Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy

Chapter 120: The Marquis of Loyalty Takes Action

The carriage stopped suddenly and Yu Jingxuan was almost thrown out. Fortunately, he grabbed the wall of the carriage in time. However, he was old after all, and he was still thrown to the ground and his eyes went black.

"What's the matter!"

"Master, I'll take care of it right away!"

Immediately, a servant came forward and trotted over to help the old man up.

But the old man just lay down on the ground, covered his face with his hands, rolled on the ground and screamed, seemingly in great pain.

"Father, father, I'll take you to the clinic. Can you let us go to court first?" The servant spoke very politely, looking very gentlemanly and polite.

Unfortunately, despite his courtesy, he did not meet anyone who knew what was happening. On the contrary, the old man howled even louder.

The servant had no choice but to look back. Immediately, the accompanying guards came out and prepared to use a hard approach if soft tactics didn't work.

But just as the guards walked up and had not yet forcibly pulled the old man away, they picked out three burly men from the side.

"What do you want to do? You rode your horses in the street and whipped my father like this. We farmers don't want to blame you, but we didn't expect you to use violence without even saying a second word. We can't stand it, we must give you an explanation!"

When these three people jumped out, the servant knew that something bad was going to happen.

Just now, when the old man was beaten, the three men did not come out. They also did not come out when the servant came to question them. It was not until the guards came and were ready to use force that they jumped out. It was obvious that they had no good intentions.

"No, it's just that the old man was seriously injured, and I was afraid of delaying the rescue time, so I wanted the guards to help him up. I had absolutely no other intention!" The servant's voice softened a little.

The Yu family is very strict in disciplining their servants. Anyone who can serve as a personal servant to Yu Jingxuan must be a very smart and perceptive person. At this moment, he instantly changed his strategy and decided to win the hearts of the people.

The people who were watching nearby were originally quite angry, but when they saw that the official's servant was so polite and spoke so nicely, their attitude changed instantly.

It seemed that the crisis was about to disappear, but the old man who was originally having a convulsion suddenly made a "click" sound, and then lay on the ground motionless, his whole body very stiff.

The old man's hands also fell, revealing the deep whip marks on his face, which even bled.

"Murder! Dad! You killed someone!"

"Dad, are you okay? My dad is almost beaten to death, and your master is still thinking about going to court. In the eyes of you officials, we are just worthless lives!"

The three big men swarmed over and surrounded the old man in an instant, refusing to let the Yu family's servants and guards get any closer, and shouted for help.

"Oh my! The driver of a first-rank official is beating someone in the street!"

"The Minister of Rites' carriage has hit and killed someone!"

"That high-ranking official who lives off his wife came out to kill people early in the morning to vent his anger!"

Soon, the news spread like wildfire, becoming more and more outrageous.

Yu Jingxuan's face was gloomy. He had already become a laughing stock, and now this incident happened. It was really adding insult to injury. People were cursing him all kinds of things.

"What are you still standing there for? Evacuate them quickly. We can't be late for the morning court." He said to his attendant outside the car.

"Isn't this Lord Yu?" Just at this moment, Yu Jingxuan heard a familiar yet annoying voice coming.

He immediately lifted the curtain and saw the carriage of the Marquis of Loyalty slowly approaching, but it could not pass because of the numerous people blocking the way in front.

As soon as Yu Jingxuan saw him, a surge of rage surged in his heart.

Don't think he doesn't know that the two manifestos yesterday were written by Marquis Zhongyi, especially the focus on his gigolo status. Such vulgar and despicable means are completely Jiang Yiping's style.

The two of them stared at each other from a distance, their eyes were somewhat cold. After being sworn enemies for so many years, there was no love-hate relationship between them. They just wished that the other party would die quickly.

"My lord, there was a minor accident ahead. The people have misunderstood. We can't take this road. Let's change the lane!" Yu Jingxuan took the initiative to speak, bearing a heavy burden with humiliation.

