Chapter 549: Five Righteous Warriors

Although the gate of the Jining Zhizhou Yamen is defensive, it can't withstand the impact of so many people, under Gu Wenyuan's last shout, the angry people outside finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed directly towards the gate.

The door supported by a large wooden stake simply could not last too long, and the punches and kicks of the cadres were carried out by others, and some people climbed over the wall directly on their shoulders.

What's more, the momentum of those people outside is too big, even if they count the guards of the horse tax supervisor, there are only fifty or sixty people, and they can resist there, and they will shoot at the people who turn over from the wall and then run away, and the brocade guards and tax guards standing in the main hall were originally intended to be the second wave of resistance to the mob, but seeing that those officials had no resistance at all, the mob had already rushed over with great momentum.

I was scolding in my heart, but seeing that many of those mobs were moving the wooden stakes at the top door, and some of them were also holding wooden sticks and firewood knives and axes in their hands, they all knew that it was not good, and they still cared about what horse tax inspectors, and shook the weapons in their hands with a false shot.

Then he turned around and ran, I don't know when, the Lord Zhizhou of Jining has disappeared without a trace, and the Ma tax inspector, who has not reacted, has always been in a state of shock, not as fast as the reaction of these people around him, and when he was hesitating, the people outside had already rushed in.

Seeing that the tax supervisor Ma was in the hall, it was suddenly an enemy to see each other, that Gu Wenyuan was holding a firewood knife in his hand, gritting his teeth and rushing forward, the tax supervisor Ma was already frightened, at this time he finally relieved himself, tremblingly raised his hand and pointed at Gu Wenyuan and said:

"You dare to kill the messenger of the Son of Heaven, this is to destroy the Nine ......"

"It's all deceived by traitors like you, and the Holy One will tolerate you there."

Gu Wenyuan was still talking there, someone around him had already knocked down the horse tax supervisor with a knife, and then dozens of people just wanted to go up, and the sticks, knives and axes in their hands were cut down indiscriminately, and the horse tax supervisor was directly chopped up.

The officials of the Zhizhou Yamen are all locals, although they are running behind, shouting a few words and dodging, some of the officials directly take off the clothes of the officials, and they also chase after them, looking at what valuable things are in the Zhizhou Yamen, and make some cheap money there.

More than a dozen of the entourage of the horse tax supervisor were not familiar with the path of the Zhizhou Yamen at all, and they were soon caught up by the people, although they were strong in martial arts, and they could kill a few, but they were invincible with two fists and four hands, and they were overwhelmed by the red-eyed people after resisting a few times, and they were directly turned into pieces.

The Zhizhou Lord of Jining is proficient in the path, under the escort of a few cronies, he drilled out along the dog hole behind, there were few people, and these people were all changed into civilian clothes, they were easily unrecognizable, and after climbing out, the Zhizhou group ran directly to the river yamen.

There are not many obstacles to the river yamen and the local area, so the people do not target them, but the whole city is in turmoil, the river yamen is also closed, and the Zhizhou party has shown their identity, this is to put it in, after entering, explain the situation, the governor of the river is also shocked, and now in this situation, there is only one way left to report to the Jingshi.

The governor of the river immediately sent his own soldiers and sturdy family members to escort the Zhizhou of Jining to the wharf of the canal, where several official boats were always waiting there, just for such an emergency.

The unrest in the city did not subside until the evening, and from the beginning to the end, there were no other government officials to maintain order, except for the tax collector's own men.

As usual, the mood of the people finally developed to a point of getting out of control, and many innocent shops and merchants were also affected and smashed, and some thieves and scoundrels who took advantage of the fire to rob took this opportunity to do many things that hurt nature and reason.

However, the Rong family and the members of the Gu family were all rescued from the prison car and the prison, and the Rong family and the Gu family have such a big family business, of course, they know what these things happened during the day mean, and not long after returning home, someone came to visit.

The actions made by the two families are very consistent, they all scatter the floating wealth and property of the family, and leave overnight with the fine soft and the family, and they actually can't take care of Jining's big business.

The letterhead of the Yamen of Shandong and the Yamen of the Political Secretary of the Governor of Shandong interceded with the Gu family arrived in Jining on the second day of the riots, but they saw a devastated city. The paperwork and letterhead of Jining Zhizhou were sent to Jinan and Jingshi with an expedited manner, and this matter was not the same as the tax supervisor being assassinated at home, which was the tax supervisor team of the imperial court when he was on business, the whole city rioted, killed the Qin Cha, and smashed the yamen, which was very different in nature.

