She County Liangxi South, and Xiuning Yishang Mountain. If this had been placed in the past, Xiuning County Ling Chen Xianzun would definitely feel honored when he heard this. After all, it is a glorious thing to be rich under one's own rule. However, the fierce debate in the previous government was actually used by Wang Shangning as an excuse for unfair taxation, and he was stunned for a while, and he didn't know how to refute it, and the few Xiuning eunuchs he brought over were not as proficient in quibbles as the people from She County and Wuyuan.

Chen Xianzun was originally a good gentleman with no prestige, in the face of the hustle and bustle of the people, coupled with the fact that Shuai Jiamo had returned to his hometown in beautiful clothes, he knew that the people's grievances were boiling, so he simply said that he was sick and didn't care about it for the time being, and entrusted all the things to the county agent, and he was the shopkeeper, and made up his mind not to mix it again. However, on this day, he was reclining on the head of the bed reading a book, flirting with the concubine who was serving on the side, but he didn't want to suddenly boil outside. Although he has been hiding or being lazy in the past few days, Chen Xianzun is still quite dissatisfied with this situation, and immediately ordered the concubine who was also frowning: "Go and see what's going on, let them stop!" ”

The little concubine glanced at her master, and immediately got up and twisted her waist, but it didn't take long for her to run back in a panic, and said with a crying voice: "Master, it's not good, a large group of masked people rushed into the county office, and they beat people when they saw them, and now the county government in front of them can't go at all, and even the gate of our official party is watched, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" ”

Chen Xianzun gasped when he was on the board, where could he still care about pretending to be sick. Lift the quilt and get out of bed at once. I pulled my shoes and wanted to rush out. But he was stopped by the concubine and hugged him: "Master, these are all chaotic people who came out of nowhere, you must not risk your ......"

"Women's family, you know a fart, if Xiuning is really in chaos, your master's future will be over, and when the time comes, I will take you to drink the northwest wind? Let go, I've got to go out and have a look! ”

However. The little concubine lost her soul and let go, Chen Xianzun staggered to the door of the official house before he even had time to put on his clothes, and saw the guy with a pile of black cloth covering his face and only showing his eyes in front of the door, and when he found that he came out, there were even more fierce eyes, and his courage that he finally barely lifted flew to Java, and he was so frightened that he sat down to the ground. At this time, he only heard one of the masked men say in a hoarse voice: "Chen Xianzun, our brothers just want to occupy your county government for a few days, and you should taste what it is like to be a county master." I don't want to do that to you, you stay honest for a few days. Otherwise, don't blame you're welcome! ”

Chen Xianzun only felt that his scalp was numb, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, and he stammered and asked, "Occupying the county government is a big crime, you ...... Aren't you afraid that the imperial court will send heavenly soldiers to condemn you? ”

"If you're afraid, we won't come! You Xiuning has been proud for so long, and it has caused us people in She County to make a living, and this time it's time to pay the price! Brothers, close the door, don't let this dog officer come out! ”

Hearing this loud response, he watched several men with black cloth and face covered swarm up and close the door of the official house, and then it was as if a chain iron lock had been added to the outer knocker, Chen Xianzun only felt that his feet were weak and he couldn't even stand up. Although listening to the tone of the outsider, it seems that he came to Xiuning from She County to make trouble, but Chen Xianzun is not stupid, and Shexian County has now won a big victory, and the matter of Xia Tax's silk and silk is flat can be implemented at a glance, and when he is elated, how can he come to Xiuning to make trouble?

It must be that someone in Xiuning is not convinced, and took the opportunity to frame the big people to make a fuss, but how can he expose this matter? If he turns around and insists that it is a troublemaker, he can still escape this hurdle with this Xiuning county order, and if the traitors in this county pretend to be Sheren to occupy the county government and put the county under house arrest spread, and it can't appease the people and provoke the people to revolt, his county order will really come to an end, and there is no discussion about dismissal for the people!

The front hall of the county ya, at this moment, is not what Chen Xianzun's concubine said, it is completely occupied by a group of masked people, but it is still in order. In other words, the uproar came from the people outside the county office, and the gate of the county magistrate's office was locked and sent to watch it, and the rest of the place was the same as before, and there was no chaos. It's just that in the issuing room in charge of document issuance, it is currently occupied by Wu Dajiang, Ye Ting and a few famous lawsuits in Xiuning, and at this time, others saw that Wu Dajiang was holding the official document written by Chen Xianzun in the past as a reference, and he imitated the handwriting one by one, and it was an urgent official document that was written in a moment.

