Chapter 97 Puyang Encounter (3)

Seeing his old cousin's cry, Yuan Yi wanted to save him too!But when he saw Zhao Lei's cold eyes, he gave up the idea of ​​pleading.

"I said, Mr. Yuan, the law and order in Puyang City seems to be not very good! Even a small tea house has so many thugs, I really want to rebel!" Zhao Lei said angrily.

Yuan Yi knew that Zhao Lei was the Changshan prefect who gained fame recently, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and said with a smile: "Yes! Yes! Thank you for your advice, my subordinates will definitely take care of the security of Puyang City!"

"Really? I don't know if my lord will look different after I leave?" Zhao Lei asked back, with something in his words.

Yuan Yi was so frightened that he knelt down again, and said: "I dare not, I promise that I will manage Puyang City well in the future."

Zhao Lei saw the effect he wanted, and then said: "Remember what you said today, and catch me next time, you won't be as lucky as today."

"Yes, yes!" Yuan Yi said quickly.

"Get up," Zhao Lei said with a look of disdain.

"My lord's sudden visit to Puyang City is an honor for my subordinates. I don't know if my lord can give me some face and invite my lord to have a meal?" Yuan Yi said with a smile.

"Use the money from the common people to treat me to dinner, and then send me some property so that I can speak well of you after I return to Beijing?" Zhao Lei continued his words.

"Yes, yes." Yuan suddenly came to his senses and said, "No, no, my lord misunderstood. The subordinates just saw that your lord came to try to be a landlord." Willing hurriedly explained.

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for your kindness. I don't think it's necessary. You should go back! I still have some things to do here." Zhao Lei said coldly. He couldn't look down on officials of this quality the most, so he directly rejected him. No steps were given to him.

"Then this subordinate should accompany you to do business together!" Yuan Yi saw that Zhao Lei didn't take bribes, so he changed his ways to flatter Zhao Lei.

"Are you annoying? My brother told you to get out, so hurry up and get out." Zhao Yun said unhappily.

"Zilong, Lord Yuan is the prefect, you can't be so rude." Zhao Lei said, after all, Zhao Yun is just the captain, and Yuan Yi is the prefect.

"Yes, big brother." After Zhao Lei had said that, Zhao Yun didn't say anything more.

"Master Yuan, thank you for your kindness. I'm just going to do some small things, so go back first!" Zhao Lei said.

Now that Zhao Lei said so, Yuan Yi didn't make fun of himself, and left with his team.

The crowd of spectators dispersed immediately, and at this time a few scholars came out of the Hanlin Academy, and it seemed that get out of class was over.

Zhao Lei then walked over and said to the guard: "Brother, don't you know if I can go in now?"

Before the guard could answer, an old man came out to answer: "What is the trouble in my academy in front of the governor? We are here for studying, not where the governor handles government affairs." The man's tone seemed very rude. .

"Before I had a slight misunderstanding with Yuan Taishou, I'm sorry to bother you," Zhao Lei said.

Zhang Han thought to himself: This old man who teaches is really tempered.

"It's best to deal with the dirty things in the officialdom in private. Don't do these things near our academy, so as not to tarnish the quietness of our scholars." The old man continued to speak proudly.

This sentence is indeed a little too much, but Zhao Lei thinks that he is mainly here to meet Cheng Yu, and there is no need to have the same knowledge as these people.So he didn't speak.

The old man seemed to be getting more energetic as he talked, and continued like a lesson to the younger generation: "Seeing that it is not easy for you to become the governor at such a young age. But the officialdom is getting deeper and deeper, and you have to set foot in it at such a young age." Here, be careful not to extricate yourself in the future.”

Zhang Han saw that the old man was talking more and more vigorously, so he couldn't help but said: "My lord is the governor of the imperial court's crusade army. It seems a bit rude for the old man to do this!"

"What's the impoliteness? As an elder, let me teach the younger generation what impoliteness is." The old man said.

Zhang Han thought to himself, he really is an old antique, and it seems that he can't use his official position to bring him down.But who am I, Zhang Han? No one in the world can debate me.

