When Old Man Liu returned, Liu Zhiyan saw him and asked him if anything had happened in the manor. Why did they gather soldiers for no reason?Old Man Liu placed his hands behind his back, glanced at Liu Zhiyan, and angrily snorted, "The manor is fine, your Fourth Brother is fine." When he talked about this matter, the anger in his heart started burning. Stupid thing that dared to bully Liu Zhen"s grandson.
Is Fourth Brother busy?
"What happened to Fourth Brother?" Liu Zhiyan nervously asked Old Man Liu.
Old Man Liu snorted as he walked, there were people who wanted to take Liu Zhimo"s life, so he chose to use some of his servants to protect him.
If not for the fact that he could not leave the capital so casually, he would have personally went to see who this blind b.a.s.t.a.r.d was and tried to harm his grandson.
Hearing this, Liu Zhiyan jumped in fright, "It"s that serious?" Fourth Brother has only been gone for a short while, and he has already been targeted?
Old Man Liu then looked at Liu Zhiyan indifferently, and said, "The dragon does not suppress the snake on the ground."
How could they be willing to let others pressure them when they were used to being overbearing?
Besides, the place was remote and backward. The people had never seen the outside world, so it was easy for them to narrow their eyes and become foolish. It was not easy for them to obey orders.
Previously, he didn"t really agree with his grandson going to such a remote and backward place, but unfortunately, his grandson"s decision was correct. Since he wasn"t willing to change, he had no choice but to comply with his wishes.
It was just as he thought, his grandson was bullied not long after he got there.
It made him both angry and distressed.
How could he allow others to bully the grandson he had finally found?
Hearing that, Liu Zhiyan was silent. He shook his hand, hoping that Fourth Brother would come back safely.
"Yan"er, how is your learning progress? "Are you sure?"
Returning back to reality, Liu Zhiyan bitterly smiled and said that it was okay.
Honestly speaking, he was very nervous. Would he be able to pa.s.s the examination?
If only he was as smart as Fourth Brother, he wouldn"t have to worry.
"No, I won"t. I"ll write to your Fourth Bro or Mr. Luo and ask them for guidance." After pausing for a moment, Old Man Liu comforted him again, "There"s no need to give yourself so much pressure. If you can"t make it this time, there"s still a next time." Mental state was very important. Only by setting one"s mental state in a positive light could one be able to display one"s usual level of skill.
Liu Zhiyan never thought that Old Man Liu would console him. He looked at Old Man Liu emotionally, and nodded heavily, saying that he would work hard.
He would not disappoint those who cared about him.
Old Man Liu said a few more words to Liu Zhiyan, and the two of them walked to the fork in the road before separating.
When he went to pay his respects to his mother, his mother asked him why he was so happy.
He said smilingly that his grandfather had praised him.
Zhang Yuner opened her mouth in surprise, "How did your grandfather praise you? What did he praise you about?" There were very few people who could receive a praise from their father, so what did their son do? Obtain his praise?
Liu Zhiyan explained everything in a few words.
Hearing that, Zhang Yuner stood up abruptly, "What? Is your fourth brother in danger? "
"Mom, you don"t have to worry. Grandpa personally picked soldiers to protect Fourth Brother and the others. Nothing will happen to them."
Thinking about the abilities of the clan"s soldiers, Zhang Yuner relaxed slightly. She once again slowly sat back down on the chair, took a sip of tea, and suppressed her shock.
It was so far away, that even if something happened to Liu Zhimo, they would not be able to help him.
She let out a heavy sigh and said, "It"s impossible to not have an adult by your side. I wonder how is your fourth brother doing."
"..." Isn"t Mr. Luo an adult? His mother was so concerned that it became chaotic, and she even forgot such an important matter, "Mother, Fourth Brother has Mr. Luo by his side, Mr. Luo will definitely not let Fourth Brother be hurt."
Zhang Yuner said helplessly, Mr. Luo could not fight, if he met a barbaric person, he would only be able to take a beating.
Would it make sense to reason with those barbarians? It didn"t make sense at all. He could only suppress it with force.
"..."
Liu Zhiyan wiped his face hard and sighed heavily, then said, "Mr. Luo has many guards by his side, with them protecting him, he will be fine for now, but wait until our soldiers go, then we will not have to worry about anything."
How could she have forgotten?
Zhang Yuner smiled embarra.s.sedly at Liu Zhiyan, she had really forgotten about the guards.
However...
"It"s easy to dodge arrows in the dark, but hard to guard against arrows in the dark. It"s not good for Mo Er and the rest." Zhang Yuner said worriedly. She put down her teacup and looked at Liu Zhiyan, "Did your grandfather say when the soldiers would leave?"
"Tonight …"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhiyan saw his mother stand up and quickly walk out, saying that she was going to pack up and bring some things to Liu Zhimo and the rest.
"..." His mother was even better to Fourth Brother than to his own son, so would he be jealous?
After a while, he also stood up and prepared to go back to his room to write a letter to his fourth brother.
Just as he walked out of the door, he saw her sister Liu Zhixin ran over with her skirt held up and in front of him. She extended her hand to grab his clothes, raised her head and asked him, "Grandfather, are you going to send someone to protect Fourth Brother?"
