Chapter 227: My Favorite Stick
"It's in order!"
About half an hour later, Wang Yue ignored the mess around him, and even the uncovered blood stains on the ground, and walked into the Hongqing Palace with a satisfied face, as if a tragedy that had killed twelve Confucian students and injured more than 100 people had never happened......
But order is indeed in order.
Yang Zaixing and the soldiers with iron shovels did a good job of calming down the city.
In front of the ancestral temple of the Zhao family, those officials, Confucian scholars, and civilians all looked at this number one rebel minister of the Great Song Dynasty with trepidation, but he was currently the most powerful person in the Great Song Dynasty, feeling the murderous aura that was being exuded from him.
This murderous aura made these officials and Confucian scholars who were accustomed to the groveling of military generals very unaccustomed.
They finally realized a terrible truth, the proud soldiers who once dominated the land, but gradually tamed in the tacit agreement of all parties, returned.
The warlords who relied on force to override everyone and forced the literati to become officials before the palace were once again like demons emerging from the ground, returning to the world they had already thought were perfect, brandishing their iron maces and riding horses, trampling them under their feet again.
All civil officials and Confucian scholars were silently looking at Wang Yue's arrogant figure.
Lightning erupted in silence!
Hatred brews in silence.
Wang Yue still turned a blind eye to this, he symbolically came to the minister's festival, and worshiped Zhao Da Zhao Er and Zhenzong inside, although he had no respect for the father and son of the sorghum river car god, but the three of them seemed to be placed together, and he was not good for people to throw the father and son of the sorghum river car god out!
Well, isn't that a rebel?
The king of Zhongshan is a loyal minister, a loyal minister like Zijin Liang in the Great Song Dynasty.
"You have to be like me, to the official family and to the Great Song Dynasty with a pure heart, and truly loyal to be a loyal minister, I know that you are very dissatisfied with my arrest of you, but at this moment, it is not in the public outside, it is just a few of us, you yourself say it with your conscience.
Are you faithful to your officials?
If you are really loyal to the official family, you will not let the emperor leave, in the end, you are still at both ends of the first rat.
So is there anything wrong with me arresting you?
Originally, you only needed to intercept the Emperor Taishang, or even simply block a few boats on the canal, so that the official family would not fall into this embarrassing situation, but because of your disloyalty, your first rat let the Emperor Taishang at both ends, so that the official family had to face this situation of causing trouble, and I also had to take the army south. It is also appropriate to kill you for this kind of consequence caused by you, but I am still very reasonable, and I was also promoted by the Emperor, and I know that it is difficult for you to make up your mind in the face of the situation at that time.
So I give you a chance to atone for your sins. ”
Wang Yue looked at Xu Churen and Sheng Zhang and said.
Both of them were also injured, but they were just ordinary stampedes, so they looked a little embarrassed, but they were actually not serious.
"King Zhongshan, please command."
Sheng Zhang said tremblingly.
"It's very simple, so many of my brothers went south, but the official family has not given me the usual money because of the empty treasury, so far, this is definitely not good, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, they go south to quell the rebellion, so this military salary can only be raised by the local government.
Nanjing is also a rich place, and it is not difficult to come here.
I don't want much.
500,000 yuan! ”
Wang Yue said.
"King Zhongshan, Ying Tianfu really has no money, all the things that can be used here before were taken by Li Yan to recruit troops to the north, and then due to the lack of money in the imperial court, all the money and food provided here were sent, and now it is all that can be provided for the army to eat and drink. If the king of Zhongshan doesn't believe it, even if he goes to search, Yingtianfu, Hongqing Palace, and the left-behind division are everywhere, and they can be searched as much as they can, and all the lower officials will give them, but the lower officials will tell the truth, there is really no money here! ”
Xu Churen said in a low voice.
He was telling the truth, last year, Wang Jun swept away all the warehouses in Yingtian, and when the great painter passed by, he took away all the scum that could be scavenged at the end.
He really has no money for Wang Yue here.
"I also know this, but there is no money here, just the government has no money, and the folk gentry must have money in their hands, I remember that Zhang Fangping's family is here, right? The Prime Minister's house, hundreds of thousands of yuan is not a gesture? And the Wang family is at most time, seven or eight brothers are officials in the same dynasty, is such a family still not the same as gold and silver? There is also the Chu family, Chu Zhaofu is a famous general of the Taizu Dynasty, and now that the country is in trouble, his descendants should contribute some money, right?
It's called a stipend.
The two of you can go to this Ying Tianqi Wang Liu Li Chu Zhang Zhao Cai Teng and other families for me, and enlighten them well, they are all full of poetry and books, and they understand the righteousness, and it is also their duty to help the court to quell the rebellion.
But if they are not sensible, they can also explain it to them.
I'll have to change my identity.
It's just that my identity will cause them some inconvenience, so I can only say sorry in advance. ”
Wang Yue said with a smile.
Sheng Zhang and Xu Churen looked at each other......
