As soon as Wang Ruqian stepped out of the threshold, the door was closed with a "bang" behind him, shaking down a few leaves, and falling on his turban - the sky was dark, where was the moonlight very beautiful, the lights of the old courtyard in the song were brilliant as day, starting from the Wuding Bridge, to the end of the banknote street, the fire dragon meandered, shining the world, the Qinhuai River at night is also the most prosperous time, from the Jubaomen Water Pass to the Tongji Gate Water Pass, swimming back and forth, all night long, the spring red in the dream, the curtain flower language, people don't know what day and night—— However, at this time, Wang Ruqian did not have the slightest desire to have fun, his master and servant four were driven out of the Xiangzhen Pavilion, first of all, beware of being beaten, Wang Ruqian's eyes swept away, fortunately, those descendants of the King of Qi were scattered, and immediately turned his legs and ran in the direction of Wuding Bridge, he had a boat moored there, and then he had to leave the place as soon as possible, Zhang Yuan's kid was too vicious, and he planted the beating on him, in the night, it was difficult to argue, the descendants of King Qi had a lot of power in Jinling, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come to Jinling in the future - and he was happy to have nothing to do all the way, The four of the master and servant successfully returned to the boat under the Wuding Bridge, Wang Ruqian breathed a sigh of relief, washed his face, ordered the servant to cook tea, first set his mind, and then think about how to retaliate against the three Zhang brothers, especially Zhang Yuan, and Wang Wei's cheap maid, dared to accuse him face-to-face, this revenge is not a gentleman - the boat left the Wuding Bridge, slowly went down the river, and went to the opposite side of the Tribute Courtyard, seeing the Tribute Courtyard on the right bank is sparsely lit, the huge building complex is silent, but the old courtyard on the left bank is brilliantly lit, and the song blows the orchestra and boils, There are a lot of guestless Qinhuai painting boats temporarily moored on the shore, the boat Mei Ji Yan girl group fan lightly, green sideburns tilted bun, on the boat or whining flute, or Zheng Zheng playing the piano, attracting guests - Wang Ruqian decided to find a painting boat on the Qinhuai River to accompany him, for his own shock, so he ordered the boatman to lean the boat to the left bank of the river house, and suddenly heard someone on the shore shouting: "Huizhou famous man Wang Ruqian can be on this boat?" ”

Wang Ruqian's first feeling was "I am really not famous", and just as he was about to raise his voice to agree, he suddenly became vigilant, and ordered the boatman's servants to be silenced, he looked from the canopy window to the left bank, and saw a large group of people standing high and low on the shore, and immediately knew that something was wrong, and urgently ordered the boatman to sail the boat away from the left bank - there was already a shouting and scolding on the shore:

"It's the boat!"

"That's right, I followed this dog thief surnamed Wang all the way here, and beat him-"

"Fight this dog thief!"

“……”

Tiles and stones flew like raindrops, Wang Ruqian hurriedly ordered the servant to close the canopy window, but several tiles had already flown into the cabin, one of which hit his forehead, and immediately blood splattered five steps, Wang Ruqian hurriedly lay down, while ordering the servant to bandage him, while letting the boatman shout: "It was Shanyin Zhang Yuan who beat people, and it has nothing to do with Wang Ruqian of Huizhou——"

At this time, there was a lot of chaos, and which of the angry descendants of the King of Qi on the shore still came to listen to the people on the boat, and only flew like snow flakes to smash the boat, and some shouted: "Find a boat, chase after it, and beat the dog thief half to death and go to the official." ”

These descendants of the deposed king are accustomed to running rampant in the Jinling market, and they have suffered such a big loss tonight, and now they have gathered dozens of people, and they are going to beat Wang Ruqian out of anger, and they are chasing after them on the shore, and a few playful idlers forcibly occupy a painting boat, and use sticks to intimidate the boatmen to chase the boat in front of them - Wang Ruqian was shocked and shouted: "Hurry up and hold the boat, hurry!" Fast! ”

