Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1025

The Duke of Liao had a big banquet today, and even the guards of the city gates in Shanghai County were invited, which is really unreliable.

People from inside and outside the city came in and out, and everyone was swearing.

"It's really lawless. If someone comes over the river, they can't even close the city gate. In the past, the county magistrate would lose his hat."

"What's coming up the river? You're just worrying about nothing!"

"Worry about it, you forgot when you were making trouble with Japanese pirates? Didn't they all come from there?"

"The thief has been in the city for a long time, is he still using it?"

Discussions are discussions, and in fact there is nothing that can be done, just scolding a few words, and when they are aggrieved, someone sees a group of people approaching in the distance.

In the clear sky, there were actually thieves. The people inside and outside the city gate were scared out of their wits. Some wanted to run away, and some cried in terror. When the situation was about to become chaotic, there were a few big men at the city gate. shouted there:

"Don't panic, elders, they belong to the Duke of Liao, they belong to the Duke of Liao!"

The big men in front of the door were dressed like fishermen and ordinary people. The sudden shouts made people jump. Some shouted in Songjiang dialect, while others yelled in Mandarin. Songjiang dialect is nothing, but the official dialect made many people calm down. When I got down, the mandarin with a northern accent really showed my identity. Most of the pirates and water thieves were locals or people from the south.

The four city gates, except for the north gate which is not open as usual, the other three city gates all had this experience, each with more than a hundred people rushing over, and someone came here to respond and calm everyone's emotions.

Everyone settled down, but they were a little puzzled, this Songjiang mansion is now the territory of the Duke of Liao, why should they bring troops into the city.

Although there were not many people who came, it was only a few hundred people, and it seemed that they acted in a well-organized way. Some people blocked the city gate, and the rest entered the city in line. Finally, someone thought of the most terrifying possibility. Could it be that this It is a disaster that the soldiers and horses of the Duke of Liao are going to loot the city.

Some people screamed, some cried, and the big families in the city closed their doors one after another, gathering men to stand against the door to be on guard, and some local scoundrels thought this was an opportunity, and instead gathered people to take to the streets to grab a ticket.

But immediately someone beat a gong and rode a horse to shout along the street, shouting loudly in Songjiang local dialect and Mandarin:

"From now on, the streets will be quiet. People who have nothing to do with them will close their doors when they return home. Anyone who disobeys orders and wanders on the streets will be killed without hesitation."

Naturally, the common people didn't dare to stay in the street any longer, they all hurried home to escape, but those local ruffians who gathered to rob them were caught off guard.

Before they had time to drill back, they saw dozens of cavalry coming from all directions. They were just gangsters who wanted to take advantage of the fire, and the elite cavalry who had resisted Wang Tong's men were still condescending cavalry.

The cavalry rushed forward, the bamboo poles and knives and axes in their hands were useless at all, they were directly passed by the cavalry and chopped off with a single blow.

During the robbery, there was still a bit of ruthlessness. When he was chopped off by a knife, his body was severed, and blood spurted wildly. The companion who escaped by chance was sprayed all over his face with blood. He was frightened and frightened. The Songjiang Mansion was also at peace for a long time. Where have they seen such a cruel scene? Many people even forgot to run away, and were paralyzed on the street in fright, collapsing and incontinent.

Sha Dongning was wearing light armor and riding a horse holding a long knife, but the two behind him were Mo Zhigen and Batu.

"Team Sha, all the streets in the county have been cleared."

Sha Dongning nodded on the horse. In front of the horse were a few people dressed as shop assistants. Sha Dongning leaned forward and asked:
"Have you heard all about it?"

"Please don't worry, my lord. The places where the stolen goods are hidden and sold in various places in the city, and the residences in the city of the sea thieves have all been found out. My lord, please allocate troops and horses, and the subordinates will lead the way."

*******************
This side of Wang Tong's mansion is very lively, the county magistrate and inspectors are all in the main hall, and the rest are in the courtyard.

The banquet is quite sumptuous, this is a cook specially invited from Songjiang Fucheng, the banquet he made is quite elegant, the public in the county usually eats wine and meat, which is a bit greasy, I have seen so many tricks there, each His eyes are shining, and this wine is said to be a good wine brought by the Duke of Liao from the north, and no one wants to taste it.

No one noticed that the courtyard gate was closed, and there were still footsteps outside.

"Subordinates and others see Liao Guogong, the public security is good."

The Shanghai county magistrate, county magistrate, and inspectors in the main hall immediately got up to salute when they saw Wang Tong coming in. They all wanted to leave their seats and kowtow when they saw Wang Tong.

However, after knelt down and kowtowed, he didn't hear the next "please get up", Wang Tong stood there and said:
"Since Songjiang was opened as a port, all of you have made a lot of money. Those who do business in and around Shanghai County will make offerings to you, right?"

