Chapter 607
In a dark alley.

Wang Ling looked at the battle in front of the Zhen Mansion, with a smug sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"This Zhen Yan is a little quick-witted, knowing that he has dispatched some soldiers in advance to protect himself, otherwise he would have been decapitated by now."

Sima Lang who was beside him frowned slightly, and said, "Brother Yanyun, let the scholars threaten Mrs. Zhen and force him to hand over the right to make new paper. Why take his life? After all, he is Lin Zichu's concubine." Brother, I'm new here and my foundation is not stable right now, if I offend Lin Zichu, I'm afraid it won't end well..."

"He Lin Zichu is not a scourge, why is brother Boda as timid as a woman!"

"It's not that someone is timid, it's really that Lin Zichu has always acted in ways, and his methods are unpredictable, and he is not a good friend."

"That's because he hasn't met someone before!"

Wang Ling said with disdain on his face: "Everyone says that Lin Zichu has unpredictable abilities, but what he has seen and heard since he entered Xuzhou is not worthy of the name, which shows how many people with false names in the world. Besides, he The Xilin family was unknown before, but Lin Zichu only followed Liu Xuande earlier and was lucky enough to steal a high position, he has no good plans, he can be called a mediocre villain."

Seeing Wang Ling's arrogance, Sima Lang shook his head and sighed, "Brother Yanyun, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. Lin Zichu has been famous for a long time, so how can he have some means?"

"Hmph, just use whatever means you can!" Wang Ling sneered, "This time, this time not only wants to intimidate Mrs. Zhen, but also wants to kill Zhen Yan in the street. Let's cut off Lin Zichu's arm first, and see if he can do me any favors." He. If you have the ability, kill all these scholars, and wait to cut yourself off in front of the scholars of the world."

These words were so convincing and resounding that even Sima Lang was shocked.

What shocked him was how could Wang Ling have the courage to be so arrogant.

If this person doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he may end up in disaster.

Sima Lang sighed in his heart, but he didn't say another word.

Political appeals have always been to achieve the goal, but Wang Ling's mouth is full of hatred for Lin Chao.Being so sentimental, Sima Lang naturally looked down on him.

But at the moment in front of the Zhen Mansion, the verbal conflict finally reached its peak.

Zhen Yan argued hoarsely, but it was still impossible to persuade a group of people who came to find fault, so she stopped talking and only ordered three hundred soldiers to surround herself to prevent these people from violently rushing towards her.

But the goal of these scholars is Zhen Yan himself, so how can they give up just because they are protected by three hundred soldiers.

Once the seeds of self-confidence are planted in the heart, it is easy for people to be unscrupulous.

Just like now, someone in the crowd yelled loudly, and a group of scholars really dared to charge up with sharp knives, and wanted to kill Zhen Yan in the street.

As for the three hundred soldiers around Zhen Yan, they didn't pay attention to them at all, and they didn't think that these big soldiers dared to hurt themselves.

It's just a bunch of common people, do you still dare to do something to yourself and others?

It's a pity that their wishful thinking didn't work out after all.

As soon as Lin Chao's transfer order came out, the guards arranged by the Military Plane Mansion for Zhen Yan were all real military elites.

The order they received was to protect Zhen Yan, and the scholars in front of them who rushed forward to kill Zhen Yan were their enemies.

For the enemies who have already shot, their coping strategy is only one word.

kill!

The sharp knife was unsheathed, and the head fell to the ground!
Before the few scholars who rushed forward had time to react, they were already decapitated.

The human head rolled down the steps, and the blood instantly soaked the ground under his feet.

Seeing that the soldiers really dared to draw their swords to kill, these scholars were both frightened and angry.

At this time, several voices rang out from the crowd.

"Fight with them, kill them!"

Immediately, the anger overwhelmed the fear, and a group of scholars rushed up with sharp knives.

But these [-] soldiers were all battle-tested, so they would not be afraid, instead of retreating, they immediately fought against the scholars.

A bloody conflict ensues.

It took less than a quarter of an hour for the two sides to fight, and the group of scholars were killed and retreated steadily, with their heads rolling on the ground. Just when they were about to lose their hold, there was a loud shout from behind.

"Stop it, stop it all!"

At the critical moment, Xun Yu finally arrived with his army.

But at this moment, the two sides are already jealous, and no one will listen to him.

"Stop, if you don't stop, you will be killed immediately!"

