Not to mention that the Xinglong rice shop continued to open for business and sell rice, Qianhu, who was broken by Tang Hu, and more than 100 sergeants under him were thrown into the street but no one paid attention, looking at Qianhu lying on the ground wailing, those sergeants wanted to carry him back, but these sergeants' hands had all been broken and they couldn't lift it, and finally they had to beg the surrounding idle men who were watching the excitement to be paid a heavy reward to carry the Qianhu to the Chengguo Mansion.

When Zhu Chunchen, who was waiting for the good news in the Guogong Mansion, saw the sergeants under his command who had been planned to have their arms taken and the dying Qianhu who were carried back, it was not surprising that he began to thunder again.

"Wang Chong, what the hell is going on? Who made you like this...... You sue me right away! ”

Wang Chong is naturally the Qianhu who was hit by a short hammer and his legs were bleeding profusely, and then his arms were broken. At this time, Wang Chong's expression was still extremely depressed because of excessive bleeding, and he completely lost the arrogance he had when he was in the rice shop, only to see that he did not speak but first shed tears and choked up: "Grandpa Guo, the villain was ordered to raid those rice shops that did not know whether they were alive or dead, who expected that Tang Hu suddenly appeared and brought dozens of fierce minions. They...... They also pointed at the villain with a short hand, and then ordered someone to break the hands and feet of the villain and the soldiers under his command, and threatened that this time it was only to break the hands and feet, and if they sent someone over again, it would not be as simple as breaking the hands and feet! ”

"Dangchang!"

As soon as Wang Chong's words were finished, Zhu Chunchen slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the valuable Chenghua official kiln teacup fell into pieces.

"How can this be reasonable, is there still a royal law here?"

Sure enough, Zhu Chunchen naturally jumped up like thunder, only to see him stand up directly, and his face was flushed with Chinese characters and shouted: "How can this be reasonable, even a rice seller dares to injure my subordinates, does this Ming still have a royal law?" Steward, immediately mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp. I'm going to flatten all the rice shops opened by the soup and all the people in Shanxi! ”

The furious Zhu Chunchen lost his mind at this moment, he felt that his dignity had been trained, and he wanted to kill all these people who dared to challenge his majesty, so as to calm the anger in his heart.

It stands to reason that Zhu Chunchen is not a fool, on the contrary, he is quite clever, but over the years of comfortable life and the flattery of the people around him have raised him to a very high position, which makes him have an illusion that he is really the leading brother of these nobles in the capital, and he has the responsibility to seek justice for his friends and younger brothers, so he continues to go further and further on this road.

Soon. Zhu Chunchen led more than 1,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp and rushed straight towards Mipu, which was already the largest armed force he could mobilize now. Some people may ask, Jingying is known as 300,000, how can Zhu Chunchen, as the governor of Beijing, only mobilize such a small number of people? However, those who say this must understand that 300,000 is only the number of people on the roster, in fact, after more than a hundred years of evolution, the actual number of people in Jingying is only one-tenth of that on the roster, and most of the people here are still used by those nobles and servants in the mansion, Zhu Chunchen can pull out more than 1,000 people in such a short period of time It is already very good. If it weren't for the erosion of Jingying to this point. In history, when Li Zicheng surrounded the capital with Liukou, Zhu Chunchen would not immediately open the city gate and surrender.

"Get out of the way...... Get out of the way! ”

"Hurry up and make way for Grandpa Guo, and kill all those who dare to stand in the way!"

Zhu Chunchen led more than 1,000 soldiers towards the rice shop and killed it violently, the soldiers in front of him continued to drive the people on the street, and Zhu Chunchen, who was dressed in a python robe, rode on a horse. At this time, his face was gloomy. Sitting on the back of the horse and silent, he had already sworn in his heart that he would kill all the men in the most cruel way from the rice shop to the shopkeeper, and the same fate would be for the guy named Tang Go. He wants everyone to know that no one who goes against him will end well.

