Aspirations

Chapter 128 Just let the horse come
Everyone's mouths make money, and hearing the discussions of the people around him, Gao Jianyuan's heart was burning with anger, and he wanted to fly up and end Xia Xiang's life with a single blow.It's just that Xia Xiang is not what he used to be. As an official of the court, if Xia Xiang is killed in the street, it is equivalent to openly challenging the court, and the court will definitely punish him severely.

Standing behind Xia Xiang, Xu Heguang looked at Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao, but he thought in his heart that Xia Xiang always liked to bluff, but it always worked, which made people irritated.Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao will definitely not be able to please if today's matter is only based on verbal disputes.

Yan Hao took a step forward, and said in a cold voice: "Xia Xianzun, just now the person in the car injured my subordinate, please also ask Xia Xianzun to enforce the law impartially and give me justice."

Gao Jianyuan nodded slightly, retaliating his body in his own way, and Yan Hao's counterattack won his heart.

Xia Xiang smiled calmly: "For the time being, regardless of whether your people wanted to get into the car and arrest them because they were at fault first, it's just that when your people fell into the river, it's obvious that he accidentally fell down, and it has something to do with the people in the car. What's the matter?"

Seeing Xia Xiang cheating, Yan Hao secretly suppressed his anger: "Xia Xianzun is boring talking like that, dare you let me search the car?"

"What is the car search for?" Xia Xiang smiled calmly again, "I just let everyone in the car get off the car, why bother? Come here, please get off the distinguished guests in the car."

As soon as Xia Xiang finished speaking, the curtain of the car rang, and a person emerged from the car.The slender clouds make a coincidence, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is far away and dark... It is a woman in light yellow, she is young in her twenties, and the standing in front of her is like a fluttering ginkgo leaf, slender and weak.

It was Lian Ruohan's maid Ling'er.

"She kicked you away?" Xia Xiang asked with a smile.

There was a burst of laughter among the crowd, because Ling'er was slender and weak, let alone kicking a strong man, he might not even hurt a chicken.

Yan Hao's face was ashen, speechless.

Then another person appeared, and Xia Xiang was stunned the moment she appeared!

Her eyebrows are like distant mountains and her eyes are like autumn waters, she is wearing a light green long dress, standing in front of her, she is like wicker in early spring swaying in the wind... It is Xiao Jia that Xia Xiang can't find!

Why Xiao Jia?How could it be Xiao Jia?Xia Xiang lost his mind for a while, and after a while, he came to his senses under Xiao Jia's meaningful and slightly reminding eyes, quickly calmed down, and smiled calmly: "Taiwei Yan, could she be the one who kicked you away?"

There was another burst of laughter among the crowd.

Before Yan Hao could react, when the car curtain rang, another person came out.She was wearing a long milky white dress, as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves and as quiet as autumn water. It was Cao Shuli.

Xia Xiang and Cao Shuli looked at each other, and for a moment, thousands of words converged. Xia Xiang nodded slightly at Cao Shuli, and Cao Shuli's eyes were full of tenderness, and something glittering and translucent flashed.

"Since it wasn't the actions of the two ladies in front, it must be this lady who kicked you away?" Xia Xiang asked again.

The crowd laughed again.

Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao looked at each other, their faces were livid, and they were too angry to speak.

The car curtain rang again, and another woman appeared in front of him.She was dressed in a long red dress, as warm as midsummer and unrestrained as the sun, and when she stood in front of her, she was as bright and beautiful as the rising sun, which made people dare not look at her directly.

Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao narrowed their eyes immediately, and a thought flashed through their hearts at the same time—who is this person?Not only is there an aura of superior wealth and nobility all over her body, but she is also imposing, faintly resembling a nobleman of the royal family, which is not much better than the current Princess Changning.

It is Lian Ruohan, the head of today's No. [-] chaebol who is always in good times!
Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan's eyes met lightly, and the two were connected, Xia Xiang chuckled: "Gao Taiwei, Yan Taiwei, could it be that Lian Niangzi kicked you away?"

Even the lady?Lian Ruohan?Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao glanced at each other, only to realize that the bright and charming lady in front of them was actually the owner of the world-famous good times, and they couldn't help being stunned on the spot!
It is no exaggeration to call Lian Ruohan, who is loved by thousands of people, the wealth that rivals the country, the demeanor that is as beautiful as a fairy, and the aura of aloofness.

