The car accident occurred at the intersection of Dongertiao Tianshui Lane and Temple Street. This area is a relatively prosperous street in Bianjing, and the night market is especially lively.
When Zhao Yang and his entourage walked eastward from Yujie around Changqing Tower, they saw from a distance that the street in the distance was filled with people and filled with people. It must have been the location where the car accident occurred.
But Zhao Yang couldn't see clearly what the situation was, because they were still on the periphery of the crowd at this time, and even if he stepped on his feet and looked hard, he couldn't see clearly.
Seeing this, Wang Zhongzheng and others protected Zhao Yang, pulling the crowd of onlookers in front with their hands, and forced Zhao Yang to squeeze into the crowd while protecting him.
The onlookers whose shoulders were being pulled frowned and turned around, and opened their mouths to curse, but suddenly saw the clothes of Wang Zhongzheng and others, and quickly swallowed back the curses.
"Sorry, sorry."
Before Zhao Yang handed over to these people, he smiled, and the ugly expressions of these people gradually eased.
In short, after a lot of effort, Zhao Yang and his party squeezed into the center of the crowd and reached the first row of spectators.
At this time, there was a lot of people around, and it seemed that everyone was blaming someone. Zhao Yang looked up and saw a carriage entering his eyes first, and then a circle of guys who looked like servants were surrounding the carriage, about six or seven. The man was yelling at the onlookers around him with an angry look on his face.
The second time he saw it more clearly, Zhao Yang saw a woman slumped in front of the carriage. She was holding a child who seemed to be seven or eight years old in her arms. Her clothes were being grabbed by a servant, not far away. The stalls were in a mess, and several stall owners were arguing with the servants.
After only observing for a moment, Zhao Yang had a rough inference in his mind, but in order to confirm his guess, he still asked an old man on crutches next to him.
"Old man, what's going on here?"
The old man probably turned his head to look at Zhao Yang's clothes, and then looked at Wang Zhongzheng and others standing next to Zhao Yang. Apparently he also guessed that this kid might have a good background, so he told what happened.
Just like Zhao Yang guessed, the reason was indeed that the carriage was driving rampantly in the busy city. In the process, it might have crashed into a roadside stall in order to avoid the child in the woman's arms.
The stall owners refused and surrounded the carriage to demand compensation. The carriage owner also refused, arguing that if it wasn't to avoid the child, how could the carriage hit the stall, so the three groups started to quarrel.
The three groups of people mentioned here did not include the woman. The mother and son had been frightened and allowed themselves to be pushed and pulled by the servants of the carriage. This aroused the indignation of the onlookers. On behalf of the mother and son and the carriage, A quarrel broke out.
As for the stall owners, they seemed to have a vague intention of favoring the mother and son, and they just gathered around the servants to demand compensation.
After the matter was clarified, Zhao Yang also came to a general conclusion: passing by the carriage.
Not to mention that the carriage hit the pavement on the roadside to avoid the mother and son. In such a busy city, the carriage should slow down or simply change the road.
Of course, there will be many such people even a thousand years from now.
"Does the other party have a good background?" Zhao Yang asked Wang Zhongzheng next to him, stroking his smooth chin.
Wang Zhongzheng frowned and looked at the carriage in the distance. Before he could speak, Wang Ming, who was beside Zhao Yang, said: "Yuanwailang, from what the onlookers said, it seems to be Zhang Yaozuo's carriage."
"Zhang Yaozuo?" Zhao Yang was a little unfamiliar with this name.
"This man is Zhang Meiren's uncle. Because Zhang Meiren is favored by the officials, he behaves arrogantly and domineeringly. It is said that the admonishers in the court have impeached him many times, but Zhang Meiren intercedes for him..." Wang Ming explained in a low voice.
"A relative of the emperor..." Zhao Yang scratched his chin, half-smiling.