The three boatmen of the boat also know that the situation is critical, desperately rowing, all the way to Taoye Ferry rushing, this Qinhuai River cruise boat and more, the three boatmen are also considered to be the boat skills, did not collide with other boats, the descendants of the waste king held the painting boat is not fast, the boatman is not willing to die, gradually chased away, but those people on the shore still around the house over the obstacle along the river chasing, do not hold this Huizhou famous man does not stop, there are a few good runners, all the way to the Tongji Bridge to intercept - the boat crosses the Taoye Ferry, the people chasing on the shore have been thrown away, Wang Ruqian was slightly relieved, only then did he feel the pain in the forehead, and shed a lot of blood, although it has been bandaged now, but this inexplicable unwarranted disaster really annoyed him too much, he wanted to take a name as a concubine, which was very beneficial to his reputation as a celebrity, but he was in this predicament, and he was beaten, thinking that this was for Zhang Yuan to be beaten, Wang Ruqian was angry, touched a jade Ruyi, "snapped" and knocked it off, and said hatefully: "Zhang Yuan boy, I am inseparable from you!" Gritting his teeth and thinking about how to retaliate - the boatman suddenly shouted: "Wang Xianggong, there is a boat blocking the bridge in front!" ”

Wang Ruqian hurriedly probed out of the cabin to see, ten miles Qin Huai arrived at the Tongji Bridge where the prosperity was withering, the lights were thin, but in the dark night, but saw a boat in the middle of the river, which was obviously arranged by the descendants of the abolished king to stop them, Wang Ruqian panicked, shouted: "Stop the boat, stop the boat, go ashore quickly, find the patrol police to shop." ”

The boat docked on the right bank, Wang Ruqian climbed ashore, and the two healthy servants followed and ran north, this dark place, unfamiliar with life, and did not know where there was a police shop, ran out of breath, but saw a group of people stopped at the entrance of the square, shouted: "The dog thief surnamed Wang, where to escape!" ”

Wang Ruqian was so frightened that his soul was scattered, his bones were weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground, wanting to turn around and run away, but he had no strength.

Six or seven men with sticks in their hands surrounded them and scolded: "Dog thief, dare to beat our royal descendants, and if you don't break your dog's legs today, you won't show the majesty of our Zhu descendants——"

Wang Ruqian panted and said: "Wait, there is a meritorious name in the bottom, you are rude, I have something to say——"

The seven men hesitated for a moment, looked at Wang Ruqian's eyes, and one of them sneered: "It's just a foreigner, this world is the world of my Zhu family, you dare to offend me and other nobles, this is the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, do you understand?" ”

Another man waved the wooden stick in his hand and said, "What are you talking about, beat it up first and then drag it to Ying Tianfu to ask for guilt!" ”

Wang Ruqian hurriedly said: "It was not me who beat you, but the three brothers of Shanyin Zhang Yuan. ”

A man asked, "Is your surname Wang?" ”

Wang Ruqian's heart was racing, and he replied: "No, my surname is Hu." Wang Ruqian's mother's surname is Hu, and she is also a member of the Huizhou family.

A man shouted angrily: "Dog thief, even the ancestors don't dare to recognize it, Huizhou celebrity Wang Ruqian is not who else you will have, otherwise why did you run away so fast - fight!" ”

Seven men rushed up, sticks and sticks, and beat Wang Ruqian's master and servant with their heads and faces, Wang Ruqian hugged his head and shouted for help - his footsteps were mixed, and someone ran towards this side and shouted: "Where did the murderer come from, the front is the location of the six yamen, who dares to commit murder." "Then there is a gong sound, this is the patrol police shop people, in accordance with the provisions of the heavenly government, every 100 households set up five shop chiefs, to assist the government to maintain law and order, the general street patrol night by the shop chief take turns on duty, in case of thieves and illegal things will sound the gong as a trumpet, each shop together to respond to the arrest - seven men put away their hands, said loudly: "We are the descendants of the surname Zhu, the descendants of the King of Qi, are all good people in this city, you look at it, it is these three Huizhou people who beat us first." ”

