Refining(1/2)
"Today, I will tell you about the matter of Prince Su Xu Buling, bullying men and women, and forcing good men to be his wife..."
On the winter solstice of the tenth year of Dayue Zhaohong, Chang'an City ushered in a light snow. Near the corner building of Fangshi, there were many gambling houses, and rogues surrounded the tea stalls and placed a brazier under their feet.
The storyteller spoke a lotus flower and talked about a rare thing that happened in the border:
"The last time the book said, Xu Buling, the eldest son of King Su of our court, took a horse and a spear, entered the north of the Mo, beheaded and returned without any injuries. He was called the "Little King of Hell" by the border generals. Guess, how old was Prince Xu in that year?"
"How do we ordinary people know about the prince..."
“Speak quickly…”
A group of listeners were anxiously urging, obviously waiting for the "blaming men and dominating women".
The storyteller kept it a secret and spoke happily:
"The day when Prince Xu returned with the head of the thief, he just turned 16!"
"Sixteen?"
"How is that possible!"
Everyone was upset and didn't believe it.
The storyteller swayed his folding fan in the middle of winter and said leisurely:
"This incident shocked the court at that time, and even the emperor was alarmed. All officials claimed that Prince Xu was a general and was more beautiful than Prince Su Xu Lie. "
"General Xu is a king of different surnames. Prince Xu is even more powerful than General Xu. What official should he be granted?"
"A higher than the prince, of course..."
The storyteller's face froze and quickly raised his hand to suppress the noise: "Don't talk nonsense, do you want to die?... As the saying goes, 'The trees are in the forest, and the wind will destroy them'..."
The storyteller is polite and the tea lover listens with relish. This scene is not uncommon between the city of Chang'an City.
As everyone was getting better, a noise suddenly sounded from the street:
"If you don't want toast, you will be punished for wine..."
"Call me!"
The guests at the tea stall looked at each other and saw a female constable with a goose-ling knife, who was chased by more than a dozen thugs with sticks.
Although there are mixed dragons and snakes in the wells in Chang'an, the incident of beating officials is not common, which has caused many people to look around.
Soon, three imperial guards came over, led by a small commander, and said aloud from a distance:
"Private fights are strictly prohibited in the capital, who is here to be arrogant?"
The female detective was embarrassed: "Sir, they dared to beat the official in the street. This restaurant must have hidden a strange thing..."
The commander did not go to question the thug, but looked at the female constable coldly: "This is not your place to care about. If there is nothing wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless."
A typical example of pulling the sidelines, watching the people shook their heads repeatedly, and there was a backer behind the yard of the Dayefang Gambling House. This little constable is obviously new.
The female detective was stunned: "The assault officer turned a blind eye. He knew that there was something strange in the restaurant, but he didn't even go to investigate when he walked to the door. Could it be that the Lord had a friendship with the shopkeeper of the restaurant?"
The commander's face was gloomy: "Take it down for me and let their chief officer come and lead the people."
"promise!"
After three sentences were not dealt with, the Imperial Guard took the anklet and went forward to grab the person.
The female detective looked as if angry: "You dare, I am from the Detective Department, why should you arrest me?"
As he said that, he pulled his sword and stood in front of him.
Seeing this, everyone thought something was wrong. Common censors killed people by a higher level. This constable must be a new chick, so there is no reason to use a knife in other people's land.
As expected, the commander saw that the female constable dared to resist and said angrily: "You are so brave. You not only disobey your orders, but also pointed your finger at Shangguan and took it down for me."
Seeing the situation, the two imperial guards surrounded her, and the back of the knife hit the female constable's legs, so they knocked her down. The other person threw a lasso directly and pulled her back.
The female detective's face turned red and his eyes were bloodshot, and he cursed angrily: "You dog official, the collusion between officials and businessmen is turned into black and white. When I go back, I will definitely report to the Investigation Department..."
"Don't let your mother go."
The commander's eyes were cold, and he strode forward, and slapped the female constable's face with a slap. He was powerful and strong. If he sucked it on the face, he would inevitably lose a few teeth.
The tea shops watching all frowned, but the official family was not qualified to interfere.
However, this slap did not hit the female detective in the face.
Everyone looked at each other and found that there was a young man in white in front of the female constable. He didn't hang a jade pendant on his waist but a wine gourd. He held a long sword in his right hand and grabbed the commander's wrist guard with his left hand, without moving at all.
