Chapter 112: Gentle Gentleman

"You dog-shoving bitches, are you trying to rebel against heaven!"

Xiao Yu finally saw the "legendary Zhu Yitao" in person.

His appearance wasn't bad.

Wearing official boots, nearly one meter nine tall, square face, wide mouth, thick eyebrows... uh, he was angry right now, his eyes wide open, actually not that big.

He had neatly trimmed whiskers on his face, looked dignified, and had quite a bit of majesty.

Upon learning of the arrival of the madam army from Clear Water Bay, he wasn't scared at all; instead, he was furious, lifted the hem of his official robe with his right hand, ran out of the government office quickly, rushed to Aunt Liu, and cursed.

"You low-class, mean goods, not only publicly beat the official runners carrying the warrant, snatched the warrant I signed and stamped, but also dared to gather a crowd to charge the county government office; have the parts that should grow eggs all grown into guts?"

Zhu Yitao looked dignified, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was even smellier than Aunt Liu's.

There were so many people on the street, and he cursed directly, and cursed so vulgarly, but he didn't feel it at all.

Xiao Yu looked around; except for Aunt Liu, whose pretty face was flushed with anger, no one else found it strange.

It's no wonder; being cursed by him could be ranked alongside being beaten with clamps and boards as the "Seven Bowls of Zhu Yitao."

"Magistrate, you should accumulate some virtue in your mouth!" Aunt Liu put her hands on her hips and retorted impolitely: "Maybe our group of mean goods were also sitting in the eight-seated sedan chair and ranked among the ministers in our previous lives, with the five departments and six ministries diligently flattering us, but we were used to spraying dung from our mouths, had our eggs cut off by Yama, and were reincarnated into the brothel to be mean goods who are insulted by others."

Zhu Yitao was so angry that he rolled his eyes, pointed at Aunt Liu's nose and cursed: "Good stubborn woman, if I were to scold you on the street, it would seem that I have no means.

Come here, lock this mean woman up and slap her fifty times first."

The government office runners behind were hesitant, not daring to disobey the magistrate's order, but also somewhat afraid of the black mass of madam army behind Aunt Liu.

"Magistrate Zhu, on what grounds do you take me, on what grounds do you beat me? If you want to show off your official power, you have to give us brothel women an explanation." Aunt Liu shouted.

An old madam behind her immediately echoed: "That's right, it's okay to scold us as mean brothel women, but if you want to use the warrant to beat our mouths, you have to give a Shu Kingdom law that can convince people."

"Zhu Yitao, you are destroying the rules of the Teaching Division, we are going to Yingxiang Mansion to sue the prefect."

"Zhu Yitao, you bully the common people, Grandpa City God will take you sooner or later!"

"Zhu Yitao, we don't accept it!"

Those who can be madams won't have weaker tongue-fighting power than five hundred ducks.

More than a hundred madams were firing at Zhu Yitao.

Zhu Yitao's forehead muscles were visibly jumping, "You don't accept it, right? Lock them all up, I'll let you see what 'Zhu Yitao' is today!"

The registrar was sweating profusely, squeezed over in a panic, and whispered in Zhu Yitao's ear: "Master, please soften your attitude a little; there are too many of them."

Zhu Yitao cursed: "Are you a pig brain? This group of brothel women are rebelling and charging the government office, and you still want me to soften my attitude; do you think I'm dough?"

Aunt Liu frowned, raised her hand and shouted: "Sisters!"

At her command, the madam army immediately quieted down.

Even Zhu Yitao was startled and looked over in surprise.

Aunt Liu stared into Zhu Yitao's eyes and continued: "Sisters, today we are reasonable and have evidence, but the magistrate is unreasonable and illegal.

So we must fight the lawsuit uprightly.

We cannot let some people muddy the water and let outsiders mistakenly think we are rioters charging the government office!"

Zhu Yitao sneered: "Good good good, I'll give you a chance to see how you are reasonable and have evidence."

He flicked the hem of his official robe and shouted: "Ascend the hall!"

Zhu Yitao sat behind the desk with a cold face; Aunt Liu only bent her knees to salute and did not kneel.

"Magistrate, look, this is the document for the Red Sleeve Workshop to purchase Xu Hui'er."

Aunt Liu handed a document to the government office runner, and the government office runner placed it on the magistrate's desk.

