After hearing this, Gu Tingye wanted to say something, but then he saw Yang Wenyuan and Wu Zhen coming over with people. Yang Wenyuan said: "You are also implicated in what happened today. I will definitely try my best to make up for it and solve the matter."
After hearing this, Li Hao hurriedly said: "Brother Yang, there is no need to be like this. This time the incident is mainly about us. I am afraid that Brother Yang is the one who will be implicated."
After hearing this, Yang Wenyuan said: "Even so, if I hadn't been involved, Song Qiping might not have been so aggressive. After all, I have some responsibility."
Next to him, Wu Zhen also answered: "If I hadn't forced you two to accept help, things wouldn't have gotten worse, and I'm also responsible.
If there's anything you need me to do, just ask and I'll do it. "
Li Hao answered: "I really have something to ask you for help with."
Yang Wenyuan said: "Brother Li, even if you say it bluntly, if we can do it, we will do our best."
Li Hao said: "I mainly want to trouble you all and appease those close to me so that they don't join in the fun.
Since there is no way to calm down the matter immediately, it is always right to control the development of the situation first. First, reduce the number of people involved, and then maybe there will be a way to deal with it. "
After hearing this, Yang Wenyuan agreed: "Okay, I will contact some people immediately and ask them not to participate in this matter." The rest of the people also agreed.
Li Hao thanked him: "Then you guys can help me. Li is very grateful."
After they left, Gu Tingye asked: "They may indeed be able to appease some people, but Song Qiping also has a group of people who support him, and there are also some people who want to see the joke, so the momentum is difficult to control. "
After hearing this, Li Hao said: "Of course I know this, but I don't have any specific solution now. Let's see what we can do first."
Then, without waiting for Gu Tingye to speak, he added: "I have to go back home quickly, otherwise I won't be able to settle down until they send the people there, so don't make a big fuss out of me. "
After hearing this, Gu Tingye expressed his understanding and said: "I will go back with you today, otherwise you may not be able to suppress those gangsters alone."
After saying that, the two of them returned to Li Mansion together.
Sure enough, when the two of them arrived, they saw that someone had already led a team of seventy or eighty people to block the door of Li Hao's house.
After Li Hao saw it, he got off the carriage and walked up to him. Then one of them came over and said, "Greetings to Li Tuiguan and Gu Erlang. These are the men lent to Tuiguan by my young master and several friends. They are all brave men."
Although Li Hao had some guesses after hearing this, he still asked: "Who is your young master?"
The man said: "I am the housekeeper of Songyang Marquis."
When Li Hao heard this, he guessed right. While Li Hao was still thinking about it, the housekeeper left directly and left, leaving so many people behind without even letting Li Hao react.
When he saw the person leaving, Li Hao said to the person at the door: "Who is the leader among you?"
After asking the questions, the people in front of me didn't respond at all. Instead, they joked with each other.
Li Hao didn't want to ask anymore and asked Gu Tingye directly: "Can you survive the beating?"
After hearing this, Gu Tingye said: "Of course there is no problem. This is Bianjing. If any of them don't know me, how can they dare to kill me? It will take some energy to defeat them."
Seeing that what Gu Tingye said was reasonable, Li Hao said, "Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll go in and make arrangements first. You can take them directly to the backyard later."
Then after seeing Gu Tingye agree, he went directly into the house.
After waiting for half an hour, Gu Tingye came in with people. Li Hao glanced at the people who came in. Most of them had some injuries, but Gu Tingye's clothes were not even damaged.
Li Hao couldn't help but sigh that Gu Tingye was really capable, but before he had time to sigh, he ordered people to resettle these people.
After they left, Li Hao said to Gu Tingye: "I knew you were good at martial arts, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful. After you beat these people, you didn't even get hurt at all."
After hearing this, Gu Tingye explained: "That's not true. It's because they don't dare to be cruel, so they can only be beaten if they fight hard. If we really fight on the battlefield and encounter so many people, I have to run." of."
After hearing this, Li Hao said: "That's also your ability. If it were me, even if they gave in, I probably wouldn't be able to beat so many people."
"Why should I compare this with you, a civil servant? Is there any comparison?" Gu Tingye said teasingly.
Li Hao was speechless after hearing this. He simply didn't say anything and went back to the main hall to sit, waiting to see if anyone had come yet.
Seeing this, Gu Tingye also followed him over. The next night, eight more waves of people came. The largest wave included a dozen people, and the smallest wave came by three people alone.
If someone in the middle was disobedient, Gu Tingye would go up and hammer him, and after hammering, he would become obedient.
Finally, the day passed, and Li Hao accepted a total of nearly two hundred people.
The movement here also alarmed many people, first of all, Zhongqin Bofu. Although there were no disciples involved, the news was quickly received later.
So Hualan heard about it from Yuan Wenchun, and then ran back to her mother's house to tell the old lady about it. When Hualan came, Minglan happened to be in Shou'antang, so they told the news to them together.
The two of them couldn't help but frown after hearing this. Minglan said to the old lady: "How can my cousin be so confused in doing things? He makes friends with nobles like this and gathers troops in Bianjing privately. This is a serious crime."
After hearing this, the old lady said to Minglan: "It's not as serious as you think. Since the officials know about the league, there is no problem of making friends with the nobles. What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is someone among the nobles. Regarding Li Hao, with the ability of the official family, Li Hao will not be blamed for this.
At best, it can only be regarded as a charge of ignorance and negligence, and Mr. Ouyang can speak in front of officials, so he will naturally defend Li Hao, and nothing big will happen. "
Just when Hualan arrived at Sheng Mansion, Li Hao was also called to the house by Ouyang Xiu. Of course, before Li Hao left, he handed over the affairs of the others to Gu Tingye and asked him to take charge.
When Li Hao arrived at Ouyang Xiu's house, Ouyang Xiu asked the first thing he said: "Weren't you organizing the competition? Why did you recruit guards? There was such a big fuss. Why didn't you come earlier?" Report, if it weren’t for the news report from the city patrol detective, I would still have been kept in the dark.”
After listening to Ouyang Xiu's question, Li Hao told the whole story of the matter, and waited for Li Hao to finish.
Ouyang Xiu then lectured: "Why are you so confused? Now you know where you went wrong."
Li Hao replied: "I shouldn't ask the participating nobles to borrow people. After all, once we have a relationship, it will be easy to confirm the truth. Otherwise, there will be no trouble among interested people."
Ouyang Xiu asked again: "You are right on this point, is there anything else?"
Li Hao was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Uncle, please make it clear that I am so upset by them now that I really can't think of anything else."
After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu sighed and said, "Then I will think about it in the future, if you didn't think of these things yourself, how can others help you?"
After listening to what Ouyang Xiu said, Li Hao said, "I disappoint my uncle, but my uncle called me here today. Do you have any instructions?"
"I'm not looking for you, it's the officials who want to recruit you into the palace for questioning. You'd better be prepared." Ouyang Xiu sighed and said.
