I don't want to play anymore

"Lord Hou...?"

"What Lord?"

"?!!"

The onlookers were astonished. The scholars inside and outside the building followed Mr. Ji, and all turned their gazes in the direction of Gu Jingyuan, including the buddies in Mingyue Building, who were also frightened dumbfounded.

Especially the tough military men in official uniforms saluted and knelt down to the treasurer Mei... The ordinary people have never seen this posture before. Kneel down and salute.

The few arresters who were showing off their power just now simply froze, turned around stiffly, looked at each other, and found that everyone else was kneeling, only a few of them were still standing...

How could this work? They didn't have time to think too much, so they simply kneeled down and knelt on the ground.

I didn't know what to say to salute, so I could only kneel.

For a moment, the entire Ermingyue Building fell to its knees inside and out.

There was only one person, dressed in moon-white clothes, standing there, tall and straight like a pine and cypress, and like a red plum on the steep snow mountain, blooming in full bloom in the cold, extremely beautiful.

Gu Jingyuan stared blankly at the door, his fingers hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly.

But it was only in a daze for a moment, and then he quickly came back to his senses and bowed himself to help Ji Lian.

"Brother Ji, what are you doing? It really upsets me."

His eyelashes trembled twice, seeing the scene of Wanmin kneeling, he immediately said: "Get up, get up quickly."

"Yes."

The two guards behind Ji Lian stood up, and the others stood up after seeing this, although they didn't understand why.

It’s just that there were heated discussions again inside and outside. Someone who just passed by the door of Mingyue Building saw such a big commotion here, they couldn’t help but came to ask: “What’s the matter? What’s the matter inside?”

"I don't know... I don't know what happened, the shopkeeper Mei... somehow became Lord Hou?"

"It's really Lord Hou? Did you hear me right?"

"What could be wrong, didn't you see those Beijing officials were kneeling at him!"

"There are many aristocratic families in the Dayi Dynasty, and it is inevitable for them to hide their names and live here in seclusion. What a fuss is there."

"The man in the crimson court dress is obviously the adult who was sent by the Ministry of Rites to invigilate the exam this year! He is not the chief examiner but also the deputy chief examiner, am I right? His name is Manager Mei... Teacher???"

"But shopkeeper Mei... doesn't look like a rich man at all. I heard that most of the rich and powerful in the capital are extravagant and lustful, but shopkeeper Mei is extremely approachable. Didn't he take in a down-and-out scholar the day before yesterday! The family has no money, There is not even a place to stay when I go out to catch the exam. The restaurants on both sides of the Qinhuai River are decorated elegantly and uniquely, and every family has an essay test competition at night, but I think there is only one shopkeeper Mei who really values ​​scholars..."

"Brother, you are just reminding me...you don't think shopkeeper Mei is the same as the one in the legend... Even according to the description of that person spread in the capital and Lianghe, this shopkeeper Mei is also completely consistent! "

"...You said it like this... I remember it! It seems that someone said it before, saying that shopkeeper Mei is so beautiful. If you just look at it from the outside, I'm afraid that even that Lord Hou would have grown up like this. ...Could it be that... shopkeeper Mei is that..."

"It's very possible! It's very possible! Even the chief examiner calls him teacher! If it wasn't for our Dayi Wenquxing star, who would deserve this title!"

Among the unanimous inferences of the people and the students rushing for the exam, shopkeeper Mei, located in the center surrounded by the crowd, has become the focus of attention.

The few police officers who were still kneeling on the ground and dared not get up naturally heard so many voices of discussion, and felt complicated and frightened.

——If shopkeeper Mei is really the legendary Marquis, then what a person they have offended!

It's all over.

He didn't even have the guts to look up at Shopkeeper Mei's beautiful face again. All the policemen could see was Shopkeeper Mei's pair of spotless white boots and the moon-white hem that swayed gently around the boots...

"Forgive me, Lord Hou! Forgive me, Lord Hou!"

