Chapter 148 147 Pork guy Fan Kuai!
While wandering around Peixian County, Ji Chen and his three apprentices were attracted by the sound of an exciting storyteller.

They followed the sound and found an antique teahouse.A wooden plaque hangs at the door of the teahouse, with the three characters "Tingyuxuan" engraved in lacquered gold on it, which looks elegant and simple.

As soon as you enter the teahouse, a light aroma of tea and wood hits you, making you feel relaxed and happy.

There are some simple but antique-style tables and chairs in the teahouse, and some ink paintings are hung on the walls. The mountains and rivers in the paintings are shrouded in mist, giving it a secluded beauty.The teahouse was filled with people of all kinds, drinking tea alone or gathering in small groups to listen to the storyteller in the center.

The storyteller is old and his hair is gray, but his eyes are still bright.Wearing a blue robe and holding a wooden clapper in his hand, he was narrating the legendary deeds of the immortal master Ji Chen in classical Chinese in an impassioned tone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we will tell you a heroic story about the immortal master Ji Chen." The storyteller's voice echoed in the teahouse.

"In the past, there was an immortal master, Ji Chen, who had great magical powers, was good at magic, taught immortal ways, and recruited many disciples. Among them, there were two men, Meng Tian and Meng Yi. Because of their extraordinary talents, they were spotted by Master Ji Chen and accepted as disciples."

Ji Chen couldn't help but smile as he listened to the storyteller's narration, while his disciples whispered among themselves excitedly, obviously very novel about such a legendary story.

A Liang whispered to Ji Chen: "Master, are all the deeds told by this storyteller really done by you?"

Ji Chen responded: "The stories are always a little exaggerated, but the overall plot is good."

The audience in the teahouse paid close attention to the storyteller's story, and from time to time they made sounds of wonder or appreciation. The storyteller's narration was vivid and vivid, making the image of the immortal master Ji Chen come alive in everyone's heart.

Wu Guang asked softly: "Master, will these stories cause more people to misunderstand the immortal way?"

Ji Chen smiled and said: "Stories are always exaggerated, but they can also inspire people to pursue higher ideals. It is important that we ourselves know the boundaries between truth and fiction."

Dong'er listened to the storyteller's words, her eyes filled with curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.She said softly: "Master, I also hope to become a legend among people like you one day."

Ji Chen looked at her with a flash of approval in his eyes: "As long as you study hard and practice hard, you will definitely be able to accomplish something in the future."

The voice of the storyteller echoed in the teahouse: "In the past, the immortal master Ji Chen traveled across the land of China, carrying with him his profound immortal magic and extensive knowledge. One day, Ji Chen went to a small village and saw that the people in the village were suffering from drought, and he was heartbroken. Compassion.”

"Immortal Master Ji Chen stood with his sleeves fluttering, holding a staff and murmuring words. In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky, thunder rumbled, and drizzle fell slowly like silk, moistening the dry land. When the villagers saw this scene, they were astonished. They all knelt down and thanked Immortal Master Ji Chen for his kindness."

The audience in the teahouse listened fascinated and nodded in praise from time to time.

The storyteller continued: "Master Ji Chen is not only proficient in immortal magic, but also has a compassionate heart. He not only saved the villagers, but also taught agricultural and medical skills in the village, making the villagers' lives more stable from now on."

"Among the legends of Master Ji Chen, the most touching one is the story of his apprenticeship. When Ji Chen traveled to a remote mountain village, he met two extremely intelligent young men named Meng Tian and Meng Yi. This young man is smart and has a strong interest in immortal magic."

"Ji Chen saw their talents and intelligence, so he decided to accept them as his disciples. From then on, Meng Tian and Meng Yi followed Ji Chen to learn immortal magic and medical skills. Under Ji Chen's careful guidance, the two gradually grew into leaders in the immortal world .”

The audience was attentive, as if they themselves were in that legendary era.

The storyteller narrated with great emotion: "Immortal Master Ji Chen did not only perform his magic in one place. He walked all over the country, leaving traces of his magic in mountains, deep valleys, rivers and lakes. Wherever he went We always solve local problems and help people in need.”

"Once, Ji Chen came to a big city called Chang'an. The city was suffering from thieves and the people were living in dire straits. When Ji Chen saw this, he decided to get rid of the evil for the people. He changed his spells and outsmarted the thieves, and finally made him Chang'an City has returned to its former peace."

The audience listened intently, and some even forgot to drink the tea in their hands.

"There are many more stories about Immortal Master Ji Chen, each of which is a feat that is shocking and makes ghosts and gods cry. But he never takes credit. Every time he helps others, he always leaves silently and continues his journey to immortality."

After saying these words, the storyteller slowly closed the book in his hand and took a deep look at the audience in the teahouse.

