Chapter 134: Blooming Face
Zhuang Rou didn't stay up all night waiting for them to give away the shares, but after eating the wontons, she said goodbye to Xu Tongju and went back to sleep.
And most of the people in the prison ate wontons, which cost a few pennies a bowl, and it didn't cost much to eat them all. However, Tian Haiqing's Sihai Gambling House soup was not drunk, and he was not very hungry, but he was so angry that he only felt that he didn't eat that bowl of wontons, and his whole life was not perfect.
Tian Haiqing hated Zhuang Rou to the core, the largest gambling house in the entire Hongzhou is the Four Seas Gambling House, and the three achievements of one family are about the same as those of more than a dozen others.
He would never agree to give so much money to the government for nothing, let alone that the clan would have to pay from it, and there was no spare money for the government at all.
And the Tian family is the most powerful family in Hongzhou, when is it not sideways, where has it been this kind of anger.
The Song family has the support of county men, and although the Xu family is mediocre but has many people, the Tian family, which has people in the court, is the strongest family. A second-grade minister, three fourth- and fifth-grade Beijing officials, plus a large number of clansmen who were sent to other places as officials, simply stood like a boulder in Hongzhou, and they couldn't move half a hair of the Tian family.
Tian Haiqing sat on the ground with a gloomy face with everyone, thinking about how to make Zhuang Rou unable to survive and die.
Under their curse, Zhuang Rou didn't have a nightmare and slept well, and slowly ate breakfast before going to the prison department.
Lin Sijiao had been waiting for her for a long time, and there were too many connections to get people to fish, and he couldn't cope with it, so he just waited for Zhuang Rou to come and release people.
"Zhuang Dianshi, you're finally here, hurry up and release people."
"No problem, let people prepare paper and ink first, and write down the paperwork before leaving." Saying that, Zhuang Rou called a few handymen, set up pens and ink on the table, and called three scribes to ask them to call those gambling houses and Qinglou to write documents.
The mothers who were locked up next door didn't know about it in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, they learned from various means that all the gambling houses bowed their heads and handed over shares, how could they still hold on.
I even heard that Song Yuxiang of Shuiyue Pavilion had already joined forces with the government, if she hadn't taken the means with the Four Seas Gambling House that day and left with everyone, she would have handed over two percent. This extra layer is the conspiracy they played.
I don't know where it started, but it was rumored that the extra Yicheng was going to be given to Song Yuxiang, so she came out to frame everyone. Even that Cheng Yidao, she deliberately led it to Shuiyue Pavilion, and took the opportunity to ask the government to send someone to arrest her.
This step by step can be said to be a step-by-step operation, playing with everyone in the palm of her hand, and she is worthy of a woman with a Song County man behind her.
Song Yuxiang argued a few words at first, but no one heard that the female prisoner ate the wontons last night and was from the Shuiyue Pavilion. At that time, the girls still felt proud, and despite Song Yuxiang's stopping, they secretly showed off.
Later, I learned that the people who voted for the government had this wonton to eat, and I couldn't tell if I smashed the bowl this time.
After Zhuang Rou arranged it outside, she began to bring people out to write documents to sign and seal, even if you didn't have a seal, you can press your handprint, not afraid that they will run away.
Because how can you go to the merit monument, even if you don't want to be close to the government, you can cheer up and not let yourself look too depressed. If you are not happy, you have to pay this money, it is better to laugh, and save yourself from being found an excuse to find trouble.
The writing was done quickly, and the people were released in batches, and it was solved in one morning. There are only two left, the Four Seas Gambling House and the Water Moon Pavilion, and they are unwilling to sign this document, and they have a posture of fighting to the end.
Especially the girls in Shuiyue Pavilion, all of them have not suffered this kind of crime for many years, and they keep crying and scolding against the prison door.
