Xiao Batian had doubts in his heart, so he asked again: "Master Changsun, does this Wang Can really have no background at all?"
"No!"
Changsun Chong answered firmly.
He carefully investigated Wang Can's background, and found out that he was a boy with no background and had just arrived in Chang'an. However, Changsun Chong was now dissatisfied with Xiao Batian's timid attitude.
Changsun Chong said in a deep voice: "Magistrate Xiao, even if Wang Can has a background, it is possible that his background is stronger than mine. In the entire Tang Dynasty, except for the children of the royal family, no one can compare with my Changsun family.
Even the children of the royal family, and many members of the royal family, are probably not as good as my eldest grandson’s family. Under this premise, what are you worried about?"
When Xiao Batian heard this, he sighed. He was able to serve as the magistrate of Chang'an because of his relationship with Changsun's family. So when Changsun Chong found him, it was really hard for him to refuse.
Xiao Batian said: "Okay, I will mobilize the troops immediately."
"good!"
Changsun Chong showed a bright smile on his face.
It's done.
Xiao Batian called his attendants to inform the county captain to mobilize the troops and horses of the county government.
This Chang'an County is at the foot of the Emperor, but the actual military strength of the Chang'an County Government does not exceed a hundred people. These people gathered together, although there are not many, but they are still a large formation.
Xiao Batian led his people to Yongxingfang in a mighty manner.
At this moment, Changsun Chong was extremely excited.
The government came forward, but he didn't believe that this kid Wang Can dared to resist again.
A group of people went from Chang'an County Government Office to Yongxingfang and soon arrived at the gate of Wang's house. Xiao Batian waved his hand, and soldiers came forward to knock on the door. This time, the door was closed.
, everyone was blocked outside the gate.
Following the knocker knocking, the door opened with a creak not long after.
But it was Wang Can standing at the gate.
Wang Can's eyes immediately fell on Changsun Chong. He smiled faintly and said: "Changsun Chong, when you brought people to break into the mansion, I beat you until you turned into a pig's head. At that time, you begged for mercy.
, I promise not to come here to stir up trouble again. But now that you are here again, is it because your skin is still thick and you still want to be beaten?"
Changsun Chong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Wang Can, you dare to beat me. Just for this incident alone, you cannot escape responsibility. You must give me an explanation for what happened this time."
After a pause, Changsun Chong pointed at Xiao Batian and said: "Wang Can, this is the magistrate Xiao County of Chang'an. He is here with the government servants to arrest you and bring you to justice."
Wang Can sneered and said, "I said just now that I, Wang Can, was in my house, and it was your eldest grandson who broke in. Even if I beat you, you deserve it. Who can blame me?"
Changsun Chong said: "But, you beat me in Dongshi."
Wang Can said: "When we were in Dongshi, it was your people who made the first move, and I was forced to defend myself. This was a defense forced out of necessity, so it makes sense. In terms of emotion and reason, there is no problem with this."
Xiao Batian said in a deep voice: "Wang Can, what exactly is going on? It doesn't matter what you say here. Since Master Changsun is suing you, you should follow me to the county government office to talk about this matter."
Xiao Batian still played tricks.
He didn't say Wang Can was guilty.
Wang Can was not convicted.
He just said that Wang Can should go to the county government to make it clear that in such a situation, he would not be considered as aiding the tyrants. Even if everyone could see that he was going to help Changsun Chong, the problem was that there was no evidence, and no one could
Can't say anything.
Wang Can smiled and said: "Magistrate Xiao, this matter is actually very clear. However, Magistrate Xiao insists on letting me go to the county government office. Could it be that he plans to wait for me to arrive at the county government office and then beat him into submission?"
Xiao Batian frowned.
Wang Can is difficult to deal with.
In fact, Changsun Chong had figured out the method of subduing and turning into a move, but Wang Can saw through it at a glance.
After all, Xiao Batian is also the Magistrate of Chang'an County, so Xiao Batian shook his head and said sternly: "You are wrong. I, Xiao Batian, serve as the Magistrate of Chang'an County, not through subjugation, nor through scheming."
After a pause, Xiao Batian said again: "I always handle things impartially, so you don't have to worry about this at all. When you get to the county government, you can deal with it how you want."
Wang Can shook his head and said, "It's a pity, I won't go."
Xiao Batian's face suddenly became sharp and he said: "If you don't cooperate and are unwilling to go, then this county magistrate will have to take forceful measures."
Changsun Chong couldn't listen anymore.
He was impatient.
You, Xiao Batian, are attached to the eldest grandson's family after all. Why do you take your time doing things?
Changsun Chong directly ordered: "Xiao County Magistrate, what are you waiting for? I didn't ask you to come here to talk nonsense with Wang Can. I asked you to come here to capture Wang Can directly. If you can't do it,
When I return to Changsun's house, I will tell my father and ask him to replace him with someone else as the magistrate of Chang'an County."
brush!
Xiao Batian's expression changed slightly.
Pig teammates!
He himself came to help Changsun Chong, but Changsun Chong actually spoke like this now.
