Li Zhi didn't expect that the interior of the General Military Mansion was also invaded by the gentry, and his face was angry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"How did you get people in?"
Seeing that Li Zhi was angry, the guards stammered, "Yes... It's a vendor who delivers food to the kitchen... The master of the kitchen did not pay attention to the well thrown into the well! ”
Li Zhi asked, "Did you catch this vendor?" Who instructed it? ”
The guard replied, "The vendor has been caught." It was instigated by the Wang family, a large landowner in Jinghai County. ”
Li Zhi groaned: "Wang family? ”
The guard said: "The head of the Wang family is a man, with 6,000 acres of fertile land, and he is a wealthy man in Jinghai County. He was afraid that his uncle would accept his field endowment, so he took the lead in making trouble and did something to his uncle. ”
Li Zhi said coldly: "Let the commander of Tongzhi Zhong Feng lead the troops to Jinghai County to arrest the head of the Wang family and punish the three clans of the head of the Wang family!" ”
The guards agreed, and went to pass the word.
Li Zhi rode on the horse and said fiercely: "I want to see if these small killers are ruthless, or my tiger master is ruthless." ”

In the capital city of Hejian Prefecture, in a luxuriously decorated courtyard with four entrances, a middle-aged man wearing a shirt and a scarf sat on a rosewood wooden chair with exquisite carvings, and was tapping on the coffee table with his hands.
After a long time, the middle-aged man raised his hand and pushed out the two maids who were waiting in the room. The two maids closed the door when they went out, and there were only two people left in the room.
The middle-aged man who took the maid was the richest landlord in Hejian Mansion, and he was promoted to Xuanjin. Opposite him, there was an old man with a white beard, who was the second richest man in Hejian Mansion, and Du Zeren, the Henan soldier of Zhishi.
Tianjin Town, 1 Prefecture, 2 Prefectures and 16 counties are all in Hejian Province, and only four counties are not in Hejian Province. The richest man in Hejian Mansion is basically the richest man in Tianjin Town. Now Li Zhiqiang levied taxes on the gentry, and the civil officials in Tianjin Town did not dare to confront Xingguobo, so they hung up their seals one by one. The gentry of Tianjin Town had to fight against Li Zhi on their own.
The Yu family's 2,000 hectares of fertile land were almost all sacrificed by peasants to avoid servitude, and if Li Zhi expropriated the Yu family's field endowment, the Yu family's industry would collapse in an instant. Yu Xuanjin was forced to a dead end by Li Zhi, and he had to fight to the death with Li Zhi no matter what.
Yu Xuanjin lowered his voice and said to Du Zeren: "Du Bingbei, I have tried, and the fire dragon bullet I bought can be used!" ”
Du Zeren stroked his long beard and was silent.
After a long time, Du Zeren whispered: "Master Yu, the Wang family in Jinghai County and the He family in Qingxian County were arrested by Li Zhi, saying that they were going to punish the three clans!"
Yu Xuanjin said with a smile: "Du Bingbei is worried that the news has leaked and asked Li Zhi to be on guard?" ”
Du Zeren nodded and whispered: "After the Wang family and the He family made a move, Li Thief was very vigilant. It is said that now there are five steps and one post in the general soldier's mansion, and the food and tea are first eaten by the dogs, and then there are special people to eat, and there is no problem before it is used by the Li family. Li thief must wear steel armor when he goes out, and the soldiers he brings are never less than 100 people. ”
"I'm worried that our batch of fire dragon bombs won't kill Li Zhi."
Yu Xuanjin smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, Du Bingbei, this fire dragon bullet was operated by someone from Beijing by me, once it is ignited, there will be no life within two steps." This time, we ambushed twenty people in the courtyard next to the road between the General Military Mansion and the West Gate, each holding two dragon bullets. As long as Li Zhi goes to Fanjiazhuang, we will throw out forty fire dragon bullets. No matter how fast Li Zhi runs, can he run fast with this fire dragon bullet? ”
Du Zeren took a breath and did not speak.
