Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

After the deal was done, Chen Lang stood up and said goodbye.

As I reached the door, I heard a loud noise outside.

Chen Lang looked outside and saw several servants hurriedly approaching with a stretcher. Lying on the stretcher was Xiao Lei, who had been beaten and had his leg broken after attempting to molest a woman in the street.

As the saying goes, enemies are particularly jealous of each other when they meet. Upon learning that Chen Lang had come to his house, Xiao Lei ignored the pain of his broken leg and ordered the servants to carry him out of the room. He wanted to scold Chen Lang, who caused him to break his leg, in person.

In addition to Xiao Lei lying on the stretcher, there was another young man among the entourage who looked 70% similar to Xiao Lei. Judging from his age, he was about the same age as Xiao Lei, about 24 or 25 years old, but his temperament was much calmer than Xiao Lei.

Before coming here, Chen Lang had done some research and learned that Xiao Qi had several sons, one of whom was about the same age as himself and was named Xiao Buyan.

Xiao Buyan's biological mother is Han Chinese. His birth was completely an accident, the product of Xiao Qi's drunken promiscuity, so he has never been taken seriously by Xiao Qi.

But the script that Xiao Buyan got had a bit of the "Long Aotian" flavor. Without the blessing of his father's background, he relied on his own efforts to get to where he is today step by step.

Xiao Buyan currently serves as the chief ceremonial officer in Dilemadusi.

Two hours ago, when Chen Lang went to the Diliemadusi, Xiao Buyan was inside, but for some reason, he did not show up to meet Chen Lang, and also asked the servants in the department to tell Chen Lang that the Diliemadusi would not see him.

What he never expected was that after returning home, he learned that Chen Lang had actually come to find his father and caused his younger brother Xiao Lei to break his leg.

The latter made Xiao Buyan secretly happy, because he had long disliked Xiao Lei, but he was of humble origin, so even if he disliked him, he could only endure it.

The former made Xiao Buyan very frightened.

Without asking for permission from the imperial palace in advance, the special envoy of the Southern Dynasty visited the Southern Prime Minister of the Northern Court of the Liao Dynasty.

If this got out, my father might be charged with treason.

My father's reputation among the court officials was not good to begin with, and many people disliked him.

His father's daily drinking for fun actually became his protective color, making it difficult for court officials to find a reason to attack him.

But meeting with the Southern Dynasty envoy in private is equivalent to giving those who dislike him a perfect opportunity to attack.

Although I have not relied on my father to get to where I am today, if my father falls, I will inevitably be in trouble as well.

So even though he knew that his father didn't like him, Xiao Buyan still followed his brother.

"Special Envoy Chen..."

Xiao Buyan had just started talking when Xiao Lei, who was lying on a stretcher, shouted loudly, "Catch him for me!"

"Break the legs!"

The servants did not hesitate at all. After gently placing Xiao Lei on the ground, they drew the sticks at their waists and rushed towards Chen Lang.

These servants were used to bullying the Yan people. Not to mention that Chen Lang was just a special envoy, even if the emperor of Dayan was here, they would dare to rush forward with sticks at the command of their master.

Xiao Buyan opened his mouth and wanted to stop him, but then he thought, if Chen Lang was injured in his own mansion, it would indirectly prove that his father had no dealings with him. If someone wanted to accuse his father of "collaborating with foreign countries", this matter could also serve as evidence.

So Xiao Buyan closed his mouth again and chose to watch it all coldly.

Chen Lang stood at the door of the hall without fear.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe that these servants will beat him, but Chen Lang wants to see whether his "cultivation" during this period of time has any effect.

Secondly, Xiao Qi was standing right behind him.

Even though the servants were tactless, Xiao Qi would not just watch himself get beaten.

Sure enough, when the servants were about to rush to Chen Lang, Xiao Qi strode out and shouted sternly: "What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel? Put down the stick!"

The servants suddenly turned pale, threw away their sticks, and knelt on the ground in unison.

Xiao Qi's face turned grim as he said, "Special Envoy Chen is my prince's honored guest. You are committing treason. Do you still respect me, your highness?"

"Drag them all away, and give each of them thirty lashes!"

Xiao Lei yelled, "Dad, my leg was broken because of this man, and you actually protected him."

Xiao Qi frowned and said, "Nonsense, didn't Yin Ping break your leg? I've told you so many times not to mess with that woman. Your father and I would avoid her whenever we see her, and yet you took off your pants in the street and tried to... It's only because Yin Ping showed mercy. If she had been more ruthless, you wouldn't have just broken a leg."

Xiao Lei said, "Father, even if I were confused, I wouldn't have provoked that tigress. This person must have done something to cause me to do that."

Xiao Qi said unhappily, "Do you have any evidence?"

Xiao Lei said: "He sprayed water on his son's face."

Xiao Qi said angrily: "This is bullshit evidence."

"I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless. Special Envoy Chen is my honored guest. If you ruin what we've been doing, I won't forgive you."

When Xiao Buyan heard this, his face became extremely ugly.

It's over, completely over.

My biological father actually reached some kind of agreement with Chen Lang. This will definitely be reported to the court officials.

Thinking of this, Xiao Buyan stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Dad, can I have a private chat with Special Envoy Chen?"

Xiao Lei waved his hands irritably and said, "It's okay to chat for a while, but you have to be sensible."

"If you anger Special Envoy Chen, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my son."

Xiao Buyan clenched his fists and lowered his head, not wanting his father to see the anger in his eyes. After a moment, he took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then walked up to Chen Lang and said, "Special Envoy Chen, can you chat for a few minutes?"

Chen Lang smiled and nodded.

The two of them came to a corner of the yard, and Xiao Buyan gritted his teeth and said, "Special Envoy Chen, what do you want to do?"

Chen Lang said: "You have seen it all, I came to visit your father."

Xiao Buyan said angrily, "You are a special envoy of the Southern Dynasty. Your every word and action attracts attention. If you really want to visit my father, you should first ask for permission from the palace through the Dilie Madusi. After receiving permission, you can come accompanied by a commissioner from the Honglu Temple."

"If the court officials knew about your unauthorized visit, how would my father handle the situation in the court?"

Chen Lang said with a half-smile: "Diliemadusi? I've been there, but you didn't see me."

Xiao Buyan suppressed his anger and said, "This is not a reason for you to visit without permission!"

"The enemy's men won't see you today. You could just go again tomorrow. Instead of taking matters into your own hands after being rejected once!"

Chen Lang narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I have already shown sufficient courtesy, it is you who are arrogant."

"Since following the procedures won't work, I'll just have to take a different approach."

"I heard you're working for the Diliemadusi? Go back and tell your boss that if he still refuses to see me, I'll come to your house every day to drink and discuss business with your father."

Xiao Buyan was furious and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Chen Lang said: "If I die, the two countries will inevitably go to war!"

"If you can bear the responsibility, feel free to order someone to kill me."

After saying this, he strode out of the Southern Prime Minister's Mansion.