At this time, the woman in the distance let out a scream, leaned over and hugged the child tightly in her arms. It turned out that the servants of Zhang Yaozuo did not want to fight with the vendors anymore and wanted to arrest the child. When he went to Kaifeng Mansion to question him, the mother was so frightened that she hugged her child and begged for mercy.
But those few servants of Zhang Yaozuo refused to let go. When they couldn't pull them apart, they simply arrested the mother and son to question the crime. The woman was frightened and huddled on the ground with the child in her arms. One of Zhang Yaozuo's servants saw that he couldn't pull her away. , actually stretched out his foot to kick him, and the anger of the people watching around him surged.
Zhao Yang also felt unhappy and turned to ask Wang Zhongzheng, "Can I afford to offend him?"
"Well……"
Wang Zhong was hesitant.
It's hard to say whether their young man can offend Zhang Yaozuo.
Although the other party is Zhang Meiren's uncle, their young husband also enjoys "the same treatment as the emperor's adopted son." If the two sides really encounter each other, it is really uncertain who the officials will favor.
But personally, Wang Zhongzheng certainly does not want to be involved in this matter.
what are the benefits?
However, Zhao Yang has already made a decision: "Go and teach these people a lesson, and I'll treat everyone to a drink later."
"..."
All the royal guards looked at each other in confusion. One of them, Chen Li, whispered: "Yuan Wai Lang, this matter has nothing to do with us, why should we get involved?"
Zhao Yang knew that these people were afraid of Zhang Yaozuo, so he was not angry when he heard this. He chuckled and said, "How can I say it has nothing to do with it? When I saw those guys taking advantage of others and bullying the weak, I got angry. When I got angry, I couldn't eat. , can't sleep..."
what is this?
All the royal guards looked at each other, dumbfounded.
"If you don't go up, then I will?"
After giving everyone a look, Zhao Yang walked out of the crowd and headed towards the few Zhang Yaozuo's servants.
When Wang Zhongzheng and others saw it, they had no choice but to follow him.
They knew very well that if they offended Zhang Yaozuo or even Zhang Meiren because of this incident, there might not be any punishment with the young gentleman protecting him. However, if the young gentleman bumped into each other, according to the official The pampering of a young man is destined to have no good consequences.
At this time, the crowd of onlookers also noticed Zhao Yang and others, and their voices of condemnation were slightly lowered, as if they were expecting this well-dressed young gentleman to teach those fierce servants of Zhang Yaozuo a lesson.
And Zhao Yang did not disappoint them. He walked quickly behind one of Zhang Yaozuo's servants who was leaning over to pull the mother and son, raised his leg and kicked the latter's butt.
The servant was caught off guard, threw himself forward and fell into the mud.
"good!"
The crowd of onlookers burst into cheers and applauded.
When the other servants of Zhang Yaozuo saw this, they immediately gathered around and looked at Zhao Yang and his entourage with frowns, mainly at Wang Zhongzheng and his entourage who were equipped with weapons beside Zhao Yang.
"Who are you and why are you committing murder on the street?" one of them asked.
"Committing a murder on the street?" Zhao Yang snorted coldly and asked, "Who committed a murder on the street?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd around him expressed support for Zhao Yang. Some cheered for him, while others pointed at the opponent and yelled at him.
The man was angry and asked again: "My husband is a bachelor of Duanming Palace, a minister of the Ministry of Works... Who are you?"
Zhao Yang did not show weakness and snorted coldly: "I am the first commander of Tianwu Left Wing Fifth Army and Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Industry..."
Don't even mention that bad commander of yours...
Wang Zhongzheng and the others beside him felt anxious and shameless on their faces.
Sure enough, after hearing about Zhao Yang's military position, the other party's dignity was replaced by disdain, and he sneered: "How dare a few thieves join the army..."
Before Zhao Yang finished speaking, Wang Zhongzheng and others became furious.
Chen Li stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's shirt. He shook his hand and opened his mouth. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Who do you think is a traitor?! Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"
Not to mention the guy who was beaten to a pulp, the other servants of Zhang Yaozuo carefully looked at the military uniforms of Wang Zhongzheng and others, and they were also confused.
