Looking at the back of the little girl trotting hurriedly from the crowd, even wearing only a pair of worn-out cloth shoes, Tang Sufan sighed deeply...
Then he turned around.
"Sister Qiao'er, why do you want to go out for fun today?"
Yang Qiaoer's expression flashed unnaturally, and then she replied with a slightly anxious expression.
"Su Fan, we don't have time to chat now. You and I should leave quickly, otherwise trouble will come to your door later..."
After all, Su Fan still had little knowledge of Chang'an. How could the huge power of the Cui family be explained clearly in a few words?
"No, I'm already here..."
At this time, Tang Sufan's eyes rolled back slightly, and then the corners of his mouth curved.
"coming?"
Yang Qiaoer frowned slightly.
Immediately, a path was opened for the crowd, and a group of Yamen Wuhou emerged.
"Oh, what a bunch of people who want to follow the trend. The second Miss Cui family has never humiliated anyone in the street. Now that something happened to the dog owner, she can run faster than anyone else!"
Seeing this group of patrolling Wuhou hurriedly approaching as if something big had happened, Yang Qiaoer's eyes were cold and she sarcastically said.
At this time, Tang Sufan took a look and sneered, not feeling that what he did was inappropriate at all.
The group of Yamen Wu Hous were already shouting angrily before they even got close.
"A bold and evil thief commits murder and hurts people in the street, yet he is not arrested without mercy?"
…
At this moment, Chang'an Avenue is opposite.
A group of literati were patrolling the streets and chanting. This was an elegance that could only be enjoyed by children of noble families.
Among the literati, one person with sharp eyes said to the leader.
"Brother Zheng, isn't that your cousin Miss Cui? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The leader was well-dressed and looked proud.
Naturally, his identity is also extraordinary. He is the current eldest son of the Zheng family, Zheng Ming.
Zheng Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, just in time to see Cui Qiuwan, who was slapped like a monkey's ass and could barely be recognized in the crowd.
Several major aristocratic families have always had in-laws, monopolizing literature and consolidating political power.
The biological sister of the head of the Zheng family is marrying Cui Yunji, the current head of the Cui family, and is the wife of the Qin and Jin Dynasties.
This is also the reason why the Cui and Zheng families are closer in this generation.
And the direction Cui Qiuwan is running towards is Zheng Ming's side...
Zheng Ming couldn't help but be surprised. It seemed that his cousin was being bullied!
Although this Cui Qiuwan is not lovable, she also knows that she has always been overbearing. With the favor of the Cui family, she is the only one who bullies others, and no one else bullies her.
And this face...
"Cousin, why are you in such a hurry?"
Cui Qiuwan paused, looked up and saw her cousin Zheng Ming.
"cousin!!!"
He burst into tears... and even hugged Zheng Ming.
The tears and snot stuck directly on Zheng Ming's chest.
Zheng Ming was immediately speechless. He suppressed the disgust in his eyes and slowly pushed him away...
Asked: "Did my cousin suffer injustice? Don't worry, my cousin is here and I will make the decision for you..."
After all, he is her cousin. Even if he is not close to her, he still has to take into account the face of the two families.
So Zheng Ming didn't hesitate at all, and he acted very confidently as if he was making the decision for you.
"Cousin, you must make the decision for your cousin..."
Immediately, Cui Qiuwan looked sad and the maid added fuel to the fire.
The "in and out" of the matter was explained clearly.
After Zheng Ming heard this, his expression suddenly became angry and he said directly.
"What? How brave! At the foot of Kyoto, evil people are committing crimes, and they bully my cousin, a weak woman? I am so angry! Where is that person? Don't worry, cousin, my cousin will uphold justice for you!"
Not only did Zheng Ming express his stance, but the people around him showed expressions of indignation.
It's like having a mortal enemy with the person who committed the murder on the street.
