The policemen from Jingzhao Prefecture rushed into Dongshi City like wolves and tigers. They caught and beat everyone they saw. If they encountered anyone who resisted, they would hit the head with a scabbard and an iron ruler and slap them hard.
Arresting people, while still accusing them of "crimes"!
What made Hu Chong's eyes split the most was that the entire East Market was in chaos. Many torches were extinguished, the light was dim and his vision was unclear, and the shops with closed doors and windows were smashed and damaged one by one, and some of them were even damaged.
A fire broke out.
The entire East Market is booming again!
Hu Chong saw the entire Dongshi falling into complete chaos and was completely stunned!
He still doesn't know whether the people who smashed the shops and set fires were the police officers of Jingzhao Prefecture or the merchants and hawkers from his own side...
He clearly remembered that because of this matter, the head of the family summoned him into the mansion, met him in person, and carefully gave him the most important things to pay attention to - that is, the matter must be controlled within the scope of mass demonstrations!
Shops must not be smashed, shops must not be stolen, lives must not be lost, and the entire East Market must not fall into uncontrollable chaos!
Before the bustling of the city, Hu Chong had reached an agreement with several well-known businessmen. Once the Jingzhao Prefecture started arresting people, they would wait to be arrested. Anyway, it was just a crime of "gathering a crowd to make trouble", could it be possible?
Can he still chop off his head? There are nearly a thousand people here, so Jingzhao Mansion doesn’t dare to go too far! What’s more, there will naturally be family members who will step up to finish the job afterwards, so nothing goes wrong.
However, looking at the merchants and vendors who were being chased by the police officers and running around in all directions, crying and howling, they seemed to have forgotten their previous instructions to "wait to be caught".
Because everyone is scared...
Malicious arson! Taking the opportunity to plunder! Disturbing the stability of Gyeonggi! Intent to subvert the empire!
What kind of crime is this?
If you add one casually, it is no longer a question of whether to kill or not, but to annihilate the three tribes!
Mother!
Didn't we agree in advance that it was just a "crowd making trouble"?
Now they will all be regarded as rebel traitors!
They are all ordinary people. Who has ever seen this? As soon as I heard these charges, I was so scared that I peed a lot. I just thought that I couldn’t just sit back and wait for death, so I had to jump out in the dark. If I was caught,
It doesn’t matter if I die, my family and relatives will have to suffer...
Those who catch people, those who run away, those who beat them up, those who set fires, those who cry, those who yell and curse...
The entire Dong City is in complete chaos!
Li Junxian was stunned. He looked at the blazing flames and the roaring noise in Dongshi. He swallowed his saliva, looked at Fang Jun and asked: "Erlang... this... is a little bit loud, right?"
?”
Fang Jun pushed 256: "What did General Li say? Is it possible that I still have to watch this group of unscrupulous people gather in the capital, confuse the public with their evil words, and regard the laws of the Tang Dynasty as nothing?"
Seeing Fang Jun's official tone, Li Junxian had no choice but to say: "The person must be arrested, but these patrolmen under your command smashed shops and set fires everywhere. Isn't it a bit too much?"
Fang Jun glared and acted like a scoundrel: "General Li, you didn't even take a step towards the gate of Dongshi. With your eyes, you saw the patrolman under my command smashing and setting fire to it? You're familiar with it, be careful of me suing you for slander!"
Li Junxian was speechless.
Damn it, you don’t let me in even one step, what the hell am I going to see?
But even if you can't see it, a fool still knows that it was your men who smashed and set fire to it!
Eh?
Looking at Fang Jun's pretentious face, Li Junxian suddenly became excited and seemed to understand something...
Who said it was Fang Jun's people who smashed, smashed and set fire? They would definitely not admit it.
Arrested and tortured for interrogation?
This is not impossible, and Li Junxian believes that as long as he catches a few people and interrogates them, they will definitely confess.
However, the problem is...it's okay to torture Fang Jun, but can these troublemakers torture him?
If Fang Jun's men couldn't hold on and would definitely confess Fang Jun, how could those who made trouble hold up and not reveal the master behind them?
There is no need to doubt, as long as people from both sides are arrested and interrogated by the "Hundred Cavalry Division", the truth will be revealed immediately.
But how could things be so simple?
If those troublemakers are revealed to be behind the scenes and are instigated by members of aristocratic families, how will Your Majesty deal with it?
Instigating the servants to gather and cause trouble, maliciously slandering important ministers, and intending to intimidate the emperor... This is simply a capital crime!
But is it possible for His Majesty to arrest and behead all the involved family members because of this?
