After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

The young man moves forward fearlessly and his knife never retreats.

Liu Ziheng and Yu Feng's palms were full of sweat. They had been fighting since they were young, and had fought many times, but this was the first time they were so nervous. It was not because it was the first time they encountered such a scene, but because of the immeasurable consequences after encountering this scene.

In the past, fights were nothing more than someone gathering a group of people to fight back. Serious cases could be dealt with by simply apologizing and paying some money. People of lower status than them would more often just avoid them, and the punishment they received was a beating from their elders. Those were all matters between children, and this was the first time.

This time, they were not targeting children, nor those who were at odds with them, but officers and soldiers, and even the officials and the imperial court who were behind them.

He didn't know what the result would be this time, but he still followed along. This was probably what adults feel when they grow up, no one protects them, no one indulges them, and they are facing an uncertain future.

Liu Ziheng said, "Get out of the way." As he shouted this, his spear swept forward with a clanging sound, and it could no longer be retracted.

When the clanging sound was heard, the red-robed guard's face turned pale. He also shouted "brave", but there was not much anger in his voice. They were accustomed to such scenes, but it was rare to see them facing students.

In the first few years, he had only met guards trained by powerful families with distinguished backgrounds, and those who had been oppressed civilians and were forced to their death and took up arms in anger to defend their dignity. If he hadn't met them for so many years, he would have almost forgotten them.

The officers and soldiers nervously gripped their weapons, watching the thin boy holding the spear. One or two boys also diverted their attention and looked at Yingge, or to be more precise, at the cane in Yingge's hand, with vigilance and confusion in their eyes.

It was just an ordinary cane, but it was able to block his long sword before. There was even a sound of swords clashing when the cane and the sword collided. Could it be that this cane was specially made? The Liu family was indeed a family of military commanders...

The weapons used for self-defense are all different.

The soldiers put away the confusion in their eyes and their looks became cold. No matter you are a weapon or an unarmed teenager, as long as the doctor gives the order, these people will not show mercy.

Yingge clenched the cane in her hand. Someone rushed towards her from behind, shouting her name and standing in front of her. It was Xue. Someone also came like a gust of wind and grabbed the spear in Liu Ziheng's hand.

"Wait!" Liu Wenru shouted.

The red-robed guard snorted, "If the Liu family can't discipline the younger generation in the family, I don't mind disciplining them for you. I won't make a fuss this time."

If the elders of the family do not show up at this time, the child's behavior will be misunderstood by the adults. Children have the opportunity to be willful, but adults cannot do that. When trouble comes, the elders of the family will settle it for them, and then say with a flattering face that the child was not disciplined strictly, and that's the end of the matter. After that, there will be basically no problem. The red-robed guard watched Liu Wenru snatch the spear from Liu Ziheng's hand, and just scolded him as a rebellious son, but did not slap him in the face.

After Liu Wenru grabbed the gun, his hand trembled, he glanced around and said loudly, "I, Liu Wenru, joined the army at the age of thirteen, and retired at the age of forty-five. I have beheaded countless enemies with my spear and sword, but I have never pointed my spear at the people of Da Zhou, because I am protecting the people of Da Zhou. But now, for my family, I apologize..."

As he spoke, the spear in his hand clanged, and sparks immediately flew in front of his eyes. The officers and soldiers cried out in surprise, and the swords in the hands of the soldiers in the front row fell to the ground one after another.

This middle-aged man wearing a silk short shirt, with a shriveled and short body, and a face that looked either smiling or sad, showed at this moment the majesty that he could only have on the battlefield, like a tiger returning to the mountains.

The second master of the Liu Mansion shouted, "Come on, grab your weapons!"

His shout made the servants gathered outside stand up and respond, and a pile of sticks and spears were thrown out from both inside and outside the door.

Master Liu Er took the lead and picked up a spear and said, "I told you, this thing should be placed behind the door, so it will be convenient when you use it!"

