People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 35 Officials are angry! Gao Mengde was burned to death! Chen Han's cat cried and the mouse ran to express his condolences!

Chen Han's words were deeply believed by Jin Yiwei Qianhu and the beauties around him.

Although the common people are usually very docile, they seem to be allowed to be bullied by these officials.

In fact, if it touches their bottom line, they will rebound.

For example, Chen Han's reform is now carried out by hundreds of Jinyiwei people who distributed leaflets and posted them on the streets. Everyone knows that land measurement is to determine how much land the powerful have.

Then the people were divided into acres, the head tax was cancelled, and everything was divided into the land tax.

It is obvious that whoever has more fields will pay more taxes.

Those who have no land or little land either pay less tax or pay no tax at all.

And the most important thing is the corvee service, which is the curse placed on the heads of the common people.

All these will be abolished in this reform and all will be transferred into the land tax. Of course, the common people applaud.

Because they are the weak ones in today's taxation. They obviously don't have much land and don't have many people, but they have to pay the most taxes and perform the heaviest corvee. This is unfair in itself.

Chen Han finally came out to help them fight the injustice, but these high-ranking officials impeached Chen Han one by one in the court and wanted to kill Chen Han.

This is not killing Chen Han, this is killing the common people.

Since they want to kill the people, of course the people will unite to kill them.

After Qianhu of the Jin Yiwei understood this, he said: "But Tishuai, there is a disciple of Gao Mengde, the deputy censor of Zuodu, who has been writing letters to Gao Mengde's disciples and former officials in various places, hoping that they will also unite to oppose you locally. reform."

After hearing this, Chen Han raised the fishhook: "Then find out his details. I want to know everything about him."

Qianhu of Jin Yiwei took the order and left.

……

Today, the morning dynasties of the Ming Dynasty are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Zhang Juzheng handles all aspects of the cabinet affairs, and Chen Han does not need to come forward.

Cao Zhengchun is in charge of the palace, and all news will come to him.

Chen Han has been watching the theater quietly these days.

Those seventeen senior officials were scolded like crazy, and all the dirty scandals were made public by the Jin Yiwei.

Gao Mengde's associates were so angry that they gnashed their teeth, but there were also some honest officials who heard that seventeen officials failed to bribe and were punished by kneeling for more than an hour. They were all ridiculed.

They were so angry that these seventeen people did not dare to go out.

In the past few days, the people around them have not stopped harassing them.

Even the extreme common people resorted to all kinds of methods, including urine buckets, feces, and gongs and drums. Anyway, in these three days, the fifty-nine-year-old Gao Mengde instantly aged by more than ten years.

However, he still persisted and wanted to bring Chen Han down.

That night, in the dead of night, the sound of gongs and drums sounded again outside.

He had already asked the Soldiers and Horses Division to send people to camp near his mansion to catch the people who were beating gongs and drums and bring them to justice.

But what surprised him was that the soldiers from the Bingma Division actually followed his orders and came to camp near his house.

Secretly, the team leader who took the lead this time ordered his dozen brothers not to arrest ordinary people.

Why?
Nothing more than that his family was also a victim of heavy corvee labor, errands and heavy taxes.

Although he is an official from the Military and Horse Department, in fact he is just a petty official, not an official.

He is not eligible for salary.

How could he possibly stop the common people?

So the gongs and drums still sounded loudly.

Gao Mengde knew that the soldiers outside were causing trouble at this time, so he was so angry that he returned to the study and began to write furiously. He wants to impeach the head of the Military and Horse Division and have him removed from office.

While he was writing at his desk, he cursed Chen Han, "You bastard, I am incompatible with you.

You are a dirty handyman who was born as a bitch. Once you gain power, you become so arrogant and domineering. You will die a bad death, a bad death! ! "

As he was writing, he found that the brush had split ends.

When a person is angry, even a fly flying over is the source of his anger.

"You bastard! You only have a bad pen but you dare to go against me!?"

He was furious, grabbed the pen and threw it forward.

Only this time he was going to be unlucky.

The pen he threw accidentally knocked down the candlestick next to him.

What is the most popular thing in the study?
The most paper!
Especially when he was writing furiously, he threw a lot of paper balls on the ground.

The oil lamp fell to the ground and spread oil all over the floor.

The oil all over the floor was ignited and soon burned the bookcase next to it.

The books in the bookcase immediately caught fire.

When Gao Mengde saw this, he was shocked and stumbled out of the study.

I don't want to be in a hurry, trip over my feet, fall to the ground, and be chewed up by a dog.

Even though he was fifty-nine years old, he still wanted to fight Chen Han.

But for such an old man, he fell straight onto the blue brick floor, knocking him unconscious. He collapsed to the ground and was instantly swallowed up by the fire.

By the time the servants discovered that the study was on fire and rushed to put out the fire, they were already dead.

It is said that after putting out the fire, he was reduced to ashes.

After the news came out, it caused shock in the whole country.

It was such a big deal that a third-rank official of the imperial court was burned alive in his study.

Even the ten-year-old emperor Wanli Emperor, Chen Han himself, had to express his condolences.

All the civil and military officials in the dynasty, regardless of whether they disliked Gao Mengde or not, because after all, death is the most important thing, they all went to mourn him.

However, although they all knew that Gao Mengde was burned alive in his study, they unanimously blamed Chen Han.

Because if Chen Han hadn't encouraged the people to besiege the mansions of these high-ranking officials, Gao Mengde would not have been awake in the middle of the night and ran to the study to write furiously, thus causing a fire.

As a result, officials, whether upright or dishonest, civil servants or military generals, all pointed their fingers at Chen Han.

In particular, Gao Mengde's students came from all over the world. While they came to express their condolences to Gao Mengde, they also prepared to attack Chen Han.

In Gao Mengde's affair, all the civil and military officials from the dynasty showed up. Whether they had any grudges or not, they all came to serve as officials in the same dynasty. His fate made these officials all feel the desolation of a rabbit dying and a fox pitiful.

And at this moment, a person who all the officials thought was the least worthy and the happiest person appeared at Gao Mengde's funeral - Chen Han came.

Compared with the officials who came to express their condolences, Chen Han only had a sad look on his face. Chen Han not only wore mourning clothes, but also had tears on his face.

He stumbled into the funeral scene, crying and mourning, with an expression that made people cry.

He ran in with a mournful face, and then lay down on Gao Mengde's coffin. He dropped his feet and cried loudly, while shouting: "Master Gao, I'm late, I'm really late!
Although you and I are not born in the same year, month and day, we have also thought about burning yellow paper and worshiping as sworn brothers. Now the good brother is late, the good brother is late! ! "

Gao Mengde's son, who was kneeling next to him, was forty years old this year. When Chen Han said that he and his father were sworn brothers, his face turned dark.

How shameless, you bastard killed my father, and now you come here and want to be your uncle?

I am forty years old, you are twenty-one or twelve years old! !
