Chapter 277: You Still Want to Be Safe
Li Yang, the proprietor of Proud Xuan, was very interested, and repulsed the soldiers who collected money from Jinyi Wei in public, and everyone must have seen the awe-inspiring demeanor of the scholars. Just now, I heard that the guys in the Jinhe Warehouse beat the messenger who collected the peace money out of "righteous indignation", isn't this a righteous act of the whole city.
Since the Xuande period, all the conflicts between scholars and eunuchs and warriors have prevailed, and the parties involved have all become famous.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I couldn't help but write hard in the study, this literati who can't make poems and can't write good articles, they are used to making a note, and then paying for it, which is also a way to make a name for themselves.
This Li Yang called himself the master of Yangliuju, and wrote "Notes on Yangliuju", and considered the words, saying that after Wang Tong led the troops into the city, Fanzi was rampant and domineering in the city, and the people were not happy, and people from all walks of life were indignant but dared to be angry
As soon as he wrote that the people of the city were inspired, he suddenly heard a commotion in the shop in front of him, and the door of the study slammed, and a man rushed in.
"Master, it's no good, Jinyiwei is coming to the door!!"
"What!? They still dare to come to the door to bully, is there any royal law, and there is no heavenly reason!! ”
Li Yang stood up abruptly and asked, but then he took a step back, this kind of scholar, with a lotus tongue in his mouth, is really timid when he encounters a scene.
However, his own shop was smashed, and the loss was his own money, even if he was afraid, he had to go and see it, Li Yang said to his servant:
"Hurry up and complain to Lord Tongzhi!!"
He walked forward quickly, his house and the shop were connected together, and his calligraphy and paintings were also sold there, but as soon as he entered the store, the noise and commotion had already been heard.
The shopkeeper of Proud Yixuan knelt on the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, the calligraphy and paintings in the store were torn up a lot, all kinds of ornaments were smashed to the ground, and a short man wearing a brocade dress and a hundred official uniforms sat on the counter.
"Why did you commit murder in vain, is there any royal law in the end!!"
Li Yang was distressed and angry when he saw the wolf, and pointed at the short man and asked angrily, the short man was Sun Dahai, jumped down from the counter, and said in a cold voice:
"The safety brand keeps it safe, if you don't sign the sign, of course there will be no peace!!"
"It's ridiculous, what kind of rules are these rules for hanging a peace sign, don't you know that the saints and ministers today say that there are no rules for hanging a peace sign in the world?"
Before he finished speaking, Sun Dahai stepped forward and slapped him hard, and Li Yang's face was suddenly bruised and swollen in half, Li Yang took a few steps back and covered his face and said angrily:
"I'm familiar with Gao Tongzhi and Master Pan, you are so rude, be careful that I have to write a complaint to sue you!!"
After saying that, the impatient Sun Dahai had already pulled out the embroidered spring knife, put it directly on his neck, and shouted in a rough voice:
"You ask what the rules of this peace brand are, Lao Tzu tells you, it is the rules of Tianjin City Jinyiwei, and it is the rules of my family's thousands of households!!"
As soon as he felt the chill on his neck, Li Yang's courage not to fight disappeared, his legs were weak, and he knelt down directly, the words in his mouth were not in tone, and he said tremblingly:
"Yes, it's small, I don't know the rules, I bother the adults to take the knife away, and the small ones will pay the money, and this will be a sign."
It was such a useless scholar who made Hang Daqiao eat and go back, Sun Dahai spat disdainfully and scolded:
"This brand is hung if you want to hang it, you can lose it if you want to, the money to buy the brand is one hundred taels, and the peace money is doubled, otherwise this store will not be opened, and people will get out of the Tianjin Acropolis!!"
The knife is on the neck, and it is up to him to take the idea, although it is doubled, but it has not yet reached the point of breaking the muscles and bones, this Li Yang has no mouth in his mouth to agree, Sun Dahai also put the knife into the sheath, and said in a rough voice:
"Pay the money before dark, or you won't have to pay it!"
After speaking, he led people to stride out, and as soon as he went out, the shopkeepers of the two shops on the side were waiting outside with a smile, and when he saw Sun Dahai going out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"My lord, Lord Hang is in a hurry, and the two of us didn't catch up when we wanted to pay the money, and we were about to send it to the yamen, but it happened that your lord came over."
While speaking, he held the silver money and sent it to Sun Dahai, Sun Dahai didn't look at it, he raised his hand and knocked it over, and said in a rough voice:
"I didn't pay it when I should have paid it, but now it's too late, and the peace money will be doubled this month, and I will hand it over to Lao Tzu in the yamen before dark."
The two shopkeepers glanced at each other, and hurriedly bowed down and agreed with a smile, and at this time, there were already a group of foot soldiers running into the Jinyi Health Office.
Sun Dahai led the people and hurriedly followed, and the two shopkeepers didn't raise their heads until Sun Dahai left, and walked to the door of the proud Xuan alone, and scolded inside:
"Call so much peace money, Taiping does business, what are you going to compete for Li Xiucai about this matter, now you are causing trouble, and it is quite expensive to bring everyone, what a bastard!"
