Chapter 216: Cataclysm (4)
A group fight in Xiao Yingzhou's first born lasted for a long time, but it was actually not long.
When the news of the chaos reached the main ship, Lu Zhifu was still talking to a group of students and friends about the situation near Hangzhou. He is forty-seven years old this year, which is the prime age of the prime of life and officialdom, and now he is the prefect of a rich place like Hangzhou.
Today's southwest of Hangzhou Prefecture is a disaster, but for Lu Tuizhi, the problem is not big. Hangzhou is an important place of commerce and trade, water transportation, and there are Wude troops specially guarded, even if the bandits are prosperous, they are also rejected from the portal.
But of course, for those who have not been out of Hangzhou Mansion for a long time and have not been involved in dangerous places, the disaster of Fang La is not as peaceful as they imagined. Now many prefectures and counties in the southwest of Hangzhou have been swept in, evenly dividing the land, killing officials and rebelling, and even with the famine caused by a series of order collapses, starvation is all over the land, these things are unimaginable to everyone in Hangzhou, Lu Tuizhi and a few people sitting in the middle of the house have some news, but naturally there is no need to tell everyone too much.
At this time, in response to the uprising against Fang La, in the south of the Yangtze River, there was the Wuwei army led by Chen Shisheng in the south, and the Wusu army under Kang Fangting in the north, and the Wude army intercepted its east road in Hangzhou, at least in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the spread of bandits has been controlled. As long as after July, Lu Tuizhi will hold the water and grain routes to ensure that the country will have no worries, and Yanyun will be determined by a war on a different day, and this eternal achievement will be indispensable to his Lu Tuizhi.
"..............., so Kang Fangting used troops at the beginning of the year, and Fang La and his ilk met it, and they all fled in despair.
Although this problem is not fibrous, there are not many people who can be worried. It's a big deal before and after the autumn harvest, and I still need your help to do it......" When Lu Tuizhi said this, a soldier came in and reported to everyone about the chaos below. This first round of news is simple, as soon as he entered the husband, hooked up with the maid, and after being broken, he actually committed murder and injured people, and now he has injured more than ten Confucian students, and the most important news is that Lou Shuheng, the second son of the Lou family, was also beaten and fell into the lake.
"There are such fanatics?" Lu Tuizhi is a calm person, his hand slapped on the coffee table next to him, and he wrinkled his brows, "Who is it from?" ”
"I don't know if it's not me from Hangzhou, but a merchant from Jiangning."
After the messenger said this, everyone in the hall got up angrily for a while: "Is there such a thing? ”
"Is there no one in Hangzhou to deceive me!"
"As soon as you enter the wilderness, you dare to withdraw from the wilderness, Lord Lu, I'll go out and take a look!"
These people were filled with indignation, and Lu Tuizhi had already frowned and got up: "Where is this person now?"
If such a thing happened, could it be that the sergeant who arranged it below couldn't stop it? ”
To his status, he rarely listened to the one-sided words of a momentary indignation. The sergeant who reported the news came over when he saw that something was wrong and that the situation was not good, and he did not know about the next step of the exhibition, so he had to say, "Someone has gone to stop it." At this time, someone in the hall was already angrily out of the hall to check what was going on, Lu Tuizhi strode out of the hall to see, and another middle-aged man came in and saluted him, this person was his staff next to him, named Zhuo Qingran, probably also outside to see what happened, Lu Tuizhi asked: "Qingran, how is that madman?" Have you ever won it? ”
Zhuo Qingran said that someone had just pulled out a knife and was then restrained, and then lowered his voice slightly: "... After that, Vice General Yuan arrived and fought with him, and the two sides fought hard, and then confronted the man for a moment before he ......"
"That person actually fought against Yuan Dingqi?" Lu Tuizhi frowned and interrupted the other party's speech, that Yuan Dingqi is a deputy general in the Wude Army, it is said that the martial arts are strong, and Lu Tuizhi also knows. Zhuo Qingran was stunned, and then nodded.
"It's just a knife, no winner. After a moment of confrontation, the scholar abandoned the knife, also because his wife arrived, and Lou Shuwan in the crowd also came out to stop the two parties, and seemed to know the couple. When the student sees this, there may be something wrong, so he should report it to the adult, and should not be neglected. And the man was holding an invitation card from the money office. ”
"Money is still money"
"Qian Gong."
"I've got it, let's go and see."
Lu Tuizhi nodded, now there are several in Hangzhou, Qian Mu Tangchang, and the Qian family is the most famous.
