"This official knows that there are all of you people, including shopkeepers, account rooms, and men, and even Sister Yao...... Hehe, it's really an eye-opener for this official, but it doesn't matter, you all have a common identity, that is, Dongnu's fine work.

Don't be in a hurry to deny it, the official will not talk to you in the future, and the official will let these torture instruments come and talk to you. You will soon appear, what kind of chili water is usually used in the yamen, the tiger chair is all trivial, there are many means that you can't even dream of, and the custody will open your eyes, and you will happily tell us all your things. Okay, now who's going to try it first? Oh...... This old gentleman with a goatee, I heard that you are always a bookkeeper, I wonder if you can still pick up a pen and settle accounts after losing your nails, I am curious, how about letting you try this iron tongs? ”

Jiang He was already gloomy, but when he opened his mouth to laugh, it was even more creepy. Standing in the cell at this time, he looked even more gloomy against the background of the torture instruments hanging on the wall behind him, and the people in front of him were not loyal people, and the old man who looked like a tent knelt on the ground with a pop before he was tortured. The crotch was wet directly, and he kowtowed directly and said, "My lord, I'll recruit ...... Can't I recruit yet? ”

Three quarters of an hour later, a detailed transcript arrived in Jiang He's hand, he took the transcript expressionlessly and looked at it, nodded silently, and then said lightly: "Next!" ”

Soon, a woman who was originally very beautiful, but at this time her face was dazzled by snot and tears, Jiang He knew that this kind of work was likely to last a few days, and he and his subordinates did not want to rest during these few days......

With the current situation in Hunyuan City, the disappearance of a few people is not a big deal, and it will not cause any sensation, and the strike continues. The strike was still going on, and many businessmen immediately thought that Yue Yang was just a character who was just a strong and introverted character after seeing that Yue Yang had only posted a notice and had no follow-up actions, and their courage became even bigger.

On December 13 of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the date specified in the notice had passed, but none of the shops in the city had resumed normal business, and no merchant had asked the commander to know the yamen, even if the owners of some small shops wanted to secretly command the yamen, they were quickly surrounded and beaten by some ruffians and hooligans. And smashed their shop to the ground, so that no one dared to reopen the market.

In these days, it has become customary for the merchants to lead their men, shopkeepers, and scholars from several academies to gather at the entrance of the prefect's office every day. Early every morning, hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of the prefect's office, holding banners and shouting slogans, and some scholars and scholars even quoted scriptures to openly criticize Yueyang's forcible tax collection.

Jiang Xin, the prefect of Hunyuan Prefecture, still used the excuse of being ill to hide in the prefect's yamen and did not come out. Except for those on duty, no one from the prefect's yamen went to the streets to inspect the streets, which also caused the merchants and scholars to be even more unscrupulous. In these days, they actually moved tables, stools, large umbrellas and other things to the entrance of the prefect's office, and it seems that they plan to hold on for a long time.

Today, hundreds of businessmen and scholars are still gathered at the entrance of the prefect's office, and several scholars and instructors led by Jia Zizhen, a scholar and politician, are impassionedly criticizing the forced tax collection policy implemented by Yueyang. And in the audience, Fang Yingdi and other businessmen and scholars were applauding them.

"Rich and sought; Even if I am a whipper, I will do it. If you can't ask for it, do what I like. I love money, bright love, a gentleman loves money in a good way, but the court is clever to take the profits of merchants is for the tyrannical government, our generation should rise up to resist this kind of behavior, we have a penny and a penny for our hard work. How can you give it to others for no reason......"

Standing on a podium set up with a makeshift table, Jia Zizhen was spitting and expressing his opinions, and a group of scholars were applauding loudly, and they were all triumphant at this time, as if they had foreseen victory and recruited them again. They also firmly believe that the final victory must be theirs.

At this time, Jia Zizhen had already been talking for half an hour, and he felt a little thirsty, walked off the stage, picked up the teacup on the table and took a few sips, and was about to return to the stage to continue his tirade. Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of me.

"Help, help!"

"Come on, kill someone!"

Jia Zizhen couldn't help but look back in amazement, and now more than a dozen green-skinned gangsters at the corner of the street not far away were running towards him desperately. And these people all looked terrified, as if they were being chased by some flood beast.

"Huh...... What are these green skins doing? ”

Mr. Jia, who was interrupted by these green skins, glared at these green skins very unhappily, and jumped onto the stage with an agile skill that did not match his age, and shouted: "Wu Na thief, what are you all doing, we are here to talk about the affairs of the imperial court, can you rats like you come to disturb?" ”

"Exactly, rats hurry up and go away!"

