The night he was thrown out of the Hou Mansion, Xiao Yanli didn't cry and sat in the snow all night.
The next day, the gangsters in the West City discovered that the man was back.
There is no one in the 108 squares of Chang'an City that he cannot find, and there is no mouth that he cannot pry open. The gambling house called him Jiu Ye, the brothel gave him a seat, and the watchman nodded when he saw him. Later, he joined the family of the Minister of the Marriage Department and became the laughing stock of the whole city - the son-in-law was born with mud legs.
Until one day, his wife, who was the daughter of a wealthy family, pushed in the door late at night and slapped a dagger in front of him.
"Xiao Jiu," she stared at him, "someone wants to kill me."
He smiled.
"Madam, there is no one in Chang'an City that I can't protect."
