"Old Lin, you're a high-ranking official, yet you still have to sit on this thing. It's really torture."
"Look at my Beijia, Lao Lin. He's so domineering. He has guns and cannons. He's safe and warm."
"Old Lin, what should I call you, father-in-law? Or Old Lin?"
"I'd better call you Lao Lin, it's more friendly!"
"Lao Lin, you're already in your forties or fifties, right? You're still marrying two sisters. You're really shameless."
"Old Lin, do you think I'll be tricked by you guys when I go to court?"
"But I'm not afraid. Even if I'm gone, there are still thousands and thousands of me."
"Old Lin, do you know? I've already informed Brigadier General Luo. If you guys trick me, I'll have him go back and lead my tens of thousands of Taoyuan troops to wipe out Dayan. Are you afraid?"
"You know, Commander Luo is the most powerful general and the most powerful god of war in Taoyuan. Fighting against you little noobs is just a piece of cake."
Along the way, Liu Mang deliberately let the driver and Lao Lin's carriage drive side by side, then stuck his head out of the carriage and kept making fun of Lao Lin.
Lao Lin was already on the verge of exploding or on the verge of death, and the flesh on his face was shaking constantly.
"Liu Mang, that's enough! Shut your stinky mouth." He finally exploded. He didn't want to die suddenly, probably because he had just taken two concubines, which made him give up on dying suddenly.
"Tsk~~ Old Lin, you're such a shameless old man! You're so angry and mean!"
Lao Lin regretted not having a machine gun. If he had one, he would have been able to shoot the gangster to death now.
After arriving at the gate of the imperial city, Lao Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He finally didn't have to listen to this guy's nagging anymore.
Lao Lin and Liu Mang were the last to arrive. Now the door was already full of high-ranking officials from the imperial court, waiting for the bell to ring.
When these officials saw the armored vehicle that came with Lao Lin's carriage, they all looked over curiously.
From the moment I saw the flag on the roof of the car, I knew that this person was the ruffian lord of Taoyuan City.
After getting off the car, Lao Lin quickly dived into the crowd, trying his best to distance himself from Liu Mang, which was the most important thing.
Liu Mang found that it was very cold outside and he had to wait, so he did not come out immediately. Instead, he stood like a mole, with only his head showing, a cigarette in his mouth, and was watched by the crowd.
What are you looking at? Haven't you seen such a domineering handsome guy? What a bunch of country bumpkins. Liu Mang complained in his heart.
Although he was being treated like a monkey by a group of high-ranking officials, he was not afraid of strangers and was just observing the officials around him.
Not only did he see a few old acquaintances, but he also discovered that a few people looked at him with eyes that were as warm as if they had found their biological father.
Liu Mang was a little confused. How could these people be half buried in the ground at such a young age? And they still wanted to acknowledge me as their father?
No, no, I don’t recognize your son.
.....
A moment later, the bells on the imperial city tower began to ring.
Then he saw these officials starting to enter the imperial city gate.
However, those who claimed to be his father had not made any move yet, as if they were waiting for him.
Seeing this, Liu Mang had no choice but to get out of the car.
"City Lord Liu, I've long heard of your great name!"
As soon as Liu Mang got off the car, several people came up to him and bowed to him.
"Who are you?"
"City Lord Liu, my name is Wang Zheng, the current governor of Zhongzhou, a second-rank official. The owner of Jinzhou Fugui Bank is my nephew..." said the leading old man.
Then the others were introduced, all of them were officials with money-lending backgrounds.
Liu Mang was a little confused. Did he accidentally attract a bunch of capitalists?
But seeing that they all feel like they are the boss now, it’s really good. I like being the boss the most.
He had a group of good younger brothers in the court, and the leader, Wang Zheng, was a second-rank official.
"Aha! So you are one of us! Very good, very good. When you have time in the future, come to my Taoyuan City and I will give you some rare things." Liu Mang said politely.
But everyone took his words seriously, and immediately followed him into the imperial city as if they were the leaders.
It can be said that among these officials, either they were wearing the official uniforms of civil officials or the general armor of military officials, only Liu Mang was wearing something particularly different.
From the entrance all the way to the imperial palace, all the eunuchs and palace maids looked at Liu Mang with curiosity. There was nothing they could do because this guy had such a strong personality.
After entering the court, everyone stood in their respective seats, except Liu Mang, who didn't know where to stand.
Originally, it was based on rank, but what rank was the Taoyuan City Lord? Seventh rank? Even Wang Zheng didn't know where to tell him to stand.
Liu Mang didn't care at all. He stood wherever he liked, but he glanced at Lao Lin and saw that he was standing in the first position on the right.
Liu Mang immediately became dissatisfied and walked straight towards Lao Lin. Then, to the astonishment of Lao Lin and a group of officials, he stood in front of Lao Lin.
He took one last glance at Lao Lin and ignored him, picking his nose by himself.
"this?"
After a while, all the officials came to their senses and started chattering about it. They all looked like they were looking forward to the show, waiting to see how Liu Mang would get into trouble.
Lao Lin knew that Liu Mang would not listen to him, and the empress probably wouldn't dare to do anything to him, so he didn't bother to say anything.
Liu Mang looked around and saw the old man standing in the first place on the opposite side, who kept looking at him with an unfriendly look.
Could this old man be Song Shaohong’s father? He looks like he wants to mess with me.
Liu hurriedly took out a pack of Huazi, picked up one himself, and politely handed one to Song Yuan.
"Come for a Hanako?"
Song Yuan glanced at him and then looked away. Now his son was suffering from depression, all thanks to Liu Mang, so it was impossible for him not to hate Liu Mang.
