With doubts, the prefect walked over and asked: "Why don't you compensate others for their losses?"

Chi Zhongtian glanced at the prefect, and then said lightly: "Let your subordinates go out first, and then we can talk."

This was obviously an inappropriate answer. I asked him why he didn't compensate, but he actually let my men go out. What's the point?

After thinking about it, the magistrate became a little angry. He put his hands behind his back and asked proudly: "Do you know who you are talking to?"

"Bah! Who are you? You dare to be so presumptuous in front of our young master. You must be tired of living!" Guan Ziyu suddenly stood up, slapped the table with his hand, and shouted coldly.

This was the wink Ao Shuangxue gave her just now. Guan Ziyu immediately understood and stood up immediately.

Sometimes, putting on airs is a very effective trick, at least it can scare some people like this prefect who are soft and afraid of hard work.

Sure enough, the prefect was startled by this move, and his originally calm expression now became a little panicked.

Chi Zhongtian waved his hand at the right moment and said, "Zi Yu, don't be rude."

After hearing this, Guan Ziyu glared at the prefect and sat down.

"Let them out, I see so many people upset, hurry up." Chi Zhongtian said again.

"You kid, don't be arrogant and dare to go against the prefect! There will be no good end!" The restaurant owner was afraid that the prefect would be frightened again, so he quickly made some vague remarks.

At this time, Chi Zhongtian suddenly stood up, then suddenly walked around the dozen men brought by the prefect, and then returned to his seat safely.

At this time, the prefect and the restaurant owner could hardly believe their eyes.

"Oops." Suddenly, the guards began to exclaim, and the lower half of the armor they were originally wearing suddenly fell to the ground.

When the prefect and the restaurant owner heard the commotion, they also turned their heads to look. It didn't matter, and they almost bit their tongues out of fright.

I saw that there were neat cuts in the middle of the armor on the guards, very neatly...

Chi Zhongtian didn't hold a knife at all, he just used his fingernails to pour his inner energy into it. This was not a strange thing, but in the eyes of these people, it was like having the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth.

"I happen to want to ask you something, please let them all go out." Chi Zhongtian said again, with a sense of impatience in his tone.

The prefect thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You all should step aside."

Those guards were already frightened. If they had held swords in their hands just now, they would have been dead. Now when they heard the prefect let them out, they felt as if they heard an amnesty and quickly picked up the half of the armor that fell on the ground.

, ran out, and one of the guards was very discerning and dragged the restaurant owner who was staying there out, and then closed the door.

It's not that they don't worry about the safety of the prefect, but they know very well that with people's skills, if they want to have bad intentions towards the prefect, it's probably useless to bring in dozens of more guards.

After they went out, Chi Zhongtian called the magistrate to sit down. Although he was not afraid of him, he couldn't just be tough. It was best to use both soft and hard tactics.

"I wonder what your surname is?" Chi Zhongtian said with a smile on his face.

When the magistrate saw that Chi Zhongtian suddenly became kind again, he was a little unsure of what he meant, so he had to answer first: "I don't dare to claim my dignity, I am Ji Zhengqing."

"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Ji." Chi Zhongtian Gong said with his hands in hand.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Ji Zhengqing also bowed his hands in return.

"I have something unclear, and I would like to ask your Majesty for advice." Chi Zhongtian said.

Ji Zhengqing said seriously: "I don't know what the young master wants to know."

Chi Zhongtian coughed, then lowered his voice and said: "Although I am not a member of the imperial court, I know a little bit about officialdom. As far as I know, the post of prefect is a fifth-grade official with no power.

It's not that big, and the land of Sichuan is still far away from Yanjing City. As the saying goes, if the sky is high and the emperor is far away, your power will definitely be greater. Then I don't understand why that person just used a piece of

Did you scare away your dignified magistrate by breaking the sign?"

When Ji Zhengqing heard this, he raised his head suddenly. His face turned red and purple all of a sudden. He was so embarrassed. He felt that Chi Zhongtian was humiliating him and sarcastic.

Chi Zhongtian saw that Ji Zhengqing's expression suddenly looked wrong, and he immediately realized that his words were a bit too abrupt, and quickly explained: "Master Ji, don't get me wrong, I am really curious, and I am not disrespectful to you."

After Chi Zhongtian's explanation, Ji Zhengqing's expression improved a little. He nodded and said, "Young master, I don't know. What the man just had in his hand was the order of the inspector general of the nine provinces!"

"Inspection Governor of the Nine Provinces?" This was the first time Chi Zhongtian heard such an official position, and he was a little confused for a while.

Then, Ji Zhengqing briefly explained the origin of the inspector generals of the nine provinces. After listening, Chi Zhongtian and the others finally understood.

"According to this, the governor's authority is still very great." Ao Shuangxue asked from the side.

Ji Zhengqing sighed and said: "Not only is it very big, it is simply powerful. It was granted by the emperor. No one dares to mess with it, unless..."

Hearing Ji Zhengqing hesitate to speak, Chi Zhongtian asked: "Unless what?"

Ji Zhengqing sighed and said: "Unless it's those senior members of the court, the governor will still give me some thin noodles."

Hearing this, Chi Zhongtian finally understood. When he heard the elder of the court, his mind suddenly lit up and he immediately thought of a person.

"Haha, Mr. Ji, the loss of this restaurant is mine. Have you seen enough of this?" Chi Zhongtian came to his senses, took out a banknote from his arms and handed it over.

Ji Zhengqing took it and took a look and saw that it was a thousand taels of silver note. Although it was not much, it was definitely rich to compensate for the losses here.

"Master Ji, we have some important matters to attend to, so we'll leave first and say goodbye!" Chi Zhongtian didn't hesitate and stood up after saying that, preparing to leave.

At this time, Ji Zhengqing suddenly stopped Chi Zhongtian, then stepped forward and said: "Sir, I don't think you are a bad person. I really can't do anything about what happened just now. I hope you can forgive me."

Chi Zhongtian knew that what he was talking about was about being scared away by the man in purple with the Governor's Order. He immediately waved his hand and said generously: "Master Ji, you're welcome, this doesn't matter, they are just clowns, then

Aren't there many people driven away by me?"
