Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh hot event
After the county magistrate gave an order, Zhang Gui shouted in the government office, and the Wanping County government office mobilized urgently. In an instant, more than a hundred government officials and servants of all kinds gathered in the open space between the lobby and the gate. Except for those working outside,
The police officers and prison guards are basically all here.
Fang Zhixian was very satisfied with this efficiency. Since he took office, he had deliberately established authority everywhere, and the effect was good. After a brief inspection, Fang Zhixian dismissed the old, weak, sick and disabled, leaving only sixty or seventy who looked healthy, and ordered
Said: "You guys take your belongings and set off with me!"
Zhang Gui, who considers himself a confidant, pretends to be a tiger and a tiger next to him, his eyes widened. Could it be that in order to vent his anger on his behalf, the county magistrate plans to personally lead the strong men and horses to find the Yongping Bofu?
Thinking of this, Zhang Bantou immediately burst into tears. He has been a government servant for 20 years and has never seen such a loyal county magistrate! In one word, benevolence and righteousness!
Zhang Bantou wiped away his tears and excitedly exited the county government gate with his team. Then when he saw the person clearing the way in front of him turning eastward, he couldn't help but trot to the county magistrate's sedan chair and reported in a low voice: "Master!
Wrong way, wrong way!"
The sedan curtain was opened from the inside, and Fang Zhixian asked hesitantly: "What's the wrong way?" Zhang Gui pointed to the west diligently and said: "Yongping Bo's Mansion is to the west of the county government office, you shouldn't go east!"
"Is there something wrong with you?" Magistrate Fang scolded, then put down the curtain and stopped talking to Team Leader Zhang.
However, it was said that the county government brigade headed east in mighty force. Not long after walking, they saw the Bell and Drum Tower from a distance, then turned north, crossed the river and entered a wide diagonal street.
This side street can directly lead to Deshengmen in the northwest, and the transportation is convenient. Therefore, there are many shops on the street and there are many pedestrians. Suddenly I saw dozens of government officials "fully armed" appearing on the street. Everyone couldn't help but look at them with suspicion.
Don't know what happened.
Zhang Bantou was also dizzy. He felt that he had failed so much as a confidant. He didn't even know what the county magistrate wanted to do. Several acquaintances asked him secretly just now, but he couldn't answer anything. It was really embarrassing!
Fang Yingwu got off the sedan chair and stood on the street with his hands behind his hands. Opposite him were two shops side by side. Both shops were large, with five bays. Moreover, the two shops used the same style of signboards, and the names of the shops on them were also the same.
They are very similar, except one is called Yongping Satin and the other is called Yongping Pawnshop.
Lou Tianhua pointed to the front and said: "Without a doubt, this is the store that Yong Ping Bo seized. In the front are the shops along the street, and in the back are the warehouse and the shopkeeper's residence."
Fang Yingwu waved his hand, called Zhang Gui, and ordered: "Send the order! Seize these two properties!" Zhang Gui muttered a few words in his heart, but he was not slow to speak and responded: "I have the order!"
Fang Yingwu said again: "As for the goods in the store, they should be regarded as stolen goods. You can take them back to the county office! I am responsible for this big thing!"
Originally, the government servants were all murmuring. None of these subordinates were fools. It was the earl's property. How could it be so easy to deal with?
But when they heard the last sentence, the crowd burst into small cheers, and then they swarmed forward. The county magistrate clearly gave them an opportunity to make a small fortune!
Silk and satin can be used directly as money! There must be a lot of valuable things in the pawn shop! This handful can be used to pay for ten or eight years of labor and food! The county magistrate also said that he is responsible for everything!
Caught off guard, before the shopkeepers of the two stores understood what was happening, they saw dozens of strong men rushing in like wolves and tigers. They smashed the counter without any explanation, broke into the store directly, and then robbed.
Those who were slow to catch up with the first wave of goods went directly to the warehouse at the back. If they weren't wearing public uniforms, I would have thought that these people were robbers! In other words, they were no different from robbers.
A few brave men tried to stop them, but they were pushed and kicked to the ground. Fortunately, the officials were in a hurry to seize the stolen goods and had no time to take action, so they managed to save their lives.
Lou Tianhua looked dumbfounded and had the same thought as Zhang Gui, the leader of Zhang Gui. His confidant was in vain! He couldn't help but ask: "Proprietor, this..."
Fang Yingwu didn't answer, he just stood on the side of the street expressionlessly, looking at the bustling scene in the shop opposite.
