Chapter 322: Rats Crossing the Street

The next morning, the superintendent Huang Erding went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Huang Erding is also a member of the Donglin Party, but he is just a pawn.

As soon as I walked down the alley where I was renting, I saw a group of porters sitting in front of the steamed cake shop on the side of the street, gossiping while nibbling on hot steamed cakes.

Seeing Huang Erding coming over, the porter brushed over.

In the past, Huang Erding also used to have breakfast at this steamed cake shop.

But today, Huang Erding always felt that these porters looked at him a little strangely, so he didn't want to sit with them, so he immediately walked by with his head down.

But the whispers of the porters still reached his ears.

Footman A: "Did you hear that?" Gao Hongtu is a big traitor! ”

Foot Man B: "Really? Isn't Gao Hongtu a member of the Donglin Party? ”

Foot Man C: "What about the Donglin Party?" Can't the Donglin Party be a traitor? ”

Foot Husband: "That's it, some Donglin Party members are bad, even their own people are tidy." ”

Foot man A: "Xiao Ding, you're talking about Zuo Guangxian's old horseman, right?" That old man was stripped naked and tied up in a donkey cart last night, and he really lost the face of his ancestors for eighteen generations. ”

Porter B: "Shhh, be quiet, there's a Donglin Party." ”

Then, more than a dozen porters looked at Huang Erding in unison.

Huang Erding hurriedly covered his ears with his sleeves, and his feet couldn't help but speed up.

Until he walked far away, he could still hear the scolding from the steamed cake shop behind him.

Huang Erding's face fell, it seems that now not only Gao Hongtu and a few of them have been ruined, but the entire Donglin Party has been ruined.

When I walked to the head of Laiyan Bridge, I suddenly heard the voice of my colleague Lu Lang.

Looking up in a hurry, he saw Lu Lang's face flushed, arguing with a group of peddlers.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Lang blushed and reprimanded, "It's true that there are traitors in the Donglin Party, like Gao Hongtu and Zuo Guangxian, they are all traitors, but most of the Donglin Party members are loyal ministers, and the Donglin Party still has many loyal ministers, for example, Jiang Gelao and Zhang Dasitu are loyal ministers, and there are also official ......."

"You're a liar!" A childish voice suddenly sounded.

"Liu Mazi said that the Donglin Party is all traitorous ministers, and there is no loyal minister!"

"Liu Mazi is a storyteller, can you believe what he says?" Lu Lang suddenly became anxious, "This official is a dignified seven-grade imperial history, isn't what he says better than a storyteller?" ”

"Then are you a Donglin party?" Someone else asked.

"This official is the Donglin Party." Lu Lang nodded, and said, "But ......"

However, before the words fell, rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and all kinds of filth came over with a slash on the head and face.

"This person is the Donglin Party, there is a Donglin Party here, everyone come on, kill this Donglin Party, kill this traitor, kill him, kill him, kill him!"

Public opinion in Nanjing as a whole may not have turned so quickly.

However, public opinion in the area of Caiku Street and Gongyuan Street has taken the lead in turning, and almost overnight, the Donglin Party has changed from a loyal and good person praised by everyone to a street rat that everyone shouts and beats.

Lu Lang actually wanted to try to argue, and opened his mouth to shout: "You listen to me......"

However, before he could finish a sentence, a packet of unknown things smashed into his mouth and cracked, and then a smell that was difficult to describe with pen and ink was fed back to his brain through the taste buds on his tongue,! And it's shit!

Lu Lang immediately fell to the ground and retched violently, almost spitting out all the bile.

But the peddlers, pawns, and the mother-in-law who got up early to buy vegetables still didn't let him go.

All kinds of filth still rained down on Lu Lang.

Thanks to Huang Erding, he rushed in and dragged Lu Lang out at the risk of death.

Otherwise, I don't know what will happen.

……

Xu Yingwei emerged from the crowd, turned into an alley, and came to a carriage.

First, he took a deep look at the side curtain of the carriage, and then said respectfully, "Holy Lord." ”

Good guy, Chongzhen is sitting in the carriage, and the good show of besieging Yushi Lu Lang just now was also secretly instigated by Xu Yingwei and a few Qinwang scholars.

Chongzhen was worried that he would be recognized, so he didn't lift the curtain.

Instead, he asked through the curtain of the car: "Youzhen, you don't think this is a bad thing, do you?" ”

"Of course not." Xu Yingwei said solemnly, "At an extraordinary time, we should do the law of the non-church, and besides, our Shizi Battalion is just giving back to him in the way of others, and the Donglin Party has done the first year of junior high school, so don't blame the Shizi Battalion for doing fifteen." ”

"Okay, Youzhen, that's what I admire most about you." Chongzhen said happily, "Knowing the current affairs and knowing the advance and retreat, this is more rare than you charging alone against hundreds of Jiannu white-armored soldiers." ”

"The students are ashamed." Xu Yingwei hurriedly said, "I don't dare to be so ridiculously praised as a saint." ”

"Go ahead." Chongzhen smiled and said, "Continue to strengthen propaganda, and after today, we will make the Donglin Party in Nanjing and even the entire Jiangnan completely reduced to a street rat that everyone shouts and beats." ”

"Student Command." Xu Yingwei got up and walked away.

