Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 364

On the banks of the river, there was a real silence at the moment. Everyone couldn't react for a while. Four or five of these policemen who were arrogant and domineering just now died in a blink of an eye, and the rest also jumped into the river.

"Bring a bow and arrow over here!!"

Wang Tong shouted in a low voice, some of the guards on horseback were carrying bows and arrows, upon hearing Wang Tong's order, they hurried back to get them, and the bows and arrows were delivered to Wang Tong's hands after a while.

Facing the thumping people in the river, Wang Tong raised his bow and set his arrows, and began to aim. The northern land in March and a half was not warm at all, and it was very cold in the river, which was very uncomfortable.

Seeing that the killing god on the shore actually took out the bow and arrow, they were so frightened that they couldn't care about anything, so they screamed loudly:
"My lord above, we are military preparations, Lord Yu (Grandfather Xu)..."

The distance between the water and the shore is not far, of course Wang Tong could hear clearly, but whoever paid attention to him, let go of the bowstring with a cold face, and the long arrow shot straight out, hitting a person, watching the person screaming and sinking, Wang Tong took another arrow, and it started again and again.

Six arrows were shot in one breath, four were shot at the vital points of the face and neck, and two were shot at the back of the arm. Dive directly into the water to avoid being shot by bows and arrows.

Wang Tong couldn't find any more targets, so he threw his bow on the ground and said:
"Bring up all the people in the water and on the boat, and wait for the official's release!"

The people behind agreed, and Wang Tong issued orders one after another.

The river was already extremely congested. Just now, those messengers went down by boat to drive them away. When they saw the murder on the bank, they couldn't even run away. There were boats all around, how could they move.

In addition, just now they are fierce and domineering, and those Shandong boatmen are willing to help them. After the soldiers of the Huwei Army put the boat down the river, they hooked up both the living and the dead in the water with hooks, and threatened them with spears and arrows. Can obediently get caught.

On the shore and on the river, Wang Tong's men shouted loudly:
"Fathers and elders, just now these thieves pretended to be officials and bullied merchants. Lord Wang of Jinyiwei Qianhu received an urgent report, so he led his troops to eliminate the harm. Tianjin Wei welcomes you to do business, do business according to the rules, and don't worry about anything Extortion, swindling and abduction, Jin Yiwei will decide for everyone."

"The tax money on the river is [-]%, and those who have been overcharged just now, please come to the bank to report and go through the formalities, and all the overpaid money will be refunded!"

The people over there brought up a few small sampans, folded them upside down on the ground and stacked them to form a wooden platform. Wang Tong stood on it and said loudly:
"Fellow folks, merchants from afar, my official came late, and let you be frightened by such aggression. I use this head as a guarantee, and I use this official position as a guard. Similar things will never happen again in the future." , Tianjin Wei only charged [-]% of the merchants who were extorted tax money just now, and the remaining [-]% was used as a shock fee."

After Wang Tong finished speaking, there were constant buzzing discussions below. Hearing what this fierce young man Qianhu said, everyone felt at ease even though they were not going. It can still be done.

"Everyone, please go to the south gate of Tianjin Acropolis in two hours, and I will give you an account of what happened today!!"

After Wang Tong finished speaking, he jumped off his horse and headed towards the city. The soldiers behind came and tied up those terrified people and took them away.

The apparently ignorant tax collectors returned to the tax card and began to collect taxes there. The conflict that occurred in the morning and the killing just now seemed to have never happened, and the normal order was quickly restored. However, the blood in the river has not completely melted away, and the area near the river bank is red and black.

**********
Everyone in the world knows that Chief Assistant Zhang Juzheng Zhang Gelao and Inner Court Lieutenant Feng Bao and Eunuch Feng are allies, so the apprentices and grandchildren under them naturally want to get close.

Especially when it comes to Tianjin Wei, where they are unfamiliar, the two sides need to help each other and communicate with each other. As a result, the newly appointed Tianjin guard Beidao Yu Jiyong and grain supervisor Xu Guang are as close to each other as their predecessors Panda and Wan Dao Very often, I often go to the other party's house to visit and meet with guests.

Just this morning, the two were drinking tea in the study. Xu Guang, a chubby middle-aged man, said with a smile:

"Not to mention the Haihe Riverside, the water transportation to Tianjinwei is well done, and you can get a thousand or two of income a day, but you always have a few pocket money in your hands, so it's not that much."

Yu Jiyong was thinner, took a sip from his teacup, and said complacently:
"When I heard that Yu was released to Tianjin, many relatives and friends came to seek refuge. I always give them a place to repay their promise. This canal is a good place!"

"Your Excellency Yu is a man of faith. According to the news from the capital, missions from various ministries and inner court supervisors have already left. We have to straighten out all these things that Wang Tong has tossed about. We will still be tired by then. !"

