Chapter 19 It turns out that being a club is more scary
Looking at the government soldiers who were about to arrest him, the burly young man felt anxious, and he pulled out his hand, and the two government soldiers flew out in an instant.
"My lords, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, but have you made a mistake? I'm obviously a victim, so why did you arrest me instead?"
The captain of the imperial army was dumbfounded. He pointed at the young man's nose and cursed:
"You dare to hinder our errands, you must be a thug..."
Besides, do you think we are stupid? You are standing while they are lying down, and you still dare to tell us that you are a victim?
At this time, the team members were also a little bit stuck. They knew that they should have encountered a tough fight, but they still had to bluff.
No matter how skilled the burly young man is, he is not afraid, because no matter how skilled you are, you will not dare to resist the imperial court!
As long as the young man follows him, when he arrives at the government office and the shackles are put on him, he is not allowed to knead him as much as he wants.
"Master, it's true that they grabbed my pheasant first. I just pushed them a little. The conflict with the officials just now was purely a misunderstanding."
Although he is young, he is still reasonable and knows that no matter whether he is justified or not, he must never fight against the soldiers again, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.
"You said they robbed you by force? Do you have any evidence? I also said that you have no regard for the imperial court and want to rebel!"
"They can all testify for me. Many people have seen it."
"Testify, huh, let's see who dares!"
The middle-aged butler dusted himself off and stood up, looking at the onlookers with contempt.
Immediately, the crowd watching the excitement took a few steps back, and no one dared to stand up.
There is no way, everyone who lives in the West Market knows what is going on, and many people have suffered from it.
Testify, but who dares! Unless you don’t want to make a living here.
As the spectators retreated, the positions of Yang Fan and Wu Zhao stood out, making them particularly conspicuous.
The captain and the middle-aged housekeeper just glanced at them and didn't care.
Because Yang Fan and the others were not very luxuriously dressed, and they looked young, and there were no servants following them.
Such a combination will naturally not attract their attention.
Looking at the retreating crowd, their eyes were filled with unwillingness, but they did not dare to speak out. Team Zheng felt deeply that he was standing wisely.
"Stop talking nonsense and come with us. If you dare to resist again, you will be considered a rebel. As for whether you are guilty or not, it is up to you, the adults, to decide!"
"Master, I, Xue Li, swear to God, they were the ones who snatched my pheasant first, and they were the ones who made the first move!"
Seeing the behavior of the onlookers, the young man was stunned for a moment and also a little anxious.
"Hmph, if the oath is useful, why would we use our soldiers for anything, and why would we need Wang's method? Take it away!"
"Wait a minute, I can testify that this is how your soldiers do things. Do you want me to talk to your lords about it?"
Hearing the word Xue Li, Yang Fan suddenly thought of something.
But if it was that person, shouldn't he be in Jiangzhou at this time?
There is no time to think too much, save it first and then talk about it.
The soldiers who were about to arrest people again were dumbfounded and could only look at the leader.
Dui Zheng frowned, obviously he didn't recognize Yang Fan.
But no matter who it is, as long as it is a lord, it is not something that his small army can provoke.
What's more, they are obviously being unreasonable.
So he cupped his fists and asked:
"My lordship is..."
"My lordship is Yang Fan, the founding uncle of Wannian County who has just been ennobled by His Majesty..."
Hearing this, the surrounding crowd suddenly became agitated, whispering together in twos and threes.
"This is County Uncle Wannian, so young!"
"The uncle of Wannian County provided the court with a method to prevent the smallpox plague, and he was the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva."
…
The expressions of the captain and the middle-aged housekeeper changed when they heard this.
They didn't expect that they would encounter such a giant Buddha in this crowded West Market.
This Kaiguo County Bodhisattva has just been ennobled by His Majesty.
Every time the imperial court confers a knighthood, a royal list will be posted, so they will naturally know about it.
You should know that after Your Majesty ascended the throne and granted many ministers a large number of titles, except for those with great military exploits, he rarely granted any more titles.
Naturally, the man who had proposed a method to prevent the smallpox plague was conferred the title of earl by the court, which immediately caused a sensation in the world.
Many people even call Yang Fan a living Bodhisattva.
The team leader and the middle-aged butler looked at each other, somewhat helplessly.
People like them can bully ordinary people, but they would never dare to do anything when they meet a real nobleman.
Although Yang Fan is known as the Living Bodhisattva among many people, in the eyes of Chang'an Xungui, this is a real hammer.
After all, in order to seek justice for a woman, she broke into the Duke's house angrily and slapped him!
What is this kind of person if not a stick?
The most surprising thing was that after the beating, nothing happened to him, but the Duke was grounded for a month.
