Before he finished his sentence, Chen Pipi walked in. He looked thinner than usual, but no matter how thin he was, he was still a fatty, especially when compared to Tang Xiaotang beside him.
Cui Xiu could not help but shiver when he heard that. He was about to say something polite and leave, but Chen Pipi did not give him the chance. He grabbed his collar and shouted, "Get lost!"
Cui Xiu turned pale with fright. However, he soon realized something strange. The force on his neck was not strong, but the fatty's face was red, and it was obvious that he had used all his strength.
So it turned out to be a scholar without the strength to truss a chicken? Naturally, he was not from the legendary Second Floor. At most, he was an ordinary student of the Academy. As a bigwig of the Cui Family in Qinghe County, Cui Xiu was not afraid of an ordinary student of the Academy. He was ashamed and angry when he thought of his previous fear. He shouted, "How dare you! How dare you commit violence! Guards! "
The door of the Scholar's Mansion opened to welcome Chen Pipi and Tang Xiaotang. Before the door was closed, the stewards and servants of the Cui Family, who were waiting on the street outside the mansion, heard their master's scolding and rushed in.
Chen Pipi found that he could not move them and could not help but feel ashamed. He let go of his hand awkwardly and looked back at Tang Xiaotang. He said, "I don't want to lower myself to their level."
Tang Xiaotang sighed and turned to the fierce stewards and servants. She rolled up her sleeves and said, "I can't do all the physical work in the future, can I?"
A series of clear sounds rang out in the courtyard. The stewards and servants of the Cui Family, who had rushed into the Scholar's Mansion, did not even realize what was happening before they were knocked to the ground and cried out in pain.
The goal of the girl from the Devil's Doctrine was to become the strongest woman in the world. It did not take much effort to deal with these stewards and servants. It was clean and neat, and could even be described as refreshing.
Cui Xiu's expression changed when he saw his servants with broken legs and bleeding in pain. He knew that something was wrong and was about to reveal his identity. However, he did not expect Tang Xiaotang to be more decisive and decisive than Chen Pipi. She grabbed his neck and threw him out of the mansion's wall like a chick.
Cui Xiu's body flew over the wall and landed on the ground. He didn't know which leg of his was broken, but he almost fainted from the pain.
Then, Tang Xiaotang threw all the people who had rushed into the Scholar's Mansion out. However, the stewards and servants did not receive the same treatment as Cui Xiu. Instead, she kicked them out of the wall like stones. There were sounds of air being pierced, and there were screams and bangs.
Chen Pipi was envious when he saw Tang Xiaotang kicking people like stones. He wished he could change to the Devil's Doctrine. but he was also a little afraid of the future. He had mixed feelings.
Zeng Jing and his wife looked at the scene in front of them and could not help but shake their heads and smile bitterly. They knew that their daughter and Ning Que's son-in-law were not ordinary people, but they did not expect that this young and adorable girl would have such great strength and be so decisive.
"Mr. Twelve, thank you for taking care of us for the past year."
Zeng Jing said to Chen Pipi gratefully.
At this moment, Chen Pipi was ashamed of his inferiority. He did not dare to accept Zeng Jing's words as he usually did. He waved his hands and said, "When Ning Que was in the Wilderness, I was responsible for taking care of Sangsang. Now I don't know where they are playing, so I will take care of you two. But I will leave Chang 'an for a while, so I brought my … niece here. She will take care of everything in the mansion in the future. As you can see, she is much stronger than me, and she is very close to Sangsang. You don't have to be so polite."
Zeng Jing was a little surprised. He thought that the sublime people on the Second floor of the Academy rarely left the mountain, so why did Mr. Twelve have to travel so far away? He asked Chen Pipi a few questions, but Chen Pipi just answered casually and did not want to explain in detail.
…
…
The people of the Cui Family from Qinghe Prefecture were kicked out of the Grand Secretary's Mansion by Tang Xiaotang. Logically, they should have helped each other or left in a carriage to treat their injuries. But Tang Xiaotang's methods were not so simple. Several guards who were famous for their bravery tried several times but could not stand up. Their faces were extremely pale from the pain.
The Grand Secretary's Mansion was located in the noble area of the North City. The people who lived on both sides of the street were either high-ranking officials or nobles. It had always been quiet and solemn. Suddenly, there were more than a dozen injured people screaming on the street, which shocked many people. Someone sent a message to the Chang 'an Local Government, asking the local government to send someone to see what had happened.
If it was an ordinary street fight, the Chang 'an Local Government would at most send a supervisor. But when he heard that it was related to the Grand Secretary's Mansion, Shangguan Yangyu's triangular eyes suddenly narrowed.
As the prefectural magistrate of Chang 'an City, he certainly knew which bigwig lived in that mansion. The Grand Secretary of the Imperial Library, even though he had resigned more than half a year ago, was not someone he could take lightly. So he had to go there himself.
When he arrived at the gate of the Grand Secretary's Mansion, Shangguan Yangyu suddenly felt very regretful when he found out that the injured people were from the Cui Family from Qinghe Prefecture. He thought that if he had known this earlier, he would have used the excuse of being seriously ill or escaping the death of his mother. How could he be stuck between the big families of Qinghe Prefecture and the Grand Secretary, Zeng Jing?
