After I went through the book, I criticized the villain but he insisted on pampering me

Mu Yuan smiled happily after hearing what the chief clerk said. He hooked his finger and motioned Zhu Changzai to move his head closer. "Mr. Zhu, what you said makes sense. But why does this man wear a mask?"

Zhu Changzai: "People in the underworld like to be mysterious."

Mu Yuan could no longer suppress his excitement and stepped out of the sedan chair.

He straightened his official uniform and walked quickly towards Chi Rui.

When the people around saw that it was Mu Yuan coming, they all made way for him.

The people from the Canglan Gang fled immediately after suffering a loss, leaving behind harsh words that they would definitely come back.

Mu Yuan walked up to Chi Rui, his face full of smiles, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency has spoken out for justice and protected my reputation. I am very grateful. May I know your name?"

Chi Rui bowed slightly, saluted, and said calmly: "My name is Su Rui, but I am just an idle person wandering around the world. I was so angry when I saw these people being so arrogant today that I spoke out to help you, sir."

Mu Yuan looked at Chi Rui and saw that he was tall and straight with an extraordinary temperament. Although he was wearing a mask, the aura he exuded could not be ignored. "Mr. Su, I am grateful to you today. If it weren't for you, my reputation would have been ruined by these people."

Chi Rui chuckled and said, "Your Excellency is too kind. The county governor is wholeheartedly for the people, and the people of Weicheng have seen it. These villains slandering you is really unforgivable."

"Oh, Mr. Su is such a kind and good person." It was the first time that Mu Yuan heard someone praising him like this, and his heart was filled with joy.

Chi Rui smiled perfunctorily.

"Sir, do you have a place to stay in Weicheng?"

"You can wander around the world and settle down anywhere."

After hearing this, Mu Yuan was even more delighted and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Su, if that's the case, why don't you come to my house and have a chat so that I can thank you for making a friend of yours?"

The Canglan Gang is very powerful, and those pirates are all skilled in martial arts. He has long wanted to make friends with some people in the martial arts world to use them to deal with the Canglan Gang.

In this way, the chances of winning will be greater. Looking at the person in front of him, he has extraordinary martial arts skills and will definitely be able to help him in suppressing the bandits.

Chi Rui's face remained calm, he nodded slightly and said: "Since your Excellency has invited me so kindly, I will not refuse it."

Seeing this, Qianyu, who was standing by, followed Chi Rui and walked towards the Mu Mansion.

On the way, Mu Yuan kept talking to Chi Rui, and his words were full of admiration and love for him.

When they arrived at the Mu Mansion, Mu Yuan welcomed Chi Rui into the hall and ordered the servants to serve sumptuous wine and food.

After three rounds of drinking, Mu Yuan started to talk more. "Mr. Su, if a talent like you could serve the court, it would be a blessing for the country."

Chi Rui put down his wine glass and said modestly, "Your Excellency is too kind. I am just a commoner and do not know anything about the court. Moreover, I am used to a free and easy life and I am afraid it will be difficult for me to adapt to the rules of the officialdom."

Mu Yuan was a little disappointed after hearing this, but he did not give up and continued, "Mr. Su, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. As long as you are willing, I will definitely arrange a good job for you."

Chi Rui sneered in his heart, but still said respectfully on his face: "I appreciate your kindness, sir. But I don't want to think about it at the moment. I just want to continue to gain experience in the martial arts world."

There was a tug of war between Chi Rui and Mu Yuan.
