Chapter 221 The Uninvited Guest

"Chaotic but not chaotic, orderly. They are horns of each other, echoing back and forth. In order to catch me, my lord even used the art of war. Just relying on my lord's method of arranging troops, even if I am given the post of general It's not an exaggeration, I admire, I admire." Lu Jitong praised sincerely.

Before, he never believed the people's rumors, saying that the county magistrate was as capable as the sky, but when he saw him today, he knew that the rumors were true.

"If you want to force your way out, these people in my hands are no match for you at all. What can the so-called formation of troops do to you?" Kang Xu narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

Lu Jitong laughed, put down his wine glass, and stood up suddenly.

The faces of those yamen servants suddenly tightened, and they were about to step forward.

I saw Lu Jitong stood up, stretched lazily, and said with great interest: "You know they are not my opponents, why do you want to make another move?"

"Is it easy to get rid of the 'Nightmare' alone?" Kang Xu thought of the big wild boar that might turn into a roast pig in the back kitchen, and naturally guessed that Lu Jitong possessed martial arts, and the martial arts were absolutely incomparable. weak.

Pausing for a moment, Kang Xu then said seriously: "The reason why you did this is because you are suspected of murder. As the saying goes, 'Evil can never prevail against righteousness', no matter how good your martial arts are, I will try my best to stop you. This is my duty. where."

Lu Jitong looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect Kang Xu to say such a righteous thing.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly stretched out his hands and said, "Your Excellency is very true, 'Evil can never prevail against righteousness'! I have never done anything that is ashamed of my conscience, why should I be afraid of my lord to investigate? If my lord wants to arrest me, I will never resist."

Kang Xu frowned slightly, Lu Jitong's calmness and fearlessness exceeded his expectations.

"My lord, my young master didn't kill anyone, so why did you arrest my young master?" The servant standing behind Lu Jitong was unhappy, and shouted with a displeased expression on his face.

"Don't be rude to your lord. Your lord is aware of the details and will give me justice. Go back and tell my father that I will go back to pay his respects to the old man at a later date." Lu Jitong yelled at the boy, and then said.

"But...my lord, this is clearly wronging you!" The boy said anxiously.

"Whether I'm wronged or not, my lord will decide for myself. I believe my lord will handle it impartially." Lu Jitong waved his hand to let the boy leave. He stretched out his hands and smiled slightly: "My lord, please."

Kang Xu rubbed his nose, he took a deep look at Lu Jitong, saw that his expression was calm and calm, so he beckoned.

Immediately, a yamen servant stepped forward and clamped his hands with shackles.

"Brother Lu, you are very skilled in martial arts. In order to prevent accidents, I have to wrong you. After all, none of these yamen servants can match you!" Kang Xu said calmly with his hands behind his back.

Lu Jitong's expression remained the same, with a slight smile on his face, but he didn't know what it meant.

"take away!"

Kang Xu waved his hands, and then led everyone away from 'Zi Yun Fang'.

Seeing this, the boy became anxious. He looked at the backs of Kang Xu and the others, stomped his feet vigorously, and then trotted all the way to the Chengdong Inn.

Zhengyang County Government, just as Kang Xu brought everyone back, before he was promoted to the court to try Lu Jitong, a group of uninvited guests came.

"Where is Zhengyang County Magistrate Li Canghai?" Before Kang Xu had time to stand up, he heard a cold shout full of anger from outside the main hall.

Kang Xu and Xiao Wu looked at each other, and they walked out at the same time.

After Li Canghai passed out, Kang Xu succeeded him as a fake county magistrate, and Xiao Wu became a substitute teacher. At this time, they heard someone call the name "Magistrate of Zhengyang County", and the two couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

"This is the Zhengyang County Government Office. Who is yelling here?" Kang Xu shouted with his hands behind his back.

I saw a young man dressed as a Confucian scholar walking over angrily with a group of guards.

"You are Li Canghai?" the Confucian scholar looked Kang Xu up and down, and asked in a cold voice.

"That's right, I'm the magistrate of Zhengyang County. Who are you? Why did you bring someone into the Yamen?" Kang Xu was very displeased with the Confucian scholar's rudeness, and replied in a cold voice.

The Confucian scholar didn't seem to care about Kang Xu's tone. He frowned, took out a waist badge from his pocket, and said, "Please take a look, this is the academic order of the Imperial Academy. The reason why I broke into the Yamen was to get May I ask you, let me ask you, Tao Zhaoxue was murdered, have you found the murderer?"

Kang Xu glanced at the waist card, which indeed had the logo of the Imperial Academy engraved on it.

However, what surprised him was that this Confucian scholar also knew about Tao Zhaoxue's murder.

He took a closer look at the Confucian scholar, who was wearing a gown, exuding a scholarly air all over his body.

In addition to these, Kang Xu also saw arrogance and disrespect from him.

Kang Xu frowned a little, as if how did these people enter the Imperial Academy?Could it be that the recruits of the Imperial Academy do not have to pass the moral test?
"If I'm not wrong, you should be Tao Zhaoxue's elder brother, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, Tao Ruozhu, right?" Kang Xu said calmly.

The Confucian scholar looked at him in surprise, pointed to his nose and said, "Do you recognize me?"

Kang Xu smiled slightly, and said calmly: "I heard that Mr. Tao's family is rich and talented, and he was selected into the Imperial Academy. How can you be so arrogant and rude? Although Zhengyang County is not a wealthy county, it does not allow others to come and drink and see off guests!"

As he spoke, Kang Xu waved his sleeves, went straight back to the main hall and sat down in the Nuan Pavilion.

Several yamen servants immediately held wooden sticks and blasted Tao Ruozhu out of the hall.

"Li Canghai, you are so courageous! I am a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and I drafted edicts for the Holy Majesty. How dare you drive me out of the yamen for a mere eight-rank county magistrate?" Tao Ruozhu's face turned blue with anger, and he yelled loudly .

Seeing Tao Ruozhu being kicked out, the guards stepped forward and shoved together with the yamen servants.

The county government suddenly became a mess.

Lu Jitong squinted his eyes, with an expression of watching the excitement, and said, "My lord, it's really amazing that you can guess Tao Ruozhu's identity. However, there is one thing that my lord may not know. Tao Ruozhu's love for Tao Zhaoxue is very important. Plus, now that Tao Zhaoxue has died tragically for no reason, I'm afraid Tao Ruozhu won't let it go so easily, my lord should think of a good countermeasure."

Kang Xu glanced at him, and said lightly: "You don't need to worry about this matter, you should take care of yourself."

Taking a few steps forward, Kang Xu exhaled heavily, and yelled sharply: "Stop it!"

In his whole life, he was stern and full of spirit, containing a majesty that was hard to ignore.

Everyone stopped their movements at the same time and turned their attention to Kang Xu.

"Tao Ruozhu, I respect you as a Hanlin scholar, but don't push yourself too hard! Although I am an eighth-rank county magistrate, I am also a student of the emperor handpicked by the Holy One and approved by the Ministry of Officials. You draft an edict for the Holy Majesty, that is Your glory, but if you think you can bluff me with this, then you are wrong!"
