Chapter 34: Conflict
Zhang Jizu's injury and coma directly led the situation in front of the door to chaos all of a sudden. The captains, wrestlers, Xiaoqi and others gathered in front of the door were inexplicably subjected to all kinds of strange "attacks".
First, a large block of stone and earth fell from the sky, smashing everyone into a daze; Then a few flat poles suddenly came out of the cracks, beating several brocade guards all over the face, and finally several large buckets of things similar to horse urine, feces and the like were splashed over their heads and faces, and none of the brocade guards in front of the door were spared, even Liao Yongtang also got one.
The scholars were filled with righteous indignation, and the leader Zhang Jizu was stabbed to the ground by Jinyi Wei Qianhu, I don't know if I live or die, is there anything worse than the tyranny in the world! Although they were powerless, the soldiers burst out with strong combat power in an instant, and rushed forward in the face of Jinyiwei's swords and guns, Liang Kang shouted loudly, but his body kept moving in the crowd, and finally appeared at the end of the line. The "people" behind him filled in one after another, waving various "weapons" and following closely behind the soldiers.
The Jinyi guards are not fools, rushing to the front of the team is also a showman, most of them are from a raised background, although there is no official body, but it is the elite class of the Ming Dynasty, usually see the official does not kneel, especially after Wei Zhongxian covered the sky with one hand and monopolized the super-outline, these scholars suddenly had a bright day, and reproduced the influence of Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli at the beginning. In comparison, the life of the factory guards is getting more and more difficult, if these old men are a little damaged, the court will definitely not be sympathetic to these martial artists.
Therefore, Jin Yiwei consciously received the knives, guns, sticks and other things in his hands behind him, and no one wanted to learn from his own thousand households, so he knocked down a man for some reason, and it was inevitable that there would be endless troubles in the future.
Liao Yongtang was covered in dung and water, and when he opened his mouth, a mouth full of fishy things poured in, even so, he had already ignored it, and loudly beckoned his subordinates to guard the door, and planned to send people to the governor's yamen, the political envoy and other places for help.
But the coming of these scholars and people was unexpectedly ferocious, but in two or three strokes, they broke through the barrier of the Jinyi Guards and rushed straight into the Thousand Households.
"The factory guards are tyrannical, and they dare to assassinate me in public, is it because the remnants of Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs are about to resurrect?" Liang Kang was full of righteousness at this time, hugging Zhang Jizu, who fell to the ground and unconscious, while raising his arms and shouting.
Under his inspiration, the scholars and the people couldn't help but be inexplicably sad and indignant, and their fists and sticks rained down on the heads of the "unarmed" Jinyi guards.
Several strong men surrounded Liao Yongtang, and snatched the embroidered spring knife in his hand with one face, "This is the future court testimony, and there are traces of Zhang Gongzi's blood on it, even if the lawsuit is brought to the Jinluan Treasure Palace, we are not afraid!" Several people immediately tied up Liao Yongtang and tied him to the back of the shadow wall, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth.
"Go find the Tartars! The eagle dogs of the Jinyi Guard are not tried, so we will try them today! A voice rang out from the crowd, and the crowd applauded. At this time, more and more people had gathered, and the people of the Quartet heard that Jinyiwei had "opened a killing spree and slaughtered good people", and they all rushed over from all directions.
Liao Yongtang's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, after so many years in the Jinyi Health Office, he knew that these strong men in front of him were definitely from the army. Today's events are definitely not accidental, I was calculated by others.
"It's over, it's over!" Liao Yongtang's eyes darkened.
When he broke into the prison, Tu Shun, who was recuperating from his injuries, was staying in a single cell enjoying a big meal, the whole head of roast suckling sheep, the liquor in the big altar, and two jailers who knew Manchu to serve back and forth, pinching his shoulders and beating his legs, which was more comfortable than in Liao Yongtang's private house, and the fly in the ointment was that there were a few fewer women.
This time, although he was given a piece of work and was caught, Tushun didn't take it seriously, and he followed the Great Khan for many years, and he was fed with silver and women. If it weren't for the Great Khan's attention to the Ning family this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have sent himself, who was also the deputy commander of the guard, to come to Fengyang.
Unexpectedly, it was here that I met a Nanban Han with such good skills. It is estimated that even his brother Ao Bai may not be this person's opponent.
Thinking of this, Tushun was relieved a lot, as a child of the Guerjia clan, he was very clear about his mission and responsibility. Ning Tong had already come to interview him once, since he was already like this, he might as well do one last thing for the Great Khan outside the Guanwai, as long as the matter was successful, it would be logical to kill the two big and small Nanbans who were a potential threat to the Eight Banners, and even if Tushun died, he would die as he deserved.
Tushun accepted this without hesitation. He knew very well that once he died, his brothers and children would be looked at differently by the Great Khan, and they would be regarded as blessings for the family and their descendants.
Tushun was thinking about getting the two jailers to find a way to get a few women in at night, but there was a commotion outside, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps.
"The Tartars are here!" With an angry shout, more than a dozen soldiers broke in with a large group of people.
The two jailers had nowhere to hide, and they didn't know what had happened, so they had to huddle in a corner. Tushun instinctively wanted to find a blade to stand up, but when his body moved, he was paralyzed and weak, and then he remembered the serious injury on his body.
"The thief dared to do this, when Zuo Gongguangdou was framed and imprisoned by Quan Gelding, he was severely punished and mutilated to death. But this tartar is in prison, and there are people waiting for him! ”
The scholars trembled with anger and couldn't help but scold. Min Zhuang on the side arrested the two jailers, and before they could be interrogated, the jailers who were already so frightened that they peed their pants explained clearly. "This is the order of Lord Qianhu, and the little one is just acting on orders!"
