Chapter 1661: Rebellion?
The price of rice in Liuzhou City is rising, but the people in the city dare not speak out, no matter how unwilling their hearts are, they can only obediently accept the slaughter.
At the beginning, a few bold people stood up to denounce the price of rice, and they were arrested and put in the government prison on the same day, and one of them turned out to be the main culprits in last year's headless public case.
The sun is three poles, and it is a sunny and good weather.
Hanfu, the most extensive mansion in Liuzhou City, has as much as 20 acres in the back garden alone.
Han Hui is a local official in Liuzhou, and if he wants to do something, it is easier than those rogue officials. When those people jumped out to make trouble, he quickly reversed the evil deeds of one of them through his own power.
Sure enough, after that person was convicted, no one in the entire Liuzhou City dared to make irresponsible remarks about the price of rice, but obediently paid money to buy grain from him.
"Husband, there are already eight sisters in the family now, why do you keep running to that vixen in Liu Chunlou!" A beautiful woman handed Han Hui a knife, but she was full of resentment.
"Huh...... That's because your husband has the ability, don't say eight, even eight hundred can afford it! Han Hui took the sword and replied proudly.
As the price of rice in Liuzhou City reached one hundred wen a catty, he made a lot of money, and within a month, he would definitely be able to shave most of the people in Liuzhou City clean.
The beautiful woman watched Han Hui swagger away, but sighed gloomily.
Han Hui is now under the identity of Liuzhou Wei Tongzhi, and he needs to report to Liuzhou Wei Yamen every day, but there is nothing important recently, and it is a mess to go there.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Liuzhou Yamen, a soldier hurriedly ran over and reported: "Oh no, Lin Xun asked to open the door at Jingnanmen with a large group of refugees, and it looks like he is about to rebel!" ”
"Rebellion? She's crazy, isn't she? Han Hui didn't expect Lin Ping to go and return, let alone incite the refugees to rebel, so he made a decision: "Let's go over and take a look!" ”
"Open the gates!"
"Open the gates!"
"We're going into town!"
……
At this moment, a tsunami-like sound came from outside the south gate of Liuzhou City, which had already caused an earthquake to occur in the entire Liuzhou City, and the sound wave formed soared into the sky.
This movement was quite big, and the people in the streets of the south of the city paused to look around, and many people who liked to join in the excitement heard the words over there, and then ran towards the Jingnan Gate.
Gao Yan, the prefect of Liuzhou, Qian Huilong, the governor of Liuzhou, and Wei Gangjin, the county governor of Ma Ping, were discussing the case of the shopkeeper of the United Restaurant, and after learning of the movement of Jingnanmen, they also went towards Jingnanmen.
"The last general will meet Lord Fuzun and all your lords, and Lin Xun will enter the city according to the requirements outside the city gate!"
Today, the general who is responsible for guarding the Jingnan Gate is Liuzhou Deputy Qianhu Long Boxiang, and he stepped forward to salute several adults who came in the official sedan chair.
Daming's use of literature to control military force has never been an empty word, and he, the deputy commander of Qianhu, is at most wearing small shoes, and offending Gao Yan is probably an official position.
Qian Huilong felt a little resentful in his heart, and accused Long Boxiang: "Didn't we say that we had already ordered: Now that the whole city is searching for the official seal of Lord Fuzun, no one can open the city gate?" How can you allow them to call out outside the city? ”
Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, no matter how many refugees there are, as long as he releases arrows to warn him, there will be no such big movement, and there is no need for them to run over to "extinguish the fire".
"Back to Lord Tongzhi's words, the last general did not take the initiative to open the city gate, and they are not calling for battle outside the city, but the public opinion!" Long Bo replied with a look of neither humility nor arrogance.
At the beginning, he might have believed that the Kochi Mansion closed the city gate in order to lose the official seal, but seeing that his subordinates were forced to eat the sky-high price of rice from the four rice rows during this time, he still didn't know how to get tired of it.
The tsunami-like sound outside the city gate, he didn't regard it as a provocation, let alone feel harsh, and even hoped that it would be good to reach the heavens and let the court punish these well-dressed beasts.
Qian Huilong seemed to have been stepped on by his tail, and looked angry and asked Long Boxiang, "Are you a pig's head?" Those untouchables represent the will of the people? ”
"Qian Tongzhi, let's go up to the city tower together and see which one Lin Xun is going to sing!" Gao Yan, who was wearing a patch official uniform, looked quite urban, and said lightly to Qian Huilong.
"Boy, we'll see!" Qian Huilong glared at this "crooked" deputy Qianhu, and then responded to Gao Yan, and followed Gao Yan to the city stairs.
