343　　"If old Alutai cannot avenge himself, then my lord, you can establish your prestige and thereby gain the support of the Mulan people in Mianshui County."

　　"So, you can take advantage of this to make a profit."

　　"I have received your kindness, and I will certainly go through fire and water for you, without hesitation!"

　　Chen Jie started to attack Darughachi.

　　Yelu listened to this and his eyes narrowed slightly: "For me? Go through fire and water without hesitation?"

　　"That's right. In fact, I was supported by you. You are my root. I should go through fire and water for you. And my brother is my arm. So he is also your man. Don't you agree?"

　　Upon hearing this, Yelu looked at Chen Jie and said, "You are quite clever, but what you said is not without reason."

　　Chen Jie said, "Also, sir, I have indeed gone too far recently. I promise you that from now on, as long as Nan Batian doesn't deliberately cause trouble for me, I will never cause trouble for him. I will make sure that when the inspector comes to Mianshui, he will see a harmonious Mianshui County."

　　Yelu heard this and raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay, okay, I said Jiusi knows how to advance and retreat. This matter obviously has nothing to do with the White Tiger Hall. Qimuge, you and Jiusi go to the government office and solve the matter. By the way, at noon, Jiusi, come back. I have invited Nan Batian and Liu Laoguai to dinner at my mansion. You can come too."

　　"yes."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately agreed, and followed Qimuge who was standing beside him and said, "Let's go, brother Jiusi. The master has been thinking about you for a long time. Come with me to get your brother out."

　　As Qimuge was speaking, Chen Jie said, "Thank you, Commander."

　　The two men took their leave. Yelu looked at the water and threw a handful of fish food into the water. This was just like raising fish. If they were hungry, he would feed them food. If they were full, he would tap them.

　　Only in this way can you be obedient.

　　At this time, Chen Jie followed Qimugege out, thinking in his heart, as expected, Yelu wanted to use this incident to warn him, and if he pretended to be the grandson today, everything would be solved.

　　Therefore, to deal with Yelu, you have to understand his temper. Once you understand it, you can control him.

　　…

　　Back inside the yamen, Chen Xiaohu was furious. These bastards were so bold that they even dared to wrongly accuse his brother Jiu Si. He wished he could kill them.

　　However, when he saw the look Wu Hong gave him, Chen Xiaohu suppressed the violent thoughts in his heart.

　　Tang Wannian was also surprised. These Mulan people were really crazy. They even wanted to frame Chen Jiusi. Was Chen Jiusi an ordinary person?

　　Thinking of this, Tang Wannian said, "Ahem, you just said that Tara was killed by Chen Jiusi in order to save the young couple in the wine shop? Do you have any evidence?"

　　As soon as these words came out, the sitting woman pointed at the kneeling young couple and said, "They are the evidence. Tell me, was it this Chen Xiaohu who wanted to molest you, and was my husband killed by Chen Jiusi in order to save you?"

　　After hearing this, the young couple on the ground trembled all over, remembering the brutality of the Mulan people. Their children and parents were in the hands of these Mulan people.

　　So they said, "No, that's right, that's it!"

　　"you!"

　　After hearing what the young couple said, Xiaohu became furious. If I hadn't helped you yesterday, I wouldn't have gotten into all this trouble. Now you are actually framing me. Where is your conscience?

　　The young couple were so humbled by Xiaohu's yelling that they couldn't say a word. They thought they were beasts for repaying kindness with enmity. But if they didn't do what these Mulan people said, their family would be finished. So, I'm sorry, you are a good person!

　　Xiaohu scolded the two of them, but it was of no use.

　　At this time, the woman who was sitting stood up and said, "County Magistrate Tang, the situation is now clear. The murderers are Chen Xiaohu and Chen Jiusi. Please give the order to arrest them!"

　　Tang Wannian was embarrassed when he heard this. Who should he arrest? Chen Jiusi?

