Chapter 408 A river of blood(1/2)
Chen Daowen went in a hurry.
Zhang Anshi summoned Chen Li and others again and ordered: "The Jinyi Guards should not act rashly, but they must be on guard against those who take the opportunity to rob the people. The East Palace and the Forbidden City are also under my watch, and nothing can go wrong."
Chen Li hesitated for a moment and asked: "Your Highness, you are talking about robbing the people...which people are these people?"
Zhang Anshi glared at him, his eyes clearly scolding him for being stupid, and gritted his teeth and said: "Of course they are real people."
"Oh, oh, I understand." Chen Li responded with a hurried salute.
Zhang Anshi then ordered: "Besides... I have kept a close eye on all city gates and ferries, and some places must be searched intensively."
Saying that, Zhang Anshi glanced at Chen Li meaningfully.
Chen Li said solemnly: "I understand."
"Okay." Zhang Anshi became calm and relaxed again, and said: "Prepare carriages and horses for me later, and send more guards. I'm watching... It's already getting late, and I should go to the palace for an audience.
"
Chen Li did not forget to express concern: "Your Highness... you must be careful."
"Don't worry." Zhang Anshi smiled, then straightened his face and sighed: "It's time to settle the score."
After saying that, he waved his hand, Chen Li understood, and left.
…………
At this time, in the capital city, the doors of mansions everywhere were closed.
Guards in Jinyi began to appear one by one, and then, a captain in Jinyi with a sword appeared in front of Liu Zhan's mansion.
As soon as the Jin Yiwei appeared, he knocked on the door.
"Open the door, open the door."
The concierge quietly opened the door to a crack, and saw a guy wearing a fish suit outside. He said tremblingly: "What...what's the matter..."
The school captain said: "I was ordered to protect Xueshi Liu's family. Is there anything wrong inside? Did anyone rush in? Was anyone injured?"
The porter shook his head and said: "No...no. But there are rioters outside. Madam and young masters are very worried...they...they..."
The captain immediately said: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wuhu County has specifically stated that although there is some chaos in the city, Academician Zhou is the pillar of the court and must be protected no matter what. I will protect him outside."
Come on, don't panic."
The porter nodded, closed the door, and hurried into the inner house to report.
Liu Zhan's eldest son, Liu Xin, felt relieved when he heard that the Jin Yiwei had arrived, but he also cursed: "These damn rebels are so bold, how dare they cause chaos..."
After scolding angrily, he ordered: "Tell them, there is no need to move the gold and silver in the warehouse. It is safer at home now. There are Jinyi guards outside to protect them, so it shouldn't be a problem. These Jinyiwei's bastards,
I still have this ability."
Then he asked the concierge: "How many troops have come from Jin Yiwei..."
The concierge said: "It seems to be one."
"One... one..." Liu Xin frowned and muttered.
He stood there, stunned.
At this moment, there was already a crowd heading towards the house.
In the crowd, everyone was angry. When they arrived in front of Liu's house, they saw a notice posted in front of the door. Above it was a stern warning from Jin Yiwei not to enter by mistake.
Everyone was furious, and someone shouted: "This is the mansion of Liu Zhan, and he didn't give me a way to survive."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded instantly and swarmed to the door.
The captain in Jinyi who was standing in front of the door quickly ran dozens of feet along the wall and disappeared at the corner of the street in a short time.
Dong dong dong...
The door was knocked loudly.
No one opened the door.
Those with nimble hands and feet can climb over the wall and enter.
More people broke the door open.
Then, countless people poured in.
In the overwhelming anger, everything the Liu Mansion had done was destroyed.
When the servants in the mansion saw him, they were frightened and ran away with their heads in their hands.
Liu Xin, on the other hand, was bold. He rushed forward with his two brothers and several loyal servants, and shouted viciously: "This is the residence of the Hanlin scholar, you unscrupulous people, you are so brave, you are not afraid of death."
?"
It's okay if he doesn't say this, he just opens his mouth to say it.
Among the crowd, someone swung the pickaxe directly. When the pickaxe came down, Liu Xin let out an ugh and fell into a pool of blood.
Liu Xin howled like a killing pig.
The remaining loyal servants immediately dispersed.
His two brothers also wanted to leave, but were stopped in time.
