Last night, Celestial Master Zhang got drenched in the rain outside the city, his clothes completely soaked. He was full of anger and could no longer hold it in. Stepping forward, he slapped the guard across the face and scolded, "As soon as I return to the Capital, the first thing I'll do is chop off your head for your reckless behavior. How dare you fabricate Imperial court regulations? What nerve you have."
The guard was utterly stunned. In his wildest dreams, he never imagined that a beggar would dare to hit him.
"You filthy beggar, tired of living, aren't you? How dare you hit me?" The guard was infuriated.
Don't mind that he's just a mere gate guard; he's still considered an official.
The commoners were all afraid of them, and each time they saw them, they would bow and scrape. Over time, some guards began to see themselves as masters, believing that in front of the commoners, they were the masters and deserved their respectful treatment.
