Huguang followed the Chasi's drafting but had no effect.
because……
Li Xin doesn’t know!
It was just an official document. It was indeed delivered to Xiangyang Prefecture through the post station, but for some reason, it suddenly disappeared. In short, Li Tuiguan did not know that there was this official document at all. He was searching homes in a certain county in Xiangyang at the time.
He is not in Xiangyang Mansion.
It would be too insulting to his intelligence to try to coax him to Wuchang with just one official document.
This is an official document from the prosecutor's office, and it is not an order to arrest him. He can listen if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to listen, he can't. There are many excuses for not thinking about it, but there is no need to go to such trouble, just pretend that he didn't see it, maybe
Some anxious yamen officer casually took it and used it. In short, he didn't see it. Since he didn't see it, of course he didn't need to listen.
Fortunately, Huang Xin had already prepared, and Huang Jiasi didn't expect that an official document could coax him to go.
It would be better if he didn’t go!
Half a month later.
Xiangyang.
Government office.
"Deputy Envoy Song, what crime did you commit as a subordinate?"
Li Xin, who looked dignified and upright, as if he was a loyal minister who had been wronged, questioned the Song Dynasty of the Song Dynasty when he was patrolling Jingnan Road in Huguang, the deputy envoy of the Chasi Division.
At this time, he was allowing the guards brought by the latter to be shackled.
Of course you can’t resist!
He was an official of the imperial court and a disciple of the late emperor, so he must abide by the law. Song Xing was his direct superior and indeed had the right to arrest him.
Deputy Ambassador Song silently looked at this young man who had ruined the lives of more than a hundred gentry in Xiangyang in less than two months. He admitted that this guy was very capable. In fact, the performance of these new scholars from Wutaishan University was even better.
It's amazing. For officials like Deputy Envoy Song who were born as Confucian scholars, even though they denounce them as evil, they have to admit that these guys are all talents.
Be brave and resourceful.
cunning.
He is also brave and not afraid of death, which is particularly impressive. After all, Liu Wen is considered brave and fearless even among generals.
Especially good at instigating troublesome people, Liu Wen was like a rogue in Dengzhou, creating a demonic atmosphere in the entire Dengzhou. Those who didn't know it thought he had arrived at a bandit's den, but at this moment, all the gentry in Nanyang and other prefectures were trembling.
And Li Xin is not bad either.
Not only did he rely on his cunning mind to quickly occupy the commanding heights of the law, directly kicking the gentry in Xiangyang Prefecture into the serious crime of robbing and murdering imperial officials, but he also easily destroyed the resistance of the gentry with just his ability to incite.
Now the entire people of Xiangyang regard him as Lord Qingtian.
Very scary!
This is only the first batch!
If the newly graduated Jinshi in the future are all of this level, then how can they resist?
Zheng Ci is right.
Now is the last chance. If we don't take action now to destroy Yang Feng's layout, there will really be no chance in the future. It won't take as long as five years. When the second batch of new scholars are released next year, Yang Feng will almost be able to control it.
There is a place. Next year, there will be Enke in Zhili Province. The second batch of more than 1,000 graduates from Wutaishan University are already interning. With these, there will be 1,500 people. Li Xin turned Xiangyang Mansion upside down.
, fifteen hundred Li Xin, is there any way for the local gentry to survive?
"Li Tuiguan, twenty-four people from Xiangyang Prefecture jointly sued you for the crime of weaving in Xiangyang. They beat you and arrested 108 families in Xiangyang Prefecture on trumped-up charges and confiscated their property without authorization.
Previously, the Inspector General had issued a document, ordering you to go to Huicheng to confront you, but you were afraid of the crime and disobeyed the order. Therefore, I patrolled down Jingnan Road and, on the order of the Inspector General, came to arrest and escort you to Wuchang.
This is a Zhu ticket!"
Song Xing took out the arrest warrant from the Prosecutor's Office and showed it to Li Xin.
"The case of the Xiangyang gentry conspiring to rob and kill Dengzhou judge Liu Wen was personally experienced by Xianguan. When the conspiracy was carried out, Xianguan was at the scene, as evidenced by the accompanying imperial guards. The thief captured during the rescue of Liu Wen was still there, and the Xiangyang guards who participated were
It can also be evidence. Most of those arrested later have confessed, and the confessions are also there. There are also some artillery and muskets that were found. Li Wenyu, the former minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, can also be evidence. The Prosecution Commission does not believe these conclusive personal and material evidences.
, but believed the one-sided words of a few escaped suspects, and blamed the official. The official was confused. Is it possible that the Procuratorate of Punishment has always been so indifferent to black and white?
As for disobedience, there is no way to talk about it.
I have never seen the official Si Xingwen in charge of punishment and inspection, so where does this disobedience come from?"
