Chapter 108: Above the Court
Half an hour later, five strong men appeared at the book stall in front of Baiwenzhai.
The man in the lead was short and fat, walking with a turtle step, his short shirt was open, and his face was filled with a vulgar breath, and he looked like a terrible person.
Zhao Yan looked over with interest.
According to this kind of street gangster routine, you usually say a few harsh words first and then start to break up the stall.
Not far away, Lu Nianwei and Heiwa have already moved the bench, arranged snacks, and prepared to watch the show.
"Who asked you to sell books here? Has your consent from Mr. Biao?"
Liu Dazhong and Wu Zhi, who were standing at the door, looked at the short and fat man expressionlessly, but did not speak.
"I'll break your stall!"
The short and fat man quickly walked to the stall and reached out to hold the edge of the table.
"ah!"
A scream came, and the short and fat man instantly let go of his hands.
He looked down and saw that his palms were covered with blood and several barbs were tied.
Heiwa was so happy that the barbs under the table were exactly what Zhao Yan asked him to put.
The short and fat man was furious and immediately kicked the table. He thought he would kick the table down, but he never thought that the table did not move at all, and his legs were almost broken.
He looked down and saw that there were several large stones pressing on the legs of the table, which was obviously something that someone deliberately did.
At this time, Lu Nianwei and others looked at a long stick near the wall next to the book stall, and a bucket was supported on top of the stick.
Zhao Yan told everyone that the Xue family servants would definitely be stabbed by barbs first, then move the table, and finally take this long stick.
The first two items have been fully fulfilled.
The short and fat man who claimed to be Mr. Biao was furious and immediately looked at the long stick in the corner, then strode towards the long stick.
"Crash!"
The moment he grabbed the long stick, a bucket of leftover soup poured on his head, looking very embarrassed.
Heiwa and others couldn't help laughing. The mechanisms set up by Zhao Yan were completely hit.
"Demolition...disassemble their book shop for me!" the short and fat man almost roared.
Suddenly, the four strong men behind walked towards Baiwenzhai.
But the moment they walked to the door, four tall young men suddenly flashed out, then grabbed the arms of the four big men, and fell directly over the shoulder!
"Bang!"
An extremely crisp sound came from the street, and the four big men were directly thrown three meters away, so painful that they could no longer stand up.
The Great Zhou imperial guards may not be able to defeat the Northern Mongolian army, but there is still no problem in dealing with such gangsters.
The short and fat man was suddenly a little scared. Seeing the four people at the door, he couldn't help but look at Wu Zhi in confusion and said, "You actually dare to get involved with the people in the martial arts world. Do you want to rebel?"
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the so-called people in the martial arts world were basically prodigal sons who ignored the national laws. These people were unrestrained, did not follow the etiquette and law, and were often imprisoned. They were people that both the people and the government disliked them very much.
Wu Zhi immediately became confident and raised his chest and said, "Who do you care about me and me? If you can beat you, it will be considered a skill!"
The short and fat man clenched his fists, his face turned pale. Suddenly, he saw an officer patrol not far away, and immediately shouted: "Sir, I am Xue Biao, the butler of County Chief Xue, Xue Biao, someone is hitting people here!"
After hearing this, the five officials rushed over quickly.
In Daping County, people ask these officials to do business and must prepare all the food and drinks before they can speak.
Otherwise, I won't even see you.
When officials saw conflicts among the people, especially fighting, they usually hide away.
But this time, the person who asked for help was the Xue family. The five officials appeared in front of Baiwenzhai at a very fast speed.
The short and fat man said with a grievance: "Brother Sun, these people are committing murder and beating people in broad daylight. You must put them in prison and punish them severely."
The oldest official in charge in the lead looked around first, then nodded to Xue Biao.
"Ahem!"
Qi coughed dryly and said, "Who belongs to this book shop? Who beat them just now? Let me stand up."
Zhao Yan slowly walked out of the house and looked at the official and said, "The book shop belongs to mine, and I also let the people beat him, but we are defending ourselves. I don't know what the crime is?"
The official saw that Zhao Yan was extremely handsome and was obviously not an ordinary person. His eyes rolled and he said, "Practical defense? I clearly saw that these four people were injured, but you were unscathed!"
"They have too poor strength. Could it be that we are still blamed?" Zhao Yan spread his hands and said.
"Boy, don't be too arrogant. In Taiping County, I have a hundred ways to kill you!" the short and fat man said angrily.
Zhao Yan glanced at him lightly and ignored him at all.
The short and fat man looked at the official and kept winking at him.
The official thought for a while and said, "You guys, commit crimes in the street in broad daylight, follow me to the yamen!"
The short and fat man couldn't help but be overjoyed. When he entered the county government, wouldn't he have entered his own home?
Zhao Yan was about to meet the rumored Taiping County Magistrate Lou Zhide.
Immediately, Zhao Yan, Heiwa, Liu Dazhong, Wu Zhi, and the four imperial guards walked towards the yamen at the intersection of the street in front.
The county government office in Daping County is decorated very elegantly and uniquely. There is also a stone carving about two meters long and wide and carved with stones in the county courtyard.
At this moment, two rows of yamen runners stood in and out, shouting: Majestic!
Zhao Yan and Xue Biao and others walked into the hall separately and stood on both sides.
A little leaned over, a yawning county magistrate Lou Zhide came in.
Lou Zhide looked at the many people standing in the hall. Before he could sit down, he slapped the agglomeration and said loudly: "Who is complaining? Why don't you kneel when you see me?"
Zhao Yan and others looked at him calmly without any movement.
Xue Biao and others were also motionless.
"Bold! Why don't you kneel when you see me!"
Liu Dazhong took a step forward, handed out a hard-shelled paper seal document, and said, "I am a ruling in Hangzhou. I can't kneel if I see the county magistrate!"
The ruling in Hangzhou is a false position, and the official position is under the seventh rank, which is half a level lower than the magistrate of Lou. He can't kneel in the court, so the people around him naturally don't have to kneel down.
This is a position given by Zhao Yan to Liu Dazhong to facilitate his business.
County Magistrate Lou took the document with a hard-shelled paper seal, looked at it and said, "It's true, you can't kneel down!"
Xue Biao has studied hard-shelled paper sealing documents. When he saw the color, he knew that his official position was only seventh rank. Compared with the Xue family, he was like an ant shaking a big tree, and he couldn't help but become more confident.
Then, he looked at Xue Biao and others beside him and asked, "Why don't you kneel?"
Xue Biao was stunned and said, "Sir, take a closer look, I am Xue Biao!"
Chapter completed!
