Just when Feng Bao was worried about this old friend Qin Tai, the situation outside had changed dramatically. The otherwise quiet atmosphere quickly became eerie, and the teahouse became the center of this eerie atmosphere, and many people kept flocking to this inconspicuous teahouse. It is said that this place is not a downtown area, and it is not far from the palace near the yamen of the Tai Hospital, which belongs to the inner city, that is, the inner district of the imperial city. The people who live here are all relatives of the emperor or high-ranking officials, and although ordinary people can come in during the day, they are absolutely not allowed to appear in such groups. The security outside the capital is managed by the local county government and the forbidden army, the security of the outer city of the capital is jointly managed by the Guishun Tianfu and the Jinyi Guard, and the security in the inner city, that is, the imperial city, is nominally managed by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Governor's Office, but in fact, the Praetorian Guard and the Jinyi Guard are fully responsible. The security of the palace is jointly managed by the Jinyi Guard, the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Master of Ceremonies, and the Master of Ceremonies is in charge of the overall responsibility.

The inner city will not be as strict as the palace management, nor will it be as chaotic as the outer city management. For the personal safety of the dignitaries and nobles in this area, it is strictly forbidden for the ordinary people of the outer city to gather together, and it is even more forbidden for unofficial personnel to appear in the inner city with offensive weapons. The five-city Terracotta Division, which is nominally in charge, still has a certain combat and management ability. They patrol the place in sections, and each yamen also has mobile troops on standby at any time, and if something happens in any area, the patrol team becomes the first echelon, the left-behind troops in various parts of Mingde are the second echelon, and the headquarters also has the third echelon, that is, the reserve. If it really can't be suppressed, report it immediately to the Jinyi Guard and the Praetorian Guard, and the Janissaries will arrive immediately, and even if there is a rebellion, it will be eliminated immediately.

These people dared to gather together so blatantly, and the elder brother was holding a wooden stick and an iron rod in his hand, it seemed that he was either secretly supported by some yamen, or the power of people like the Wucheng Terracotta Division, who did not dare to offend. These people do not have a unified uniform, nor do they have unified weapons, and they have not even received regular military training, and they are definitely not from Jinyiwei or Dongchang, they are just ordinary gangsters on the ground in the capital. They often fight and make trouble in the outer city, but they rarely come to the inner city to make trouble, and today they appear very strangely. The inhabitants of the inner city are speculating about what these people are doing in the inner city, and who is directing them to deal with whom.

When these people kept flocking to this inconspicuous teahouse and surrounding the teahouse, the goal was already very obvious. The people who were able to live in the inner city were either relatives of the emperor or current ministers, and they not only had good eyes and brains, but also had intertwined power. If you think about it, you can think of the origin and backstage of this teahouse. Now it is not easy to change the capital, especially to open a teahouse in the inner city, but also need to have a backer. This kind of business is either the private property of a certain big man, or a certain family has a dry stake in this teahouse. Even if the owner of this teahouse started from scratch and tried to hold on, in order not to be attacked by their peers and blackmailed by violent yamen such as Jinyiwei, they all had to give away most of their shares and take refuge in powerful people, which is already an industry rule in the capital. This teahouse was not opened by a big man, but just a family of earls. Therefore, the shop is not a big business, and it is not ranked in the capital or even in the inner city. Who did they offend and attract so many thugs to besiege the teahouse?

