Chapter 519: Fate? (below)
The actions of the eunuch Wang Jing have been continuous, and it is impossible to stop because of anyone. He instructed his godson Wang Chen to recruit hundreds of people from Suzhou Prefecture in one go, most of whom were idle scoundrels, and there would never be a shortage of such people in a densely populated metropolis like Suzhou City.
Then he sent his minions to attack separately, first looking for the merchant who refused to claim the salt lead, and went to the door to extort and extort everything. It is even rumored that the female dependents of two families were robbed and humiliated by scoundrels, and the master went to the eunuch to complain, but was seriously injured and thrown out.
Hearing these news, Tang Guangde, who was hiding in the mansion, couldn't help but rejoice that he had foresight, otherwise the Tang family would inevitably face the dilemma of family ruin.
Fang Yingwu said to the left and right: "Of course, Wang Jing's plan is not just this 20,000 silver, he deliberately did this, with the intention of intimidating and establishing authority. In order to make the locals afraid and afraid, it is convenient to further accumulate wealth. ”
Wang Jing and Fang Yingshi were both indignant, and asked rhetorically: "Such evil deeds, heaven is intolerable, can no one control him?" ”
Fang Yingwu could only sigh: "A eunuch like him is a slave of the Son of Heaven, and he is ordered by Qin, if the Son of Heaven does not open Chrysostom, who can discipline him?" Even if he is holding the Shang Fang sword in the play, he can behead traitors and local tyrants, but he has never heard of being able to behead eunuchs. ”
At the same time, the villains who had defected to the procuring eunuchs were ordered to investigate everywhere, throughout Suzhou and nearby counties. The content of the inquiry is naturally who is richer, and who has rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
The Son of Heaven likes these, and the eunuchs who go out of the palace to procure must not only collect money. And try to collect these playthings.
Of course, as a eunuch ordered by the emperor. It is impossible for the prince to fight with open fire and directly snatch other people's treasures and antiques. Some façade work still needs to be talked about. So an announcement was also issued to show the public:
"The Qin sent to procure the eunuch king as an official business. According to the order of this supervisor, he purchased calligraphy and painting toys and put them on for the royal view. All gentlemen and people, if they have savings, they are allowed to send them to the official to return to the barter at the parity price. If the prison asks for the purchase by name, but there is still a deliberate concealment, in order to resist the edict and ask for the crime, the official of the first person will give a reward of five taels of silver. ”
Yes, Wang Jing's father-in-law was very merciful in adopting the method of "redemption". Use silver to buy treasures, but generally the price is about ten taels.
When encountering Wu Daozi's character, this kind of superb antique calligraphy and painting will definitely be appreciated by the Son of Heaven, and the prince will also be very knowledgeable to add a few taels. If the owner refuses to sell, it is a good reference to come to those merchants who cannot claim the salt quotation.
Immediately, more than a dozen families were affected, and an ancestral treasure was only exchanged for a few taels of silver, and there were those who wanted to cry without tears; Offering treasures, but being accused of being fakes, tortured and coerced; was named, and there were eunuch minions who broke into the house and searched for it
For a time, people in Suzhou were panicked. Especially the more famous rich families and those who have treasures hidden in their homes. lest sitting at home behind closed doors, disaster will come from the sky, and the originally enviable wealth will suddenly become the bane of disaster at any time!
Of course, if you don't want to hand over something. Those who are bankrupt take thousands of silver out of the river, and maybe they can spend money to buy peace, and those who break their wealth and eliminate disasters are less than this amount. The prince can't look down on it, as long as the things don't need money.
This morning. Fang Yingwu continued to do radio exercises by the lake in the mansion boringly, and continued to enjoy the taste of loneliness like snow in life.
Fang Yingwu was thinking wildly in his head. It's really boring to wait for the thunder or rain and dew of the imperial court, and I knew that I should play in Taihu Lake for a few more days to spend time. And if it weren't for the scruples of being decent, you should visit the flower boat or something.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu, who had been single for two months, was ready to move. Suddenly, at this time, he faintly heard some noisy sounds, interrupting Fang Qincha's reverie, but he couldn't really hear it, and he didn't know where the Dao came from.
So Fang Yingwu turned his head and shouted to Fang Yingshi: "Go and find out the report and see what's going on!" ”
Fang Yingshi took the order and left, and it didn't take long for him to come back in a hurry, and the other party from a distance shouted: "Something is wrong, something is wrong, the miscellaneous servants guarding the door in front reported that there were many people outside the gate, and the number was uncountable for a while!" ”
Fang Qincha, who has been deserted for a long time, subconsciously felt a little excited, this day is about to fade out of the bird, it can be regarded as a lively to watch! Then he reacted, this is only afraid that it is his own trouble, and it is better not to have such a bustle.
With a group of subordinates to protect himself, Fang Daqin hurriedly came to the vestibule. When you get here, it's obvious, it's almost the same when it's not a lot of people outside, and the buzzing noise can't stop pouring into your ears. But after mixing together, they couldn't hear what the outsiders were saying.
The handyman guarding the door quickly came over to salute and asked, "Does the master want to open the door and look outside?" ”
"Don't open the door, move a ladder!" Fang Yingwu instructed. It's better to be cautious! The ghost knows who is outside the road, what if the door is opened, and they take advantage of the situation to rush into the mansion?
The handyman brought a ladder and, under the command of Fang Yingwu, found a shelter with shade around the wall, and set up a ladder. Then Fang Yingwu climbed the ladder himself, climbed to the top of the wall, and raised his eyes to look out.
