Chapter 192: Reckoning
"That family is Qinghe Cui, not Bo Ling Cui, can't we do this?" A reasonable man asked, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the others.
"Whatever he does with Cui, the surname Cui is not a good person anyway, everyone go with me, kill this group of animals, rob them of gold, silver, jewelry and women, and it can be regarded as revenge for the innocent villagers who died in vain."
Some people shout, wave their sleeves to stir people's hearts, what can others hear? Anyway, so many people are doing it together, and if the law doesn't blame the public, then let's follow!
So the streets of Chang'an were full of crazy thugs, Qinghe Cui's family was shocked three times a day, if these thugs really rushed here, they couldn't stop them at all.
Frightened, they immediately fled to other places, leaving their subordinates to resist to the death, and in the end they were also killed, and another extravagant mansion was burned to the ground.
At this time, almost all the people became thugs, all of them were full of red faces, some were wrapped in silk and satin, some were wrapped around their waists with white jade belts, all of them were carrying gold, silver and jewelry, and they were satisfied to find the next family.
At this time, who cares what the Cui family is or not, the rich can be. Some of the cowardly, clever and clever, carried the money and pulled the stolen food, and trotted away while others were laughing at them.
After laughing, the others wanted to rob the nearby eunuchs, when the ground shook and the dust was flying, and a huge footstep was approaching.
I don't know who first called out in a panic that the new army was coming to arrest people, and everyone immediately panicked, as if they had come to an orderly world from the barbarian era, and they were running around one by one.
"Take them all down, take the lead, and don't let any of the bullying women go." Meng Baolai said with palpitations, Chang'an is like a mess, the city fox society rats did not come out to make trouble, but those ordinary people who are usually timid and afraid of things are like crazy burning, killing and looting.
Wei Chigong led the army to suppress the riots in Chang'an, while Meng Baolai pacified the scourge at the source. As soon as they were surrounded by the army, the mob who was originally like a wolf and a tiger became sheep, and Meng Baolai only glared at it a few times, and they confessed all the leaders and those who abused the women like bamboo tubes.
Meng Baolai's eyes widened and he didn't believe anything, the old gentleman who was famous and decent on weekdays actually took the lead in bullying women, this is what Hou Ye said about moral corruption and human nature?
When Cai Cong returned to the Hou Mansion from the palace. Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were actually waiting for him at the door, thinking of what they had seen, Cai Cong wanted to escape a little.
It's a pity that it's too late, Wei Zheng came over with a black face and personally opened the curtain for Cai Cong, Fang Xuanling pressed the sedan chair, and the two of them were like subordinates who had already welcomed Cai Cong off the sedan chair.
"I can't help it, the two bosses are breaking my life!" Cai Congcheng said in fear, Wei Zheng was angry and smashed the curtain and almost smashed Cai Cong's face, Fang Xuanling smiled and let his subordinates hold down the sedan chair, and his bearing and qi cultivation skills were much stronger than Wei Zheng.
Cai Cong didn't dare to attack when he was dumped, and said with a smile: "Two adults, please, there is a new batch of ginseng in the house, it is a good thing, I will bring some back later." ”
"Hehe, the old man of the Hou Mansion will not go in, at this moment the ghost of the Hou Mansion is wailing, extremely miserable, the old man is afraid that he will not be able to sleep tonight if he hears too much."
Fang Xuanling said calmly, Wei Zheng gritted his teeth and looked at Cai Cong, both of them didn't go to the Hou Mansion for a single step, and now they didn't even want to come to the door!
"In that case, the kid is not reluctant to be two. The sixth son asked someone to bring chairs and tables, and then make a pot of tea. Cai Cong shouted towards the house, turned around and smiled and said to the two, "You always want a cup of tea, right?" ”
"Humph!"
Wei Zheng sat on the chair angrily, pinched his beard and didn't speak, Fang Xuanling blew the tea foam, took a sip and praised the good tea.
"This tea can't be drunk! The Marquis of Chang'an, who has always been a saint, had a hand with the Cui family, killed hundreds of people, burned dozens of houses, and the people on the edge of the Cui Mansion wanted to cry without tears.
And those people walked near the entrance of the yamen, and they were all put down with a stick and looted. Does Chang'an Hou have any opinion on this? ”
Wei Zheng said in a weird way, he was really angry, the two families were playing, the Cui Mansion plus the female dependents, and the subordinates, but more than sixty people died, but the people who were implicated for no reason died three or four hundred.
Some people are still beaten to death by a group of people, and they don't know how to convict them.
Cai Cong's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this, he knew that the riot was what he sent people to instigate, but how could it have evolved like this?
"Look at your expression, you know that you wouldn't have guessed this, remember to think twice about doing things. Some people are not something you can control, the old man fought the world with His Majesty in his early years, and he dared to do anything. There is only one thing I dare not do, and that is to incite the people like this.
When the seemingly ordinary and easy to bully people gather, it is not someone who can control it, they will not stop if they do not destroy everything in front of them and vent the grievances accumulated in their hearts. In the end, it is full of devastation, and a lot of money needs to be used to comfort the victims and restore order. ”
Fang Xuanling patted Cai Cong's shoulder, and said earnestly, Cai Cong understood that these two masters were here to compensate.
That's right, he Cai Cong stabbed such a big basket, even if Li Shimin had the heart to help him bear it, the ministers would not agree, why help Cai Cong wipe his ass?
"Alas! It was Ben Hou who was too eager to eradicate such a tumor, and in order not to make him endanger the country, I resorted to such a method. I didn't expect this to happen, I'm sad! ”
Cai Cong said and squeezed out a few tears from his eyes, he really didn't want money, a commercial street had already smashed all this year's money into it. A little bit of his family foundation has also been scraped clean by the imperial court, and he can't get the money even if he wants to.
"Don't say it so nicely, who doesn't know why you want to attack Bo Lingcui, it's not because he killed your two disciples. You caused this, those people want to be compensated, those houses are to be built, these are all money, do you want the court to help you give it? ”
Wei Zheng slammed the teacup on the table, stood up and glared at Cai Cong angrily. Fang Xuanling hurriedly stood up to comfort him, turned back to Cai Cong and said, "Actually! This money is not much for you, only more than 70,000 yuan, and the rest of the money can be obtained from Cui's house, so you can take it out according to the old man's opinion! Just buy peace of mind. ”
"No money!" Cai Cong said dryly, and Wei Zheng pointed at him. The beard shook angrily. Cai Cong said helplessly: "My family really has no money, all the money from Liaodong has been invested in the commercial street, and other places are still operating, and there is really no money in the house." ”
"It turns out that it's not that he refuses to give, it's that he has no money, you see, the old man is Chang'an Hou, not the kind of person who is stingy with money!"
Fang Xuanling said to Wei Zheng in a complaining tone, Wei Zheng glanced at Cai Cong, and asked bluntly: "You are still willing to pay this money if you have money, right?" ”