Amidst the commotion, the government officials who had gained a great harvest all came out after "finishing business". Some had bulging waists, some were wrapped in silk, and some were carrying a bunch of things... But the shop was indeed
It has been sealed and the "stolen items" have been seized.
Fang Zhixian smiled and said to everyone very considerately: "Have a rest for a while, and then set off back to the Yamen."
At this moment, in the eyes of all the government officials, Fang Zhixian is simply a parent officer who is closer than his parents. After being a government servant for so many years, he has never been as happy as today! I have never seen such a domineering parent officer!
After a while, a group of people suddenly appeared from far away on the street. Although they were messy, they could see from a close distance that there were about thirty or fifty people. There was a leader-looking leader leading the group, who looked quite angry.
Team leader Zhang Gui immediately complained to the county magistrate: "The one in front is the chief steward of Yongping Prefecture, and he is the one who slapped the minor and tore up the summons!"
Lou Tianhua frowned and said: "From my perspective, these people seem to be camp soldiers!"
The princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty are basically military officers. Most of them hold military positions in the capital camp and the twelve guards of the pro-army army, and Yongpingbo is no exception. It's just that the corrupted generation is not as good as the previous one. The later the period, the more decorations they have. Even the soldiers in the camp
It has almost become a decoration.
But it is said that the current Yongping Bo inherited the title when he was only in his twenties. It was a time when he was young and eager to enjoy himself. Although he took a post in the Beijing camp, he was too young and did not take up the actual position, but it did not affect his borrowing a few years.
A soldier came to do private work.
For example, today, the young Uncle Yongping is using dozens of sergeants to repair the garden at home - for military attaches, using sergeants as private servants is a very common benefit.
Suddenly, Uncle Yongping received a report that dozens of people had come to two newly opened shops to cause trouble. In a rage, Uncle Yongping asked his generals to take the sergeant who was repairing the garden to rescue the scene.
Let's not talk about it, but here on the street, everyone in the Wanping County Yamen looked towards the magistrate, waiting for the instructions of the magistrate.
Fang Yingwu glanced at the visitor coldly, waved forward, and ordered: "Whoever dares to interfere with official duties, fight! Don't let the stolen goods be taken back! All consequences will be borne by me!"
Thinking about the possibility of losing the rich "booty" they had obtained, the government officials suddenly developed a common hatred. Team leader Zhang Gui and Zhang finally caught up with the county magistrate's thinking, raised his head and raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers,
kill!"
Then Zhang Bantou took the lead and rushed to the middle of the street, as if he had transformed into a peerless military commander in storytelling. He was as majestic as a god descending to earth. Hengdao immediately shouted: "Wanping Zhanggui is here! Who dares to fight with me!"
"
Infected by Zhang Bantou's strong aura, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet. Everyone involuntarily stopped and countless pairs of eyes stared at Zhang Bantou.
Zhang Gui stood alone in the middle of the street. A few steps ahead were dozens of hostile battalion soldiers, almost fighting one against a hundred... A gust of cool wind blew, and he suddenly trembled, turned his head and shouted curses behind him.
Said: "You idiots, why don't you keep up?"
Under the example of Zhang Bantou, an advanced and typical example, dozens of government officials rushed towards the enemy, shouting wildly.
As the saying goes, when two armies meet, the brave will win. These ordinary soldiers from the Beijing camp had been out of battle formation for a long time, and they came in a hurry and didn't have all the weapons they had. As soon as they fought against the aggressive and well-armed government officials, they were at a disadvantage.
Besides, when it comes to daily life, ordinary sergeants are miserable. They are not as well-educated as the yamen servants, and they are not as strong physically as the yamen servants. What's more, these yamen servants are all "elite" selected by Fang Zhixian.
Therefore, after several rounds of fighting, the situation was simply one-sided. The soldiers sent to the rescue by the Yongping Prefecture were beaten to pieces in just a few moments, and were defeated. They were chased and chased all over the street in a state of panic.
After receiving the signal from the magistrate, Lou Tianhua shouted at the top of his lungs: "Stop it when you see it! Be gentle with your hands, don't kill anyone!" After shouting for a few times, his throat started to smoke, but he regretted that he didn't have a gong at hand, otherwise he would have died.
We can come to Mingjin to withdraw the troops.
At this time, there were many pedestrians and shops around, and they were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene in front of them. More than a hundred government officials and soldiers fought fiercely in the bustling street, and the ground was covered with feathers. This was definitely a big event, and the annual gossip level was very popular.
