The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang openly defended the Li family. Yang Xian was furious and his eyes became even colder.

Li Shouhua was a little worried. With her intelligence, she had already guessed Yang Xian's identity from their conversation.

"Sir Wang, you are so brave. You are just an eighth-rank official, but you dare to interfere in Yang Xian's affairs. Is it Kaifeng Prefecture that gives you the courage?"

Yang Xian stared at Wang Gang with cold eyes. If looks could kill, Wang Gang would have been cut into pieces long ago.

Wang Gang was not afraid and said calmly: "Mr. Yang, what you said is serious. As the left army inspector of Kaifeng Prefecture, I naturally have the responsibility to protect the people and the country.

If you feel that what I did was inappropriate, you can report it to my superior, Lord Shen Huizhao, and I believe he will handle it impartially."

Wang Gang deliberately emphasized the four words "handle impartially".

As a famous playboy in Bianjing City, Yang Xian naturally knew who Shen Huizhao was. He was truly an impartial judge.

Not to mention that he was the official's brother-in-law, even if his own uncle had committed a crime, Shen Huizhao would dare to arrest and put him in jail.

Shen Tiemian's reputation was earned by sending many powerful people to jail and bringing criminals to justice.

As for the Yang Jiulang incident, after all, he was the one who molested a decent woman first. If this really gets to Shen Huizhao, I'm afraid no one will end up well.

If the news reaches the ears of the emperor, it might really affect his sister's favor.

Yang Xian hesitated for a moment.

Wang Gang was very good at observing people's expressions and words, so he naturally noticed that Yang Xian was backing down. He stopped forcing him and instead took the initiative to give him a way out.

"Mr. Yang, I will host a banquet at Panlou tomorrow. I would like to invite you and Yang Jiulang to come. I hope you can honor me."

Yang Xian narrowed his eyes and said to Wang Gang: "I am really curious, how is the girl from the Li family so beautiful that you, Lord Wang, would protect her to this extent?"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "My mother and the lady from the Li family are close friends. As a son, I naturally cannot disobey my mother's orders."

Yang Xian suddenly realized that it was Wang Kang who asked Wang Gang to help the Li family.

"In that case, I will give you, Lord Wang, a favor." Yang Xian snorted coldly, glanced at Li Shouhua who was hiding behind Wang Gang, and said:
"Madam Li, you are lucky to have found a good backer, but there are many rivers in Bianjing City and the water is very deep. Be careful not to drown."

After saying that, Yang Xian turned and left. Wang Gang kept smiling and watched him go.

"I will be waiting for Mr. Yang in Panlou tomorrow."

Yang Xian did not answer, but he quickened his pace, as if he did not care about the banquet at all.

After everyone left, Li Shouhua let out a deep breath, and finally let go of his worries.

Wang Gang sent his men away, asked Li Shouhua to step aside, and said: "Go back and tell your fifth sister not to go out recently."

Li Shouhua wore a veil and bowed to Wang Gang, saying, "Thank you for your help, Lord Wang. The Li family owes you another big favor."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "Although Yang Xian has a sister who is a beauty in the palace, she is arrogant and has not done many evil deeds, so you don't have to worry too much about her revenge.

On the contrary, Yang Jiulang is a scoundrel who will take revenge for any slight. I asked your fifth sister to be on guard against him."

Li Shouhua asked seriously: "How did Lord Wang know that my younger sister had offended the Yang family?"

Wang Gang said: "Mr. Yang has been looking for someone all over the country these days, and the news has spread to Kaifeng Prefecture, so I naturally know about it."

When Li Shouhua heard this, her beautiful eyes moved, but were blocked by the veil.

"Master Wang, are you worried about me, so you came here specially?"

"That's not intentional. Recently, a group of daring robbers appeared in the city. They specialize in robbing young girls, extorting money, and then killing them to silence them." Wang Gang sighed:
"Lord Shen asked me to solve the case as quickly as possible, so I led people to patrol the city to look for clues, and I happened to see you and Yang Xian clashing."

