The situation in Qingzhou Mansion began to be turbulent, and the two sides were still in a stalemate.

On the fourth day, a large number of grain, rice and other materials transported from Jimo Yingcheng entered the Qingzhou Prefecture, and the General Military Mansion began to sell at a parity in the city to suppress grain prices.

At the same time, Wang Jing, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, also brought a large number of merchants from Jimo Yingcheng to bring all kinds of commercial goods, all of which were sold at a low price, which greatly relieved the tension of the people in the city.

At the same time, the deadline for the general military office's announcement had passed, but few merchants in the city had opened the market, and no merchants had surrendered to the general military office. In fact, there were also some small shops that were afraid of the notice of the General Military Palace, and secretly opened their doors, but then they seemed to be robbed and smashed by some hooligans and ruffians, and the shopkeepers were beaten, and the rest of the merchants did not dare to come out again.

There were still many people wandering around the streets of the city, and a discerning person could see that most of them were a group of officials, merchants' domestic slaves, associates, and a large number of local ruffians. They gathered in groups of three or five, either shouting loudly or holding a large number of anonymous posters, and continued to post posts all over the city.

Outside the state administration and the general military mansion, at this time, there was a sea of people, and a large number of businessmen rushed to gather to petition. Huang Mingde, the scholar of the prefect's yamen, also went out again, leading hundreds of scholars to fiercely denounce the scourge of commercial taxes.

Huang Mingde stood outside the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion and spoke in one breath for half an hour, and the soldiers also kept clamoring. At this time, Huang Mingde's heart was happy, and he was about to continue his speech.

Suddenly, a tsunami-like voice came from the east: "Wan Sheng!" The sound resounded throughout the city, and hundreds of scholars here suddenly fell silent.

Then the ground seemed to tremble faintly, like the sound of a large group of men and horses marching neatly.

The sound of neat footsteps was getting closer and closer, and Huang Mingde and the others looked at each other: "What's going on?"

At this moment, the house slaves, men, and ruffians who had gathered in the streets rushed back one after another, only to see the people shouting in horror: "The soldiers of the General Soldier's Mansion are on the street!" ”

Huang Mingde and hundreds of scholars were dumbfounded, the General Military Mansion wanted to suppress the scholars and the people, how could this be good, and all the scholars shouted for Huang Mingde to hurry up and come up with a strategy.

But where does Huang Mingde have any ideas, at this time, like everyone else, he has a panicked look, and his face is like ashes, and many people have already made up their minds to run!

Huang Mingde's face was pale, he didn't expect Liu Yan to dare to send troops to suppress it, at this time Huang Mingde plucked up his courage and said loudly: "Don't panic, don't panic, I don't believe it. Isn't he afraid of the official chisel and the iron pen of history? ”

As soon as these words came out, many scholars seemed to have found the backbone, and many people echoed them.

"Yes, I, we and others ask for their lives for the people, and we are passionate about righteousness, although we die, we don't care!"

"In the past, there were Suzhou five righteous people who resisted the eunuch party power traitor, not afraid of rape, and finally left a name in history, as a tombstone, the husband is the great man of life and death, and the husband is more important than the community, that is, Liu Yan oppressed the scholar to reward, and we are calm and not afraid!"

Huang Mingde saw that everyone responded to him, and his heart was also raised, and he waved his hand and shouted: "All the gentlemen go up with me, and reason with the soldiers and horses of the General Military Mansion, and see if they dare to risk the world's condemnation and slaughter the merchants!" ”

The crowd flocked forward, and the merchants and scholars united as one, holding banners aloft and chanting all the way to the east of the city. There are also a large number of house slaves and ruffians holding tiles and stones, or rushing in groups of three or five, or scattered around, and everyone walks mightily!

