Although mining in the Song Dynasty was open to the people, it was basically a strong local with a strong background to be qualified to open mines, and the Lu family occupied almost seven or eight mines in the entire northeast of Shandong, involving iron ore, gold ore, and copper mines. In those years, there were almost no mining machinery, and it was all due to a large amount of human labor, so there were also a lot of personnel. Therefore, there are many mine guards of the Lu family, and there are also three or five hundred iron guards in Dengzhou City.

To say that the Lu family has always been good, and the wealth is not fake, but it is also passable. It's just that Lu Tiannan's generation is in charge of the family, and he has three sons, the eldest son, Lu Lai, who is in charge of a large iron mine in Laiyang. The second son, Lu Jin, is in charge of the gold mine in Zhaoyuan. The third son is called Lu Liang, who is not a serious person, he does everything except good deeds, bullies men and women, and does all kinds of evil. Lu Tiannan has spoiled him since he was a child, and he has been spoiled and sick. Today's incident is nothing to him, usually don't say it's a table, but if you want to empty the entire floor, then others have to let him, who makes his family powerful.

The shopkeeper quickly called the boss, the boss was a middle-aged man who was old and serious, and persuaded Chao Gai: "The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, there is no need to stay, hurry up, I will give you ten taels of silver for the travel fee, don't take the land route, take the water route, the Lu family has no power at sea." ”

Chao Gai said: "The tea hasn't been finished yet, not to mention that I have to wait for Lu Gongzi to apologize to my brother." But don't worry, it's not easy to do business, and when they come, we'll go outside and fight it, so we won't damage your shop. ”

"Okay, I'm also doing my duty." The teahouse owner had no choice but to give up when he saw the persuasion.

Jiao Ting said: "Brother, fighting is different from fighting, you can't fight to the death, there are many people fighting, only a few of us will inevitably suffer, I think it's better to call people." ”

"There are only ten of us in Sister-in-law Gu's hotel, and the number is a little less. The dock also has a branch of our trading house, but it is not useful. Chen Da went to call the hotel's pro-soldier reconciliation treasure over. Chao Gai said.

"Yes." Chen Da went out with his fists clenched and rushed to Gu's sister-in-law's inn without mentioning it.

It was said that Chao Gai, Jiao Ting, Shi Xiu, Shi Jin, and Yang Chun then ate tea, and they all ate some snacks because they considered that they would have to fight for a while.

After waiting for a stick of incense, I didn't see Lu Sangongzi call someone to come. Shi Xiu couldn't wait a little and said, "It's not coming, the tea for a fight is cold." ”

Chao Gai smiled and said: "Be patient, in fact, I didn't plan to compete with such a son-in-law, but a few days ago, we had two new brothers named Zheng Tianshou." ”

"It's the original Qingfeng Mountain three masters." Shi Jindao.

"Yes, that's it. This person is not only good at kung fu, but also proficient in the exploration and mining of silver mines. Zheng Tianshou discovered a huge silver mine in Zhaoyuan, not too far from the Lu family's gold mine, once it is mined, it will inevitably conflict with the Lu family, so today is just to explore the bottom of the Lu family. Chao Gai explained.

After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping on the street, and people kept shouting: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, don't let them run, just in front of the teahouse, fence up, fence up." ”

Shi Jin looked at the window and sighed: "Good boy, it's such a big battle, there must be two hundred people here, all dressed in black and holding whistle sticks." Looks like it's not easy to mess with. ”

The other guests of the teahouse have already left, but there are many people on the street, and they are all talking about where this came from, and they are going to be unlucky and provoke Lu Sangongzi.

Chao Gai said: "Although the scale is small, it is also a battle, and the command of this battle will be handed over to Shi Jin." ”

"Okay, the current situation is menacing, the enemy is menacing, it is not appropriate to go out to fight, let's go to the first floor. Shi Xiu and I guarded the gate, Yang Chun guarded the window, and Jiao Ting protected my brother to sit firmly in the army and continue to drink tea. Shi Jin said.

"Well, good way. Don't worry too much, if they dare to make a dead move, then just fight. Chao Gai said.

A group of five people came to the first floor, and Shi Jin and Shi Xiumen stood at the door like gods. Yang Chun was in the hall, and Chao Gai and Jiao Ting found a table in the hall to drink tea and chat.

This group of people is not in a hurry to attack, the fight is to build momentum, the first batch of 200 people to come are the Lu family's iron guards, all of them are professionally trained teams, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of ordinary local troops. After coming, he didn't fight, but just surrounded the teahouse. Then after waiting for a while, a fat big bald head, with a bright head, he was not a monk, he just deliberately shaved his head, his head was big and his neck was thick, a gold chain was hung around his neck, he was wearing a mink coat, and he was menacing, and he also came over with more than 50 people. Then followed by four more groups of people, all of whom were gangsters of Dengzhou City, who usually had a good relationship with Lu Sangongzi, and specially came to help. There are almost 500 people in total, which can be described as huge.

At this time, Lu Sangongzi was late, riding a white horse, swaying and arriving, and did not get off the horse, and said slowly: "Arrest people for this prince and beat them slowly, I want to torture them little by little, dare to provoke me in Dengzhou City, I don't know what is dead or alive." Lu Sangongzi scolded viciously.