Xu Yingwei walked away, but Zhu Cijiong's voice sounded in the carriage: "Father, the propaganda of the Shizi Battalion is so effective, why wait until today to use it?" It's long overdue for them to get the word out. ”

"Jiong'er, you're wrong." Chongzhen muttered, "Everything needs to be guided according to the situation, and if you blindly do things with half the effort, maybe the final result will be counterproductive." ”

After a pause, he continued: "For example, if the public opinion war with the Donglin Party had not been foreshadowed in advance, if there was no questioning by Biyong last night, and if there was no Huang Zongxi and they escorted Zuo Guang to the street first, then even if Xu Yingwei and they told the sky, even if Liu Jingting said it all over the world, few people would believe it." ”

"But with the Biyong case, with Zuo Guangxian parading naked on the streets, everything will fall into place."

"At this time, Xu Yingwei and they only need a little guidance, and they can easily arouse the public anger of the people in Nanjing."

"After all, your father's image in the eyes of the people is also very good, not only knows the soldiers, can win battles, but also is a rare benevolent and righteous king."

……

"What bullshit, the righteous king? Phew! ”

Hu Kedu dusted off the filth on Luo Wanxiang's body in the matter, and scolded with disdain.

"Luo Wanxiang, shut up for me!" Hubu Shangshu Zhang Youyu's face collapsed instantly, just say this kind of thing behind it, now it is on Gongyuan Street.

"Da Situ, the lower official is telling the truth."

Luo Wanxiang said: "Chongzhen is really insidious, last night Huang Zongxi and others escorted Zuo Duxian naked to the banknote library street, obviously under the instructions of Chongzhen, and this morning the banknote street, Gongyuan Street, and the hawkers on both sides of the Qinhuai River and the reaction of the small people in Shengdou are also very unusual, and the lower officials suspect that someone is hiding behind the instigation. ”

"Doubtful?" Zhang Youyu snorted coldly and said, "Do you still need to be suspicious of this matter?" ”

"So Da Situ also thinks that someone instigated this matter?" Luo Wanxiang suddenly perked up when he heard this, and said, "In this way, the lower official will go to Ying Tianfu and instruct Ying Tianfu to investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

"This honest idiot is talking about dreams!" Zhang Youyu reprimanded very unceremoniously.

"Ying Tian Governor Jin Xuan is one of the Nine Emperors who went to the disaster, will he take care of you?"

Luo Wanxiang said: "Jin Xuan, he can ignore the lower officials, but he can't ignore Da Situ you, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaoyu sighed and said: "In normal times, Jin Xuan naturally didn't dare to ignore his own official, but at this time, our Donglin Party was implicated by Gao Hongtu, and it has become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats......"

As he was talking, a noisy drum noise suddenly sounded at the street intersection ahead.

"Look, there is a sedan chair for a big official here, go over and take a look, take a walk."

Immediately, the family guarding in front of Zhang Youyu's sedan chair shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Stand up, this is the honor guard of today's Hubu Shangshu, who dares to be presumptuous?! ”

"Hubu Shangshu Zhang Youyu?"

"Zhang Youyu? It seems to be a Donglin Party as well. ”

"Zhang Youyu is the Donglin Party, and he wanted to rob the Holy Interior Office at the beginning."

"How dare you go against the Holy One? That's a traitor, big guy, greet me! ”

Immediately, all kinds of filth rained down on Zhang Youyu's official umbrella official sedan chair, and after a while, Zhang Youyu's official umbrella official sedan chair and the family members who were guarding the surroundings were already full of filth.

Zhang Youyu hid in the official sedan chair to avoid being splashed.

But the sour smell couldn't be stopped.

At that moment, Zhang Youyu said with a dark face: "Go home!" ”

I can't go on this day, so I can only be at home.

……

Wuyi Lane, Scofa's Mansion.

Looking at a painting on the desk, Shi Kefa was silent for a long time.

Stilwell stood in front of Shi Kefa with a respectful face.

Shi Dewei is a native of Datong, Shanxi, originally to aid the suppression of the capital, Chongzhen was accepted as a righteous son by Shi Kefa in the eleventh year, and has been by Shi Kefa's side since then.

"Longjiang." Shi Kefa asked, "Is this really what the Holy One said?" ”

"Father, this is really what the Holy God said." Stilwell said with great certainty, "My son remembers it very clearly, although he doesn't dare to say it word for word, but the general meaning is definitely not bad." ”

Shi Kefa sighed lightly and said a nonsensical word: "The bird's ambition is clear?" ”

Stilwell didn't know what Shi Kefa meant by this, and said: "Father, son thinks that what the saint said is to induce Gao Hongtu to relax his vigilance, so he can't take it seriously. ”

"Long Jiang, you're wrong to think so." Shi Kefa said solemnly, "The Holy Lord is thoughtful and far-sighted, how can he talk casually in front of so many officials, gentry and scholars in Biyong Ming Hall? ”

"Since the Holy One has said so, then he will definitely do so in the future."

After a pause, Shi Kefa laughed again: "It's really ridiculous to say, Gao Hongtu and these national thieves did not hesitate to kill the monarch and rebel desperately to get it, but it was originally intended to be given to them by the Holy Lord, hehe." ”

"After all, they have mistaken the saint, and the father has also mistaken the saint."

"Today's saint can really be called a rare emperor in ancient and modern times, a holy monarch."

Stilwell's expression was solemn, he didn't expect his father to speak so highly of the saint.
