Arrogant, he was simply too arrogant.
Among the younger generation of the capital, there wasn't a third person who dared to slap Duke Qin in front of everyone.
The reason why it was the third was because there was one person who wasn't in the capital.
However, there was only one person who could say, "Sorry, I got the wrong number" in such a nonchalant manner after the slap, and let the matter pass so easily.
If Wei Junliang still didn't know that this unfamiliar young man in front of him was someone he couldn't afford to offend, including Duke Qin, then he would have lived the first half of his life in vain.
However, while he understood, there were others who didn't.
"Arrogant, too arrogant!" A fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth slammed the table and stood up. He ordered the group of guards behind him, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring him to the authorities!"
Immediately, two guards walked over from behind and looked around. When they saw that the guards of the other young masters hadn't made a move, they couldn't help but freeze on the spot and didn't dare to step forward.
Wei Junliang's two guards were still lying on the floor. They didn't think they were stronger than those two.
If they insisted on putting on a strong front, they might end up like them.
"Wang Yue …" Someone beside him reminded him in a low voice.
Just by looking at Duke Qin's reaction, they knew that today's matter was beyond their control. How could an unrelated person from a branch of the Wang family act like a big shot at this time?
"Wang Yue?" Li Yi raised his brows and asked, "Which Wang family?"
The youth had a smug look on his face as he said loudly, "Luochuan Wang family! Do you dare to offend the Luochuan Wang family? "
The Qin family only relied on Prime Minister Qin. Without Prime Minister Qin, the Luochuan Wang family, which had a deep foundation, would far surpass the Qin family in terms of family wealth and influence.
As a super family that could stand up to the Cui family, there weren't many in the entire Jing Kingdom.
Of course, Wang Yue was only a junior from the branch of the Luochuan Wang family. His status in the Wang family couldn't be compared to the direct descendants like Wang Yong and Wang Dan. However, this didn't stop him from using the Wang family's name to scare outsiders.
Even in the capital city where heroes gathered, the words' Wang Clan of Luochuan 'could indeed shock a large group of people.
"Wang Clan?" Li Yi glanced at him and said, "Go ask Wang Yong and see if he dares to speak like this."
"You …" Wang Yue's face turned red. As a young man, he was unwilling to admit defeat. He pointed at Li Yi and shouted, "You'd better remember what you just said!"
For the time being, the group of playboys who didn't know the background of the person in front of them were all startled when they heard this.
From his words, it seems that he doesn't even care about the Luochuan Wang Clan?
Qin Yu glanced at him, turned around, and walked outside without a word.
At this moment, countless people widened their eyes.
Leaving just like that?
Did the dignified Young Duke Qin suffer that slap just now for nothing?
Li Yi stretched out a hand and blocked Qin Yu's path.
The corner of Qin Yu's mouth twitched. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go too far."
"You think it's not you just because you say it's not you?" Li Yi glanced at him. "If the Qin Clan wants an explanation, tell them to come find me in person."
Since he couldn't settle down anymore, he might as well tell some people directly that he was back!
Although he had left the capital for a long time, he wouldn't be bullied by the son of a mere assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Zeng Zuimo and Wan Ruoqing came up from downstairs. Zeng Zuimo tugged on his sleeve. Li Yi turned around with a smile and said, "It's fine now. Let's go down and eat."
Zeng Zijian's expression changed. He finally gritted his teeth and walked out of the crowd. He said in a low voice, "Zuimo …"
Slap!
Zeng Zijian's eyes widened. He covered one side of his face and looked at Li Yi in disbelief.
Li Yi looked at him and said coldly, "You think you can call me Zuimo?"
Zeng Zuimo tugged on his sleeve again and said in a low voice, "He's the son of assistant minister Zeng …"
So what if he was the son of assistant minister Zeng?
Could the son of assistant minister Zeng do whatever he wanted?
The son of assistant minister Zeng — the son of assistant minister Zeng should be Zeng Zuimo's cousin.
They didn't know each other. Li Yi waved his hand apologetically and said, "Sorry, I hit the wrong person again."
Countless people present were petrified upon hearing this.
Now, the price for beating up these playboys in the capital was so low …
Was that all they needed to say was an apology?
A flurry of footsteps came from downstairs. The officials were always one step late.
Earlier, when the situation was getting out of control, the owner of the restaurant had already sent a waiter to report to the authorities.
He couldn't afford to offend anyone here. Although he couldn't afford to offend the magistrate of the capital, he didn't know the magistrate of the capital, so he'd better leave this headache to him.
In fact, when County Magistrate Liu heard the news, he had already cursed all the female relatives of these playboys.
Damn it, had it been easy for him these days?
He was classified as County Marquis Li's faction and was ostracized by the King of Shu's faction everywhere. Without County Marquis Li, he didn't even have anyone to talk to. He had to deal with chores all day long. These bastards always caused trouble. If he didn't handle it well, he would be caught again. This magistrate of the capital was so useless!
He hurried into the restaurant and asked loudly, "Where is the person who beat up people?"
"Sir, over there." The owner immediately pointed upstairs.
"Who dares …" County Magistrate Liu strode up the stairs. He was about to raise his head and question when he suddenly stopped. His face lit up with joy. He quickly walked over and said in surprise, "Sir Li, when did you come back?"
Although it was more appropriate to call Li Yi County Marquis Li, he had gotten used to it when he was in Qing 'an Prefecture and had never changed it.
"I just came back a few days ago." Li Yi looked at County Magistrate Liu and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time. County Magistrate Liu, you're still as elegant as ever …"
Seeing that the capital official who had hurried over was actually talking about the old days with that young man, countless people at the scene were immediately dumbfounded.
Ceng Zijian was slapped, but at this moment, there was no hatred in his heart, only fear.
He knew why Young Duke Qin didn't dare to return the slap after being slapped. He also knew why that person could even ignore the Wang family of Luochuan. It was because he and these people were no longer on the same level!
He was the youngest Marquis in the Jing Kingdom, the Dean of the Academy, the teacher of the princes and princesses, the favorite of the Emperor, and even had the power to mobilize the Secret Intelligence Bureau. He was not a playboy, because the biggest playboy in the capital only relied on the blessings of his father's generation. When their father's generation saw him, they also had to give way to him!
County Magistrate Liu suppressed the joy in his heart and looked behind him. He asked, "Sir Li, the matter here …"
"The younger generation is insensible and needs the elders to teach and advise them. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will go astray in the future …" Li Yi waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter. There's no need to trouble Sir Liu. Let their elders take them back and discipline them well."
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table, including Ceng Zijian, changed their expressions.
He meant that all the people present today — none of them could leave!
If their elders came here to take them back, they would probably be turned upside down after they went back …
At this moment, County Magistrate Liu had already understood some meaning from Li Yi's words. He was secretly delighted. This time, County Marquis Li was really angry. It was a good opportunity for him to frighten those who secretly played tricks.
County Magistrate Liu waved his hand, and the yamen runners and constables behind him had surrounded the stairs. He smiled and stretched out his hand, saying, "Sir Li, please …"
Li Yi looked back at the two women and said, "Don't stand here. Let's go down and eat …"
Under the gaze of all the people in the building, they went down the stairs.
When passing by the shopkeeper, Li Yi looked at him discontentedly and asked with a frown, "What's the matter? It's been so long, but not a single dish has been served!"
The shopkeeper shuddered all over and immediately said, "I'll go and urge them right away! Right away!"
After saying that, he ran to the kitchen. He had already made up his mind that if the chef couldn't cook those dishes in 15 minutes, no, in 15 minutes, he didn't need to come here tomorrow!