When Zhu Chunchen, who gritted his teeth, led the people with knives and guns to drive away the people and came to Qianmen Street in a menacing manner, a group of people in civilian clothes suddenly appeared from the street. I saw these men holding muskets more than a hundred paces away from them, and without saying a word, they opened fire on them. Only a burst of white gunsmoke was heard accompanied by a dull gunshot, and the soldiers in front of Zhu Chunchen all fell in a pool of blood.

"Bang ......"

"Bang ......"

The gunshots continued to ring, and in less than two minutes, nearly a hundred soldiers from the Beijing camp in front of Zhu Chunchen all fell to the ground, and the rest of the people were all in chaos.

The gunshots rang out three or four times, and then fell silent, but the streets immediately erupted with numerous screams and wails. The people had never seen such a bloody scene, for a while children cried and adults shouted women, and the whole street became a mess, and in less than a few minutes, there was no one on the street except for Zhu Chunchen and his soldiers who were in a mess.

What is Zhu Chunchen doing at this time? This cannibalistic grandfather had already fallen off his horse and fallen to the ground at this moment, and the soldiers in the Beijing camp he brought had already become a mess, countless people rushed around like headless flies, if it weren't for Zhu Chunchen surrounded by dozens of loyal family members to protect him, I'm afraid he would have been trampled into a puddle of meat by the rebels.

The men who fired the shots were probably veterans, and after a few rounds of firing a volley of shots, the people in charge of them whistled and immediately disappeared without a trace, leaving only the heart-rending wails of the soldiers in the Beijing camp who had not died after being shot on the street and the shouts of the rest of the people.

Zhu Chunchen stood up tremblingly under the support of several housekeepers, he looked at the apocalyptic scene around him, his face was as pale as lime, and he asked the surrounding families incoherently, "What the hell is going on?" How could someone suddenly attack us with a firecracker? ”

"Grandpa Guo...... We've been attacked! Those damn turtle grandsons actually used fire guns, these gods, they killed so many of our brothers, what should we do! Zhu Chunchen's housekeeper wiped his tears while supporting him and asked him for advice.

The housekeeper and a group of family members next to him and the soldiers who had not yet escaped all looked at Zhu Chunchen, but where could Zhu Chunchen have any ideas at this time, he was already frightened stupid at this time, and he would only stand in place and look at the corpses lying on the ground in front of him and the wounded who kept wailing, his eyes were dull like a fool without a soul.

"Grandpa Guo...... Grandpa Guo ......"

Seeing that Zhu Chunchen was silent for a long time, the housekeeper was anxious, and he didn't care about whether he committed a crime or not, he grabbed Zhu Chunchen's arm and shook it constantly. But after shaking for a long time, the frightened grandfather of the country was still stunned on the spot and said nothing. In the end, the housekeeper was anxious, stretched out his hand and gave him a slap, only to hear a "pop" Zhu Chunchen finally came back to his senses. And the first thing this newly sobered grandfather of the country was to shout, "Oh no, the Tartars are in, run!" Then the dignified grandfather of the country broke free from the butler's hand and ran backwards.

Seeing such a situation, where could the housekeeper take care of other things, he hurriedly led people to chase after him, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp, who were already frightened by the beating around him, saw that even Chengguo Gong had run away, and they naturally would not stay here to die, and these people couldn't even take care of the robes lying on the ground, and thousands of people disappeared without a trace. In this way, what seemed to be a menacing journey of revenge turned into a farce.

There was a large-scale homicide on the streets of the capital, and more than 100 people were killed and injured with firearms, such a tragedy has not appeared in the capital of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the Shuntian Mansion Yin of the capital was immediately frightened.

The name of this Shuntianfu Yin is Lin Qi, he didn't dare to slack off as soon as he received the report from the people below, and immediately rushed to Qianmen Street with dozens of officials, and when he saw the corpses all over the ground and the wounded moaning in the cold wind, the cold sweat on his body immediately fell.

