Chapter 429: Maniac

When Mao Yilu heard Zhang Ke's words, he almost fell down in fright. How can the nine-thousand-year-old old man be so confused, sending a butcher to Jiangnan, isn't this adding fuel to the fire!

Thinking of Zhang Ke's terrifying achievements, sweat flowed down Mao Yilu's sideburns, and there were two more stalls of water on the ground.

"Mao Zhongcheng, if Benjue is not mistaken, are you the Duke of Wei Baojue?"

Civil officials have to be faceless, and no one is willing to admit to taking the path of eunuchs, but when Zhang Ke asked, Mao Yilu didn't dare not answer.

"Grandpa Qiyuguo, I am grateful for the promotion of Grandpa Wei, and I want to repay Grandpa Wei."

"Phew!"

Zhang Ke took a sip unceremoniously, how dare Mao Yilu wipe it off, he could only stiffen up.

"Do you still know the kindness of Grandpa Wei? He sent Li Shi and Li Gonggong to the south to collect taxes, and the dignified weaving eunuch was injured by the rebellious Diao people and went crazy with fright. Where is the face of the imperial court, and where is the face of Gonggong Wei? As a local feudal official, you can't put down the rebellion and arrest the criminals, are you worthy of the cultivation of Gonggong Wei? Do you still deserve to wear your official uniform? ”

Zhang Ke turned around suddenly, picked up the Shang Fang sword on the table, and pulled it out violently.

"Ben Jue will kill the incompetent unconscious official today!"

The moment Zhang Ke pulled out his sword, the whole world collapsed, and Mao Yilu trembled and threw himself on the ground.

"Grandpa Guo, spare your life, spare your life! The humble position is also forced to have no choice, Grandpa Guo, don't be clear! ”

At this time, Kou Shen, who was kneeling behind Mao Yilu, couldn't stand it, although Zhang Ke was a super-grade national prince, he still wanted the dignity of a civil official! Mao Yilu is simply a boneless pug, when it comes to wind bones, he also looks at the real man of Donglin!

Kou Shen straightened his upper body and said loudly: "Pingliao Gong, Mao Zhongcheng is a third-grade feudal official, although you have the sword of Shang Fang and the banner of the king's order. But you can't just kill Mao Zhongcheng! ”

"Oh!"

Zhang Ke squinted his eyes at Kou Shen and sneered: "You are the prefect of Suzhou?" ”

"It's Xiaguan!"

"Good! The rebellion happened in Suzhou, and you, the parent official, can't get out of it, and if you don't kill Mao Yilu, can't you still kill you! ”

Zhang Ke roared loudly: "Come on, arrest him!" ”

"Slow!"

Kou Shen yelled: "Pingliaogong, you just came to Jiangnan, and you don't understand the situation, so you kill casually, it's not the style of a famous general." ”

"Don't understand the situation? Hahaha. It's not a rebellion against the people, what else do you have to say about the incompetence of your officials, shielding criminals, and exposing things that are obvious? ”

"Yes, the lower official has a belly to say."

As soon as they met, Zhang Ke shouted and shouted to kill, and he was not polite to anyone, exactly the same as the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals in his impression. Kou Shen was secretly happy in his heart. Zhang Ke is very good at fighting, but he may not be able to play with his heart's eyes! He just happened to teach this martial artist a lesson.

Kou Shen said: "Grandpa Guo, the lower officials can't talk to you like this, right?" ”

"Benjue didn't let you kneel either." Zhang Ke waved his hand to make them stand up.

Kou Shen dusted off his dust and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo." The lower official thinks there is something wrong with your words. ”

"Drained!"

"Yes! Grandpa Guo said that the people of Suzhou were in rebellion, and the lower officials thought that it was far from the truth. If the people of Suzhou do not have enough to eat, how can they go against the imperial court, and the reason for this matter is still not to run out of the four words of the official forcing the people to rebel. ”

Zhang Ke remained silent. Motioned for him to continue.

