CHAPTER XX: Riots Break Out

But under the deliberate waterproofing of Yu Prison, not to mention the rioting people on the street at this time, even the poisoned people who had just woken up from Li Shizhen's enema treatment were carried home one by one.

At this time, except for a group of vigilant sergeants patrolling back and forth on the street, it can be said that there is not even a ghost to be found, and Chen Hu, this kid, is shouting and commanding indiscriminately, and he can't catch a mob until the evening.

Pretending to listen to Chen Hu's report, Yu Jiao glanced at the serious generals on the left and right and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is such a situation, the prefect was brutally killed by the mob but we did not catch the murderer, once the situation is reported to the imperial court, I am afraid that you and me, the officials of the Nanjing Guard, will be convicted, I don't know if you are willing to bear the responsibility with this official!" ”

The generals immediately turned bitter, the reason why this matter became like this, everyone had witnessed it with their own eyes, and they were originally puzzled why Yu Jian was so bold and reckless, and they were not afraid that the court would blame him and investigate his responsibility.

I didn't expect him to use this trick to drag the big guy into the water without reproaching everyone, so that even if anyone wanted to report his behavior in this matter behind his back, they had to weigh it carefully.

Yu Jiao's boss's words have already reached such a point, even if the generals are reluctant in their hearts, they can only clasp their fists and shout willingly.

Yu Jiao nodded with satisfaction, in fact, he knew what everyone was thinking, but he just deliberately pretended not to know: "Then thank you very much, if there is anything that needs the help of this official in the future, even if it is not enough, I will turn to others to do it for everyone!" ”

These words seem intriguing, but as long as you understand why Yu Jiao was transferred to the commander of the Nanjing Guard, you don't need to think about it to know who he is referring to, this person is Shen Chongming, the Duke of Zhongguo who is currently living outside Nanjing.

Everyone still knows Shen Chongming's energy, don't look at the fact that people seem to be losing the upper hand in the party struggle in the court now, but when it comes to power, it is definitely not comparable to our little Qiu Ba, just with a yamen full of cronies, it is enough to bring everyone to death.

The words have already been said to this point, and at this moment, everyone also understands why Yu Jiao would adopt such an attitude in the handling of this matter, this must be on Shen Chongming's orders!

Thinking of this, the original resentment in his heart is no longer there, and the court's blame is at most to punish some Yu Lu and reprimand a few words, but if he offends Shen Chongming, the outcome will be difficult to say.

The expressions on everyone's faces were all in sight, and they got up with a slight smile and said, "Your Excellency has also worked hard for a day, and this official has ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and everyone will not return home if you are not drunk today!" ”

"Lord Xie's Demon Sect Dao Heart!" The generals stood up and said yes in unison, and the matter was successfully resolved.

Shen Chongming is quite satisfied with the resolution of the matter in Nanjing City, and now the only thing that worries him is Zhang Juzheng's opinion on Yu Jiao on this matter, he is afraid that he will not be able to run away from a crime that is unfavorable, but the specific result is not yet known.

However, twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye, and this matter that worries Shen Chongming has finally come to an end, and the frequent poisoning incidents of people in various places have become a big thing, and in the face of this matter, other affairs can only give way.

"At present, there have been large-scale poisoning of people drinking porridge in many places in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, and there have been large and small riots in many places, or local yamen officials were killed, or the riots were quickly quelled by the guards, in short, the people who participated in the riots were extremely badly injured, according to the incomplete summary of data from all over the world, there are almost more than 8,000 people!" Chen Xiao frowned deeply and said to Shen Chongming, who looked helpless.

Maybe these 8,000 lives are nothing in a big war? The average number of places is not a large number, but? At this time, when the people's hearts are unstable, the imperial court used such ruthless means to quell the riots and deter the people, which has a great impact on the gains and losses of the people.

At this moment, Shen Chongming seemed to smell a faint smell of blood in a trance, maybe a great chaos that would plague the world was about to begin.

Sighing, Shen Chongming smiled bitterly and said, "The whip is beyond reach!" Tell me how the court plans to deal with this matter! ”

This is the truth, now he can only take care of the small land of Nanjing City in Jiangnan at most, and as for other places, he can only stare and be anxious.

Chen Xiao shook his head and said: "My lord, this news has just been transmitted to the capital, and now the ministers above the court are also holding their own opinions, and I am afraid that there will be no specific conclusion for a while, but Zhang Juzheng has repeatedly mentioned the punishment of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but more importantly, he strictly ordered the soldiers and horses of the guards in various places to guard against riots in the areas under their jurisdiction, and once there is a sign of it, it will be quickly extinguished, regardless of ...... Casualty! ”

"Hehehe, he can be ruthless, if he becomes like this today, if the court imposes another cruel punishment, I am afraid that the disaster will be even greater!" Shen Chongming shook his head and smiled bitterly, Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng, have you been blinded by power, and can you turn a blind eye to the countless lessons in history?

