The people watching outside the government office have not dispersed.

Qi Zhixue is still among them.

He just wondered if Li Chenan, the good-for-nothing but favored by the third lady of the Zhongli Mansion, could fish him out.

He got some news these days.

This news is certainly not good news.

For example, there are rumors that the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers" was written by Li Chenan.

For example, the third lady of Zhongli Mansion seems to have become interested in Li Chenan because of the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers".

So in that cultural gathering on March 3rd, the bad guy was Li Chenan!

But after some investigation, he originally thought that Li Chenan was a great person in Guangling City, but unexpectedly the news he got said that he was a fool!...

This made Qi Zhixue feel a little uncomfortable——

Young Master, I am one of the four most talented men in the capital, but I lost to a fool!

There is obviously something hidden here, but we just need to understand it more deeply.

Today I am going to Zhongli Mansion, because Duke Cheng Guo will be arriving at Zhongli Mansion.

Passing by this government office, I happened to see what happened. I happened to hear that the man's name was Li Chenan, so I got off the carriage to find out what happened——

Is this Li Chenan stupid?

If he wanted to arrest someone, the normal procedure would be to write a complaint to prove that the person named Li Xiaohua was not guilty.

But he just chose to beat someone up!

Beating someone in front of the government office in full view of everyone!

Then he will definitely not get any good results. It is certain that he will be dragged in and beat up dozens of times by those policemen.

So he is indeed stupid.

But those detectives just went back after they came out... Apparently those detectives knew him and knew they couldn't afford to offend him.

So he is not stupid, he is confident!

Could it be that Zhongli Mansion has already accepted him?

Just when Qi Zhixue was making random guesses, she saw a policeman walking out of the yamen with a big man.

The policeman stood in front of Li Chenan and said something casually, and then handed the big man to Li Chenan. The two had some very cordial conversations, and then Li Chenan walked towards the crowd with the big man. The policeman

He even cupped his hands at Li Chenan’s back——

this?

I stayed for a while and went to Zhongli Mansion, just in time to ask Zhongli Qiuyang.

The crowd watching was also silent at this time.

They watched in disbelief as Li Chenan and Li Xiaohua walked over in a swaggering manner. The big man was crying as he walked, and Li Chenan seemed to be comforting him constantly.

Then... the big guy actually leaned on Li Chenan's shoulder!

Li Chenan flew up with a kick, and the big man took two steps back.

Li Chenan cursed and cursed, and the big man felt ashamed.

"What!"

"Everyone goes back to his own home and finds his own mother!"

The crowd dispersed.

The group of thugs who came to rescue the eldest young master of the Shen family carried Shen Jiye, who didn't even dare to utter a cry, and ran away like flying.

A moment later, another middle-aged man with an eagle-like face walked out of the yamen gate.

He stroked his short beard.

His eyebrows were furrowed.

He looked at Li Chenan's back, raised his head after a moment, turned around and walked back in silence.

He is Huo Chuanming, the general magistrate of Guangling.

He returned to his official office and said to Shen Qianshan who was sitting beside him: "I'm afraid it's going to rain, so go back first."

Shen Qianshan didn't know why.

…

…

West Market, Li Ji Liang Shop.

Li Xiaohua's mother, Cui Sanniang, was holding on to the threshold and looking anxiously.

It turned out that many of the neighbors who were watching had dispersed. Before they came, how could that idiot Li Chenan possibly get Li Xiaohua back?

Not only will he not be able to get it back, he might even involve himself in it——

The root of this matter is not deep, even these merchants have clues.

Shen's failure to break off the engagement will definitely turn his anger on Li Chenan.

But Li Chen'an wanted to open a tavern and make his own wine, which required grain. Shen refused to sell grain to him. He bought the grain from Li Xiaohua's shop, so Shen naturally had a grudge against Li Xiaohua.

The Shen family is the largest grain merchant in Guangling City.

But Li Xiaohua, mother and son, are outsiders.

People often say that a strong dragon does not overwhelm the local cowards. The Shen family is the local cobra in Guangling City, but Li Xiaohua is not a strong dragon.

Besides, given the foundation of the Shen family, it is estimated that it has some relationship with the government.

Shen sent people to smash up Li Xiaohua's shop. This was a warning to Li Xiaohua and other grain merchants, telling them not to sell grain to Li Chenan.

It's just that Shen probably didn't expect that Li Xiaohua's fighting power was so strong. Instead, she knocked down all the people sent by Shen.

So Shen took the official approach again and arrested Li Xiaohua in a short period of time.

This also acted as a deterrent. In this way, how could those small grain merchants in Guangling City dare to sell grain to Li Chenan? Then of course Li Chenan's tavern would not be able to operate.

Some people are full of sympathy for Li Xiaohua and Li Chenan, while others are indifferent to it.

Just as these people were whispering about this matter, someone was suddenly surprised:

"Look, are those Li Chenan and Xiaohua?"

When those people heard this and looked towards the alley, they were all surprised.

"Isn't that right...Li Chenan really got the person back! So...didn't the Shen family suffer the loss of being dumb?"

"I still don't know what's going on. I'll go ask my third brother-in-law and sister-in-law's cousin later. He works as a policeman in the Yamen."

"..."

In short, whether these people believe it or not, Li Chenan did indeed bring Li Xiaohua back completely.

Soon, the whole West City knew about it.

Even the things that happened in front of the government office spread widely in Xishi.

Only then did people know that Li Chenan not only brought Li Xiaohua back, but also beat up the eldest young master of the Shen family right in front of the government office.

As a result, Li Chenan's image suddenly became taller in the eyes of these people.

They seemed to have forgotten his reputation as a fool, and when they looked at Li Chenan again, their eyes showed admiration, and even some of them who knew him even saluted and said hello.

"This is human nature."

"Bully the weak and fear the strong!"

Li Chenan patted Li Xiaohua on the shoulder and said loudly: "From now on, whoever dares to bully you or whoever dares to bully the young master and me, just beat them up!"

"As long as no one is killed, Master, I will settle everything for you!"

"From now on in Guangling City, you can walk sideways in my name, Master!"

Li Xiaohua had already admired Li Chenan for a long time.

"Remember, little man, if anyone dares to be blind in front of the young master, I will beat him until he doesn't even recognize his mother!"

The two of them arrived at Li Ji's grain store. Cui Sanniang came out tremblingly and knelt down in front of Li Chen'an with a "pop" sound.

"Son, kneel down quickly for your benefactor!"

Li Xiaohua also knelt down.

Cui Sanniang kowtowed and said: "Thank you to the young master for saving your life. For the rest of your life, Xiaohua will always be the young master's slave. Xiaohua's life, this life of the slave family, will always belong to you, the young master!"

Li Chenan accepted this gift.

Because he needs someone who truly belongs to him.

Cui Sanniang knows how to settle accounts, and she can also manage the tavern if she comes.

And Li Xiaohua's role is extremely powerful, he will be a knife in his hand!

A knife that will never bite the Lord!
