Chapter 5 Raid on the Rice Store (II)
"My lord, the lower officials are incompetent, and the soldiers and horses sent to seal up Yunsheng Rice Company, Li Ji Rice Company, and Fulai Rice Company have all been beaten out, and more than 30 people have been injured. What should be done in this matter, I hope the adults will show you. ”
Guo Yigang sent soldiers and horses to seize the rice shops in the city, and the other small merchants were still going well, but how could the three major rice shops put the soldiers and horses guarding the yamen in their eyes, not only the people who went to seal up the Fulai rice store were driven away, but also went to seize the Li Ji rice store and the Yunsheng rice store, which was also the same result.
The three generals didn't dare to really move the guy, so they could only rush back to the yamen to report to Guo Yigang, Guo Yigang was also a timid and afraid master, and he pondered in his heart, this matter can't come out by himself, it's better to go to the governor. So, he came to the prefect's yamen as soon as possible and reported the beating of his subordinates to Yue Su.
After listening to this, Yue Su slapped the coffee table and said angrily: "What a waste, you have thousands of soldiers and horses guarding the yamen, and you can't even seal up just three rice rows, what are you doing to eat?" This matter will be written down for you for the time being, and if you are still unable to take on a big responsibility in the future, you will be severely punished. ”
Yue Su is now the commander of the light pole in the city, and his guards have not arrived, and they are still counting on the garrison yamen to work, so Guo Yigang has not been punished. He then said loudly: "Raise the people of the headquarters and the courtyard, and the headquarters will personally seal it up!" ”
"Yes, yes......" Guo Yigang waited for Yue Su's words. If you offend people, you should go in person, so that those of us who are small can have less to do with it.
The men and horses were quickly ready, a full thousand people, and followed Yue Su to Fulaimi Xing. Yue Su personally went out, Guo Yigang and the prefect Meng Huade of course had to follow, and the group rushed to the outside of Fulaimi Xing. Yue Su gave an order, the soldiers lined up in formation, and heard Yue Su say: "Shout loudly for me, and tell the people of Mi Xing to get out of here!" ”
In fact, after the people of Mi Xing drove away the soldiers, the guys were cleaning up in the front room, and they had already seen a large number of officers and soldiers coming, and in terms of numbers, it was several times that of just now. The man with the organic spirit immediately turned around and went in to report to the shopkeeper, but he couldn't run into the hall, and the shouts of the soldiers rang out.
"Listen to the people of Mixing, hurry up and get out, the governor has arrived!"
Thousands of people shouted, this voice was earth-shattering, not to mention that the people in the rice line heard it clearly, and the people around the neighbors heard it even more clearly. Some people already knew that the officers and soldiers went to raid the rice shop just now and were kicked out, but now there are more people coming, and they are all so frightened that they honestly squat in the house, how dare they go out to see the excitement. There was the one who was bold, only opened the window, and when he saw the dense officers and soldiers standing outside, he hurriedly closed the window.
The shopkeeper of Mi Xing is called Bai Tang, and he is sitting leisurely in the hall and drinking tea at the moment, still proud of the fact that he has just driven away the official army. At first glance, I heard the screams and scolding like a landslide and tsunami, and I was scared. Immediately after, the guy ran in, "Shopkeeper, the big thing is not good, there are many officers and soldiers outside, several times more than just now, and the outside of the rice line has been tightly blocked." ”
", it's so daring, dare to go wild in front of King Fu's shop. Lao Tzu went out to have a look and shouted out all the people inside! Bai Tang stood up and swaggered out of the hall.
Those nurses and laborers had just returned to the backyard, and the shouts outside were clearly heard, and they understood that the officers and soldiers had come to the door again. Many of the guards were transferred from the palace, and they were very horizontal in Luoyang City, and they had never seen anyone dare to provoke King Fu. I wondered in my heart, what kind of gust of wind is this today, and there are still people who have such courage.
The guy came over to say hello, and everyone hurriedly ran to the front, and walked out of the rice line with the big white shopkeeper. As soon as I walked out of the store, I saw that the door of the store was full of soldiers with weapons in hand, and this formation really frightened many people.
