Chapter 183: Burning Peach Blossom Dock

Guozhang is bold, but he doesn't know that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are even bolder, and the film and television works of later generations are in power in the Ming Dynasty at every turn, and the people are not happy, but they don't say a word about the things such as reading people resisting taxes and impacting the government.

Mingren himself admits that [Shilin is a good thing, likes to gather and insults Youji.] He was good at compiling scripts and current texts, satirizing officials] and saying that [the morale was weak and evil, especially in Wuzhong], he organized his neighbors at every turn, used township commentaries, and expanded them through songs, plays, and novels, and finally achieved the goal of openly getting officials out of office, and some even beat officials.

For example, once many cities in the south of the Yangtze River reach the time when the supply of rice and grain is not available, there will be students who will spontaneously organize themselves, including Qinglou girls, small traders, workers and idlers on the street, and take these people to attack the government and demand that the government release grain.

Why Jiangnan can't eat rice every year, this question is not to be said for the time being, this kind of show talent takes the lead in making trouble almost every year, and the final result is often a compromise between the government and the government, such as the later [Donglin] and [Fushe], all of which grew up in this situation.

These many things are the reason why later experts think that the bourgeoisie sprouted at the end of the Ming Dynasty, whether the bud sprouts or not, this is left to experts to discuss, but it is certain that the biggest force in the Ming Dynasty is not the eunuch party, what brocade and the like are not worth mentioning, the biggest force is the official and business community.

Zheng Guozhang underestimated the courage of the scholar, and immediately had to suffer, in the dense crowd at the door of Zheng's house, he heard someone shouting, this person is the country's annihilator, smash!

For a while, all kinds of rubble mixed with old vegetable skins flew towards Zheng Liancheng like a rain, or the single master didn't look good, immediately pulled out a knife and rushed to the front, a knife danced into a ball, and for a while, the ground was full of rubble, even so, Zheng Liancheng's forehead was also hit by a stone, blood flowed for a long time, and the blood on his face looked so terrifying.

At this time, Wang Hu, who took the whistle stick and followed the side, immediately threw the whistle stick, shouted the old man to go, even pushed and pulled, and dragged Zheng Liancheng back to the house, the single master danced with a knife flower, shouted to close the door, the Zheng family hurriedly went to cover the door, and finally left a crack, the single master at this time stomped through the crack in the door to enter, the people hurriedly closed the door, as soon as the door was closed, I heard a fluttering sound outside, thinking that countless rubble and masonry smashed on the door.

Zheng Liancheng covered his head, his face turned white with anger, and he asked himself that he had never done anything wrong, but he didn't want these people to ...... At this time, I heard someone outside shouting, "Everyone, all the ranks, below is Wu Kaixi, a scholar of Ningbo Mansion, today we are attacking this Zheng Mansion, that is a petition for the people, a feat of eliminating Qi for the country, in other words, this Zheng Qi bullying men and women is all evil, how innocent is Luo Yufeng's girl, and Mr. Geng, who told the story, was beaten to death by the Zheng family, who has no parents and children?" We should do this feat for the sake of heaven......"

When Zheng Liancheng heard this, he trembled with anger and muttered: "Diao Min, Diao Min." ”

Thousands of people were instigated by him, and some people shouted at the moment, "Lie in the mud of the Gobi, let's set fire to his house."

Everyone responded, and some people rushed around at the moment, and in a flash, the elegant thatched hut built by the obedient official in the peach forest was demolished, and as for the plaque of the sword house, it was stepped into pieces, and the materials of the thatched hut were made into countless torches, and I don't know where to find the oil or whether these people had prepared it in advance, and they immediately poured it on it.

Shan Chixia's nose suddenly sniffed, and immediately shouted, "It's not good, the smell of fire oil." Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru immediately stretched out their hands and dragged Zheng Liancheng, "Uncle Zheng, don't wait for me, let's go through the back door first, and there will always be a plan in the future." ”

"I'm not leaving." Zheng Liancheng was so angry that one Buddha was born, and the second Buddha was nirvana, "Where do I put my old face when I leave?" I've become a bully of men and women, so it's better to die and wait for the good official to come back to avenge me. ”

This is naturally angry talk, Dong Qichang grabbed his arm, "Uncle, this matter is clearly someone making trouble behind his back, let's always think long-term." As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Jiru, and the two of them dragged him and dragged him, and he dragged Zheng Liancheng to the back.

