Every February, local officials from all over the country come to Beijing to report on their work. During this period, conflicts between local officials and patrol officers often occur.

According to the laws of Dachu, except for certain public officials, no one is allowed to ride horses in the downtown area.

However, some local officials, perhaps accustomed to being domineering in the local area, or having other sources of support, often ignore this order.

On February 18th, Shi Zhenghe and a team of Beicheng soldiers and horses were patrolling the Jinghe River area in the outer city.

Jinghe River, one of the three major rivers in Beijing, flows in from Deshengmen and then flows out from Dongbianmen, spanning the entire North City.

The two sides of the Jing River have always been the most lively areas in Beicheng. After entering February, with the return of spring and the recovery of all things on the earth, more and more people went out to enjoy the scenery, so that pedestrians on both sides of the river were bustling, shoulder to shoulder.

Especially in the Shidongqiao area, a large number of tourists gather because of the beautiful scenery and the proximity to the Lotus Lake where you can swim.

Shidong Bridge is a ten-hole arch bridge. The arch holes gradually increase from both sides to the center of the bridge. The bridge is 35 meters long and 8 meters wide.

On the bridge, a large number of people gathered, walking or stopping, talking and laughing while admiring the scenery on the river.

Originally everything was very harmonious and beautiful, but suddenly, several galloping tall horses suddenly rushed onto the bridge. Seeing that some pedestrians had no time to dodge, they were about to be trampled by the horses' hooves. Shi Zhenghe arrived in time, punched the horses on the head, and killed them.

The horse and the man on its back were knocked to the ground.

"Be bold!"

The other horses stopped suddenly, and the people on horseback glared at Shi Zhenghe: "You are so brave, you dare to intercept the carriage of the Governor of Nanzhong, don't you want your head?"

Shi Zhenghe and Ningmei looked at the group of people in front of them: "You are the ones who are bold. After entering the city, you are not allowed to ride horses in the downtown area. This is a court order."

As he said that, he looked at the carriage behind him.

Obviously, these people on horseback were opening the way to escort the carriage behind them across the bridge.

"Cars and horses are not allowed to pass here. There are too many pedestrians around. Please choose another way."

The people on horseback did not take Shi Zheng and these low-level patrol officers of the Military and Horse Department seriously at all, and snorted coldly: "If you are wise, please give way quickly. My governor is in a hurry to enter the palace to meet the saint. If there is a delay,

You can't afford to lose your time."

With that said, he raised his whip and prepared to ride his horse across the bridge again.

After hearing that the person coming was the Governor of Nanzhong, other people in the Military and Horse Division wanted to retreat. They did not want to cause trouble, so they all retreated to both sides.

Only Shi Zhenghe was still standing in the middle of the bridge, looking at the group of people on the opposite side who were about to cross the bridge again, and shouted loudly to the carriage behind: "It is the responsibility of the Beicheng Army and Horse Department to protect the security in the Shidong Bridge area.

, please don’t make things difficult for us.”

In the carriage, the governor of Nanzhong, Mu Shaowu, was impatient. He was delayed for some time on the road. Today was the deadline for reporting on his duties. He was anxious to meet the saint. Facing the North City soldiers and horses who were blocking him, he was extremely annoyed.

, knocked on the car door and uttered two words: "Cross the bridge."

They are just some low-ranking government officials. After the interview, they can have a meal with the commander of the Beicheng Army and Horse Division and they can resolve the matter peacefully.

The driver heard the order and shouted "cross the bridge" loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the horsemen who had intended to rush in started whipping their horses.

When Shi Zhenghe saw it, his face became stern. He looked back at the crowds of people setting up stalls on both sides of the river. His eyes narrowed. When the horse rushed towards him, he jumped forward in a few steps, jumped in the air, "bang bang bang" and kicked several times.

He kicked the man off the horse.

"Hold the horse!"

Hearing Shi Zhenghe's shouts, the courageous military and horse officials rushed to the mountain to stop the restless horses.

At this moment, a black figure flew out of the carriage behind, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Shi Zhenghe, and gave Shi Zhenghe a sharp slap in front of his face.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Shi Zhenghe did not give in at all, raised his fist to meet him, and received the palm of the man in black.

"Boom~"

During the collision between fists and palms, a huge impact was erupted, which directly caused the river water under the bridge to explode.

The blown river water flew in front of the bridge and wet the clothes of many people on the bridge, causing everyone to retreat in fear.

In the carriage, Mu Shaowu narrowed his eyes as he watched Shi Zhenghe resisting his adopted son Duan Feng for more than a dozen times. His adopted son was a ninth-level master, and someone in a place like the Military and Horse Division could actually confront him head-on.

After all, it was the capital, and he was worried that the other party had some background. Mu Shaowu hesitated for a moment, then shouted: "Duan Feng, come back."

Hearing Mu Shaowu's voice, Duan Feng and Shi Zhenghe stopped their hands together.

Duan Feng stared at Shi Zhenghe expressionlessly for a while, then turned around and returned to the carriage.

Then, the people on the bridge and on both sides of the bridge saw that the carriages and horses of the Governor of Nanzhong began to turn around and did not continue to forcefully cross the bridge.

Seeing this, the officer of the Beicheng Military and Horse Department breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little surprised.

In fact, there are quite a lot of local officials who insist on their high position and are unruly. They hardly slow down in the outer cities and go on a rampage, causing many troubles.

