703. A Strong Dragon Doesn't Overwhelm a Local Snake

Xue Huaiyi stared at Du Fantian with gloomy eyes.

"I don't care what you say! Take them all away with me!"

As soon as these words came out, even Wen Ranran couldn't help but his eyelids twitched. This was clearly confusing right and wrong. How could Xue Huaiyi be so courageous?

Wen Ranran, Wen Changjin, and even Cheng Fenglou knew that this trip to Lingnan would not go smoothly, but they encountered such a tough nut at the first stop, which was unexpected.

On the way from the capital, Wen Changjin once told Wen Ranran that what officials in the imperial court fear most is censorship.

Because officials are more or less greedy, so in the review after review, nothing can come out at all, because these old people are so good at acting, and when they hear that you are coming, they will lose all their superficial skills.

It's done enough.

But unannounced visits are different, just like now...

Wen Ranran narrowed her eyes and winked at Cheng Fenglou beside her.

Cheng Fenglou stood up immediately.

"Bold! You actually dare to confuse right and wrong and wrongly convict an injustice! Xue Huaiyi, you are so brave!"

Xue Huaiyi didn't take it seriously, "Who are you?"

Cheng Fenglou sneered, but did not take out his own Shangshu token. He only took out the fourth-rank official token that originally belonged to the Minister of Dali Temple.

"I was ordered to investigate Lingnan! Do you dare to rebel?!"

Xue Huaiyi's heart skipped a beat. He had long heard that His Majesty had ordered a group of officials to secretly visit Lingnan, but he did not say who it was.

Now at a glance, it may be the Cheng Fenglou in front of me.

Fortunately, okay, he is not a high-ranking official, but a fourth-rank official of Dali Temple... His position as prefect is a serious third-rank official. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, let alone a fourth-rank official!

Moreover, among the group of people present, since Cheng Fenglou has come to the fore, he must be the one with the highest official rank among them.

"The fourth-rank minister of Dali Temple? I am the third-rank governor appointed by the imperial court! Mr. Cheng, I advise you to be more knowledgeable. After all... you will be outside, and your life will be affected... I think you should... Oops.

!”

Before Xue Huaiyi finished speaking, Qin Zhuo on the side couldn't bear the insult anymore, so he flew up and kicked Xue Huaiyi over.

"Ha! I think it is an insult to the soldiers to let your dog utter these words!" Qin Zhuo retracted his actions and sneered through gritted teeth.

A young man's heart is as high as the sky, and he is even dedicated to serving his country. How can he stand such a treacherous official taking power?

Xue Huaiyi was kicked in the face, screamed and fell to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and two teeth were attached, which looked particularly dazzling.

Outside the door, a group of officers and soldiers armed with swords had surrounded the Du Mansion.

Xue Huaiyi was shaking with anger, and was helped up by Lin Zhengbang, "You... you! Take them all away for me! They will be broken into pieces!"

Cheng Fenglou took a step forward, and in an instant, the frail scholar's momentum suddenly became stronger.

"You dare!"

Xue Huaiyi squinted his eyes and was really suppressed by Cheng Fenglou's momentum.

Wen Ranran, who was watching on the sidelines, sighed and glanced behind him with a smile, Wen Changjin, who was dressed in ordinary clothes.

"Dad, if you don't take action, your good son-in-law will really suffer!"

Wen Changjin glared at Wen Ranran angrily, "You talk a lot. Even if I'm not here today, Fenglou will definitely not suffer any loss!"

"Of course I know that!" Wen Ranran smiled, "But you have to think about Yu Wan. If she comes to make trouble for you later..."

Wen Changjin twitched the corners of his mouth.

On the side, Xue Huaiyi and Lin Zhengbang were confused. Lin Zhengbang was chewing Cheng Fenglou's name, and then heard Wen Yuwan's name, and suddenly he woke up as if he had been pricked by a needle.
