Chapter 185: We Demand Severe Punishment for the Gentry

That's the way the world is.

In the face of matters involving their own safety, everyone is reluctant to be the first to eat crabs.

But when others are the first to come out and get a lot of benefits, basically no one can sit still.

Zhou Shunsan can get the land back, and I can go too.

So all kinds of 'Zhou Shunsan' came to the county government and took out the evidence that he had buried for many years, and wanted to get back the land that belonged to him. By the way, I sued again to avenge the persecution of the year.

Naturally, there are fakes in these 'Zhou Shunsan', and they came up with fake evidence to try to fish in troubled waters, but most of them were found out.

As more and more bitter masters joined, these famous families who had stood for many years were stripped naked one by one, and even the last fig leaf was gone.

The eucalyptus was judged day by day, and the forcibly occupied fields also retreated acre by acre. Public opinion has also been gradually provoked, and the goal is surprisingly unanimous. Severely punish these profiteers and gentry who are the party to the disaster!

Since it is engaged in public opinion, it is necessary to be thorough. If you rob other people's land, they will say hello? I will return the land you robbed to the people, can the people not say that I am good? Don't accept Bibi?

June 28

A large group of peasants came from outside the city of Nanjing, and there were seven or eight thousand people. They were all peasants from Su Songchang and other places, and at first the defenders in the city thought that they were people who were being fanned again, and were about to send people to suppress them, but who knew that these people stopped outside the city in an orderly manner.

"What do you guys do?"

The sergeant defending the city asked cautiously.

"We are all farmers everywhere! There is only one purpose for coming to Nanjing this time! Ask the imperial court to severely punish the gentry everywhere! The leader at the front stepped forward without hesitation.

"They are doing evil, for the sake of the township, we are all victims of being bullied by them! Among us, the light ones have become tenants, and the day is precarious. The heavy family is ruined, and the wife is separated. We are here today for one purpose! Asking the court to punish them severely, this is our common will! ”

"What's your name!?"

"Grass people Zhou Shunsan! People from Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture! ”

"You wait here for the time being, and I'll report back to the above."

After layers of reporting, the news reached the ears of Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department. Xiong Mingyu felt that he couldn't make the decision on this matter alone, so he found Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, who served as the garrison of Nanjing.

There is no mistake

"Grandpa! There are seven or eight thousand people outside asking for orders outside, asking the imperial court to severely punish the gentry of various prefectures who were arrested a few days ago. ”

"It's not our business, and we can't do it. The people were caught by Tian Er, and now they are all locked up with him. Let's go find him, and let him report this matter to His Majesty first. ”

"Also, I'm in a hurry. So go now? The people were all outside the city, and after a long time, I was worried that something would go wrong. ”

"Let's go."

After saying that, the two got up and walked out.

Before I reached the door, I ran into a subordinate who came in to report it.

"Grandpa, Otsuka Zai, the commander of Jinyiwei has sent Tian Ergeng here."

"Oh? What a coincidence, please come in. ”

After a while, Tian Ergeng strode in, and as soon as he entered the house, he said with a hearty smile:

"I heard you two are coming to me?"

"Exactly. Presumably, Commander Tian already knew that there were seven or eight thousand people outside the city at this time, asking for their orders to be severely punished. Commander Tian came to handle it at the behest of His Majesty, and I am afraid that Commander Tian has to come up with an idea on this matter. ”

"I have come for this purpose, and I have already reported it to Your Majesty. Presumably, the decree will arrive in a few days. ”

"That's good." Xiong Mingyu heard it and put his mind at ease. Since you don't have to make your own decisions, that's the best.

"What about the people outside the city?" Xu Hongji asked a crucial question.

"Let's send them off first."

Xu Hongji nodded in agreement.

Tian Ergeng smiled on the side, dismissed? You give it a try.

Xiong Mingyu sent soldiers from the city to the outside of the city, intending to persuade the people to go back.

"Folks, your wishes are already known above. Go back, rest assured, as mentioned above, this matter will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”

"What reply? We don't go, we're waiting here. Zhou Shunsan shouted loudly in the crowd!

"Who knows if you're trying to trick us back! Who knows if you are officials and officials who protect each other and let them all go! We must punish them severely, otherwise we will not be the unlucky ones in the future! Isn't it true that everyone said? ”

"That's right! If they could still turn over, wouldn't I have been killed? No way! We have to see them beheaded before we go back! Are you in their group? I don't care about you! If I don't roll and beat you to death! ”

"That's right! Can't go back! ”

"Beheaded!"