Kou Shen seemed to be encouraged, and continued: "The people of the world have been in the tax prison and mine prison for a long time, and the saint actually listened to the slander of the eunuch. Send eunuchs to act as tax supervisors, exploit the world, and knock out the bones and suck the marrow! The weavers and people in the workshop were all poor families, and they were forced to lose their fields and could not farm, and they were pitiful and miserable, and the eunuchs actually taxed them, which made matters worse, and they were simply mad and wolf-hearted! ”

What is it called reversing black and white, nonsense, Zhang Ke can be regarded as gaining knowledge today. He always thought that he was ruthless, but he was still far from the ability of the people in the Donglin to refer to the deer as a horse.

Listening to Kou Shen's statement, it seems that farming is a great blessing, and if you can be blessed to farm, you must not be a weaver! But in fact, a skilled weaver earns three times as much as a farmer!

The people of Jiangnan hung their fields in the names of the gentry to evade taxes, and then entered the workshops of wealthy merchants to work. The court could not collect a penny of their taxes, nor could they afford to do labor.

The weavers' lives were not good, and they were all the responsibility of the big bureaucrats, and they had nothing to do with the imperial court. What's more, this time the tax inspector was dispatched, and it was the workshop owner, the merchant name, and the trafficking merchant traveler, and the weaver was not taxed at all. Kou Shen's impassioned can only deceive a three-year-old child!

Zhang Ke did not rush to demolish him, but pretended to be very educated, and said with a smile: "Governor Kou, you mean that the tax supervisor should not be dispatched!" Li Shi was frightened crazy, and he was also to blame? ”

"The lower officials don't dare!" Kou Shen said: "Grandpa Guo, the lower officials think that the people are indeed a little excessive, but it is not right for the imperial court to expropriate and expropriate, the people of Suzhou have no intention of rebellion." Afterwards, the person who took the lead in making trouble took the initiative to come to the case, and Zhou Shunchang and Lord Zhou were also arrested, if they rebelled, how could they be so honest. ”

"Oh, that makes sense, what do you think Master Kou should do?"

Zhang Ke's words became more and more polite, and Kou Shen became more and more proud, it seems that this prince only knows how to fight, and it is too easy to deceive him!

"Grandpa Qiguo, he thinks that he should be lenient and strict in dealing with the people's uprising, and only punish the evil. The five people who took the initiative to come to the case were all decided, and as for Zhou Shunchang, it was enough to follow the will of the imperial court. Then it was announced that the tax superintendent would be removed and that he would never be sent again. With the promulgation of the proclamation of the people's peace of mind, the people will naturally live and work in peace and contentment. Kou Shen said, took out the draft plan, sent it to Zhang Ke, and said with a smile: "Please take a look at the grandfather, according to this law, Suzhou will inevitably return to stability." ”

Zhang Ke took it in his hand, looked through it, and then threw it into Mao Yilu's arms.

"Mao Zhongcheng, take a look too!"

Mao Yilu was still immersed in the fear just now, picked up the manuscript blankly, and browsed it.

"Mao Zhongcheng, do it according to the above method, what do you think?"

"This ......" Mao Yilu looked miserable, thought for a while, and said: "Grandpa Guo, the humble position is the focus of the overall situation, perhaps, it should be, approximately, almost...... Listen to Governor Kou, right? ”

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake. Even if Pingliao Gong comes, it's not the same to bow his head!

Kou Shen was secretly happy in his heart, and even regretted it a little, if he knew that Zhang Ke was such a straw bag, he would simply force him to let Zhou Shunchang go, if he fell into the East Factory, he was afraid that Lord Zhou would be more auspicious......

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Ke suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and both of them were so laughed that their hearts were furious, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Of the five people who surrendered, Zhou Wenyuan's original name was Zhou Laoer. It is Zhou Shunchang's sedan chair driver, and the name has just been taken, Yan Peiwei, Yang Nianru, Ma Jie, Shen Yang, these four people, there are small vendors, there are teeth, and there are hotel guys, all in their early twenties, less than thirty years old! ”

The Ming Dynasty is different from later generations. Shinong industry and commerce, with a strict hierarchy. These five people are all engaged in lowly industries, and their status is not even as good as that of old farmers, and with the five of them, they can call thousands of citizens. To attack Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the absurd Cheng dΓΉ surpassed the hand-torn devil.

