"Please give way."
Yu Zhi lowered his head and kept looking at the lantern in his hand, especially the vivid phoenix. There was a person blocking him in front of him and he did not get out of the way.
"Yu Zhi?"
The voice was unfamiliar, but Yu Zhi was sure he had heard it before. The slight disdain in his tone made Yu Zhi frown. He was sure that the owner of the voice was not familiar with him, so where did this frivolous and disdainful tone come from?
Yu Zhi raised his head and looked at the young man not far away, feeling that he looked familiar. He and Bai Yu have not seen each other for many years. Bai Yu looked down on Yu Zhi, and Yu Zhi disdained to talk to Bai Yu. There would be no intersection between the two.
"Who are you?" Yu Zhi asked.
Bai Yu gritted his teeth and responded: "Bai Jia Bai Yu."
Why doesn't he remember me? I was second on the A-list that year, just one move behind Ye Qinghuan. Bai Yu was very angry. The person he was ashamed to associate with didn't remember him. Shouldn't he look up to him?
Yu Zhi saw Bai Li behind Bai Yu, and then said as if he suddenly realized: "Oh, second on the A list. Are you the guy who lost to Qing Huan back then?"
Bai Yu was stuffy, and a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out of his throat. He had fought dozens of battles in his life, and among his peers, he only lost to Ye Qinghuan, and that was only by one move. However, people seem to only remember the outcome of that move.
Bai Yu had to admit that that sword was amazing. If used in the hands of a sword master, it would change the color of heaven and earth. And he was also defeated by that sword.
He did not become a laughing stock, after all, the second best person on the A-list was second only to Ye Qinghuan. He only has Ye Qinghuan in his eyes.
As for Yu Zhi...
snort! Throughout the ages, the reputation of Wenwen Academy as a shame has been as loud as the reputation of his white jade. It's a pity that one person is notorious and the other person is famous.
Yu Zhi took a step to the left, intending to get around this obstacle.
Bai Yu didn't want to give up. He locked on Yu Zhi's aura and also took a step to the left to block Yu Zhi's way. Bai Yu was one step ahead of Yu Zhi and stood up before Yu Zhi landed. Yu Zhi knew that the foot he was about to fall would definitely step on Bai Yu's foot.
Bai Yu didn't hide, thinking that Yu Zhi would stop.
However, Yu Zhi gave Bai Yu a wrong idea, which was extremely wrong. Who is Yu Zhi? He is not the same person before who didn't want to cause trouble and hid from people when he saw him. He asked about the shame of the academy. Ever since he discovered that no matter whether he hid or not, he was a thorn in the flesh of the people behind the scenes, blood for blood and tooth for tooth were one of his principles.
Yu Zhi frowned and stepped on it hard. The force under his feet made Bai Yu frown. This was obviously intentional, as the force made Bai Yu's insteps ache, and her snow-white boots were also stained with mud from unknown places.
"Please give way." Yu Zhi said in a deep voice again. The furrowed brow hidden under his black hair showed his anger.
Bai Yu looked down at the mud on her feet, feeling sick in her heart. He has always been clean of dust, almost to the point of mysophobia. He even carries a sachet with him when he travels. He takes care of his personal image to perfection.
Yu Zhi's kick seemed to throw the plain white silk into the mud and stir it up several times.
"Yu Zhi!" Bai Yu was angry, and his gnashing of teeth looked like the grown-up Bai Li.
Yu Zhi raised his foot, took a step back, shook the phoenix lantern in his hand gently, looked at Bai Yu and said with a smile: "It's just a light step, why are you so excited?"
Bai Yu stretched out her hand and grabbed the skirt of Yu Zhi's chest. Seeing Yu Zhi's smiling face, she felt a surge of anger in her heart for no reason.
"Brother, kill him!" Bai Li shouted from the side. He hated Yu Zhi, and Yu Zhi had to pay for the loss of face with his life.
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhi turned from joy to anger and cursed: "You little bastard has such a vicious heart, no wonder he was thrown out of the city!"
Bai Li couldn't let anyone mention this matter in his heart, and his face instantly became extremely gloomy. No one in the household minister's house dared to mention it, or even discuss it behind his back. Some servants in the house heard that many long-tongued guys have disappeared.
The person who disappeared from the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance was buried in that mass grave.
