How come I'm invincible?

Chapter 58 Lin Fan was amused. In such a vast city as Yong'an, someone actually dared to challenge him on matters of law.
inside the hall.

The aroma of tea wafted through the air, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

There are two people.

One of them was Yuan Jiang, whose body was wrapped in bandages, his left arm was in a sling, his right leg was in a splint, and his face was still bruised. He was disabled but determined.

The other was dressed in a silk robe, thin and with droopy eyes and a few sparse goatees. He looked somewhat sleazy and appeared to be at least a middle-aged man in his fifties.

They sipped their tea leisurely, accompanied by several plates of delicate pastries.

"This tea has an amazing aroma; it's no ordinary tea."

The middle-aged man held the teacup to his nose, squinted slightly, and inhaled the aroma of the tea with relish, then nodded and praised it.

"Registrar Zhu's expertise in tea ceremony is truly exceptional. This tea was specially brought back from the capital by someone I had. It is a tea unique to the Qinling Mountains. I usually can't bear to drink it, and it is only when a great person like Registrar Zhu graces my humble abode that I am willing to bring it out to satisfy my cravings."

Yuan Jiang blew hard at Zhu Zhubu.

Zhu Zhubu took a small, reserved sip, swallowed slowly as if savoring fine wine, and only after a while did he put down the teacup with a satisfied sigh.

Yuan Jiang chuckled and said, "I wonder if Lord Zhu is satisfied with the arrangements for last night?"

"Satisfied, extremely satisfied. In all of Yong'an, the one who understands me best is none other than Master Yuan." Zhu, the registrar, smiled so much that the wrinkles around his eyes crinkled together as he thought of that woman's seductive charm from last night.

He knew that woman was no ordinary person the moment she started talking.

He must have been trained by Yuan Jiang.

He is proficient in playing all kinds of musical instruments and singing.

He dislikes virgins the most; not only do they hurt, but they also don't know any fun tricks.

As for him still liking young girls at his age...

People with brain disorders usually have some kind of mental illness.

Seeing that Zhu, the registrar, was in a good mood, Yuan Jiang asked, "Sir, do you think there are any exceptionally skilled fighters in this world?"

He just wants to find a master to kill this guy surnamed Lin.

The thought of Lin Fan's strength sent chills down his spine.

Really not human.

The registrar Zhu in front of me is the third-in-command of the Yong'an County government, in charge of population registration and document processing. He is knowledgeable and has a wide range of experience.

"I've heard about that kid's behavior. He's truly lawless. A mere commoner like him has managed to cause all this trouble. I don't know what Clerk Li was thinking, letting him run rampant like this. Just how much money did he take?"

Zhu Zhubu didn't respond, but instead launched into a scathing critique.

Thinking about his experiences, Yuan Jiang became increasingly angry and said, "Who knows? Yong'an used to be peaceful and safe, but because of this kid, everything is in chaos now. He's so arrogant that he beat me up like this. I can't swallow this."

Zhu Zhubu looked at Yuan Jiang.

Nod.

That's really quite tragic.

In this state, there's no way I can be happy.

“Master Yuan, I understand your feelings and I also want to stand up for you, but unfortunately the county government and the public security bureau are separate and can't do anything about it. Besides, seeing how magistrate Li is so lenient, there must be some shady inside story.”

"As for the expert you mentioned..."

Zhu Zhubu looked up at the roof, seemingly lost in thought, as if recalling something.

"If you're talking about experts, I have indeed met one. It's been about twenty years since then. Back when I was pulling strings in the capital, I was fortunate enough to see a young man at the birthday banquet of the Grand Tutor, one of the Three Dukes. He performed in front of everyone, lifting a cauldron weighing two or three hundred pounds with one hand. The scene was truly awe-inspiring."

He was not qualified to attend the birthday banquet.

I just snuck in to join the fun.

But he really did see it.

"Ah?" Yuan Jiang was shocked and asked impatiently, "Does Your Excellency know his name?"

Zhu, the registrar, took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Of course I know, his name is Qin Li."

"Qin Li?"

Yuan Jiang felt like he had heard the name somewhere before, and looked at Zhu Zhubu with a puzzled expression.

Zhu Zhubu said, "The Left Commander of the Five Military Commands of our imperial court is a first-rank official, the head of the military officers, and has a lot of power."

Yuan Jiang was utterly speechless.

Isn't this just messing with me?
If he could get this important person to come, why would he be holed up here with a bunch of idiots like you?

Even the most insignificant henchman had to be addressed as "Master" by the local magistrate.

Sudden.

There was a commotion coming from outside the hall.

Yuan Jiang frowned and looked towards the door. Who was so inconsiderate as to not know that he was entertaining distinguished guests?

When he saw the figure appear outside the hall, his face turned deathly pale, he felt as if there were needles in his buttocks, he was restless and his eyes became panicked.

