"You're the one supporting them from behind?" A rather tall bailiff stood in front of Ye Kong. This fellow lowered his head and looked down at Ye Kong. His indifferent tone seemed to be very imposing.
Ye Kong didn't expect that a mere bailiff would dare to show off his authority. Even if he, the Eighth Young Master, was looked down upon by others in the Ye Mansion, this had never happened before. The Eighth Young Master of the Ye Mansion was still very good at intimidating people.
Ye Kong was unhappy in his heart. He turned his body sideways and snorted without even looking at him. "Who are you?"
Who doesn't know how to show off? Who's afraid of who? I'm better at it than you on Earth.
The bailiff did not get angry. With his hands behind his back, he raised his head and looked at the sky, using his nostrils to look at Ye Kong. It was as if he was saying, "Friend, what you're doing isn't acting cool, what I'm doing is acting cool.
The bailiff didn't say anything. Immediately, a young bailiff moved closer to Ye Kong's ear and introduced in a low voice, "Eighth Young Master, this is our Mayor's Mansion's newly appointed Bailiff Leader Tie. He's our Lord Chen's trusted aide …"
"Huh?" Yamen Tie was extremely dissatisfied with his subordinate's introduction.
The runner quickly said, "We, Yamen Tie, are upright, hate evil, and have great martial arts …"
"Okay, okay, there's no need to say more about my style. The gangsters in Nandu will know." Yamen Tie waved his hand with authority and rolled his eyes at Ye Kong. "You're Ye Kong, the evil young master of the Ye mansion who oppresses the people of Nandu?"
Ye Kong was very annoyed. I rarely go out, how did I become the evil young master of the Ye mansion? This was too much of a load of nonsense, distorting the truth.
Tie Yin Si used a big hat to scare Ye Kong. He was very pleased in his heart. Actually, he was here today to find trouble. He wanted to teach these local ruffians a lesson. Seeing that Ye Kong was just a kid, he looked down on him even more.
At the same time, in a room on the second floor of the Hidden Spring Building, a master and servant were looking down through the curtains. The master was a middle-aged dark man with a dignified face. He was slightly fat and had his hands behind his back. He walked with authority and was obviously an official.
Standing next to him was an old scholar. He was thin and wretched. He was waving a folding fan and said with a smile, "Master, this Old Tie is good. He's given this kid the title of evil young master. If word gets out, everyone will know that he's evil young master. He'll be evil even if he doesn't do evil."
"Haha, Advisor Shao, you think I don't know? You taught Old Tie this strategy. Good, good!"
The black face observing from above was the new Southern City Governor, Chen Qingfang. This person was famous for messing with people, and the number of officials who had been dismounted by him was countless.
The people of the An Kingdom didn't care if you were dealing with corrupt or honest officials. As long as the officials were taken down, they would feel psychologically balanced and happy. Thus, over time, Chen Qingfang actually had the good name of Chen Qingtian.
The emperor's purpose for sending Chen Qingfang to Nandu City was obvious. In the words of the earth, he was here to mess with Ye Haoran.
Chen Qingfang was also very good at playing tricks on people. He deeply understood the emperor's meaning and came to Nandu City with confidence. However, he found that it was not easy to mess with Ye Haoran.
The Ye family had a good reputation in Nandu City. The people still remembered General Ye's good deeds in exterminating the barbarians. Moreover, the children of the Ye family were very strict and did nothing too out of line.
Chen Qingfang was like a tiger biting a hedgehog. He had no place to bite when Ye Kong appeared.
Chen Qingfang knew the news of yesterday's fight a little late and did not make it in time. When he found out and inquired about the news, he found that the family of Fan Jiulong who was killed were not good people. The people were very angry. Ye Kong and the others could be regarded as punishing evil and promoting good.
He wanted to intervene on that day and give the other party the label of abusing private punishment and using weapons. However, now was not the time to clash with the Ye family. After all, Ye Haoran had not fallen yet.
If he took action, there would be no room for negotiation. Therefore, Chen Qingfang endured it. However, he felt wronged. He wore casual clothes and went to the Hidden Spring House to find a girl to spend the night to adjust his mood.
Unexpectedly, in the morning, just as he was about to leave, he met the Lu brothers and Liu Changqing. Chen Qingfang asked about it and was overjoyed. There was a chance. He could use this matter to test the Ye family.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to go back. The Iron Yamen and the advisor were also called by him.
Hearing that the Iron Yamen had labeled Ye Kong as the Young Ruffian, he was elated. As long as everyone in the southern city knew of this Young Ruffian's name, he would be able to give Ye Haoran the crime of "Indulging his son to commit murder, Young Ruffian with a notorious record" on the secret report.
However, how could Ye Kong let people put a bowl of sh * t on his head? He raised his head and rebutted the Iron Yamen with just one sentence.
"Oppressing the people and exploiting the villagers. I wonder if the Iron Yamen has any evidence?" Ye Kong asked.
There was no concept of the rule of law in Cangnan Continent. What the officials said was the law. There was no such thing as evidence.
The Iron Yamen snorted at Ye Kong and said disdainfully, "There is no evidence. This official only heard it. What are you going to do?"
"What am I going to do?" Ye Kong chuckled and put on a straight face, "You're talking nonsense. Don't blame me for slapping your mouth!"
