Chapter 194: Attacking in a Crowd
"Zhao Cheng, what are you doing here, it's not your duty to build a dam, right?" When the hundred households saw Zhao Cheng coming, they didn't have the slightest discoloration on their faces, but they looked like they should be. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Qiu He, is it your duty to obstruct the construction of the embankment?" Zhao Cheng didn't let in the slightest, staring at the person opposite, and said sharply. He knew this person, it was Qiu He, the hundred households of the guard stationed in Changning.
"Haha, I heard that there are gangsters who colluded with Liu Liu and Liu Qi to intercept the river and destroy the passage in the name of building a dam, and they also plan to impound water to flood Changning County and do things that hurt the heavens and reason. I am a local hundred, and of course I want to stop such behavior. Qiu He was unhurried, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You fart, this building a dam is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, you don't have to talk nonsense. As soon as Zhao Cheng heard this, he immediately scolded, can you still talk a little more? This big nonsense is too nonsense.
"Well, have you ever been ordered by the county order to build the embankment?" Qiu He was not annoyed when he was scolded, and asked rhetorically. His tepid words, like a spider's web, began to gradually trap Zhao Cheng in.
"Naturally, I got it. Zhao Cheng is not a stupid person, and he can see that the other party has been prepared, but he did not leave a flaw in his mouth.
"Okay, in that case, let's invite the county magistrate to come here to confront him, but I heard that you and Xu Jiang have set up the county decree together, which is really bold. Qiu He smiled coldly, his eyes looking Zhao Cheng up and down.
"You go and call someone, I'm afraid you won't make it. Zhao Cheng felt more and more bad in his heart, he had never looked down on Li Baiqing, but he didn't expect that Li Baiqing would have something to do with the officers and soldiers of the guard. The guard and the county government were not subordinate to each other, and they rarely interacted with each other, and he never thought that the two would collude together.
"No need to call, the official is here. Li Baiqing strode over, and behind him, there were many businessmen in brocade clothes and sturdy coolies.
"Lord Prefectural. Although Zhao Cheng hated this troublemaker in his heart, in front of outsiders, this face project still had to be done. After all, it is a taboo in officialdom for officials to set up officials and empty officials, and if it is spread out, it will not be good for anyone.
"Zhao Cheng, you are so bold, a month ago, you dared to kidnap the young master of the Shen family, extorted 100,000 taels of silver, and built this embankment without the permission of the official, is it really your own that the world of the Ming Dynasty is your own?"
"Severely punish the wicked and restore the waterways!" And after Li Baiqing finished speaking, the businessmen behind him protested loudly. Because of Fang Hong's retrograde waterway, a large whirlpool was born at the junction of the Gong River and the Luotang River, and the merchant ships could not come at all, so that these merchants lost a lot of money, and of course they had to resist the construction of the embankment.
"Li Baiqing, don't go too far, you think I don't know, you didn't encourage these people to come over to seize power. For his own selfish desires, he ignores the big rights and wrongs, which is really a despicable villain. When Zhao Cheng saw the faces of the people in front of him, he couldn't help but scold angrily.
Although he hasn't read any books, he has been the head of the team for so long, and his words are fierce.
"Zhao Cheng, your ability to fight back is on the rise, but you are just verbally playing prestige, I now order, I have been removed, obediently tie your hands and arrest it, if you dare to resist, you will be punished for rebellion. Li Baiqing looked at Zhao Cheng with a smile and said happily.
He has been planning for this day for a long time, don't look at him as he was transferred from elsewhere, but his uncle served in the Sixth Department in Nanzhili, and his subordinates naturally have some energy, and this hundred households in Changning is one of his followers.
It happened that Zhao Cheng and Xu Jiang committed their own deaths, both blackmail and water conservancy, and more coincidentally, these things also touched the interests of businessmen.
Although Emperor Taizu hated merchants very much, but in the entire Ming Dynasty, the status of merchants was unprecedentedly high, not only businessmen could participate in the imperial examination, but also many big businessmen were manipulating the policies of the Ming Dynasty, and the energy was very terrifying.
Li Baiqing took advantage of this opportunity to hit it off with the merchants of Changning, and united to attack Zhao Cheng and them, coupled with the power of the guard, he could completely crush Zhao Cheng and them.
"Master Chenghuang, hurry up and save your life, the little one can't hold on. Looking at the faces in front of him that were either sneering or hideous, Zhao Cheng secretly called out to Fang Hong in his heart, and right now, only the Great Master of the City God could save him.
However, his call was like a mud cow entering the sea, and he didn't react at all, because at this time, Fang Hong was immersed in the river water, and it was difficult to wake up unless someone shook his body.
"Kuye, I knew that there would be such a situation today, so I brought someone from the Inspection Division. Zhao Cheng felt bitter in his heart, this time he came with only a dozen officials, among these officials, although they were his cronies, they had no interests with him, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not rebel.
"Zhao Cheng, don't tie your hands yet!" Qiu He took a step forward, pulled out half of the waist knife in his hand, and said with a loud shout.
"Arrest me even if I rebel! Even if you rebel, you don't want to be captured! Even you chickens and dogs, you deserve me to surrender?" Zhao Cheng also pulled the waist knife in his hand, he had his back against the old man of the city god, and he was also a little bold, plus the faces of Li Baiqing and others were really ugly, which also angered him.
"Okay, finally tell the truth, come on, arrest them for me!" Li Baiqing laughed loudly, can such words as rebellion be said nonsense? As soon as he waved his hand, the officers and soldiers of the guard station marched together and surrounded Zhao Cheng and the others.
"I have taken care of this matter alone, so don't mix it up with it, lest it harm your lives. Zhao Cheng looked at the people outside and knew that he was not an opponent, so he shouted to the officials on the side.
"Boss...... How you treat me, I know, my family was poor in the past, if you hadn't helped me, I would have starved to death, and the daughter-in-law in my family was also introduced by you, although it was a little ugly, but I can run a family and give birth, my Hou San is given by you in this life, and I have to keep your life!"
"Good boy, it's a man! If you don't want to go, you won't leave, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu will be your follower in the next life, let you be the leader, and make you majestic. Zhao Chengyi patted Hou San on the shoulder and laughed. In this life, it is worth it to get someone who can give you his life suddenly!
