In fact, this is not a surprise. Wang Xuan has been waiting for this day.
The day before, Capt.
Moreover, these merchants are not stupid. Everyone knows how much other places in the city charge. When you compare it with yourself, you will know that Xue Baantou is too dark.
If it's just like this, that's it. If it's a little higher, it won't be much different. There's no need to offend these rogues for this. You can make money by being friendly. You can't lose big for small things, but the problem is those small traders.
For these small traders, their income is already low. If they pay such a sum of money, it will be in vain!
Therefore, when the fees were charged the next day, these small vendors started to quarrel, "If you don't pay, other places in the city won't charge you. Why do you want money? I'll quit and sell it somewhere else!"
This kind of noise does not come from two places. People are not worried about scarcity but inequality. After all the vendors in the market started making noise, these scoundrels, who are not good cakes, pointed at the noisy crowd and shouted: "Who the hell said you want to do this?"
Moving people, come on, come on, stand up and see if I can beat you to death!"
Seeing a dozen strong men with bare chests and ferocious faces, the crowd suddenly became quiet. Everyone expected others to come forward and enjoy themselves, but when they were really asked to fight for their own interests, they all backed down.
A man in the group of vendors curled his lips and muttered something rubbish secretly. Then he pulled out a kitchen knife from his waist and suddenly threw it out with his arms, "Fuck you, I'll chop you to death!"
The kitchen knife quickly rotated in an arc and flew straight towards the gangsters. More than a dozen people were crowded together, and there was no way they could hide from the flying kitchen knife.
'puff!'
"Ah!~"
There was a shrill scream. Seeing that he couldn't escape, the scoundrel used his little arm to punch him. He happened to catch the kitchen knife blade pointing at him and cut nearly half of it in with a pop. Blood spurted out from the wound...
This bastard ripped off the kitchen knife from his arm, held his arms and screamed, his mouth twitching as he looked at the other rascals around him.
The leader turned his head and glanced at the miserable situation of the people behind him. When he turned around again, he found that the spirits of the vendors were different. They looked eager to try. He secretly screamed something bad in his heart and immediately yelled, "What the hell!"
If you want to die, beat them!"
As he spoke, he waved his arms and started running first. A group of scoundrels behind him rushed forward, shouting excitedly, and immediately dozens of vendors were beaten until they cried for their fathers and mothers.
The one who just threw the kitchen knife has now retired and his head is taken by you. If you can't beat even one of them, then you don't have to blame us.
Capt. Xue, who had been ambushing him early, was stunned. He had promised to only threaten him, but why did he resort to the knife? This was a mass incident...
Looking at the looks of the people around him, Xue Cap's head went numb. He rushed forward with his servants angrily, and even pulled and pulled them hard to separate the crowd. But this was not the end, it was so big.
It would be outrageous not to arrest some people and take them back.
Rogues cannot be captured. Xue Baotou glanced over. The leading rogue immediately understood and shouted at the top of his voice: "Run!"
In an instant, the scoundrels fled in all directions. Dai Baotou greeted the yamen servants and chased them for a few steps, then turned back.
The scoundrels can run away, but these vendors can't. The stalls are still here.
Then there was nothing to say. Dai Captou pointed at the seven or eight young and strong people who looked like the leaders among the vendors and shouted: "Arrest them all and fight in the street, how unbecoming it is!"
"They are beating people, why are they arresting us!"
"Is there any royal law? Why don't you arrest these people when they come to ask for money?"
"Is there any more justice left?"
There was a commotion in the crowd, and both the onlookers and the vendors involved in the incident understood clearly that this was a collusion between the arrester and the other party, and they were working together to bully ordinary people like them.
Seeing that several people were unwilling to be arrested honestly and were struggling endlessly, Capt. Xue yelled: "You still dare to resist arrest, beat me, beat me hard!"
Oh shit!
You bunch of leeks, you just have to pay the money honestly, and you still dare to resist. If you cause such a big thing today, it's okay if I don't punish you severely, so that you know, the government is the genius!
Let you know what it means to have a human heart like iron and an official law like a furnace!
No matter how much resentment and unwillingness were revealed in the eyes of the people around him, Xue Captou didn't care. He swept his eyes viciously over everyone's faces and shouted sternly: "What's going on, who wants to go in to accompany them? You stand up."
