"Ai Dian Shi, please have a seat."
Registrar Wang curiously looked at the uninvited guest, Ye Xiaotian. He really wanted to figure out his purpose of coming, but when Registrar Wang glanced at Monitor Zhou, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Squad Leader Zhou understood and immediately got up to speak to Ye Xiaotian, "Sir, this lowly one will wait outside."
After saying that, Squad Leader Zhou nodded to Register Wang and limped out with the help of crutches. After seeing Squad Leader Zhou leave, Register Wang frowned at Ye Xiaotian and said, "You still haven't given up?"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "I've always been like this. I won't turn back even if I hit the wall. If I knew that this matter would be so troublesome, I might have pretended to be deaf and mute. But since it's already happened, I can only walk this path to the end. It's not me to back down halfway. "
Register Wang slightly narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget who you are!"
Ye Xiaotian clapped his hands and said, "This is the wonderful thing. When everyone thinks that you're the real one, even if you're a fake, so what? If County Magistrate Meng jumps out and says that I'm a fake Warden, will anyone believe it? Even if all of you come forward to prove it, the people of Hulu County won't believe it. "
Register Wang bitterly smiled, but he also had to admit that Ye Xiaotian's words were very reasonable. When County Magistrate Meng promoted Ye Xiaotian to be the County's Warden, he never thought that Ye Xiaotian would be deeply loved by the people of Hulu County. At this time, unless Ai Dian Shi's relatives were invited to testify, anyone who accused Ye Xiaotian of being a fake would only be regarded as a crazy act to cover up for Qi Mu. County Magistrate Meng had really spun a cocoon of his own.
Ye Xiaotian said, "Registrar Wang, I'm not a real official, so I don't have the intention of getting promoted through meritorious service, nor do I have the intention of muddling through, nor do I have the need to cover up my mistakes. I just want to vent my anger. I'm not afraid of turning the Hulu County's officialdom upside down. I'm barefooted, why should I be afraid of Magistrate Meng, who wears shoes?"
Register Wang was silent for a moment, then said, "Then why did you come to me? You want me, the one with shoes, to help you, the one with bare feet? "
Ye Xiaotian said, "Not really. As far as I know, Register Wang and County Magistrate Meng have always been rivals, although sometimes they are also allies. When you were fighting for power, you were mortal enemies. But when you were dealing with Hua Qingfeng, the county's official seal officer, you were allies who advanced and retreated together. However, based on your current judgment, do you think that Governor Hua Zhi will be a threat to you just because he has some power? "
Register Wang did not blush at Ye Xiaotian's blunt words. His expression was calm, as if what Ye Xiaotian said was not something shameful. But when Ye Xiaotian mentioned Hua Qingfeng's name, his eyes showed a trace of contempt. That day in the court, when he saw Hua Qingfeng's disgraceful behavior, he was shocked to discover that the childish Magistrate Hua who had the courage to arm-wrestle him three years ago had become a complete coward.
Ye Xiaotian said, "I know that Register Wang relies on the support of the Yi and Miao tribes. But their roots are in the mountains. As long as the government's policies do not affect them too much, they will not interfere with Hulu County's affairs. But County Magistrate Meng is different. His roots are in Hulu County. With this, who do you think will be the biggest threat to you in the future?"
Register Wang smiled. "Ai Dian Shi's words are too blunt, but they are exactly what I am thinking. So … what do you want me to do? Help you deal with County Magistrate Meng? "
Ye Xiaotian said, "Of course I want to, even in my dreams. But I know you won't do it. You don't want to fight with County Magistrate Meng until both sides suffer. So, I only hope that you won't do anything!"
Register Wang was puzzled at first, but then he seemed to understand. "What do you want to do?"
As soon as he said this, Register Wang waved his hand. "Pretend I didn't ask. How confident are you? "
Ye Xiaotian shook his head. "How can I be confident? Man proposes, God disposes. That's all!"
Registrar Wang smiled faintly, "Understood! Then … go ahead and do it. "
Ye Xiaotian seemed to know that this was Register Wang's answer. He bowed slightly and said, "I am grateful for your hospitality."
Register Wang smiled. "Whether you die or he dies, I will be very happy. Of course I will be happy to watch from the sidelines. If it was him who died, I would be happier. So, as long as you can fight with him until both of you suffer, I will also help! "
Ye Xiaotian smiled. "Register Wang's words are a little too petty, but they are very much in line with my thoughts. Then … I will do my best to fight with him until both of us suffer! "
Register Wang laughed out loud. "Hahahaha, you are really a wonderful person. If you are really the Warden of this county, maybe we can be friends. "
Ye Xiaotian shook his head. "If I am the real Warden, the possibility of us becoming enemies is higher."
Registrar Wang thought for a moment, then sighed regretfully and said, "That's true."
Ye Xiaotian smiled. He stood up and bowed to Register Wang. "Goodbye!"
…
After leaving Register Wang's house, Ye Xiaotian went to the Cross Street with Monitor Zhou. The two of them were now famous people in Gourd County. There were very few people who didn't know them, and even those who didn't know them had at least heard about them. Just by looking at the "Tian Can and Di Que" pair, one could roughly guess who they were.
Everyone respected these two brave men who dared to challenge Qi Mu from the bottom of their hearts. However, Qi Mu now had the upper hand, so no one dared to show it. They could only use their eyes and polite movements to show it. In this way, the two men with crutches passed through the bustling crossroads. Everyone made way for them. It was truly awe-inspiring.
"Oh my god, Big Brother, you finally came. I've been waiting for you."
