In front of the Xiancai Hall, dense crowds of people blocked the entire street.
Just half an hour ago, a huge conflict broke out in the Xiancai Hall.
At that time, neither of them had good quarrels. One was Gongsun Yi, one of the aristocratic families in Xizhou City, and the other was Su Qi'an, who turned Sichuandu County upside down.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Su would make such a big noise just a few days after arriving in Xizhou City.
Dare to challenge Gongsun Yi, the news spread like the wind, spreading quickly.
All of a sudden, everyone rushed to the entrance of Xiancai Hall to watch the excitement.
Although the entire street was blocked, there was a vacuum at the entrance of the Xiancai Hall, and no one dared to approach.
Because, there were a large number of people in the Xiancai Pavilion, apparently in two waves. Each of them was holding a long sword, and they were in a tense confrontation. The atmosphere was very tense.
Standing at the front of Su Qi'an were the soldiers led by Colonel Wang, and in front of Gongsun Yi, there were also a group of soldiers who were not weaker than the other party.
Everyone was too nervous to speak. If a fight really broke out, the scene would be the first of its kind in Xizhou City.
The leader, Lieutenant Wang, had a fierce look on his face, stared at Gongsun Yi and his group fiercely, and shouted loudly.
"You are so brave. You dare to take action against the uncle who was conferred by the imperial court. Do you think your life is too long?"
Captain Wang's words did act as a deterrent, but this deterrent could not stop Gongsun Yi.
He didn't panic at all and said in a cold voice, "Humph, what about the uncle who was conferred by the imperial court? Can he attack my servants in public? Isn't there any law in Great Liang?"
"You fart, it's obvious that you spoke rudely to my uncle. Even a lesson is considered light, but I think he deserves to be killed!" Su Yong scolded him coldly.
Gongsun Yi spread his hands and said with a smile, "Hmph, you said something rude? Who can prove it here?"
"You can prove it, but he can prove it."
Gongsun Yi looked around and pointed at everyone casually.
Those who were singled out shook their heads and backed away.
Just kidding, these two are not ordinary people. If they come forward, no matter what they do, they will offend each other.
If you offend Su Qi'an, the most you can do is not meet in the future. Anyway, there is no intersection. If you offend Gongsun Yi, then don't even think about gaining a foothold in Xizhou City.
Seeing that no one said anything at this time, Su Yongyang was trembling. Gongsun Yi had calculated his influence in Xizhou City accurately and dared to be so unscrupulous.
Su Qi'an behind him patted his shoulder and said it was okay. After a while, Su Qi'an stepped forward and looked at Gongsun Yidao.
"Since Master Gongsun has to use Su to test the waters and establish his authority, Su is not a vegetarian, so let's fight."
Gongsun Yi was startled, obviously shocked by Su Qi'an's boldness, but then he thought, since this Su Qi'an came to his door, how could he give in?
The next moment, soldiers from both sides were preparing for a fight and causing a scene in the Xiancai Pavilion.
Suddenly, two clear voices sounded almost one after the other.
"Everyone, stop it. This is the Xiancai Pavilion, not a place for you to fight."
"That's right. If the Talent Hall is destroyed, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it. Why don't you two just let it go for my sake today?"
Everyone looked up sharply. The sound was above their heads and seemed a bit far away.
Under the gaze of everyone, footsteps could be heard on the fourth and fifth floors of the Xiancai Hall.
Immediately afterwards, two young men in gorgeous clothes were surrounded by people from two directions and slowly came down.
"It's Prince Tang and Master Huai." Some people exclaimed and couldn't help but speak.
A small talent hall actually brought together the three young men of Xizhou City.
Together with Uncle Su, who has been in the limelight recently, what kind of scene is this when these four people gather together.
Looking at Tang Xiao and Xue Huai walking down the stairs, Gongsun Yi frowned and said coldly.
"Why, do you two want to get involved in this matter?"
Tang Xiao looked indifferent and said
He said, "I said, I don't care where you fight in private, but if the Xiancai Pavilion is destroyed, I think even if Lord Zhou Cheng knows about it, I'm afraid he won't be partial to you."
"Haha, my purpose here is the same as Brother Tang. After all, this is the Talent Hall. If it is really destroyed by Brother Gongsun, and this reputation spreads, I'm afraid..." Xue Huaixiao looked at Gongsun with a smile. righteous.
Although Gongsun Yi was a dandy, he didn't understand anything. If he insisted on continuing the quarrel, it would be impossible for Tang Xiao and Xue Huai to stop him.
But whether he can bear the price behind it depends on how he weighs it.
Gongsun Yi's eyes flashed and he quickly made a decision. He looked at Su Qi'an and said coldly.
"Su Qi'an, you are lucky this time. The two of them interceded for you. Next time I see you, you will not be so lucky."
"Really? Master Gongsun, don't you think too highly of yourself? What kind of status do you have, how dare you talk to me like this? Have you eaten up the majesty of Great Liang's laws?"
When these words came out, everyone present was quite surprised. They really couldn't believe that Su Qi'an spoke so boldly.
Things that were obviously about to be resolved had twists and turns at the end.
