There are a lot of alleys in the imperial capital city, and the streets and alleys are densely packed. Just when Yan Liqiang was riding Wuyun Gaixue onto a not-so-busy street, suddenly, just when Yan Liqiang was passing an alley, a gray figure suddenly rushed out of the alley and crashed directly into Wuyun Gaixue.
Yan Liqiang was stunned, and when he pulled the reins, Wuyun Gaixue stopped immediately. The gray-clothed man who had rubbed Wuyun Gaixue with his shoulder suddenly screamed, and then fell to the ground, and then shouted, "Oh, someone on horseback hit me, someone on horseback hit me, my bones are all broken, my bones are all broken..."
When this person shouted, many people on the street looked over. Five people suddenly rushed out from the alley next to him and surrounded Yan Liqiang who was riding on the rhinoceros horse. They looked at Yan Liqiang with ferocious looks.
Among the five people rushing out of the alley was the gangster that Yan Liqiang had just seen.
"Boy, how are you riding a horse? Do you know that you hit someone?" A sturdy-looking man in green clothes, with a half-bald head, an exposed belly, and a greasy face, grabbed the bit of Yan Liqiang's Xilong horse and glared at Yan Liqiang, "You are still riding a horse at this time, and you don't get off!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I can see that you, a young man, don't know the rules. You hit someone on horseback in the capital, and you're still so arrogant..."
"Catch this guy, beat him up and send him to the authorities..."
The two thugs nearby worked together to scare Yan Liqiang. If he were an ordinary teenager, he might have been frightened by them.
Yan Liqiang was riding on a rhino horse, looking at the scene in front of him. He felt it was so familiar that he couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that no matter which world, the job of scamming people was exactly the same, and that was the only technical content.
Looking at the expressions of the pedestrians on the street, many of them seemed to know the identities of these thugs, and they looked a little fearful. The owner of the umbrella shop next door seemed to want to stand up and say a few fair words, but was quickly pulled in by the boss's wife.
Yan Liqiang lazily looked at the hooligans who were trying their best to put on fierce expressions, and waved his hand, "Okay, don't block my way. I'm in a good mood today and don't want to bother with you guys. Just treat it as watching you guys perform a show and have fun. Get out of the way..."
A few hooligans who were noisy and yelling at the side, when they saw Yan Liqiang's lazy eyes, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts for some reason. They shuddered and the words they wanted to shout out were choked in their throats. Only the one who was pulling the Xilongma's chewing head, who seemed to be the leader of these hooligans, was still pretending to be right and refused to give in. "Hey, kid, you still think you're right. It seems that if you don't let people have a taste of Master Guo's power, don't you know that this small pot is also made of iron? You don't want to come down, right? Watch me pull you down..."
As the gang leader said this, he was about to pull Yan Liqiang's clothes, trying to pull Yan Liqiang off the rhino horse. Looking at the gangster's outstretched claws, Yan Liqiang's eyes turned slightly cold, and he wanted to teach the gangster a lesson he would never forget as soon as the claws reached out.
"Guo Si, stop it..." A loud shout suddenly came from the alley next to him.
Following the loud shout, seven or eight young men with rolled-up sleeves, wearing coarse cloth clothes and holding carrying poles came out from the alley at the same time, glaring at the thugs who were committing fraud.
"Xu Enda, stop meddling in other people's business..." The gangster named Guo Si turned around and saw the young men walking out of the alley. His expression changed slightly, his eyes twitched twice, and he said in a cold voice.
interesting…
Yan Liqiang didn't expect that this would happen halfway through the fraud scheme, so he didn't take any action. Instead, he rode quietly on his horse and watched how things developed.
"I naturally don't care if you cheat and deceive elsewhere, but if you cheat and deceive here in Chunxifang, then I will definitely take care of it!" A young man with thick eyebrows and a square face stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the gangster named Guo Si, "How many neighbors rely on Chunxifang to do business to support their families. You cheat and deceive here, ruining the reputation of our Chunxifang. In the future, fewer people will dare to come here. How can these neighbors do business? So I have to take care of this matter. I said that you guys are also people with hands and feet. If you want to make money, there are plenty of jobs in this imperial capital. The big enclosure outside the east gate and the hundred shops outside the west gate are hiring people every day. It's just a little bit harder and more tiring. Even if you work as a porter, you can still make a living. The money comes cleanly and you spend it comfortably. Even if you eat simple meals, it is fair and just. If you do this, aren't you afraid that the tablets of your ancestors in your home will be shamed?"
