Chapter 17 From now on, the ten-mile bluestone alley will only obey my orders!
The Heishan Yamen is neither far nor near from the Shili Qingshi Lane.

The game and competition with Jiang Zhou just now, as well as the encounters with Chen Zhenwu and Xie Wutong, and following Liu Tieyi to collect the service items and register as an official, all took some time.

When I returned to my residence again.

The sky was nearly setting.

Just passed by Carpenter Zhang's house.

Ji Xia heard a commotion and frowned instinctively.

"Who is this blind person who is causing trouble at this time?"

Zheng Fan was a little unhappy.

Today, the two of them came to "Qingshi Lane" specifically to clear Ji Xia's name.

Someone is making trouble at this time.

Even if it's just for show, both of them have to do a good job of saving face.

Moreover, which ordinary household in the outer city area is not afraid of labor service?

He was about to draw his sword and threaten him.

As a result, someone in front was faster.

Ji Xia did not respond to Zheng Fan's words, but just walked over quickly.

Before anyone arrived, he had already deduced what had happened from the open door and the expression of Zhang Yuan, who was lying on the side and didn't even dare to step over the threshold.

Then he glanced at Carpenter Zhang who fell to the ground, and remembered the bowl of hot porridge this morning. Ji Xia thought for a while, took off the newly scabbarded sword from his waist, and with all his strength, threw the scabbard into the air like a punch!
From a distance of several feet, he hit Wei Bao's back of the head hard, leaving a big bump.

He watched the man spinning around, then hurriedly grabbed the yamen knife with both hands.

At the same time, Ji Xia stepped into the yard and first helped Carpenter Zhang, who was still in shock but looked even more shocked when he saw him coming.
"In the Bluestone Alley, you are the sky?"

That voice just now was so loud.

Ji Xia could hear it clearly even from a distance.

He took the knife from Wei Bao and looked at him taking a step back with a half-smile on his face:
"Then do you know who I am?"

Wei Bao came back to his senses, his face full of anger:

"I don't give a shit about you."

The severe pain behind his head made his eyes bloodshot. Just as he was about to clench his fists, he saw the young man in officer's clothes in front of him.

In an instant, the movement stopped and stopped in front of the collar of the green dress.

"You are blind, Wei Bao!"

Zhong Xu, with a dark face, stepped through the threshold and followed closely:

"Can't you see the yamen clothes that Ji Chaye is wearing?"

"You dare to punch the police?"

"Or in this bluestone alley, punching the 'Ten Miles Officer' who is in charge of this place?"

"Do you believe that I caught you on the spot today?"

Zhong Xu and Zheng Fan are on duty at the Heishan Yamen today, but generally speaking, this is a rotation.

The two usually cover the streets and alleys within the "First Ring Road".

And it just so happened that Zhong Xu was in charge of the 'Fulu Street' where Wei Bao's mansion was located!
The two had met many times, and Wei Bao often represented the Wei family and gave him many benefits, both openly and secretly.

However, this relationship also has different degrees of closeness.

Relying on the head of the company, Chen Zhenwu, what is Ji Xia in Zhong Xu's eyes?
Ji Xia is the most promising person he can meet in the next ten years!
If it was the eldest son of the Wei Mansion, he might have considered it, but a son of a steward of the Wei Mansion...
He is not qualified yet!
Hearing this scolding that sounded like a slap in the face, Wei Bao was stunned:
"The officer in charge of Qingshi Lane?"

Isn’t that Jiang Zhou?
Are you kidding!
The Wei family had sent people to congratulate him before, and he went on behalf of his father, so how could he not recognize them?
How come you haven't seen me for just two or three days?
So you changed your surname from Jiang to Ji?
However, Ji Xia didn't care whether he was stunned or not.

After taking a look at Wei Bao and sorting out the whole story from Carpenter Zhang, Ji Xia had already made a decision:
"Bullying others, forcing others to buy or sell, breaking into people's houses, and injuring others"

Stab it!

Pull the handle out about an inch.

This action already frightened Wei Bao.

"More importantly, you dared to punch the policeman?"

"There are no rules and regulations. If I don't send him to the torture chamber for some 'training', he will probably become a lawless troublemaker in the future."

Ji Xia turned around and looked at Zheng Fan seriously. The latter immediately understood:
"Indeed, if we don't do anything about it, if they injure others and murder the police officers, it will cause chaos in the future."

After saying that, he stepped forward and arrested Wei Bao without further ado.

Even if the latter struggles.

But who is Zheng Fan?
The 'golden skin and jade veins' have been formed, and the 'mercury blood and silver marrow' may have even reached the right temperature.

There was no way he could escape.

Zhong Xu opened his mouth:

"This"

"Should we inform the Wei Mansion first?"

After all, he took money from other people, so he had to play some symbolic role.

But Zheng Fan looked calm at this moment:
"The rules cannot be broken."

"Notify me. Just let me know later."

The subtext of his words is,
You have to choose one of the two sides.

Since he had no close ties with the Wei family, he naturally had to help Ji Xia establish his authority.

In response to this, Zhong Xu remained silent and didn't know what to say.

"I, my father is..." Wei Bao still wanted to struggle.

As a result, he was slapped unconscious by Zheng Fan.

"So much nonsense."

After saying that, Zheng Fan looked at Ji Xia.

The latter understood and glanced around the messy yard.

When Zhang Yun saw Ji Xia's calm black eyes, her heart began to beat wildly. She lowered her head, her heart filled with joy and relief for surviving the calamity.

At the same time, looking at Ji Xia who had changed his appearance, lost his former wildness, and became heroic, talking and laughing with a sword drawn, she couldn't help but slightly close her legs and her neck turned red.

But unfortunately, Ji Xia didn't pay much attention to her.

"You" At this time, a hesitant female voice sounded.

After a while, Zhang Yun looked up when she heard some noise.

He only saw his mother, Chen, the wife of Carpenter Zhang, who had just returned from work. She looked at Ji Xia in astonishment at the door before she spoke.

As a result, he was frightened by the imposing young man and dared not say a word.

She was completely different from her aggressive appearance in the morning.

In response, Ji Xia glanced at her, smiled, and without staying for long, walked out of the yard.

There was a cool breeze outside and it was almost dusk, so many people who were having a good time after work gathered together in groups of three or five.

In Qingshi Alley, there was such a big commotion at Carpenter Zhang's house that everyone was curious.

When Ji Xia walked out, wearing the uniform of a police officer, it immediately caused a stir and some whispers:
"Officer's clothes, isn't this Ji Xia's kid?"

"Who said he came back limping yesterday? He doesn't look like he's limping at all!"

"Could it be that the rumor about Jiang Zhou is true? Did he really murder Ji Xia in exchange for the position of an official? And now the position has been returned to its original owner?"

"This"

"Could it be that Ji Erlang of the Ji family in Qingshi Lane is really going to soar to the sky?"

Ji Xia turned a blind eye to this.

He, Zheng Fan and the other two who were escorting Wei Bao walked all the way to the yamen residence in Qingshi Lane, a square courtyard with four rooms.

Then, he picked up the pen and erased the two words "Jiang Zhou" under "Guarding Qingshi Lane".

Then, I added————

'Summer.'

Then, Zheng Fan and Zhong Xu, who followed voluntarily, announced the appointment with the majesty of yamen officials, and the news spread throughout the entire Shili Qingshi Lane.

When the autumn wind blows the fallen leaves,
Before the sun sets.

In Qingshi Lane, there is only one person in charge.
That is.
He is Ji Xia, Ji Cha Ye!
