Chapter 823 Breaking in

Ji Pei had a hint of pride on his face.

His son was right. He had been a university scholar for many years. Although he had never been sent out to serve as an official, he had made many connections, especially among scholars. He had a high prestige. Before he retired, even a viscount, let alone a marquis, had to be polite to him.

Although he retired and returned to his hometown, his connections were still there, and his prestige had not decreased. It was not a problem to deal with a viscount.

At least, he thought so.

"I will write a memorial to report this matter to His Majesty. Wu Fan was arrogant and acted recklessly. I believe His Majesty will not sit idly by." Ji Pei said.

"Yes, although you have retired, you can still write a memorial to Your Majesty. Wu Fan is just a viscount. In His Majesty's heart, your words must be more important." Ji Pei's son said.

"Of course, if I am not even as good as a viscount, wouldn't your father have spent all these years in the Hanlin Academy in vain?" Ji Pei said proudly.

Originally, in Ji Pei's view, it was not a problem to find someone with a higher status than Wu Fan to talk about Wu Fan's beating of his grandson, and let Wu Fan apologize. He was confident that he still had this face.

However, he chose to write a memorial to the old emperor. On the one hand, he wanted to show his presence in front of the old emperor, and at the same time let everyone in Qingyuan County know that although he had retired, he could still reach the emperor's ears. In this way, his status in Qingyuan County would be more transcendent.

Of course, Ji Pei did this for another purpose, which was to severely punish Wu Fan! If he asked someone else to mediate the matter, Wu Fan would at most apologize and leave it at that. After all, he was a viscount, and ordinary people had no right to punish him.

But it would be different if the old emperor came forward. Wu Fan would not be as simple as apologizing at that time. Ji Pei also wanted to let others know that not everyone can beat the people of their Ji family!

Of course, when writing the memorial, he must have "processed" this matter.

"Who are you? Hey, I'm talking to you, you can't come in, get out, get out!"

Just when Ji Pei was flattered by his son, there was a noise outside, and then Ji Pei's family saw a group of people rushing in, and the servants in their house followed them and couldn't stop them.

"Master, these people broke in without saying a word, we can't stop them." The servant said to Ji Pei.

The smug look on Ji Pei's face had completely disappeared, and it became very ugly.

Someone actually dared to break into their Ji Mansion!

This had never happened before. Whoever came to their Ji family had to be polite and didn't even dare to speak loudly. However, these people in front of them actually broke in so rudely and recklessly. It was simply unreasonable!

What do these people think of their Ji family? Do they still have themselves in their eyes? !

"Grandpa, he is Wu Fan! He beat me, Grandpa, you have to take charge!"

Just when Ji Pei was angry at these people forcing their way in, Ji Hao, who was lying on the ground, pointed at one of them and shouted angrily.

Wu Fan?

Ji Pei was slightly stunned and looked at the young man pointed by his grandson.

He is Wu Fan?

Although Ji Pei had heard of Wu Fan's name before, he had never seen Wu Fan. This was the first time he saw Wu Fan.

"You little bastard, you actually beat my son, I will tear you apart!" At this time, Ji Hao's mother, who was eager to protect her son, had already roared and rushed towards Wu Fan with a ferocious expression.

Wu Fan grabbed the other party with one hand, and then pushed gently, and Ji Hao's mother stumbled back. If it weren't for Ji Hao's father supporting her, she would probably have fallen to the ground.

"You dare to push me?" After Ji Hao's mother stabilized her body, she looked at Wu Fan in disbelief and said, "I will fight you!"

What is the status of their Ji family in Qingyuan County? Whoever saw them had to be polite. Wu Fan was so bold that he first injured her son and now pushed her. She had never encountered such a thing before, and she was immediately furious.

"Enough!" Ji Pei yelled, "Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Ji Pei's son quickly pulled his wife, and the couple glared at Wu Fan, but did not chase him again.

"Are you Wu Fan, Viscount Wu?" Ji Pei looked at Wu Fan with a cold face.

"Yes, I am Wu Fan." Wu Fan replied indifferently.

"Haha, Lord Viscount is so powerful." Ji Pei sneered, "First, you beat my grandson so miserably, and now you bring people to break into my Ji family. Lord Viscount is really majestic and arrogant! Do you really think that our Ji family is easy to bully?"

"I don't know whether the Ji family is easy to bully, and I don't intend to bully the Ji family. I do this just according to the rules." Wu Fan said coldly.

"You beat my grandson and broke into my Ji's house. What kind of rules did Lord Wu follow?"

"Your grandson Ji Hao neglected his duty and gathered people to drink during his duty. Should he be beaten?" Wu Fan said coldly.

"You are taking this opportunity to take revenge! Even if my son did something wrong, can't you just say a few words?" Ji Hao's father said first.

As for Ji Pei, he looked at Wu Fan coldly and did not speak.

"Just say a few words? Then what rules are there in the army? If your son deserts one day, will you just say a few words?" Wu Fan sneered.

"You crude warrior! My son will not go to the battlefield, let alone be a deserter. Only crude warriors like you go to the battlefield!" Ji Hao's mother mocked.

After Ji Hao knew Wu Fan's identity, he mocked Wu Fan and had no respect for him. Obviously, he had such an opinion of Wu Fan, which must have been influenced by his family. Therefore, Wu Fan was not surprised to see Ji Hao's mother despise him so much.

"If there were no crude warriors like us in your mouth, could you still enjoy a wealthy life here safely? And live in such a big house? Qingyuan County would have been breached long ago!" Wu Fan said.

"You crude people should go to the battlefield. This is what you should do." Ji Hao's mother said.

"Mr. Ji, your family education doesn't seem to be very good. What do you think will happen if the soldiers in the city hear what she said just now?" Wu Fan looked at Ji Pei and smiled faintly.

"Say less!" Ji Pei's face changed, and he scolded his daughter-in-law. Although in his heart, he also looked down on soldiers, but in this world, if they offended soldiers, their Ji family would not be in a good situation.

After scolding his daughter-in-law, Ji Pei turned his eyes to Wu Fan again and said coldly: "What rules did you follow to break into our Ji Mansion? You are so reckless, you think I am easy to bully after retiring, right?"

"Why did you break into your Ji Mansion?" Wu Fan smiled faintly, and his smile gradually turned cold. He turned his head and looked at Ji Hao who was lying on the ground watching the show and said: "Then I have to ask you, my good grandson!"
