The steward got up and ran, his round body was very flexible, and he shouted as he ran: "Amazing, there is a strong man in broad daylight, come quickly, come quickly!" ”

The sound of footsteps sounded, and five or six men poured out of the hall, and three or four servants who were sweeping came from the corner of the courtyard. Steward Ma fled to the steps, pointed at Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er who were standing in the courtyard and shouted, "It's those two strong men, even the door has been demolished, is this worth it?" Go and take them down. ”

Seven or eight servants hurriedly took the sticks and wooden forks in their hands, quickly gathered around, and asked with fierce eyes.

Wang Yuan waved the dust in front of him, and looked at the people in front of him coldly: "I heard it clearly, we are here to find Zhao Fangzheng, and we have nothing to do with others." If you have itchy skin, you will come up and look for it, and I don't mind loosening your skin. ”

Several servants looked at each other, and Steward Ma scolded behind him: "Zheng Hu, what are you still doing in a daze? Still don't take them yet? Do you feed you for rice? Take them, and I will give you a reward. ”

A strong man spat at the mouth and held up a wooden stick and shouted, "Brothers, take the reward." ”

The strong man took the lead, and the rest of the people rushed up, and the sticks and wooden forks fell one after another to greet Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er. Wang Yuan didn't even move, and he knew that it would not be his turn to do it himself.

Sure enough, the white shadows around him flickered, the ping-pong was chaotic, the sticks and wooden forks flew everywhere, and the screams in the smoke and dust flew one after another. When the dust settled, seven or eight servants on the ground rolled and screamed. The strong man named Zheng Hu was the most seriously injured, and his forearm was broken alive, and he was killing a pig.

Steward Ma was so frightened that his face turned pale, trembling and speechless, Wang Yuan sneered and approached step by step, and asked coldly: "Steward Ma, it's time to take us to see Zhao Fangzheng." ”

Butler Ma stammered and was about to speak, when he heard an old cough coming from the back of the hall, and an angry voice came: "Butler, what are you doing in the front yard?" Ping Pong is noisy, do you still let me live in peace? It's getting more and more ridiculous. ”

"Old ...... Old man...... there are people who ...... Broke in. Steward Ma stammered while retreating, and his back almost hit Zhao Fangzheng, who was entering the hall through the back door.

"What is the intrusion, what are you doing in a daze? It hurts to step on my feet. Zhao Fang, who was wearing a royal blue embroidered robe, frowned and shouted angrily.

"Master, they just broke into the house." Steward Ma hurriedly raised his hand and pointed to Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er who were standing at the bottom of the steps outside the hall.

Zhao Fangzheng was stunned, walked quickly to the door of the hall, and stood at the bottom of the stairs looking at the servants rolling in the yard in a daze.

"Who are you? Breaking into a private house in broad daylight is so bold. Is there no royal law? Zhao Fangzheng shouted loudly, he didn't recognize the person in front of him as Wang Yuan.

At this time, Wang Yuan is no longer the tattered Wang Yuan he wore when he was in Yong'an Fang, and he looked poor. Although Wang Yuan is only wearing cloth clothes at this moment, as the so-called 'dwelling and qi and nourishing the body', once a person is developed, his temperament and demeanor and even his appearance will be judged like two people.

"Zhao Fangzheng, how forgetful are the nobles, what's the matter? Don't you recognize me? Wang Yuan sneered and looked at Zhao Fang Zhengdao.

Zhao Fangzheng looked at Wang Yuan carefully when he heard this, and was suddenly startled, and a smile appeared on his face and said, "Wang Erlang? Is that you? ”

Wang Yuan sneered and was silent.

"Sure enough, hey, forgive the old man for his clumsiness, he didn't even recognize it as Bachelor Wang, Steward Ma, why did you offend Bachelor Wang? Do you know that he is my Yong'an Fang...... Target...... Person? Now he is a famous man in Chang'an, and he was appointed by His Majesty to enter the Hanlin Academy. ”

Zhao Fangzheng originally wanted to say that Wang Yuan was originally a fangding of Yong'an Fang, but after thinking about it, this can't be said, now Wang Yuan must be very taboo about being a fangding before, so he changed his words in time.

Steward Ma was stunned, blinked and looked at it carefully, patted his thigh and said, "Oh, isn't this the water that washed the Dragon King Temple?" It turned out to be an old neighbor, but I didn't recognize it. ”

Zhao Fangzheng laughed and said: "Bachelor Wang came to the cold house, and it was shining." Mr. Wang, you have been ...... by Li Zuoxiang since No, no, it should be that after Li Shizhi forcibly took him to the poetry meeting, we never met again. Fortunately, you had the foresight to leave that Li Shizhi. When Li Shizhi sent someone to invite you, I felt that it was inappropriate. Fortunately, you are shrewd enough to see through his details, and you broke away from him in time. The old man admires you very much...... Yes! ”

Zhao Fangzheng's tirade was ended by a loud slap, and Wang Yuan picked up his slap and slapped the disgusting face in front of him. With just one slap, Zhao Fangzheng was knocked down on the steps, and blood spurted from his nose and mouth.