Yu Xuanjin smiled and said, "Du Bingbei, you follow me to the firewood room, and I will blow up a fire dragon bomb for you on the spot." ”
Du Zeren nodded, and followed Yu Xuanjin to the Yu family's firewood room. Yu Xuanjin took away his family servants and lit a fire dragon bullet with his own hands. I only heard a bang, and the fire was full of flames, and the fire dragon bullet blew up the firewood room of the Yu family, and actually blew up a piece of the roof.
Seeing the effect of the fire dragon bullet, Du Zeren had some joy on his face and nodded.
Yu Xuanjin said: "Du Bingbei, no matter how good Li Zhi's armor is, no matter how many soldiers there are, can he still die under the bombardment of these forty fire dragon bullets?" As soon as Li Zhi dies and the Li family is wiped out, who will come to track us down? ”
Du Zeren smiled, patted Yu Xuanjin's shoulder, and said, "Okay! We did it, blow up this unbelievable Li Zhi! ”

On April 27, Suzhou Tiger Hill, the elites of the Restoration Society gathered.
Fushe is a large literary society in the south of the Yangtze River, organized by Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai from Taicang, Suzhou. Although the Fushe is called the Bunsha, it is actually an "opposition party" in Jiangnan. There are tens of thousands of scholars in the society, and the financial resources and manpower are amazing. The Restoration Society was even able to control the imperial examinations, directly determining whether or not scholars passed the imperial examinations.
Every time the resumption of society gatherings, they attacked the "ugly people", praised the "uprightness", and even influenced the government. The leaders of the Restoration Society, Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai, wrote a document to expel Wei Zhongxian and Zhou Bingqian, and ordered the disciples to write a document to expel the local manager Zhou Zhikui, whose power even exceeded that of ordinary local officials, and it can be said that he was the most well-dressed in Jiangnan.
At the end of last year, Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, raised 200,000 taels of silver to bribe confidential figures in the DPRK and China to help Zhou Yanru, who had returned to his hometown from illness, become the first assistant. At this time, it was the end of April of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, and under Zhang Pu's activities, the imperial court had issued an order to enable Zhou Yanru, but Zhou Yanru had not yet arrived in the capital to take office.
Zhang Pu, a leader of an opposition party, relied on bribes to support a cabinet chief assistant, which shows his influence and skill. Zhou Yanru's reinstatement as the first assistant was a big victory for the Restoration Society, and it also made the Restoration Society's influence in Jiangnan even stronger.
On this day, the leaders of the Restoration Society gathered in Tiger Hill, Suzhou, but not for the sake of ruling the government, but for the affairs of Tianjin.
At the edge of the sword pond in Tiger Hill, more than 30 leaders of the Restoration Society sat on the ground and made generous statements about the affairs of Tianjin.
Zhang Cai, one of the leaders of the Restoration Society, stood up and said: "Li thief extracted land and gave it to the gentry, which is something that has not happened in the past 50 years of the national dynasty. If the gentry want to pay for the field, then what kind of gentry is it? Will not all the small people who have thrown in are scattered at once? The dynasty ruled the world with scholars, but Li Thief did the opposite, imposing the poison of Tian Fu on the gentry, which was to ruin the gentry of the world! ”
Zhang Cai's words aroused a round of applause from the leaders of the Restoration Society.
Chen Zilong stood up and said: "If the people don't know how to respect the gentry and don't know how to respect the order, what is the difference between them and beasts. Such a scene is even more terrible than the loss of the country! We, who are scholars, will never allow such a change in the way of the world! ”
Chen Zilong's words aroused the applause of a group of readers.
Zhang Pu stood up and said, "Li Thief thinks that he has 20,000 elite soldiers in his hands, so he can impose Tian Fu on the gentry. But he didn't know that if he went against the corporal of the world, he would hit his head and bleed! ”
"Li Thief started out of industry. Today, in the name of the resumption of the society, I, Zhang Pu, call on the merchants of the world to stop all businesses related to Li Thief. If you don't sell a product to Li Thief, you are not allowed to buy a product from Li Thief! ”
"Within three months, I will make Li Thief bankrupt when I return to the company! Let Li Thief's soldiers have no pay to take, and let Li Zhi have no soldiers to use! ”
