Ning'er was also a smart girl. Seeing Old Wu speaking for her, Shao Xi nodded again and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shao Xi.
"Ning'er pays homage to the young master. From now on, Ning'er will be the slave in the young master's house. No matter what the young master does, Ning'er will be his maid for the rest of her life."
Shao Xi stretched out his hand to pull Ning'er up and said, "Don't talk about being a slave. You are younger than me. From now on, just think of me as your brother. If anyone bullies you, just tell me."
Ning'er stared at her big watery eyes and nodded vigorously to Shao Xi.
A few people were talking here, and Bai Jinqing was dodging around and interjecting: "Brother Shao, you are going too far. I am being beaten here, and you are taking slaves and maids over there. You recognize your sister, have you ever considered my feelings?"
Bai Jinqing's ridicule made Shao Xi amused. He rushed forward, raised his foot and kicked Lin Tie away.
Although Lin Tie couldn't hit Bai Jinqing before, he still had a good time beating him. He was kicked away by Shao Xi for no reason, and he didn't react. Sitting on the ground, I was still wondering, why did I fight back just because I said I wanted to fight back? Fortunately, I am strong and can't fall to death.
Enough trouble has been made. Yang Yuanfei and his group are no match for Shao Xi and Bai Jinqing. If they continue to make trouble, they will just continue to get beaten.
"Okay! You guys are cruel! Just wait and see how my father will deal with you."
Although Yang Yuanfei was beaten, he was still unconvinced, which made Shao Xi feel very disgusted. He despised the most dandy kid who easily moved his father out.
"Your dad, your dad, you are nothing without your dad, why do you have the nerve to mention your dad?"
While the two parties were in a stalemate, a group of people appeared at the door of the restaurant. As soon as they entered the door, they walked straight towards the two parties.
There were five people in total. The leader was wearing a gauze turban, a dark green official uniform, a silver belt, and fast boots. He had a straight knife on his waist and was dressed as a sixth-grade military attaché. Behind him were four people. Everyone is also dressed as a police officer.
Several people came closer, and the leading military attache asked: "Who is fighting and making trouble in public on New Year's Eve? In Kyoto City, at the feet of the Emperor, how brave are you?"
Yang Yuanfei stood aside and said, "My father is Yang Mucheng, the Minister of Justice, and I am Yang Yuanfei. These people protected the thief and even beat me. They are obviously with the thief. Please arrest them quickly and send them to the Yamen for questioning." "
The military attache glanced at Yang Yunfei and said: "Your father is the minister of the Ministry of Justice, what does it have to do with my handling of cases in Dali Temple? No matter whose relatives you are today, as long as you violate the king's laws and regulations, I will treat you equally and will never Appeasement.”
Bai Jinqing stepped forward and bowed and said: "Your Excellency, Bai Jinqing, I came here today with several friends who are also students of Bailu Academy to spend New Year's Eve. I don't want to meet Mr. Yang who falsely accuses others of stealing. Not only does he insult the woman, but he also touches the woman. It is really against the rules of etiquette, and I really can’t stand it, so I stopped it, and I hope you will notice it clearly."
"Oh? Your Excellency is Mr. Bai Jinqing from Bailu Academy? I have been famous for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet him. I didn't expect to see Mr. Bai today. He is indeed a talented man. I am very polite to you, Si Zhilong Qitai of Dali Temple. Although I am a martial artist. , but I have always admired the knowledge of Mr. Bai Dinggong, and I hope that Mr. Bai can pay my respects to Mr. Bai on my behalf after he returns."
As Long Chitai spoke, he returned Bai Jinqing's hand and was very polite.
"Long Sizhi, I am not qualified to agree to this today. The person next to me is the most qualified person. Let me introduce to you. This is my uncle Shao Xi, who is my grandfather's personal disciple. Disciple, according to your seniority, you should entrust him with this matter, and I don’t dare to overstep it.”
After saying this, Bai Jinqing stood aside with his hands down, looking so respectful that Shao Xi secretly laughed in his heart.
After hearing Bai Jinqing's introduction, Long Chitai looked at Shao Xi with shocked eyes. He realized after a moment and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Shao would have such a high ranking in Bailu Academy at such a young age. He must have received the true teachings from Mr. Bai. His knowledge must be all over the world. If someone below me is disrespectful, please don't blame Mr. Shao."
If Shao Xi had not learned about the influence of Bailu Academy from Bai Dinggong before, he would not have believed that even the officials of Dali Temple admired Bailu Academy so much.
He quickly bowed and returned the greeting and said: "Master Long, this is really an excessive compliment. Although my teacher accepted me as my inner disciple, I really don't dare to boast about my knowledge. I will definitely convey Master Long's greetings to my teacher, and I will express my gratitude to my teacher." Lord Long’s kindness.”
"Mr. Shao is being too modest. There must be a misunderstanding about what happened today. Once I find out, it is because it delayed my husband's New Year's Eve celebration with Mr. Bai and others. I hope you won't blame me."
"I really don't take what Master Long said seriously. When Master Long is on duty, he is acting on behalf of the official family. We should cooperate."
