Chapter 25: Street Brawl

  "Be careful, County Master." Qing Luan said in a low voice, and before he had even finished speaking, he had already quickly jumped out of the carriage.

  "Get out of the way! Don't block the road!" A group of people came from the opposite side, with a fierce momentum.

  Chu's carriage was crashed into by two burly men who were leading the way on horseback, at which point Coachman Lao Ma had already been thrown out, and the entire carriage was tilting, about to crash to the ground.

  A green leaf floated down beside a horse-drawn carriage, one hand holding up the carriage trying to push it back into place.

  Although the carriage that Chu Youyang rode in today was small, even if she had a good foundation, she was still only a fourteen-year-old little girl and it was impossible for her to hold up such a large carriage by herself.

  Qing Luan had a clear understanding of herself, she just hoped to be able to hold on for another moment to gain some time.

  Fortunately, Chu Nanyang was not one of those delicate and fragile ladies, so she had no problem taking care of herself.

  Chu Sunyang wouldn't just sit and wait for death, so he quickly pressed down on the carriage shaft with one hand, his body agile as he jumped off the horse cart. He turned his head to help Qing Luan, but saw a purple figure flash out from the crowd of onlookers beside him, landing right next to Qing Luan.

  With a push of his hand, he joined forces with Qing Luan and together they pushed the carriage back onto its proper track.

  The woman was about twenty years old, with a completely ordinary appearance. Zhen Rouyang quickly scanned his mind, but he had no impression of her at all.

  But at this moment, she couldn't think much about it either, since Qingteng was fine, she didn't care about the matter anymore.

  At that time, the two people who were rushing to the front had already run out a considerable distance. Chu Liuyang's eyes turned cold and he said in a low voice, "Qing Luan!"

  "Yes, County Master!" Qing Luan nodded in understanding and immediately chased after the two with a burst of energy.

  But the purple-shirted woman's movements were faster than hers

  Two men, one in front and one behind, flew over, one foot each, and the two sturdy men were kicked off their horses and crashed into the wall by the side of the road, wailing in pain.

  Qingteng jumped down from the carriage, his face filled with anger. Seeing the girl riding towards him on horseback, he frowned and said to Chu Xiangyang: "It's Su Rou, the young lady of the Su family from Changshun Prefecture. She must be entering the capital for Empress Dowager's birthday banquet next month."

  "Changshun Prefecture?" Chu Jiongyang sneered and gave a signal with his eyes to Qingteng.

  Qingteng suddenly understood, picked up the whip that Lao Ma had dropped on the ground and fiercely whipped the horse's buttocks, pulling the carriage to the middle of the road.

  Chu Youyang can easily capture Su Wei by dismounting him, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he is unwilling to take action personally.

  Jiangsu and Anhui were not going to stop anyway, even if someone dared to block them, they would have gone straight ahead, but now they are at a loss, can only temporarily pull the reins and shout: "Whoa!"

  However, her momentum was too strong, and such a sudden stop was unbearable for the horse. Its front hooves stood upright, and it threw her backward.

  "Ah——" Su Wan let out a cry of surprise.

  The guards beside her were quite capable and quickly rushed over to catch her as she fell.

  Su You was frightened, her pretty face turned pale, and she stared blankly for a moment before suddenly coming back to herself, quickly walking towards Chu Mo Yang.

  Zhuo Yuanyang stood in the middle of the road with his hands behind his back, waiting leisurely.

  "How dare you block my way? Are you looking for death?" Su Wan's gaze was fierce, and she was about to whip him in anger, but somehow she suppressed it at the last minute and didn't take action.

  Su Wei recognized her? It was indeed no coincidence that Su Wei had deliberately caused trouble after recognizing her carriage.

  Chu Youyang's eyes flickered slightly, but his face remained expressionless. He replied to her in a soft and gentle tone, "Dare to move my people? You're looking for death!"

  "What did you say?" Su Wei's eyes widened suddenly.

  Chu Youyang let out a cold snort, but didn't continue her sentence. Instead, she turned around and walked two steps towards Qing Luan and the other person.

  Qing Luan and the woman in purple brought over two men, one by each of them. Chu Yan Yang glanced at them with a somewhat indifferent expression and said, "Take them to the Jingzhao Mansion and tell Gu Changfeng that these two people have offended me. Tell him to handle it himself. And also tell him to send someone immediately to deal with this matter here. How dare they ride horses wildly on the streets in broad daylight? They're simply asking for death!"

  Anyone who can directly address the Prefect of Beijing as "Zhongfu Jun" and refer to himself as "Ben Gong" must be a member of the imperial family. The onlookers among the crowd began to whisper to each other in surprise.

  Chu Youyang turned a blind eye to this, Qing Luan had already cheerfully accepted the order, "I understand."

  Chu Youyang's gaze finally shifted to the purple-robed woman's face and paused for a moment.

  The woman was also exceptionally clever and calm, with a smile on her face. "I am Ying Zi, and Deep Blue has already gone to the Jingzhao government office to report the case. The government office should send someone over soon."

  Deep blue? Yes——

  Yanling Jun's person?

  How could he have arrived here?

  Chu Youyang didn't say anything else, his eyes darting around in a barely perceptible glance, but he didn't see anyone.

  Su You heard her say she was going to report to the authorities and couldn't hold back, chasing after her in a flustered rage, shouting "Release my person at once!"

  "Take her to the government office!" Chu Nanyang ignored her, repeated it to Qing Luan again, and then turned around to ask about Old Ma's injury.

  The old horse fell and although its life was not in danger, it had sprained its back. Now it's in so much pain that it's sweating profusely.

  The murmurs in the crowd grew louder and louder.

  If things really shock the government, it will be hard to end well.

  Su Wan couldn't help but feel anxious, seeing Qing Luan and Ying Zi about to take the person away, she rushed over and blocked their way with her arm, shouting loudly, "Don't go! Chu Jiu Yang you——"

  Only after forcing out these words did Chu Xiangyang slowly smile and turn around to walk towards her, saying "It seems you know who I am!"

  Su Wu's face stiffened, and she almost raised her hand to cover her mouth.

  Su He Yang didn't mind, he just looked into her eyes with a smile and said, "Do you know what you're doing? Are you intentionally trying to provoke me? Who told you I'd be taking this road today? And whose favor are you trying to curry by making things difficult for me? Now that the matter has been blown open, why don't we call out the person behind your back and have an open and honest discussion to clear up this whole thing?"

  Su Wan and her eight brothers can't get along, it's illogical for them to come looking for trouble on their own, if you say there isn't someone behind the scenes manipulating things then that's just ridiculous.

  Su Yu's heart was in a flurry, pinching her palm to calm herself down, stiffening her neck and shouting loudly, "I don't know what you're talking about, just now it was an accident, how would I have known that the person on the carriage was you? Let me go immediately, otherwise——"

  "Or else what?" Chu Xiangyang retorted, raising an eyebrow as he looked at her.

  This talent is accompanied by a very strong oppressive aura.

  Su Yu bit her lip, glaring at her furiously. After a long while, she still couldn't bring herself to back down. Just as she was about to lash out, a low, stern male voice rang out: "Yu'er, don't be rude!"

  Chu Nanyang heard this and smiled secretly in his heart ——

  It seems that today's water is much deeper than she thought.

  A young man in a dark purple cloud-patterned brocade robe walked quickly with a cold face, accompanied by...

  It was her elder brother, the Crown Prince of the Taizi Mansion, Chu Qi Hui.

  Digression

  Roll over, sell Meng, run away! Since everyone wants to delay the pot, so I decided to satisfy you, open a golden finger to lift it out ╭(╯3╰)╮
