Chapter 289: The Unreasonable Dali Temple Secretary
But in many cases, being confident doesn't mean that you can take action. After all, the other party is a head catcher and an official. If you really hit them, it will be a slap in Da Gan's face. This is not something he can do as a guard. This kind of damage will be done to him. Even if Feng Xun was dissatisfied with his master's move to invite disaster, he could not do it.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Feng Xun took the initiative to step forward and support Xu Heng. Then he turned back and looked coldly at Wang Ben and others, and said to the hundreds of guards: "Look at them, master, don't let anyone go until the future." Walk."
There was a trace of anger in Feng Xun's voice, which made Wang Ben's heart tremble when he heard it. He had a feeling that this person was not easy to mess with. But his identity still made him have to He stood up, looked at Feng Xun and asked, "A certain person is Wang Ben, the head hunter of Dali Temple, but I don't know who you are? Why are you stopping us from handling the case?"
Wang Ben announced his family name and waited for Feng Xun to answer. After knowing the other party's identity, he could decide what to do next. But what he waited for was just a cold snort from Feng Xun, and then ignored him. He took Xu Heng outside the circle and came to the side of a hundred guards.
This kind of indifference made Wang Ben's face even more ugly. This feeling of being ignored must be uncomfortable for anyone, but now there are many people on the other side, and Feng Xun has no self-control. Under his identity, he really couldn't take action right away. This was a sign of inferiority in strength. He could take action against Guo Changlong's guards because there were only six of them, but now, he was obviously the weaker one. , if you take action, it is tantamount to asking for trouble.
"Brother." Wang Tong took advantage of this brief moment of peace to step forward and whispered to Wang Ben: "We have to find a way to rush out, otherwise the matter will get bigger and we will be unreasonable."
"Hey, brother, what are you doing?" Wang Ben wanted to say the good things you did, but since he was the brother who raised him, he did not say these cruel words in the end. He just nodded lightly, and then Looking towards the other side of the street, he had already sent out a messenger to report the news, so reinforcements must have arrived by now.
Looking at it, it was a coincidence that there were indeed more headhunters on the other side of the street, with some government officials among them. Behind the government officials, there was a group of hundreds of silver-armored guards, followed by a group of police officers. and rushed over.
There were so many people coming that the sound of footsteps attracted the attention of the onlookers, causing some timid people to scatter and run back to their houses without leaving the door. Only a few brave women stood in front of them. They were on the ground, but there was also a hint of fear in their expressions. If Feng Xun hadn't been standing here with hundreds of guards, it would have been doubtful whether they could have stood still like this.
It can be seen that the people are still very afraid of the officers and soldiers. But it is unclear whether this fear is because the officers and soldiers have the power to enforce the law, or because they are used to bullying the people.
As the visitor came closer, the purple official robe of the leader became clearer and clearer.
Seeing the person coming, Wang Ben couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. With Shangguan here, he finally had a backer and the pressure was not so great. Especially when he saw Shangguan was accompanied by Zheng Chu, who had always been on good terms with him. He also let go of his high-spirited attitude. With this person around, he will definitely speak for himself. He usually pays a lot of filial piety to this Shangguan. If something happens, he will always speak for himself.
Wang Ben didn't pay attention. When his brother Wang Tong saw Zheng Chu, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. No one except him knew that it was Zheng Chu who came to Baohua Street to smash Gong's loom this time. He gave him the task and gave him fifty taels of silver for it. Because of this, he was more convinced than his brother Wang Ben that Zheng Chu's arrival would definitely speak for him and absolve him of the crime.
A group of people were waiting across the street from afar, and soon appeared in front of the crowd. Immediately, a group of arresters and government officials surrounded Feng Xun and other hundreds of guards from the loyal government. Holding weapons in their hands, they shouted He scolded Feng Xun and others to put down the sticks in their hands, while trying to push them forward.
Hundreds of silver-armored guards stood further back holding long halberds. A large-scale armed fight occurred on Baohua Street. When the news came, Xiao Ke Qianhu, who was patrolling nearby, rushed over with his people. When he saw it, He breathed a sigh of relief when there was no fatal case.
The duty of the Silver Armored Guards is to protect the safety of Daliang City and prevent anyone from disturbing the public order in the city. Once someone wants to do harm to the city, as a city guard, if you don't care, you will have to bear certain responsibilities. As for any small-scale fighting that occurred in the city, that was not their responsibility.
Speaking of Xiao Ke, he was mentioned not long ago as Zheng Qianhu. He was originally just a deputy Qianhu. Because of his good performance in the former prince's rebellion case, he was recommended by Zhongcheng Hou Shen Yunyi to the Silver Armored General Shi Hongyun. , and then it was promoted to one level.
The one who came from the Silver Armor Guard was Xiao Ke Qianhu, and the one who came here from Dali Temple was the principal, a third-rank official of the imperial court, and the emperor's personally appointed minister of Dali Temple, Kang'an.