This time, it was too late to clean up the softness of the house, and the crowd arrived at the third entrance, and countless torches drenched with fire oil in front of them were thrown into the Zheng Mansion.

When he arrived at the back door, Zheng Liancheng saw his wife and sister holding Ruohe, the youngest of the seven fairies, and was looking anxiously, and when he saw that he seemed to have a better face, he was immediately furious, "Mei Niang, why don't you leave." ”

Ai Mei Niang cried, "Brother-in-law, I, I ......" for a while, but it seemed to be a little girl who didn't know the world when her sister first married, looking at her eyebrows moving lightly, Yingying wanted to cry, Zheng Liancheng sighed gloomily, broke away from Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru's hands, walked over quickly and bent down to pick up the sixth Ruojuan, and said to the eldest Ruoyu, you are a sister, you have to watch your sisters tightly, do you know.

Ruoyu had faint tears in her eyes, but she nodded desperately, but Ruo Ruo was crying as usual, aunt and father, why did those bad people burn our house!

Zheng Liancheng sighed, turned his head and said to Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian, you help Ruoyu take care of it. Xiao Qian nodded again and again, but she was also anxious in her heart.

The family went out from the back door in a panic, but they didn't want to be blocked by a hundred and ten people as soon as they came out, and they heard someone shouting, this annihilator is going to flee and kill him!

At least half of these 100 people are idlers on the street, all holding sticks in their hands, and they immediately surrounded them, and the single master rushed over, punched the next one, kicked the next one, was hugged from behind, and screamed with both arms, and suddenly shook one, but the hero's fists are invincible with four hands, the key is that he can't kill his hands, after all, these people are not Tartars, nor are they Japanese cowards, for a while, they were surrounded by dozens of people in the middle.

Zheng Liancheng's eyes widened angrily, and it seemed that it was the time when Jiubian and Tuman Khan were fighting again, so he immediately put down Ruojuan, snatched a whistle stick from the family next to him, and shouted, "Chixia, I'm here to help you." ”

As mentioned earlier, Daddy Zheng also killed people and saw blood all the way and Shan Chixia fled back to Daming from the territory of the Tartars, and later learned two ways with Shan Chixia. Surrounded by the Zheng family, Ai Mei Niang saw it, her body shook, and she almost fainted.

For a while, the scene was really chaotic, Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru were useless at this time, and they could only shout in their hearts that they were useless scholars, and they were anxious to be protected by the Zheng family.

There were many people in a panic, Xiao Qian dragged Ruoyi with one hand and Ruochang with the other, staggered in the crowd, Ruoyi suddenly slipped under her feet, fell down, Xiaoqian herself was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, and under being dragged down, the three people rolled the gourd and generally dragged one by one and fell to the ground, Ruoyi immediately cried, crying and shouting at the eldest cousin, tears and snot on her face.

At this time, a man suddenly came out of the peach forest next to him, holding a stick in his hand, and when he saw the three people, his face suddenly smiled, and he should make a fortune, and immediately hit Ruochang who was closest to him with a stick on his head.

Xiao Qian watched the stick come down, and in a hurry, it burst out with incredible power, and she fell down as usual, but the stick happened to hit her calf, and she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her leg, and cold sweat was dripping down her forehead.

Practicing martial arts pays attention to one eye, six ways and ears to listen to all directions, here to say that the most uncomfortable is Shan Chixia Shan Master, just now Zheng Liancheng vomited a mouthful of blood, at this time out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Qian being hit on the leg with a stick, it was true, the Buddha was also angry.

Angry shouted, he didn't keep his hand, a man on the opposite side hugged his head and a stick down, he didn't avoid it, caught it with one hand, and heard a click, the man was twisted off his arm by him, raised his foot, stepped directly on the leg, and there was a crisp sound of broken bones, this kick was angry and shot, extraordinarily heavy, and stepped on the face bone, and the thigh and calf were suddenly twisted into a weird shape, and the man immediately fainted in pain.

The idlers around were all stunned, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, Master Shan didn't spare his hand, and the swimming fish generally squeezed around in the crowd, grabbing one that was either a broken leg or a broken arm.

And just when Xiao Qian fell as usual, she killed another group of people from behind the peach forest, each carrying a water and fire stick in their hands, this is not a whistle stick, it is the standard weapon of the government officials.