"Don't say this, it's all for His Majesty, to work for Mr. Zhang Ge and Mr. Feng, you and I should work hard, but we must follow the rules in the future, if you don't want to accept money from a gentleman, then don't go..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the noise outside. Yu Jiyong frowned and smiled at Xu Guang:

"Eunuch Xu, many of the servants followed me when I was out of Beijing. I don't know the rules to advance and retreat, so I made my father-in-law laugh at me."

When Beijing officials are released, many people often devote themselves to them and follow the official out of the capital to make a fortune. This is also a custom in official circles. Xu Guang still smiled and said:
"My lord's words are off-putting, don't you say that your lord is here, even our family can't bring it..."

The conversation was interrupted again, but this time, someone knocked open the door of the study directly, and saw a servant in a green coat and a cap stumbled into the door, as if he had tripped over the threshold.

Yu Jiyong finally couldn't hold back his face, he slapped the table hard, and was about to yell, but saw a group of soldiers rushing in.

Everyone was wearing flying fish suits, with knives and axes in their hands. Some of them still had blood stains on their bodies. Although they were young, their murderous aura was coming from the surface. This made Mr. Yu immediately feel his throat dry and his whole body go limp. The teacup in the hand of the Eunuch Xu next to him didn't even hold it, and fell to the ground directly, smashing it to pieces.

"You... you... who... who are you... who dare to trespass on my mansion!!"

This is when Ji Yong almost squeezed these words out of his throat, the soldiers did not push forward, but just bowed and said:
"Master Yu, this must be Eunuch Xu. The younger one is ordered by Lord Wang to invite the two adults to go outside the south gate for punishment."

Seeing these young men saluting, their words were still polite. Yu and Xu finally calmed down a lot, and they became more courageous. Yu Jiyong forced himself to calm down, and said coldly:
"Watch what kind of punishment, reply to Mr. Wang, I am busy with business, I really can't get away, please forgive me."

These words can't even be said to be stern and soft. It's just to let these soldiers give face. However, these Jinyi guards said indifferently:

"I'm really sorry that the incident happened in a hurry, but please move around with Mr. Yu and Eunuch Xu. If it's inconvenient, the younger ones can help you."

Seeing that the strong soldiers were about to come up, Yu Jiyong and Xu Guang trembled, so they dared to say no, they just said repeatedly:

"Let me change my official uniform, change my official uniform."

*************
The south gate of the Tianjin Acropolis is already crowded with people. Everyone can see a dozen corpses lying there, and dozens of people kneeling there with their mouths gagged and tied up, followed by heavily armed guards in brocade clothes.

Near the city gate, an open space has been cleared, with several sets of tables and chairs, and currently only one young man, Qian Huduan, is sitting there.

It was almost noon when a group of people came out of the blocked city gate. The two leaders were wearing official uniforms, but judging from their expressions and the serious soldiers behind them, they looked like Jin Yiwei escorting prisoners Out of town.

Not only the spectators thought this way, but even Yu Jiyong and Xu Guang thought so. Although the Jinyi guards along the way were indifferent and serious, they didn't do anything intrusive, and their courage gradually recovered.

I thought to myself, Wang Tong, you are just a grasshopper after autumn, and you have a few days to live, but you are still so domineering, you must make it clear.

When they got outside the city, seeing the dozens of corpses and those people who had been struggling as soon as they came, the anger in their hearts became more intense, and the two got off their horses, then Yu Ji Yong snorted coldly and walked directly towards that side , Xu Guang followed.

When he came to the table, Wang Tong sat there with a big horse and a golden knife, without moving a bit. Yu Ji Yong was about to scold him, but Wang Tong spoke first.

"Master Yu, I heard that you have six family members and 20 servants in the capital. You are not poor, but at most you are a well-to-do family. Since you got the job of military preparation and came to Tianjin Wei, you have already had 46 family members and servants. 150 people, with so many people coming, they must find some way to make a fortune, right? Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and I understand that some money can be touched, and some money can't be touched. Before leaving Beijing, You Qi Didn't I teach you?"

The so-called hearing, these figures are too accurate, Yu Jiyong's anger is still there, but his face gradually turned pale, Xu Guang beside him sneered, and before he could speak, Wang Tong raised his finger and said:
"I set up a card to collect taxes to make money for the palace. Xu Guang, you bastard, you have lost your mind because of your greed for money. You dare to get your hands on this money. Go back and ask Eunuch Feng if he agrees. "

Xu Guang's face immediately changed, and his body bent a little. Wang Tong said coldly:
"These bastards pretend to be officials, privately plunder tax money, and blackmail merchants. In order to set the sight straight, I will behead them first to show the public. I invite two adults to watch the punishment. Sit down and watch!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the guards around him immediately shouted:
"My lord has an order, cut it~~~~!!"