Of course it cannot.
Even if you are the supreme being in the world, you cannot do whatever you want and do whatever you want.
Therefore, the aristocratic families were challenging the emperor's bottom line. They were sure that His Majesty would make concessions because of this, and it was impossible for the conflict to break out.
His Majesty could only hold his nose and remain silent. This was an ugly tacit understanding.
But what Fang Jun did... was to pinch the family's powerful family.
The family members wanted to control things within a range that the emperor could tolerate, and finally had to treat Fang Jun as a victim to calm the situation. But Fang Jun did the opposite. You want to control it within a certain range? I don't!
I want to make things bigger, the bigger the better, so that you can’t control it even if you want to!
I just broke things, I just set fires, I just want to make things bigger, what can you do? If you dare to say that I smashed things and set fires, I will dare to pick out all the things behind you! I will be charged with doing arson.
No, you can't get rid of the crime of instigating servants to get together to cause trouble, maliciously slandering important ministers, and intending to intimidate the emperor!
Li Junxian thought of this, and his admiration for Fang Jun in his heart was like the water of the Yangtze River flowing endlessly...
If you don't let me get better, I won't let you live a happy life either!
Who is afraid of whom?
*****
Fang Xuanling was sitting in the study, wearing a green shirt and her gray hair neatly combed.
Holding the tea in his hand, he took a sip from time to time, savoring the sweetness on the back of his tongue and the smoothness of his throat, but his eyes were fixed on the few banana trees in the flower pots in front of the verandah outside the open window. This
It was moved from the greenhouse in Lishan Mountain. It originally belonged to overseas and has never been seen in Guanzhong. But now it is spreading green leaves under the rain, and it is as green as dripping.
Fang Xuanling's mood was not very good.
The roar of merchants gathering in the East Market spread throughout the capital at the fastest speed in just an instant, shaking the entire city!
The target of this incident was Fang Jun. How could Fang Xuanling not be worried?
In fact, he doesn't care too much about whether Fang Jun can finally become the prime minister and rule the world. Under one person and above ten thousand people, he seems to have a prestigious position, but in fact he has to withstand too much criticism and pressure. He relies on his
He ascended to this position by following His Majesty Li Er all the way to assisting him. In other words, regardless of his ability, he is worthy of being outstanding among the ministers of the dynasty. Who dares to be dissatisfied with his qualifications?
However, it would be even more difficult for others, especially juniors like Fang Jun, to surpass a group of big shots in the court and ascend to that position. This requires not only extraordinary abilities, but also super luck.
The pinnacle of official career can never be smooth sailing. Even if Jane is in the emperor's heart and has the emperor's holy family, she will still have to go through hardships and twists and turns...
A particularly important point is that even with Fang Jun's current unstoppable promotion rate, he would have to wait at least twenty years to become prime minister.
But twenty years later...
I am afraid that the new emperor has ascended the throne and the power has changed.
This is what Fang Xuanling is most worried about. He does not want Fang Jun to get involved in the struggle for the reserve position, or even the struggle for imperial power. Everyone knows that the skill of following the dragon is unparalleled in the world and can extend the prosperity of a wealthy family for generations to come, but again
Does anyone really understand the danger of the steel knife hanging from the ceiling?
The bloody battle in the ninth year of Takeru established the great cause of His Majesty. However, Fang Xuanling, who has experienced this battle, is still frightened when he thinks about it. It was a battle with almost no chance of winning, and he could only win in despair if he failed in a last-ditch battle!
Although he won, it was extremely dangerous!
Nowadays, the Fang family no longer needs to risk their lives to gain a living space...
The old servant walked into the study room briskly, stood in front of the desk, and in a low voice told the situation in Dongshi in detail. Even the smallest details were not omitted.
When she heard that Fang Jun was vandalizing and setting fire to Dongshi, Fang Xuanling raised her eyebrows...
Have courage!
Not only is he courageous, but his style of cutting through the mess quickly is also just right.
Fang Xuanling closed her eyes and meditated quietly.
After a long time, he finally said: "Go and inform Erlang immediately. After arresting the person over there, don't rush to deal with him. Just lock him up first. Tell Erlang that after the situation is stable, let him come back. I have something to tell him."
."
"Here."
The old servant responded, but felt a little strange in his heart.
In the past, no matter how much trouble Luan Erlang caused outside, the head of the family would always sit calmly on the Diaoyutai. Except for the time when he was besieged by the mob in Niuzhuji, Jiangnan, he almost didn't care, just like that
The son is not biological...
But this time he was so considerate, could it be that the consequences would be bad if he took it seriously?
