0577 Brawl in the capital
Jiankang City had an accident again, and someone died again, and it was also inseparable from Shen Zhezi!
The cause of the incident was very simple, Shen Zhezi's argument about being scattered and hurting himself in Guangling was transmitted back to the capital through his companions, and it soon caused widespread discussion in the capital. Originally, this rhetoric was nothing, although it is becoming popular nowadays, but not everyone is blind to the harm of cold food to the body. Shen Zhezi has this kind of statement, and that is normal.
But the problem lies in the fact that he not only persuaded and injured himself, but also involved it in the Northern Expedition to fight slaves. In the process of disseminating this speech, the content of this aspect has been strengthened and promoted. As a result, after a period of development, the focus of the discussion on the current theory is no longer that obedience is harmful, but directly linked to whether it is loyal or not.
A group of angry young people have long gathered in the Shen Yuan Star Picking Building, shouting slogans for slavery. No matter how passionate and strong the slogan is, it will always make people tired of shouting too much. At this time, with the support of new theories, it was simply to immediately enshrine Shen Zhezi's argument as if he were a saint, and happily opened up a new position of speech.
So this group of people happily launched a feat of incineration on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and the cold food powder itself is only composed of several mineral stone powders and various medicinal powders, and it cannot be burned. But these people loaded the bulk capital on the ship, directly burned the boat to the sinking river, and at the same time shouted the slogan "Never scatter the Mingzhi, strengthen the body and kill the slaves".
Such a drastic move naturally caused dissatisfaction among others. Whether you obey or not, it's just a personal interest, how can you become an unfaithful and unrighteous person?
There are more or fewer in the capital, and there is no shortage of poor and boring families. Shen Yuan was so fierce that the opponents were not idle, defending their right to disperse in words and actions, and even took a boat to the vicinity of the Star Picking Tower, dispersed in groups, and gathered people to carnival.
The two sides were-for-tat, each holding their own arguments and arguing with each other, and at first they were able to express their own opinions and stop at the quarrel. But gradually anger grew, and they insulted each other and even broke out into physical conflicts. In one of the largest brawls, hundreds of participants on both sides, and as a result, seven or eight people were killed on the spot and dozens were wounded!
For a while, there was a big uproar in the capital!
The urgent letter from the capital only described the general situation and what happened next, but did not go into details. Who is the dead, who is the injured, whether someone is secretly contributing to the trouble, everything is still in chaos.
When this kind of thing happened, Shen Zhezi naturally didn't want to stay in Liyang for a long time, even if he left to return to the capital. Yu Yi also understood that this matter could be big or small, and the situation was urgent, so he directly summoned thousands of elite troops, and sent Shen Zhezi to Niuzhu along the way, and did not return to the town, so he stayed here and waited for the news of the further development of the situation, ready to rush to the aid of Gyeonggi at any time.
On the way back, Shen Zhezi was full of anxiety and self-blame. With the recent accidents, he had to review whether his attitude and some practices were too radical.
With the contemplation and introspection along the way, Shen Zhezi's mood also changed from the shock of learning the news at the beginning to calm.
On the whole, this accident is not a bad thing, at least it shows that the people of the time are not blindly worshipping the mystical retreat, but there are still a group of radical and enthusiastic people who dare to move against the tide and make different voices. Whether this enthusiasm is artificially created, or the blood in the hearts of the people is stimulated, it is a good thing for the world!
What Shen Zhezi felt uneasy was that although the young people in Shen Yuan were gathered by him, these people were gradually out of his control, and their views and behaviors were too extreme. In the long run, not only will it not be able to provide any good guidance to the world, but it is very likely to become a source of chaos and disturb the world's peace.
At the same time, Shen Zhezi also realized that he was deficient after all, and did not have a sufficient understanding of his influence. In previous years, although he was on the wrong side, he has always been very stable, even in a chaotic situation, he can still be calm and well-founded. It is precisely because of his past efforts that he is now truly standing in the center of the current situation and is not ignored by the world.
It is also because of his current growth in power and influence, his every word and deed, every move is concerned, and in this complex world, everyone will make their own interpretation of this. Therefore, his words and deeds, no matter what the original intention, will produce great deformation and distortion in the crowd.
In short, although the influence is sufficient, Shen Zhezi has not yet adapted to this major change of circumstances. In this regard, compared with those bigwigs who have been in high positions for a long time in the current situation, Shen Zhezi is still a little immature.
