Chapter 146 Heading to Asahi City
Hang Qi sighed, "No, this is a new regulation issued by the county. Otherwise, if the school is opened without permission, what if it is not used for the right purpose?"
What else can the school do, Lin Xi thought, it was obvious that Hang Qi was just making up an excuse to cause trouble for them.
Gu Songtao had run a school in Fenghe Town for many years and had never heard of these things. It was conceivable that Hang Qi must have learned how to abuse his power.
"Sir, I don't understand what you are saying. Do you have any relevant documents?" Lin Xi asked.
Hang Qi smiled contemptuously and asked the lawyer to hand the document to Lin Xi.
It was written in black and white that anyone who wanted to open a school in Lianggu County had to register with the government one month in advance and pay a deposit of 100 taels before they could open.
It is called a document, but it only has this thing and the official seal.
Lin Xi whispered in Xiao Yongyan's ear, "Does the court really have such a law?"
Xiao Yongyan shook his head, "I've never heard of it. I'm afraid it was something Hang Qi came up with himself."
It seems that he was bullied too harshly before, and now he has learned how to be an "official". He has learned everything from taking advantage of his power to bully others and to cover the sky with one hand.
"If the government really has such regulations, we should abide by them." Lin Xi said slowly, "I just don't know if the academy in Xucheng also follows the same process."
As Lin Xi spoke, she observed Hang Qi's expression and saw that Hang Qi's face was stiff, which was probably consistent with what she had guessed.
"If you can leave, you can go and ask."
At Hang Qi's command, several people surrounded Lin Xi and the other two.
Damn, Hang Qi is serious this time.
Are these three unlucky guys really going to die here?
"Take these three into jail. No one is allowed to release them without my order!" said Hang Qi.
The surrounding officers were ready to rush over with knives and ropes in their hands. Lin Xi knew very well that now was not the time to sit and wait to die.
Without caring about anything else, Lin Xi took out a gold-level bamboo pole from the space and, when the opportunity arose, put it into Xiao Yongyan's hand.
Xiao Yongyan reacted quickly, caught the bamboo pole and swept it across, knocking all the officers to the ground.
No one present understood where Lin Xi took out the bamboo pole from, but time was running out and they didn't have time to think.
Xiao Yongyan swept across again, making way for the three of them.
Hang Qi was horrified and shouted in panic, "Stop them, stop them!"
However, it was too late to say this. Xiao Yongyan went out of the county government gate alone, relying on an inconspicuous bamboo pole and taking Lin Xi and Gu Songtao.
Lin Xi was sharp-eyed. Seeing Hang Qi's carriage, she immediately pulled the two of them in and said, "Let's take the carriage."
Xiao Yongyan reacted immediately, threw the two men onto the carriage, jumped onto the horse's back, and hit the horse's butt hard with a stick.
The horse was caught off guard and started running very fast.
Lin Xi and Gu Songtao were tossed around in the car, but they felt extremely happy.
Hang Qi, who was following behind, was always a step slower and could only see the backs of Lin Xi and the others as they left.
The ground was full of wailing officials. Hang Qi was so angry that he cursed, "It was just a bamboo pole, and you had knives in your hands, but you were beaten like this. Forget your salary this month!"
The officers lying on the ground also felt strange. The bamboo pole in Xiao Yongyan's hand seemed to be harder than stone. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't hurt him at all.
In the carriage.
Gu Songtao was still at a loss, "Where should we go now?"
"Of course we're going to Xucheng. Hang Qi has gone crazy." Lin Xi said calmly.
Xiao Yongyan opened the curtain and said, "Time is running out. We must hurry up, otherwise the gate of Xucheng will be locked."
Gu Songtao sighed deeply, "Since the day Lord Hang came here, I have been worried that he would harm the young master. The young master has come to this point, but they still won't let him go."
"Think about it more positively. Many things are just like this. As long as I'm alive, they will never let me go." Xiao Yongyan's tone was indifferent, as if he was accustomed to this kind of bloody storm.
Gu Songtao sighed, "Master, do you still remember that when you were a child, someone pushed you into the water. At that time, you couldn't swim and almost drowned. In the end, you were saved by a little girl."
Xiao Yongyan smiled and said, "There are so many things like this."
Only Lin Xi felt strange. After all, Xiao Yongyan was a young master from a wealthy family. Wherever he went, there were people surrounding him. How could he fall into the water?
"You are a powerful family, and there are always people who dislike you. If you can't find trouble with my father, you will naturally find trouble with me."
When Xiao Yongyan spoke of this, he sounded calm and nonchalant, as if it was nothing worth mentioning, but Lin Xi heard it as something else.
It turns out that the noble young master's daily life is not easy.
Asahi City.
After hurrying and hurrying, the three finally arrived in the city before the city gate was locked.
As they did not want to expose Feng Miao's presence, the three of them found an ordinary inn to stay in.
Lin Xi asked, "What are you going to do? Go directly to the governor?"
Xiao Yongyan said, "Looking for the governor is naturally the easiest way, but it is not the best way. Do you remember what I said last time? If the Tongque King's family comes, we can make use of their power."
"The Tongque Wang family?" If Xiao Yongyan hadn't mentioned it, Lin Xi would have almost forgotten about it.
"Hang Qi is afraid of the Wang family's power, and the Wang family also doesn't get along with the people behind Hang Qi. We can take advantage of them." Xiao Yongyan looked confident.
Lin Xi really didn't understand all these twists and turns. Since Xiao Yongyan thought it was okay, then that was fine.
While the two were talking, the door of the room was suddenly knocked by the waiter, "I'm sorry, both of you."
Xiao Yongyan went over and opened the door. "What's the matter?"
The waiter's face was full of apology. "Excuse me, do you have a female relative in your room? A female guest in our inn was injured, and no one can help apply medicine. I wonder if you are willing to help. As a thank you, the guest said she is willing to cover all your expenses."
It is indeed inconvenient for a woman to go out, so it is only right to help.
"I'll go take a look." Lin Xi put on a coat and followed the waiter, and Xiao Yongyan hurriedly followed.
The waiter thanked Lin Xi profusely, "Miss Wang, I helped find a female guest."
A soft voice came from inside the room, "Please ask her to come in."
The waiter opened the door a crack and said, "Madam, please come in."
Lin Xi entered the house, turned around and closed the door, then looked around the furnishings in the house.
The occupant of this house seemed to be a particular person. She could smell the scent of spices as soon as she came in.
"Girl?" Lin Xi walked in slowly. There was a woman in plain clothes sitting on the bed. When she saw Lin Xi coming, she quickly lit another candle.
Only then did Lin Xi see her appearance clearly. This girl had a heroic look between her eyebrows and she looked like a strong woman.
The clothes he wears are rather masculine, probably for the convenience of going out.
However, there was something indescribably strange in the way this girl looked at him.
"Lin Xi?"