The arrester who was the most arrogant before didn't care much, so he kowtowed and apologized: "It's a villain who has eyes but no pearls. Your lord doesn't remember the fault of a villain. We are all working for the county magistrate, shopkeeper Mei... excuse me, Lord Hou. crime!"

As soon as he kowtowed, the others followed suit.

The scholars who had been frightened to be imprisoned before only felt elated.

Looking at the shopkeeper Namei at this time, they were not just looking at a gentle businessman with a strong reputation in Jinling, they looked at him, unconsciously tinged with longing and admiration!

If this is really the legendary Wenquxing, the Marquis of Xiangyang from Dayi Dynasty...

Isn't that...

There are those who have a quick brain and have already fallen into madness before others.

Right in front of his eyes, the poems and essays of Marquis Xiangyang that various restaurants hired famous calligraphers to transcribe were all overshadowed, not to mention the authentic works that many people obtained through their connections!

How can authentic works be compared with real people? !

……sky!

They live in Wenquxing's restaurant and eat Wenquxing's food? ! !

They even had a conversation with Wenquxing just now? ? ?

The scholars who had the honor to read Mr. Gu's poems and essays all trembled with excitement. If it weren't for the gentle temperament of scholars in general, there might not have been people who couldn't wait to ask aloud, or even came directly to ask for the original work!

As for ordinary people, the Qinhuai River is the birthplace of culture. Although Dayi does not emphasize literature, the people here deal with literati and inkmen all day long, and they have heard of their Wenqu stars in Dayi.

What's more, Wenquxing not only has outstanding literary talents, but also has done a lot of good deeds.

Who hasn't heard of Xiangyanghou?

The ones who are most excited here should be the guys in Mingyue Tower.

Most of them have followed the shopkeeper since the opening of Mingyue Tower last year-if it weren't for their shopkeepers who are very responsible and responsible shopkeepers who can't find any faults, they wouldn't be able to follow him Even for a year, it is impossible to be so united!

So sometimes I can't help but think about how their shopkeepers are so young, how they are so noble, strong, and perfect.

But now, once the shopkeeper is imagined as the Wenqu star who became the number one scholar in high school in his teens and made outstanding contributions to the court in just three years... it is not surprising!

All doubts are easily solved!

Even the regent who can cover the sky with one hand can bring down, what else can their shopkeepers not do!

In order to punish rape and eradicate evil all the way, with such a heart, how difficult is it to run a restaurant alone!

If their shopkeeper is really Master Wenquxing Gu...

That's neither surprising nor inconsistent!

It's not against the peace at all!

Regardless of whether it was Xiangyanghou or not, the shop assistants looked at their shopkeeper with admiration in their eyes, as if they were extremely convinced that this was their great Wenqu star.

The others also fell into a state of madness one after another, wishing they could get a letter of approval from the mouth of the chief examiner, and then hurried out to tell each other that they had seen Lord Gu with their own eyes, their great Wenqu star!

But at this time, Mr. Ji obviously did not understand the desire and intention of the people.

Ji Lian is a book reader.

Although he is quite insightful and talented in the books, he is completely incomprehensible in other aspects.

Two years ago, with some advice and encouragement from Mr. Gu, he had already passed the high school exam last year.

Although he was only ranked second in the list, one step behind the No. [-] scholar, the emperor still arranged him into the Ministry of Rites.

At that time, Lord Gu was no longer in the court, but the emperor arranged for him to follow the old path of Lord Gu!

This is very encouraging for Ji Lian. Although he does not know why Lord Hou left Beijing and where he went, Ji Lian still regards him as a teacher in his heart and is encouraged by him day and night to forge ahead.

Therefore, from the day he took office, he has been working hard every day, handling official duties, and continuing to study hard.

It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that his talent, learning and character are gradually known in the court, and this time he was sent to the Jiangnan Gongyuan to preside over the rural examination.

By the way, he only found out when he took part in the palace examination... The person who entered and exited with Mr. Gu in the past is the current Holy One!