Zhao Yun drew his sword in his hand, and shouted loudly at the same time, the voice was several times louder than Xun Yu's previous shout, and it was clearly heard by everyone present.

Only then did the fighting parties come to their senses, and turned their heads to look at the thousands of soldiers and horses led by Zhao Yun behind Xun Yu, and silently put down the weapons in their hands.

But at this time, there were no less than one hundred corpses on the ground, and blood flowed down the street until it reached Xun Yu's feet.

Seeing this scene, even with Xun Yu's self-cultivation, his face was livid with anger, his whole body trembled, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

This is Tan County, the political center of Xuzhou, but hundreds of people are fighting in the street today, and so many people have died...

Thinking of this, Xun Yu couldn't stop the anger in his heart.

Those aristocratic families really deserve to die!
Xun Yu pointed to the two sides fighting in front of him, and said coldly: "General Zilong, take all these people down and leave them for the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate one by one!"

"As ordered!"

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and ordered his soldiers to capture them all.

This time neither side resisted anymore, but obediently were bound and taken away by Zhao Yun's soldiers.

As for Zhen Yan, although he is the one who suffers, he has to follow him to be imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment.It's just that the pain of bondage was spared, and his brother-in-law Zhao Yun took him away in person, enjoying a VIP treatment.

Although the troublemakers were caught, the troubles had just begun.

Xun Yu looked at the blood that was still flowing under his feet, and his brows were already frowning.

"Brother, how should these corpses be disposed of?"

Xun Chen asked.

"Tell people to put it together, don't bury it first, and wait until the matter is settled." Xun Yu took a deep breath, "Go back to the inner palace first, and you go to call the ministers to discuss how to deal with this matter."

"only!"

Xun Chen first agreed, and then said, "Brother, do you want to report this to Zichu?"

"No, no need. If Zichu wants to intervene, he will come. If he doesn't want to intervene, it's useless for us to tell him."

After Xun Yu finished speaking, he turned and left.

In a dark alley.

Seeing that a dispute was quelled by Xun Yu, Wang Ling shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity I couldn't kill that Zhen Yan."

"But the goal has been achieved." Sima Lang said, "Such a major event has happened, Xun Wenruo must call a group of ministers to discuss this matter. Brother Yan Yun, let's hurry back to the Government Affairs Hall."

Wang Ling sneered and said, "There's no need to worry. Brother Boda thinks that if Xun Wen doesn't know who we are doing this matter? Since we both know each other well, what difference does it make if we walk fast and slow?"

……

In the government affairs hall.

After Xun Yu called everyone together, he didn't go around the bush, and directly told what happened today, and made the number of casualties public, and finally asked everyone for their opinions on how to deal with this matter.

"There were more than 50 casualties among the soldiers, and nearly a hundred among the scholars?"

After hearing this, Ju Shou, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, immediately stood up and said in shock.

"That's right." Xun Yu nodded and said, "If someone hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the number of casualties would continue to increase. But right now is not the time to discuss casualties, and we should come up with a way to calm the matter as soon as possible."

Tian Feng got up, first glanced at Wang Yun with a sneer, and then said: "What's there to calm down, these scholars gathered to besiege the palace of the imperial court and order officials, but they dared to hurt people with weapons and openly confronted the army. Putting the state capital in your eyes is simply lawless.

According to the law, all beheads should be beheaded, as an example to others! "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent.

Tian Yuanhao, how dare you say that!
If you really want to execute hundreds of scholars at once, what do you want scholars all over the world to think?
Although the law does not expressly say it, this era has its own unspoken rules.The group of scholars is basically regarded as an official reserve and always has some privileges.

These scholars have studied hard for more than ten years in order to get this privilege.

Now that they are all beheaded and put to justice, it is true that rewards and punishments are clearly defined, but since then Liu Bei has lost the hearts of scholars all over the world.

Moreover, since the founding of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, there has never been a precedent for beheading hundreds of scholars in one fell swoop, no matter how serious the crime is, it has never been done like this.

In this era, a scholar is not only the hope of the family, but more likely the hope of the entire clan. It is the only possibility for them to honor their families and seal their wives and children.

Even the imperial court treats scholars as treasures.Because the emperor always relies on these scholars to govern the country and manage the people.

Such an important person, if you imagine beheading hundreds of people like a leek, it will inevitably cause turmoil.

And the price of this turmoil is something no one is willing to bear.