Han Hui and the others also rushed over at this time, exchanged glances with Qian Huilong, and followed Gao Yan to the city tower together.
In this day and age, the inside and outside of the city are like two different worlds.
Thousands of ragged refugees stood in the vast open space below the city, commanded by a banner, shouting in unison to the city, demanding that the gates be opened.
Gao Yan and the others saw the shocking scene in the city, and their hearts were also quite complicated.
If it were to be ruled by these refugees, Lin would have been white-faced, while their gang would be black-faced. In this secret battle, they have stood on the opposite side of the public.
Lin Ping, who was wearing a unicorn suit, led people to ride on the jujube red horse, and when he saw Gao Yan and other officials appear in the city tower, he gently patted the horse forward, squinting at Gao Yan on the head of the city.
"Lin Xun, the official seal of this mansion is still missing, and it is still being pursued. Therefore, the matter is very important, and please don't be impatient, when the official seal is retrieved by the government, I will personally go out of the city to respectfully patrol the adult! Gao Yan came to the front of the city and said to Lin Ping.
After so many years in officialdom, this cheekiness is naturally there, so even if both parties know that this is an excuse, he is not red or panting.
As soon as the words fell, Shen Yan said in a strange manner: "I see that you have not lost your official seal, but your conscience!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the officials and generals who came to the city couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and looked at Gao Yan cautiously, the other party was no longer playing with him.
Gao Yan's face turned cold, and he immediately accused: "Lin Xun, I hope you can restrain your subordinates, don't let people ruin your reputation, and even make people mistakenly think that Lin Shilang is not strict in governing the family!" ”
"My subordinate is a little quicker, but she knows what is right and wrong! Kochifu, are you really not afraid of retribution for colluding with profiteers to oppress the people like this? Lin usually protected Shen Yan, but questioned Gao Yan.
Gao Yan couldn't help but feel a little angry, but pointed at Lin Ping and threatened: "Lin Xun, although you are the Nanyang Patrol of the Emperor's Qin, but if you slander the reputation of this mansion so much, this government has the right to impeach you?" ”
"Kochifu, my neck is a little tired, you open the city gate first!" Lin usually reached out and touched his neck, but responded deafly to his threat.
Hey?
When Qian Huilong and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Although this Lin Xun's status is not low, and she has a high-ranking brother, she has no right to order the opening of this city gate.
Gao Yan sneered in his heart, but reiterated it: "This mansion has already said it!" The official seal of this house has been lost, and now it is being searched throughout the city, and no one is allowed to open the city gates! "I love e-books
"Kochifu, are you going to disobey the holy will?" Lin usually looked up at Gao Yan at the head of the city, but asked seriously.
As soon as these words came out, Qian Huilong and the others looked at each other, but they didn't know which one this Lin Xun was singing. With the position of Wu Guifang, the governor of Liangguang, replaced by Tan Lun, there is no one in the entire Guangxi region who can make Gao Yan open this city gate.
Lin usually squinted his eyes at the top of the city tower, and then said seriously: "I have been entrusted by the imperial court to be the deputy envoy of this disaster relief, and now this deputy envoy orders you to open the city gate immediately and welcome this deputy envoy into the city for disaster relief, otherwise you will be blamed for the deputy envoy's punishment of disrespect!" ”
But I don't know if it was his brother who made a hard effort, or the court knew how to make good use of it, she had just been appointed by the court as the deputy envoy of this disaster relief. It is precisely because of this that her status has been elevated, and she has become a high-ranking deputy envoy.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Gao Yan's eyes widened vigorously.
If this is true, then Lin Ping's identity is resolutely above him, and there is a good reason to order him to open this city gate to welcome her in.
Gao Yan's big chest buzzed, and he immediately reflected: "No! I...... My Ming Dynasty has always had only one disaster relief envoy, so why did the imperial court set up a deputy disaster relief envoy? ”
When Qian Huilong and the others heard this, they looked at Lin Pingping under the city as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.
But at this moment, a father-in-law with gray sideburns behind him immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "This holy decree was brought by my father-in-law, do you suspect that my father-in-law forged the holy decree, or do you want to disobey the holy will of the imperial court?" ”
"This ...... This is Gonggong Liu! ”
Han Hui looked at the eunuch and recognized the other party's identity.
Lin usually didn't want to say more, but raised a holy decree and said loudly: "Then you will listen to the decree!" ”
"Open the gates and greet the deputy!"
Liuzhou Mansion Judge Qin Di's eyes lit up immediately, and he did not ask for the opinion of Lord Fuzun, but directly gave instructions to the generals next to him.
At other times, Gao Yan was naturally the highest commander.
