Early this morning, Li Ce received a report, saying that the merchants of the Royal Street had gone on strike, and now the entire Royal Street has become a mess, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion have all gone up, but the manpower is still insufficient.

The palace marshal Fan Tingzhao was not in the camp at this time, and the other troops all understood that this matter was not trivial, and no one wanted to go to this troubled water, and they all did not dare to transfer the army on the pretext that there was no order.

"My lord, the closest to the royal street is the forbidden army of the palace front division, not to mention that Wan Shengjun has the responsibility of inspecting the capital, and now that such a thing has happened, you can't sit idly by." Wang Renjing is also an old oilman, he said this to drag the former boss of the palace into the water, in case of a big trouble, then the charge of ineffective security is not only borne by our yamen, and your palace boss will not be able to get out of it when the time comes!

Ge Huaimin, the commander of the front division of the palace, looked at Wang Renjing suspiciously, this yamen catcher has a good mouth, and he actually wants to bring trouble to the east and let the front secretary of the palace take this hot potato, which is really hateful! If you insist on not sending troops, if someone investigates it a day later, you will have to follow the lawsuit, but where is the fish and dragons mixed in the royal street, it is said that this incident was provoked by Zhao Ji, the king of Xiaoyuan, this troubled water is not easy to travel......

Ge Huaimin glanced at the commanders of the various armies, everyone looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, it seemed that everyone's hearts were very bright, no one wanted to wade into this troubled water, he was secretly worried about who to send, his eyes glanced at Li Ce, who was standing at the end, and suddenly the corners of his mouth raised.

"Well, since Wang Zhutou said that Wan Shengjun has the responsibility of inspecting the capital, then Li Ce, you should go with Wang Zhutou." Ge Huaimin said.

Li Ce didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns, wasn't it just a few merchants making trouble? No matter how big a is, he was embarrassed to trouble the forbidden army, so he arched his hand and said, "My subordinates will go and gather their subordinates." ”

Wang Renjing was a little reluctant when he saw that the commander of the Wansheng Army was so young, the situation in the royal street was complicated, and the properties of many court officials were there, and now their family was making a lot of trouble, and there were some unknown scholars who followed the coaxing, the situation was so chaotic, could such a teenager be sent to calm the scene?

Li Ce saw his doubts, and couldn't help but say coldly: "Wang Zhutou, are you still leaving?" If you don't leave, our Wansheng Army has other things, but I don't have time to accompany you here. "Dare to look down on me, Li Ce is angry in his heart, being young does not mean that he has no ability!

Wang Renjing said embarrassedly: "If the adults say something, without further ado, let's set off quickly." ”

"Di Qing, lead you to command 2,000 men and horses to follow me to take a look." Li Ce said.

At this time, Yujie is like a chaotic vegetable market, the prosperity of the past is gone, just like a chaotic concert scene, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion are struggling to maintain law and order, and the merchants are unwilling to try to break the blockade of the officials.

Many of the shops on the royal street are the property of the imperial court officials, and the reason why the troublemakers are so arrogant is also the instigation behind these officials, and the officials naturally understand this truth, so they try their best to persuade and dare not suppress it.

But in addition to the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, there is another group of officers and soldiers, it seems that it is the army of the Infantry Division, this forbidden army is not as restrained as the officials, under the leadership of the leading general, all the officers and soldiers take spears upside down, and smash at the troublesome merchants, who comes out to beat whom!

"The Great Song Forbidden Army actually oppressed its own people so much, do you still have the royal law?" A group of scholars here scolded angrily.

As soon as the general of the forbidden army turned around and saw this group of scholars, he said with a smile on his face: "The merchants are making trouble, what should you show talent do?" If you don't read a good sage book, you come here to make trouble! ”

"The entire Royal Street is out of business, and there is nowhere to buy a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, how can I still read?" A scholar shouted.

"I am waiting to study and gain fame in order to serve the imperial court, and now there are people who are so reckless and expropriating, and in order to satisfy their personal desires, they ignore the wealth of the entire Great Song Dynasty, as the people of the Great Song Dynasty, how can we sit idly by?" Another scholar shouted.

Now rumors are spreading in the capital, saying that Zhao Ji, the king of Xiaoyuan, lost all his money by betting on the Juju race, and is now frantically collecting money everywhere.

The general of the forbidden army said with a cold face: "Don't be embarrassed!" Don't rely on yourself to read two broken books to teach others casually, Lao Tzu's fist doesn't care if you are illiterate or not! ”

When the scholars heard that he was so insulting, they were furious, and some of them were indignant: "Illiterate and ignorant! ”

When the general heard that these poor sours dared to insult him in a grand manner, he was instantly furious, and he poked his hand at the scholars and ordered: "Come on, drive out this group of rotten people for me!" ”

The officers and soldiers got the order to hold their spears and began to drive away the scholars, the scholars played tricks, and they really wanted to move where were the opponents of these officers and soldiers, some people tried to resist twice, but they were severely whipped, and several of them were so angry that they kept scolding the officers and soldiers, and they were pulled out and taken care of alone, until they were beaten to the point that their heads were bleeding.

