Chapter 401: A Private Interview with Weifu (4)
Although the crowd on the street was panicked, there was no panic, the timid hurried low, the bold turned back from time to time to stop and watch, and there were many people who liked to join in the excitement against the flow of people, seeing this situation, Kangxi put his mind at ease, knowing that there may be a fight in front of him, Yide, Guan Bao and others were also secretly relieved, Kangxi Weifu private visit, as long as there is no big rebellion, other things are insignificant.
The guards who went to investigate the situation quickly turned back and reported in a low voice: "Master, not far ahead, two gangs of splashes have hit. ”
Guan Bao is a first-class guard, and he is familiar with these brawls in the city, Kangxi occasionally pays private visits, and they send people to stare at the corners of several streets before and after, and there will definitely be no such thing that disturbs the Holy Cross, but this time Kangxi not only came out in a hurry, but the destination was not informed, and the manpower was not allowed to be brought more, although a group of guards were secretly transferred, but it was still difficult to take care of everything.
Unexpectedly, something happened to Ke Ke'er, although it was a trivial matter, but he didn't dare to be careless, as soon as he heard the simplicity of his subordinates' report, he shouted softly: "What eyesight? To be more detailed, how many people are there, and do they have a family? What causes a fight? ”
"Yes." The guard groaned for a while, and then said: "There are about sixty or seventy people on both sides, and they don't have any home, but they are just benches and small pestles that are handy. ”
Kangxi was annoyed when he heard this, this is my prosperous age? There were more than 60 or 70 people fighting in the streets during the day, and the infantry army commanded the yamen, the five cities and horses, and the Shuntian Mansion, and the imperial court raised so many soldiers and soldiers, could they all be furnished? The public order in the capital is actually chaotic to such an extent, no wonder the old fourteen insist on strict rectification! Is there a shadow of the clan behind these splashes? After a little hesitation, he said, "Let's go, go for a long time." ”
As soon as he heard this, Ide was anxious, he was the only minister of the guard who came out today, in case Kangxi had anything wrong, he was responsible, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Master, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, how can a street fight get into the eyes of the master." ”
"It's a rare spectacle." Kangxi coldly dropped a sentence and walked out of the store.
When Guan Bao saw it, he immediately led someone out, for fear of an accident, Yide frowned slightly, and hurriedly followed out, thinking about whether to send someone to notify the commander of the infantry army, but Kangxi turned around and said sternly: "No one is allowed to be notified." ”
Yide felt a pang in his heart, did Kangxi want to take the opportunity to assess the officials of the Yamen who commanded the infantry army, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Shuntian Mansion?
The layout of the whole capital is 'eight banners in the city, five cities outside the city, and the five cities outside the city refer to the five cities outside the city, which are divided into the middle, east, west, south and north, each city is divided into two squares, and the most prosperous is the middle city, the south city and the north city. The small market street is in the east-west direction, which is not only the most prosperous street in the outer city of Beijing, but also the junction of the middle city and the south city, and the street is divided into two, with the north of the street returning to the middle city and the south of the street returning to the south city.
Since the beginning of the organized collection of the so-called number tax and extortion tax, the small market street has become the focus of contention between the two gangs in the middle city and the south city.
The yamen of the Beijing division in the twentieth month of the twentieth month's seal, annual leave, the shops are also in the twenty-fifth month of the twelfth month of the base of the general ledger, fifteen to twenty-five this time, it is agreed to become a custom, has become the legal time for the cities to fight for territory, in recent years, almost every year there are fights but the scale is just the size.
Before the fight, a group of splashes will naturally send filial piety to the soldiers of the yamen and the officials of the fast arrest on the small market street, so as not to spoil the good deeds, and the soldiers of the yamen and the soldiers of the fast hunting will naturally turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, and they will not worry about being punished at all, as long as they do not cause trouble, the victorious side will arrange for people to come forward to mediate with the yamen, and they do not need to worry at all. …,
In order to prevent homicide and loss of jobs, they will also supervise the teahouses and shops on both sides of the scene in real time, and if they find that the situation is wrong, they will stop it in time.
The scale of the brawl this year is not large, and it looks like it is still in order, and the soldiers of the yamen and the fast guards are also lazily watching from a distance, and from time to time they also point out and discuss a few words, and they are more good at gambling, setting up files at the beginning, and betting on which side will win.
The shops at the scene of the brawl, as soon as they saw that the situation was not right, had already closed their doors, hid in the shop and secretly scolded the unlucky, delaying the business for half a day, but suffering those vendors along the street, running and running and running and having nowhere to hide, the household goods, flat shoulders, pestles, benches, and even pots and spoons have been used to the extreme by a group of splashing gangsters, watching their own things being smashed to the sparse, one by one the hawkers are crying and tearless far away, people are going to be affected again, this year can not pass.
When Kangxi and his party arrived at the scene of the fight, there were already seven or eight lying down on the street, and the remaining two groups of people were fighting fiercely, but there was no rule at all, the whole scene was chaotic, there were many people holding flat poles, pestles, and benches, and there were also people carrying pot lids.
