The brawny man in brown was stunned. He and the three people behind him were convulsing with laughter. The singing grandfather and grandson duo were so scared that they signaled Fang Yun with their eyes, telling him not to provoke these people. Speak.
The waiter in the restaurant hurriedly walked over with a smile and stood in front of the brawny man in brown, "Lord Dog, why are you arguing with them? Let's go, I've prepared braised meat for you downstairs. Go down and try it. It's all freshly cooked and tender. It's much better than the ones on their table. "
Lord Dog looked at the waiter from head to toe. His face suddenly turned cold and he said with contempt, "Who do you think you are? You're just a waiter in a restaurant. How dare you block my way? Scram! "
Lord Dog slapped the waiter's face. The waiter staggered and almost fell to the ground.
The waiter covered his face and looked at Lord Dog. There was only fear in his eyes. He didn't dare to show a trace of hatred.
"What, do you still dare to do it?" Lord Dog raised his chin with a mocking expression.
"It's my fault." The waiter silently retreated.
"At least you know what's good for you!" Lord Dog looked at Fang Yun.
Who knew that Fang Yundao would say, "Second, if there's a criminal causing trouble, you can sound the gong and call for the patrolling guards. Go."
The waiter looked at Fang Yun with a troubled expression.
Lord Dog and the three men laughed again. After laughing, Lord Dog looked at Fang Yun condescendingly and said, "You want to report to the authorities? It seems that a newcomer like you doesn't know what the surname of Long White Street is. Two, immediately sound the gong for help and summon the patrolling guards. I want to see how Brother Jian is going to deal with me! "
The shop assistant revealed a shocked expression and said, "Master Dog, it's enough to just let him apologize. Why did you have to ask Master Jian to come?"
"What, you think that the slap was too light?" Lord Dog looked at the waiter playfully.
"… It's my fault. I'll go and find Master Jian." The waiter helplessly lowered his head. Before he left, he gave Fang Yun a look.
Fang Yun knew that the waiter wanted him to leave quickly. He felt that the waiter was not bad.
Lord Dog crossed his arms and looked at Fang Yun with a smile, "You're not dressed well. He was so generous. He probably had his eyes on Butterfly. His taste was not bad. I'm a reasonable person, so I won't make things difficult for an outsider like you. Give me twenty taels of silver and I'll let this matter go. "
"Let's wait for the patrolling officers to come," Fang Yun said indifferently.
"You're pretty stubborn, aren't you? Good, I like to treat this disease! "As soon as Lord Dog finished speaking, the gong sounded.
"Don't run if you dare! I'll go down to welcome Brother Jian. Watch carefully! "Lord Dog dragged himself downstairs.
Not long after, noises came from the first floor, followed by the sound of someone going upstairs.
"Brother Jian. That person was right here. A foreigner dressed in coarse clothing actually dared to cause trouble for the people of Ning 'an, and even looked for you. What a joke. Who on Changbai Street didn't know of the friendship between the two of them? Brother Jian and I grew up naked together! "Lord Dog's voice was as loud as a bell, and his face was full of smiles.
Yamen Runner Jian, who was walking in front, smiled and said, "Leave this matter to me. A foreign scholar without a scholarly rank dares to cause trouble on Changbai Street. Do you think that I, a Yamen Runner on patrol, am not here?"
"Yes. It's all thanks to County Magistrate Fang's good judgment. I'll appoint you as a Yamen Runner on patrol. You'll be different from ordinary Yamen Runners! "Lord Dog said.
Yamen Runner Jian's eyes flashed and he chuckled. He didn't reply.
Upstairs, Ao Huang turned his head and looked at Fang Yun in confusion.
Fang Yun shook his head, indicating that he didn't personally appoint this Yamen Runner. He wasn't in charge of a Yamen Runner's position.
Ao Huang revealed a smirk and looked at the stairs.
He saw a middle-aged Yamen Runner's uniform walk up first. This person was expressionless. He quickly glanced at Fang Yun and Ao Huang, and his gaze became relaxed. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Dog, are these the two people?"
