Gao Panlong was a little discouraged, thinking that he could capture the little eunuch who killed the teacher with one blow, but he didn't want to be protected and fled into the county office.

Wuxi Zhixian Kou Shen is a frequent visitor to Donglin Academy, and he has a good relationship with Donglin, but whether he will hand over the internal prison, Gao Panlong is really innumerable.

After all, that Kou Shen was different from them, he was serving as a seal official.

The inner prisoner was really killed in his yamen, and it is difficult to escape the blame.

Therefore, the current situation is a bit tricky.

If Kou Shen dies to protect the inner prison for the sake of the black gauze hat, it will not be easy to come hard in a moment.

It is easy to capture and kill the inner prisoner surnamed Wei in that inn, and it is easy to clean up afterwards, as long as it is pushed to the indignant people.

If the law does not blame the public, where can people be arrested?

However, if you want to order people to rush into the county government to arrest people and openly confront the government, the consequences will be much more serious, and there will be many casualties.

How innocent are innocent!

Gao Panlong couldn't bear the needless bloodshed of the people.

However, he only had some concerns, and when the time came, he would definitely not frown if the people broke through the county government.

Kong said that he became benevolent, and Meng said that he took righteousness.

No matter what, this Wuxi and the entire Jiangnan are the territory of his Donglin Party, if he can't even deal with a little eunuch, wouldn't it make those traitors laugh!

Moreover, after inciting the people and getting out afterwards, Gao Panlong and the party have long been familiar with each other.

Not to mention, they were manipulated in Suzhou nine years ago.

Nine years ago, Sun Long, then a eunuch at the Suzhou Weaving Bureau, felt that tax evasion in the local silk weaving industry was too rampant, which caused the already low commercial tax to shrink, so that he had to borrow other silver to make up for it. If this continued, Sun Long decided that no matter how prosperous the silk weaving industry in Suzhou was, the imperial court would not be able to benefit from it.

Therefore, Sun Long made up his mind to crack down on tax evasion and recover losses for the imperial court and the national treasury. Local people of insight such as Huang Jianjie and Tang Xin agreed with Sun Long's proposition and proposed to tax the silk weaving industry, one for each machine, and three yuan a year for tax silver.

A machine tax is three dollars a year, but it is a very low tax.

Feng Menglong, a famous artist in the south of the Yangtze River, wrote "Shi Runze Tanque Meets Friends", saying that Shi Fu in Shengze Town picked up six taels of silver, and calculated that he could use this silver to add a loom, and the profits from this loom could be accumulated for a year, and another loom could be added.

If a loom is about six taels of silver, then the profit of a loom is at least six taels of silver a year. The tax rate of three cents a year is only one-twentieth of the profit, and this tax rate cannot be lower. What's more, the annual profit of a loom is only six taels of silver, which is still a conservative estimate of Feng Menglong, a layman.

As a result, the rich merchants engaged in the silk weaving industry still refused to pay this tax. They found the Donglin Party to discuss, under the instigation of Gu Xiancheng, Gao Panlong and others, the local silk weaving workers in Suzhou launched a riot, they filled the streets and alleys, killed Huang Jianjie with flying stones, burned 12 families, and also plundered the squire Ding Yuanfu who lent money to Huang Jianjie.

Sun Long was so frightened that he hid in the house of the former chief assistant Shen Shi for two days, and then fled to Hangzhou by boat, resigned from his job as a taxman, and never went to Suzhou again.

In this way, the tax collector is naturally exempted.

And the wealthy businessmen and gentry celebrated each other, and the magistrates were also smiling.

Gao Panlong is also in the limelight in this matter, and everyone in Jiangnan knows that he is the eldest disciple of Mr. Donglin.

It's a pity that this time is different from the last time the weaver riot, Gao Panlong felt that the local villagers were a little chaotic.

