Chapter 635: Shishang can be killed, cannot be humiliated
The story of the five people who were told by the tax collector was told by the tombstones.
This story is actually very simple, the imperial court can't collect commercial taxes in Suzhou, so the factory guard Tiqi came over to see what was going on. These two horsemen also brought the imperial court's decree to arrest Zhou Shunchang, a member of the Donglin Party.
Then, the wealthy merchants and scholars of Suzhou City joined forces, first boycotted the market, and then mobilized the general public, causing serious riots under the pretext of releasing Zhou Shunchang and exempting him from taxes.
Afterwards, the imperial court will definitely be investigated, because everyone is like you in Suzhou, where is the authority of the imperial court, and where is the country?
So, the big families in Suzhou found five citizens to come out and hand them over to the imperial court to be killed. Afterwards, the big families raised funds to bury these five scapegoats, and the Confucian Zhang Pu wrote an inscription, highly praising these five "righteous men". It is said that they are not afraid of rape, uphold justice, and have the spiritual quality of "passionate righteousness and disregard for death".
After that, the wealthy merchants still did not pay taxes, and the imperial court also saw the power and determination of the wealthy merchants in Suzhou, so they no longer sent to Suzhou to collect taxes. As for Zhou Shunchang, because it was the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven to be arrested, no one dared to let it go.
Seven people died in the whole incident.
Two civil servants who enforce the laws and disciplines of the imperial court and five tax heroes.
The point of the incident, one is Suzhou, the other is Wuxi, not far away.
The common denominator is that they are all the territory of the Donglin Party, and they are all related to the Donglin Party.
Obviously, when Gonggong Wei suddenly thought of the incident in Suzhou, he obviously substituted himself into the two civil servants who died tragically.
"The eagle dog minions sent by the imperial court to collect taxes are hiding in the public house, everyone rushes in and pulls them out, and if they are killed, they will not be able to arrest Master Zhou, and they will not be able to collect taxes!"
"The dog eunuch who killed Mr. lives in this inn, and the big guy rushes in and pulls him out and kills him to comfort Mr.'s spirit in the sky!"
How similar these two slogans are.
The background is exactly the same.
The villains are all from Beijing, and the decent ones are all from the Donglin Party.
The process is the same, all of them are to mobilize the people to charge ahead, and the main envoy hides behind the scenes.
However, Father-in-law Wei is not afraid, his old man is not one person, nor two people, but has many people.
This is also the reason why Gonggong Wei dared to stay in Wuxi and not leave.
There are people under him, a gun in his waist, and money in his pocket, so he doesn't panic wherever he goes.
"Look at it, which one eats the bear's heart and leopard gall to kill our family!" Gonggong Wei was not afraid of danger, and flicked the sleeves of his robe, which was very eunuch-like.
He really wants to see what kind of demon moths are going on outside!
didn't run or hide, just sat down on the recliner to see how much of a wave he could stir up.
The general is a soldier's courage!
Seeing that the lord is like this, all the relatives and guards are brave and fearless. However, the shopkeeper and the guys of the inn didn't know where to hide in fear, and when this was a kung fu, Gonggong Wei would not pay attention to them.
"Protect your father-in-law!"
Oda and the others, who had already heard the movement, rushed out, drew their swords in their hands, and formed a small circular formation in front of the gate.
But a dozen or so were clinging to the wall, and their hands were full of crossbows.
The well-trained appearance of his subordinates made Wei Gonggong feel more at ease.
Kill our family?
There's no king's way!
Hugh said that our family didn't harm Gu Xiancheng, even if it was harmed, there should be a division to arrest me, why did you Donglin Party kill our family!
The more Father-in-law Wei thought about it, the more annoyed he became, he slapped the chair and shouted: "Go, arrest a few people, our family will ask them face to face, what is the crime of our family!" ”
"Obey!"
Oda made a gesture, and immediately a guard moved the door of the inn open, and at the same time, Sanada rushed out first with a knife, and dozens of guards were about to arrest people like wolves and tigers.
However, the scene outside the door shocked all the guards.
I saw that from east to west, from south to north, there were torches.
Under the reflection of the firelight, the heads of people were black and pressed, and they were too many to count.
Looking at the scene, it seems that the people of the entire Wuxi county are surrounded here.
The guards who had experienced the punishment of Confucius in Teng County instinctively thought of the scene of the thousands of people surrounding Kong's house that day.
Rao is bold, and he can't help but change color.
At the beginning, Gonggong Wei didn't think that there were many people outside, and the Donglin Party people were in a hurry, and it was night, how many people could come.
When I found that my subordinates didn't look right, I hurriedly probed to take a look, and this look, my teeth were sore.
hoes, sickles, hammers, poles, bricks, .....
