After a few breaths of silence, Li Zheng shook his wide sleeves, straightened his expression, took a step forward, bowed solemnly to the ground, and saluted Chu Jie. Tian Lai Xiao said that Li Zheng was following the ancient Qin etiquette of the previous dynasty. In the Jin Dynasty, this was an extremely serious and formal etiquette.

Chu Jie narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Zheng, whose clothing style was quite different from that of people in Jizhou, Minzhou, and Mangzhou.

He had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that the jade pendants, jade hooks, jade belts and other ornaments on Li Zheng were extremely exquisite and gorgeous. The patterns on them were rich and complicated with various flower branches and garlands, which were very different from the style of the three states that mostly used mountains, rivers, birds and beasts.

"You are not a local!" Chu Jie said coldly.

"I'm Li Zheng, the manager of the Qinzhou Li family. Nice to meet Young Master Chu!" Li Zheng straightened up and reported his identity and background in a very serious manner.

"If you are not a local, don't interrupt! Qizhou does not tolerate outsiders making noises here!" Chu Jie also warned Li Zheng seriously: "The Baimang River has no cover, and the water is very deep. Many people can sink."

Li Zheng didn't want to dwell on the concepts of 'locals' and 'outsiders'. He seriously questioned Chu Jie: "Young Master Chu, do you intend to go against the academy? You broke into the academy and disrupted the ceremony of recruiting apprentices. Young Master Chu, do you intend to go against all the scholars in the world?"

"There are so many scholars in the world!" Chu Jie repeated Li Zheng's words word for word. He squinted his eyes and suddenly chuckled.

Xun Yu and a dozen or so bachelors and doctors from the Jishan Academy looked at Chu Jie with gloomy faces. If Chu Jie made any mistake on this issue, he would be asking for trouble.

“How dare you?” Chu Jie suddenly laughed hysterically. He pulled out a pure gold invitation from his sleeve and handed it to a white-clothed academy disciple beside him with a smile: “I’m invited to attend the Longmen Banquet! I’m not here to cause trouble!”

Chu Jie waved his wide robe sleeves and pointed at the head on the ground, shouting in surprise: "Chu Tietu, what happened? I asked you to send the evidence to the prefectural governor's mansion to report the case, how come you dropped it on the ground? You are so careless, what's the point of keeping you? I will deduct three days' wages from you when you go back, and remember to report it to the housekeeper!"

After laughing a few times, a large group of people rushed out from behind Chu Jie. They quickly cleaned up the heads and blood on the ground, and also took the big colorful leopard in Chu Jie's hand out of the academy.

A dozen maids with beautiful faces and a cold aura came up. Chu Jie took off his loose lazy robe in public and changed into a sky-blue formal robe. The maids helped him to tie a bun and put on a tall white jade crown. He restrained the arrogance and murderous look on his face, and appeared in front of everyone with a smile, looking like a wealthy and noble young man in the secular world!

"Everyone, take your seats, let's have the feast! What a beautiful day, with bright sunshine and gentle breezes. It's also a good day for Master Zhou to recruit disciples. Why are you all standing here like an idiot? Come on, let's have the feast, let's have the feast, prepare the golden carp that is worth 15,000 taels of red gold and 421 lives and serve it up!"

Chu Jie shouted loudly with a smile, deliberately mentioning the "price" of the golden-scaled carp that Ling's family prepared for the Longmen Banquet.

Fifteen thousand taels of red gold, that was the money that Ling paid to Chu Tian to buy the golden-scaled carp.

Four hundred and twenty-one lives were taken when Ling Fu led his men to kill Chu Tian, ​​but inexplicably died together with a group of elite state soldiers at Hu Ya Kou.

The Ling family paid a very high price for these ten golden-scaled carps. Chu Jie was slapping them in public and deliberately picking at Ling family scars.

Ling Lu and Ling Yue looked at Chu Jie trembling all over. For the first time in their lives, they realized that Chu Jie was a completely devilish existence. They had never been able to recognize Jie's true face before!