It was also the first time for Cheng Daotong to see Lian Ruohan, but he was shocked by the fact that the name of Chang'an had already been heard like thunder.

"There is no one else in the car, Taiwei Gao, Taiwei Yan, do you want to come up and search again?" Lian Ruohan slightly parted her lips, and smiled with an indescribable arrogance in her smile. She stood in the car, Looking down at Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want under the banner of His Royal Highness Xingwang. Although the little girl is not talented, she has friendship with several princes. His Highness Xingwang is approachable, courteous and virtuous, and loves the people like a son. You will allow your subordinates to oppress the common people, let alone bully others, the behavior of the two of you will make the little girl wonder if they are His Royal Highness Xingwang's subordinates?"

"Of course the two of us are..." In desperation, Gao Jianyuan opened his mouth to admit, but in the middle of speaking, Yan Hao grabbed his arm, and then he realized that he had almost been fooled by Lian Ruohan, and publicly admitted that he was His Royal Highness Xingwang His subordinates would discredit His Royal Highness Xingwang, and would also damage His Highness Xingwang's reputation, so he swallowed the following words abruptly.

Yan Hao took a step forward and said: "Miss Lian, what the two of us have done is just between us, and has nothing to do with His Royal Highness Xingwang. I believe that there is no one else in Miss Lian's car, so there is no need to search."

The matter has come to this point, Yan Hao knows that if he doesn't stop, he won't be able to make a bargain, he must have been plotted by Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan, it doesn't matter if there are other people in the car, what matters is that if the trouble continues, Xing Wang's reputation will be affected. On the one hand, the loss is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he might not know what kind of hole Xia Xiang dug for them to jump into.

"You said you won't search if you don't want to search?" Lian Ruohan's face turned cold, "I wronged the little girl for no reason, and even made people jump into the car to commit murder, Taiwei Yan, the little girl insisted on going to His Royal Highness Xingwang to have a good time." Talking about it, the little girl's carriage, can any messy person get on it? Come, someone, dismantle the carriage!"

As soon as Lian Ruohan finished speaking, he got out of the carriage with Cao Shuli, Xiao Jia, and Ling'er, and then they stepped forward with axes in their hands and slashed at the carriage. After a while, the expensive and magnificent carriage turned into a pile of wood.

Everyone was stunned. Everyone could see that this carriage was worth hundreds of guan at least.

Lian Ruohan boldly pointed at the carriage that had turned into a pile of wood: "Taiwei Gao, Taiwei Yan, there is indeed no one in the carriage, did the little girl lie?"

Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao couldn't hold back their faces. Gao Jianyuan looked around and said to him: "Taiwei Yan, I'm a little tired after walking a hundred miles today. Let's rest early."

"Yes." Knowing that Gao Jianyuan was looking for the steps, Yan Hao turned around and handed Cheng Dao the same hand, "I also ask Cheng Tongzhi to arrange a hotel for us."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Cheng Daotong hurriedly came forward to smooth things over, "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Xia Xianzun and Lian Niang, the matter is over, and I will just pay you a carriage."

"There is always a carriage missing in good times?" Lian Ruohan smiled lightly, with a calm expression on his face, "Taiwei Gao and Taiwei Yan stopped the carriage for no reason and injured Cao Langjun. How is the bill calculated?"

Gao Jianyuan suddenly became angry: "What do you want to calculate? Is it possible that Captain Cost is still afraid of you?"

Seeing that things were going to make a big fuss, Cheng Daotong winked at Li Heng and Xu Heguang. Li Heng pretended not to see it and turned his head aside. Xu Heguang knew it was time for him to come forward and said, "Master Xia, this matter shouldn't be a big fuss." ..."

Xia Xiang waved his hand and interrupted Xu Heguang's words. With his hands behind his back, he came to Cao Shujun and looked at Cao Shujun a few times: "If you hurt someone for no reason, you should be punished thirty times according to the law. Taiwei Yan is working in Xingwang's residence, so he should show some kindness for His Royal Highness Xingwang, so there is no need to blame him."

Cheng Daotong came forward again: "Master Xia, I am willing to compensate Mrs. Lien for a carriage, what else do you want?"