So for Tian Feng's proposal, everyone shook their heads and sighed, and remained silent.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xun Yu continued to speak: "You are all well-educated scholars. Now hundreds of scholars are still in prison. I hope you can think of a good way to solve this matter safely."

Everyone was still silent, but they all began to frown and began to think hard.

After a while, Ju Shou, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, said: "After all, hundreds of scholars are involved. I think this matter should not be publicized, let alone dealt with with great fanfare. For the current plan, I can only try my best to appease those scholars in order to calm down the matter. "

To be honest, in this fight in front of the Zhen Mansion, the total number of casualties on both sides was less than 200.

If it is placed in a war period, this number is so small that it can be ignored, and even half of the waves cannot be stirred up.

But here is Tan County after all, and hundreds of scholars are involved, so it becomes tricky.

It's not that Jushou didn't dare to kill these scholars, nor that he wanted to make peace with them, but he knew in his heart that behind this incident, the aristocratic family headed by Wang Yun was actually behind it.

Judging from Lin Chao's previous attitude towards these aristocratic families, it is clear that he wants to appease and raise traitors, and let him settle down for a while, so Ju Shou proposed this plan.

Rather than saying that Xun Yu convened everyone to discuss countermeasures, it was better to say that he was bargaining with Wang Yun, Sima Fang and others.

"It's okay to appease, but how to appease?"

Xun Yu seemed to be asking Jushou, but his eyes were on Wang Yun from the beginning to the end.

Jushou thought for a moment, and then said again: "Neither side will be punished, and they will go home. As for the people who were killed in the conflict...the state government will also pay for it and take care of the funeral."

After listening, Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The matter was provoked by the scholars, and the state government is already magnanimous if it is not punished now, and they should be able to accept this result.

But who would have thought that at this moment, Wang Yun, who had been silent all this time, let out a long sigh.

"The old man said before that this kind of new paper that carries the way of sages and sages cannot be controlled by merchants. It should be brought back to the official camp, otherwise there will be chaos. Now it seems that the old man expected it. The current disaster It has been caused, even if there is no punishment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm down."

Hearing this, both Tian Feng and Xun Chen's faces twitched, and the anger in their chests went straight to the sky.

This old man is really more shameless than Lin Zichu!
It is obvious that he provoked the matter, but now he pretends to be concerned about the country and the people, it is really shameless!
Xun Yu was also almost laughed angrily, looking at Wang Yun not only with disdain, but also with contempt.

To use other people's lives to fulfill one's own intentions is really not a son of man.

"Then how should we deal with it between princes and princes?"

Since Wang Yun put on such a big battle, he must have his own plan.Getting angry can't solve any problems, so Xun Yu still asked patiently, hoping that Wang Yun could offer his own price.

Wang Yun ignored everyone's gazes, and said slowly: "Everyone, these scholars are the pillars of the country after all, and the future hope of our great man has lost as many as a hundred people. If we don't give them an explanation, how can we appease the public anger?
What's more, this time it was because of the unfairness of Zhen Fucheng's sale of new paper that caused such disasters.So the old man thought that the new paper should be returned to the official camp, and the scholars should be properly replenished, so that the matter could be settled. "

Old man, after going around for a long time, you still have the idea of ​​making new paper!

Tian Feng sneered in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Dare to ask Wang Shangshu, which yamen will be in charge of the new paper collection?"

Wang Yun smiled and said: "Such things that carry the way of sages should naturally be in charge of the Ministry of Rites."

It wasn't until this moment that Wang Yun finally revealed his true purpose!
Let the new paper continue to be sold, and sooner or later it will spread all over the world.

Once it becomes easy to transcribe, the family education that the family is proud of, as well as the annotations of the sages and sages by the ancestors of the family, the capital they have to settle down in this world will be exhausted in a few decades at most, and one or two generations will be exhausted.

This is the result that the family headed by Wang Yun absolutely cannot accept.

All this time, even spending hundreds of scholars, is precisely for this new paper.

Once the right to manufacture new paper belongs to the Ministry of Rites, it means it is in the hands of Wang Yun.At that time, he can find another name so that the new paper cannot be circulated, just like the Caihou paper back then.

In this way, the status of the aristocratic family can be preserved, their power can continue, and their status is still high!
His mouth is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, the way of sages and sages, but his heart is full of selfishness and selfishness.

Such a hypocritical face caused a burst of discussion in the inner mansion just after Wang Yun's words fell.
