Bianliang City is in chaos, much more chaotic than thousands of people surrounding the business tax supervisor yamen.

The newspaper is still in print, and this time the article was not written by Gan Qi, Chen Li was the first, and sent an article early in the morning, scolding the unscrupulous merchants and scolding the thieves for being selfish.

Then Cai Qu, Li Ding and others also sent articles, Li Ding deserved to be the future king of the Great Song Dynasty, and directly took things up one step further, and the country was strengthened by taxes, and if taxes were not effective, the country would die.

Counting Gan Qi's articles as well, adding them together, none of the articles Li Ding dared to spray alone. In more than 1,000 words, the word "dead country" appears thirty times.

Starting with military spending, when it comes to the expenses of officials, administrative errands, and water conservancy and irrigation, we slowly analyze and analyze to the end, there are two words: "the death of the country."

Wang Anshi also wrote an article: "The Book of His Majesty the Emperor". The content of it is to detail the weight of commercial taxes and call on the officials to come forward to determine the situation. The meeting was sent to the palace, but the content was also published in the newspaper, and the newspaper title was "Wang Anshi, Deputy Envoy of the Third Division, Denounces Unscrupulous Merchants".

This is really the righteousness of the family and the country.

Gan Qi personally selected and worked overtime to print, but the plum blossom brand only published a short amount of less than 2,000 words at the very end of the newspaper.

Some things, fermented, still need the last fire.

Ganchi is still waiting, waiting for another issue of the newspaper, another issue, and Ganchi will have a new move.

Beforehand, Gan Qi called Gan Ba, Di Yong, and Zhou Tong to the small hall of his home for a secret talk.

Then Di Yong went to the sumo ring, and Gan Ba entered Bianliang City.

Zhou Tong stayed by Gan Qi's side, never leaving.

At night, the printing workers were still busy, and even hired many women from the village to help.

When the sky was shining, many half-grown children from the village also rushed to the scene and began to fold the newspapers and pack the carts. As soon as the morning dawns, most of the newspapers will be delivered to Bianliang City, and some will be sent to Daojian Academy, and there will also be young scholars from the academy who will go to the city.

Everything was ready, the newspapers were transported to the city, Gan Qi got up, washed and ate, and took Zhao Zonglan into the city.

Today, something big is going to happen in this Bianliang City.

The ruthless person is never just Han Qi.

Gan Qi, under the appearance of a polite literati, has always had a ruthless and vicious heart.

The ox cart slowly swayed, and Gan Qi closed his eyes and remained silent. Entering the city today, Gan Qi wanted to go back to the commercial tax supervisor's yamen, which was the shabby courtyard.

Zhao Zonglan, who was in the same car, also seemed to feel that something was going to happen today, and asked: "The husband is an official of the imperial court, and it is inconvenient for the concubine to ask." But the husband must come back safely, even if this official is not appropriate, let's live a good life, and the concubine is also willing. ”

Gan Qi responded with a smile and nodded: "For the husband, a petty official from the seventh grade, where can there be any danger to his life, officialdom competition, that is the business of the court, for the husband just wants to participate, and he does not have that qualification." ”

Zhao Zonglan is so smart, she doesn't know about the things in Bianliang City, but she doesn't say much, she just nodded and said: "Well, what dignitaries and dignitaries, concubines don't care, as long as the concubine has a good husband, it is a poor life, as long as there is a book to read, this life is not wasted." ”

Zhao Zonglan has no way, knowing that Gan Qi can't participate in these things, she can only express her attitude towards life. She doesn't care about dignitaries or something, even if Gan Qi is not an official, she doesn't care. This is not a lie, the palace of Runan County is so high, and there is no longer too much envy and jealousy of others.

The wife is a good wife, the more good the wife, the more reluctant Gan Qi is to say those bad things, so he can only smile and say: "I don't think so much than you, it's not enough to have a book to read, if you think like this, what is the meaning of this life?" ”

Zhao Zonglan was a little uncomfortable when she heard this, Gan Qi's words, as if there was a difference in the values of the two, Zhao Zonglan said: "The future of officialdom, the husband doesn't have to be too demanding. ”

Gan Qi smiled and shook his head: "That's not what the husband said, the husband still wants ten or eight children, both men and women." The boy is like me, both civil and military, and his talent is unparalleled. The girl is like you, Hui quality Lanxin, peerless elegance. ”

This love story is full of points. Zhao Zonglan lowered her head when she heard this, and only replied softly: "Well......"

