As the steward of Gaofu Yamen, Gao Changqing was comfortably hugging his newly married concubine and having sweet dreams. He was suddenly awakened by a burst of noise outside. Then before he could get angry, there was someone hurriedly outside. He rushed into the room to report.
"High-ranking officials! High-ranking officials! Oh no, Magistrate Hong has sent someone to knock on the door!"
"What? Called at the door? Who called at the door? Which Hong County Magistrate?"
Gao Changqing, who was awakened, didn't react for a moment. He got up from the bed in confusion and subconsciously asked the person who reported the news.
"And that Magistrate Hong? That's Magistrate Hong from the county government office in the city!" The man who came to report the news was full of anxiety at the moment. He didn't even care to look at the concubine on the bed, and kept looking at her. He pointed at the front yard and said anxiously: "I don't know why he is so crazy today. He sent someone to our Yamen this morning to find a thief. The younger one told him that there was no thief hiding in the house, so he sent him away. Unexpectedly, he In the afternoon, we actually sent someone to beat us! Now several of our brothers have been beaten!"
"Magistrate Hong from the county government office? He dares to come to our house and ask for someone? And beat him up? He's crazy!"
After listening to the words of the person who reported the message in a daze, Gao Changqing finally regained some clarity. He suddenly became furious and jumped out of bed without wearing any clothes: "Let's go! Take me to see! See if he ate it." Bear heart, you still took the courage of a leopard and dared to come to our house to cause trouble!"
"Okay, sir, clothes, don't leave, put on your clothes first..."

When Gao Fu entered the second courtyard, Liu Hongji, who had come all the way, was holding his hands on his hips and laughing!
I have been in Lingnan for such a long time. During this period, I either hide and hide like a mouse, or I encounter a peerless and vicious person like Feng An, and I have to hold back my anger.
Liu Hongji, who is bold and unruly by nature, has long accumulated a lot of anger and has no place to vent it. Now he can finally seize the opportunity and let out a big sigh of relief. How can he not be overjoyed?
"Where are the people! Why aren't they here? In such a big yard, there isn't even anyone who can fight?"
When he came to the second entrance courtyard, looking at the closed doors all around, and the few pairs of frightened eyes that occasionally flashed past the third entrance to the moon door, Liu Hongji spat hard and yelled in front of him.
It’s been a long time since I hit someone, and my hands are a little raw. The first time I hit someone, it feels quite good! But the only drawback is: the people here are a little too cunning! With just one punch from him, they fell to the ground and refused to get up, scaring the others so much that they ran away without a trace! How can it be as satisfying as when we were in Guanzhong, even if the opponent was beaten half to death, he still had to grit his teeth and rush forward to continue fighting with all his strength?
"Hey, I'm so cowardly!"
"presumptuous!"
Just when Liu Hongji lamented that it was hard to find human sandbags, Gao Changqing, who was in disheveled clothes, finally rushed over from the backyard. When he came in a hurry, his eyes widened when he saw Liu Hongji acting unscrupulously in the courtyard. .
"Who are you? Do you know where this is?!"
Pointing at Liu Hongji's nose, he cursed at the top of his lungs. Gao Changqing, who felt his lungs were about to explode with anger, didn't even notice. The man who had been following him casually saw this scene and immediately shuddered, and then hurriedly took advantage of no one to notice. He quietly retreated from the courtyard gate.
"Who am I?" Regardless of the servant who retreated, Liu Hongji, who was pointed at and scolded, laughed ferociously, rubbed his fists, and walked towards Gao Changqing step by step: "I am the head of the ninth grade class of the county government, Zhang San! Look! You are so arrogant, but I don’t know who you are? What rank and level are you?"
"I am the sixth grade magistrate of Luozhou!!!" Gao Changqing's eyes widened angrily, pointing at his clothes and yelling at Liu Hongji: "Bold maniac, don't kneel down when you see me!"
"kneel?"
Liu Hongji had already walked in front of Gao Changqing at this time. Looking at this guy who was a head shorter than him, Old Liu grinned, showing his white teeth and said: "I will kneel to the sky and kneel to my ancestors in this life. I just haven’t served as an official before! Hey, Zhizi, you said you are a sixth-grade prefect, do you have official appointments? Do you have official documents? "
"this……"
Obviously, facing Liu Hongji, who looked like a ferocious beast from ancient times, Gao Changqing was instantly frightened!
Swallowing hard, Gao Changqing tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, pointed at the surroundings and said angrily: "We are the Gaofu Yamen! The head of the family has the right to appoint officials by himself, without going through the court!"
"Oh, really?"
When Liu Hongji heard this, he picked his ears and sneered in a bad way: "In other words, you have not been granted a royal seal by the imperial court? Then isn't this a disorder of life? If you dare to be so arrogant under a disorder of life, I think you are the one who buys and kills people. Guy, come here! Capture him for me! Return to the Yamen later and interrogate him properly!"
"You dare to arrest me?!" Gao Changqing and Liu Hongji didn't look like they were scaring him. They were frightened and angry at the same time. His whole body trembled. Just as he was about to continue scolding, the sturdy government servants had already charged away with grins. He came up, and then carried him out like a chicken.
"How dare you?"
"I am from the Gaofu family, and our family head has been granted a title by His Majesty! We are a wealthy family in Lingnan! Even Mr. Feng wants to give us some respect!"
Seeing Gao Changqing, who was still dishonest even after being lifted into the air, a naive handyman frowned and said: "Liu...ahem, Brother Zhang, he is too noisy, why don't we put him Shut your mouth!"
When Liu Hongji heard the idiot almost shouting his name, he immediately glared at him: "You can block it if you want. Is this something worth asking me?"
"Oh, then just block it." The idiot didn't care at all about Liu Hongji's attitude. He scratched his head and started looking around for something to gag.
"Eh? Brother Liu, can you lend me your socks?"
"My socks? Don't you have some too?"
"Hey, don't mine stink less than yours? Last time we were camping, I saw a fox on the mountain running up to your shoes, smelled them, and then turned them aside on the spot. I can't do this with such skill!"
"Uh... whatever you want."
"Don't, don't! I can shut up, don't... ow!"
————————
"Come out, come out!"
"Hey, look! Who did they arrest?"
"Gao Changqing? They dare to arrest you! Aren't you afraid of revenge from the Gao family?"
"It's over, it's over. Fatty Hong should feed the fish tomorrow."
In front of the gate of Gao Mansion, there was a crowd of onlookers. When they saw Liu Hongji swaggering out of it, with several of his men behind him holding their heads down, Gao Changqing, who didn't know his birthday, immediately exploded in the originally quiet scene. As if the pot was boiling, countless eyes were focused on Liu Hongji and Gao Changqing.
However, in the face of so many people, Liu Hongji was still complacent. Not only did he not disperse the crowd, he also deliberately moved Gao Changqing forward, who had a sock stuffed in his mouth, so that others could see his face clearly.
