Flourishing of the Ming Dynasty Novel - Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Death Man (2)
Without much hesitation, the officers gathered around the carriages that were traveling late at night. “Who dares to violate the curfew?” As he spoke, he surrounded the carriage at the front.

The coachman at the carriage instantly stared blankly, “I blinded your dog eyes. I didn’t see that this is a carriage from the mansion of Lang Zhong Zhao of the Ministry of Rites. How dare you stop it!” As he spoke, he swung his whip and waved it twice at the tolerances as if he was driving a livestock, “Get out of the way!”

“How dare you, you dare to insult the official business even if you act randomly in the middle of the night? Don’t you know that the law is strict?” When one of the first servants heard this, the veins on his forehead popped out and he loudly berated, “The county government has already issued a decree that you are not allowed to go out at night. Don’t you know that?”

Just as the coachman was about to say something, the curtain in front of him was suddenly lifted, and a drunken young face appeared. “What? My Zhao Lang Zhong’s carriage has been here for several years, but it has never been stopped. Don’t you know the rules?”

“What rules? We only know the law!” One of the servants snorted, “If you don’t have the relevant waist token, then it’s illegal. My county government has the right to take him down!” As he spoke, he took another step forward.

At this time, a carriage staggered up from behind. The curtains were lifted and the young man among them said mockingly, “Brother Zhao, your title as a doctor of etiquette is useless. Why don’t you use mine? Hey, take a good look, this is the carriage of Uncle Qingyuan’s family. Do you dare to stop it?” This person was actually a disciple of Mingxun’s noble family.

The moment these words were spoken, the servants could clearly see the lanterns in the carriage with the words’ Qingyuan Uncle’s Mansion ‘raised high in the air. A trace of panic immediately appeared on the faces of some of them as they shrank back slightly.

However, the leading servant smiled, “So it’s from Uncle’s family. May I ask this young master, are you Uncle Qingyuan himself?”

“How dare you!” The man snorted coldly, “Uncle Qingyuan is my uncle. If you dare to speak like this, I will take you down for good!”

“So you are not Uncle Qingyuan, do you have the trust or waist token of the government? Or do you have an official position?” Although the servant had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold.

This person was instantly asked, and he was speechless, not knowing what to say. The servant then turned his gaze to the young master Zhao in the first carriage and said, “May I ask this young master of the Doctor’s family, do you have these?”

Just as they were hesitating, the third carriage impatiently overtook them. “I say, gentlemen, it’s getting late to waste any time here with these slaves. Let’s go home now.”

“Which young master are you from?” The servants saw that there were four carriages, and when they saw him approaching, they asked again.

“Alright, Young Qing of Honglu Temple is my father.” The man raised his head and coldly said his identity, “We just ate out and forgot about two hours before we rushed home. Do we look like criminals? To think that we would be in such a difficult situation.”

“Young masters, you can tell at a glance that you are not a villain. However, my county government has already issued a decree. Anyone who dares to break the curfew will be punished by the county government. Therefore, as long as they can’t bring out waist tokens and other items, no one can indulge!” As the servant spoke, he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to come forward and get him.

“How dare you be so rude to my Young Master? Be careful of your skin!” When one of the coachmen saw that someone had actually come up, he was instantly enraged. He waved his long whip and threw it towards the person closest to him. Apart from being a coachman, he also had the duty to protect his Young Master. When he saw that the other party was about to attack, he immediately swung his whip and attacked.

“Pa!” However, the whip failed to hit the man. Instead, it was blocked by the hardest-line servant holding the saber in his hand, and the tip of the whip was even tied up by his saber. He glared and shouted, “How dare you attack the tolerance? How dare you! Get down here!” His voice paused, and his hand suddenly exerted force. The driver was already unstable, but when he pulled him, he immediately fell from the carriage’s shaft with a loud sigh, and fell to the ground with a mouthful of mud!

“You!” Seeing this, Young Master Zhao, who was in his car, felt a burst of embarrassment. He pointed his finger at him and was about to explode. But before he could say anything, the man had already pulled out his saber and shouted, “If there are more rebels, they will be punished for their evil intentions, regardless of whether they live or die!”

These words carried a dense killing intent, and Young Master Zhao was so frightened that he swallowed the words that were on his mouth. He stared at him with an expression of disbelief. Was this fellow crazy to actually say such cruel words!

It wasn’t just him, the people in the other two cars were also stunned on the spot. Obviously, they were caught by this sudden murderous aura and couldn’t even express their anger. They were just evil slaves and young masters who were flaunting their influence in the capital. They had never encountered such a person before. This person in front of him was an old soldier who had fought Dazi several times in the border area and killed countless people.