At that time, after several months, Ji Lian always thought of Mr. Gu whom he regarded as his teacher, and his impression of Mr. Huang had become much thinner.

The only thing I remember is that when we drank tea together, Mr. Huang had a sullen expression the whole time, with a gloomy and terrifying expression... It was exactly the same as the emperor on the hall and in the dragon chair!

... At the first time, Ji Lian still thought that Mr. Huang was probably from a family and had a bad temper, so he remained expressionless.

But on the day of the palace examination, seeing the emperor still had a gloomy and obscure face, Ji Lian was sure that with Tianwei being so powerful, the emperor was the emperor, perhaps this was the majesty of the emperor.

Anyway, that day, Ji Lian performed as usual.

At that time, he didn't know that he would have the opportunity to be sent to Jiangnan today and meet his teacher again.

Knowing that the teacher is here is just an accident.

Ji Lian himself was born as a Gong student, so he naturally attached great importance to scientific research.

Even the small township examination was not sloppy, and I started to arrange various matters on the first day of landing.

He had heard that there would be lively essay competitions on both sides of the Qinhuai River every night. In order to see the strength of the candidates in advance, and also wanted to take the opportunity to chat with others, Ji Lian still took some time out of his busy schedule. Came out to watch the game late.

The first one to choose was the well-known Mingyue Tower.

I heard that Mingyue Tower's competition system is the most reasonable, and the rewards are the most abundant.

And the arena design, food supply, and staff service there are also the most satisfactory, so the reputation is the loudest and the voice is the highest.

Unexpectedly, he came here ahead of time and took up a good seat, so he caught sight of Mr. Gu sitting in a hidden place on the second floor!

There is no mistake, although the scar on the eyebrow is no longer there, but Master Gu's words and deeds are still remembered by Ji Lian.

Although it is only one side, but it is unforgettable for a lifetime!

It's a pity that my lord and the talented man surnamed Jiang left early yesterday...

Even though Ji Lian was extremely excited, he still followed the way of a gentleman and did not disturb him at night, but chose to come to the official meeting today.

But today, before others approached here, they saw that the gate of Mingyue Tower was full of people.

After listening to other people's conversations for a while, and inquiring again, I realized that it was the magistrate here who openly embarrassed merchants because of his selfish desires!

...It is simply unreasonable!

Even if the embarrassing person is not Mr. Gu, Ji Lian can't turn a blind eye.

He had once been forcibly occupied by dandies in the capital, and he knew this kind of resentment and pain best.

Now that he is an official in the court, even if it is not a matter under his jurisdiction, he can't tolerate sand in his eyes.

What's more, the one being oppressed is Mr. Gu!

A straight-tempered and stubborn-minded person like Ji Lian is naturally unbearable, and this scene happened just now.

Now being personally supported by Xiang Yanghou, whom he regards as a teacher, he feels a little ashamed when he thinks that the other party has never accepted him as a student.

He said: "The student was impulsive just now, and he called an adult as a teacher. Please forgive me, Lord Hou."

After all, he didn't explain Gu Jingyuan's identity to everyone, but pointed to the arresters who kept kowtowing on the ground and said, "My lord, how should we deal with them?"

Naturally, Gu Jingyuan would not argue with him over such a trivial matter, but now that his identity has been revealed, it is no longer difficult to hide it.

He was also thinking about the pros and cons of the subsequent series, and when Ji Lian asked him a question, he said, "Of course it's business."

Looking down at the arresters for a while, Gu Jingyuan said: "The magistrate thinks that there is a hidden danger here. According to the law, I should go to the yamen with a set of paperwork to explain, and then the yamen will send people to inspect it. If it is just a misunderstanding, it will take half a day. It can be solved. Therefore, all the officials, this building does not need to be sealed, so Mei will go back to the Yamen with everyone. If it is really unqualified, it is not too late to close the building?"

The few policemen who were called officials by Lord Hou: "..."

Immediately, he was even more trembling like a sieve, and he didn't dare to say a word.

...How dare you close the building here?What is the magistrate's order?After today, the county magistrate can still be the county magistrate? !