Bai Li picked up the delicate knife on his waist and walked towards Yu Zhi step by step. Today, he will kill this guy who humiliated him.
"I am the Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and an official of the imperial court. Do you dare to kill me?"
Yu Zhiyan was categorical. He never thought that one day he would use the title of Ninth Grade Sesame Official to scare people. No matter what rank he is, he is an official of the imperial court. If you dare to touch the imperial officials, you are making an enemy of the Chu Dynasty. Is this what a young master from the Household Affairs Bureau can bear?
On the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year, there were not many pedestrians on the street, but there were people like Bai Yu and Baili who went out. At this moment, many people had gathered on both sides of the street, pointing at the three of them. There are many people who like to watch the excitement, and there are also many people who like to hang out with friends.
For a moment, a crowd of twos and threes surrounded the three people, and many people stuck their heads out from the street restaurants to wait for the excitement.
"Come on, come on. Bai Li, the young master of the House of Lords of the Ministry of Finance, went on a murder spree in the street, assassinating the imperial official. Come and see, young and old." Yu Zhi shouted loudly, the more people there were, the safer he would be.
He believed that the impulsive Bai Li would stab his chest with that delicate knife, but he believed that the young man grabbing his shirt wouldn't let his younger brother do this.
Bai Yu let go and threw Yu Zhi towards the ground, then stretched out his hand to stop Bai Li.
Yu Zhi took a few steps back and stabilized the shaking phoenix lantern with his hands, still looking relaxed and happy. "If you don't dare to kill me, I will leave."
Yu Zhi's extremely light words were so harsh in both of their ears.
Bai Yu finally understood why Bai Li hated Yu Zhi so much. Not to mention Yu Zhi's sinister ideas made Bai Li the laughing stock in Kyoto. His sword-like words that pierced his weak spots already put him in a dilemma.
"Yu Zhi!"
This time it was Bai Li who shouted. Yu Zhi stopped and looked at the thirteen-year-old child.
"I will definitely kill you."
Yu Zhi was stunned for a moment, feeling that this pink child was not cute at all. He took a few steps towards Bai Li until there was only one step between them. "Many people have threatened me like this. But I am still living well. On the contrary, the guys who threatened me and wanted to kill me are no longer visible."
Yu Zhi thought of Ning Huan and the armor-breaking sixth-grade archer who died in the hands of Li Haomiao before they met, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
"Although I have a good temper and am a few years older than you, I can't be threatened just because you can!" Yu Zhi stared at Bai Li like a wolf staring at a little white rabbit. Of course, this is a little white rabbit that is very capable of flopping.
Snapped!
Just one step away, Yu Zhi suddenly slapped Bai Li hard on the face.
The crisp sound of the slap was like a firecracker rising into the sky, resounding throughout the long street, and also resounding in the hearts of the people who were watching.
They had already recognized the two neatly dressed men as the young masters of the Household of the Ministry of Finance, and the eldest Bai Yu was known as the number one young master in Kyoto. Little Bai Li also has the style of his elder brother, and will become another Bai Yu in a few years. It is not certain that the Qingyun Trial Ranking will be reopened by then.
Who is this beggar? Claiming to be a court official? If all the imperial officials dressed up like this, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Chu court?
But it was this beggar-looking man who was holding a phoenix lantern and slapped Bai Li when he disagreed. Hot palm prints were printed on Bai Li's face.
"I am an official of the imperial court, how can I allow you to threaten me? The little Huangkou boy actually doesn't take me, the Great Chu Dynasty, into consideration. If I don't beat you up today, I will be serving as an official of the imperial court in vain."
Yu Zhiyi spoke righteously and waved his hand, as if it was business. In order to protect the face of the Chu court, he hit people. It was really a last resort!
The people were not ashamed of such behavior, but they did not dare to discuss it. This man actually dared to hit the young master of the household minister, and he was so unscrupulous that he could not really be a high-ranking official in the court. The young master of the Bai family was beaten, let alone ordinary people like me?
Don't let trouble come from your mouth!
Yu Zhi also didn't expect that this official position would be so useful.
call!
A burst of energy hit Yu Zhi's face, followed by a white palm.
Yu Zhi retreated, then retreated, and took several steps back. In the end, he was no longer able to resist the sudden burst of energy and that palm.
