C2039 Paying a Visit to the County Magistrate
At this moment, Liu Yuan's father's face was extremely ugly, pale and scary. This was all because he was worried about his son's condition, and because he wanted to take revenge on Huang Feng and the others. The servants were very clear about this situation. So... They were even more respectful to Liu Yuan's father than usual.
"Yes, Lord Patriarch." The guard said respectfully, "They have no intention of leaving. Furthermore, they have never thought of hiding their tracks. After leaving the restaurant, they have been strolling around the streets for a long time. They seemed to be in a good mood, so they finally went to stay at the Pleasure Inn. I saw a lot of people there. "
"Bang!"
Liu Yuan's father slammed the table beside him hard when he heard the guard's words. His expression became even more concealed.
Huang Feng and his men had gone too far. They had broken his son's leg. However, they didn't show any signs of fear or worry. It was obvious that they didn't put the Liu Family in their hearts. Furthermore, after leaving the restaurant, they were still in the mood to go shopping. Obviously, he didn't take this matter to heart. Moreover, he was in a lot of mood. Compared to his son's miserable condition... Liu Yuan's father was so angry that he was about to explode.
If it wasn't for his rationality telling him that he wasn't a match for Huang Feng, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist bringing his men to cause trouble for Huang Feng and the others.
"Prepare a few gifts. I want to visit Master County Magistrate." Liu Yuan's father stood up and said.
"Yes." The guard said.
After that, Liu Yuan's father brought gifts and servants to County Magistrate's yamen.
"Ministry Councillor Liu, rare guests, rare guests, please come in." When County Magistrate saw Liu Yuan's father come in, he quickly greeted him with a smile.
However, although County Magistrate's face was full of smiles, his heart was much more complicated.
Regarding the incident that happened in the restaurant in the evening, County Magistrate had already heard about it. Or rather, everyone in the county had heard about it. Everyone had their own thoughts, but most of them were gloating over someone else's misfortune. Usually, as the biggest family in the city, the Liu Family acted in a high-profile manner. Naturally, there were many people who were dissatisfied with their arrogance. It was only because of the Star Moon Sect that the people of the other families... Naturally, they didn't dare to have any complaints about this.
And now, seeing the Liu Family suffer a loss, Liu Yuan was humiliated in front of everyone, and his legs were broken. Naturally, many people were gloating over his misfortune, and County Magistrate was one of them.
One should know that during normal times, the Liu Family would only suffer because of the Star Moon Sect. They wouldn't even show much respect to this County Magistrate, and they wouldn't even put him in their eyes. Usually, whenever there was a problem, it was County Magistrate who would pay a visit to the Liu Family. It wasn't Liu Yuan's father who came to visit him, this County Magistrate. Therefore... When Liu Yuan's father came just now, only County Magistrate would say that he was a rare guest. Because Liu Yuan's father rarely came.
County Magistrate had some guesses about Liu Yuan's father's purpose of coming here. However, he didn't intend to say it out loud. Instead, he was waiting for Liu Yuan's father to say it out loud.
"It's already so late, and you still came to disturb County Magistrate Wu. I'm really sorry." Liu Yuan's father spoke politely with such a tone. Usually, it was very rare. In fact, he really did not put County Magistrate in his eyes. However, he had something to ask for his father's help today, so he had to lower his attitude.
"It's not a big deal. It's my honor to have Ministry Councillor Liu here." County Magistrate Wu said politely. It was no different than usual.
The two of them entered the main hall. After they sat down, Ministry Councillor Liu also gave his present. This time, he was here to seek help, so the things he gave weren't bad.
"Master County Magistrate is busy with a lot of things every day. This is the pill that my eldest son brought back. It has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind. In addition, it can also improve the constitution, making it immune to all diseases." Ministry Councillor Liu pushed the box to County Magistrate Wu's side and said.
County Magistrate Wu's eyes lit up when he heard Ministry Councillor Liu's words. He said, "This is the treasure of those old Gods and Immortals. It's a treasure that is hard to find even a thousand gold coins."
Indeed, such a treasure was very hard to find in the mortal world. Even if it was occasionally found, the price would be sky-high. At least, it wasn't something that a puny County Magistrate like them could obtain.
"That's right." Ministry Councillor Liu said with some pride.
"You don't deserve to be rewarded for nothing. I can't afford to accept such a good thing." County Magistrate Wu said. However, his eyes were always looking at the box. Obviously, he still wanted this pill in his heart.
"It's nothing. Big Head County Magistrate has always helped our Liu Family. I have long wanted to come and pay a visit. It's just that I have been preoccupied with mundane matters and have never been able to come. I hope Master County Magistrate can forgive me." Ministry Councillor Liu said.
"How can that be?" County Magistrate Wu said with a smile.
