Daxianguan

Chapter 474 The government order is here (three more)
It was because Chu Xian considered the consequences of this incident that he made a temporary decision.

First, set the fire in Wacheng. The bigger the fire, the better, and the hotter the fire, the better. We must let all the cities and counties in Liangzhou know about it, and then deter them.

At that time, I will go to various places to inspect and see if they will make changes. If they still insist on going their own way, then I am sorry, the opportunity has been given once, and if you don’t restrain yourself, then Chu Xian can only meet one, deal with one, and will not tolerate it. .

Thinking of this, Chu Xian took a deep breath.

He is still too soft-hearted. In the past, he would definitely investigate all the states and places, deal with all problem officials, and all businessmen who violated the law. Those who should be killed and those who should be punished will be punished. The state has been cleaned up.

"It's still too kind." Chu Xian muttered to himself.

At this time, the outside is already in chaos.

Zhan Wende, the chief shopkeeper of De Ruixiang in Wacheng, was hijacked by thieves. As soon as the news came out, it caused a shock. Some businessmen in Wacheng had different thoughts when they heard the news. Some people thought, who ate the bear? The heart leopard is so courageous that he dares to break ground on the head of the De Ruixiang Chamber of Commerce. This is courting death.

There were also people who secretly thought that they deserved it, it would be better for this meat-eating guy like Zhan Wende to die. Of course, no matter who it was, they didn't think that the thief who hijacked Zhan Wende would end well.

In Wacheng, in the past few years, it is not that no one has acted against the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce, but no matter who makes trouble, the result is the same.

Either be killed directly, or go to prison, and then die quietly.

In recent years, De Ruixiang's reputation in Wacheng has been too strong.

In fact, in Liangzhou, there are a total of six major chambers of commerce, and Deruixiang can only be ranked in the middle.

Naturally, the six major chambers of commerce have made a lot of money in the past few decades. This is well known to passers-by, but no one dares to object.

All fools know that if the six major chambers of commerce can run rampant in Liangzhou, there is definitely a backer, and the backing is not small. It is not that no one wanted to touch the six major chambers of commerce in the past, but these six major chambers of commerce have internal covenants. Anyone who wants to move one of the chambers of commerce will be jointly attacked by the other five chambers of commerce.

Therefore, no matter whether they are merchants or officials, they can do nothing to these six major chambers of commerce.

The six major chambers of commerce divided more than a dozen cities in Liangzhou, and the interests of Wacheng belonged to De Ruixiang.

It is conceivable how powerful Deruixiang is in Wacheng, so much so that some people say that the government order of Wacheng on the surface is the official's local lord, but the "fuling" of Wacheng on the dark side is It's De Ruixiang's big shopkeeper in Wacheng, Zhan Wende.

Now that Zhan Wende is being held hostage, do you think it's a big deal?

At this moment, in a water shop on the street of Wacheng, several people are chatting about this matter, and what they said just now is what they said.

A businessman from other places was stupefied by the atmosphere of Wacheng at the moment, with his chest exposed, even so, he was sweating profusely, and at this moment he drank a large bowl of water with some kind of grass stems in it.

Because Wacheng is too hot, it has the title of the melting city of earth and fire, so there are such water shops everywhere. A bowl of water with grass leaves and roots is only a few pennies, but it can neutralize the heat and make people feel refreshed. Also replenishes moisture.

After the merchant had finished drinking, he asked, "Is it because De Ruixiang controlled all the big business in Wacheng, so people hated him, and someone went to hold their big shopkeeper hostage?"

The owner of the water shop shook his head: "Who doesn't bear grudges? De Ruixiang is half of the government in Wacheng, and many officials dare not provoke them. In the past, there were officials transferred from outside. They were upright and wanted to investigate De Ruixiang's tax evasion. , Guess what happened? The official committed an accident in just two days, was investigated by the dismissed official, and did not end well. Hey, if the official is like this, how can ordinary businessmen and ordinary people fight against them? , Don’t ask about this kind of thing, and don’t talk too much, lest the walls have ears, and Deruixiang’s people will listen to it, and you will inevitably get into trouble.”

The foreign businessman nodded repeatedly and didn't ask any more questions. According to the owner of the water shop, no matter who targeted De Ruixiang, the result would be the same.

Deruixiang is still Deruixiang, and no one can do anything about his business.

There is a saying in Wacheng, which is called the government order of flowing water, and the iron-clad De Ruixiang. If the government order is changed, De Ruixiang will not fail.

At this moment, a large number of soldiers came over there. Judging by the number, there were three to four hundred soldiers. With so many soldiers passing by on the street, the momentum was not small, and many people who didn't know it were alarmed.

As a result, when they asked each other, they all knew what was going on.

"Look, something happened to De Ruixiang, and the official Fu sent troops immediately. What does this mean? It means that they are a family. Since ancient times, if the government and merchants were one family, there would be no way for ordinary people to survive." The owner of the water shop sighed.

He has worked so hard all day fetching and boiling water and selling water, and he can't earn as much as De Ruixiang's guy. It's impossible not to be jealous.

But ordinary people are afraid of trouble, let alone cause trouble, so they can only be jealous.