Since ancient times, the official of Shuntianfu is not something that ordinary people can be, and the official position of Shuntianfu Yin is two levels higher than that of local officials, and he is an official of the third grade. Moreover, the official position is also equivalent to the mayor of Beijing, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the director of the public security bureau in the later city, which seems to be a high position at first glance. But anyone who knows a little bit knows that this officer is like an ass sitting on a crater, and there is a possibility of being burned at any time.

In other places, the prefect of a place is the supreme chief executive of a continent and a prefecture, and he has the final say in all matters and matters. But what kind of place is the capital? This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, walking on the street and smashing a brick can hit a seven-grade official, and any old man on the street may be a person from the palace. Otherwise, this official will definitely not be in office for a long time.

"Have you found out who the people who did it were?" Lin Qi turned his head and asked the catcher next to him.

The catcher of Shuntianfu is a middle-aged man in his forties with rich experience in handling cases, and he has already sent someone to inquire about the matter on the way here. After hearing Lin Qi's question, he hurriedly replied: "Back to the adult's words, the small one has been clarified, and the people who did it were all the subordinates of Tang Hu, deputy director of the Shanxi Finance Department, who suddenly attacked Cheng Guogong and his party with firearms on the street, which caused this tragedy." ”

"Hmph...... Don't fool the official, the official should listen to the whole thing and not what you say out of context! Lin Qi may not have other talents, but since he has been an official for so many years, he has long been clear about some of the bad things in the officialdom, and he can see it at a glance if he catches the important and light.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Lin Qi was angry, he didn't dare to hide it, and told all the things he heard in 1510. Lin Qi immediately felt his head grow when he heard this, this pool of water was too deep, and if he waded through it without permission, he was afraid that he would drown if he couldn't even bubble up. But no matter what, he is the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, he is responsible for this kind of thing, if he doesn't care, the board will definitely hit his ass.

"That's it, let's take one step at a time!" Lin Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk towards Xinglong Rice Store under the leadership of Catch Kuai.

When Lin Qi came to the door of Xinglong Rice Shop, what he saw was a scene that made him stunned, in front of a small rice shop, countless people lined up in a long line carrying rice bags, saying that it was a bit exaggerated to say that it was impossible to see the end at a glance, but it was definitely not wrong to describe it as a sea of people.

In front of the rice shop, more than a dozen men were so busy scooping rice for the people that their feet did not touch the ground, almost a minute or two a very fast, and next to the rice shop, dozens of young men with sticks were maintaining order.

Looking at this situation, and then looking at the blackboard hanging high at the door of the rice shop and the words "Today's rice price is one or two cents per load" Lin Qi gasped, he finally knew why Chengguo Gong was so angry that he brought the people of Jingying to smash the field, this Xinglong rice shop is going to cut off people's financial routes, no wonder Chengguo Guild is anxious.

Lin Qi really didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but he couldn't ignore his responsibilities, so he had no choice but to slowly come to the rice shop and shout loudly. "Who's the leader here, hurry up and speak!"

As Lin Qi's words fell, a very blessed young man wearing a plain robe walked out and arched his hand towards Lin Qi, "This lord, this official is the big shopkeeper of this Xinglong rice shop, and his surname is Tang Minghu...... I wonder why adults are here? ”

Lin Qi was also slightly shocked when he saw the person coming, and he couldn't see that this young man who looked like a businessman more than an official was so ruthless, that is, he ordered to shoot all the more than 100 soldiers in the Beijing camp, and then throw the corpses on the street, this person's courage is already boundless.

