I have a cornucopia

Chapter 30 Beating an official is a crime

At this time, outside the official office, Yan Shenggong was surrounded.

"Mr. Yansheng, please speak clearly.

What happened inside? How on earth did you frame Fengsheng? Although we are just students, we are not allowed to be played by you. My father is supervising the censor, and the worst we can do is break up.

You know what you have done. We don’t want to bring shame to the Mausoleum of Saint Confucius, and don’t think that we don’t dare to reveal everything. "

Su Dunsheng grabbed Kong Yinzhi's clothes and spat angrily.

Yan Shenggong...

Duke Yan Sheng was actually careless.

He knew that Yang Feng was like a wolf and a tiger, so he couldn't stay inside to confront him. That villain was not a reasonable person, so he hurried out. Originally, he wanted to wait for Fan Zhiwan to capture Yang Feng before going in. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Su as soon as he went out. Dunsheng, Du Li came over with a huge number of robes. These people came over happily and waited to pick Yang Feng up to drink with him, but Du and Li obviously brought him there on purpose. When he came out, they immediately stepped forward to stop him and asked what was going on inside. Just inside, Chen Changyan was shouting to kill without mercy.

Then he was grabbed by Su Dunsheng.

"My dear nephew, don't mess around. I know it was Yang Feng who forced you, and you were deceived by him. Everything has nothing to do with you."

Kong Yinzhi said earnestly.

He was not worried that Su Dunsheng would accuse him of bribing Jianlu through Su Jing.

Su Jing is not stupid.

This kind of thing cannot be revealed.

After all, he still has the appearance of a Confucian scholar.

But he couldn't sue Su Dunsheng together, otherwise Su Jing would fight him desperately even if it was for his own son. After all, apart from his high status, Yan Shenggong had no power at all, and no one even respected him. .

The more Shandong gentry became, the less they respected him.

He didn't even dare to file a lawsuit against Du Li, Qin Xu, and Gao Da.

These all have context.

If the trouble gets bigger, it will be difficult for him to get along in Lunan. Bandits may come to Qufu one day.

The scholars looked at them blankly.

"Yanshenggong, isn't it just two hundred thousand taels? Students know that you are unwilling to pay, but Fengsheng is also to protect the tomb of Confucius and protect the Confucian temples in various places. Even if we are willing, how can we recruit troops without money? The students dispersed in Juzhou The family wealth was used to recruit volunteers. Fengsheng and others also spent their money to recruit brave men to go north. The other Zhuang, Qin, and high school students all spent their lives. Isn’t it your ancestors that we are defending? Just because of Fengsheng, I forced you to pay the two hundred thousand taels. Military, you framed him and wanted to kill him? The rebels persecuted Shandong, and countless families were ruined in various places. Only your family's wealth was not lost. Now when we are working together to protect our country, you framed him for only 200,000 taels. Zhongliang, are you worthy of the tomb of Confucius?

What's more, it just requires you to pay in advance.

If you can repel the Jianlu and save Qingzhou and Denglai, how can the gentry from all over the country let you pay this money in vain?
  If something happens to Fengsheng, we won't care about the tomb of Confucius, the Confucian temples in various places, and even Yan Shenggong doesn't care about our ancestors. Why should we be so troublesome? Let's all go our separate ways! "

Du Li said angrily.

Those scholars understood instantly.

Yang Feng's three thousand cavalry were supported by extorting 200,000 taels from Yan Shenggong.

but……

This is to protect them!
  This is Yan Shenggong paying to protect them. This kind of good thing is pie in the sky.

As for blackmail...

Everyone knows who Yan Shenggong is. How could you pay him if you don’t blackmail him? Now Yan Shenggong has complained to Fan Zhiwan for this money. Fan Zhiwan wanted to arrest Yang Feng, but he did. Yang Feng's cavalry has also dispersed. This is the biggest hope of the Qingzhou gentry now.

"Mr. Yansheng, is this your loyalty? The student's grandfather was the former deputy censor of the capital. The student Danggui asked, if Duke Yan is still like this, why should we study the books of sages?"

A Yishan said angrily.

"Shenggong Yan, I heard that no city in Yanzhou was spared from the Jianlu massacre, but I don't know why I let Qufu go? My father was also a governor. I would like to go back and ask my father if Qufu has a strong army."

Another Yishan said grimly.

……

Duke Yan Sheng looked at the terrifying faces around him in astonishment.

"Mr. Yansheng, you are the leader of the gentry in Shandong. Now that Shandong is in trouble, you framed Zhongliang for money. Aren't you afraid that everyone will despise you in the future?"

Su Dunsheng shouted.

Just then.

"Quick, go in for reinforcements. This guy is extremely fierce. I can't hold him down. I brought my firearms and went in to prepare blunderbuss. I asked why the Eighth General Soldier of the Imperial Court didn't dare to provoke the Jianlu, but he defeated the enemy with a ragtag group. With this Why do you need others to be fierce?”

Chen Changyan ran out in panic and shouted to the soldiers watching the excitement.

then……

He stared blankly at the chaos.

"Chen Changyan is jealous of the virtuous and capable. He is jealous of Fengsheng's achievements in defeating the enemy and wants to put Fengsheng to death!"

Du Li suddenly pointed at him and shouted.

"He is from Shanxi. He had business with Jianlu and deliberately killed Fengsheng!"

Su Dunsheng shouted.

