The hundred-plus black-robed men parted to the side, and the official men who was rushing over came forward. The one in the lead was the head constable Gou Zhanli who was called Skinner, who had an arrogant att.i.tude. However, he wasn"t an idiot either. He felt a bit numb when he saw the situation on the other side of the battle. However, this was Fanggu city, and everything on the ground was under the jurisdiction of goverment. He was the head constable, so there wasn"t anything to be feared.

Even an ordinary sect would give face to the goverment and watch their faces. If a sect came from outside, there wouldn"t be much concern for him.

To be able to be a head constable at the age of thirty-some, it could not say that he had no skills.

He looked up and down, then smiled coldly. ""Not to mention anything else, but it"s already wrong to see a civil servant. I"m standing, you sit, you"re quite impressive. ""

An Zheng looked up and down at Gou Zhanli, then replied, ""You should bow to me.""

Gou Hazli snorted: ""Have you eaten your s.h.i.t?""

An Zheng smiled and pointed to a metal plaque hanging from his belt.

Gou Zhanli clearly looked at the metal plate and was stunned. He didn"t expect that the opponent would be a military representative. But from the style of the medal, it was from the army.

An Zheng said faintly, ""The Prefect of the Fang Gu Estate is at the fifth level of the Prefectural State, and the Prefect of the Prefecture is at the seventh grade of the Zhen Qi. I am a commander of the Great Swallow Tribe, at six levels. If your Prefect is here, I must bow. But you should see me a gift. ""

Gou Zhanli felt that things were strange today. An Zheng was clearly very young, and he couldn"t possibly have a sixth-grade tooth to be a military ident.i.ty. Unless he was a member of a great family, he would be born with a t.i.tle. However, the t.i.tle of t.i.tle and official position was two different things.

""Your ident.i.ty is fake!""

""I"ve seen a lot of things in the past few years. It looks like you"re no older than 18 years old, perhaps you don"t even have the qualifications to join the army.

An Zheng smiled, ""You"re right. I"m really not at the age of being able to join the army. This sixth-grade iron plate is real. The Great Swallow Army has always been bitter. I gave six hundred thousand silver taels to the soldiers, so that the soldiers of the border army could eat better. However, don"t worry, my identiy will not be with right. ""

The first thing Gou Zhanli had was that he must not do anything drastic. The man looked like a man with backgrounds. The second reaction was that even if he wanted some compensation, it wouldn"t be too good if it affected his career.

""No matter what your status is, you"ve hurt my people.""

Gou Zhanli looked at An Zheng and said, ""According to the laws of Great Yan, we can either go to the court or resolve the problem privatly. I learnt that you came from other place, it"s not easy. So I"ll give you a chance. You can compensate. ""

""How much?"" asked An Zheng.

Gou Zhanli extended a finger, ""Ten thousand silver taels.""

An Zheng nodded: ""Fair.""

He took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed them over ten thousand taels of silver. ""This is the money.""

An Zheng sat, and Gou Zhanli had to bow to catch.

When Gouzhanli confirm that the silver note was not fake, An Zheng said, ""Are you satisfied?""

Gou Zhanli coldly snorted, ""Since it"s your first offense, I can disregard this matter.""

""It"s good that you"re satisfied. Now, tell you something I"m not satisfied with. You, as the head constable of the magistrate court, extorted ten thousand taels without any evidence. According to the laws of the Great Yan, extortions of one thousand silver taels is a big case. Ten thousand, that"s enough for the rest of your life. I"m satisfied you, but you haven"t satisfied me yet. ""

He said to a man, ""Send someone to the Military Ministry, take this, and say that the men from the Martial Arts Academy of Military Ministry have been blackmailed by the magistrate court.""

The man caught the thing and leave.

Gou Zhanli was stunned for a moment: ""What … what do you mean?""

""Being Reasonable,"" said An Zheng.

