Chapter 205 What? The director of the orphanage is you?
"Please spare my life, sir. Here is the girl's purse. I haven't touched a penny. Please take a look."
"Please forgive my brother Li Jiu..."
The man named Xiao Si kowtowed his head "bang bang".
"Xiao Si, don't beg him! They are all the same as officials, they don't care about the lives of the people, why bother to beg him?"
"I was caught today because I was not as skilled as others. I am just dead. I will be a hero again in 18 years!"
"Haha, what do I have to fear?"
Li Jiu laughed loudly, looking as if he was ready to die.
"Hmm... Not bad, he's quite a man."
"It's just that you, the Li Jiu Sect, usually rob the rich and give to the poor."
"Today, they kidnapped a woman. What do you want to do?"
Jiang Xingguo pointed his sword at Li Jiu, showing no intention of backing down.
"No, no, your Excellency has misunderstood!"
Seeing this, Xiao Si waved his hands hurriedly.
"Brother Nine abducted a woman from the countryside because he probably thought she was pretty and kind-looking."
"Capturing her back was just to make her... to make her..."
Xiao Si hesitated and turned his head to look at Li Jiu's neck which was already oozing blood. He immediately gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
"Brother Nine kidnapped her to ask her to help take care of those helpless children, not to satisfy his own desires or do anything illegal!"
"Although we, the Li Jiumen, are notorious, we have our bottom line and pride!"
Xiao Si held his head high, looking proud.
"Come on, no matter what the reason is, you kidnapped me, did you ask me what I think?"
"Even if I am a concubine of a prince or noble, does that mean my life is no longer a life? Can my wishes be ignored?"
"Why...you want to be heroes who rob the rich and give to the poor?"
"Haha, but which hero in the martial arts world would extend his hand to an innocent woman?"
“You’re being sexist!”
Zuo Yexuan stepped forward and took the purse that Xiao Si handed over respectfully, but she still felt a little unsatisfied and could not help but put her hands on her hips and curse.
"But...aren't concubines just objects? They are just property of rich families."
"Do I need to ask for their opinions if I want to rob their property?"
The man named Xiao Si heard this and asked with a confused look on his face.
Even Li Jiu, who had a sword across his neck, showed the same confusion.
"An item...? Haha!" Zuo Yexuan was so angry that she laughed.
She took a step forward, squatted directly in front of the man named Xiao Si, and angrily grabbed the man's collar with her right hand.
"The concubines you call an object, some of them were once good girls, and some were daughters of officials whose families were confiscated and their families were exterminated. Just because they became concubines, are they no longer human beings in your eyes?"
Zuo Yexuan was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She waved her left hand, grabbed Li Jiu in the same way, and scolded him harshly.
"If this concubine is your sister, your daughter, do you also think they are just an object?"
Zuo Yexuan cursed angrily and beat the two of them up.
When Zuo Yexuan rushed forward, Jiang Xingguo was worried about hurting her, so he had already retracted his sword.
At this moment, seeing her arguing with someone with a red face, the gloom in his heart was swept away and he couldn't suppress a smile on his face.
That’s great, that’s great.
I haven't seen her so energetic in many years.
……
"I'm sorry, we were wrong." After a quarrel, Xiao Si apologized with a guilty look on his face.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I ignored your feelings."
Li Jiu's eyes flickered, and he seemed to understand something, but he vaguely realized that he was wrong, so he apologized sincerely.
"Yeah, not bad, not bad. It's good to know you're wrong."
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."
Zuo Yexuan took a deep breath and said with a slight smile on her lips.
"Let's go. Since you kidnapped me so that I can take care of those helpless children, then take me to see those children."
Zuo Yexuan stood up and clapped her hands.
"You, what do you want to do?" Upon hearing this, Li Jiu immediately looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
"I am the one who kidnapped you, and I am also the one who did the wrong thing!"
"If anything comes to me, they are just some poor kids!"
Li Jiu's face turned red with excitement.
"If you feel that I have damaged your reputation before, I can promise to marry you!"
"No matter what, you can't vent your anger on those innocent children!"
Li Jiu pleaded.
"..." Zuo Yexuan.
"Shut up! Who asked you to marry me?"
Zuo Yexuan was almost so angry that she had a myocardial infarction.
"I want to see the children you mentioned. Now the emperor has ordered the establishment of an orphanage."
"Those children you mentioned can be admitted together if they meet the requirements."
"From now on, the royal family will take care of your three meals a day and four seasons a year. You don't have to do such petty theft."
Zuo Yexuan held her forehead with one hand and explained with a look of despair on her face.
"What? Are you serious?!"
Li Jiu and Xiao Si's eyes lit up when they heard this.
"I, we came here this time to find out the truth about the Royal Orphanage." Xiao Si explained excitedly.
"Prince Gong also threatened to provide financial support to these homeless children before, but... you saw the final result."
"Plus, the former Jingzhao Yin Li Zhong aided and abetted the tyrant, so the nine of us brothers have long been disillusioned with these officials."
"Hehe... I just can't wait to show off my skills when there are so many people around, hahaha."
"Looking around, I see that I am the most well-dressed among the crowd. As the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed. Hehehehe."
Li Jiu smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head.
"You have a lot of principles!"
Zuo Yexuan punched Li Jiu, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go!"
So the group of people, who were on the verge of a fight, left in a mighty manner.
Finally, there was Gao Zhengqing who arrived slowly, bringing with him a group of experts from the Jingzhao Yin government office.
"Why are you following us?"
Li Jiu led the way, and Zuo Yexuan and others followed closely.
Suddenly, she turned her head and stared at Jiang Xingguo in surprise.
When Jiang Xingguo saw that she noticed him, he quickly straightened his wrinkled hem and smiled at her gently.
Zuo Yexuan: Maduo, this guy is really a monster...
"Didn't the girl say before that she wanted to go and see those helpless children? She said that if they meet the requirements, they can be incorporated into the orphanage?"
Jiang Xingguo looked at her with a burning smile.
"In that case, I, the newly appointed director of the orphanage, should go and take a look, don't you think?"
Jiang Xingguo smiled calmly.
Meeting that burning gaze, Zuo Yexuan couldn't help but look away.
But when Zuo Yexuan heard Jiang Xingguo say that he was the newly appointed director of the orphanage, her eyes instantly fixed on him.
"What? You're the director of the orphanage?"
Zuo Yexuan’s eyes widened into a look of disbelief.
"Yes, here is the imperial edict as evidence."
"If you don't believe it, you can take a look."
Jiang Xingguo looked at her with a smile.
"No, no need..."
Zuo Yexuan waved her hands dejectedly.
But in his heart he gnashed his teeth in anger.
Rebellious son! No one knows his mother better than his son.
It must have been that rebellious son who predicted her prediction.
Ahhhhh!
