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

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Ming suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

After bowing, Zhao Ming breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Qingfeng.

We are both playboys who have been hanging out together for many years. How could I not know you, Liu Qingfeng?

Liu Qingfeng, who had already knelt down, felt extremely regretful. The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed.

In desperation, Liu Qingfeng had to bite the bullet and kowtow four times.

"Let's go." Zhao Ming's tone was extremely aggrieved. He was usually arrogant and domineering, but today he had fallen here.

Liu Qingfeng stood up and glared at Jiang Yuan with a hidden look.

The two guards stood up, enduring the pain in their arms.

Just as the four were about to leave, a faint voice was heard.

"You two, the matter is not over yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhao Ming instantly flew into a rage. He turned to look at Jiang Yuan and said word by word, "What do you mean? I've already kowtowed and paid you. What else do you want?"

"Even rabbits will bite when they're cornered. Don't push your luck!"

Jiang Yuan was not at all flustered. He stood up calmly and looked at the two of them with a smile: "Alas, what are you talking about? You two have misunderstood."

"I'm not here to cause you two any trouble this time. On the contrary, I'm here to save your reputation!"

Jiang Yuan's words were righteous and just.

Not only Zhao Ming and Liu Qingfeng were confused, but even Bai Jingyun, who had been watching the show for a long time, was confused.

No, brother-in-law, why are you trying to turn your elbow outward?

You can't ask me to kneel down and give them seven, right?

"What do you mean?" Zhao Ming said in a deep voice.

Liu Qingfeng also looked at Jiang Yuan with a puzzled expression. He had a bad suspicion in his mind.

Jiang Yuan smiled and extended his hand for the two to sit down, then poured three cups of tea.

"Don't worry, don't worry, let's drink tea and talk slowly."

Zhao Ming patiently sat on the chair with a gloomy face, wanting to see what Jiang Yuan was up to.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Liu, your two fathers should be important officials of the current dynasty, right?" Jiang Yuan asked with a smile.

Looking at Jiang Yuan's despicable look, Zhao Ming wanted to slap him twice, but the situation was stronger than him, so he could only nod with hatred.

"Yes, what do you want to say?"

Jiang Yuan smiled brightly and nodded, "That's right. Since both of your fathers are important officials in the court, you two must be well-known in this imperial capital."

Zhao Ming said nothing, only his frown showed his extreme inner restlessness.

"Since you two are celebrities, you both knelt down and kowtowed just now. If such a thing gets out, it will not only affect your reputation, but also your father." Jiang Yuan continued.

"Enough!" Zhao Ming shouted angrily, interrupting Jiang Yuan's words.

"What on earth do you want to do!" Liu Qingfeng stared at Jiang Yuan with red eyes.

Jiang Yuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then leaned back in his chair and let out a breath.

"Okay, today's events are only known to a few of us. However, I'm a big mouth and I'm a heavy drinker. I might get drunk one day and say something wrong. That could be really bad."

Zhao Ming was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He was forced to kowtow, and in the end he was threatened about the matter of kowtow. Is this fair?

"What conditions do you have!"

Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs-up with satisfaction: "As expected of Mr. Zhao, you are so smart."

"My terms are simple and easy to negotiate. Besides you two, there are six other people present. Each of them will receive one thousand taels of silver. This is called hush money! Isn't that too much?"

"As for Zhao Wu and Liu Hua's, I will keep them temporarily. Do you two have any objection?" Jiang Yuan looked at the two of them viciously.

"No comment."

"I'll do whatever you say." Zhao Wu and Liu Hua were so angry that their teeth were itching.

Who the hell is this person? His heart is so evil that it's unbearable.

Zhao Ming's heart was bleeding at this moment. He had just paid out 1,500 taels of silver, and now he had to pay out another 5,000 taels. How much was his entire fortune worth?

But after careful consideration, Zhao Ming became more and more crazy. He found that he really had to pay this money!

The loss of money was a small matter, but once the news got out, it was hard to say how much of an impact it would have on his father, and he couldn't estimate it.

But what is certain is that he will never be able to survive in the imperial capital again.

Who would play with someone who kowtows to others?

"Okay, I don't have that much money on me right now. Give me your address and I'll have someone send it to you in the evening."

Jiang Yuan pointed to his feet and said, "I'm staying here tonight. I hope Mr. Zhao won't break his promise."

Zhao Ming flicked his sleeves, opened the door and left.

Liu Qingfeng glared at Jiang Yuan fiercely and followed him away.

Bai Jingyun came up to Jiang Yuan with a worried look on his face. "Brother, you're just playing with fire. Zhao Ming is not a pushover. He definitely won't give me the money at night. It's too dangerous. It's not worth it for five thousand taels of silver."

"Just come back to the Bai family with me. They can't do anything to you."

Jiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, which was considered as recognition of his brother-in-law. His help to him was not in vain.

"Don't worry, I have a clever plan."

"How about I go back to find Dad and ask Shen Long to come over. At least I can ensure that you won't get hurt."

"No need." Jiang Yuan waved his hands repeatedly.

Zhao Ming and the other man walked to the first floor with fierce eyes, and turned back to take a deep look at the room where Jiang Yuan was.

You are a foreigner. Even if I allow you to act violently for a while, what can you use to fight me? This is the imperial capital!

The territory beneath the emperor's feet is my, Zhao Ming's!

Almost as soon as Zhao Ming and the other man left the restaurant, a figure smiled silently.

This person looks very ordinary, the kind that you wouldn't recognize if you saw him in a crowd even if you took a quick look at him.

In the center of the imperial capital, there are endless magnificent buildings.

In a garden, Chen Liu was lying on a chair with his legs spread out, drinking wine happily, while two maids behind him were gently massaging his shoulders.

After half a year of hard work, I finally returned to the imperial capital. Now it’s time to enjoy my life.

Chen Liu, lying on the chair, closed his eyes, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

Don't get me wrong, it's a woman.

It was the woman who had provided him with one-stop service at Taiping Inn.

Chen Liu opened his eyes slightly and shook his head slowly.

What a pity. I only experienced the one-stop service once. I can barely remember the general order, but not the specific techniques.

Otherwise, I must train the two maids behind me well.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief!"

A notification interrupted Chen Liu's wandering thoughts.

Chen Liu opened his eyes dissatisfiedly and looked at the man in front of him: "Wei Yong, you'd better be okay."

Wei Yong, who didn't know his name had been borrowed, respectfully took out three pieces of paper from his pocket.

"Of course there is something. According to the informant, just now at Tianxia Restaurant, Mr. Zhao's son Zhao Ming and Mr. Liu's son Liu Qingfeng were beaten."

Chen Liu's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.

"Oh, I never thought that someone would actually dare to hit someone directly. Zhao Tiannan is a second-rank official after all. Even those family members who can suppress him would not dare to hit someone so blatantly."

"Interesting, tell me who did it."

Wei Yong raised the paper in his hands a little higher and said, "Sir, I don't know them. There are three of them. They are accompanied by Bai Jingyun, the son of the Bai family. As for the other three, I have already asked someone to draw them."

Chen Liu picked up the paper casually, and after just one glance, his eyes suddenly widened.

"What the hell! Jiang Yuan?!"

Wei Yong was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Do you know him, sir?"

Chen Liu raised his head, opened his mouth excitedly, and saliva flew everywhere.

"More than just knowing each other, damn! I know him too well! Wei Yong, call a brother and follow me!"

"Finally, you've fallen into my hands. You've come to this day, hahaha!"
