The incident happened so suddenly that Wang Xun had no time to stop him. One of the bad boys took the lead, and several other bad boys rolled and crawled. In an instant, they scattered like flies. By the time he reacted and tried to chase after him, the bad boys had already run out.
After walking twenty or thirty steps, he kept shouting for help at the corner of a teahouse in the distance, "Captain Sun, help! Someone is killing someone, someone is killing someone! Someone is killing someone with a knife!"
It is a common practice in Chang'an City that the yamen officers cannot arrive at the scene until the fight is over. In fact, Sun Renyu, the county lieutenant of Wannian County, had already heard the news and rushed there, but he was unwilling to show up in advance and broke the rules. See you now.
He had no choice but to escape from his hiding place, and raised his hands towards Wang Xun from a distance, "Little Marquis, please calm down for now. How did these guys offend you? Can you please do it for my sake?"
Let them go!"
"It's you..." Wang Xun was stunned for a moment, and his eyes, reddened by the alcohol, slowly began to regain their clarity. The other party had no friendship with him, but after all, he was responsible for maintaining local security. He beat him in front of him.
I'm afraid people are a little too unreasonable, and it also damages the prestige of the police officers.
He was determined to stop there, but the dandies suddenly regained their energy and ran to Sun Renyu to wait for him to do the work. They immediately pretended to be powerful. They bared their teeth and claws in this direction and said, "Captain Sun, take him down quickly. My grandpa will definitely give you a heavy reward."
you!"
"Young gentlemen, please don't be anxious!" Sun Renyu looked here and there, feeling very embarrassed. Because he was involved in the case of King Yin's rebellion in Jingzhao, the officials in Chang'an and Wannian counties almost all caught thieves.
He was the only one who was transferred from other places. Because he was not familiar with his superiors and colleagues, not only was he not implicated, but he was promoted several levels after the incident, and he was directly promoted from the police officer to the county captain.
He became the third most important figure in the Wannian County Yamen besides the county magistrate and chief registrar.
The more overjoyed Sun Renyu was, the less at ease he felt. He had seen how majestic Xue Rongguang, the former county captain, was, and how miserable the fate of King Yin and his family in Jingzhao was. He knew that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the heart of the capital, and he was
A small county captain has a shallow foundation and a weak foundation. It is best if he can avoid causing trouble.
Based on this principle of doing less than doing more, he has also gained good popularity. Not only his bosses think he is diligent, but also the merchants in the market are grateful to him because they suddenly have a lot less to pay, and he has something to do.
The general meeting took the initiative to inform the Yamen. After a few months of this, the area under its jurisdiction was managed prosperously. Although he did not dare to say that the house was not closed at night, if there was any trouble, it could not be hidden from the ears of his grandson.
But today, Sun Renyu, the peacemaker, may not be able to do it. Among the people who were beaten, one happened to be the son of his immediate boss, the new Wannian County Magistrate Wei Hong. And the person who beat him had only recently been awarded the sixth rank of martial arts.
, the future prospects may be limitless.
"Mr. Sun, are you colluding with the thieves?"
"If you dare to let him go, we will definitely fight you forever!" Seeing Sun Renyu's delay in obeying the order, several dudes immediately stared and threatened fiercely.
"It's not that I don't want to give you face! They haven't had enough fun yet! Brother Sun, you'd better get out of the way!" Wang Xun didn't want to embarrass Sun Renyu, so he knocked on his stirrup and slowly took a few steps forward.
"Don't, don't let him come over!" Several dandies immediately turned pale with fear and hid behind the guards, with their heads tucked into their clothes. "Stop him, there will be a reward for stopping him!"
"Little Marquis, little Marquis, calm down, calm down!" Sun Renyu bowed repeatedly, fearing that Wang Xun would find an opportunity to have an attack if he was not careful, "They don't know the heights of the world, you must not be as knowledgeable as them!"
Looking back, he hurriedly explained to the dandies, "Young masters, for my sake, can you please give way to me?"
"Just you? A little county lieutenant?" The dandy who was so frightened that he couldn't walk curled his lips without caring about Sun Renyu's face. "What kind of face do you have? Hurry up and take him down. Otherwise we'll walk."
Look!"
"Sun, please don't try to seduce yourself. Otherwise, I will ask my grandpa to remove you from your position tomorrow!" Another dandy also put his hand on his waist. Seven of them refused and eight refused.
"My young master!" Sun Renyu stamped his feet anxiously. He has never seen such a heartless person before. "Look at the clothes on his body. He is a sixth-grade school captain, a flying dragon imperial guard, and your majesty's personal soldier."
.I have the right to interfere with the public security in the capital. Even if the county magistrate was present in person, he would not order his arrest, let alone me?"
"What's wrong with the captain of the Royal Guards? Isn't he only a sixth-grade man?" The dandy boys pouted one after another. "My grandpa..."
