Chapter 2351: Slap in the face too fast
Fang Jun took the lead, and the soldiers led the war horses from the yamen. They got on their horses and followed closely. The cavalrymen galloped through the streets of the imperial city with their whips raised, and rushed to Jingfengmen at the east end of Tianjie Street like lightning. .
The guards at Jingfeng Gate had just been rushed over by the private soldiers of the Changsun family. They first closed the city gate tightly and then sent people to Jingzhao Mansion to report it. At this moment, Cao Cheng Wuting, the chief military officer, had just arrived and looked down from the gate tower. Immediately it was Fang Jun, who couldn't help but lie on the arrow stack and asked loudly: "Erlang, what happened?"
Fang Jun was still worried that the Jingfeng Gate was closed and he couldn't get out. When he saw it was Cheng Wuting, he was overjoyed and said loudly: "This old thief Changsun Wuji has bullied others too much. He sent people to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to kill me. I'll go right away." Let’s settle the score with him!”
Cheng Wuting was delighted when he heard this. No matter how arrogant Changsun Wuji was, how could he dare to kill people in the imperial city?
Obviously Fang Jun is just playing on the topic and wants to cause trouble...
Immediately ordered the gatekeepers: "Open the city gate quickly!"
The captain guarding the gate had a sad face: "This...Cheng Bingcao, isn't it good? This is the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor, and the Taiji Palace is right next to it... They are going in and out on horseback and wielding swords, in case of trouble If something goes wrong, the general’s head will be in danger!”
Cheng Wuting patted him on the shoulder and advised: "Why should you take it so seriously? Look who is making trouble, whether it is Zhao Guogong or Fang Shaobao, which one will rebel? It's just a dispute between these two people. Let’s stay away to avoid getting involved and suffering an unnecessary disaster. Don’t worry, I’m here and I’ll take all the responsibility!”
The captain guarding the gate was immediately relieved, waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to open the city gate, and watched Fang Jun and his men roaring past the city gate.
Doesn’t he know the reason why gods fight and little devils suffer?
It's just that he is responsible for guarding the Jingfeng Gate. Groups of people come in and out to cause trouble. If he lets it go, he will inevitably be held accountable later. Since Cheng Wuting has taken over the responsibility, he is naturally happy and relaxed.
After all, the gates of the imperial city are different from the palace city. The latter is controlled by the emperor himself, while the former is controlled by the Jingzhao Mansion. Cheng Wuting is his real boss...

Fang Jun led his troops out of Jingfengmen, galloped along the long street for a while, then turned north and arrived at Chongrenfang.
There are many officials living in Chongrenfang, but the two largest ones are Changsun Mansion and Fang Mansion, which occupy almost half of the entire house.
Fang Jun did not return home. Since Changsun Wuji wanted to make trouble, let him do it. He didn't believe that Changsun Wuji dared to touch his father Fang Xuanling. If that was the case, he would just knock on the door of Changsun's house. go!
The soldiers guarding the gate of the square gathered in front of the gate, always paying attention to the situation in Liang Guogong's house, whispering from time to time, and talking about their guesses.
"Hey! Did you hear that? Just now someone heard Zhao Guogong shouting, 'Pay debts with money, murder with life'. Tell me, is it possible that the Fang family owes money to the eldest grandson's family?"
"Are you stupid? Fang Erlang is the richest man in the Tang Dynasty. The Fang family's money warehouse is almost full. How can you owe money to the eldest grandson's family?"
“Since we don’t owe money, then is it possible that a life was lost?”
"You're right. The officials who went to break up the fight just came out and said that Chang Sun Chong was killed by Fang Erlang, and Duke Zhao came to take revenge!"
"Isn't Changsun Chong already violated by the imperial court? What he committed was a serious crime of treason, and the crime of being a traitor is a minor one. If not, the car will be broken and Ling Chi will be killed. Everyone has already found him and punished him. Why should Fang Erlang be allowed to do it? Pay for your life?”
"Don't you understand this? Changsun Chong did commit a capital crime, but Fang Erlang did not arrest him and execute him openly. Instead, he sent a group of dead soldiers to release Changsun Chong in Zhongnan Mountain. He secretly followed him and killed Changsun Chong on the canal on the other side of Hejian Mansion, along with a whole boatload of people."
"Why do you know so clearly?"
"I...this...I heard about it too."
……
"Hey, hey, who are you, you dare to ride your horse into the yard, dismount quickly... Oops, it's Fang Erlang, do you want to go back home?"
The soldiers guarding the square gate were gossiping about the news they had heard from everywhere. They were all shocked when they saw Fang Jun leading his troops to the square gate aggressively.