"When the Red Sleeve Workshop purchased Xu Hui'er, Xu Hui'er had already entered the mean register and was already a girl in the brothel."

Zhu Yitao only glanced at the document without looking closely.

"I don't need to look; you group of accumulated madams, how could you show flaws in documents.

I won't ask about your crime of forcing good women into prostitution.

You beat Tong Shuisheng, Tong Huowang, and other official runners carrying the warrant; this is a fact.

You gathered a crowd to make trouble and threatened the county official; this is also a fact.

You cursed this official on the street; this is still a fact.

Just for these few points, I can sentence you old brothel woman to be paraded in a cangue and beaten with thirty iron rods; do you accept it?"

Aunt Liu took out another document and said: "Is this warrant signed by the magistrate?"

This time Zhu Yitao read it carefully and said: "Now it's good, snatching the warrant, evidence is conclusive!"

Aunt Liu said: "Magistrate, don't be in a hurry to convict me; first ask how Tong the Head Runner enforced the law with the warrant."

Zhu Yitao frowned, "Tong the Head Runner, where are you? This old brothel woman wants to confront you!"

"Reporting to Master, the two Tong Head Runners are in the back hall bandaging their wounds!" a government office runner said.

Zhu Yitao sighed: "Don't blame me for being heartless; this old brothel woman is clearly trying to sue them and then accuse me of unclear law enforcement."

The government office runner retreated, and in a while, the two Tong Head Runners with white gauze wrapped around their heads came.

Aunt Liu looked at the Tong Head Runners and said: "Although we are not on the same path, we all understand the rules of the path.

Today it wasn't me who actively broke the rules; it was you who forced me to have no choice."

Then she told the story of the government office runners taking silver, internally bidding for the warrant, and then taking the warrant to extort the suspect's family.

"Magistrate, look, the warrant only said to redeem Xu Hui'er. It's fine that the Tong brothers didn't take money to redeem the person, but they also threatened me, saying they would beat me with boards.

You also understand the Red Sleeve Workshop; the Red Sleeve Workshop belongs to the Teaching Division, belongs to the imperial court, and is not opened by me.

Three hundred strings of large money, all belong to the imperial court, to the monarch!" Aunt Liu shouted excitedly.

Zhu Yitao's expression was tangled; he turned to the Tong brothers and asked: "Did she lie?"

"Aunt Liu is lying! We didn't say we would beat her with boards; it was the brothel women of the Red Sleeve Workshop who shouted randomly," Tong the Elder said hurriedly.

His face and mouth were wrapped in gauze, and he twitched in pain when he spoke, his voice buzzing.

Zhu Yitao sighed: "Perhaps it was the brothel women who shouted randomly, but you didn't deny it, didn't take out the warrant in the first place... sigh, thirty boards each, first recorded in the account, wait until the wounds on your faces heal before beating."

Aunt Liu immediately smiled: "Master is wise."

"I am naturally wise, but you are in the mean register and dared to beat official runners; no matter what the reason, it is a big crime.

You choose yourself, twenty boards, or thirty slaps," Zhu Yitao said.

Aunt Liu's expression stiffened, and she said: "It was Tong Huowang who drew his sword first, the Red Sleeve Workshop guards didn't use weapons, just smashed him with bricks."

Zhu Yitao's face twisted into a ball again, he turned to the Tong brothers and asked: "It was just letting you go to redeem someone, and you were facing a group of brothel women; you group of big men, why draw your swords?"

Tong Huowang shouted anxiously: "Didn't draw the sword—"

Under Zhu Yitao's cold and sharp gaze, he shrank his neck and said in a low voice: "Only gripped the sword handle, drew half..."

Zhu Yitao threw out two sign sticks and shouted: "I take back the pity just now; beat them now, right here under the Danchi, thirty sticks, not one less!"

"Master~~" The Tong brothers wailed.

"If you shout again, I'll give you the 'Seven Bowls'," Zhu Yitao shouted.

The Tong brothers didn't make a sound.

Seeing Aunt Liu's smug smile, Zhu Yitao said coldly: "Old brothel woman, you continue to choose, fifteen boards, or twenty-five slaps!"

Aunt Liu stopped smiling, "I am innocent, why beat me?"

"You scolded me for not having eggs in the next life and for being a brothel woman; you should be beaten!" Zhu Yitao said.

