Chapter 268: Reward Money and Qi Jiajun
Since the news that Zhang Ning, the eunuch of the tax customs, was held hostage, and then the people in the line broke in and occupied the tax customs in one fell swoop, the outside of Beixin Pass was temporarily blocked by the servants of the Hangzhou government. Although there were a lot of soldiers guarding Beixinguan before, hundreds of people were beaten before and they turned on their backs, and everyone knew that this rabble could not be counted on. However, even if the entire Hangzhou government office, the three classes of government officials from the main service to the deputy service, the helper, the white service, and the helper, to say the least, there are one or two thousand, but it is easy for them to knock the people on the bamboo pole, but it is difficult to do serious things.
Therefore, the so-called blockade is just a sparse pull, and once after Yan Yuan, Wang Fulin and others entered, they were broken through once by a group of people who beat the line, and dozens of people, including Xiaobei, were allowed to enter Beixinguan.
Next, the government office Huang Tuiguan came in person and gave a death order, if people break into the city again, then they will be dismissed from the government, and there is no other word, and now the servants have to work harder. But this kind of withering taste is not very pleasant, not to mention that there is no benefit, many people are complaining. Therefore, when Huang Tuiguan appeared again in the afternoon and told those white service helpers that they could go back at this time, leaving only the service to listen to it, and thousands of people were immediately very happy. After all, many of them are inextricably linked to those who are in the industry, even if it doesn't matter, they are afraid of turning around and being beaten fat.
Among them, no one planned to stay and watch the excitement, and look at what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Yanfu Zun, but when they saw a group of brightly armored soldiers and horses appear, and saw the swords of these people clearly, they were suddenly silent, and they all slipped away one by one.
That turned out to be the color of Qi Jiajun's uniform! And they all blackened their faces, isn't this a common method used by the Qi family army when they fought the Japanese invaders?
Since Qi Jiguang brought 3,000 elites and was transferred to Jimen as the chief soldier. The remaining soldiers and horses of the Qi family army were scattered. Some of them are under the direct jurisdiction of the governors of Fujian and Zhejiang. Nominally, it is to prevent possible Japanese invaders, but the other part has been cutting down and demobilizing and subordinating to the guards. Although it is not as good as the governors and pacesetters in the border towns in the north, although there are only 500 people in Zhejiang, they are the same as the elite of the elite. I think that the Japanese who were ravaging the southeast at the beginning were all beaten by them, not to mention the rabble in Beixinguanzhong? But Zhejiang Governor Wu Lian is obviously not here, who can mobilize this army of soldiers and horses?
Even if it's just a few hundred people. But that's also the Qi family's army! But now, the Qi family's army, which rarely appears in front of people, has reappeared!
With the appearance of this hundred-person team, there were also ten carriages, because the government officials had all been driven to the outermost periphery, so they couldn't see the baskets on the carriage that could only be carried down by four sturdy men with the carriage, so naturally they couldn't guess.
At this moment, the chaos in Beixinguan has spread to several entrances and exits, and the people who originally guarded it are also in a dilemma. The person in charge of lookout on the castle has also long since left his position, therefore. No one noticed the change of guard. As for the merchants who were stranded at the dock and could not leave because of the Beixinguan Rebellion, they hid in the boat from beginning to end and did not dare to come out, and of course they did not know what was happening outside.
When the baskets covered with black cloth were carried to the designated places by the sturdy men, seeing that the preparations had stopped, and the hour was almost up, several loud voices shouted loudly in unison: "The Mansion has a life, but anyone who takes the initiative to go out of the customs will have a reward!" ”
With these words, I saw a lot of copper coins thrown into the sky in a few big baskets, and then a few men seemed to think that such an action was not fast enough, so they directly dumped the baskets to the ground, and with the sound of la-la-la, for a while, they were all over the ground to make money!
Hearing this movement, the people at the gate who were still hesitating looked at the place where the sound came from, and when they saw the scene of money all over the ground, there was a big commotion.
Although the rich family in Qiantang often throws happy money to celebrate, most of them just use a dustpan to symbolically sprinkle thousands of money, and now look at the appearance of the basket full of tens of thousands, at least hundreds of thousands of dollars! Even when occupying Beixinguan, there were people who wanted to rob the Guanyin, however, in addition to the hundreds of taels of silver collected for customs clearance that day, the Beixinguan Silver Treasury was set up underground, the iron door was poured solidly, and the padlocks were six full.
So, someone hit the idea of the tax eunuch Zhang Ning, and after punching and kicking, Zhang Ning honestly confided the truth. Not long after he took office, he had a lot of pockets, but he didn't take it himself, but planned to send it back to Beijing to honor his godfather and grandfather. As for the key to the silver vault, he hadn't been able to fight Zhu Zhen before, and it wasn't in his hands at all!
Almost instantly, dozens of people wearing white scarves were rushing out of several exits, striding in the direction of the money. If you don't talk about the reward, maybe there are people with clear heads who are a little wary, but since it is said to be the reward money issued by the Zun of the Mansion, plus it is said that there has been a scuffle in Beixin Guanzhong, greed has suddenly swept away most people's heads, some people pick it up on the spot, some people fight for it, and some people rush forward to occupy the basket directly, all in all, the flow of people is almost all rushed in the only direction.
