The prince is very fierce
Chapter 4: Failure of Dominance
On the back street of Dayefang, the capital's auxiliary commander Gongsun Ming led dozens of imperial guards and ran to Fumanlou. Seeing his son being slapped in the face, he was furious.
He had just opened his mouth when he saw the young man in white standing on the street, who looked familiar.
This handsome man must have left an impression if you have seen him.
Gongsun Ming was appointed as the capital's auxiliary commander. Last year, Xu Buling was ambushed and entered the capital. He had seen him from a distance with the imperial guards. At this time, he recognized him after a quick look.
Gongsun Ming knew that this young prince was low-key and rarely went out, so few people in the capital had seen him.
But being low-key does not mean that he is easy to offend.
What is the identity of Xu You, the Su Wang who sits in Xiliang? The only powerful king of a different surname in Dayue, guarding the border for Dayue. When I was studying in the capital, I drank with the emperor on the roof of the Golden Palace, and fought with him in a brothel...
As the prince of Su Wang, he might not dare to offend the royal family, but what can you do if he kills two ordinary people in the capital? Is the emperor guilty of the same crime as the common people?
When Gongsun Ming saw his son being beaten, he thought it was not good, and hurried to the front, bowing his head:
"Your subordinate Gongsun Ming, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Because of the murder, most of the people in the back street ran away, leaving only a group of imperial guards and wolf guards.
After hearing what Lord Gongsun said, all the imperial guards reacted and quickly put away their knives and bowed.
Although it was not clear which prince it was, only the eldest son of the prince could be called the prince, and there were only seven in Dayue Dynasty, six of them were surnamed Song and one was surnamed Xu. Anyway, they were not the ones that the big soldiers could provoke.
Gongsun Lu's resentful eyes froze slightly, and he swallowed his words of grievance along with the blood foam, climbed up and bowed, saying:
"I am blind..."
Pa——
Gongsun Ming raised his hand and slapped his son to the ground, pulled out the official knife from the hands of the imperial guards, and said angrily:
"Rebellious son! How dare you offend Prince Xu? Today I will clean up the family..."
Xu Buling watched coldly, without any intention of raising his hand to stop him.
Gongsun Ming raised the knife, how could he dare to really chop his own son? Seeing that Xu Buling didn't even say a polite word, he felt a little embarrassed for a while.
Fortunately, the wolf guards and imperial guards nearby were not blind. Seeing this, they hurried forward to hold Gongsun Ming:
"Master Gongsun, calm down. Today is all a misunderstanding..."
Gongsun Ming's knife was naturally "taken away". He glared at Gongsun Lu with a look of disappointment and said sadly: "My son is blind. I hope Master Xu will forgive me..." Then he looked at the two corpses lying next to him:
"I heard that Master Xu was poisoned by a poisonous Gu. Only one tenth of his martial arts skills remain. This..."
After hearing this, everyone remembered this.
Xu Buling was assassinated in Weihe last year and was poisoned by the Dragon Locking Gu. If a normal person is poisoned by this poison, the blood and qi in the body are blocked and the hands and feet are weak. Only one tenth of the strength can be used. It is difficult to even walk, just like a disabled person.
The scene where Xu Buling killed people just now did not look like a disabled person at all.
Facing the doubtful eyes of the crowd, Xu Buling frowned:
"I used to fight a thousand with one, but now I fight a hundred with one. Is there a problem?"
"......?"
The whole audience was silent.
It's no problem to explain. Although a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, this camel is too big!
Gongsun Ming was half-believing and half-doubting. It was impossible for him to go up to check Xu Buling's body. He could only turn to say:
"Well... I don't know how Prince Xu got into a conflict with the Imperial Guards today? Killing the Imperial Guards in the street under the emperor's feet, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the emperor..."
Xu Buling stretched out his arms and raised his eyebrows: "If Lord Gongsun is embarrassed, just arrest me and execute me in the autumn according to the law."