Ye Ting took it and looked at it in his hand, and almost didn't stare out his eyes: "There are more than 10,000 thieves, and they are taken to Chenzhi County, Xiuning, and they are about to besiege the Huizhou Mansion, I am afraid that something will happen?" Wouldn't it be too exaggerated to write like this, and besides, why did you raise your head to the Fujian Political Secretary? ”

"Of course, Nanzhili will send it, but it must be a few days late, and it must be sent to Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong first, so that this incident in Huizhou Mansion can spread all over the world, so that other places in the world that are unfairly taxed will be shaken? In this way, the court throws a rat bogey, even if those people in She County have a hard background in the imperial court, they don't dare to come hard, this is Yangmou. ”

When Wu Dajiang said this, seeing that others still had doubts, he smiled and said, "What is said in this document is a thief, and it is Chen Xianzun's handwriting, his pustule must be trembling in the back of the official party at this time, and when the time comes, in order to save his life and future, he insists that there is indeed such a thing, just because there are people who rushed into his official office and locked him inside, he really thinks that there are more than 10,000 people who have committed chaos to surround the county government, and others have not seen it, what else can happen?" ”

The other litigants were also because of the rumors from Wuyuan, knowing that there was already a lot of trouble, so they decided to put their hearts into adding fuel to the fire in Xiuning, and then they stood up and called on everyone to raise donations in the name of the rescuer, and then claimed to go where to complain, and then the money would be in hand effortlessly. However, Wu Dajiang wanted to sing such a big play, which was undoubtedly unexpected to them. Even Ye Ting, who had always been good friends with him, saw that he began to write a report in Chen Xianzun's handwriting again, and couldn't help but ask with some hesitation: "Brother Wu, is this too much trouble?" ”

"Wuyuan delivered the news to our Xiuning, it was purely unkind. I hope we will rush to the front. They enjoy it in the back. If only it were in their way. It's serious to turn around and punish a bunch of people, don't think about turning around such a situation! On the contrary, we are simply making the most trouble now, and we may turn around and get things done. As long as the thing is done, no matter how much money we collect now, the people will have nothing else to say. You know, how much money can ordinary people give? This time, I want to knock on those rich people who are not eunuchs, but hope to improve their voice in Xiuning and even Huizhou Mansion. Aren't we Xiuning rich? Don't squeeze a sum hard, isn't it in vain this time? ”

With Wu Dajiang's words. Seeing that one by one of the messages was made without adding a little bit of necessity, everyone did not hesitate, and after reading and confirming that it was correct, they immediately called the officials of the Chengfa Chamber, who were in cahoots with them, to hand over the sealed official documents to different soldiers and send them to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangzhou. After these things were done, everyone slipped out of the county office through the side door, but they went to meet the rich people of Xiuning who contacted them after learning that the people had reacted strongly. As for the Xiuning County Ya, there are more and more people gathered, and because Chen Xianzun has not come out to appease for a long time, people naturally become manic, and they have everything to say.

The county respected none of them. In addition to the official of the Chengfa Room, who was originally one of the masterminds, the people in the third class and the sixth room of the county government were more or less aware of some clues. But no one thought about going to the back to ask Chen Xianzun for advice. For the county magistrate who has no prestige and will only be with the mud when encountering trouble, no one thinks that he can suppress the situation, so among these officials, some simply act as turtles with shrunken heads, some simply slip out of the back door, and some go to the front to mingle with the villagers who are making trouble to express their anger at Junping Xia's tax silk...... After a whole day of trouble, even at curfew, a large number of villagers still refused to leave.

It wasn't until the next morning that Wu Dajiang and others appeared. They negotiated the conditions with several wealthy families overnight, and successfully made a lot of silver, and at this time they appeared in front of the county government with representatives of several families, but they kept talking about their fathers and villagers. Especially after Wu Dajiang helped up a few elderly people under him, he was even more heartbroken and impassioned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Huizhou is a government and six counties, breaking bones and connecting tendons, it can be said that it is a villager, but She County is attached to Guoshou County, there are many officials in the court, and the official position is high, and they dare to point fingers at the taxation of the ancestral legal system, saying that the summer tax is unfair, and what is even more infuriating is that the Huizhou Mansion, Shexian County Government, and even those big yamen in Nanjing that we can't reach at all, are all voices that help them speak! And Shuai Jiamo, who single-handedly provoked this dispute, was even more brazen and brought back with a crown to show off, saying that what he said lived up to Sangzi's hopes, this was clearly a stab in our hearts! ”

Seeing that there were shouts one after another, Wu Dajiang stretched out his hand and pressed it, and then said sincerely: "We know everyone's intentions, and if Shuai Jiamo can run around in She County, we can do the same." Coming with me today are a few well-known people in Xiuning, this is Master Fang, this is Cheng Daguan, this is Bao Yuanwai......" After introducing them one by one, he raised his voice.

