After listening to Jin Wuwei's narration of the history of the Qinghe Cui family, Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing glanced at each other, thinking of the scene that happened when they went out shopping just now, and said in their hearts: It seems that he is really in trouble. But he was not afraid, and went downstairs with Ran Jingjing.

When the two of them went out just now, there was a lot of traffic on the street, so it was not prosperous!

But just as the two were happy, a fast horse appeared on the street. Rampage, crashing into the street people on their backs, chickens flying and dogs jumping.

It was not right to ride a horse in the downtown area, but the man who rode the horse did not rein in his horse, and still galloped fast. The people in the market were like nothing, and the horses' hooves were raised, and they were about to step on the children in front of them. But no one came to their aid.

Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing saw this. One flew over and picked up the child, while the other flew away in a fit of rage. The man on the horse flew out of the outer hall in a very embarrassed manner, and after getting up, he said angrily:

"The two of you even dare to stop Cui's horse, it seems that you will die, and if you have the courage to leave your name!" He spoke extremely arrogantly, but he didn't dare to be arrogant when he saw the skills of the two.

Ran Jingjing was full of vigor and slapped him twice, he didn't dare to do anything when he covered his face, just shouted.

People in the surrounding streets talked about the two of them causing a big disaster. Li Chengtang was afraid that the Cui family would blame the child's family, so he reported his name and asked the people on the horse to come to the inn if they wanted revenge.

The man who rode the horse was originally a member of the Cui family, and the relationship between the squire of Zhongshu Province. His name is Cui Hongyou, who was blessed by his family, and was appointed as a lieutenant of the idle military officer Yi Lu, and was awarded the honorary military cavalry captain. Although there are only seven official positions, there is no real power. But with the power of the family, he is used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and he has been insulted like this, so he brought his family to make trouble when he went home.

At that time, Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing had not returned to the inn. This Si brought people to see that the entire inn was guarded by Jin Wuwei. knew the high and low, and didn't dare to make a mistake, so he went home and sued Diao, and asked the adults in the family to come forward and want to get back face.

The two people who came, one forty and the other sixty, were dressed as scribes. The one who is forty miles away is called Cui Yicheng, who is Cui Hongyou's eldest brother and ranks in the position of governor Shi. The other one who is sixty miles away is called Cui Bai, who is the patriarch of the Cui family in Qinghe.

The two heard Cui Hongyou's description, after all, they had seen the world. Since there is Jin Wuwei guarding him, and he dares to offend the Cui family, he should not be an ordinary person, so he first dressed in ordinary clothes and came to visit. It is really with the heart of listening to the truth and asking about sin.

Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing were each cleaned up and refreshed. Li Chengtang is dressed in dark clothes, elegant and elegant, outstanding, showing the atmosphere of a noble son. Ran Jingjing is dressed in white, with fluttering clothes, like a fairy in the world, although there is no appearance of a country and a city, but there is a posture of people.

At first glance, you can see that it is by no means an ordinary family.

The two Cui clansmen who came didn't dare to make a mistake, Cui Yicheng was the chief historian and was quite familiar with the officialdom, so he first reported his official position and said:

"The Cui family doesn't know that the son is coming, so I came to see the son, this is my patriarch Cui Bai, I don't know where the son's family background is, and what position does he hold in the court?"

is polite and courteous, and asks Li Chengtang clearly and concisely. It's indeed an old fritter of officialdom

At that time, the Tang Dynasty had a saying that there were five surnames and seven hopes. They refer to the Li clan of Longxi, the Li clan of Zhaojun, the Cui clan of Boling, the Cui clan of Qinghe, the Lu clan of Fanyang, the Zheng clan of Xingyang, and the Wang clan of Taiyuan.

These seven families have a total of five surnames, and they are basically the most powerful families in the Tang Dynasty. Among them, the Li family in Longxi founded the Li Tang Dynasty, so it stands to reason that it is more noble than other major families. The Li clan of Zhaojun is under the shadow of the clan Fuyin and Li Tang Tongzong, and also has a share of the pie among several major families.

