Zhong Yao received news from his subordinates early, saying that there seemed to be a riot in the West Market. Some people were blocking the store, and they seemed to be trying to do something. Zhong Yao was a meddlesome person. Of course,
This is not a derogatory term, but if something happened in the city, he would always solve it personally.
No, as soon as he received the news, Zhong Yao led hundreds of soldiers and rushed from the prefect's mansion to the Western Market.
As a result, before he reached the middle of the crowd, he heard a familiar voice.
"No way?"
If Zhong Yao hears this person's voice elsewhere, such as on the battlefield, on a city tower, or in the prefect's mansion, then he must be eager to do so, because as long as this voice appears around him, it means that it is bothering them.
The matter will be solved soon.
But if this sound appears in the alley market, Zhong Yao knows that something is definitely going to happen to someone.
Sure enough, when Zhong Yao led the army to loudly disperse the crowded crowd, the scene among the crowd came into view.
"Too! Lord Prefect!"
"It's...what kind of wind brings you here?"
Manager Li knew it was better not to get entangled, but he really didn't expect that the other party's casual words would actually come true. Why did the prefect Zhong Yao come?
He was panicking, knowing that there was no point in talking any more. He walked over to Zhong Yao with an apologetic smile, intending to prove that he had not done anything to oppress the people, and at the same time shouted to Yi Xiaotian beside him:
"Boy! Let's wait and see! See you outside the west city gate in three days! You must not run away from the battle, otherwise... hum!"
"What are you humming about?"
What Manager Li didn't expect was that Zhong Yao frowned and stared at him with a stern face and asked.
"Ah...I...that...he, I...haha..."
"No...it's nothing. I just made an appointment with a brat who is still young...hey, why don't you come here in person..."
As a result, Manager Li smiled apologetically. Before he could finish his words, he saw a blooming smile suddenly blooming on Zhong Yao's face. He ignored him and walked behind him.
"Master Yi, you...why are you here? Oh, if you need any help, just ask someone to tell the prefect's mansion no? There is no need for you to come to this market in person...yo! This is not the case.
Miss Luo'er and Miss Yueying? It turns out you are both here!"
"Very well, Lord Taishou..."
Except when Ma Jun is busy crafting, he can stop stuttering. At other times, he still has some difficulty speaking.
But it was important to see Ma Jun greet him proactively, which was quite exciting——
"Hey! Brother Ma Jun actually took the initiative to say hello to me. It's really not easy... It seems that Master Yi's training these days is quite effective?"
When he finally looked at Yi Xiaotian, Yi Xiaotian was smiling:
"Well, it won't be long before Ma Jun can talk properly - we came here today because we wanted to find a Ma household to try out our newly developed object... No, we encountered such a thing just after we left home... First
Say yes, Mr. Zhong, we are not the cause of this matter."
Yi Xiaotian spread his hands and his eyes involuntarily drifted towards Manager Li behind Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao understood it immediately... When he turned around, there was already a sharp look in his eyes. Zhong Yao walked towards Manager Li. This posture finally confused Manager Li——
After a few sentences, Manager Li suddenly realized that he might have made a big mistake.
"Master Yi? Which Master Yi? Is it the Master Yi of the Villa with a Room outside the city?"
He asked himself, but based on the current situation and looking at Zhong Yao's attentive appearance, there should be no second person named Yi in the city who could let Zhong Yao do this -
Of course, what Manager Li didn't know was that Zhong Yao would never be so groveling in normal times - this just fulfilled the saying that has always been true throughout the ages: it is always the uncle who owes money.
Yes, now Zhong Yao is not only trying to maintain order in the city, he is also very concerned about the progress of Yi Xiaotian's research on new inventions. After all, Yi Xiaotian has borrowed thousands of gold from them. If Yi Xiaotian has anything
A mistake, even if it only delays the progress of developing a new invention, may affect the progress of Yi Xiaotian's repayment.
Under such circumstances, how could Zhong Yao not support Yi Xiaotian?
"That... Lord Prefect... is a young man who has little eyesight but cannot see the truth. I don't know that the person behind you is the famous Master Yi Xiaotian... You... Your Excellency, you don't remember the faults of villains... this... this matter..."
It was too late for Manager Li to cry. If he knew that the person who stood up for Mr. Chen was actually the one who eliminated the plague some time ago, and later built a villa and a craftsman's workshop outside the city, making it known throughout the city.
How could he provoke Yi Xiaotian?
"Oh? What's going on? Why did I hear people around me say that Manager Li, you were not only bullying the elderly, but also attacking the elderly?"
Manager Li is really going to cry——
"You...please let me go, I...Master Taishou, you see that Mr. Chen didn't hurt a single hair. I...I just want to compare the speed of the horse with him...If you are not happy,
We...we will cancel this competition right now——"
"Hey! This can't be done! Mr. Zhong! There is no big deal here. I have already discussed it with Manager Li. I can't wait for the game in three days!"
As a result, Yi Xiaotian became more energetic. Under the stunned gaze of Mr. Chen beside him, Yi Xiaotian smiled and shouted to the opposite side:
"Manager Li, please leave quickly. I have nothing to do with you here. Don't forget, in three days! See you outside the West City Gate in three days!"
Manager Li probably never thought that the person who came to his rescue was Yi Xiaotian. Immediately after receiving Yi Xiaotian's message, Manager Li kicked the pockmarked man in the face, and a group of people including people and horses hurriedly rolled and crawled.
Escape.
Finally - everyone saw that Manager Li had escaped, and when they were about to disperse, Yi Xiaotian suddenly shouted at everyone present:
"Everyone! In three days, you must come to watch this horse racing outside the West City Gate. I, Yi Xiaotian, have put my words here. Mr. Chen and his son are definitely not liars!"
Of course... In this case, basically not many people will answer.
On the contrary, Mr. Chen was very old. After hearing Yi Xiaotian's words, his nose became sore and he burst into tears. Ever since he got a real purebred sweater horse that year, their family's luck seemed to have plummeted.
——The old woman left, and when the son was about to marry his daughter-in-law, he planned to sell the horse to raise the bride price, but unexpectedly his leg was broken. The horse was lost, the leg was broken, and the daughter-in-law was gone. His son never
After that, I was saddened by the reputation of a liar.
How much malice must there be for such a simple family to receive such a cold look.
But today... this is definitely the first time in so many years that Mr. Chen has felt the warmth of care.