It's just that now Lin Pingping has been appointed by the imperial court as the deputy envoy for disaster relief, and his status is already above Gao Yan, so it is naturally impossible to keep Lin Pingping out of the door.
What's more, Lin usually showed the holy decree in his hand now, if they didn't open the city gate, it would be a big disrespect, and this crime was far more serious than disrespecting Shangguan.
The person in charge of guarding this city gate was Liuzhou Wei Deputy Qianhu Long Boxiang, seeing that things had developed to this point, he naturally would not pay attention to Gao Yan's previous orders, turned around and led his men down to open the city gate.
"Lord Fuzun, will she forge the holy decree and use money to buy Gonggong Liu?" Han Hui swallowed and foamed, and looked at Gao Yan with the last shred of hope and asked.
Qian Huilong was about to echo immediately, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back. Not to mention that it is impossible for Lin to do this kind of thing, it is impossible for this Liu Gonggong to commit this kind of thing of destroying the family because of some money, and this possibility can be described as very small.
"Let's go down and check her decree, and we'll find out!" Gao Yan responded bitterly.
Gonggong Liu volunteered to pass the holy decree, unfolded the holy decree and read it in a unique voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Guangxi has suffered from a drought that has not been encountered for decades, and many provinces have no harvest, and I am deeply worried. ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" When Gao Yan and the others heard the content of the holy decree, their hearts were also mixed, so they bowed down respectfully.
"If you don't believe it, check it out!" After Gonggong Liu read out the content of the holy decree, he made a gesture and handed the holy decree to Gao Yandao.
After listening to the content of the holy decree, and having seen the style of the holy decree, Gao Yan knew that it was impossible to forge this holy decree, and it was even more impossible for this Lin Xunzhi to do such a stupid thing that brought about his own destruction.
Han Hui stepped forward unceremoniously, but when he saw that the content of the holy decree was really like this, he immediately looked like an eggplant beaten by frost. Whether he believes it or not, the person in front of him has become the deputy envoy for disaster relief.
Gao Yan sighed gloomily in his heart, took the initiative to step forward to Lin Pingping, who was sitting on a horse, and knelt down respectfully and said, "The lower official greets the deputy envoy!" ”
"Governor Gou, do you want this deputy envoy to help you find the official seal?" Lin usually looked at Gao Yan who was kneeling on the ground, but asked with a big pie face.
Gao Yan knew that this was sarcasm, but he shirked and said: "The lower officials don't dare to bother the deputy envoy!" ”
"The sky has eyes!"
"Lord Patrol is back, we are saved!"
"Meet Lord Patrol, please be the people of Liuzhou!"
"No, she is the deputy envoy for disaster relief, our great savior!"
……
The people standing outside the city gate observed this side from a distance, and when they saw Lin Ping entering the city, they especially learned that she had been appointed as the deputy envoy for disaster relief, but they knelt down and bowed one after another.
Lin usually saw the movement over there, and his eyes fell back to Gao Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, and gave an order: "Come on, take down the Kozhi Mansion to this deputy envoy!" ”
As soon as the words fell, several brocade guards stepped forward and grabbed Gao Yan.
Gao Yan was stunned at first, and then immediately asked, "Why do you want to take this mansion?" ”
"This deputy envoy is now arresting you, first, because you deliberately delayed the relief of the victims; The second is that you colluded with profiteers in the city to raise the price of rice! Lin usually said seriously.
As soon as these words came out, Gao Yan was like being struck by lightning, and his face was as white as paper in an instant.
"Someone! Take Liuzhou Tongzhi Qian Huilong, Ma Pingzhi County Wei Gangjin and Liuzhou Wei Tongzhi Wei Hui to the deputy envoy together! Lin usually looked at the three people not far away, and gave another order.
"You dare!"
Han Hui heard that Lin was still going to arrest him, but he pulled out the big knife at his waist, and his subordinates stepped forward to shelter him, and directly confronted the Jinyi guard who was about to come forward.
"Han Tongzhi, are you trying to rebel?" Lin usually saw that there were dozens of people protecting Han Hui, but his face sank, and he questioned Han Hui directly.
Han Hui met Lin Ping's gaze, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed in his heart.
Although he has always disdained to act as a Han general, he has never had the intention of rebelling, after all, he is a local official who has no strength to compete with the Ming Dynasty.
His biggest plot has always been Tusi, hoping to stimulate the conflict between the locals and the Han people through the great turmoil in Liuzhou, so as to get the position of Tusi in Liuzhou Mansion.
But he never expected that this deputy envoy would use thunderous means in front of him, which really caught him off guard. It is he who has chosen to rebel now, not to mention that it is difficult to succeed, and I am afraid that his entire clan will suffer.
