Volume 1 Paragraph 23 Zhongxian
At the time of Mao, if it is in normal times, at this time, the county government should beat the drum and tie it in accordance with the rules and start to go to work. The rhythmic syllables, at this time, only the dots were performing the routine, which were struck by the officials patrolling the prison.
Zhang Wen climbed the bell tower and looked at the situation outside the county office, the chaotic people were gone, and there was still a group of bitter and bitter people outside. These people did not dare to attack the county government, first, they had no weapons, and second, their enemy was Huang Qi, and they did not want to attack the government and rebel. As long as the people have something to eat, they generally will not rebel, this Shangyu County is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the people's livelihood is still rich, and most people are not a problem to eat.
The officers and soldiers who had stayed up all night under the bell tower, because there was no movement, some had fallen asleep against the wall, and the awake people found the magistrate on the bell tower and hurriedly woke up the people sleeping next to them. Zhang Wen shouted to the below: "Line up the troops, go out with this officer to catch the thieves!" ”
Everyone brought their weapons and lined up in the courtyard of the gate. Zhang Wen took the long sword and walked out of the bell tower, the groom led the horse over, Zhang Wen climbed on the horse, and said to everyone: "Under the Lang Lang Qiankun, how can you allow thieves to make trouble?" Open the door! ”
The officials carried the heavy wooden square and took it off, slowly opened the gate, outside the door was the Xiao wall, Zhang Wen rode his horse out, the officials hurriedly followed, bypassed the Xiao wall, and the crowds outside were the people. When the people saw a large number of officers and soldiers pouring out, they were very panicked and at a loss.
The archers backed against the Xiao wall, lined up, stretched their bows and arrows, and aimed them at the people. As the team burst out of the gate, the horses neighed incessantly, and the scabbards clanged against their bodies.
Finally, someone in the crowd came back to their senses and realized the danger, and one person exclaimed, turned around and ran, which immediately brought about a linkage effect, and the crowd became chaotic. When the archers saw so many people crowded, they also panicked, so they released their arrows, and the people in front of them were shot and wounded, which increased the panic even more, and when they saw that the officers and soldiers were about to kill, everyone rushed to flee.
"Don't shoot arrows!" Zhang Wen hurriedly yelled.
Seeing that it was a plate of loose sand, the Kuaishou horse team greatly increased their courage, Zhang asked an order, and the Kuaishou rushed up, and the official took the shackles and chain ropes and went up to catch people. Zhang Wen slapped his horse forward and led the horse team to rush back and forth, and the chaotic people ran like headless flies.
Within half an hour, all the people who had gathered in front of the county government to make trouble were dispersed, and only a few people were arrested to take the blame. After the civil uprising, it is necessary to kill people to set an example, and these people must be scapegoats, but they must be declared in advance. The death penalty in the current dynasty needs to be reviewed, and the system of trial at the meeting, the garden trial, and the court trial system is implemented.
In view of the fact that "human life is of the utmost importance, and the dead cannot be resurrected", Yingzong ordered that starting from the third year of Tianshun, every time after the frost falls, but there is a heavy prisoner, the three law divisions will invite many officials, etc., from the actual trial record, Shu is not wronged, and it will always be an example. In addition, according to the Da Ming Law, the execution of the death penalty must be reported to the emperor for adjudication at the end...... These are all going through the motions and coaxing the common people, but it is true that it was a little troublesome to be punished by the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Qi heard that the rioters had been dispersed, so he came out of the county government at this time, and when he saw the people who were escorted in, he walked up and scolded each other with fists and feet.
"You Diao people, do you still have the royal law in your eyes? Gather a crowd to rebel and exterminate the Nine Clans! Kneel down for our family! Huang Qi grabbed the head of a person and punched the man's face, screaming miserably, and his face was covered with blood.
Huang Qi pointed at those people and said to Zhang Wen: "Lord Zhang, give our family a heavy punishment!" Fight to the death, see how many dog lives they have, hum, and our family! ”
Zhang Wen remained silent and said to Soap Li: "Put him in prison." ”
"Call me first!" Huang Qi yelled angrily, at this time there were only two people on his left and right, and he almost became a light pole. Zhang Wen didn't bother to pay attention, and said in his heart If it wasn't for the interference of the Shen family's people last night, this official would not have bothered to care about your life or death.
Although the chaotic people dispersed, Huang Qi's situation was not as optimistic as when he first came, and the minions and accomplices were scattered, which provoked a popular uprising, and the prestige of Shangyu County was ruined, and it was notorious, and it was difficult to do anything else. Huang Qi was worried about being poisoned last night, distraught, and was about to pack up his things and leave.
So far, Zhang Wen has seen that the final winner is still the Shen family, or the Jiangnan landlords, civilians, and tax envoys, and in the end they have made nothing. Huang Qi didn't have a tael of silver in the end, and he had a blood debt, so he had to remember his head, what was the use of being arrogant.
Zhang Wen then came to the signing room, where he actually saw Wei Zhongxian, but Zhang Wen had also seen many eunuchs in the palace back then, and immediately calmed down.
After a long time, Wei Zhongxian's eyes narrowed into a slit, looked at Zhang Wen and said in a low voice: "Our family wants you to do Huang Qi, can you do it?" ”
Zhang Wen was taken aback and made Huang Qi? Is it to kill?
Wei Zhongxian only said one word, closed his eyes again, and rumbled in his throat, as if there was phlegm stuck in it, looking groggy.
Only let Zhang Wen think there by himself. Zhang Wen quickly figured out why they wanted to kill Huang Qi in Shangyu County.
After the birth of the people's mutiny, there will definitely be an official who writes a letter of impeachment, and it doesn't matter if the emperor ignores it, causing public opinion, and even the emperor scolds him. Emperor Wanli must have felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and he couldn't afford to kill civil officials ruthlessly. The tax envoy is about to stink again, Donglin asks for the people's life, and his political prestige is raised again.
At this time, if Huang Qi died in Shangyu County, someone would have taken the blame for the civil rebellion and explained to the world. Let Huang Qi bear the guilt, and he can't be convicted and die, otherwise it is tantamount to admitting defeat to Zhejiang's interest groups, so let Huang Qi die unclear. How did he die, the eunuch can still make a fuss, and Donglin wants to scold, so he is not so arrogant.
Zhang Wen pondered for a long time, and there was only one question, so he said: "Xiaguan figured it out, but why did Gonggong Wei go down to the official?" ”