Look at the murderous look on this helmet and armor. Could it be that he heard about Changsun Wuji knocking on the door, and is he going to fight to the death with Changsun Wuji?
But Fang Jun, who was on horseback, didn't bother to pay attention to them. He lifted the reins and the war horse neighed loudly. He stepped forward and rushed into the square gate. Behind him, the soldiers followed closely, and the iron hoofs of more than ten war horses trampled on the stone road in the square. , a thunderous roar,
The soldiers were unable to stop him and did not dare to stop him. They watched Fang Jun rush into the square and could only stare at his back in wonder.
"Hey, hey, hey, Fang Erlang didn't come back to his house... He, he, he, why did he go to Duke Zhao's residence?"
"Mother! Isn't this Bang Chui really angry and wants to break into Duke Zhao's mansion and fight for his life?"
"Don't talk nonsense, that is Zhao Guogong's mansion, one of the best in the dynasty!"
"So what if I was the first rank in the dynasty? At that time, Fang Erlang dared to ride on Prince Han's palace. Didn't His Highness the Prince of Han not even dare to let go of anything, and His Majesty also turned a blind eye?"
"What you are saying is that King Han is Fang Erlang's brother-in-law. Fighting is a family matter. Why is Your Majesty meddling in that business? Duke Zhao is different. He is the number one honorable minister... Ouch, my mother-in-law. ! Are you really going to get in?"
……
While they were talking nonsense, Fang Jun over there had already arrived in front of the Duke Zhao's mansion. Without stopping, he rode his horse up the stone steps in front of the door. Then he held the reins in both hands and clamped the horse's belly with his legs. The horse shouted "Herod" from his hip. With a long hiss, the man stood up, and when his front hooves came down, he kicked hard on the closed door.
There was a loud "bang", and the ajar door was kicked open by a war horse. Immediately afterwards, Fang Jun rode into Duke Zhao's mansion.
The house was filled with shock, anger, and curses, and the servants and servants gathered around him.
Fang Junce stood still, letting his horse snort and dig at the soil with its hooves. He pointed at the people in Duke Zhao's mansion and said, "Your eldest grandson family is very arrogant, right? Come on, come on, today the second house of a certain family is asking everyone of the eldest grandson family." If you dare not come forward in the duel, just kneel in front of me and call me daddy!”
As he said that, he got off his horse, and the soldiers behind him also jumped off their horses and gathered behind Fang Jun, guarding the door tightly to prevent the Changsun family from closing the door.
A man who looked like a steward came forward and shouted angrily: "This is the Duke of Zhao's mansion, Fang Erlang, you are too presumptuous!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Jun threw the horizontal knife in his hand, hitting the steward in the face. The steward was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a scream, blood flowing across his face.
Everyone in the Changsun family was shocked and angry.
Fang Jun scolded: "Who do you think you are, how dare you speak in front of me? What's the matter, your eldest grandson's family is only allowed to go to my Fang's house to make trouble, but my second grandson is not allowed to come to your eldest grandson's house? Go and check it out quickly. Changsun Wuji’s sons are all called out by the young master, who wants to fight with them!”
The servants and servants of the Changsun family dare not speak out in anger. They all know that Fang Er is really too tyrannical. How dare they provoke him?
Someone quickly went to invite some young masters...
After a while, Changsun Run limped out of the house. When he saw Fang Jun, he stepped forward and asked in surprise: "Erlang, why did you break into my door?"
He was injured by Fang Jun before. He has been recuperating in the mansion these days and has not yet recovered.
The two of them have some kind of friendship, but recently Fang Jun has no intention of giving anyone any face: "Your eldest son's family has made a bloody fuss about others and made trouble in my family. I can't swallow this tone! But we are being reasonable." People, don’t do that and wait for the thief to be arrested The thief's trick, now challenge your brothers from the eldest grandson's family to a duel! If you win against someone, kneel down and apologize to you. If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please. If you are defeated by someone, then kneel down at someone's feet and scream. A daddy!”
The eldest son Runjun's face turned red and he said angrily: "Fang Er, you are going too far!"
Fang Jun said disdainfully: "Are you angry? Haha, your father went to my house to make trouble, you can take it for granted, but now he comes to challenge me in a proper manner, but you say that he is too much? I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you hypocrites, Are you the first to come? ”
As he spoke, he moved his hands and showed his stance.
Changsun Run was shocked. A few days ago, he was knocked to the ground by Fang Jun. His injury has not healed yet. If he was forced to do it, wouldn't he forget to eat and not to fight?
But if people knock on the door and pose challenges, if they are timid and dare not accept the challenge, the Changsun family will be completely disgraced...
While I was hesitating, I heard someone behind me shouting: "I'll do it!" (End of Chapter)
