Chapter 279 The reason
Su Cheng was also very curious about why the fight started. He turned around and asked, "Do you know why the conflict broke out?"
The people around him shook their heads: "I don't know. When we ran away, we saw the foreigners beating people. We didn't have time to ask the reason. We rolled up our sleeves and rushed up!"
Although many people got involved, they didn't know why they started fighting.
Do you still need to ask the reason when encountering such a thing?
"Don't roll up your sleeves next time, it will take more time!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
Although the people next to them were bruised and swollen, they all laughed.
Lu Dongzan next to him was speechless. I, the great Tubo minister, are you too confident?
The waiter who was selling wine limped over and said excitedly: "Master, you are here, you have to make the decision for us! It was those dogs who started the fight first! They beat us and even smashed the shop. The people on the street saw that the injustice was unfair and then drew their swords to help."
Su Cheng also recognized this. Isn’t this a waiter in his store? It turned out that this melee started because of his store, so he was really not wrong!
So, it’s right for him to pay the medical expenses, these people are helping him.
But are the Tubo people so arrogant? They even smashed shops?
"What the hell is going on? Let's talk about it in detail!" Su Cheng asked.
"The princess stipulates that each person can only buy one jar of fine wine by burning knives. The Tubo people insist on buying more. The villain does not allow him. He beat the villain and threatens to smash the shop. Oh, he even insulted the prince!" The waiter said indignantly.
As soon as he heard this, Su Cheng immediately understood why the conflict started. He had regulations that one person could only buy one jar of wine at a time. The purpose was to allow more people to buy wine.
No one has ever argued about this rule. Even if the wealthy families in Chang'an City don't give Su Cheng a face? It's just to send a few more people to queue up to buy wine.
These people must have been used to being arrogant and doing good deeds on their own chassis, so they got excited and thought they were a dignified envoy, and fighting against a commoner was nothing.
However, even the common people from the Tang Dynasty were not bullied by other people!
"Tell me, how did the Tubo people insult me?" Su Cheng asked expressionlessly.
"He, he scolded the man for being chased and jumping up and down, and he was like a dog." The waiter whispered.
After hearing this, Su Cheng turned to look at Lu Dongzan and said with a smile: "Did Da Xiang hear it? If you don't hear it clearly, you can ask him to say it again!"
Lu Dong exclaimed and said, "This is his one-sided statement after all, and verbal conflicts are by no means a single person's fault. Of course, the warriors under my command are indeed impulsive and reckless. If it is my subordinate's fault, I will severely punish the county magistrate."
One-sided words? Su Cheng kicked a man who was curled up on the ground and moaning, and asked, "I don't think you look like a Tubo person. What exactly happened?"
The man endured the pain and cried, "I don't know, I don't know anything. I was queuing up to buy wine, but suddenly someone rushed up to beat me. I had to fight back!"
When Su Cheng heard this, he immediately understood that this person might have suffered a disaster. After all, they all started fighting. Who can tell which tribe these people belong to?
"Mr. Duke, you have to make the decision for me!"
What decision should I make for you? Su Cheng was speechless: "You have to find the person who beat you. Maybe he has a grudge against you, right?"
The people who fell to the ground were almost crying. The first person to rush up to beat him, how could he know who it was? Where can I find him?
Besides, it’s only been a few days since he came to Chang'an, so how could there be enemies?
Dozens of constables rushed towards this side, and the first one was the county magistrate of Chang'an County.
When he received the news, the county magistrate of Chang'an County was also shocked. The foreigners were so brave that they dared to commit crimes in the street!
But when he came with these constables, he found that the melee seemed to be over.
There were many injured people lying on the ground, including the people of Chang'an and other foreigners. What surprised him even more was that the Duke of Ankang County was also there, and there were dozens of foreigners opposite him.
What a good guy, these strange people dare to attack Ankang County Duke? This is really a mess!
"Minister of the County, it's too late to get the official!" The Chang'an County Magistrate hurriedly said.
Su Cheng turned around and smiled, "So it was County Magistrate Chen who is here!"
"Monday, what is the situation?" the Chang'an County Magistrate asked hurriedly.
Su Cheng explained: "The people who beat people are all lying on the ground. As for the people who were beaten, I am looking for a clinic to treat the injury. How should I deal with it is the matter of County Magistrate Chen, so I will not overtake my affairs."
"Thank you, the county magistrate, for your righteous actions. The people in Chang'an have thanked you for your behalf!" County Magistrate Chen hurriedly bowed.
Su Cheng waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen is polite, this is what I should do!"
"Can you know why the county magistrate started?" asked the county magistrate Chen.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "It was the Tubo people who came to buy wine. They were dissatisfied with the rule that one person had to buy a jar of wine. They not only insulted me, but also smashed my store."
"What? The Tubo people are so rampant! This is Chang'an, not them Tubo!" The magistrate of Chen suddenly changed his color and said angrily.
Lu Dongzan finally couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Chen, the reason for this conflict has not yet been revealed. It's too early to draw a conclusion now?"
County Magistrate Chen said in confusion: "Who are you?"
Lu Dongzan bowed slightly and said, "I am Lu Dongzan, the great prime minister of Tubo, and I am also the main envoy of the Tubo envoy."
The magistrate Chen said in a deep voice: "It turned out to be the Tubo envoy. I will take them back and then find out the truth, so I won't worry about it."
Lu Dongzan said with some pain: "They have been beaten to death and have no idea. Is County Magistrate Chen taking them back to take them back? I have to take them back to Sifangguan for treatment. Then, I will ask for the reason and then personally ask to see His Majesty the Emperor."
After hearing this, the magistrate Chen couldn't help but hesitate. This involved the Tubo envoy, which was no longer the one who could control the Chang'an County Magistrate. Moreover, he was really afraid that he would die in the Chang'an County Magistrate after taking these Tubo people back, so he couldn't explain clearly.
"Monday, do you think?" asked the magistrate Chen.
"The magistrate Chen will do whatever he wants. Anyway, the Tubo people can't escape, right?" Su Cheng said with a smile.
Lu Dongzan said seriously: "We Tubo people have our own responsibilities. I will ask clearly this matter. If it is my subordinates' mistakes, I will never tolerate it!"
"I hope so!" Su Cheng smiled, then took Xue Rengui and others to check the wounded.
Lu Dongzan also asked someone to treat the Tubo warriors who were unknown to life and death, while Chen County Magistrate took the constables to treat the wounded while understanding the incident.
This incident would inevitably shock Chang'an, but what made Chen County Magistrate and Lu Dongzan breathed a sigh of relief was that although many people were seriously injured, no one died.