"The legendary story of Master Ji Chen is not only a superposition of magic and feats, but also an inspiration to the kindness and justice in each of us. His story tells us that no matter what situation we are in, we should be kind-hearted Treat others with justice.”

The audience was immersed in the storyteller's words, as if through his narration, they could also feel the warmth and light of those legends.

After the storytelling ended, the teahouse burst into warm applause.

They listened to the whole story quietly in the teahouse, and then stood up slowly. Ji Chen smiled and threw a silver coin to the storyteller as a thank you gift.

Ji Chen and his disciples were in a happy mood when they left the teahouse.

After the teahouse, Ji Chen and his apprentices were about to continue their wandering when they were suddenly interrupted by a burst of noise, which came from a nearby street corner. It seemed like someone was arguing.

"Master, there seems to be some commotion over there, let's go take a look?" Alian said curiously.

Ji Chen smiled slightly, "Well, it's always fun to go see the excitement."

They walked in the direction of the sound and soon came to a lively market. There was a pig-killing stall in the center of the market. The stall was surrounded by spectators, and everyone was watching what happened at the stall.

The owner of the pig-killing stall was a burly man named Fan Kuai. He was wearing a blue cloth stained with blood. The muscles on his arms swelled with his movements, making him look very strong.

There was some sweat and blood on his face and he looked quite rough.

"I obviously gave you money, why didn't you give me change?" a thin customer asked angrily.

Fan Kuai responded displeasedly, "I've already found it for you. It's your business to keep it secret."

"You are robbing money! I will sue the government!" the customer said angrily.

The argument between Fan Kuai and the customer became more and more intense, and the crowd of onlookers gathered more and more.

"I'm telling you, I've already asked you for some silver! Don't try to lie here!" Fan Kuai's voice became louder and louder, and his fingers almost touched the tip of the customer's nose.

The customer seemed extremely excited and said in a sharp voice: "How could I defraud you of your silver? I gave you a whole piece of silver, but you only got back a few cents. Where is my remaining silver?"

The people watching began to whisper and discuss their opinions.

Some people think that Fan Kuai, as an old local face with a bold personality, is unlikely to take advantage of this.But some people think that Fan Kuai is a businessman after all, and sometimes he may do some outrageous things for the sake of profit.

Fan Kuai pointed at the customer angrily: "I, Fan Kuai, have been running a stall in Peixian County for so many years, and I have never done anything wrong. It is unreasonable for you, a foreigner, to come here and accuse me!"

The customer was not to be outdone: "Although I am a foreigner, I also know that justice is in the heart of the people. I was really overcharged by you. I can't just suffer the loss like this!"

Fan Kuai's face turned livid and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you continue to refuse to admit your mistake, I will call the government to deal with it!"

The customer was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Go and call the government, I'm going to sue you for fraud!"

At this time, Ji Chen walked between them and tried to calm down the dispute: "You two, please calm down first. There is no need for us to make trouble over such a trivial matter."

Fan Kuai looked at Ji Chen and softened his tone slightly: "Brother, you have also seen that I don't want to quarrel with him, but he insists on framing me." The customer hurriedly explained to Ji Chen: "Hero , I was indeed overcharged by him, I am not framed by him."

Ji Chen pondered for a moment and proposed a solution: "We can ask nearby traders to testify and see if they remember your transactions."

Fan Kuai and the customer both nodded and agreed to the proposal.

So Ji Chen and several onlookers went to inquire about nearby vendors.But because there were so many people coming and going around Fan Kuai's stall, no one could remember exactly the details of the transaction.

Back at the stall, when Ji Chen was about to continue mediating, suddenly a strong man strode over and headed straight for Fan Kuai's stall with a fierce look on his face.

"Fan Kuai, give me brother change, otherwise I will teach you a lesson here today!" roared the strong man, who was obviously the customer's friend.

When Fan Kuai saw this, his face darkened, he picked up a kitchen knife placed on the stall and glared at the strong man, "Are you looking for trouble? Am I, Fan Kuai, someone who is easy to bully?"

Not to be outdone, the strong man stepped forward, "I don't believe you dare to take action! Today I want to seek justice for my brother!"

The customer quickly grabbed his friend and said, "Don't do this, it will only make things worse."

But the strong man was obviously irritated. He pushed away the customer and glared at Fan Kuai, "Don't think I dare! I have to make you spit it out today!"

The crowd of onlookers began to talk a lot. Some people were worried that violent conflicts would occur, while others were excitedly waiting for dramatic developments.

Ji Chen saw the situation becoming increasingly tense and knew he had to act quickly to quell the conflict.He stepped between the two of them and stretched out his hands to signal everyone to calm down.

"Everyone, violence is not the way to solve problems." Ji Chen's voice was calm but full of authority.

