Ever since that day when Hou Youzui, the son of Hou Quan, the Governor of Tianfeng, was beaten to the point of dislocating his hand, this matter had been circulating in Tianfeng City. Although Hou Youzui was only nineteen years old, he was still relying on his father's position as the Governor of Tianfeng City. In Tianfeng City, he was tyrannical and bullied the people. The only thing worth rejoicing about was that none of the people he bullied were women.
Ye Jianli sat on a chair made of redwood and looked at his fist as he muttered,""I'm really capable. I can punch the son of the governor and still live my life without batting an eyelid!”After staring for a while, he muttered to himself again," It has been nearly ten days since that incident. It seems that the time to resolve it is almost here…" When he thought of punching Hou Youzui, he thought of Dongfang Xian 'er again. Dongfang Xian' er's graceful bearing and beautiful face appeared in his mind. He thought of Dongfang Xian 'er's eccentric, mischievous, and cute face, and Ye Jianli actually fell into a daze…
Which young man wasn't passionate?
Dongfang Xian 'er and Dongfang Qiming left on the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was the 16th of August. Although they only spent a few days together, it was enough for Ye Jianli who was still in puberty! Even though Ye Jianli tried his best to suppress it, he still had a deep impression of the first foreign woman in this world. He recalled Dongfang Xian 'er mustering up her courage before she left and saying," Brother Jianli, Xian' er is very satisfied with this trip." If he was satisfied, then so be it. Why did he say it? However, when he saw the two elders stroking their beards and smiling after hearing Dongfang Xianer's words, their expressions of satisfaction were overflowing with words, Ye Jianli became even more puzzled," There must be a ghost here. However, when he kept asking, the two elders just smiled and did not answer. After Dongfang Qiming and Dongfang Xian 'er left, Ye Jianli kept asking his father Ye Cheng. Ye Cheng kept him in suspense until he could no longer resist Ye Jianli's persistent questioning. Then, he said,""Dongfang Xian 'er said those words, how would we know what she meant? If you know, go ask the girl!”Ye Jianli rolled his eyes helplessly and cursed in his heart," Ask the little girl? The little girl had run away after saying that. Was she going to her house now? Was that even possible? It was better not to!
The incident of punching the governor's son was very serious. After all, this was the governor's territory. Although the Ye family was a martial arts aristocratic family, it was common sense that people did not fight with officials. Although Ye Jianli had only dislocated Hou Youzui, it was a matter of face. Especially Hou Quan. No matter what, he had the final say in Sky Wind City. Was he going to let his son get away with it? Especially his most beloved son! However, the power of the people in the first few days of the incident was too great for him to show up. If he was handed a letter by the people, the rest of his life might be over. Therefore, Hou Quan waited until the enthusiasm of the people dissipated before he took Hou Youzui to the Ye residence in a sedan chair. Of course, he should not make a big noise, but the Ye family was a martial arts family. Even the servants in the family were trained in martial arts. Otherwise, the Ye family would have guards! Since he was from a martial arts aristocratic family, if he did not bring some guards along, he was afraid that he would not have a good end. Of course, this was the worst outcome. Hou Quan lifted the curtain and looked at the accompanying guards. Seeing his master looking at him, the guards puffed out their chests even more. Each of them had a strong build and big eyes that were as bright as copper bells. Their muscles were bulging under their clothes! Just from their aura alone, they could suppress others. Among them, there were a few whose temples were vaguely bulging. Clearly, their spiritual martial arts were not bad! Hou Quan was very happy to see these guards. Although there were only a dozen of them, they were all experts in the army. A few of them could even break bricks and break stones! Hou Quan looked ahead again. The majestic Ye Residence was right in front of him.
Ye Jianli had long learned from the owner of the teahouse that his family ran in the city that Hou Quan had come to the Ye residence through a messenger pigeon and was welcoming him outside the residence. As his father rarely came back other than during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was the only one who would be able to welcome such an important figure like the Governor. Thinking of the business that his family ran, Ye Jianli finally understood his father's intentions. He wanted to learn how to be a butler himself! Of course, the Ye family's daily expenses were also earned from these operations. Otherwise, who would support the hundred or so people in the Ye residence?
Looking at Hou Quan's formation, Ye Jianli was speechless. He looked around and saw that there was no one around him. It was a stark contrast to Hou Quan's two palanquins and over ten guards. When the palanquin approached, Hou Quan and Hou Youzui got off the palanquin. Ye Jianli took a few steps forward and cupped his fists at Hou Quan, saying,""Junior Ye Jianli greets Lord Hou!”He then turned to Hou Youzui and said," This little brother greets Brother Hou. I didn't know that Brother Hou is the son of the Governor. Please forgive me if I have offended you!"”Hou Youzui snorted as a reply.
From the moment he stepped out of the sedan chair, Ye Jianli's expression was calm and composed, without the slightest hint of the impetuousness of a teenager. This made him admire him very much. Although he was biased towards his son, Hou Quan had to admit this point. He then smiled warmly and said,""Nephew, don't mind me!"
