Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Seeing his useless appearance, Fan Xin said angrily: "The highest standard in our county is ten dishes and one soup. Since Mr. Qiu wants to eat expensive food, of course he has to pay for it himself."

"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"

Fan Xin put on his official uniform and decided to go to the inn in person to get his meal money back.

It wasn't that he was unsophisticated, but that the meal wasn't worth it.

According to historical records, when this man led his army to Bozhou, he learned that Li Chong was defeated and captured, so he cut off the heads of more than a thousand people to pretend to be a military exploit.

For such a person, he would not even pay for a delicacy, let alone a piece of cake.

When Fan Xin arrived at the inn, he heard loud laughter and a woman's begging for mercy from quite a distance away.

Fan Xin stood in the corridor and opened the curtain and took a look inside.

As expected, several stocky generals were sitting at the table laughing.

In front of them, a naked and beautiful woman was pinned down on the table by two soldiers, allowing the man in front of them to vent their anger.

"Didn't you talk about eating? What's going on?"

Seeing that Fan Xin's face was wrong, Yi Cheng said cautiously: "The chief manager said that just drinking is no fun, so he asked the humble officer to invite Xiao Fengxian from Yan Lailou to accompany him for a drink."

"Who would have thought that I would take off Xiaofengxian's skirt while drinking. I saw something bad in my humble position and couldn't go in and try to persuade her, so I was beaten up by them."

Taking one look at the bruises on Yi Cheng's face, Fan Xin was furious.

"Xiao Fengxian has always been a showman but not a person. Not only did she rape a common girl in broad daylight, but she also openly beat the county's Yicheng. It's simply too much!"

"Go, tell Lin Tie to bring all the people in the city. I want to see how shameless Qiu Shenji is today."

"Mingfu, what did you say?" Yi Cheng trembled with fright.

Qiu Shenji's army is stationed not far away. Isn't it asking for death to take the initiative to provoke the opponent?

"Hmph! Why don't you hurry up and go!"

"Hey, I'll go and inform Captain Lin right away."

After Zheng Yicheng left, Fan Xin opened the curtain and walked in.

"The chief manager is really in a good mood. I have gained a lot of experience today.

The laughter stopped suddenly, Qiu Shenji put on his clothes and said displeasedly.

"Who are you, and who asked you to come in without permission?"

Fan Xin glanced at Xiao Fengxian who was staring at him, the anger deep in his eyes flashed away, and he said to Qiu Shenji with a smile.

"Fan Xin, the magistrate of Wushui County, Xiaguan, saw that you are very interested, so he came in to say hello."

"How about it? Fan Lou's delicacies are quite to your liking?"

"Are you the magistrate of Wushui County?" Qiu Shenji frowned and sneered.

"Delicacies from the mountains and sea are naturally delicious. Could it be that Magistrate Fan is planning to give us two more tables?"

"Hahaha……"

Several generals laughed loudly and looked at Fan Xin with mocking eyes. He was just a small county magistrate and he regarded himself as a big deal.

Qiu Shenji put on his clothes while laughing and glanced at Fan Xin casually.

"You came just in time. I will save my time and go look for you later. Remember to prepare the food and fodder for the army later to avoid delaying the military situation. I am asking only you." After saying that, he led his subordinates and walked out of the inn.

However, just as he was about to walk out of the room, Fan Xin's voice sounded.

"Hold on, Chief Steward, have you forgotten something?"

Qiu Shenji stopped and looked back at Fan Xin: "What's the matter?"

Fan Xin took out a bill and said calmly while the generals were watching.

"Since the food is delicious, General Manager, please pay for the meal, which is six copper coins in total."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze. The smile on Qiu Shenji's face gradually solidified, and he pointed at himself in disbelief.

"You, a county magistrate, actually asked me for food money?"

If he hadn't seen the bill with his own eyes, Qiu Shenji would have thought he heard wrongly.

The dignified military commander of Qingpingdao, who wields military power, has countless people trying to curry favor with him in other ways.

As a result, the little magistrate in front of him actually asked himself to pay for the meal.

Wouldn't it make people laugh out loud if it spread out?

Fan Xin smiled slightly: "This county has just experienced the war and is in a state of desperate need. It is really difficult to afford such expensive food and drinks. I hope the general manager will understand."

When Qiu Shenji saw that Fan Xin was determined to make things difficult for him, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and his eyes narrowed.

"I don't know how many court officials have died in the hands of this manager over the years. Aren't you, a seventh-grade man, afraid of death?"

As soon as the words fell, several generals closed the door, slowly drew out their sabers and stared at Fan Xin with cold eyes, as if they would kill at the first command.

Fan Xin seemed to have not seen it and said calmly.

"The general manager doesn't know something. I've always heard that you have the reputation of Qingtian. Before the official came, he specially called the people in the city here to have a look at you."

"How could a high-ranking official like you end up with the reputation of killing an official of the imperial court for a mere meal, don't you think so?"

Qiu Shenji was stunned and winked at his subordinates, who opened the window and took a look.

"General Manager, he is right. Thousands of people have indeed come outside the inn and have already surrounded the door.

Upon hearing these words, Qiu Shenji's expression changed slightly, and then he laughed.

"Well, you, Magistrate Fan, are really tough, and you are not even afraid of the temptation of my supervisor!"

"You're right, I hate people who use public funds for food most in my life."

"These are six copper coins, keep them!"

After patting the six coins on the wine table, Qiu Shenji took a deep look at Fan Xin, turned around and left.

"General Manager, are we going to tolerate it like this?" the subordinates who came to the middle of the courtyard asked angrily.

Qiu Shenji got on his horse and said solemnly: "No one who offends me, Qiu Shenji, will have a good end."

"You guys are going to a place tonight. Isn't Fan Xin somewhat famous? The manager will make him completely disgraced!"

After saying that, Qiu Shenji whipped the horse on the buttocks and walked towards the carriage...

Looking away from the window, Fan Xin breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Fengxian lying on the table.

It is not difficult to see that this encounter had a great impact on her, and she has not recovered until now.

Fan Xin picked up the skirt from the floor and covered her body, sighing.

"These beasts are gone, you get up first and put on your clothes."

Xiao Fengxian's eyes moved to Fan Xin's face, and she suddenly threw herself into his arms, crying loudly.

"Mingfu..."

"I know that you have been wronged, but now is not the time for revenge. Just wait patiently. One day, I will definitely seek justice for you today."

I don't know if his words had an effect, or if Xiao Fengxian thought about it, she raised her head and looked at Fan Xindao after hearing this.

"Mingfu, do you mean what you say?"

Fan Xin nodded solemnly: "A man must do what he says, and I will do what I say!"

Xiao Fengxian looked at Fan Xin blankly for a while and said seriously.

"This little girl has never believed in anyone in her life, but I believe in your words!"