"Yes, these two." Lord Dog stood behind Yamen Runner Jian, puffing out his chest and raising his head, looking very impressive.
"Are you the ones causing trouble here?" Yamen Runner Jian raised his head and looked down at Fang Yun and Ao Huang.
Fang Yun raised his head and looked at Yamen Runner Jian with interest. He slowly said, "Hello, as a citizen of Jingguo, I request that you enforce the law impartially and arrest this local ruffian who calls himself Dog. Not only did he maliciously insult the grandfather-grandson duo, but he also extorted twenty taels of silver from me. The child beside me, the guests downstairs, and the people in the teahouse are all witnesses. "
Yamen Runner Jian smiled coldly and said, "Why did I hear Dog say that you were the one who insulted him first? Then, you scolded everyone in Ning An County and even stole the woman he liked."
Fang Yun said loudly, "Everyone downstairs, do you dare to testify for me and seek justice?"
The restaurant fell into a moment of silence. Then, someone on the first floor shouted, "What's a ruffian doing? My friend, I and my deskmate can testify that we heard that Lord Dog was the one who caused trouble for you and extorted twenty taels of silver from you. "
"Who!" Dog was furious.
"I'm just an outsider who saw injustice."
"Don't leave if you have the guts!"
"Don't worry, I won't leave. If you have the guts, come with us to the county yamen. I want to see if you dare to say such things in front of Fang Xusheng!" The guest's tone was full of disdain.
Yamen Runner Jian's expression changed.
Dog looked downstairs and did not dare to refute. He was afraid that mentioning Fang Xusheng would cause trouble.
Fang Yun had accumulated a lot of power.
Another person on the first floor said, "Others are afraid of you, Dog, but I'm not. I'm also from Ning An County. I can testify that Dog was the one who insulted others first. I followed him from the teahouse. Let's not bring this matter to the county yamen. Even if we go to the throne room, we won't be afraid! "
Dog laughed coldly and said, "Shopkeeper Yang, we're enemies now. I'll have to take care of your shop in the future."
"That's good. If you don't take care of my shop, I'll go beat the drum in front of the county yamen and let County Magistrate Fang be the judge. Oh right, my son listened to County Magistrate Fang's lecture. There are more than five hundred people in this year's national exam. In two years, he'll definitely pass the exam. Lord Dog, remember to come and have a drink. "
Gou 'zi furrowed his brows and said, "Don't try to scare me with your bullshit son! Brother Jian, look, you dare to say such things here. The people on Long White Street are going to revolt! "
Yamen Runner Jian said, "Fang Xusheng handles things fairly. He empathizes with the people and us yamen runners. This kind of thing will not disturb Fang Xusheng. It's not even a street fight. It will only be handled by the torture chamber. Although I'm not a big shot, I'm still promoted by Gong Zongshu. Gong Zongshu has a good personal relationship with Librarian Yu. I don't think I need to tell you what kind of person Librarian Yu is. "
Dog quickly added, "Librarian Yu is Fang Xusheng's man. He's the first official promoted by Fang Xusheng in Ning An County. Even the governor has to treat him well when he sees him!"
The restaurant was silent. They didn't expect Yamen Runner Jian to be one of Fang Yun's men.
Ao Huang shook his head and said, "I thought I was stupid enough. I didn't expect this idiot to betray his superiors. A dog has cheated half of the yamen's people."
"You what!" Dog wanted to rush forward and hit Ao Huang, but was stopped by Yamen Runner Jian.
Yamen Runner Jian looked coldly at Fang Yun and said, "I'm not talented. I'm indebted to Gong Zongshu for taking care of this street. If I can't even protect my own brother, I won't have the face to stay in Ning An County. Brother, don't make it difficult for me. If you're wrong, just admit it. As for the money, just pay. "
Fang Yun looked calmly at Yamen Runner Jian and asked, "Protect? Did Mister Yao Yu teach you the human language? You don't protect the weak people, but you protect local bullies? Who gave you the guts? Who gave you the right? "
