Chapter 166: Into the chaos(1/2)
The sound of horse hooves sounded in Chang'an City, shrouded in night, and countless eyes suddenly appeared behind the closed house and shop.
"Did the Beijing soldiers enter the city to arrest people?"
There were countless voices behind him asking tremblingly.
The torches and lanterns shone on the street, and the carriages and horses galloped past, but it can be seen that it was not the prisoners of the Beijing soldiers, but ordinary people, and they could not be considered ordinary people.
"It seems to be the master of the Weng family on Jinyuan Street..."
"...That's the master of the Du family..."
The peeking eyes of the streets and alleys kept telling many names, all of which were famous families in Chang'an City. These people were galloping on the streets, making the people unable to control their curiosity and open the door and walk out.
"What's going on?"
They asked each other and found that the carriages and horses were galloping out of the city.
"Are you going to escape from Chang'an?"
This speculation caused panic among the crowd, but soon the news broke that something happened in Shuangyuan.
"The students of Liudaoquanshan Society blocked the Shuangyuan... The one who was arrested this afternoon was a student of Society... The students all went to be worried..."
The news shocked everyone.
"Are the students crazy? How dare you do this?"
"Will the Beijing officials be furious? They will arrest them all."
"That's why these parents are in a hurry to call their children back."
"This has caused a big disaster."
Most of the people who can study have wealth, while those who can study in the society where Mr. Qingxia are more likely to study in wealth and power. For a while, cars and horses in Chang'an City were moving around.
There was chaos in front of the Shuangyuan. The gate had been closed. The Beijing soldiers guarding outside the door lined up into a wall of people. The swords and guns in their hands moved forward, preventing the students from approaching, but not preventing the students from getting angry.
"Release!"
The original shouts were scattered and chaotic. At this time, several students on the scene became uniform and led by a few students. One of the students pushed the carriage over and jumped to the roof of the carriage, took off their robe and hung it on the torch, igniting red flames and waving it, making the students around them nervous and excited.
"Release!"
"Release!"
More than a dozen officials and officials who taught the school were blocking the students and persuaded loudly, but it was useless.
"Torture and force confession! Do evil! Bullying me in Chang'ansheng!" A student shouted loudly and rushed forward at the same time.
A teacher recognized the student and shouted, "Chu Minghui, please back." Several people rushed up to hug the waist and shoulders to stop the calf-like boy.
Chu Minghui raised his hand and threw the torch in his hand into the Shuangyuan Gate.
"Release!" he shouted.
The torch crossed the wall of the Beijing soldiers outside the door, crossed the carved gatehouse, and fell into the Shuangyuan.
This action was learned immediately by other students.
"Release!"
"Release!"
As the shouts were shouting, the torches were constantly thrown up and thrown into the door, but not all the students were like calves and did not have that much strength or accuracy. The torches fell on the front door and the Beijing soldiers in a mess.
This made the officers and soldiers suddenly angry... This was considered an attack.
"Bold." A soldier who was almost burned by a torch shouted, stepped forward and knocked the spear in his hand towards the student who ran to throw the torch.
Chu Minghui was stopped by the teachers, and in fact he stopped himself. At the same time, he stopped the other students behind him without silence, and threw the torch with him as the boundary. However, there were too many people and it was impossible to control it. The student rushed past Chu Minghui. Because he knew that he was thin, he wanted to get closer and throw it into the door...
Because of his excitement, his torch still did not throw it in. Instead, he stood in front of the Beijing soldiers. Seeing the spear stabbed, the students were stunned for a moment...
The shouts around seemed to disappear in an instant. The teachers who saw this scene only felt their heartbeat was abrupt, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
With a chorus, the spear was blocked by a bamboo stick, and a thin figure stood in front of the dull student.
"They have moved their weapons! They all retreat!"
The sound was bright and calmly sent out in a hustle and bustle. The students who did not see this scene behind were also in a stir.
Have you moved the weapons?
It's about to bleed!
"They have weapons, and we are unarmed." The voice in front of us was not angry but calm, comforting the somewhat panicked students, "They have swords and guns, and we have righteousness. They use intimidation to force each other, and we use silence to be opposed."
The young man said as he raised his hand to push the bamboo stick forward. The soldier felt the force hit, and he couldn't help but take two steps back. With a choke, the bamboo stick was removed. The young man pushed the student back and sat down on the spot.
Then there were shouts among the students, and two or three students also came forward and waved to everyone to retreat and not to throw the torch.
"Back back! They have moved their weapons!"
"Don't move around, everyone!"
"Sit down!"
"Everyone sits down."
The students sat on the ground, and some of them looked uneasy because of the weapons...
"We are silent, we don't make a fuss, and ask them if they still have to hurt each other."