That’s right, in the entire Daxing County government, only Lin Lie dared to carry out Lu Zhen’s intentions without any discounts, and his momentum was still undiminished in the face of these dandymen who announced their father’s name.

His aura did not diminish, but the faces of the six people in front of him had already turned pale from fear. Looking at the steel saber shining with a frightening cold light in the flames, they felt their hearts tighten and their bodies weaken. In this way, he didn’t dare to speak as presumptuously as before.

At this time, in the fourth carriage, which was still some distance away from them, Li Huan narrowed his eyes and looked at the situation. His face was full of playfulness, “This Daxing County is really not just saying it casually. It actually moved seriously. Now it’s lively.”

“Young Master, what should we do?” The coachman beside him asked uneasily as he looked at the situation in front of him. He was somewhat worried that if he made a move, his family would be affected as well.

“If I leave now, how can I meet them in the future? Let’s see. Once the matter is really big, we’ll be safe.” Li Huan chuckled. This was also his established strategy, which was why he ended up in the end.

However, the three carriages in front of them were obviously not as comfortable as him. Facing the aggressive Lin Lie and the others, it was best for them to obediently surrender and be captured if they wanted to avoid any injuries. However, this way, the bet they had made before would be completely lost.

Just as Lin Lie approached again and was about to pull Young Master Zhao out of the carriage, he suddenly shouted, “Wait, what do you think this is?” As he spoke, he took out a wooden token the size of a palm from his embrace.

Lin Lie looked at the flames and was slightly stunned. “Why didn’t you take out your waist token before you allowed Night Walk?” Although he felt a little unhappy, he didn’t feel embarrassed when he took out his things, so he snorted, “You go!”

Only then did Young Master Zhao heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he discovered that his back was soaked in sweat. It was obvious how much pressure this person had brought to him just now. If he hadn’t sensed this, he wouldn’t have taken out the waist token.

Later, a scene that made Lin Lie feel somewhat confused occurred. The other two people actually took out the same waist token with the imprint of the Shun Tian Manor engraved on it. They actually had the right to do so, so the county government had no way to deal with them.

Therefore, in the end, Lin Lie and the others had no choice but to let the three carriages leave. Although the county government had decreed, Shuntian Prefecture was still his superior yamen, and the waist token he had issued was still very useful.

Li Huan was stunned when he saw this. “What’s going on? Are these county government servants just bluffing? They let people go so easily?” Because of the distance and the darkness, he didn’t see the waist token clearly. He only said that Lin Lie and the others had yielded.

Li Huan twitched his lips and waved his hand, “Let’s go over as well. Tonight, it was a draw. No one was able to win this match.”

The coachman hurriedly shook the reins and urged the horses forward. Immediately after, they were stopped by Lin Lie and the others.

Because the top three were in the front, Lin Lie didn’t have the mood to accompany these playboys anymore. He stretched out his hand and said, “Young Master, if you have a waist token issued by the Shun Tian Manor, then take it out. Otherwise, we can only escort you back to the yamen and ask for your guilt.”

“What waist token?” Li Huan’s face was blank, but his heart was slightly uneasy.

Hearing this, Lin Lie raised his eyebrows and said, “Are you an official?” After confirming that the other party was only the young master of the Punishment Department’s Doctor-in-Chief Clan and had no official, he did not delay any further and raised his hand, “Then please ask this young master to see our lord and let him make the decision!”

“You dare, I am” Li Huan was about to resist, but the servants who had been tricked by the three in front finally couldn’t help it. They rushed over and pulled him down with the coachman. Then, they pushed him in the direction of the county government.

Suppressing their anger, they had already forgotten about this person’s ident. I.ty. Moreover, this decree was made by his own county magistrate. He was merely following the orders of the county magistrate and the team leader. Even if the other party wanted to blame him, he couldn’t blame a nobody like him, could he?

Just like that, Young Master Li, who thought that everyone was being toyed with by him, actually became the real person to die, was pushed into the Daxing County Yamen by a group of servants …

At the same time, in the Fragrance Pavilion, Young Master Huang smiled as he picked up his glass and drank the wine. He softly said in his heart, “Li Huan, don’t try to deceive me with that little bit of thought! You’re too young to use us as guns. This time, I’ll give you a big gift so that you can know what will happen if you snatch Miss Xiangcui from me!” After the smile disappeared, he had already grabbed the girl beside him and headed towards the bed on one side!
