Water Margin people

Chapter 1681 Lively
Sun Lei followed these toasts and started shopping. He looked at whatever the toasts looked at, like a country leopard.

Lu Zhishen was not interested in these things. He saw many people selling skewers, so he bought a bunch and ate while walking.

"Look at your appearance. If you show your tattoo, you'll look like a street thug!"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and started complaining.

"That's how I like it!"

However, Lu Zhishen didn't care at all. He was much more restrained than when he was the captain of Weizhou.

There are a lot of people on the streets, and the bustling Liangshan City is also a mixed crowd.

After strolling for a while, Sun Lei and Lu Zhishen encountered a new excitement.

Outside a late-night snack stall, a group of young people were fighting and cursing at each other.

"I am the Prime Minister of the court. If you dare to mess with me, I will kill you!"

A young man became furious after being punched, and started fighting with his subordinates with a stool.

"I'm going to beat you. What the hell is so great about you? How great is Xiao Xiang? I'm from Shijie Village, a fellow villager of the three Ruan Marshals of the Navy. At worst, I'll go and beat the drum to report the incident! Brothers, beat him!"

The other gang was not good guys either. They started cursing and flipping the table and started fighting.

“There’s so much fun to see everywhere!”

Sun Lei watched the fight between the young men with great interest.

"Wen Xianghe Shijie Village?"

Lu Zhishen also became interested while eating the skewers. This was going to be a big fuss and he had to watch it. It would definitely be a big fuss tomorrow.

The two sides wrestled together, punching and kicking each other in a lively manner.

It is human nature to watch the fun, and as more and more people gather around, no one wants to try to stop them.

The one who suffered the most was the stall owner. His tables and chairs were smashed and his stall was overturned, but he didn't dare to go forward and could only stand aside with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, would you like me to go?"

Lu Fang asked. He didn't want to talk. He didn't dare to get involved in such matters. The three brothers of the Ruan family were the founding fathers of the State of Qi and the current leaders of the navy.

On the other side was Wen Huanzhang, who was the prime minister, in charge of state affairs and deeply trusted by the emperor. He was a real big shot.

If these two families were fighting in the street, anyone who went would get into trouble.

"Don't go. As long as they don't harm the civilians, let them fight. Every one who dies is a blessing!"

Sun Lei waved his hands and said, what is there to persuade? If you want to scold someone, you can't use good words, and if you want to fight, you can't use good hands. If you go up and act carelessly, you will be considered as taking sides. How can you dig deeper into this matter then?

"It's such an ugly fight. The nephews of Prime Minister Wen are really idiots. They only know how to use the turtle fist. The same goes for those people in Shijie Village. What kind of fight are they? Their kung fu is just mediocre. It's really shameful."

"How about I go upstairs?"

Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei and asked. He knew that this matter was of great importance and it would be difficult for people like Lu Fang to show up. Sun Lei, as the emperor, could not show up so early either.

"No, no, I'm just going to watch the fun. Why hasn't the city patrol come yet?"

Sun Lei waved his hand.

News of the fight spread quickly, and the guards patrolling the city quickly parted the crowd and stepped forward to stop both parties.

"I'm the nephew of Wen Xiang! You guys should lock these people up!"

When one man saw the patrolling guards coming, he immediately started shouting, as if he was sure of victory.

"I am from Shijie Village and I am not afraid of you!"

The young men in Shijie Village were also roaring.

The patrolling guards hesitated for a moment after hearing the shouting from both sides. Wen Xiang and Shijie Village were not people they could afford to mess with.

"They're all locked up. Take them back and lock them up!"

The leading city inspector shouted angrily that anyone who caused trouble in the city would be locked up and arrested to talk back.

"How dare you, I am the nephew of Wen Xiang!"

The young man roared. "It's a pity for the Prime Minister to have a stupid nephew like you!"

The imperial inspector who was patrolling the city went up and started a fierce fight. The crisp sound made the onlookers dare not make a sound, and some people actually dared to hit the nephew of Prime Minister Wen.

This slap also woke the young man up. He realized that this was in public, with people watching all around him. If he shouted and yelled like that, he would be asking for trouble.

The people in Shijie Village also calmed down and kept silent.

"You are the stall owner, right? All these belong to you?"

The city patrol officer came to the messy stall and looked at the stall owner who looked terrified and asked.

"It's the villain!"

The stall owner replied.

"Pack up, calculate the losses, and go to the government office for questioning tomorrow."

The city inspector looked at the stall owner and said that it was already late in the evening and it was definitely impossible to hold a trial. Moreover, those who were fighting were obviously drunk, so they had to wait until tomorrow when they sobered up before questioning them.

"Go to the government office tomorrow!"

The stall owners were a little afraid. Ordinary people were naturally afraid of the government office, thinking that only criminals would go there.

"Don't you want to compensate for your losses? You also need to explain why you fought today."

The city inspector looked at the stall owner and spoke.

"That's...good...I'll go there tomorrow!"

The stall owner looked at the ruined stall and then gritted his teeth and said that this was all his belongings. If he didn't get compensation after it was smashed today, he would go bankrupt.

The city inspector registered the stall owner's name and address and then escorted the handcuffed troublemaker away from the street.

"The fun is over."

Sun Lei shook his head helplessly.

"I didn't expect this to happen in Liangshan City! The lord is everywhere!"

Lu Zhishen said with dissatisfaction. This reminded him of Gao Yanei and others. It seemed that Qi State was no exception.

"Wherever there are people, there are always these kinds of people. You can't expect everyone to be a law-abiding citizen, especially when they are rich and powerful!"

Sun Lei said nonchalantly, but he needed to find a way to solve these problems, otherwise Qi would decline quickly.

"You are not allowed to talk about what happened today!"

Sun Lei looked at the people around him and spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Fang and others bowed and accepted the order. They knew that the emperor did not want others to know that he appeared here today and saw everything.

The excitement was gone and the crowd dispersed, leaving only a mess on the ground. The stall owner had no choice but to clean up the mess himself. There are rules for setting up stalls in Liangshan City. There are requirements for the size of the stall, its location, and hygiene.

"Send two people to watch the stall owner!"

Sun Lei didn't come closer, but just spoke to Lu Fang.

"Yes... yes... Your Majesty!"

Lu Fang hesitated for a moment. The emperor's words contained too much meaning.

"No way, Wen Xiang wants to kill people to silence them? Or the Ruan family? No way! Wen Xiang is so upright! The Ruan brothers are such loyal men!"

Lu Fang instantly dispelled the thoughts in his mind. He didn't dare to think so. If this was true, then this would be a big deal and he didn't know how many people would be implicated.

"Brother, is it that complicated?"

Lu Zhishen had also served as a deputy commander. He had seen many public security incidents involving the powerful and knew a lot of the ins and outs of them. This time, Wen Huanzhang and Shijie Village were also involved.

"Of course, Wen Xiang would not do this, and Xiao Er would not do such a thing, but what about Wen Xiang's family and younger generations? What about the other people in Shijie Village? There is no need to be so cruel. Give more money, shut the stall owner up, and then reconcile. Wouldn't this matter be suppressed?"

Sun Lei shook his head and said that he certainly believed in Wen Huanzhang and Ruan Xiaoer, but not the others.