"These great benevolent people generously donated a total of 800 taels of silver for a few of us who are proficient in criminal laws and regulations to go to Beijing to file a complaint. Everyone knows, not to mention the big yamen of Liangjing, it is a small yamen like the county yamen, how much does it cost to fill in a lawsuit and a lawsuit? But it doesn't matter, the money is not enough, and we will make up for it, even if we beg grandpa to tell grandma to fight the autumn breeze everywhere, we will support it to the end. All in all, we will definitely not let everyone carry the summer tax silk that we should not carry, and the big burden of flat silver! ”

In the face of such a statement, as the nurses who were originally placed in the crowd loudly praised the generosity of those good people for their feats, some nurses took out the only little money around them and donated it as the entanglement of Wu Dajiang and others...... Under such an infection, the villagers gathered in front of the county yamen hesitated for a while at first, followed by a few articles for you and a dozen for me, and they were competing with each other, and in the end, they actually scraped together enough money of dozens of taels to come out. There are even those who have no money around them to go back and call for fundraising, and the scene is extremely enthusiastic.

Early the next morning, the huge donation box that Wu Dajiang secretly had people put at the entrance of the county government was completely full.

It was only at this time that the others had to admire Wu Dajiang's excellent idea. And Wu Dajiang's more brilliant idea is still behind, after he changed a donation box, he actually used words to instigate the people, saying that it was Xiuning's matter, Xiuning people can't ignore it, but whenever any big family in Xiuning County is dead, he instigated the villagers to shout and heckle in front of these people's homes, forcing people to take out money to destroy the disaster. However, as the designated forcible donations for large households became more and more in-depth, several masterminds privately settled accounts and found that the money they received had exceeded 5,000 taels, and the original intention at the beginning was gradually completely diluted by irrepressible greed.

It turns out that there is such a fast way to make money in this world!

Not only did Wu Dajiang and others discover that the wealth was huge, but even the officials of the Chengfa Housing who were originally connected with them in the county government, and even the nurseries who were mixed with the real people, ran errands, and even a few smart people who had donated money themselves, were aware of the huge amount of money.

As more and more people wanted to get a piece of the pie, Wu Dajiang originally wanted to take the opportunity to get a vote and first go to the Huizhou Mansion in Fucheng to make a statement, and then go to the two capitals to symbolically take a turn, and wait until the report sent to the political secretary and the governor's yamen in various places suddenly spread wildly.

Even if he knew that he might offend the rich and wealthy families in Xiuning, he was already completely pushed away by that wave, and it was impossible for him to stop!

And that evening, after seeing the angry villagers who were out of control directly set fire to a wealthy family in the county town that refused to donate, Wu Dajiang finally realized that the situation was completely out of control and had to consider the way back. At this moment, when they dragged their tired footsteps, they jointly carried the donation box that was harvested today and rushed back, Wu Dajiang, who was walking in the forefront, stretched out his hand to push, but found that the courtyard door was empty, and suddenly sighed in his heart, and when the gate slowly opened, he found that there were a few people lying crookedly in the yard, and they gasped when they took the villagers to donate all day.

Could it be that he was robbed? Or after the fight, someone ran away with the money?

Although there were all people lying on the ground, Wu Dajiang, Ye Ting and the others, no one cared about the lives of these people on the ground, so they pulled their legs and ran to the house where those donation boxes were hidden. When they saw that the box was still there, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but Wu Dajiang's face turned pale, and he stepped forward and picked up a box. However, the chest, which should have been heavy and full of silver and copper coins, was picked up by him at this moment, and the sight made the eyes of everyone else widen. When they hurriedly tried the other boxes one by one, their faces were as dead as ashes. It's empty!

"If you let Lao Tzu know who is black and black, Lao Tzu will kill him alive!"

As someone scolded angrily, Wu Dajiang lowered his eyelids, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart. Sure enough, at this moment, he heard a loud commotion outside.

"Don't let one go!"
