Chapter 1O 2: Suzhou Civil Riot (Asking for Votes, Asking for Collection)

October of the fourth year of the Apocalypse

Li Shi, the eunuch of Susong weaving, reported that Zhou Qiyuan, the former governor of Susong, had embezzled 100,000 taels of public money.

Taking this as a guide, Wei Zhongxian launched an all-out offensive against the Donglin Party.

In response to Zhou Qiyuan, Gonggong Wei directly arranged for Dongchang Fanzi to go out of Beijing to arrest people.

Wei Zhongxian learned the lesson of the Six Gentlemen's case and directly dispatched his loyal subordinates in Dongchang, intending to firmly control the direction of the case.

This is a major matter related to the uprooting of the Donglin Party, and Gonggong Wei really can't believe in Jinyiwei's ability to do things.

It's still the East Factory, and Grandpa Wei is more assured.

Plans are always not as fast as changes.

Things still changed unexpectedly.

Dongchang Fanzi, who was responsible for arresting Zhou Qiyuan, had an accident.

To be precise, it was part of the Dongchang Fanzi who was responsible for arresting Zhou Qiyuan that had an accident.

After Zhou Qiyuan was dismissed, he lived in his hometown of Zhangzhou, Fujian.

Dongchang Fanzi, who was responsible for arresting him, set off from the capital thousands of miles away.

The fans passed through Suzhou and repaired in Suzhou for two days.

Because of the report of Zhou Qiyuan, Li Shi, the Su Song weaving eunuch, was stationed in Suzhou, and Dongchang Fanzi left a few people in Suzhou to be responsible for sorting out Li Shi's reporting materials. The brigade still drove to Zhangzhou.

The boundary of Suzhou is not very friendly to the visitors of the imperial court.

You must know that Zhou Qiyuan has a friend named Zhou Shunchang, who lives in Suzhou.

Zhou Shunchang, a Jinshi in the forty-first year of Wanli, once served as the chief of the Ministry of Officials and the secretary of the Wenxuan Division. In the third year of the Apocalypse, when the Donglin Party resigned and left the capital, Zhou Shunchang resigned and returned to his hometown.

The Zhou family is a big family in Suzhou and a local hero.

Whenever there was a conflict of interest between the local government in Suzhou, Zhou Shunchang would come forward to negotiate a relationship for the local gentry.

Over the years, Zhou Shunchang has become a banner of the local gentry in Suzhou.

Because of his extensive travel, countless relations between the DPRK and China, and the support of the Donglin Party, successive local officials in Suzhou would give him some face.

After coming and going, Zhou Shunchang was on the ground in Suzhou, and he had the meaning of being a tiger in the mountains.

My territory, my way.

Because Zhou Shunchang and the eunuch party are different, and because he returned to his hometown because of the eunuch party, Zhou Shunchang hated the eunuch party.

When Jinyiwei arrested Wei Dazhong, he passed through Suzhou.

Zhou Shunchang once went to the boat and wanted to meet Wei Dazhong and talk about it.

Jin Yiwei didn't dare to offend him, a celebrity in Suzhou, so he gave him face and allowed them to meet.

But Zhou Shunchang and Wei Dazhong were on a plate for 3 days.

In the boundary of Suzhou, Zhou Shunchang is very bold.

He was neither afraid of Wei Dazhong's arrest of the crime, nor of eunuchs. Instead, he was bent on marrying his daughter to Wei Dazhong's grandson.

is going to be a family member, of course, the more you drink that little wine, the happier you are.

But Jin Yiwei can't stand it!

They are the tolerance of arresting, not the tolerance of escorting to office.

Even if it's the tolerance of the escort to take office, there must be a time limit, right?

It's been 3 days, and Jinyiwei can't help it.

When Jinyiwei had the courage to urge Wei Dazhong to hurry, Zhou Shunchang might have been drunk at that time.

Zhou Shunchang had a big temper, he pointed and poked at the urging Jinyiwei, and scolded the eunuch party endlessly, and also took the initiative to sign up and challenge Wei Zhongxian in the air.

"If you don't know that there are men in the world who are not afraid of death? Returning to the language of loyalty, I am the late official Zhou Shunchang also. ”

Look, this is Suzhou Haoshen Zhou Shunchang.

Such an arrogant returnee official is also very rare in the Donglin Party.

As a local gentry, the contradiction between Zhou Shunchang and Li Shi, the weaving eunuch of Susong, was even more acute.