However, Qian Xiwen is hopeful, visits and lectures on weekdays, is approachable, and does not interfere in all kinds of trivial matters involving interests. A few years ago, there was a great drought in Hangzhou, and the gathering in Liqiu was led by Qian Xiwen, because of the overall situation. It was also because of the fame of him, Mu Bochang, Chang Yuan and others that Xiong Ruming, who was the prefect at the time, was able to hold the party well, and it also became Xiong Ruming's biggest political achievement in the future. ,
After the major events of that year, Qian Xiwen no longer worried about all kinds of trivial matters in the second year, and the interests of the Qian Mansion were naturally maintained by the people of the Qian clan.
In this case, the post made by Qian Xiwen himself and the post by Qian Fu certainly have different meanings.
Before this side had passed, there was already a commotion in the hall, and everyone was already pouring onto the main ship. If he was still under the boat, Lu Tuizhi could go down, but at this time, he didn't have to show up, he waited in the side hall for a while, listening to the situation over there.
At this time, everyone seemed to be angry that the Jiangning people came to Hangzhou to withdraw from the wilderness and other things, but thinking that the perpetrators and injured people had already boarded the boat, and there was a fight, no one was impulsive at this time. And in the crowd, it didn't seem to be one-sided, and there were still a few young people arguing with the crowd, as if trying to justify the perpetrator. Lu Tuizhi knew that these people were all juniors of the Qian family, and after thinking that person took out the invitation, although the Qian family did not know the inside story of Lu Dao, they had already begun to take the initiative to stand in line.
Qian Xiwen has a very high reputation in Hangzhou or the Qian family, but in Lu Tuizhi's opinion, it may be useless for several young people of the Qian family to stand in line this time. The difference in geography, after all, that person is guilty of public anger, he can only favor the Hangzhou side, and even if he has Qian Xiwen's invitation, it is not necessarily how deep the relationship between the two sides really is, with Qian Xiwen's celebrity xìng ge, he was lecturing in the countryside and met a person who was slightly higher in enlightenment, and it was not difficult to imagine how much stakes there were in the stakes of Zhang Ming's stab and invitation on a whim, but it may not be big.
He was now suspicious of Qian Xiwen's attitude, and secondly, he was also surprised by this matter. After beating more than ten people, the person who could confront Yuan Dingqi thought that he should be a man with three big and five rough, but I heard that he was just a scholar, and he said that he was a son-in-law, and then the information came that he might be a famous talent in Jiangning. For a moment, he was also a little curious, wanting to see what the person outside was like.
There was a bustle to see, and the speed at which everyone gathered on the boat was also extremely fast, and after a while, Zhuo Qingran came in and said that the situation was almost over. Lu Tuizhi got up and walked out, and when he passed by the side of the ship, he saw Qian Yu, the chief housekeeper of the Qian family, who was being led over here, and Lu Tuizhi was not slacking off on this old man: "The old gentleman has heard about Fang Shisheng?" I don't know what Qian Gong means? ”
"The master will come later, and the old man is afraid that the lord of the mansion will have doubts. So come first.
That Ning Liheng is..."
He whispered a few words to Lu Tuizhi, and Lu Tuizhi frowned deeply at this time: "This matter...... It's a little harder...... The Lord of the Mansion acted impartially. The old man has seen Ning Liheng once, this person is quite angry, not a reckless and impulsive person, maybe there is an inside story in it. Of course, if he really dared to commit murder. If he commits the wrath of the people, the master's side will never tolerate him......"
Lu Tuizhi nodded, he had a little idea of the Qian family's situation, but he felt that it was more difficult to handle the situation. He went all the way out of the hall, and when he reached the hall, the crowd was a little quieter, and a few people rushed up suddenly, demanding that he be the culprit of dignity, and in the process there were obviously wounded who were beaten.
Sweeping his gaze, Lu Tuizhi took a look at the situation in the hall.
At this time, dozens of round tables with six columns and seven rows in the hall were probably full. Originally, there were arranged seats here, but now they are naturally all random, and near the few round tables in the front row are the people involved, the injured scholars, the scholars who participated in the matter and obviously stood on the side of the Lou family stood for more than four tables, and the doctors were treating them with medicine, and there was a sound of shēn groaning, but when they saw that the prefect had arrived, they couldn't help themselves.
The perpetrators were supposed to be a family sitting at the round table in the front row of the third column, there were only four people, and the scholar who stood calmly was young, and it was hard to imagine that such a young person would have such a temperament. He should have been punched a few times in the face, the corners of his mouth were slightly blue, the skin was broken, and there should be blood stains overflowing, but he wiped it off.
The green shirt was already a little messy, but the injuries were much lighter than those who were beaten.
