Dong Mansion.

Man Gui also let his 1,500 border infantry soldiers surrounded the Dong Mansion's mansion.

Then, Man Gui also ordered his officers and soldiers to break open the gate of Dong's mansion.

Dong Zuhe, who was drinking and having fun with a group of concubines in the mansion, was not afraid after learning from his doorman that a large number of officers and soldiers had come in, and asked first: "What! Who is the officer and soldier who is so bold to break into my Dong's mansion!"

"Uncle, I am the tax supervisor of the West Factory, saying that he is here to urge the tax to pay!"

The concierge started talking.

After hearing this, Dong Zuhe stumbled back a few steps, then pushed the concubine away, walked to the front hall, grinning and said, "Bastard! I actually collected taxes and came to my house. What a shitty West Factory, I asked the servants in the house to beat these bastards out!"

"uncle!"

The concierge shouted in surprise. He didn't expect that Dong Zuhe would ask the people from the mansion to fight the people from the West Factory.

"Go! Didn't you hear it?"

Dong Zuhe kicked the doorman and shouted loudly.

The ward had to convey Dong Zuhe's orders.

So, about 300 people from the Dong Mansion rushed towards the outer hall with a stick of half a foot long.

Seeing this, a team of border soldiers guarding the Yuedong Gate connecting the outer hall and the inner courtyard immediately rushed towards these slaves with spears and swords and shields.

Only about twenty infantrymen used the cooperation of spears and swords and shields to stab or kill these Dongfu slaves to death or cut them to the ground like cutting melons and vegetables.

These gentry and slaves were no match for the regular border troops of the Ming Dynasty, and the remaining slaves fled directly.

But what Dong Zuhe didn't know was that when he asked Haonu to fight like this, his nature changed.

...

"Please come out by the head of the Dong family!"

Man Gui and his officers and soldiers were shouting like this, and an infantry general ran to Man Gui: "Master! The people from the Dong family have rebelled. The people they are attacking us have been repelled by us!"

"Resistance against the order?!"

After hearing this, Man Gui stood up immediately and shouted: "The all tax monitoring order of the West Factory, the Dong family resists tax rebellion, and all the people in the Dong family will be killed without any regard for killing!"

It is obvious that these border military officers who formed the Western Factory were eager to force the gentry of Jiangnan, so that they could stay in Jiangnan, start killing and make money by the way.

After all, if we could stay in Jiangnan to suppress the thieves and eat imperial food, who would be willing to go to the northern border to blow the cold wind?

"yes!"

So, the elite boys under Man Gui's command immediately began to rush into the inner courtyard, and those who advanced in a row would chop and stab the people from the Dong family when they saw them.

For a time, countless casualties and injuries were found in the Dong family.

Dong Zuhe saw a large number of soldiers rushing out of the Yuedong Gate ahead, and was killing the slaves who were rushing towards him in rhythm and order. He was a little awake for a moment, shook his head quickly, and then panickedly ran to the villa where his father Dong Qichang lived: "Master! Master!"

Dong Qichang has already learned the news from his other son Dong Zuchang.

"What did you say? Suddenly a large number of people from the West Factory rushed into the mansion and said that our Dong family was rebelling?"

Dong Qichang has resigned from his post as the Imperial College Priest, and has been living a leisurely and luxurious life in the mansion. He does not manage housework very much, and only allows his three sons to take care of housework.

But Dong Qichang didn't expect that one day, a large number of people from the West Factory rushed into his home and said that his family was rebelling.

"Yes, lord, the people from the West Factory want to kill us. Do you think of a solution?"

Dong Zuchang started talking in tears.

Dong Qichang immediately sat on the chair, dumbfounded for a while, murmured: "How could our Dong family rebel? Why is the Western Factory sent by His Majesty so unreasonable!"

After Dong Qichang said this, he immediately stood up and said, "Hurry, hurry, kneel outside the door, kneel honestly! Now kneel down and beg for mercy to let the court know that we have not rebelled!"

As he said that, Dong Qichang was the first to run out agilely, then knelt on the floor tiles next to the lotus pond, took off the square flat towel, and lowered his head.

Dong Zuchang and others in Dong's mansion also knelt over, took off the net scarf or hairpin ring and knelt under the eaves of the corridor.

"master!"

Because the southern gentry liked to build Su-style gardens that changed scenery, they liked to spend a lot of money to merge land to form vast gardens and build mountains and stones in the park, so the internal layout of the Dong Mansion was not so regular, which naturally caused certain difficulties to the Western Factory Tax Supervisors such as Mangui. Dong Zuhe and many Dong Mansion slaves were able to continue to flee in the park, and were not quickly killed by the people from the Western Factory.

At this time, Dong Zuhe came to Dong Qichang with a large group of escaped slaves and called him.

When Dong Qichang saw his eldest son coming, he cursed first: "Rebellious son! How did you lead the family? Why did my Dong family commit a crime of treason? Why don't you come over and kneel down quickly!"

Dong Zuhe was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Yes!" and then knelt over honestly.

Not long after, Mangui had already brought the West Factory Tax Supervisor to kill him.

