Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

"Old man, you don't have to worry about them retaliating. As long as the Embroidered Uniform Guard exists, such things will absolutely never happen again!" Meng Weimin said with righteous indignation.

The restaurant owner held the silver, his lips trembling as he looked at Meng Weimin, blinking incessantly, seemingly still in disbelief.

Meng Weimin turned and walked back to the soldiers, coldly saying, "Do you think it's over just because you paid up? The money you just handed over is only for this time. You must also repay all the previous meal debts with interest. Not only that, but you must also be responsible for the impact your disturbance has had on the restaurant's business."

The soldier looked at Meng Weimin in fear, his voice trembling as he said, "Brother, isn't this a bit much? We're all just trying to get by... Give us some face."

"Impudent! Who's your brother! You are soldiers of the Jing Camp, instead of focusing on training, you come to the market to harass the people. The Embroidered Uniform Guard is dedicated to investigating wrongdoing and is impartial. If I let you off easy today, how will I be worthy of His Majesty's trust and the safety of the people!"

"Bravo!" The applause from the people and diners outside the door thundered.

The originally quiet Lianchun Garden instantly turned into a sea of applause.

Every commoner's face was filled with joy and excitement...

Isn't this the legendary incorruptible official? He actually appeared in broad daylight!

"Men, take these people down!"

At Meng Weimin's command, Zhou Tie and several brothers quickly untied the ropes from their waists and quickly forced the soldiers to kneel, binding them on the ground.

They also stuffed a cloth ball into their mouths to prevent any mishaps.

Seeing that the situation had completely returned to normal, Meng Weimin relaxed a lot. All that was left was for him to put on an act and perform.

However, after secretly glancing at the growing crowd outside the door, Meng Weimin couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

But when he suddenly smelled the aroma of food wafting from the restaurant from time to time, his nervous emotions eased a lot after he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He kept recalling the various response methods he had been taught before.

Meng Weimin slowly walked to the entrance of Lianchun Garden, revealing a confident smile to the people.

Then, he spread his arms and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was specially established by His Majesty out of concern for the subjects of the world!"

"From today onwards, any official or soldier who relies on their power to bully others will be dealt with by the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

"As long as the Embroidered Uniform Guard exists, we will absolutely not allow the people to be oppressed by those corrupt officials and evil gentry!"

"Even if there are lawless elements within the Embroidered Uniform Guard, we welcome the people of the world to point them out. The Embroidered Uniform Guard will always be your strongest backing!"

"Today, I, Meng Weimin, will make this promise. If there is a single false word, may I be struck by lightning!"

"Good! Well said!" A group of excited people began to applaud wildly again, "The Embroidered Uniform Guard is great!"

The people's trust in the government was not high to begin with, and they were even more unfamiliar with the newly established Embroidered Uniform Guard.

They had all heard a little about it, but who cared about the specifics? It wouldn't affect my earning one tael of silver a month!

But now it was different. The Embroidered Uniform Guard was really doing things! And they were specifically targeting the tough guys!

Now, in broad daylight, the Embroidered Uniform Guard launched a heavy blow to crack down on official criminals. Coupled with Meng Weimin's white clothes and dignified appearance, people couldn't help but be convinced.

"Hero Meng is righteous!" In the crowd, the shills arranged by Fang Zheng immediately shouted out.

The rest of the people followed suit and began shouting "Hero Meng".

Fang Zheng, with a few people, stood in the crowd with his arms folded, satisfiedly surveying Meng Weimin.

It seemed that he had not chosen the wrong person. This guy had good physical qualities and quickly got into character.

The follow-up was to help him build a brand. Since he had joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he naturally couldn't be treated as an ordinary petty officer.

Giving him the title of hero would obviously be much stronger in terms of dissemination.

Meng Weimin stood at the entrance of Lianchun Garden, listening to the overwhelming support below, and suddenly felt like he was in a dream.

So many people... are all cheering for me?

A sense of pleasure, a strong sense of pleasure, surged from the top of his head to the soles of his feet like an electric shock.

At this moment, Meng Weimin felt somewhat relieved... Perhaps being a gentleman was really a good choice.

Although he eats garbage, sleeps with ugly women, lives in a thatched hut, and is often whipped...

A gust of breeze blew past, blowing up two strands of black hair beside Meng Weimin's temples, making him look a little ethereal.

His face was a little itchy, and Meng Weimin naturally reached out and smoothed it, incomparably dashing.

The young ladies and young wives in the crowd immediately screamed!

Immediately afterwards, the crowd screamed again.

When the sound gradually subsided, Meng Weimin pressed down lightly with both hands and said loudly, "Thank you for the support of all the folks, but... please disperse now."

"If you continue to gather, I'm afraid it will affect people's business. I have disturbed you a lot today, please forgive me."

"Hero Meng! We're fine, you say what you want!"

"That's right! We're not affected!"

"Hero Meng is so considerate!"

At this time, the owner of Lianchun Garden suddenly walked out from behind, holding a few lotus leaf packages in his hands and approaching Meng Weimin, saying, "Hero Meng, thank you for your help today, otherwise I don't know how much I would have suffered."

"You've really worked hard. These dishes are all the signature dishes of Lianchun Garden. Please be sure to take them back and eat them. In the future, when you come to Lianchun Garden, we will never charge you a penny."

Meng Weimin stared at the lotus leaf package, his saliva began to accumulate frantically, and he was extremely tangled in his heart.

I want to eat... Damn it, let me drink a mouthful of vegetable soup! But if I take it, I will definitely die, and I have to continue to follow the requirements.

Recalling Fang Zheng's "ruthless" methods, Meng Weimin closed his eyes and pushed hard with both hands.

He said loudly, "Old man, why do you have to be like this!"

"It is the Embroidered Uniform Guard's duty to do things for the people. As an Embroidered Uniform Guard, I must not take a single cent from the people. I appreciate these dishes, but please don't say things like eating without spending money in the future. The people owe us nothing, but if we don't do well, what we owe is the people!"

"I came late today. If I had come earlier, I could have reduced some of your losses!" Meng Weimin began to put on a compassionate expression, his tone seemingly filled with endless regret.

Teary-eyed, a group of screaming people began to tear up.

Having grown up so big, when have I ever heard the high-ranking officials say such things?

Being able to look at us directly is considered treating us like human beings, but what about now? Taking charge of the people is right in front of us.

The key is that people look good...

Meng Weimin cupped his fists and said, "Fellow villagers, we will meet again if we are destined, let's all disperse!"

After saying that, he waved his hand backwards, and Zhou Tie led people to escort the soldiers away on horseback.

Meng Weimin rode his horse, followed by a group of nosy people...
