While Tian Yi and others were eating, two men at a dining table by the window didn't know what was going on and started to quarrel. The other men at the table tried to dissuade him one after another, but they seemed unable to stop the anger of the thin black soap official in official uniform.
Judging from the clothes of these people, two of them seemed to be officials from the government, and the rest seemed to be idlers on the street.
Tian Yi took a look at these venomous big men, all of them with fierce looks and various tattoos, and couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
People with tattoos are not necessarily bad people, but good people are definitely not tattooed. Except, of course, Sgt.
How can one decide whether a tattoo is good or bad? Those who are not tattooed, such as court officials, are worse and more shameless, and are better at immorality.
"Officials call themselves brothers and sisters, which is really a deterioration in the world!"
Li Tang shook his head and said helplessly.
Except for the two subordinates, the rest of them talked obscenely, had red faces and thick necks, and seemed to be rogues on the street. These guys also carry swords and can cause trouble at any time, big or small.
The swords and weapons produced by the Jiangnan Arms Manufacturing Branch were of high quality and were sold publicly by the government. I don’t know how these rogues passed the review and got the swords?
This matter, the matter of drinking with the students of Jinling University Hall, I still need to tell Zhao Hong and let the government investigate.
"Straight bitch, what do you mean by Niang? Are you saying that I am not honest?"
The thin black soap official had a red face and a thick neck. He slapped the table and stood up, pointing his fingers and angrily cursing his accomplices across from him.
"Did I make a mistake? You are obviously not loyal enough in this matter."
The companion may be intimidated by the power of his fellow officials, or may have a guilty conscience, but he is still showing off his power.
"Am I not loyal enough? Fuck you Niang!"
In anger, the thin black soap official reached for the porcelain plate on the table and threw it at his quarreling accomplices across the table. The accomplice quickly dodged, and the porcelain plate hit the opposite wall. Broken porcelain pieces and vegetable juices fell on the table of Wei Jinyu and others, and several dishes were affected.
Wei Jinyu and the other four were all shocked. Wei Jinyu raised his head and glanced dissatisfied at the soap official who threw the plate.
Is this table still edible?
This guy's face was red, he must have drunk too much.
"never mind!"
Tian Yi patted Wei Jinyu on the shoulder. There are many rules in Jiangwu Hall. He and Wei Jinyu are both teachers and students of Jiangwu Hall, and they don't want to conflict with these ruffians and cause trouble.
"What is he looking at? Is he looking for death?"
Perhaps noticing Wei Jinyu's dissatisfied look, Zaoli slapped the table again, pointed at Wei Jinyu and cursed.
"Let's take a look. What's wrong? The whole table of food has been ruined. Why don't you let me take a look?"
Wei Jinyu couldn't help but stood up and retorted.
The broken pieces of porcelain shocked everyone and ruined the entire table. No apology was given, no one was allowed to see it, and no one was allowed to express their dissatisfaction. What kind of world is this?
With his dandy behavior in Lin'an City, when had he ever suffered such a loss? It is rare to be able to speak well without using any curse words.
Of course, it is also related to the strict discipline and school rules of the Martial Arts Hall.
The old man dining alone at another table saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly paid the bill and fled the restaurant quickly.
"Everyone, Brother Tian, Brother Qiu, please, please don't. The shop can't afford to pay for it!"
The shopkeeper came out with a smile on his face and bowed to both parties.
If a fight really breaks out, how can this business be done?
"Damn it, I think you want to die! I'll kill you!"
Zao Li was used to being domineering. He poked his fingers and cursed Wei Jinyu angrily. He ignored the shopkeeper at all, reached out and pulled out the knife from his waist, walked around his companions, and strode towards Wei Jinyu and others.
Judging from his fierce look, he really wanted to fix Wei Jinyu and others.
"Kill them!"
"Spare this guy's blood!"
The subordinate staff took the lead, followed by seven or eight other accomplices. A few idle men drew their swords, and those who had no strength picked up their stools and rushed straight to the table where Wei Jinyu and others were sitting, threatening to beat up Tian Yi and others. people.
The shopkeeper hurriedly hid aside, squatting in the corner with a frown on his face.
