Chapter 1080 It's you! The scholar who cheated me of my steamed buns!

Seeing the woman wearing a veil, everyone was stunned.

because

I didn’t see it.

This woman was standing there just now, and people did notice her. After all, she was wearing a veil on her head, which was quite eye-catching.

As a result, he came here all of a sudden and took Liu Dongshan's punch.

Naturally surprised.

Among them, Liu Dongshan looked at Su Changan with a frown, and his anger grew stronger. First, it was a small shop owner without any background, then a poor scholar who failed the exam many times and was luckily seen by some dignitaries, and then it was these unruly people around him!

Now!

A woman who appeared out of nowhere dared to attack me, not to mention calling the police! ?

But before Liu Dongshan could say anything, Yang Xian spoke up: "If you really want to report to the authorities! The young lady's action now is to intentionally beat up a scholar. Although Brother Liu and I have not yet become officials, we have achieved honors. According to the Daxia law, beating or insulting a person with honors will result in thirty strokes of the cane. In serious cases, the offender will be exiled to Lingnan!"

Yang Xian was also angry. After all, he and Liu Dongshan were together, and he also shared the shame today.

Even though the Yang family was in poverty, they couldn't stand being humiliated in the street like this!

Liu Dongshan struggled to retract his fist, but it didn't work no matter how hard he tried. However, after Yang Xian said this, he saw the woman in the veil loosen her grip. Thinking that she was scared, he immediately said, "Now you know you're scared! Why do you have to do all this! And it's only forty taels, Manager Sun! I now suspect that you have hired someone to deliberately surround me and threaten and blackmail me! If I report this to the police, how much will you pay me, or can you still open this store!"

Shopkeeper Sun is an honest man to begin with. Although he is well-educated and sensible, an honest man is sensible, and the more sensible he is, the more reasonable he is. Especially since he has a big family to support, he considers himself an ordinary person. How can an ordinary person fight against the powerful and wealthy?

Liu Dongshan had turned black into white with just a few words, and Shopkeeper Sun was also in a panic, "I didn't, Master Liu. It's not like that. That money. I..."

When he said this, Shopkeeper Sun looked at Liu Dongshan and then at Yang Xian, and both of them were staring at Shopkeeper Sun.

Shopkeeper Sun gritted his teeth and said, "No need."

Su Changan helped the hunched-over shopkeeper Sun up, who was about to kneel down, and looked at Liu Dongshan and Yang Xian, "If you want to report to the authorities, then do so."

Shopkeeper Sun was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Su Changan.

He wanted to tell the girl that Yang Xian's father was the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture. If he reported this to the authorities in the capital, Jingzhao Prefecture, he would be like a sheep walking into a wolf's mouth.

So Manager Sun hurriedly shook his head: "You can't report to the police, young lady, you can't, Master Liu, Master Yang, the banquets these days..."

But when Shopkeeper Sun said this, Ma Shitui interrupted him and looked around loudly: "We can't leave now, is there anyone who can help notify the yamen runners in the Jingzhao Prefecture Office?"

When these words came out, Shopkeeper Sun's heart skipped a beat!

Jingzhao Prefecture governed the entire capital city, including the surrounding counties. There was a district office for every three districts in the capital city, with yamen runners to facilitate the people to report to the authorities.

This was done just a few months ago, and it has made many things more convenient for the people. People say that although it looks like Yang Guofu did it, it was actually the Queen's idea.

When Ma Shitui shouted this, the meaning was clear: report to the police!

Then Ma Shitui did not say anything more to Liu Dongshan and Yang Xian, but turned around and bowed to Su Changan: "Thank you for your help just now, young lady."

Su Changan smiled and said, "It's a small matter, Mr. Ma, don't take it to heart."

Ma Si Tui was not a pretentious person. He turned his head and looked at the panicked Shopkeeper Sun: "Shopkeeper, don't be afraid. I am here. In broad daylight, under the feet of the emperor, it is only natural to repay debts. Besides, they were the first to attack me. Although I failed the exam more than ten times, I still have the title of a scholar. If they are in court, we will just go to the court to settle the matter."