If the whistle stick is a civilian self-defense pistol, then this water and fire stick is definitely equivalent to a police miniature submachine gun, powerful and heavy, wooden and strong, a pick-up, it is a whining sound, the Zheng family's hearts sank, seven or eight men with a whistle stick barely protected their aunt and other people in the middle, these people in the hands of the water and fire stick smashed seven or eight times, the whistle stick will be broken.

These people rushed to the front, but they were not as the descendants of the Zheng family thought, they rushed into those idlers all the way, slashing left and right, breaking the wind and whining strangely, beating those idlers into ghosts and wolves.

Originally, Master Shan had a black hand and broke the hands and feet of more than a dozen idle men, which had already shocked them, and these men rushed in, and suddenly became the last straw that crushed the camel, an idle man shouted, threw away the stick and turned his head to run, one ran away by example, and the rest of the people immediately made a hula and did the birds and beasts scattered, and more than 20 men on the ground staggered, which was broken by Master Shan.

Zheng Liancheng was panting with a stick, Ai Meiniang ran over with the corner of her skirt and hugged his arm, couldn't help it, tears rolled down.

Guozhang still has to pretend to be a good man, and he barely holds up a smile, "What are you crying about, you are now the mother of seven children, and you still think you are twelve or thirteen years old!" ”

Ai Meiniang's face was slightly red, and she quickly reached out to wipe her tears, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably.

At this time, among the second group of men who rushed over, a fat man crawled over with a rolling belt, put the water and fire stick in his hand on the ground, and fell to the ground, "The villain knocks on the master." ”

When Zheng Liancheng saw him, he was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized, stretched out a finger, and nodded, "Are you ...... Hippopotamus...... Hippopotamus ......"

The fat man's face was covered with oil and sweat, and his face suddenly showed joy, "The villain is He Ma Xiang, the old man of the country is good at remembering the surname, and he still remembers the villain's name." ”

"Liancheng, you're okay!" Shan Chixia walked over, for a while, but forgot more than ten years of humility, Zheng Liancheng reached out and wiped the blood stains on his lips, and smiled heartily, as if he was a hero who rolled back from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain of the land of Tuman Khan, "Brother Chixia, you haven't called your little brother like that for fifteen years." ”

Shan Chixia's old face immediately turned red, and at this time, Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru walked over quickly, "Uncle Zheng, this is not the place to speak, let's leave first before it's too late." ”

Zheng Liancheng looked at He Ma Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed, this Yan family and our Zheng family are really fateful, I thought that I would no longer have contact, but I didn't expect that I owed another favor.

At this time, the big-footed mother-in-law and maids below picked up Ruo Yiruo as usual, and helped Xiao Qian, Shan Chixia looked at it in the past, couldn't help frowning, and secretly annoyed, he didn't kill people for many years, but his heart was soft, he should have been ruthless a long time ago, even if he killed more than a dozen, there would be no such situation now, Xiao Qian's legs ...... When the good official comes back in the future, how will I explain.

He immediately called a big-footed woman to carry Xiao Qian, and He Ma was sharp-eyed, so he immediately got up and shouted: "The villain is leading the way, all the lords and grandmothers, please come with the villain." ”

The essence of this Taohuawu was built by the Yan family back then, the Zheng family came from Daxing County, never imagined that there would be such a situation in Jiangnan, but this kind of thing is not uncommon in Jiangnan, the Yan family secretly has a path leading to the seaside, this is the case, and then the house was half sold and half given to Zheng Chengguan, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen, this is the reign of the dynasty!

In short, [***] Yan Dazhang already had nothing to do with the Zheng family, but this time, he was involved with the Zheng family again.

He Ma Xiang and the Yan family's family escorted the Zheng family all the way to the sea, out of the Xu land, the Zheng family turned their heads to look, only to see the Zheng Mansion fire, the smoke rushed straight to Xiao Han, for a while, all eyes with tears, the horseman Wang Hu and others even scolded loudly, these plague killers, the Bodhisattva will tell them to go to hell.

The Zheng family turned back step by step, and finally arrived at the beach, there was already a boat docked on the beach, after the boat sent all the Zheng family to the big boat, there were maids and women waiting for the grandmothers and ladies to freshen up, in the largest cabin of the sea ship, Zheng Liancheng looked at Shan Chixia next to him, and sighed, "Hey! This favor is too much to owe again. ”

As he was talking, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties walked quickly into the cabin decorated with a living room, it was the head of the Yan family, [***] Yan Dazhang.

