Chapter 1088

The onlookers, seeing that these two not only violated traffic rules but were also so arrogant,

were immediately boiling with indignation.

"What kind of people are they? How come they seem to think they are superior to others?"

"In Great Qin, even if you are a noble, you have to keep your tail between your legs!"

"These two, looking at their age, how can they be so stupid?"

"Flaunting privileges, are they not aware of Great Qin's strict laws?"

"A pair of idiots!"

Almost one-sided accusations, some of which were quite intense.

This made Old Li explode with rage instantly.

When had he ever been accused like this by a group of commoners?

Still rebelling?

"You group of lowly people, all shut up!

When is it your turn to speak recklessly here and talk about laws?

I am deliberately violating traffic rules, what can you do to me?"

As soon as Old Li said this, it exploded.

The onlookers wouldn't have it, and the voices of condemnation were ten times stronger than before!

Even the flag-waver couldn't stand it and wanted to give these two a good beating.

But he still restrained his emotions and kept his duty in mind.

"Everyone, don't be impulsive; hand them over to the Imperial Guard!

Just now it was only violating traffic rules, but now it's the crime of disturbing the peace!

I believe the Imperial Guard will discipline these two well!"

Hearing the flag-waver bring up the Imperial Guard, the scolding around them quieted down a bit.

It seems the Imperial Guard's reputation among Great Qin commoners was still very high.

Fang Xuanling was a bit panicked and wanted to pull Old Li to leave quickly.

However, at this time, how could they escape?

The commoners all around surrounded them tightly, not giving them any chance to run away.

The Imperial Guard arrived!

As soon as the Imperial Guard arrived, the scolding all around disappeared.

Old Li and Fang Xuanling also breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the commoners, they felt the Imperial Guard was more amiable, at least they didn't have to be scolded.

They were Great Tang envoys, so the Imperial Guard couldn't punish them.

They would still have to obediently send them back to the official guesthouse later.

They followed the Imperial Guard away from this place of right and wrong.

Old Li quietly said to Fang Xuanling.

"Minister Fang, why are Great Qin's commoners so fierce?

If it were in Great Tang, as long as we revealed our identities and intimidated them a bit, they wouldn't dare to speak."

"But the Great Qin commoners look as if we had demolished their houses!"

Fang Xuanling said thoughtfully.

"Old Li, I also have this feeling; it's very strange.

It's as if Great Qin's commoners all regard themselves as the masters of this country, while Great Tang commoners feel like they are living under someone else's roof in this country.

Perhaps it's this difference in mentality?"

Old Li carefully chewed on these words, and the more he thought, the more flavor he found.

At this time, the Imperial Guard also brought them to the Chang'an County government office.

"Violating traffic rules, provoking trouble, disturbing the peace; multiple crimes punished together.

Sentence: fifteen days of imprisonment!"

Ah?

Old Li and Fang Xuanling were panicked.

They were on a mission to Great Qin and had important things to do.

Moreover, they were prepared to return to Great Tang territory at any time to clean up the mess in Jin Ling.

If they were imprisoned, how could they handle things?

"County Magistrate, wait!

We are envoys from Great Tang, and you have no right to imprison us.

You can ask the Ministry of Rites, and they will tell you."

The County Magistrate rolled his eyes.

"Great Qin's laws apply to everyone equally!

Men, take them into custody!"
