Chapter 207 Hou Wenwu’s Visit (2)
The king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
The reason why the kid is difficult to deal with is that he has a low status and can act like a shrew regardless of his appearance.
Hou Wenwu is a court official, and what he cares about most is his face.
If it's in front of someone else's house, he might just walk away; if it's in front of someone else's house, he might send someone to beat the family first.
But he happened to be in front of Cheng Jinzhou's house.
Hou Wenwu lived for 26 years, but served as an official for 12 years. He received almost all the honors that a civil servant could get in the early days. With his status, he should have been a guest of the nobles.
I regret that I should have brought trouble on myself, Hou Wenwu thought so, took out a 300-tael flight ticket from his sleeve, and handed it to the Zhengdao himself: "If you have anything to do, ask your master to come and talk to me. You can tell me Just show off."
The sharp and deep eyes left Menzheng speechless. After all, he was a servant. He was naturally frightened when he saw Hou Wenwu's robes and official boots. He lowered his head and then raised it. When he met Hou Wenwu's eyes again, he didn't dare to say anything and walked inside.
Fortunately, he still remembered to close the door.
Shi Mo was waiting at the second door. When he saw the door administrator rushing back, he immediately grabbed his hand and said, "I asked you to block people at the door. Why are you back?"
The door manager didn't dare to tell the truth, so he only said: "He wants to see the third brother..."
"Is that something you can see if you want?" Shi Mo raised his lips and said, "Go back now and buy me some time."
"Let's go there together." Cheng Jinzhou walked out of the door at some point and said with a smile, "What's your name?"
The doorkeeper was surprised and happy, and he knelt down and said in a low voice: "The younger one is Chen Wen."
"Calm down, what a good name. Remember, as long as you can delay it, be as angry as you want to make the other person. The more angry he is, the happier I will be. Do you understand?"
Chen Wen nodded fiercely and said, "I understand."
With a word from his master, he would not only worry about others dealing with him.
Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand with satisfaction. He was determined to make Hou Wenwu shut out. Otherwise, as long as he is allowed to come in to visit the doctor, no matter whether Cheng Yun is sick or not, he will probably be able to find something to say.
The inspector is half a censor, so he cannot hear about the matter, but after visiting the patient, he can take the opportunity to talk and flourish. With the writing skills of literati, I am afraid that any effect you want can be achieved.
If Cheng Jinzhou thinks about it himself, if he writes that he seems to be healthy but actually makes people suspicious, his purpose may have been achieved.
The doorman was reaffirmed by his master, and returned to his job confidently, saying in a stiff tone: "The road is too long, and you don't have enough money."
Telling lies with his eyes open, no matter how good-tempered Hou Wenwu is, he can't stand this, and said angrily: "Shuzi! I will kill you here today, do you believe it or not?"
Chen Wen received Cheng Jinzhou's instructions and shook his head calmly at this moment: "I don't believe it, little one."
Hou Wenwu was furious, pointed at the door of the Cheng family, and shouted: "Cheng Jinzhou, I am a second-ranked Jinshi appointed by the emperor. How can I allow you to insult me? The learning of saints..."
At first, the doorman was worried that Cheng Jinzhou would be angry, but when he saw that there was no reaction inside, he relaxed and made some sarcastic remarks, interrupting Hou Wenwu who was shouting loudly: "Master Hou, if you have an imperial edict, it is not impossible for us to let you in. If not, you have to have money..."
Although there are official residences near Cross Street, their status is far inferior to that of the Cheng family. Except for a few families with lax upbringing, no one came out to take a look.
The more this happened, the more Hou Wenwu couldn't hold himself back. He had a lot of things to say to Cheng Jinzhou or Cheng Yun'an. But I never expected that I would be blocked at the door and unable to get in, and in such a low-level and clumsy way.
Hou Wenwu looked at Menzheng for a moment with bloodshot eyes, then pointed his finger and ordered: "Beat him. If you don't believe it, you won't be beaten to death."
He brought two servants and four bearers with him. At this moment, half of the people came over, grabbed the doorman and started beating and kicking him.
The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his subjects, and the Lord is worried about the humiliation of his subjects. The servants may not necessarily know how to read, but they understand the truth, especially the rich and nobles. The better the treatment, the more inseparable the servants are from the family.
They have long hated this sectarian to the point of itching their teeth.
Chen Wen screamed after being beaten, and Hou Wenwu stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the Cheng family's door with his thin lips pursed, waiting for it to open suddenly.
The door is in the middle. Cheng Jinzhou still didn't want to let Hou Wenwu in. He thought for a moment and said, "Meng Dameng Er, you go out and beat the little monkeys that the big monkey brought here. No one is allowed to die, and no one is allowed to touch Hou Wenwu. You can do anything else."
The imperial court had its own rules. If he beat Hou Wenwu, the civil service group would lose face, and it would be impossible for him and his father to want to be officials again.
Astromancers are reluctant to serve as officials, probably because of limited energy. They spend their time improving math and science, and get higher returns. But for Cheng Jinzhou, he doesn't have to spend much time on math and science, and he can free up his hands to become an official, but he has the highest returns.
Meng Dameng Er said "yes" and jumped out along the wall.
The two men carried sticks about a foot long and smashed Hou Wenwu's sedan bearers one after another. The inspector stood alone in front of the door, his face redder than the dilapidated red door.
If he had expressed his inner feelings in plain language, he would have said: renounced anger.
Listening to the servant's wailing, and looking at the closed door, Hou Wenwu suppressed his anger and shouted: "Cheng Jinzhou, I'm here to visit you. If your respected father is sick, you should recuperate at home. If you can walk around, , please come with me to meet the Holy One..."
He finally brought His Majesty the Emperor out. Under normal circumstances, the emperor's consent must be required before he can say this. As for now, Hou Wenwu can no longer care.
Cheng Jinzhou turned his head and hesitated slightly. Listening to Hou Wenwu's tone, shutting him down completely didn't seem like a good choice, but it stumped him.
As for Hou Wenwu, he certainly hopes to get more conclusive evidence to show that Cheng Yun'an is pretending to be ill. In this way, he can be said to have mastered the center of advancement and retreat and is in an invincible position. But it doesn't move.
Meng Dameng Er beat the person who was chirping until there was no exchange, and then each stood in front of the Cheng family gate with a stick, making the official Hou look like a Jiangdong hero.
After waiting for a moment, Hou Wenwu guessed that the other party was still considering it, so he said louder: "Brother Jinzhou, if Mr. Cheng is really seriously ill, then I will have to carry out the review work myself."
When Cheng Jinzhou was in a dilemma, Warlock Jiang Huangxing's voice suddenly came from mid-air: "If this gentleman is free, why don't you go in with me."
The fourth-level star warlock Jiang Huang, regardless of whether he had the title of Royal Star Warlock or not, was a person that people looked up to in Daxia. Hou Wenwu could no longer maintain his posture.
Cheng Jinzhou was slightly dazed, and subconsciously waved his hand, and Shi Mo quickly opened the door.
Warlock Jiang Huangxing walked in from the front door with a smile on his face, holding the recently released "Journal of Xia Jing Science" in his hand