Otherwise, history is often more than reality!

"Mao Zhongcheng!"

"The lower official is here!"

Zhang Ke sneered: "You just said that the overall situation is important. Then Benjue will come to tell you what is the overall situation! The overall situation is the prestige of the imperial court, and the overall situation is that the treasury is empty, and the soldiers at the border gates are waiting to be fed. The overall situation is that there has just been a refugee riot in Shandong, and even the Yansheng Mansion is besieged! ”

Every sentence was like a heavy hammer, smashing into Mao Yilu's heart, his face was pale, and his whole body kept trembling.

"Your so-called overall situation is nothing more than appeasement and connivance with lawlessness! The big clans in the southeast, the rebels in Donglin, they are the moths of the Ming Dynasty, the greedy vampires, and a group of villains who fan the flames and are shameless! ”

"Mao Yilu!"

"Ah, it's a lowly job!"

Zhang Ke sneered: "Ben Jue will order you now, immediately surround Suzhou Mansion, raid Zhou Shunchang's entire family, torture Yan Peiwei and the other five people, as long as you recruit the mastermind behind the scenes, you will pardon their crimes, and if you want to use a few small shrimps to make trouble, you will underestimate the IQ of the people in the world." ”

After Zhang Ke finished speaking, he looked at Kou Shen coldly, his eyes were clearly like watching a funny clown.

"Governor Kou, put away your clever tongue, Benjue has brought the most clever torture expert in Dongchang. They will let you know what it means to live as to die, and what it means to regret coming into the world! ”

Kou Shen can't wait to give himself two mouths now, Zhang Ke is obviously pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but he still thinks he is so foolish!

Now, it was too late for Kou Shen to say anything, he shouted: "Pingliaogong, Jiangnan is a place where the imperial court is rich, if you disturb Suzhou, cause an uproar in public opinion, and the world is in chaos, your great achievements will be in vain, don't mislead others!" ”

Zhang Ke didn't bother to look at him, and sneered: "What kind of bullshit wealth is rich, it's clearly a cancer!" The Donglin Party is the cancer of the Ming Dynasty, and Benjue will cut you off with the knife in his hand! ”

With a wave of his hand, the soldier dragged Kou Shen away, and Zhang Ke's eyes fell on Mao Yilu, so frightened that he couldn't help but take half a step back.

"Grandpa Guo, please give me any orders."

"Mao Zhongcheng, you are the person of Duke Wei, and you may have had difficulties in the past, but when Benjue's army arrives, can the big households in the southeast still be fierce against the Tartars? With Benjue supporting you, what else is there not to do? ”

"No, no!"

Mao Yilu's face turned red, and when Suzhou became chaotic, he was so frightened that he hid in the cowshed, got a body of cow dung, and soaked urine in a pair of court boots. That day was simply the most humiliating day in this life, in the past, I didn't dare to mess with the gentry, so I could only swallow my anger, but now it's different, Lao Tzu wants revenge!

……

Mao Yilu was no longer polite, and after he left the barracks, he immediately issued an order to mobilize the soldiers of the government service and raid the house and arrest people. In addition to Zhou Shunchang's family, he took Huang Zunsu outside Suzhou City, and at the same time sent people to Changzhou to arrest Li Yingsheng.

These two, like Zhou Shunchang, are both members of the Donglin Party and are famous in Jiangnan.

At the time of the arrest, many people gathered together and wanted to beat away the imperial court's servants. But this time they had miscalculated, and just as they were rushing forward with sticks and shovels, the fire rang out!

The people who had never seen the flames of war were finally afraid, and they fled for their lives, and the land south of the Yangtze River was dyed with a layer of blood...... (To be continued......) R1292