!!”
Everyone who was swept by his gaze averted their eyes. Everyone had the idea of sweeping the snow in front of their own house and not caring about the frost on other people's tiles. They were secretly glad that they were not the ones being arrested. As for the eight people who were arrested, they could only
I prayed secretly for them in my heart.
The eight people who were arrested did not dare to struggle after being beaten with a few sticks. Not long after Xue Captou led the people away, the gangsters turned back and began to collect money one by one with a step that they did not recognize their relatives, and cursed in their mouths.
Stop, "A bunch of unscrupulous guys, they ask you to just pay the damn money and then be obedient. They won't shed tears until you see the coffin. What a king. I'm a king here!"
The small traders can only be angry but dare not say anything and pay the money obediently. Even if they change their business location, it will only be next month. After paying the money, they have to complete this month's business no matter what!
Regarding the matter here, Wang Xuan received a detailed report when he turned around.
"I don't know how high the sky is, it's time for them to see it!"
Wang Xuan cursed, Zhu Jiayan lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He did not know who Wang Xuan was scolding...
"Zhu Jiayan went to find the families of these arrested guys and told them that it was okay. As long as they obeyed, they would be brought out. Then he went to find eight lawyers, one for each family, and eighty witnesses. The momentum was
Make a fuss with me!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let everyone know what the King's Law is!"
"People like them can understand the law..."
Wang Xuan explained a lot of things. It has been two months since he arrived in Ming Dynasty, and it is time to officially come to the public.
From the moment Zhu Jiayan stepped out of Wang Xuan's mansion, an undercurrent began to surge in Fuzhou City.
First, the eight families who cried for their fathers and mothers were visited one by one, and they were told that there was nothing to be afraid of, Mr. Wang would provide them with justice, and then the litigants came to them on their own initiative. The petitions had all been written out, and they only needed to take their fingerprints.
enough.
The yamen officer, Dai Captou, and the others were also informed that the execution could be carried out, but it had to be measured. It didn't matter if it looked miserable, but it didn't really hurt.
Someone in the prison also started to say hello, and a few people were watching alone to ensure that nothing happened.
Some of the vendors present were also found and asked to go to the government office to be witnesses. At first everyone refused, but... Facing an organized group of more than a dozen tough men and supporting lawyers, everyone suddenly became angry.
Came up.
Even the most stupid people will be told that there is a big boss behind them, so everyone can go ahead with peace of mind. This time the damn head catcher and those gangsters have offended people they shouldn't be offended, and they will die.
deal!
When everyone's spirits were high, they naturally screamed and expressed that they were not afraid of anything, and vowed to make a big fuss tomorrow!
On the other side, Tian Boguang led his people to directly find some rogues. Originally, such a thing would not require an expert like Tian Boguang. However, Wang Xuan still had too few people under his command. He could only deal with these little shrimps through hard work.
Wang Xuan can't take action himself!
A figure quickly passed through the air, leaving behind a series of afterimages in the eyes of ordinary people. Before those scoundrels had time to react, they were knocked down by Tian Boguang. Their stiff bodies fell to the ground with a thump, and they were followed by those who followed.
The men were loaded onto the carriage one by one and taken away. The whole process took less than five minutes, and the dozen or so people who made trouble at that time were all arrested!
On the other side, Capt. Xue took the people back, threatened and whipped them, and forced several people to admit that they were the ones causing the trouble. If anyone dared not agree, he would be locked up in jail and never let out!
A few ordinary people have never experienced this. They were beaten up and threatened. In a dark prison, in this atmosphere, they were not allowed to say anything, and it was no problem to pick up a confession and sign it.
Xue Captou glanced at the other eight captors with some complacency. In his mind, those unscrupulous people should be afraid after this time. After killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, collecting the protection fee will not be easy. When the time comes, there will be a lot of money.
Take a good look at these short-sighted people.
This is the gap between them and themselves!
The other seven detectives also looked at him with admiration on their faces. They must have dried up their brains. They are so crazy about money. If you dare to go against Mr. Wang, they have already set up a trap for you.
Sorry, you monkey is jumping up and down for no apparent reason. As colleagues, they looked at Capt. Xue with a bit of pity.
