......
The fighting and brawls in Luoyang are still escalating.
Fights break out wherever scholars and students are found.
Not only were there a group of wandering knights and Imperial Guards hired by powerful figures and wealthy merchants like Zhao Ning, but even the guards of the Yuan, Cao, and Yang families took to the streets to cause trouble.

As a result of this ebb and flow, the number of scholars and students on the streets also decreased.
Not only did Li Jing, Han Ping, and others' attempt to spread rumors fail, but all the students they recommended for the assessment were also lost.

Some are happy, some are sad.
Because of the fights, the medical school treated a large number of injured people, which not only further improved the students' surgical skills and experience, but also brought in considerable medical fees.
The wandering knights, constables, jailers, and various government officials also reaped considerable rewards.
It can be said that, apart from the scholars, almost everyone benefited from the three-day brawl.