Ye Jianli opened the door and made an inviting gesture with a smile,""Lord Hou, please, Brother Hou, and all the guards, please!”
Hou Quan and the others entered the outer courtyard with Ye Jianli. Ye Jianli then instructed the servants to bring these guards to stay in the outer courtyard. Hou Quan did not mind seeing this. After all, this was someone else's house and he was a guest, so he would follow the host's instructions!
After entering the inner courtyard's living room, the servant girl Huan 'er served three cups of tea for the three of them and stood behind Ye Jianli. Huan' er was already eighteen years old. Although her bearing did not dare to be compared to those young ladies of noble families, she could still be considered a beauty. From the moment Huan 'er entered the door, Hou You's eyes were fixed and he could not move his eyes no matter how hard he tried. He stared at Huan' er until he was filled with endless disgust. He really wanted to leave this place but he could not leave without the Young Master's orders. He could only lower his head and his snow-white jade-like cheeks were flushed red. This caused Hou Youzui's eyes to widen even more. Ye Jianli saw this and a cold smile flashed across his face. Hou Youzui then realized that when Ye Jianli's gaze swept past him, he felt a prickling sensation on his back. A sense of urgency had locked onto him, causing him to shiver and feel aghast. This Ye Jianli had such a strong aura. It seemed like he held back then.
As a father, he was naturally very clear about his son's temperament. It was all because he spoiled him! However, Hou Quan only glared at him. The latter was so frightened that his head shrank back and his eyes revealed fear. It was obvious that Hou Youzui understood Hou Quan's style. Either I don't do anything to you, or I do something to you.
Ye Jianli sipped his tea and said in a relaxed manner,""Lord Hou, may I know why you have graced us with your presence at the Ye residence? And with such a huge formation?" Although he knew why the other party was here, he still couldn't help but exchange pleasantries.
"Nephew, do you really not know?" Hou Quanzhi said.
"This junior is not a fortune-teller, how would I know the purpose of your visit?”
Seeing that Ye Jianli was so tight-lipped, Hou Quan did not think that he was a snake and spread his hands,""Nephew, let's get straight to the point. This time, we are here for the matter of my son dislocating his arm.”
Ye Jianli secretly thought to himself that he had come to a serious matter and said,""This junior was indeed at fault in that incident! I can apologize to Brother Hou! However, after glancing at Hou Youzui, he changed the topic."That time, it was Brother Hou who provoked everyone with his words and caused such a result!”
"Zui 'er, tell me about the scene that day!”Hou Quan turned his gaze to Hou Youzui and asked. Although he had already figured out the truth on the day of the incident, he had no choice but to ask again now that the other party had brought it up. Speaking of which, it was his own negligence in discipline. Hou Quan felt guilty, but he could not show it for the sake of the official family.
When Hou Youzui heard his father's question, he used his gaze to glance at Ye Jianli, who was looking at the teacup with a faint smile. It was as if that prickly feeling from before had appeared again. Hou Youzui gritted his teeth and said,""Father, the truth is as Brother Ye said!”
Hou Quan's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said angrily,"Since you were in the wrong first, why are you lying to me? Did you forget what I taught you?”He then turned his head towards Ye Jianli and said," Nephew, can I borrow your rattan? I want to punish this unfilial son face to face!"”
Ye Jianli thought to himself, Did people in ancient times know how to act? You almost fooled me! Seeing Hou Quan turn his gaze towards him, Ye Jianli replied,""The rattan is only used to punish those who don't repent, but I see that Brother Hou's pavilion is clear and clear, and it's obvious that you've already repented. There's no need for this rattan! Brother Hou, is it true or not?" The last sentence was directed at Hou Youzui.
Hou Youzui was so frightened that he knelt on the ground when he saw Hou Quan getting angry. When he heard Hou Quan asking for the rattan, his expression turned miserable. Suddenly, he heard Ye Jianli speak up for himself and said,""That's right, Father. Just as Young Master Ye said, I've already repented. Please forgive me this time!”
Soft bones! Contempt! Ye Jianli cursed in his heart.
Seeing that Ye Jianli did not want to blow up the matter, Hou Quan did not want to either. Just like Ye Jianli's guess, he was just putting on an act earlier!
Hou Quan's expression softened slightly, but he still said sternly,""Stand up. Since you were the one in the wrong, you must apologize to Nephew Jianli!”
Seeing that Hou You was about to apologize after getting drunk, Ye Jianli hurriedly said,""There's no need for an apology. If Brother Hou really wants to change, then change your style! The citizens of Tianfeng City are all very good. They will forgive you!”
What a joke. Since ancient times, the people had never fought with the officials. They had only heard of building good relationships with the bureaucrats. They had never heard of anyone going against the officials! They had a proper army. If they were not careful, they could even crush you with their feet! Moreover, he lived in Tianfeng City. It would be great if he accepted the apology of the governor's son, but it was inevitable that they would meet in the future. When the enemies met, they would be extremely jealous. Who knew what trouble they would cause? It was better to take this opportunity to build a good relationship. As the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, and of course, there are no eternal friends. It's better to avoid trouble!
