When Wei Zixian walked out of the restaurant with the wooden box as if he had found a treasure, he saw twenty to thirty bailiffs from Yingtian Prefecture slowly walking towards him.
Behind those bailiffs stood the arrogant Hu Wen 'an.
"We received a report from Young Master Hu that the Hu Residence lost a piece of top-grade ambergris. Please follow us back to the yamen.”
The leading constable looked at Wei Zixian with a serious expression. At the same time, his right hand gripped the hilt of his saber, ready to use violent means to forcefully escort Wei Zixian back if he refused at any time!
"Hahaha, how about it? I told you you couldn't take it back!!!”
"Constable Chen, he stole our family's top-grade ambergris. Capture him immediately and interrogate him carefully. I suspect that he has also stolen other things from my family!!!”
Hu Wenan laughed wildly. He folded his fan and pointed at Wei Zixian. He looked at Constable Chen and ordered.
"Sir, you'd better not make things difficult for us!”
Seeing Wei Zixian frown slightly and not obey, Constable Chen took two steps closer and said coldly.
However, before Wei Zixian could speak, the other party approached.
Guards wearing light armor and wielding unsheathed sabers immediately jumped out from the surroundings and firmly protected Wei Zixian in the middle.
As expected, the feeling from before was not an illusion. There was indeed someone following me.
Wei Zixian looked at the guards who were protecting him, and a smile appeared on his face.
When he went out earlier, he felt that someone was following him.
However, the other party had hidden it very well. He only had a vague feeling that it was true, but he was not sure.
It seemed that these people were left behind by Zhu Biao and the others.
He knew that ever since he said the words 'dragon slaying skill', his whereabouts might not be restricted, but he was definitely being monitored.
Of course, to some extent, this surveillance was actually a form of protection. It depended on whether they would use it.
This was also one of the reasons why Wei Zixian dared to offend Hu Wenan.
Hu Wenan was stunned when he saw this scene, but he was overjoyed.
"Good, there are actually armored warriors!!!”
"Arrester Chen, I seriously suspect that the other party is up to no good!!!”
"Quickly take him down! Just be careful not to cut my ambergris!!!”
Hu Wenan pushed Constable Chen in front of him.
Looking at the constable who was staggering towards Wei Zixian, the guard in front of Wei Zixian immediately slashed down mercilessly.
Clang!
Sparks flashed and Constable Chen took a few steps back. He gasped. There was a half-foot-long wound on his shoulder.
This was all thanks to him dodging and deflecting the force in time. Otherwise, that slash just now would have been enough to kill him on the spot!
Your mother's Hu Wen 'an! You almost killed me!
Constable Chen covered the wound on his shoulder with one hand and turned his head slightly to look at Hu Wenan with resentment.
He had been pushed from behind by Hu Wenan, causing him to fall forward before he could even stand properly.
If he had pounced forward normally, even if he could not dodge the knife, he would at least not have been injured.
However, although he was resentful, he knew that Hu Wenan was someone he could not afford to offend.
If he offended Hu Wen 'an, not only would he be imprisoned, but his family would also be imprisoned.
Thinking of this, Arrester Chen immediately shouted at Wei Zixian and the others,"
"Attacking the magistrate? Are you trying to rebel?!!”
The guard in front of Wei Zixian had a cold expression. He held a saber in one hand and took out a token with the other.
"Under the orders of His Highness the King of Qin, protect Scholar Yan!!!”
Then, the guards who were protecting Wei Zixian in the middle also took out a token and said,
"Under the orders of Prince Jin, protect Scholar Yan!!!”
"Under the orders of His Highness the King of Yan, protect Scholar Yan!!!”
"Under the orders of Prince Zhou, protect Scholar Yan!!!”
"Under the orders of King Chu, protect Scholar Yan!!!”
"We are here on the orders of His Highness King Qi to protect Scholar Yan!!!”
On the street, regardless of whether it was the group of big merchants who had just come out of the restaurant to see the situation.
Constable Chen, the bailiff of Yingtian Prefecture, Hu Wen 'an, the son of the current Prime Minister, and other bystanders all had dull expressions.
What did they see?
A total of six Prince's Gold Tokens!
Other than the Crown Prince, the six princes of Great Ming who had been conferred the title of dukedom were all here!!!
It was obvious that these armored guards holding the prince's golden token were the personal guards of the princes, and only the personal guards of the princes could wear armor openly.
And now, these armored guards were obviously under the orders of the princes to protect the other party!
But the question was, who exactly was the other party?!!
And what status did he have that made the six princes send their own guards to protect him?!!
Whether it was the Crown Prince, whose status was above the other princes, or the other princes who had yet to be crowned kings, they did not seem to have such treatment, right?!!
Because no matter if it was the former or the latter, it was not necessary!
Besides the identity of a prince, who else was worthy of such a lineup of guards?!!
The guards that appeared beside Wei Zixian were actually the Prince guards that the princes had sent to spy on Wei Zixian.
Later on, when the princes left with the Crown Prince, their minds were filled with thoughts of the future imperial family's salary crushing the Great Ming Dynasty, so they forgot to call him back.
In addition, these guards also had the identity of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. They were ordered by the Embroidered Uniform Guards Commander Mao Xiang to protect Wei Zixian as if he was protecting the princes.
Therefore, when Wei Zixian was in danger, he jumped out to protect Wei Zixian at the first moment.
At the same time, there were also five Embroidered Uniform Guards. They had already quickly mobilized other Embroidered Uniform Guards from five different directions to assist the guards.
After all, Mao Xiang remembered clearly that Zhu Yuanzhang had given him an order to not allow anyone to harm Wei Zixian.
"Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!!!”
All the Prince's guards shouted in unison. Not far away, more Embroidered Uniform Guards were joining in.
In just a short moment, hundreds of Embroidered Uniform Guards, who were the Prince's guards, had gathered around Wei Zixian.