The white shopkeeper is a pampered master, and when he went out, he shouted loudly: "What are you shouting, calling for mourning, don't you know whose door this is?" Do you dare to come here to spread wild, don't you want to live? ”
Yue Su sneered and said, "I want to ask, whose door is this?" ”
"This rice shop is the business of Fuwang Chitose, which green onion are you?" Bai Tang saw that Yue Su was not wearing the official mansion, and he didn't pay attention to it.
Yue Su waved his hand very indifferently and said, "Lord Guo, you tell him who the headquarters is." ”
Guo Yigang hurriedly said: "White shopkeeper, this is the new governor of Henan, Lord Yue. ”
Everyone is mixed in the same city, Guo Yigang and Meng Huade know Bai Tang, and Bai Tang also knows them, but Bai Shopkeeper has always relied on the affairs of King Fu, and he always does not take these local parents and officials in his eyes.
Hearing that Yue Su was the new governor of Henan, Bai Tang looked at Yue Su seriously, was a little polite, and said, "It turned out to be the new governor, I don't know what the adults have to say to the store?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that the disaster is serious now, and the headquarters urgently needs food to help the victims, so we have to requisition all the food from your number. Please make it easier. Yue Su said lukewarmly.
"If you want to requisition the grain of our rice shop, it's not impossible, bring the silver. If there is no silver, it is a dream. Bai Tang said with a chuckle.
"The silver is easy to say, the imperial court has allocated 300,000 taels of silver to come to the disaster relief, and it will arrive soon. However, at present, the victims of the disaster are displaced and have no way to eat, so the headquarters and hospitals have to collect food in advance, and when the money arrives, it will be paid immediately. Yue Su said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, without the order of the prince, the villain will not dare to lend the grain on credit, if the adult wants to requisition first, then go and consult the prince first. As long as the prince agrees, I will immediately give the grain in the rice row. Bai Tang said lightly.
"On the prince's side, the headquarters will notify you, but the situation is tense and urgent. Today, this grain must be requisitioned and transferred by the Ministry and the Academy. Yue Su's voice gradually became louder.
"This adult, without the permission of the prince, the villain is helpless. I think you should go to the prince first to talk about this......" Bai Tang opened and closed his mouth to put King Fu on his lips, he didn't believe it, the other party really dared to rob it.
What kind of temper did Yue Su have, and said loudly: "Since your bank is unwilling to make it convenient, then the headquarters has no choice but to offend." Come on, seal up the rice shop! After speaking, he waved his hand.
"Yes!" The soldiers agreed, and the gesture was about to move forward.
Bai Tang saw that the other party really dared to make a move, and immediately shouted angrily: "You dare!" You don't look at what kind of place this is, and you dare to seize the grain here. This adult, I advise you to take it easy, once you anger my prince, you won't be able to eat and walk around! ”
"What kind of place is this? Isn't it the place of the imperial court? You keep saying that you only talk about your prince, then the ministry wants to ask you, is this what your prince said, or is it what Banzai said today? Yue Su asked sharply.
"Nature...... Naturally, it is the ...... of what the emperor said, "Baitang is not stupid, and he will not dare to say that the prince is better than what the emperor said." But this guy is also clever, and immediately added, "But at this moment, Banzai is not here." ”
"Humph! Is it? Yue Su snorted coldly and said loudly: "Where is the golden cicada?" ”
"The subordinates are here!" Jin Cicada agreed, held Shang Fang's sword, and came to Yue Su's side.
Yue Su copied Shang Fang's sword, raised it high, and said loudly: "This is the emperor's imperial gift Shang Fang's sword, such as His Majesty's personal visit!" ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" …… Yue Su raised Shang Fang's sword, Guo Yigang and Meng Huade around him hurriedly knelt down, long live the mountain, and the soldiers and messengers under the two adults saw that their adults were kneeling, and their faces were busy kneeling, and they shouted.
