Xianyu Shun had already made up his mind. He would go to the field outside the city to hide for a few days. Once the limelight passed, he would return to Yi Zhou City and continue to be carefree, so as to avoid being caught and taught a lesson by old man Xianyu. As long as he hid far away, old man Xianyu wouldn't spend too much effort to find him. After all, he was his own son. Even if he made a mistake, as long as he wasn't by his side, he wouldn't spend too much effort to find him and teach him a lesson.
Hearing that they could eat and drink well every day at the field, and that they could tease young ladies, these lackeys were naturally willing to go. In addition, they had also caused trouble. If they didn't go, they would definitely be dealt with by the Yi Provincial Governor if they stayed in Yi Zhou City. If they went to Xianyu Shun's field, they could at least temporarily avoid this disaster. In addition, they could also find an excuse to evade.
As a matter of fact, a few of the guys who left overnight had already asked their companions to report to their superiors that they were injured while hunting outside the city. They were recuperating in Xianyu Shun's field and would only be able to return to work after a few days.
"Good! All of them were injured while hunting and went to Xianyu Family's field to recuperate. Do you think this official is a three-year-old child? At least make up a different reason! Hmph. "
When his subordinates reported this situation, the Yi Provincial Governor, who hadn't slept all night, said angrily.
These so-called bailiffs who were injured while hunting were naturally the guys who went to fight tonight. They casually found a reason to get away with it and even brought up Xianyu Shun. It was as if they were recuperating in Xianyu Shun's field, and he, the Provincial Governor, didn't dare to send people to investigate.
Did he really not dare to send people to investigate Xianyu Family's field? Naturally, he didn't dare to send people there directly. Old man Xianyu was in Yi Zhou City. Even if he did send people there, he would have to inform old man Xianyu first. Then, he would send people to the Xianyu family's field to capture and investigate.
"This group of bastards, they actually used the Marshal Jie to pressure me. They are really arrogant."
The more the Yi Provincial Governor thought about it, the angrier he got. Since he didn't leave, he rested in the front courtyard of the Marshal Residence and went to find old man Xianyu.
"What? This group of bastards all ran to my family's field?"
Old man Xianyu took the leave request slip from the Yi Provincial Governor's hand and tore it to shreds. He was very angry.
It was one thing for his son to use his name to intimidate others, but a few lowly yamen runners actually dared to use his name to intimidate others. Moreover, they were the provincial governor of Yizhou, who was only a little younger than him. How could he tolerate this? Was his position as the provincial governor for them to use as they pleased?
"How preposterous! Bastard!" Old man Xianyu was very angry. He looked at the Yi Provincial Governor and said, "Provincial Governor Liu, you don't have to worry. You can enter my family's field as you wish. Just treat it as your own home."
The Yizhou Prefectural Governor said, "They are just a few lowly Yamen runners. You don't have to worry too much about them. Knowing that they won't cause any more trouble, it's not like you can't let them go. Consider it as giving face to Erlang."
Although he said so, the Yizhou Prefectural Governor couldn't wait to beat these yamen runners half to death in order to relieve the hatred in his heart. In addition, what had happened had already happened. He had to give Ang Lee an explanation. And the best explanation was to punish some of the people who had participated in the fight.
In particular, the several yamen runners who had participated in the fight must be punished properly. Otherwise, even if Ang Lee didn't blame them, other yamen runners would have opinions about it in the future. Even his prestige as the Provincial Governor would be greatly affected. This would greatly encourage some yamen runners to be arrogant and think that they could do whatever they wanted with Xianyu Erlang's support. Even if they beat up an awesome person like Ang Lee, no one would dare to do anything to them. In this way, these guys would be arrogant.
"Give face to him? If you give him face, he will ascend to the heavens. Listen to me. If you need to capture people, capture them. If you need to punish them, punish them. Send people to capture my unfilial son as well. Tomorrow, have him kneel before Assistant Minister Li and admit his wrongs. "
Old man Xianyu said.
Since the Marshal had spoken, the Yizhou Prefectural Governor naturally didn't have any scruples. Thus, he directly bid farewell and left. He led a team of more than two hundred people and went straight to the Xianyu family's field outside the city. He wanted to personally take action and arrest all those guys who had fought.