Shopkeeper Sun looked uneasy. This was not a reasonable matter at all. If it went to court, people would say that white was black, just like what was happening now.

The people around looked at Ma Shitui, and some of them naturally turned around and ran to the Jingzhao Prefecture Office.

But some people also frowned and thought in their hearts, what a foolish scholar, the person opposite is obviously an official family, you are going to court, aren't you looking for death!

"Humph, I just slipped and was about to bump into you, but this girl came over and attacked me first. If I hadn't immediately revealed my identity and frightened her with the Great Xia Law, I would have been killed by her now! And you, Ma Situi, even stopped me in the street and spread rumors and slandered me, saying that I owed you money maliciously and so on. You repeatedly humiliated me, a scholar of the Great Xia, and you..."

When Liu Dongshan said this, Yang Xian on the side actually didn't expect that the two of them were so decisive, so after calming down a little, he immediately grabbed Liu Dongshan's wrist.

Liu Dongshan looked at Yang Xian, and Yang Xian said, "Brother Liu, there is no need to say more. The government officials will make the decision when they arrive."

The two men looked at each other. Liu Dongshan saw that Yang Xian had something else in mind and hesitated.

But the next moment it dawned on me.

Although Liu Dongshan is used to being domineering, he is not a fool. Especially in the capital, they were specifically told not to cause trouble.

Now Ma Shitui faced him so confidently.

What is the backing for this?

Thinking of this, Liu Dongshan looked at the woman wearing a veil and accompanied by a little girl. Who is she? She knows our identity, but she is still clamoring to call the police?

Liu Dongshan thought for a moment and looked at Ma Shitui: "Brother Ma, you are not thinking that the Lord Jijiu appreciates you, and the Lord Xingbu Shangshu wanted to recommend you in the past, so you rely on the status of these two big men to bully me and Brother Yang for no reason here, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around looked at Liu Dongshan with even stronger disgust in their eyes.

Although there were some rumors in the capital about Ma Situi's refusal to accept the recommendation of the Minister of Justice, there was nothing much to say about Ma Situi's appearance today and his actions of standing up for justice.

And if you really use these two identities, would you two dare to do this when you see Ma Shitui?

It was obvious that Liu Dongshan wanted to force Ma Situi into trouble.

Besides, the incident of confusing right and wrong just now has already aroused public anger, and now many people want to spit on Liu Dongshan.

The Queen is also unlucky!

Having such an uncle!

But I didn't expect that some people would think this way.

Liu Dongshan said, "The Queen is a wise judge of right and wrong. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have taken those two! Don't forget who I am! What is the relationship between my Liu family and the Queen?"

Su Changan glanced at Liu Dongshan through the veil and said, "How could the Liu family have reached this point, or how could you be forced to this point because of forty taels of silver?"

Thinking of this, Su Changan lowered his head and pulled Xia Yuanyuan to his other side. Stupidity is a disease and it is contagious. Don't let Yuanyuan get it.

Ma Si Tui looked at the two of them, smiled gently and said, "Justice is in the hearts of the people and in the laws of Da Xia, not in who relies on whom. I haven't been in touch with Lord Jijiu and Lord Lu for several months. If you think that I, Ma Si Tui, dare to show up here today because of them, then you can rest assured that there is no one behind me, and my past reputation has nothing to do with me today."

After saying that, Ma Situi looked at Shopkeeper Sun and said, "Shopkeeper, don't worry, I will definitely help you get the money back, but if they win, hehe."

Ma Shitui smiled lightly and said nothing more. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Su Changan: "Miss, today's matter has nothing to do with you. I just ask you to leave your name. If I win today, I will naturally remember the favor and repay you in the future."

Su Changan said: "These two have no intention of letting me go, so I will accompany you to the public later."

"Please make way. Please make way."

But just when Su Changan said this, a familiar voice came into Su Changan's ears.

Turning around, I saw Yan Shu finally squeezed in.

Yan Shu still looked gentle, but he looked more scholarly.

