Chapter 185: Anju Rebellion (I)
The sunset hung over the city of Anzhou, and the sandstorm that had been blowing for a day made the whole city look shrouded in dust. Even the fiercest midday sun can't penetrate the heavy dust, let alone the sunset. The dim light makes the sky look cloudy, and the dullness makes people breathe with a heavy breath.
In the dilapidated yamen of the Anzhou Branch of the Prosecutor's Office, two guards were still standing guard. They have changed a lot from their lazy appearance before, and under Qin Fei's nose, no one dares to slack off. The guards standing opposite each other looked at each other's noses, and suddenly, the guards at the east saw that the guards at the west were pouting at him, and then blinking behind him.
The Dongshou guards subconsciously looked back, and were suddenly startled, many men in black shirts, silently walked towards the Anzhou branch office, they tore open a banner, on which was written, "The procuratorate is unscrupulous, persecuted and prosperous", and "Immediately release the shopkeeper Kong...... Banners like these fill the streets. And their steps, slow and firm, like a black wave, covering the entire street, walked through the governor's palace, walked through the government, their eyes were resolute, and there was only one direction - the Anzhou branch of the Prosecutor's Office.
"Closed...... Go and tell the Governor! "The guards were shocked and came to storm the Anzhou branch office, which was something that had never happened before.
"Do you want to light fireworks and inform the Wolf Tooth troops......" The teeth of the Xishou guard were already trembling.
"Don't be stupid, let the town governor decide, close the door, quickly!"
The dilapidated branch gate closed quickly, and the frightened guards found tables and chairs from the gatehouse, blocked the gate firmly, and then put a few large benches behind the wall, revealing their upper bodies from the wall, holding bows and arrows, and vigilantly watching the gangsters who had surrounded the Anzhou branch office.
Qin Fei, who got the message, rushed to the front yard, and as soon as he jumped on the wall, a burst of stones and bricks flew up. Qin Fei dodged elegantly, but at this moment, Qin Fei had already seen it very clearly, at least thousands of Xinglong gangsters blocked the entire Anzhou branch before and after. The oldest of these thugs looked to be in their forties and fifties, and the youngest was only fourteen or fifteen years old. They chanted the slogan of releasing Kong Zhang, and the crowd was excited, and it was obvious that they were all carrying weapons.
Qin Fei was about to order his subordinates to release fireworks and summon the wolf tooth troops to disperse, when suddenly his eyes turned and he saw the officers and soldiers of the brigade from a distance, running towards this side quickly.
They were all officers and soldiers of the garrison, and in the middle of the ranks was a stretcher, on which lay a young soldier, scarred and almost immobile, and several strips of cloth held him to the stretcher, with an angry look on his face.
"Zhou Liyuan!" Qin Fei shouted: "What are the people from the garrison here doing to make a fuss? ”
Zhou Liyuan jumped onto the wall, looked carefully for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Town Governor, I feel that something is wrong. ”
"Of course it's wrong, or I'd ask you what you're doing." Qin Fei said angrily.
Zhou Liyuan was not angry, not because Qin Fei was his boss, but because he knew that after Qin Fei entered the Prosecutor's Hall, his official rank rose too quickly, and he was not as clear about many of the rules in the court as he was in the Department of Teaching and Learning.
"Lord Governor, this must have been premeditated, and I believe you should have seen it." Zhou Liyuan said in a low voice: "The question is, whether they dare to do it or not. The officers and soldiers of the garrison and the gangsters of He Xinglong, thousands of people stormed the yamen of the Anzhou branch office, and this place will definitely become a ruin. When the time comes, the casualties will be difficult to control, and the matter will be big, even if it is the governor of Anton, it will be unlucky......"
Qin Fei's eyes lit up, and he was hit by Zhou Liyuan's words, and immediately said coldly: "You mean, they plan to use the group incident accountability system to deal with me?" ”
"Hmm!"
Qin Fei was silent, any country, any imperial court, the most taboo thing is to have a group incident. Many small things often turn into uncontrollable big things. In the former Wei Dynasty, a certain official said on a whim that there were too many post guards raised by the imperial court, and it was better to cut the hundreds of thousands of post guards in half to reduce expenses. As a result, the post guards took the lead in making trouble, and then they pulled the flag and rebelled, attacked the city, and defeated several prefectures and counties in one go, forcing the Wei army to put out fires everywhere.
Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, the imperial court set up an accountability system. In any place, if any official provokes a mass incident, the local chief executive has the power to immediately dismiss him from his post and detain him pending trial. If the offender dares to resist, it is tantamount to treason.
Qin Fei was on the cusp of this limelight, looking at the quiet yamen on the same street, Qin Fei sneered, maybe at this moment, they were drafting documents together, preparing to publicize Anzhou, and they wanted to take themselves down. As for those articles, Qin Fei had already memorized them: "On a certain day in a certain month, Qin Fei, the town governor of the Prosecutor's Office, mishandled things, which aroused public anger and caused a mutiny. Governor Andong, Anju Governor and other officials attached great importance to it, responded quickly, and dealt with it appropriately...... At present, the mood of the military and civilians in Anzhou is stable! ”
If he is soft and falls into the hands of that group of people, he will have no chance to go to the Eastern Capital at all, and he will die in their hands.
"A group of Anzhou land snakes!" Qin Fei said lightly: "I'll fight with you group of ground snakes." ”
As for the officers and soldiers of those garrisons, Qin Fei didn't have the idea to go to their commander at all.
The non-commissioned officers mutinied, and it was impossible for the officers not to know about it, as in the current situation, they must have received the support of the officers, and some people even secretly made a package ticket: You can rest assured to make trouble, the law does not blame the public, and everyone is fine.
If Qin Fei really went to the garrison, those officials would also say with official accents and tears in their eyes: "The army mutiny is the most terrible, those Qiu Ba are all dirt buns, if they don't listen to reason, they will know that they will fight and kill, and we have no way to be officers." Qin Zhen Governor ...... I can't help you......"
"Don't want the yamen, let them smash it!" Qin Fei instructed: "Zhou Liyuan, take the guards and escort the princess to Li Hunu's wolf tooth military camp." Let him close the barracks and let no one enter. If there is an intruder, shoot and kill! ”
"What about you, the Governor?"
Qin Fei sighed: "Of course I have to take Kong Zhang and talk to those officials and masters." Although I know that they are discussing how to get rid of our group of thorns in the side, the superficial article has to be done. In the future, when the court settles accounts, I always have to clean myself up first. ”
While the two were talking, the street was full of cries, and hundreds of people carried the coffins and rushed towards the branch office of the prosecutor's office.
Qin Fei was dumbfounded: "It's not so serious, is it?" ”
