Chapter 92: Pretend in vain
Governor Xiao has always been unruly and ruthless.
When the drunkard's hand reached out, he habitually flipped his wrist and kicked the other person, who immediately screamed and rolled down the stairs.
In an instant, the bustling hall fell silent, followed by a buzz of discussion as people gathered around to watch the excitement.
The turtle slaves who were guarding the gate and doing odd jobs not far away saw what was happening and came over with sticks in their hands. Xiao Yuan suddenly became the focus of everyone.
Supervisor Xiao's kicking was just a habitual action. It was not until he kicked the man down that he realized that his identity could not be exposed. He quickly grabbed the railing and jumped down the stairs to leave.
The fat man was not willing to do that. He cried out in pain and shouted, "Don't let him run away." The fat man's two followers also hurried over to rob him.
Xiao Yuan frowned suddenly.
What bad luck! If it wasn't inconvenient to reveal his identity, this fat pig would be dead.
Unfortunately, the more he didn't want to get entangled with the other party, the more he kept pestering him. After knocking down two followers in succession, the turtle slave thugs from Nanfeng Pavilion also rushed over.
They couldn't tell anything from the low-key appearance of this pretty boy in black, but Mr. Ding was a big customer of theirs and a rich man, so they certainly couldn't let this pretty boy get away after beating Mr. Ding.
Those who run entertainment venues are all snobbish. They bully the weak and fear the strong, and they know how to play tricks on others.
Fighting was not a new thing in the Qinlou and Chuguan. There were many people showing off their wealth and competing for the most beautiful women. The reasons for fighting were also varied.
But the basic process is pretty much the same. No matter whether it starts with spending money or beating people up, it all ends with threatening words and fighting for support.
One says I am the eldest son of such-and-such family, and the other says I am the brother-in-law of such-and-such master.
One says that I am sworn brothers with so-and-so, and the other says that I am brothers for life and death with so-and-so.
Normally at this time the brothel madam would try to smooth things over, and in the end whoever has the stronger backing would be the winner.
The loser not only loses face but also has to compensate the other party for their losses, even the brothel has to pay compensation.
If the loser is a local gentleman, it would be fine, the madam could just say nice things and extort some money from him.
But if it is a tourist from outside the area, it will be terrible, because the madam will take advantage of the other person's power and will definitely ask for a huge sum of money.
But there is one thing they fear the most, and that is the one who has no money and no power and beats up the distinguished guest and runs away from them.
If the rival is there, there will be conflicts between the two families. If the rival runs away, the distinguished guests who were beaten will vent their anger on their building, and then they will have to pay compensation.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan didn't want to argue and just wanted to leave, the group of turtle slaves concluded that this pretty boy had no power, and attacked him without any scruples, hitting him directly with sticks as thick as eggs.
Since the other party was determined to kill him, Governor Xiao would naturally not be polite. He frowned and started fighting with the group of turtle slaves.
To be honest, the Governor of Dongchang actually belongs to the ranks of military officers, and Xiao Yuan's skills are also honed through countless fights.
A dozen turtle slave thugs couldn't even get close to him and soon they all fell down.
The group of guests and young men who were watching the excitement were also amazed by Xiao Yuan's skills. Some of them even started to cheer and applaud, which made the old brothel owner angry and shouted "rebellion".
Xiao Yuan threw down his stick in disgust and was about to leave, but unexpectedly he heard footsteps at the door and a group of soldiers rushed in.
The madam quickly twisted her hips and ran to the official and threw her handkerchief at him.
"Quick, quick, quickly catch this bandit. He must be tired of living to have dared to cause trouble in our Ruyi Tower.
Don't ask around, there is someone behind me."
The madam's affected voice was enough to disgust the commander.
But this brothel was Ruyi Bo's business and he often took care of the Five Cities Army Temple. No matter how much he hated these dirty things, he couldn't avoid them.
This conductor is a straight man. He not only hates the madam, he hates everyone present equally, whether they are prostitutes or clients.