But when Man Gui saw that the remaining nearly a thousand people in the Dong Mansion were kneeling on the opposite side of the lotus pond in front of him, he couldn't help but wave his hand.

The tax supervisors of the Xichang were all composed of regular border troops and were particularly obeying military orders. After Man Gui waved his hand, they stopped neatly and automatically formed a defensive and attacking formation at any time.

Those who don’t know thought they were going to launch a final general attack on the current Dong family.

"The criminal Dong Qichang asked the officials of the West Factory to be the ones who were not strict in the stewards of the family, so he angered the officials. The criminals were not forgiven! However, even if the criminals had the courage to rebel, he would not dare to rebel! What's more, the criminals had received the kindness of the three generations of emperors, and their desire to repay the country has not yet been paid, so why dare to rebel! Please give me a clarification!"

Dong Qichang shouted tremblingly, acting humbly.

Dong Zuhe and others no longer dared to be as arrogant as usual, and they lowered their heads and kept trembling all over.

Man Guize laughed: "So you are Dong Hanlin. Since your Dong family has not rebelled, why did you instigate Haonu to beat me up on the Western Factory Tax Supervisor?!"

Dong Qichang glanced at his unscrupulous son Dong Zuhe, and then said, "This is all a rebellious son who has no laws and regulations, and he does not know that the tax supervisor is coming, so he instigated the rich slaves to offend the tax supervisor and asked the tax supervisor to forgive him!"

"There is the master!"

At this time, a shout came from outside.

Not long after, Wang Yingjiao rushed over and looked at Man Gui with sweat on his head: "What's going on?"

Man Gui hurriedly bowed and replied: "The slaves of the Dong Mansion suddenly attacked our Xichang Tax Supervisor. They have rebelled and will kill them according to the order. Therefore, the last general ordered the cleaning of the Dong Mansion."

When Dong Qichang saw the civil servant Wang Yingjiao coming, he hurriedly looked up and bowed, "The ministers are so proud! How dare the criminals rebel? They are all caused by the child Dong Zuhe who is unaware of the matter and accidentally attacked the tax prison. Please ask the ministers to clearly understand!"

Wang Yingjiao glanced at Man Gui. Although he and Man Gui are now from the West Factory and are all here to recover the tuition for the emperor, he was a civil servant and a gentry.

Therefore, although Wang Yingjiao was politically appointing the taxes owed by the gentry, he was still sympathetic to the gentry Dong Qichang and others.

Moreover, Wang Yingjiao also knew that these border military officers were eager for all the gentry in Jiangnan to rebel, so they were lucky that Jiangnan had been making money. After all, these arrogant soldiers and generals from border towns were never afraid of others' rebellion but were afraid that others would not rebel, because in fact, the troubles of the Eastern Captains also came like this.

Therefore, Wang Yingjiao was worried that these border military officers would directly say that when collecting taxes, the gentry in Jiangnan would rebel, and then forced a campaign to pursue the tax to become a counter-trial operation, which made the generals become more arrogant and even above civil officials.

For this reason, Wang Yingjiao rushed to Huating himself. After confirming that the Xu family did not give Zhao Rujiao a chance to rebel because of sufficient cooperation, he hurried to the Dong family.

But Wang Yingjiao did not expect that the Dong family really attacked the Western Factory Tax Supervisor and gave a statement to the military officers such as Man Gui.

Wang Yingjiao couldn't help but feel a headache and glared at Dong Zuhe fiercely.

He and Dong Qichang had been officials in the same dynasty, so he also had contacts, so he knew Dong Shuhe.

But Wang Yingjiao didn't expect that he would come to the Dong family to urge taxes one day.

Then, Wang Yingjiao said, "Whether you rebel, you have to ask the emperor to decide. Our Western Factory is responsible for recovering the tuition. Dong Gong, the tuition of the government is more than 97,800 stones, more than 3,000 stones of white grain, and more than 20,000 taels of gold, flowers and silver. When do you plan to pay it? In addition, your government has not paid it within the deadline. According to the order, it should be punished ten times. If you refuse, you will force it to recover it. If you disobey the order, you will kill it without any consideration!"

After Wang Yingjiao said this, he pointed at Dong Zuhe and shouted loudly: "Tele Dong Zuhe, who is resistant to taxes, come here!"

When Man Gui thought that Wang Yingjiao was his current boss, he naturally obeyed his fate and immediately waved his hand.

A servant under Man Gui brought it over to Dong Zuhe and then pulled out the knife directly.

"Master! I don't want to die!"

Dong Zuhe shouted.

Click!

Dong Zuhe was beheaded on the spot.

Wang Yingjiao asked Dong Qichang, who was shocked: "Dong Gong, when will you pay the tax you owed?"

Dong Qichang shivered for a moment, then replied in a trembling voice: "I'll pay it, I'll pay it."

As he said that, Dong Qichang shouted loudly: "Take the tax supervisors to the warehouse!"

...

"The officials have met the ministry!"

At this time, a person's voice came.

Everyone couldn't help but look back.

Dong Qichang also looked at the visitor as if he was amnesty, secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he could escape the disaster.
