Chapter 189: Chaos (6)
"What are you going to do?"
The door opened, facing countless men, Chen Mingxia's face was like ice, and his eyes were also very sharp, standing on the steps, although he was a Confucian official with a thin body, in terms of momentum, he actually pressed everyone back.
Chen Mingxia is proud of his youth, the field is early, and the name of the department is Tanhua, the name is the third in the first class, the merry and talented son is famous in Jiangnan, and the arrogance is deep in the bones.
At this time, the door is open, this mansion is a fine house built by the retired gentry, although the inside is small and exquisite, but the gate is still a three-bay regulation, wide and magnificent, very atmospheric.
Chen Mingxia was standing on the stone steps, his eyes were like cold electricity, and he glanced at everyone coldly.
All of a sudden, his posture and good appearance were shocking everyone, the head of the door here, originally the thoroughfare, the middle of the city, so there were more than 10,000 people gathered around, there were more than 1,000 people at the head of the door here, and the heads were crowded in one place, and it was impossible to see the edge at a glance. If you change to an ordinary person, don't say open the door, after opening the door, I am afraid that I will not dare to open my voice, even if I open the voice, it must be a harmonious begging for mercy, and I will never dare to be so hard.
But Chen Mingxia is like this, standing on the high stone steps, his posture is upright, and his eyes are like electricity!
"What to do, you know in your heart!"
Although there were many people present, but there were not many who dared to step forward, almost all of them were intimidated by Chen Mingxia's arrogance, and after half a ring, a student stepped forward, pointed to Chen Mingxia's nose and said: "You want to make trouble with Yangang, Chen Baishi, you don't care if you mistake yourself, don't mistake me Huaiyang Yanmin!" ”
"Oh?" Chen Mingxia sneered and asked rhetorically: "How to reform the salt class, I don't know what to do myself, how can Your Excellency know that I am going to cause trouble?" It's amazing. ”
When the other party opened his mouth, Chen Mingxia scolded and scolded: "Bastard bastard thing, instigating the people to make trouble, don't you know that this is a violation of the law and prohibition?" This official is a jinshi and the first, a dignified court official, do you dare to threaten this official as those eunuchs? ”
He is a handsome man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and at this time he is scolding, but he is also bold and bold, and under repeated reprimands, a group of students who have been prepared for a long time are dumbfounded, thinking about the threat contained in the other party's words, they are all frightened for a while, and no one dares to step forward.
These people are just relying on the identity of the student to do this, but the person in front of them is obviously stronger than them, the eloquence is even more powerful, and the identity is even more judgmental.
Although there are many people who come from the congestion, but the people are not completely ignorant, hearing Chen Mingxia's rebuttal words, everyone feels reasonable, and many people are calm down at the moment, no longer as angry as Shicai.
It's a pity that there are too few people in the front row, and it was already very crowded, and the people in the back are still desperately squeezing forward.
"The surname is Chen, you want to coax us?"
A group of scoundrels came out of the crowd, but they did not speak from a distance, and as they questioned, they swarmed up.
These people are dressed in a variety of colors, even vermilion, and weapons such as knives and knives, all of them are full of meat, and they know at a glance that they are not Shannei.
At that time, the local government almost paid little attention to public security, and the customs of the people in Huai'an were simple, and there were few such people, and the further south they went, the more scoundrels and gangsters there were, and the area around Suchang in the south of the Yangtze River was almost the world of these hooligans.
Unexpectedly, here in Yangzhou, I also saw such a character, and the accent sounded like the tone of Suzhou Mansion, at this time, Chen Mingxia didn't realize that his eyes were slightly closed, and he knew that the big thing was over.
"Why, don't you dare answer us?"
This group of scoundrels was brought from Suzhou by various forces to discuss with each other, and the number of people exceeded 100, and although there were dozens of people standing here, there were also a lot of people in the crowd.
They are most familiar with this kind of gathering crowds to make trouble, and among them are those in their forties and fifties, who participated in several major civil uprisings in Suzhou.
Such a person, knowing that reasoning with an official like Chen Mingxia is, of course, self-inflicted humiliation, and immediately turned around, unreasonable, just kept scolding, all kinds of heart-wrenching words, and kept scolding, dozens of sentences, obviously unreasonable speculation, and even absurd words, but Chen Mingxia's face was pale, and he couldn't talk back, and the people of Yangzhou Yanding, who were listening, looked at Chen Mingxia's loss, so the raging momentum that was originally suppressed burned again.
"Lord Chen, please come in."
The situation was not good, Liu Junfeng also hurried out, and beside him, there were three shacks of direct guard officers and soldiers lined up in several layers. All of them are holding swords and swords, with armor and stomachs on their bodies, and there are more than ten officers and soldiers, stretching their bows and arrows, and guarding behind.
