Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 168
[Chapter 168 Misunderstanding]
On the street, Zhang Huai, with the help of two followers, got up from the ground, pointed at Lin Xiu, gritted his teeth and said, “You are the son of the Earl of Ping’an, right? You wait for me!”
After that, he said to several followers, “Let’s go!”
A good man will not suffer a loss in front of him. Judging from the kick just now, he is not this man’s opponent. It is better to go back and slowly settle accounts with him.
He did good things by himself, and Zhao Lingjun took the credit. Lin Xiu was holding back a lot of grievances. He looked at Zhang Huai and sneered, “Let’s go, where do you want to go? Beating an old man in the street, insulting the officials of the Qingli Division, and you still want to go, go to the Qingli Division…”
Zhang Huai was used to being domineering on weekdays, and he went to the Qingli Division many times. Hearing this, he sneered, “Hehe, you use the Qingli Division to scare me, go if you want, I want to see if the surname Liu dares to take care of this young master’s business!”
Several followers followed him and swaggered to the Qingli Division.
Soon, in the court of the Qingli Division, Doctor Liu ordered the bailiff, “Give the two young masters a seat.”
Lin Xiu and Zhang Huai sat on a chair each. Doctor Liu asked, “What’s wrong with the two young masters? Why did you come to the Qingli Division?”
Zhang Huai said coldly, “This man attacked me on the street for no reason. Sir Liu, you can handle it.”
Lin Xiu said calmly, “This man beat the old man first, and many people saw it. I was just acting bravely to stop his bad behavior. Is it wrong to act bravely?”
The two first-class young masters each had their own reasons. The Qingli Division never interfered in matters between the powerful. Doctor Liu suddenly stood up and said, “I suddenly had an idea in my mind. “I feel a little uncomfortable, Chief Wang, you can try this case.”
Chief Wang’s eyes widened, and he immediately said, “My subordinate, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, Chief Liu, you should try it.”
Doctor Liu and Chief Wang left one after another. Liu Qingfeng was about to step forward, and Lin Xiu suddenly said, “I will try this case.”
Zhang Huai’s eyes widened, and he said angrily, “Why? What qualifications do you have to try the case? If you can try it, I can try it too!”
Lin Xiu took out a sign from his arms, shook it in front of him, and asked, “Are you also the Chief of the Qingli Division?”
Zhang Huai was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what he meant by “I think my Qingli Division has no one” just now. He was the Chief of the Qingli Division, so wouldn’t he be walking into a trap?
He committed a crime and judged it himself. How could there be such a shameless person?
Lin Xiu flipped through the law book, slammed the gavel, and said, “Zhang Huai, son of the Earl of Anhua, you beat an old man in the street and obstructed the officials of the Qingli Division from handling the case. I now sentence you to thirty strokes of the cane, fifteen days in prison, and a fine of ten taels of silver. Do you object?”
Lin Xiu is now the head of the Qingli Division. Every judgment he makes has a law to follow, and he strictly follows the law. It’s nothing more than giving him the maximum sentence within the scope of the law.
Beating others in the street without causing serious consequences is punished by ten to thirty strokes of the cane and seven to fifteen days in prison.
Obstructing the public servants from handling the case is fined two to ten taels of silver and imprisoned for less than seven days.
These are all written in the law.
Zhang Huai said angrily, “I don’t accept it. You also beat others in the street. How about the kick you gave me?”
Lin Xiu said, “You beat others, and I was brave and righteous. The two cannot be confused. If you learn more about the law, you won’t ask such stupid questions. Come on, suppress him and execute him.”
At the beginning, it was still very useful to keep the position of the head of the Qingli Division. When others didn’t talk to him, he could still talk to them about the law.
But when it came to the execution, no one in the Qingli Division dared to beat him, so Lin Xiu did it himself. After thirty boards, Zhang Huai didn’t even have the strength to howl.
Liu Qingfeng looked at Zhang Huai being dragged away, his expression extremely happy.
Lin Xiu let out the anger in his heart and asked, “Do you have a grudge against him?” Liu Qingfeng
lowered his head and remained silent.
Lin Xiu didn’t care either, and said, “It doesn’t matter. If it’s inconvenient, don’t say it.”
After a long time, Liu Qingfeng nodded and said, “It’s nothing inconvenient…”
Lin Xiu only knew now that Liu Qingfeng had such a past.
When he just joined the Qingli Division, he only had the duty and mission of a constable in his heart. He was once taken back to the Qingli Division because Zhang Huai molested a woman on the street.
That time, Zhang Huai did not receive any punishment, but he suffered Zhang Huai’s revenge. His
fiancée, who had been engaged to him, chose to become Zhang Huai’s concubine under the temptation of Zhang Huai because she coveted the wealth and glory of the Zhang family. Liu Qingfeng’s mother also fell ill and almost died several times. He could have had a happy family, but Zhang Huai ruined his life.
Lin Xiu patted his shoulder and comforted him: “She can be seduced by Zhang Huai so easily, and she is not your good match. You are still young and you will meet better people in the future.”
Liu Qingfeng shook his head and said: “This is her choice. I don’t blame her, but Lord Lin, can only the powerful punish the powerful?”
Liu Qingfeng’s tone was very unwilling, but it was also realistic. Otherwise, there would be no organization like the Tiandao League. If no one is strong enough to make rules, then the law of the jungle will always be the rule.