The reason why Kang An came here was precisely because of Zheng Chu's suggestion. It was only when he came that he realized that the reason why such a thing happened on Baohua Street was actually arranged by his subordinate Zheng Chu, and Zheng Chu was under the influence of It was done under the instruction of Shi Zitong.
Who is Shi Zitong?
That was a very trusted staff member of His Highness King Xiang. Even if Shi Zitong jumped out, it is inevitable to say that this matter has the shadow of His Highness King Xiang. If we consider this, he, His Highness King Xiang’s People also have to stand up and solve the problem by reducing the big issues to the small ones.
Kang An, who secretly cursed Zheng Chu's incompetence and failed to find a reliable person when looking for someone to do things, had no choice but to make this trip, had no other thoughts except anger. He was a third-rank official of the imperial court. , even when he met the loyal Duke Shen Ao, he was not afraid at all. This time he came here just to give Shen Ao a face and take him back.
In Kang An's eyes, this was a trivial matter. He had never dealt with Shen Ao, but he didn't know what Crazy Shen would look like when he went crazy.
The ignorant are fearless!
Kang An, who did not take this matter as a big deal, appeared in front of Feng Xun and others, and began to yell at them in a superior manner. "What are your intentions in obstructing Dali Temple from handling the case? If not because you are members of the Zhongguo Mansion." House slaves, this trip will definitely be punished. Now, we will take you away, and you can disperse."
As soon as he appeared here, Kang An set his tone and acted as if he had given Shen Ao face. Presumably, even if Duke Zhongguo found out about this incident later, he would be grateful that he had given him face and would not come to make unreasonable troubles with him. Alright.
It seemed as if he came here just to say this. After saying this, Kang An turned around and left, as if the matter had been solved satisfactorily because of his appearance.
Kang An's words cannot convince everyone, especially since Wang Tong wants to take Xu Qing away with him. As his father, Xu Heng is not willing to obey him. Although he is a little afraid of Kang An's official power in his heart, the matter involves himself.
When his daughter was born, he still stood up and said loudly: "My daughter has not done anything wrong, please keep her."
"Who are you? The adults have already spoken, so you don't have the right to speak here. Shut up immediately, or I will arrest you and go to jail." Zheng Chu finally got the chance to speak, and he pointed at Xu Heng and scolded him like a mad dog.
.
Xu Heng was stunned by this threat and stood there blankly. He just made a request, and it was a reasonable request. Why was he put in prison? Is there any law in this world?
Fortunately, Zheng Chu only cursed. He had long noticed that Xu Heng was being protected by a group of guards from the loyal government. If he were to arrest this person forcefully, he would probably anger the other party and cause unnecessary trouble.
Trouble, after just threatening him, he turned around and wanted to follow Shangguan and leave.
But Zheng Chu wanted to leave, but someone didn't want them to leave. Feng Xun finally spoke, "Wait a minute, the matter has been reported to Duke Zhong, and Duke Zhong will be here soon. Please let him know the right and wrong."
Come and decide.”
"Huh?" Kang An, who originally didn't want to meet Feng Xun, just didn't want to make things worse. But that didn't mean that he was afraid of the other party. Even if Shen Ao stood in front of him, in terms of official rank, the other party was just the Jin Department of the Ministry of Accounts.
The boss is only from the third rank, and his rank is not as good as mine. You need to bow to him when you see him, right?
He didn't even pay attention to his master. He was just a small guard. What right did he have to keep him? When Kang An turned his head, there was anger in his eyes. He pointed at Feng Xun and said: "This man's words are arrogant.
I'm afraid they are not good citizens, so let's take them back together and interrogate them carefully."
It was an understatement, and he did not take Feng Xun's status as a guard of the Duke of Zhongguo into consideration at all.
This is not Kang'an's intention to make things bigger. In fact, he has come across too many things like this. As a parent official in the capital, he has the power to settle prison lawsuits, unless he is a member of the royal family or the six ministers, or important ministers who are like servants.
Apart from others, there are few others who can be taken seriously. Otherwise, we have to take care of this and that, how can we enforce the law and exercise the power in our hands?
Not to mention, Kang An also has the support of Prince Xiang behind him. This is the prince who has the highest claim for the crown prince. With this support, he is just a guard of the duke's family. He can really take care of it as he says, and others can't accuse him of anything. Even if he is
When the trouble came to the emperor, he also held principles and righteousness.
Those were the words of Master Bo Zheng Chu and others. He sneered at Feng Xun twice, then waved his hand, and a government servant rushed forward from behind to take Feng Xun away.
"How dare you!" All the guards of the loyal government were glaring with anger. Although they were holding wooden sticks, no one showed any fear. If you dare to charge forward, we will teach you how to be a good person.
