Not to mention that the inn is in full swing to pay attention to the development of the situation, the drama in Shaoxing City is also becoming more and more lively. It is said that since Lin Yangqian is dead, the coffin should be returned to his hometown. It's just that none of his relatives are here, and only one concubine, Aunt Hong, is accompanied by Congliang's little Hongbao. The funeral was all handled by the prefect Li Wenzao, who was carrying white flags like a forest, and the paper money covered the sky, and it was very solemn. The county officials and colleagues in the county who were present were certainly embarrassed, and the people who came to watch the send-off were also in tears.

This kind of expenditure will not be reimbursed by the public, and Li Wenzao paid it out of his own pocket, which really deserves to be a timely rain in Zhejiang officialdom. Who doesn't praise this comradeship? Not to mention that the old prefect Li also went to mourn in person, and said to Aunt Na Hong: "Your master is a dignified court official, Shanyin Zhengtang. For the sake of the people of Jiangnan, he pursued the Japanese and resisted the traitors. Such a loyal and upright person will not die in vain. His grievances are borne by his own husband. It will be said that the murderers will have their own retribution, and the Japanese will correct the law on the spot! ”

This kind of public statement is not so much to say to the good little Hongbao, but to the eunuchs and gentry in Shaoxing. Li Fuzun is really going to face up to this Yan Xiaoxianggong. This time can be called the Dragon and Tiger Meeting. One is a dragon crossing the river, and the other is a tiger sitting on the ground, but I don't know who is more clever.

While the people were talking about it, the situation was further intensified. On the second day of Governor Li's condolences, someone found that Aunt Hong did not come out to support the condolences. was wondering, but after a while, a maid hurriedly ran out and said, "Oh no, Aunt Hong went with the master!" ”

Xiao Hongbao was born in a green building, but he can write and draw. She left a unique book, which explained that there is now Governor Li who is anxious for justice and righteousness, and is willing to stand up for the master, punish the wicked, and kill the widows, and think that the master will not hate Jiuquan. I have no worries in the world, so I should go with my lord and serve in the underworld. In his last pen, he denounced the children of the eunuchs for being in power, abusing the scholars, forcing their own master to death, and going to the underworld after death, he must sue in front of the king of Hades.

This suicide note is really called bloody, and the words are tearful, those who see it cry, and those who hear it are sad. Somehow, the contents of this suicide note quickly spread throughout the city. In the streets and alleys, people are talking. After many people finished talking about the blood book, they all sighed with emotion: "Aunt Hong is a prostitute, and she is still so strong, is there no boy in my Shaoxing City?" Similar inflammatory language ignited a swagger of anger. Ordinary people came to the surroundings of the Yunlai Inn one after another, glaring angrily at the inn.

However, Shaoxing is not a place with dangerous mountains and bad waters, and the people live well. Naturally, they had no intention of rebelling against each other. To say that they were filled with righteous indignation, shouted out, and automatically entered the inn, they really don't have the courage and courage at present. They were just incited, full of anger, and gathered here wanting to do something, but couldn't think of what they could do.

Originally, the government should have quickly sent people to disperse such an unorganized and undisciplined assembly, so as not to cause trouble under the crowd. At this time, it was the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and people's minds were settled. Although it is one thing for the coastal people to go to the sea to play with their lives in order to make a living, in broad daylight, in the bustling city, they do not dare to fight with the government at all.

At this time, if the government really wants to suppress it, it only needs to send dozens of messengers with water and fire sticks to come and beat them indiscriminately, and they can drive the people away in all directions. But this time, there were no officials in Shanyin, Huiji and Shaoxing Mansion, and the people gathered here.

More and more people gathered around the inn, but they didn't know what to do. Suddenly, someone shouted in the crowd: "Let Yan Hong, that dog official, hand over Xu Hai!" I'll kill the Japanese chief and avenge Old Lady Lin! ”

His shout can be regarded as a wake-up call to the people. Yes, Lin Zhixian, the eldest lord of Qingtian, was beaten by Yan Hong because he failed to kill Xu Hai, so he was so aggrieved that he committed suicide, and even the concubine went with him. Then, as long as we kill Xu Hai, it can be regarded as comforting Lin Xianzun's spirit in the sky. Moreover, now there are rumors outside that the Japanese are going to wash Shaoxing in blood, and the bane is in Xu Hai. As long as Xu Hai dies, the Japanese dragons will naturally disperse, and no one will be able to lead them to attack my Shaoxing.

The so-called people do not fight with officials, although many of these ordinary people are full of righteous indignation at Yan Hong, the dog official who forced Lin Xianzun to death, but if they really want to let them enter the inn and kill Yan Hong, these ordinary people do not have the courage for the time being, and they have to weigh it first. However, when it comes to killing the Japanese chief Xu Hai, there is no problem in thinking about it. The bandits who kill people and oversell goods are punished by everyone, and the government still has a reward! As for saying how vicious the would-be is, jokes, thousands of people gathered here, and a few would-be robbers were able to turn the sky upside down! Therefore, as soon as they heard that someone was taking the lead, the onlookers immediately echoed the sound and shouted loudly.

At this time, in the Yunlai Inn, there were forty or fifty soldiers from the Governor's Standard Battalion, plus Yan Hong's Jinyi Official Academy and the Four General Banners, the Four Great Generals, Yan Feng and Yan Fu, etc., there were almost eighty people who could fight. If you add the more than 200 pacesetters who went to ambush outside, this force is really not weak.

