Chapter 169: Deception Beyond Tolerance. [176]
Summary
Li Su, a 16-year-old County Magistrate of Jingyang and Head of the Firearms Bureau, led a group of ruffians, including sons of noble families, in storming the Degree Branch Office in Chang'an City. The scene was chaotic, with hundreds of people marching towards the office, causing alarm among the noble families and officials. Li Su, who had received invitations from the Crown Prince Wei Wang and the Chang Sun family, felt a surge of courage and decided to cause a ruckus. The group of young masters, including Cheng Chumo, Duan Zan, Wei Chi Bao Lin, and Fang Yi Ai, followed Li Su, despite initial hesitation. They were driven by a desire to vent their anger towards Li Su, but also fearful of the consequences. The group charged into the Ministry of Revenue, overwhelming the constables and reaching the backyard. Inside the ministry, Li Su and Cheng Chumo found Wu Lang Zhong, a middle-aged official, and subjected him to a merciless beating. Li Su, who claimed to be the Fire Bureau Monitor appointed by the emperor, seemed to have a personal vendetta against Wu Lang Zhong. The scene was intense, with the group's cries of "kill" and "fight" filling the courtyard. Meanwhile, news of the incident spread to the Taiji Palace, Eastern Palace, and Wei Wang's mansion, causing shock and alarm among the officials. Li Shi Min, the emperor, was awakened by the news and immediately ordered the Golden Armor Guards to capture the group. The incident seemed to be escalating, with the group's actions becoming more brazen and lawless. The motives behind Li Su's actions and the consequences of the incident remained unclear, but it was evident that the situation was spiraling out of control. The group's actions had the potential to destabilize the entire city, and it was uncertain how the authorities would respond to the chaos.Full content