Fan Kuai's hand holding the kitchen knife trembled a little. He said to Ji Chen: "They bully people too much, how can I bear it!"

The strong man looked at Ji Chen mockingly, "Who are you? Why do you come here to act like you are righteous?"

Ji Chen said calmly: "I'm just a passerby. But I know that no matter how complicated the problem is, violence is never the solution. Why don't we find a more reasonable way to resolve the dispute?"

The customer also joined the conversation at this point, "Yeah, we all don't want things to get worse. If there's a better solution, we're all willing to try it."

The strong man snorted coldly, but did not continue to provoke. Instead, he stood aside with dissatisfaction and anger in his eyes.

Ji Chen turned to Fan Kuai and said, "Fan Kuai, are you willing to think about it again? Maybe there is a misunderstanding?"

Fan Kuai looked a little shaken. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally sighed, "Okay, if I think about it again, maybe I remembered it wrong. But I really don't remember charging him more money."

Fan Kuai calmed down a little under Ji Chen's mediation, but he still insisted on his position: "I remember very clearly that I definitely asked him for money. I have been doing business for so many years and I have never made such a mistake."

The customer nervously retorted: "No, you didn't give me change at all. You were blatantly lying!"

The quarrel between the two heated up again, and the surrounding onlookers also began to talk. Some supported Fan Kuai, while others believed that the customer was telling the truth.

Just as the argument was intensifying, several government officials suddenly walked over quickly.

They were wearing government uniforms, with iron tokens around their waists, and serious expressions on their faces.

One of the leading government officials was a tall man with a resolute face. He walked to the middle of the crowd and announced loudly: "Quiet, everyone! What kind of place is this? How dare you cause trouble in the streets!"

The crowd of onlookers immediately fell silent, and the arrival of the government officials obviously made everyone a little afraid.

Fan Kuai and the customer also stopped arguing. The yamen officer walked directly towards Fan Kuai and said in a cold tone: "Fan Kuai, you know what you are doing. Now come with us."

Fan Kuai looked stunned: "What did you say? This is a misunderstanding!"

When the customer saw that the yamen officer was about to take Fan Kuai away, he hurriedly said: "No, sir yamen servant, we are just arguing about the change."

The Yamen servant interrupted him impatiently: "An argument is an argument, but you guys have disturbed the public order by making noise on the street. Fan Kuai, please come with us first. We can wait until the Yamen to discuss other matters."

Ji Chen saw this and stepped forward to explain: "Master Yamen, there is indeed a misunderstanding here, and I am trying to help them resolve it. Please give us some time, and I promise to handle this matter properly."

The yamen officer looked at Ji Chen and hesitated slightly, but still shook his head: "This is no longer just a matter between the two of them, it affects public order. In any case, Fan Kuai must come with us first."

Fan Kuai looked at Ji Chen with a look of help in his eyes.

Ji Chen sighed and said to Fan Kuai: "Fan Kuai, you can go with them for now. I will go to the Yamen to explain it clearly to you."

Fan Kuai nodded helplessly and followed the yamen servant out of the scene.

The customer watched Fan Kuai being taken away with a complicated expression on his face. He turned to Ji Chen and said, "Thank you for your help just now. I really didn't expect things to turn out like this."

When Fan Kuai was taken away by the yamen, the grievance and anger in his heart accumulated like a tide. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had been treated unfairly. He suddenly became furious and pushed the yamen beside him violently.

"I did nothing wrong! You are going too far!" Fan Kuai roared, his face turning red with anger.

The government officials were caught off guard by Fan Kuai's sudden counterattack. After the leading government official regained his balance, his face turned livid and he said sternly: "Fan Kuai, you are resisting the government, and you will be punished even more!"

The government officials reacted quickly and surrounded Fan Kuai, trying to control him. However, Fan Kuai was so strong that the officials were helpless for a while.

Fan Kuai waved his arms and resisted desperately, "I am innocent! You are wronging a good person!"

The crowd of onlookers retreated to avoid being involved in the chaos. Some people screamed and some sighed. The scene was very chaotic for a time.

When Ji Chen saw this, he immediately stepped forward and tried to calm down the melee: "Fan Kuai! Calm down! Violence cannot solve the problem!"

The customer also shouted: "Brother Fan Kuai, you will only make things worse!"

But Fan Kuai has been completely controlled by anger, and there is only determination to fight in his eyes.

The government officials began to fight back. One of the government officials holding a wooden stick tried to subdue Fan Kuai with a stick, but Fan Kuai relied on his strong physical strength to resist their attack for a time.

"You government bastards! I, Fan Kuai, will fight with you today!" Fan Kuai roared angrily, pumping out his fists constantly, trying to break away from the siege of the government officials.
