Chapter 24

Su Mo's words frightened Fan Jiang a little. This guy was still thinking in his heart, could it be that he really provoked someone he shouldn't.

Taikang County is not far from Bianjing, the capital city, so it is normal for the son of a high official in the court to appear here. Although his father has a prominent status, in the final analysis he is only an official from the fifth rank, and he is still an official However, there are still many people who he can't afford to mess with.

Xiao Ziling also looked at Su Mo curiously, but no matter how he looked at this guy, he didn't look like a powerful person!She had met many noble people, but Su Mo didn't have the temperament of those people at all.

Even when she first came to eat, she didn't think that Su Mo could pay for the money, because Su Mo's clothes were too shabby, and she regretted a little after ordering, she shouldn't kill Su Mo.

At that time, she was still thinking that if Su Mo couldn't pay for the meal, she would help him out, but she didn't expect that this guy really gave out more than a dozen taels of silver.

The people in the restaurant all set their eyes on Su Mo, waiting for him to reveal his amazing identity.

This made Su Mo feel embarrassed, he straightened his clothes, coughed dryly and said, "Ahem, I am..."

Come on, come on, what kind of amazing identity is it?Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

But Su Mo's next words shocked these people and almost choked to death on the wine.

There was a pause in Su Mo's voice, and then he said righteously: "I am a scholar of the Great Song Dynasty!"

laugh!
cough cough...

At that moment, several people spit out the wine in their mouths and coughed violently.

Xiao Ziling was also stunned for a moment, and then the pretty face under the bamboo hat couldn't help showing a smile.

This guy is really calm in the face of danger, and he is still in the mood to joke. It's really interesting. This is the first time she has seen such a person.

However, for someone like Fan Jiang, it was useless to try to speak harshly. She was even more worried about Su Mo's situation.

She had already decided that when it was a last resort, she could only reveal her identity and beg Fan Jiang to let Su Mo go, and she believed that Fan Jiang would give herself this face when the time came.

Fan Jiang's complexion at this time has been turned green and white by Su Moqi.

Damn it, I was fooled by this kid.

He glared at Su Mo angrily and said, "Boy, is this fun? I will definitely cripple you today."

After he finished speaking, the four or five servants behind him looked at Su Mo with unkind expressions.

Su Mo was not afraid, and said calmly: "Mr. Fan, are you sure you want to do something to me? Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so."

Fan Jiang was taken aback for a moment, wasn't he just hitting a young scholar with no background and no power?What consequences can there be? It's not like I haven't played before.

But when Su Mo said this, Fan Jiang, who had never encountered such a strange thing, really didn't dare to do it for a while. His face darkened, and he asked, "What do you mean by that? Why don't I dare to hit you? You are a poor scholar, so what if I beat you?"

Su Mo said solemnly: "We, the Song Dynasty, founded our country based on literature. When Taizu founded the country, he established laws and respected Confucianism. Officials cannot be punished and scholar-officials cannot be sentenced to death. Although I am only a young scholar, I am also a scholar. How dare you In public in the hall, you openly ordered your servants to beat me. Where did you put the laws of the Song Dynasty? Do you think that with your father's support, you can be lawless? "

Su Mo's righteous words were stern, and Fan Jiang, who was frightened for a moment, stood there in a daze.I don't know how to refute it.

In fact, Su Mo was also very disturbed at this time. He knew exactly where the loopholes in his words were.

The laws established by Taizu were only aimed at the group of scholar-officials, not all scholars. There is still a big difference between scholar-bureaucrats and scholars.

In the Song Dynasty, even women in brothels could recite poems and write poems, and there were so many scholars. If they all enjoyed the privileges of scholar-bureaucrats, then the Song Dynasty might be in chaos.

Even a scholar like Su Mo only has a slightly higher status than ordinary scholars, and he also has no fame, so now he is just cheating.

He was betting that Fan Jiang, the second official, was an illiterate idiot.

But he really made the right bet, not to mention Fan Jiang, even the other scholars in the restaurant, if they didn’t study the laws of the Song Dynasty, they would never think about this issue. After all, in this era, except for a few senior intellectuals, The awareness of other people's legal rights protection is still very weak, so no one in a restaurant in Nuoda exposed Su Mo.

At this moment, Fan Jiang's face was cloudy and uncertain. He had been fooled by Su Mo. Although he was extremely arrogant on weekdays, he still didn't dare to do things that violated laws and regulations.

According to Su Mo's logic, it might not be against the law for a second-generation official like himself to beat someone. With the power of the family, he can settle the matter by paying a small amount of money, but if he beats a scholar, he may be in trouble.

His father has already retired, and the reason for his retirement is that he offended a certain big shot in the court.

So now he must consider whether hitting Su Mo will bring trouble to his father and family.

After all, breaking the law and discipline is still quite a big deal, with so many people watching, it is impossible to deny it.

But soon, Fan Jiang had an idea and came up with a clever plan. You said you were a scholar, but I just didn’t admit it and pretended I didn’t know. For the sake of face, the county magistrate will definitely be vague and help himself to confuse this situation.

Fan Jiang's plan was originally a good one, as long as he took action now and beat Su Mo directly.

However, in order to show that he is unparalleled in his ingenuity, this idiot even laughed out loud, fully explaining what it means to say that bad guys die from talking too much.

He triumphantly said to Su Mo: "You said you were a scholar, and you are. I just don't believe it. When I beat you up and went to the yamen, I said I didn't know. The county magistrate would definitely not do anything to me of."

This is the first time that Su Mo found out that there are such stupid people in this world who have planned such a sinister plan, but they actually said it openly. Are you afraid that everyone will not know?

How did that fellow Luo Ming get suppressed by this trash?It really refreshes the three views!
Dealing with such a guy, Su Mo naturally didn't panic at all. He smiled lightly and said, "Hehe, with so many people watching, you still want to turn the truth upside down, but since you said you didn't know that I was a scholar, then I will Prove it to you and everyone present."

Su Mo did this because he was afraid that Fan Jiang would really do something to him, and these insensitive feudal fools were afraid of his power and refused to testify for him.

Asking for others is worse than asking for himself, Su Mo decided to take care of this Fan Jiang himself, he pondered for a moment and said: "I have a feeling today and wrote a small poem, please appreciate it, so as to prove it. Is the scholar really the real deal?"

"The title of my little poem: There are beautiful women in the north."