After a moment of silence, Liu Qingfeng looked at Lin Xiu and said, “Lord Lin must be careful. Zhang Huai is narrow-minded and vindictive. He is a complete villain. He dare not do anything openly. You must be careful that he uses some insidious means to deal with the people around Lord Lin.” There
is really nothing to worry about Zhang Huai.
There are not many people around Lin Xiu. His
parents live in the safest place in the royal capital. As a first-class earl, Anhua Earl dare not and will not do anything to them.
As for his wife, if she dares to have any thoughts about Zhao Lingjun, Lin Xiu respects him as a man. Every year on the anniversary of his death, he will go to their family’s grave to burn incense.
There are two secret detectives guarding Caiyi.
As for the new house, whether it is Lingyin or Qin Wan, they are not easy to deal with, and Lin Xiu is with them, so he has no chance.
Lin Xiu can’t think of what he can do to him.
Even so, Lin Xiu still made some arrangements.
He will not look down on anyone. An insignificant little person may do something earth-shaking.
Huang Tao is dead. The spy bird arranged in the Huang family has nothing to do recently. It just happens that there is a new task, so it is to keep an eye on Zhang Huai’s movements.
Lin Xiu plans to train more of these spy birds in case of emergency.
After Zhang Huai was imprisoned in the prison of the Qingli Division, he was taken away by the Zhang family within an hour.
Anhua Bo came to the Qingli Division to pick him up in person, and the doctor of the Qingli Division did not stop him. The thirty strokes of the cane were incredible. It was unrealistic to lock up the son of a first-class bodhisattva in the prison for half a month.
After learning from his subordinates about the conflict between his son and the son of Ping’an Bo, Anhua Bo gave up the idea of revenge for him.
As a first-class bodhisattva, Ping’an Bo was promoted twice in half a year. He was in the emperor’s favor and should not be offended.
What’s more, he was a relative of Wu’an Hou, and he couldn’t afford to offend him.
Anhua Bo looked at his son who was crying in pain while applying medicine, and said unhappily: “Open your eyes in the future and offend those who can’t afford to offend me less.”
After that, he left in a huff.
Zhang Huai felt extremely aggrieved. He was kicked hard on the street and beaten again at the Qingli Division. After returning home, his father would not let him take revenge. How could he swallow this breath?
However, he also understood that although both families were first-class earls, his family’s background did not seem to be as big as that of Lin Xiu.
The main reason was that the man married a powerful wife, and his father did not dare to offend him.
Zhang Huai cursed him in his heart as a guy who was eating soft rice, but he did not intend to give up. It
was very uncomfortable to hold this bad breath in his heart.
But he did not know how to retaliate.
Speaking of revenge, he actually did not like to retaliate directly against the person who offended him.
This was very boring.
The pain of the soul is far greater than that of the body. He likes to let those who offended him live in shadows and regrets for the rest of their lives.
He called two followers and said, “Keep an eye on that Lin Xiu for me, and see what he does every day and who is around him…”
…
Lin Xiu’s life has been very regular these days, no different from before. He spends most of his time practicing. When he went out, he noticed that two people with extremely poor tracking skills were following him. He also knew that they were sent by Zhang Huai, but he let them follow.
He really wanted to see what other tricks this person had.
Night.
Anhua Marquis’s Mansion.
Zhang Huai lay on the bed, listening to the reports of two servants.
This Lin Xiu, every day, is either at home, in the palace, or goes to a theater to listen to music. Her activities are very regular.
Zhang Huai asked, “What does he do in the theater?”
A servant said, “There seems to be an actor he likes in the theater. The actor is famous in the capital, and has powerful guards around him. Many powerful children, including several sons of the Marquis’ Mansion, have been rejected by her.”
Hearing that it was the actor that Lin Xiu liked, Zhang Huai had some thoughts, but after listening to the servants, he gave up the idea.
He had no tricks against a woman who couldn’t even deal with the sons of the Marquis’ Mansion.
At this time, another servant said, “Master, I found something strange about Lin Xiu.”
Zhang Huai said, “Where? Tell me!”
The servant thought for a moment and said, “Two mornings, after leaving home, he did not go to the palace. Instead, he took a long detour to eat buns at a bun shop in East City.”
Zhang Huai said, “What’s so strange about eating buns? Maybe the buns there are delicious.”
The servant said, “The buns in that shop are delicious, but he is the son of a first-class earl. If he wants to eat buns, he can just ask a servant to buy them. Why does he have to go such a long way just to eat two buns?”
He looked at Zhang Huai. , said: “That bun shop, not only the buns are delicious, but the widow boss lady is so charming. I suspect that she is the outer house that Lin Xiu keeps outside…”
After listening to these details, Zhang Huai smiled and said: “He hid so deeply, he must be afraid that his wife would find out. Hehe, how charming the boss lady is, let’s go and see tomorrow…”
The servant hesitated and said: “Master, we can’t afford to offend that person. If we anger him, he will arrest you and take you to the Qingli Division…”
Zhang Huai snorted coldly and said: “I can’t afford to offend, but there will always be someone who can. I want to see if he can still be arrogant in front of that person…”
…
At night, Lin Xiu sat at the table and was stunned when he heard the words “bun shop”, “widow” and “boss lady” from the parrot.
He swore to his conscience that he really had no intention of calculating the dog emperor this time.
He went to eat buns as usual, and asked the lady boss indirectly if she had encountered any difficulties recently, whether there were any blind hooligans or playboys causing trouble, etc. Although the East City Yamen had arranged police patrols nearby, he still had to be careful about the tasks assigned to him by the dog emperor.
Did that guy misunderstand something?