Li Shouhua said with a slight disappointment: "So that's how it is!" Wang Gang reminded: "You should also be careful. Don't go out if you can. The robbers are very cruel. Any girl who falls into their hands will be tortured beyond recognition, and then..."

Suddenly realizing that Li Shouhua was a girl, Wang Gang stopped talking.

"In short, be careful recently. Even if you want to go out, it's best to go with a group."

Li Shouhua nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang, for reminding me. I will tell my sisters when I get back."

Wang Gang said: "Let me take you back!"

Li Shouhua said shyly: "Will it interfere with your business?"

"It's okay. I want to go to the commercial street for inspection too." Wang Gang made a gesture of invitation.

Li Shouhua hesitated for a second, then lifted her jade feet and walked forward.

Wang Gang brought people from Kaifeng Prefecture and sent Li Shouhua back to Li's Teahouse before leaving.

Soon the other members of the Li family came back one after another. When Li Leshan returned home, Li Shouhua gathered all the sisters and told them about Yang Xian.

"I didn't expect that the hooligans I beat up that day were actually relatives of the royal family." Li Leshan said secretly with fear.

"Fifth sister, I have told you many times that there are many powerful people in Bianjing City, and we cannot afford to offend them. You must be careful in your actions." Li Shouhua said earnestly.

"But the other party teased me, I can't just not resist!" Li Leshan said unconvinced.

"I'm not asking you not to resist, but you don't have to hit anyone!" Li Shouhua sighed, "You need to control your temper. When you get married in the future, be careful that your in-laws will dislike you."

It would have been better if Li Shouhua didn't mention getting married. Instead, this mention aroused Li Leshan's jealousy.

"Sister, you have found a good man like Lord Wang, so of course it's easy for you to talk!" Li Leshan said sourly: "We don't have Lord Wang to protect us outside, so we can only find ways to protect ourselves."

"Xiao Wu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Sanniang Li Kangning frowned.

"Fifth sister, what you said is too much. Big sister also cares about you." Second mother Fuhui also pulled Li Leshan aside to teach her a lesson.

Li Leshan actually regretted what she said as soon as she said it. The five sisters had been through many ups and downs, and had always helped each other and had a deep bond. She didn't know what had happened to her recently.

"Sister, I know I was wrong." Li Leshan lowered his head guiltily.

Li Shouhua actually did not blame his sister. He knew that she was the youngest, had little experience, and spoke her mind, but had no bad intentions.

Secondly, Li Shouhua had actually guessed what the fifth sister was thinking.

"Xiao Wu, there is no chance for me and Lord Wang. The Wang family will not let a widow into the family." Li Shouhua said: "And Lord Wang is not really attracted to me. He is just using me as an excuse to delay his marriage."

"Ah!" Li Kangning said in surprise: "But I think that old lady Wang likes you very much, big sister!"

Li Shouhua smiled and said, "Old Madam Wang is indeed interested in marrying my mother. I suggest that we choose one of the four or five children and then discuss the marriage with the Wang family."
When Si Niang Li Haode heard this, she immediately said, "I don't want to marry Lord Wang."

Second Mother Fuhui was puzzled and asked: "Why? We can marry into the Wang family, but we are marrying up, why don't you want to?"

Si Niang Haode raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Wu Mei, and said: "Anyway, I don't want to marry Lord Wang."

All along, sisters Li Haode and Li Leshan have been the most quarrelsome and would fight whenever they met, but they also have the best relationship. Among the five sisters, except Li Shouhua, only Li Haode could see that the fifth sister liked Wang Gang, so she naturally would not snatch him away.

"Then Xiaowu will have to get married." Li Shouhua said with a smile.

"Big sister." Li Leshan blushed and lowered her head silently!

Now everyone knows what she is thinking! (End of this chapter)