Li Xin said.
"Li Tuiguan, please wait until Wuchang to explain this to Huang Jisi!
I am just ordered to escort you to Wuchang."
Song Xing said.
Then he waved his hand.
Then he walked towards the gate of the government office, while the officers were escorting Li Xin. Li Xin walked proudly, and the officials of Xiangyang Prefecture looked at him as he walked by with some bewilderment...
"Everyone, if Li goes there, he may be harmed by traitorous officials. It's a pity that he can't fulfill his promise to you."
Li Xin said with a sad face.
Those government officials suddenly woke up...
"Li Qingtian, you can't leave!"
"Don't let these dog officials take away Li Qingtian!"
…
They immediately rushed forward.
At this time, the yamen service system had not been changed. Zhu Yunxi wanted to change it to the employment system, but before he could do it, the queen's control over the local area dropped sharply after she ascended the throne, and she could not take care of these small things for the time being. Therefore, the current yamen servants and the archers who caught thieves
These are still corvées, that is, common people take turns. So these Yamen servants in Xiangyang Prefecture are local people in Xiangyang who take turns. Li Xin led them to raid the gentry's houses and then divide the fields. They were all having a carnival. Now Li Xin has been arrested.
Moreover, he was arrested because he ransacked the gentry's home. So after going to Wuchang, there was no possibility of coming back. Aren't all the officials in Wuchang working with the gentry?
Those gentry dared to rob and kill Liu Wen. Why didn't the officials in Wuchang dare to let Li Xin be killed violently in prison?
Don’t the government officials still understand this basic operation?
We cannot let Li Xin be captured.
"Bastards, do you want to rebel? I patrol the Jingnan Road separately and have the power to mobilize troops. If you dare to obstruct me, are you not afraid of being beheaded?"
Song Xing said angrily.
He dares to come because he is not afraid of this.
Because of Huang Xin, Li Zhigang dared to take action because he had the support of Xue Peng, a fellow commander in Huguang City.
The latter had already given orders to the Xiangyang Guards that if Song Xing needed it, they must send troops to cooperate. This was not the action of the Huguang Tixingjingshishi Division, but a partnership between the three divisions. In fact, several commanders of the Xiangyang Guards also wanted to kill Li Xin.
The latter ransacked their homes on a large scale, and Li Xin arrested gentry who were friends with several commanders of the Xiangyang Guard. These gentry also had interests in cooperation with the commanders of the Xiangyang Guard.
As Zheng Ci said, the generals of the guard have also begun to gentrify, but they did not dare to openly engage in annexation when Zhu Yuanzhang was alive.
But he dared to cooperate with the gentry and do it secretly.
The government officials were filled with grief and anger and could only stand there and watch silently.
But soon someone woke up, and just as Li Xin was being escorted out, these government officials also began to run outside...
In front of the government office.
"Stop this dog official, he will take Li Qingtian to Wuchang and kill him!"
In Song Xing's astonished eyes, a government official rushed out from beside him, pointing at him and shouting to the pedestrians outside. Those pedestrians all stopped blankly, and before Song Xing could react, they saw
Li Xin in chains. This scene requires no further explanation. A young man carrying a load immediately cursed, threw the load in his hand, dropped the basket of vegetables, and rushed over with a pole.
"Folks, don't let this dog officer capture Li Qingtian!"
he shouted.
Those pedestrians suddenly woke up.
What followed was a chaotic curse, and almost everyone dropped their belongings and rushed over with something that could be used as a weapon.
Song Xing was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated to his subordinates.
"You are bold and unruly to the people. I will patrol down Jingnan Road separately. Do you want to rebel?"
he yelled while under guard protection.
The next moment a carrot flew over, and Deputy Song instinctively raised his hands to cover it, but it was too late after all. The carrot hit him in the face, and blood immediately flowed out of his nose. He screamed, covered his face, and backed away in panic.
. Then more young men came, and his servants were also corvees. Of course, they could not fight desperately, so they had to cover them with their weapons one by one, protect him and return to the government office. Li Xin was taken back by them, and he showed calmly
He grabbed the shackles on his own hands, and then pretended to ask Qing Zhuang to restrain himself, but his shackles were enough. The young strong men who were happily dividing the land among the gentry were already in a rage when they saw him in shackles.
Without Li Qingtian, who would give them the land?
Xiangyang's folk customs have been simple and honest since ancient times. Historically, this area required a special governor to suppress it.
They are so angry that they won't care about your patrol status!
It won't be easy for anyone to come.
They will fight to the death whoever dares to ruin the good life they have just begun.
Song Xing was so frightened that he returned to the government office, and then ordered the servants to close the door. He looked back and saw that the few government servants who were still left were all looking at them with their arms folded and smiling. Even Li Xin looked at the two with a smile.