Gongsun Ming's face froze. How could he have the courage! The emperor didn't say anything. He took the initiative to detain the only son of Prince Su. What if the border troops mutinied? What if Prince Su took the opportunity to rebel?
Gongsun Ming looked around, stepped forward, and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, please don't embarrass me. Please tell me about the killing of the Imperial Guards, so that I can report it to the higher authorities."
Xu Buling then retracted his hands and said in a calm voice, "I was drunk and went out for a walk. I saw this Imperial Guard bullying a girl, so I killed him."
The two Imperial Guards who came with the dead commander also reported the whole story. It was indeed the commander who beat the Wolf Guards in the street, and Xu Buling tried to stop them, which caused the conflict.
After hearing the whole story, Gongsun Ming's face was not very good. He thought for a while:
"Your Highness, just report your name. If this little commander hears your name, he will definitely not dare to draw his sword to offend..."
Xu Buling frowned, "You mean, if I were not the Prince of Su, he would draw his sword and kill me on the spot today?"
Gongsun Ming's face was slightly stiff. Dayue has strict laws and regulations. "Knights violate the law with force" is a serious crime. There are many people who have been beaten and killed by the Imperial Guards for making trouble. Judging from the situation just now, if it was really an ordinary vagrant who obstructed law enforcement, he would indeed be beaten and killed by the Imperial Guards.
But even if the Imperial Guards were wrong, it was not a reason for you to kill people based on your status!
Of course, Gongsun Ming was not stupid enough to reason with the prince of the vassal king, and nodded and said:
"Your Highness is right, I will report this matter truthfully, and the emperor will definitely be clear-headed and make a fair decision."
Xu Buling nodded, turned around and left the back street, leaving a sentence: "Just now I saw a warehouse of private salt behind this restaurant, the credit goes to you."
What could Gongsun Ming say? The wolf guards of the Detective Department were all nearby, and they could not cover it up at all, so they could only raise their hands and say goodbye:
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Fuman Building was in a mess, with broken wood everywhere.
Female catcher Zhu Manzhi watched all this with disbelief.
She had just arrived in the capital not long ago, and she had been following the tea stall outside Fuman Building for the past few days. She also listened to the storyteller who was full of dirty talk and knew the name "Xu Buling" very well.
Such things as "bullying men and dominating women", "forcing good wives to become wives", and "being a good married woman".
The image of Xu Bu Ling in her mind was that of a perverted playboy who did all kinds of evil.
But she never expected that she would meet Xu Buling so soon, and in this way.
Although she was a bit arrogant and cruel, in her eyes, Xu Bu Ling was justified in killing people.
He is skilled in martial arts, has unparalleled elegance, hates evil as much as he hates it, and is ruthless and doesn't say much...
Zhu Manzhi, who was only sixteen years old, stood at the door of Fuman Building, looking at the figure walking away with a wine gourd in hand. This impression will probably never be forgotten in this life...
-----
"Young prince, this little girl will definitely remember you. When the confinement comes out, I will arrange a chance encounter. Just say a few words of love and everything will be half done..."
On the street, Lao Xiao was walking beside Xu Buling, talking about the next arrangements.
Xu Bu Ling had exercised too much just now, and the cold poison in his body broke out. He kept pouring wine to suppress the pain of thousands of ants, which was heart-gnawing pain. But compared with the results, the pain was still worth it.
If someone kills someone in the street today, tomorrow morning there will be snowflakes of impeachment notes flying onto the emperor's desk.
The emperor would definitely not do anything to him for such a trivial matter, but in order to appease the imperial censor, verbal punishment and another half-month ban were unavoidable.
Thinking that he could be clean for a few months, Xu Buling breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wine gourd and took a sip:
"I hope Manzhi will take it easy. I'm going out to make trouble today, and I'll have to take care of it for a while, lest Aunt Lu urges me to go out and cause trouble again... Well... go and invite a bunch of storytellers to publicize that I'm on the street today. The murder is taken out of context, and it is best to exaggerate, such as:
shock! Prince Su actually did this in the street...
