A Fifth-Rank Section Chief of the Ministry of Revenue (Thanks to the readers for the "Generating Power with Love" gifts)
The last young man in red robe, with a somewhat impetuous expression on his face, glanced around the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Su Fei.
There were only five people at their table, and there were no guards around them. They looked like ordinary rich kids.
The red-robed young man's eyes lit up and he said casually.
"Since there are no seats, why don't we just buy a few seats? I think the location of that table is good. They don't even have guards. They are definitely not big shots. We give them a hundred taels of silver and let them stand and watch. We sit and watch. Wouldn't it be nice?"
After saying that, without waiting for the other two people to agree, he took two guards and swaggered to the table of Su Fei, his chin slightly raised.
He slapped a heavy piece of silver on the table.
"Brothers, we want this teahouse. Here are one hundred taels of silver. You take the money and leave quickly."
The silver fell on the table and made a crisp sound. When the guests at the surrounding tables heard the movement, they all looked over quietly, with a bit of sympathy in their eyes.
Three Young Masters of West City's reputation in the Western District of the Imperial City is not very good. Since his father is an official in the imperial court, the three of them advance and retreat together outside, and they have always been domineering.
Most people don't dare to provoke them.
These people are being targeted by Three Young Masters of West City and may be in trouble.
But the Su Fei people seemed not to hear or see it. The Zhang Lie people were even eating snacks with their heads down, without even raising their eyelids.
Su Fei held the tea cup and took a slow sip without even looking at the red-robed young man.
The red-robed young man saw that Su Fei didn't even raise his eyelids in the face of his "show of goodwill". The sense of humiliation of being ignored instantly surged into his heart, his face suddenly darkened, and his tone became fierce.
"What? I'm giving you face, aren't you? Take the money and get out of here before I take action."
Seeing that Su Fei still didn't respond, the red-robed young man was completely annoyed and scolded the two guards behind him.
"Why are you still standing there? Get them out of here. If anyone dares to resist, I will break their legs!"
The two guards were originally warriors hired by the red-robed young master's house. They were used to following the red-robed young master's mischief. When they heard the master's order, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and came forward.
Drive away Su Fei people.
But just when they walked in front of Su Fei, Su Fei finally made a move.
He slowly raised the tea cup in his hand. The rim of the cup was tilted, and the green tea soup slowly flowed down the wall of the cup, flowing downward like a waterfall, and landed on the celadon saucer on the table.
Then, he bent his right index finger and flicked it.
Four drops of tea suddenly shot out from the waterfall.
He accurately shot the knees of the two warrior guards.
Click!
Accompanied by two crisp sounds of bone cracking.
The arrogance on the faces of the two guards instantly solidified, replaced by extreme pain.
Their legs weakened, and they fell to their knees with a plop. Their knees quickly became red and swollen, large beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, and heart-wrenching moans came from their mouths.
"Ah, my knee is broken."
This sudden scene silenced the entire hall instantly, even the sound of pipa on the stage stopped, and everyone's eyes were focused on Su Fei.
No one expected that this gentle-looking young man could be so powerful that he could break the guard's knees with just a few drops of tea.
The red-robed young man turned pale with fright, his whole body trembled, and his arrogance disappeared without a trace in an instant.
He had never seen such a scene before. Looking at the miserable state of the guards, he suddenly felt a chill in his knees. He felt that these people in front of him were definitely not ordinary people. They were afraid that they might be in trouble this time.
He even forgot to take the silver on the table, and ran towards the blue-robed young master on a rolling crawl, with a cry in his voice.
"Master Zhang, Zhang Tianxing, something happened. These people, these people are really capable, we can't afford to offend them."
The blue-robed young master Zhang Tianxing was leaning against the pillar, slowly swinging his folding fan and looking at the dancer's performance on the stage with a squinting look.
When he heard the cry of the young man in red robe, his face was full of disdain and he didn't take it seriously.
His father is Ministry of Revenue Fifth Rank Tangguan Zhang Baokun.
Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the imperial government's finances, and his official father, Fifth Rank, is quite valuable.
Fifth Rank officers from other departments have to be polite when meeting Zhang Baokun, so his reputation as a junior officer has always been useful in West City, and I have never met anyone who dared not show respect.
"What are you panicking about?"
Zhang Tianxing put away the folding fan and patted the red-robed young master on the shoulder with a haughty tone.
"Isn't it just that two guards were beaten? What a big deal, here West City, no one dares to deny me Zhang Tianxing face, I'll go and take a look."
After that, he took the yellow-robed young master and the remaining four guards, walked to Su Fei's table in a swagger, and looked at Su Fei condescendingly, his eyes full of contempt.
"Did you just hurt my person?"
Su Fei then slowly raised his head and looked at Zhang Tianxing calmly without saying a word.
He didn't want to deal with this idle young man at all.
Zhang Tianxing Seeing that he didn't answer, he thought he was scared, so he became even more arrogant and raised his chin higher.
"I think you don't know who my father is, right? My father is Ministry of Revenue Fifth Rank in charge Zhang Baokun. If you dare to hurt my people, believe it or not, I will ask my father to put your whole family in prison so that you will never be able to stand up again."
He thought that if he used the name "Ministry of Revenue Fifth Rank Official", the other party would be so frightened that he would kneel down and beg for mercy, but Su Fei just glanced at him lightly, picked up the tea cup, and took another sip of tea with a calm tone.
"Ministry of Revenue Fifth Rank Chief, a very big official, look at what this is."
Su Fei took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Tianxing.
Zhang Tianxing took the token carelessly and looked at it carefully.
On it were written the words 'Ministry of Revenue Minister Zhang Xiongfei came in person'.
Zhang Tianxing's fingers holding the token suddenly tightened.
The original arrogant look in his eyes was instantly replaced by fear, and even his breathing became rapid.
He repeatedly stared at the words "Ministry of Revenue Shangshu Zhang Xiongfei came in person" on the token and rubbed his eyes several times.
It's true, who would dare to fake this kind of thing?
This is the token personally awarded by the most senior minister in Ministry of Revenue. Apart from the two ministers, can anyone else get it in Ministry of Revenue?
His father, Zhang Baokun, was just a fifth-rank manager of the Ministry of Revenue. He went to the Ministry of Revenue every day as an errand and could not see Zhang Xiongfei, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, once a year.
Let alone speak, there was no chance to speak.
Just now, he used his father's name to show off his power, but now he has offended people related to Minister Zhang.
If this matter reaches the ears of my father, I am afraid that his legs will be broken and he will not be able to leave the house in the future.
Zhang Tianxing's face turned from pale to purple, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. He quickly returned the token to Su Fei with both hands, bending like chaff.
His tone also changed from arrogant to flattering.
"Sir, please forgive me. I was ignorant of Mount Tai and bumped into you. I wonder if you are a relative of Minister Zhang or you also work at Ministry of Revenue?"