One of the strong men arched his hand to the scholars, "Ladies and gentlemen, the villains are illiterate, but they also know the rules of the yamen. The old men recorded the confessions of these two people, asked them to sign and draw them, and they would have an explanation in the future! “
As soon as this sentence came out, the scholars were a little embarrassed, so they immediately took a pen and paper, recorded the confession of the jailer, and asked them to draw it.
"The Tartars, in prison, are still powerful, you are neighbors, everyone is from Beizhili all the way to escape, who has not been bullied by the Tartars, now is the time to complain and take revenge!"
The strong man's words immediately reminded the gathered people, and everyone immediately pulled the half-dead Tushun off the bed and dragged him to the courtyard.
The scholar wanted to stop it, and he also wanted to investigate the collusion between the Tartars and the rich families in Fengyang, but at this time, the crowd was excited, and no one listened to what a few sensible scholars said.
When they arrived at the courtyard, the black crowd outside saw that they had really dragged a tartar out, with a hideous face, and a black and shiny money rat tail dragged behind their heads, and they immediately became noisy.
Tushun's hands and feet did not obey the call, so he could only lie flat on the bluestone slab in the courtyard and look up at the sky. He was dragged all the way out of prison, and several wounds had been cut on the back of his head, and blood was gradually spreading.
Liao Yongtang was also brought to the backyard, and when he saw Tushun at this time, he was even more silent, and his heart was sad. More than a dozen Jinyi Wei Baihu, Xiaoqi and school captains who were captured alive were also brought over, and these people all looked depressed, and their eyes looking at Liao Yongtang were already unkind.
Liang Kang walked up to these people, "Tell you and others that today's event is for our scholars and righteous people to eliminate thieves for the country." God has the virtue of a good life, and if you are willing to write down the ins and outs of Liao Yongtang's collusion with the Tartars, you may have a glimmer of life in the future, and if you don't want to, you will ask for more blessings! “
As soon as these words came out, Jin Yiwei immediately rushed to shout, and even several of Liao Yongtang's henchmen were busy coming out to report and expose them.
Liao Yongtang sighed and didn't speak again.
"Tartar, give me back my child's life!" An old man in a sixtieth armor suddenly stumbled out of the crowd, threw away the wooden staff in his hand, grabbed Tushun tightly with both hands, and even opened his mouth to bite Tushun's face, and ripped off a piece of flesh and skin.
"Give back my family's lives!" There are many refugees in the crowd who have migrated all the way from Beizhili, at this time to see the murderous Tartar without blinking, everyone wants to bleed in their eyes, for a while, everyone roared up, or slashed and stabbed with knives, or just like the old man, he opened his mouth to bite, and stretched out his hand to grab.
Tushun's eyes were dull, and he had no sense of resistance at all, and he didn't expect that he could end up like this.
In an instant, Tu was torn apart by the way, and the entire Jinyi Guard prison compound was filled with a thick smell of blood and blood.
The commotion slowly subsided, and low sobs rang out in the courtyard, and the refugees were finally stuffed with flesh and blood, and they couldn't help but feel sad when they thought of their relatives who died under the Tartar knives. In this scene, even the strong men hidden in the crowd couldn't help but feel a chill.
After settling down, the leader of the strong man looked at Liang Kang not far away, and made a look, and Liang Kang walked in front of the scholars who were a little vomiting. "Ladies and gentlemen, Brother Zhang Nian has been sent for treatment, what should we do next?"
The scholars were a little confused. Yes, the Jinyi Guard Yamen also broke in, Qianhu was also arrested, the Tartars were killed, and the name was also out, but what should I do next?
Liang Kang commanded Ruoding today, and confronted Liao Yongnian several times, and the scholars' impression of him could not help but change greatly, and at this time, someone asked for his opinion.
Liang Kang pondered for a while, "Everyone, I do have a mention." Since Liao Yongnian colluded with the Tartars, the court will investigate it in the future, and there must be some real evidence. Now, we only have the confessions of these brocade guards and jailers, and we don't have strong physical evidence, and once the court investigates it, we will inevitably have to bear some responsibility. “
"What does Brother Liang think, let's listen to you!" At that moment, there were scholars who supported Liang Kang.
"It's very simple, since you've done it, you might as well do it thoroughly. Since Liao Yongtang has something to do with the Tartars, he can't help but leave some evidence, his private house is nearby, you might as well search it and find some envoys who will always deal with the imperial court in the future! ”
The news of the scholars' impact on the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households quickly reached Ning Tong's ears.
Ning Tong instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and Liao Yongtang arranged for a confidant to be responsible for accompanying Ning Tong throughout the whole process, called waiting, but in fact, there was no lack of surveillance.
When the news came, Ning Tong immediately decided to leave Liao's house for a while. Baihu didn't agree, Liao Yongtang was not there, once something happened to Ning Tong and these people, how would he explain.
But Ning Tong didn't talk nonsense with him, and even if he let a few entourages knock out the hundred households, the group packed up the necessary softness and went out of the courtyard where they lived.
Although Liao Yongtang's family members blocked him along the way, even if the skills of these entourages around Ning Tong were not as good as Tu Shun, they were also elite soldiers in the Eight Banners, and they were knocked down one by one and rushed out of the back door of Liao's house.
didn't go far, just turned into an alley, Ning Tong found that the front and back were blocked by people.
The leader was a young man dressed in an arrow suit, with picturesque eyebrows and murderous eyes.
