Hearing the sound coming from outside the door, Zhang Yijun was shocked. He turned around cautiously and saw the figure that he hated but was afraid of walked out of the crowd. His pupils tightened instantly and the arrogance he had just had disappeared. .
Shen Ling then raised his head, first heaving a sigh of relief, and then he looked happy.
Although Tang Ji had been away for several months, many guests in the building knew him and were waiting to see a good show.
But some of the dandy boys who came with him didn't know Tang Ji. They thought it was another shopkeeper of Ji Ranju's shop and pointed at Tang Ji.
"You are so outrageous. You dare to talk to the young master like this. Don't you want to live?"
"You people in Jiranju are all of the same virtue."

"I think it's better not to shed tears until you see the coffin. Take him to the government and ask the county magistrate to teach him how to be a good man!"
""
After a few people made sarcastic remarks, they found that the surroundings were eerily silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on them, and they couldn't help but look suspicious.
Tang Ji didn't take their words seriously. He walked up to Zhang Yijun and kicked the latter's calf casually.
One of Zhang Yijun's legs stepped on the chair, and the other leg was kicked. He lost control of his body and fell to the ground, letting out a scream.
Shen Ling withdrew his dull gaze and quickly led Duan Yunshu to greet him: "Sir, you are finally back!"
The next second, all the clerks in the store bowed and saluted: "I have met the young master."
Tang Ji smiled and blinked. Shen Ling and Duan Yunshu glanced back and forth, then patted Shen Ling on the shoulder: "Okay, you kid, you got the talented girl I finally signed. Yes, but since you are helping me manage the shop, I won’t argue with you. I have booked a banquet at Jiu’an Zhai, so you can go have dinner together later!”
Immediately, he glanced at Zhang Yijun behind him and asked, "What happened?"
Shen Ling turned around and explained in a low voice: "The Zhang family is always looking for trouble in Ji Ranju's stores these days. Zhang Yijun just brought people here to make things difficult for me. Yun Shu couldn't stand it, so he went up and argued a few words, but When he was teasing me, I followed him and pushed him, and the result was like this."

Hearing this, Tang Ji turned to look at Zhang Yijun who had just been helped up: "Master Zhang, should you give me an explanation?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhang Yijun could reply, a young man in purple clothes immediately protected him behind him, and then angrily shouted: "Explain? You, a pariah, dare to explain yourself to the young master, and you still don't kneel down. Kowtow to the young master and confess your guilt?"
Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "I wonder which family you are a young master from?"
"Me?" Zheng Linsheng sneered lightly and pointed at himself with a thumbs up: "Listen to me, my father is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the dynasty. It's not just me. The people behind me are all the people in Kyoto who can be called. If you dare to offend us, this shabby store will be demolished by you!"
Hearing this, the faces of the young masters standing behind him turned livid. Although the court deliberately concealed it, the truth about last year's imperial examination had been revealed for a long time. The previous Minister of Civil Affairs fell into the hands of Tang Ji. They He couldn't figure out how Zheng Linsheng had the courage to talk to the other party like this. One of them quickly stepped forward and grabbed him: "Linsheng!"
Tang Ji glanced around at the few dandy boys, and then nodded: "You bully the people and embarrass the shops in the city of Kyoto, and you have the nerve to say that you can all be called names. It's not shameful. Since your elders can't
I’ll teach you well, I don’t mind doing it for you!”
His words couldn't help but remind Zhang Yijun of the scene where he was beaten by him in Ruyue Tower last year. He took half a step back and reminded: "Tang Ji, don't think that just because you have made great contributions in the northwest, you can do whatever you want. This young master is selling you face.
Let bygones be bygones, let's go!"
After saying that, he was about to lead everyone away, but he was stopped as soon as he took a step forward.
Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone in the building knelt down in unison.
Soon, the eunuch in purple robe walked in, looked around and found Tang Ji's figure, bowed slightly and said: "His Majesty's oral instructions, Tang Ji, the governor of Tingxi, will immediately enter the palace to meet the saint. There must be no mistake."
Hearing this, Tang Ji pursed his lips slightly. The old emperor was really good at tormenting people. He had just entered the city for an hour when the imperial edict came, but he also complained in his heart. After all, he had planned to find out the situation today and didn't think much about it.
He kowtowed and replied: "I accept the decree from Tang Ji."
After learning that the person in front of him was Tang Jihou, Zheng Linsheng, who had been so arrogant just now, felt his legs go weak. He wanted to bury his head in the ground and prayed in his heart that the other party would forget about him.
But how could Tang Ji let them go? He stood up and twisted his neck: "Didn't Young Master Zhang want to make this matter clear? To show fairness, how about I choose a place, Xingchen Division?"
Hearing the words "Xingchen Division", Zhang Yijun gritted his teeth. Tang Ji was originally an official of the Xingchen Division. There was no fairness in entering that hellish place. But now even if he objected, it would be useless. It seemed that Tang Ji had just returned to Beijing.
, but happened to be bumped into by him, and couldn't help complaining in his heart that he was so unlucky.
Later, he had no choice but to compromise and leave with Tang Ji.
Just when the dandy boys behind him breathed a sigh of relief, Tang Ji suddenly added: "By the way, all the young boys who can make a name for themselves in Kyoto City should also come with me!"
Hearing this, all the young men cast a resentful look at Zheng Linsheng.
Zheng Linsheng took a deep breath. He just caused trouble last week. This time he will be arrested and sent to the Star Division. It will be difficult to figure it out in the first half of the year. In addition, the other party is Tang Ji. If his father finds out, he may be severely punished.
He clenched his fists with both hands, gave a look to another man who was traveling with him, and then quickened his pace towards the door: "Suddenly I remembered that my mother is still at home waiting for me to go back for dinner, so I'll take my leave now!"

