The timid people inside were trembling while trying to recall whether they had done anything bad recently.

The brave ones were not much better. Not to mention looking at Li Ruolian, they didn't even dare to peek at her.

The atmosphere at the scene was quiet and eerie.

But there are exceptions.

A middle-aged man in his thirties stepped forward and asked fearlessly, "Excuse me, Commander Li, what can I do for you? If it's not official business, please let us leave immediately!"

"Ha!" Li Ruolian was a little surprised by the middleman's behavior. He smiled and asked, "May I ask your name?"

"My name is Gu Yanwu, and I'm from Qiandeng Town, Kunshan County, Nanzhili!"

"Oh!" Li Ruo Lian deliberately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "No wonder you look familiar, we have met before."

"Have we met? Why don't I remember it?" Gu Yanwu looked suspicious.

Li Ruo Lian laughed: "In the 18th year of my dynasty, during the Nanzhili provincial examination, you, Huang Zongxi, and Gui Zhuang rushed into the post station, holding sticks and trying to beat up Li Gelao. As a result, you rushed into the room and met two people. The old one was Li Gelao, and the young one was me!"

"So... it's you!" Gu Yanwu's memory was awakened again by Li Ruolian's words.

Thinking back to what he had done back then, he sighed and felt very guilty.

He was too young and impulsive at the time, and almost attacked Li Banghua, the then Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

Fortunately, reason prevailed in the end.

Li Ruo Lian looked at Gu Yanwu and asked, "What official position was granted to Lord Gu by the court?"

Gu Yanwu's face flushed, "Fujian...Quanzhou Prefecture Tongpan!"

"That's pretty good, a sixth-rank official!" Li Ruolian congratulated sincerely.

Gu Yanwu smiled awkwardly at first, then asked seriously, "Commander Li, is there anything wrong? If not, please let us go!"