Suddenly, Zhou Tong, who was outside the car, opened his mouth and shouted: "Big brother, lift the curtain and see, why do so many people get together and go out of the city?" There are also many people with sticks and iron rulers in their hands......"

Gan Qi lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and the people on the side of the road, hundreds or thousands, were walking towards Gan Qi, obviously just coming out of Bianliang City, and many of them were still holding weapons in their hands.

Gan Qi's brow furrowed, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He said, "Park over to the side of the road." ”

The guy who was driving the car in front of him hurriedly pulled the car to the side.

"Big brother, do you want me to ask?" Zhou Tong asked.

"Go and ask!"

Zhou Tong didn't wait much, and quickly stepped forward to meet the crowd, but before Zhou Tong arrived, he heard someone shouting in front of the crowd: "Brothers, hurry up, don't let that dog official run away." ”

Zhou Tong heard this, turned around and ran back, got out of the car, and said, "Big brother, aren't these people out of the city looking for you?" ”

Recently, in this Bianliang City, which "dog official" can use such a teacher?

Gan Qi hurriedly ordered: "Zhou Tong, you quickly go back to the village, ask the neighbors to help, quickly move out the printed things at home, and take away the ancestral tablets at home, it doesn't matter if the rest is left, let them make trouble." ”

When Zhou Tong heard this, he hurriedly ran up and went back to the village. Two major events, the ancestral tablet, the printing of newspapers.

Zhou Tong went, but Gan Qi was thinking that he had been hiding in the village for the past two days, most of the people in the village were farmers, and they usually didn't go to the city, and there weren't many scholars, and Gan Qi himself didn't go out, at most he stood at the door.

How big is this Bianliang City? Why didn't these people go straight to their hometown outside Ganchi City if they didn't go to the house in Ganchi City first?

Who took the initiative to report to whom? Otherwise, no matter how much trouble you make, it should be in the house in Ganchi City first?

Thinking of this, Gan Qi let out a long sigh, and couldn't help but think of Gan Zheng who met at the door early yesterday morning.

It's no wonder that Gan Qi has this suspicion, if it weren't for Gan Zheng, the entire Ganjia Village, even if other people want to go to the ventilation to report the news, they don't know who to report, even if they know this, how can these illiterate farmers knock on the door of Bianliang's high-ranking officials? How can you enter the door of the government office?

Besides, now in Ganjia Village, which family is not grateful to Gan Qi? The people in a village are all relatives near and far, and now Gan Qi has taken them to make a lot of money and make a small amount of money, repaired and repaired the roads, ditches and water conservancy in the village, and let the school-age children in the village read for free. This kind of thing, even Li Xian is grateful to Dade, let alone others?

No one has a grudge against Ganqi, and when he thinks about it, some things are about to come out, and he is not far from ten.

Gan Qi could only sigh again, family, why do you have to make such a fuss?

"Madam, enter the city later, send you to the palace first, you haven't been back for a long time, go back and sit down, talk to the eldest sister, and I will send someone to pick you up in the evening." Gan Qi and Zhao Zonglan said.

Zhao Zonglan's face was already full of worry, and she asked, "Husband, if it really doesn't work, then resign from the official, right?"

Gan Qi was very cooperative: "Well, if it really doesn't work this time, I will resign from the official, and it doesn't mean anything to be in front of it." ”

Hearing this sentence made Zhao Zonglan feel a lot more relieved.

But in Ganch's heart, where is there anything that can't be done? Xiao Xiao is today, and he wants the entire Bianliang people to know that he Ganqi is not easy to bully.

The ox cart swayed into the city, first sent Zhao Zonglan to the palace, and Gan Qi went back to the yamen, in the yamen, most of the officials were still on vacation, but those tax collectors were all in armor and worth it.

Gan Qi sat firmly in the lobby, the sign hanging above his head was smashed by someone, and those punishment tools were gone, but there was nothing else missing, and this yamen was so poor that he had nothing.

