Chapter 82: A mouthful of fragrant tea

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Fang Zhengzhi didn't know whether he had killed the River of Trust Capital Head's entire family, but, he felt that his name shouldn't be appearing on this official portrait drawing at all.

Interesting?

Being pasted at the city gate for no good reason!

Fang Zhengzhi felt that he should shout that he was wronged in front of the county head's door, or at least make a clarification. But, if he really did this, it seemed a bit like walking into the trap.

What to do? After being wanted, can he still peacefully register for the capital examination?

"Young Master Fang! At least I have managed to wait for you!" As Fang Zhengzhi was deep in hesitation, an excited voice came from within the city gate.

Then, a boy servant wearing black clothes quickly sprinted towards his direction.

"Oh no, I'm discovered!" Fang Zhengzhi instinctively wanted to kick out, then, suddenly realised that this boy servant was somewhat familiar. After looking carefully, it was actually the one in charge of the betting stand at the Huai An County.

"Because of Young Master Fang's blessing, I have already been shifted to the River of Trust Capital to work. This is a small gift I've prepared, I hope Young Master Fang can keep it!" As he spoke, the boy servant fished out a red banner from his pockets and respectively passed it to Fang Zhengzhi.

"Huh? Giving me money again?" Fang Zhengzhi felt somewhat strange. Sometimes, good things came too fast, it was indeed hard to get used to.

But, getting used to was one thing, receiving it was another.

Hence, without hesitation, he directly received the red banner. Opening it, he saw a letter of invitation, with a fifty tael silver note inside.

The boy servant actually had fifty taels of silver? If this was given to an average household, it probably could be used to pay a year's worth of bills?

Even though he was a little stunned in his heart, but Fang Zhengzhi didn't reveal it.

He only smiled slightly. Accept smilingly, why can one accept without smiling?

"Since things are like this, I'll keep it. Then, what is this invitation letter about?"

"Thank you, Young Master Fang! This invitation letter is because my master heard that Fang Zhengzhi was the Double Roll Champion of the county examination, hence specially held a feast to apologize to Young Master Fang!" The boy servant instantly explained.

Fang Zhengzhi somewhat understood. This master seemed to have felt that the words passed to this boy servant had hurt his heart, hence was here to apologise.

But…

Now he is a wanted man? Can he still enter this River of Trust capital? Furthermore, could this feast be set up to harm him, purposely capturing him in exchange for reward?

The probabilities were too many, hence Fang Zhengzhi felt that he should take a look first.

"You… do you know what is this about?" Fang Zhengzhi pointed at the portrait at the city gate.

"This? Young Master Fang doesn't know?" The boy servant felt rather odd. But, looking at Fang Zhengzhi's expression, the boy servant instantly became respectful again. "Young Master Fang has misunderstood, this is not a wanted order!"

"Not a wanted order?!" Fang Zhengzhi had an urge to swear. If this wasn't a wanted order, why was it pasted at the city gate? If this wasn't a wanted order, why did you paste my portrait?

"It indeed isn't a wanted order, but, the results are even more powerful than a wanted order. I am only a runner, and don't know the details. But, my master would definitely know." The boy servant's eyes spun, and very quickly diverted the attention of Fang Zhengzhi to his purpose for coming this time.

"You mean, when I meet your master, I will know?" Fang Zhengzhi naturally inferred what the boy servant meant.

"Yes!" The boy servant nodded his head.

Fang Zhengzhi's attitude changed slightly. He had been feeling that something was strange about this. After a moment of thought, his eyes lit up, walked directly to the portrait drawing in front of the city gate and tore it down.

This move instantly attracted the attention of some passers-by.

"Ah! It's Fang Zhengzhi!"

"Quick look, Fang Zhengzhi has appeared!"

"This lecher has finally arrived at the River of Trust Capital, there will be a good show to see this time round!"

Instantly, a few passers-by dressed in scholar clothes began to shout. Each of their expressions were indignant at injustice, but, nobody went to capture Fang Zhengzhi.

A few armoured soldiers guarding the city gate also heard this voice.