Aunt Liu argued: "It was you, Magistrate, who insulted people first."

"I am the master, you are a brothel woman; I scold you, it is justified, you scold me, it is a heinous crime."

Seeing Aunt Liu's face flushed with anger, about to shout again, Zhu Yitao waved his hand and said: "You stand on the side first, watch how I judge the others. Perhaps after a while, you will be calm."

Then he threw two sign orders down the hall and said: "Take my official order, go to the City Defense Camp and find General Zhang Shoucheng, just say there are villains in Xianghe and Bu Si Gui who want to kill officials and rebel."

Aunt Liu's expression stiffened, and the anger in her heart was mostly replaced by shock and absurdity.

——Zhu Yitao is crazy, it's just a counterfeit silver case, there are countless cases every year, is it worth mobilizing the City Defense Camp?

And killing officials and rebelling...

You have to know that because of the Thousand-Hand Saint Thief, the City Defense Camp had long been taken over by the Double-Spear General Chen Taiping and the Feather Forest Guard.

"Go, go quickly!"

Seeing the government office runner holding the magistrate's handwritten document preparing to leave, Aunt Zhang took Xiao Yu's hand and squeezed out.

"Aunt, are you going back?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

When the government office runners were beating the Tong brothers with boards just now, Aunt Zhang and the surrounding neighbors were all high-spirited, clapping their hands and shouting, "Beat well! The Tong brothers did all kinds of evil, finally met retribution, beat hard."

Seeing Aunt Liu about to be slapped, her eyes were also full of expectation.

Aunt Zhang squeezed out while saying quickly: "The good show in the county government office is temporarily coming to an end.

Do you believe it, Zhu Yitao will go to the back government office to drink tea and snacks, or even take a nap.

The next big show is about to open at Shopkeeper Hu's house; we can't be late.

Hmm, after watching the big show at Shopkeeper Hu's house, follow the City Defense Camp people back to the county government office, and continue to watch how Zhu Yitao grinds them, hehehe!"

Xiao Yu looked up at the sky; the weather today wasn't very good, gray and dim, and she couldn't even see a few stars.

But she estimated it was nearly eight o'clock in the evening.

"Aunt, it's so late, won't it delay your sleep?" Xiao Yu asked.

Aunt Zhang laughed: "Unlike other places where people sleep as soon as night falls, our Profound Heaven Town is the most prosperous place in the West, so even at night, it is brightly lit everywhere, so we often sleep very late."

Speaking of this, she sighed long and said: "Little Fengxian, you didn't catch the best time.

Before the thirty-six countries invaded our Great Shu, foreign merchants could be seen everywhere in Profound Heaven Town; that was truly prosperous and lively."

She suddenly stopped, looked left and right like a thief, and whispered: "Mu Xiaofeng Fairy, you can fly very well, right? I watched the excitement all day today and am a bit tired. Can you carry me and fly? Just like you carried the Wang Fu Mistress that day."

——You are really fashionable, knowing how to take a "flight."

"Close your eyes." Xiao Yu said, holding her arm.

"Don't close them, how can I watch the fun if I close them. Don't worry, I also entered a martial arts hall back then, it's just that my talent isn't as good as yours." Aunt Zhang said.

Xiao Yu held her arm and jumped up seven or eight zhang high; a howling wind blew by her ears, blowing Aunt Zhang's gray hair into a mess.

"Ouch, slow down, so high, you'll scare me to death~~~"

Seeing Aunt Zhang clutching her chest and wailing, Xiao Yu chuckled, slowly slowed down, and lowered her height.

"Eh, Aunt, look, there are people using light arts to travel ahead, and they seem to be in the same direction as us."

She stopped showing off and just used ordinary light arts, like a big bird, jumping on the eaves and branches by the street, drifting like a ghost, silent and soundless.

Ahead, there was quite a bit of movement, bringing a whistling sound, making the tiles clatter, and breaking a few branches.

"Aunt Zhang?" Xiao Yu didn't get a response, and when she turned her head, Aunt Zhang had already closed her eyes quietly.

"Aunt, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, you don't need to make a fuss; our Profound Heaven Town is full of talented people, and many people go to martial arts halls to practice martial arts," Aunt Zhang said.

"But his direction seems to be the same as ours!" Xiao Yu said. ===== CHAPTER 113 =====
