Chapter 19: Hang High

Chapter 19 hangs high

In the face of the surging people, the fierce officials of the past immediately fell into a state of collapse.

To say that in the face of unarmed ordinary people, the nearly 100 officials of the government will not be so unbearable, but the tragedy is that the crowd is mixed with a lot of people who are not educated, these people are more or less able to do some kung fu, and it is natural to deal with these officials who can only scare and scare the common people.

The prefect was angry and walked quickly, but as soon as one foot crossed the threshold, he saw the situation in front of him, and this group of Diao people actually beat the officials.

If you see such things in the past, the prefect will definitely be furious, and he will order someone to take down all these lawbreakers with a shot, but unfortunately, now except for the beautiful wives and concubines of the back office, the strong officials are almost all wiped out, how can a person as smart as the prefect put on a shelf regardless of the situation.

Without much thought, he turned around sharply and fled towards the back office in great strides.

"Oh, where is the dog officer escaping!" I don't know who shouted, and several figures rushed to the door of the yamen in an instant, but they saw the familiar and fat figure of the prefect, and before leaving, the protector of the Dharma told him that he must make this matter bigger, and the best way is to slaughter the dog prefect of Ying Tianfu, and then Ying Tianfu will not be able to mess up.

The prefect's figure is indeed a little fat, although Jinshi and the first were just a handsome young student with a height of six feet, but under the pampering of more than 20 years, his body has already developed horizontally several times, and he may not be able to squeeze into the small courtyard door of ordinary people.

The body formed such an appearance, how could the prefect succeed if he wanted to escape for his life at this moment, he was kicked to the ground without running a few steps, and then punched and kicked and drowned in the sea of people.

The chaos at the Yamen came too quickly, and by the time the garrison in the city heard the news and arrived, the people, who had already been characterized as mobs, had already looted all the Yamen's belongings and fled, and drove to other places.

Naturally, this news quickly reached Shen Chongming's ears, and when he heard that in addition to such things, Shen Chongming, who was just a little better, sighed helplessly, looked around and smiled bitterly at the people around him: "It's over, it's really all over now!" ”

Zhang Juzheng's response to this matter is very well understood, that is, if the appeasement fails, he will forcibly suppress it, all he wants is temporary stability, to put it mildly, as long as he can be stable, this person can do whatever it takes.

This time there was a poisoning incident, and I hurried to the city to deal with it, one is because I feel guilty for the suffering people, and the other is because I am worried that the people who will be in crisis due to the turmoil caused by this incident.

But as soon as this detoxification thing came to the eyebrow, the news that the angry people killed the prefect in the chaos and looted the government was tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky to him.

Chen Xiao was very thoughtful, and he was also clear about what Shen Chongming had in mind, and he pondered it and said: "My lord, now that the prefect is dead, the only one who can call the shots is Lord Yu Jiaoyu, the commander of Nanjing Wei, you have a very high prestige in the army, and you have the grace of regeneration for him, if you warn him a few words, it may not be useless!" ”

Shen Chongming slapped his head and suddenly realized, what he said was right, local affairs have always been decided by civilian officials, but now that civilian officials are gone, this matter of dispatching troops to quell the riot is naturally the military commander's resignation.

"Good death!" Shen Chongming sneered, this Lord of the Shuntian Mansion was beaten to death by the people, probably it was also the will of heaven.

"Chen Xiao, this matter is not easy for the official to show up, you will go and tell the Nanjing Wei Commander Yamen to tell Yu Gao, just say that the official means that this matter should be treated carefully, and it must not be regarded as a simple riot, and the people who participated in the riot should be besieged but not attacked, after all, they did such things, and the government was at fault first, so don't hold them accountable for their fault in this matter, of course, this is just the official's advice, how to do it, let him make his own decision, the official has no right to order him!"

After instructing Chen Xiao about this matter, Shen Chongming raped: "Everyone, if something like this happens in the city, it is inappropriate for everyone to stay, in order not to be regarded by the people as corrupt officials and the party and kill our lives, everyone should hurry up and run out of the city!" ”

After that, Shen Chongming ignored the stunned expressions of disbelief on his subordinates, and waved his hand: "Withdraw!" ”

This is also for Shen Chongming's self-preservation, after all, if such a big thing happens, there must be an explanation for all aspects, and all the yamen officials in Nanjing City are alive, and he, the grandfather of the country who is recuperating at home, can not be mixed up at will, in case Zhang Juzheng is caught by Zhang Juzheng for not following the imperial court decree and interfering in government affairs without authorization, it is a big trouble.

And this matter has been arranged by itself. Although he said to Chen Xiao that this was not an order for Yu Prison, his own words were definitely better than the order issued by Zhang Juzheng in the name of the imperial court, and now that the prefect is dead, there is no one in Nanjing City who can control him for a while, so there is nothing to worry about in the handling of this matter.

And what he has to do is to hang himself high, take away the responsibilities that may be spread on his body, and absolutely not let Zhang Juzheng grasp the handle.

For Shen Chongming, Yu Jiao is definitely grateful, although the two have lived together in Nanjing City for such a long time, they have not had any contact with each other, but the contact between them has not been severed, but it has turned from light to dark, after all, Shen Chongming's current situation Yu Jiao is clear in his heart, and the best thing is to be alone and not to interact with court officials, otherwise it will make Lord Zhang in the capital uneasy, but there will be many branches.

Now that Chen Xiao came in a hurry and brought Shen Chongming's words, Yu Jiao, who was worried about how to deal with this riot, immediately nodded yes, and with an order, several groups of people and horses gathered were ordered to kill out of the barracks, thinking about the plague, smashing and looting the mob around him.

The imperial army was approaching, and the news immediately reached the ears of Zheng Shanchuan, who was personally presiding over the matter in Nanjing, and he did not make any more arrangements, but ordered his subordinates, who were mixed with the rioting people and acted as guides, to retreat immediately, so as not to be dumplings by the official army.

So far, the rebellion of the people of the city is still in his plan.

Originally, according to Zhao Wenyi's intentions, poison was poured into the rice porridge sent by the yamen for the people in various places, so that the victims were discouraged from turning their heads into his inaction, so as to achieve the purpose of continuing to rapidly expand their strength.

But because Zheng Shanchuan was unwilling to cause more murder and resolutely did not agree to put deadly poison to kill innocent people, this plan would be greatly discounted.

After all, as long as no one dies, the government can naturally push this matter to other aspects, so as to hang itself high and remove the responsibility completely, and the hungry people are very likely to be coaxed into continuing to eat the porridge sent by the government, and the possibility of turning to inaction will naturally become smaller.

Moreover, after this incident, the government will definitely grow wise, and it will not be easy to poison it in the future.

Zhao Wenyi was not happy with this situation, and Zheng Shanchuan actually didn't want to see it in his heart.