"We asked on the ground, the saint is not afraid, what are we afraid of?"
Looking at the students who sat down instantly, the teaching officials and officials also sat down as if they had been drained of their strength. Their clothes were already sweating in the late autumn night.
"Thank God, no blood bleed..." they murmured, "Fortunately the students stopped them themselves..." Another clever thought flashed and came back to their senses.
No... the students stopped it... the students started to make trouble, and then the students stopped it themselves... Why does this seem to be the feeling of someone being in control?
The teachers and officials looked at the group of students subconsciously. The students no longer waved the torches and shouted, but sat silently. The torches scattered around them were ignited. The night wind blew and flickered, but the momentum did not weaken, which was another deterrent compared to the previous intense noise.
From intense to silence, from advancing to raising noise to retreating without fear, how does this look uniform? This should not be done temporarily in a moment, but should have been prepared for a long time... The officials and officials of the school in the teaching office looked at the students in front of them in surprise. When did it start? Who? Why didn't they notice it at all?
.........
The noise of the students outside, Liao Cheng Duan Shan and others inside also knew it immediately. Master Zhang stopped in surprise and asked if he had to torture Zhang Liantang, because now Liao Cheng Duan Shan has begun to question them.
"No wonder you are coming in a fierce manner. So you are ready." Liao Cheng sneered, "Mr. Qingxia is even better than before. It turns out that there are a group of students who can respond to each other."
Mr. Qingxia asked again what happened outside, and was unbelievable...
"This is not what I arranged." He said, "Zhang Liantang has always had a good reputation among the students... When something happened to him, his classmates naturally came to ask. After all, you have been inappropriate. You have been arrested or not. The students are very suspicious and anxious. Before this has been resolved, Zhang Liantang was also arrested. How can the students not be confused?"
Liao Cheng said: "What's the reason for you? If the students make mistakes, they can't catch them?"
Duan Shan said: "When Lord Zong died, the student was near Shuangyuan. Zhang Liantang personally admitted that he made the flyer, and he wanted to hold on to Zhang Nai's injustice and incite trouble."
Liao Cheng's face, which was always fair, was not shame, but anger. His voice was raised and sharp: "Are we afraid of coercion by orders?" After that, he shouted Duan Shan, "They quarreled and burned my door, they were murderers, not students, Lord Duan, take them all down." He sneered, "Tell the officers and soldiers that they dare to kill these murderers, but I, Liao Cheng, dare to bury them."
Liao Cheng, who has always seemed to be in charge, is actually the supervisor, and Duan Shan was also ordered by him, and the orders he issued were not as kind as he himself.
This actually requires officers and soldiers to kill people.
Duan Shan responded in a rumor, and Mr. Qingxia and other officials from the school were shocked.
A guard outside quickly reported that the arrival of the prefect Li.
Liao Cheng shouted sharply: "Li Guangyuan, you were instructed by you. You are such a good means."
Li Guangyuan sneered: "I am such a good method. I not only instructed the students to block your door, but also called the students' parents to come."
Liao Cheng was even more angry and wanted to say something. A general stepped in from outside and whispered to Liao Cheng: "...The students are being persuaded to leave."
To persuade the parents... Liao Cheng knew in his heart that it was invited by the Prefect Li to persuade the students to leave. He snorted and looked at Li Guangyuan and said, "This Chang'an City is indeed extraordinary."
Li Guangyuan said: "Chang'an City is average, but it becomes extraordinary only after the adults come."
He changed his previous timidity, respectfulness and obedience, and his words were sharp. This was the Hanlin Bachelor who dared to be able to get along with the Song and Yuan dynasties and was demoted from Beijing.
Liao Cheng gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Li Guangyuan, you dare to interfere with the case, our family wants to participate in you..."
Li Guangyuan said: "I will also participate in you, forge an imperial edict and act recklessly, and harm the country and the people."
It is not the best to argue with civil servants, let alone a Hanlin person.
The officials and officials who had no face to argue had no face and bowed their heads first, so the only officials came to smooth things out. For a moment, the officials from the Chang'an Prefecture who followed the prefect Li in the house stood up one after another.
"Stop being angry, Lord Li doesn't mean that."
"It will not be good for Lord Li now that he has made such a fuss..."
"We are also anxious when we wait for Chang'an Mansion."
"All of you are kind-hearted and want to handle this case as soon as possible."
"No one wants to do this situation...it's better to find a way to solve the problem first."
After some persuasion, Liao Cheng and Li Guangyuan both sat down.
Liao Cheng said: "Because the students are young, I can not arrest anyone, as long as they retreat now."
Li Guangyuan said: "If you don't solve the fundamental problem, what's the use of retreating for a while?"
To be continued...
