The square of the Great Hall of the Four Peoples.

"Stop him, don't let him go, don't let this traitor of workers escape!"

"Catch this traitor!"

……

In the chaotic roar, the workers' representative Yan Ping ran in confusion and at the same time covered his face with his clothes, but to no avail, many workers had already recognized him and surrounded him from all sides. After all, the representatives of the four people have been in the southern capital for five years, and there has even been a point where the business invites them to advertise on the platform, and in the end, even the capital of Wang Fuzhi could not bear to propose a meeting and forbade it, to say that these two hundred and ninety-nine representatives are still easily recognizable in this city. He ran wildly to dodge while cursing the Jinyi guard who was guarding him, this irresponsible guy had slipped away under the pretext of diarrhea, but this was also inevitable, after all, he had become a member of the Datong Party......

"Where to run!"

Suddenly, there was a roar.

A figure pounced on him, knocking him to the hard concrete floor.

Immediately afterward, more figures rushed over and held him down.

"What are you going to do, I am the representative of the four people, you are a crime, patrol police, patrol police, help!"

Yan Ping screamed.

Although he was born as a dock worker, after five years of comfortable life, his combat effectiveness regressed very seriously, and he was directly powerless to resist in the siege of the surrounding workers.

Then he was picked up by a group of workers.

"You're sinning!"

He shouted inwardly.

"It's natural to repay debts, we don't want to kill you when we ask you for an account, do you want to repay debts and commit crimes, look at what this is, a guarantee signed by yourself and fingerprinted. As a representative of the working class, the workers elected you to speak for the workers and uphold justice, and you wrote your own pledge that if you voted in favor of the land law of the Datong Party, you would compensate the workers of the whole country with one million yuan. The money is in the custody of Her Majesty the Empress and is used for the pension fund of the workers of the whole country, and now that you have betrayed the working class by breaking the guarantee, every worker has the right to ask for this compensation. ”

A worker who grabbed him said, holding a letter of guarantee.

"Yes, lose money!"

"You wrote the guarantee yourself!"

……

Shouts rang out all around.

At this time, a patrolman walked in and blew his whistle in a troubled manner, and the workers immediately separated to make way for him, and Yan Ping immediately struggled to pounce on him as if he had seen a savior. However, the latter looked at him with a baton, then at the guarantee with a serious face, and then at him......

"You are an economic dispute, it is not under the control of our police, you should go to Ying Tianfu to complain, but you are not allowed to beat people, it is illegal to beat people!"

The patrol officer said.

As he spoke, he returned the guarantee to the worker.

"And what are they like that?"

Yan Ping said in amazement.

"Didn't I say it, you are an economic dispute, you owe them money, and they come to you for debts, which is reasonable and legal, and there is no problem of breaking the law and committing crimes. Of course, they can't beat you, it's a crime to beat you, but they can take you to Yingtianfu, which is okay, after all, your dispute must be resolved. However, since it has been written in the letter of guarantee that the indemnity will be entrusted to Her Majesty, it is best to coordinate with Her Majesty the Empress first to see if you can talk calmly. After all, it's an economic dispute, there's no need to make too much trouble, coordinate and discuss first, and then go to Ying Tianfu if the discussion is inappropriate, and since they didn't beat you, then it's none of our patrol police's business. ”

The patrol officer said.

After saying that, he walked away with his baton.

"Don't hit anyone!"

He also looked back and emphasized it.

Yan Ping was stupid, he never thought that before he entered the Great Hall of the Four Peoples to vote, in order to get out smoothly, he casually wrote a guarantee to fool the workers, which would cause such a consequence, which means that the million will be compensated. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who do not repay more than 50 yuan in debt will have ten boards a month, and ten boards will be added for a month, until the sixty boards are capped, but the principal and interest must still be recovered. One million yuan, I went bankrupt, even if I put all the land and money I just collected, I can't afford to lose one million! But the problem is that the guarantee was indeed written by him, and he also pressed his fingerprint, and even a bunch of witnesses also signed and pressed their fingerprints, which is really impossible to deny in black and white.

This......

"I am the representative of the Four Peoples, and I have immunity!"

He suddenly shouted.

