Chapter 290: Outside the City
On the official road outside the city, two men pushing a wheelbarrow, together with three people traveling with them, had an argument with two horse-drawn carriages pulling goods, and they all said that the other party had hit them.
In the middle of the push, the wheelbarrow overturned, and the bags on the cart were scattered on the ground. Under the trampling of more than a dozen people pushing each other, the dried fruits such as dates, walnuts, and longan in the bag were scattered on the ground.
The two carriages were also not good, and they were obviously all New Year's goods, including porcelain, glassware, candy, meat, etc., which were also pushed and smashed by a few angry men, and most of them were thrown to the ground.
The two horses pulling the cart were frightened, and although they were soothed by the shouts of the two coachmen, they also knocked the nearby onlookers and their belongings on their backs.
More and more people participated in the noise and came forward to theorize, blocking the official road tightly.
If you are in a hurry and don't like to see the excitement, you have to go down to the ridges and depressions on both sides of the official road and detour to the past.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, the first to get the news was a team of soldiers from the Terracotta Division.
Before the soldiers could even serve their lunches, they followed an lieutenant in frustration and went out of the city with great vigour.
By the time they came, the matter had been basically controlled, and although the compensation for the loss had not yet been coordinated, the two sides of the dispute had been separated and stood on both sides, and they were both indignantly colliding with each other.
Although the people from the Terracotta Division came, these two groups of people, plus the innocent melon-eating people who were later hit and lost their items, still insisted on their own words, and they all thought that they were victims.
No one could see clearly what the scene was at that time, and the first two carriages that clashed were servants of a large landowner's family in the suburbs of Beijing, who were instructed by the master's family to go to Beijing to buy New Year's goods.
On the other side, two wheelbarrows and five men are from the capital, who happen to have a way to buy some rare dried fruits at a low price, and plan to sell them in a neighboring small county, and make some silver money before the year.
How could the people of the Terracotta Division have the leisure to fight this lawsuit for them, and after listening to the two-wheeled carts, they became impatient.
"Okay, okay, listen to me. Master Jun, I'm not here to judge you in a lawsuit, otherwise, you will discuss the result and leave in a hurry. Otherwise, follow the master back to the Shuntian Mansion and let the Yamen judge right and wrong for you. ”
The lieutenant of the Terracotta Division called Ma Hongtu interrupted them impatiently, while intimidating the two parties, he also looked at some of the people around him one by one, "The brothers have shown me a good look, these are all human witnesses." After a while, bring them all back and hand them over to Shuntianfu, and our errand will be in order. As for how Suncheonfu decided the case? When the case will be closed, it has nothing to do with our masters. ”
…… Eh, is the errand of the Terracotta Division so easy to do? So many people, even the people who clashed and brought onlookers, dozens of people, were all handed over to the Shuntian Mansion Ya......
At the end of the year, no one has time to spare, who knows what it will be like to hand over the matter to Suncheonfu?
In the unlikely event that they are not clear, they will be taken into custody, even temporarily...... This reputation, that is also in prison, who do they ask to clarify and explain?.
Many people are showing signs of madness.
The two of them, who were watching the excitement on the periphery, heard Ma Hongtu's words, looked at each other, and they were all frightened, and they had already begun to retreat.
As a result, as soon as there was a movement, he moved two small steps, and was seen by a sharp-eyed soldier.
Pointing at them and scolding: "What are you doing? You want to take the board, don't you? What are you doing with your ears, haven't you listened to your superiors? None of them are allowed to leave, everyone at the top will go to the Shuntian Mansion, don't make trouble for the master! ”
If it weren't for the fact that these two people had seen some of the world, they would be afraid that their legs and stomachs would tremble when they heard this.
The two of them just came to find out the accurate news here, and they didn't say a word from beginning to end, okay?
It's okay now, and I'm being targeted by the people of the Terracotta Division. If they were all sent to Shuntian Mansion, their identities would really not stand up to scrutiny.
It's all to blame on Boss Biao, but robbing a girl, they are nearly thirty people, how can they be so careful?
No, can you find out the news for the time being, and put yourself in prison, that's the bag.
I don't know if there is a chance to get out of the chaos, and there is a wood that is about to come to the disaster?
One of the parties, a man pushing a tricycle, approached Ma Hongtu and said with a sneer: "Master Jun, we are all people from the capital, and we don't see you when you look up." You see, it's not a big deal, so you don't need to go to the Shuntian Mansion, right? ”
The servants of the landlord's family are in their village, and even in the surrounding villages, they are all existences that can walk sideways, but if you go to the Shuntian Mansion......
Looking at the man who was close to the military master, just by the strength of his speech, a few servants instantly remembered the sentence "A strong dragon does not suppress the head snake".
After all, they are from the village, and when they enter the capital of the powerful and powerful, they are nothing. Once you enter the yamen, I am afraid that in the eyes of the official master, it is really not as good as these idle men who are snakes on the ground.
Ma Hongtu snorted, and his gaze had already crossed the man's face with contempt, but he instantly turned back: "You...... You're not, aren't you who? ”
"yes, yes." Although Ma Hongtu didn't say who it was, the man nodded again and again, "Isn't it me, Wednesday." You still have a good memory, you still met on East Street two days ago. Look, Master Jun, we still want to rush this last transaction, Shuntian Mansion, so we don't have to go, right? ”
The next thing was a bit one-sided, and the Terracotta Division no longer mentioned sending everyone to the Shuntian Mansion, but tried their best to mediate, hoping that the two sides would reach an understanding and go their separate ways.
…… Well, the military masters of the Terracotta Division just want to satisfy a few people on Wednesday.
Because of some bias, it took a long time for the landlord to make concessions and compensate five men for some of his undamaged items.
This matter is going on and around, Wednesday and others are arguing, and the soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division and Ma Hongtu are intimidating on the side, and it is too late to calm down both sides.
Just when a few people clashed with the landlord's carriage on Wednesday, Lao Jiang, the Shao family's guard, had already brought nine other people to Ganye Temple.
These are also playing darts for peace, and under the guise of repaying wishes. One by one looks high-spirited, and it looks like he's made a lot of money.
I donated the sesame oil money, and learned that there was no restaurant nearby, so I reluctantly went to the dining hall to eat the food that could fade out of the birds.
Lao Jiang arrived with people, and Mo Hong, whom Shao Yi called Uncle Mo, also scattered around with people.
At this time, Shao Yi's heart could be regarded as truly settled.
The total number of bandits in that gang was twenty-nine, but he had more than thirty. And his people are not a rabble, as long as those people dare to show their heads, Shao Yi is confident that they will definitely let them go and never return.