"Who's to say it isn't? In these days, the activities of Wuwei are becoming more and more blatant, and it can now be basically concluded that they must have made trouble behind so many poisoning incidents, and they must have participated in the riots of the people everywhere! ”

As soon as he talked about this matter, Chen Xiao was a little anxious in his heart: "My lord, now that the forces of the Wuwei Sect have won a big victory in the past, if they are allowed to develop like this, I am afraid that it will not end well in the future!" You see, shouldn't they be suppressed appropriately! ”

Shen Chongming nodded, but then shook his head again: "Don't pay attention to this matter, Wuwei has taught so many things, just to accumulate strength to be able to raise the flag and rebel as soon as possible, if you suppress them at this time, no matter how big or small the effect is, it will definitely affect their momentum, so that the time for them to raise the flag and rebel will drag on longer, and the days of suffering of the people will be longer!" ”

"This ......" Chen Xiao hesitated for a while, and then nodded helplessly: "Yes, I understand!" ”

At the same time, Zhang Juzheng, who was in the capital, was also furious, and the kind-hearted porridge caused such a disaster, how could he not be angry, more precisely, hate.

One hates the officials of the world for their own selfish interests and traps the court in an unrighteous place, the second hates the rebellious party and takes the opportunity to stir up his own plans, and the third hates that the heavens do not bless him and does not take care of himself, a person who is dedicated to the country.

"Pavilion Elder, Lei Leopard of the East Factory outside the mansion asks to see the wealthy contract: the young master can't cheat on the latest chapter!" Just when Zhang Juzheng was frowning at home and thinking about the current situation, the servant stood in front of the door in a slight tone to report.

The old man's study has always been quiet to the point of hearing the sound on the ground, although his voice is small, his old man will be able to hear it really.

As soon as he heard that it was Lei Leopard, a trace of joy immediately flashed on Zhang Juzheng's face, but he still said slowly: "Let him come in!" ”

"Humble East Factory Lei Leopard, meet Zhang Ge Lao!" Walking into the study lightly, Lei Bao knelt down on one knee and bowed with his shirt.

"Hehe, Lord Lei, please get up!" Zhang Juzheng was smiling, still the same gentle and elegant as before.

"Xie Ge Lao!" Lei Leopard stood up, but his waist was still bowed slightly: "Elder Qiyu Pavilion, the matter of your life to Lei Leopard has already been raised!" ”

Zhang Juzheng raised his eyebrows, and a trace of eagerness crossed his eyes again: "Tell me quickly, who did this poisoning thing!" ”

There have been poisoning in so many places, even a fool can see that something is wrong, although Zhang Juzheng has not left the capital for half a step, he also knows this matter clearly, this must be someone behind the deliberate embarrassment with the court.

Since the other party can poison all over the place at the same time, it can be seen that its power is not small, Zhang Juzheng knows that this kind of thing is difficult to do with the local yamen alone, and it has to rely on the yamen such as Jinyiwei and Dongchang, who specialize in major and important cases.

Jinyiwei is not so much Liu Shouyou's world, but Shen Chongming's base, Zhang Juzheng knows this, but he never planned to use them, so if you want to know what organization and who are fighting against the imperial court, you can only rely on Dongchang to investigate.

Zhang Juzheng has a lot of eyes, the power of Dongchang is in the hands of Feng Bao, and this guy is the master who only takes advantage of it and does not suffer losses, if he asks Dongchang to investigate this case through his hands, he is afraid that he will have to bargain with himself again to get some benefits.

Originally, Zhang Ju was too lazy to bother with him, and occasionally let him have some benefits, and he could continue to maintain the stability of the alliance between them.

But now for such a major event, Zhang Juzheng really didn't have the heart to bargain with him and waste time, so he avoided him and directly found the big stall Lei Leopard, because Lei Leopard's current situation made Zhang Juzheng very sure that he could drive him.

Although this guy is no longer trusted by Feng Bao since he beat Zhu Yiluan. Although he is still temporarily at the top of the big stall, it is a pity that the power can no longer be compared with before.

At this time, he avoided Feng Bao to use him to do things, and this person would definitely seize the opportunity to get closer to him in order to make a comeback.

Sure enough, after Zhang Juzheng found Lei Leopard, he said what he asked him to do, and Lei Leopard agreed without thinking about it.

Although he has now lost his position in the East Factory, after all, Lei Bao has been the head of the East Factory for so many years, and the loyal subordinates from all over the country still grasp a lot of them, and under the order, groups of secret agents flew to various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and this matter was almost explored in a few days.

"Ge Lao, the poisoning is very likely to be done by the Wuwei Sect, and I found that they are recruiting a large number of believers right now, and the intention of rebellion is becoming more and more obvious!" Lei Bao looked up at Zhang Juzheng and said.

As soon as the three words of Wuwei Jiao came out, Zhang Juzheng's pupils shrank violently: "You mean that the Wuwei Sect investigated and handled by the Jinyi Health Department in the past few years,!" ”

"Exactly!" Lei Bao nodded very affirmatively, this happened, I am afraid that Zhang Juzheng is about to make a move on Jinyiwei, I can watch a good show, see if he Liu Shouyou has Shen Chongming's assistance, can he still call his name so loudly,