The young man in white has a sword-like eyebrows, and his peach-blue eyes are naturally noble. He looks quite seductive and looks like he comes out of a painting, and looks like a meddling prodigal son in the world.
The commander saw someone suddenly running over to stop him and said angrily:
"The yamen do business, the idle people go away."
The young man in white had a plain expression: "Everyone eats the official family, why do you face each other with swords and swords?"
The commander pulled out again, and before he pulled it away, he shouted:
"A bold thief dared to commit an attack on the street with weapons and attack the official..."
As he said that, he drew his sword with his left hand and slashed at the young master in white.
The two imperial guards loosened the ropes and approached at the same time.
The people watching were all anxious. Ordinary people had a conflict with officers and soldiers, and they deserved to be beaten to death. This kid in white clothes was too impulsive. Isn’t it an excuse to bring weapons to others?
The female detective was full of anxiety, just as she wanted this bold rich family to stop meddling in other people's business, but she never thought that a cold light suddenly flashed in front of her.
The commander slashed out with a knife, and the coldness in his heart penetrated into his bones. He wanted to lift the knife to block it, but it was too late.
wipe--
The young master in white came first with a long sword in his hand, swept it past the commander, and took back the scabbard cleanly.
In a glance, four words were engraved on the sword blade:
‘Win without order’
Xu Buling’s “Buling”.
The blood light flew away, bringing out a curtain of blood beads in the air.
The two imperial guards were facing a great enemy, and it was too late to realize that something was wrong.
The commander's whole body was tense, the official sword fell to the ground, covering his throat with his hands, blood flowed between his fingers, and his eyes almost protruded from his eye sockets. He stared at the young master in white incredible, staggered away a few steps and fell to the ground, and the blood penetrated into the gaps on the bluestone ground.
A sword seals the throat.
On the back street, there was a silence in an instant.
The idiots watching from afar were all pale and frightened and stunned on the spot.
Under the underground of Chang'an City, there are many gangs who fight to death, but they still have to abide by the law on the surface. They dare to kill people in the street, but they basically cannot escape the death of killing officials in the street. No one in Chang'an City dares to do it, but this is at the feet of the emperor!
A few drops of blood splashed on the female detective's face. Looking at the Imperial Army commander who had twitched for a few times, his face turned pale and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.
Just now, the young master in white couldn't see clearly how much the sword he drew, and the commander of the imperial guards died like this?
The young man in white put away his long sword and looked at the two confused imperial guards next to him.
The two imperial guards were shocked and were both chaotic and slowly retreated with their swords: "You...you are so brave... under the feet of the emperor, you dare to kill the commander of the imperial guards in the street..."

He shivered and as he spoke, he entered the alley next to him. Within a moment, several fireworks of communication rose.
"ah--"
A scream came from somewhere.
The back street was in a mess, and more than a dozen thugs outside the restaurant were at a loss.
The female detective stared at the body for a long time. It was not until the young man in white stretched out his hand to support her that she came to her senses and suddenly turned it up, anxious and angry:
"You...how can you kill someone? Killing an official is equivalent to rebellion, you..."
The young man in white glanced at the body: "The collusion between officials and businessmen, indulged in condom and shelter, attacked the robes, and any one of them was enough for him to die, let alone attack me."
The female detective was already panicked. She looked at the young master in white whom she didn't know at all and said anxiously:
"No matter how serious the crime is, it will be punished before the three departments can be executed. You... you are so impulsive, how can you end?"
The young man in white did not answer and walked towards the restaurant with his sword.
The thugs in the restaurant were facing a great enemy. The opponent had already killed the officials and became thieves. If they killed people, they would help the government arrest the bandits.
The thug's leader's eyes turned cold, and two short knives slid out of his sleeves, one in front and one behind, and the chest of the white-clothed man was attacked.
Before the female detective said "Be careful" was expressed, she saw the young man in white stepping onto the steps and a crisp sound of "bang" came.
The stone slab showed cracks, and the young man in white was like a vicious tiger rushing to eat. In the blink of an eye, he hit the thug in the restaurant, pressing his knees against his chest.
Bang—
Bone fissure and chest sinking.
Before the thug leader could react, two pits appeared on his chest, and the back of the short thug was torn apart.