Before he finished speaking, a window on the second floor of the teahouse diagonally above everyone's heads suddenly opened. A bronze-faced man in his twenties stuck out half of his head and suggested with a smile, "I say, Mr. County Captain, you still have to do it."
Go further away. You don't need to worry about them at all. His grandpa will solve all the troubles with just one word tomorrow."
"That's right. Let Captain Wang cripple them first. Then you can show your face again, isn't it? You're so good, why are you causing trouble for yourself!" Another young face showed up and suggested with a smile.
suggestion.
"This..." Sun Renyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If he hadn't been seen by the playboys just now, of course he could hide as long as he could. But now, there is no reason to let the situation continue to escalate. He could only smile a few times and make suggestions.
The people handed over their hands repeatedly, "Thank you two for your advice. But Sun is also a county captain after all, so there is no reason to watch them being beaten to death!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Several dudes were furious, pointing at Sun Renyu's nose and scolding him.
"Young gentlemen, gentlemen! Calm down, calm down, and let me explain!" Sun Renyu was so anxious that he wiped his sweat, but he didn't know how to make these heartless guys understand the situation at hand.
When the catchers who followed Sun Renyu saw this, they were really angry. They simply shrugged and walked away, exposing the dudes directly in front of Wang Xun's horse. This time, nothing else worked, the dudes
He immediately let go of Sun Renyu, and while retreating far away, he cursed at the teahouse: "Where are you from, a country bumpkin? Why are you meddling in your own business?! If you say another word, grandpa will pinch you!"
"Grandson, who are you scolding?" The bronze-faced man did not expect that the dandies would dare to provoke him at this moment. He was stunned when he was scolded, and he scolded back with a clear Hebei accent.
"Grandpa just scolded you, what's wrong?" The dandy boys couldn't afford to offend Wang Xun, but they were not afraid of this foreigner and jumped back to fight back.
"Okay, okay, grandpa was just looking at it and his hands were itchy!" The bronze-faced man jumped up and jumped directly from the window. He spun in mid-air and pounced on several dudes like an eagle. Before they even landed,
The feet were already there first, "Dong, dong, dong!" He kicked him three times in succession before he steadily regained his momentum.
"Ah——" After being beaten, the dude lay there and screamed in a low voice.
"Killing, killing! Killing in front of the police!" The few who were not beaten hid behind Sun Renyu, grabbing the hem of the opponent's robe and holding on. "Help, Brother Sun, help..."
"Oh my god!" Sun Renyu held his head in his hands and squatted directly under the teahouse. Wang Xun appeared before, which made his head three feet bigger. Now the foreigner who jumped down again has no background.
Just because of the unicorn embroidered on the chest of his outer robe, he is not at a level that he can afford to offend. (Note 1)
He was not a tall man, and when he squatted down, he couldn't hide anything behind his back. The bronze-faced man didn't do anything, but rushed forward, kicking one by one, and kicked all the remaining dandies.
He kicked him to the ground. After that, he still felt uneasy, so he kicked his stomach hard with the toe of his boot, and cursed fiercely: "What will happen if I kill you? There are people who raise things that no one can teach me. It won't save my life at all. If it's you,
Eight!”
At this moment, not only were all the catchers dumbfounded, but Wang Xun, who suddenly became a spectator, was also a little confused. Although the bronze-faced man didn't use weapons, he was much more ruthless than him. He only managed to make up for it, and he was a dandy.
Some of the disciples had blood foaming from their mouths. Afraid that if the opponent continued to fight, he would be killed, Wang Xun quickly jumped off his mount and gave his hand as a gift: "Thank you for helping me, brother. Although these guys bully others, but
It’s not a crime that can lead to death. There’s no need to delay my brother’s future because of them!”
"I don't care about any bullshit future. This official in Chang'an City is so boring!" The bronze-faced man curled his lips and didn't take Wang Xun's reminder at all. "If I hadn't had time to go downstairs to get the horse just now, I would have
I will chase them with you. Let them taste the feeling of having their arms and legs broken first, and then you can reason with them!"
"General, calm down, general." Sun Renyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the bronze-faced man's thighs with both hands. "Please, don't fight. If you continue to fight, the jobs of your subordinates and brothers will be gone."
Got it!"
"If you don't come to my place, you'll eat no worse than now!" The bronze-faced man responded angrily, and finally stopped his feet. "You really are such a useless county captain, what do you have to miss?
?Aren’t you addicted to pretending to be your grandson?”
Sun Renyu was speechless, shook his head and sighed. The bronze-faced man looked around, then kicked the dude closest to him, and said with a sneer: "Remember, the one who hit you today is
Pinglu Zuowei General Shi Chaoyi. If any of you are dissatisfied, just let your family trouble me. I will be living in the capital these days. Don’t be too late. If it’s too late, I won’t have time to compensate you!"
Note 1: The uniforms of military attachés in the Tang Dynasty had decorative embroidery on the outside, called robe flowers. Those with unicorns embroidered on their chests were the generals who led the troops in each town, or the leaders of the imperial guards.