After being told by Wang Tong, the people below were like pouring a basin of cold water. The timid ones were already trembling all over. The warriors who inspected were quicker to react, and said in a hiss from below:

"Grandpa, the little one has been stationed outside the city to investigate. I really don't know what's going on inside the city. The villain is wronged."

"Isn't there a [-]% discount on the goods that pass your card? Didn't you also say, what is he doing in the Liao Kingdom? When you come to Songjiang, you have to follow Songjiang's rules?"

As soon as the inspection was broken, all the strength in his body was taken away, and he collapsed on the ground suddenly, unable to get up again.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is on the right track of the imperial examination, and is the county magistrate appointed by His Majesty to herdsmen. How to deal with it is up to the magistrate and Nanjing."

"Songjiang, the general office of my government, and the civil and military officials of Songjiang Prefecture are all under the jurisdiction of this official. What do you think about the will of the Holy Majesty, do you think it is wrong?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Tong ignored the trembling Shanghai County below, and just said with a sneer:

"If you can do things well, no one will care if you want to get some money. You guys can't do things like this. Instead, you focus on making money. This money making is messy and smoky. What do you want to do with such waste , Why do you leave it here, take care of it here, and lock it up if you shout and move around."

The guards on the side agreed loudly, ignoring the civil and military officials in the county who were either collapsed or collapsed on the ground like sifting chaff, Wang Tong walked out of the main hall.

With the door closed, the people outside didn't know what happened inside, they only saw Wang Tong come out, someone sang a ceremony, and all the people hurriedly left the table and knelt down to kowtow.

Wang Tong ignored it, but picked up the drumsticks and slammed a few times on a drum placed by the gate. What kind of thing is it to play a drum? There is no such rule in a big family, and now listening to drums is even more confusing.

It was at this time that the gate opened, and a group of big men rushed into the courtyard with sharp knives and surrounded everyone.

It can be seen that these big men are all wearing a certain style of short-breasted cloth clothes, with blue cloth scarves wrapped around their heads, but they all know the people who dress up in Songjiang Mansion, and they are all sailors and sailors on the big ships brought by the Duke of Liao.

It was supposed to be a banquet, so what was the sudden meeting of swords and soldiers, but looking at the ferocious appearance of this group of people, it was not a good thing, everyone was still kneeling on the ground, and it was too late to get up.

"You colluded with bandits and harmed the people, and there are still pretending to be pirates to rob rich families. Is there no law in the court?"

Wang Tong said coldly, the voice was not loud, but now the courtyard is extremely quiet, hundreds of people can hear clearly, their appearance is not as good as those high-level civil and military people in the hall, some of them just lay on the ground.

"Since February, a total of 26 young women have disappeared inside and outside the city, 61 boys and girls have disappeared, and 12 businessmen who came to Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture for business have also disappeared. Gambling is not enough, but you still do such unreasonable things, you can do it in your hometown."

Trafficking people and robbing merchants, these crimes are worthy of beheading and ransacking their homes. Wang Tong is talking about the crimes, surrounded by soldiers with sharp knives, and no one understands what's going on.

Dare to do such unreasonable things, you must have the courage, Wang Tong was about to continue, but someone jumped up from the crowd, pointed at Wang Tong and said loudly:
"Everyone started to make a fuss together, the law does not blame the public, if he is arrested and questioned, we will not benefit, there are not many of them, let's fight!!"

This person yelled and shouted, and the crowd kneeling on the ground became agitated. Some people seemed to stand up, but the person who jumped up first was still instigating:
"Let's catch this Wang Tong first."

Wang Tong smiled and shook his head, raised his hand and made a gesture. The archer on the roof of the wing stretched his bow and set an arrow, and shot it down. The long bow and big arrow were accurate again, and the arrow pierced through the man's forehead. , didn't even have time to scream, and fell directly on the ground.

"Does the saying that the law does not blame the public also apply to you? If you all make trouble, then you all die!"

Wang Tong said again, the big men who surrounded Gongren all took a step forward with their weapons in their hands. Seeing this posture, those who stood up just now were so frightened that they knelt back.

"One by one, climb out from the main gate and be tied up. Those who are guilty will be convicted and dealt with according to the law, and those who are not guilty will go back to work. I will give you justice. If you want to resist, if you think you are good at it, just try it, my lord. Give you a good time."

The gate opened over there, and there were more soldiers waiting outside, and it was unknown who took the lead, walking on hands and knees, and crawled out, followed by everyone behind.

**************
"Is it here?"

"That's it, the Cao family is the biggest nest owner in the area!"

After the question and answer with the guide, Sha Dongning waved his hand and ordered:

"Break the door!"
