Chapter 313: Closing the door and planting stolen goods
Half of his shoulder collapsed, and he was screaming loudly over there, Wang Tong kicked him in the stomach, and the whole person was knocked to the ground.
The screams stopped, and then howled out in louder and more tragic tones, and the two soldiers who were guarding him were not ambiguous, and jumped back with great agility, and simply knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy, and said:
"Lord Wang, the little ones are just coming along, everything has nothing to do with the little ones!"
Wang Tong panted heavily, although he was very tired, but his brain seemed to be on fire, more than 6,000 people entered the city to make a riot, and the various yamen stood by, if they were defenseless, I am afraid that the mansion will be washed in blood today, and when the situation calms down, they will come to add to the chaos.
The audience was silent, and the captives and even the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard looked at the axe in Wang Tong's hand with some fear, and blood was dripping down the broad blade.
A cold wind blew, Wang Tong sobered up a little, the yamen in the city was not just a bystander, from the inside to the outside, it was clearly conniving.
"Go back and tell Panda that there is a big case in the city, the official is closed down, and anyone who wants to leave the city will be punished as a thief and bring it back!!"
Wang Tong snorted coldly, and the two soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to help the person away, and Wang Tong opened his mouth and said:
"Bring out all the heads in the field, if you don't bring them, the people around you will be punished as a big crime!"
This is the same as the confession to the assassin, the bloody scene has frightened the people below, everyone was told before coming, we have a lot of people, we are afraid of the government, we dare not fight only dare to appease, that brocade guard Qianhu is soft, our bow incense good words will come back.
This inexplicable idea was completely shattered when the horse team rushed out, most of the bow incense was working after all, and some people were already frightened to collapse and incontinent when they saw the scene of the knife killing, and all they thought about was life.
This was the case when the assassins were confessed, and even more so when Wang Tong asked about the bosses, these damn bosses incited everyone into the city, but now it's good, no one can escape, and the incense crowd hates these bosses.
After Wang Tong finished asking, he heard the shouting and scolding in the field, some of them turned their heads there and scolded the people around them for betraying, and some of them were desperately begging for help.
The brocade guards entered the crowd again and arrested the leaders one by one.
"Torture, ask the mastermind and liaison behind it, tonight the battalions will rest in shifts, camp on the spot, the curfew in the whole city will still be there, and these people will be taken out of the city tomorrow morning."
Wang Tong finally relaxed a little, looked around and gave orders, if so many people were taken out of the city now, there would be no place to enclose them, and if they took advantage of the chaos to escape, they really couldn't catch it.
The gates of the city are closed, and every household is not allowed to go out, which is equivalent to a natural prison, as long as the various camps block the streets, they can still run to where they can go, and the second day can also buy breakfast for the common people, and supply the soldiers nearby.
At this time, Tan Bing could be seen waving his hand at the end of the team, Wang Tong raised his hand in response, and said to General Tan beside him:
"Disperse these chaotic people in batches and take care of them separately, if there is any reckless noise, don't worry about killing, the official will make up a document for you afterwards, and let go of the killing!"
General Tan gave a military salute and agreed, Wang Tong greeted, Li Hutou and dozens of guards rode horses to follow, and the brocade-clothed guards kicked and beat to make way for the horse team.
The frightened incense crowd saw Wang Tong riding away, although he was still tied up, and he didn't know what was waiting for him next, but they were all relieved, and some of the younger ones were even crying there.
Although the Tianjin Acropolis is not large, tens of thousands of people are crowded in the center of the city, but the rest of the city is very deserted, the residents stay at home and cannot come out, and there is not even a ghost shadow on the streets except for the soldiers on duty.
After Wang Tong and the others rode out of a few streets, they went to the Qing Army Hall, Sun Dahai was waiting at the door of the Qing Army Hall, and when he saw Wang Cheng coming, he hurriedly ran down the steps to salute and said:
"My lord, since the little one came here, the door of the Qing Army Hall has been closed, and no one is allowed to enter!"
Before Wang Tong's soldiers and horses entered the city, the yamen also arranged for their subordinates to guard the streets, and when they saw Wang Tong's brocade guards, they all shrank back.
"Call the door, say the official is here!"
With a cold order, a few brocade guards who followed Sun Dahai immediately went up and smashed the door, smashed it a few times, and shouted loudly:
"Hurry up and open the door, my Thousand Households King has arrived!"
"Go over the wall and open the door from the inside!!"
The soldiers set up a personal ladder, and some people stepped directly on their horses, and climbed into the wall along the wall, and heard the sound of angry scolding and screaming inside the door, and the door of the Qing Army Hall was opened from the inside.
Wang Tong strode in, and the soldiers behind him poured in, and the officials of the Qing Army Hall were still angry, and when they saw the brocade guards holding sharp blades and stained with blood, they were so frightened that they retreated and directly dodged the road.