...The worst people are them!Offended some gods!

Even though Lord Hou didn't blame him now, but if he offended Lord Hou, no yamen would dare to take them in in the future!

Especially the leader, recalling how close he was to Lord Hou just now...

It's over!Everything is over!

The person whom he regards as a teacher got involved in the lawsuit and said that he would go to the yamen to explain to the county magistrate in person, how could Ji Lian not accompany him?

If he accompanied him, the two guards who followed him to protect him would naturally also accompany him.

——These two are high-ranking guards who can carry knives in the palace, and they are full of murderous aura wherever they go.The scene of opening the road in front is also quite magnificent.

The most important thing is that I heard that the owner of Mingyue Tower is actually a lord, and he is very likely to be that person who looks like a bright moon and a clear breeze. They are Wenqu stars who meet once in a hundred years in Dayi Dynasty...

Regardless of whether it was the common people or the students temporarily living nearby, they all frantically came to pay their respects to Wenqu Xing. Not to mention being surrounded on the road, the scene was indeed spectacular and caused a sensation in the whole city.

But even so, around Shopkeeper Mei, who was traveling with the Beijing official, there was still a small isolation zone automatically formed by the onlookers.

They don't need the protection of those arresters.

It seems that as long as you can pay close attention to what happens, no one dares to really get close to this person.

Not only because shopkeeper Mei's appearance is too handsome, but just getting close will make people feel blush.

Also because he might be the one!

That sacred and legendary figure...how could it be possible to play with him close by.

Therefore, in Jinling City, which was completely shaken, the loudest and most loud voices at this time were the voices of "don't squeeze" and "back off".

It was only after seeing so many people around that Ji Lian finally realized something, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Gu Jingyuan: "My lord... Did you do something wrong?"

"..."

Mr. Gu took a deep breath and smiled helplessly.

"It's nothing, Brother Ji is also worried about me, he is anxious to help me."

"My lord..." Ji Lian embarrassedly scratched his cheek.

Surrounded by the crowd all the way to the yamen, when they passed the restaurant next door, the legendary magistrate's uncle was already thinking about how to escape.

He just heard the movement next door, and his jaw dropped in shock.

Think about it, not only did I send a group of punks over there to make trouble, but I also invited my brother-in-law to come forward and close their shop... So many bastard things...

The brother-in-law hurriedly ordered someone to inform his brother-in-law of the situation here.

At this moment, through the crowd, I saw the nobleman surrounded by the crowd from a distance... I just felt that it was too late.

The officials in Beijing and China knew that they were using their power for personal gain. His brother-in-law, this black hat...

Gu Jingyuan and the others hadn't gone far before the county magistrate hurried over.

He didn't even have time to ride the sedan chair and the horse, he trotted and panted, and now he didn't care about the people watching along the way, when he saw Master Ji and the person beside him, he pushed through the crowd and knelt down on the ground At Gu Jingyuan's feet.

"I have eyes but don't see Mount Tai! I have eyes but don't see Mount Tai! Please forgive me, Lord Hou! Please forgive me, Lord Hou!"

Gu Jingyuan stopped in his tracks.

He was still holding the ultimatum given to him by the government just now, as well as a document of permission to open his own shop. He was tall and straight, and asked indifferently: "Lord Cai, what is this for?"

"..."

Hou Ye's voice didn't sound the slightest ups and downs. The calmer the other party was at this time, the more flustered Cai Zhixian felt.

He begged for mercy without hesitation: "I don't know the real identity of Lord Hou, what an offense, please forgive me this time!"

Just like the arrests he sent earlier, County Magistrate Cai knelt on the ground in the street, kowtowing to Lord Hou.

But amidst the pointing and pointing of the people, the Hou Ye standing in front of him was unmoved.

Gu Houye's voice was not loud, and his tone was very light, he said: "Lord Cai doesn't know my identity, it's not a crime. I never offended you because of this, so what is the meaning of your pleading now?"

"..."