After calling out his husband's name, he actually got a big mouthful from the other party. What are the backgrounds of these soldiers...?
Just when they were confused, the curtains of the carriage were lifted, and a voice came out: "Wang Han, what's going on?"
A servant hurriedly walked to the car window and said angrily: "Mr. Lang, several forbidden troops have come, and they hurt people without asking the reason..."
"Force?"
The curtains of the carriage were raised higher, and a pair of eyes looked at Zhao Yang and his party.
This person is Zhang Yaozuo, the uncle of Zhang Meiren whom Zhao Zhen loved.
In view of Wang Zhongzheng and his entourage standing like stars over the moon, Zhang Yaozuo noticed Zhao Yang at first sight, but frowned because of the sight. But when he took a closer look at Wang Zhongzheng and his entourage again, he was really shocked.
The servants in his house could not see the other party's attire. How could Zhang Yaozuo, who frequently visited the palace and even visited his niece in the palace many times, not be able to see that those few people were not forbidden troops at all, at least not pure forbidden troops, but Imperial equipment!
He is the most trusted guard around the official family!
Something bad happened!
Zhang Yaozuo's heart skipped a beat, and he pondered for a moment before ordering: "Help me get out of the car."
"Yes, Langjun."
After a while, Zhang Yaozuo stepped out of the carriage with the help of his servants. After straightening his clothes, he turned to look at Zhao Yang, secretly guessing the origin of the other party.
He wasn't overly worried about the imperial equipment.
So what if those few people are the most trusted guards around the official? A guard is a guard!
The key lies in who this group of people protect - who exactly wants the most trusted bodyguard around the official to protect him?
Could it be the rumored emperor’s adopted son?
He walked slowly towards Zhao Yang, and while using his posture to salute, he saw the latter's face clearly, and he breathed a sigh of relief: he was not the emperor's adopted son.
"I... Zhang Yaozuo, Bachelor of the Duanming Palace, Gui Shizhong, and Minister of the Ministry of Industry, I wonder what I call the young gentleman?"
Zhao Yang also returned the gift with his hand: "The first commander of Tianwu Left Wing Fifth Army, Yuan Wailang of the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Yang."
The first commander of Tianwu Left Wing Fifth Army?
A foreigner from the Ministry of Industry?
A low-ranking military official with a seventh-grade civilian official?
Even though Zhang Yaozuo had been in the court for a long time, he had never seen such a combination.
Furthermore, the boy in front of me looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he has been able to obtain the official position of a foreign minister of the Ministry of Industry. There is no doubt that he has a prominent family background, and he probably got the position through his help. After all, even he is only older than this. The boy is just one level higher.
But since he has such a distinguished background, why would he go to serve in the army and accept such an unpopular job as a commander?
Of course, doubts were doubts, but as long as it wasn't the emperor's adopted son, he wouldn't be afraid.
Thinking of this, he said with an air of dignity: "The young man is so young, I never thought he was my colleague in the Ministry of Industry. However, the young man is conniving..."
He glanced at Wang Zhongzheng and continued: "...You allowed my escort to commit murder on the street and hurt my attendant. Do you have to give me an explanation?"
Seeing that this guy was still putting on airs, Zhao Yang was amused. He raised his hand to signal to the crowd around him and retorted: "Who is committing the murder on the street? Everyone present can clearly see it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people onlookers supported Zhao Yang one after another, pointing at Zhang Yaozuo, his master, servants and others and shouting curses.
"What are you shouting for? If you scream again, Kaifeng Mansion will send people to come and take you and all the others to Kaifeng Mansion for questioning!"
Seeing that their husband was being scolded, Zhang Yaozuo's servants immediately started scolding the crowd, looking fierce and arrogant.
After being threatened by this, some onlookers did not dare to yell or curse anymore, but some people were not afraid of the threat and cursed even more fiercely.
Just as they were confronting each other, the guards from Kaifeng Mansion finally arrived.