If it is a confrontation between the two armies, with Xu Wenchang's ability, how can these local chickens and tile dogs in Shaoxing Mansion be taken into his eyes? But now it is facing the people of Shaoxing and the government of the country. Even though Xu Wenchang has the means to reach the sky, he has no use for his hands and feet. Even if the soldiers of the 300 standard battalion can defeat tens of thousands of people, but you, Xu Wenchang, still dare to set troops and kill the people?

Therefore, in the face of the people approaching step by step, Xu Wenchang was a little nervous. This Yunlai Inn is not a military castle, there are no high walls and deep barriers, on the contrary, it is a business shop that welcomes customers from all over the world, which is not very suitable for defense. For example, in addition to the main door, there are several windows facing the street on the first floor. Surrounded by ordinary people, it is basically the appearance of defenseless terrain. Fortunately, Xu Wenchang is good at scheduling, and specially arranged two classes of martial artists on the first floor, eight in each class, with swords and guns, taking turns to guard the doors and windows. Those ordinary people did not dare to attack immediately.

At this moment, Hu Baiqi smoked the gap between flying clouds and rain with a pair of beauties, and also turned to the guest hall to take a look, and when he saw so many people outside, he was immediately frightened and his legs trembled. After being stunned for a moment, he ran to Xu Wenchang's ear, gritted his teeth and said, "This old thief Li is so hateful!" Mr. Xu, if you set up a clever plan, arrange a strange army, go straight to Huanglong, and capture Li Wenzao, then the chaos here will no longer retreat! ”

Xu Wenchang was worried, and when he heard him say this, his eyes widened: "Master Hu, you better go back to the room and whip the beauty, don't get in the way here." Hu Baiqi couldn't wait for his words, and immediately said: "The old gentleman has an order, how dare the nephew disrespect!" "Slipped back.

Yan Hong smiled bitterly as he listened. What do you say about smashing Huanglong and arresting Li Wenzao, that's something you don't even have to think about. Although the eighty people in the inn were all elites, and there were more than two hundred people lurking on the periphery, Li Wenzao was not Lin Yangqian, and there must be many guards around him, so it was difficult to find an opportunity to behead.

More importantly, contrary to the misconception of ordinary people, there was no such thing as high-grade officials in the Ming Dynasty who could dispose of low-grade officials at will. Like the governor disposing of the prefect, and the prefect disposing of the prefect, this does not mean that the next order is sufficient. Everyone is an official of the imperial court, the division of labor is different, you are in charge of me in administrative affairs, not life and death are in your hands. At most, it can only be said that some of the positions and powers of high-grade officials can indeed find excuses to clean up people by the way.

For example, even if a dynasty like Yan Song wants to clean up Lin Yangqian, the commander of Qipin County, he can't directly order his subordinates to arrest Lin Yangqian and kill him, but can only go to Shangzhang to say Lin Yangqian's sins and ask the emperor for approval to dispose of them, and then they can clean it up. It's just that because of his identity and relationship with the emperor, the success rate of this kind of twist and turn is basically 100%.

It is precisely because the superior officials must also go through the legal process to deal with the subordinate officials, that it creates a living space for the strange officialdom like Hai Rui, who is worried about everyone. Because Hai Rui is really flawless, people can't attack. Otherwise, if the superiors can clean up the subordinates casually, they will rush him to confiscate all the caravans of his direct superior, Zeng Wenfan, the prefect of Yanzhou, this kind of hatred is equivalent to killing his father and taking his wife, can he continue to stay in this position?

Therefore, although Hu Zongxian is the governor, he has nothing to do with Li Wenzao. Even if it is Jinyiwei, although it is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, it can be arrested cheaply, but to arrest officials, it must be approved by the Son of Heaven and issued a driver's certificate before taking people, otherwise it is illegal.

Of course, there are special circumstances that can be exceptional, that is, the royal flag or the Shang Fang sword, which are big killers that everyone likes to see on the stage. As a governor, Hu Zongxian has the nature of a chase, and he has the banner of the king's order. But in this situation, not to mention Xu Wenchang's staff, it is impossible to enter Shaoxing with the royal flag. Even if Hu Zongxian was really bold and reckless, he would not be qualified to use it if he lent Xu Wenchang the royal flag to Shaoxing. After all, it is the honor guard of the Celestial Empire, and it can only be used by the Qincha alone, not some magic weapon props of the god list, which can be lent to Zhang San and Li Si at will. Otherwise, the world would have been in chaos a long time ago, and maybe Hu Baiqi would have to take his father's royal flag to arrest Hai Rui and beat him.

Even if Hu Zongxian personally came to Shaoxing with the royal flag, it was useless. If the Wang Ming Banner was really used at this cost, Hu Zongxian would have cut down all six Lin Yangqian, why bother Yan Honglai? This quasi-magic weapon-level killing weapon is still limited in use. First of all, there must be a reason to do it, and secondly, in terms of targeting, only the fifth rank of civilian officials and the fourth rank of military generals can be dismantled by themselves. And a four-grade civil official like Li Wenzao is at most arrested and decided.

It's easy to catch Li Wenzao, but what about after that? What can you do to catch him? In addition, Li Wenzao has a good official reputation in Shaoxing, and if he takes him, he will be regarded as a public enemy by Zhejiang officialdom and will be sprayed to death.