Luo Daheng, who was gesticulating and instructing the craftsmen to demolish two shops in preparation to rebuild the 'Big Sundry Goods Store', suddenly saw Ye Xiaotian arrive. He hurriedly walked up and led Ye Xiaotian through the dilapidated construction site to a small house that hadn't been demolished yet. He said to Ye Xiaotian, "It's the two of them. The two classmates you asked me to find have been waiting for you for a long time. If you didn't come, they would've started fighting."
Ye Xiaotian raised his head and saw two young men standing in front of the grocery store that had been torn apart like bulls. One of them was a handsome young man dressed in Miao attire. He was dressed in a short-sleeved shirt, with a long green cloth wrapped around his head and a green cloth belt around his waist. There was a sharp dagger without a sheath on his waist.
The other person wore a black, narrow-sleeved, slanted shirt with a right front, pleated, wide-legged trousers. His head was wrapped in a green and blue cloth, which was tied into a slender cone shape on the left front of his forehead. He also wore a string of yellow and red earrings with red tassels on his left ear. He also had a long, narrow, sharp knife on his waist.
Both of them were hugging their shoulders and glaring at each other in dissatisfaction. Ye Xiaotian hurriedly went forward and cupped his hands in greeting, "Both of you, I'm Ai …"
Before he could finish his sentence, the young man dressed in Miao attire suddenly turned to Ye Xiaotian and said mockingly, "I know you. Weren't you the one who carried Miss Zhan's skirt and escaped down the mountain like a general attacking a city?"
"Hahahaha, oh my god, I'm dying of laughter."
The damn fatty Law Tycoon burst out laughing, not giving his big brother any face.
Ye Xiaotian glared at him fiercely and turned to the young man dressed in Miao attire. He had just cupped his hands in greeting when the young man dressed in Miao attire patted his chest and said loudly, "My surname is Li, I'm Li Bohao! I heard you want to duel with me. Alright, you pick the place and I'll decide the time. Let's do it three days later. Tell me, where shall we duel! "
Ye Xiaotian was stunned. Duel? Do I have nothing better to do than to duel with you? Besides, with my current injuries …
Before he could speak, the handsome young man from the Yi family said proudly, "After he duels with you, he will become a corpse. What about me? I'm the first one here today, I'll go first! Hey, Ai, my surname is Gao, my name is Gao Ya. You want to duel with me? Fine, you decide the time and I'll choose the place. Let's do it at Wong Tai Sin Ridge. Tell me, when shall we duel? "
Ye Xiaotian was stunned again and vaguely understood something. He turned to look at Law Tycoon. Tycoon spread his hands innocently and said, "How can I lure these two beasts here if I don't use this reason?"
Li Bohao and Gao Ya were furious and glared at Law Tycoon. Li Bohao said to Law Tycoon, "You dare to insult me, I want to duel with you! You pick the place and I'll decide the time. Let's do it three days later. Tell me, where shall we duel? "
Gao Ya said angrily, "You decide the time and I'll choose the place. Let's do it at Wong Tai Sin Ridge. Tell me, when shall we duel?"
Tycoon scratched his head and asked curiously, "Brother Bohao, why do you always choose the time? Could it be that three days later is your auspicious day?"
Even though they were classmates, Li Bohao couldn't get used to Tycoon's thoughts. He was stunned for a moment before he said with a flushed face, "None of your business! Tell me, where shall we duel? "
Gao Ya chuckled coldly and said, "What auspicious day? His branch has given birth to nine sisters in his generation, and he's the only one left. The family treasures him like a baby. If he doesn't pick a good time, he won't be able to leave the house!"
Li Bohao flew into a rage out of humiliation and pointed his saber at Gao Ya. "You dare to insult me? I want to duel with you! You pick the place, and I'll decide the time. Let's do it three days later. Tell me, where shall we duel? "
Gao Ya did not back down and immediately drew his saber. "Do you think I'm afraid of you? Let's go to Wong Tai Sin Ridge! "
The curious Luo Daheng interrupted at the wrong time, "Ah! Speaking of duels, where can't we duel? Why did Brother Gao Ya choose Wong Tai Sin Ridge? What's the reason behind it? Could it be that Wong Tai Sin Ridge is your Fengshui Land? "
Li Bohao retorted, "Bullsh * t Fengshui Land, this kid chose Wong Tai Sin Ridge because …"
Gao Ya's face turned red and he shouted, "Don't say it! Or I'll fall out with you! "
Li Bohao sneered, "I fall out faster than flipping a book. You want to compete in falling out with me?"
Li Bohao said, "I want to duel with you!"
Gao Ya said, "I accept your duel!"
Ye Xiaotian looked at these two guys with excess testosterone and was overjoyed. These were the two people he was looking for. Although Tycoon's words were off the mark, he was quite reliable. Ye Xiaotian immediately went forward and cupped his hands. "Gentlemen, don't fight yet, I …"
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Ya and Li Bohao's blades were pointed at the tip of his nose.
Gao Ya said, "Oh right, you want to duel with me, right?"
Li Bohao said, "Go away! He wants to duel with me first! "
Luo Daheng said, "Ah, my two classmates, actually my big brother …"
Ye Xiaotian nodded with a smile and said, "That's right! I want to duel with you! "
Law Tycoon was stunned. Gao Ya was so excited that the two small pimples on his cheeks were glowing red. He said in unison with Li Bohao, "Okay! I accept your duel! "
Li Bohao said, "The time, I …"
Gao Ya said, "The location, I …"
Ye Xiaotian said, "I'll decide the method! Hehe, I mean … the method of the duel! "
Ye Xiaotian looked at the two youths who were full of fighting spirit like little roosters and smiled like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.