Now that there's a fuss, half a month's work has been wasted.
"Store, collect the money! Let's go!"
Tian Yi took out the money and put it on the table, took Li Tang and Wei Jinyu's arms and walked out.
Although they came from the martial arts hall, they did not carry swords and guns with them. Besides, he didn't want to conflict with these ruffians and ruin the reputation of the martial arts hall.
"Damn things! Stop them!"
The square-faced idle man holding a knife shouted loudly, and led several accomplices to rush out, blocking the door of the wine shop and blocking the way out of Tian Yi and others.
"Everyone, what are you doing?"
Tian Yi had no choice but to stop.
"What do you want to do? Why don't you let us leave?"
Li Tanghei's face turned red, and his heart was filled with rage.
These guys are so aggressive that they are not good at first sight, and they have bullied many good people.
The emperor implemented the New Deal on Jiangnan East Road. As the capital of Jiangnan East Road, Jiankang Mansion, there are actually subordinate officials who are so arrogant? So unscrupulous?
"What do you want to do? I'll kill you!"
The square-faced idler slashed fiercely with his knife, heading straight for Tian Yi's head. Tian Yi quickly turned sideways and kicked the square-faced idler over.
"Cut these bastards! Kill them and I'll bear them!"
The thin black soap official brandished his sharp blade and shouted, and the other idle black soap officials rushed forward and went straight to Tian Yi and others.
The gangsters were holding bright swords, and the situation was critical. Tian Yi and others did not dare to neglect, they grabbed the benches and started fighting with each other.
The two sides were fighting, going back and forth. Although Tian Yi and others did not have weapons, they were all skilled in martial arts. Especially Tian Yi was a master of spear skills. After a while, the other party was knocked down five or six people, but several of them were also badly injured. After a few blows, blood dripped.
"Everyone stop it!"
Tian Yi knocked over the thin black Zaoli, took his knife, and put it on Zaoli's neck.
Li and Tang fought and retreated, holding benches and other items to protect Tian Yi.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing a bloody cut on Zhenzhidao Xiaobai's face, Li Tang asked with concern.
"Nothing? These guys are really aggressive!"
Zhenzhidao touched the wound on his face, and the muscles on his face trembled in pain.
These guys are so overbearing that they dare not even look at them. They are more unreasonable than justified, and they are always ready to kill them. They are much crueler than him, a famous dandy in Lin'an City.
"Let Brother Tian go!"
An idle man opposite shouted angrily.
"Quickly, let Mr. Tian go, or we will arrest you all!"
Another official threatened Tian Yilai.
"Let Brother Tian go, or I'll kill you!"
The rest of the idle men shouted after them.
"Lao Wu, call someone!"
The square-faced idle man shouted to another soap official, who took out his whistle and started blowing it.
This whistle was created by Zhao Hong. It was only used in the army at first, but soon spread throughout the Song Dynasty and in all walks of life.
"Retreat to the second floor!"
Tian Yi took the official named Tian Er hostage, and the four of them retreated to the second floor of the wine shop, followed closely by the idle men.
"Li Tang, go to the martial arts hall and call someone!"
Tian Yi whispered, and Li Tang climbed through the window and jumped from the second floor to the street. He received a few sticks from the gangsters, blended into the crowd, and ran away. The gangsters couldn't catch up, so they cursed and came back to block the window.
More and more rogues gathered together, and a few local officials arrived. Soon there were twenty or thirty people. They were armed with guns and clubs, and forced them up to the second floor, surrounding Tian Yi and others. It was all over the place.
"Let them go!"
"Let him go quickly!"
Seeing everyone's clamor, Tian Yi remained calm, but secretly regretted it in his heart. If the four of them had jumped off the building together just now, they might have escaped.
One look actually caused a trouble, which really made people laugh and cry.
Fortunately, the other party encountered the four of them. If they were ordinary people, they would have been chopped to pieces.
"Let me go immediately! Otherwise you won't have time to regret it!"
The thin black soap official seemed to be a ruthless person, threatening Wan Tianyi and shouting to his friends opposite.
"Brothers, leave me alone! Kill these bastards!"
"Shut up! Do you deserve the surname Tian?"
