However, a person like Hu Ding would naturally not show his emotions. Instead, he said with a sad look on his face: "If Mr. Feng knew what he was doing and had such a good friend as Mr. Feng, I would be smiling!"
Mr. Zheng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at Hu Ding with a solemn expression: "Master Feng is an upright official, but today he was killed by an eunuch. When the news spreads in Nanjing tomorrow, the public will definitely be in a rage. When the people are angry, maybe they will
There is an attack on the Dongchang stronghold!"
As he spoke, Mr. Zheng said with a bit of solemnity in his eyes: "I wonder what the Hu family leader thinks?"
Hu Ding nodded and said: "What you said is true. The eyes of the people are sharp. Just like the Songjiang tax inspector who forcibly confiscated silk and silk, he was beaten to death by the people!"
Mr. Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "The people of Songjiang dare to fight against those eunuchs, and the people of Nanjing are not short of bloody people."
The moment Chu Yi walked into the secret cell, he looked back slightly and glanced around. A carriage came out of the corner in the distance and passed by slowly. Chu Yi paused slightly.
Cao Shaoqin, who was following Chu Yi, couldn't help but said: "Supervisor, what's wrong?"
Chu Yi rubbed the jade ring in his hand and said to Cao Shaoqin: "Cao Shaoqin, go follow the carriage just now and find out for me who is on the carriage?"
Cao Shaoqin said: "I will go right now."
Seeing Cao Shaoqin turning around to leave, Chu Yi said: "Remember not to scare the grass and scare the snake."
In the secret cell, Chu Fang followed Chu Yi closely, and soon saw Qi Hu coming up to him and saluting Chu Yi: "I've met the Governor!"
Chu Yi waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, call our people over. I have something to say."
Soon, several fans who had accompanied Chu Yi from Dongchang rushed over and stood aside with great respect.
Chu Yi glanced at him and said: "I and the governor went down from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River and arrived at Nanjing City. However, this city of Nanjing is not a good place. There is a group of people who want to kill this governor. If this is the case, then
Don’t blame me for going on a killing spree!”
When the fans heard this, they did not show any fear at all. Instead, they all showed excitement.
Chu Yi nodded towards Chu Fang, and Chu Fang immediately understood and said to the few followers: "I'll give you one night to concoct a batch of confessions. The governor said that the rebel Feng Ji's party members were wrongly killed.
Never let go."
Several names on a piece of paper related to several big families entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River. They were obviously selected by Chu Yi as victims to fight back against certain people.
It was obvious that many people were going to have insomnia this night.
In the palace of the Duke of Wei, Xu Yan leaned on the chair of the Grand Master and said to Xu Pengju who was standing aside for a long time: "Pengju, what did those people do?"
Xu Pengju looked serious and said: "Grandpa, according to the information we got, those people are planning to imitate the people of Songjiang Prefecture who attacked and killed the tax supervisor and took the opportunity to get rid of Chu Yi."
Hearing this, Xu Er narrowed his eyes and sneered: "It's simply ridiculous. These people are so unscrupulous. I'm afraid they will have to pay the price for this this time!"
Glancing at Xu Pengju, Xu Yan couldn't help but said: "Pengju, do you have any different opinions?"
Apparently Xu Yan saw Xu Pengju's disapproving look and smiled slightly.
Xu Pengjun took a deep breath and said: "Grandpa, you think too highly of Chu Yi. Yes, he is indeed favored by the emperor, but no matter what, how can he fight against these forces that are rooted in Jiangnan? You know
Even our noble group may not be able to suppress those people!"
Xu Ru said with a solemn look on his face: "It's just that they went too far. Let's see. I'm afraid that after tomorrow, Jiangnan will be shaken by it!"
A wisp of morning glow appeared on the horizon, the sun slowly rose, and the bright sunshine fell on the earth, and the city of Nanjing once again fell into prosperity.
On the long street, dozens or hundreds of local gangsters were shouting and shouting among the crowd.
Feng Ji died, but he was used to incite people's support. Hundreds of tenants of the Hu family took the money, and each of them armed with sticks and shouted slogans of killing the eunuchs went straight to the Dongchang stronghold.
go.
