The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Cheng Youning turned around in anger, crossed his arms, and pouted.

Seeing this, Qiao Rong hurriedly coaxed Cheng Youning, "Young Master, don't be angry, and don't be anxious."

Cheng Youning said: "Do you have a solution?"

Qiao Rong said, "When we return to the prefectural governor's mansion, we will complain to the Marquis. No matter how big the head of this government office is, he is no more powerful than the Marquis. The entire Fengying County is under the jurisdiction of the Marquis, and no one dares to disobey the Marquis."

Cheng Youning had never been humiliated like this before. He said angrily, "I must get the money back today."

Qiao Rong said: "Young Master, listen to me, we don't need to rush. As the old saying goes, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

Cheng Youning said, "No, I can't wait for ten years. I have to take revenge now. You wait here for me. I will go and argue with Xu Shixun again. Otherwise, I will not be able to get over this." After saying that, Cheng Youning ran away. He was so fast that he was gone in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Rong shouted anxiously, "Young master, wait for me!" Even though his legs were running like sparks, he couldn't catch up with the man, so he had to get on a carriage to chase him.

Cheng Youning was sweating profusely while running. When he appeared in the lobby again, Xu Shixun was startled: "No, why are you here again, kid? How did you get here? Didn't we send the yamen runners to follow you to find out the situation?"

Cheng Youning said, "You corrupt official, your people are in league with the bad guys. They colluded to trick me, and you are still drinking tea here."

Xu Shixun asked the people around him: "Did the yamen runners go with him?"

The people around Xu Shixun said, "He went there, but he hasn't come back to report yet. How come he's back?"

Xu Shixun also asked Cheng Youning: "Yes, why are you here?"

"Why don't you ask me how I was bullied? You just keep saying useless things, you dog official." Cheng Youning was so angry that he took out the brick he had prepared in advance, raised his hand and threw it out, hitting Xu Shixun on the head.

"You are such a good brat, you dare to hit the county magistrate, someone come and arrest him."

Xu Shixun covered his shattered head and said, "Don't touch him. Let him finish his words."

Xu Shixun asked Cheng Youning again: "Tell me, how did my people collude with the bad guys?"

Cheng Youning said: "You sent two people to me. Do you know that they know the guy who sells buns?"

Xu Shixun said: "They sometimes go on patrol, so it's not surprising that they know each other."

Cheng Youning said: "I knew you would say that."

Xu Shixun said: "How do you know what I said?"

Cheng Youning said: "You are in the same group as them, you are birds of a feather."

Xu Shixun said: "I don't know the bread man."

Cheng Youning said: "What you said is not credible. Those two yamen runners are in cahoots with the man selling buns, and you are in cahoots with the yamen runners, so you are all bad guys." These were all words that Qiao Rong said to him, and he remembered them all.

Xu Shixun said: "If you say so, I really can't defend myself. Tell me how my people colluded with the bun seller."

Cheng Youning said, "When we got to the bun shop, your two yamen runners didn't listen to a word I said, but only listened to the bun seller's one-sided story. He, who cheated me of my money, turned against me, saying that we wanted to eat a free meal without paying. These two people were so indiscriminate. Did you let them go with me just to eat eight buns? You are too mean. If you don't want to help me get the money, you can just say so. Why did you make me run all this way? Who are you putting on an act for?"

Xu Shixun said, "Wait a minute, kid, explain clearly what you mean by eight buns."

Cheng Youning said, "Your two yamen runners received bribes from the bun shop, eight buns and a handful of copper coins, and are now drinking in a tavern."

After hearing this, Xu Shixun stood up and said, "Kid, what you said is true." Xu Shixun knew that such words coming from a child must not be groundless. His people must have accepted the benefit, otherwise the child would not have said it.

Cheng Youning said, "You are far inferior to Mr. Chen. I won't ask you to help me get the money."

Cheng Youning turned around and was about to leave.

Xu Shixun said, "Wait a minute, since I know that your money was defrauded, I will take care of your affairs. My people are negligent in discipline and collude with the boss of the bun shop, so I will also take care of it."

Cheng Youning said: "I don't believe you."

Xu Shixun said: "I will take care of your affairs today. I will go with you immediately, but before I leave, you must tell me who Mr. Chen is."

Cheng Youning said, "Mr. Chen is Chen Gongxiang from Mochun County. I lived in Mochun County for two months and I often went to the streets to buy things. Although the streets are not as lively as yours, I have never seen such bullying of children to cheat money. In this respect, Mr. Chen is much better than you."

Xu Shixun asked: "What is your relationship with Lord Chen?"

Cheng Youning said: "He is my future father-in-law."

"then who are you?"

Cheng Youning thought for a while and said, "I am Cheng Youning, from a humble family."

Xu Shixun said, "Come on, I'll go with you to find the bun seller. If he really cheated you out of your money, I won't let him off easily."

Cheng Youning said, "Let's go."

As soon as he left the county government office, Cheng Youning saw Qiao Rong waiting there. Cheng Youning said, "The head of the government office is asking us for money."

Qiao Rong observed Xu Shixun. Although he seemed to be upright, his head was broken and bleeding. He wondered if he could be a good person.

Qiao Rong took Cheng Youning two steps away and whispered, "Young Master, will he be like those two yamen runners just now, taking the money from the bun seller and then abandoning us on the street?"

Cheng Youning looked back at Xu Shixun and whispered, "If he favors the guy selling buns, I'll break the other side of his head."

"Ah? You broke his head? Young master, you didn't get beaten, did you?" Qiao Rong's hands were rubbing up and down Cheng Youning's body.

Cheng Youning said: "There was no direct confrontation. I hit him on the head with a brick. If they had started fighting, I would have run away long ago."

Qiao Rong said, "Young Master, don't run around next time. I can't catch up with you even if I ride in a carriage."

Xu Shixun, who was standing at the side, heard the two children's mumblings clearly. He suppressed his laughter and said, "Can we go now?"

Cheng Youning turned around and said seriously, "You can go now."

On the way, Xu Shixun asked Cheng Youning: "Do you know where my people are drinking?"

Cheng Youning said: "It's on the same street as the one selling steamed buns. I saw them both go into the pub with my own eyes."

Xu Shixun said, "Just show it to me when we pass by the tavern later."

Cheng Youning smiled and said, "Okay, how are you going to deal with them?"

Xu Shixun said: "You will be punished with a beating, or even expelled. Are you satisfied with this punishment?"

Cheng Youning thought of what Qiao Rong had said to him, and he said to Xu Shixun, "How can I know if you say one thing to my face and do another behind my back?"