The young man with thick eyebrows and square face spoke righteously. The gangsters beside him didn't dare to look at his face. Only the gang leader named Guo Si gritted his teeth and showed a fierce light in his eyes. "Xu Enda, don't think that just because you have a few relatives in the Imperial Mabu Division, you can be powerful in front of me, Guo Si. If you make me angry, I will still make you pay. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way..."
"What if I don't let you stay?" The man called Xu Enda took a step forward and stared at the gangster called Guo Si.
"Looking for death..." Guo Si looked at the people watching the fun around him, his eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, and he let go of the horse's bridle. A dagger slipped out of his sleeve, and he stabbed at the man named Xu Enda.
Yan Liqiang was ready to take action, but in a blink of an eye, he found that he didn't need to worry at all.
The young man named Xu Enda was very agile. When he saw Guo Si rushing towards him with a dagger, he stretched out his hand and took a carrying pole from the hand of a person next to him. He swung the carrying pole and hit Guo Si on the wrist. Guo Si groaned in pain, and the dagger was knocked to the ground by the carrying pole. Then Xu Enda poked Guo Si's lower abdomen with the carrying pole, and Guo Si was knocked to the ground.
Xu Enda pretended to lift the carrying pole, and Guo Si rolled over and got up all of a sudden. He covered his wrist and ran towards a nearby alley. While running, he turned back and said fiercely, "Xu Enda, just wait for me..." The thugs nearby, including the one who was pretending to be dead on the ground, saw that Guo Si had run away, and they also ran away with him, not daring to stay where they were.
Yan Liqiang lifted his legs and jumped off the rhino horse swiftly. He cupped his fists and smiled at the man named Xu Enda, "Thank you for your help!"
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay!" The man named Xu Enda laughed and threw the carrying pole to another young man next to him, then took a look at Yan Liqiang and Yan Liqiang's dark face, "Your rhinoceros horse is a good horse, it can be sold for a lot of money in the capital. Those people are attracted by your rhinoceros horse and found that you look young, so they want to blackmail you for your horse. There are a lot of gangsters and swindlers in the capital, but our neighbors in Chunxifang are all honest people..."
"Yes, indeed. You can tell just by looking at the big brothers!" Yan Liqiang also laughed.
"Okay, little brother, you should be more careful next time. We brothers still need to find work, otherwise we won't have dinner tonight..."
After talking to Yan Liqiang, the man named Xu Enda took a few young people around him and headed towards Ximen.
Yan Liqiang looked at the backs of those people and nodded secretly. As the saying goes, there must be a loyal person in a town of ten households. It is precisely because of these people in this huge Imperial Capital City that Yan Liqiang feels that everything he has done is valuable. If every person in this city is a thief or a prostitute, and their hearts are not as pure as before, then for Yan Liqiang, such an Imperial Capital City should be destroyed, and there is nothing to regret.
…
More than ten minutes later, Yan Liqiang arrived at the door of Sun Bingchen's mansion. Yan Liqiang knocked on the door. After a few seconds, the face of the old servant named Li beside Sun Bingchen appeared from the crack of the door. He looked outside the door cautiously. When he saw Yan Liqiang, the old servant was obviously a little surprised.
"Uncle Li, I came to Dijing to see you today. Is you at home?" Yan Liqiang said with a smile.
"The master left Beijing two days ago!" A sentence that Yan Liqiang could not have expected came out of the old servant's mouth.
"Ah, he left Beijing. Where did the master go?"
"Go to Yuezhou and become the governor of Yuezhou!"
…
Yan Liqiang didn't expect that Sun Bingchen had left the capital two days ago. This also indicated that Sun Bingchen's trip to the northwest and the struggle in the court over the Ganzhou Ye family affair should have come to an end. Sun Bingchen left the center of power in the Han Empire and was decentralized to the local level, but he became the local top leader. Therefore, Yan Liqiang couldn't guess who had the upper hand in this contest in the court.
Just...wait...
Yan Liqiang, who was riding on the rhinoceros dragon horse, suddenly stopped. Wasn't Yuezhou the place where the White Lotus Rebellion was about to be the most severe