　　Are you kidding me? Who can take him?

　　Just when Tang Wannian was hesitating, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Haha, there is no need for Master Tang to do anything, Chen is here by himself. I want to see who can convict me, Chen Jiusi, today!"

　　After saying that, a man strode in from outside the yamen!

Chapter 171: Scheming against Nan Batian

　　Chen, Chen Jiusi!

　　Seeing the person who walked in, everyone around looked at him, and all their eyes were focused on Chen Jiusi.

　　Chen Jie walked up to the lobby with a smile on his face, and bowed to Tang Wannian and said, "County Magistrate Tang, I'm here. I heard that someone said I was the murderer, so I'm here to fall into their trap. Please don't bother County Magistrate Tang to arrest me!"

　　Hearing this, Tang Wannian immediately smiled: "Haha... Master Chen, you are joking. How could you be the murderer?"

　　"It must be this adulterous couple who falsely accused Master Chen. Master Chen, please don't be surprised!"

　　Tang Wannian pointed at the young couple from the wine shop on the ground and said affirmatively that he dared to offend this young couple, so the problem must be with this young couple.

　　Do you think this young couple was wronged?

　　Is it important?

　　It doesn't matter, because no one cares about their feelings. In this environment where the strong prey on the weak, only the strong can survive. As for the weak, do they deserve to be bullied?

　　Unfortunately, yes.

　　Because they have no protection from the strong and the weak do not know how to resist, they can only be used as food by the strong.

　　Chen Jie felt very sympathetic towards them, but he could not help them because Chen Jie was not yet the Supreme. If he were the Supreme, he could use his mercy to save the world, but he was not.

　　He is just a player in the game.

　　Chen Jie stood there, looked at Tang Wannian and said, "Mr. Magistrate, let me tell you about what happened yesterday. Yesterday's incident actually had nothing to do with my brother."

　　"If you say it's okay, then it's okay!"

　　At this time, the Mulan woman shouted sternly. After hearing this voice, Chen Jie looked at her with a squinting eye and asked, "Who are you?"

　　The woman said, "Tara's wife!"

　　"Who is Tara?"

　　Chen Jie looked at Tang Wannian. Tang Wannian was very upset. He didn't even know the deceased. Well, he was really a confused county magistrate. He judged a confused case. So let him be confused like this.

　　Tang Wannian pointed to the body on the ground and said, "That Mulan noble is Tara."

　　Chen Jie took a quick look and said, "Well, I haven't seen it. It wasn't someone from our White Tiger Hall who killed him."

　　The woman was immediately furious: "If you say it's not, then it's not. Who the hell do you think you are?"

　　Mu Lanren had always been arrogant, and at this time she started scolding Chen Jie directly. Chen Jie looked at her and frightened her so much that she stepped back repeatedly, almost unable to stand, and sat down on the chair.

　　Chen Jie glanced at her and said, "If you talk to me like this on a normal day, you'd be dead!"

　　"Hasn't anyone ever told you not to mess with the Thirteen Protectors?"

　　Chen Jie's voice was cold.

　　The woman shuddered, but her century-long sense of national superiority would not allow her to be intimidated by a Han Chinese, so she angrily said, "Why are you so arrogant? I am a noble Mulan people. So what if you are one of the Thirteen Guardians? You dare to kill me!"

　　Chen Jie squinted his eyes and said nothing when he heard this, because if it hadn't been in the court, she would have been chopped into pieces and thrown into the Mian River to feed the fish!

　　The situation was frozen for a moment, and Tang Wannian didn't know how to judge the case.

　　At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and then Qimuge, dressed in black armor, walked in and said, "Jiu Si, we are not done yet. Nan Batian and Old Monster Liu have already set off."

　　Chen Jie smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "Commander, this noble lady Mulan insisted on putting me in jail, and I was still thinking about how to beg for mercy from Lord Tang."