"It's reasonable for the old man to teach the younger generation a lesson. As the saying goes, you can walk around the world with reason, but you can't walk without reason. How did the old man know that my master is solving the dirty things in the officialdom?" Zhang Han asked back.

"Isn't it? I heard him say bribes?" The old man sneered.

"I'm talking about seeing it with your eye, not asking if you heard it. Why didn't you even answer the question without understanding it?" Zhang Han said.

"Presumptuous, why do you teach me? You are a brat." The old man said.

"You are an old monster in dying years. My lord has always been diligent and caring for the people. In Jizhou, he was loved by the surname of the boss. You, an old nerd who stays at home all day, accuses my lord of being corrupt and accepting bribes without seeing anything in the market. It's ridiculous." Zhang Han laughed.

The old man's face was blue and purple as Zhang Han said.

"Besides, in fact, my lord also brought down a dark tea house for Puyang City, and even helped the people of Puyang. What qualifications do you have to blame my lord for an old man like you who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, who turns black and white, and puts the cart before the horse?" Zhang Han said angrily.

The old man who spoke these words was speechless.

While speaking, a group of burly men came to the door, holding machetes.

Zhao Lei and Zhao Yun immediately thought it was the academy's bodyguards.

"What's the matter, can't I say I still have to fight?" Zhang Han asked.

"Cheng De, tell you, now your son Cheng Yu is in my hands. If you don't let my daughter study in your academy today, I will kill your son." A big man at the head came out and faced the old man Said.

"You stinky bandits, you actually threatened me with Yu'er, it's too despicable. Didn't I say a long time ago that women should stay at home, what kind of books should they come out to read?" The old man's name is Cheng De, and he is Cheng Yu's father.

"I don't care, if my daughter can't go to school tomorrow, just wait to see your son's body!" said the big man.

Zhao Lei thought this incident was really funny. The bandit's daughter kidnapped the owner of the academy in order to study?It's really thunderous!

Cheng De remained silent, depressed in his heart: How can there be any reason for women to study?If you accept her, then spread the word and don't be laughed to death.But the son is in their hands, what should they do.

"Old man, why not let the girl study at home?" Zhao Lei said.

"Nonsense, if a woman doesn't serve her husband well at home, what's the point of going out to show her face?" said the old man.

When Zhang Han heard it, he felt funny in his heart. This old man is simply an antique fighter.

"Then it won't be long before you rescue your son?" Zhao Lei said lightly.

"Rescue them? How? They are the most powerful bandits in the area. How can I save them?" Cheng De said shaking his head and sighing.

"Have you forgotten who I am?" Zhao Lei sneered.

Cheng De just reacted, but due to the conflict with Zhang Han just now, his expression dimmed again.

"Mr., if I rescue your son, I have a request." Zhao Lei said.

"What conditions can you tell me?" Cheng De knew that Zhao Lei was a bad visitor.

"I want to take him away and play by my side." Zhao Lei said.

"No, I will never agree. None of you officials are good people." Cheng De suddenly became furious.

"Old man, didn't my subordinates say that before? I'm not this kind of person. I can swear to God that your son will definitely be able to display his talents with me." Zhao Lei said.

"No need, I will find a way to rescue my child myself." Cheng De looked disdainful.Said.

Zhao Lei didn't expect that the old man was really stubborn, so he didn't insist anymore, and bid farewell to Cheng De.

After Zhao Lei walked out, Cheng De's expression changed, and he sighed: "I thought he was a hero, but I didn't expect him to be no different from those ordinary people, with such a narrow mind." After speaking, he turned and entered the room.

"Brother, where are we going next?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Go and ask the people nearby about the origins of these bandits and where they are hiding." Zhao Lei said.

"Brother wants to help the old man?" Zhao Yun said.

"I don't think that old man would let girls study. If you don't help, it might really be a life!" Zhao Lei said.

"Besides, he was pretending just now. Whether Xiaolei can recruit Cheng De and his son depends on his performance this time." Zhang Han said.

Zhao Lei nodded, already knowing it in his heart.
