Adhere to the gentleman's principles

On the way back home, he asked, "Do I have any injuries on my face?" Fei Zhou and Mo Yu nodded and said, "Yes." Li Ziyan said, "Forget it, let's talk about it when we get home. Jun Ning should be asleep by now."

After returning to the house, Li Ziyan tiptoed to open the door and poked his head inside to check. He found Zhao Junning rubbing his forehead and still calculating with an abacus, muttering, "Thirty-seven twenty-one - fifty-eight taels, ninety-nine forty-four - one hundred and forty-three taels." Hearing the sound of the door opening, he did not look up: "Are you back?" Li Ziyan saw that Zhao Junning was talking to him, lowered his head and walked into the room and replied, "Yes, something happened in the county government today and I went to deal with it."

"Are you still those yamen runners? Did they cause you trouble?" Zhao Junning never looked up, and Li Ziyan quickly denied it: "No, no, it's just that someone came to the yamen today to ask me to make a decision, and that matter was difficult to handle and took some time." "Oh." Li Ziyan glanced at Zhao Junning and asked: "Are you still calculating the accounts? How are the guys you recruited today?" Zhao Junning answered seriously: "I recruited 20 people, and they are all reliable, but I also left some room." Li Ziyan was relieved and said: "That's good."

Zhao Junning raised her head and looked at Li Ziyan, "Why are you looking down?" Li Ziyan explained, "There is dust on my clothes, I brushed it off. It's this hour, let's go to bed." Just as she was about to walk towards the bed, "Stop, you have a problem."

Zhao Junning said, Li Ziyan smiled and replied: "What's my problem? You must be too busy and exhausted, take a rest." Zhao Junning walked to Li Ziyan step by step. Li Ziyan kept his head down and stood a little distance away. Zhao Junning had no choice but to say: "Oh, I feel dizzy."

After hearing this, Li Ziyan was anxious and didn't care whether he bowed his head or not. He went forward to support him and said, "Are you dizzy? Go sit down and rest." Zhao Junning then saw the wound on Li Ziyan's face and asked, "What happened to your face? Who hit you?" After hearing this, Li Ziyan covered the wound on his face and said, "No one, I knocked it."

"Really?" Zhao Junning questioned. Li Ziyan nodded without hesitation. Zhao Junning knew it was not a bump, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to sleep."

The next day, Li Ziyan went to the county government office first. Zhao Junning stopped Mo Yu and Fei Zhou and asked, "Where did you and Ziyan go last night? He fell so hard that his mouth and eyes were bruised all over." Mo Yu was a straightforward person and said, "We taught the county government officials a lesson." Fei Zhou quickly covered Mo Yu's mouth and said, "We just went there to think about how to solve the case."

Zhao Junning believed it and nodded, "Okay, then you and Ziyan go out together, how come your faces are fine? You didn't protect Ziyan."

Mo Yu pushed Fei Zhou's hand away and said, "No, absolutely not. It was those yamen runners who surrounded you. You didn't let us go forward. You beat them down and then let us go forward and tie them up and take them back to the county government office to give them a lecture. Your injuries were caused by those yamen runners."

Mo Yu said in one breath with a bitter face: "It's over, I've told you everything." Zhao Junning clenched his fists after hearing this: "Don't they know that you shouldn't hit someone in the face? So many people beat up my husband alone, it's too much." At this time, Zhao Junning showed a sly smile on his face, and he must want to teach these yamen runners a lesson.

On the wall of the county government office, Zhao Junning climbed up the wall with all her strength. Outside the wall, the four of them were blocked by a tree and no one could see Mo Yu and Fei Zhou. Mo Yu and Fei Zhou whispered, "Young Madam, be careful."

Zhao Junning also whispered, "Don't worry. Give it to me." Mo Yu handed the slingshot to Zhao Junning. Zhao Junning aimed at the faces of the yamen runners, avoided their vital parts, shot them, and then hid.

Inside the county government office, "Hey, who is that?" "Hey, who come out?"

"Ouch, my leg." Zhao Junning ejected eight people in a row, and the eight people covered their wounds.

Zhao Junning covered her mouth and laughed, "Junning?" Li Ziyan happened to pass by the carriage beside the tree and it looked familiar. He looked around and walked behind the tree, where he saw Zhao Junning lying on the wall and Fuling, Mo Yufeizhou and others under the wall.

Zhao Junning heard Li Ziyan's voice and turned around, smiling bitterly and waving his hand. The eight people in the county government heard the voice and looked at Zhao Junning, who also waved his hand. Li Ziyan walked forward, shook his head helplessly and lovingly, and carried Zhao Junning down the wall.

"Madam, we shouldn't have attacked Lord Li by surprise."

