This was because all the people on the second floor were left behind, and at least half of them were not qualified to leave.
"Shut up and behave yourself. If you're causing any trouble, come back to the yamen with me and you'll know for sure." The general snorted coldly.
But this guy was simply a changeable person. After scolding these young men of low status, he ran to Wu Yingxiong and Song Qian with a grin on his face.
"Gentlemen, why don't you go home?" he asked.
But the two of them snorted coldly at the same time.
"I'm here to have fun, why should I go back? Just do your thing and leave when you're done. Don't disturb my fun." Song Qian snorted coldly.
The general was speechless. He could only say that it was comfortable to have a good father, and he didn't even have to obey local laws.
Those officers and soldiers are still checking identities. Those with high identities will be safe, while those with low identities will be kept and taken back for punishment.
Almost all those who were left behind were dignitaries from other places. They did not dare to offend the local dignitaries, but they were not afraid of the dignitaries from other places because there was no hierarchy between the two sides, so if they offended them, they would be offended.
The investigation soon led to Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue. They are currently being treated with special attention by officers and soldiers because they were too heavy-handed and knocked down dozens of young masters. The extent of their injuries needs to be checked.
"Commander Sun, we can't let these two go. They have injured so many children of powerful people. If you don't give me an explanation, I will be in trouble." Manager Yun Fang came to the general and whispered.
The eyes of many people around were originally fixed on Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun, because they knew the severity of their attacks, at most they would only cause superficial injuries such as broken bones, and they would never use such heavy blows.
Moreover, they knocked down dozens of people in one breath, which means that the two people in front of them must be very skilled in martial arts.
---------------------------------
"Two gentlemen, please show your identity tokens." The officers and soldiers saw that the two people in front of them were unfamiliar, and they were definitely not the sons of local dignitaries. Their attitude was not so good.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue fell into deep thought.
"Aoxue, with our identities, it's fine for us to use them in front of a few people, but there are so many powerful children here, will it cause trouble if we use them?" Ye Liuyun asked worriedly.
But Lin Aoxue replied.
"Besides this thing, do we have other proof of identity? First of all, we certainly cannot use the Yunzong's identity token, and it seems that this is the only identity token we have in the secular world. Can you conjure up other ones out of thin air?" Lin Aoxue asked back.
Ye Liuyun was conflicted, but just when he was about to think of a solution, Lin Qingyou spoke up and reminded him.
"Kid, don't use any spells or methods here. There is a very strong aura of cultivators covering the entire Jianglin City. It should be some kind of formation to detect power. And I am still in Jianglin City and feel the aura of a cultivator in the Mystical Transformation Realm."
Lin Qingyou's words made Ye Liuyun's heart tighten. It would be difficult to use tricks here. No wonder the cultivators in Jianglin City were so honest. It turned out that there were cultivators affiliated with the court secretly in charge.
"Aoxue, Master said that there is a powerful cultivator in Jianglin City. Do you know this?" Ye Liuyun said in a voice transmission.
Lin Aoxue responded immediately.
"That's normal. My master also told me not to use the power of cultivators to hurt people in Jianglin City. There are strong people watching. Once we use the power of cultivators to hurt people, the imperial court agencies that specialize in dealing with cultivators will immediately deal with us."
After hearing this, Ye Liuyun was at a loss.
"In that case, we can only use this identity token again. We are not using our real appearance anyway." Ye Liuyun nodded.
It seemed like the two of them communicated with their spiritual consciousness for a long time, but in fact it was just a matter of a moment.
"Sir over there, can you please have a word with me?" Ye Liuyun called out.
Commander Sun was stunned, then walked over in confusion.
"What can I do for you, gentlemen? I have official business to attend to. If it's nothing serious, please don't embarrass me." Commander Sun said righteously.
Ye Liuyun was about to roll her eyes. She signaled to Lin Aoxue, who immediately stretched out her hand from her sleeve and showed the royal identity token to Commander Sun.
When Commander Sun saw the exquisite token, his face changed instantly, his whole body trembled, and his legs became weak. To be more precise, he almost knelt down.
"Calm down, we don't want to cause trouble, you know what I mean." Lin Aoxue reminded coldly.
Commander Sun's face was covered in cold sweat. Those who had this kind of token were at least the descendants of hereditary princes, or princes and princesses of the royal family.
This is not something that ordinary royal family members can possess.
A member of the royal family came to Jiangzhou Prefecture, but there was no news at all. This was very scary news.
"Eh? I, your humble servant, understand. Please do as you please." Commander Sun nodded, then angrily shouted at the officers and soldiers around him.
"You, put down your weapons. Who told you to point at these two young masters? And you, fighting in an important place managed by the government, is a provocation to the majesty of the court. No one is allowed to leave. Follow me back to the yamen." Commander Sun originally wanted to let them go, but suddenly he changed his mind.
