As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 12 When you go out, your identity is given by yourself

"What a bummer, what a bummer~"

On the street, Mingchen played with the jade stick in his hand, shook his head and sighed softly. However, he no longer saw the arrogant and domineering nobleman in the tavern box.

The contrast between the before and after made Ling Yu beside him stunned.

She turned to Mingchen and asked, "Brother, who was that person just now?"

Mingchen thought for a moment and said casually, "It should be Li Songyan, the second son of the Li family in Wangyang County. He's quite famous here. Half of the magistrate's bad reputation is due to him."

Intelligence is important in doing anything.

After being here for a few days, Mingchen has almost figured out the basics of this county.

It’s not that he didn’t know the unlucky guy. On the contrary, he recognized him as soon as the other party showed his face.

A dandy boy~
There are people like this in every era and every place.

They are protected by their families, rich and powerful, with no worries about food and drink, and can do whatever they want. People don't like them, but they also hope to be like them.

This unlucky guy is not too stupid or dumb, and is easy to fool.

If you really meet a reckless young man, it will be very troublesome if you can't scare him.

Ling Yu looked at his frivolous and carefree brother and kept asking, "Brother, who are you?"

Relatives of the emperor?

A noble son?

Son of a powerful person?

No wonder he can talk about those high-level decisions that ordinary people have no access to at the dinner table.

No wonder he has such temperament and extraordinary conversation.

"I?"

Mingchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't I tell you that I'm from Qingchi, Qingzhou. My family has a little money, barely enough to make ends meet."

If we really talk about background, Mingchen is only slightly better than ordinary people, but in fact he cannot catch up with Xiao Li.

"Oh, yes, I haven't finished yet! I'm going the same way as you, and I'm also going to Beijing to take the imperial examination."

"If I don't go, my old man will skin me alive."

Mingchen was full of nonsense, complaining to Lingyu: "Who's a good person who sends their children to take the imperial examination to become an official? Aren't they afraid that one day I will directly take all the nine clans into the game~"

Ling Yu: ...

I can't tell the difference!
I really can't tell the difference!
Who are you, brother?

He is a frivolous and imaginative young man, and he is also a domineering and unruly playboy.

Now Mingchen has to drag his father out before Ling Yu will believe what he says 100%.

"Ah... t-t-how is this possible?"

Confused, Dai Jie shook her head and said stubbornly, "Don't tease me, dear brother. You must be of a noble status! Don't worry, Yu won't covet anything from you."

"What's the point of lying to you?"

Mingchen rolled his eyes. "I thought he was as extraordinary as you said, bullying men and women, doing whatever he wanted, just like that unlucky guy just now."

"It's a pity that I can't. My old man is not doing well! He still doesn't work hard enough."

"I whipped him for three days and three nights with a small whip, but he still refused to admit that he was a royal relative. What should I do?"

The thing that the master of the Ming family was most grateful for and most regretful about in his life was giving birth to Mingchen, a resentful son.

It's really smart, but it's also really annoying.

Ling Yu: ...

Sister Dai has never met Mingchen's father, but she thinks he must be living a happy life, as he can get along so harmoniously with his son.

She looked at the precious jade stick in Mingchen's hand and kept asking, "What is this? What did you just..."

She knew good things. The material and carving of this jade stick did not look like ordinary items. It would still be worth a lot of money if sold at a pawnshop.

Isn't this some kind of identity token?

"What happened just now? Did I tell him who I was? Is it my fault that he didn't recognize me?"

Mingchen casually threw the jade stick in his hand to Lingyu: "This is just an ordinary jade stick. Is it my fault that he can't recognize it?" "This...this..."

Miss Killer Star was shocked.

what?
How could this be?

Mingchen shook his head, restraining his teasing. He turned to Lingyu and asked, "Besides this, brother, do you have any other way to get rid of that foolish dude without causing a big fight and losing face?"

“When you’re out and about, your identity is what you give yourself. It doesn’t matter who I am; what matters is who others think I am.”

"This way, you and I won't have to be bullied by that dandy, and we can even beat him up to vent our anger~ How happy~"

Ling Yu: ...

This guy just said he never lies.

"Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

"It's not that easy."

"Why, don't I look like a big shot in the capital?"

Mingchen opened his arms and circled in front of Lingyu.

picture!
When Ling Yuchu came down the mountain, he had not seen any powerful people or dandy young men.

However, seeing Mingchen like this, so flamboyant, casual, arrogant and domineering, he was exactly the dandy boy she had imagined.

He is even more dissolute than the real dandy who was just beaten, and a more genuine rich and powerful young man.

Who can guess this person's background?
Ling Yu now couldn't tell which of his brother's words were true and which were false.

Mingchen said with a smile: "I left some room for maneuver. I didn't kill anyone, I just beat up that unlucky guy."

"Old Li should thank me for helping him teach his son! They just need to think carefully about how to apologize to me. As long as they don't get into a fight, they won't dare to act rashly."

"The richer a person is, the more timid he is."

"They can't afford the gamble, but I can."

"If they can't find out my background and can't recognize this stick, they will have to serve me well."

"By the time they really found me, I would have left long ago~"

"A local tyrant is only a snake in his own territory. If he goes elsewhere, he is just a bug."

This silly sister was so decisive just now that she drew her sword and drew blood.

Regardless of the consequences, decisive and efficient.

He was completely different from the way he was when he was being harassed in the market.

He stands firmly on his own side and is someone you can get along with.

Mingchen patted Lingyu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, there is no need to impose so many restrictions on yourself. Brave people enjoy the world first."

The young man's eyes were bright and cunning, and his smile was carefree and unrestrained.

Ling Yu: ...

Is this how the word brave is used?

Ling Yu felt like he had learned something, but also seemed to have lost something.

Master, it seems that this is not how she was taught.

The way of war is inherently dangerous. On the battlefield, there is no scruples. Dissension, deception, seduction, ambush... As long as victory can be achieved, every possible means will be used.

It is precisely because of this that we need to exercise self-discipline in our daily lives, not lose ourselves, and not become arrogant or conceited, otherwise we will surely destroy ourselves.

Is the master wrong? Or is this younger brother wrong?

Ling Yu needs to figure these things out on her own.

But there is one thing she is very clear about now.

This young and handsome brother next to him seems a little dangerous.

The girl who came down from the mountain felt the dangers of the world for the first time in her friend for whom she was willing to die.

"Sir, they're chasing us!"