As soon as the scholars saw that their companions were beaten like this, they were all enthusiastic, and they didn't care about any elegance, they rolled up their sleeves and fought with the officers and soldiers, as soon as these scholars took the lead, the merchants also joined in the camp of the struggle, and the whole scene was completely out of control! All kinds of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs are flying all over the sky.

The officers and soldiers and generals couldn't help but be even more furious when they saw it, a group of Diao people dared to openly disobey the officials and soldiers! The reason why these people dared to resist was because of the leaders of those scholars, and he glanced at all the scholars with a cold gaze, and ordered: "Arrest all these troublesome Xiucai in prison for me!" ”

"Let go of me, let go of me!" The scholars struggled and shouted.

"Let you make trouble!" The officers and soldiers spat and cursed, and at the same time kept serving with their fists and feet.

"Stop!" A loud roar rang out like thunder.

There was a commotion on the periphery of the crowd, "Get out of the way!" Move! With a burst of scolding, the crowd parted into a passage, and a young man in brocade walked out, followed by a group of officers and soldiers in armor.

The previous officer and soldier general squinted at the young man and said, "Which division are you the forbidden army?" ”

The young man didn't answer him, his face was a little cold, and he pointed to the scholar lying on the ground and said, "You gave the order?" ”

"Yes, these people ......"

"Smack!" A resounding slap in the face!

"You! Do you dare to beat Lao Tzu? ”

"I don't care which division you are, who is the master? Don't do this! If you have the ability to go to the border to fight the Liao army, what kind of ability is it to deal with unarmed scholars! The boy said coldly.

The general of the forbidden army was scolded by him, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, look at this young man's temperament, could it be the son of a prince and nobleman? No, he was followed by the Forbidden Army...... Damn, could it be that the little commander in the army is running this uncle? Thinking of this, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and a big ear scraper fanned the young man in front of him!

The young man sneered, grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and the general screamed in pain, but he didn't expect this kid's kung fu not to force himself to be bad, just careless, he grabbed his wrist, and now his wrist hurts terribly, he wants to open his mouth to beg for mercy but seeing that the other party is a young man in his twenties, and in front of so many subordinates, he really can't open this mouth.

"Who the hell are you? I am the commander of the guard infantry Si Tianwei army Huang Daya, you dare to beat me? ”

"Huh, Huang Daya? I'll beat you so much that you don't have teeth! are all powerless scholars, you just scare them, you actually let people be ruthless, these people are the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty, can you afford to pay for the damage? Li Ce was annoyed that he had bullied the weak just now, and he kept increasing the force in his hands.

"Ahh Pain, pain...... I was also ordered to suppress it, we both belong to the forbidden army, little brother, you should know that the military order cannot be violated. Uncle Huang wailed.

"How will we, the victorious army, be in the same league as you! You remember, my name is Li Ce, and the former secretary of the palace is Marquis Yu. Li Ce saw that he had suffered, and as soon as he let go, he kicked him out.

Huang Daya covered his wrists, glanced at Li Ce resentfully, and threatened: "Okay, Li Ce, the front secretary of the palace, I remember!" Don't think that our guards are easy to mess with, you wait for me! ”

The scholars saw that they had someone to support them, and they had even more confidence, these Sven people had been beaten hard just now, and they didn't care about any poetry and book etiquette at this time, so they began to greet the women in Huang Daya's family......

Li Ce listened to it and said secretly, these scholars are not fuel-efficient lamps, no wonder they were beaten just now.

If Li Ce hadn't stopped it in time, I'm afraid they would have been beaten by those tiger-like officials and soldiers now, so at this time, they have all learned to be obedient, no one is willing to take the lead in stirring up trouble, I have to say that violence can't solve the problem, but it can temporarily suppress the problem.

"General, please take a step to speak." An old man stepped forward and said. This person is in his fifties, his eyes are bright, he is richly dressed, and he looks like a person with a background.

Although Li Ce was a little puzzled, he still walked to the side with him.

The old man took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and quietly handed it to Li Ce and whispered, "Little General, this is a little bit of old man's heart. ”

Li Ce looked at his treacherous eyes and knew that this old man didn't have any good ideas, so he didn't go to take the silver, but asked, "What do you mean, old man?" ”

"Just like the old man and invite the little general and the brothers to tea." The old man laughed.

"Uncle, you'd better say something first, right?"

"Hey...... The little general is really fast-talking, the old man's surname is Zhou, he is the housekeeper of the palace of Xiao Yuan, today this gang of Diao people actually made trouble, if the little general can help settle this matter, then my master will naturally not treat the little general badly. The old man said smugly.

Li Ce sneered after hearing this, Xiao Yuan Wang? Keju Sai, you sent someone to rob and kill Lao Tzu's account, I haven't settled it with you, today you have this thing again, if I don't give you some eye medicine, wouldn't I be too sorry for you!

Seeing Li Ce sneering, the old man said with some displeasure: "Isn't the little general unwilling to help?" ”

Li Cegang wanted to say: I'll help you uncle! But when he saw the silver in his hand, he suddenly thought about it and changed his words: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's just that I came this time with two thousand brothers, Steward Zhou, you only give such a little silver, isn't it ......" Seeing that the purse on Old Man Zhou's waist was bulging, there was obviously a lot of inventory, so he took out such an ingot and wanted to send the master? If I don't squeeze you dry, I won't be called Li Ce!