Let's talk about the other side first, Zhou Tong hurried to the village, and before he entered the village, he ran on the road and shouted: "All help, my eldest brother begs everyone to help." ”

Why so yelling? Because on both sides of the road, there are fields in the village, and many men are working in the fields at this time.

With the shouting, everyone got up to look at Zhou Tong, and someone immediately asked, "What's the matter with Dao Jian?" In such a hurry? ”

"Come with me, it's too late to say more." Zhou Tong's footsteps did not stop.

I saw that the men in the fields all picked up their hoes and ran, chasing Zhou Dong's footsteps.

Zhou Tong was running and running, and he couldn't stop shouting when he entered the village.

Gan Qi's appeal was also revealed, the peasant women of this family, the children of that family, all ran out of the house, and they didn't know anything, so they followed Zhou Tong and ran away.

Clans, this is the most fundamental and united group in ancient China. Even in later generations, the clans in the south still maintain such traditions, and in some places in the south, even the big crime of drug trafficking and killing heads is taken together by the whole village. This tradition was somewhat inferior in the later generations in the North.

Rushing into the old house, Zhou Tong opened his mouth and shouted: "Quick, two things, the ancestral tablet and the printed things, help move out quickly, hurry, it's too late." ”

Zhou Tong was nervous, because those people were on the road, and they would not arrive in a moment.

Everyone didn't know why, and rushed into Ganqi's house, which was a move. Fortunately, most of the books in Ganqi's house have been moved to the academy, and some have been moved to the city house, and there are no valuable books in the old house, otherwise it would be too late to move these books.

Everyone moved everything to the house next door, and after they were busy, someone remembered and asked, "Zhou Dong, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Tong breathed a sigh of relief at this time and said: "There are hundreds or thousands of mobs in the city, armed with sticks, who want to enter the village to embarrass my eldest brother, so the eldest brother told me to come back and protect the important things, and the rest will be fine." ”

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier? What else are you moving? Just copy the guys and do it with them, and you can still make people bully them to the doorstep? ”

"Zhou Tong, you guy, you don't care about things. Let's go to the entrance of the village and see who can enter our village today. ”

"Hurry up and call someone, call all the men in the village out, how can our Gan family ever be bullied like this?"

"Invade the door, is there any royal law!"

"Zhou Tong, you don't have any eggs at all, and you've hit the door, can you still hide? Will we go out to meet people in the future? Do you still have a face to face? ”

"Damn, if this is humiliating, my son won't even be able to marry a daughter-in-law from a neighboring village in the future. Lao Tzu has a hoe in hand, just see who is not afraid of death! ”

This can't be blamed on Zhou Dong, Zhou Dong is aggrieved, because Gan Qi ordered him like this.

Everyone gathered, and some people began to walk quickly along the village road, holding a gong in their hands and constantly ringing, shouting loudly in their mouths.

Naturally, people gather more and more.

Gan Sanye also walked to the door and looked at it, and then went in again.

Gan Zheng was also at home, and when he hurriedly came out, he saw those indignant villagers, and hurriedly ran to the head and shouted: "Don't be angry, this is a crime...... If you hurt someone, you have to pay money and go to jail, and if you kill someone, you have to pay for your life, our Gan family is a good family......"

When a middle-aged man heard Ganzheng's words, he was unhappy, and said: "Duan Nian, now that you are an official, this clan is no longer reading, isn't it stupid to read?" In the coming day, someone will invade the door and set foot on the door to make it difficult for you, will I just sit idly by? ”

"Brother Zheng'er doesn't know what he is talking about, the official master should also be reasonable, it is someone else who is looking for our trouble, and it is not that we are looking for other people's trouble, we are reasonable, which yamen is also reasonable, and if you kill someone, you will also be reasonable, and if you kill a thief who invades the door and step on the house, the court will reward you!"

"If Brother Qi is at home, it must not be like Brother Zheng'er. Brother Zheng, don't look at you as an official, you haven't read this book clearly and understandably. If Brother Qi'er didn't go out, he would have raised his arms at this time, and we would have prepared early. ”

Gan Zheng heard that Gan Qi was not at home, his expression changed slightly, and when he saw that everyone said this, he hurriedly said: "How do you know that the people who come are thieves who invade the door?" What if it is a good citizen who comes to appeal normally? ”

"When the good people see you officials, can you hold sticks?"

