"Old Lord, in the past he was a person of the court, just like you, and no matter how much he caused a fuss, there had to be a limit; he couldnât go too far, because he had concerns."
"But if itâs as you said just now, that this person has already harbored rebellious intentions and even rebelled from Longxing Prefecture, then we must be careful because heâs now a fugitive who might be hiding somewhere, ready to take lives."
"If the Old Lord charges into the line of fire now, no one can save you!"
Wu Daojun said to the Old Prefect. The Old Prefect, upon hearing this, immediately said: "This..."
"Old Lord, with your esteemed position, you must avoid being in harmâs way. As long as Chen Jiusi is not killed, heâs like a sword lurking in the shadows; if weâre even slightly careless, it could be the end for us!"
Upon hearing this, the Old Prefect touched his head and said, "This... itâs indeed dangerous, almost cost this old life!"
As they spoke, the Advisor asked, "Lord, what should we do now?"
The Prefect, hearing this, looked at Wu Daojun and asked, "Hero Wu, what do you think I should do?"
Wu Daojun said, "Who incited todayâs incident?"
The Advisor said, "It was our people; we provoked the Fishing Guild as per the Lordâs orders."
After hearing this, Wu Daojun said, "Advisor, prepare some gifts immediately, then take people to apologize to the Fishing Guild and make sure to obtain their forgiveness."
"Ah, this?"
The Advisor looked at the Lord Prefect, and the Prefect glared and said, "What âthisâ? Do you want me to apologize for you!"
Upon hearing this, the Advisor immediately put on a mournful face and said, "Alright, alright, Iâll go, Iâll go!"
The Advisor spoke, then immediately had some gifts prepared, and took people to the place where they had caused trouble.
At this time, all the beaten Government Officials were gathered together, lying there groaning, while Chief Zhang was looking at the Fishing Guild people with a face full of resentment.
You just wait to die.
At this moment, the sound of hoofbeats was heard, followed by someone exclaiming, "Look, people from the Magistrate Government are coming."
With this shout, everyone immediately looked towards the end of the street and saw the Advisor riding a tall horse coming directly towards them, followed by a group of bodyguards. Soon they reached here.
Upon seeing this, Chief Zhang laughed heartily and said, "Riffraff of the Fishing Guild, youâre done for. See what I do to you when you fall into my hands!"
"Wait to die!"
Chief Zhang shouted arrogantly, while the Hua Jing Hall Master beside him stood with an iron face, but straight and proud.
Then the Advisor quickly came forward, following closely with a document and said, "Are you the ones causing trouble?"
The Advisorâs eyes glanced at the Hua Jing Hall Master of the Fishing Guild, suddenly exuding a terrifying pressure; he turned out to be a strongman in the Holding Core Realm.
This was using his own aura to suppress the Hua Jing Hall Master.
The Hua Jing Hall Masterâs face was pressed iron blue, trying his best to hold on through gritted teeth.
At this moment, he spoke, "It was your Magistrate Government people who bullied us first, we were forced to retaliate."
"Forced, I donât care if you were forced, Iâm just asking, were you causing trouble or not?"
The Hua Jing Hall Master looked at the Advisor in the Holding Core Realm in front of him and said through gritted teeth, "We didnât cause trouble."
"Didnât cause trouble, huh, didnât cause trouble? Then whatâs going on here? You truly have the guts to provoke our Xianning Prefecture, utterly lawless."
The Hua Jing Hall Master replied, "What do you want to do?"
"I donât want to do anything, and I donât want to make things difficult for you. Let me put it this way, our Lord Prefect already knows about the incident today, but out of respect for the Fishing Guild being part of the Jianghu Righteous Gang, we donât want to pursue it. So, you just apologize to Chief Zhang here and offer a compensation of ten thousand taels for medical expenses, and todayâs matter will be resolved."
"Moreover, if you wish to develop the Fishing Guild further in Xianning Prefecture, we wonât obstruct you; howâs that for sincerity?"
"As for the brother and sister who were bullied, hereâs a token gift from our Magistrate Government, a fortune for them to receive such rewards after a bit of bullying!"
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Liu, who was bullied, immediately displayed a face full of anger and said, "I donât want your things, take them away."
Xiao Liuâs attitude was resolute. Seeing him like this, the Advisor squinted his eyes and asked, "Then what do you want?"
Xiao Liu replied, "They must apologize to us!"
Xiao Liu at this time holding his sister, cried in a whisper.
Seeing Xiao Liu like this, the Advisor glanced at Chief Zhang, and at this time Chief Zhang frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, I wonât apologize."
Well now, Chief Zhang turned out to be the Advisorâs brother-in-law.
The Advisor, frowning at this point, said, "Apologize, just apologize, itâs no big deal, weâll compensate with some money, and this will be over."
"We donât want money!"
Xiao Liu said resolutely, the Advisor hearing this looked at him and said, "Donât know whatâs good for you."
Xiao Liu, aggravated, said, "You bullied my sister and me, and say we donât know whatâs good for us, I just donât want money!"
The Advisor, hearing this, laughed mockingly and said, "Two lowly people dare talk to me like this, are you the Manager? What do you say?"
"Will you accept the respect from the Magistrate Government?"
With that, the Advisor encouraged his Gang Qi and looked at the Hua Jing Hall Master. The Hall Master, hearing this, showing some hesitation, looked at Xiao Liu, then felt the pressure on him, finally spoke after a while, "Apology, we need your apology."
The Advisor, hearing this, angrily said, "Donât know whatâs good for you."
Saying this, he suddenly grabbed the right hand of the Hua Jing Hall Master, twisting it forcefully. The Hua Jing Hall Master hurriedly resorted to his Gang Qi to resist, but was still tightly gripped by the Advisor. Looking at the Hall Master, the Advisor said, "Do as I say, and this matter will be resolved, okay!"