Gou"s experience was rich, and he began to regret it at this moment. He felt that he shouldn"t have intervened. However, he was already used to it in Fanggu City, and he hadn"t thought much about it before. From the start, he had felt that the other party was a foreigner, so it wouldn"t be too difficult to deal with them. Now, this person was not only a soldier of the border army, but also an ident.i.ty of the Martial Arts Academy … Gou Zhanli"s least willing to provoke was Military Ministry.

The various sub-departments of the capital were as numerous as cattle hair. They would not bow and bow when they saw any of the officials from the magistrate court. In addition, the most unreasonable men in the world were the soldiers of the military. If those military people were to go against their will, no matter who they were, they would never be able to keep up with the matter.

""How about this.""

Gou Zhanli chuckled. ""You should give the money to those who were beaten. However, as a constable here, I must welcome the guests from your field on behalf of Fanggu City. The money, count as my treat to you."" He offered the bills back, but An Zheng didn"t even raise his hands.

An Zheng smiled and said, ""This matter is actually quite simple. I moved over from Fringe City, so the open mediator of your family is lying to us to bully us.

Gou Zhanli interrupted An Zheng, ""It"s only thirty thousand silver. It"s not a big deal to let them back to you.""

He winked and Zhou Wanqian sent someone back to the money. This place wasn"t too far away from the store, and soon, someone came back with a silver ticket. Gou Zhanli handed the banknotes to An Zheng. ""I don"t know who"s going to use it. In the future, in Fanggu City, who can"t use whom?""

An Zheng took the banknotes and looked at them. ""I can"t use you … Besides, thirty thousand silver taels is not even worth nine cents. I don"t need any money, I lack everything. ""

He handed the banknotes to Du Shoushou, ""Make arrangements. Everyone who sees this is going to the best restaurant to eat today. If you can"t eat it for thirty thousand, then pack it.

Du said, ""Alright, I like spraying money.""

When he greeted, the surrounding onlookers cheered up.

""What do you mean,"" Gou Zhanli said.

An Zheng shrugged. ""It"s simple. It"s a result."" You apologize to me now, compensate me ten times for my losses. The agency intermediary closed the door on this matter, and I took out your compound. I just need to stay in the courtyard. ""

Gou Zhanli"s face was pale. ""Don"t go too far. If I"m really p.i.s.sed off, then you won"t have any good results either,"" he said.

""You like to bully people. I also like to bully others, but I like bullying people. For people like you, if you don"t beat me to death with a stick, sooner or later, it will be a disaster. ""

Gou"s face distorted, ""Then come back to the magistrate court.""

An Zheng said, ""Although I"m a consolation prize for a sixth-grade tooth, I"m still here. If you want to take me into the magistrate"s office, you must ask the Military Ministry. Also, do you think that the goverment has been supporting you? I"m telling you, the moment I sat down on this stool, the person who gave you the support was changing. ""

Gou Zhanli furiously said, ""You"re too arrogant. This is Fanggu City, you"re a outsider, do you really think you can cover up the sky with your hands?""

An Zheng said, ""Of course I can"t, but I just happen to be able to take care of your little role.""

Gou Zhanli wanted to be angry, but he didn"t dare to. The aura of An Zheng was too high, and he was at a disadvantage. He had never faced this kind of situation before.

Just at this moment, a few people quickly walked over from afar. The old man in the lead looked like an immortal. When Gou Zhanli saw the old man, his expression changed and he immediately bowed. ""Elder Zhang, why did I disturb you in this matter? No, I can handle this …""

However, the old man who spoke with him normally didn"t even look at him, but quickly walked over to the side of An Zheng, ""I am the manager of the Grand Swallow Academy, Zhang Yifu. I"ve long known that sect master An has come. I didn"t expect him to come so quickly.""

An Zheng stood up and said, ""you are too polite. we have been hurried a bit, so it"s two days early.""

Zhang Yifu said, ""When I arrived in the capital, Sect Master An encountered such a dirty matter. My face really doesn"t look good. I"ve bought a courtyard from four miles away and gave it to Sect Master"an for a temporary residence. If we find a good place to go later, we can move it again. ""

""Thank you.""