Then, sweeping their gazes across Fang Zhengzhi, they mysteriously didn't have any intention of advancing. But, within the eyes appeared an unmistakable sense of pity.

"Looks like it really isn't a wanted order…" Fang Zhengzhi relaxed.

If it really was a wanted order, him tearing it up in front of everybody would definitely cause the guards at the city gate to catch him, or at least interrogate him.

Then…

That's where the problem came.

Who would be so brave as to paste his portrait at the city gate. Furthermore, most importantly, the guard at the city gate clearly knew about his, but didn't stop it from happening?

This was a place where the officials pasted announcements and wanted orders!

Isn't it too strange?

"Young Master Fang, can we enter the city now?" The boy servant didn't quite understand the true intention of Fang Zhengzhi tearing down the portrait, but guessed that whoever had their portrait pasted at the city gate would definitely not be very comfortable.

"Don't we need to go inform your master first?" Fang Zhengzhi nodded and asked casually.

"Young Master Fang don't worry, as long as you nod your head, there will naturally be someone to inform our master!" When the boy servant said this, a proud expression instantly appeared on his face.

"Let's go!' Fang Zhengzhi thought that it was almost time to eat, and there was someone giving him money and treating him to a meal, naturally he thought that it would be inconvenient to reject.

"Young Master Fang, please. Oh, by the way, my name is Su Jiu, Young Master Fang can call me Ah Jiu next time. If in the future Young Master Fang wants to commit some murder or arson and so on, feel free to get someone to inform Ah Jiu, I will definitely carry it out perfectly!" As Su Jiu walked, he introduced himself to Fang Zhengzhi.

For the first time, Fang Zhengzhi became rather speechless. This Su Jiu… seems rather interesting?

"How about things like snatching women?"

"Young Master Fang who do you think I am? I will snatch one for you right now!" When Su Jiu heard this, he instantly became excited.

"There is a person in the Divine Constabulary called Chi Guyan, do you know her?"

"..."

Snatching Chi Guyan naturally wasn't an option, and Fang Zhengzhi on the other hand didn't fuss over it. Instead, he followed Su Jiu to a place called "Moonview Restaurant".

Once they entered the hall, a girl servant wearing a red dress replaced Su Jiu and led Fang Zhengzhi up the building.

Very quickly, they reached the fifth floor and he was brought into an exquisite ancient-styled room.

Then, the girl servant excused herself.

And another girl servant served a pot of fragrant tea and refreshments.

"Young Master Fang please wait, master will arrive soon!" The girl servant slowly withdrew.

Everything seemed to be clear and in good order. Under such circumstances, Fang Zhengzhi also had the rare opportunity to assume an elegant manner. Smiling faintly, he nodded his head at the girl servant. When the girl servant withdrew, he lifted up the teacup in front of him, sipped it lightly, rolled it over his tongue, then after savouring it for a while, swallowed it.

The fragrance filled his mouth, and texture was smooth and slippery.

"Not bad!" Fang Zhengzhi praised, then poured the remaining tea in the cup into his mouth.

"I apologise for my previous slip of the tongue, and feel very guilty inside. I heard Ah Jiu say that Young Master Fang once said that "I he is a male, I'll smack him with a rod, if she is a female, I will bang bang bang on the spot!". I am willing to accept it, but I don't know what does this bang bang bang… mean?" At this moment, a sweet voice rang out from outside the door.

Then, an exquisite figure walked in slowly.

She wore black thin summer dress with black pleated skirt with a golden tree peony sown on it and on her shoulders, were a light muslin thin covering. Her facial appearance was picturesque, and her skin white as snow. Between her eyebrows, there was a bright red vermilion dot, like a beautiful red flower in the white snow.

One look at her caused one to feel her sweetness and charm, and be absorbed by her beauty.

"Pfff!" Fang Zhengzhi was initially preparing to leisurely swallow a mouthful of fragrant tea. Suddenly hearing the girl's words, he instantly sprayed his mouthful of fragrant tea towards the girl's face...
