These days, behemoths can really be seen everywhere.
Not to mention the high-ranking Prince Rong's Mansion in Jingnan County, the so-called Youxian Chamber of Commerce in Youxian County, and the He family in Milixian County, they are all deeply entangled in the local area.
This is of course unsound.
Where there is power, there is also oppression.
However, this kind of situation is very common in Dayu, and Lu Fang didn't want to cause trouble to the He family.
This is none of his business, and the situation in Dayu is not something he can change. Monarchy society is always like this.
I just didn't expect that if he didn't go to cause trouble, trouble would come to his door.
While eating, the boy suddenly came up to Lu Fang and whispered to Lu Fang: "Sir, the person collecting carriage fares is here. I have to ask you to pay five copper coins."
Lu Fang was a little confused.
He stuck his head out of the window and took a look.
Sure enough, I saw two people standing outside the horse stalls of the inn, wearing official uniforms.
He frowned and said, "Travel fee? How come I've never heard of it elsewhere?"
Isn't this just the parking fee? It's ridiculous.
The young man whispered: "This is the rule of our Mili County, only five copper coins. Young Master, you can see that you are a wealthy nobleman, so don't worry about it."
The implication was that Lu Fang should pay the money honestly to avoid getting into trouble.
Lu Fang smiled.
Five copper coins is really not much.
But for ordinary people, it is not much.
I can buy a set of clothes and have a meal.
For more frugal families, the cost is two days.
"I don't care about five copper coins, but I can't afford to lose this person."
The waiter was a little embarrassed and then persuaded: "All other guests have paid."
Lu Fang waved his hand and said, "That's their business. Don't disturb me while I'm eating."
The boy was a little helpless and had to say: "The people who came to collect the money are from the He family. You may not know that the He family is famous in our Mili County. Why bother for five copper coins? It will also affect your mood for eating.
no?"
He has a good heart.
It is not that we have never seen such thorny people as Lu Fang before, but most of them suffered in the end. Not to mention the beatings, the compensation afterwards was far more than five copper coins.
As for the really powerful people, he had never seen them come to a small inn like theirs to eat.
Maybe it is true, but no one cares about five copper coins.
He was worried that Lu Fang was pretending to be rich and had no family background, and would only be manipulated by the He family in the end.
Lu Fang still shook his head, "If you want to collect money, let them come to me and ask for it."
Someone from the He family?
Then he can't even pay the money.
He Zhengci, He Chengcai and his son were not very kind when they were in Ningyuan, and later He Yushan showed up to cause trouble for Lu Liang. He didn't have a good impression of the He family at all.
If he really bumped into the muzzle of the gun, he wouldn't be able to ask for it.
Do the He family still dare to do anything to him?
Now Luliang is the official recruitment envoy of Jingnan County, and his official rank is several levels higher than the magistrate of Mili County.
Can a powerful dragon overwhelm a local snake?
What a bastard.
The boy sighed softly, glanced at Lu Fang twice, and had no choice but to walk outside.
If this guest wants to cause trouble himself, there is nothing he can do.
Lu Fang watched him go outside and said a few words to the two government officials. Then the two government officials walked into the house.
Led by the servant, he approached Lu Fang with a gloomy look on his face.
The guy with sallow skin and a shoehorn face who was walking in front said: "You have so many things to do, you have to ask me to come in and get the five copper coins in person."
Then he turned around and shouted at the counter: "Shopkeeper, give me two good spring tricks. It will be charged to this kid's account, and I will take him away later."
"hehe."
Lu Fang chuckled, "I didn't say I wanted to buy you a drink."
"Yo."
The shoehorned face raised his eyes, and said in a sinister tone: "You are such a shameless brat! It's your good fortune to invite me to drink."
"Really?"
Lu Fangdao: "Do you know who I am?"
This shoehorned face was probably used to being domineering, but he still didn't take it seriously, "Whoever you are, you don't want to ask where this is."
Apparently he hasn't been severely beaten by society yet.
"Mili County."
There was always an indifferent smile on Lu Fang's lips.
"It's good to know."
Shoehorn's face showed a look of pride, "In this place, you'd better be more honest. If you tell me you go out and treat me to a drink in the future, it will save you some trouble, you know?"
Lu Fang was a little happy, "Then what if I don't invite you?"
Shoehorn frowned, not caring about the other diners present, and said: "Then I will doubt your identity. You... are not a fugitive from the imperial court, are you?"
Then he made a gesture to grab someone.
The boy winked wildly at Lu Fang, but he didn't dare to say anything at this time.
He doesn't have that much face.
Lu Fang put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and then said: "Are you from the He family?"
With a shoehorned face and head raised to the sky, he said, "Exactly."
"Then why do you just work as a yamen servant in the county government?"
Lu Fang said again.
Shoehorn's face suddenly became a little uneasy.
He just had some connections with the He family, and he didn't even know how far he was from the direct relationship with the main wife.
If he were really an important figure in the He family, he would certainly not be a mere yamen servant, let alone do something as shameful as collecting carriage fares.
Usually, he bullies honest people and outsiders just because of his surname: He.
Lu Fang's attitude seemed to make him feel that his self-esteem had been severely wounded.
Then he turned his head and said to his colleague: "I'm afraid this guy is not a fugitive. Let's take him back to the county office first!"
He has used this routine countless times, and he is very good at it.
In fact, there is a strong eye.
Judging from Lu Fang's attire, he should be a member of an ordinary family from out of town. He could still afford to offend such a person in Mili County.
But he obviously didn't expect that Lu Fang was not only a young master, but also had martial arts skills.
Seeing Shoehorn Face and the government servant reaching out to grab him, he grabbed two chopsticks on the table and thrust them into them.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Two screams.
Both hands were inserted on the table, and the chopsticks were inserted into the wood.
Immediately I saw blood.
Everyone in the inn is looking this way.
Shoehorn Face and the yamen servant covered their wrists and wailed, but did not dare to move. The slightest movement would cause severe pain.
The boy's face turned pale with fright.
Over at the counter, the shopkeeper was equally dumbfounded.
Shoehorn face finally endured the severe pain and pulled out the chopsticks. He hurriedly took a few steps back and said to Lu Fang: "You, you dare to arrest me! Just wait for me!"
Then he ran towards the outside of the inn.
When he got to the door, he said to the shopkeeper again: "Don't let him run away! Otherwise, I'll take you to the government office for questioning!"
The shopkeeper was almost crying.
For him, this was truly a disaster.
Lu Fang still sat on the same spot and said quietly: "Don't worry, I won't run away. Just call someone, but I want to see who dares to take me in Mili County."
