Chapter 212 The Governor Visits 2
On the streets of Peizhou City, people stopped what they were doing.
The guy selling steamed buns stopped selling, and the guy pouring tea for customers kept doing the same thing, the tea was flowing down the table without him noticing...
They looked in one direction with surprise on their faces. Those who knew each other gathered together and whispered, but they were very afraid. When this group of people with strange costumes approached, they all hid away.
They saw that their tyrannical governor had a black and swollen eye, his eyes were narrowed into a slit, and he couldn't even walk.
The yamen runner who was supporting him was not in much better condition. When he opened his mouth, his missing tooth was visible, half of his face was swollen, and he walked with a limp.
Almost all the yamen runners following the governor behaved like this...
They walked forward, looking back from time to time. When they met the gaze of Jiang An and his group, they shrank back and walked faster.
They headed towards the Marquis Zhongshun's mansion in this state.
When the little girl saw the people whispering, she ran over.
She approached the center of the gossip, and successfully infiltrated the inside with her delicate and pretty little round face. She told them that the governor of Peizhou was going to the residence of Marquis Zhongshun to put the arrogant young lady and young master in jail!
A grandmother grabbed a handful of dried plums and stuffed them at Jiang An, her eyes full of gossip, "Little girl, are you telling the truth?"
Jiang An threw a plum into his mouth and replied while chewing, "Real, realer than real gold!"
The mother-in-law immediately closed her stall and called her old sisters to rush to the Mansion of Marquis Zhongshun.
Along the way, she told everyone she met that the governor of Peizhou had not arrived yet, but most of the city knew about it!
The petition was written by Qi Shanyuan. If it wasn’t called a petition, I would have thought it was written by some scholar…
The wording was so earnest that even the teacher did not make any changes.
He also asked his classmates to copy several copies, which he now carries with him.
From the villa where Jiang An and his family lived to the Mansion of Marquis Zhongshun, they happened to pass by the largest library in Peizhou...
Qi Shanyuan asked Xie Yunshan to wrap the petition paper around an arrow, draw a bow and shoot it into the library.
The scholars and students who were originally studying articles and engaging in fierce debates were frightened by this sudden arrow, and soon someone discovered the rice paper tied to it.
They unfolded the petition and read aloud its contents. Their faces turned red when they read the fierce words, and they wished they could tear the Marquis's family to pieces right then and there!
Whether it was Jiang An who made the matter known and led the people to the Zhongshun Marquis's residence to watch the excitement, or the young master who shot the petition in the library, the governor of Peizhou who was traveling with him saw it clearly...
The library in Peizhou was famous all over the world. The scholars and students knew about it, and the people of Peizhou knew about it. Even if the Marquis Zhongshun spent money to get his son and daughter out of jail, his reputation would be completely ruined.
Even the Concubine Dowager will be affected...
He walked faster and swallowed his saliva. A little girl and a little boy, they might cause a big storm!
I can't afford it, I can't afford it!
Each one of them is as clever as a little monster!
In front of the gate of the Marquis Zhongshun's mansion,
Many people gathered here, surrounding the gate of the government office. Some smart people pushed their stalls here...
How can you read gossip without having a bowl of wontons!
The doorman stretched his head to look outside, and pulled another doorman, "Hurry up, go find the butler, quickly!"
He poked his head out, pointed at the people who were surrounding the gate, and said, "How can we allow you lowly people to act so presumptuously in front of the gate of the Marquis's mansion?"
"Get out of here!"
There were fearless people among the crowd who mocked the boy, "We are untouchables, but at least we are still human. Then what are you? A dog!"
After these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter, with mocking laughter.
The servant glared at them fiercely and said, "Just wait and see, you will get what you deserve!"
An old lady was cracking some fruit and said, "Who knows who will get to eat the good fruit later..."
"The governor is here!!"
He shouted with a hoarse voice.
The people made way for a path that led directly to the gate of Marquis Zhongshun's mansion.
Facing everyone's expectant gazes, the governor blinked his swollen eyes and straightened his back unconsciously.
Who hasn't been arrogant when they were young? When he was young, he also aspired to be an honest official!
It's been too long since I've felt this way...
The gatekeeper was dumbfounded when he saw the person coming.
He maintained a half-hidden and half-exposed appearance and murmured, "Governor..."
Why is the governor here...
Shouldn't he be arresting people for the Marquis' Mansion at this time?
The governor went up the steps, raised his chin high, and sternly rebuked the servant, "Why didn't you open the door when you saw me?"
He was so powerful that the servant's knees softened and he knelt down happily.
The little girl following behind was originally secretly watching the gathered people. Her ears moved and her eyes lit up.
Don't open the door?
Then go find An An!
She raised her fat paw, "I'll do it! I'll open the door!"
Qi Shanyuan chuckled, are you sure that's called opening the door?
The little girl rushed out with a few whooshes and turned into an unclear afterimage.
Her pair of small shoes stepped on the vermilion door, making a dull sound...
The governor opened his mouth and stared with his eyes wide open, staring at the sunken footprint left on the door when Jiang An removed his foot.
He said, why does this little girl call the young warrior (Huo Changming) brother? It turns out that she is a female warrior!
The people were some distance away and could not see clearly the traces of the collapse.
The noisy chatter of them in groups of three or four came to an abrupt end the moment the door collapsed.
The fruit in the mother-in-law's mouth fell out and her eyes widened like bells.
Is this the little girl who was calling her mother-in-law softly just now?
Some people didn’t believe it, rubbed their eyes, and pinched the people around them, saying, “I am not seeing things… I am dreaming…”
"Ouch!"
The person being pinched gave him a big sinus and said, "Try it too, are you dreaming?"
There was a crisp slapping sound, and the man covered his face with a dull expression, "It hurts, I'm not dreaming..."
The servant also watched the gate collapse. He ran to the mansion as if his butt was on fire, shouting as he ran, "Butler! Lord! They're knocking on the door!!"
Jiang An didn't care about him. He clapped his hands and looked at the governor, "Okay, you can go in now~"
The governor smiled in a forced way, but still flattered her subconsciously, "Young lady is really born with supernatural powers!"
The little girl raised her head proudly, "I can't help it, my dad taught me well~"
Did her father teach her well?
If he remembered correctly, this Second Master Xie was famous in Kyoto for being a playboy...
Without having time to think, he had already crossed the crossbar and headed towards the front hall with the crowd behind him.
We also have to thank Jiang An for kicking down the door of the Zhongshun Marquis's Mansion, so that the people can continue to listen to gossip~
