Gu Shouxin looked at Lu Zheng and laughed, "Young people are really impatient!"
Lu Zheng: "Second Uncle, what exactly did you do? You had someone name names and accuse me of cheating with you? I have no interest in the imperial examinations, and I don't even know where the examination hall is. If you're going to frame me, you should at least explain what happened!"
Gu Shouxin: "You already said I tricked you, why should I tell you what happened?"
Lu Zheng: ...
"Stop your babbling! There's irrefutable evidence that Zhou Yuan helped Gu Shouxin cheat; it's a done deal!" the constable said, unable to stand it any longer.
He had never seen such arrogant people. Their yamen had already said they were going to arrest them, so let these two escape. He had seen fugitives before, but these two not only didn't run away after grabbing the knife and getting off the car, they also started chatting openly.
This shows a complete disregard for the brothers.
"Oh? You're a sure thing? Then tell me what happened. Is your version of the crime the same as mine? Let's see if that corrupt official surnamed Cheng has investigated properly! Don't arrest the wrong person!" Lu Zheng said with a smile.
"How dare you! You dare to call Lord Cheng a... You, you dare to insult Lord Cheng!" The yamen runners dared not speak ill of the corrupt official.
"Want to fight? Let me see your strength?" Gu Shouxin didn't act like he was involved at all, but rather like a bystander watching a spectacle.
"Second Uncle, you're underestimating me! You think you can test my strength with just these few people? We have experience fighting tigers together, how can you insult me with people who have such mediocre skills?" Lu Zheng was indignant. Wasn't this an insult?
"Who are you calling a mediocre amateur? Do you even want to stay in Taoyuan County?" the constable who had his broadsword snatched away shouted angrily.
“He said there are six of you,” Gu Shouxin said.
“Gu Shouxin, you are a scholar. Openly assaulting a yamen runner will be recorded. Openly resisting and becoming a fugitive means you will never be able to take the imperial examinations again,” another yamen runner said.
"I won't run, I'll just watch from the side. If you get injured by him and can't catch the carriage, I'll drive you back to the yamen!" Gu Shouxin said with a smile.
After saying that, he pushed Lu Zheng directly towards those people.
Lu Zheng: Damn it! You should have told me before you pushed it!
Beating up a few yamen runners is a piece of cake.
Gu Shouxin watched Lu Zheng's moves and thought to himself that the kid hadn't practiced his sword skills for nothing that night.
The yamen runners of this Great Zhou are no good. With this level of competence, if there are a few more纨绔 (spoiled brats) like Lu Zheng, the yamen will be ruined!
Well, what's the first thing I'll do when I become an official? Improve the strength of the yamen runners, so that my people are the most powerful within my jurisdiction!
Yes, that's the decision.
Lu Zheng kicked everyone into the car one by one and walked over: "Second Uncle, can you tell me now? What exactly did you do?"
Gu Shouxin shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious. It's best if you don't know. Just answer whatever he asks you later."
Lu Zheng: "...Next time you try to trick me, can you at least tell me beforehand? So I can be mentally prepared. Next time you're taking the exam in the prefectural city!"
Gu Shouxin: "I'm not afraid of the prefectural city, because Brother Ye, whom you're afraid of, has already spoken to me. What am I afraid of? I'm afraid he'll try to curry favor with Brother Ye and deliberately get me the top score in the examination, which would be pointless! So, this is just a one-time thing. Once the Cheng family is dealt with, I won't have to worry about your second aunt and her two children when I go out in the future."
Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up: "My second uncle is such a good man these days!"
Gu Shouxin: Don't think I don't know you've cursed me in your heart before!