Men are silent and women are crying, what happened to Chang'an City...
A scream came from the Goulan brothel in the middle of the night, His Royal Highness turned out to be..."
The so-called concealing one's stupidity and self-destruction means, to put it bluntly, it means ruining one's own reputation and showing others the image of being "short-sighted and a person who is good on the outside but ruined on the outside". It is not difficult to do this, but it is rare to make people believe it, even to the person in the palace.
When Lao Xiao heard Xu Buling's eloquent explanation, he nodded and gave a thumbs up: "His Royal Highness is indeed very thoughtful. If these random fabrications are spread, they will definitely arouse public outrage in a few days. Mrs. Lu will be happy to think about it."
"That's natural..."
While talking, the master and servant drifted away.
On the other side, in a room of a medical clinic in Dayefang, Gongsun Lu was lying on the hospital bed, his face almost swollen into a pig's head, and he spoke with difficulty: "Dad, what should we do today?"
Gongsun Ming's face was gloomy, and he walked back and forth with his hands behind his back:
"Fumanlou is Zhu Manlong's property on Hutai Street. Zhu Manlong has always been filial to his father and should have taken care of him. But today, two of his apprentices were killed and the shop was ransacked. It happened that he ran into Prince Su. I can only blame him for being unlucky, not me."
Gongsun Lu nodded lightly: "The smuggling of salt is very involved. The wolf guards of the Criminal Investigation Department are here today. If you forcefully suppress it, you will definitely be bitten by the crazy dogs of the Criminal Investigation Department. How should you explain?"
"How else can I explain it to you, abandon your car to save your handsome man?"
Gongsun Ming stopped with his hands behind his back and sighed softly: "Give Zhu Manlong a message and ask him to bring out a few heads and put them on top. He will lead someone to catch them tomorrow and this matter will be over."
Gongsun Lu nodded and snorted softly: "If I hadn't bumped into Xu Buling by chance, how could I have been unable to suppress him... The dignified prince of the feudal lord was lawless and killed people in the street, and he also killed the imperial guards who were acting according to the law. , if dad doesn’t take the opportunity to read his book, it’s really hard to understand the hatred in my heart..."
Gongsun Ming frowned: "What's the use of your hatred? Can you bite Xu Buling? As an official in the capital, no one has been disgusted by the princes' children. If they follow your idea, they might be killed in the street one day. ”
When Gongsun Lu heard this, he knew that today's slap in the face was in vain, and he was a little annoyed:
"Xu Bu Ling happened to run into the Wolf Guard handling the case. There is nothing wrong with helping him, but it is also true that he concealed his identity and took the opportunity to kill people. Reporting the truth is enough for him to drink a pot, but can he still cover it up for him?"
Gongsun Ming frowned and walked forward, thinking for a moment: "As an official, you cannot care about temporary gains and losses. If you report truthfully to your father, Xu Buling will be grounded for a few days at most, but they will become enemies...Xu Buling is the only son of King Su. I will definitely inherit the throne in the future, and if there is a glimmer of love, I can always use it in the future..."
"What does daddy mean?"
"Hmm... let's just say that the case of selling illegal salt in Fumanlou was brought to the Criminal Investigation Department by Prince Xu by chance while wandering around. He didn't want to come forward, but the Wolf Guard failed to do things well and was made things difficult for him, so he had to show up to help the Wolf Guard. Rescue..."
"Ah?! This... In this way, the credit for solving the illegal salt case will not be fully attributed to Xu Buling. If Xu Buling doesn't admit it..."
Gongsun Ming frowned, with an expression that said he hated iron.
"Shizi Xu will definitely not admit such good deeds that are so famous in Chang'an. This is called humility. He will naturally remember the goodness of being a father in his heart...
...Being an official in the capital means you have to have a good eye..."
So...
