Chapter 212: The Gentry Can't Take It Anymore!

After Gu Bingren finished speaking, he returned to his garden from the back door.

But the sound of the demonstration outside still made him restless.

He also walked out, ready to loudly reprimand and threaten the tenant farmers and hired laborers, so that they could understand that the government could support them now, but don't think that the government would always be their backer.

However, the tenant farmers and hired workers of the Gu family not only did not come out to talk to them because of Gu Bingren's son, but also beat them directly, which also made them very angry.

As a result, many of these tenant farmers and hired workers had begun to think of directly and violently confronting the Gu family, despite the resistance of the organizers of the establishment of agricultural cooperatives and industrial cooperatives sent by the National Tax Department.

"Rush in and kill these guys who eat people and don't spit out bones!"

"Let's not talk about rent reduction and interest reduction, and beat us, just like when we begged them to reduce their rent because we didn't have much harvest from the big water, but not only refused to sue the official and beat to death the people who begged us to die, we didn't treat us as a human life at all!"

"Now that Master Hai is willing to call the shots for us, what are we afraid of, rush in and kill them!"

"Yes, kill them!"

For a moment, the crowd was excited.

Some tenant farmers and hired workers have already bumped into the doors that the officials took the initiative to reclose for the Gu family, and some even directly put torches under the eaves of the Gu family to burn down his house.

There are also many tenant farmers and hired workers who can eat white flour buns because they are now participating in demonstrations organized by the National Taxation Department, so they don't care about the roasted sweet potatoes they brought, and they also throw the roasted sweet potatoes directly into the gate of Gu's house.

There are even those who throw torches directly into them.

There is a great deal to evolve into a situation in history where "the people copy Dong Eun".

Gu Bingren was hit in the chest by a roasted sweet potato that suddenly flew in at this time, so that his clothes were full of sweet potato puree, and his chest was stuffy, so he couldn't help but fall to his feet and scolded repeatedly: "Damn!" Damn it! ”

Then, Gu Bingren saw a torch flying over, directly igniting a bamboo forest in his garden gate, and went directly to the backyard on the spot:

"It's a rebellion, Diao Min has rebelled, quickly notify everyone in the family, go!"

Bang bang!

However, at this time, the patrol team also arrived, and also stopped these people who wanted to riot directly in time, and also arrested a few tenant farmers and hired workers who did not listen to the advice and wanted to forcibly break in to violently deal with the Gu family.

Most of the tenant farmers and hired workers who came to the Gu family to demonstrate were young and strong people who did their duty, not local ruffians and hooligans who feared that the world would not be chaotic, so under the prevention of the patrol team and other officials and soldiers, they did not directly carry out too much riot against the Gu family.

Of course, mass movements are inevitably insured.

When the strength of the patrol force and the government was insufficient, a few large squires were violently looted by the demonstrative tenant farmers and hired laborers, and Hai Jui had to punish several demonstrators afterwards.

However, because the government was guiding and cleaning up the aftermath, there was no large-scale riot in the end.

However, Hai Jui and other bureaucrats in the government did not blindly favor the gentry, which still brought a growing sense of oppression to the wealthy right.

Not only because the government did not suppress the demonstrations of rent and interest reductions and money processing, but encouraged them, but also because the government took the initiative to seek justice for the people.

Hai Rui himself left Nanjing and went all the way to Suzhou and Hangzhou to inspect and receive the complaints.

Sun Guangyou was instructed by Hai Rui to inspect the areas of Zhuzhou, Hezhou, Anqing, Chizhou, and Huizhou, and to receive complaints along the way to avenge the people's grievances.

"Zhishi Township Eunuch Fan Baixian teamed up with the magistrate and Xu officials to forcibly occupy the small people Su Biliang's land, killed Su Biliang, and immediately arrested Fan Baixian and the magistrate Xu and imprisoned! Report to the imperial court for disposal! ”

For this reason, Sun Guangyou also directly became selfless, and first directly moved against the returning gentry and their protective umbrellas and minions.

And the inspector Tian Le, because he was patrolling along Yangzhou, Huai'an, and Fengyang, directly imprisoned Yang Sizhi, the son of a bureaucrat who was harassing the post station, and directly removed his fame, and because he beat three people near the post station to death, he was directly sentenced to behead and sent to the Beijing Division.

Hai Rui is not to mention here, he has always advocated strict management according to the requirements of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, so because he saw Shen Nanxin, the grandson of Shen Shiliang, the right attendant of the former ministry, wearing a scarf with a red dress but a scarf with a life logo on his head, he also ordered Shen Nanxin to be taken up and dealt with in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, saying that he did not abide by the etiquette system.

In short, these tycoons were demonstrated at home by tenant farmers and hired laborers, and when they went out, they were dealt with by serious bureaucrats for harassing the inn, acting lawlessly, or not respecting etiquette.

