I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 56: Professionals who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers! (Please subscribe and vote for me)
It was almost dusk, and the afterglow fell on the imperial capital's prestigious district, covering the area with a golden veil.

Lin Yue'e was wearing a tight outfit, with a sword hanging around her waist, and she walked with firm steps through this solemn street.

This neighborhood is completely different from other places. The walls are so high that they seem to be able to isolate the noise and disturbance of the outside world.

A majestic plaque is hung at the gate, engraved with the prominent family name, highlighting the extraordinary status of this place.

Outside some mansion gates, powerful guards held spears in hand and patrolled the surroundings with sharp eyes, not allowing any villains to approach.

Lin Yue'e walked on this street, feeling filled with emotion.

She looked at those towering mansions and thought to herself: In this imperial capital where every inch of land is valuable, with my meager salary, when will I be able to afford a house of my own?
Although the salary in the imperial capital is much higher than other places, for an ordinary constable like her, it is nothing but a pipe dream to settle down in this area.

If you want to buy, you can buy somewhere outside the sixth ring road of the capital.

But those places are far away from the workplace and housing is hard to find.

It would be better to save some money and return to my hometown to live there in my old age.

There are familiar mountains and rivers, friendly neighbors, and her childhood memories and dreams.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue'e patted her face lightly and murmured in her heart: Lin Yue'e, you have only been working for a few days and haven't even received your first month's salary, and you're already thinking about buying a house!
If I don't do my job well, how can I be worthy of your Majesty's cultivation?

The royal envoy must have some ulterior motive. If we find out the truth, we might be able to contribute to the stability of this area.

Although reality is cruel, we can still hold on to our dreams.

Now, she has to work overtime to finish her work.

But sometimes, life doesn't always go so smoothly.

Just as they arrived near the place where Attard was arrested and Lin Yue'e was about to investigate the case in depth, a burst of noise broke the silence around them.

She frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a drunken figure staggering towards her with a few of his men.

That was none other than Xu Zifeng, the prince of a vassal state. His clothes were disheveled and his hair was messy. He had obviously just come out of a brothel. His steps were unsteady and his eyes were dazed.

If you are next to him, you can smell the mixed scent of rouge and powder.

Lin Yue'e's heart sank. Ever since she became the head of the police force, Xu Zifeng had been causing her a lot of trouble.

He would tease her every time he went on patrol, and even dared to go to the government office to cause trouble, which made her very annoyed.

I thought I could avoid this trouble today, but I didn't expect to encounter it here again.

When Xu Zifeng saw Lin Yue'e, his eyes suddenly lit up and a lewd smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You see, fate is so wonderful. Captain Lin, you just got off work, right? How about going to my house for a drink?"

Xu Zifeng was very courageous. Although his words seemed like a negotiation, he was actually relying on his status and position to forcibly take Lin Yue'e away.

Lin Yue'e looked at Xu Zifeng who was getting closer and closer, gritted her teeth and glared at him. When she was about to dodge, she saw a figure suddenly blocking her way.

He was a son of a great noble family, named Xue Wu.

He fell in love with Lin Yue'e at first sight. How could he tolerate his sweetheart being bullied like this?
He had just returned from get off work today and happened to see his sweetheart being teased, so he brought his subordinates to help out.

Lin Yue'e had a good impression of Xue Wu. At least Xue Wu was a relatively upright person, had a weaving business in the imperial capital, and his family conditions were also there.

He is the son of a noble family with a strict family tradition.

At least among those who pursued her, compared to scumbags like Xu Zifeng, she was already very outstanding. In Xue Wu's opinion, Lin Yue'e was very cold and he could never find a chance to be alone with Lin Yue'e.

He is a bit honest and doesn't use any fancy pursuit methods. Every time he talks to Lin Yue'e, he scratches the back of his head unconsciously.

But Xue Wu was very happy today, and he thanked Xu Zifeng for giving him this opportunity to "save the beauty".

As long as he could deal with Xu Zifeng, this playboy, Lin Yue'e would definitely give him a chance to eat.

Thinking of this, Xue Wu angrily shouted at Xu Zifeng: "Xu Zifeng, as the prince of a vassal king, you should abide by the law and set an example for the people. However, you are acting like a tyrant here and teasing the officials. You are simply ignoring the law and looking down on everyone!"

Hearing this, Xu Zifeng sneered. He relied on his status and position to scold fearlessly: "I flirted with you, so what? Even if your father came, he couldn't control me. Who are you, Xue Wu? In this imperial capital, there is nothing that I, Xu Zifeng, dare not do!"

It was obvious that he was disturbed and very unhappy.

"Please be careful with your attitude when you speak. You can talk about me, but don't talk about my family."

"Oh my, oh my, didn't your useless father teach you not to come out and yell if you don't have the ability?"

These words were like a sharp knife, deeply hurting Xue Wu's heart.

He has admired his father since he was young, so how could he tolerate such an insult from Xu Zifeng?

It can be said that Xu Zifeng hit his sore spot precisely.

"You!" Xue Wu was so angry that his face turned blue. He could no longer bear it and decided to teach Xu Zifeng a lesson.

At his command, the men behind him rushed towards Xu Zifeng and his men like wild horses.

Xu Zifeng was not willing to be outdone, and his lackeys were all carefully selected masters, and the two sides immediately fell into a melee.

Fists and kicks flew, weapons clashed, and for a moment, the street was filled with shouts and the crisp sound of metal colliding.

Lin Yue'e stood aside, watching this sudden battle, feeling mixed emotions.

She was grateful for Xue Wu's help, but also worried that this battle would bring even greater trouble.

She was just a small official, and the one who attacked her was the prince of a vassal king, and the other was the eldest son of a great nobleman, neither of whom she could afford to offend.

The most important thing is that this is her work area. She should stop the fight, but the situation is out of control.

If this matter were to reach the ears of the governor and the chief constable in the yamen tomorrow, she, as the chief constable, would be criticized again, which would really make her feel overwhelmed.

In front of Lin Yue'e, the battle between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage.

Although Xue Wu is old, he is extremely powerful, and the momentum he exudes is astonishing, several times that of Xu Zifeng.

When performing the artery stimulation technique, the energy fluctuations were even more terrifying.

However, Xu Zifeng is a person who is pretending to be a pig but actually eating the tiger. Don't be fooled by his current behavior, he is actually a very capable person.

Many people may not know that Xu Zifeng's father is a vassal king with a large number of troops. He has been the bravest among the three armies since he was a child, and even has reached the terrifying strength of the middle stage of the Six Harmonies Realm.

Coupled with his natural supernatural powers, outstanding talent, and powerful luck, challenging opponents of higher levels is no problem at all.

The late emperor was afraid of Prince Zhennan, so he sent his son to the imperial capital as a hostage.