"Although this pill is precious, my son is the disciple of an elder of Star Moon Sect. If you want this pill, you can get it. Wait until he comes back next time. I'll ask him to bring a few more for Lord County Magistrate. " Ministry Councillor Liu said.
"How can I accept this?" County Magistrate Wu said.
"Master County Magistrate, please accept it." Ministry Councillor Liu said.
"Then it would be impolite for me to decline." County Magistrate Wu was indeed envious of such a treasure, so he didn't refuse it anymore and accepted it.
Seeing County Magistrate Wu's impatient look, Ministry Councillor Liu couldn't help but despise him in his heart. To an ordinary person, such a thing was naturally a good thing. However, it was nothing in their family. He still had some in his own warehouse, so it was nothing to send one out. He could also do things well, and he could also see how County Magistrate Wu looked like when he had never seen the world. Ministry Councillor Liu felt that he should still stand straight.
The two of them chatted for a while, but they never talked about serious business. Although County Magistrate Wu had taken Ministry Councillor Liu's things, he did not have the intention to ask him about the purpose of coming here.
Regarding this, Ministry Councillor Liu could only secretly say in his heart, "Old fox," but he took the initiative to bring it up.
"Master County Magistrate, have you heard about what happened in the restaurant today?" Ministry Councillor Liu asked.
"What happened in the restaurant? What happened? Which restaurant?" County Magistrate Wu asked with a puzzled expression. It looked like something similar. If others saw it, they would really think that he didn't know about it.
However, Ministry Councillor Liu was sure that the matter regarding his son... This County Magistrate Wu definitely knew about it. It was such a big matter. Furthermore, it had happened in his own family. The news must have spread very quickly. It wasn't that he didn't know about it. It was just that he was pretending to be stupid.
However, Ministry Councillor Liu did not have the intention to expose him. Instead, he said, "Today at Ruyi Restaurant, my son had a conflict with a few foreigners, causing my son to be seriously injured."
"Ah, there was such a thing?" County Magistrate Wu's face was full of shock, and he even stood up straight. It was as if this was the first time he had heard of this matter. "How is your son now?"
"The situation is very bad." Ministry Councillor Liu said, but he didn't tell him the details. He was afraid that he would not be able to control the anger in his heart. Every time he mentioned his son's injury, he'll be in a very bad mood.
"It's really shocking. In broad daylight, there's actually someone who dares to harm your son. This is simply lawless." County Magistrate Wu said.
"That's right." Ministry Councillor Liu said, "I came here for this matter. Master County Magistrate, please punish those thieves and bring them to justice."
This was Ministry Councillor Liu's purpose of coming here. He was planning to use the relationship between the government officials. He wanted to arrest Huang Feng and the others. Although Huang Feng and the others were very powerful, they would definitely not dare to go against the government. Once they were captured, they would be captured by the government. It would be much easier for him to do anything.
"I'm afraid this matter will be a little troublesome." Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Wu didn't agree to Ministry Councillor Liu's request immediately. Instead, he had a troubled look on his face.
"Why is it so troublesome? What they have done is enough to capture them." Ministry Councillor Liu said angrily. He could understand why County Magistrate Wu was pretending to be stupid. However, he had already made it clear that ___ was still pushing him. This made Ministry Councillor Liu unhappy in his heart.
"Those people are foreigners after all. Once they start a case, they will definitely be implicated. We can't arrest them easily." County Magistrate Wu said.
County Magistrate Wu's meaning was obvious. He didn't know the background of Huang Feng and the others. If they had a big background, wouldn't he be looking for trouble by capturing them? Therefore, he wanted to investigate.
County Magistrate Wu's concern wasn't unreasonable. But... Ministry Councillor Liu obviously couldn't wait that long. Who knew how long County Magistrate Wu would take to investigate? At that time, Huang Feng and the others would have to leave. Their Liu Family could be considered to have some reputation here. However, if it was somewhere else, it wouldn't be enough. After all, the radiation of the Star Moon Sect was limited.
Therefore, Ministry Councillor Liu had to deal with them before Huang Feng and the others left. Naturally, he didn't want County Magistrate Wu to investigate them slowly.
"Master County Magistrate, what's there to investigate? I think those people are just the children of ordinary families. They are wearing ordinary clothes, so they won't be implicated." Ministry Councillor Liu said.
"About that, let's do an investigation first. Ministry Councillor Liu, don't worry. I won't let a bad person go." County Magistrate Wu said.
In fact, County Magistrate Wu had already known about what had happened in the restaurant. He even knew what Huang Feng and the others looked like and what they were wearing. He knew all about it. Therefore, what Ministry Councillor Liu said... In his heart, he agreed with what Huang Feng and the others were wearing. They did not have the noble aura and arrogance of a rich family.
Therefore, in County Magistrate Wu's heart, he also felt that they were just ordinary people with some skills. Maybe it was because they were young and aggressive that they would hurt people. Of course, Liu Yuan teasing them first was also a very important reason.