Li Shi, as the tax supervisor of the imperial court, has irreconcilable contradictions with the local Haoqiang in Suzhou.

How could a local tycoon in Suzhou be willing to give away his wealth to others.

In terms of tax resistance, Suzhou has a long history and many traditions.

As far back as the 29th year of Wanli, there was a precedent of violent confrontation with the imperial court tax supervisor in Suzhou.

At that time, more than a dozen tax officials of the imperial court were killed, and the tax supervisor Sun Long fled in embarrassment, so as to save a small life.

Such a violent resistance to taxes finally allowed Suzhou to be pardoned by the imperial court.

Even Ge Cheng, who was the leader, was released after only 10 years.

From where, Ge Cheng has become the most famous hero in Suzhou. When it comes to him, the people of Suzhou only call General Ge and not his name.

Since then, the prestige of the court officials in Suzhou has been greatly reduced, and they can't stand up in the face of local tyrants, so they have to swallow their anger.

When tax supervisor Li Shi was released to Suzhou, he was still excited.

Isn't there heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below?

Compared with Hangzhou, Suzhou at this time is even richer.

There is a lot of money to come to Suzhou!

Suzhou turned out to be such a terrible place, Li Shi never expected it.

Not to mention money, as a tax supervisor, he has to be careful with his life.

The lesson of the blood of the predecessors of the tax supervisor made Li Shi really dare not be arrogant.

Because of the existence of Zhou Shunchang, the local heroes in Suzhou have become a rope.

Any plan that violates the local interests of Suzhou cannot be realized.

Li Shi was angry in Suzhou, scolded a lot, but didn't get much money.

Think about it, as the Su Song weaving eunuch who sits on the side of the rich Jia, Li Shi almost couldn't even get the money for the gift to Father-in-law Wei. How miserable has he been?

For this reason, Li Shi hated the local heroes in Suzhou, especially Zhou Shunchang, the representative of the local heroes.

God opens my eyes.

Li Shi learned from Dongchang Fanzi that Gonggong Wei was obviously preparing to uproot the Donglin Party this time.

Hehe, as long as there is no echo of the Donglin Party, Zhou Shunchang can still be so rampant.

It's finally going to change.

Li Shi was happy to prepare to deal with Zhou Shunchang.

Dongchang Fanzi, who stayed in Suzhou, sorted out the evidence of Zhou Qiyuan's crimes collected by Li Shi; On the other hand, he was helping Li Shi to find out about Zhou Shunchang's situation.

Li Shi was preparing to arrest Zhou Shunchang in advance. He really couldn't believe the Suzhou locals in the yamen.

However, Li Shi still underestimated Zhou Shunchang's influence in Suzhou.

Although he consciously did it secretively, the news still leaked.

The news of Dongchang's arrest of Zhou Qiyuan was leaked, and the news that Li Shi was preparing to arrest Zhou Shunchang was also leaked.

Suzhou is like a drop of cold water dripping into a hot oil pot, crackling and exploding.

I don't know if someone manipulated it, but hundreds of people marched on the streets, loudly avenging Zhou Shunchang along the way.

Subsequently, tens of thousands of people in Suzhou gathered to besiege the yamen everywhere and directly put pressure on the yamen.

In this situation, Dongchang Fanzi, who has never seen or experienced such a scene, dares to come forward to scold the people at the party?

They're really ......

Since Wei Zhongxian came to power, Dongchang Fanzi has been used to being domineering in the capital.

When going out of Beijing to do business, the localities are also sent from a high distance to the distance. Fanzi is really short to eat, and it is soft to get.

Fanzi, who stayed in Suzhou, knew that this was one of the richest places in the world, but he didn't get the expected benefits, and he was already irritable.

Seeing such a diao people, he didn't take them as representatives of the court in his eyes at all, and when he couldn't help it, he pulled out his knife.

Dongchang Fanzi also thought that they would show their identities and pull out their waist knives to suppress the Diao people in front of them.

Unexpectedly, Dongchang Fanzi showed the identity of Dongchang, and before the knife was fully pulled out, he was directly besieged by the bold Diao people.

During the riots, a Dongchang fan was directly beaten to death. The rest of them were beaten and fled in all directions.

Someone died, and things got bigger.

In broad daylight, gathering crowds to besiege the official yamen and killing the Dongchang Tiqi completely belonged to the category of the people's uprising.

Suzhou, great changes are coming.