Bang bang, twice.
The first sound was a strong blow to the chest, and the second sound was a palm blow to the shoulder.
Yu Zhi fell to the ground, and the phoenix lantern he was holding in his left hand also went out, and fell far away, as if someone got tired of playing and threw it aside, covered with snow mixed with mud.
puff!
Yu Zhi spit out a mouthful of blood "heartily". Yu Zhi felt a little miserable today. After being ravaged by the embroidered lady, he was beaten with a mouthful of blood by Bai Yu.
"There are so many enemies." Yu Zhi said to himself.
"How dare you commit murder in Kyoto if you are so ashamed?" Bai Yu said with a cold face. This was the first time someone dared to hurt someone in front of him, and the one who was hurt was his biological brother Bai Li.
Just a few months after leaving Kyoto, the House of the Minister of Revenue is already so devoid of dignity in Kyoto? Can the young master of the Ministry of Finance be slapped in the street?
Bai Yu couldn't accept it, and this slap hit Bai Li on the face, and also hit him on the face.
Yu Zhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, put his hands on the ground, then stood up and wiped the dust off his butt. "Now I am the Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." This mouthful of blood had been stuck in Yu Zhi's chest, and now that he vomited it out, it made him feel much better. He would not thank Bai Yu. After all, if the two brothers had not caused trouble, his phoenix lantern would not have been broken.
"Compensate!"
Yu Zhi is very serious. He pointed at the phoenix lantern that was flying farther than him, "If you kill someone, you must pay for your life. If you smash my things, you must pay first." He was even a little impatient. These guys who came out of nowhere always came. Ruin his mood.
...
In Qiu Mansion, Wang Dafu stood in front of Qiu Ruoruo. The girl was sitting and the man was standing. The man was nervously rubbing his hands together. This action had never stopped since he was called to Qiu Mansion from the dinner table at home.
"Miss, Master Xiao Yu will be fine. It's very safe in Kyoto. The brothers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division have been patrolling day and night these days, much more diligently than usual." Wang Dafu explained. However, his stomach rumbled at an inappropriate time.
Qiu Ruoruo originally thought that Yu Zhi would come back on his own after slipping away, but now after dark, there was still no sign of him. When she got angry, she called Wang Dafu over. "It's going to be okay?" Qiu Ruoruo asked, "How do you know it's going to be okay? If something happens, you can just guard the west gate for the rest of your life!"
Hearing this, Wang Dafu did not dare to say anything. Now Qiu Ruoruo looks like a little tigress. If she touches her lightly, she will bite her. "We might as well guard the city gate now!" Wang Dafu thought to himself and lamented, "Master Xiao Yu, how can you run away so well? You should come back soon."
Wang Dafu is close to becoming a husband-watching stone.
The news on the street soon reached Qiu Mansion. Upon hearing the news, Qiu Ruoruo's eyes burst out with a chill that could freeze people instantly.
...
Yu Zhi had always known that his inferior skills would not be able to survive a few moves in Bai Yu's hands. He simply put his hands behind his back, with no defense in front of him, and openly welcomed Bai Yu's attack.
"I have never practiced martial arts. If you want to kill me, just do it." Yu Zhi was very direct, more like a provocation.
Bai Yu had never encountered such a situation before, and said coldly: "I have seen many people seeking survival. I have never seen people seeking death. The shame of asking is surprisingly courageous."
Yu Zhi waved his hand, feeling that the word "integrity" was well deserved. "If you can live, who wants to die? I'm just reminding you. You are the eldest son of Bai, and the second in Qingyun. Although you are weaker than Qing Huan, your official position in the court should not be low, and your father is the Minister of Household Affairs. Being able to exchange my life for you...and your life is worth it." Yu Zhi pointed at Bai Li.
"Hmph, you're not ashamed of your words." Bai Yu didn't believe that the shame of a mere one asked could cost the lives of the two brothers.
"I am the Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a minor official. In the huge Chu court, whenever an adult is brought out, I have to go up and salute you. However, after all, I am also an official of the imperial court, and your brother wants to kill me. , want to kill the imperial official."
Yu Zhi's voice was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.
Someone in the crowd could not help but say something involuntarily - kill the imperial official.
It doesn't matter whether the official position is big or small. When you are in the court, you are a minister of the emperor. How can you allow others to kill you?
