He called his guards and servants and had the beggars beaten severely.

The refugees writhed in pain, their cries echoing through the air.

Such a lively scene naturally drew passersby to come and see the commotion.

But no one helped to speak up for him, let alone play peacemaker.

After all, no one wants to cause trouble for a few refugees!

Moreover, the refugees really broke someone's fan!

After a long while, several refugees with bruised faces and swollen noses, and the wealthy young master who was also out of breath, finally left with their attendants and guards.

A few refugees were left crying, but soon a veteran accompanying the group came back and scolded them a few times before leading them to continue fetching water.

The refugees were beaten for no reason and then forced to work. They felt extremely wronged and dejected.

Without saying how they got there inexplicably, let's just say that the wealthy young master led his servant and guards into a secluded back alley. After a while, a boy came over and handed the wealthy young master an ordinary blue cloth pouch.

The wealthy young master pinched it, very satisfied. He chatted with the boy for a few words and then left.

In fact, he wasn't a wealthy young master at all. His servants and guards were all fake, they were just thugs.

Take other people's money, and help them avoid disaster!

The little rascal twirled around and arrived at the Earl's mansion back door in a flash. Once inside, he dashed straight to the kitchen.

Just as Jia Yin had returned, she began to contemplate a trip to the palace to pick up her grandmother and bring some treats for the third princess along the way.

So, she made a dish of cold noodles with sesame sauce.

The most difficult part of making Liangpi is washing the noodles. Once that's done, it's basically just following the steps.

Slice cucumber, cilantro, and garlic. Sprinkle with peanut crumbs, chili oil, sugar, vinegar, and most importantly, sesame paste.

After one bowl, it's truly appetizing and filling.

Of course, it would be even better with a meat-filled steamed bun.

It's a pity that we couldn't eat meat during this period, so we could only make some unleavened flatbreads.

When the little boy came over, Jiayin was putting the cold noodles and toppings into bowls, with the sauce served separately.

"Miss, I'm back to fetch some things for the Fifth Master. Do you have anything you need me to take with me I can deliver it together!"

Jia Yin glanced at him, seeing that he was a runner from the side of Fifth Brother and came from the Relief Bureau, naturally trustworthy.

Then, she laughed and said, “I just made some chilled noodles. I’ll have you bring a few portions over later.”

Having said that, she ordered the maidservant to prepare a bowl of porridge for the boy first and told him to eat it before leaving.

The little boy was delighted, and after thanking them, he sat on the threshold and started eating greedily.

Jia Yin simply made a short greeting and quickly entered the palace.

As the vigil went on, more and more people couldn't hold out. By the afternoon, people began to take leave.

There were quite a few carriages coming and going at the palace gate, causing some congestion.

When Jia Yin finally entered the palace, outside the city walls, Jia An received a food box and whispered to the young boy, "Is everything done"

"All done!" The boy grinned, a smug look on his face. "I beat them so badly they're crawling around! They won't dare to have any bad thoughts again!"

Jia An nodded, a flash of darkness crossing his eyes.

Those few refugees rioting in the camp were bad enough, but to even dare lay a finger on his precious little sister Leaving them alive was mercy itself!

Just then, Li La Er led the Crown Prince back. Li La Er laughed and said, "An Ge'er, has the family sent food"

Jia'an replied, "Yes, Second Uncle. My younger sister went back and made some cold spicy noodles with sesame sauce, just sent them over."

Li Lao Er was both thirsty and hot, very happy. He readily invited the prince to eat together.

The Crown Prince actually agreed right away……

Then, the three sat under the thatched shelter, each with a bowl of cold noodles and a piece of steamed flatbread, eating happily.

Li Lao'er glanced at the bowl in the prince's hand, feeling a bit sorry for it.

If the crown prince doesn't agree, he gets to eat two bowls...

The crown prince caught a glimpse of his regret from the corner of his eye, couldn't help but raise his lips, feeling the cold skin in his hand even more delicious...

In the Kunning Palace, Princess Three and Li Lao Tai were also eating cold noodles.

Although the Third Princess acted like she didn't care, how could she not be heartbroken by her mother's passing

Over the past few days, she hasn't been sleeping well and eating much, and has lost a significant amount of weight.

At this moment, the sour, sweet, spicy and refreshing cold noodles unexpectedly whetted her appetite.

Not only did he finish the entire bowl, but he also added a large flatbread.

Caiyun was overjoyed, she wanted to kowtow to Jiayin in gratitude.

The Third Princess, having eaten her fill and in a good mood, casually asked, “Have you given the cold noodles to the Crown Prince and Father”

Jiayin smiled faintly, "His Royal Highness is outside the city, he should have eaten with my brother and second uncle."

The third princess was taken aback when she heard that the Prince had been mentioned, but there was no mention of her father.

But then he thought of his father emperor and the court's attitude towards the northern expeditionary army...

She sighed inwardly, and quickly changed the subject.

After sitting for a while, Jia Yin took her grandmother out of the palace and back home.

I stood at the palace gate for a while as usual, and finally made it onto the main road, only to be met with sudden commotion ahead.

Once, there was a courier galloping through the streets, waving the banner of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The Northern Expedition Army achieved a great victory, driving the barbarians out of the border!

"The Barbarians have been completely driven out of Tianwu, and the land is now unified!"

The common people on the street were initially frightened by the horses and dodged out of the way. After they understood what was going on, however, they erupted into a boisterous uproar.

"Did you hear that"

"Heard it, heard it! A great victory, a great victory!"

"Ah! Ah! The barbarians have been driven out of the border!"

"The Northern Expedition was victorious, a complete victory!"

Everyone erupted in cheers, disbelief turning into ecstatic joy as they excitedly confirmed with each other.

Those who remembered family feuds cried bitterly.

"Father and mother, I finally avenge you! The bully has been driven out!"

"Woohoo, I can go home!"

We won, we won!

Horses galloped, the crowd cheered wildly, and the entire Xin Du seemed to be boiling over like a pot of hot water, becoming thoroughly lively.

Jiayin and Li Lao Tai were leaning out the car window, equally overjoyed.

"Little Funiu, listen! Listen closely! Did your father and the Marquis win the battle and are coming back!" Li Laotai grasped her granddaughter's hand, her lips trembling with excitement.