At that time, when the weavers rioted and resisted taxes, they were quite disciplined, all naked, not holding a weapon, not robbing a thing, and the local gentry stopped when they shouted to stop, and they beat when they shouted. In advance, even the people who came out to bear the blame communicated with the government, killed people's lives, destroyed people's homes, and did not punish them afterwards.

only called a substitute for the dead ghost Ge Cheng to come out to take responsibility, in order to be grateful for this Ge Cheng, the officials and gentry also renamed Ge Cheng Ge Xian, who was treated very politely in prison, everyone was called a righteous man, and some people were called "generals".

Today, the people and the villagers have gathered in a hurry, and there is no agreement between them, and there is chaos. He never had a good conversation with Kou Shen, so Kou Shen didn't know the details, and he took the liberty of putting people into the county office, causing trouble to the academy in vain.

Regarding the reason for the death of his mentor, in fact, Gao Panlong also thought about it calmly, if he really wanted to say that it had something to do with the internal prison surnamed Wei, it was not necessarily true. But to say that it doesn't matter, it's certainly not appropriate.

Therefore, he was not prepared to ask for the life of the inner eunuch surnamed Wei, but according to Xiu Wugong, this inner eunuch surnamed Wei was the fortunate person who was dismissed by Li Chengliang of Liaodong who had been harmed before, and he suddenly went south to the Gu family, and he must not have a good heart.

Then he must be removed.

How to divide, there are many means.

Gao Panlong didn't think there was any conspiracy here, and to deal with the tax collectors and the traitorous temples in the palace, he had to use shady tricks and special means.

When Xiuwu Gong presided over the Fengyang Governor's Affairs, he repeatedly asked the death row prisoners to climb and falsely accuse the tax officials under the eunuchs, and then use this as an excuse to kill them. In those years, which of the internal supervisors of Nanzhili dared to make trouble?

What does this mean?

The saint must also have a thunderbolt method, otherwise how can Xiaoxiao be in awe!

There is no need to use death row prisoners today, just one people's righteous indignation can make the inner prisoner surnamed Wei die without a place to be buried!

At present, the Jingshi Party is a little unfavorable to fight for Donglin, and the Maharaja is sick and dead, and the people's hearts are even more unstable.

Xianggong Xiuwu made it clear that this time he wanted to use the death of Mr. to make a big move, so as to boost the hearts of the party.

And it is most appropriate to use a small internal official and supervisor as the candidate for this sacrificial flag.

This kind of person, whose status is not high, has no major entanglement in the palace, and he will be killed when he kills him. Afterwards, if the inner court really wants to investigate, it's a big deal to buy a righteous man with a lot of money.

I was thinking about whether to wait until dawn to do it or do it now, but two people came together.

However, it is An Xifan, the former director of the Ministry of Rites and one of the Eight Gentlemen of Donglin, and Xue Fujiao, the former assistant teacher of Guozijian and one of the Eight Gentlemen of Donglin.

This Xue Fujiao, like An Xifan, has offended the current emperor and been degraded, and now they have resigned to teach in Donglin Academy, waiting for one day to be reinstated.

On this day, there is a consensus in Donglin.

It was the day when the new emperor ascended the throne.

The one in the East Palace can get his wish, and it all depends on Donglin to strive for the country!

In the future, will there be no return within the party?

After Xue Fujiao and An Xifan came, they saluted with everyone one by one, and then whispered a few words with Gao Panlong.

The rest of the academy were all confused, looking at each other, not knowing what Xue Fu taught them to say to Gao Panlong, which made him change in an instant.

Gao Panlong said arrogantly: "Duke Xiuwu has sent people to Zhou Zuowei, and he has written to Suzhou Fucheng, everything here has been stated, we can move!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all smiled knowingly and were confident.

In the county yamen in the city, Gonggong Wei looked at Kou Shen, the magistrate who was tied up by five flowers, and said with a smile: "Our family is coming south on behalf of the emperor, but you, the dog official, call our family to hide the thatched pit, you say, do you want to ask the emperor to find?" ”

Author's note: To say that Donglin is a bad thing about the country, we can't talk about it, but we must really point out that the textile tax is a clear example. A closer look at the praise of Donglin in the history books is all evidence of crime.