"The younger one is Dong Shangshu's slave Zhang Yingzhi, who sued Dong Sigong, the son of the Dong family, for not obeying him because his sister did not obey him, and killed his sister!"

And because of this, the slaves of large families began to complain to the government.

Hai Rui received a complaint in Huzhou at this time, and immediately ordered the arrest of Dong Sigong, and after finding out the truth of the matter, he said:

"According to the "Da Ming Law", if the slave and maid are not guilty, and the good family beats the slave and maid without suing the official, the rod will be sixty rods, and one year in prison! Directly give this person a cane of sixty heads, and then report to the Criminal Department to arrange a prison sentence! ”

"Slow!"

Zhishi's Ministry of Rites Shangshu Dong Fen rushed over, and when he saw Hai Rui, he arched his hand and said: "Mr. Gangfeng, can you show mercy!" ”

"There is no forgiveness in the law!"

Hai Rui said a word, and then patted the wood and said: "Fight!" ”

Syllable!

Syllable!

Syllable!

So, Dong Sigong was beaten on the spot, and cried out in pain: "Father, I hurt!" You told him to stop! ”

Seeing this, Dong Fen shouted: "Haigang Peak! Are you going to force the old man to die in front of your hall today?! ”

Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "Dong Gong, are you going to force the church to go directly to the main school, your family education is not strict, and you connive at your children and grandchildren to bring disaster to the township?!" ”

"I don't believe that the imperial court really wants to sit back and watch you, a cool official, treat us and other scholars so harshly!"

"Today, the old man will show with blood that Confucian scholars such as us do not want to be humiliated by the strict laws of you and other cool officials!"

Dong Fen slammed into the doorpost as he spoke.

Seeing this, Lu Kun hurriedly looked at Hai Rui: "Ministry, do you see?" ”

Hai Rui said with a calm face: "Let him hit!" If he dares to hit it, it proves that there is still a ridge for scholars in this dynasty, so even if the rent reduction and interest reduction fails, it is another good thing. ”

Lu Kun didn't say anything after hearing this, and only looked at Dong Fen.

Dong Fen ran to the front and back of the doorpost, suddenly stopped again, and then sat down panting and sat next to the door, sneering at Hai Rui:

"How could the old man let you get your wish! Let you go up and say that the old man threatens you with death to implement the new policy! The old man will not be fooled by this! ”

Lu Kun and Hai Rui looked at each other in disappointment.

"Ahh

At this time, Dong Sigong's screams attracted Dong Fen.

Seeing this, Dong Fen's heart ached again, and he was at a loss for a while, glanced at the pillar next to him, but still couldn't make up his mind, and finally only knelt down to Hai Rui:

"Kaibudo! For the sake of the old man, who was also an important minister of the court, to give the old man a face, the Dong Mansion promised that he would never dare to beat the house slave for no reason! ”

Hai Rui sighed.

At this time, the executing soldier came over and said to Hai Rui: "Ministry, there is no gas!" ”

Dong Fen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then sat on the ground and cried, then looked at Hai Rui and said, "Hai Gangfeng, the old man wants to find ginseng for you!" ”

"The matter of the grandson, this church is very regretful."

"But as for Dong Gong to visit the main hall, please do it!"

Hai Rui said, "Who else wants to sue!" ”

"The little one told the book that Master Dong forced the little mother to be a slave, so that the little one was also forced to be a slave of the Dong family since he was a child, and the little mother originally wanted to keep the festival after his father's early death, just because the old man Dong coveted the beauty of the little mother, and fabricated the lie that the little father owed him a loan shark, bought the county, and forced the little mother to be a slave."

At this time, a slave who came with Dong Fen suddenly ran in, knelt in front of the hall and said with tears in her eyes.

Dong Fen was furious: "You! Obviously, your mother is begging to be a slave for my Dong family! ”

"The little ones have a complaint!"

"And the little ones!"

But for a while, several of the Dong family's domestic slaves had to come to sue.

Seeing this, Dong Fen couldn't help but say on the spot: "It's the opposite, it's really the opposite!" Hai Gangfeng, why did you connive at the slaves and maids against us! ”

……

"It's the opposite, it's really all the opposite, then Hai Rui's completely instigated Diao Min is reversed!"

Gu Bingren also took the sweet potato puree all over his body, and after fleeing to Ma Weiming, he said to Ma Weiming, and said with red eyes:

"I want to send a letter to my sons and nephews who are officials in Beijing, telling them that if they can't force Your Majesty to let Jiangling get rid of Haigang Peak, strictly deal with these Jiangling lackeys in Nanzhi, and kill all those Diao people, then my Nanzhi will completely collapse and be swept away!"

"And it will be difficult for them to see their ancestors, their fathers, and their fellow villagers in the future! It's unfaithful, it's unfilial! ”

Gu Bingren said bluntly.