More than 300 Red Gold Army surrounded De Ruixiang's house at this moment, and drove away the surrounding people, but the Red Gold Army did not attack immediately.

Later, several officials came.

The owner of the water shop looked at it in the distance, and said in a low voice: "Did you see that, the magistrates of our city of Wacheng are here, next to him is the master secretary, and over there is the supervisor of the mutual market, especially the supervisor of the mutual market. It looks like it’s just a grade [-], but its power is quite large, after all, it’s fat and oily to be in charge of a city’s trade.”

As soon as I said this, some soldiers came forward to chase people away. Although the water shop was far away, they didn't dare to stay when they let them go, so the guests here scattered like birds and beasts, and the owner of the water shop was the fastest to go. Li is also cursing.

Over there, Tu Zhe, the magistrate of Wacheng Mansion, was listening to an official surnamed Zhang who was thrown out while telling the story, with a dignified expression, without saying a word, but Xie Sanhe, the secretary of Wacheng Mansion next to him, couldn't bear it.

"My lord, there is no reason to hesitate. Someone came to make trouble, and even kidnapped the treasurer Zhan. This is a big deal. I think I will send troops in directly to force the thieves inside to release them. Once they are released, they will do it directly. If you resist, you will be killed on the spot."

Chief scribe Xie Sanhe had a murderous expression on his face.

He has been in Wacheng for ten years, and it can be said that he has already been attracted by the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce, and then everything is considered by the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce.

The reason is very simple. The benefit he gets from De Ruixiang every year is 10 taels of silver, which is much higher than his official salary. Even if he has been working for 50 years without eating or drinking, he will not be able to earn so much.

So of course he cares.

Jiang Yan, the supervisor of the mutual market over there, also chimed in: "That's right, magistrate, De Ruixiang is the pillar of our city of Wa, so there must be no mistakes. Besides, shopkeeper Zhan is also an acquaintance of ours, so we have to save him."

As the government order, Tu Zhe naturally thought more about it. At this moment, he shook his head and said: "I'm afraid the matter is not that simple. The other party dares to make trouble here, and even kidnaps shopkeeper Zhan. At least it shows that the other party is not good at coming, and there are experts here." Otherwise, Deruixiang's Pyrotechnic master is not a decoration, he is a genuine martial arts master. The people who entered just now saw with their own eyes that Pyrotechnic master was locked up with a copper coat by the thieves inside, and he is already immobilized Let’s go in rashly, if we can’t stop the thieves and let them escape in the chaos, what should we do?”

Xie Sanhe and Jiang Yan next to him also nodded when they heard it, secretly thinking that it made sense.

"But it's not a solution to wait all this time. We can only mobilize more than 300 soldiers right now. Could it be that so many people can't take down two bandits?" Xie Sanhe asked with a look of disbelief.

"It's better to be on the safe side. Stabilize the situation first, and then mobilize troops. At least two hundred red gold troops will be mobilized. In this way, with 500 people, no matter how powerful the opponent is, they are not opponents. Remember, no matter what you do, you must You have to be fully sure, if something goes wrong and causes a catastrophe, then we can't afford to walk around." Tu Zhe said meaningfully.

Both Xie Sanhe and Jiang Yan nodded.

After waiting for a while, more than 200 red gold soldiers came from outside the city, along with several military captains who were innate peak realms, and many art practitioners accompanied them.

In this way, even if the opponent has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to defeat him.

"Go, go in and have a look."

Tu Zhe took the lead, followed by Xie Sanhe and Jiang Yan, and at the same time there were many guards from the Red Gold Army, and entered the house together.

After entering, Tu Zhe frowned.

There are quite a few people lying on the ground, they are the thugs of the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce. Besides, the master of pyrotechnics is indeed sealed in a copper coat, with half of his face under it, only his nose is exposed to breathe, and he seems to be moving no.

In addition, there were thirty red gold soldiers standing there, not daring to move.

Seeing their own large army coming, they gathered in a hurry, but all of them were pale, obviously frightened.

At this time, Tu Zhe saw the situation in the room. A young man was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and a tall and tall man stood behind him, with an extraordinary aura.

As for Zhan Wende, he didn't see it.

It's not that Tu Zhe didn't see it, but that he saw it and didn't recognize it.Zhan Wende's teeth fell out due to Chu San's two slaps, his cheeks were swollen, his clothes were messed up, and his appearance was extremely miserable. Not to mention Tu Zhe, even Zhan Wende's wife might not be able to recognize him at a glance.

Tu Zhe and the others didn't recognize Zhan Wende, but Zhan Wende, who was pretending to be dizzy, recognized the three of them. At this moment, Zhan Wende felt that the magistrates were here, and the culprits must be punished, so he hurriedly got up and cried: "Master Tu, help!" ah."

Tu Zhe, Xie Sanhe and the others were taken aback. It took a long time to recognize the man with bloody face like a pig's head. This was actually the shopkeeper Zhan.

"Shopkeeper Zhan? You, how did you get beaten up like this?" Tu Zhe was dumbfounded, and at the same time felt a chill in his heart, secretly thinking that this matter would be very difficult.
