Chapter 309: Pingyang County
Outside the Fengyang Building, there were a lot of pedestrians or drinkers who watched the excitement.
The official army reoccupied Luoyang and expelled An Qingxu's puppet Yan court, which made the merchants and people outside the city feel overjoyed and relaxed, and the number of people who came to call friends and linger in the wine shop increased day by day.
This probably shows the unpopularity of the An regime from one side. It's not that the An clan is so brutal and tyrannical, but that the An clan is from the Hu people, and the alien rule over the Han region will trigger resistance and rejection no matter what. It's almost a given.
According to thousands of years of humanistic tradition, being a visitor is probably inseparable from the mood. When An Lushan, An Qingxu's father and son were in power, the Yan army implemented a semi-terrorist blockade policy in Luoyang, and the whole city was under martial law and arrested people all over the city.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the Xue family is a nobleman like the Xue family, in the past, Xue Yan did not dare to openly gather the house slaves in the mansion to commit murder in public.
But when the Li Tang official army restored the absolute right to govern Luoyang City, the Xue family, as a close relative of the Li Tang clan, gradually grew up with the aristocratic arrogance that should not exist in the bottom of their hearts. This is actually a very strange and sad state of mind.
What kind of nobles do you say the Xue family is now? has been down-and-out for two or three generations, and the glory of the past has long been a thing of the past, plus there is an unbearable experience of being a thief, it is difficult to say whether it will be settled by the Li Tang Dynasty in the future, what kind of nobleman is it?
But the down-and-out aristocracy also felt superior to others.
Xue Yan didn't expect that as the little lord of the Xue family, he would go to the street to have a meal, and he took a fancy to a window position, but there were out-of-town drinkers who were not interested, not only did not welcome him, but also hurt people. How could Xue Yan, who had just recovered his spirit, swallow this evil breath?
Therefore, Xue Yan returned to the mansion and gathered many house slaves, and came towards Fengyang Tower with great momentum. He had to take down Kong Sheng and the others, beat them up and send them to the official, so that he could get out of his heart.
Seeing the Xue family's wanton move, the boss of Fengyang Building was taken aback. The shopkeeper hurriedly took his men to laugh and dissuade him. But Xue Yan came with anger, how could he listen to persuasion?
Kong Sheng and the three of them walked down the stairs slowly, and Wu Xianwu and Wu Xie walked in the forefront with murderous spirits, tightly protecting Kong Sheng in it. In fact, Kong Sheng is not an unrestrained person, and he can completely protect himself, but as a superior, he can't act at will on many public occasions, because such a self-surrender is detrimental to the official body.
Xue Yan pushed away the guy's blockade, raised his hand and pointed at Kong Sheng and sneered: "Someone." Take down these three thieves who committed murder and hurt people to this little lord and send them to justice! ”
Many of the Xue family's domestic slaves rushed up.
Wu Xian said angrily: "If you gather to make trouble, is there still the law of the Tang Dynasty in your eyes?" ”
One of the leading house slaves of the Xue family rushed over viciously: "Dog-day bastard, in Luoyang, the words of our little lord are Wang Fa!" hurt the people of our Xue family, do you still want to do this? ”
The slave pounced unscrupulously, frowned disdainfully, and then punched head-on. The iron fist as thick as an iron pestle struck the door of the slave's face, and the slave immediately screamed. The door blossomed and bled profusely, and he fell to the ground.
Wu Xie also began to fight back with a black face, the brothers are the best generals in the army, and their courage and personal force value are certainly worse than those of Tang Genshui, Nanyong, Li Biao, and Li Hu, but they are not known to be many times stronger than these slaves of the Xue family, so don't look at the large number of the Xue family. But when it comes to really making a move, it is not the opponent of the Wu brothers at all.
The so-called killing chickens with a knife is this truth.
The chickens and dogs jumped in Fengyang Tower, and it was a mess, and all the drinkers dodged out in embarrassment. Standing on the street, giggling and judging the excitement.
Kong Sheng put his hands behind his back and stared at the low-level confrontation between the Wu brothers and the Xue family's slaves as if nothing had happened. Seeing that there were more and more people watching the excitement outside, Kong Sheng frowned and snorted lowly.
When the Wu brothers heard this, they knew that their master was a little dissatisfied. Under the awe in his heart, his subordinates no longer showed mercy, and simply let go of their hands and feet and used to deal with the Xue family's house slaves like they dealt with the rebels, and soon the autumn wind swept the leaves and put more than a dozen seemingly tough house slaves on the ground, these house slaves groaned and screamed endlessly.
Xue Yan's face was as pale as dirt, he couldn't care about the subordinates who were thrown to the ground, and fled out in a panic. Wu Xian leaned over, without any idea of "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade", and kicked Xue Yan to the ground with one kick.
Wu Xianwu and Wu Xie restrained Xue Yan.
Kong Sheng walked out of Fengyang Building slowly, stood on the steps of the restaurant, ignored the focus of everyone's complicated eyes, stared condescendingly at Xue Yan, whose face was red and his shoulders trembled because of fear, and said lightly: "What crime should you be guilty of wantonly and recklessly, gathering crowds to commit murder, and ignoring the law?" ”
Xue Yan said in a trembling voice: "You...... Don't be arrogant, a certain family is the little lord of the Xue family, if you want to hurt me, you will violate the laws of the imperial court, but it is a capital crime to cut off your head! ”
"Little lord?" Kong Sheng laughed out loud: "The prince is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone after you are a mere Pingyang County?" Your Xue family has rebelled from thieves, and whether you can keep it in your lifetime is still two words, not only did you not think about it behind closed doors in the mansion, but ran out to wreak havoc on the market, which is extremely stupid. ”
"This little Langjun, if the dog is offended, Ben Jue apologizes for him here. Please also look at Benjue's face, let him go, let's turn big things into small things, you and I go our separate ways, how about it? As soon as the words fell, a dignified middle-aged man about forty years old walked out of the crowd, followed by several black-clothed domestic servants.
This person is Xue Sheng, the son of Pingyang County and the former supervisor of Shangyang Palace.
After An Qingxu and his party fled Luoyang, Xue Sheng was dull and panicked, so he thought about it behind closed doors. Although many former officials, subordinate officials and descendants of dignitaries of the Li Tang court were overjoyed and took the initiative to go to the officials and soldiers who "liberated Luoyang" to get close to Kong Shengtao, Xue Sheng did not do so, so he did not know Kong Sheng.
Xue Sheng knew that he had the scandalous experience of surrendering to the thief, although the Li Tang court might not pursue it, but he was unstable in his heart after all. In the past two days, he was still hiding in the study and quietly thinking about planning for the future, but unexpectedly, his family had already happily regarded the entry of the official army into the city as an opportunity for the Xue family to raise their eyebrows.
Xue Sheng was taken aback when he heard the report, and quickly brought someone here. In fact, he has been watching the excitement from the back just now, and if the people of the Xue family had the upper hand before, he would not have stood up. But things backfired, Kong Sheng's two subordinates were strong in martial arts, and Kong Sheng's person was very human at first glance, Xue Sheng took the initiative to stand up and try to resolve it based on various considerations.