Suddenly, a deafening sound of birds sounded, and then an exclamation sounded, and the tide of domestic slaves and chaotic people rushed back, and they shouted hoarsely: "The soldiers and horses of the General Military Mansion have killed people, and the officers and soldiers have killed people!" ”

The crowd was in chaos, Huang Mingde and the others were stunned at this moment, and the businessmen and others who mixed in were also shocked: "Liu Yan, he really dares to do it?" ”

The sound of the neat footsteps of the soldiers of the new army of the brigade kept coming, and then a voice sounded: "The general of the general of the general of Qinglai Town: The soldiers and horses of the new army will begin to quell the chaos, arrest the slaves and thieves, and kidnap the traitors, and the whole city will be immediately under martial law." General order: Do not gather in the market, do not riot, and do not insult the government. Violators will be punished with disobedience, and they will be killed! ”

"The soldiers and horses of the General Military Mansion are the division of benevolence and righteousness, there is no way to harass the people, the army and the people are at ease and wait for the chaos to be peaceful, no need to panic!"

This time, in order to deter those businessmen and scholars to the greatest extent, Liu Yan ordered Shen Tuo to lead the soldiers of the middle battalion to the street to quell the chaos, at this time Shen Tuo was riding on a war horse, he was fully armored, and the soldiers behind him were also wearing iron armor and iron helmets.

In front of such an army, Huang Mingde suddenly felt how ridiculous what he had done these days!

Looking at the merchants, scholars, and a group of wanderers, house slaves, and family members gathered in the streets and alleys, Shen Tuo didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, and directly took out a piece of paper from his arms and announced: "According to the order of the general soldier, arrest the slave thief Huang Mingde and others, and take it immediately." You need to focus on the court and society, and work together to take the traitors. If you dare to obstruct it, you will be complicit! ”

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Huang Mingde was immediately stunned, when did he become a slave and a thief!

Huang Mingde hurriedly shouted: "Nonsense, nonsense!" I'm by no means a slave and a thief, Liu Yan is talking nonsense! ”

Shen Tuo's face was cold, he waved his hand directly, and said sharply: "Take people!" ”

A team of soldiers of the new army rushed towards Huang Mingde like wolves, and Huang Mingde shouted: "No, don't, I'm not a spy!" ”

A few house slaves in his house, as well as the scholars next to him, subconsciously blocked the front.

But I only heard a loud sound of birds, and suddenly the blood mist splashed, and these people were all knocked out, and they fell to the ground and died, and they couldn't die anymore!

Seeing their miserable appearance, many businessmen suddenly blew up their nests, and a large group of people ran towards the new army!

"Put!"

The deafening sound of birds sounded again, and in the rising gunsmoke, more than a dozen people were knocked to the ground again!

Huang Mingde subconsciously wanted to escape, but he was faced with a heavy gun, and his face immediately blossomed, and the blood flowed like an infusion.

He covered his face, fell to his knees, and screamed loudly in pain! At this time, everyone must not act rashly, otherwise they will be judged as slaves and thieves, and they will be killed on the spot! m.

Amid the stern shouting, the procession of merchants who had formed a pot of porridge finally stopped, and they all stood blank and dumbfounded. And the house slaves and ruffians around them also hurriedly knelt on the ground, and some people were shocked to realize that they were holding tiles and stones in their hands, and they hurriedly threw them away!

The thick smell of blood filled the sunlight, and many people couldn't help but vomit when they looked at the corpses on the ground and heard the injured moaning in unison. Some people were even more afraid to cry, the previous morale of all people was gone!

The situation has taken a turn for the worse, so that many scholars can't react, isn't it a just act to fight against the collection of commercial taxes, why has it suddenly become a disaster for the slaves and thieves? Some people were killed in front of their eyes!

At this time, Huang Mingde was thrown to the ground by several strong New Army soldiers, twisted his hands, and was firmly trapped.

Shen Tuo took a deep look at him and shouted: "Huang Mingde will be put into custody and interrogated immediately, and all the people present will be taken into custody together, and after the suspicions are cleared up, I will ask the Lord of the General Town to make a decision." ”

In the face of the crime of traitor, all the businessmen present did not dare to move, but just let their lives cry, like the end of the world.