"Yes, yes, Madam, we..." Zhao Junning said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm sorry for being reckless just now." Li Ziyan coughed lightly and said: "It's okay, you guys go down and apply some medicine." Mo Yu and Feizhou Fuling were about to sneak away, "You three stay here." Li Ziyan looked at the three people: "What's wrong with you three? You let Junning climb so high. And you, Mo Yu, are you the one who said too much again?" Feizhou, Fuling and Zhao Junning nodded repeatedly: "It's him, it's him." Li Ziyan smiled and looked at Mo Yu: "I knew it was you. You can't keep a secret." Mo Yu was shocked and looked at the bitter faces of the three people: "Young Master, I was wrong." Zhao Junning stepped forward and said: "Okay, okay, we admit our mistakes and let's go back." Li Ziyan pulled Zhao Junning and said: "You three wait outside, I have something to say to the young lady."

After the three of them left, Li Ziyan laughed out loud, and said as he laughed: "I didn't expect that my weak wife would actually climb the wall. My wife, you always surprise me!" Zhao Junning lowered her head slightly and said: "Don't laugh."

Li Ziyan still smiled and said, "My wife." Then he leaned closer and said, "My wife is so cute. I didn't expect that she can not only make money, study and take care of me, but also climb the wall and shoot a slingshot."

As he spoke, he picked up the slingshot from Zhao Junning's hand. Zhao Junning looked at Li Ziyan with a dark face and said, "Stop laughing." Li Ziyan saw that Zhao Junning was a little angry and stopped laughing: "Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore. Why did you hit them?"

Zhao Junning was a little angry: "Who asked the eight of them to beat you? Although you beat them into submission, they hit you in the face. I was heartbroken to see such a pretty face injured. Besides, I couldn't bear to beat you. I was so angry that the eight of your men dared to beat you, and they bullied you on your first day in office. I was angry. I will beat anyone who dares to bully you."

Li Ziyan looked at Zhao Junning with a smile: "It turns out that it feels really good to have someone protecting you. Thank you, my lady." Zhao Junning said shyly: "There is no need to say thank you between husband and wife. You always risk your life to protect me. What I do is what I should do. It is a two-way relationship between husband and wife to protect each other. I am a businessman."

Li Ziyan tried to ask: "So I am my wife's commodity?" Zhao Junning nodded and shook her head: "It is a priceless commodity that belongs only to me." Li Ziyan scratched Zhao Junning's nose: "Thank you very much for your exclusive favor, Boss Zhao."

The two walked out of the county government hand in hand. Zhao Junning got on the carriage. Li Ziyan looked at Mo Yu and Fei Zhou. The two admitted their mistakes quickly: "Master, we were wrong. You can punish us." Li Ziyan thought for a while and said: "Then punish you to follow the young lady. Today we are setting up the restaurant. You can help more." The two answered in unison: "Yes, Master."

Inside the government office, "Chen Hu, Lin Hai," Li Ziyan called out their names, and the four responded, "Sir." Li Ziyan looked at the two and said, "By the way, Lin Hai, has Yu Erniu's child, who came to report to the authorities yesterday, woke up now?"

Lin Hai replied, "Not yet, sir." After hearing this, Li Ziyan thought for a while and said, "Go there and ask the child's father to get a few drops of the child's blood for you when the doctor is not paying attention." Although Lin Hai was puzzled, he thought that Li Ziyan must have a reason for asking him to do so, so he agreed.

In the clinic, "Master Lin, what does Lord Li want to ask?" Yu Erniu asked. Lin Hai smiled and said, "Lord, you are worried, so let me take a look." Then he saw the doctor go to get medicine. Lin Hai quickly took out the medicine bottle and gave it to Yu Erniu: "Lord, he said he needs a few drops of your child's blood." Seeing that Yu Erniu wanted to ask more questions, Lin Hai said, "Hurry up, just trust us Lord." Yu Erniu didn't ask any more questions. He took the medicine bottle, saluted to Lin Hai and said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord County Magistrate. The child is not awake yet."

"Then I won't bother you any more. Goodbye." He whispered, "I'll wait for you under the willow tree outside the clinic."

Yu Erniu went into the room again, checked a few times and saw that the doctor was treating other patients. He quickly used the silver needle left by the doctor to prick the child's hand on the bed, dripped a few drops of blood into the bottle, soaked the silver needle in wine, took it out, wiped it dry and put it back in its place. Yu Erniu was very calm and said to the doctor: "I'll go buy some food for the child."

After walking out of the clinic, he headed towards the willow tree and gave the medicine bottle to Lin Hai. Lin Hai was still curious. Lin Hai said, "I know you are very curious. I don't understand what the adults want this for, but I know that adults must have a way." Yu Erniu nodded and said, "Okay, then I will believe you once. If you have any more questions, come to me at any time."
