"Fellow fellow villagers, please find a way to let me in."
Even at this time, Huang Zunsu, whose face was dusty and panting, still spoke politely to the people.
Everyone dispersed to both sides honestly, but instead of giving face to Huang Zunsu, a new and unfamiliar eighth-grade official, they were suppressed by the Sichuan soldiers under Ma Xianglin.
The policemen, police officers, or archers from the inspection department that the villagers usually see are carefree and shouty, and they are really no different from those green-skinned thugs.
But these sergeants in front of me were holding guns, carrying bows on their backs, and had short blades on their waists. They were a group of about ten people, standing there quietly, without showing their teeth and grinning fiercely.
Feeling cold and having a hairy feeling in the heart.
Even the horses behind them did not shake their necks or snort very much. They stood as still as trees. They were obviously highly trained war horses.
A few middle-aged villagers with some experience huddled behind the rioters and whispered to each other: "Look, those brave soldiers in Songjiang are nothing more than dogs. The ones brought by the Jin Yiwei are wolves."
Huang Zunsu came to the door of Dong's Mansion and said to everyone: "Everyone, this is General Ma. Under the order of the imperial court, he led his elite officers to the six southeastern prefectures to wipe out the evil bandits. The general just cleared out a large number of bandits in the Dianshan Lake area.
The water bandits rushed to my Songjiang Mansion today."
When Huang Zunsu said this, he stopped abruptly, leaving the troublemakers to think about the words behind "Come to my Songjiang Mansion".
Ma Xianglin didn't say anything. He held his hands with a calm expression and looked around at the green-skinned thugs. When he saw that they suddenly turned from arrogant to nervous, he pulled his gaze back to the villagers in front of him.
After the scene was quiet for a few moments, a man who looked like a leader appeared in Fanjiazhuang and said bravely: "Ma, Ma Da, General, we are not gangsters."
Ma Xianglin said "Oh", pointed to a group of people behind the crowd who had been detained by his Sichuan soldiers, and asked him: "Aren't you gangsters? Are you farmers in the county? Then you hold sticks and bring fire things into the city.
What to do?"
The man stepped back and looked for help at Weng Yuansheng, who was lying on the ground exhausted.
The panic in Weng Yuansheng's chest had already overcome the severe pain in his shoulders.
The unflappable Jin Yiwei in front of him seemed to have been attracted by Huang Zunsu. He was a civil and military man, and it was obvious that he wanted to protect the Dong Mansion.
Weng Yuansheng's mind was racing, and he thought to himself that the ones who set up a trap for the Dong family and instigated the villagers to smash, smash, and burn were the people from above, but this Jin Yiwei was also from the imperial court... Could it be that Dong Qichang had been prepared for it a long time ago?
, looking for reinforcements to support you?
No matter what happened, he couldn't throw away his armor so quickly in front of everyone. He had to hold on until someone came to the house.
Weng Yuansheng then covered his shoulders, stood up swaying, and reluctantly bowed to Ma Xianglin: "General Ma, I am a junior official, because I am also a scholar, and I sympathize with Fan Xiucai who exposed the Dong family's evil deeds. I can't bear to see him die in vain and his family members be humiliated.
Therefore, I brought the elders from Fanjiazhuang to Dongjia to ask for an explanation."
Dong Zuchang, who was behind him, grabbed him by the back collar and said angrily: "That scholar named Fan compiled a play script that falsely accused me of robbing a peasant girl, and gave it to the troupe to sing without paying him.
I reported it to the Yamen, and a few days later he happened to get sick and died. What does that have to do with me? You are jumping up and down like this. I guess these men in Fanjiazhuang were also lured here by you. Then let's make it clear from all sides. What do you think about Fan Xiucai?
My mother and daughter-in-law were insulted by my servants, please tell me which day it was?"
Weng Yuansheng stiffened his neck and shouted to the crowd: "Sister-in-law of the Fan family, sister-in-law... don't be afraid. Lord Jin Yiwei of the imperial court is here too. Come out and tell me, what day did the Dong family bully you?"
I saw two strong women pushing out a woman wearing a white flower on her head.
The woman had shaken herself into a sieve and stammered: "Yes, it was the Chinese Valentine's Day. This second master Dong had someone beat my mother-in-law and me, and even tore off our clothes."
When she said this, she burst into tears.
She was an honest country girl who only knew how to serve her mother-in-law and her husband. She didn't know why in just one month, her husband Fan Chang, who was studying well in Songjiang City Academy, suddenly died of illness. Then, the man in front of her who claimed to be her husband died of illness.
A good friend, Weng Yuansheng, brought her and her mother-in-law to the city to identify the body. On the condition of fifty taels of silver, she and her mother-in-law were allowed to cry and make a fuss at the gate of Dong's residence. After they returned to Fanjiazhuang, they also said that the second young master of the Dong family had insulted them.
Fifty taels of silver was enough for her and her mother-in-law to keep the two boys at home for several years. As a woman with a dead man, what other choice did she have?
Unexpectedly, money is not so easy to get, and I have to cry a lot today before giving it to me.
It was originally agreed that he was just dragged over for show, but when things happened, he had to repeat those embarrassing words in front of so many men.
Before Mrs. Fan had howled a few times, she heard a young woman's clear voice coming from behind: "You are really talking nonsense and framed. On the day of Chinese Valentine's Day, Mr. Dong was not in Songjiang at all."
It was Han Ximeng who stepped out to scold him.
…
A moment ago, Zheng Haizhu was surrounded by Ma Xianglin's hand. When he dismounted and landed, before he could stand still, he saw Ma Xianglin pick up the bow, quickly climb onto an earth wall, and then jump onto the camphor tree. Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and fired a shot.
arrow.
Zheng Haizhu was dumbfounded. These men who practiced martial arts in ancient times must have too hardcore kung fu.
Yan Siqi goes into the sea to beat up sharks, and Ma Xianglin climbs up a tree to shoot at an unruly official. It's like picking something out of a bag.
What's more, Ma Xianglin was still on the way to the rescue when he changed into what Zheng Haizhu looked like was very inconvenient. Zheng Haizhu traveled to the Ming Dynasty and saw the Feiyu suit for the first time. He thought the clothes were beautiful, but his lower body was
More cumbersome than a tutu.
Ma Xianglin told Zheng Haizhu and Huang Zunsu that this was a uniform given to him by the Holy Spirit. The flying fish uniform was not only given to Jin Yiwei, but this time he was ordered by the emperor to take over Qiu Wanliang's bandit den, and he had no real relationship with Angel Tiqi.
The difference is that he just put on the Feiyu suit to shock the officials and people of Songjiang.
Zheng Haizhu was originally standing behind the Sichuan soldiers, listening attentively. When he had just clarified the whole story of "civilian raids on Dong's house" based on the conversations between a few people and his limited historical knowledge, he suddenly saw Han Ximeng stealing from Dong's house.
Come out the door.
She was shocked when she heard Han Ximeng's words, "Second Master Dong is not in Songjiang at all."
Zheng Haizhu said "I want to go in" to the Sichuan soldiers beside her, and the Sichuan soldiers immediately opened a path for her through the crowd.
"Miss!"
"Azhu!"
"aunt!"
Han Ximeng couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw Zheng Haizhu appear alive and kicking. Behind her, Zheng Shoukuan, who accompanied her out today, also ran out and cheered for the reunion with her aunt.
However, Zheng Haizhu quickly approached Han Ximeng's ear and whispered, "Miss, can your trip to Suzhou be treated as a guide for outsiders?"