After a few glances, Kangxi felt bored, so he took out a gold watch similar to the size and shape of a walnut from his bosom and looked at it, but he was puzzled in his heart, why didn't there even be a patrolling soldier on this street? Where have all the people gone?
Watching the excitement is a big hobby of the idlers in Beijing, and such a lively scene naturally attracted a lot of bold onlookers, and Kangxi and his party were not abrupt.
However, at tea time, the scuffle on the street was nearing its end, and the side with the red ribbon on his arm was already obviously weak, but he was barely trying to support it, but the two ends of the street were still quiet, and there was no movement.
Kangxi's face couldn't help but be a little difficult to look at, there was a group fight between the clan slaves and the Yamen soldiers of the infantry army commander yesterday, and today there was a large-scale group fight on the street, and the order of the capital has been corrupted to such a point? The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Shuntian Mansion, and the Infantry Army Commander Yamen are all those who only receive salaries and don't take care of things?
He couldn't help but look down at the gold watch again, suddenly, the whole street was unusually quiet, Kangxi was slightly surprised, raised his head, but was blocked by Guan Bao in front, glanced at the onlookers next to him, but saw that everyone was like a wood carving clay lance, and their faces were full of surprise, what happened? He was very curious in his heart, and was about to ask a question, when Guan Bao ordered in a slightly nervous tone: "Quick, put the old man in the back." ”
As soon as he heard this order, several guards skillfully picked up Kangxi and trotted back, and many other guards followed closely behind, Kangxi did not have the slightest panic, held the gold watch in his palm, and then asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”
"Firebolt." The second-class guard, Rassi, said briefly, "They have a short firearm in their hands. ”
Splash has a short fire gun in his hand! Kangxi couldn't believe his ears, and couldn't help asking, "Did you read that right?" Is it a short firebolt? ”
"It won't be wrong, it's definitely a short fire, and the slave dares to vouch." Larsey hurriedly replied.
The imperial court is extremely strict in the management of firearms, and the whereabouts of each musket are extremely clear, even if they are scrapped and destroyed, there are extremely strict procedures, not to mention short firearms, Kangxi's first thought is that the Shanghai Firearms Factory of the Old Fourteenth is not well managed, and some firearms have flowed out, looking at the range of the short firearms, he shouted: "Put it down!" ”
After landing on his feet, Kangxi straightened his clothes and asked, "How many short firecrackers are there?" ”…,
"Back to the master, I only see one handful." Larsey replied cautiously.
"A short fire gun is scared like this?" Kangxi glared at a few people before he said: "I haven't experienced many winds and waves, and I still care about a firecracker?" Let's go, let's see. ”
Seeing that the brawl was nearing the end, but unexpectedly, the gang of splashes in the middle city suddenly pulled out a short firecracker, this time, not only scared the crowd of splashes in the south of the city stupid, even the onlookers were stunned, firearms are not a new thing, a lot of idlers in the capital have seen a lot, but they have never seen a splash skin playing this thing, this thing sounds, it is going to kill people, this year, who wants to get involved in a life lawsuit? But once you enter the yamen, you don't have a dozen taels of silver, so don't expect to come out at all.
Originally, a few patrol soldiers on duty who were hiding in the teahouse and shop secretly supervised and the fast guards were pale with fright, and when they came back to their senses, they were immediately divided into two groups, one rushed back to report the news, and the other rushed up quickly, if there was a fatality, this job would not be saved.
One of the officials who rushed to the front shouted from afar: "Zhang Si, don't bring such a play, do you still preach the rules of the sermon?" ”
Zhang Si ignored them, pointed a gun at Nancheng's splashing skin, and said with a cruel smile: "Pi San'er, what's the matter, can't you fight?" ”
Pi San'er glanced at the head of the black hole, calmed down from the initial shock, and glanced at the other party before saying, "I said Zhang Si, is this Zhongcheng so useless?" Can't win, play with firearms? How many people can you kill? ”
"Grandson, it's enough to kill you." Zhang Si said provocatively: "Do you want to try?" ”
Pi San'er's throat moved, but he didn't dare to take it, this is not a joke, Zhang Si said proudly: "Hurry up, make a word, there is a kind, you will also get a handful to play with next year." ”
"Fire Gun is also something you can play? How do I see you die? Pi San'er waved his hand, turned around and said, "Take your brother, let's go." ”
As soon as they saw Nancheng's retreat, a group of people in Zhongcheng burst into a loud noise, and several soldiers and servants also breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that no one died, as for the matter of the firecracker, it was not a great achievement, and there was another benefit, and several people stared at the short firearm in Zhang Si's hand in unison.
Kangxi rushed back to the scene to take a look, and found that several patrolmen and soldiers on duty suddenly appeared, and he understood what was going on, his face immediately turned pale with anger, and he commanded in a deep voice: "Take these people, firearms, and soldiers to the yamen of the infantry commander." With that, he turned and walked away. To be continued.