After finally squeezing in, Yan Shu saw Ma Situi and immediately stepped forward and said, "Situi, you've made it so hard for me to find you! The teacher has been waiting for you, but I guess the teacher will be here soon."

When Yan Shu came to Ma Situi and saw Su Changan, his expression was stunned.

An extremely familiar feeling suddenly filled my heart.

Even for a moment, the Queen appeared in Yan Shu's mind.

But Yan Shu knew that the Queen Mother and His Majesty would probably take some time to come back. Moreover, if they came back, even if they didn't inform everyone, the Lord Chief Academician and his teacher would definitely know.

So he felt relieved for a moment, thinking that since last year, it has become popular in the capital to imitate the Empress's clothing and dressing style. Many people even wear Nuo masks and veils, and some of them have similar figures to the Empress.

I guess I met someone like this.

While Yan Shu was thinking this, he subconsciously looked at the crowd.

The tall woman who was originally in the crowd was now nowhere to be seen, and he looked down at the little girl who was holding onto the girl's sleeve.

Not the Queen!

After Yan Shu made this conclusion, he looked at Ma Situi and continued, "The teacher has prepared a dormitory for you at the journal, and has also held a banquet for you today."

Ma Situi smiled bitterly: "I may not be able to go."

Yan Shu was stunned.

But this hasn't been asked yet.

Yang Xian hurriedly bowed to Yan Shu and said, "Yang Xian, meet Lord Yan."

Liu Dongshan followed closely behind.

Yan Shu had just noticed these two people, but he was talking to Ma Shitui immediately, so he naturally couldn't pay attention to them, mainly because he didn't know them.

But now that he heard the two names, he immediately remembered their origins. Even though he was an official, Yan Shu was always humble and never took advantage of his high position or flaunted his position. Now he bowed deeply in return: "Greetings, both of you."

However, when they stood up, Yan Shu noticed that the two men did not look very good, especially the way they looked at him.

Yan Shu was already smart, otherwise how could he have passed the examination and become the top scholar? He frowned and looked around. He looked at Ma Situi and was about to speak, but turned his head to look at Su Changan and Manager Sun: "You two, I don't know what happened here, but did these three people have a conflict?"

Su Changan looked at Yan Shu and said with a smile: "They owed this person money and refused to pay, so this person helped to collect the money. As a result, these two got angry and wanted to beat him, and then I tried to stop them. Now they say that I wanted to beat them, and then they reported it to the police. We are waiting for the officials to come."

Just a few words, simple and direct.

"Nonsense! It's obviously..." Liu Dongshan became anxious and spoke immediately.

But Yan Shu looked at him and said, "Master Liu, I am trying to understand this matter. I will not ask Ma Si Tui about this matter, and I would like to ask you two not to say too much."

What is the top scholar?

The one person chosen from among millions of people.

After Yan Shu said this, he turned his head and looked at Shopkeeper Sun: "They owe you money, do you have proof?"

Shopkeeper Sun looked at Yan Shu with some hesitation, then looked at Ma Shitui and then at Su Changan.

Su Changan smiled and said, "This is last year's number one scholar, and now he is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Shopkeeper, you have a certificate to show him."

When Shopkeeper Sun heard this, he pursed his lips and looked at Yan Shu in disbelief, but his mind suddenly came to its senses.

Yan Shu

yes!

Yan Shu!

Yan Sanwen!

Shopkeeper Sun looked at Yan Shu, then at the frightened expressions on the faces of Liu Dongshan and Yang Xian behind him, and nodded: "Yes, yes, there is a receipt with Master Liu's signature on it."

As he spoke, he took it from his arms.

At this time, the people around also realized it.

I didn't react just now, I just felt that Yan Shu's name was familiar.

But then I immediately remembered, isn’t this the top scholar?

A month ago, this man had only three cents on him, but he used these three cents to save an old woman, and carried the old woman to the pharmacy set up by the Imperial Medical Bureau for treatment. He only had three cents on him, and he took out all the money. Later, some people said that Lord Yan only had these three cents on him, and because he had no money, he didn't even have dinner and waited until the next day to get his salary.

