The more Zhu Ming and the old man Wen Xi chatted, the more enthusiastic they became. Poor Li Mingyi and Sima Cen, although they could understand the literal meaning of every word of their conversation, they didn't connect it to what they were talking about. They were feeling depressed. , the originally bustling lobby of Hongfu Restaurant suddenly fell silent.
A group of officers and soldiers have already poured in at the door. They are all City Guards soldiers wearing soap uniforms with white piping on their cuffs and collars.
These soldiers are all soldiers who were eliminated from the selection years ago and filled into the local area. Their role is similar to that of the police and armed police in later generations. They are more than enough to maintain public order and deal with ordinary pirates and thieves.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen soldiers pouring in, and they immediately blocked the already crowded lobby of the restaurant.
"There are those few people who dared to attack the officials after making rude remarks. They must be spies from the Japanese on the sea." The Zaoli and others named Cai, who were beaten out in despair a moment ago, are now pointing their fingers at Zhu Ming and the others in a triumphant manner.
Hey hey, you foreigners, you have offended me and you still dare to sit here and drink arrogantly, you are really immortal. Mr. Cai is very proud. Later, you can completely find the place that was just thrown away, and let everyone have the final say here.
When the city guard soldiers saw the real master, they pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords one by one, and a leader came forward immodestly. However, his words were not out of line. He just asked, "Can you please help me?" Go to the yamen and explain everything. "
"This official, we are just here to have a good drink. Officials must abide by the rules. The emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty.

At this moment, he met This incident made him feel a little gloomy, so he spoke out without waiting for his subordinates to speak.
"Look, look, Li Shichang, such arrogant gangsters, hurry up and bring them to justice." Seeing that the chief of the city guard was still hesitating, Cai Eryi said with hesitation, "Li Shichang, You want my brother-in-law to suffer the consequences if he hears that you are so conniving with the gangsters today."
This last sentence of Cai Er is quite lethal. The city guards are still under the management of the city lord's palace. Their small group of city guards is stationed at the port to check the ships entering and leaving. This means that Cai Er's brother-in-law is the supervisor of a few people.
This is also Zhu Ming's tragedy. With few talents, he can only simplify the system as much as possible, which makes many yamen have too much power.
The leader of the city guard was finally forced by Cai Er's influence. After all, there was only one brother-in-law in charge of the Chuancun Port Import and Export Yamen.
"àá,àá" sound, the Yanling knives were unsheathed one after another. "You guys better get up and go." After saying that, he took Li Shichang and looked around. He was a talkative person, so it's better to understand things quickly, otherwise something will happen again.
Just when Li Shichang was ready to be soft and hard, two black gun muzzles appeared in front of everyone.
"How can it be appropriate to take out a firearm in such a presumptuous and public manner?" Zhu Ming was the first to speak. In this wine shop, there were many people talking, so it was really inappropriate to take out a gun anyway.
The two guards were also