Previously, when he was treating their injuries, the Yizhou Prefectural Governor was busy going to the Marshal's Mansion. Therefore, he didn't send anyone to watch over these guys for the time being. He felt that they were seriously injured and wouldn't escape. Unexpectedly, they actually escaped to the Xianyu family's field outside the city so quickly. This greatly exceeded the Yizhou Prefectural Governor's expectations. Only then did he report it to old man Xianyu and personally lead people to arrest them.
These guys gathered together to fight and brought him a lot of trouble. It was absolutely impossible for him to not punish them. Although Xianyu Shun was the Marshal's son and he wouldn't personally punish him, and he wouldn't even ask too much about the Xianyu family's servants, the rest of the people weren't a problem. Especially the bailiffs under his jurisdiction, he had to severely punish them. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to manage the bailiffs and petty officials in the future.
The two hundred people set off in a grandiose manner and quickly approached the Xianyu family's field. This news was discovered by Xianyu Shun and the others earlier. When they were heading towards the field, they were worried that someone would come to arrest them. Therefore, they had placed hidden sentries early on.
"Erlang, the Prefectural Governor personally led two hundred people and came here in a grandiose manner. There are even twenty prisoner carriages behind them. Are they going to arrest us?"
A bailiff's good friend said.
What else could it mean? They were definitely going to arrest them. In other words, these guys couldn't escape. The more they tried to escape, the heavier their crimes would be. Especially the bailiffs under the Prefectural Governor's jurisdiction, they couldn't escape. Otherwise, they would really be criminals and wouldn't have the chance to explain themselves in the future.
They originally hoped that they could escape this calamity by relying on Xianyu Shun, but they didn't expect to draw fire to themselves. This made them very vexed. This time, they were really done for. This matter could be big or small. Even the lightest punishment wasn't light.
"The Prefectural Governor actually didn't give Erlang face. Could it be that the Prefectural Governor doesn't know that this is the Marshal's manor? He should also barge in and arrest us. "
An injured follower said.
"The Prefectural Governor has a good relationship with the Marshal. Since the prisoner carriages are here, the Marshal must have already been informed. The Marshal must have agreed. Since the Marshal has agreed, how can Erlang stop the Prefectural Governor? We can't escape. "
A bailiff said.
"Erlang, this might be true. It's the Marshal's idea. Will we be arrested? If I knew this, I wouldn't have returned so quickly. It's pretty good to be in Jiangnan."
A follower said.
"Erlang, if the Prefectural Governor captures us and hands us over to the Marshal, then we won't be able to come out to play for at least three to five months."
Another follower said.
This guy was afraid of being beaten, so he used these words to scare Xianyu Shun. Moreover, the credibility of these words was too high. When Xianyu Shun made a mistake before, he was indeed locked up at home for a few months. Moreover, it happened more than once. Therefore, the credibility was extremely high. As long as the follower said it, Xianyu Shun would definitely believe it.
What Xianyu Shun was most afraid of was being locked up at home and not being able to go anywhere. This was the most severe punishment he had received since he was young. When he thought of not being able to go out for a few months, he would go crazy. Therefore, he had to think of a way to escape. He couldn't be caught and locked up at home. He really didn't want to suffer that kind of punishment.
"Let's go, to Jiangnan, to Jiangnan."
Xianyu Shun said.
At this moment, the best plan was to escape from Yizhou City as soon as possible. He was very worried that he would be locked up at home. If he was beaten up again, he would suffer even more losses. What he was most worried about was that his father would ask him to apologize to Ang Lee. In this way, he would lose face again, and it would be even more difficult for him to stay in Yizhou City in the future. And this time, he didn't kill anyone, so his crime wasn't too big. As long as he escaped to Jiangnan, he believed that his father wouldn't force him too much. He wouldn't really capture him from afar for such a small matter. He had already thought it through. At worst, he would stay in Jiangnan for a few months and come back after a few years.
"Erlang, then we won't wait for Yang Dalang!"
A follower said.
Xianyu Shun said angrily, "What time is it now? How can I still be in the mood to wait for him? Hurry up, pack up the valuables and let's go immediately."
A group of followers immediately began to prepare. They prepared a lot of gold, silver, and valuables from the field, as well as the necessary carriages. Then, they swaggered out of the field from the back and walked on the road to Jiangnan.