The crowd of black presses, all kinds of "weapons" are as good as those on the shelves, dazzling, and complete.
If you look closely, you can see that it is full of people's clothing.
"Father-in-law... There are too many people out there. ”
Xiao Tian is not afraid of these rabble, but there are too many people, and he is afraid that his father-in-law will make a mistake when he fights.
Sanada was not afraid, meaning to cut a few first and shock them.
Father-in-law Wei vetoed Sanada's idea of killing people without even thinking about it, this person can't be killed.
Let's not talk about how many Donglin Academy people are hidden in the crowd, and even these people can't be killed casually.
If you really want to kill yourself, you will confirm the tyrannical image of his father-in-law Wei.
After all, the people didn't know the truth and the Donglin party people instigated it, how could he, Gonggong Wei, kill the people because of this.
In the past 20 years, the reason why there have been many mine tax supervisors in various places who have been killed by the "common people" is not because they dare not suppress it forcefully.
If the people are really going to die, it is justified and unreasonable.
"Rush out and go to the county office!"
Gonggong Wei quickly made up his mind, no matter how many people shouted at him and shouted to kill, it was always safer to take people to the county office. Zheng Duo's horse team is just outside the city, and there is such a big commotion in the city, so the other side must know. As long as it takes some time, the help will arrive. No matter how bad it is, there are still four battalions of soldiers and horses of his father-in-law Wei on the canal!
This Donglin Academy really thinks that his father-in-law Wei is a soft persimmon, and he can't pinch it!
After making up his mind, Gonggong Wei didn't think much about it anymore and ordered to go to the county government quickly.
Wuxi is an upper county, and there are still a lot of public security forces that can be mobilized in the city.
As long as you wait until dawn, the crisis will always be resolved.
Xiao Tian and the others didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly surrounded Gonggong Wei in the center, forming a large circle and moving slowly outside.
Seeing so many sergeants with knives rushing out of the inn, the people were a little flustered.
Xu is Donglin Party who secretly presided over this matter did not expect that this little eunuch still had other people, or they were afraid that they would kill countless people, or they were afraid that things would be out of control, so they hesitated and did not give an order.
So, under the gaze of countless angry people, Father-in-law Wei and his entourage of dozens of people moved towards the yamen not far away.
The people clung to them to their right and left, and followed them to the yamen.
Along the way, the sound of shouting and scolding was endless, and there were shouts everywhere.
On the Yamen side, there have already been arrests and soldiers, and it can be seen that no one dares to move, let alone reprimand the people.
In the middle of the night, such a big incident suddenly happened, and no one panicked.
Gonggong Wei and his entourage arrived at the gate of the yamen and urgently ordered the door to be opened.
Kou Shen, the magistrate inside, hesitated and ordered someone to open the door and let Grandpa Wei and his party in.
"If the people in the city are in turmoil, your county will immediately send people to the garrison for help, and you must suppress it as soon as possible." After Gonggong Wei entered the county office, he immediately instructed Kou Shen of Nazhi County.
However, this Kou Zhixian squeaked and refused to send someone to summon the garrison, but suggested that Gonggong Wei send someone to Suzhou to ask for help.
Kou Shen means that there are eunuchs of the Weaving Bureau in Suzhou, and Gonggong Wei has caused civil unrest here, and the place does not know what the reason is, in order to avoid intensifying the conflict, it is best not to move without permission, so it is best for Gonggong Wei to ask for help from the eunuchs of the Weaving Bureau, who are also in the inner court.
"Does your county want our family to die in your yamen?"
Gonggong Wei noticed that the Wuxi magistrate seemed to have bad intentions towards him, Suzhou was dozens of miles away from this, and when the eunuchs of the Weaving Bureau sent troops, the daylilies were cold.
"How dare you, how dare you!" Kou Shen hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, don't get me wrong, how can this county let your father-in-law have a mistake." ”
"In that case, why don't you call for help?" Grandpa Wei snorted.
Kou Shen did not answer.
Seeing this, Gonggong Wei understood that this county butt was not on his side, so he asked him: "This chaotic people are gathering more and more, how should your county deal with it?" ”
Kou Shen smiled bitterly and said, "If your father-in-law doesn't want to ask for help, should you hide first?" ”
Father-in-law Wei raised his eyebrows: "Hide, where are we hiding?" ”
"Well..."Kou Shen didn't seem to have a good place for Gonggong Wei to hide, so after thinking about it, he cautiously proposed a place, "This... The thatched house is hidden, and if the father-in-law doesn't like it, he can hide. ”
After hearing this, Gonggong Wei was not annoyed or laughed, but only stared at this Wuxi County with a swish.
Dog officer, do you want to send another lantern to our house to squat in that pit!
Soldiers can be killed, but cannot be humiliated!