Xue Captou mistook the pitiful glances of other colleagues as surprise and admiration, and greeted everyone with a laugh, "I'm happy today. I'll treat you tonight. When the geese come back upstairs, you must appreciate it!"
"Xue Captou is still better than me. I will definitely go at night!"
"I must go, I must go!"
"Hahahaha, see you tonight, I have something to do, so I'll go ahead!" Xue Captou waved his hands to everyone and walked out in stride.
You only have a few days to live, so eat and drink well!
Everyone muttered something and dispersed. Dai Baotou, who stayed at the end, specially greeted the eight people, "It's okay. Don't worry. Your family will come to you quietly with the lawyer in a while, and the lawyer will tell you then."
What to say tomorrow?"
The eyes of the eight men, who were beaten and frightened and now mentally depressed, all widened when they heard this. What is going on?
Looking at the looks of these people, Dai Captou shook his head and smiled, "You guys, you have met a noble person. A big shot will take care of this matter for you. Okay, I can't say more. Someone will naturally come to see you tonight!"
After saying that, Capt. Dai also walked out of the prison. Before leaving, he threw ten taels of silver to the prison boss, "This is a reward from Mr. Wang."
"Thank you!" The prison boss looked at the back of Dai Captou and tipped the money in his hand, "What a generous gesture!"
In the evening, the eight people actually saw their families, carrying food boxes, chicken, duck, and fish in their hands, and wine and food. Eight lawyers served them one-on-one, blatantly telling them what to say and do tomorrow. This group of people did not regard this place as a prison at all.
mean.
The prison boss looked at him and shook his head. There was nothing he could do. Mr. Wang gave me enough money. Besides, most of the arrests in the yamen were his, so there was nothing wrong with treating this place as his home.
After going out and locking the prison door, the gang started chatting as loudly as if they were at home.
For a moment, all the unkempt prisoners in other prisons were dumbfounded. The plates of big fish and big meat, with spit like broken water pipes, were everywhere!!
I thought it was a group of bronzes, but I didn’t expect it was a group of kings!!
What’s the origin!!
…
Early the next morning, the drum of injustice was beaten.
As soon as the drum of grievances is sounded, the prefect must go to court to handle the case. However, the person who beats the drum will also be punished. This ensures that everyone who beats the drum to voice grievances will be grievances.
After a while, "Shengtang, Might~~Martial~~!"
A group of people in rags walked in. The man who played the drum first was pushed to the ground without explanation and hit with a wooden board ten times.
"Pa bang..."
"Ahh..."
The beating was loud and the screams were painful, but the people standing nearby could clearly see that there was no trace of bleeding at all...
After ten blows, the man lay on the ground 'dying to death' and handed over a stack of papers. The officer took it and frowned when he saw it. There were eight papers in the pile. After looking through it, he found that they were all complaints against the arrester.
Xue Xinghua's.
After looking at the eight people who complained, eight lawyers holding folding fans walked in outside the door again. The prosecutor Tang Minxue licked his lips and rubbed his mustache. This matter is interesting, but I don’t know who will do it again.
It was planned behind the scenes!
The official handed the paper to Magistrate Qi. The Magistrate had just flipped through two pages when he suddenly heard a burst of noise coming from outside. The voices converged into a wave and poured into the Magistrate's lobby.
Everyone looked outside with wide eyes and confusion, and the voices gradually became more uniform, "The prince breaks the law, and the common people are equally guilty!"
"When a prince breaks the law, the common people are equally guilty!"
The more uniform the sound, the louder the sound wave, the more powerful the momentum, the higher the sound, which only makes everyone's eardrums feel a little painful.
Even if everyone is sitting in the government office, they can still imagine the overwhelming crowds and excitement outside.
When a prince commits a crime, the common people are equally guilty. It comes from "Historical Records: Biography of Shang Jun". These officials who came from the imperial examination are very clear about this. Use this sentence to put pressure on them. If this case of Xue Captou cannot be handled impartially
The case, I'm afraid... this matter will be brought to the governor!
Magistrate Qi and the official looked at each other, their hearts sinking. Who is it? Who has so much energy and gathered so many people at once?
Magistrate Qi turned around and said something to the master next to him, who quickly ran out.