This guy is too crazy, too presumptuous, and too unscrupulous. The way he acts and speaks is like a madman!

When Chu Jie broke into the Jishan Academy, Zi Xiaosheng had already run out of the Meixue Spiritual Building. He was so excited that he almost cried out. The excitement and fun came, and Chu Jie started to make trouble!

Those who like to watch the fun are not afraid of big trouble. Zi Xiaosheng wanted to roar to the sky and let Chu Jie make the trouble as big as possible!

But as soon as Li Zheng came forward and said a threatening word, Chu Jie suddenly became "soft", which made Zi Xiao grit his teeth in hatred! He stood in the crowd, gnashing his teeth at Li Zheng, and occasionally looking at Chu Jie. Why didn't they fight?

It would be exciting if Chu Jie kicked Li Zheng in the heart just like he did to Ling Yue!

The private armies of thirty-two wealthy families including Li Zheng have already landed and are setting up camp outside the city of Qizhou. If Chu Jie and Li Zheng fall out, I wonder if the thirty-two fierce dragons from other places can defeat the Chu family's private army and suppress this local snake?

"Okay, Lu Gu, I'm going to go around and take a look first!" As Zi Xiaosheng left, the hall on the first floor was empty. Chu Tian immediately lowered his voice and said to Lu Gu, "This guy is so weird. I don't know what he wants to do. He even forced an invitation to me, a fishmonger. But now he has gone to see Chu Jie's excitement, so I'll take the opportunity to take a look around."

"Is there something wrong?" Lu Gu asked him in a quiet voice, pressing the strings lightly with her fingers.

"Something is wrong, I feel a little panicked!" Chu Tian frowned and said in a deep voice: "The manager of the Li family, Li Zheng, said that they arrested Agou. Lu Gu quickly asked someone to check it out. If Agou was really arrested, hehe!"

With a strange laugh, Chu Tian turned around and left, rushing out of the hall in a few strides.

Lu Gu shouted softly, "Don't act rashly," but as soon as the words came out of her mouth, Chu Tian ran away without a trace.

She lightly pressed the strings of the zither with her fingers, and a maid from the academy came up quietly with a pot of tea and refilled the teacup on her zither table with a cup of hot tea. Lu Gu lowered her head slightly and gently scolded: "Mobilize all the people in the city to find out where Agou is now. If there is a chance, bring him out; if there is no chance, capture enough hostages from the Qinzhou Li family and prepare to exchange for Agou!"

The maid of the academy carefully added hot tea for Lu Gu, bowed slightly to her, and walked out of the hall on the first floor with brisk steps like flowing water.

"A bit panicked?" Lu Gu raised her head slightly and said softly, "You don't know until you say it, brat. Now that you say it, I also feel that something is wrong. Zhou Liuyun's reinforcements are coming. Is he going to use force? The reputation of Bailu Academy is there, and his own reputation is there. He won't use force."

"Then, what's wrong?" Lu Gu picked up the teacup and looked at the green tea through the thin gauze curtain.

There was no one around, and a bright white, soybean-sized gem suddenly appeared on Lu Gu's fingertips. She quickly dipped the gem in the tea. The tea was still green and the gem was still shiny and clear, with no change in color.

"Non-toxic? The brat said there was something fishy in the tea, but there is no poison in the tea!" Lu Gu put away the pearl, put down the teacup, touched the teacup with her finger, and the tea boiled with a hiss. In the blink of an eye, only half a cup of tea was left.

Chu Tian left the Meixue Spiritual Building and walked slowly towards the backyard of the academy.

He had memorized the map of the Jishan Academy long ago, and soon he arrived at the academy's dining room, where a large group of men and women were busy.

A young woman wearing a red dress, with a shrewd and energetic look in her eyes, was standing under an old plum tree, surrounded by several maids. She was gesticulating and scolding, directing thousands of servants and maids around.