"Immunity doesn't mean that you can owe debts and not pay them back, this is an economic dispute, have you heard it, let's have an economic dispute, and besides, your immunity is only a few months left, then we will go to Yingtianfu to sue you in a few months, I'm afraid you have to be prepared to suffer from the sixty boards!"

A worker said with a smile.

"Yes!"

"Take him to Her Majesty first!"

……

In the chaotic shouts, these workers lifted Yan Ping, who was constantly struggling, and at this time, the brocade guard who was in charge of protecting him appeared with a gloating smile, this guy's diarrhea problem did not seem to be serious. Yan Ping hurriedly called for help from him, but after the guy asked about the situation, he immediately said that it was not within his scope of responsibility for this kind of economic dispute, and as long as the workers did not endanger Yan Ping's safety, then he had no right to interfere in this matter. He is to protect the personal safety of the representatives of the four peoples, and it is not his responsibility for the representatives of the four people to pay their debts, but since the workers want to take him to Her Majesty the Empress to coordinate and settle the matter, then as a Jinyi guard, he has the obligation to lead the way for these people, these people can continue to carry Yan Ping, and he will be responsible for reporting to the Jinyi Guard.

Then Yan Ping was carried above his head by the workers, as if carrying an offering to the palace.

And it's not just Yan Ping.

Forced by the situation before, of course, the main reason is that I didn't expect this to happen, after all, these representatives of the four peoples have been highly respected in Nandu over the years, they have been used to being respected, and they never thought that someone would give them such a trick. Before going to the Great Hall of the Four Peoples to vote, a total of 55 peasant and workers' deputies signed the pledge, and as for the members of the Peasants' and Workers' Party, no one asked them to sign it, but all of them were representatives of the Datong Party or the neutral faction. Twenty-five of these deputies who signed the guarantee violated the guarantee and voted in favor of the land law proposed by Wang Fuzhi, so they are now unlucky, and the peasants and workers who hold the guarantee unceremoniously seize them and demand compensation according to the guarantee. And the police's characterization of this kind of thing is an economic dispute, as long as they don't beat people, they don't care......

Ying Tianfu Yin is Yan Yingyuan.

He has been in Yingtian all these years, from the magistrate to the governor of the Yin, and he belongs to the neutral faction in this struggle.

But the low-level officials, especially the police, must be fanatical believers in protecting the country, so there is no need to say what they will do in this matter. The Jinyi Guard, who protected these deputies, acted as a leading party, allowing the peasants and workers to take them to the palace in every way......

The Empress is the administrator of the indemnity.

After all, this kind of compensation is compensation for all peasants and workers, and there must be a manager, and the empress is the best choice, and the empress can rest assured that there is no fear of being coveted. More importantly, the empress had her own charity system, which could make better use of the indemnity and give it to the empress, who would then be responsible for using the indemnity as a fund to provide relief to the peasants and workers.

So I have to find the empress to administer justice.

Then the 25 teams of workers and peasants, with 25 delegates, roamed the streets and alleys of Nanjing through the Chengtianmen, and they quickly caused a sensation in the city. After all, this kind of thing is still very attractive, and everyone knows that the land law that has just been voted on is a blatant provocation to the protector, and it would be strange if the protector did not take some revenge. And these representatives of the four people who dare to defy the wind are undoubtedly the first to bear the brunt, although it is now the workers and peasants who do it, but there is obviously the shadow of the protector behind them, otherwise those Jinyi guards who protect them are not so easy to talk to.

Soon the whole city of Nandu was a sensation.

Countless people poured into the streets to follow the procession, while the other representatives of the four people who voted for the new land law hid in fear.

They were scared too.

Although they escaped this catastrophe, who knows if the Lord Protector has any other tricks to clean them up.

Soon the first team arrived at Chengtianmen, and then led the Jinyi guards to quickly run in to report, and then the following teams arrived one after another, and those Jinyi guards who led the way all went in to report. At the same time, several cabinet ministers, Wang Fuzhi and several core members of the Datong Party also rushed here, but they didn't do anything about it, after all, these people are just pawns to them when they run out. And Yang Qing suffered such a humiliating failure, he must vent it, if he is asked to clean up these representatives, it can be regarded as giving him a vent, so as to avoid him from making trouble with others again. Besides, they can't manage it, how can they manage economic disputes? Those workers and peasants did not beat anyone or kill anyone, but they brought these representatives to the empress to settle the matter, not that they must have to pay for it, but they came to negotiate and negotiate under the auspices of the empress in order to settle it peacefully.

