Chapter 1163: Chapter 1163: Opening a Restaurant (Sixth Update)_1 Chapter 1163: Chapter 1163: Opening a Restaurant (Sixth Update)_1 Only listens to the commands of Yang Wenxiao, Emperor Yong’an, and Yang Hao. Can mobilize the Imperial Forest Army and Imperial Guards and has full authority to handle any situation encountered.
According to Qiao Xiaomai, this situation is akin to being the security team captain of Capital City.
“Security? With these powers, you might as well be the Minister of Public Security,” Tong Xingda disagreed with her.
Qiao Xiaomai chuckled, reaching out to tap his forehead with her finger, “Minister of Public Security? The police have a lot more to deal with than you. You’re only responsible for maintaining public security, isn’t that what a security guard does?”
“Your situation, though, is more like that of the Jinyiwei. How does it feel to be an official for the first time?”
Fiddling with the token in his hand, Tong Xingda raised an eyebrow and said, “It’s not great. Sounds impressive, but if anything goes wrong, that’s my responsibility.”
At that, the smile on Qiao Xiaomai’s face was replaced with worry, “Just recently we saw explosives and the Divine Crossbow; surely no one would dare to make trouble now, right?”
“Who knows,” Tong Xingda replied, stashing the token in his chest pocket, “Alright, I have to go patrol with the troops.”
“Go for it,” Qiao Xiaomai patted his shoulder.
Her lips pursed as she once again couldn’t help but wish her space could split in two.
Tong Xingda often did dangerous jobs and needed a treasure box-like personal space to carry tools.
Sigh…
With Tong Xingda busying with official duties, Qiao Xiaomai was left alone in Da’an Palace, idly keeping Yang Wenxiao company in playing Fight the Landlord.
Yang Wenxiao had become hooked on Fight the Landlord, finding it simple to play, and moreover, the name was good, at least better than stacking gold blocks.
In the evening, Ren Zhong returned. He had been tasked with escorting Tong Xingda, the Zhang Family, and Qiao Meipan out of the city and was now back to report.
“Tong Juren’s father clung to a tree in the courtyard, refusing to let go, and Tong Juren’s mother insisted on hitting the wall. I had no choice but to come back for instructions.”
Qiao Xiaomai, “…Hitting the wall for what?”
“They don’t want to leave, claiming they came to Capital City for business. They haven’t stolen or robbed, so why should they be sent back to the village?” Ren Zhong relayed Tong Xingda’s words.
“Pah!” Qiao Xiaomai’s mouth twitched, “Just knock them out and take them away. As long as you don’t harm their lives, do as you please.”
Ren Zhong turned to look at Yang Wenxiao upon hearing this.
Yang Wenxiao was toying with cards in his hands, and casually said, “Listen to Xiaomai.”
Ren Zhong quickly agreed and hurried off.
Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but roll her eyes, tired of dealing with such an outrageous couple.
Yang Wenxiao glanced at her sideways, noticing her expression, and chuckled, “You’re much tougher than your mother. This little matter is nothing.”
Hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai pulled a face, forcing out a fake smile, “You’re right.”
Before bedtime, Tong Xingda returned, and so did Ren Zhong.
Neither of them looked very good.
Just as Ren Zhong was about to knock out Tong Xingda and forcibly take him away, Bai Zhi suddenly appeared, claiming a close friendship with the Zhang Family and wanting to start a restaurant business together. If Ren Zhong dared to lay a hand on them, she would consider it ruining her business, and she would make a big scene.
With no alternative, Ren Zhong went to find Tong Xingda.
Upon Tong Xingda’s arrival, Tong Xingda and the Zhang Family who were previously feeling guilty, straightened their backs and made an even bigger fuss.
To make it look believable, the Zhang Family even rammed into a wall causing bleeding from the head.
In such a scenario, Tong Xingda couldn’t just stand by and watch the Zhang Family bleed, so he had to find a doctor. After all that fuss, it carried on till now.
“You shouldn’t have gone,” Qiao Xiaomai said to Tong Xingda after hearing what happened, unable to hold back her opinion.
“But does Princess Bai actually want to open a small restaurant with your parents?”