A shop chief led a dozen Jinling households to the front, some people recognized these waste queens, and said a few words to the shop chief, the shop chief did not want to entangle with these Zhu scoundrels, but one of the three people who fell to the ground and moaned was a student, if he went to the government for fear of trouble, but before the shop chief spoke, the student who fell to the ground had already gotten up and said loudly: "It was Shanyin Xiucai Zhang Yuan who beat people, not me, I am indeed Wang Ruqian of Huizhou, but it was not me who beat people——"

Wang Ruqian is determined to use this opportunity to make things clear, he can't be beaten on behalf of Zhang Yuan, although these abolished kings and commoners beat him, which makes him extremely hateful, but the culprit is Zhang Yuan——...... Xiangzhen Pavilion in the old courtyard of Quzhong, Wang Ruqian's master and servant just left, Zhang Yuan took Mu Zhenzhen and Xue Tong out of the gate of Xiangzhen Pavilion, Wang Ruqian and the four went south to Wuding Bridge, Zhang Yuan and three people went north to Zhuan Ku Street, there is a boat household on Banku Street has always relied on Xiangzhen Pavilion to make a living, Xue Tong went to call the boat holder to come out, and Zhang Yuan's master and maid got on the boat together, went down the river to Tongji Bridge, went ashore at Tongji Bridge, rushed to the inner garrison Yamen, two of the four sergeants guarding the gate were on duty in the afternoon, recognized Zhang Yuan, and quickly sang a promise, Zhang Yuan asked the sergeant to enter to report that he wanted to see Gonggong Xing, and the sergeant said: "Gonggong Xing went to the Tax Division in the evening and hasn't come back, does Gongzi Zhang want the villain to report to Gonggong Xing quickly?" This sergeant knew that Gonggong Xing attached great importance to the prisoners of this country, and when he came out in the afternoon, Gonggong Xing kept sending it to the gate, which was a rare thing - Zhang Yuan said: "Gonggong Xing is not here, then I won't go in, may I ask which one is Bi Baihu or Liu Zhangban?" ”

The sergeant guarding the door said: "Liu Zhang's class is here, and the villain will report to Zhang Gongzi." ”

When he didn't move, Liu Gaoya, the head of the East Factory, walked out quickly, Liu Gaoya was of course no longer dressed as a short-shirted slave at this time, but a round hat and soap boots, brown official uniform, smiling and arching his hands, both enthusiastic and not flattering, and asked: "What do you want to call Zhang Gongzi?" ”

Zhang Yuan also saluted: "There is something to ask Liu Zhangban for a favor." He told him about the disturbance he encountered in the Xiangzhen Pavilion.

Liu Gaoya said: "The group of abolished queens are rampant in Jinling City, and I have heard of it below, but I didn't expect to offend Zhang Gongzi today, Zhang Gongzi can rest assured, I will go with you in the next place." That is, he summoned ten Dongchang Fanzi and ten brocade guards, and rushed to the Xiangzhen Hall in the old courtyard with Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan said: "There was a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain below, and those scoundrels chased a student surnamed Wang, but it won't be long before they will reunite here to make trouble, all thanks to the help of Liu Zhang's class." ”

Liu Gaoya said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." "And the twenty fanzi and wrestlers went into the courtyard.

Zhang Dai and Zhang Cao both came to greet Liu Gaoya, and Liu Gaoya knew that Zhang Yuan's two brothers were studying in Guozijian together, so they were polite and polite.

Li Xueyi and Wang Wei came to invite Liu Gaoya into the hall to drink tea, Liu Gaoya looked at these two beautiful girls in the song, felt familiar, and suddenly woke up, it turned out that he had seen it in Xuanwu Lake last time, he was also there that time, he saw Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan didn't see him - about half an hour later, I heard the noise outside the courtyard getting closer, "bang bang", someone slammed the door again.

Liu Gaoya put down the teacup in his hand, got up and said, "The three Zhang Gongzi will sit less, and they will go first and send those people to come again." ”