Introspection does not mean belittlement and fault-finding oneself, in the process of introspection, Shen Zhezi also found his merits, that is, he kept his original intention, was determined not to change, and did not want to change with the way of the world. He does not belong to this era, and his thoughts and thoughts are contrary to the mainstream of this era, once his words and deeds are amplified and highlighted by the crowd, then it will inevitably have an impact on the mainstream of the times!
Therefore, this change in the capital seems to be sudden and catches people off guard, but it is actually inevitable. It is something that will inevitably occur for Shen Zhezi, as an external intervener, to have a profound impact on the world. If this does not happen, then for Shen Zhezi, his efforts against the world are useless, and it will be even more sad!
As for Jiankang, Niu Zhu went down the river along the way, although it was not the flood season at the moment, but under the gathering of manpower and wind, Shen Zhezi still rushed back to the west of Jiankang City within one day.
He did not rush back to the city, but went to Stone Town first to learn about the latest developments.
Here in Stone City, the protégés of the Shen family had been waiting for a long time under the leadership of Ren Qiu, and as soon as Shen Zhezi arrived, they immediately began to report the latest developments in the situation.
"When the riot broke out the day before yesterday, the county government immediately dispatched and all those involved were imprisoned. Then the guards went to the dignitaries, but they were preempted by the state capital. More than 20 people, including those who committed the crime yesterday, have been transferred by the state government to Tingwei, and the rest are still imprisoned in the state capital. In addition, the state capital has a hanging list, and the city is full of fugitives. ”
Ren Qiu quickly reported the latest situation, and at the same time presented the list of people involved in the matter.
When Shen Zhezi heard this, his brows were already furrowed. He himself is not a person with a bad heart, and he is accustomed to thinking in the direction of conspiracy in everything. The state capital's swift reaction made him smell a hint of something unusual, could it be that revenge is not overnight?
"Those prodigals, one by one, do not do the truth, it is better to talk about it, poor disputes, and it is a matter of time before something happens."
Shen Mu did not go to Liyang with the team, and after returning to the capital, he went directly to Stone City to serve as a deputy guard, and said angrily at this time. However, he didn't complain blindly, and after complaining, he frowned and said: "But nearly half of those offenders are guests of my family, and what they are doing this time is my family's opinion, so we really can't turn a blind eye." Tetsuko, do you want to gather the crowd and return to the capital immediately? My family was not afraid of the king's gate before, but now what is there to fear! ”
Hearing Shen Mu's words, Shen Zhezi immediately raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "No, the times are different, and you can't make the same response." Inside and outside the house, it should be as usual, and there should be no radical actions. ”
Ren Qiu also said on the side: "Gong Wen sent a letter to the mansion this morning, and he also gave the same order, and told me that there is no need to rush into the capital after returning, and live outside for a while." ”
Shen Zhezi's heart couldn't help but warm after hearing this, although Wen Qiao's message stopped at a few words, the care and friendship contained in it were not shallow. The current situation seems to be secretly facilitated, and if he does not know it for a while, he may step into the quagmire with one foot in the quagmire if he rushes into it with a roar as a leader.
Next, Shen Zhezi picked up the list again and hurriedly glanced at it, and his mood turned heavy. The long list, divided into two rows, is the first thing that catches the eye is more than a dozen names marked with red pens, all of whom died in this brawl. Nine people were killed on the spot, and then six more died of their wounds.
Judging from the list of the dead alone, Shen Yuan's group of angry youths still had a strong combat effectiveness, and only two people were damaged, both of whom died of serious injuries and did not die on the spot. One is the grandson of Gu Rong of Wujun, and the other is the younger brother of Li Chong of Jiangxia, both of whom are young people who have been particularly active in the Star Picking Tower earlier.
As for the people who were killed on the other side, there were both high-ranking people like the Taishan Goat clan, and second-class families who were not expected by the county. The identity of the deceased may not matter, but the number is staggering. You must know that this is not a mess of soldiers and bandits, it is just a fight of young people, and it happened in the downtown area on the bank of the Qinhuai River in the capital!
How much resentment does this have to be to be so ruthless? It's chilling to think about!
As for the arrested, the Jiang Yu on Shen Yuan's side, who became famous because of his father, naturally bore the brunt, and the next series of names were all those who usually mixed up in Shen Yuan, of course, there were also people who were relatively strangers to Shen Zhezi, probably new members who had developed during this time, or the group of relatives and friends called by these people.
As for the list of fugitives announced by the state government, first of all, Shen Zhezi's eyes froze: Langya Liu Ne.