"Xia Xianzun, this matter ends here, there is no need to hurt peace." Seeing that Xia Xiang didn't want to let it go, Xu Heguang was anxious.

Li Heng and Xi Ni: "Master Xia, in my opinion, it's better to settle this matter in private, after all, there are many inconveniences in front of everyone."

Zheng Hao came to Cheng Daotong and Xu Heguang with his hands behind his back, and sneered: "Cheng Tongzhi and Xu Xiancheng, one of you is the magistrate and the other is the magistrate, this matter should be decided by Cuifu, or by Xia The county lord has the final say, why are you two so eager to stand up for Gao Taiwei and Yan Taiwei, could it be that they want to take the opportunity to flatter His Highness Xingwang?"

Originally, among colleagues in the officialdom, some things just need to be tacit, everyone knows what is going on, like Zheng Hao, he not only speaks out but also speaks out in public, which is no different from being slapped in the face in public.Cheng Daotong and Xu Heguang's expressions changed drastically, and they cast resentful glances at Zheng Hao at the same time.

Without waiting for Cheng Daotong and Xu Heguang to refute Zheng Hao, Xia Xiang said: "As the magistrate of Zhending County, I have the responsibility to clean up the law and order of Zhending County. Today's matter is within the jurisdiction of this official, which is my duty. This official should deal with it impartially."

Once Xia Xiang said this, Cheng Daotong and Xu Heguang couldn't say anything more, otherwise they would be suspected of being offside.It is also true that, as the county magistrate, in charge of Zhending County, except for Cui Xiang, no matter whether it is Cheng Daotong or Zheng Hao, except for Cui Xiang, he can only persuade Xia Xiang but has no right to order.

Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao attacked Cao Shujun too harshly and bullied others too much. In Zhending, they even fought Cao Shujun. It was clearly a demonstration against him by taking care of Cao Shujun. Let Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao try his tricks, don't think he is easy to bully, now he is the majestic ruler of a county, Xia Xiang looked at Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao indifferently.

Yan Hao knew that Xia Xiang would not let go of today's matter easily, so he immediately puffed up his chest: "Xia Xianzun wants to kill or cut, I will accompany him to the end."

Xia Xiang laughed, and although his heart was burning with anger, he still looked calm, and said calmly, "The one you two injured was Zhang Tianxiao, the head catcher of Zhending Mansion, and it was Zhending Mansion who settled accounts with you if you want to kill or cut. I just need to settle the accounts with you for disturbing the people and intending to kill Cao Shujun."

"Xia Xianzun can do the math, the Taiwei listens to it." Gao Jianyuan looked reassuring, anyway, Xia Xiang can't touch him, kill him?He didn't dare to borrow Xia Xiang's courage a hundred times.Hit the board?With his and Yan Hao's skills and the gang under his command, Xia Xiang's arrests are nothing more than a mob, unable to get close.

"Although I have friendship with Mr. Cao Shujun and Mr. Cao Lang, I have always been fair, and this matter must be dealt with fairly." Xia Xiang turned around and glanced at Lian Ruohan, his eyes stayed on Lian Ruohan's face for a moment, and passed her Among the crowd behind, Man Tuo stood indifferently, he withdrew his gaze, and quickly swept Xiao Wu's body, and then said lightly, "I have two ways to deal with this matter, one is Jing Gong. Bring all the relevant people to the county government for interrogation. Since the situation involves about ten people, the interrogation will take seven or eight days."

During the interrogation on July or [-]th, everyone was stranded in the county office and could not move freely. Of course not. He still had a lot of things to do in Zhending. Gao Jianyuan shook his head.

"Secondly, it's private." Xia Xiang smiled slightly, and looked at Cao Shujun, "Since Captain Yan and Mr. Cao Lang have a personal enmity, we can make an appointment to fight, and the outcome will be determined by the outcome. When the time comes, I am willing to gamble and admit defeat. Life and death are up to you. , Everyone lives in peace."

Although Daxia did not practice martial arts, it still retained the duel atmosphere since the Tang Dynasty.If the two have enmity, they can meet in a duel and sign a life and death certificate, each according to his own ability, regardless of life or death.Although the government did not expressly prohibit the duel, it did not expressly oppose it.Since the founding of the Great Xia, there has been peace for many years, the people read more books and less practice martial arts, and duels are rare.