This is tantamount to selling him.
Xiao Batian gritted his teeth and held back his anger. He actually wanted to help Changsun Chong back, but Changsun Chong was the eldest son and heir of the Changsun family.
This identity deterred Xiao Batian.
Xiao Batian came from a poor family.
If a scholar from a poor family wants to successfully build a career, achieve something, or even want to climb up, it will be extremely difficult if there is no one in the court to promote him.
Therefore, Xiao Batian still couldn't afford to offend Changsun Chong after all.
Xiao Batian said in a deep voice: "Wang Can, please follow this county magistrate for a while. If you have anything to say, we will talk about it when you get to the county government office. In short, in this matter, you have offended someone you shouldn't offend."
At this time, Xiao Batian changed his words.
After Wang Can heard this, he laughed and said: "Xiao Batian, if I were you, even if I was attached to Changsun Wuji, I would not submit to Changsun Chong like this. After all, you are a fifth-grade person.
Magistrate of Chang'an County, if you had asked Changsun Wuji for instructions on such a matter, the matter would not be so embarrassing."
"Especially what you said just now was so flawless that no one could fault it."
"Even if you helped Changsun Chong, your words and the procedures you used to handle the matter are all legal and reasonable, so there is really nothing wrong with you. Even if someone pursues you, you can take yourself out."
"But now, it's not possible."
"What you just said has completely ruined all your previous efforts."
Wang Can clicked his tongue and said: "It's a pity that you met a pig teammate. When you met a brainless person like Chang Sun Chong, you deserve to be the fifth-level Chang'an County Magistrate now, so you can only stop here."
Although Wang Can is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, Wang Can at this age has deep eyes and a maturity that ordinary people don't have, so no one can despise him.
Xiao Batian looked gloomy.
Wang Can's words really spoke to his heart.
Xiao Batian didn't want his flaws to be exposed at the beginning. Even if he helped Changsun Chong, it would still be tenable. But now, there is no other way.
Xiao Batian said: "Wang Can, stop talking nonsense. Now, it's time for you to visit the county government office. If you cooperate a little, I won't take action. If you don't cooperate, then the troops of Chang'an County will take action, with swords and guns."
Eyeless, if you die, your death will be in vain."
Wang Can said: "It's a pity that you can't kill me."
Changsun Chong was even more impatient and ordered: "Xiao Batian, what are you going to do again? Kill! Let your people kill him. If Wang Can dares to refuse, then kill him. Don't be afraid of death, kill him, my master.
Take responsibility."
"superior!"
Xiao Batian stopped talking and gave the order directly.
Following Xiao Batian's order, his subordinates began to rush forward.
"Who dares to move!"
At this moment, a deep and resonant voice came from behind.
However, there was a hint of hoarseness in this deep and resonant voice. With this voice, Yuan Tiangang walked out of the door. Although he was old, his health was in excellent shape, so he was still full of breath.
It's just that Yuan Tiangang is a little impatient.
Previously, he was inside.
It's a pity that Wang Can won't let him come out. He must wait until both sides take action before letting him come out.
Yuan Tiangang strode out, stood beside Wang Can, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Xiao Batian, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao County Magistrate, you want to take Wang Can away, but you can't!"
Xiao Batian is also a fifth-rank official and can be ranked in the imperial court, so he has met Yuan Tiangang. When he saw Yuan Tiangang, he had a look of surprise on his face.
Immediately, Xiao Batian returned to normal.
Xiao Batian said sternly: "Yuan Jianzheng, it is reasonable for me to arrest Wang Can and take him to the Chang'an County government office. Changsun Chong sued Wang Can for beating him, and I need him to go to the county government office to cooperate with the investigation and interrogation."
Yuan Tiangang said in a deep voice: "County Magistrate Xiao, I heard your conversation just now clearly, and I listened to it word for word. If you want to take Wang Can away, I can tell you that I will immediately
Enter the palace and tell your majesty about this. You must know that your majesty came to the royal residence as a guest last night and paid a visit to the prince. It is impossible for you to take away Wang Can."
Xiao Batian's expression changed drastically.
Wang Can actually has a relationship with the emperor.
Especially the Yuan Tiangang in front of him was originally a confidant of the emperor and a person with a very special status. Now that Yuan Tiangang is by Wang Can's side, it is quite difficult to deal with Wang Can.
At this moment, Xiao Batian felt that he was in a dilemma. He looked at Changsun Chong with a reproachful look in his eyes. Previously, he had asked Changsun Chong if Wang Can had any background, but Changsun Chong said that he had no background.
Now, Yuan Tiangang is involved.
This is a difficult person.
He is also someone not easy to mess with.
Xiao Batian took a deep breath. He was not a stubborn person, nor was he someone who insisted on taking away Wang Can. He came now because he was entrusted by Changsun Chong. Since he could not complete it, Xiao Batian said: "Changsun
Young Master, as a fifth-grade county magistrate, I can no longer interfere with today’s matter, I’m sorry!”
"withdraw!"
Xiao Batian gave the order directly and retreated decisively.
