Chapter 446: Disbelief

Wu Fan did not take Zhao Qi's threat seriously. If he really wanted to escape, Zhao Qi might not be able to catch him. If he teleported back to reality, could she still let someone catch him in reality?

Of course, Wu Fan did not think of embezzling Zhao Qi's jade pendant.

Zhao Qi took the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Wu Fan, saying, "Keep it safe. I will redeem it soon."

"I'll wait." Wu Fan said.

Then, Zhao Qi left the restaurant with Xiao Qing, and Wu Fan and the other two continued to eat.

After eating and drinking, Wu Fan took Luo Yue and Luo Yang to the Sifengsi, which is a subordinate agency of the Ministry of Personnel, specializing in handling matters related to the awarding of honors by the court. Wu Fan's visit to the imperial capital this time is related to the awarding of honors, so naturally he had to report to this agency.

The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of officials in the world. Therefore, compared with officials of the same level in other departments, the positions of officials in the Ministry of Personnel are slightly higher by half a level, and the office of the Ministry of Personnel is also wider.

"What are you doing? Stay away from the strangers." As soon as Wu Fan and the other two arrived at the gate of the Sifengsi Yamen, a clerk came up to question them.

"I am Wu Fan, and I came to the imperial capital to see the emperor in accordance with the order of His Majesty." Wu Fan replied.

"Wu Fan? Wait a minute, I'll go check." The clerk heard that Wu Fan came to receive the order, so he didn't dare to drive Wu Fan away. However, his attitude was not very friendly. The staff of the Ministry of Personnel had to see so many officials every day, and they didn't care much about people from such places.

The clerk went in to check, and because Wu Fan and the other two were not allowed to enter, the three of them had to wait at the door. The sun was scorching, and the three of them were sweating profusely.

"It's just a small gatekeeper, but his attitude is so arrogant." Luo Yang said with some dissatisfaction.

"Stop talking nonsense and don't cause trouble for the adults." Luo Yue scolded.

"It's normal for a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, an official in the imperial capital, and working in the Ministry of Personnel, to be arrogant." Wu Fan said.

He was just from a remote county town, and his main job was just a militia captain. Such a position, not to mention in the imperial capital, even in Qingyuan County, not many people would take it seriously. If he was not a viscount, I am afraid that the county magistrate of Qingyuan County would not pay attention to him.

Therefore, Wu Fan was very calm.

Luo Yang complained just to defend Wu Fan. In his heart, Wu Fan was the most important person besides his sister. Now he was not welcomed, so he was naturally uncomfortable. However, with his sister and Wu Fan's words, he didn't say anything, but just complained about these officials in the imperial capital in his heart.

About fifteen minutes later, the clerk appeared in front of Wu Fan and the other two again and said to Wu Fan: "Are you the newly promoted viscount?"

"Yes." Wu Fan said.

"Come in with me." The clerk said, obviously finding Wu Fan's information.

"You two stay outside." The clerk said to Luo Yue and Luo Yang.

"Find a cooler place to wait for me." Wu Fan said to Luo Yue and Luo Yang.

"Yes, sir." Luo Yue and Luo Yang responded.

Under the guidance of the clerk, Wu Fan walked into the Sifengsi. The space inside was larger than it looked from the outside. Occasionally, officials and clerks walked by, but they did not look at Wu Fan.

"Go in and register your information clearly." The clerk took Wu Fan to a hall and said to Wu Fan.

Wu Fan nodded and walked in. There was a middle-aged man in his forties sitting behind a long table. He should be the person in charge of registration here.

"What's your name, where are you from, what's your position, and why did you come to the imperial capital." As soon as Wu Fan approached, the middle-aged man asked a series of questions with a somewhat casual look.

Wu Fan answered the other party's questions. When Wu Fan said that he was the captain of the militia, he could clearly feel the undisguised contempt in the other party's eyes.

"A small militia captain was promoted to viscount?" said the middle-aged man.

"Any questions?" Wu Fan asked.

"I can't register you. I suspect your ID card is fake. How can a militia captain be conferred the title of Viscount and come to the imperial capital to meet His Majesty?" the middle-aged man said sternly.

He is already over 40 years old this year, but he is still just a low-level official in the Sifengsi. Not to mention the title, even the official position is only from the eighth rank. The position of the eighth rank may be okay in the local area. After all, the county magistrate is only the seventh rank. However, in the imperial capital, it is the lowest of the lowest.

Wu Fan is only in his early twenties, but he actually has the title of Viscount. That is a title, and a Viscount can have his own fiefdom. How can he not be jealous and envious? In addition, Wu Fan said that he was just a militia captain, so he had to question it even more.

A small militia captain here, who doesn't even have the qualifications to guard the gate, how could he be conferred the title of Viscount?

"My title was conferred by His Majesty, and it was His Majesty who asked me to come to the imperial capital. If you don't understand, you can ask His Majesty." Wu Fan said lightly.

Facing the other party's suspicion and difficulties, Wu Fan was not intimidated. After all, everything he said was true, and he didn't need to be afraid of the other party's doubts.

"You are making a false argument!" The middle-aged man blushed and said angrily to Wu Fan.

He felt that Wu Fan was humiliating him. He was a low-ranking official of the eighth rank, who couldn't even enter the palace. How could he possibly see the emperor? Wu Fan said that deliberately to mock him.

"I think you are going too far and deliberately making things difficult for him." Wu Fan said.

Although when Wu Fan came to the Imperial Capital, he thought it would be best not to cause any trouble here. After all, the most powerful people in the entire Yanfeng Kingdom gathered here, and it would not be good for him to offend them.

However, when trouble comes, Wu Fan will not hide or be afraid. What's more, the other party is just a small registration staff.

"Asshole! How dare you speak of me like that!" The middle-aged man showed off his official power and shouted loudly: "Come here!"

This middle-aged man simply did not believe that Wu Fan, as a militia captain, could be made a viscount. To take a step back, even if Wu Fan was really a viscount, he would not be afraid. He was just a viscount from a remote place. If he was from the imperial capital Viscount, whose status was relatively noble, he didn't dare to offend, but Wu Fan was obviously different.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?" Just as the middle-aged man was about to call someone to arrest Wu Fan, another person walked in from the outside and said with an unhappy face: "Don't you know the Si Feng Si Yamen here? It's so noisy. What a shame!”

Seeing the visitor, the middle-aged man hurriedly ran out from behind the table. In front of the visitor, he bent his body at ninety degrees and said respectfully: "Master Li, why are you here?"