Therefore, this person looked at Xiao Yuan as if he were a piece of garbage, with eyes full of contempt, disdain and disgust.
When Xiao Yuan saw the officers and soldiers coming, he didn't want to get involved, but the look in their eyes was too presumptuous.
It had been a long time since Governor Xiao had suffered such humiliation. He glared back with his gloomy snake eyes, and his aura suddenly turned cold, scaring the opponent so much that he took a few steps back.
The man realized that he was too embarrassed to face the situation, so he immediately drew his sword and roared.
"You are so rebellious, what does that look mean, are you trying to resist arrest?
Catch him, quickly catch this guy for me."
Upon hearing this, the patrolling officers and soldiers immediately surrounded Xiao Yuan, but the opponent was so skilled in martial arts and his aura was so overwhelming that no one dared to approach him for a while.
Xiao Yuan snorted coldly, "You arrest people without asking any questions. That's how you Wucheng Bingmasi do things."
"How I handle things is not something you, a rabbit, can control. If you know your place, surrender quickly.
I can tell you that resisting arrest is a more serious crime, and you will suffer a lot in jail."
As they were talking, the soldiers were getting closer and closer, and Xiao Yuan estimated the number of the enemy.
It's not that he can't win, he's just afraid that someone might recognize his face and it would be embarrassing for him later.
When the governor of Dongchang fought against Wucheng Bingmasi at Nanfeng Pavilion, he could imagine how many memorials would be submitted to impeach him by the group of old stubborn people headed by Zhang Zhongyi.
If the purpose of his coming to Nanfeng Pavilion was discovered by someone, not only would he be ashamed to face others, but he and his wife would also become the topic of conversation among others.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan sighed helplessly, took out the Dongchang waist badge from his pocket and waved it in front of the commander.
"The East Factory is handling the case, so stay away if you have nothing to do."
You know what, the name of Dongchang is really useful.
After seeing the badge, the commander also started to grumble and spoke more politely, but the matter was reported by the brothel owner.
If the victim keeps insisting, even if he is a factory guard from the East Factory, they will be taken away for investigation first.
When they heard that it was people from the Dongchang, many guests subconsciously retreated to their rooms and dared not watch the excitement anymore, for fear that they would be affected by something.
The fat man lying on the ground was half sober and kept saying it was a misunderstanding and was about to leave.
Unfortunately, the madam refused to give in.
"What's wrong with the people in Dongchang? There are thousands of them. Do you think you are the governor?
My master's aunt is the chief of the Dongchang Division, who is most trusted by the Governor.
It would be fine if you pay the money happily today, but if not, your job is over."
The commander also reacted when he heard this.
Yes, look at the badge this guy is holding, he is just a foreigner. Ruyi Tower has a share of the Dongchang Qianhu, so what does he have to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, the commander's face darkened again.
"If you visit a brothel, you say you visit a brothel. If you get into trouble, you say you are investigating a case. If you do this, isn't this just a recipe for chaos?
Catch them. If you dare to resist again, you will bear the consequences. "
"Let's see who dares!"
As soon as the commander finished speaking, a shrill voice was heard from outside the door, followed by the sound of footsteps. A group of Dongchang barbarians broke in and surrounded the hall in an instant.
As soon as they saw that it was a large-scale operation in Dongchang, no one dared to watch the excitement anymore.
The spectators upstairs and downstairs all dispersed and hid in the rooms, not caring how many people were in each room, they just squeezed in first.
Xiao Yuan frowned as soon as he saw the people coming from Dongchang, but unfortunately, before he could wink, Xiao Douzi and the two captains had already knelt down and called them the governor.
He had kept his identity secret for a long time, but it finally came out.
Xiao Yuan gave Xiao Douzi a speechless look.
You are such a tactless person. I have disguised myself and you cannot pretend not to know me.
Do you really want to let people know that the great governor of Dongchang visited Nanpu Pavilion?
It's no big deal to be embarrassed, but if the lady misunderstands you, will you take the blame for me?
