Border Cook

Chapter 519 Too ugly
"What she didn't say just now should be the word 'master', but you interrupted her deliberately and sent her away on purpose. Isn't it just to create an image of yourself as someone who has never been married, and to give me a good impression that you can settle the matter?"

"Then he introduced himself and asked about my identity and background. If he wasn't just trying to chat with me, what else could he be?"

"Your idea is actually pretty good, but it's a pity that you're just too dumb and not shrewd enough. Your thoughts are almost written on your face, and anyone with a discerning eye can see through it. It's really hard to fool people!"

Fan Jinglan's string of words came out like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, crackling and leaving Bi Xinghuai no room for any rebuttal, only choking him and making his face turn red.

"But even if you are very smart and can hide your thoughts very well, it is still difficult for people to be fooled," Fan Jinglan added.

"Why?" Bi Xinghuai asked subconsciously.

"You look like this..." Fan Jinglan was full of disgust, "You are so ugly!"

Bi Xinghuai, "……!!!"

It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!
He was a handsome gentleman with outstanding literary talent and romantic manner. Although his face was slightly inferior to Pan An's, he was also extremely handsome, becoming the dream man of many young women.

How come when he arrived at such a barren land like the border, he was considered too ugly?

Bi Xinghuai was burning with rage, gritting his teeth as he looked at the extremely arrogant face in front of him.

The person in front of him had an extremely contemptuous look, just like the arrogant Shen Shujun just now, which was extremely disgusting.

A surge of nameless anger rose up in Bi Xinghuai's heart and rushed straight to his forehead, making him unable to control himself any longer. He raised his hand and swung at Fan Jinglan.

Incompetent rage.

Fan Jinglan's face was full of indifference, and there was even more contempt in her eyes. Without even a glimpse of hesitation, she just raised her foot and kicked Bi Xinghuai in the stomach!

Fan Jinglan has been practicing martial arts since childhood. Although her skills are not as strong as her elder and second brothers and she is not as capable of killing enemies in battle, she still has a certain deterrent power. She used 70% of her strength in this kick, which only sent Bi Xinghuai flying for a distance.

Feeling an intense pain, Bi Xinghuai fell to the ground and could not get up anymore. His whole body was bent like a shrimp and he looked at Fan Jinglan in horror.

At the same time, I was extremely angry.

"Beating people in the street, is there any law and order in Jinqiu County?" Bi Xinghuai endured the pain and shouted loudly, "Call the police, I want to call the police!"

The commotion soon attracted the patrolling yamen runners.

When the bailiffs arrived at the place and saw Fan Jinglan, they were all shocked.

Fan Honghui wrote a letter to inform Pei Chenghe about Fan Jinglan's short stay in Jinqiu County, asking him to take good care of her.

Pei Chenghe naturally did not dare to be negligent. Almost every now and then, he would remind his subordinates to be careful in their duties.

At this time, a riot actually involved Madam Fan. What should we do?
The yamen runner was flustered and hurriedly bowed respectfully, "Hello, Madam Fan. May I ask, Madam Fan, what happened?"

"This man was harassing an unmarried woman in the street. After his intentions were exposed, he tried to beat me up, so I stopped him."

Fan Jinglan said, "It just so happens that you can bring the man back to the county government office and let Lord Pei supervise the punishment."

"Yes, we will take the person back right away. Madam Fan is frightened."

The bailiff bowed and then tried to drag Bi Xinghuai, who was still crying in pain on the ground.

Bi Xinghuai was dumbfounded at first, then anxious and angry. He struggled to get up from the ground and pointed at the yamen runners and yelled, "You didn't even ask me, but you want to punish me based on what others said. How can you do that?"

"Could it be that this Fan family has a strong background, so you runners dare to act so recklessly? I tell you, I am Bi Xinghuai, a doctor of the Imperial College in the capital!"

An official from the capital?

The yamen runners looked at each other, but that was all, they still walked forward and twisted Bi Xinghuai's arm. No matter if you are a doctor of the Imperial College or something, the county magistrate has said that Madam Fan is of noble status and the Fan family is even more powerful. As long as you are not a prince of the current dynasty, the rest can be taken away directly.

No, that's not right. The prince can also be taken away directly!

Bi Xinghuai had not expected that introducing himself would be useless. He thought that these poor and remote people did not know the official rank, and hurriedly continued to shout, "I am a doctor of the Imperial Academy, a sixth-rank official!"

A yamen runner saw that she was shouting until she was hoarse, rubbed her sore ears, and advised her kindly, "Stop howling. Since you are an official in the capital, you should know the importance of the matter. We all call her Madam Fan, but you still don't know what is good for you. How should I describe you?"

"What's wrong with being named Fan? Just being named Fan can..."

Bi Xinghuai stopped shouting halfway, and then he broke out in a cold sweat.

Last name Fan?

Is there anyone with the surname Fan in Beijing?
Or the lady surnamed Fan who is good at martial arts...

The Fan family of Beijing!

It’s over, it’s over. He has offended the Fan family, and even the Queen Mother and the Emperor and Empress’ beloved daughter!

Not to mention anything else, the mere act of insubordination was enough to get him removed from his official position, driven out of the capital, or even imprisoned!

Even if his life is over...

Finished!

Bi Xinghuai's face was ashen, his eyes were wide open, he couldn't catch his breath and fainted.

The yamen runners realized something was wrong. They saw that he had completely fainted, dragged him like a dead pig, and spat at him.

"Why bother Madam Fan? I thought she was just brave, but she was just like a rat."

"I guess he doesn't know. Madam Fan is pretty and she relies on her status as a Beijing official to do whatever she wants. This time she has learned her lesson."

"This will definitely be a memory that I will never forget for the rest of my life."

"It's strange. Jinqiu County is so big, but this guy just went to Madam Fan..."

"What can I say? Good vision!"

He indeed has good vision. No matter whether he is sent to prison or sentenced to hard labor in the future, at least he still has this job. How can it not be considered a disguised iron rice bowl?

What a good vision!
The runners went to the yamen chatting and laughing.

Fan Jinglan let out a breath.

Ying'er at the side was indignant, "What bad luck! Miss went out happily, but she ran into such a scoundrel. It really ruined Miss's mood!"

"It's really disappointing." Fan Jinglan frowned. "There is still such a person with bad conduct in the Imperial College. If he were to teach and educate people, how could he ensure that the students would behave properly?"

After a pause, Fan Jinglan turned around and said, "Let's go back first."

When I get back, I will write a letter to tell you about the interesting things I encountered in Jinqiu County.

After I finished writing the letter, it was almost time for dinner.

I don’t know what kind of delicious meal I’ll have for lunch today.

I'm a little unhappy today because of what happened just now, so I must eat more at noon!