As Lin Fan and his men strode in with unbridled bravado, Yuan Jiang, suppressing his panic, demanded, "What are you doing here?"

He then whispered to Registrar Zhu, "He is Lin Fan."

Zhu Zhu sized up Lin Fan; he had heard of him, but had never actually seen him.

He really is just a greenhorn.

He is indeed quite capable; the things he knows are things that ordinary people cannot do, much less do.

Therefore, after Yuan Jiang introduced the person, he did not make any move, but sat there and observed the situation. Impulsiveness is the devil, and he should not act rashly before he understood the specific situation.

"Heh, interesting. Doesn't your Master Yuan have any self-awareness about what he's done?" Lin Fan chewed on a piece of pinellia, taking in the surrounding situation. He glanced at Zhu Zhubu, whom he didn't recognize and had no interest in. His main objective now was to deal with Yuan Jiang; he could put the others aside for now.

Yuan Jiang slowly stood up, his hands gripping the armrests of the chair, trying to appear calm. When he saw Liang Gui, who had taken the blame for him, he was startled. Could it be that this guy had suddenly turned against him?

Think of this.

He glared at Liang Gui with a warning look in his eyes.

Liang Gui was very scared and lowered his head.

People like him, from the bottom of society, have no voice in front of these big shots.

"What are you glaring at? I'll knock your eyes out if you glare at me again." Lin Fan shouted angrily, then continued, "Yuan Jiang, you killed someone and forced someone else to take the blame for you. You've committed a serious crime. Now you better behave yourself. If you resist even a little, you know the consequences."

Yuan Jiang shouted, "Lin Fan, you're spouting nonsense! When have I, Yuan Jiang, ever killed anyone? Even if you're trying to frame me, this is no way to do it. Do you really think you can act with impunity just because you're a constable?"

"Slander? Hmph, the evidence is conclusive, you have no time to argue. Guards, invite Hall Master Yuan back for tea." Lin Fan waved his hand, efficiency was key, and he was too lazy to waste words with Yuan Jiang.

Yang Ming and Xu Ming received the order and strode forward.

Yuan Jiang panicked. He knew that the bastard Lin Fan was serious. He wanted to run, but his legs were too weak. He wanted to resist, but any violent movement caused him pain all over his body. If he were taken to the police station, everything would be over.

At this moment, he looked to Registrar Zhu for help.

The meaning in his eyes was very clear.

Registrar Zhu, could you please stop being so serious?

Say a few words.

Did you waste your time last night?
Yang Ming and Xu Ming approached Yuan Jiang and decisively subdued him. When the servants of the Yuan family saw this, none of them dared to step forward to stop them, as this conflict was not something they could get involved in.

"Take him away." Lin Fan turned to leave.

"Cough cough..."

Finally, Zhu, the registrar, couldn't help but cough a few times. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely stop when they heard this cough, but Lin Fan acted as if he didn't hear it and didn't even glance at him.

"stop."

Zhu Zhubu spoke, his voice not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

"Officer Lin is truly ruthless. He arrests people without hesitation. His methods are far too domineering."

Lin Fan stopped, turned around, and looked back with a smile. "You have a problem with that?"

"Insolence!" Yuan Jiang said, "Hey Lin, do you even know proper etiquette? This is Zhu, the registrar of the county government. Even your head constable would have to address him respectfully as Lord Zhu."

Zhu Zhu straightened his back, which had been strained the previous night.

His position as registrar was always a source of pride for him.

Snapped--!
Lin Fan slapped Yuan Jiang across the face, causing Yuan Jiang to turn his head to the side.

"I've asked you to speak, so just say it. Save your energy; you'll have to explain yourself when you get back."

At this moment, Zhu, the registrar, had a sullen face. Yuan Jiang revealed his identity. Even if ordinary people didn't flatter or fawn over him, they would still have to give him the respect due to his status as a registrar.

Anyone with eyes can see that he and Yuan Jiang have a good relationship.

But this guy actually slapped me across the face.

They are utterly lawless, truly lawless.

Zhu, the registrar, was composed and naturally wouldn't launch into a wild, incoherent outburst. Instead, he picked up his teacup, blew on it to cool it, took a small sip, and then, after setting the cup down, spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Officer Lin, regardless of whether Yuan Jiang killed the person or not, how are you going to deal with the scapegoat? Or are you planning to let the scapegoat go?"

"According to the law, taking the blame is a serious crime, especially taking the blame for murder, which is the most serious of all crimes. Constable Lin understands this, doesn't he?"

Zhu Zhubu is very quick-witted.

Seeing Liang Gui, one can roughly understand what happened.

This person is the one who took the blame.

It's obvious that this Lin guy wanted to save the other party, so that the other party would turn against him and pin the murder on Yuan Jiang. If he really wanted to protect Yuan Jiang, he had to muddy the waters a bit.

The hall was very quiet.

Poof!
Lin Fan was happy.
