"Does this boy need to know who you are?" Seeing that the stout man wanted to threaten him, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but reveal a somewhat weird smile.

To be honest, Li Yuntian really didn't take the stout man in his eyes, the stout man in front of him was just an ant-like existence, and he was not interested in dealing with this kind of little minions at all.

"Tell you, Lao Tzu is ......" The stout man felt that there was something creepy in Li Yuntian's smile - pity, that's right, pity, which made him feel a chill rise up his spine, gritting his teeth and wanting to identify himself to Li Yuntian, so that he would feel safer.

Before the stout man could finish speaking, a guard had already come up to him and punched him in the face.

The stout man snorted, and fell to the ground with his eyes closed, apparently he had talked too much nonsense.

Immediately after, the people brought by the stout man were also knocked to the ground one after another, and they were dragged out by the guards, seeing that the diners in the lobby were dumbfounded, they didn't expect this group of outsiders to be so domineering, and some people who knew the details of the stout man had already begun to worry about Li Yuntian and the others.

"Are you going to eat with me, or do you want to go to the Yamen?" Li Yuntian didn't care about the surprised eyes of the people at the scene, but leaned over to look at the little boy standing behind him and asked with a smile.

"I'm hungry." The little boy flickered his eyes a few times, and then grinned at Li Yuntian, it was obvious that he was unwilling to go to the yamen to testify, and it was safer to follow Li Yuntian's side.

Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, and walked towards the private room booked on the second floor of the restaurant, and the little boy followed him closely, as if he was afraid that Li Yuntian would dump him.

This made Lin Xin very surprised, but she didn't expect that Li Yuntian, who was high up on weekdays, also had such a close side to the people and was so good to the little boy.

In the private room on the second floor, there were three people sitting around the wine table of Nuoda, Li Yuntian, Wen Du and the unknown little boy, including Lin Xin, and others could only stand and wait.

Since Lin Xin had already ordered the dishes when she sent someone to book a private room, all of them were the signature dishes in the restaurant, so the shopkeeper quickly put the dishes on the table.

In fact, the speed was not so fast, but the shopkeeper of the restaurant witnessed the scene in front of the lobby and knew that Li Yuntian's background was extraordinary, so he gave priority to serving Li Yuntian.

While the shopkeeper was serving, Li Yuntian learned about the little boy's life experience, the little boy claimed to be from Shandong, surnamed Li, famous mountain, came to Jiangnan with his parents to play, and was abducted in Ningbo a few days ago and handed over to a stout man to take care of.

However, Li Yuntian felt that the little boy was not telling the truth, because he felt that the little boy's accent was very strange, not only similar to the accent of the capital, but also the intonation sounded like a different taste.

Li Yuntian was not interested in finding out about Li Shan's life experience, in his opinion, he and Li Shan were just meeting in Pingshui, and the matter would be over when he found his parents.

I don't know why, Li Yuntian thinks he likes Li Shan a lot, although this child is very young, he is very smart and clever, and he even made it difficult for Lin Xin to distinguish the authenticity of his identity with a piece of jade pendant.

But then again, both the government and the opposition Li Yuntian have the reputation of "Merry Prince", otherwise there would not be more than a dozen concubines, so how did Lin Xin know if Li Yuntian had been merciful outside before.

"I'm moving!" After the meal was served, Li Yuntian motioned for Li Shan to eat, so Li Shan put the dishes and chopsticks in front of him, patted his hands and bowed to Li Yuntian and Wen Du and said, looking very polite.

Seeing this, Li Yuntian's eyes couldn't help but flash a look of surprise, if he remembered correctly, Li Shan's action just now seemed to be a custom of the Japanese people before dinner.

Under Li Yuntian's surprised gaze, Li Shan picked up the bowl and chopsticks and devoured it, looking very hungry, and he didn't know how long he hadn't eaten.

"Slow down, no one is robbing you, don't choke." Seeing this, Li Yuntian smiled and gave Li Shan a chopstick dish.

"Don't mention it, I've been drinking all the water these days, and I've been so hungry that my chest is close to my back." Li Shan complained to Li Yuntian while pulling the food into his mouth.

"Are you really pretending to be stupid about that guy?" Li Yuntian laughed when he heard this, reached out and picked up a lobster and peeled it, put the shrimp meat into Li Shan's bowl and asked with a smile, the "that guy" in his mouth naturally refers to a stout man.

"If I hadn't pretended to be stupid, he wouldn't have let his guard down and brought me to this restaurant, and I deliberately scattered food everywhere in order to fool him." Li Shan's mouth was full of food, but he still stretched out his chopsticks and picked up the shrimp meat that Li Yuntian had peeled for him and stuffed it into his mouth.

It turned out that the reason why the stout man brought Li Shan to the restaurant was because Li Shan pretended to be stupid and deceived the stout man, how could the stout man expect a child to have such a heart, and as a result, he was careless in his hands.

Li Yuntian was very interested in Li Shan's experience in the past few days, so while drinking with Wen Du, he listened to Li Shan tell about what happened after he was arrested, and it was not easy for a child to play a stout man and others.

Lin Xin looked at the scene in front of her with curiosity, who would have thought that the dignified Zhong Wang Ye would become Li Shan's listener, and he personally peeled seafood for him, the scene was a little warm, few people in Daming could enjoy this honor.

