Chapter 105: Gathering a crowd to make trouble
Wanjia Chamber of Commerce has a close relationship with the Mi family, has business in all parts of Liaodong, and has strong financial resources
This road leads to Kanwai.
The official road was cut off, and the businessmen who wanted to go to Cyprus to do business were at a loss, and Gongsun Yiqing had never been impressed with this kind of business dealings
If you don't bother to pay attention to this kind of thing, the official road will be cut off, and the merchants in the customs will have fewer opportunities to get out of the customs.
The Chamber of Commerce kept dispatching laborers, and when these roads were repaired, they could take advantage of the road construction as an excuse to collect money from merchants
Road money.
If these merchants want to go to Guanwai to do business, unless they venture through the vertical and horizontal mountains, they can only take this road, leaving Wanjia and other merchants to do business
will be at the mercy. Wanjia Chamber of Commerce was in a hurry, because a large number of laborers died during the repair of roads, and Liaodong was freezing at this time, and was willing to stay and work
There are fewer and fewer workers.
The number of labourers has decreased, but the work has not decreased, and the workload assigned to each labourer has increased considerably. The people of the Northland are fierce
In desperation, these laborers also began to negotiate with the power of the Chamber of Commerce.
Other businessmen who could not participate in the construction of the road, seeing that there was an opportunity, secretly supported these laborers and the chamber of commerce against it.
The two sides fought openly and secretly, and many people died in each side.
There was also a complete antagonism between the Chamber of Commerce and labor.
That night, the fire in Jingmen County was bright, and the shouts shook the sky, and the people in the city lit up the lights one after another, lying at the window to pay attention to the situation outside.
Su Yi hid in the inn, and was also awakened by the silence outside, he secretly opened the window a gap and looked out coldly.
The sound of killing in the east of the city shook the sky, and the momentum was terrifying.
Su Yi was slightly stunned, returned to the bedside, picked up a long knife, and took advantage of the night to go through the window.
The east of the city is where the county government is located, and most of the rich people in the city buy properties there, and more importantly, the courtyard of the Wanjia Chamber of Commerce sits
Fall to the east of the city.
There was chaos in the city, and many laborers rushed towards the east of the city with sticks, and Su Yi mixed in the crowd and quietly followed. County office
Hundreds of people surrounded the yamen with torches and sticks.
In the county office, a group of catchers confronted each other with knives in messy clothes.
The two sides were at loggerheads for a while.
The county order hid behind this group of arresters, although these laborers were terrifying, but he was still a little dignified, hiding behind the crowd and asked slowly
"Who is your leader?" Dare to gather a crowd to make trouble, are you not afraid of being punished for the crime of treason? ”
"Whoever dares to gather a crowd to make trouble is intent on rebellion, and the official will kill him!"
This county order is quite smart, knowing that he can't offend a group of laborers at this time, he deliberately singled out the leader and put the blame on him.
These laborers were instigated, and when they heard the prefectural order saying that only the leaders should be killed, they were relieved.
The county order followed the temptation and said: "You are all people from good families, why are you instigated by the thugs to come and make trouble? Gather a crowd to make trouble and attack the county government
will be punished as a conspiracy, and this conspiracy will be connected to the nine clans! ”
When he said this, the laborers who surrounded the county government were even more hesitant, and many of them were reluctant to retreat.
"Murder pays for life!"
I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and the catchers at the yamen raised their knives one after another, and those laborers subconsciously raised their hands when they saw this
Pick up the sticks, and the melee is about to break out.
"Stop!"
The county magistrate is still hiding behind the arrester, "What kills to pay for life?" Even if there is really a murderer, that is what my yamen should investigate
Do you want to be so excited? ”
"Your government shielded the murderer, so many laborers died at the construction site a few days ago, and the murderer was from the Wanjia family, but the government has always shielded Wan
Home, ignore it......"
"Who is lying to confuse the public!" The prefectural magistrate shouted.
The voice sounded slowly, "It seems that the government is not ready to stand up for us workers, brothers, if you keep it."
Be silent, let the people of Wanjia act recklessly, then you will die next time! ”
The laborers, who had originally retreated, shouted one after another.
A few people were bold and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, those ten thousand families have cruel methods and tortured many workers to death, you have to do it for us."
Call the shots. ”
The county magistrate said patiently: "Don't worry, this matter is up to the official." ”
"When will the murderer be caught?"
"Yes, when will the murderer be brought to justice?"
The county commander frowned and said, "This official is handling the case, do I need to inform you!" ”
"Then you are deliberately protecting the Wan family!" The workers began to stir up.
Su Yi hid in the crowd, his gaze constantly swept over these laborers, and finally stopped at a few stout men.
These big men wore coarse linen clothes, hiding in the crowd and were inconspicuous, and at every critical moment, they would shout a sentence or two coldly
, arousing the anger of a group of laborers.
"Presumptuous!" The county order trembled with anger.
"Brothers, this group of dog officials intends to shield the Wan family, we will kill them and avenge the dead brothers!" I don't know who instigated one
The laborers raised their weapons and took a step forward, eager to try.
"This is Bowang County to the south, aren't you afraid of alarming the officers and soldiers of Bowang County?"
The laborers looked at each other and remained silent, they were poor people after all, and they did not want to meet the swords and soldiers of the imperial court.
"!" The county magistrate rarely scolded a swear word, "Go and let that old thing in the Wan family come over, they caused trouble by themselves, want."
Let Lao Tzu wipe his ass...... I don't care about these dirty things! ”
Those who catch fast are all silent, how dare they leave.
The county order was originally addicted, but when he saw this, he was furious and scolded: "What? Won't the official call you? still
Yes, such a big thing happened in the county office, why are only a few of you coming, where is the county lieutenant Zhao? ”
There are more than 30 catchers and white bodies gathered in this county, and there are more than 300 officials in and out of Jingmen County in the entire Jingmen County
It's Kuaishou, and there are two teams.
Looking at the thirty or so crooked melons and cracked dates in front of him, the county commander's eyes were cold, and he looked at the nearest catcher.
"Steward, what's going on? What about County Lieutenant Zhao and those fast hands? ”
The catcher who was called the old man was embarrassed: "My lord, this is ...... This Zhao Ye is drinking in Wanjia. ”
Hearing this, the county magistrate lowered his head, and then sneered.
The old manager felt a pang in his heart, and suddenly had a bad feeling, and sure enough, the county magistrate, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head and waved his hand violently
Said: "This official promises you that this matter will be handled impartially." ”
Another gloomy voice sounded in the crowd, "I wonder what the adults plan to do with this matter?" ”
The county commander said angrily: "Naturally, it is dealt with impartially, if the Wan family really kills someone, the palace will definitely send someone to arrest the murderer." It is the government's responsibility to arrest the murderer
What, what are you doing in front of the county yamen? Is it possible that you want to hinder the official from handling the case? ”
"We are gathered here to do the right thing for heaven and bring the murderer to justice!"
"Good!" The county commander pushed away the catcher who was blocking in front of him, stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Good one for the sky, good one."
Brought to justice, since you said that the family killed someone, did the murderer ever flee into the county office? ”
