Blood from Daming

Chapter 61 Caravan
Datong City has calmed down, but the entire Datong City is still closed and no entry or exit is allowed. The imperial envoy announced that the whole city of Datong City will be seized and martial law will be seized, but someone jumped out to try this imperial envoy. Are the words of an adult useful?

Xue Yun said to Zhao Zhifu of Datong Prefecture in the vice general's mansion: "Among the three merchants that the magistrate had liaised with Jianlu, the Wang family's assassination seemed to see the court's rightful crimes and the nine clans, so we should be extra merciful and kill him all over the house."

The prefect Zhao of Datong prefecture said with some embarrassment: "Actually, the Wang family of Datong and the Zhangjiakou Wang family of Xuanfu are distant relatives. It’s just a hand-off, it’s okay for the adults to let them bleed, but if they act harshly, it will cause Xuanda, Shanxi and even the officials of the imperial court to retaliate, and it will have a great impact on the future of the adults.”

After a while, Xue Yun sighed and said: "Businessmen are innately driven to seek profit, just like us being an official for thousands of miles is for money, Mr. Zhifu said from the bottom of his heart, it's normal for people to have distracting thoughts, but there must be a bottom line, and you can't do everything for money. Do it, this business of treason and ancestors is even more unacceptable.”

Zhao Zhifu of Datong Prefecture sighed in admiration: "After listening to your lord's words, I suddenly realized that your words are really insightful. It seems that these businessmen can't be allowed to do anything wrong. It's time to set rules for them."

Xue Yun: "The prefect's lord, Wang's family, let's see what they want first, and raise them first when they want to."

The prefect Zhao of Datong Prefecture asked suspiciously: "What is your lord saying about raising them?"

Xue Yun: "The pig has grown fat. If it is not obedient, it will be slaughtered. Don't everyone have more meat to eat?"

Zhao Zhifu of Datong Prefecture suddenly realized: "Your Excellency has a good opinion, it is really high, it is really high, hahaha." The two enjoyed tea in the official hall.

Just when Xue Yun was having a good talk with Datong Governor Zhao, some soldiers came in to report that a large number of businessmen gathered in the direction of Heyangmen intending to break through the city.

When Xue Yun heard the anger rising on his face, he was too disrespectful to Lao Tzu, so he turned to look at the prefect of Datong, and the prefect of Datong said, "Call the person who delivered the letter to come in and ask."

After a while, a sergeant was brought in. Master Zhao, the magistrate of Datong, said, "Please explain the situation of Heyangmen clearly, what exactly happened."

The sergeant who reported the message replied: "The younger one is the new Chief Fei's subordinate. My lord has ordered the whole city to be under martial law to arrest the rebels, and no one is allowed to go out of the city. He Yangmen guards have already sent people to Dongguan. Fei Ba doesn't dare to be arbitrary. , Now block people in Yueguan, please make a decision."

Xue Yun and Datong Zhao Zhifu looked at each other and shook their heads, Datong Zhao Zhifu hurriedly said: "Master Xue, let's go and have a look first."

Xue Yun went out of the mansion together with the prefect of Datong Zhao, and at the same time ordered the leader Tu, Li Baihu to lead people to follow, and asked Lu Yaojin to select the uninjured people from the more than 300 people, and put together about 300 people to go to the accident together The Heyang Gate.

Xue Yun always felt that something was wrong, and it took a while to realize that he didn't see Miss Yu today, and the men and women are not tired from working together. Miss Yu always seemed to be missing something, so she asked Lu Yaojin: "Miss Yu Why haven't I seen anyone today?"

Lu Yaojin replied: "Someone from Yu's family asked her to go back. She left this morning. Wasn't he the young master who was with you last night?" I thought Miss Yu and I were doing something last night, but in fact, it doesn’t matter what others say, the key point is that if you don’t have a blank name, you will lose a lot of money.

Xue Yun asked Yang Zhenlei to inform Xue Liu that he would send another 1 taels of silver, and asked him to find a way to transfer some people to support Heyangmen. I'm afraid it's all been done, halfway along the way, 80 to [-] government servants from the magistrate of Datong came, and Xue Yun and the others finally gained some momentum.

When Xue Yun, the magistrate of Datong Zhao arrived at Heyangmen, the city gate long street was full of people from the beginning to the end, the magistrate Li of Datong County rushed over, sweat on his face as if he had just taken a bath.

Mr. Li, the magistrate of Datong County, narrated what happened: several caravans from Datong City flocked to Heyang Gate early this morning to ask the defenders to let them out of the city. The defenders of Yangmen refused to open the door. Recently, more and more Chinese caravans gathered. There were nearly [-] large and small caravans. Among them, the Fan family, Tian family, and Datong Wang family were the main ones. Eight hundred vehicles and several thousand caravans.

Datong guard Liang Ningguo reached Heyangmen and talked with the shopkeepers of the Fan family and Tian family in the Xuanfu. It is said that the shopkeeper Fan finally showed the personal letter from the governor of Xuanda and the general soldier of Xuanda, so the guard Liang Ningguo let it go on his own initiative. The huge caravan left Heyang Gate, but the newly appointed Fei Bazong strongly refused the caravan's exit on the grounds that the entire city was under martial law by the imperial envoy.