Those young masters who were originally safe were stunned again for a moment. They didn't know what was wrong with Commander Sun and why he suddenly changed his face.
"Take them all away." Commander Sun ordered.
As soon as he gave the order, the officers and soldiers once again surrounded everyone, including Wu Yingxiong and others.
"Hey? Sun Gan, are you out of your mind? You want to arrest me? Don't you want to be the guards of Fang Palace anymore?" Song Qian shouted angrily.
But this guy named Sun Gan no longer cares about his official position, because there is a royal family here. If he dares to abuse his power for personal gain, it will not just be a matter of losing his job.
He would rather offend these powerful children and lose his job than offend the royal family. Of course, all this is just his own idea.
"Shut up and take me away." Sun Gan snorted coldly.
Just like that, under the drive of the officers and soldiers, all the people on the second floor were taken away in one breath.
"Eh? Then why don't you take them two away? Sun Gan, you're done." Wu Yingxiong looked at Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue who were standing there unattended, and shouted angrily in disbelief.
But Sun Gan didn't want to listen to Wu Yingxiong's nonsense.
"This? Commander Sun, we can't do this." Yun Fang's face also changed, because if they did this they would offend too many people.
But Sun Gan still ignored them, and soon only the guards, the confused girls, and Ye Liuyun were left on the second floor.
They could see that Sun Gan's expression suddenly changed after he had confirmed the identities of the two people in front of him. This showed that the two people in front of him were very powerful, so powerful that Sun Gan had to enforce the law impartially.
"Eh? Aoxue, didn't this guy understand what we meant? This? Didn't we tell him not to reveal our identities?" Ye Liuyun was confused when he saw the empty second floor.
"Oh! I guess they are afraid. After all, this is the royal order. The royal family is the masters of this country. If they act in favoritism and corruption in front of the royal family, isn't it equivalent to telling the court? After all, the royal family can talk directly to the emperor." Lin Aoxue said.
Ye Liuyun thought about it and agreed. Sun Gan changed his attitude because he was afraid of being held accountable by the court. Once the court directly held him accountable, it would not be as simple as dismissal from office.
They are not these young masters, they are all real officials appointed by the court.
"Well, ladies, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Since no one is coming, forget it. We'll leave too." Ye Liuyun said awkwardly to the confused women.
After saying that, they hurried towards the upper and lower entrances.
"Are we going back directly?" Ye Liuyun asked after arriving at the entrance.
But Lin Aoxue shook her head.
"It's only been a short time, are we going back now?" Lin Aoxue said.
Ye Liuyun understood what Lin Aoxue meant, so he went straight to the third floor. The guard on the third floor quickly made way for him without even asking for money.
"Eh? You two, doesn't it cost money to go to the third floor?" Ye Liuyun asked.
These two men saw that all the young masters were taken away, but these two were the only ones who stayed. This meant that these two people were very powerful and they dared not take their money.
"This, this, this..." The two didn't know how to start.
But Lin Aoxue directly threw six taels of silver into the box next to her and went upstairs.
As for Sun Gan.
"Commander Sun, you can't just arrest everyone like this. Did you take the wrong medicine?" Yun Fang couldn't help but swear when she saw that Sun Gan didn't listen to her advice at all.
But Sun Gan didn't have the heart to argue with her at this moment.
"Shut up, this matter is not what you think. Do you know the identities of those two people above?" Sun Gan asked with a serious expression.
But Yunfang definitely doesn’t know him.
"A strange face, I've never seen him before. Could he be from a powerful family?" Yun Fang's heart skipped a beat.
"Big? It can't even be described as a headache. I can't tell you directly, so you can guess it yourself." Sun Gan led his men out of the Qunfang Palace.
These young masters are now famous. After all, it is too embarrassing to have so many people being oppressed by the officials and soldiers.
Manager Yunfang just stood in a daze at the entrance of the Qunfang Palace. She was thinking about what Sun Gan said. It was obvious that Sun Gan's attitude changed drastically after he saw the other party's identity.
The person who made Sun Gan not completely disregard the status of these powerful people, and his background cannot be described as noble. Manager Yunfang is not an idiot, she quickly understood.
"This? No way? It's fatal." Manager Yunfang quickly thought of it and ran back to the Qunfang Palace in a hurry.
She went to the second floor and immediately asked the guards.
"Where are the people? Where did those two young masters go?" Manager Yunfang asked anxiously.
The guard knew that the two men must be important people, so he pointed to the third floor.
Manager Yunfang hurried to the third floor again. Such an important person had come. If she wasn't treated well, do you think she would be afraid?
