Chapter 68-The Tree Is Not Big Enough (1/2)
The hundred-plus black-robed men parted to the side, and the official men who was rus.h.i.+ng over came forward. The one in the lead was the head constable Gou Zhanli who was called Skinner, who had an arrogant att.i.tude. However, he wasn't an idiot either. He felt a bit numb when he saw the situation on the other side of the battle. However, this was Fanggu city, and everything on the ground was under the jurisdiction of goverment. He was the head constable, so there wasn't anything to be feared.
Even an ordinary sect would give face to the goverment and watch their faces. If a sect came from outside, there wouldn't be much concern for him.
To be able to be a head constable at the age of thirty-some, it could not say that he had no skills.
He looked up and down, then smiled coldly. ””Not to mention anything else, but it's already wrong to see a civil servant. I'm standing, you sit, you're quite impressive. ””
An Zheng looked up and down at Gou Zhanli, then replied, ””You should bow to me.””
Gou Hazli snorted: ””Have you eaten your s.h.i.+t?””
An Zheng smiled and pointed to a metal plaque hanging from his belt.
Gou Zhanli clearly looked at the metal plate and was stunned. He didn't expect that the opponent would be a military representative. But from the style of the medal, it was from the army.
An Zheng said faintly, ””The Prefect of the Fang Gu Estate is at the fifth level of the Prefectural State, and the Prefect of the Prefecture is at the seventh grade of the Zhen Qi. I am a commander of the Great Swallow Tribe, at six levels. If your Prefect is here, I must bow. But you should see me a gift. ””
Gou Zhanli felt that things were strange today. An Zheng was clearly very young, and he couldn't possibly have a sixth-grade tooth to be a military ident.i.ty. Unless he was a member of a great family, he would be born with a t.i.tle. However, the t.i.tle of t.i.tle and official position was two different things.
””Your ident.i.ty is fake!””
””I've seen a lot of things in the past few years. It looks like you're no older than 18 years old, perhaps you don't even have the qualifications to join the army.
An Zheng smiled, ””You're right. I'm really not at the age of being able to join the army. This sixth-grade iron plate is real. The Great Swallow Army has always been bitter. I gave six hundred thousand silver taels to the soldiers, so that the soldiers of the border army could eat better. However, don't worry, my identiy will not be with right. ””
The first thing Gou Zhanli had was that he must not do anything drastic. The man looked like a man with backgrounds. The second reaction was that even if he wanted some compensation, it wouldn't be too good if it affected his career.
””No matter what your status is, you've hurt my people.””
Gou Zhanli looked at An Zheng and said, ””According to the laws of Great Yan, we can either go to the court or resolve the problem privatly. I learnt that you came from other place, it's not easy. So I'll give you a chance. You can compensate. ””
””How much?”” asked An Zheng.
Gou Zhanli extended a finger, ””Ten thousand silver taels.””
An Zheng nodded: ””Fair.””
He took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed them over ten thousand taels of silver. ””This is the money.””
An Zheng sat, and Gou Zhanli had to bow to catch.
When Gouzhanli confirm that the silver note was not fake, An Zheng said, ””Are you satisfied?””
Gou Zhanli coldly snorted, ””Since it's your first offense, I can disregard this matter.””
””It's good that you're satisfied. Now, tell you something I'm not satisfied with. You, as the head constable of the magistrate court, extorted ten thousand taels without any evidence. According to the laws of the Great Yan, extortions of one thousand silver taels is a big case. Ten thousand, that's enough for the rest of your life. I'm satisfied you, but you haven't satisfied me yet. ””
He said to a man, ””Send someone to the Military Ministry, take this, and say that the men from the Martial Arts Academy of Military Ministry have been blackmailed by the magistrate court.””
The man caught the thing and leave.
Gou Zhanli was stunned for a moment: ””What … what do you mean?””
””Being Reasonable,”” said An Zheng.
Gou's experience was rich, and he began to regret it at this moment. He felt that he shouldn't have intervened. However, he was already used to it in Fanggu City, and he hadn't thought much about it before. From the start, he had felt that the other party was a foreigner, so it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with them. Now, this person was not only a soldier of the border army, but also an ident.i.ty of the Martial Arts Academy … Gou Zhanli's least willing to provoke was Military Ministry.
The various sub-departments of the capital were as numerous as cattle hair. They would not bow and bow when they saw any of the officials from the magistrate court. In addition, the most unreasonable men in the world were the soldiers of the military. If those military people were to go against their will, no matter who they were, they would never be able to keep up with the matter.
””How about this.””
Gou Zhanli chuckled. ””You should give the money to those who were beaten. However, as a constable here, I must welcome the guests from your field on behalf of Fanggu City. The money, count as my treat to you.”” He offered the bills back, but An Zheng didn't even raise his hands.
An Zheng smiled and said, ””This matter is actually quite simple. I moved over from Fringe City, so the open mediator of your family is lying to us to bully us.
Gou Zhanli interrupted An Zheng, ””It's only thirty thousand silver. It's not a big deal to let them back to you.””
He winked and Zhou Wanqian sent someone back to the money. This place wasn't too far away from the store, and soon, someone came back with a silver ticket. Gou Zhanli handed the banknotes to An Zheng. ””I don't know who's going to use it. In the future, in Fanggu City, who can't use whom?””
An Zheng took the banknotes and looked at them. ””I can't use you … Besides, thirty thousand silver taels is not even worth nine cents. I don't need any money, I lack everything. ””
He handed the banknotes to Du Shoushou, ””Make arrangements. Everyone who sees this is going to the best restaurant to eat today. If you can't eat it for thirty thousand, then pack it.
Du said, ””Alright, I like spraying money.””
When he greeted, the surrounding onlookers cheered up.
””What do you mean,”” Gou Zhanli said.
An Zheng shrugged. ””It's simple. It's a result.”” You apologize to me now, compensate me ten times for my losses. The agency intermediary closed the door on this matter, and I took out your compound. I just need to stay in the courtyard. ””
Gou Zhanli's face was pale. ””Don't go too far. If I'm really p.i.s.sed off, then you won't have any good results either,”” he said.