When Bai Tang on the opposite side saw this scene, he also knew that it was powerful, and he didn't dare not kneel, so he could only kneel with him. The same is true of the men under him, who saw him kneel, and fell down with him.
"The Ministry was ordered by the Son of Heaven to be the minister of the Qin Mission, and the governor of Henan had the right to act cheaply. Now the disaster is serious, and there is an urgent need for grain and rice relief, and all the grain of Fulai Rice Bank is now requisitioned. After Yue Su finished speaking, he strode in front of Bai Tang, pulled out his sword suddenly, pressed it on his shoulder, and said coldly: "The Ministry has been ordered to requisition your food for Fulai Mixing, do you think it will work?" ”
"This ...... This ...... "Shang Fang's sword can be cut first and then played, of course Bai Tang knows, and he doesn't dare to be arrogant now, for fear of angering this adult, he will be cut by a sword, and there is no place to reason. But he gave the grain to Yue Su on credit without authorization, and he was afraid that King Fu would be angry and blame himself. In a dilemma, I had to bite the bullet and say: "My lord, the villain really can't be the master of this matter, Fuwang Chitose ...... there."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Yue Su raised his leg and kicked him to the ground, and said angrily: "The Ministry is now ordered to collect grain, and I only ask you whether you are willing or not, where do you come from so much nonsense." If you don't want to, the ministry will cut you down for the crime of bullying the king, and then go to the court! ”
Seeing that Yue Su was hard, Bai Tang was really afraid that the other party would do it, so he resignedly said: "Since the adults are ordered to collect grain, how dare the villain refuse, the adults will requisition." It's just that...... It's just the silver for buying grain, when the adults cash it out, the villain goes back, and he has an explanation for the prince. ”
"It's not up to you to worry about this, when the money arrives, it will be handed over to your lord. If your prince is in a hurry, you can go to the household department to ask for it. After speaking, Yue Su asked sharply again: "Just now, the headquarters sent someone to come to collect food, who ordered it to beat the officers and soldiers of the imperial court without authorization?" ”
"The villain doesn't know...... I don't know that the lord was ordered to be recruited, so he gave the order...... "Seeing that Yue Su mentioned this matter again, Bai Tang could only try his best to shirk the responsibility.
"Hehe......" Yue Su sneered and said, "I don't know that the Ministry of Command was ordered to collect grain, is that an excuse for you to beat the officers and soldiers of the imperial court without authorization?" If everyone used this excuse to beat the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, there would be chaos in the world. Don't you know that openly gathering people to confront the officers and soldiers of the imperial court is tantamount to rebellion? ”
"But...... But they came in to seize our rice shop, and we did the same...... Also...... In order to preserve the prince's food......" Bai Tang explained.
"According to what you say, for the sake of your lord's food, you can ignore the court and confront the officers and soldiers of the court? It is also true that the Ministry of Courtyard sees that you are taking advantage of the power of King Fu and does not take the officers and soldiers of the court in your eyes. If evil slaves like you are not punished properly, will not the laws of the land be lost? Today, the ministry will look at the face of King Fu and take you lightly, I hope you will do it yourself! Come on, pull this guy aside, and take the forty boards seriously! ”
The officers and soldiers on Yue Su's side saw that Yue Su was resolute and resolute, and they were all in awe and awe, but they didn't dare to act rashly, and they all looked at their own officials.
Guo Yigang and Meng Huade didn't want to take on this relationship, they looked at each other, and they were waiting for the other party to send someone.
Jin Chan has been on an errand under Yue Su for so long, and the way of the government has also understood a little, knowing the thoughts of these two, and said: "Two adults, my family has already spoken, you will not dare to disobey the order." I don't think it's as good as two people from one family on both sides. ”
Broken by Jin Cicada's thoughts, Guo Yigang and Meng Huade knew that they couldn't stay still, so they sent two people up and dragged Bai Tang aside.
The thugs under Bai Tang had already been suppressed by Yue Su, and they watched the shopkeeper being dragged away, and none of them dared to stop them, but they still knelt on the ground honestly.