"Stop, no one can leave today without my permission!" Tang Ji said in a deep voice.
Although his voice was not loud, it was so powerful that everyone around him was frightened and did not dare to move. The two guards guarding the gate also quickly blocked Zheng Linsheng.
The latter looked anxious and struggled hard: "Let me go, you are kidnapping, I will go to the government to sue you, help, help!"
Tang Ji concentrated on thinking for a while and then said with a smile: "Famous young masters, since you all feel that the explanation is clear, no one should be cowardly. Running away in the middle of the battle is not what a man should do, but in order to prevent you from getting lost along the way,
It would be better for me to be more considerate. Come and tie them up. Remember to be gentle, otherwise you will hurt them. I cannot bear this responsibility."
Hearing this, Qian Zuo, who was standing aside, immediately ordered his men to look for ropes.
Although those young men were dissatisfied, they did not dare to resist.
Then, Tang Ji looked at Shen Ling and the other two: "Well, it seems that I can't eat this hot meal. You can go directly after arranging the affairs in the bookstore and ask Ye Xiao and the others to eat first. Yun Shu, Ranran and the others In the shopping street to the south, you can ask your subordinates to take you there."
Shen Ling and Duan Yunshu looked at each other. Now that Tang Ji was here, they didn't have to worry about anyone daring to come and cause trouble. They responded one after another.
Soon, Qian Zuo tied the dandy boys together with a long rope, not forgetting to count the numbers: "Eleven, twelve, exactly twelve, not one missing."
Tang Ji stretched out and replied casually: "Let's go then, don't keep your majesty waiting."

In this way, Tang Ji got on the official carriage and drove leisurely and slowly towards the imperial city, followed by twelve young men who were tied together. This scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the street. .
The guests who were originally in Ji Ran's bookshop looked at their backs and sighed one after another.
"It's not good to offend anyone. You have to offend this great talent of the Tang Dynasty. Now it's better. If you can't eat it, just walk away!"
"You deserve it. Those dandy boys are causing trouble all over the world. I can't even read my book because of the trouble. Mr. Tang came back at the right time."
"Isn't the focus of our attention now why Mr. Tang is still alive? I heard before that he was killed by evil thieves in the northwest. Many people in the city shed tears for him. Why did he suddenly come back to life?"
"Nonsense, of course it's the Bodhisattva's blessing. How could God accept someone as talented as Mr. Tang so easily?"
"It's great that nothing happened to Mr. Tang."
""
On the other side, people who didn't know the situation on the street saw so many young people tied together, and there were officials and eunuchs in front of them, so they thought they were all prisoners. Soon, many people recognized these usually domineering and dandy young men. They picked up what they had on hand and smashed it over.
"You beasts are here too!"

"I'll let you blow up my stall and insult me."
"My surname is Xu, I finally got a chance. I let you eat and sleep with the girl without paying the bill. Just because your father is an outsider, you hang out in the building all day long eating and drinking. See if I don't kill you!"

When everyone was venting their anger, the servants who were following behind also headed towards their own mansions in unison: "Quick, go and report to the master, something bad is going to happen!"