The gangsters are not strong, but the gangsters who come out to mix rice are all ruthless characters. The gangsters in the capital are said to be popular in masochism, that is, to use knives on themselves to prove that they are ruthless enough. In addition to fighting and making trouble, the most common thing that ordinary gangsters usually do is to extort and collect protection money. Most merchants or stores have some backstage and will not be willing to hand over money. These gangsters need to use methods, scaring and smashing people not only do not do it every day, but also ask people from the yamen to help require face and money. So the gangsters came up with their own way, they used masochism to scare the boss, and Boss Bi had to give in. Some of them hit themselves on the head with bricks, some rolled themselves around on the ground strewn with nails, some nailed themselves to the door of the shop they were trying to extort, and some of them made direct gestures with knives on themselves. Ordinary people don't dare to offend these people when they see that these gangsters are so cruel to themselves. would rather give some money to send away these plague gods, which has made the gangsters in the capital arrogant. One or two gangsters are easy to deal with, but if a large group of gangsters come to make trouble every day, no one can stand the influence, so the gangsters become one of the people that businessmen are most reluctant to offend. Some businessmen would rather deal with the people of the yamen than sit down and negotiate with thugs.

If you are a ruffian hooligan, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are big hooligans wearing official uniforms and having an official background. But the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang are also worried about encountering a large group of gangsters when they are alone. Usually the gangsters don't dare to offend the people of Jinyiwei or Dongchang, and seeing these gangsters is more well-behaved than seeing the owner of the pillar when the kitten sees it, because the gangsters stick to the ground and mix rice, and they need the permission of Jinyiwei and the people of Dongchang. But once the lone Jinyiwei or Dongchang people appear in front of a large group of gangsters, these gangsters will die and even kill them directly. Not only can you vent your resentment against Jinyiwei or Dongchang, but you can also prove your prestige in your own people that you dare to fight even the people of Jinyiwei or Dongchang, and you are definitely a big brother.

The thugs began to surround the teahouse with weapons, and Dongchang Fanzi, who was guarding outside, immediately felt that something was wrong. The three fans broke through in three ways and prepared to find someone to protect Feng Bao inside. A fan went in to report the situation outside to Feng Bao, the governor of the East Factory, and Qiu Xiaoqiu also went in as soon as possible to explain the situation to his cousin and sister-in-law. Although the combat effectiveness of the gangsters is not very strong, there are many people, and even if the ants gnaw the elephants, it will make everyone in trouble. Although Qiu Xiaoqiu and Zhan Xiaoxiao are very capable of fighting, they cannot guarantee that they will subdue all the gangsters under the condition of ensuring that Qin Tai is safe and sound. If it was replaced by a widow or bandit, Zhan Xiaoxiao might be able to eliminate the other party in one fell swoop. But the other party is just a gangster, although he usually bullies people and has a small case in his hands, but he is definitely not a vicious person, and it is impossible for Zhan Xiaoxiao to really kill them all. Qiu Xiaoqiu is even more unlikely to really kill people, although Qiu Xiaoqiu has encountered countless corpses and personally dissected many corpses, but he has never killed a living person with his own hands. There is a difference between theory and practice, so Qiu Xiaoqiu is not as good as Zhan Xiaoxiao, who has actual combat experience.

After Feng Bao got the report from his subordinates, he first glared at this subordinate. As the fan of Dongchang, a person who can follow the governor of Dongchang can't even do anything. They should have reminded each other at the beginning, when you left the teahouse, that they had to do something in this teahouse. I believe that if this is done, the gangsters will not dare to gather more people to make trouble in the teahouse. These gangsters want to save face and establish their own prestige, and now even if the people in Dongchang show their name, I'm afraid it's too late. No one dared to flinch in front of such a poisonous peer, even if Feng Bao went out in person to tell his identity. In order not to attract too many people's attention, Feng Bao traveled in casual clothes, and the number of guards and guards around him was not large, otherwise he would not be afraid of these gangsters.

Qin Tai knew that a big man like Feng Bao must have a signal transmitter in his hand, that is, a signal flare used to call for help when he was in danger. Feng Bao is not only the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant supervisor, but also the governor of Dongchang, and he must have a signal flare in his hand that can mobilize Dongchang, Jinyi Wei and the forbidden army. But it takes a while for the flare to work after it is fired, and everyone will be fine as long as they hold on until reinforcements come. Qin Tai handed over the on-site command to the more experienced Zhan Xiaoxiao, who commanded everyone to resist the bastards outside and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