The position of prefectural magistrate of Chang 'an City was extremely important and difficult. Shangguan Yangyu had been able to sit in the position for so many years and had so much money in his hands. He relied on the four words "slippery hands" and "smoothing things over". Seeing that he could not get out of this situation, he began to think about how to smooth things over today. He first sent his subordinates to help Cui Xiu into the carriage for treatment, and then prepared to enter the mansion to ask for some mercy from the Grand Secretary.
Just then, Zeng Jing sent Chen Pipi and Tang Xiaotang out of the mansion, and they met at the gate of the mansion. Shangguan Yangyu looked at the handsome fat man and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He remembered the case of the handmaiden of the Old Brush Pen Shop harboring a fugitive two years ago in the Chang 'an Local Government.
That year, Lord Shangguan first used illness as an excuse, and then knocked himself unconscious with a stick to get out of this case. It was not until a long time later that he knew that the handmaiden of Mr. Thirteen of the Academy was actually the separated daughter of the Grand Secretary, Zeng Jing. And it was a fat man from the Academy who took the handmaiden away in front of Zhuge Wuren and Wang Jinglue of the Imperial Center Administration in the Chang 'an Local Government …
Shangguan Yangyu felt cold all over, and thought that it was fortunate that he did not have time to smooth things over. He first bowed to Zeng Jing the Grand Secretary, and then suddenly turned around and sternly scolded his subordinates, "What are you still doing? Hurry up and bring these bad people back! "
The yamen runners and constables of the local government were instantly dumbfounded, thinking that when had their lord been so righteous? Even if the Grand Secretary was not someone to be trifled with, this was the Cui Family of Qinghe County, and his attitude was extremely gentle before.
Although they were cursing in their hearts, there was no reason not to obey the lord's order. A yamen runner walked forward and pulled Cui Xiu off the carriage. He took out the iron chain and was about to tie him up.
Cui Xiu was shocked and speechless. He thought that the prefectural magistrate's expression was extremely gentle when he revealed his identity. Why did he suddenly change his attitude?
Chen Pipi looked simple and honest, but in fact he had a crystal heart. How could he not understand Shangguan Yangyu's meaning? He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Lock these people up. They are not allowed to come out until I return to Chang 'an."
Tang Xiaotang glanced at him and thought that he might be gone for two or three years on this long journey. Did he want the Chang 'an Local Government to lock these people up for two or three years?
Cui Xiu understood at this time that he had really met a big shot, and that the other party was very likely to be a teacher from the Second floor of the Academy. He did not want to be taken advantage of, and said repeatedly, "It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. I guess you don't know that I'm …"
He had thought that even if the other party was from the Second floor of the Academy, he would not humiliate the Qinghe County families that had been passed down for thousands of years if he revealed his family background in front of so many people.
However, he did not expect that Chen Pipi did not even bother to listen to him. He waved his hand and said, "Youngest Brother once said in the letter that there are a bunch of idiots in Qinghe County. Do I have any interest in knowing?"
Cui Xiu only felt a tightness in his chest, and the pain in his foot seemed to have suddenly intensified. His face turned pale.
Shangguan Yangyu stood beside Chen Pipi and stroked his three strands of messy beard. He said awkwardly, "The laws of the Tang Empire are iron-clad and cannot be violated. How can the Academy be an exception? The Chang 'an Local Government can't lock people up at will. "
Chen Pipi knew that he was a smart person, but he did not have time to play tricks. He said, "Breaking into the mansion and attempting to murder an imperial court official, you can just find any law to use. Don't tell me you don't know how to do it."
Shangguan Yangyu almost pulled his beard off. He said with a bitter smile, "If I filter it carefully, I might filter out more than a dozen crimes. I don't know which one to use."
Chen Pipi asked, "What's the severity?"
Shangguan Yangyu was a scoundrel, despicable, and vulgar, but he did have some ability. He said casually, "Attempting to murder an imperial court official, even if he failed, he should be beheaded, or banished for three thousand miles. If he is accused of breaking into a private house, the heaviest punishment is imprisonment in the mine for three years. If he is accused of framing …"
Chen Pipi's eyes brightened when he heard three years in the mine. He said, "This is good."
Shangguan Yangyu said helplessly, "But the Grand Secretary's Mansion is not a private house."
Grand Secretary Zeng Jing, who had been silent at the side, looked at Cui Xiu, who was sitting on the ground beside the carriage with a pale face. He gradually felt happy, but his face was still expressionless. He suddenly said, "I have already resigned, so naturally it is a private house."
Shangguan Yangyu's expression didn't change, but his heart was in turmoil. He thought to himself that the Grand Secretary was known for his simple life and gentle temperament, but he didn't expect that he would stab someone in the waist with just a few words. It was really amazing. It seemed that he was not thick-skinned enough, and acted too rigidly and mechanically. If he wanted to continue to climb up, he had to learn more from these old officials …
Not to mention the prefectural magistrate's knowledge of officialdom, Cui Xiu knew that the three people in front of the mansion had casually sentenced him with a few words. He couldn't help but turn pale. He knew that with his identity, he would definitely not be sent to the mine, but his followers might not be able to escape this fate.