Cai County Magistrate, who couldn't stop kowtowing, paused.

It was the hot summer weather, and the tone of this Lord Hou was normal, but he broke out in a cold sweat.

County magistrate Cai straightened up a little bit, and looked up at this Lord Hou, who for some reason had to hide his name to be the shopkeeper of a small restaurant...

After exchanging glances with Lord Hou, the county magistrate couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

...Such a handsome face, such handsome eyebrows... He has seen this shopkeeper Mei more than once, why didn't he think that this might be the one who left the court!

Cai county magistrate is now too late to regret.

At this time, even with the doubts of the people in Qinhuai and the eyes of the candidates all over the world, he had to bite the bullet and get through it.

Cai Zhixian pretended not to hear other people's comments, and stood up directly from the ground.

He tried to approach Lord Hou, but was not stopped by the two guards in official uniforms.

With the unsheathed long sword in front of him, Magistrate Cai immediately raised his hands in fright.

While expressing that he had no malicious intentions, he still tried his best to get close to shopkeeper Mei, and whispered to him: "My lord, there are so many people here, the weather is hot, and the sun is shining, why don't you come back to the mansion as an official, let's take a step to talk." ?”

Although he couldn't figure out the identity of the Marquis, Magistrate Cai's idea was to have a private discussion with shopkeeper Mei.

As long as we can talk, there is still room for redemption.

But he obviously hit the iron plate this time.

The tandem approach is totally unworkable.Because Master Hou didn't intend to make a move.

He just stopped and stood there, with his snow-white boots stepping on the hot stone road, his expression was calm and firm: "Since Mr. Cai has come here in person, we might as well talk here if we have anything to say."

As he said that, he looked directly at Caizhi County with those beautiful peach blossom eyes, which were full of clarity and justice: "As the parent and official of this place, is there anything else you need to deliberately avoid the common people?"

"Master Hou...you..." Mr. Cai couldn't get down from the stage.

He looked again at Mr. Ji who was next to Lord Hou... Forget it, this is a nerd, and he didn't expect the other party to give him a wink.

Since the other party didn't give him any face...

County magistrate Cai suddenly rolled his eyes, and he was willing to go all out.

He completely forgot the scene where he knelt down and pleaded in the street just now, his expression changed, and he said, "It's nothing serious. I came here this time because I heard that shopkeeper Mei claimed to be the Marquis of Xiangyang?... If it's really Marquis who came to us Jinling Mansion, please also ask Lord Hou to show his identity proof. If it is not... pretending to be an important court official, it is a serious crime! Shopkeeper Mei, can you please come with me this time?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Before Shopkeeper Mei opened his mouth, Mr. Ji couldn't listen any longer, and argued with him: "What do you mean by claiming to be the Marquis of Xiangyang? Don't say that the Marquis has never done this before, even if he has mentioned it, how can you?" It is related to the crime of impersonating an important official of the court!"

"The lower officials also act according to court rules."

The magistrate of Cai County cupped his hands at Ji Lian symbolically, and said, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Ji is only in charge of the affairs of the Jiangnan Tributary Court. As for how to be the parent officer here... I don't need Mr. Ji to advise."

"Lord Cai, you..." Although Ji Lian was not clumsy, he couldn't say anything in front of such an unreasonable person who wanted to argue three points.

But there was no need for him to speak at this time, the voice of shopkeeper Mei had already sounded again.

His naturally handsome face makes him always have a strong sense of presence, and if he speaks a little, the surrounding will automatically quiet down, and he just wants to listen to what he has to say.

Shopkeeper Mei's voice was indifferent and steady: "The point now is not who I am, but why did your lord just suspend my Mingyue Building for seven days just based on a simple complaint?"

While speaking, he looked at Caizhi County again with a torch in his eyes.

It seems that he has always only had a modest and polite side, and after a long time, people will feel that this is a gentle person.

Facing the sharp eyes of shopkeeper Shangmei, Cai Zhixian subconsciously dodged his eyes for a while, and took a step back!

