I was a gentleman in ancient times

Everyone didn't dare to show their anger, only Cui Shiqi yelled desperately: "Liu Da, hurry up! Let someone arrest her. If you dare to do something to me, I will definitely return you double!"

At this time, someone in the crowd sighed: "Tsk tsk! What a big tone, people who don't know really think that it's not just Yingyang City, I'm afraid this world belongs to your Cui family!"

"Hiss!" Everyone who heard this gasped, who is so bold as to dare to go against the Cui family?Everyone followed the prestige and saw Tao Fu standing in front of the crowd.

These words not only satirized Cui Shiqi, but also scolded them.Liu Da was also a little annoyed, but he was never an impulsive person, so he looked him up and down, and he was not a familiar face.But looking at his clothes, he was uncertain about the identity of this person, so he hesitated.

This Yingyang City can be said to be full of dignitaries, not only the local gentry, but also the nobles from other countries who came to visit.In a word, even if it is a person who is not obvious, he might not be able to offend him.

"Your Excellency?" Liu Da lost his temper and asked.

Tao Fu waved his hand, "Tau Fu."

Surname Tao?Then he didn't dare to offend him even more. Although Liu Da had only been in this position for a few years, how could he sit securely in this position if he didn't have a little vision?Tao Fu, Tao Fu, he turned around in his mind, and suddenly remembered that the fourth master Tao of the Tao family left the Tao family for some reason more than ten years ago. There has been no news for more than ten years.So, this is the fourth master of the Tao family?

He, a little sesame official, can ignore other things, but every member of the four major families in Yingyang City must keep them in mind.Otherwise, I don't know how I lost my job.

Liu Da smiled flatteringly, "It turned out to be the fourth master of the Tao family. Today, the fourth master has returned to Yingyang. This is a happy event!"

Cui Shiqi was furious at first when he heard Tao Fu's sarcasm, and he didn't know Tao Fu, so he didn't think too much when he heard Tao Fu's name.Later, Liu Da recognized this person as Tao Fu, the fourth housekeeper of the Tao family. Only then did he remember that he had heard his father mention this name.

Tao Fu was a person his father respected very much. I heard that he was smart and studious since he was a child, and he was considered one of the few talents in the Tao family.It's a pity, I don't know why I heard that I went out to travel more than ten years ago, why did I come back today?

However, the Tao family is now at sunset, and one generation is not as good as the next generation. Compared with their Cui family, they are already far behind.So why did the fourth master of the Tao family come back?Do you think you can change the current situation of the Tao family by yourself?Ha ha, isn't this a joke?

"It turned out to be the Tao family. Their own family is almost in decline, so they are still talking sarcastic here." Cui 17 was young and energetic, and the Tao family did not dare to compete with their Cui family now.This man looked at his own jokes in a strange way, but he couldn't be more angry.

Tao Fu was not annoyed, and looked at him with a smile, calmly, "No matter how the Tao family declines, it can last for a while. What is the current situation of the young master of the Cui family..."

Cui Shiqi was fuming with anger, but he was restrained and unable to move, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't show it.I can only grit my teeth in resentment, and when he gets away, everyone will not think about it.He had already had someone notify his family, why didn't he send someone over to rescue him?It seems that counting on the government is hopeless.

Liu Dalian repeatedly wiped the sweat on his brow with his sleeve, wishing in his heart that the sheriff hadn't come yet.He is a small official who is as big as a sesame seed, and he is caught in the middle. He is not human at both ends, and he is afraid that he will be implicated in the end, and his position will not be guaranteed.

Now it has become a situation of confrontation between several parties, each has scruples, and no one dares to act rashly.

On the restaurant next to the street, a middle-aged man was holding a wine glass and watching this scene with great interest, while the guards on the side watched his nose, nose and heart, as if he had no perception of anything outside.

There was a smile on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, "Interesting, interesting! I didn't expect the fourth son of the Tao family to come back suddenly. Jianu, do you know why?"

Only then did the guard feel a little moved, and slowly replied: "The three-year academic discussion ceremony of Yingyang Academy will be soon, and I will not miss this opportunity if I want to come to the Tao family."

The middle-aged man nodded, stroking the long beard under his chin, discussing the academic ceremony, the four masters would not let this opportunity go, it seems that the Xie family should have prepared for it earlier.

……

Here, Tao Fu took two steps forward, bowed his hands in a very friendly way, "I just returned to Yingyang City today, and I encountered such a thing, although this matter cannot be judged by the Tao family. Ma, knowing the law and breaking the law should be dealt with by the government."

Tie Sanniang snorted, "It's nothing more than officials and officials guarding each other. The old woman is going all out, and the head of the family is gone, and the old woman can hardly live alone. It is also profitable to take the culprit to kill her."

"Ahem... don't be impulsive! Old man, if you have something to say, you can't afford to spend your own money on this kind of person. Besides, you resolutely leave, what can you do if you leave the old man alone?" Wei Su smiled. persuaded.