The stronghold of the East Factory is a large courtyard. A grandmaster's chair is placed in the middle, facing the open door, and Chu Yi is sitting on the grandmaster's chair looking leisurely.
Cao Shaoqin and Qi Hu stood next to Chu Yi. At this moment, Chu Fang appeared next to Chu Yi mysteriously and whispered: "Supervisor, everything is arranged."
Chu Yi nodded slightly, glanced at the door with a little expectancy and said: "The stage has been set up, and we are just waiting for the protagonist to appear. I hope these people will not disappoint me!"
While he was talking, a fan rushed over, knelt down in front of Chu Yi and said respectfully: "Report to the governor, there is a mob, about hundreds of people, coming in a menacing manner."
Chu Yi paused slightly as he tapped his fingers on the coffee table, and said with a smile on his lips: "The show has finally begun!"
There was already a faint noise coming.
"Kill the eunuchs and reduce taxes!"
People who didn't know the truth and liked to join in the fun joined them. When they arrived outside the Dongchang stronghold, there were only a few hundred people, but now the number more than doubled.
The area outside the gate was filled with darkness. First of all, there was a group of gangsters with savage faces, each holding a stick and other weapons in their hands. It was really scary to see so many people cheating.
A man with a scar on his face held a butcher's knife in his hand. He climbed up high and yelled: "Fathers and fellow villagers, have you seen it? It's these eunuchs who have deceived the emperor to impose taxes on me in the south of the Yangtze River. Feng Ji
Your Excellency firmly opposed it but was killed by this eunuch. Everyone said what should we do!"
"Kill the eunuchs, kill the eunuchs!"
The cry of killing resounded through the sky, which was so shocking that even Chu Fang, Cao Shaoqin and others could not help but feel horrified in their hearts.
Chu Yi stood up slowly and strode forward, but he was not afraid of these mobs. He seemed not to have thought that Chu Yi would be so bold. Instead of running away, he walked towards them. In an instant, everyone became quiet.
Everyone stared at Chu Yi.
Glancing around, Chu Yi couldn't help but sneer when he saw some thin-skinned literati mixed in the crowd. As he expected, these people had no other tricks at all.
With the example of Songjiang's tax resistance in the past, Chu Yi believed that some people would definitely resort to such a move again, but it was a pity that some things could never be done again.
On the high pavilion in the distance, some people who had arrived early were watching from a distance.
Hundreds of tenants who had been bribed and instigated surrounded the entire stronghold. It can be said that Chu Yi was unable to fly this time. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public. Songjiang resisted the tax and the tax supervisor was beaten to death. In the end, one or two ordinary people were not randomly selected to take over.
Will the sinful lamb be left alone?
It's the same this time. Even if the emperor continues to favor and trust Chu Yi, as long as Chu Yi is beaten to death, is it possible that the emperor will go on a killing spree for the sake of a dead Chu Yi? At worst, a few more people will be introduced as scapegoats.
Give the emperor a step down.
Chu Yi said calmly: "You are armed with murderous weapons and gathering a crowd to besiege the court officials. You can see that this is the death penalty for killing officials and rebelling!"
The crowd was slightly in an uproar. As soon as the official-killing rebellion came out, many common people who had mixed in before felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on their heads. Looking at Chu Yi's calm appearance, he thought that Chu Yi dared to kill even scholars.
Suddenly he broke out in cold sweat and withdrew from the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, the original team of several hundred people once again returned to the previous one or two hundred people.
The scarred man waved the butcher knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Don't listen to this eunuch's threats. We kill the eunuchs to do justice for heaven. As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone, how can the emperor kill all of us?"
Is it done?"
Chu Yi sighed slightly as he looked at these tenants with fierce expressions on their faces. These people were obsessed with money. Judging from how ferocious these people were, I was afraid that this was not the first time that a crowd had gathered to commit murder.
"That's all, as the saying goes, medicine can't cure diseases, and Buddha can help those who are destined to meet you. You don't have to worry about being lonely on the road to hell!"
While speaking, Chu Yi raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "The mob has gathered to rebel, and they must be killed according to the law. General Shi, please take action!"