Cui Yicheng heard his younger brother tell him that this person's surname was Li, so he wanted to ask Li Chengtang which surname Li belonged to, so as to further hold him accountable.

Although Li Chengtang was very disgusted by Cui Hongyou's rampant behavior in the market, he was quite polite when he saw the people who came, so he had to return the courtesy and say:

"In the next life, I lived in Lingnan and did not serve in the court."

Cui Yicheng and Cui Bai glanced at each other, and asked Ran Jingjing's family history again in disbelief. After Ran Jingjing finished talking about her family history, the two instantly fell silent.

Thinking that the two of them have no background, why are they protected by Jin Wuwei, even if the Ran family is powerful in Hebei and Henan, but it is only the status of the rivers and lakes, and it will not be guarded by Jin Wuwei. It must just be a friendship with a certain big man, and it's just a fox and a fake tiger.

Then they were bold, and they believed that no big man would be an enemy of the Qinghe Cui clan for the sake of outsiders!

Cui Yicheng immediately became condescending, straightened his chest, and said:

"Since Your Excellency is not in the court to ask about things, I don't know how the Cui family offended Your Excellency, but you want Your Excellency to teach your brother a lesson, embarrass the Cui family, and this official has been added to the history of a governor, and I want Your Excellency to give an explanation!"

Seeing that their attitudes had changed so quickly, Ran Jingjing had already powdered her face with frost, and said angrily:

"That guy is arrogating in the downtown and disregarding people's lives, you don't care, but you still come to ask us!"

Cui Bai is relying on the old and selling the old and said:

"Little girl's words are also bad, although your Ran family is powerful, but you can't control the affairs of the official family, the Cui family is not comparable to your Ran family, the Cui family has its own Cui family to manage, how can you interfere!"

Li Chengtang originally had the patience to listen, but when he saw Cui Bai saying this at all ages, he said angrily:

"The Cui family, as a big family, is it so ceremonial heirloom! Since the Cui family is bullying the people and dominating the market, and they are rampant, Li Chengtang will take care of your Cui family today, how are you treated! ”

Cui Yicheng smiled, full of confidence, and said:

"Don't think that you are lawless with the protection of Jin Wuwei, Jin Wuwei has violated the Tang law by guarding you, if you don't give an explanation today, this long history will make you unable to get out of Qinghe City."

Hearing this, Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing said in unison: "If you have any ability, we will follow!" Hearing this, Jin Wuwei's color changed.

He was originally ordered to escort Li Chengtang and his entourage by Ximen Ji Xuan, and he did not have the emperor's order in his body, and his purpose was just to put an end to the harassment of the rivers and lakes. But this is indeed beyond the rules of the Tang Dynasty, if there is a conflict with the official family, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to go out, and I will be uneasy.

Cui Yicheng suddenly changed color, waved his sleeves, and shouted:

"Come on, surround this inn! Arrest this disobedient people! ”

I saw that a lot of soldiers suddenly appeared outside the inn, and the regiment surrounded the place. The Jin Wuwei in the inn did not wait for orders, and each held a knife to form a confrontation.

Cui Yicheng's face changed, and he asked the leader of Jin Wuwei angrily, "Who are you waiting for, dare to be a guard for others privately, you can know that this is a crime of exceeding the rules, at least a hundred staff shapes, or exile at worst, and don't stop the official!" ”

During the Tang Dynasty, the sixteen guards system was adopted, and they were in charge of government soldiers throughout the country. Jin Wuwei is the left and right guards in the sixteen guards, and it is the leading body of the sixteen guards. He is in charge of the security of Gyeonggi, is responsible for the security of the emperor, and is His Majesty's guard. Unless there is His Majesty's will, it is easy not to leave Beijing.

Of course, because of this, although those government soldiers surrounded the inn, they did not dare to make a move with Jin Wuwei, and a confrontation was formed for a while.