"Let's go, go to the entrance of the village!"

"Brother Zheng, don't worry, if it's good to say, we are not unreasonable, and there is no need to make a fire. If you deceive people too much, then the men of our Gan family are not easy to bully. ”

"Let's go!"

"Pick up a guy, go to the village!"

There is no need to go to the entrance of the village, because the people who have come have already entered the village, and from behind a few cool trees at the entrance of the village, there is a steady stream of surging people.

"Brother Zheng, look, look at them, is this what it looks like to talk well?"

Gan Zheng was in a hurry, didn't this really want to bring a fire to the village? The fire rose together, and such a scene must have caused countless casualties......

Gan Zheng didn't dare to think about the consequences, and he didn't seem to expect that the people in the village would be willing to give Gan Qi such a hard time.

The villagers gathered together and walked forward, not giving a step, still shouting: "Get out, get out!" ”

The people who entered the village did not retreat a step, and while walking forward, they also shouted: "Dog Officer Ganqi, come out!" ”

At this time, Gan Zheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he probably didn't expect the consequences of some things to be so serious.

The villagers gathered more and more in all directions, just now there were only 100 people, but now there are 4 or 500 people.

There were as many as 1,800 men pouring into the village.

With so many people, if the fire rises together, no matter what the victory or defeat is, this Ganjia Village will definitely have countless casualties, and I don't know how many people have to do funerals.

Gan Zheng's heart is empty, and he is afraid.

Gan Zheng, who was weak and afraid, quickly squeezed in front of the crowd, and even broke away from the villagers directly and rushed forward.

As he ran, he shouted: "I'm Gan Zheng, the editor of the Privy Council, Gan Qi is not in the village, and he just entered the city in the morning." ”

"I'm Gan Zheng, the editor of the Privy Council, Gan Qi is not in the village, and he just entered the city in the morning."

The villagers looked at Gan Zheng with puzzled expressions.

The menacing man also looked at Gan Zheng with a puzzled face.

"The dog officer has gone into the city? Don't lie to me! ”

"I really went into the city, and I just entered the city, maybe I will have a meeting with you. I am a member of the Privy Council, how can I talk nonsense? Gan just wanted to stop this fire and, at this moment, he really knew that he was afraid.

"You must have deceived me, but I don't believe it!"

Gan Zheng was anxious, and said: "I am the confidant of the Privy Council Tian Xianggong, if you don't believe it, go to the city to find out, he is really not in the village, he has just left." ”

The menacing man stopped.

The villagers also walked to Gan Zheng's side, and some Hun Han spoke: "Brother Zheng, what are you talking to them about?" It's going to go out! ”

The people on both sides, twenty or thirty paces apart, stopped at each other's pace.

In the crowd opposite, a middle-aged man slowly squeezed out, stepped forward to look at Gan Zheng, and asked, "Is what you said true?" ”

This man seems to be one of the few people who really knows the inside story, Tian Xianggong's name came out of Gan Zheng's mouth, and he came forward to ask.

"Seriously!"

"Your name is Gan Zheng? Officers of the Privy Council? ”

"Exactly!"

"If you deceive us and others, you will be the end of this official." The middle-aged man's words were full of threats.

Gan Zheng heard this, his tone was so big, where did he dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted: "Don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

The middle-aged man nodded, raised his hand, and shouted, "Enter the city!" ”

1,800 people, who were really so obedient, immediately turned their heads.

Gan Zheng was relieved, turned back to many villagers and said, "Go home, go home separately." ”

But when he looked at everyone, they all looked at him with strange eyes.

No one knows about it, but they all know that Gan Zheng is strange today, and he also worships the person who invades the door, and also tells the person Gan Qi's whereabouts.

I can't tell what's wrong, but I just don't think there's a problem.

Someone asked, "Brother Zheng, haven't you done something wrong?" ”

Gan Zheng immediately replied: "Second room and eighth uncle, I took such a risk today to keep the people in the village safe, but you still say that I did something wrong, if I don't care about it and don't say anything to retreat from them, I don't know how many people will die or be injured today!" ”

It seems to be the same thing.