At first everyone thought he was just bragging; how could an official be without money?

It was not until Yan Shu's neighbors stood up and said that Lord Yan would buy books and food for poor children, and would give lectures in the markets where people from the Western Regions lived. Books were also needed there, which cost another sum of money. Part of the money would be sent to his mother in the south, leaving only some money for himself. Moreover, as an official, the rice jar would never be half full. The neighbors were even more generous in helping when they had problems.

The matter was not that small, but the problem was that Yan Shu had done many things and they were all known about him. What is a gentleman, Yan Shu!

As a result, more and more people recognized Yan Shu's character.

So he came up with a name, Yan Sanwen.

The people around were surprised and looked at Liu Dongshan and Yang Xian, feeling lucky that a high-ranking official had arrived!

Even though the rank of Bachelor in the Hanlin Academy was low, everyone knew that Yan Shu was the only student of Xun Siye who accepted the tea gift. In other words, he was the disciple of the Lord Chief Academician, Mu Xu, the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty.

This still can’t control the Liu family and the Yang family?

But at the same time, some people frowned. The Liu family is the Queen's uncle's family. How can they control it?

Liu Dongshan and Yang Xian looked at each other, and then at Ma Situi.

I remembered what Yan Shu said just now that he has been looking for Ma Shitui!

The two of them cursed in their hearts, "You bastard, you said you don't rely on the chief priest or the minister of justice, but you fucking knew that Yan Shu would come to you, right?"

He cursed Ma Shitui in his heart for looking honest but actually being a bad person, and at the same time, he frowned and thought about what to do.

only.

Ma Shitui and Yan Shu looked at Su Changan.

Because this person just casually mentioned Yan Shu's affairs, as if he didn't care about them at all.

What identity.

Yan Shu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

But at this time, Liu Dongshan stepped forward and said, "Master Yan, this is what happened. I..."

Yan Shu was puzzled about Su Changan's identity, but when he heard Liu Dongshan speak, he said, "Since we met today, we must ask clearly. When we go to court, I can also testify. If Master Liu was framed, you will be punished. But if Master Liu and Master Yang did something wrong, they must also give an explanation. So Master Liu, please don't say anything more. I will wait and see. And you two better stop talking. Whether the queen should call you uncle, this is not something you can say casually. You can't say it casually."

Yan Shu heard some words from the crowd, so he said the following sentence, but it was also a warning.

But just when Yan Shu turned around to take the things from Shopkeeper Sun's hand.

Su Changan, Yan Shu, and Ma Shitui all heard this familiar voice.

"Mani Maani, why are there so many people? What's going on? Let me see too!"

Among the crowd, Xun Kuang squeezed in like Yan Shu, but Xun Kuang really came to join in the fun.

However, just when Xun Kuang squeezed in, the tall woman Yan Yunxiao led the way in the crowd behind Su Changan, and Xia Fengxiang also walked in with a cloud cake in his hand. Ku Yue followed behind Xia Fengxiang, just in case someone was so blind as to do something.

However, Xun Kuang didn't see that place at the first time.

When he came in, he immediately saw Yan Shu and Ma Situi and immediately scolded them, "What are you two doing here? I'm outside, eh?"

While Xun Kuang was speaking, he saw Su Changan wearing a veil on his head.

But while he was doubting, what made Xun Kuang's heart skip a beat was that he saw Xia Yuanyuan.

Xun Kuang naturally knew Xia Yuanyuan. After all, when Xun Kuang was in Wuping Town and Wuhekou, Xia Yuanyuan was also there.

How could he not have seen this princess of the Chu Palace, the third generation princess of the royal family since the late emperor?

When Xun Kuang saw this little ancestor, he thought he was dazzled and could not help rubbing his eyes.

Xia Yuanyuan also recognized Xun Kuang and immediately raised her finger and pointed at him: "It's you! The scholar who tricked me into giving her the buns!"

PS: There was something unexpected happening at home during the day, so I went out and came back late. Sorry for the late update!

There is a second update, because the work and rest schedule exploded after two days of health.