The big bald head who came first said: "The third prince will rest for a while, don't bother you to do it, Ding San will go and catch them to your horse." ”

It turned out that this big bald head was called Ding San, Ding San waved his hand, took fifty brothers, took crab steps, and went to the door of the teahouse.

Holding a stick more than half a meter long in his hand, he pointed at Shi Jin and said, "Acquaintances hurry up and kowtow to the third prince to make amends, maybe I can spare you." ”

Shi Jinle was happy, he dared to come out with this kind of goods, and he didn't answer immediately, and hit Ding San's jaw with a fist, and the two teeth came out with the blood, Ding San stumbled, and he couldn't speak clearly, and said to his brothers: "Don't give it to the old chicken." ”

Ding San's subordinates are also more than 50 people, and few people usually dare to provoke them, and when they saw that the boss had been beaten and repaid, they immediately swarmed with short sticks.

Shi Jin and Shi Xiu snatched their sticks with their hands, and the tiger entered the flock of sheep and fought, either hitting the head or the arm, and saw the figures flashing, screaming one after another, and in a few minutes, more than a dozen people were beaten on the head and bleeding down.

Ding San felt faceless, and his teeth hurt, so he hid behind the crowd.

Lu Sangongzi also felt faceless, and immediately commanded the iron guard to attack. At this time, there was a great chaos at the back of the team, and Ding San's group of remnants who had just retreated to the back of the team were defeated and beaten hard, and there was a big man in front of him, none other than Bian Xiang and a hundred soldiers in leather armor in the mountains. It was the fifty personal soldiers of the mountain platoon and Chao Gai who tore apart the iron guard team in an instant and came to the teahouse, the soldiers were guarding outside with bows and crossbows, and Bian Xiang went in.

"Bian Xiang was late, which frightened my brother." Bian Xiang said.

Chao Gai smiled: "This little battle still doesn't scare me, didn't you go back, how did you come back again?" ”

Bian Xiang said: "We went back yesterday, and we didn't go far before we met a caravan that came here to pull goods, and there were a lot of items transported this time, mainly sea fish and other winter New Year's goods, which were of high value, so we asked the navy to escort them." Zhu Wujun agreed as soon as he discussed it, but it was obviously impossible for the navy to protect so many of them. Zhu Junshi was worried that he had just exterminated the pirates, and he was afraid that the remnants of the bandits would threaten his brother's safety, so he let his brother's personal soldiers and our mountain platoon come back, escorting the merchant ships and protecting my brother at the same time, we returned this morning, just returned to the dock, I brought people to Gu's sister-in-law hotel to look for my brother, and it happened that Chen Da went over to report that he had fought with the evil boy in the city, so he rushed over. ”

"Oh, okay, it's just the right thing to be strong, so as not to be looked down upon by Dengzhou's evil youth." Chao Gai said.

A hundred men in leather armor, each holding either a bow or an arrow or a crossbow in their hands, were fierce and unusual. The iron guards brought by Lu Sangongzi were a little dumbfounded, they were holding whistle sticks, and those who used whistle sticks were not looking for death when dealing with archers, so they didn't dare to go up one by one.

Lu Sangongzi scolded viciously: "Isn't it just a group practice from a small county town, dare to come to Dengzhou to play tricks, wait." ”

After a while, there was another great chaos in the streets, and at least 200 people armed with waist knives came quickly, and the official position of the leader was a arrester, which could be regarded as a large official position.

This person is in his forties, with a cross-faced face, and he is usually used to handling unjust, false and wrongful cases, and has always been a lackey of the Lu family. After getting the report of Lu Sangongzi, he immediately came over, and rushed forward with the catch without asking any reason.

Bian Xiang shot an arrow under the foot of this meaty face, and shouted: "You go one step further and try, I promise to let your neck penetrate." ”

"Who dares to attack the imperial court to arrest quickly, but I am arresting Li Bian." The horizontal meat face was originally called Li Bian.

Bian Xiang smiled: "It doesn't matter if you are flat or round, you dare to try it." ”

Li Bian looked like a bald-tailed dog, and said: "If you beat a good person on the street, you should be held accountable." Now only the leader of the Chao Gai is arrested, and the others can be ignored. ”

Chao Gai heard it clearly in the hall, and said, "Bian Xiang, bring Li Bian in." ”

Bian Xiang brought Li Bian in, Li Bian's momentum was still fierce, he was not afraid, because the skin on his body gave him courage.

"You are Li Bian, what is the matter with me?" Chao Gai asked.

"Someone sued you for beating others, fighting, fighting, come back to the yamen with me." Li Bian said arrogantly.

Chao Gai said: "Have you investigated the case, I also sued Lu Sangongzi for beating us." ”

Li Bian said angrily: "I advise you to get acquainted with each other, when you get to Dengzhou City, it is Lao Tzu's territory, even if it is a dragon, you have to lie down for me, don't let me be rough." ”

Jiao Ting punched it with a big fist, hit his face with two fists, slapped a panda eye, and scolded: "How can you talk to my brother." ”

"Don't hit him in the face." Chao Gai said.

Jiao Ting's big fist slammed Li Bian's straw belly, bang, bang, bang, and the bitter gall of the four fists was spit out.