The yamen servant also ran to bring a chair and tea for their Li Qingtian. Li Xin calmly sat down and looked at Deputy Ambassador Song while holding the tea.
The latter was sitting on the steps, and two guards were wiping the blood from his face. At this time, the area where the carrot had hit him had quickly swelled.
"You think you can protect yourself by inciting these unruly people. You think I will come rashly without making preparations. You haven't figured out the situation yet!"
Looking at Li Xin's face, Deputy Song said angrily.
Li Xin took a sip of tea.
"Deputy Envoy Song, you are the one who has not figured out the situation at this time.
Do you think that if a few local officials join forces, they can cover the sky with one hand? Don't you know who is behind me? Do you think that I am just young and energetic and act recklessly? You have to know what is the general trend of the world, and you just want to stop it
Is this the general trend of the world? You are nothing more than a chariot. Not only do you have no self-awareness, but you are also hopelessly stupid. Ambassador Yang has clearly pointed out the way to you. Look, are the Shanxi gentry living worse now than in the past? They have indeed been divided into fields.
But life is no worse than in the past, and many people are even richer than before. I really don’t understand why you just cling to that little land when there are such examples out there?
The world is big.
King Yan gave a thousand acres of land to each family of those who followed him westward.
But this is just a drop in the bucket of his territory.
Why do you think the land in your hands is so precious that you have to challenge someone you can't defeat for it?"
Li Xin said.
"Are we doing it for personal gain? What we are doing is this awe-inspiring righteousness!"
Deputy envoy Song said angrily.
…
At this time, the outside was surrounded by people who came after hearing the news.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, gather a crowd to surround the government office, are you going to rebel?"
Xiangyang Guard Commander Xie Yuan, who also came with his troops upon hearing the news, shouted on horseback.
However, the people in front of him who had blocked the government office turned to look at him coldly but none of them moved away. Xie Yuan also looked at this scene with some fury in his heart. He did not expect that the matter would be so big.
Peng did give him an order to help Song Xing when he needed it, but he never thought that Li Xin had such a strong appeal that he couldn't even get out of the government office!
There are at least thousands of people gathered here on three floors inside and three outside.
He is also a veteran.
He knew that once a fight broke out, it might lead to a large-scale popular uprising.
"The deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty patrolled down Jingnan Road and was ordered to escort Li Tuiguan to Wuchang. Someone in the Prosecution and Prosecution Department sued Li Tuiguan. The Prosecution and Prosecution Department had to call Li Tuiguan for confrontation. Isn't that just
Convict Li Tuiguan. You obstructed here and besieged the government office, but instead accused Li Tuiguan of inciting rebellion. Please disperse quickly. I am your guarantor and will never allow those traitors to frame Li Tuiguan."
He quickly changed his expression and said pleasantly.
Then……
Still no one paid attention to him.
Those unscrupulous people just looked at him with their arms folded.
Commander Xie became so angry that he pulled out the short blunderbuss without hesitation, pointed it at the sky and pulled the trigger.
"Get out of my way, otherwise I will shoot you without mercy!"
he shouted.
But still no one paid attention to him.
"Aim all!"
he shouted.
The soldiers who followed immediately flattened their three-eyed muskets, put them under their arms, took out their matches and blew them on fire.
At this moment, Deputy Ambassador Song's face appeared on the wall of the government office.
"Thank you General, save me quickly!"
he shouted with surprise.
The people who were already a little shaken looked at each other, and then everyone moved closer, raising various weapons in their hands like spears. There were also a few holding bricks, aiming at Commander Xie from behind. Commander Xie looked at
Song Xing, who was leaning on the wall, looked at the dense crowd of people in front of him, holding another short gun, and was in a dilemma for a moment, but at this moment, there was a chaos behind his soldiers. He hurriedly turned his head and looked back. Behind him,
It was like a mountain torrent of countless young men coming in, and these were not those who came in a hurry from nearby. These young men not only had a large number of cold weapons in their hands, but they even had bows and arrows.
The ones at the front were the manager of Xiangyang Bank and his escort team.
"General Xie, don't do anything stupid!"
The latter shouted.
Immediately afterwards, the ten Jinyi guards came forward. They each showed their yellow hoods and raised their short muskets on horseback.
"General Xie, Sun Cheng, the junior Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, was ordered by General Song Zhong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, to accompany him to protect Li Xin, the official of Xiangyang Prefecture. Li Xin is a disciple of the late emperor and supervises the empress dowager's decree. No matter what crime he commits, he must be punished by
It is handled by imperial decree. Without the imperial decree, no one has the right to arrest him."
Xiaoqi shouted.
Then the scroll in his hand shook, and an imperial edict immediately unfolded...
