"Yes!" The servants agreed and acted separately according to the order.
Previously, Wu Er and others drew their swords and made false attacks, which frightened the servants so much that they dared not speak out. Now that Wu Er and others were far away, the servants' courage suddenly became stronger.
No, this tone must be resolute. Otherwise, it will not be their own face that will be embarrassed, but the entire Qingzhou Yan clan.
The Yan family in Qingzhou was a model for the local gentry. Even when the governor of the state was appointed, he had to pay a visit to the old man of the Yan family before he could officially sit in the government office.
A mere young master who came from nowhere, with more than a hundred soldiers at hand, dared to humiliate the second manager of the Yan family in public. If the Yan family didn't torture him to death, wouldn't it encourage those who came after him to follow suit?
As for the cause of this conflict, no one in the family is too lazy to think about it. Anyway, in Qingzhou and even Jingdong East Road, the Yan family does nothing wrong. Even if human life is taken lightly, the other party is looking for death first. No matter which yamen the lawsuit is brought to, they will not
lose!
No wonder they were so confident. From the very beginning of the Song Dynasty, they claimed that the king and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together. When Zhao Kuangyin was alive, this statement was still superficial.
As the second-generation emperor Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne in confusion and lost the battle against Liao in a tragic manner, in order to stabilize the imperial power, "the king and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together" became a slogan and gradually became a reality!
Since ancient times, when the country favors a certain class or type of people from policies to laws, it will inevitably lead to lawlessness of that class or type of people. The Song Dynasty in the eleventh century was no exception.
The Yan family in Qingzhou has three sons and a magistrate with real power. Even among the scholar-bureaucrats, it is in the upper reaches. The children and minions of the family naturally want to do whatever they want.
With this confidence, his servant Yan Wu took a shortcut and arrived at Qingzhou City first. The journey was smooth and he met with Wang De, the governor of the capital, and truthfully told the second manager Yan Siren's request.
"You said it's less than twenty, but you still have more than a hundred servants? This man's father is at least the current regiment commander, right?" After all, he is also a sixth-grade local official. After all, Wang De is more knowledgeable than the steward Yan Siren, frowning
, speculated in a low voice.
Regarding Yan's accusation that brother and sister Liu Mubai and Liu Xue'er were the remnants of the Chunyang Cult, he simply chose to ignore it. In recent months, the "remnants of the Chunyang Cult" had long become a pocket crime, and anyone could take advantage of it.
Pretend, don’t care if you pretend to be two more. The local government may not dare to catch the real Chunyang cultists, but there are a lot of fake ones in the prison at your feet!
"She should be a general, but the roof of the carriage is not clad with copper. The accent is not an authentic Bianliang accent, it is more like coming from the Shaanzhou generation!" Yan Wu was also a smart man. After thinking for a while, he added in a low voice.
"Well, since Mr. Yan has said so, Wang will definitely not refuse." Wang De noticed the description "the carriage is not clad with copper" and immediately relaxed a lot.
Although the court's etiquette requirements are not so strict at present, there is still a lot of emphasis on whether the top of the carriage is covered with metal.
The royal ornaments are gold, the princes and princesses, and the princes are decorated in silver. The ones below the marquis are made of white copper. Officials without title are still above the sixth grade and are covered with red copper, and the lower ones are covered with bronze. Ordinary people, no matter how rich they are, can at most wear carriages.
If you dare to cover the iron sheet with copper, you will definitely be troubled by the officials.
The young master who offended the Yan family had a large number of servants, but the specifications of the carriage were very ordinary. This shows that his father's official position was not higher than that of a state regiment envoy, and he was not knighted.
In this way, Wang De will not worry about kicking the iron plate and hurting his toes.
"My second master didn't want to do anything to him. Just teach him a lesson and let him admit his mistakes. Otherwise, any young master from out of town will bully our Yan family and spread the word to Qingzhou.
The gentry's faces are also dull!" In order to reassure Wang De, Yan Wu continued to add in a low voice.
"Well! I know what to do!" Wang De thought for a while, then nodded softly, "Go and tell the second master that we will meet you at the city gate later. I will ask my men to kill the Liu family in front of him.
Those two bastards caught him. Then they threatened the young master, saying that he was harboring a fugitive. Finally, he asked the second master to come out and intercede for him."
"Hmm, um, Wang is a very clever catcher, so I must bring you the exact words!" Yan Wu understood immediately and smiled and held his hands in his arms.
"Young man, no one has a bold moment. But after all, he is also a son of an official. His father may not be like your eldest boss, or a colleague. He will never see you again in the future, so we should leave some room for each other!" I'm afraid Yan Siren
In embarrassment and unwilling to listen to his own arrangements, Wang De lowered his voice and added to Yan Wu.
He doesn't need to be so verbose when helping the Yan family deal with a commoner. But the other person is a son of an official, so he must be careful. This is like a tiger eating sheep and cows, and will never be cautious. But when hunting wolves and leopards, you must always be careful.
was counterattacked by the latter's associates.
Yan Wu also understood this truth. Therefore, he agreed repeatedly, said goodbye and went out, taking care of himself to pay the order to the second manager, Yan Siren.
Wang De, after calculating the approximate time, also ordered more than a hundred policemen and archers to attack the west gate of Qingzhou City in a mighty manner.
