Kang Yueran arrived with two yamen runners, who shouted, "Stop!"
The three men jumped off the carriage, and a yamen runner asked, "What happened? Who started it first?"
Mao Qiang pointed at Mo Lizheng and said, "It was him. He brought people here to cause trouble, and he was the one who hit Jiang Lizheng first."