"Young people, don't lie to me..." Tie Sanniang followed the sound, and suddenly stopped, and saw that the old man lying on the ground had sat up at this time, and was looking around blankly.

Everyone was also shocked, this... Isn't this a ghost?Wasn't this old man kicked to death by a horse just now?Why are you down now?

Wei Zhen was standing next to the old man, seeing everyone's eyes looking over at this time, she was a little at a loss.Wei Su saw her embarrassment, and pulled Wei Zhen behind him, blocking most people's sight, Wei Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Tie Sanniang couldn't care about anything anymore, she pushed Cui Shiqi away, and stumbled over, "Old man, you, are you alright?"

Wei Su explained from the side: "The old man was just fainted by the fright of the horse just now, and he is fine now."

He didn't say a word about Wei Zhen's emergency rescue of the old man. After hearing his explanation, everyone suddenly realized that it was so.It's just that everyone looked at the two with pity and offended the Cui family, so what if they are fine?For the Cui family to take revenge on these two outsiders, it was as easy as crushing two ants to death.

Cui Shiqi was pushed to the ground by a dog gnawing mud, Liu Dalian hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.He can be arrogant and domineering even if he is restrained, but now he has no scruples, and he has already ordered Liu Da to go forward to arrest people angrily.

Liu Da did his part, just now he was afraid of hurting this charming young master, but now he is not afraid of anything, isn't it just two foreigners with no background?I can handle it casually.

As soon as Liu Da and his men rushed forward, Tao Fu stepped forward and stopped them with his hand.

"This... Master Tao Si, I'll be ordered to do something." Liu Da said flatteringly.

Tao Fu disdainfully said, "Orders? People in the government are actually ordered by a young child. If it is spread, I'm afraid they will make people laugh. I ask you, is this Cui Shiqi an official?"

The officials looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and they all looked at Liu Da who took the lead.

For a moment, Liu Da's face was a little ugly. He was just a young man, and he was in a dilemma. No matter what he did, he couldn't get it right.

Just when they were in a dilemma, the crowd started to yell, and someone shouted, "The sheriff is here."

People gave way one after another, and a middle-aged man led the official came over, it was the man who was just above the nearby restaurant.

Tao Fu raised his eyes and looked over, but he knew someone. It turned out that this year it was Xie's turn to be the sheriff.Xie Ji, an old fox, should wait until now to show up, right?Otherwise, it won't show up sooner or later, and it's just waiting for the dust to settle before standing out.Thinking of his character, it's hard not to be suspicious.

Yingyang City is controlled by the four major families, and the governor of Yingyang County is naturally selected from the four major families.Every five years, there will be a wave of rotation by the four masters, so that each force can also play a role in balancing and restricting.

Everyone saluted, Xie Ji waved everyone to stand up, Cui Shiqi had already hurried over, "Uncle Xie, quickly send someone to arrest this crazy woman, you dare to beat me in the street, you really deserve to die."

Xie Ji glanced at him, did not answer, but smiled at Tao Fu: "When will Brother Tao come back to Yingyang, why didn't you hear the news in advance?"

Cui Shiqi was full of breath, but he didn't dare to express it. Xie Ji and his juniors were often a little afraid of him.

Tao Fu cupped his hands, "It turns out that it's Bo Quan's brother. He has been away for a few years, and he suddenly wants to come back and have a look, but he doesn't want to encounter such a thing and delay here."

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of horseshoes coming eagerly. Cui Shiqi couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw the visitor, "Ninth brother is here! Ninth brother is the master for younger brother!"

Cui Jiu felt distressed seeing him in a state of distress, and hated him for not being up to date, so she glared at him, then saluted Xie Ji, "Brother Xie has caused trouble for Uncle Xie."

Seeing that Cui Jiu's face looked better, Xie Ji frowned, turned around and asked Liu Dao: "What's going on?"

Liu Da wiped off his sweat, and said the matter tremblingly.

In fact, the matter was very simple, Cui Shiqi rode a horse in the street and bumped an old man, and the old woman who was with the old man beat Cui Shiqi and the guards.

If it wasn't for the old man waking up in time, Cui Shiqi would be caught by someone, and there might be no good end.

Xie Ji turned his head to look at the old man, the two of them were saluting and thanking the two brothers and sisters Wei Su and Wei Zhen.Wei Zhen didn't dare to respond, she hid behind Wei Su, Wei Su fondled her head, and said a few polite words to the two.

Cui Jiu couldn't help but speak up for Seventeen, "This old man is obviously fine, but my brother is still injured, please thank you for judging it impartially."

Before Xie Ji could speak, Tao Fu smiled and said, "This is Cui Jiulang, right? I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and he's already this tall."

Cui Jiu saw that he looked familiar, but couldn't remember who it was, but Xie Ji introduced him.Cui Jiucai remembered that the fourth master of the Tao family hadn't heard anything from him for more than ten years. Could it be that he came back suddenly this time because of the upcoming academic ceremony at Yingyang Academy?Could it be that the disciples of the Tao family still want to use this to make a comeback?Or does their Tao family have another trump card?Um!I have to guard against it.