Lizhi County of Datong County led three classes of yamen servants to the Fan family in the Shixuan Mansion. The caravan guards of the Tian family and Fei Bazong's soldiers used knives. Both sides were injured. Only then did the fighting be stopped. Now Fei Bazong and Wang Bazong have to be approved by the imperial envoy before they let go, and they must be held accountable for killing and injuring the officers and soldiers of the caravan. The appointed Qianhu also slipped away.

Lizhi County of Datong County arrived and tried every means to persuade the caravan to obey the government's arrangement, but the shopkeepers of the caravan refused to listen, and the guards all went forward to prepare for the fight. Unfortunately, the narrow city of Wengcheng was full of traffic jams, and the people in front kept turning around. It was difficult, and everyone was crowded together and couldn't move.

Xue Yun, when Zhao Zhifu of Datong was listening to the speech of Li Zhixian in Datong, a group of people walked up to Xue Yun and the others, and the people around the leader stepped forward and asked: "Are you the people in charge in Datong City? My master Xuanfu The third treasurer of the Fan family wants to borrow a word from you."

As soon as Xue Yun heard it, he thought it was weird to see the official uniform on the buddy. Are you blind and can’t see it? You are a small businessman and the young master, what kind of elephant do I pretend to be? Xue Yun just pretended not to see it, Master Li said : "Treasurer Fan San, you must know how to measure yourself in front of the imperial envoy and magistrate, and hurry up to pay respects."

The leader stepped forward and said to Xue Yun and the magistrate Zhao of Datong: "It turns out that there are two lords. Our caravans cannot stop for a moment because they have important matters. If you two lords make it easier for me, my master will definitely reward you generously. "

Zhao Zhifu of Datong: "The whole city of Datong is under martial law to investigate the traitors. After everything is over, you will be allowed to pass. You wait for a few days, and you must know that trespassing the city without permission is a felony."

Shopkeeper Fan San handed over a gift list, and Master Li, the magistrate of Datong County, took it and held it in front of Xue Yun. Xue Yun didn't read the gift list but said to shopkeeper Fan San: "You take this thing back, the imperial court will not tolerate any compromise. , Now that you all return to your original places, I will pretend that nothing happened."

Shopkeeper Fan San: "We have Governor Xuanda, and the personal letters and goods of General Xuanda are all owned by the owner. If you delay the business, the official will blame you, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it."

Datong Zhaofu and Datong Lizhi County all looked at Xue Yun. At this time, Dongguan Fei squeezed his subordinates over from Heyangmen, and told Xue Yun: Fei Ba always prevented the caravan from leaving the customs illegally. Two of the general's subordinates died and thirteen were injured. If Wang hadn't killed the general's brigade, the caravan would have killed people and left.

Xue Yun cursed with black anger on his face: "Mere businessmen are already so insane. If they dare to assassinate the court officials, it is already treason. Come and arrest all these scumbags. Anyone who resists will be killed."

Shopkeeper Fan San said in horror: "My lord, what reason do you have, just pay a few dollars for someone's life, there is no need to mobilize teachers like this, and we are not just anyone who can make a difference."

The magistrate Zhao of Datong came out to smooth things over and said: "Fan San's shopkeeper has such a big incident, and you can't leave. Why don't you hand over the murderer and stay in Datong City for two more days."

Shopkeeper Fan San looked at the people behind him and saw that everyone was stiff-necked, so he said to Xue Yun: "Everyone started fighting with each other, we lost money and left, just count us as unlucky, I won't hand over people." We are businessmen who can't even protect our own people, who will trust us in the future." Seeing that Xue Yun was young, Fan Sanzhang saw that Xue Yun was young, and his subordinates rarely tried to make trouble.

It happened that Xue Liu led 500 people to arrive. Xue Yun waved his big hand to get out of the way. Xue Liu rushed forward without saying a word. Leading his subordinates around to arrest people, Datong Zhao Zhifu and Datong Li Zhixian saw that the time had come to this point, anyway, they should be arrested if there is an imperial envoy to resist, and the yamen servants who commanded the two offices also followed.

Shopkeeper Fan San retreated into the crowd, and about [-] guards blocked the way, confronting Xue Liu and the others with arms.Someone in the caravan blew a whistle, and after a while there was a shout of killing from Dongguan. Xue Yun stood on a high place and mobilized his inner strength to shout: "Xuanfu Datong caravan murdered officials and rebelled, and the soldiers and civilians of Datong City obey orders!" Anyone who punishes traitors will be rewarded and sympathized with, and treason is not allowed under the law of the country, even the family." I am afraid that the voice will not be heard more than ten miles away, guarding Liang Ningguo, Fei Bazong, and Wang Bazong. It is clear, that is, the people in the whole Datong City can hear it clearly.

Xue Yun: "Come and send the prefect of Datong and the prefect of Datong to a safe place later." What else did the prefect Zhao and Li prefect of Datong want to say, and several soldiers quickly left the battlefield with the two of them in between. Xue Yun said: "Kneel down and surrender to avoid death, and the rest will be dealt with as traitors, and they will all be killed."