　　Tang Wannian suddenly saw Qimuge at this moment, and immediately stood up, ran over and asked, "Commander, why are you here? What instructions does Lord Yelu have?"

　　Qimugege has a special identity in Mianshui County, that is, Lord Yelu's substitute. He often does things for Lord Yelu, so when other people see him, they basically understand Lord Yelu's intentions.

　　At this time, Qimuge said, "Master Tang, why are you so long-winded in trying a case? Just make a judgment quickly. Master Yelu said that Baihutang is not guilty."

　　After hearing this, Tang Wannian immediately said, "Yes, I understand."

　　Tang Wannian ran back to his desk as the county magistrate. The noblewoman beside him frowned at Qimuge and said, "Qimuge, what does Lord Yelu mean? We Mulan people are being bullied, but you are letting him go without knowing the reason? Is he an official of our Mulan people or a Han official?"

　　"Um?"

　　Qimuge turned to look at the noblewoman and said with a mocking look on his face, "Wife of Muyet Tara, the highest member of your Muyet family is only a captain of a thousand men. With your lowly status, do you dare to question the decision of Lord Yelu, who was a prime minister for three dynasties?"

　　"You are worthy!"

　　Qimugege doesn't indulge any crappy noblewoman. Your family has produced at most one captain of a thousand men in the past hundred years. You guys who live off your ancestors' wealth dare to be disrespectful to Lord Yelu. You must be tired of living.

　　No matter how poor our Yelu family is, we are still nobles in Dadu. How can you country folk question that?

　　That's ridiculous.

　　You always flaunt the glory earned by your ancestors and even dare to question Lord Yelu's decision. Don't you know that you are not as useful as a manager of the White Tiger Hall?

　　Lord Yelu is helping you because of your Mulan identity, otherwise why would you be showing off here in front of Chen Jiusi?

　　Is it just based on the limited strength of your family?

　　It's ridiculous. If Chen Jiusi really wanted to get serious, it would only take him a word to wipe out your entire family!

　　Sometimes, Qimugege felt it was funny. How could these stupid fellows think that they, as ordinary people, dared to be arrogant towards the Han martial arts masters just because of their noble status?

　　Yes, in terms of status, they are inferior to you. You are Mulan nobles, and they are Han people and untouchables.

　　But putting aside your identities, how can you compare with others?

　　madness!

　　This is the comment Qimuge gave them. In the past hundred years, some of the nobles in Mulan have become useless.

　　A hundred years ago, their ancestors were the Mulan heroes who galloped across the desert and conquered the north and south. They followed the Han Dynasty, galloped all the way, and conquered the Eurasian continent. How heroic they were at that time.

　　What happened after they took control of the Central Plains?

　　They were all eroded by the beauty of the Central Plains, indulged in alcoholism, and relaxed their military preparations, causing the fighting power that they once prided themselves on to be completely lost.

　　Only an empty shell of nobility remains.

　　If the establishment of the Darughachi Palace had not guaranteed their status, how could they have lived like emperors in various places?

　　The current Mulan tribe can be said to be in disarray. Apart from the three legions that can still fight, the other tribes have basically no combat power to show for themselves.

　　Moreover, the Mulan people have never been willing to put down their pride, to assimilate, learn from the Han people, or integrate into the Han people, which will ultimately lead to severe ethnic conflicts.

　　They always feel that the Han people are lambs to be slaughtered and consider themselves a noble nation.

　　But why don't they think about the fact that more than a hundred years ago, they were also regarded as pariahs by others. At that time, there was a nation called Jurchens who ruled Mulan for more than twenty years. Mulan was also called pariahs by them. But what about twenty years later?

　　The Jin Dynasty was destroyed!

　　Such a lesson is right before our eyes, but the people of Mulan never learn from it.

　　From the prime minister of the imperial court to the herdsmen in the local areas, all of them live with the ridiculous idea that they are a noble nation.