"Send two bachelors!"
Wang Yue said.
Yang Zaixing immediately stepped forward with the handle of the knife......
"Dashuai, do you need to shackle them to prevent them from escaping?"
He asked.
"No, we have to believe the two bachelors, and besides, the Yin family of Xufu is ripe, if he dares to run, we have to go to his house to see if he has any daughters and granddaughters or something."
Wang Yue said.
Xu Churen glanced at them sadly and angrily, and then left helplessly, as for the result of their persuasion, of course, there could be no result, these celebrities of the family were angry because of Wang Yue's evil deeds.
Give him back the money?
Why?
What's wrong with people not paying taxes?
Since the taxes have been paid, there is no obligation to give him again, not to mention that it is still 500,000 guan, of course, it is impossible not to give it, 500,000 guan is impossible, 50,000 guan is still okay, in the end, it is not good not to give this demon some money after all, take out 50,000 guan and coax him to leave quickly, otherwise it will not be good to really provoke him and make trouble again.
In short, when it was dark, Xu Churen and Sheng Zhang gave the results of lobbying, and the main families of Tianfu agreed to give 50,000 yuan in aid, and in addition, they gave 10,000 silver coins to the king of Zhongshan alone.
And then......
"What are you going to do, I'm Jinshi, I'm Jinshi......"
Teng Kang roared angrily.
Behind him, Yang Zaixing kicked his noble buttocks without hesitation, and then the poor Jinshi lay directly forward on the steps, because his chin hit the stone, and immediately fell out of his mouth full of blood, he looked at the blood in front of him and screamed in horror.
"Jinshi?"
A voice sounded above him.
He looked up in amazement.
Then Wang Yue's terrifying face appeared in his field of vision.
"Jinshi should lead by example, add 10,000 yuan to Teng Jinshi's family, how much should he give in total?"
Wang Yue turned his head and asked.
"Back to Dashuai, originally his family's share was 50,000, and adding 10,000 is 60,000."
The minions said.
"Teng Jinshi, this is Ling Lang, let Ling Lang go back immediately to prepare 60,000 yuan, and then send it as the Teng family's assistance for the emperor, if it is not sent tomorrow morning, then my brothers can only go to your house to get it, but at that time, take more or take less or take away the ladies of your mansion together, then don't blame Wang for not saying it in advance." Invite Teng Jinshi to the torture cell of the prison, tomorrow morning I will see less than 60,000 yuan, and I will directly put a clamp stick on him, remember, you must use a clamp stick, I like to use a clamp stick the most. ”
Wang Yue said with a smile.
If the subsidy does not give face, of course it has to be changed to Liu Zongmin's trick, and if the subsidy does not work, the salary will be tortured, in short, the money must be made.
"The last general also likes the stick the most, Master Jinshi, do you like the stick?"
Yang Zaixing looked at Teng Kang and said.
The latter was so frightened that he quickly shook his head......
"Then don't you let your son go home and prepare 60,000 yuan!"
Yang Zaixing kicked him to the ground again.
The poor old man screamed in horror, holding his head in his hands, and hurriedly urging his son who followed him to hurry back and prepare the money, while the rough soldiers around laughed, and even the idlers who were also watching the excitement laughed. After all, looking at the high-ranking Jinshi master in the past, he is like a beaten dog at the moment, and he is almost wagging his tail and begging for mercy at these soldiers, this kind of scene is really worth hapting.
For others, of course, this feeling is not at all......
"Is this an official or a rogue?"
A young green-robed officer in the crowd said in a low voice of indignation.
"It is both an official army and a rogue, this Wang Yue acted like this, using the heart of plundering the gentry to buy the army and the people for his use, and using the chaotic soldiers and the people as his minions like a rogue coerc, and finally became a sweeping trend. This was the case last time in Kaifeng, the rebels did not know the loyalty, and the mercenary was motivated, so the traitor lured them with profits, so that the originally tame people were as violent as tigers and wolves, and finally unstoppable like a flood beast.
This demon.
It's simply a disaster star that troubles the world! ”
A man beside him who was dressed in a Confucian shirt, but was obviously much older, said.
"In this way, it doesn't matter if the capital is not gone, the official family is subject to this thief, after all, it is just a puppet, the momentum of the military ministers has been completed, and the matter of the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals is repeated. Now it seems that it is not as good as the emperor, the emperor is just pampering the eunuchs, the eunuchs are powerless after all, but the official family is subject to the military ministers, and the military ministers are the ones who want our lives, and my generation would rather be the emperor than such an official family!
This traitor cannot be allowed to run rampant any longer, and if this continues, all the hard work of the Gongon princes for two hundred years will be in vain.
Five generations of troubled times will be repeated. ”
The young man said.
After speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation, and walked towards the south with a face of justice that worried about the country and the people.
The older man looked at Teng Kang, who was dragged in, sighed helplessly, and then turned around and followed the young official to the south, and at this time, several Tai students who were originally watching also silently turned south.
