Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 631

"Qianhu, give your order! I will take people to seal the gates of the city, and search every house, and I must call this thief out and smash his body into pieces!"

"Qianhu, do you want to call all the brothers from the following states and counties to Suzhou City? We only have three hundred households in the city, and our manpower is a bit thin!"

"Qianhu, this person surnamed Ren just said this, but he didn't bring the post. Tell me, could it be that the magistrate's yamen is afraid that the situation will get out of control, and wants to use our knife to intimidate others to turn the situation over?" hold on?"

After Ren Yuanshan left, there was no violent scene of throwing stools and tables in the second hall. Xu Youcheng sat on the chair with a sullen face and did not make a sound for a long time.

Although Wu Qian and the others were burning with anger, they all stayed where they were.

Shangguan did not lose his composure, if he rashly picked up the tea bowl and threw it on the ground, what would Shangguan think?
Who are you attacking?

After a while, Xu Youcheng raised his right hand and rubbed one side of his temple up and down, and his face became more relaxed. Wu Qian couldn't help but cupped his fists first to make a suggestion, and the other two hundred households also expressed their opinions one after another.

"The matter of exposing the post is certain, if Fang Wen doesn't destroy the post, will he still submit it to the Holy Lord?
Unless he's out of his mind!

The current situation has not seen signs of getting out of control, and the government will not beg us unless it is a last resort!
This land in the south of the Yangtze River has been peaceful for a long time, and some people have been used to their faults by the court, and they dare to pour dirty water on the Tian family.

A certain just thought about it, if this matter is to be done, it should be done in a big way. It is better to get involved too much than to indulge one person in vain!
If one person is found, they will be dragged everywhere!

These grandchildren don't cry when they see the coffin, so we must give them a longer memory this time!
Wu Qian, go to the magistrate's yamen to find out where this post was torn off, and find out where the post is mainly distributed in the city!go! "

Wu Qian received the order, clasped his fists and saluted, and left in a hurry.

"Zhao Feng, after the four gates are closed at night, you lead your men to take over all the city gates, but anyone who is suspicious will be taken down!"

After receiving the order, Zhao Feng from a hundred households came out with salutes.

"Sun Decai, after Wu Qian finds out the news and returns, the two of you will bring all the people together, go to ambush everywhere after dark, capture all the people who posted up, and bring back those who slander the Tianjia for interrogation, and send people after finding out the address Surveillance, house raids will start after dawn! Anyone who resists will be killed! The rest will be taken back to the guard house for custody!"

After half an hour, the sky will begin to darken. Wu Qian hurried back to the Qianhu Office, and then reported the details to Xu Youcheng. Xu Youcheng immediately ordered him to start eating. Before it was dark, the government schools went separately The respective positions are waiting.

The season has come to Xiaohan, and it is the time when the days are short and the nights are long. Just after the Shen time, the night has opened, and the black curtain has enveloped the earth in an instant.

All households in the city had already used their dinner while the sky was still bright, so as to save money on lamps and candles. After the sky completely darkened, except for a few big houses in Suzhou City, the lights were still on. , Most of the entire Suzhou City has been plunged into the boundless night.

At this time, more than three hundred Jinyiwei officials had arrived at the designated places and hid. The blue armor blended into the night. If there was no candlelight, ordinary people would not notice it even if they walked a few steps away from them.

In the distance came the sound of night watchmen beating clappers, followed by lifeless shouts that gradually faded away.

"The sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful with the candles!"

"Close the door to prevent theft!"

In Jiangnan, which has been in peace for 200 years, the errands of officials who patrol the night are no longer taken seriously by the yamen. Except for the watchman, there are few pedestrians on the road.

At about the end of You hour, little lights began to appear on the streets and alleys, and figures were looming as the lights swayed, and there were faint laughter from time to time, showing the relaxed mood of these people.

Obviously, this group of people walking together is the one who has been posting and exposing posts for several days.

No wonder they were so relaxed.

Since the Japanese plague was completely eliminated a hundred years ago, people in the government and local gentry have gradually merged into one, and the privileges of scholars have been guaranteed to the greatest extent.

It's just a post at night, which still saves some face for the government and annoys this group of scholars, who will openly gather crowds to besiege officials.

For this kind of disgusting court affairs, this group of people is keen to practice. They feel that they are practicing the sage's idea of ​​unity of knowledge and action, which is of great benefit to self-cultivation.

Daming has always had freedom of speech. I am a scholar, so I can scold whoever I want. How do you treat it?

My elders belong to a certain department or a certain house, if you dare to touch me, the elders in the family will embarrass you later.

However, what these people with upturned nostrils did not expect was that this time they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended, and even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu couldn't save them.

"Stop and don't move! Anyone who moves will be killed without mercy!"

A loud shout suddenly came out from the darkness.

Three or five scholars, laughing and whispering, had just arrived at the entrance of the alley where the poster was posted last night with lanterns. Under the reflection of the bright and dark torches, several sharp steel knives shone with dazzling light, and a dozen figures had already surrounded them.

"Ah! What are you waiting for?"

"Don't come near! We are all students!"

"My uncle is an official of the household department of the Shenzong Dynasty! There are many old students! Don't be rude!"

"Who are you under? There are also old friends of my family in the governor's yamen of Jiangsu, you better weigh it! Ouch!"

The few scholars were startled by the scene in front of them at first, and then shouted loudly one by one, and reported their identities they relied on in a mess.

During the quarrel, seven or eight captains swarmed up, punched and kicked several scholars to the ground, and then took out ropes to tie them tightly.

These official schools waited for more than an hour in the cold wind. As the body heat gradually disappeared, the anger in their hearts became stronger and stronger. They finally waited for the right master, and they were no longer polite when they struck. This one-sided attack is over.

"Search for the items and see what is said in the posted post! Those who are not involved will be escorted back to the office!"

At night Xushi, Wu Qian, Zhao Feng, and Sun Decai rushed back to the guard one after another, and each reported to Xu Youcheng the results of the night's battle.

"The underlings captured a total of 43 posters, including [-] students, and the rest were servants of various families! Among the exposed posts, only those who insulted the Tian family!"

"Report to Qianhu, the humble servants have captured two burglars!"

"Report to Qianhu, the subordinates have captured a total of 59 people who posted, including 32 students, and the rest are servants of various families. They found two posts that insulted the Tian family!"