At the same time, the soldiers of the new army of the brigade began to go around, and all the soldiers arrested people according to Liu Yan's deployment, according to the roster, and sealed a large number of shops in the city of Qingzhou Prefecture, in an orderly manner, almost within one day, seven or eight out of ten shops in the city were seized!

Things have become like this, and the people in the city can't reflect it, but fortunately, the soldiers and horses of the General Military Mansion have indeed committed no crimes, which makes them feel a lot more at ease. Many people hid in the streets and houses and discussed, and it didn't take long for a large number of officials and businessmen such as Xuezheng Huang Mingde to be a Tatar.

At this time, many people are scolding, these dog thieves who kill a thousand knives are actually spies for the Tartars, it is not an exaggeration to cut them with a thousand knives. Many people are even speculating that these strikes and market strikes in various parts of the Qingzhou Prefecture will be instigated by these meticulous works?

The sound of breaking down the door continued, and all the officials on the list, whether civilian or military, were all arrested by the officers and men of the new army. Regardless of the officials and businessmen, whether they are thousands or hundreds, the chief flag officials, or the gentry and merchants, they are directly taken from their homes, and everyone's families are monitored. At the same time, all the land in their names was sealed.

In this process, as long as someone dares to resist arrest, it will be a killing on the spot, and the sound of the bird gun rises and falls in the city, and it seems that there are really many people who can't recognize the situation!

With a loud bang, the door of a house in the city of Qingzhou Mansion was broken open by the soldiers of the new army, and two teams of soldiers of the new army poured into the house, which was the residence of Wang Chuan, the official of the hundred households of the left guard of Qingzhou.

Seeing the soldiers of the new army breaking into the door, everyone in the house was shocked and angry.

Wang Chuan rushed to the front yard as soon as possible, scolded a few times angrily, and then led a group of family members to step forward violently, all of them holding spears and sticks. But before they rushed to the front, the flag commander of the team leader said loudly: "Today, we will investigate the Qingzhou Left Guard Hundred Household Officer Wang Chuan's enemies and slaves, the evidence is conclusive, and the chief military officer of Qinglai Town will order him to be arrested. ”

Wang Chuan was shocked and angry after hearing this, his brain was a little short-circuited, and then he shouted loudly: "Liu Yan, who is so bold, dares to fabricate evidence and frame ......"

Before Wang Chuan finished speaking, the leader of the flag said coldly: "The chief military officer of Qinglai Town has an order: those who dare to raise troops to resist will be killed!" ”

After speaking, the flag commander gave an order, and a deafening sound of bird guns sounded, and more than a dozen bird guns aimed at the family in front of him and pulled the trigger!

The blood mist shot out, and those family members fell like ears of wheat blown by the wind, and Wang Chuan was also shot, and he was beaten so badly that he fell backwards. When he arrived on the ground, he was already exhausted, but his eyes were wide open, staring at the sky, and his face was full of disbelief!

The rest of the family members were all screaming, and the cold voice of the leader of the flag leader sounded, and there was a roar of birds, and many of them were knocked to the ground.

"Search for me, and don't leave a house behind!"

As soon as the flag commander gave the order, all the soldiers rushed in and began to search Wang Chuan's house, which immediately caused Wang Chuan's family to scream.

On this day, there was chaos in the city of Qingzhou Prefecture, and a large number of troublemakers, merchants, soldiers, and wanderers in the streets and alleys were killed and injured, and many people were caught on the street.

At the same time, the houses of dozens of officials in the city were raided and raided by the soldiers of the new army, and all those who resisted were killed on the spot.

The prefect Wang Congyi hid in the yamen, his face was ugly. I thought that this turmoil would soon subside, and it was just an ordinary protest, but I didn't expect it to involve the slaves and thieves.

Wang Congyi still didn't believe the fact that the people from the General Military Mansion came to report the situation, but when the situation gradually got out of control, and when Wang Congyi saw the list of slaves, Wang Congyi had to believe it.

"Killed, killed!"

Wang Congyi's face turned pale and muttered: "This Liu Yan is really a dead hand, how can you get along in the future!" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