Afraid of their identities, the yamen of the Bingma Division and Jingzhao Mansion would mostly turn a blind eye when they met them on weekdays, and did not dare to face them head-on.

This time, Shi Zhenghe actually stopped a governor and asked someone to make concessions on his own initiative, which really surprised them.

However, some people looked worried: "That's the Governor of Nanzhong, we won't cause trouble, right?"

When Shi Zhenghe heard this, he frowned: "We were performing our duties and made no mistakes. If we are really blamed, I will bear the responsibility myself."

.......

"After that, the Fourth Master led the rest of the Soldiers and Horses Division to continue patrolling."

Shi Ying, Shi Zhenghe's servant, told everyone in the Shi family exactly what happened on Shidong Bridge yesterday.

After hearing this, everyone in the family fell into silence.

After a long while, Mrs. Shi asked: "After returning to the Army and Horse Division with the team yesterday, did the commander say anything?"

Shi Ying shook his head: "No, the commander didn't say anything. Everyone thought everything was fine. Who would have known that as soon as the fourth master came back from patrolling the streets today, the father-in-law from the palace came to say that the emperor had summoned him."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that Old Madam Shi and everyone looked sad, Shi Ying said again: "Old Madam, this servant and Shi Yong followed the fourth master to the palace gate.

, I saw King Duan, the commander-in-chief of the troops and horses of the five cities, at the gate of the palace."

"The fourth master entered the palace together with Prince Duan. I secretly took a look at Prince Duan's face. When Prince Duan saw the fourth master, he immediately smiled. I thought it was not a bad thing."

Hearing this, Shi's family members were startled at first, and then their hearts slowly dropped back to their stomachs.

King Duan received the errand of the commander-in-chief of the five-city army and horses. He rarely took care of things on weekdays. He actually waited at the gate of the palace and personally brought Shi Zhenghe into the palace to see the emperor. He was still smiling. This shows that the emperor summoned Shi Zhenghe.

It's not about reducing guilt and punishment.

Mrs. Shi asked again: "Who is waiting at the palace gate?"

Shi Ying: "Shi Yong has been waiting at the palace gate for the fourth master to come out."

When Mrs. Shi heard this, she immediately felt uneasy.

Shi Ying and Shi Yong were selected from Zhuangzi before the second son's family returned to his uncle's house. Because they were strong and powerful, they were chosen to be placed next to the second son.

In the past, the uncle's house did not have high expectations for the second son's family, and the servants he selected were only required to be obedient and do things well. But now that the second son has entered the palace, the requirements for those around him are even higher.

Mrs. Shi quickly ordered Mrs. Shi: "Ask Manager Shi to take a few people to go there in person. If there is any news, please spread it home."

Mrs. Shi nodded and turned around to explain.

While Shi's family was waiting anxiously, Shi Zheng and Zheng were kneeling in the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

On the dragon chair, the emperor was drinking tea and looking at Shi Zhenghe.

The first impression Shi Zhenghe gave him was that he was tall and tall. He had seen many military officers, but few could be as tall and strong as him.

Seeing Shi Zhenghe bulging his arm muscles, the emperor suddenly became interested. He stood up and walked in front of Shi Zhenghe. He rubbed Shi Zhenghe's hard arms with a folding fan and asked curiously: "How did you develop those tendons?"

Shi Zhenghe was confused by the question. He thought the emperor summoned him to question him for blocking the governor of Nanzhong yesterday. He didn't expect that the first question asked would be this.

Shi Zhenghe's reaction was quite quick, and he quickly replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, my subordinate started practicing foreign martial arts when he was more than ten years old, and he became like this after practicing."

The emperor nodded calmly, and then said with a smile: "I heard that your eldest son can fight to a tie with Zhao Shengming, a young general who is extremely powerful. Your youngest son also helped the officers and soldiers catch three criminal thieves. They

Did you teach me all my kung fu?"

The superb martial arts displayed by Shi Zhenghe and his son aroused not only curiosity among others, but also the emperor.

You know, it is not easy to train a martial arts master. The northwest border is poor and remote. Shi Zhenghe was just a small military household before, and there was no way to raise such a powerful son.

Shi Zhenghe shook his head honestly: "Back to the emperor, when my subordinates were in the northwest, they stayed in the guardhouse most of the time and rarely went home. Apart from teaching the eldest son some basic boxing and kicking skills, the children taught themselves everything else.

of."

"Self-taught?"

The emperor laughed out loud. This lie was too false, but looking at Shi Zhenghe's unfailing expression, the emperor's eyes were full of interest: "How did they teach themselves?"

Shi Zhenghe replied: "Your Majesty, border cities usually have Beiyan's secrets hidden in them. By chance, four of my children discovered a Beiyan hidden pile and found a large number of martial arts secrets inside."

The emperor really didn't expect this answer. Prince Duan on the side also widened his eyes in shock: "Isn't this too much of a farce?"

Shi Zhenghe: "My subordinates also feel the same way. I don't know if the Beiyan hidden pile offended someone. All the Beiyan Xizuo inside were killed. The four children of my subordinates bumped into it. They just wanted to go in.

....I went in to look for food and belongings, but who knew, I finally brought back a basket of martial arts secrets."

"How many martial arts secrets?"

The emperor and Prince Duan both looked at Shi Zhenghe.
