The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 954 It's over...

"Well said!" Someone on the first floor shouted, and then a few people echoed.

However, most people were from Ning'an, and they knew how powerful the patrolling yamen runners were, so they kept silent.

Gou Zi gnashed his teeth and said, "Brother Jian, let's do it. Beat them up first. At worst, they can arrest us together. The law clearly stipulates that as long as he dares to fight back and as long as I can't beat him up, it's a fight, and both parties are responsible. I'll just find someone to bail him out, who dares to bail him out?"

Some people present couldn't help but frown. This is the incompetence of the law. It often fails to protect truly innocent people, but instead becomes an accomplice of the villains.

Yamen runner Jian nodded and said, "You two, follow me to the yamen."

"I'll give you one last chance. You are a public servant and you must be responsible for every word you say." Fang Yun's voice was unusually serious.

Jian Yayi smiled contemptuously and said, "I will give you one last chance. No one in Changbai Street can fail to give Jian face, and you are no exception!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded downstairs: "What's going on?"

Gouzi turned back unhappily to scold, but when he saw the person who was talking, he quickly shut his mouth. He was not only a scholar, but also a ninth-rank official in the county, Yu Bashi.

Jian Yayi looked at the first floor with a smile, lifted his robe, pushed aside the crowd and hurried downstairs, laughing as he ran: "What wind brought you here, Lord Yu?"

Yu Bashi smiled slightly, with a trace of pride that could not be concealed on his face, and said: "A friend invited me to come here to eat braised sauce. Oh, I remember, you are in charge of Changbai Street, right?" Yu Bashi put his hands behind his back and went upstairs while talking.

Jian Yayi followed behind Yu Bachi, holding out his arms to prevent him from falling. He went upstairs and said, "I met two poor people from other places. They were jealous of a singing girl and bullied our local Ning'an people."

"Is there such a thing?" Yu Bachi shook his head lightly without showing any inclination. He quickly went to the second floor and looked around. He found that there was only one table on the second floor, a teenager and a child, and an old man and a young man holding musical instruments standing next to them. There were also four hooligans at the stairs.

Yu Bachi remembered that Fang Yun said that the table opposite the stairs was him, and Jian Yayi said that there were two people on the second floor bullying Ning'an people.

There was only one table on the second floor.

Yu Bachi looked at the teenager again, his eyebrows jumped, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then his expression was flustered, and his legs trembled slightly.

"Master Yu." Gou Zi bowed his head after saying that, and his three men followed to greet him.

Fang Yun did not even look at Yu Ba Chi, but took the teapot to pour tea for himself. The thin stream of water fell into the teacup, making a soft sound.

"Sir Yu, this Jian Yajue is very impressive. He does not care if the ruffians humiliate the singing girl; he does not care if the ruffians bully innocent people. His good brother Gou Ye is not bullying people well, so he is unhappy and falsely accuses me of being a murderer and wants to arrest me, the victim. Is there such a reason in the world? Is this how your people work?"

Yu Ba Chi was so angry that his head almost exploded. He had been in the county government for many years, and he knew everything about the collusion between the Yajue and the ruffians. He understood what was going on when he heard half of it. He cursed Jian Yajue for being so low-key. Why did he go to provoke Xu Sheng who was visiting incognito?

Even the left prime minister of the dynasty was embarrassed by Fang Yun, and a small Yajue dared to be so presumptuous?

Yu Ba Chi took a deep breath and suppressed his uneasiness. The three words "Mr. Yu" almost frightened him to death, but he quickly calmed down. He didn't have a close relationship with Jian Yayi. As long as he handled this matter well, the situation would not escalate.

Yu Ba Chi first bowed to Fang Yun, then turned around abruptly, stood on the second floor and looked down at Jian Yayi on the stairs, and asked sternly: "Is what the person by the window said true?"

Jian Yayi hurriedly winked at Yu Ba Chi and whispered: "Mr., let's find a quiet place..."

"How dare you! This official asks you a question, you confess the truth." Yu Ba Chi's voice was stern.