On a chair beside him, a woman with a calm expression was sitting, holding his hand, holding a handkerchief in one hand, and wiping the wounds from his fists when he hit someone.
Compared with the scene of a famous doctor holding a medicine box bandage, there is only a basin of water on the table here, and I know that after this kind of thing, it is impossible for a doctor to dare to treat the scholar here, and his wife can't get medicine and bandages if she wants to, so she has to wipe it with a hand towel dipped in water first. , next to a girl dressed as a maid, cried, it should be the maid in the incident.
The other man, who was also about 20 years old and had not been beaten, was a relative who had come with the family, and it seemed that the woman who was his wife had two cousins with her, and that this should have been one of them. There were only four of them in the six columns of the hall table, but they sat in front of the third column, not shrunk to the side in a low-key manner, which was somewhat intriguing.
In front of the hall, Tang Xiuxuan of the Tang family had already arrived, Lu Tuizhi went over to greet him, and the old man said: "Although Lord Fuzun tried this matter impartially, if this person really misbehaved, I believe that Qian Gong would never harbor the madman." ”
"That's right."
Lou Lin had already arrived at this time, and the head of the Lou family was obviously extremely angry about the injury on the second son's face like a pig's head, and his eyes were also dark. At this time, at the front of the hall, he was actually confronting the hurtful son-in-law, and the situation was ...... It's extremely weird.
The momentum of the two sides seems to be somewhat comparable.
Lou Jinlin is a well-known ruthless person in Hangzhou, not a gangster's ruthlessness, but the Lou family does not have the background behind Qian Mutang Chang's family, his family can get to this point, Lou Jinlin's means are quite domineering in the eyes of the outside world, if it is evaluated, it is not an exaggeration to give him a heroic positioning. He is sometimes moody, but if he wants to do it, he rarely gives people a way back. This man in his fifties who is half-white now, once he is angry, it is difficult for ordinary people to stand that kind of pressure.
At this time, almost the entire hall was standing behind him, and when he came over with a calm face, even a few young children of the Qian family had already lived in it for a while......
A young man named Ning Liheng was standing there, looking at him with a smile. His wife stood up, still quietly bowed to the building, perhaps greeting, and then stopped talking, she stood a little behind her husband's side, and held the back of her husband's broken hand, the temperament of the couple, but it didn't seem to retreat in the slightest.
The so-called confrontation is such a thing, who has the upper hand and who has the upper hand has always been difficult to say, ordinary young people will say that they will not retreat even if they face anyone, but that is just gritting their teeth and holding on, "real" momentum, it is never a decision to decide whether to retreat and bow down. With the strength that Lou Jinlin has mastered now, in the case of this kind of Qianfu in the hall, even people of similar age and reputation are inevitably weak, and young people are inevitably weak-hearted, or hysterical, or forced to hold their heads high, even if they dare to swear in front of Lou Jinlin, in the eyes of others, it is just like a small tool, and God will take it. But there is no such thing at the moment, the scholar's posture is natural, and the smile can't be seen to be half hard.
To be honest, when the building was about to open its mouth and fell in the eyes of everyone, the other side was still a little weak, but it was a young couple in their early twenties, no matter how difficult the situation was today. Before Lu Tuizhi passed, the building over there said vaguely: "...... I have a relationship with Boyong, and you and Shuheng should be brother and sister. And Liheng, you should also be called brothers, I don't know what Shuheng did, you actually gave him such a heavy hand......"
He was harsh in his accusations, first at the woman named Su Tan'er, and with a little contempt and anger towards the scholar. Su Tan'er raised her eyes to speak, and the scholar next to her raised his hand and patted her shoulder, this move was understated and not deliberate, but it was also after this moment, the scholar almost naturally took over the entire pressure from Lou Near, and seemed to turn the entire yīn heavy breath caused by Lou Near's anger into child's play.
His response was simple and sincere: "Regarding this matter, I still want to ask the brother of the Lou family, not only Shibo, but I am also a little strange." ”
Lou Shuheng became like that, he felt strange, but his whole person seemed to be taken for granted, Lou Jinlin stared at him, Ning Yi looked back, his gaze gradually changed, it was half loud, Lou Jinlin laughed angrily, and lù out two rows of tooth blame: "You, very good." ”
Ning Yi still just looked at him, Lou Lin Fang was the cruel gaze towards the junior, but Ning Yi also seemed to look at the junior's eyes, frowning slightly, there was also a bit of boredom in his calmness, Lou Lin had never encountered this kind of response when facing a twenty-year-old young man, and his heart was full of anger.
At this time, Lu Tuizhi had already come over to this side.
