The crowd came to the residence of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, and the shouts alarmed Hong Chengchou inside. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"What's going on out there, why is it so noisy?" Hong Chengchou was very displeased.

"Lord Qiqi, some people are clamoring outside because they are dissatisfied with the construction of an arsenal outside Taiyuan City." The Central Guard quickly ascertained the situation and came back to report.

"The arsenal is a major military matter, and the people cannot be allowed to question it. You go out and have a look, let them go. Hong Chengchou was very busy and didn't take this matter to heart at all.

The lieutenant officer took the order and went out of the gate, and saw a few hundred men and women, old and young, gathered in front of the door, and kept shouting about stopping the construction of the arsenal or something. In the distance, many people were watching the excitement.

The lieutenant officer stood on the steps and shouted: "Folks, listen to me!" “

The majesty of the officer was still very in charge, and when he saw an officer and soldier standing on the steps shouting out of the door, some people in the team were already weak-hearted, and the shouting voice was quieter, and they all looked up at the middle officer.

"Folks, please go back, where to build the arsenal has its own Governor's decision, don't worry about it." The lieutenant officer looked at the old men and children in front of him, and said well.

Listening to the words of the Chinese officer, people involuntarily retreated. Suddenly, someone in the ranks shouted, "We want to see the Governor." "The major matters related to the life and death of the people in the whole city must be clearly explained." The crowd was in a commotion, pushing and shoving towards the steps, and an old man rushed out of the line without knowing who pushed him, and fell directly in front of the lieutenant officer. The old man was also frightened to death, got up and knelt on the ground, and kept saying: "My lord's life, my lord's life." ”

The lieutenant officer was also stunned, looked at the old man who suddenly pounced in front of him and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

The old man trembled, and had to reply again, and said boldly: "My lord, the little old man is a native of this Taiyuan city, once this arsenal is completed, the tragedy of Wang Gong's factory will not be far away." The emperor of the capital was afraid of the explosion, so he built the arsenal in Taiyuan. We Taiyuan people also have only one life, please give your Excellency the governor and build the arsenal elsewhere. ”

"This arsenal doesn't always explode, the arsenal is now far away from the city, there is no harm to everyone, don't listen to the rumors, go home." The lieutenant officer persuaded everyone with the last patience.

"You are lying, what's the matter with not exploding Wang Gong's factory?" "It's not harmful, why don't you build it in other places, you have to build it in Taiyuan?" "You must be embezzling the money used to build the arsenal, and you don't care about the lives of the people." "We want to see the Governor, we want to see the Governor." The crowd shouted loudly, and the voices of the officers were drowned out.

The Chinese officer was extremely angry, and this was shameless. He took a few steps back and said to the soldiers who were following him, "Go and transfer people, bring the guys, and beat these rebels away for me." “

When the soldiers heard this, they quickly ran back to the governor's quarters, and in a moment a group of officers and men rushed out of the door with swords and guns.

The crowd outside the door noticed the movement of the officers and soldiers, and someone in the team shouted: "Oh no, the officers and soldiers have beaten people." It caused confusion in the whole procession, and the people did not care to receive the money, and turned their heads and ran, and some of them were knocked to the ground, and the people behind were trampled on it desperately, and immediately there was a wail, and the crowd in front of the gate ran away after a while, leaving only the shoes that had been stepped on and other messy debris.

Zhang Chu, who was watching the progress of things in the restaurant in the distance, couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "The people of this session can't do it, why didn't they run away before they were beaten, they should rely on the officials and soldiers." However, he also understood that the official army was really beating the people, and if he didn't run faster, he might lose his life.

The officer in front of the door pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "What a group of cheap bones, they don't listen to good words and persuasions, and they don't know if they are beaten to be afraid." He ordered the soldiers to look at the door, and the lieutenant officer himself went to the governor to reply to him.

After listening to the report of the Chinese officer, Hong Chengchou waved his hand to let him step down, at this time Hong Chengchou was really upset, he didn't even want to say much, he couldn't afford to build an arsenal and the vassal king, and all kinds of pressure from the magnates, and now even the ordinary people came to make trouble.

The lieutenant officer withdrew, and had not gone far when he heard another commotion outside the gate. The Chinese officer hurriedly ran to the door, these poor people who did not want to die were quite bold, they were not beaten just now, and now they are coming again. This time the catch will not break their legs, so that they will not dare to come again.

When he came to the door and saw that there were not many people coming this time, only a few dozen people, the Chinese officer thought that it would be better to deal with fewer people, and was about to order the sergeant outside the door to run away in the future, but it felt wrong to take a closer look. There were not many people who came, but they were all neatly dressed, all dressed in blue robes, long robes mopping the floor, large sleeves fluttering, and square scarves on their heads, standing there in cool poses, shouting to see the Governor.

The Chinese officer saw that these people were some scholars who were studying, and he didn't dare to offend easily, so he had to go over and talk carefully: "Gentlemen, don't be impatient, you can tell me something." “

"What's the use of telling you, we want to see the Governor, we can't let the arsenal occupy the Wenqu position in Taiyuan and cut off the wisdom of all scholars." Those who read don't take the warriors in their eyes at all. Even if they are Chinese officers, these military attaches are not noble in the eyes of Xiucai.

"Everyone, wait a minute, I'll go to the Governor." Although it was said that Xiucai was unreasonable when he met the soldiers, the Chinese officer looked at this group of scholars and knew that he couldn't say anything about them, and he couldn't fight them, so the matter had to be solved by the Governor.

The lieutenant officer trotted all the way inside, and stood in front of him with an angry face on his face.

"Why can't you even do such a small thing?" Hong Chengchou asked dissatisfiedly. A Chinese officer can't even solve the trouble of a few ordinary people, what else can he do.

"My lord, the troublemakers have all run away, and this time it is some scholars who are clamoring to see the governor." The Chinese officer hurriedly explained, don't let the adults think that they are not doing a good job.

"Scholar, what did they say?" Hong Chengchou asked unhappily, thinking about what these scholars were coaxing.

"The scholars said that the current location of the arsenal occupies the Wenqu position in Taiyuan, and the wisdom of the scholars is broken. I have to make a noise to see you. "The Chinese officer said in his heart that I can't afford to mess with these people, so it's better for you to solve it.

"It's just nonsense, where did so many rumors come from. These scholars are also stupid at reading, and they believe everything. Tell the two leaders to come in to me. "Hong Chengchou has a head and two big, and the status of these scholars in the Ming Dynasty is still very high, even if he is the governor of the three sides, he must be polite to these scholars, otherwise he will be attacked by the officials.