"Yes, who did you hear it from?"
"That"s great, I will write a letter to Rou Rou and Ning Ning, and bring the gifts that I bought last time to the family guards." After Liu Zhixin confirmed that what she said was true, he no longer bothered with Liu Zhiyan and returned to her room in high spirits.
Liu Zhiyan didn"t know what to say. He could only smile helplessly and walk back to his room.
… ….
Ever since he was sealed, Liu Zhimo"s tempo sped up. The first thing he did was to kill the yamen runners.
He had been in the Ninghua County for a period of time and had given the constables a chance. It was a pity that they didn"t make good use of this opportunity and were still lackadaisical, not taking the task of serving the constables seriously.
In that case, don"t blame him.
Today, when he saw that the yamen runners were hanging themselves, his face immediately darkened. He turned his head to look at Magistrate Ma and told him to inform the runners that they were not going to work at the yamen anymore.
Magistrate Ma looked at the cold Liu Zhimo and swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He knew that what Liu Zhimo said was true and was not just spouting nonsense.
He took in a deep breath and puffed out his chest. Then, he walked to the front of the yamen runners in large strides and told them what Liu Zhimo had said.
These few yamen runners who only knew how to occupy the latrine were supposed to have been kicked away a long time ago.
After the constables heard this, they threw their horses to the ground and stood up abruptly. They turned their heads to look at Liu Zhimo and questioned him furiously, "Master, what makes you think you can chase us away?"
Liu Zhimo"s face became colder and colder. He glanced at the constables, pursed his lips and snorted, "Why should I chase you away? Don"t you know? "You don"t even know this much?" What kind of virtue did he not know?
The constables crossed their arms and looked at Liu Zhimo sloppily, saying that they really did not know and wanted Liu Zhimo to give them a reason.
Reason?
Liu Zhimo laughed sarcastically: "Magistrate Ma, I"ll have to trouble you to go to the He family, call Director He over, and give him a quarter of an hour. In that quarter of an hour, he won"t be here anymore." To challenge his bottom line again and again, did he really think that he was a sick cat and did not dare to do anything to them?
Magistrate Ma replied Yes and ran out the door while wiping his cold sweat.
This time, County Magistrate was really angry and wanted to kill these people.
Liu Zhimo coldly swept a glance at the few bailiffs, flung his hands, and walked towards the main seat and sat down.
The bailiffs looked at each other in dismay. They exchanged glances and asked, "What should we do?"
"Afraid of what? Even if we give him a hundred guts, he still wouldn"t dare to do anything to us? " One of the bailiffs said in a suppressed voice, "Don"t worry. We are from the He family. He can"t win against them."
When the other bailiffs heard this, they calmed down.
Right, they were members of the He Clan, so they didn"t have to be afraid of a county magistrate that had just arrived.
The county magistrate would only bluff, wasn"t he just obediently listening to the He family in private?
"Come, let"s continue to play."
"Alright …"
The few yamen runners did not place Liu Zhimo in their eyes at all, they once again sat on the ground and hung themselves from horses.
Liu Zhimo glanced at them but did not say anything and allowed them to go.
On the other hand, the two guards who were protecting Liu Zhimo, upon seeing how arrogant the constables were, squinted their eyes in anger and quietly asked Liu Zhimo if he wanted to teach them a lesson.
A few mediocre bailiffs could beat them to the ground with a finger.
Liu Zhimo slowly shook his head and said, There"s no need, there"s going to be a good show later.
He wanted to see how Director He would protect them.
Three quarters of an hour later, Magistrate Ma and Director He appeared.
Liu Zhimo looked at Director He, and said while laughing, "Director He is on time." It was a bit strange that he didn"t become any sort of demon.
When the few bailiffs saw Director He, they immediately stood up and greeted him.
Liu Zhimo placed his hands on the table and clicked his tongue. Director He was much more powerful than me, when I came to the yamen, they did not even glance at me, much less greet me.
Hearing that, Director He fiercely glared at the few bailiffs and berated loudly, "Are you all blind? Didn"t you see the lord coming? Hurry up and greet the Lord! " His Fourth Uncle had warned him, now they definitely could not go head to head with Liu Zhimo, they had to follow his instructions.
A few of the bailiffs were scolded, they turned around and bid their farewells to Liu Zhimo unwillingly.
Liu Zhimo raised his lips and looked at Director He with his sharp eyes. He asked Director He, as a yamen runner, what do you usually do?
Director He was very clear about this, and immediately told the contents of the work for the yamen runners.
After hearing it, Liu Zhimo acknowledged, "Then Director He, have the few yamen runners managed to accomplish it?" He was the one who asked for these bailiffs, he was the one who kicked them out.
"This …" Director He clenched his teeth, and forced a smile, "It should be enough right?"
"It should be?" Liu Zhimo"s expression changed faster than a book could be flipped, the smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared, and his face became cold and somber, "Director He, are your eyes alright? When you came to the yamen, didn"t you see what these people were doing? "
How could he have the nerve to say that he had fulfilled all the crimes that these bailiffs had committed?
