Chapter 798 Something Happened
After the brocade guard Xiaoqi finished speaking, Yang Zongjian knew what had happened. You don't have to think about this matter to know that Zhang Qingfang is manipulating, in order not to want the team to measure all the land in his home.
Yang Zongjian, this kind of scoundrel, has seen a lot of this kind of scoundrel in the past year, and he came to Zhang Qingfang unhurriedly and said: "Zhang Qingfang, do you know that our Qingzhang land is under the emperor's order?" Do you know that this has violated the Great Ming Law! ”
Zhang Qingfang is not a scholar, and he has no fame to protect his body, it stands to reason that he should kneel and kowtow when he sees an official like Yang Zongjian, but the Zhang family is too powerful in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Yang Zongjian, a petty official from the fifth grade, is not in Zhang Qingfang's eyes.
Zhang Qingfang looked Yang Zongjian up and down, and said contemptuously: "This Lord Yang, you don't know what the relationship between the old man is!" The old man's cousin is Zhang Yaofang, the waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, the old man's nephew is Zhang Dai, and the old man's niece is the imperial concubine of His Majesty the Emperor! ”
Yang Zongjian was accustomed to seeing this kind of local tyrant's face, and said with a sneer: "Hmph! It's a shame for someone like you to Master Zhang! Zhang Qingfang: Do you know what crime you have committed now? First, hinder the officials from clearing the land! Second, as a member of the five-grade senator, you have no merit to see that the official is not saluting! Third, just now I even wanted to bribe officials! You said that Master Zhang of Nanjing knew that your younger brother was like this, what could you say? ”
Yang Zongjian originally thought that he could scare Zhang Qingfang away by saying this, but who knew that Zhang Qingfang was not afraid of these at all. After listening to Yang Zongjian's words, Zhang Qingfang smiled and said, "Lord Yang, okay!" You can take the old man away and see how you explain to my cousin!" ”
Zhang Qingfang came to make trouble today, and immediately after finishing speaking, he called the tenants who came to him and began to push and shove the wardens and clerks of the work team.
Each working group was equipped with officials from the Jinyi Guard, as well as the county officials, and when they saw that these tenants were going to make trouble, they all stepped forward to stop it, and the small flag of the Jinyi Guard even pulled out the embroidered spring knife.
The two gangs became louder and louder here, and at last they did not know the hand that had made the first move, and the tenants began to attack the servants with their hoes and pickaxes. This situation has changed, that Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi is a native of Nanjing, and he is used to being domineering in Nanjing City, and it is the first time he has encountered someone who is not afraid of him. When the little flag saw that the tenants were the first to move, he hurriedly brandished an embroidered spring knife and cut down a tenant.
That Xiaoqi thought that he could deter others like this, but he was not a native of Suzhou, and the people here were really not interested in Jinyiwei. When the weavers in Suzhou made trouble, Jinyi Wei killed several thousands of households, what can you do with a small flag?
Today, these tenants have all got the money of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family sent someone to say that the Zhang family is in charge of the dead and wounded, and if anyone does not work hard when fighting, they will take back their land, so these tenants saw that their people were cut down, and they all rushed forward with red eyes.
Here I want to talk about the combat effectiveness of the Jiangnan people, the southerners are different from the northerners, the southerners are ashamed of private fights, but when they encounter the clan's snatching of water or fighting with foreign surnames, they are all afraid of death, which is much stronger than the northerners. From ancient times to the present, China has resisted foreign invasion in the southern provinces the most fiercely, such as the Mongol invasion of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Manchu invasion of the Central Plains, and the War of Resistance against Japan. (It's not that Xiaosheng is black, Xiaosheng is a Northeasterner, and he is usually used to the virtues of Northeast people, drinking and bragging, and hiding away when he really needs your help!) )
Chen Xuan was dumbfounded when he saw the two sides fighting, he didn't know what to do at this time, just when Chen Xuan was in a dilemma, an army came from the main road outside the town, it was the inspection department that Yang Zongjian went to find. The leader is a general judgment, he received Yang Zongjian's urgency, and hurriedly rushed with a hundred soldiers under his command, after all, the security here in Tongli Town is under his control, and it is not fun to really make trouble.
The general judge led the people to the ground, and when he saw the two groups of people in a ball, the general judge quickly ordered his men to go up and separate the crowd. With the order of the general judgment, the soldiers of the inspection department stepped forward with sticks in their hands and beat them indiscriminately, which drove the two groups away. After stopping, Chen Xuan rushed into the crowd and was dumbfounded, and the leader of the task force, Yang Zongjian, a senator from Wupin, was beaten to death.
Anyone who has experience in group fighting knows that you must not let people catch you and be honest. The officials who came with Yang Zongjian were all veterans, and while uniting in one place to resist the beatings of the tenants, they roamed around the periphery and never rushed into the crowd alone. But this left Lord Yang out.
Yang Zongjian is a civil official, and he has participated in group fights in the court, but he really has no experience in this kind of civil brawl. And Yang Zongjian was in the crowd at the beginning, and he was beaten by the tenants at the beginning, and he didn't know who pushed him down after being dizzy, but there were more than 200 people in this place, and someone noticed that there was a living person under his feet, so Yang Dasheng was trampled to death.
Chen Xuan saw that the adults from the province had killed the Zhang family, which was not easy to do. Chen Xuan was frightened and hurriedly grabbed the general judgment of the inspection department and asked him what to do!