They were the ones who laughed just now, and they were the ones who were scolding now, Li Yang knelt on the ground dejectedly, and he still cared about returning the favor.
"Lang Zhong who was invited just now said that the four brothers broke their bones, and the bruises were not light, and it is estimated that it will be good to recover after half a year. ”
Wang Tong rode on his horse and watched a group of soldiers rushing over from various courtyards, lining up in front of him, and Zhang Shiqiang on the side reported in a deep voice.
Such an injury is in this era, if Lang Zhong is not dead, Wang Tong nodded on the horse with a gloomy face, and asked loudly:
"Tan Bing, everyone has gathered, there is no !?"
"Lord Hui, a total of 600 people from the three battalions in the city have gathered!!"
"Did Tan Huo lead someone to get something?"
"Back to my lord, I've already gone!"
Wang Tong took a few steps forward and shouted:
"Today, our thousands of people went out to collect money and were beaten, and the peace silver collected was not for their own use, but for the weapons in everyone's hands, the clothes and armor on their bodies, and the usual food, our people were beaten, that is, the officials were beaten, this kind of complicity is treasonous, you go with your officials to quell the chaos!!"
The people below suddenly agreed, Wang Tong shook the reins, and walked directly in front, Ma Sanbiao was in the recruit training camp with others at this time, and the horse team that followed Wang Tong was led by Tan Jian.
The city is not big, it didn't take too long to walk to the street where the Jin and Inn is located, and the time to come and go is fast, and there are many idlers who just watched the excitement and did not disperse.
"Scattered, Silent Street!!"
Wang Tong gave an order, and Tan Jian waved his hand and led more than thirty cavalrymen to rush out, holding whips and sticks on horses, and slammed them downward.
Those idlers were foaming at the mouth and talking about it, but they didn't expect that suddenly there would be soldiers coming to beat people, most of them couldn't react, they were hit a few times on their heads, faces and bodies, and they didn't know where to run to crying dad and mother.
All the people in Jinhe Warehouse reacted quickly, hurriedly went to the door panel, and closed the door directly.
The streets were cleared over there, and the brocade guards led by Wang Tong drove over, and the front of the Jinhe Warehouse could accommodate dozens of men to beat them, and it was also very spacious, and they could actually put down a battalion and a half of soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers could only see stitches everywhere in the street.
How could the door panel on the shop block the soldiers, and the soldiers below were eager to rush forward, but Wang Tong did not give an order.
I could hear the busy sound behind the door panel, maybe it was something to resist, but what was the use, the soldiers of the brocade guard here had just finished lining up, but someone stood up on the wall on the side, and looked at the short dress on his body and estimated that he was a guard, and shouted loudly:
"Lord Wang, what do you want to do with your troops here, do you want to rob our Jinhe warehouse in broad daylight, tell your lordship that our warehouse has sent someone to report to Lord Pan and General Li, and it won't be long before the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will arrive.
"Tan Gong, shoot him down!"
Wang Tong said coldly, Tan Gong beside him stretched out his bow and arrow, and an arrow was shot, and the person who shouted immediately fell down from the wall.
I could hear a panic in the inner wall of the door of the Jinhe Warehouse, but it still didn't open the door.
Wang Tong didn't send anyone to go up and slam the door, just stopped his horse there and waited, and the soldiers below were also quietly lined up, although the idlers were scattered, they could see the lively thoughts, and they surrounded them from afar, and they couldn't see the scene of the person on the wall being shot down.
I just watched these brocade guards come violently, but they didn't do anything, they just lined up quietly outside the door, I don't know what's going on, and they all watched nervously.
But after a while, the Jinyi guards still didn't move, everyone couldn't help but feel a little strange, many idlers still remembered the majesty of the Jinyi guards in front of the door, and couldn't help but shout outside with the noise.
Wang Tong was on the horse, but he slowly sorted out the firecracker, heard the shouts on both sides, and indifferently commanded:
"Look at the lively idlers are all caught, the soldiers in front of the door do not move, and the two sides are dispatched!!"
As soon as the order went, the brocade guards, who had been distraught by the noise, swarmed out, and there were many people on the street, and the brocade guards suddenly rushed over, and they couldn't run at all in a hurry, so they first used the spear in their hands as a long stick, and beat them with their heads and faces, and those idlers were knocked to the ground.
After crying for a while, the street was deserted, and the Jinhe Inn also saw the scene outside, and after a while, another person showed half of his head from the wall and shouted loudly:
"Lord Wang, maybe it's a misunderstanding, our owner is in Jingshi"
Wang Tong stretched out his hand and pointed, and Tan Gong on the side shot another arrow, only to hear a scream, and there was a panic inside, and then it quieted down.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves on the other side was heard, but it was Tan Huo who rode over and said loudly on the horse:
"Master, the cannon has been brought here!!"