Dai Captou and others in the hall made eye contact. They all knew who was behind the plan. Except for Mr. Wang, no one in the city had such great mobilization ability, but the momentum was a bit too big...
Including some wealthy and powerful families, although they have great cards, when it comes to grassroots mobilization ability, Wang Xuan beats them by ten blocks!
If things continue like this, in less than three years, Wang Xuan will be able to mobilize 100,000 people to show everyone!!
By then, Fujian won’t necessarily listen to anyone!
The master walked to the gate of the government office, stretched his neck and looked outside. He was so frightened that he immediately shrank. Between the stretching and shrinking, he could see the essence of the bastard.
The main thing was that he was really shocked. Outside the government office, five large rows of people stood neatly. At a glance, thousands of people occupied the entire street!
What's even more frightening is that these people didn't scatter. They just waved their hands together and shouted slogans, "The prince breaks the law, and the common people are equally guilty!"
While shouting and stamping his feet, the master felt that the ground at the door was trembling. He hugged the doorpost and his heart was trembling. Thinking of Magistrate Qi's instructions, he stretched his head and took a look again. These people were not there.
Other actions, but this neat appearance was better than any Ming army he had ever seen...
This made the master afraid. If a swarm of swarms rushed in... I'm afraid they would be trampled to death!
In fact, he really felt it right. At this moment, Magistrate Qi was staring at the gavel on the table. Watching it trembling, Magistrate Qi's eyelids jumped up!
There are more than 4,000 people on this street, all of whom Wang Xuan mobilized within one day.
For the task assigned to Zhu Jiayan, each of his subordinates must find fifteen people, and they must take care of these fifteen people to make everyone obey. Each person's appearance fee is 20 cakes... no, 20 copper coins!
In addition, Wang Xuan mobilized thousands of people from Wangjiazhuang outside the city. Each of the fifty children he brought into the city last time led a small team. In this way, the team of nearly 5,000 people was shortened.
Time was mobilized by Wang Xuan's organization, and there was no chaos at all.
This is the same routine that was used to support the scene at Heri Island 510. Coupled with the well-trained manpower organization and leadership of Wang Xuan, this effect can be achieved.
In fact, it really didn’t cost much, less than 200 taels in total!
But the momentum is really terrifying. Even the largest wealthy family in Fuzhou Prefecture does not have so many well-trained manpower to organize such a large-scale movement!
The master ran back crawling on the ground and said something in the hall, but the noise outside was so loud that Magistrate Qi couldn't hear clearly. He waved to the master anxiously, and then the master realized what he said and ran to the magistrate's ear and said loudly
Got up.
Suddenly, Magistrate Qi suddenly raised his head, slapped down the Jingtangmu, and shouted sternly: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you catch the criminal Xue Xinghua!"
At this moment, Xue Xinghua and Xue Baotou were considered criminals in the mind of Qi Prefect. There was no reason to say that they should be arrested and brought to justice immediately!
Public opinion is fierce. As a local official, the purpose of sending you here is not only to collect taxes, but also to maintain public security in the area.
Since ancient times - stability is more important than anything else!
No matter how much you collect in taxes, if it arouses people's rebellion, you will deserve death!
There is also a governor above the prefect, and the meaning of the word "fu" in this official position is very clear.
All local officials pay great respect to those who have great power in the local area, in order to stabilize the place through them, or simply say that they need these people to help govern a place. As a prefect and county magistrate, they only need to work with these powerful people.
As long as people can communicate well.
By then, local stability and taxation will no longer be a problem!
Therefore, now that Xue Captou has offended someone he shouldn't have offended, then he is a criminal and there is no need to argue!
The heads of Dai and others looked at each other and hurried out. Magistrate Qi listened to the shouts and stamping of feet outside and looked at the table in silence. He really wanted to know who had such a big name in the city.
Energy, why didn’t you know it before?
It has been two years since he took office, and he has already visited those wealthy families!
During the process of arresting people, he felt that seconds were passing by like years. He had never felt that time was so difficult.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Magistrate Qi felt that his patience was about to run out, suddenly the shouting outside began to get smaller, and then stopped. He was shocked, and his organizational ability was evident!
When he looked up again, he saw that Capt. Dai and others were shackling an official wearing a soap robe and walking in. It was Capt. Dai or someone else.