This matter has been widely spread in Chang'an City.
If it is really this man, they have really touched the tiger's butt!
But we can't show that we bully the weak, fear the strong, or fear the powerful. Otherwise, how will we be able to maintain order in the future?
So Team Zheng could only bite the bullet and said:
"Wei Quangui, the captain of the Chang'an County government's military squad, has met the count."
This strong man obstructed the execution of errands and injured the soldiers of the government. If we let him go like this, where would the dignity of the court be?
Yang Fan laughed out loud when he saw that Wei dignitaries were unwilling to give up and wanted to use the imperial court to put pressure on themselves.
"You, a small military commander, cannot represent the imperial court."
What's more, you know the reason very well, so if you continue to mess around, don't blame me for being rude.
After speaking, he raised his fist.
Seeing Sir Yang Fan taking the lead, the crowd of onlookers was no longer afraid, and was suddenly aroused with righteous indignation.
"Yes, the housekeeper of Duke Huo's mansion got there first."
"This young man is not guilty."
"We support County Uncle Wannian."
…
Seeing the public outrage, the soldiers did not dare to say anything. After all, compared with face and own safety, safety is of course the most important.
I can only walk away in despair.
At this time, the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Sir Alex in front of me hadn't spoken out today, I would have been in jail for a few days, so I cupped my fists and bowed to express my gratitude:
"Thank you very much, Sir. My Excellency, Xue Li, also named Rengui, has just arrived in Chang'an. I am grateful to Sir for your generous help. I am deeply grateful to you."
The burly young man in front of him turned out to be Xue Rengui, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty who would later become world-famous. Yang Fan was so excited that he couldn't help but fall into memories.
Xue Rengui, Ming Li, courtesy name Rengui, was born in 614 BC. He was born in the southern ancestor of the Xue family in Hedong. He was a descendant of Xue Andu, a famous general in the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
The Xue family fell into decline due to the early death of Xue Gui. When Xue Rengui was young, his family was poor and his status was humble, and he made a living by farming.
When he was thirty years old, Xue Rengui was preparing to move the graves of his ancestors. His wife Liu persuaded him:
"You have outstanding talents. Now the emperor is personally campaigning in Liaodong to recruit brave generals. This is a rare opportunity. Why not strive to become famous? It is not too late to return home and bury you after you become rich."
Xue Rengui agreed, so he went to see General Zhang Shigui and entered the army.
He fought for decades in his life and left behind many stories such as stopping the war with good strategies, anchoring the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows, conquering Liaodong bravely, loving the people like the city of Xiangzhou, taking off his hat to retreat from all enemies, etc. He can be called a famous general in ancient times.
Xue Rengui is a late bloomer. After all, in an era when the average life expectancy is only over 40 years old, he joined the army at the age of 30, which is considered very late.
It is now the tenth year of Zhenguan (636 BC), and he should be only twenty-one or two years old. Shouldn't he be farming at home at this time?
How come you came to Chang'an City?
Is it the butterfly flapping its wings that causes the butterfly effect, or is this simply the Tang Dynasty in a parallel world?
Looking at the dazed Yang Fan, Wu Zhao gently tugged at the corner of his clothes. Only then did he come back to his senses and replied apologetically:
"Ren Gui, you are so polite. From your accent, I don't think you are from Chang'an. Why are you living here?"
It turned out that Xue Rengui came to visit his relatives, and the smallpox plague was spreading. His relatives and his family were not spared, so they had to go to Chang'an City to escape.
After the imperial court had controlled the smallpox plague, all the money was spent and the wife fell ill and was bedridden.
Since he had no money for medical treatment, he had no choice but to go out hunting to raise money, which led to what happened just now.
After listening to Xue Rengui's narration, Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh, the world is so unpredictable, it's really a penny that can stump a hero!
On second thought, Yang Fan was thinking about how to conquer this future famous general of the Tang Dynasty.
After making a big fuss in the Duke's Mansion, he found that the background of his family was much worse than that of the distinguished family.
In order to give yourself and your family the ability to protect themselves, you must strengthen safety precautions and establish a security team without delay.
How can good talents be so easy to find? Now that I met Xue Rengui by chance, of course I wanted to take advantage of him.
If he directly gave money and acted recklessly, wouldn't it be obvious to Xue Rengui that he had other intentions?
In the end, either Xue Rengui will be regarded as a fool, or he will be politely rejected. Who of the smart people will accept it?
If the words to come to his aid just now were a sign of drawing a sword to help him when there was an injustice, then the offer of money now for no reason was simply Sima Zhao's intention, which was known to everyone and would be rejected without even thinking about it.
