Chapter 648: Back to Beijing
The reason why Hua Shaosheng went to the county government to find Li Xun is very simple. The hundreds of personal guards led by Gu Feng and Zhao Tong were more and more excited. He had already attacked the general's mansion, but was blocked by the guards of the general's mansion.
These people were all personal soldiers brought by Zhao Tong. Hua Shaosheng did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he could only find Li Xun.
Gu Feng was Zhao Tong's personal military commander during this trip. He had a conflict with foreigners. Asxs. Ten days ago, a large restaurant with a strong religious color was opened in Wu'an City. This restaurant is one of the best in Wu'an City and even the entire Wuzhou. The owner of the restaurant is also a very famous person among the foreigners in Longyou. Therefore, on the day of opening, not only was a religious leader with a high status, but even the magistrate of Wu'an County Feng Jiming also attended to help.
On the day of the opening of the restaurant, although many people were invited, including local officials like Feng Jiming, and some local gentry and famous people, more were foreign religious people. This event was jointly organized by Feng Jiming, in order to further strengthen the national integration policy formulated by Li Xun and deepen the friendly relationship between foreigners and Han people. Therefore, many people came, but they were not open to the public. Coincidentally, several subordinates of Gu Feng also came here on the same day and prepared to join in the fun. After Li Xun's efforts for several years, the Han and foreigners were able to live in a relatively friendly and peaceful manner, and the relationship between the two sides was getting better and better.
Although it was not open to the public, but Gu Feng's subordinates had a very arrogant attitude and insisted on going in, so the gatekeepers did not insist. They were allowed to let them in. Who knew that after drinking too much, these soldiers were actually foreign women teasing the restaurant. This was definitely a taboo in any country and any ethnic group. The two sides clashed, and the soldiers relied on their weapons to hurt people, and eventually completely angered all the foreigners present. Several soldiers were beaten half to death on the spot. Gu Feng, who knew the news, immediately led hundreds of soldiers to the scene, with extremely tough methods, and rushed into the restaurant on the spot, smashed, and killed.
If Zheng Chun hadn't led thousands of soldiers to mediate in time, the situation would have ended.
The outbreak of this incident was just a prelude. Zheng Chun's actions were greatly dissatisfied and criticized by Zhao Tong. He immediately asked Zheng Chun to immediately mobilize troops to the city and severely suppress foreigners. Zheng Chun naturally refused to obey.
Gu Feng actually suffered no losses, just a few soldiers suffered some skin injuries. However, in the conflict in the restaurant, more than a dozen foreigners were killed. After waiting for several days, they did not see any actions from the officials. Hundreds of grieving and angry foreigners gathered at the Jiedushi General's Office and demanded that Li Xun support justice.
Such things were not uncommon in the past few years of Li Xun's administration in Longyou. In response, Li Xun once issued strict orders that as long as the foreigners did not act violently, they could not suppress them by force. Instead, they sent officials to negotiate and resolve the problem with gentle means. At that time, the hundreds of foreigners were just sitting quietly outside the gate of the governor's mansion, and there was no other action. Feng Jiming arrived at the first time, persuaded everyone, negotiate and mediated, and Feng Jiming had been patient for several consecutive days.
With the efforts, the emotions of this group of foreigners have been relieved and the matter is about to be resolved, but Zhao Tong was completely unable to understand the matter and felt that this was a rebellion. He severely demanded that Zheng Chun be dispatched immediately to suppress the army. Zheng Chun refused again. Zhao Tong was furious and could not move Zheng Chun, but could command Gu Feng. Because of the restaurant, Gu Feng was already angry. Zhao Tong's order was delivered, and he immediately led the 300 imperial guards and rushed to the Jiedushi Mansion with full arms.
The orders issued by Gu Feng were very tough, and all were arrested, and those who resisted were killed without mercy.
A fierce conflict began immediately, hundreds of foreigners were killed. However, in this conflict, more than 20 subordinates of Gu Feng were killed, and more than ten foreigners fled into the Jiedushi General's Mansion. Gu Feng was furious and immediately wanted to rush in and catch people, but was stopped by the guards of the General's Mansion. However, Gu Feng did not leave, but led the people outside the General's Mansion. Until today, Gu Feng received the exact news that he had killed many of his subordinates' murderers, right in the General's Mansion.
Inside the General’s Mansion, the living room.
You Min hugged her sleeping daughter and shook her gently. A few days ago, she was frightened and she had a little fever these days, but it was not serious. It was just a few days later, and her little face had lost a lot, which made You Min feel very heartbroken.
"Madam, it's all my fault. Those people outside will not let it go. It's better to hand over those foreigners. If it really doesn't work, I can go out and take the blame."
Butler Liu said with a guilty look on his face.
You Min whispered: "Uncle Liu, everyone has saved me, so I have to go to the end. Now let those poor and innocent foreigners be let go to death? We can't be good people, but we will never be evil people."
Youmin is very polite to the butler.
Mr. Liu is nearly fifty years old. He was the first group of servants recruited after Li Xun and his son Guangyuan moved into Fengjing in the fifteenth year of Guangyuan. They were all poor and honest people. After so many years, they were considered to be the elderly of the Li family. Li Xun is a free and easy person. He has no airs at home and is very enthusiastic to everyone. Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu called each other, and everyone is like relatives. You Min has a kind personality. After marrying into the Li family, he is very polite to these elderly people and does not act like a wife.
After Li Xun was transferred to Longyou, You Min followed him. Li Mancang naturally had to make some arrangements, so he sent some elderly people in his family to Longyou to take care of Li Xun and You Min and his wife's daily life.
Uncle Liu smiled bitterly and said, "But... those people are so fierce that they don't hand over the person, how can they solve it?"
You Min shook her head: "You don't understand some things. We can't interfere in this matter. We can only wait for the master to come back to solve it."
Uncle Liu nodded: "I heard from Hua Shaosheng that the young master seems to have returned to Wu'an City. He is such a big official, so he should be able to solve the problem."
You Min looked at her daughter and gritted her teeth and said, "It was all caused by your cruel father. When I come back, I will settle the score with him."
Li Xun led thousands of soldiers to the Jiedushi General's Mansion. Gu Feng and others were pulling each other with the guards guarding the gatekeeper's mansion. Many of the guards in the General's Mansion looked angry, but because of Hua Shaosheng's orders, they were still trying to restrain themselves. Gu Feng and others were excited and arrogant, and they almost drew their swords to chop people. If this continues, the two sides will soon have a conflict.
Seeing this scene, Li Xun was angry on the spot and shouted: "Stop it all for labor and capital."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Li Xun.
Gu Feng rushed over and pointed at Li Xun and shouted: "Li Xun, tell your people to get out of here. Today, I will not break the corpses of dogs and bastards and I will never end up with you."