Tian Yi tightened the knife in his hand, and blood oozed from the neck of Zaoli Tian Er.
"Who are you? Let Tian Er go immediately, otherwise we will be destroyed by random arrows!"
A green-robed official went up to the second floor and spoke righteously. A row of archers in front of him drew their bows and arrows, aiming at Tian Yi and the others.
"You dare? I think you don't want to be an official!"
Wei Jinyu was furious, pointed at the officials and shouted angrily:
"My father is Wei Liaoweng, the Minister of War, and his father is Zhen Dexiu, the ruling minister and Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs. This is Tian Yi, chief firearms instructor of the Military Academy and the emperor's favorite general. Do you dare to ask people to let him go? Arrow, be careful that your head is in danger!"
At this time, he had a bit of the aura of a Lin'an dude.
Wei Jinyu's words made the green-robed officials stunned for a while. He looked at everyone, his eyes returned to Wei Jinyu, and he stammered.
"Is your father really... the minister of Wei...?"
He also felt that these people were extraordinary and not ordinary people.
All the officials, idle men and scoundrels stared at Wei Jinyu and others with their eyes wide open.
"My father is still the vice-principal of Jiangwu Hall. You can send someone to Jiangwu Hall and find him. Or you can go to the establishment of the Si Yamen and call Mr. Wang Gang and Wang Xianggong! If that doesn't work, you can go to the General Secretary. So, it’s okay to find Mr. Hu Mengyu and Mr. Hu.”
Wei Jinyu's words were so powerful that the entire upstairs was completely silent.
The green-robed official stared at Wei Jinyu for a moment, then waved his hand, and the archers put away their horned bows.
"Go and find Mr. Wang."
The green-robed official ordered to go down, and the soap official next to him took the order and walked downstairs.
Tian Yi couldn't help but smile. No wonder this official looked familiar. It turned out to be Hu Yuanfeng, the magistrate of Jiangning who loved sleeping on flowers and willows the most.
Suddenly, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps, followed by screams. Everyone upstairs was in panic. Many young men in black armed with spears rushed up. With a forest of spears, they forced Hu Yuanfeng and the idle men into a corner. .
"Arrest everyone in the wine shop and take them to the martial arts hall to await their punishment!"
A Confucian scholar in his forties came up. He was tall and mighty, calm and powerful, and issued military orders to the students in the Martial Arts Hall.
Tian Yi removed the knife and pushed Tian Er away, who turned pale and collapsed on the ground.
Having offended so many ruthless people, I will have to shed my skin even if I don’t die. This is really bad luck!
Seeing that his son and others were okay, Wei Liaowen breathed a sigh of relief.
Tian Yi, Zhen Dexiu, and his precious son, nothing can happen to anyone. Otherwise, the world will really be in chaos.
"Who are you, and what qualifications do you have to arrest people indiscriminately? My officer, Hu Yuanfeng, the magistrate of Jiangning County, received a report and came to arrest people. You have to give me an explanation!"
Hu Yuanfeng asked guiltily and explained subconsciously.
"I talk about Wei Liaoweng, the vice-principal of the Martial Arts Hall and the Minister of War. Do you think I have the qualifications to arrest people?"
Wei Liaoweng was too lazy to pay attention to Hu Yuanfeng, snorted coldly, turned around and went downstairs.
"No matter who it is, everyone involved in the crime should be arrested!"
He didn't even look down upon the mere magistrate of Jiangning County.
"This is really a big deal!"
Hu Yuanfeng was dejected and was pushed down by the students.
He had an affair with the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall founded by the emperor. He, a sesame official, had reached the end of his career.
"You can be chopped down just by looking at it. Officials are working with local gangsters. What kind of world is this? It seems that the officialdom of the Song Dynasty needs to be cured!"
Zhenzhidao grinned in pain and said harshly.
"That's why the principal wants to implement the New Deal on Jiangnan East Road to fight corruption. Looking at the behavior of these people today, it won't work unless they are cured."
Wei Jinyu shook his head and continued.
The imperial court's anti-corruption and clarification of officialdom on Jiangnan East Road is indeed good governance that benefits the country and the people.