After saying that, his hands moved like lightning. "Pa Pa", two slaps were sent over. That Yin Si Tie was also a martial arts expert, but facing Ye Kong's palms, he could not escape at all.
"You dare hit this official?" The Iron Yamen covered his swollen and hot face in disbelief.
"What kind of f * cking official are you!" Ye Kong went up and kicked his crotch again. The people behind him cheered.
"Awesome! Eighth Young Master is awesome. I'll follow Eighth Young Master in the future! "
"Beat the sh * tty official who spouts shit!"
"Nonsense. He deserves to be beaten for insulting Eighth Young Master!"
In a room in a building, Chen Qingfang slammed the table and said angrily, "How dare you! How lawless! "
The Iron Yamen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Old Master. In my opinion, this is a good thing. Beating an official of the imperial court in public proves this boy's reputation."
Chen Qingfang stroked his long beard and nodded with a smile, "That's reasonable. This boy is so arrogant. He's seeking death!" Then he said, "If the Iron Yamen is smart, he should rush out of the building and let the onlookers see the evil deeds of Ye's Young Master."
Of course, the Iron Yamen was not that smart. However, he still rushed out of the Hidden Spring Building. Because the Ye Family's soldiers were shouting, "Take down this person who insulted the young master!"
The Iron Yamen did not dare to stay any longer. He wanted to escape with a group of bailiffs. They rushed out of the building but were stopped by the guards at the door.
At this moment, the outside was already full of people. The people loved to watch a good show. The guards of Ye's Mansion and the bailiffs of the city guard were fighting in the brothel. The people nearby who heard the news all flocked to watch the show.
There were a lot of people gathered outside. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a sea of people. The private rooms of the surrounding restaurants and teahouses were even more busy. Everyone spread the news and watched the development of the matter. The onlookers were happy and excited.
"Take this guy down! Go and ask how the city guard discipline his subordinates! "
The guards of Ye's Mansion roared and surrounded the bailiffs. The crowd was so excited that the bailiffs were so scared that they trembled and looked bitter. "Brother Bing, brothers, we are also on official business."
"General Liu, General Liu, we have drunk wine before. Let's forget it today."
The guards of Ye's Mansion were very angry with these bailiffs who were looking for trouble. How could they let it go so easily? Liu Changqing waved his hand and said, "Go to hell. I didn't hear you say that you drank wine together. Take them all down!"
The official arrogance of Yamen Tie had disappeared. Seeing that he was about to be taken down, he finally had an idea — to ask for help from the crowd.
"Dear people! Did you all see that? The eighth young master of Ye's Mansion, Ye Kong, took his guards to prostitutes in broad daylight and violated military discipline. We couldn't stand it and said a few words. Then we were beaten. This evil young man beat an official of the imperial court and even wanted to punish him. My fellow villagers, please be witnesses! "
"Good!" Chen Qingfang, who was standing at the window on the other side of the House of Hidden Spring, patted the window frame again and shouted good.
"Old Iron's words not only confirmed this young man's reputation as an evil young man, but also let everyone witness that Ye Jiajun's military discipline is lax. Haha, wonderful!" The skinny teacher waved his folding fan and shook his head proudly.
Chen Qingfang laughed and said, "This young man from the Ye Family has done us a great favor."
The onlookers looked at Yamen Tie, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and began to discuss. "Yes, these soldiers are too arrogant. I originally thought that Ye Jiajun's military discipline was strict and he loved the people like his own children, but now it seems that's not the case."
"Who said it wasn't? Visiting prostitutes so early in the morning — how does this look like a soldier? "
"Also, how much pay do these soldiers get? They actually have the money to come to the House of Hidden Spring. Even I can't bear to come here. I have to check if they're corrupt! "
The people's discussion suddenly increased, and the more they talked, the louder they became. They were all criticizing the Ye Family's guards.
"Young man! You want to fight with me? You're still too young! " Yamen Tie covered his swollen face and looked at Ye Kong proudly. He thought, "Beat me? This is the price of beating me! "
This time, Ye Kong was really angry. He hadn't said anything to arrest them, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Arrest them all!"
The soldiers were originally just shouting slogans, but when they heard Ye Kong's order, they immediately pounced on them like wolves and tigers. In no time, they took down the group of black-clothed yamen runners.
"Good!" Chen Qingfang, who was upstairs, clapped and cheered. He wasn't the least bit worried that his own people had been arrested.
The advisor also laughed and showed off, "This young man is too reckless. He knows that the people already have an opinion of Ye Jiajun, but he still acts against the people's resentment and incites a revolt. Let's see how he explains this!" With that, he closed his fan and snorted coldly, "Foppish brat, he really doesn't know how to write the word 'death'!"
Sure enough, when the people saw the evil young ruffian soldiers committing murder on the streets, they all became indignant. The sounds of agitation became louder and louder, and the dense crowd surged forward. It seemed that it was about to cause public anger and a revolt.
But at this time, Ye Kong suddenly roared, "Everyone, please listen to me, Ye Kong!"
Ye Kong's voice was imbued with spiritual power, and it was much louder than the lion's roar of a martial arts master. It was like a thunderclap exploding in the air, causing the people's eardrums to ring. The chaotic scene suddenly quieted down. Thousands of eyes were staring at Ye Kong, waiting to see what he had to say.
