This kind of thing is not unprecedented, I thought it was the same as before, that is, a small episode, and it would not be too long.

But I didn't think about it, this time the Shandong army seemed to be coming for real.

Shortly after the Spring Festival of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Shandong soldiers and horses began to set up cards in the canal to collect money, which is also very simple, it is called Li Jin, so that people can understand at a glance that they really want to force you to give money by force.

It takes time for the news to spread from Shandong and Nanzhili to Beijing, but the speed of transmission of such a major event as Cao Yun is naturally faster than others, and it takes half a month to reach the court.

The military admonition has ended, but the Shandong army has intensified its efforts to set up cards, what is it called, such things that cannot be taken on the table, they can even say it in a grand manner, and collect money in the name of it.

I have to say that this Anton Hou Wang's face is really thick enough.

At first, Shandong seemed to be really tempting, after all, it may be the first time to touch this thing, but it is only charged according to one percent of the list.

Chongzhen was both angry and funny, he didn't think about this method, but because of this, he had to confront the family and Shizi Group of Qinhuai in Jiangnan, he couldn't make up his mind, but he didn't expect to be done by Wang Zheng in the end.

In Chongzhen's eyes, this matter is self-destruction, how can the scholars and wealthy families in Jiangnan who don't listen to the words of the court today let you be a martial artist on your head.

Chongzhen's unexpected calm this time can be regarded as an attitude towards Wang Zheng's resignation.

After all, although Shandong set up a card in the canal to collect money, it will not affect the freight of the canal, and there is still a big difference between directly blocking the goods and preventing them from being transported to the north.

Things are developing unexpectedly to the emperor and officials, after the news came out, Nan Zhili exploded, and the shopkeepers of various family shipping companies couldn't believe it, why did Lao Tzu pay you money?

At the beginning, they always felt that no matter how arrogant Wang Zheng was, he didn't dare to offend the anger of the people, not to mention that the scholars had always admired that the law did not blame the public, and it was simply unpleasant to threaten the court with this method.

As long as one person doesn't pay, everyone won't pay, and at that time, even if it's someone from the Shandong Army, what can they do, and they can still arrest and kill everyone.

......

"Centigold, what kind of bullshit centigold?"

"Do you know whose family this goods is, it's Qian Qianyi's master, your Shandong governor and chief soldier have seen it, and they have to kowtow, don't blame Lao Tzu for not being merciful when the time comes!"

At the wharf outside Jining, several large ships are moored, and more ships are constantly coming, which is quite crowded, and the merchants on the ships are scolding at a group of people with slender men and sailors.

Qian Qianyi is now a well-known figure among the Donglin scholars, and even Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, was his protégé, once his name is mentioned on the canal, how dare there be any obstruction.

But just now, these Shandong Salt Gang, who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, actually stopped the boat to collect taxes, saying that they would pay the money according to one percent of the list, which simply made the people on the boat laugh and lose their big teeth.

"That's it, Lao Tzu's ship is the goods of Zhou Ge, the first assistant of the current cabinet, and he dares to come to collect the gold, I think you are tired of being crooked, right?"

"This centimeter of gold is not overt at all, everyone has to listen to these salt dogs talking nonsense, it is obvious that Wang Zheng of Shandong wants to fill his own pockets and take the opportunity to harm our hard-earned money."

It's very noisy here, and I don't know if it's a big deal to watch the excitement, or if there is something else, the shipwharfists around the dock have all leaned over and pointed at the people from the Shandong Salt Gang who boarded the ship.

This situation seems to be a bit out of control, the more the ship is blocked, the more the freight between the north and the south is not smooth, I am afraid that even the imperial court will be angry, many people are making trouble with such thoughts, and they are not afraid that Shandong will not let them go.

Zhou Yanru's boat was standing with more than a dozen people from the Shandong Salt Gang, and not far from Qian Qianyi's boat was a group of salt from the Anti-Salt Bureau.

The most different thing between the Salt Gang and the Anti-Salt Bureau is that the Salt Gang is composed of salt dealers, which is somewhat Sven and not arrogant, but the Anti-Salt Bureau is full of salt people with no cultural background, who only recognize Wang Zheng's orders, and don't care about these ways when they talk.

The businessmen on Zhou Yanru's ship were still scolding, and everyone was still watching the play, but they suddenly heard a miserable scream, and immediately turned their heads to look over in panic.

I saw that on the boat not far away, the salt leaders of the Salt Enforcement Bureau were holding bloody waist knives and said coldly:

"Where is so much nonsense, don't pay the money, cut it!"

The people around were talking energetically, but they saw that the salt of the salt control bureau on several more ships drew their knives, walked towards the leading merchants of those ships, and stabbed them directly.

The white knife goes in, and the red knife comes out.

The smell of blood suddenly filled most of the wharf, and the merchants walked north and south, how could I ever see such an unreasonable person, who would do it if he didn't agree with him, and wouldn't quarrel with you at all.

At this moment, the surrounding noise suddenly fell silent a lot, and the merchant on Zhou Yanru's ship secretly took a few steps back and swallowed a few saliva.

There are a lot of people from the Shandong Salt Gang on the other side, and they haven't done it yet, and the leader is a literati in a gray robe, who seems to be a bookstore.

However, although he is a literati, he is not necessarily polite when he speaks, and when the Anti-Salt Bureau began to kill people not long ago, the salt gang secretary kept looking at the accounts, and suddenly raised his head and asked:

"Do you pay or not?"

If it was Fang Cai, the merchant was afraid that he would immediately open his mouth to refuse, but this time he was hesitant for a long time, neither daring to say that he would not pay it, nor daring to be the first person named Li Jin.

Seeing his appearance, the salt gang clerk shook his head, and said lightly behind him:

"Go and call someone from the Salt Enforcement Department to collect it."

The businessman's mouth opened wide, and he didn't hold back a word in the eyes of the people around him.

Not long after, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps from the ship's board, and a group of vicious salters wearing blue coats and armed with waist knives boarded the boat, and the little leader asked;

"Zhou Shuban, is this ship not paying the money?"

That Zhou Shuban flipped through the accounts and said without raising his head:

"Resisting taxes and not paying them, this is a felony, cut him down, and the goods on the ship are transported to the inner warehouse for retention."

Seeing that the leader of the salt dings was getting closer and closer, the merchant had no courage at all, and did not care about the consequences of paying taxes, waved his hands again and again, kept retreating, and finally knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said:

"The little ones are willing to pay taxes, they are willing to pay, don't kill me, don't kill me......"

After the merchant finished speaking, the surrounding merchants and shopkeepers suddenly booed, and the salt gang clerk raised his head and said quietly:

"Well, it's good to be willing to pay taxes."

Looking at such a vicious salt ding, there is no mercy at all when it comes to killing people, and the people around him who were originally thinking about watching the show have now quieted down, and no one expected that the salt gang and the salt enforcement bureau in Shandong would be so ruthless, and even the taxes were taken care of.

The boat just now, one of which is Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the current cabinet, has now taken the lead in handing over the canal gold, and the other one is even worse.

jumped to his feet and shouted that he was the manager of Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, but the other party still had no scruples, everyone was killed, and now the body is soaked in water.