It's just that no one thought that Xia Xiang, the magistrate of the magistrate, proposed to let the two fight to determine life and death, and everyone was surprised.

"I have no problem, but I'm afraid Cao Langjun won't dare to fight." Yan Hao couldn't hold back his joy. He thought that Xia Xiang would favor Cao Shujun in some way, but he didn't want him to fight Cao Shujun. With Juan's skill, he couldn't even pass three moves.

With Xia Xiang's move, is he trying to help Cao Shujun or harm him?Gao Jianyuan was also puzzled.

"Who said I dare not fight?" Cao Shujuan stepped forward, although his clothes were disheveled and he was a bit embarrassed, but his momentum was not inferior, "Cao can beat you so hard that you are defenseless just with his righteousness. "

Yan Hao didn't even bother to say the words of ridicule, and pointed at the lancet in his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, just let the horse come here."

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished my words yet." Xia Xiang gave Yan Hao a majestic look, and said coldly, "It was Taiwei Gao who fought Cao Langjun just now, so if you want to fight Cao Langjun, you have to be a Taiwei Gao. Furthermore, Cao Langjun is the victim and has the right to choose a helper to fight with him. Of course, Taiwei Gao can also choose a helper."

Yan Hao thought that Xia Xiang would have some other conspiracy, but he just wanted someone to stand up for Cao Shujun and only wanted to fight Gao Jianyuan. Thinking that Xia Xiang had no one besides Man Tuo, he joined forces with Gao Jianyuan , There are few opponents in the whole Great Xia, let alone in the small Zhending City?Immediately said: "Yan will fight side by side with Gao Taiwei."

Xia Xiang nodded and said, "Cao Langjun, who do you choose to help you?"

"I'll pick..." How could Cao Shujun not know who has the highest and strongest martial arts, and immediately pointed behind him, "Miss Mantuo."

Man Tuo came out with his sword in his arms, his eyes were indifferent, and he didn't even look at Yan Hao and Gao Taiwei.

Xia Xiang nodded secretly, Cao Shujun and his mind were connected, knowing that he intended to set up a situation for Yan Hao and Gao Jianyuan, and said: "If Mrs. Mantuo is willing to help Mr. Cao Lang, this matter will be settled. Although it is a duel, But it can’t hurt people, so far. Or if one of the parties loses, it is considered a loss. In addition to admitting defeat in public, the losing party has to apologize to the winning party, and is responsible for compensating all the losses of the people and the company. The lady's carriage. Gao Taiwei, Cao Langjun, is there any problem?"

"No problem." Cao Shujun nodded repeatedly, winked at Xia Xiang, and smiled secretly.

"The Taiwei has no problem." Gao Jianyuan lost patience with Xia Xiang's slow handling, and said, "If you want to fight, you should do it quickly. The Taiwei still has important things to do. What else does Xia Xianzun have to order?" no?"

Cheng Daotong and Xu Heguang looked anxious, and wanted to persuade Xia Xiang not to mess around, so they took a step, but were blocked by Li Heng and Zheng Hao, one on the left and one on the right.Li Heng smiled wryly: "Cheng Tongzhi and Xu Xiancheng, the matter has come to this point, I'm afraid I can't persuade you anymore, you don't have to worry about it, there must be a solution to the matter."

Zheng Hao sneered again and again: "Cheng Tongzhi and Xu Xiancheng are really worried, for fear that Gao Taiwei and Yan Taiwei will be wronged? The people under his rule are being bullied, but they have no sympathy. Hmph, think about it." Cheng Tongzhi and Xu Xiancheng are also from common people's families, why have no sympathy at all? I am a descendant of a family, but I still know how to show mercy to the common people, you two really make me and the common people feel cold."

Cheng Daotong blushed, and swallowed what he wanted to say, but Xu Heguang sneered back: "Zheng Tongjuan, don't be self-righteous. Why don't the officials know how to show mercy to the people? When the officials have been sympathetic and merciful to the people for many years, Zheng Tongpan is still at home singing and singing every night, drunk and dreaming."

Xia Xiang stretched out his hands, and greeted Zheng Hao, Cheng Daotong, Xu Heguang and others: "Come on, come on, I'll take a few steps back to avoid accidental injury."