But the eighth uncle still felt that something was wrong, and asked again: "Brother Zheng, you grew up with us, but you can't eat inside and out." ”

"Nonsense, if I eat inside and out, I will hide at home and watch you fight and kill, and then the whole village will be full of orphans and widows crying! Eighth uncle, you didn't think I came forward, but said this, what is the reason? ”

The eighth uncle nodded, looked left and right, and couldn't say why, put the hoe on his shoulder, and shook his head: "Let's go, let's work." ”

Many villagers dispersed, and while scattering, they also looked back at Gan Zheng from time to time.

This scene in the village was also something Gan Qi didn't expect, he just thought about asking Zhou Dong to take someone to move the important things in the house, and it didn't matter if he lost some of the other things in the house, because Gan Qi's battlefield today was not here.

Moreover, Gan Qi never thought of mobilizing the villagers to protect himself, so he was afraid that among the clansmen, there would be deaths and injuries that would be difficult to explain. But Gan Qi didn't expect that the villagers would take the initiative to gather together to prepare for a war with outsiders.

Because Gan Qi also felt that he did not have the appeal to make so many people take the initiative to work for him.

Gan Qi didn't know about the affairs of the village for the time being, and he only thought that those who were looking for him would enter the city when they came to the village and Gan Qi was not there.

At this time, Gan Qi sat firmly in the yamen, waiting for the coming storm.

The commercial tax supervision yamen, originally the building was empty, and at this time there were many ironclad soldiers outside the door, this news does not need to be inquired about, anyone passing by can see it, and also know that there are people in the commercial tax supervision yamen.

The crowd that went out of the city in a rage naturally came to the yamen of the commercial tax supervisor again, and they came and went hard, and this time they couldn't let the dog official Gan Qi run away anymore no matter what.

Last time it was a civil fight, this time it was a martial fight, many people who knew some inside information were ready to fight, this time they were going to storm the yamen, and they wanted to make a big deal about it, and how big a fuss could be made.

It's just that the number of people this time is much smaller than last time, even if everyone invites and sends letters everywhere, there are no more than 3,000 people who really reach the commercial tax supervision yamen, not even 2,000 people, only 1,7800.

At this time, there are many people running around the city.

For example, Gan Ba invited a lot of people to tea, in fact, Gan Ba saw these people yesterday.

Most of the people who came at the appointment were people with big shoulders and round waists, among them, the second master Cui who listened to the newspaper in Gaojiadian a few days ago was impressively in the list, and he was greeting Gan Ba.

Gan Ba still stood in front of the head in a good manner, bowed down with everyone, and said, "Everyone, please today!" ”

Second Master Cui was very supportive and said: "What the overlord entrusts, it will definitely be done." On the rivers and lakes in Japan, Kaifeng Jinggi River North, also thanks to the blessing of the lord, I will go out and set up a flag. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone is a Bianliang brother, go out, if someone is bullied, just report my name." Gan Ba is very arrogant, Gan Ba on the rivers and lakes is not trivial, a fierce figure who breaks the village and destroys the door. Even if there is no such thing as the rivers and lakes spread outside, just with this thing that the thirteen gates of Tokyo say that it will be gone, Gan Ba is also a character walking sideways on the Bianliang rivers and lakes.

The crowd met briefly and went their separate ways.

Cui Erye quickly returned to his own territory and waved at Brother Mao, who was wandering on the side of the road.

Brother Mao rushed forward and asked, "What's the matter with the second master?" ”

Second Master Cui said with a smile: "Second Master is going to do a big thing today." ”

Brother Mao asked happily, "The second master wants my help?" ”

"You're still young, I don't need you for this big thing, but I can use you for some errands." Second Master Cui said.

Brother Mao was a little unhappy: "Second master, you can't underestimate me, I dare to kill someone!" ”

Second Master Cui smiled: "Next time, next time there is a big event, I will use you." Today, you will help me run some small things, can you do it? ”

"Don't do small things, I want to do big things!" Brother Mao was not convinced.

Second Master Cui couldn't either, so he looked Brother Mao up and down, a half-grown boy, and his body slowly got up, so he smiled and said, "Then you can do this little thing well, and I will take you to see the excitement when the time comes." ”

"That's okay, second master, what is the matter? I also have a lot of brothers under me, and the errand work will be done for you in a moment. ”