Zhuang Rou didn't hear it, and happily put the pile of documents into the warehouse and sealed them, and planned to talk to Wu Tongzhi and ask him to send someone to check the accounts of each family. Otherwise, how could she know how the business was and how much money she had to pay every month, this kind of thing should have been taken care of by Tongzhi, and she didn't want to do such a troublesome thing.
She didn't go to see Chu Xia all day, that kind of person didn't want to see her, so let him die.
At noon, the restaurant brought food, Zhuang Rou invited Wu Tongzhi to have a meal in the government office, and handed over everything to him. The point is that the importance of this money will not be tight in the future, but it will depend on this.
Wu Tongzhi naturally knew, patted his chest and swore that he would definitely do things well, and he would definitely not charge a penny less.
"Then please let Wu Tong know about this matter, and I will toast you with tea instead of wine." Zhuang Rou raised the teacup and did it first as a respect, so that Wu Tongzhi quickly raised the teacup and poured a cup, and now he is still in the office, so he is not allowed to drink.
When he put down the teacup and wanted to ask if all the money he collected was handed over to Lord Zhizhou, a servant rushed in and reported in a panic: "My lord! Oh no, a lot of people came outside to surround the yamen and demand that their relatives be released! ”
When Wu Tongzhi heard this, he quickly stood up, "Why are the people making trouble again, aren't all the people letting go?" ”
"My lord, they are all from Tianjiazhuang, and they have sealed the gate with sticks! Xu Tongju has already sent someone to inform Lord Zhizhou, and please ask Lord Wu to hurry up and take a look! The official said in a hurry, "No one wants a riot to happen."
At this time, Zhuang Rou looked at them curiously and asked, "A few Diao people can surround the yamen, and they still take the guys, just kill them and lock them up?"
Wu Tongzhi didn't have time to explain, so he had to call her, "Zhuang Dianshi, you can understand when you go out with me to have a look, why can't you take care of it." ”
Zhuang Rou had to go out with him, wanting to see what was so great about the people of Hongzhou, who could directly block the gate of the official mansion.
When she came to the door, she saw that the gate was closed, and several ladders had been erected by the wall, and some officials were stepping on them, and they were looking out carefully from the top of the wall. And there were also neat shouts outside the door, shouting over and over again to let the Tian family go.
There were also eggs and rotten vegetables thrown in, and the officials only kept dodging, and there was not even a person who opened the door and shouted loudly. Compared with the momentum outside, the people in the yamen are as weak as a group of quails.
Zhuang Rou felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, how could there be such a weak government, so she found a ladder and climbed up, and just went up to the wall and showed her head, a black shadow flew over.
She quickly reached out and grabbed the object, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be a rock. The eggs that were thrown just now are directly on the stones, this is trying to kill people!
"That's the one she caught! Dog officer! The **** who doesn't abide by the woman's way smashes her! There was a shout of rage from below, and more things were thrown at him.
A fist-sized stone was caught between the egg leaves, and it flew towards her head, and she grabbed it after giving way to two eggs, and glanced at the crowd below.
The other men and women had eggs and vegetables in their hands, but the gray-haired old people and children of about ten years old or younger were holding stones in their hands.
So that's what happened, children and old people......
Zhuang Rou stared at Xia Yi and laughed, and one of the old and the young took the stone again, and threw it at her with a shout in his mouth.
I saw Zhuang Rou's eyes squinting and revealing a fierce light, and the two stones in his hand were thrown out at the two of them, and they really hit their heads directly.
"Ahh
The two of them held their heads and screamed, and the blood flowed out, so frightened that the old man fainted directly, and the child was already crying in pain and fright.
The Tian family was stunned for a moment, and someone who reacted quickly pointed at Zhuang Rou on the wall and shouted: "You dare to hurt the old man and children!" There is no humanity, the official messenger has beaten people, and the official messenger has killed the people! ”
"Huh?" Zhuang Rou tilted her head to look at them inexplicably, and had already caught a stone in her hand, and raised her hand to throw it at the shouting person.
The stone slammed into his face, causing him to bleed from his nose, break his teeth, and cry out with blood all over his face.
