No wonder this head catcher can be paralyzed by fright, the scene of this red refining workshop at this time is enough to be comparable to a horror movie, the whole shop, a big family of more than 30 people hanging on the beams like sandbags, up to the old woman in her seventies, down to the children of several years old.

Originally, I thought it was to avoid the government's urging to attract money and closed the door, but I never imagined that this Wang family would end itself with such a tragic appearance, and what is even more embarrassing is that the broken red coral, the precious tortoiseshell, and a lot of expensive southern goods were thrown to the ground, which formed a sharp contrast with these desperate Wang family members who were forced to die, and the grotesque feeling made people feel cold.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Pu himself was confused, dizzy and watched for a few seconds, and the next moment, he suddenly seemed to be crazy, he didn't even want to drive, and he rushed to the government after grabbing the horse.

Is Zhang Pu really evil?

Not really. Unlike those scholars who are high up and rely on their family backgrounds to rise to the top after all, Zhang Pu has been a scholar who has no ambition for most of his life, and the experience of forming the Fushe has tempered him, and he is more decisive than those Confucian children who are panicked.

After a few minutes, before the ink dried, Zhang Pu took a few officials and ordered them to post the official document to the four gates of Wenzhou City.

These days, the depression of a storm has been judged in the sky above Wenzhou, seeing that the government issued a notice, a large number of merchants hurriedly crowded over, and after a while, suddenly a terrible cry suddenly sounded in the crowd.

"Lord Qingtian, !!"

Donkey hair comes from donkeys! Zhang Pu also understands this truth, if the merchant dies, what kind of flower can he, the governor of the port, sing? Seeing the tragic situation of the Wang family, Zhang Pu hurriedly ordered to write off all the arrears owed by merchants in Wenzhou City to the government ship to attract money, and after posting the notice, he directly ordered people to burn the account books that had been made with great difficulty these days on the street.

A stream of flames spewed black smoke, burning at the main entrance of the cross street, the status of merchants in this era is indeed the bottom, such a little favor and small favor, the merchants who rushed over from the four gates came one after another to thank him and kowtowed, but sitting at the door of the yamen, listening to the sound of the Qingtian lord, Zhang Pu couldn't laugh, instead, strands of cold sweat continued to flow down from his forehead.

Wenzhou Mansion can be a little more stable for the time being, but on the other side of the day, it should be on fire!

…………

Zhang Pu's rescue strategy is still a little late, and the effect is quite limited, after burning the account books, the officials of the yamen searched around the city again, just like the financial crisis in later generations, because of the bankruptcy and suicide of the Jiangnan giant businessmen have more than a dozen names and surnames, more than a dozen super families have died, as for the family bankruptcy, the shopkeeper committed suicide and closed down, there are hundreds of commercial houses that left Wenzhou City, and the Jiangnan industry and commerce, which had shrunk because of the Northern Ming Dynasty, died as much as one-third.

If this continues, the once brilliant germ of Jiangnan capitalism will really be completely destroyed.

And the fight that really affects the old and new classes has just begun.

On October 11, when people in later generations were still immersed in the post-holiday syndrome of the long holiday, the sound of rapid horses' hooves had suddenly sounded outside Wenzhou.

Just like in the Wanli Apocalypse, the Ti rider in the brocade cloak roared in the iron leaf armor, and suddenly broke into the Wenzhou Governor's Yamen, two rows of brocade guards lined up on both wings, and should run out quickly to kneel on the ground Wenzhou Governor Zhang Pu, the chief administrator Tian Cheng arrogantly opened the golden holy decree and read it out loud.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said! Zhang Pu, the governor of Wenzhou, was ordered to open the maritime affairs by the governor, but he acted perversely, stubbornly and self-servingly, and was corrupt, so that the maritime affairs were corrupted, and the business travelers were not able to make a living. Chin!"

"Master Zhang, take the order!"

said so, but before Zhang Pu could say anything, several brocade guards were already carrying the collar of his official uniform and dragging it outward.

With arrogance and pride, dragging the holy decree, Tian Cheng and the brocade guards walked towards the yamen in a domineering manner, but as soon as they arrived at the gate of Wenzhou Mansion, they couldn't help but stop, the brocade guards in front of them pressed their hands on the knife in horror and vigilance, and the eunuch Tian Cheng's face couldn't help but show a wave of panic, shouting loudly in horror.

"If you Diao people want to rebel, get out of the way, otherwise our family will sentence you to the crime of rebellion and punish your nine clans!"

I don't know when, the business and travel activities in Wenzhou City, the people and traders surrounded the black pressure, and blocked the yamen, and the number of people is still surging, more and more.

Listening to Tian Cheng's scolding, the Wenzhou businessmen in the front row did show a look of fear, horror, and hesitation, however, I don't know who saw Zhang Pu who was being carried in the back, but the anger could no longer be suppressed, I don't know who had a trembling voice, but he was the first to roar.