Sure enough, after the governor of Shandong received the letterhead, the tea bowl in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and hurriedly convened the political envoy and the general of Shandong to discuss the matter, on the one hand, to report to the Beijing division, on the other hand, to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou and Dongchang Mansion to stationed in Jining, the bureaucrats up and down Shandong are lamenting, thinking that this Yanzhou Mansion is really full of disasters and difficulties, since the Jiajing period, there has been constant turmoil, from the White Lotus Sect to Chen Deaf, this time there is an anti-tax riot.

Qingzhou and Dongchang's 5,400 soldiers and horses have just been drawn, the Beijing division received the report documents, the Beijing division was shaken, the Jiajing Emperor and Lu Bing, Zhou Lin discussed, and the Dongchang sent a messenger with 300 miles of urgent letterhead to the Jinan Mansion to give a death order, the order must be to catch the murderer severely, and set a month of death deadline, if it can not be completed, the Beijing division will send the border town soldiers and horses to discuss.

And there is also a punishment, that is, if it can not be completed within the time limit, after the end of the Wendao Rebellion, there was a resolution in the center of the imperial court, Shandong Province was abolished, according to the north and south, divided into the north and the south, and then because of the opposition of the civil officials, it was not implemented, if the murderer could not be arrested this time, and it was dealt with strictly, then the province would be withdrawn.

As soon as this urgent document arrived in Jinan Mansion, this really frightened the Shandong officialdom, and the generals who were still enjoying happiness in Jinan decided to personally lead the team, and the political envoy personally went to them to handle the logistics and supplies, and sent an additional 3,000 soldiers and horses to support, the governor, the patrol, and the political envoy all sent a message, if this matter is delayed, even if Shandong withdraws from the province, before withdrawing the province, it must be to remove the person who delayed from his post and reduce his power.

The officials from top to bottom of Shandong were aware of this priority, and everyone made it convenient for the army to make a big trip, but it was rare to be quick, and seven days after the incident, the army had already arrived in Jining.

In fact, on the third day, the Jining Zhizhou Yamen began to operate again, and many people who participated in the troublemaking were worried afterwards, for fear that the government would track them down, and the atmosphere in the city was particularly delicate, and many people temporarily moved out of Jining City, but the Zhizhou Yamen had no intention of moving.

On the fifth day, the people who were originally anxious were relieved, the situation in the whole city slowly calmed down, the shops and workshops began to open, and many people who went to the countryside came back to work and make money, after all, the sky fell and they had to eat, but the situation in the market was no different from a few days ago, and those large families were still reluctant to start work, but some small merchants felt that since the tax inspector was gone, then business could also be done, and they took this opportunity to start work.

The officials and messengers of the Zhizhou Yamen are patrolling everywhere to maintain law and order, so it seems that the order of Jining City is the same as before, and people's hearts are gradually calming.

On the eighth day of the incident, many people who were outside the city and wanted to enter the city suddenly found that Jining City was closed and all the city gates were closed.

Some people wanted to ask what was going on, but they were answered by the cold eyes of the officers and soldiers, and the weapons that glowed with cold light in their hands.

Under the leadership of the officials of the Zhizhou Yamen, the soldiers arrested people from house to house, and the kind of public resentment boiling over the tax supervisor of Ma had been vented out, and now they could not be gathered, not to mention that the other party was a heavily armed army, and now many people know what the officials are walking the streets and alleys for in the past few days.

The way to identify the troublemakers was very simple, the memories of the officials and the confessions after the torture, and within one day, six or seven hundred people were arrested in the entire Jining City.

For a while, the whole city of Jining was in mourning, and the crying and shouting even exceeded that of eight days ago, but there was no courage to make a fuss at all, there was that scoundrel who wanted to incite the matter to make a big fuss, what to shout, the eunuchs should die, and the scourge of Jining, those guards and soldiers were not merciful at all, and they directly slashed with swords and guns, and killed things.

Although so many people have been arrested, most of them have no personal and material evidence, at most they are extorting some money, but in the end, people have to take responsibility, and a few people are seen by many people, and they are indeed the ones who take the lead, so people are the ones who take responsibility, there are five:

"Yan Wu, who advocated saving people, Zhou Chang, who knocked on the plate and convened the people, Zhang Kai, the child who read out the petition documents, Shen Hong, who showed talent, and Gu Wenyuan, who attacked the Zhizhou Yamen."

These five people are quite stylish, and they all took the initiative to surrender in the Yamen, saying that they were willing to bear it with all their might, and it had nothing to do with others, and the governors of Jining and officials at all levels were also unwilling to involve the matter too widely, and their families were not inextricably linked in the local area.

These five people were beheaded at the entrance of the street a month later, and the people of Jining felt justice, collected their bodies, and buried them on the west bank of the canal.
