Chapter 153: No Concessions
Peng Chengguo, as soon as he started, Zhang Ming came to kill.
Zhang Ming sent people to surround the county government, and then no matter how Wentu protested, Fang Zheng surrounded it, and then he didn't care.
A day passed, and the counties around Liuxian County began to sell salted fish again.
Other county orders will return the salted fish.
The next day, someone sent a letter overnight, and finally the next morning, the minister of state of Peng Chengguo received the news.
The country is equal to Taishou, and he is dealing with big and small things.
"How can it be?"
"Does he want to rebel?"
"Lead troops to surround the county government, and frame others for rebellion."
Pengcheng State Minister Shi Wen was losing his temper in the State Minister's Mansion at this time.
His staff stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency, this matter still needs to be resolved by you, Zhang Ming is unreasonable, he has already surrounded the county government, and without you coming forward, the other counties have begun to retreat." ”
This is inevitable, other county orders, who can block Zhang Ming's Bingfeng, who dares to fight against Zhang Ming.
"Gather 3,000 soldiers and horses and go to Liuxian County."
This Shi Wen knew the seriousness of the matter, he had to come forward, and also wrote to Tao Qian and the Cao family, asking them to quickly find a way to deal with it.
Shi Wenqin set out with an army of 3,000.
The entire Pengcheng Kingdom exudes a sense of weirdness.
The county order of Liuxian can still be surrounded by an alien taishou.
Zhang Ming spread the news, there were many crimes, and he added everything he could think of.
In addition, Zhang Ming also openly sent people to Luoyang to complain, and he was very high-profile along the way.
In the streets, many surrounding counties are circulating, seizing salted fish, preparing to rebel for personal gain and to collect military salaries.
These accusations spread among the people, and the county magistrates who had seized salted fish were terrified.
After this Zhang Ming surrounded the county government, he cleared the surrounding streets, and they were stationed here, as if they were not going to leave.
They were stationed, and Qiu did not commit any crimes, and they waited here.
"Lord, we have received news that the Prime Minister of Pengcheng is leading his troops to arrive." A scout said.
Zhang Ming laughed shamefully and said: "Here, they still dare to attack Lao Tzu, this time there is no blood, Lao Tzu doesn't want to stop." ”
Zhang Ming is not in a hurry, the news of this matter has not yet fully spread, so why should he wait for three or five days later, and spread throughout Xuzhou.
The seven major salt merchants in Xiapi City also have to face tremendous pressure on this matter.
The order went down, and the city of Picheng was ordered to be collected in an all-round way.
When it was confiscated, it was found that the number of salted fish was not large, and the ones on the road had been blocked.
It seems that this time the matter can be solved quickly, and the price is to completely offend Zhang Ming.
The first day passed, and no clashes broke out between the two sides.
Zhang Ming is very restrained, as long as they come to seize the salted fish, they will not resist and let them detain it.
When they seized it, they also found a large amount of copper coins, which were all money from the sale of salted fish.
However, these families did not dare to arrest people, nor did they dare to collect the money.
The salted fish was seized and the shop was sealed.
As the day passed, most of the salted fish was not sold.
The next day, there was basically no one selling salted fish.
"In two days, when the price of salted fish goes up, we will hurry up and ship a batch of goods, which is really unbearable." Cao Xing said to the others.
The others nodded their heads, and this time it was very bad for them.
Several families have expressed the need to sell some salted fish to return to blood.
Another day passed, and when I went down to Picheng, there was still a sound of crusade in the market.
The government has published a list to refute the rumors, claiming that selling salted fish is illegal and only targets salted fish.
However, this list is weak, and the market is still aimed at Tao Qian, saying that Tao Qian wants to rebel, but he just added the seven major salt merchants as their accomplices.
At this time, the entire Han Dynasty is so chaotic, there are often people who rebel, and the matter of chasing after the wind and shadows may not be able to help Tao Qian, but in the case of surging public opinion, the court will take down the people first, whether they believe it or not.
Tao Qian is a political veteran who has seen the crisis.
Things continue to develop.
On Peng Chengguo's side, the prime minister finally arrived with 3,000 soldiers and horses.
"Zhang Ming, you led the troops to surround the county government, do you want to rebel?"
Shi Wen brought people over, and the streets were full of soldiers and horses.
Zhang Ming sat on the horse, and then said, "Don't dare." ”
Zhang Ming looked back at the county government, and then said to Shi Wen: "Since the Prime Minister is here, this Wentu rebellion will naturally be handed over to the Minister of State to deal with." ”
"You are talking nonsense, how can this Wen County Order rebel."
Zhang Ming'an sat on the horse, both of them were too guarded, and he didn't look like he wanted to get off the horse and salute at all.
Zhang Ming said: "Wentu plundered people's property, amassed wealth, and intended to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, if you don't believe it, you go to the street to ask, I don't know how many people have seen it." ”
“......”
What should Shi Wen say at this time?
Said that the seizure of salted fish was his order?
Does Zhang Ming also want to treat him as a rebel?
Shi Wen didn't know what to do at this time.
It stands to reason that this is his home field, and Zhang Ming is an outsider, so he doesn't bother at all.
"Zhang Ming, this is Xuzhou, if the case is decided, it will not be your turn to say, whether the Wen County Order is a rebellion or not, it should be convicted by Xuzhou."
Zhang Ming nodded clearly, and then said: "Wen Tu must be handed over to Xuzhou for disposal, but Ben Taishou has already been played to the imperial court, in order to prevent Wen Tu from escaping and contacting his accomplices, this official will work hard and stop the people first." ”
"It's better for the Prime Minister to arrest his accomplices first, and the evidence of Wentu's guilt has been confirmed, don't worry, the official is watching, he can't escape."
Zhang Ming passed over with a wave of mouth cannons, and this Shi Wen didn't know how to answer.
This Zhang Ming made it clear that he didn't want to release people, could he still kill and rob people?
Zhang Ming accused An of treason, and now there is evidence of guilt, and this matter is very difficult to solve.
"Zhang Ming, this is Xuzhou, we will do the investigation, and hand over the person to the official first."
Although Shi Wen didn't know what to do, he also knew that people couldn't be in Zhang Ming's hands, otherwise they wouldn't be able to say it clearly.
Zhang Ming ignored it and turned around and left directly.
And this Shi Wen did not dare to attack, once the two sides moved their troops and horses, the matter would be even more complicated.
Shi Wen also thought about whether to give Zhang Ming a charge of rebellion, and then did him.
But he also thought about it, he didn't have the ability or the courage.
Just a small official at the level of Taishou can't afford it at all.
That's where the two sides confronted.
However, the effect was very good, and salted fish in other places began to be sold again.
Officials everywhere removed the cards they had set up.
Salted fish was brought in again and sold again.
In another confrontation, this Xuzhou fell into the disadvantage again.
Shi Wen's negotiation still had no effect, unless he made a move on Zhang Ming, Zhang Ming didn't bother to pay attention to him.
The two sides were confronted, but Shi Tian was so anxious that he didn't know what to say.
Zhang Ming's behavior is completely rebellion, if he is bold, he may be fine if he really takes Zhang Ming, but no one dares.
