Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

Chapter 142 Level 3

The two protectors of the Tiger Clan have devoted their efforts to the security of Sanzi Prefecture.

The next day, successors were found for the two princes.

Li Guangshan, the eldest son of the King of Donghai of the Tang Dynasty.

He was having fun in a brothel. The drunk Li Guangshan became lustful towards a prostitute who only sold her art but not her body.

Li Guangshan ordered the guards to injure the brothel's madam, and several guards forcibly abducted the prostitutes.

Li Guangshan, who was robbing a girl from a brothel, was caught red-handed by two tiger tribe protectors who were patrolling the streets.

The two protectors were overjoyed.

"The prince is finally saved."

In an instant, the two of them tied up Li Guangshan and his men tightly and escorted them to the provincial government office very responsibly.

The provincial governor who was on duty at the provincial government office commended the two protectors for their dedication.

The first thing he did was to appease the prostitute and her family, and then according to the procedure, Li Guangshan had to go to Zhangbei Street for the exhibition.

That night, the news that Li Guangshan was arrested for causing trouble reached Li Tai, the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Tai, who was entertaining scholars at a banquet, exploded on the spot.

I shouldn't have brought such a useless cousin here in the first place.

Li Tai immediately apologized to all the scholars, rushed to the provincial government office overnight, lowered his posture, and pleaded with the provincial governor.

He also said that he would discipline him strictly when he returned and would never let him cause trouble again.

The provincial chancellor, who was involved in officialdom, directly put the blame on the provincial governor, Wang Changxun, and said that the punishment was decided by the provincial governor.

The governor has the imperial edict in his hand, and I, a small governor, can only follow his orders.

Li Tai was already annoyed enough for putting his face aside and pleading for mercy from a second-rate provincial governor, but he didn't expect to be rejected.

At this moment, Li Tai wanted to kill Li Guangshan.

When Li Tai arrived at Wang Changxun's house, he was mentally prepared.

As long as Li Guangshan is not tied up and exhibited on Zhangbei Street, he can accept any punishment.

However, the housekeeper told Li Tai that Lord Wang had been overworked recently and had already rested.

Li Tai was numb, and the one who had the final say went to sleep. What should I do? I can't just force my way in.

The guard at the side looked at the anxious and sad Li Tai, stepped forward and whispered.

"Your Highness, why don't we go to the prison and think of a solution?"

Li Tai, who was on the verge of exploding, could no longer bear it. He turned around and grabbed the guard's neck with one hand.

"Stupid, put away your stupid idea. If we dare to make any unusual moves, we won't even be able to leave Sanzizhou."

The guards were frightened by the furious Li Tai. This prince, who was usually gentle and easy-going, was so terrifying when he got angry.

Li Tai looked at the frightened guards and slowly loosened his grip.

He clenched his trembling right hand into a fist, unclenched it, clenched it again, and unclenched it again...forcing himself to calm down.

"Go to the state government office~"

As soon as Li Tai finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the provincial government without even getting in the carriage.

The few guards who reacted tried their best to catch up with Li Tai.

——Early in the morning of the next day, the people of Sanzi Prefecture and outsiders discovered that someone had changed in the middle of Zhangbei Street.

A young man with a bruised face and nose, whose appearance was almost unrecognizable, was tied up there.

Many scholars from various schools of thought and people from noble families looked at the wooden plaque displayed on the chests of the public.

My evaluation of the Tang prince Li Tai was elevated to a new level.

Last night, Li Tai met the provincial governor again with an attitude of admitting his mistake, and made it clear that Li Guangshan should be punished and put on display in public.

At the same time, as Li Guangshan's cousin, he was at fault for not supervising him closely.

Li Tai was willing to personally tie Li Guangshan to the street as a punishment for his violation of the Sanzi Prefecture's decree.

In addition, he also had to teach Li Guangshan a lesson personally, which was his responsibility as an elder brother.

Today's Li Guangshan is the Li Guangshan who has been "educated" by Li Tai.

He had lost several teeth and couldn't even speak.

The wooden plaque hanging on his chest clearly stated the crimes he and Li Tai had committed.

The criminal Li Guangshan stayed in a brothel at night, raped women, and injured several people.

The sinner Li Tai failed to fulfill his responsibilities as an elder brother and allowed Li Guangshan to do evil.

I have already arrived at the government office of Sanzi Prefecture to receive twenty strokes of the cane, and the prefectural magistrate will personally carry out the execution.

Today, Li Tai's residence in Sanzi Prefecture was crowded with people who came to visit him.

Governor Wang Changxun and General Qu Lei of Weidong also came in person to express their condolences.

For a time, Li Tai's popularity began to soar, almost overshadowing the Taoist Ma Zhan.

At the same time, the news of Li Tai being punished in Sanzi Prefecture was immediately reported back to the Tang Kingdom.

——For ten days, unlike the bustling Sanzi Prefecture, Ma Zhan stayed in the Duke of Qi's mansion.

Perhaps for protection reasons, Ma Zhan never saw anyone else except Wang Changxun.

The day for the third stage of the discussion has arrived. In order to send Ma Zhan to the discussion, Ma Zhongtong and Jing Tailan specially prepared a luxurious carriage.

Ma Zhan is treated as a protected animal and it is difficult for him to even show up.

The bustle at the entrance of Jixia Academy today is comparable to that of Zhangbei Street.

Many temporary sheds were erected on both sides of the road. Scholars from various schools and representatives of various forces were no longer satisfied with waiting for the summons.

They went straight to the first scene.

However, those who want to catch a glimpse of the Taoist's face will be disappointed.

The carriage did not stop at the gate of Jixia Academy. Kou Ping directly acted as the coachman and drove the carriage all the way into Jixia Academy.

Ma Zhan was in the carriage, thinking about the third level.

Among the nine disciples of the Jixia Academy's chief academic officer, five are not in the academy.

In other words, there is no choice in the third level, only those four.

Agriculture, business, chess, training, calculation, painting, speaking, martial arts, and law.

Among the nine gentlemen, only Agriculture, Chess, Math and Martial Arts are still in the academy. Ma Zhan has already made all the preparations he can, and the others can leave it to fate.

The carriage arrived at the foot of Zhushan Mountain inside the Jixia Academy. After Ma Zhan got off the carriage, he walked alone on the stone-paved mountain road.

"Bamboo Mountain? I don't see a single bamboo."

After walking for a while on the mountain road, they saw a clear spring beside the road. Ma Zhan, who was hot and thirsty, plunged his head into the spring.

"Gulu, Guru."

The clear spiritual spring water makes people feel refreshed instantly.

Ma Zhan raised his head and panted and shouted: "Awesome~~"

"Those who discuss the Dao, kill me and pass the test."

"I'm going~"

Ma Zhan didn't notice just now that there was a fat young man sitting there fishing.

“Kill, kill you.

You are Mr. Eight?"

The fat man nodded slightly.

"Kill me by any means you can think of."

"Mr. Eight... Wu... is this your nature?"

Killing you, does it mean killing you in the true sense, or does it have other meanings?

“Whoosh… Boom…”

Ma Zhan, who was just wondering if there was any mystery, was flicked by Mr. Ba's index finger like a green bean and sank into the cliff.

Ma Zhan, who was hanging on the cliff, looked at Mr. Ba who was fishing with a confused mind.

Her right index finger casually extended in his direction: "Hesitation."

Ma Zhan felt like all the bones in his body were broken.

"What kind of move is this? Finger-snapping magic?"