Gao Tongzhi could also hear the noise outside, Wang Tong had just stepped into the second hall, and Gao Tongzhi hurriedly greeted him, his face was quite unhappy, and as soon as they met, he raised his voice and asked:
"Wang Qianhu, why did you trespass on this official office, you and I have our own subordinates, we should see each other politely, you are so rude, are you not afraid of other people's jokes when you spread it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Tong grabbed his front placket, dragged him directly, stared at him and said coldly:
"This official is not afraid of other people's jokes, Master Gao, take your arrest officer and this official to investigate the case together!"
Wang Tong's action, followed by Gao Tongzhi's several officials subconsciously pulled out their weapons, and when they moved, the soldiers around Wang Tong unsheathed their swords and flattened their spears.
The Qing Army Hall is just a civilian yamen, how to compete with such similar armies, the confrontation between the two sides, the front yard of the Qing Army Hall was immediately murderous, and the weapons of the officials were immediately thrown to the ground by themselves, and Wang Tong clearly saw that Gao Tongzhi's face quickly turned white.
The bloody aura on Wang Tong's body was very heavy, Gao Tongzhi naturally felt it, and when Wang Tong let go, he didn't dare to say anything more, and said in a dumb voice:
"Since it's a big case, this official will go and mobilize manpower, and Lord Wang will wait a while."
That is, a few words of effort, the Qing Military Department's criminal master and the arrest have been adjusted, although they are nervous, but there is nothing to be afraid of, everyone is from the yamen, Wang Tong said that he is investigating the case, and he will not be embarrassed anyway.
Wang Tong had already got on the horse, Gao Tongzhi also got on the horse slowly, as soon as he made a horse move, Gao Tongzhi leaned over, smiled bitterly and whispered:
"Lord Wang, Gao is an official of Hejian Mansion stationed in Tianjin, Master Pan is a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of War, Gonggong Wan is from the palace, and General Li is from Jizhen, all the adults and immortals are fighting, Gao really doesn't dare to come over and get involved."
"Calling Lord Gao to investigate the case, of course it won't harm you, besides, the situation in the city is already like this, can't Lord Gao understand."
Officialdom pays attention to speaking only three points, Gao Tongzhi thought that what he said was straightforward enough, but he didn't expect Wang Tong to say it more realistically, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he just shook his head with a wry smile.
********
A cadre from the Qing Military Department followed in a daze, and arrived at the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Government Office in the north of Tianjin, which was still a street away from the official office.
This side is already a slum in the city, and the houses and streets are quite dilapidated, and as soon as Wang Tong and the others arrived, they saw Ma Sanbiao leading the horse team waiting here.
Wang Tong approached and asked directly:
"Are they still all in there?"
"After the brothers shouted that they were not allowed to go out on the quiet street, no one came out, and people were arranged to watch at the front and back of the small ones, but no one came out!!"
Ma Sanbiao replied in a deep voice, his voice was not low, but Gao Tongzhi didn't understand what they were talking about at all, Wang Tong nodded, and said simply:
"Go in and get someone!"
At the end of the order, the brocade guards gathered around all came around, and four people carried a one-person-high log stake and ran to the door of a house in small steps, and a dozen people lined up behind them with shields and waist knives, and everyone leaned over lightly.
With a shout, the four of them rushed towards the main entrance with a log stake, which was a broken door, and the latch inside was just to prevent people from pushing it.
"Click", the door latch broke, the whole door was directly opened, there were a few people in the courtyard squatting or standing, looking anxious, seeing people rushing in, they were stunned in a hurry, not knowing how to react.
The brocade-clothed guards with swords and shields behind them rushed in, and everyone shouted:
"Drop your weapon, raise your hand and don't kill!!"
But in such a short period of time, the people in the courtyard couldn't react at all, the first action was to pick up the weapon at hand, but how to react, one person wanted to resist, a few knives were cut on the body, and finally two people reacted, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing like pounding garlic.
There were screams and roars in the house, and then there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping and screaming in the backyard, and when Wang Tong strode into the courtyard, there were already six people kneeling on the ground in despair.
Pan Ming also knelt in it, trembling like chaff all over his body, Wang Tong looked over, he nodded unnoticed, Wang Tong turned his head and said to Gao Tongzhi:
"The incense people are in turmoil, this is a big deal, the court must inquire, this is the den of the bow incense this rebellion, and please ask the servants of the tall man and the soldiers of the brocade clothes to search together!"
What else can be done now, Gao Tongzhi nodded helplessly, followed the catcher behind him and ordered a few words, and a group of people began to search carefully from the courtyard.
Wang Tong didn't pay attention to the few people kneeling there, just found a place to sit down, it was already a little dark, and the Tianjin Acropolis was unusually quiet.
After a while, someone inside shouted:
"Found something!"
A catcher from the Qing Army Hall walked out quickly with something in his hand, and sent it to Wang Tong with both hands.
Everyone can see clearly that there is a Buddha statue on the lotus seat, with both hands held high, and there is a small sun in the middle of the hands and in the chest and abdomen......