"In the majestic Kyoto, at the feet of the emperor, where are the etiquette and justice, where is the justice? Madam Cui, don't worry, I am Wang Wen, the imperial eunuch, and I will definitely uphold justice for Madam Cui!"
"Brother Wang is telling the truth. We have no obligation to refuse. Where is the evil thief?"
"Hmph, you dare to bully the Cui family's wife, are you going against heaven?"
…
Cui Qiuwan said angrily.
"Cousin, I asked Wu Hou, who was patrolling the street, to block the man at the intersection of Dongmen Street. Not far away, you can see that man who looks like a scholar! The man is wearing a white robe, with long hair untied. He is easy to identify. !」
Zheng Ming frowned immediately after hearing this.
As the eldest son of the Zheng family, it is natural for him to be more meticulous.
Human-like and dog-like? Dressed in a white robe, with long hair?
In Chang'an City, ordinary literati followed the custom of wearing Putou.
And the person who looks like a human but also has an eclectic look...
Zheng Ming turned his eyes and suddenly thought of someone...
That arrogant and domineering person at the Chang'an student gathering held by his Cui and Zheng family, Tang Sufan!
Zheng Ming asked in a deep voice: "Cousin, do you know that person's name?"
Cui Qiuwan shook her head, but she gritted her teeth and roughly said Tang Sufan's appearance.
Little fanboy?
The one who looks so handsome is probably the arrogant Tang Sufan!
Even if his cousin reveals her identity, she still dares to treat the Cui family as if she is nothing. Isn't he the one who is so arrogant?
Yes, it's him!
Tang Sufan has long been regarded as a thorn in the Zheng family's side, and now he refuses to accept the opportunity to deal with him. Isn't it a mistake to waste a God-given opportunity?
Zheng Ming sneered——
"Hmph, I guess it's him, I'm sure it's him!"
"Cousin, does he know who he is?"
"I have some guesses, but I'm not sure yet. Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely make the decision for you today!"
Zheng Ming waved his hand and directly summoned the two followers behind him.
"You, go to Cui's house quickly and tell Uncle Cui that his cousin is being bullied! And tell Uncle Cui that the person's surname is probably Tang..."
"Also, take my belt, go to the city defense camp not far to the north, find Wei Zhiyong, and tell me that I need someone, so bring someone here!"
"It's Master!"
The two followers went in two directions and flew up with small steps to report the news.
"Cousin, lead the way, cousin, go meet this evil thief!"
The majesty of the eldest son of the Zheng family was undoubtedly revealed.
And the reason why he asked the Cui family to come forward was because he had his own plan. It was better than getting his hands dirty.
Although many relationships in the aristocratic family are related to marriage, they have never been less secretive in private.
The city defense army is stationed in four major camps in the southeast, northwest and northwest. There are five main camps in the city, which is not far from Chang'an Avenue.
Wei Zhiyong, the Huangmen branch general of the city defense army, was the son-in-law of the Zheng family's branch house.
He is not far or close to the Zheng family, but he is also a descendant of the Zheng family.
In terms of seniority, he is Zheng Ming's uncle who is neither far nor near.
Zheng Ming naturally knew that when he was recruiting customers, he deliberately wanted to get closer to Zheng Ming.
When Wei Zhiyong, who was at the city defense army camp, received the news, he immediately got up and ordered his troops without saying a word.
Catching evil thieves like this is also one of the responsibilities of the city defense army.
No matter who it is, just one or two people, can they withstand the guns and swords of the city defense army? Just take it directly.
The main reason is that it can give the current eldest young master of the Zheng family some face, so why not do it?
As for the consideration of mobilizing the city defense troops privately, as long as they don't mobilize too many people, they can just go out of the city for a drill and make up a reason to capture the thieves.
It's easy to do things if you have connections. There are a group of Wuhou who patrol the streets here.
Just after passing by, the city defense troops here were led by Wei Zhiyong.
This is the power of the aristocratic family, and it is so impressive in Chang'an!