It's not a big deal!

"The Protector is getting more and more naïve!"

Zhang Guowei said.

Obviously, in his opinion, Yang Qing has nowhere to vent his anger, and he just finds a few people who can't affect the overall situation, this kind of behavior is simply naïve.

"But what if you really tell Ying Tianfu?"

Plug Yinxi asked Shi Kefa.

This question has to be understood.

Shi Kefa is the Dali Siqing, the de facto supreme judge, although he belongs to the neutral faction, but in the matter of the Gongtian Law, he is resolutely not allowed to sit idly by and watch Yang Qing mess around, which is the minimum discipline of a Confucian disciple. So in this matter, he is allied with the defenders of the gentry like Du Yinxi, in fact, not only his neutral faction, but also Yang Qing's descendants are neutral. For example, Song Quan, and even Ma Shiying and Li Yutian, who were known for their flattery, all remained neutral, although they all knew very well that maintaining neutrality meant supporting the gentry group, but they still showed the bottom line of a Confucian disciple in the Gongtian Law.

Confucius has a spirit in the sky!

Of course, they will not oppose Yang Qing, they don't have that guts, and besides, these people are not big landlords, they have completely become capitalists in essence.

In short, Yang Qing's ally is Li Laiheng.

Even if Li Zicheng's subordinates were originally and now moved to Nandu, Gao Yigong is also neutral in this matter, although they have no real power, they still hold some seemingly respectful, but in fact useless positions, such as Gao Yigong is currently the Yingtian Patrol Envoy. Previously, Li Laiheng invited them to join the Peasants' and Workers' Party, but all of them chose to refuse, and in the end, only his old partner Hao Shaoqi gave face to join.

At the end of the day, these people have changed.

Nor were they the rebels of the past, but became the new gentry capitalists.

Only Lee Rae-hyung has not changed.

The civil and military and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, from the old landed gentry to the new capitalists, and even the original rebels, and the former pirates, almost all of them were either opposed, nominally neutral, and in substance, or indifferently and did not intervene. It is said that even the generals who were fighting in the south wrote to persuade the Protector of the Kingdom to learn from Jia Yidao, in short, Yang Qing and Li Laiheng can be described as enemies of the Manchu Dynasty at present, and only the low-level peasants and workers supported them.

None of the upper echelons, regardless of their previous origins, really supported it.

"This case is not easy to judge."

Shi Kefa said.

"The key is whether the guarantee they signed has legal effect, if they are forced to sign it, it is illegal, and neither Tianfu nor Dali Temple will support compensation. But if they are not coerced, or if they can't produce evidence that they were coerced, then they have to pay according to the law. But it was very difficult, because they were surrounded by workers and peasants at that time, and we couldn't find out who they were at the scene, and we could prove that they were coerced witnesses, but the workers and peasants could find countless witnesses to prove that they were not coerced. ”

He continued.

"In other words, it is very likely that they will be awarded the money on the bond."

Plug Yinxi said.

"If you pay for it, you can pay it, and they can't afford to pay it, it's nothing more than taking sixty boards, and then copying their family property and not discounting it, how can they have any family property. When they return, send a man and tell them not to be afraid, for behind them are the righteous men of the world. ”

Zhang Guowei said.

Shi Kefa glanced at him meaningfully.

This means that even if Yang Qing asks these people to raid their homes and make up for them, these landlords and capitalists will make up for them after copying, in the final analysis, as long as it is money, it will be easy to solve. It is impossible for a person to pay 1 million, but the law of the Ming Dynasty does not mean that it is necessary to die, how the law should sentence and how to sentence, and the board should be nothing more than a light point to buy the execution, and there is really no money to pay for it is nothing more than confiscating the family property, and it is impossible to confiscate their family members as slaves because of this. After all their property is copied, they can still have a few dollars, and the landlords and capitalists will compensate them in a few days, but in the end it will not cost a few more.

Let Yang Qing vent now!

Anyway, it's not the gentry who hit the board!

The value of these representatives of the four peoples has basically been squeezed dry, and even if they are kind if they don't unload the mill and kill the donkey, who will really care about them.