Although they swept Beixinguan like locusts crossing the border before, most people didn't say they had a lot of money, they just didn't get two money, how could they let it go at this moment? even pushed and beat each other for three or two dollars. As for the men who shouted for money at the beginning, they ran away when they saw a large number of people rushing in, and they all disappeared immediately. And as the people who couldn't squeeze in to grab the money saw this scene, they immediately ran to Beixinguan to summon helpers, and soon more people rushed out to grab this floating wealth that fell from the sky.
After all, they are usually opponents of each other in grabbing territory, and the previous melee in Beixin Guanzhong has already been a real fire, and many people have no intention of staying in it. As a result, the scuffle that took place under Beixin Pass because of the reward was even more chaotic than the previous melee in Beixin Pass.
When the money in a few baskets was snatched up, the sound of rewarding money was heard in the other three places in the distance, and everyone could see that there were several baskets there. In the eyes of those who grabbed the money. They don't see baskets. It's glittering money! Because the three places are about the same. The number one or two hundred people were divided into three groups almost instantly, and they ran around desperately loading money.
Even those men who arrived early at the beginning and were full of money in their arms at the moment, even if they ran at the end and could no longer pretend, they were still panting and ran to the place where the bounty was distributed, and some even took off their clothes and planned to wrap them up. Grab some more bags in there.
Just when a large group of people ran to the ground, grabbing the money and grabbing it happily, they only heard a loud whistle, and then dozens of black-faced soldiers and horses descended from the sky and surrounded them. For a while, some people exclaimed that they were fooled, and some people called for fighting, but as the bright-eyed people shouted that it was the Qi family's army, the commotion turned into a dead silence almost instantly.
"There is an order in the mansion, and the matter of Beixinguan. only blames the first evil, and never asks. Everyone waits for the reward and then sits down on the spot, and if they dare to flee rashly, they will be killed! Come, disarm, tie up! ”
The officer who heard this shout reiterated that he was only responsible for the first evil, and did not say anything about recovering the reward, even if it was a person who wanted to fight hard in the cauldron, he touched the bulging bag of money in his arms, and finally sat down honestly. Next, I only heard someone shouting to the pass, and those who surrendered out of the pass were rewarded with thousands of dollars, and there were still people who abandoned the pass one after another. Hearing this, and seeing this scene again, the gang of people who had robbed money and grabbed each other before, and their noses and faces were swollen couldn't help but be very resentful. Knowing that there is money if they are one step late, what else are they robbing? All have money!
Compared with the Mandarin Duck Formation that led the Qi Family's army, it was still the wife who took the reward and waited for the forgiveness to turn back, anyway, they were not the first evil!
No one noticed that seeing that the sentry sticks, Pu knives and so on had been confiscated, and a large group of people were tied with long ropes in their right hands, becoming a string of zongzi, Yang Tao, who was shouting in military uniform, wiped the sweat on his head, and still couldn't help but feel palpitations. This play didn't even smash up, the name of the handsome man is really good!
As soon as there was chaos outside, the inside of the city naturally gradually became empty, especially Wang Fulin and others did not take the main road of external communication, but the well-known road of Zhang Ning and Zhu Zhen, and only encountered three or four unlucky ghosts along the way, all of whom Huo Zheng couldn't help but say that he was knocked unconscious, and he also seized a Pu knife and sentry stick and other weapons, and all five people were armed. Among the five people, Huo Zheng opened the way with a Pu knife, Zhang Ning and Zhu Zheng, two unlucky ghosts who staggered in the middle, with a whistle stick in their hands, Wang Fulin and Yan Yuan Palace, Wang Fulin still held Zhu Zhen's sword in his hand, and Yan Yuan was barehanded.
Wang Fulin also learned on the road that after Director Zhu, who was powerless at the beginning, hid in the rat hole with his sword, he actually made up his mind to draw his sword and kill himself when he was finally discovered, and he would never be humiliated. Even if he first arrived in Hangzhou, he learned the best of the chief of the cloth department, but with Yan Yuan in front and Zhu Zhi behind, Wang Fulin still deeply admired the hard bones of these two.
As for Wang Fulin's identity and Huo Zheng's origin, Yan Yuan had already truthfully told him halfway, whether it was Zhang Ning, a eunuch, or Zhu Zheng, a civil official, they were also quite respectful.
Huo Zheng, the old soldier of the Qi family, provided them with a safety guarantee, as for Wang Fulin, a little showman, he could have avoided getting involved in this troubled water, but he came because of the abyss. And listening to Yan Yuan's tone, some of the arrangements outside seem to be people's ideas, the two of them almost fell down this time, how can they not have the slightest feeling if they can't get up again?
When everyone walked out of a door and entered a narrow fire alley with several doors, Zhu Zheng also explained in a low voice that after going out here, it would lead directly to a secluded place at the canal wharf, whether it was Wang Fulin or Yan Yuan, they all breathed a long sigh of relief. But what none of them expected was that at this very moment, four or five people stumbled out of a small door. The first man at the front was still shouting: "Those guys who killed a thousand knives, when did they still think about fighting in the nest, causing a mess in Beixinguan, and they were cheated out by a few rewards, and they didn't know how they died when the time came!" ”
Almost after complaining, he saw the group of people who almost collided head-on with everyone.
As soon as they looked at each other, Wang Fulin recognized Zhong Nanfeng walking in the middle at a glance. Almost instantly, he heard a burst of shouting: "Okay, it's all you dog officials and dog eunuchs!" ”
