Chapter 220: Bloodshed and Death

In the middle of the day, a long queue appeared on the official road, and the front was none other than Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi.

Geng Ruqi led the team to Yuci this time, which was inevitable. In order to prevent accidents, Geng Ruqi specially asked Zhang Honggong, the chief soldier of Shanxi, to transfer 2,000 soldiers and horses. In short, Geng Ruqi wanted to let these Jin merchants know what the royal law furnace was and what the imperial court discipline was. These Jin merchants just don't clean up.

Regarding Geng Ruqi's decision, Zhang Honggong was still a little hesitant. As a civil official, Geng Ruqi doesn't know much about things on the grassland, but Zhang Honggong knows a little. If the matter is big, that Tiemo will definitely not sit idly by, let alone Yunfu at that time, it is estimated that Xuanfu and Datong Mansion will have to make trouble, and at that time, it will not end well.

According to Zhang Honggong's meaning, first write a letter to Yunfu to find out. If Tiemo is bent on helping Jin Shang, then pretend to be confused, don't force the levy, if the court is not satisfied, let the six cabinets send people to collect it. Although it will make the court dissatisfied and unfavorable to his career, at least it will not be too dangerous. But Geng Ruqi is good, he can't listen to any opinions, and he has a posture of wanting to take the Chang family.

Hey, these civil officials are just good faces.

On the official road, looking at the crowd of people in front of him, some people were still holding swords and glaring angrily. Geng Ruqi glanced at the rear, Gao Jie got out of the sedan chair, straightened his official uniform, and arched his hand into the distance.

"Where are the regulars?"

"Chang Mou is here, Lord Fuzun, I didn't expect you to come in person, and bring so many soldiers and horses over, it seems that the imperial court is determined to use knives against our three Jin disciples!" Chang Yin continued to sneer sarcastically.

was sneered at by a businessman, and in front of so many people, Gao Jie's face was quite unbearable. His face changed, and his voice became much colder, "Bold, except for ordinary members, don't forget your identity, how can you talk about the imperial court?" It's you, who led so many people to block the pipeline, but insisted on fighting against the imperial court? Don't forget, this is a rebellion. ”

The hat of rebellion was buttoned down, and Chang Yinxu was really a little unable to catch it. Fortunately, he had already received the instructions of his daughter, and he did not show his timidity, and said loudly: "Rebellion? The grass people don't dare, Lord Fuzun, today Chang is asking you a question on behalf of everyone, may I ask, why did the Jin merchants levy twice the tax and silver, but Jiangnan still has thirty taxes and one? Could it be that in the eyes of the imperial court, my Jin Shang is not a citizen of the Ming Dynasty? ”

"This ....." let Gao Jie speak skillfully, and in a short period of time, he was also blocked by Chang Yin's continued questioning. Everyone knows this kind of thing, but they can't say it on the surface, because it makes no sense to say it on the surface.

Gao Jie was too lazy to explain, and responded: "The court does this, it has its own court reason, if you are not satisfied, you can go to the court and wait for the court to rule." ”

Chang Yinxu's face was gloomy and he didn't speak again. However, the irony in his eyes was extremely obvious. Going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who doesn't know that the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Cabinet wear a pair of pants. Right now, in the court, in addition to a few of His Majesty's close ministers, how many people in the six cabinets are not surnamed Donglin Qingliu?

Chang Yin continued to say nothing, Gao Jie was even more angry, and shouted: "This official asks you again, do you want to get out of the way?" ”

Chang Yinxu and the others clenched the blades in their hands and made a final answer. At this time, Gao Jie also knew that it was useless to talk more, but he still looked at the person behind Chang Yinxu, his eyes full of anger.

"Lord Xi, what do you mean by this, and you also want to fight against the imperial court with this gang of Diao people?"

Xi Jingchao's expression was very entangled, and he arched his hand with a wry smile, "The tall man is serious, and the lower official has no such intention, but the lower official feels that this tax collection is really abrupt and very inappropriate." The lower officials implore the prefect and the governor to consider again, and do not use swords until they have to. ”

"Master Xi, it seems that you have already made a decision!"

Gao Jie's eyes were cold, and he snorted unhappily in his heart. When the matter is over, Xi Jingchao will also be the end of this official.

........

If the peace talks fail, then you can only do it, Geng Ruqi waved his hand and signaled Zhang Honggong to order. Zhang Honggong felt that his head was a little big, and he hesitated: "Lord Geng, do you really want to do it?" ”

"Mr. Zhang, do you think this official is joking? You also saw that those people were holding swords, blocking the pipes, and refusing to cooperate, did you let the official admit defeat and roll back with the people? ”

"This ..... Zhang knows what to do! Zhang Honggong had no choice but to give orders to the soldiers behind him to step forward.

Zhang Honggong can't help it, although as the chief soldier of Shanxi, it sounds like a very bluffing title, but in fact, whether he is stable or not depends on the attitude of Geng Ruqi and others. The Ming Dynasty was like this, there were a lot of soldiers, but the status was definitely different. The nine-sided general army and the local general army are even more heaven and earth.

Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, only listened to the emperor's military department, and the attitude of the local prefect's yamen, and he didn't need a bird. It's like him Zhang Honggong, you have to ask Geng Ruqi to call the shots for big things.

The two thousand guards were divided into two groups and pressed towards the official road, and seeing this posture, Chang Yinxu's face changed greatly. He didn't expect that Geng Ruqi, Gao Jie and others would be so bold that they really wanted to use swords. At this time, no one can retreat, and whoever retreats will lose completely.

Similarly, Geng Ruqi was also a little big, originally thinking that if he sent troops to press over, these businessmen and grass people would be intimidated. Who would have thought that these people had no intention of retreating their legs.

Geng Ruqi didn't want to really use the knife, and this kind of violent incident was not good after all. But at this time, it is also difficult to ride a tiger, and he can't swallow it back alive with the order he just given, so he will be shameless?

In an instant, a series of angry roars erupted in the crowd.

"Son of a, you're really doing it, oops, you're still fighting?"

"Shut up, lay down your weapons, and obediently get out of the way!"

"Ah, the deception is too much, Lao Tzu fought with you!" The words fell, and a rough man scuffled with the soldiers in a corner. This was just the beginning, and it quickly turned into a large-scale fight.

In less than half an hour, outside Yuci City, there was a shout of killing, although no one killed him, but bloodshed could not be avoided. This kind of fighting, at first, I didn't feel anything, but gradually, many people's anger rose, and the strength of their hands could not be controlled. One of the soldiers was surrounded by two rough men, and he was dazed, and soon, with a roar of rage, he drew the steel knife at his waist and slashed down.

The knife went down, and it hit a rough man in the head, and the rough man didn't have time to snort, and fell softly in a pool of blood.

Blood and death are the most likely to irritate people's eyeballs and nerves, and another rough man shouted with red eyes, "The officers and soldiers really killed, brothers, fight with them......"

"Ah, you bastards, you really kill people, kill them......."

Death did not frighten the group, but it did provoke them to rage.

More and more people are lying in pools of blood, and more and more people are getting involved.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Zhang Honggong and the others felt numb in their scalps, and they couldn't help but feel a little panicked in their hearts. Things have gotten to this point that they are out of their control.