But I saw that there were 100 people gathered outside the gate of the mansion, and when I looked down from above, it was densely packed with human heads, filling the open space between the opposite waterway and the gate of the mansion, and talking about something with each other, with different expressions.
If you look closely, there are many of these 100 people who wear silk and satin, and there are long and small servants waiting around them, and they do not look like poor people.
For a while, Fang Daqin was inexplicable, and with his shrewdness, he couldn't think of such a person blocking his door to do anything.
If it is a scholar who loves to make noise, or a person who is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, it is easy to understand. A group of people who look like rich people, what are they gathered here? Do they not spare their lives, and they are not afraid that they will fall with their own swords?
For the sake of his own image, Fang Yingwu got down from the ladder, casually pointed to an attaché, and ordered: "You go up and shout, ask them what they are doing here!" ”
The attaché went up and shouted, "Why do you dare to gather in front of the gate of the Qincha if you are not doing your job?" It's not going to disperse quickly! ”
I could only hear the buzzing outside suddenly quiet, and then it turned into a noise, and a huge sound instantly climbed from the side of the wall into the side of the wall. No need to convey it to the wall attaché. Fang Daqin also heard it clearly.
"We have been persecuted by eunuchs, and we have no way out. Ask the old man to take care of him! ”
"I am willing to bid a hundred taels for only three rooms in the mansion. It's so much that it's filial piety to the old man! ”
"If the family is in trouble, there is nowhere to redress the grievances, ask the master of the Qin mission to be the master of the people, and the small one will be worshiped for generations by the immortal card!"
"I am a relative of Tang Yuanwai, and I specially came to visit Tang Yuanwai, and I begged Master Qincha to be kind and let me go!"
"Today, Master Qincha let me in, and immediately offer three hundred taels!"
The shouts came into his ears, and Fang Yingwu and Yigan looked at each other, when did this Qincha Mansion become a refuge?
At this price. If you put it all in, won't you get tens of thousands of silver at once? Qin Cha and their entourage couldn't help but sigh with emotion: There are so many rich people in Suzhou
You must know that a skilled worker in this year only has a salary of one or twenty taels a year, and a few dozen taels is enough to buy a pretty good house in Suzhou City. If you are willing to spend a few hundred taels to enter the door of the mansion, what kind of situation will you have to be forced to?
Facing the impact of grabbing huge profits, Fang Yingwu shook his head fiercely and threw the shining silver ingots out of his mind. No, it's not a matter of money, it's an angel of the court. It represents the face of the imperial court, and the residence of the mansion is the rudder of the imperial court, how can the issue of decency be measured by money!
At this time, it is difficult to take the opportunity to make money for the people, so what is the difference between the other great Qincha and the procurement of eunuchs and princes?
Okay. The mansion occupies only such a large area, even if Fang Daqin has the intention to take in so many people, there are not so many places to accommodate hundreds of people who may drag their families with them
The attaché on the wall received new instructions from Lord Chincha. Then he opened his mouth and shouted to the crowd outside: "You are all from Suzhou Prefecture, if you ask for it." At the request of the local division!
The yamen of the prefecture and county are responsible for guarding the land and being close to the people, and they will weigh your requests! The Chin Cha was not an official close to the people. Why did you come to the mansion to harass you? ”
An old man stepped forward, walked to the base of the wall and shouted, "This old man doesn't know, we have all been to the palace!"
The prefect himself came forward to explain to us: The prefect is only a magistrate, and his duties are limited, and he has nothing to do about the evil deeds of the eunuchs. But he had already taken the risk of taking the matter of procuring eunuchs to loot the place to the imperial court, seeking a way out for the people of his house. In addition, the government is really ashamed of the people, and there is no other way!
But Fuzun also said that there was another Fang Qincha in Suzhou City, who also had an edict from the imperial court. With the minister of the Qin mission not being as restrained as the place, I can go to the mansion and ask Fang Qin to be the master! If you really can't do it, you can also go into the mansion to avoid trouble. ”
Hearing the cause and effect, Fang Daqin was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven! couldn't help but curse: "This bastard old horseman, he should be killed!" Damn it! This kind of politician is not enough to achieve more than bad things, and they should all be killed! ”
Over the years, he Yingwu has seen many officials and politicians, this Li Zhifu may not be a shameless one, but it is definitely the most disgusting one! Governor Li just pushed people to himself, which was completely a practice of not considering the consequences!
The imperial court has set up hundreds of officials to perform their own responsibilities, and when they encounter hard ideas, they don't have to bear the slightest responsibility, so what do you want him to do as a pro-people official? He is just a messenger who supervises grain, not a governor who accepts civil affairs, so what authority does he have to make decisions for the people?
As for what adventures are played in the court, they are all bullshit and fart, and they are not forced to go to the court by other parties!
After scolding Governor Li, Fang Yingwu frowned tightly. The crowd has already poured in front of the mansion to ask for help, the scene is boiling, can I be like Governor Li, can I be completely irresponsible and act as if I didn't see it?
What makes Fang Yingwu even more speechless is that he has always been good at coercing public opinion, but today he is coerced by public opinion. No wonder Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said that the people are like water, and the water can carry the boat or overturn the boat.
But if you want to meddle in this matter, it is to pick up the flag and do the right thing with the procurement of eunuchs. Although Fang Yingwu was not afraid of eunuchs, this was not his original intention, at least not under the current situation of limited power.
Fang Yingwu sighed helplessly, could it be that this is the fate between Shilin Qingliu and the pickled eunuch? Even if you don't want to fight the enemy, there are people who coax the seedlings to create a situation and force the enemy? (To be continued......)