At this time, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to take the initiative to lower his head. After all, he was afraid that Marquis Zhongyi would add fuel to the fire.

Unfortunately, the reason why a mortal enemy is called a mortal enemy is that you will always go against him.

"Everyone, please be patient. I heard that an old man was whipped by a groom and is now unconscious. I have reported it to the police and the bailiffs will be here soon. If you have any grievances, you can seek justice from them!"

Marquis Zhongyi jumped out of the carriage and raised his voice.

In an instant his voice spread far away, and when the people knew who he was, they immediately clapped and cheered.

"The Marquis of Loyalty not only holds an official position, but also a title. He is much more powerful than the Minister of Rites, but such a high-ranking official still helps us so much, which shows that there are still good officials."

"Yes, our village officials are not bad! Don't let a small incident spoil the jar and give you a bad impression of them."

Yu Jingxuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He clenched his fists so tightly that his teeth were almost broken.

Jiang Yiping was so cruel and sinister that he became a negative example and also highlighted the loyalty of the Marquis to the people.

The yamen runners arrived very quickly. In fact, they were also very distressed. Due to the interference of Marquis Zhongyi, the incident had escalated and both parties were powerful. The big guys in charge of Wangjing’s public security pushed one after another, and in the end no one dared to come, and they only sent the yamen runners.

"The officials are here. If you have any grievances, please tell me. I will come back to ask about this matter after I leave the court. I will definitely not let you be bullied." Marquis Zhongyi bowed to them.

The three big men who were howling like ghosts also stood up and bowed to him in thanks.

They were originally hooligans, but now they have transformed themselves into polite people.

This kind of contrast between the before and after made Yu Jingxuan extremely angry.

"Everyone, please let the carriage of the Marquis of Loyalty pass. We can't delay the Marquis from going to court." Someone shouted, and the gathered people automatically made way and watched the carriage of the Marquis leave.

Yu Jingxuan also immediately made a gesture, leaving the coachman behind to confront them, and wanted to change another coachman to leave with the Marquis's carriage.

But after taking just two steps, the three big men rushed out again and blocked the horse.

"Where do you want to go? My father is still alive or dead, and human life is at stake. You are not allowed to leave!"

***

Inside the Guangming Hall, the morning court session had already begun. The Emperor sat on the dragon throne and glanced down to see that there was an empty seat in the front row of civil officials.

"Why didn't Lord Yu come today? Are you sick?"

The chief eunuch at the side immediately came over and whispered a few words in his ear, telling him about the troubles Yu Jingxuan had encountered.

The emperor frowned, seeming dissatisfied, but ultimately did not say much, only letting the morning court begin.

The court today was much quieter than usual. The influence of the two manifestos yesterday, coupled with Yu Jingxuan's absence this morning, caused the officials who were ready to make a move to stop.

The other civil officials did not take any action on this matter, only Yu Jingxuan was very active. Now that there is no leader temporarily, the people under him dare not act rashly.

"Retreat!"

Ruan De shouted at the top of his voice, and after the emperor left, the court officials went to their own palaces in twos and threes.

The Loyal Marquis was surrounded by several military officers, who were making faces at him.

"My lord, I heard that Lord Yu was surrounded on the street this morning, and you happened to be there. Is the situation serious?" Someone immediately started to inquire.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that Marquis Zhongyi must have taken action to cause Yu Jingxuan's misfortune this morning, and he just happened to run into them, so he wanted to watch them make a fool of themselves in front of them.

"Hahaha, if you ask me, it's definitely not a big deal. After all, Lord Yu has a very powerful wife here. It must be a false alarm." Marquis Zhongyi touched his head and teased without any hesitation.

Everyone naturally knew what he was talking about and immediately burst into laughter.

The military generals had loud voices and laughed wildly and unrestrainedly, which made the civil officials look unhappy.

At this moment, another figure suddenly rushed over and went straight to the face of Marquis Zhongyi.

"You old bastard, I'm going to fight you!"
