Chapter 64: Kneel down (plus more)

After coming out of Ruyi, Xu Zhizhi went straight to the town guard's mansion.

At this time, in front of the town guard's mansion, there were already several layers of melon-eating people.

Everyone was in full swing talking about the death of the first female overlord in Ping'an Town.

Every one of them is quite a head.

Xu Zhizhi didn't have the mood to listen carefully, she walked through the crowd and went straight to the court.

At present, one person pointed at her and angrily reprimanded: "Who are you? even broke into the court privately, and didn't hurry back. ”

Xu Zhizhi ignored it, but stepped forward directly, and glanced at the three Yu Tang who were kneeling on the ground, frowning slightly.

She looked at the town guard sitting at the case-solving table, a middle-aged fat aunt with squinting eyes.

And the one who just scolded her angrily was a thin old woman.

Seeing that Xu Zhizhi didn't speak, this person continued to shout:

"Boldly Diao Min, don't you kneel down quickly when you see the town guard?"

Xu Zhizhi glanced up at her, and his eyes were cold.

The thin old woman only felt a cold wind blowing in her face, which made her shiver and cold from head to toe.

She looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared in disbelief, and was speechless for a moment.

Halfway through the questioning, the town guard was interrupted and a little displeased.

But after all, she has been on duty for many years and is quite successful, so she just looked at Xu Zhizhi and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

Xu Zhizhi stood up straight, then made a standard salute to the town guard, and replied:

"The little girl Xu Zhizhi is a person from Baishui Town, and she passed through here on the way to Beijing to catch the exam."

After speaking, he paused, and glanced at the thin old woman coldly, "The little girl has a meritorious reputation, and it is inconvenient to give a big gift to the adult, please forgive me." ”

In Yanlai country, all those who have meritorious fame, except for the royal family, can see that officials do not kneel.

Besides, lifting people is not the lowest level of fame.

If you go one step further and participate in the palace examination after winning the tribute, you can lick your face and claim to be a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven.

Not to mention that he is a town guard without any official students, even if he sees the prime minister, Xu Zhizhi does not need to kneel.

It's a right she should have.

When the town guard on the opposite side heard this, he hurriedly got up from his seat, changed his previous displeasure, squinted his eyes and smiled and stepped forward to salute her: "It turned out to be Lord Xiaolian, Wu was disrespectful." ”

The elegant name of lifting people is filial piety.

After it was over, the other party glared at the thin old woman unhappily, "Why don't you go and sit for Xu Xiaolian." ”

The thin woman glanced at Xu Zhizhi with a shrunken gaze, and hurriedly moved her seat.

"You're welcome."

Xu Zhizhi helped Wu Zhenshou in vain, but he didn't shirk it too much, and accepted her salute stiffly.

After all, 'the phoenix power is not under the county'.

That is to say, the lowest level of magistrates delegated by the emperor is only at the county level.

Ping'an Town is just a small town surrounded by a few villages, and naturally there are no officials with grades to manage it, so this side of the town guard is actually elected by the squires, and there is no fame or official life.

Xu Zhizhi is dignified, and he can naturally afford his courtesy.

And the three Yu Tang, who were kneeling in the hall, stared at her with a look of surprise.

These three people, two of them are bandits who are not polite at all, and the rest is a canary who is pampered in the backyard, they have only heard of scholarly deeds, and they have never seen a real woman with merit and fame.

So when I saw such a turn of gods at first glance today, I opened my mouth wide and looked stunned.

And in Yu Tang's heart, there is still three points and a sense of pride and pride.