Long Qitai turned around and asked Yang Yuanfei with a cold face: "You said someone stole your money, who was it? Do you have conclusive evidence? If there is no evidence, you must not be allowed to talk and frame others, otherwise you will be considered a member of the imperial court. Mr. Long will also handle the official's family members impartially and will never show favoritism."
Yang Yunfei was not stupid. When he saw Long Qitai, Shao Xi and others being polite and respectful, he knew that he would not be partial to him just because his father was the minister of the Ministry of Justice. In addition, he really couldn't prove that Ning'er had stolen his wallet, so he acted rogue and lost his young master's temper.
"How dare you, a sixth-grade official, openly show favoritism? Just because they are disciples of Bailu Academy, you want to favor them?"
Long Qitai rolled his eyes at Yang Yuanfei and said sternly: "I am indeed a low-ranking official of the sixth rank, but it is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks like a dandy with no fame. Since you said someone stole your money, , Okay! I will investigate carefully now. If someone really stole it, I will deal with it impartially. If it is found that you framed someone else, I will not be polite. Remember, your father is the Minister of Justice, you are not! "
Yang Yuanfei was choked by Long Qitai and was stunned for a moment. He couldn't find anything to say to fight back.
"Okay, you are all in the same group. Just wait for me. I will go back and tell my father! Don't think that your Dali Temple is great. My father is from the Ministry of Punishments. Sooner or later he will take advantage of you."
Long Qitai laughed angrily at Yang Yuanfei's words, "I can't even take off my official uniform. What you said doesn't count, and what your dad said doesn't count. Your dad can manage the Ministry of Justice, but he may not be able to manage Dali. Temple, even if one day I don’t wear this official uniform and I see people falsely accusing good people and bullying good people, I will still take care of them.”
Yang Yuanfei was beaten up, and now he couldn't get any advantage in front of the official family, so he planned to go home and complain to his father. He was supported by a group of servants and left Junxiao Tower angrily.
In Daliang City, there are a few well-known dandy boys who, relying on their elders to serve as officials in the court, are arrogant, domineering and unscrupulous, and they have become a disaster. However, due to his family background, the local government officials could tolerate it as long as they could, turning a blind eye or closing one eye. Ordinary people would avoid him if they saw him, for fear of getting into trouble.
Someone took action to teach Yang Yuanfei a lesson today. Most people in the restaurant clapped their hands and applauded, and some even cheered.
Seeing that Yang Yuanfei and others had left, Long Qitai raised his hands to Shao Xi and Bai Jinqing and said, "Since this matter is settled, I'll take my leave."
Shao Xi stretched out his hand to stop Long Qitai and others, "I see that Mr. Long is not much older than me. How about I call you Brother Long from now on? It happens to be New Year's Eve tonight, and we are waiting for a gathering upstairs. Wouldn't it be better if Brother Long and these brothers went upstairs to have a few drinks with us?"
Long Chitai was immediately flattered when he heard Shao Xi call him eldest brother. You know, being able to call yourself a brother-in-law with Bai Dinggong's inner disciple is a very honorable thing to say wherever you go.
"Brother Shao is indeed a young talent with extraordinary bearing. Since Brother Shao is willing to call me eldest brother, then Mr. Long will be honored. But as the New Year is approaching, the security of Daliang City must be maintained by us. We have official duties." , It’s really not good to drink with you, Brother Shao, come tomorrow! We must have a good get-together if we have the chance.”
When Shao Xi saw what Long Qitai said, he was too embarrassed to force it, so he raised his hand and said to Long Qitai: "Since Brother Long said this, I will find an opportunity to have a few drinks with Brother Long, but I don't know where we will go in the future. How can we find Brother Long?"
"If I don't have any official duties, my brothers and I usually stay at Dali Temple. However, foreign envoys are coming to pay tribute recently. The security in this city is not sloppy, so naturally we will be busy. Let's wait some time! There is always a chance. of."
"Okay, then I will make an agreement with Brother Long to find him if I have the chance."
"It's easy to talk, easy to talk, you go on! I have to go to work too, let's see you someday."
After saying that, Long Qitai cupped his hands and left Junxiao Tower with a few of his men.
After watching Long Qitai and others leave, Shao Xi turned around and thanked Bai Jinqing: "I have to thank Jinqing for today's matter. Not only did you take action for my family's affairs, you also came forward to help us out."
Bai Jinqing shook her folding fan and joked: "Well, you really should thank me. If I hadn't been chased and beaten by others, how would you have had the time to accept such a beautiful little sister?"
How could Shao Xi be willing to admit defeat? So he also teased: "Hey! Could it be that you have fallen in love with my Ning'er? If you like her, just take her back. As brothers, I naturally want to be beautiful as an adult."
As soon as Ning'er heard this, she hurriedly hid behind Lao Wu and whispered, "I'm not going anywhere, I will follow grandpa and the young master."
Bai Jinqing's face turned red by Shao Xi's teasing. He stepped forward and slapped Shao Xi on the shoulder, and said angrily: "You said we are brothers, how can you tease me about this? If this gets out, what will happen to me?" How do I behave, brother?”
"That's right! Our Jinqing has already made up his mind, and he will remain the same until death!"
"Zheng Yuanxiu! You big mouth, wait until I kick your ass."
"Haha! I was right...!"