He took a step back, and shopkeeper Mei took a step forward.

People who can argue against all the Changguo missions in the essay test, even if they seldom argue with others, their speech is still clear and sharp.

I just heard shopkeeper Mei say: "Which law of the imperial court stipulates that I will be suspended for seven days just because I am reported? If I am not a lord, can my lord be able to suspend me for seven days? In other words , if I'm really Lord Hou, don't I have to accept the seven-day suspension?"

He pressed on step by step, and Magistrate Cai could only retreat step by step.

He trembled even more.

Not only was he completely unable to answer the other party's question, but he was also frightened by the gaze of the thin young man in front of him!

Judging from the other person's eyes that make people feel chilled just looking at you, he is now very convinced that this person is Lord Hou...

At least definitely not an ordinary person!

How can ordinary people have such momentum?How could there be such a calm and calm reaction!

County magistrate Cai complained incessantly.

If he wanted to blame it, he didn't think much about it when his brother-in-law came to him. He wrote down a document and directly wrote the words "Seven days" in it.

... He really didn't think much about it. It wasn't the first time he had done this, and it had never happened before.

Really just scribbling.

Anyway, after the store is closed, he will send someone to slowly "check" whether all the facilities in the store are safe, and it can take seven days. It is useless for anyone to argue or to check, he always follows the rules.

But I didn't expect... There would really be someone who read the document carefully and read every word!

And it caught the key words in the first place!

Now the document is in the hands of the other party, and the official seal is stamped on it, so he can't admit it.

Cai Zhixian has already confirmed that if this continues, his black hat will definitely be lost.

For the current plan, there is only broken jars.

He immediately jumped up, pointed in the direction of shopkeeper Mei and said: "Since there is no evidence, then he is pretending to be an important official of the court! Come on, let me take this person down! Take him back and talk about it!"

"Who dares to move?!" The two guards immediately drew out their sabers and protected the two adults in the middle, one on the left and one on the right.

But Cai Zhixian had already prepared for it. He had brought all the rest of the policemen in his yamen and the guards at home.Including the few policemen who went to seal the store earlier, they also quickly understood the county magistrate's determination to fight to the death, and couldn't help rushing forward.

The four were quickly surrounded by a group of arresting servants.

Cai Zhixian took two steps back, and raised his voice: "Pretending to be an official of the imperial court should be a felony! Take it down!"

Most of the onlookers were still in the fog. Some people could see that Caizhi County was deliberately shouting to catch the thief, but swords and swords were already facing each other, and a fight started. How could they dare to watch the excitement!

In order not to be injured, these people immediately ran around.

On the contrary, some scholars have already determined that shopkeeper Mei is Mr. Xiangyanghou Gu, and they couldn't bear to be humiliated here. Although they were very afraid, they still insisted on not leaving, trying to reason with the county magistrate.

Magistrate Cai didn't have the mood to argue with these scholars, he just wanted to take Xiangyanghou and Mr. Ji back with violence.

If they resisted during the process and "inadvertently" encountered something, it was because he accidentally injured the adults while arresting the thief who pretended to be a court official.

The court may be to blame.

But at least he didn't just lose his black hat after the news of his abuse of power was reported back to the capital.

——The capital has been cleaning up the children of the wealthy family since last year. Now the emperor is the last to see someone abusing his power to cover his relatives. If this matter is really reported back to the capital...

Cai County Magistrate immediately commanded his subordinates: "They are all colluded by the culprits in advance, and all those who speak for the culprits will be captured by this officer!"

"What are you doing in a daze! During such an important period of the provincial examination, someone pretends to be an important official of the imperial court and encourages the students to try to make a profit! Take them all for me!"

Seeing the arresters and servants rushing up, Ji Lian subconsciously protected Gu Jingyuan, fixed his eyes on the vicious arresters, and said nervously: "The magistrate of Cai County is going to rebel! It's because of the negligence of the subordinate officials. My lord, after you step back quickly, don't hurt you!..."

"grown ups?……"

Before Ji Lian finished speaking, he felt that there was nothing behind him.