Among the crowd, the leader shouted: "Everyone on the left and right is dead. You surnamed Liu want us to die. If we kill one of you, it will be enough. If we kill two of you, we will not lose."
Liu Xin's thigh was directly driven into by the pickaxe, and she was bleeding profusely. She wailed: "My dad...my dad...wait for my dad to come..."
But before he could finish his words, a group of angry people rushed in, and the three brothers continued to scream in agony.
After a while, someone knelt down. He looked at the three brothers of the Liu family lying on the ground in the distance, motionless, and their faces were as pale as pig liver with fear.
This man kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Spare your life, spare your life, heroes, spare your life... The younger one is just a steward of the Liu family, just a steward... If the heroes want to plunder money, the Liu family... has money, and some money...
They are all in the treasury, so go ahead and take them, heroes, please spare your lives!"
Although there are many people here, it is obviously very organized. This is also the difference between farmers and craftsmen.
Most of the farmers are just self-sufficient and living their own lives. However, craftsmen and laborers need to participate in production collectively and need to carry out effective division of labor. Although they are angry and rebellious, they are clearly organized and someone is responsible for maintaining the craftsmen and laborers.
They maintain order and ensure that no innocents are harmed. Some people are responsible for guiding and clarifying goals. Some are responsible for setting the atmosphere, and some are responsible for opening the way.
At this time, many people subconsciously looked at one person.
This man obviously worked as a bookkeeper in the workshop. Although he was among the crowd excitedly, he always watched with a cold eye. Among the craftsmen and laborers, he had considerable authority.
At that moment, he said: "Ask a few people to open the warehouse and tell everyone not to loot. Li San, Wang Ke and you two will take a few brothers to guard this place. Wu Xiucai and I will go and make an inventory.
When everyone heard this, they immediately said yes.
They are people with families and businesses, not the kind of homeless people who have nothing.
Not long ago, they had a good salary, a house with shelter from the wind and rain, married a wife, and their children were studying in school.
What's more, before coming here, people had already been taught in various pamphlets what to do and what not to do, and there were people who were specifically responsible for maintaining order. Of course, they also knew that making trouble is making trouble, and looting is looting.
So at that moment, everyone dispersed in a hurry, and another group of people rushed to the treasury.
The accountant and another person named Wu Xiucai began to enter the warehouse and began to count.
Just stepping in, I was shocked.
Soon, they searched for the account book. When they lowered their heads to look at the account book, the accountant glanced at it with a trace of sarcasm on his lips and said: "Interesting... really interesting..."
Wu Xiucai on the side couldn't help but came up curiously: "How..."
"Look at these accounts."
Wu Xiucai was also an expert. He glanced at it and suddenly knew the details.
Immediately, his face tightened, and he said: "I will be responsible for writing a copy and send it to Jin Yiwei. You can continue to count it here."
"Okay." The accountant agreed, but then he remembered something and said hurriedly: "By the way, just throw the book in front of the nearest Jinyiwei Qianhu Office and leave."
Wu Xiucai said: "Of course I understand."
These two people were also scholars, but they came from poor backgrounds, and the imperial examinations were too difficult. Although they had achieved fame, it was difficult to make a living. At first, they had no choice but to find a job in Qixia.
Although Taiping Mansion is criticized by scholars as a place with corrupt morals, in fact, knowledge is highly valued here.
The main reason is that there are too many workshops and merchants, and they need a large number of people who can write, do calculations, and are good at management. As soon as these two poor scholars arrived in Taiping Mansion, they immediately found a job and soon became the leaders in the workshop.
Important people receive higher salaries, have a relatively leisurely day at work, and are respected by everyone.
At this time, it is absolutely impossible to teach them to be unemployed. Although their salaries are high, they have already bought property in Qixia, their children are also studying, and their daily expenses are not small. These things all mean
With them.
Therefore, when their boss worked with them, they were the most active people. They were making plans privately, arranging manpower, organizing secretly, inciting craftsmen and laborers, and their presence was indispensable in all of this.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, what is breaking out today is a conflict between scholars, gentry and merchants, and craftsmen. Rather, it is a showdown between scholars and scholars.
The latter scholars, because they did not wear the traditional Confucian robes, and their speech was no longer literate. After all, under the influence of merchants and workshops, they no longer only dealt with scholars as before, so their spoken language and
There have been many changes in behavior and behavior.
But in fact, they have read a lot of books, and they may not be without fame.