The leader of this Jin Wuwei is surnamed Fan, and he is a lieutenant general in the army, and his official residence is five grades, which is one grade older than Changshi. Seeing what Cui Yicheng heard, he didn't answer and remained silent. Cui Yicheng was helpless for a while, and said:

"Let's see how long you can confront each other!" Throw off his sleeves with Cui Bai, leaving the soldiers to continue to surround the inn.

Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing were not afraid, and thought, we have to leave, and some of your government soldiers can't stop us. But for the time being, he didn't want to clash with the officers and soldiers. beckoned the Jin Wuwei to eat first, and those government soldiers did not dare to rush in because of the presence of Jin Wuwei.

At this time, Nangong Qingwu also came out of the upstairs room, and when she saw this scene and asked the reason, she laughed. This old man has a lot of experience in practicing in the room, and he didn't hear the noise downstairs. His realm has improved, and there are already signs of breaking through the realm of the great grandmaster along the way, and he really wants to make something happen, so he thinks it's fun.

With Ximen Ji Xuan on top, these Jin Wuwei are not very afraid of being held accountable. Everyone went their own way, eating and resting.

The more Cui Yicheng and Cui Bai returned to the mansion, the more angry they became, they Qinghe Cui's family had never been bullied like this, not to mention that they were just a little-known child. However, the other party has Jin Wuwei in charge, and the Ran family has the background of the rivers and lakes, thinking that the two of them are also good at kung fu, so they began to make various arrangements.

On the one hand, Cui Yicheng remobilized a team of government soldiers to increase the encirclement and prevent them from leaving the inn. On the other hand, he urgently sent a letter to Chang'an Feige, accusing Jin Wuwei of abusing his power and escorting civilians.

And Cui Bai, as the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, considered the person behind Li Chengtang, so he contacted the Boling Cui clan to complain to the court together to win back the face of the Cui family. The Boling Cui clan is known as the highest gate in the world, and it is the head of the northern wealthy clan, and it is the same as the Qinghe Cui clan.

If the two clans exert pressure together, then the people behind Li Chengtang will inevitably be belittled, and then Li Chengtang and his gang will be insignificant, and they will recognize people.

At the same time, considering the power of the Ran family, they began to think about finding help from the Jianghu people to save face.

was originally just a trivial matter, but it suddenly escalated into a two-way parallel confrontation between the court and the rivers and lakes.

Li Chengtang originally wanted to leave. But when they are gone, how to deal with Jin Wuwei is left, there must be a solution before leaving. Nangong Qingwu is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he is even happier to watch the excitement. The group was trapped in the inn for three days.

In the past three days, Ran Jingjing was the happiest, and she was tired of being with Li Chengtang every day, and she had her own scenery.

During the three days, the court was the most lively, and Li Linfu and Cui Yuan and Cui Jian of Zhongshu Province were divided into two parties to argue about Jin Wuwei's protection of Li Chengtang, and they didn't know how to decide. Li Linfu belongs to the power of the Li clan in Longxi, he is the Zhongshu order, the official worships the right minister, although he is treacherous and slippery on weekdays, but this time in order to suppress the Cui family, he is actually just. He expounded on Choi's crimes in Qinghe, believing that Li Chengtang's actions were doing harm to the people, and that Kim Wuwei was guilty of improper support.

Your Majesty Li Longji actually received a letter from Ximen Ji Xuan a long time ago, and knew the cause and effect of Li Chengtang, although Jin Wuwei accompanied him to protect him, although he was not guilty. But after knowing Li Chengtang's background, he also had many concerns and hesitated.

Moreover, he still has to balance the forces of all parties in order to control the country, so it has not been decided for a long time, so that all the envoys of the festival all over the country have written to express their opinions.

The time dragged on for another ten days, and even rumors spread on the rivers and lakes.

Qinghe Cui's family even knew that two of the people they were facing were the top seven grandmasters in the rivers and lakes!

Momentarily in a dilemma.