Due to the Chunyang Sect's assassination of the left patrol envoy of Kaifeng Prefecture six months ago, Qingzhou City is still heavily guarded. The main gate in the west of the city, which could have accommodated three carriages in parallel, is tightly closed. Only two small gates on the left and right are left.
In and out.
Wang De ignored the small gate on the left for people to leave the city. Outside the small gate on the right, he led his men to open up a posture and strictly interrogate all people entering the city. At the same time, there were dozens of soldiers
The sword was unsheathed, after listening to his greeting, the arrow was cocked, and he stared down at the enemy tower.
The people who were about to enter the city realized that something was wrong, and turned around to the north and south city gates to avoid being exposed to the disaster. The people who had finished working on what they needed to do for the day, and who had left the city, stood in twos and threes in the open space a little further away.
I peeked towards the city gate and watched the excitement.
"Who is Wang Dujia looking for excuses to deal with this time? How could he actually put up such a big fight?" A scholar wearing a Confucian crown and accompanied by a boy was quite courageous. While watching, he whispered to the person next to him.
discussion among peers.
"I don't know. Judging from his posture, the other party's background is not too young!" His companion, who was also a scholar, thought for a while and responded with a shake of his head.
"I saw the servants of the Yan family hurried out of the city gate on horseback just now. Someone must have provoked the Yan family!" Nearby, a middle-aged man dressed as a merchant couldn't help but interject in a low voice.
.
The two scholars glanced at him with disdain, and then moved away to avoid being tainted with the smell of copper and losing the elegance of the articles they wrote in the future.
However, after stopping their feet again, the two followed the merchant's reminder and whispered, "Who would be brave enough to provoke the Yan family? Now it's better, we don't even have to enter Qingzhou City.
He was directly dragged to jail by Capt. Wang."
"Alas, no matter who it is, they are all in bad luck! In Qingzhou, the Yan family... alas"
"well……"
At the end of the story, the two couldn't help but sigh at the same time. They were both dissatisfied with Yan's control over Qingzhou, and they were helpless about the reality.
"Here we come, here we come, there are five or six carriages. No wonder Wang De put up such a big formation."
"This shameless Wang De, who has a dignified sixth-grade governor, doesn't think it's despicable to flatter the servants of the Yan Mansion?"
…
There were also discussions all around. But the people watching the excitement became more and more excited when they noticed that the target had appeared.
There were also some rogues who liked to play tricks on others, so they simply carried stones and tiles and got behind Wang De. They were always ready to look at this man's face and cheer for the police to build up his momentum.
Yan Siren, the second manager of Yan Mansion, who followed Han Qing's motorcade all the way, had already received a report from Yan Wu, and knew how to cooperate with Wang De. At this moment, he saw Wang De personally leading the team to block the city gate, pretending
He strictly interrogated everyone who entered the city, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind. Immediately, he mobilized his mounts, passed the convoy, and handed over to Wang De from a distance: "Wangdu, long time no see. How are you doing?"
"Brother Lao Yan is thinking about me, it's okay, it's okay!" Wang De smiled and bowed, and then gave Yan Siren a wink to signal him to calm down.
Although he had made up his mind to cause trouble for the "foreign young man", he would not directly order people to search the convoy. Instead, he would screen the people who entered the city before the convoy and then order his men.
The brothers surrounded the convoy.
During this period, Wu Er tried to step forward several times to reveal his identity, but Wang De was pushed aside on the grounds that he was unavailable. At this moment, it was finally time to deal with the real owner. Wang De immediately pressed the hilt of his knife and condescended towards the carriage.
Duan shouted: "Who is this person? Did he bring the official certificate? Did he take in any strangers in the team? If so, hand it over as soon as possible to avoid harm to yourself!" (Note: Public certificate, Song Dynasty ID card.)
"Well, cough, cough, cough!" Yan Siren also straightened his chest and straightened his back, and immediately sat upright and coughed repeatedly. He was waiting to see how the reckless young man in the carriage was reduced to disgrace by Wang De. Then he went on his own.
Raise your hand high.
However, the next development of things was somewhat beyond his expectation.
The young man in the carriage didn't even lift the curtain, he held up such a big air,
The young man's confidant general sneered and unhooked a bronze medal from his waist and threw it directly at Wang De's chest, "I don't have the official title. This is Wu's waist medal. Put away your tricks, otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences."
!”
What a great majesty! Yan Siren is also well-informed, but this is the first time he sees someone so arrogant in front of the governor Wang De. Immediately, he feels the same hatred for the enemy in his heart, holding a whip in hand, ready to rush forward at any time
Teach the other party a lesson.
However, Wang De, who should have been furious, immediately rolled off his mount after receiving the waist card. He rushed towards the carriage in three steps and two steps, and bowed to the ground towards the carriage captain, "It turns out that the punishment is here! I just heard that the official
I was blind, delaying Ti Xing's entry into the city, and I definitely didn't mean to be careless. Please forgive me if I offended you!"
After saying that, he quickly turned his head to the policemen and helpers beside him, and shouted in a very exaggerated manner, "What are you doing standing still? Why didn't you notify the captain of the city gate and quickly opened the main gate? One person wiped out the Red Lotus Sect on Yongxing Military Road.
Han Tixing is here, this time, we in Qingzhou don’t have to worry about the Chunyang Sect causing trouble again!”