In this way, when the two sides meet again, this identity is completely different, Yan Dazhang immediately fell to the bottom, "Late [***], I have seen Guozhang." ”

"Ship Master Yan, please get up quickly." Zheng Liancheng hurriedly went over to drag him, and when the two met, they were very emotional, when Zheng Liancheng met Yan Dazhang for the first time, he was still a tuberculosis ghost, but now he is a relative of the emperor, and Yan Dazhang was still the leading maritime merchant in Ningbo Mansion at that time, but now he is obviously defeated, of course, the so-called defeat is only compared with his own before, in the eyes of others, it is still Zhong Mingding's family.

Helping Yan Dazhang up, Zheng Liancheng said: "This time, it is another loss to your Yan family, the so-called great kindness is not grateful......"

Yan Dazhang hurriedly shook his hand, where would he dare to accept such words now, "Guozhang's words are wrong, when Uncle Guo went to sea alone, he really worked hard for the affairs of my Yan family, that is the great kindness and my Yan family, and now I just talk about it, and I don't deserve a great favor from Guozhang." ”

Zheng Liancheng is still polite, but Yan Dazhang refuses to let go of this mouth, the so-called Shengmi Endou Mi Hatred, where does he dare to be the benefactor of the Guozhang family, he will bite it to death, Zheng Chengguan has saved my Yan family before, my Yan family is repaying the favor this time, and I haven't repaid it yet.

Seeing Yan Dazhang so persistent, Zheng Liancheng knew it in his heart, so he sighed, "Brother Dazhang really has the style of a gentleman." Yan Dazhang didn't even dare to say it.

Yan Dazhang also got the news a long time ago, if Chai Miqiang wanted to kill Zheng Guozhang first, how could he not know about the ups and downs in Ningbo! Therefore, he paid close attention to it, and when someone gathered thousands of people to storm the Zheng Mansion, he hurriedly asked He Ma Xiang to take the elite family to the Zheng Mansion to save people, and he put the big ship on the sea, and waited for the Guozhang family to get on the ship.

Of course, if you speculate with the heart of a villain, the Yan family will inevitably be suspected of selling well, that is, as the saying goes, the price starts from the ground, and the best price is sold at the most critical time.

At this time, the next person served fragrant tea, and Yan Dazhang accompanied Zheng Liancheng to eat tea, and now Zheng Liancheng's identity is very different, but even the old housekeeper of the Yan family is not qualified to accompany him.

After drinking two sips of tea, Zheng Liancheng's mind settled down at this time, and then he felt that his heart was hot, so he coughed twice, and Yan Dazhang hurriedly asked, is the national abbot sick!

"I was hit hard in the back by a Diao Min with a stick, and I vomited a mouthful of blood." Zheng Liancheng couldn't help but be angry, Yan Dazhang hurriedly called someone to ask for a doctor, this is what Shan Chixia said, or I will go ashore to ask for it!

He told Xiao Qian that her calf was broken by a stick in order to save people, and at the end he blamed himself with a face, "It's all my fault, I should have killed a few people early to open the eyes of those people at that time." As he spoke, his face was full of murderous aura, as if it was qualitative, which made Yan Dazhang shudder, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, it was rolled out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses.

"Master Chixia." Yan Dazhang arched his hand, now Shan Chixia is not an ordinary housekeeper, people have hugged Concubine De since she was a child, and she is from Qi Shaobao's account, maybe one day the emperor will be able to send a general soldier or something like that to entrust him with important tasks, where does he dare to treat it as an ordinary housekeeper, "Let me say a word." ”

"Brother Dazhang, please speak." Zheng Liancheng stretched out his hand to ask him to speak.

Yan Dazhang subconsciously coughed dryly, and said the beginning and end of the place, and said at the end: "In short, this life is already a common practice in Wu Di, and it is every year, but this time it is particularly serious, and I didn't expect these people to dare to storm the mansion of the abbot and burn the mansion with a fire." However, according to the previous practice, it is basically impossible to deal with it, these students are the pillars of the country in the future, and they have an intertwined relationship with the officials who are now in power, and besides, the law does not hold the people accountable, and if they really kill people, it will be difficult to do. ”