"Let go of Lord Zhang'!!"

A sound was enough to be a fuse, full of anger, and the next moment rained stones, debris, and messy things all over the place, and while throwing things, the anger of these merchants with heavy losses broke out one after another, roaring like madmen.

"If it weren't for the agreement signed by the dog officials of the imperial court and Beiming, the commercial tax would be thirty percent! How could Lao Tzu lose it! ”

"The goods of his East India Company were robbed, and the imperial court to the north of them immediately sent gunboats to come out, and Lao Tzu's goods were detained, where is our imperial court? Now you still want to catch Master Zhang! No promise!"

"Kill these bastard lackeys!"

In the face of the overwhelming stones and roars, even the powerful Jinyi Wei was frightened, the one in front covered his head and let go of the knife, and the one behind ran back screaming, this cowardly scene only fueled these already out of control crowd, suddenly, he stretched out a hand in the nearest crowd, and grabbed the Jinyi guard and fell into the crowd, and then, the overwhelming fist crackled and smashed down, and in an instant, the screams and wails came out like killing pigs.

Fury is a terrible beast, the crowd that saw the blood was like a school of sharks, and could no longer control it, the frightened Jinyi Wei finally howled wolf and pulled out the knife, and slashed at the crowd with a head and face, the knife wound splattered blood, but it did not intimidate the rioting people, I don't know how many hands grabbed the knife, hugged the arm and thigh of the Jinyi guard who wielded the knife, and pressed them to the ground alive, holding bricks, stones and even scales or something howling and hitting it in the face, in the sound of poof, blood stained the noble python robe.

Bang dang~

The iron-clad door of the yamen was slammed shut, and the brocade guards who were locked outside slapped the door panel in fear, but it didn't take long for it to be replaced by the mob of Wenzhou people's fists and brick beatings.

Suddenly, the eunuch saw the sneer on Zhang Pu's face with handcuffs on his hands, and became crying in an instant, he pounced and hugged Zhang Pu's thigh.

"Zhang Xianggong, please save our family's life! Our family is also a high scholar, Wang Shangshu's order, please spare your life! ”

"Father-in-law, let go first!"

The old god was there, and Zhang Pu shook the iron chain on his wrist.

…………

For example, according to the plot in the TV series, the loyal minister who was wronged and arrested had no choice but to go out to persuade the people who disobeyed him to calm down, and then he was arrested by the traitor and entered the Beijing Division, beaten and tortured in various ways, and finally died unjustly, but it was a TV series.

First of all, Zhang Pu is not a loyal minister, he is a politician, the distant branch of the Hubu Shangshu Wang Cha, when the Red Forge committed suicide, he knew that a direct conflict with the princes of Lin in the east of the DPRK was inevitable! Zhang Pu naturally won't stand still! These Wenzhou businessmen in front of him were the ones he sent to agitate!

However, it is ironic that the Fushe was a staunch supporter of Donglin back then, and the two sides worked together to resist the eunuchs as a family, and in order to fight against Wei Zhongxian, a heroic Yangzhou Shimin riot broke out, but this time, it was the Donglin Fushe who advocated Cheng Zhu Lixue together and fought with each other, and Donglin, who was born as a big landlord, and the petty-bourgeois Fushe who was dependent on the feudal landlord bureaucracy still stood on the opposite side after all.

Got rid of the shackles, in Tian Cheng's hopeful eyes, Zhang Pu is Shi Shiran climbed the wall, but looking at the crowd that suddenly quieted down, Zhang Pu suddenly raised his fist full of anger.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Why did everyone lose so badly this year? It's not a bullshit agreement signed between the princes of the DPRK and the Chinese government and Mao Manzi, our southern merchants have to pay thirty percent of the silver to their northern merchants! Let us increase our capital, we can't sell those northern barbarians!"

"Everyone has suffered heavy losses, not only does the court not care, but also chases the big guy to ask for money from the boat, the official burns the account book, and the princes of the court will take the official and replace it with someone to continue to collect the people!"

"It's not a pity for this official to die! But this official can't watch the traitors in the court and the central government abuse the people for their own selfish interests! This official is willing to risk the death of the whole clan, and he also wants to go to Beijing to avenge the emperor's grievances for the people!"

One by one, in Tian Cheng's eyes stunned, Zhang Pu fluttered and flipped over the courtyard wall, and then, the rioting crowd outside let out a shocking cheer, and the dense footsteps rushed out, stunned for a few seconds, Tian Cheng's face was gloomy, and he slapped his forehead sadly.

"Woe to you, woe to you!"

The Donglin Restoration Society has worked closely together for more than half a century, but now, the biggest conflict between the two political factions is that with this huge economic crisis that affected the Nanming Metropolitan Empire, it suddenly erupted like a volcano!

It's been to Changchun, so tired......