Chapter 243 Poetry Battle (6000 words)
After arriving on the third floor, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's horizons were broadened.
What does the third floor feel like?
There is a strong scent of books, and most importantly, there are many female guests on this floor.
Moreover, most of the aura of the monks that they had felt before was also emitted from this floor.
"Hey? Aoxue, look, that's not Li Jianxin, oh no, it's Senior Sister Yunxin now." Ye Liuyun glanced around and soon saw Yunxin behind a screen. Yunxin was sitting with a group of young men and women. This group of young men and women seemed to be playing a game of composing poems on given topics.
There are several areas on the third floor, including poetry, painting, chess, and riddles, all of which are entertainment related to literati.
This place is much more harmonious than the first and second floors. Several areas are separated by translucent screens. Although the distance is relatively close, they do not interfere with each other.
"And Song Shuwen and the others, they are all here. I also have people from the other four lower-level sects." Lin Aoxue glanced around and found that there were dozens of disciples from the four lower-level sects gathered here, both men and women.
"These guys seem to be enjoying themselves. Aoxue, the two identities we just used are no longer usable. Let's change to another one. You see there are quite a lot of women dressed in men's clothes among them. Let's do the same." Ye Liuyun suggested.
Lin Aoxue nodded, and the two of them looked around and found an empty corner and walked over. When they came out again, they had changed back to their original appearance, but they were still dressed as men.
Just looking at their appearance, even if they were dressed in men's clothes, people would probably still recognize them as women at a glance. After all, they are too good-looking to dress up as men.
Besides, they hadn't thought about pretending to be men this time.
"You guy, are you used to being a woman? Why don't you change to a male identity but change back to a woman?" Lin Aoxue complained.
Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly.
"Hehe, I have to admit that after using the image of a woman for a long time, it seems that I don't have any particular desire for the identity of a man anymore." Ye Liuyun replied with a sigh.
In fact, she did not lose the desire for her male identity, but she accepted her fate. So many years have passed and she can't change back. What else can she do?
Lin Aoxue sighed softly. She could understand Ye Liuyun. After all, human habits were a terrible thing.
"Let's go, where do you want to go?" Lin Aoxue did not continue to discuss this issue.
Ye Liuyun looked around and pointed to the poetry section, because that was where the most people were.
The two walked towards the poetry and lyrics writing area, and there were still guards at the door.
"Eh? Gentlemen, are you here to watch or to participate?" The guard at the door was stunned for a moment when he saw the two people walking over.
There's no way. Although the two people in men's clothing have restrained their temperament and looks a lot, they are still eye-catching.
However, these people are probably used to women coming here, so they tend to ignore the fact that the other party is actually a woman and just treat them as men.
"I don't know what the difference is." Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.
The guard quickly explained.
"Sir, if you want to watch other guests' poetry battles, you need to pay 50 taels of silver to enter this place. If you want to participate in the poetry battle, you need to pay 100 taels of silver." The guard explained.
After hearing this, Ye Liuyun was stunned again. This place was no longer something that ordinary petty bourgeoisie guests could afford. One tael of silver was enough for ordinary people to use for a month.
But it's normal. In this era, elegance is always the highest level of entertainment. However, only the children of wealthy families can participate in this kind of entertainment. Ordinary people are basically not qualified because studying costs money. Ordinary people are lucky enough to have enough food to eat, and it is basically impossible for them to spend money on studying.
"Oh, give me 200 taels." After listening to this, Lin Aoxue directly threw two taels of gold to the guard. In this world, one tael of gold is equal to one hundred taels of silver, and one hundred copper coins are equal to one tael of silver.
The guard was stunned when he saw Lin Aoxue paying directly with gold, but then he quickly and politely invited Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue in.
There are nearly a thousand people here. The participants sit in the middle area, and the spectators sit around. In the poetry battle, the dealer sets the questions and then lets the girls from the Qunfang Hall compete with the guests. So the positions here are that the girls sit on the right, the guests sit on the left, and the dealer is in the middle.
Here, there are more than one hundred beautiful and quiet girls sitting, and opposite them are nearly three hundred participants, and there are also hundreds of onlookers.
This game is actually also a gambling game. The dealer sets the questions, and the guests and girls write poems and lyrics on paper according to the questions, and then compete against each other. Both sides can choose the person they want to challenge, and then the guests place bets on which side will win.
The two opposing parties can also place bets with the other party based on the poems they have written. If you feel that your poems are not good, then give up. If you feel confident, then add money. If the party against you loses, then all the money he bet will go to the winner.
The guard on the way had already explained the rules, and also brought a table and cushions and placed them next to Lan Fangwei.
When everyone saw another guest coming, they all turned their eyes over. Many people's eyes lit up. There might be real women here, but most of them were transformed from men.