... Mr. Gu, who was being protected by him, had already jumped up, leaping over the heads of everyone in the air!

The moon-white clothes drew a bright and bright line in the air. Ji Lian raised his head and looked at the thin figure in a daze. Before touching it, Mr. Gu's snow-white boots directly stepped on... Mr. Zhixian's face.

……

The chaotic scene became silent for a moment.

Cai Zhixian let out a scream, and was directly kicked to the ground.

The slender figure in the moon white clothes landed steadily, and stepped on the opponent's fat chest due to lack of exercise.

Like everyone else, the police officers brought by County Magistrate Cai and the guards at home had no idea...the seemingly frail shopkeeper Mei could do such a thing!

Capture the thief first and capture the king first.The county magistrate was trampled under his feet... These people glanced at each other, not knowing whether to attack Shopkeeper Mei or save their own lord...

"The public turned black and white and told right and wrong."

Shopkeeper Mei's cold voice sounded again, and he slightly lowered his eyes to look at Mrs Cai, his figure was upright and fierce, his handsome and beautiful face was like a fairy coming down to earth, and the words he said could not be ignored at all, every word was on his heart:

"Cai Yongjin, Xuanhong's 18-year martial arts examiner, has been an official for [-] years. What, you can't even match the skill of a three-legged cat like me? This shows..."

His words were not without irony.The white boots were tightly crushed on the opponent's weakness, making the opponent unable to move at all. The shopkeeper Mei said: "Magistrate Cai has really studied the way of being an official a lot these years."

"You...you beat the imperial court official! You!...Ah!" County magistrate Cai screamed again against his nose that was bleeding from the kick just now.

County magistrate Cai was indeed born in Wuju when the first emperor was in his prime. He had some connections, and his wife was from a merchant family with some money, so a county magistrate was soon arranged for him.

The county magistrates in small places are different from the county magistrates on both sides of the Qinhuai River. Although he has been an official for many years and is still a seventh-rank sesame official, he was able to come to Qinhuai to be the county magistrate. Cai County magistrate also made it step by step.

And the facts are indeed as Mr. Gu said, he hasn't practiced martial arts since he won the martial arts exam.

——Things in the officialdom are much more complicated. It is not easy for him to be able to make it this far as a warrior, so how can he practice martial arts again...

"What are you still standing there for!" County magistrate Cai screamed, "He beat up the imperial court official, kill him! Kill him!"

When he came back to his senses, those catchers and servants formed a circle again.

They also wanted to rush forward amidst the adults' screams, but shopkeeper Mei suddenly showed his hand just now, and it seemed that they still had the strength to hide it!

... They were just ordinary people with a lot of strength, and they really didn't dare to rush forward recklessly.

The scene became chaotic again, and the common people gathered around again, applauding one after another.

They have long been displeased with Cai Zhixian's way of being an official who takes advantage of loopholes in the law to be dignified, but in fact it is an abuse of power. Now seeing him being stepped on the ground, they just feel very happy.

Some people even shouted directly: "Master Hou is calling the shots for us!"

While shouting, someone knelt down, and others knelt down after seeing this.

The crowded streets fell to their knees again, and Magistrate Cai was extremely angry.

At any rate, he was born in martial arts, and he is tall and burly. Just now he was kicked in the nose, and the pain was unbearable. He was restrained temporarily. Shouting: "Hurry up and take down the traitor! Don't you want to do it anymore!"

"..."

The policemen and servants also knew that they had no way out. Seeing the adults struggling, they also went all out, drew out their long knives and forced the shopkeeper Mei again.

But at this moment, a voice came from a distance: "Stop!"

The crowd was pushed aside again, and the prefects and prefects of Jinling Mansion arrived!

Before Cai Zhixian could break free from the soles of shopkeeper Mei's boots, he saw the two adults knelt down to salute, and walked forward on their knees: "I pay my respects to the Marquis of Xiangyang! The officials are late, and I hope the Marquis will forgive me!"
