Chapter 321 A Person Who's Used to Being Arrested! (Please Subscribe, Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)

Inside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, Xu Zifeng, the heir of the Prince of Zhennan, tried his best to stand between Fang Qian and Xiao Ming.

Fine beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead, and he was inwardly groaning.

As soon as Xu Zifeng arrived at the place, he saw Fang Qian sitting by the window.

He and Fang Qian did have some past grievances. Some time ago, when Xu Zifeng was processing his younger brother's employment at the Ministry of Personnel, he was obstructed by Luo Yong, a friend of Fang Qian. The reason was that Xu Zifeng had previously beaten Luo Yong while hiding his true abilities.

Because it happened at the Ministry of Personnel at that time, the matter didn't escalate.

Moreover, Xu Zifeng has conflicts with too many people, and he is not the kind of person who holds grudges.

Besides, it was indeed him who provoked Fang Qian's friend first, so I can't be bothered to argue about it.

So he originally planned to pretend he didn't see Fang Qian, after all, he came here to drink and relieve his boredom, not to cause trouble.

But who would have thought that as soon as Xiao Ming saw Fang Qian, his eyes turned red and he rushed over aggressively.

Their posture was as if they wanted to devour Fang Qian alive.

Xiao Ming slammed his hand on the table, making the cups and plates clatter, and roared, "Fang Qian, you really are a persistent ghost! It was bad enough that you made things difficult for me at the yamen this morning, but now you dare to bother Miss Wei?"

Xu Zifeng knew then that the 'Miss Wei' Xiao Ming mentioned was definitely the key person.

It's not uncommon for such young talents to fight over women.

He even glanced at the so-called 'Miss Wei,' and she was indeed stunningly beautiful.

To everyone's surprise, Fang Qian sneered, shoving Xiao Ming aside with tremendous force, and said coldly, "Steward Xiao, you have quite the airs! It's Miss Wei's freedom to drink with whomever she wants; what right do you have to interfere?"

Fang Qian could tolerate it in Shanghe City, but this is the capital. He finally had a chance to have a date with Wei Manying alone, and Xiao Ming came to ruin it. How could he tolerate it? This is a matter of principle.

The two pushed and shoved each other more and more violently, eventually escalating into them throwing punches at each other.

Seeing this, Xu Zifeng quickly rushed forward and squeezed between the two men: "My lords, calm down! Let's talk this out!"

As he spoke, he used his shoulder to deflect Xiao Ming's fist and his elbow to block Fang Qian's kick.

The dignified heir of the Prince of Zhennan was now behaving like a peacemaker trying to mediate a street fight.

Wei Manying, who was standing nearby, did not want to stop them, but the two were exuding a powerful aura and their pulse techniques were surging, making it impossible for her to intervene.

More importantly, in such a setting, a "Queen of the Sea" like her must not make a clear statement.

She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes, looking utterly pitiful, and every now and then she would softly plead, "Stop hitting me, please stop!"

This coy and hesitant attitude only made the two men more aroused.

In her heart, she was thinking wickedly: Let's fight, let's see who's stronger.

Fang Qian sidestepped Xiao Ming's grappling move and confidently said, "Miss Wei, don't worry, I'm going to teach this arrogant fool a lesson today!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming flew into a rage: "What are you pretending for? You're all show and no substance!"

As he spoke, another attack, accompanied by a punch, came crashing down, its energy surging ever stronger.

Xu Zifeng, who was standing in the middle, was almost hit by this move and broke out in a cold sweat.

He realized that these two wouldn't stop until they fought to the death.

"Stop it, all of you!" Xu Zifeng finally lost his temper and roared, using his family's secret technique. The sound of the roar shook the windows of the entire Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

There was no other way; if Xu Zifeng didn't explode soon, he would end up taking the beating of two people all by himself.

This shout finally made the two stop fighting temporarily, but then they started fighting again.

Xu Zifeng: "." After a while, government officials had already appeared outside Zuixianlou, but Fang Qian and Xiao Ming were both high-ranking officials, so ordinary constables really didn't dare to arrest them, and couldn't even stop the fight.

It seems that Xiao Ming and Fang Qian are really going to have to determine who is better.

Just when Xu Zifeng was about to give up, someone finally came in and stopped the farce.

The person who arrived was none other than Lin Yue'e, who had just returned to the capital.

Lin Yue'e served as the city supervisor of Shanghe City for quite some time, which was basically a period of training.

After passing the assessment, he will naturally return to the capital for a promotion.

She originally wanted to have a meal with Li Chen, but Li Chen was the emperor, and not just anyone could invite him.

However, her subordinates invited her to dinner at Zuixianlou Restaurant, which was also a way of celebrating her upcoming promotion, and she did not refuse.

As soon as Lin Yue'e reached the door, she saw her former subordinates, the constables from the yamen, standing helplessly at the entrance, and the sounds of fighting echoed from inside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

She went up to ask what had happened, and the constable's eyes lit up when he saw it was her.

Others dared not interfere in the affairs inside. One was an official from the Ministry of Personnel responsible for assessments, and the other was a powerful official from the Ministry of Justice. But Lin Yue'e dared to interfere; she was a person with the emperor's waist token, and their ranks were different.

The constables said that there were officials causing trouble inside.

Lin Yue'e frowned slightly. Back in the capital, she had never encountered officials with such audacity. She wanted to see who dared to cause trouble at Zuixianlou.

It should be noted that people who frequent Zuixianlou are of high status and position, and if this kind of thing gets out, it will have a terrible impact.

Even if Lin Yue'e is no longer a constable, she can still manage things; that's the authority granted by Li Chen's waist token.

When she walked in, it was as if she had instinctively triggered a 'mission'.

Lin Yue'e stared at one person and said, "Xu Zifeng, you're causing trouble here again!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zifeng felt a kind of suppression of his bloodline, and he shrank back.

He turned around and saw Lin Yue'e looking menacing, as if she had come to capture him—no, she must have come to capture him.

There was no way around it; Lin Yue'e's daily task used to be catching troublemakers like Xu Zifeng, and it had become a habit.

Seeing someone causing trouble, no matter who it is, it's definitely related to Xu Zifeng.

In other words, if there's trouble nearby, arresting Xu Zifeng is definitely the right thing to do.

Xu Zifeng hadn't heard Lin Yue'e's voice for a long time; they hadn't seen each other since Lin Yue'e went to Shanghe City.

The problem is, Xu Zifeng didn't cause any trouble this time.

He forced an awkward smile and tried his best to explain to Lin Yue'e that he was just trying to break up the fight and hadn't caused any trouble.

Many people around were surprised to see this, especially the newly arrived nobles in the capital. They were puzzled because the Prince of Zhennan was used to being arrogant, and this was the first time they had seen him so humble in front of others.

The older generation of powerful officials explained that none of the officials in the entire Tian Ce Dynasty had ever seen Lord Lin being dishonest; after all, he was the emperor's confidant and held the emperor's token.

With this explanation, the newly arrived nobleman immediately understood that he was someone close to the emperor, which explained it all.

Xu Zifeng explained for a long time before Lin Yue'e reluctantly believed that he hadn't done it.

With Lin Yue'e's appearance, Fang Qian and Xiao Ming stopped fighting.

They were all acquaintances, so they still had to give Lin Yue'e face. It was also clear that they didn't give Xu Zifeng any face.