Lin Qi immediately lowered his face and asked, "You are Tang Hu?" ”

Tang Hu said to Lin Qi without humility or arrogance: "Xia Guan is exactly." Dare to ask why you are here? ”

Lin Qi suddenly shouted: "Tang Hu, why did you instruct your minions to kill the soldiers of the Beijing camp, do you know that the killing of officers and soldiers is complicit in rebellion?" ”

After being the Yin of Shuntian Mansion for so long, Lin Qi still has some experience in judging people, if ordinary people are caught off guard and are drunk by people, it is very likely that they will tell the truth in a panic, but what he didn't expect was that his abacus fell through.

I saw Tang Hu say unhurriedly: "Lord Lin, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." You said that the subordinate commander instructed his subordinates to kill people. Did you see it with your own eyes, did you hear it with your own eyes, or did someone tell you about it? As the saying goes, catch a traitor and catch a thief and take the stolen goods, if you have human and material evidence, then the subordinate has nothing to say, if there is no evidence, you want to frame the subordinate official. Although the lower official is just a petty official, he can't be left to be falsely accused. ”

"You ......"

Lin Qi didn't expect this soup to protect his mouth quite neatly, what happened just now is less than an hour away, and there are not a thousand people on the street who see this scene, but hundreds, this guy actually pushed all the bills. He quickly sank his face: "Tang Go." You don't have to deny it, your subordinates used firearms to kill people in public on the street, but many people saw it, so you don't have to force the official to find witnesses before they are willing to admit it. Besides, if the old man is not mistaken, those murderers should be these young men in front of the rice shop, right? ”

Tang Hu smiled faintly, arched his hand and said: "Lord Lin, the lower officials have also heard about the tragedy that happened on Shicai Street, but this matter is really not done by the lower officials, and although the lower officials have just entered the capital, they also know that if there are more than fifty soldiers in the Beijing camp, the transfer must go through the military department and the emperor's holy decree. If there is no holy decree, it is also a rebellion to mobilize the capital camp without authorization! ”

"This ......"

Lin Qi suddenly became dumb, this rule is indeed existing, although today's Beijing camp has long been reduced to a concentration camp for villains, hooligans and ruffians, and this rule has long been abandoned for hundreds of years, but rules are rules, and before the imperial court announced the abolition of this rule, this rule is an insurmountable barrier, and everyone must abide by it.

Seeing that Lin Qi didn't speak, Tang Hu said to him again: "Lord Lin, the lower official knows that you are the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, and you will definitely have to arrest a few people to deal with such a big thing, but the lower official thinks that it is better to do things fairly, you might as well go to the Chengguo Mansion and ask Cheng Guogong to see whose order he was under to mobilize the people of the Beijing camp, and we can also go to the emperor of the Jinluan Palace to have a good lawsuit." ”

Looking at the smile on the corner of Tang Hu's mouth and the young men behind him, Lin Qi knew that he probably couldn't take care of this matter today. Although he, as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, could ask for help from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and even the people of Jinyi Wei and Dongchang in an emergency to take down this Tang Hu and his men, he didn't want to do so, because then he would completely carry Tang Hu to the end.

Tang Hu is just a petty official of the sixth grade, and if he offends, he will offend it, which is nothing, but the problem is that Tang Hu is standing behind a great god, and the prestige of that great god is now resounding throughout the Ming Dynasty, if that great god knows what he is doing today, as long as he moves his little finger, it is estimated that one day he will die in a quiet corner without explanation, and such a big thing is definitely not something that his little Shuntian Mansion Yin can bear.

"That's it...... Whoever cares about this is in charge. On one side are the nobles of the Chengguo Mansion and the capital, and on the other side are the feudal towns and the emperor of the soil with heavy troops, none of these people can afford to offend themselves, so they just push the ball to the boss, and they still don't pay attention to this troubled water, if the emperor is not satisfied with his resignation, can't he? ”

Thinking of this, Lin Qi stopped talking nonsense with Tang Hu, he nodded at Tang Hu, and walked back without saying a word.

Although Lin Qi left, the matter was far from over, and the next morning, when the imperial historian and the official shook it out in the court, a dispute began again...... (To be continued......)