"Full!" Finally, Li Shan put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, patted his round belly, and said to Li Yuntian with a smile, "Uncle, when I see my mother, I will definitely invite you to have a delicious meal." ”

"Okay, then Uncle will wait." Li Yuntian also laughed, looking at the lively and lovely Li Shan in front of him, he couldn't help but think of Li Anbang and Li Anmin and other children, when they were children, he didn't have time to spend with them at all, and now he thinks about it quite regrettable.

"Quick, don't let that guy run!" As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of messy footsteps in the corridor outside the door, as if there were many people, and then a familiar voice came.

Li Yuntian frowned slightly when he heard this, he recognized this voice, it was the stout man who wanted to take Li Shan away before, and now he should be in the yamen, but he didn't expect to come out so soon, it seems that this person has a lot of power in the yamen.

Soon, the door of the private room was kicked open, and a group of servants from the yamen rushed in violently, carrying knives and surrounding the people in the room.

"Zhang Tou, it's them, robbing people in public in broad daylight, robbing my distant nephew, and wanting to do wrong!" Under Li Yuntian's expressionless gaze, a stout man and a middle-aged man dressed in errand service walked in, pointed at Li Yuntian and said viciously, "Junior brother suspects that they are Jiangyang thieves who robbed houses, don't let them escape." ”

"Everyone, someone has sued you, let's go to the yamen with this official." The middle-aged man in the errand costume glanced at Li Yuntian and the others, then waved his hand and said.

Hearing that the middle-aged man called himself "this official", Li Yuntian immediately knew the identity of the other party, seeing that this person's style was the head of the team in the yamen, although the officers were not officials or even officials, but among the people, those who were a little powerful still liked to call themselves officials in front of the people in order to improve their status.

Li Yuntian now does not know whether this middle-aged team leader is from the Yangzhou Mansion or Jiangdu County, which is the county government of Yangzhou City.

Like other county offices in the Ming Dynasty, because these county offices are in the same city as the government offices, the management authority overlaps with the government offices, and the government offices are naturally dominated by the government at this time.

Therefore, once those powerful people encounter a case, they will definitely go straight to the government office, and the judgment of the government office is much more useful than that of the county government.

Although the government usually does not directly accept cases, even in the same city, it is necessary to report to the county government of Yiguo, but because there are usually power-for-money transactions in those cases, the government will often bypass Yiguo's county government to manage those cases that are full of oil and water, and Yiguo's county government is powerless to do anything about it.

Unlike the later generations of governors in the same city, the governor was the feudal official of the imperial court and was under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so he had the capital to fight against the governor, but the prefect of the county was a subordinate of the prefect, so he had no ability to resist at all, so he could only be silently suppressed by it.

Since Li Yuntian came to Jiangnan this time to serve in micro-service, he naturally sent the stout man to the Jiangdu County Government in accordance with the process, but the county government and the government are not far apart, and if the stout man can get out of the county government, maybe he will have something to do with the government office.

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Lin Xin saw that the middle-aged team leader wanted to take Li Yuntian away, and was just about to open her mouth to stop it, but Li Yuntian stood up, which made her swallow back the words that reached her mouth.

"Uncle, did you get into trouble?" At this time, Li Shan jumped out of his seat and came to Li Yuntian, and asked nervously, "You won't leave me alone, will you?" ”

"Why would Uncle ignore you?" Li Yuntian smiled and pinched Li Shan's chubby face, "Let's just go to the yamen to explain things clearly, and it will be fine soon." ”

Hearing this, the stout man couldn't help but snort coldly, his eyes were full of vicious looks, and then he couldn't help but cover his chin, the guard just now punched out his two big teeth, and now it hurts so badly, so how could he let Li Yuntian go easily.

Although the stout man knew that Li Yuntian must have a background, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Yangzhou City is his territory, and it is easy to kill Li Yuntian, an outsider.

What is especially important is that Li Yuntian is not accompanied by locals, and he is with a merchant from the Western Regions like Wendu, so the stout man concluded that Li Yuntian's family background is not more than Erer, otherwise he would not be accompanied by the characters of Yangzhou City, so he has no worries.

"This errand officer, this matter has nothing to do with this gentleman from the Western Regions, I hope he will not be implicated, he has a lot of business to do in Yangzhou." Li Yuntian heard the stout man's cold snort, frowned, and then looked at Wen Du and said to the middle-aged team leader.

"Zhang Tou, they are a group, you must not let him go." Li Yuntian's voice lagged behind, and the stout man said viciously, making it clear that he wanted to wipe out Li Yuntian and Wen Du and blackmail oil and water by the way.

"If he hadn't committed a crime, the yamen would naturally let him go at that time." The middle-aged team leader known as Zhang Tou nodded, and said to Li Yuntian with an expressionless face, not ready to let Wendu go.

"General Wendu, it seems that you have taken a trip with this king." Li Yuntian looked at Wendu a little helplessly when he heard this, and said to him in the Western Regions.

"Obedience." Wen Du bowed to Li Yuntian when he heard this, replied with a smile in Western Regions, and at the same time glanced at the stout man and the Zhang Tou with pity, it was obvious that the two of them were going to be unlucky, otherwise Li Yuntian would not hide his identity and go to the Yamen, so he also wanted to know how Li Yuntian would deal with this matter.