There was a loud commotion, and all the servants of the Liu family, including the steward Zhang, stood around Liu Wenru. They were of different heights, weights and bodies, wearing servants' uniforms, holding wooden sticks and spears in their hands. They moved swiftly and in unison, and in an instant formed a formation, like soldiers going into battle to kill the enemy.

There was a moment of confrontation in the alley of Liujia East Gate. The atmosphere was frozen and stiff. The common people standing around were all exclaiming in their hearts, "A fight is about to break out! A fight is about to break out."

The red-robed guard said gloomily, "General Liu, what are you doing?"

Master Liu Er couldn't stand it any longer and said angrily, "Humph, can't you see, of course it was a fight..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Wenru pushed him back with a move, which indirectly interrupted him. "I was wrong just now. I cannot let my deceased brother down. Since he has already betrothed his daughter to my nephew, I cannot break the contract. The most important thing for a person is loyalty. Therefore, my daughter cannot be taken to the capital. I hope you can forgive me!"

The red-robed guard was so angry that he almost laughed out loud, "General Liu, are you kidding?"

"No, if you insist on doing what you did before, then I will..."

"You, what are you going to do? How are you going to, hmph, kill the officers and soldiers from Shangjing and Mocheng?"

"I am a good citizen and I abide by the laws of our Great Zhou. In this case, I will follow the law and sue the authorities." After saying this, he stepped aside.

"Make way!" He shouted in a low and majestic voice. After all, he was a general who was decisive in killing people on the battlefield. A murderous aura came over him.

The officers and soldiers in front could not help but take a few steps back, and the Liu family members immediately stepped forward.

The red-robed waiter said angrily, "Go ahead and sue me if you want. I will take him away today no matter what."

I'm afraid today's matter won't end well. The soldier said, "Anyway, I'm just a person who follows orders." He drew the sword from his waist and said, "Catch him!"

The military order was as heavy as a mountain. The officers and soldiers responded in unison, picked up the weapons that had been dropped, stopped retreating, and were ready to fight against the long swords and spears and sticks.

From the streets came the sound of horse hooves, accompanied by cheers.

"Stop, stop." It's the prefect. The prefect is here.

When everyone looked back, they saw Liang Jingtian rushing over with almost all the notices from the government office, the Tongpan, government soldiers, and the soldiers stationed in Mocheng.

It was a cool autumn day, but Liang Jingtian's face was covered with sweat. Seeing this confrontation, he became even more furious.

"Do you still have any respect for the law? What are you doing? Are you going to fight in public?" He shouted, "Scatter!"

Dozens of soldiers stationed at the government office rushed forward and surrounded them all, including the red-robed guards and generals.

Liu Wenru shouted, "Master Fu, we want to file a complaint."

Liang Jingtian scolded, "Go to the government office to file a complaint. I never try cases in the streets."

The red-robed guard said, "Sir Liang, we are ordered to take the people away."

Liang Jingtian frowned and said, "The scene is already like this, how can you lead people away? You wait and go back first."

"Are you going to disobey orders, sir? We are ordered to select palace maids..."

Liang Jingtian interrupted him coldly and said, "I know you are following orders, but I also have orders to follow. I am the ruler of a prefecture, and I plead for the people. How can I be a tyrant? I will never allow you to fight in the street and use weapons against innocent people."

The red-robed guard angrily shouted, "You, humph!" Liang Jingtian stepped forward and said, "Who do you think you are? I am a disciple of the emperor and a disciple of a saint. How can I allow you to agree with me in the street? When Liao Chengyi and Zhang Zhe return, come to me."

Lu Gongqing is dead, so what use is there for a small guard to make of his order?

Liang Jingtian was not someone that a small guard like him could appoint. The red-robed guard's face turned green and red.

Liang Jingtian looked at the officers and soldiers and said, "If you want to catch the criminals, I will not stop you. But if you kill innocent people within my jurisdiction, you have to step over my body."

Someone among the people surrounding the place shouted, "Good official!" The crowd was in an uproar and looked indignant. A good official is one who knows how to protect the people.