Seeing the madmen rushing up, Liu Junfeng knew that the Gusu scoundrels were unreasonable, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and the iron armor on his body also shook loudly, he blocked in front of Chen Mingxia, and with his eyes that were not angry and arrogant, he made dozens of scoundrels pause, and then turned to Chen Mingxia and whispered: "Yangzhou has changed so much, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely come to the rescue." Even if His Highness does not come, it is inevitable to send troops to come, or strictly supervise the garrison to rescue him. Liu Konghe, the chief military officer of Jiangdu Town, is His Royal Highness's hand-drawn reuse, and will never live up to His Highness's great kindness, he has more than a dozen battalions of garrison troops under his command, and the camp of the Three Forks River is only more than 20 miles apart. ”
"That's right."
Chen Mingxia also understood in his heart that these people in front of him were not theoretical, so he turned around and was about to retreat into the hospital.
It was not too wise for him to come out at the right time, and to retreat at this time was even more to give people a handle.
At that moment, the scoundrels shouted together: "This official surnamed Chen is going to run!" ”
Then the people arranged by the salt merchants added fuel to the fire, and they all shouted: "You can't let him run away, pull him down, and ask him clearly, why do you want to harm my people in Yangzhou." ”
Among the crowd, there are many people who come from Taizhou, the road is far away, and at this time they are also shouting in the crowd, and desperately pushing forward.
"Don't have an accident like this, right?"
Liu Yan is a big man among the salt merchants in Huai'an, and at this time, he is also hiding at the end of the crowd, together with a group of Huaiyang salt merchants, watching the turmoil in front of him.
This time, the big thing is that all parties hook up and act together. The Huaiyang area has really never seen such a big scene, Rao is Liu Yan is open-minded, and at this time he is also shaking, quite scared.
"What are you afraid of!"
Everyone cheered him up, and secondly, they comforted themselves, and said one after another: "This matter is arranged by Gao Situ, how many people are behind him?" It's not once or twice that they make trouble in Jiangnan, don't worry, at most kill a few scoundrels led by them, those guys, it's not a pity to die, but we will take care of him? ”
"Different, different!"
Liu Yan felt uneasy for a while, only feeling that this time was very different from usual, and as for how it was different, he couldn't say anything for a while.
But seeing that the crowd kept surging forward, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the mansion were also pushed together, Chen Mingxia's official hat didn't know who had been knocked off, and his hair was scattered, which was very embarrassing.
And the more anxious he wanted to get in, the more the people behind him grabbed him, and at this time, the crowd was agitated, and the only remaining reason was gone.
"It's going to be a big deal!"
Liu Junfeng was sweating profusely, pressing his right hand on the waist knife, and wanted to pull it out several times, but he never dared to pull the knife out of the sheath.
Those scoundrels, all of whom are begging for a living on the street, what do you not understand at first glance? At the moment, they all looked at each other, constantly pushing and shoving forward, originally a little distance from the officers and soldiers of the direct guard, but gradually, they were forced up.
"You sentry, what a fool!"
Just as Qianjun was firing, a dagger with a cold light was pressed against the throat of the nearest scoundrel, and the scoundrel was startled, and his neck was crooked, and immediately brought out a bead of blood.
Liu Junfeng looked back, but there were several rough-looking and fierce-looking men, each with a short knife or a dagger in his hand, and they were vicious, and they either resisted one or stretched out their fists and kicks, and in three or five strokes, they made a small gap around Chen Mingxia.
"Close the door!"
Qin Shouhua roared angrily, and only then did he make a move, of course these scoundrels were not his opponents, but when he glanced around, he saw that many Yan Jiading guards were hiding in them, these people were all brave and ruthless, and many of them were originally smuggler salt dealers, and now the crowd is raging, in case the two sides really make a move, I am afraid that if they want to protect Chen Mingxia's safety, it will be extremely difficult.
"This official will definitely present it, and ask the crown prince to mobilize soldiers to annihilate Er and other lawless fanatics!"
Chen Mingxia was finally snatched out by protection, Rao is a native of Jiangnan, and he has seen several large-scale citizen riots since he was a child, but when he was in the whirlpool, he knew that it was like this, and it was really uncomfortable!
When the mob killed the tax supervisor of the imperial court, Chen Mingxia also cheered and cheered in the crowd, and when he grew up, he felt that it was a fair and just move to drive out the tyranny and tens of thousands of people to work together.
At this time, he realized how stupid he was back then!
The large number of people does not represent justice!
As the door slowly closed, Chen Mingxia's words were also heard by many people and paraphrased wildly. Under the spread of people with hearts, after a few rounds, it has changed.
"It is said that the imperial court is coming to Yangzhou to kill all the salt merchants and salt people."
"Now that there are a lot of us, he is still so ruthless, if we really bring in soldiers, there will be a way for us to live?"
"Don't even refuse to eat the loss in front of you, do you treat us salt people as people?"
"The dog said, then kill him first, what is the crown prince to know, we Yangzhou people are not easy to bully."
The anger of the people has risen, and Chen Mingxia's stubbornness and arrogance finally made him personally raise this storm with his own hands, and rolled himself in the center of the eye of the storm, and he was about to tear himself to pieces!