Steward Ma exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward to help. Li Xin'er stepped forward and kicked Steward Ma's round body into the hall, and there was a sound of chattering against the table and chairs, mixed with the sound of tea cups and porcelain, and Steward Ma smashed the furnishings in the hall like a bowling ball.

Zhao Fang, who was dizzy, stood up, spit out a mouthful of blood foam in his mouth, looked at Wang Yuan and shouted, "Erlang, what are you ...... What is this for? Have I sinned against you with what words? ”

Wang Yuan leaned over and grabbed Zhao Fangzheng's neckline, approached him and said, "Old dog, you have offended me greatly, I'm afraid you don't know it yet." ”

Zhao Fangzheng swallowed and spitted at the mouth: "Erlang, there is something to say, where did the old decay offend you, you just said it." If I really offend you, I will apologize to you. We are also neighbors, so why bother hurting the harmony with our hands and feet. ”

Wang Yuan scolded: "Bah, if you want to be angry with me, you paid for Lan Xiang'er's life first, did you pay for it?" ”

Zhao Fangzheng's body shook and exclaimed, "Lan Xiang'er? You...... You...... What does that mean? ”

Wang Yuan said angrily: "You still pretend not to know? I ask you, how did Lan Xiang'er die? ”

Zhao Fang was swallowing and foaming, his eyes rolled a few times and said, "She...... She was born sick and died. ”

Wang Yuan raised his slap and slapped Zhao Fangzheng's mouth violently, Zhao Fangzheng was dizzy, covered his head and face, and shouted: "Wang Erlang, Lan Xiang'er is my concubine, what does it have to do with you when she is sick and dead?" You want to question me? Unless you kill me, I will not rest with you. ”

Wang Yuan stopped his hand and sneered: "That's right, your concubine naturally has nothing to do with me, but Lan Xiang'er is not what you want to marry, you should say hello to me before you marry her." ”

"You...... What do you mean by that? What does Lan Xiang'er have to do with you? ”

Wang Yuan reached into his arms, took out a contract, spread his hands in front of Zhao Fangzheng's eyes, and scolded angrily: "Old dog, you can see clearly. Lan Xiang'er was redeemed by me from Mo Sanniang in Qiuyue Building, she is my private property, my slave. You stole my slave and maid without my consent and married her home, and tortured her to death, and now you threaten me not to break with me? I'm going to see who doesn't break with whom. ”

Zhao Fangzheng suddenly understood, and just now he had been thinking about why Wang Yuan broke into the door so angrily and injured his slave. In broad daylight, this is a forced entry into a private house and beaten to death. But it turned out that it was because he didn't know that he had robbed his private property first. Although I don't know how this Lan Xiang'er became Wang Yuan's private property, the contract in front of me is real. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, forcibly seizing other people's private property is tantamount to robbery, and the crime is extremely serious. Unless the other party understands, not only will he be imprisoned, but he will also have to accept a hundredfold punishment.

Zhao Fangzheng was dumbfounded, and said dumbfoundedly: "The old man really didn't know that Lan Xiang'er was your private maid, she didn't say a word, and the old man thought that she was just a free body." Wang Erlang, Bachelor Wang, the old decay is definitely not intentional, you must know that she is your private property, how dare the old decay touch the slightest? ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "Now that this is for a bird? Not only did you forcibly occupy my personal slave, but also killed her, I won't reason with you about this, let's go to Jingzhao Mansion to theorize, and ask Jingzhao Mansion to adjudicate. ”

Wang Yuan grabbed Zhao Fangzheng's clothes and dragged them down the steps, and the hard steps were on Zhao Fangzheng's back, almost breaking his old waist. Zhao Fangzheng begged Wang Yuan bitterly while screaming, he knew the rules, and when he entered the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, he was talking with a board first. Not to mention anything else, this board alone may not be able to withstand it. I haven't learned the method of longevity yet. Moreover, after being beaten to the board, there will be a prison sentence, and he will be severely fined a huge amount of money, which is not a joke, and he can't go to the yamen if he is killed.

Wang Yuan ignored his pleas, and dragged him to the gate of the courtyard, Zhao Fangzheng's back was in unbearable pain, his hands were grabbing, and he grabbed something and never let go. It was the broken arm of Zheng Hu, the servant lying on the ground, who was caught, and this time it was painful, Zheng Hu, who had gradually calmed down, howled loudly again, and even kicked and scolded Zhao Fangzheng to let go.

Zhao Fangzheng was unwilling to let go, hugged Zheng Hu's broken arm tightly, and let Zheng Hu scold and kick. And this patience finally paid off, Wang Yuan couldn't drag the two of them, so he had to let go of him.

"For the sake of old friends, don't report to the official, let's be private. Good no good? Privately. Zhao Fang was gasping and pleading.