Gou Zi and others were stunned in place, looking at Yu Ba Chi in shock and fear. In their hearts, Jian Yayi was already a prominent figure in the neighborhood, and Yu Ba Chi was even more of a great figure. Not to mention that they would not be able to reach that position in the future, even a few words with such a big figure would be enough to show off for several days.

Didn't Jian Yayi often say that he had a wide range of connections, but Yu Dianshi's attitude was wrong.

Jian Yamen was aware that the man by the window was quite important. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, I was deceived by Gou Zi and didn't know the truth. I was confused for a moment and offended your distinguished guest. I hope you will punish me."

Yu Ba Chi said, "Well, since you admit your guilt, you should be willing to be punished." Then he walked towards Jian Yamen.

Jian Yamen stared at Yu Ba Chi in amazement, thinking that I was retreating to advance, I was giving in. According to the rules of the officialdom, Yu Ba Chi should have reprimanded him and then arrested Gou Zi and others. He said he was punishing them but actually begging for mercy. Why did he rush over?

While Jian Yamen was stunned, Yu Ba Chi grabbed Jian Yamen's uniform with both hands and pulled it to both sides. With a swish, he tore the uniform in half, and then took it off in a few seconds, leaving only a pair of pants.

Yu Ba Chi threw away the torn yamen uniform and said, "From now on, you are no longer a yamen runner in Ning'an County!" Then he turned and went upstairs.

"I am not strict with my subordinates, please forgive me!" Yu Ba Chi said as he half-knelt on one knee, pressed his left hand on the ground, put his right hand on his knee, and lowered his head.

Gou Zi and others were not scholars after all, let alone yamen runners. They only knew that they were going to be unlucky, and they didn't know how serious the matter was.

Jian Yamen was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He stepped on empty air and fell on the stairs with a bang, rolling down.

Jian Yamen seemed to forget the pain while rolling down, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"It's over, it's over... The scholar only kneeled halfway to see the king, but even if the king came, Yu Ba Chi would not kneel so cleanly. Now there is only one person in Ning'an who can scare Yu Ba Chi to half kneel, Fang Yun Fang Xusheng! It must be him who disguised himself and went on a private visit! It's over, it's over..."

Jian Yamen fell heavily on the first floor, and his eyes were full of stars and his whole body was in pain. He wanted to faint, but after lying for a few breaths, he had to get up, then kneeled at the bottom of the stairs, leaned over, touched his forehead to the ground, and trembled.

The people on the first floor who were watching the excitement were uncertain, and some of them were so scared that they sneaked out.

Although the patrolling Yamen were not as good as the ninth rank, they were small officials in the eyes of the common people. Who dared not to show respect to the shopkeepers near Changbai Street? Even if the backer is a famous family, you can't look down on this kind of patrolling yamen runner.

It's better to manage the county magistrate now.

Moreover, this kind of person is a member of the court anyway. If the Dianshi does not follow the official process, he cannot be dismissed at will. But Yu Dianshi stripped the yamen runner's uniform on the spot, which shows that Yu Dianshi would rather break the court rules and get Jian Yaju out!

How big a mistake did Jian Yajue make? Who scared the ninth-rank Dianshi like this?

Some smart people quickly realized it.

"It's Xiao Fang... No, it's Fang Xusheng, it's Fang Xusheng who is visiting incognito!"

"Yes, yes, it must be Fang Xusheng!"

Ning'an people usually call him "Xiao Fang County Magistrate" to treat Fang Yun as their own family and appear close, but if Fang Yun is really here, they dare not say it.

"Quick, kneel down to His Majesty Xusheng!" The old man who sang the ditty pulled his granddaughter to kneel down to Fang Yun.

"Your Majesty Xu Sheng, spare my life!" Gouzi knelt down with a thud, and his forehead hit the floor of the second floor, making a bang, and dust fluttered to the first floor.

I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I wrote slowly today. I will make up for the next chapter during the day, sorry.