More than a hundred followers and bad friends, more than fifty people chose to follow. More than twenty people quietly ran home, preparing to say goodbye to their families and then leave. There were also some who couldn't leave and could only resign themselves to fate. For example, the bailiffs and the more seriously injured generals couldn't leave. They were all public officials and absolutely couldn't leave casually. Although these positions didn't have a high income, it was still a good job. It would be a pity to lose it.
Now, they were naturally quite regretful. If they knew this would happen, they wouldn't have fooled around with Xianyu Shun. In the end, not only did they not get any benefits, but they also caused such a big disaster for themselves. Xianyu Shun patted his butt and left. When he left, he didn't leave anything for them and didn't care about them anymore. They could only face it alone.
The Yizhou Provincial Governor's troops quickly came over. Their speed was quite fast, and the prison wagons were neatly placed outside.
"Provincial Governor, we know we were wrong. Please punish us."
A few bailiffs who weren't seriously injured knelt in front of the Provincial Governor and kowtowed to admit their mistakes. They didn't dare to raise their heads.
"You dare to use the Marshal Jie to suppress me? You really have guts. You think you can do whatever you want with Xianyu Erlang's support? What kind of person do you think I am? Originally, this matter could have been big or small. I can forgive you, but you didn't cherish it and actually used the Marshal Jie to suppress me. If I don't punish you, how can I govern Yizhou City in the future? In the future, any random cat or dog dares to use others to suppress me. How preposterous! Come! Put all of them in the prison wagons. "
The Yizhou Provincial Governor said angrily and ordered the arrest of these people who fought.
These people didn't dare to resist. If they resisted, their crimes would be heavier. It was better for them to admit their mistakes.
"Provincial Governor, Xianyu Erlang left with half of the people. Should we chase?"
A bailiff asked for instructions.
The Yizhou Provincial Governor thought for a moment and said, "Forget it! They are just some hooligans. Erlang is the Marshal Jie's son. We have to give him some face. It's enough to catch these people. If the Marshal Jie wants to catch Erlang, he will do it himself. We don't have to interfere. "
This guy just wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible. He wanted to catch a group of people and punish them ruthlessly. He wanted to give an explanation to Ang Lee and establish his prestige. He wanted the rest of the bailiffs to be obedient in the future and not dare to act recklessly.
More than a hundred people who participated in the fight had basically all arrived at the Xianyu Family's field. At the moment, at least seventy of them had run away. Only thirty or so people were left behind. They had obediently surrendered.
Even though they couldn't capture everyone, more than 30 people were enough. At least they had made their stance clear. In addition, these people had more or less some status. This status was naturally compared to the lowest level of the common people. For example, the lowest position of the yamen runner could still order the common people around and be very impressive. There were also some platoon commanders and colonels in the army. They were also considered company or platoon level cadres. They also had some influence in the army. These guys actually colluded with Xianyu Shun to do bad things. They must be punished. Moreover, they must be severely punished. If these people weren't properly taught a lesson, these guys would really be lawless in the future.
These years, Xianyu Shun had done a lot of bad things. The reason why he was able to do so many bad things, other than the many bad habits he had developed, was because there was a group of people who wanted to curry favor with him. This gave Xianyu Shun a lot of convenience. Among them, there were even a lot of people who openly lured Xianyu Shun to do bad things in order to curry favor with Xianyu Shun. They would then provide assistance. As long as they served Second Young Master Xianyu well, they would be able to obtain a lot of benefits. They might even be able to make a name for themselves in Yi Zhou City.
Many bailiffs and people in the army who followed Xianyu Shun did indeed obtain some benefits. Some even got a chance to be promoted. After being promoted, they were more willing to follow behind Xianyu Shun. As a result, a very bad atmosphere was formed. Many people with bad intentions had their eyes on Xianyu Shun. Although Xianyu Shun didn't have any position, many people were willing to hug his thigh. There were also some people who had some real ability who would choose to curry favor with Xianyu Shun and request to be recommended to Old Man Xianyu. This would allow their talents to be discovered and even have a chance to have a meteoric rise.
For example, the colonels and platoon commanders who were able to fight this time had successfully become officials through Xianyu Shun's connections. They naturally owed him a favor in their hearts. Therefore, they came with a greeting, but they didn't expect to cause a lot of trouble for themselves.
But no matter what, these guys were still relatively loyal. Since they owed him a favor, they must return the favor. Since Xianyu Shun wanted them to help fight, they naturally wouldn't refuse.