"Punish the murderer!"

Zhou Shunsan's words once again ignited the atmosphere of the masses. Everyone understands the reason, although the accusations against these gentry have benefited them, but they have also completely pushed them to the opposite side of these people. If you can't step on these gentry once, it will be them who will suffer in the future.

Although Zhou Shunsan's words do have the element of fanning the atmosphere, to a certain extent, they do represent the voice of most people.

The soldiers who went out of the city to persuade looked at the excited people and ran back to the city in a panic.

If you accidentally say the wrong thing, who will you reason with if you are really killed?

Fortunately, although these people were very excited, they still maintained order and did not take a step closer to the city gate.

On the city wall, Xiong Mingyu and the others looked at the emotional people outside the city and rubbed their hands in embarrassment.

"How is this good?" If nothing happens, it's okay, if something goes wrong, he Xiong Mingyu will definitely lose his head.

"Otsuka Zai, why don't you just send troops to suppress it! Kill a few and be honest, where to send it! Xiong Mingyu's subordinates suggested compassionately!

"No way!" Tian Er roared loudly, scaring everyone present. They all looked at him suspiciously, okay, what are you shouting?

Tian Ergeng also realized that he had overreacted a little, and touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Outside the city are His Majesty's people, and it is reasonable to finally turn over from the persecution of the gentry and demand that their murderers be severely punished. You can't shout and kill just because you act too aggressively, right? Who are you? Any current position? How can you be so cruel to the people under your rule? ”

Tian Ergeng immediately launched a back-hitting rake skill, which frightened the official who had just spoken and shrunk his neck and did not dare to respond.

Xu Hongji, Xiong Mingyu and others looked at Tian Ergeng who was righteous.

A few days ago, you didn't kill a lot in the factory of Global Commerce, right? Those are not His Majesty's people?

"What should I do? What can be done to get them back? ”

"Why do you have to let them go back? If they are willing to wait, let them wait. His Majesty's will arrive in a few days at most, and when His Majesty's will arrives, will they be satisfied with the result? These days, we just need to let them eat and drink well, and don't go wrong, right? ”

Tian Ergeng said on the side, the old god was saying.

"How can it be so simple? These people can't listen anymore. Xiong Mingyu glanced at Tian Ergeng. What you said is light, and you Jinyi Wei will kill and bury it, and you are not responsible for the problem.

"If Otsuka Zai is not at ease, this matter will be handed over to us Jinyiwei. I promise that I will be able to calm the emotions of the people. If something goes wrong, I'll take it all by myself. Tian Ergeng seemed to see what Xiong Mingyu was thinking.

"Commander Tian makes this true?"

"Seriously!"

"That's good. The matter was handed over to Commander Tian. If something really goes wrong, I'll have to read your copy. ”

Tian Ergeng pursed his lips, ignored him, and walked down the city wall to the outside of the city.

When the people outside the city saw Tian Ergeng wearing a flying fish suit, they knew that this official was not small. They all stepped forward to prepare for the results of the interrogation.

"Folks! I'm from the capital! It was Your Majesty who heard of your suffering, and sent me here to thoroughly investigate the bad people who persecuted you! Since we have come all the way from Beijing, we naturally want to get justice for you! The bad guys will be punished as they deserve! I have reported your thoughts to Your Majesty! In five days at most, His Majesty's will will be given!

Right now you have two choices, one is to wait for the outcome!

The second is to go back temporarily.

Those who are willing to wait here have been eating and drinking for the past few days! And provide you with tents! But there is one requirement, not to be noisy! It must not affect past business travel! You can't enter the city in a group!

If you don't want to wait, you can go back. ”

After speaking, Tian Ergeng glanced at Zhou Shunsan and the others in the front row.

Zhou Shunsan understood and immediately shouted loudly.

"This is a big official from the capital! Definitely not in league with them! Folks! We're just waiting here! Anyway, there is food and drink! You must have watched those bad heads fall to the ground! ”

"That's right! Don't go! We believe that the one sent by His Majesty must be a good official! ”

Seeing Zhou Shunsan and others lobbying in the crowd, Tian Ergeng smiled with satisfaction.

You who fan the masses are bad seeds, but we who shake the masses are heroes who uphold justice.

The new Jinyi Wei Zhou Shunsan, good job!