Bai Yu squinted his eyes, feeling deeply that the person he despised, the Shame of the Academy, was not as cowardly as the rumors said. This trick is used very well, and it is really a clever trick that adapts to local conditions and the time.
Saying this, Bai Yu must not be able to have murderous thoughts. The same is true for Bai Li.
Even if the Minister of Hubu came, he could not bear the responsibility of killing the imperial official in public.
According to the laws of Dachu, all decisions about life and death of those who serve as officials in the court must be heard by heaven for a ruling.
Yu Zhi was quite lucky, at least the only person who could give him a reasonable and legal death was His Majesty.
"Brother, destroy his legs!" Bai Li shouted.
Damn, this guy is so vicious.
Yu Zhi smiled and looked at Bai Li. The palm prints on his face became brighter and brighter. He felt that the slap just now was lighter. I don’t know how the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance raised such a vicious child.
Then Yu Zhi turned his attention to Bai Li's legs.
Such a look made Bai Li shudder, his legs suddenly became weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.
"What am I afraid of?" Bai Li thought to himself, but he couldn't figure it out himself. "He is just a waste, a waste who has never practiced martial arts. Why should I be afraid of him."
However, Bai Li's body was still cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Bai Yu's eyes also fell on Yu Zhi's legs, "You can choose to cut off your legs yourself."
Yu Zhi looked at Bai Yu as if he were an idiot, and he didn't know who gave him this domineering style.
"are you an idiot?"
Yu Zhi asked about this young man who was as white as jade and lived up to his name, sighing in his heart that he had lost his skin for nothing.
Bai Yu frowned, he had given Yu Zhi the greatest kindness. But Bai Yu felt insulted by Yu Zhi's arrogant words.
Behind the crowd, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps.
Several people wearing Shuntian Mansion police officer uniforms broke into the crowd, making the quiet street a little more noisy and a little more desolate.
Yu Zhi looked at the visitor and saw that it wasn't that enemies were not getting together, it was Wang Shi who brought the Shuntian Mansion police officer. And Wang Shi and Yu Zhi are inexplicable enemies.
Wang Shi naturally had ill intentions in his eyes when he saw Yu Zhi.
"If you fight in the street, someone will escort me back to Shuntian Mansion!" Wang Shi scolded. He was very prestigious among a group of detectives, and immediately several detectives stepped forward with their shackles on.
"Brothers from Shuntian Mansion came just in time. I am the Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. These two people want to kill me. Take them back to Shuntian Mansion for severe torture. Maybe it will be a gap for the enemy." Yu Zhi took the lead and said, He retched several times and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You!" Bai Yu said angrily.
In terms of talking skills, Bai Yu and Bai Li are no match for Yu Zhi.
The policeman was also in trouble for a while.
Yu Zhi had the token of the Metropolitan Procuratorate shining brightly in his hand. Yu Zhi looked even worse, as if he had been beaten up by two people.
The shackles hung in mid-air, and the iron chains rubbed against each other, making a clanking sound that was even more piercing than the cold wind.
Wang Shi and one of the detectives looked at each other, and the man walked towards Yu Zhi, already opening the shackles and preparing to cuff Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi also cooperated and stretched out his hands to wait for the shackles.
"Listen to Wang Shi and you're not afraid of offending me?" Yu Zhi said with a faint smile.
Hearing the threatening words, the detective was slightly startled, smiled softly, and did not stop putting the shackles on Yu Zhi's wrists.
The smile was slightly meaningful, and Yu Zhi guessed that he must be just like Wang Shi.
"We usually have raids and robberies, but we never see the Shuntian Prefecture's policemen. Tonight, we didn't expect them to arrive in time." Yu Zhi said sarcastically, "And why did you only arrest me? These two brothers beat me severely and seriously injured me. , Shuntian Mansion just turned a blind eye, is it possible that Shuntian Mansion has colluded with these two people?"
Wang Shi's face looked ugly, and so did Bai Yu's. The dozens of people watching now will definitely spread the news throughout Kyoto tomorrow.
"Yes, it seems to me that officials are protecting each other. How can the detectives of Shuntian Mansion do anything to the two young masters of the Household Secretary's family?"
Qiu Ruoruo was angry and distressed when she saw Yu Zhi's miserable appearance.
"It's really a bully."
