I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

"General Long, won't you kneel?"

Seeing Long Guangxian stunned, Jiang Yuan spoke again, shaking the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.

Long Guangxian closed his eyes helplessly, his face flushed red: "I will accept your order."

After saying that, Long Guangxian knelt heavily on the ground. This kneeling completely destroyed the remaining dignity in Long Guangxian's heart.

It would be fine if he just knelt in front of Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan had more than ten guys behind him who had come from nowhere.

"Come, come! I will definitely not take your money for nothing. Come and see the true appearance of the general. Your trip will definitely be worthwhile!" Jiang Yuan waved enthusiastically to let the people behind him come over.

"Oh, this is General Long Guangxian of Caiyun City. He really looks like a hero."

"That's right, seeing is believing. Just looking into those eyes gives me chills."

Jiang Yuan curled his lips. Is there any need to think about it?

The great General Long is kneeling in front of you. I'm afraid he wants to kill you.

But fortunately, these guys were all from other places who came to Caiyun City to do business. No matter how powerful Long Guangxian was, if he didn't know their names and it was impossible for him to remember the appearance of so many people, he would have nowhere to find to take revenge on them.

"Okay, okay, just watch, but don't do anything. After all, he is a great general and must be respected." Jiang Yuan spoke seriously, and then actually smiled and helped Long Guangxian up.

"The general is truly loyal to His Majesty. I command you to rise in the name of the imperial decree."

Long Guangxian took a deep breath and stood up trembling all over. During this time, he wanted to kill the boy with one punch several times, but gave up the idea several times.

After all, Jiang Yuan was holding the imperial edict, so killing him was a small matter. The worst that could happen was that he would lose his official hat.

But if he is accused of disrespecting the imperial edict and offending the current emperor, it will be too late. He, Long Guangxian, is not alone. There are hundreds of people in the general's mansion, and they will suffer with him.

At this moment, Long Guangxian completely understood why there is a saying among the people that the arrogant are afraid of those who are not afraid of death, and the barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

This is really the truth!

This little bastard named Jiang has neither impressive strength nor a powerful background.

But he relied on the imperial edict in his hand and bet that the people in the general's mansion would not dare to touch him.

"General Long, I don't know the way to the general's mansion. Why don't you take us on a tour?" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

Long Guangxian almost vomited blood. This was too much!

It’s ok that you make money from my mansion, but now you want me to lead you personally.

"Jiang Yuan! Don't go too far. Even if you have the imperial edict, you can't stop me from doing my job. This general is busy with official duties now. Please get out of the way. I have to go busy." Long Guangxian said viciously.

Surprisingly, upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan retreated instead of advancing. He grabbed Long Guangxian's hand and said with a look of deep sorrow:

"General Long, you really misunderstood me. I had no intention of insulting you at all."

"I've always been a kind person. If you hadn't led the way, I might have accidentally run into the women's room in the general's mansion. What if that person happened to be your wife? What if she happened to be wearing cool clothes in the room? What if..."

"Okay! I'll take you there!"

Long Guangxian was shocked and quickly agreed. Although what this guy said was unlikely, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Although it is winter now, the general's mansion is paved with underground heating (a way for wealthy families in ancient times to keep warm, they would leave passages underground and keep warm by burning fire and placing charcoal at the entrance of the passages), so it is really possible to wear cool clothes.

What if Jiang Yuan really didn't come across her? What if this guy was tempted by her beauty and used the imperial edict in his hand to make his wife kneel down...

Thinking of this, Long Guangxian no longer dared to think further.

"That's right. I said General Long is not a stingy person." Jiang Yuan said, and stretched out two fingers again to the dozen people behind him. The meaning was clear: add more money, two hundred taels.

No one had any objection. These guys were all businessmen. Two hundred taels was not a lot, but not a small amount either. It was just the money for a meal and a drink. Now, in exchange for having a fifth-rank military general with real power to lead the way for them, they were making a huge profit.

"General Long, how about you take us to the hall to sit down?" Jiang Yuan came over with a smile.

Long Guangxian suppressed the urge to beat this guy up and nodded. Well, going to the lobby would just mean drinking tea and not much else.

"Mr. Jiang, please follow me."

Long Guangxian said in a deep voice, turned around and walked in front to lead the way. Even Jiang Yuan, who disliked him, had to admit that this guy walked with great vigor and energy, and indeed had the aura of a general.

After a while, everyone entered the lobby of the general's mansion.

Jiang Yuan couldn't stop nodding. Even if the furnishings in this lobby couldn't be described as gold bricks and jade tiles, they were still magnificent. Any item could be sold for several thousand taels of silver.

"Please do as you please." Long Guangxian said with a cold face. With regard to these people, except Jiang Yuan, none of them were worthy of entering the gate of his general's mansion on normal days.

It's good enough to let them in, but they still want to watch the show? Eat shit!

Long Guangxian walked to the main seat with a cold face and sat down, but then the expression on his face turned into one of frustration.

"Oh, Brother Long, today's visit really opened my eyes." Jiang Yuan said, and sat down on the ground next to Long Guangxian without caring about his own image at all.

Long Guangxian frowned slightly. "Mr. Jiang, this is enough. If you came alone, I wouldn't mind letting you see as much as you want, but these people are ordinary people. I have a lot of secrets in my family. If they look in the wrong place and lose their heads, don't blame me for not warning you."

"It's okay, it's okay, come and have some tea, Brother Long." Jiang Yuan happily poured tea for Liangre.

Seeing this scene, Long Guangxian's gloomy face finally eased a little. It seemed that this guy was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others.

Thinking of this, Long Guangxian picked up the teacup and drank it all.

"Brother Long is so generous! Another one!" Jiang Yuan said, pouring him another glass.

Long Guangxian also drank it all without saying a word.

"Great! Brother Long drinks tea like he drinks wine, he really has a heroic spirit!"

While Jiang Yuan was full of praise, he added more water for Long Guangxian.

Until this moment, Long Guangxian finally realized that something was wrong. This was not wine, so what was the meaning of this kid constantly forcing me to drink it?

This water belongs to the general's mansion, it's impossible for it to be tampered with. What does this kid want to do?

Is he trying to make himself full of water?

But to be honest, this teapot can only hold about five cups of water. What's the harm in me drinking it all?

Not long after, Long Guangxian put down the cup heavily, glanced at Jiang Yuan who was pouring water but only a few drops of water dripped from the spout, and felt very happy.

Jiang Yuan, who hadn't poured out the water, was even more delighted. He moved his butt and rubbed against Long Guangxian again, and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Brother Long, I think this teapot looks like a purple clay one."

"Not bad, you have some good eyesight." Long Guangxian said complacently.

"I got this teapot from the palace when I captured the former capital. It's said to have been used exclusively by the royal family of the previous dynasty, but in my opinion, it's just..."

Halfway through his words, Long Guangxian opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Jiang Yuan was standing in front of him, with an embarrassed expression on his face, stuffing the teapot into his sleeve...

Long Guangxian was completely stunned. It would be fine if you just came, but why the hell did you take things?

"Brother Long, I think this purple clay teapot has a connection with my imperial edict." Jiang Yuan said with blinking eyes.