"You, you, don't slander anyone!"

Chen Changyan shouted in panic.

"Students, we are fighting for the country."

Du Li shouted.

Then he rushed towards Chen Changyan. What should those scholars care about at this time? They can't let anything happen to Yang Feng anyway. Besides, Chen Changyan is the censor, and this job is just to offend people. There are many scholars who don't like him.

"Yes, he colluded with Jianlu. The last time Jianlu attacked the city, he must have caused it."

shouted a scholar.

"Killing traitors for the country!"

……

Then they immediately rushed towards Chen Changyan.

"Stop them, stop them quickly, it's a crime to assault an official!"

Chen Changyan grabbed a soldier and shouted.

The soldier subconsciously raised his gun...

"My father supervises the censor, you dare to hit me?"

Su Dunsheng shouted.

The soldier instinctively put it down again.

The other soldiers wanted to stop him at first, but then all the scholars reported their family status. Among them, the children and grandchildren of the supervisory censor were not counted. In fact, there were also the grandson of Fang Kezhuang, the former deputy censor of the capital, and the former right minister of the Ministry of War. In short, most of the sons of the governor of Henan and Shaanxi Military Affairs, Ren Jun, had former or current high-ranking officials in the imperial court, at least at the state level.

Qingzhou is such a place.

The largest group of imperial examination officials in Shandong started from the eastern part of Jinan Prefecture, which is modern Zibo, and then eastward to Qingzhou and all the way to Zhucheng.

This was the case during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Once the soldiers heard these identities, basically no one dared to stop them.

Whoever gets hurt is his own misfortune.

Su Dunsheng was the first to rush forward, and punched Chen Changyan.

The latter struggled to break away, then turned around and ran inside.

A scholar with quick eyesight and quick hands grabbed the soldier's blunderbuss and threw it at Chen Changyan's head. Chen Xunzhen screamed and covered his head. However, just after this delay, several scholars behind him rushed up and pushed him down. Then someone stepped on it. Speaking of which, there is no fear of trouble here. Now that the world is in chaos, it is worthy of the Zhu family that local powerful people can support the imperial court. Chongzhen cannot protect local powerful people anyway. He can't even protect his own clan. King De of Jinan has been taken prisoner by Jianlu and is outside the pass. King Lu of Yanzhou has just died. If you are like this, who is still afraid of the court?
  Chen Changyan is a Shanxi native and only serves as an official in Shandong. Now that even the imperial court is not afraid of him, who is still afraid of him?

"Stop it, stop it, it's all my fault, I'm old and confused, I have a sudden phlegm attack, and I'm talking nonsense."

Duke Yan Sheng cried and shouted from behind.

Of course, no one paid attention to him, and poor Chen Xunjian still wailed during the beating.

Inside the main hall.

"Supervisor Fan, I think it's not impossible that Mr. Yan Sheng, who is old, suddenly suffers from phlegm and talks nonsense. Why don't you call him in and let me take a look at him? I still have some medical skills. I am good at treating sudden phlegm, mental illness and other diseases, and I also have some magic skills, and I am quite experienced in dealing with ghosts and other things. If you call him in, I guarantee that he can regain his sanity."

Yang Feng sat there with his legs crossed, looking at Fan Zhiwan who was being protected by his servant with a sincere smile.

The latter looked at his face silently.

Governor Fan actually knew very well that this was indeed the best solution.

He now also understood why Yan Shenggong was so afraid of staying and confronting him. He had known that this bitch would be difficult to deal with, so he pushed him into the fire pit and ran out to hide. He called Yan Shenggong back because of this behavior. It was also very satisfying to let Yang Feng clean up his anger. But the problem is that this kind of thing will eventually be exposed. At that time, he will have to bet whether Chongzhen will raid his home. Now that he has boarded the ship, it is difficult to get off. If he hadn't been so stupid before, he could have complained to Chongzhen, but just pretended that nothing happened.

But now...

"In the capital hall, the scholars are making trouble outside and are beating up Chen Xunjian."

a soldier ran in and shouted in panic.

"Uh?"

Fan Zhiwan covered his forehead.

Then he looked at Yang Feng...

"What exactly do you want to do?"

he said angrily.

He already understood that this was a set-up, including that Yang Feng came here deliberately and was caught.

"Director Fan, whatever I want to do will not be a bad thing for you. You are here to encircle and suppress the Jianlu, and we Shandong gentry do not want the Jianlu to come again for the third time. Even if they come for the third time, we will not let them slaughter us. We We no longer count on the court. The first time you failed to protect us, the evil spirits of Jinan are looking at you. The second time you still failed to protect us, the evil spirits of dozens of cities are looking at you. Yishui, Mengyin, Fei County, Yanzhou, these are all like mountains of corpses. I fished out a pile of corpses of women who refused to be humiliated and committed suicide in a well outside Yishui City.

Nothing but three.

We don't want a third time.

If you can't protect us, we have to protect ourselves, but you also know that our emperor is unlikely to agree, even if we have no other intentions, just to protect ourselves.

He wouldn't agree either.

He has a good face.

This would make him very ashamed.

But he is also bully and afraid of toughness, so let's be tougher.

As for you..."

Yang Feng sneered.

"You know his temper well. If you can't give him a victory and make him look good, aren't you afraid that you will become the next Yuan Chonghuan? Or do you think Liu Zeqing and his ilk under you can really give you the same success as me? A great victory?"

He said.