"Insult my eyes!"

Historically, these gangsters and hooligans who have been at the bottom of society have always been looked down upon, and the Ming Dynasty was no exception, not to mention those scholars who claimed to be the elite of society, and they waved their sleeves one by one as if they could drive these green skins away.

But instead of leaving, these green skins crawled up to them with a faster degree. Jia Zizhen was about to catch fire, but saw a Wei Qingpi kneeling down and crying: "Ladies and gentlemen, something is wrong, the officers and soldiers have entered the city!" ”

"What...... Officers and soldiers killed? ”

The scholars burst into laughter, and Wang Chenglin, who was standing next to Jia Zizhen, knew Qingpi, these people were the gangsters they hired to post anonymous notices and beat up the small traders who dared to reopen the market, he immediately shouted: "A bunch of nonsense, where are the officers and soldiers, you dare to deceive us in the market, beware that we will send you to the official and beat you up." ”

"No...... No, sir, we're telling the truth! ”

These green skins were so anxious that they all cried, and just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden sound of neat footsteps from the front, followed by a loud shout.

"By the order of General Xuanwei, those who do not return to the market will be severely punished."

"According to General Xuanwei's order, all merchants will immediately resume the market, otherwise the national law will be ruthless, don't say it unexpectedly!"

As the voice came, a group of uniformly armored sergeants appeared in front of them, and soon the figures of officers and soldiers appeared in all directions, gray armor, gray fire guns like a gray wave surging towards them, looking at the past all black oppressive large areas, and in front of them were a large number of ruffians or green-skinned gangsters who were either armed with clubs or empty-handed, these people were all sent out to make trouble, and they were all driven here at this moment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not good, the officers and soldiers have entered the city, and at this time the city is full of officers and soldiers, and they can't count, at least tens of thousands!"

"Master, it's not good, the officers and soldiers have entered the city!"

For a while, the entrance of the prefect's office was crowded with people, and the gossip became a mess.

"Jia Xuezheng, now that the officers and soldiers are here, what should we do!"

"Lord Fang, you have to come up with a charter!"

Just now, the scholars and businessmen who were still elated and triumphant just now had their little faces pale, and their faces were like ashes. Many people looked at Jia Zizhen and Fang Yingdi and others in despair.

At this time, Fang Yingdi also lost his previous arrogance, his face was pale, and he trembled and said: "This is impossible, this Yueyang only has three thousand men and horses in his hands, and he has to send people to defend the city and send the city to protect the displaced people, where did he get so many people to enter the city?" ”

"That's right, where did the surname Yue come from so many people?" The crowd began to talk.

"No, he's still a horse!" At this time, Wang Chenglin suddenly shouted, "Although the surname Yue only brought 3,000 people, he still has a large number of minions in Yingzhou Mansion, he must have mobilized the soldiers and horses of Yingzhou Mansion to come over!" ”

"That's right...... This surnamed Yue was the garrison of the state capital before he came to Hunyuan Prefecture, and he had a large number of minions! ”

Only then did everyone wake up, and at this time they were almost desperate, and many people had already secretly looked around, intending to slip away.

Seeing the dejected appearance of everyone one by one, Fang Yingdi blushed and looked at everyone and shouted: "What are you afraid of, Kong said Chengren Meng said to take righteousness, what we do is worthy of the court, worthy of God, what are you afraid of asking for life for the people." Rest assured, the surnamed Yue and his minions will never dare to do anything to us, as long as they do it, they will be cut off from the court and from the righteousness. Don't panic, let's go forward immediately, I want to see if the surnamed Yue dares to do it! ”

Although Jia Zizhen also blushed, he still said strongly: "Lord Fang is right, those minions will definitely not dare to make a move, if we retreat this time, it will be tantamount to admitting defeat, and it will definitely not work at this time." We are waiting for the people's lives, passionate and righteous, although we die and do not care, everyone is on the shoulders! ”

Wang Chenglin also shouted on the side: "The dynasty has raised scholars for more than 200 years, where does the so-called come from, I want to see if Yueyang dares to risk the world's disapproval to do something to us, everyone!" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Many of the scholars and merchants who had been re-energized puffed up their chests, and some ordered the house slaves, green-skinned gangsters, and others to raise banners and face forward, and the scene of hundreds of people rushing forward seemed to be very lively, but it looked chaotic.

There were even quite a few bold green-skinned thugs who threw stones at the officers and soldiers who came out.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, there was a roar of firearms in front of me, followed by a scream......