The general verdict originally thought it was just an ordinary public security case, but when I came to see that a big official had died, I regretted it in my heart, why did I have to get involved in this matter.
The general judge hurriedly said: "Lord Chen, we have received a report from someone, there is a fight here, and now that the dead person is dead, you can watch it!" ”
Chen Xuan secretly scolded in his heart, you are clean, but now that the person is dead, it is better to report it to the county quickly.
At this time, Chen Xuan didn't care about having relatives with Zhang Qingfang's family, and ordered the general judgment of the inspection department: "Lord Tongju, please watch everyone, and never let anyone go!" After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he turned his head and ordered his subordinates to hurry up to the county to report the county order, this time there was really a big incident!
Wujiang County Ling Wang Zhang has received good news in the past few days, the work team has carried out normal work in Tongli Town, and the landlords of all households have cooperated with Qingzhang and so on. Seeing this, Wang Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, in addition to being Ma Mingyuan's disciple, he was also Wang Yunchang's nephew, if this relationship was not a major event, it would be ironclad. Now Wang Zhang has been working here in Wujiang for two years, and when he finishes the work of clearing the acres of fields, he can ask the teacher to help him find a good errand.
Wang Zhang was dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, how did he know that he had received a report from Tongli Town. It was the deputy mayor of Tongli Town who came to report the news, and after seeing Wang Zhang, he hurriedly told him what had happened, what should the county magistrate do?
Wang Zhang heard it like five thunderbolts, this is okay, he killed the official of the court in broad daylight, and he was still an official who went to Qingzhang Tianmu, isn't this giving himself eye medicine?
Wang Zhang did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly ordered someone to take the third class of the county middle school to Tongli Town to take all the people involved in the case into custody. He thought about it for a long time and went to Suzhou Mansion in a sedan chair, so it was better to discuss such a big matter with the prefect quickly.
Suzhou is more than 30 miles away from Wujiang, Wang Zhang hurried and hurried to finally close the city gate and advance to Suzhou City. The Suzhou government office is on the front street of the house, and at this time the sky will be dark, and the government office has been closed. However, the relationship between the prefect Pan Zide and Wang Zhang's teacher was not ordinary, and Wang Zhang still opened the door of the mansion.
Although Pan Zide and Wang Zhang are superiors and subordinates, after all, Wang Zhang's teacher is Ma Mingyuan, and Pan Zide is the same year as Chongzhen's ten-year jinshi, so Pan Zide still pretended to be enthusiastic to receive Wang Zhang.
"Bingzhong, why do you have time to come to me so late? Is there no place to live in the city if you can't get out of the city? Pan Zide didn't know about Wu Jiang yet, and he was still joking with Wang Zhang.
Wang Zhang is young and handsome, he is still a master of Jinshi, and he is naturally a frequent visitor to the brothels in Suzhou City, but today Wang Zhang is not in the mood to fart with the prefect, but said straight to the point: "My lord, something is wrong, in the afternoon, the work team had a conflict with Zhang Qingfang when they were in Tongli Town. Lord Yang let people beat him to death! ”
Pan Zide stood up in fright when he heard this, and asked in a loud voice, "What?" Yang Zongjian was beaten to death? Who's doing it? How did it happen? ”
Wang Zhang hurriedly explained the matter in detail, and then asked, "My lord, what do you say?" I think it's better to hurry up and spread the political envoy Zhang! ”
Wang Zhang is a young man, so he naturally doesn't know the sinister nature of officialdom, and the first thing he thought of after knowing the news was to report to his superiors. But Pan Zide is an old fritter, and the first thing he thinks about is how to protect himself.
Pan Zide thought for a while and said, "No, don't report to the political envoy Master Zhang first, write a letter to your teacher first, and tell him what happened!" ”
Wang Zhang was confused when he heard Pan Zide say this, he was dead and the one who died was still the senator of the political secretary and the yamen, what did he do with the teacher Ma Mingyuan instead of reporting to the political envoy?
"Master Pan, the teacher naturally wants to inform you, but after all, we are under the control of the political envoy Zhang, so let's report to the political envoy first!"
Pan Zide looked at Wang Zhang and decided to pull him along, after all, Wang Zhang's teacher was Ma Mingyuan, who was the same year as himself, and Wang Zhang's relative was Wang Yunchang, if something happened to Wang Zhang, he would inevitably complain.
"Bingzhong, the old man and your teacher are in the same year, and it won't hurt you, if you want to listen to me, you must write to your teacher first, and the political envoy will be writing in three days!"
"But Master Pan, what if the political envoy receives the news first? Won't that pursue our dereliction of duty? ”
Pan Zide hated iron and scolded: "Bingzhong, what do you know? The political envoy first knew that we were at most derelict in the evening newspaper, but if you think about who the governor of the country is and what is the relationship between the political envoy and the political envoy Zhang? ”
After Pan Zide woke up, Wang Zhang found out that he was wrong, the governor Qu Shiyun was from Suzhou, and the political envoy Zhang Tongchang was a native of Huguang Jiangling, but he had been in Nanzhili for a long time and was still a student of Qu Shiyun. That Zhang Qingfang relied on the power of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family was in unison with the major families in Nanzhili, and if he really wanted to make trouble, he would definitely become a scapegoat.