An Zheng took the deed from Zhang Yifu"s hands and clasped his fists. ""Greet Mister Big for me, I"ll go over later.""

Zhang Yifu hastily nodded and after exchanging a few more words, he left.

Gou Zhanli"s face became paler and whiter. He knew that he had really met with a tough opponent this time. In the capital, who didn"t know that the Grand Swallow Academy was open by the military? It was said that the main matter of the House of Acropolis could most likely be the grand characters in the highest positions in the military. It was a heavenly word, a heavenly and chaotic world, a magistrate court, and the heaviest power in the army.

Gou zhanli leaned forward and bowed. ""I am also a good friend of Old Zhang. Since we"re all family, why are we so sad? How about this, I"m going to sit down with Old Man Zhang for tonight. It"s just a small matter. It"s just a matter of words, it"s not an unbreakable knot. ""

An Zheng smiled, ""You overestimate yourself. I didn"t take you for a tie, so there"s no need to deal the situation.""

Gou Zhanli awkwardly stood there, but he didn"t do anything.

He thought about who he could ask, smoothed the matter over, and spent some silver to admit it. However, before he was able to finish his shock, Zhang Yifu, the chief manager of the headquarters of the House of Champions, had only walked for a short while.

""Which of the teeth from Fringe City will be fighting for?""

In the distance, a voice like a booming bell shouted.

An Zheng turned and clasped his hands.

A man wearing a military uniform rode over and rolled off his horse. ""So it"s you … I"ve been waiting for you for a long time. My name is w.a.n.g Kaitai, and I am also transferred from the side city to Beijing. I heard that you donated several hundred thousand silver to the border troops and let the soldiers eat well. I"ll thank you for the border soldiers! ""

The man was tall and broad-shouldered, with a straight posture and a vigorous walking. He had a beard, a square face, and a pair of large eyes that contained an expression of arrogance and self-possession.

""I heard you got bullied?""

""Who has bullied our man? An Zheng is the sixth rank tooth general and also a disciple of my martial arts academy.""

Gou Zhanli immediately knelt down. ""General, it"s … misunderstanding, it"s all a misunderstanding.""

w.a.n.g Kaitai snorted coldly, ""Someone, give me all of these b.a.s.t.a.r.d weapons and bring them back to the army. If Fanggu goverment wants people, come to my troops! ""

The surrounding commoners were all stupefied, thinking what kind of Sect Master An"s background was? The six rank soldiers of the border army, the special disciples of the Martial Arts Academy, and the House of Champions had sent a manager to pick them up. Moreover, the head of the sect …

w.a.n.g Kaitai, who had an open and heroic disposition, turned around and put his arm around An Zheng"s shoulder. ""Soldiers and soldiers, they don"t understand the bitterness of the army, and they don"t understand the love of the troops. Come, return to the military with me. ""

An Zheng smiled and said, ""Can I go later, there are so many people still not installed, and women...""

w.a.n.g Kaitai laughed out loud. ""Fine, fine, fine, come quickly.""

In the carriage, Qu Liuxi"s face was a little unsightly. ""What is An Zheng doing? Didn"t you say you wanted to hide? Why is the ident.i.ty exposed? ""

Gu Qianye pondered for a moment, then said, ""Maybe he doesn"t think he can hide it, so he just flashes it off? I don"t understand his thoughts. ""

An Zheng glanced at Gou Zhanli, who was bewildered, knelt down, saying in a low voice, ""Do you know what the wicked people fear the most?""

Gou Zhanli shook his head.

""The evil people are most afraid of people even worse than them. Let me tell you a secret … where I go, the evil people are unlucky. You"re the beginning, but you"re done. ""

An got up and put his arm around Du Shoushou"s shoulder. ""Is the appearance handsome?""

Du said, ""Yes, but aren"t you afraid of the attention?""

An Zheng said, ""No fear, it"s better if the tree is bigger.""

He was smiling so cunningly that no one could understand what he was thinking.