Gongsun Yi's expression changed and he shouted angrily. "Su Qian, what did you say! You are seeking death!"
"Humph, I am the uncle of Dongshan County who was conferred by the imperial court, and you are just a civil servant, relying on your family background, you can be arrogant and do not even look down on me? Are you trying to accept me as your staff?"
"You are so arrogant and have no regard for the laws of the imperial court. Where are the laws of the imperial court!"
Su Qi'an's voice was cold, but he made it clear that no one present dared to refute what Su Qi'an just said.
After all, what Su Qian said was indeed true.
According to the laws of the imperial court, even though Gongsun Yi had a strong family background, he only had the title of a mere civil servant, while Su Qi'an was also a genuine county magistrate and count.
His status was equivalent to that of the second-in-command in the same county. Even if he arrived in the state capital, not to mention being a guest, he was definitely not someone like Gongsun Yi who could insult him. Read the book
"Su Qi'an, you!" Gongsun Yi was so angry at Su Qi'an's words that he couldn't speak.
He didn't expect that one day he would be manipulated by Su Qian.
Now he is in a dilemma. To move forward would be to violate the laws of the Great Liang. To put it more seriously, it would be a provocation to the majesty of the imperial court.
If he retreats, his dignity will be completely lost. This is absolutely unacceptable to Gongsun Yi who regards his face as the most important thing.
Gongsun Yi's eyes flashed, he stared at Su Qi'an fiercely, and said coldly.
"Uncle Su, what do you want to do?"
"It's very simple, just apologize." Su Qian replied with a smile.
"You...well, Uncle Su, I made a mistake this time and offended Uncle Su. I hope you won't forgive me."
Gongsun Yi gritted his teeth, and finally, after careful consideration, he said the most humiliating words in his life.
Gongsun Yi, who said these words, wanted to lead people away without even looking at Su Qi'an.
But at this time, Xue Huai said, "Wait, brother Gongsun, I have something else to say."
"If you have something to say, you have to fart." Gongsun Yi said directly, feeling quite unhappy.
Xue Huai was not annoyed and said with a smile, "Actually, it is Xizhou City's blessing that Brother Su can come to Xizhou City. The few of us are quite thin in Xizhou."
"Logically speaking, we shouldn't make our relationship so bad. In order to ease the conflict between us, and also to bring good luck to Brother Su, even if we don't know each other, Brother Tang and I discussed it. Three days later, we will have a banquet at the Yingbin Building. I hope Brother Gongsun can appreciate me."
Gongsun Yi didn't answer, just snorted coldly, and then led the people away.
After Gongsun Yi left, Xue Huai stepped forward and hugged Su Qi'an warmly.
"I have heard about Brother Su's deeds in Xizhou City a long time ago. I have always wanted to make friends with him, but I never had the chance. Today I encountered this. Brother Su is really quite charming."
Su Qi'an cupped his fists in response to Xue Huai's compliment. As for Tang Xiao, his expression remained indifferent.
Looking at Su Qi'an, he said softly, "I think even without our intervention, with the talent of Dongshan Village, the matter can be solved."
"Okay, now that it's over, it's time for me to go and say goodbye."
After saying that, Tang Xiao turned around and walked away neatly.
Xue Huai looked at Tang Xiao's leaving figure and explained to Su Qi'an with a smile, "Brother Su, don't be offended. Brother Tang has a cold temperament. He has always been like this."
"Okay, I won't disturb Brother Su anymore. This is the invitation. I hope Brother Su can attend the appointment on time in three days."
"Brother Su, see you at the Yingbin Tower." Xue Huai left with a smile.
Su Qi'an didn't resist Xue Huai, who was familiar to him, but he didn't like him either.
Today's Su Qi'an is not the newbie who didn't understand anything.
If the three young masters who are able to gain a foothold in Xizhou City and become famous are all so simple, then they would really be underestimated.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as they are willing, local young men like Wei Yun and Zhou Jie can easily be crushed to death with one hand.
This is the strength of the children of the Xizhou City aristocratic family.
After putting the invitation away, Su Qian glanced at the stunned crowd and said nothing.
Soon, under the protection of Captain Wang and Su Yong, Su Qi'an left the Talent Hall and returned to his residence.
After today's incident, Su Qi'an's name has completely spread in Xizhou City.
Everyone knew that Uncle Su, who had turned the county and city upside down, was going to have a big fight in the city.
There was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys. If it was said that Su Qi'an was in the county below, the prince Tang Xiao was embarrassed and still had doubts.
Regarding the incident at the Talent Hall, Gongsun Yi, the Third Young Master, bowed his head and admitted his mistake as soon as they met.
And directly greeted the other two, four people gathered together, this Uncle Su also did not lose the slightest bit, and competed evenly with the three.
Gradually, there were more and more discussions about Su Qi'an. In the end, it was even spread that Su Qi'an was the fourth youngest son of Xizhou City.
This news made Su Qian dumbfounded.
Su Qi'an ignored the rumors from the outside world. Anyway, there would be a lot of trouble in the future.
The most urgent task now is to continue searching for news about Qin Huai.
