Chapter 211 The cleaning has just begun
Not only that, but in many teahouses and restaurants, storytellers also began to talk about the goodness of the pro-military guards, and even told the story of those pretending to be pro-military guards who were exposed and suppressed by the pro-military guards.
Many people applauded after hearing this, and their impression of the pro-military guards was greatly changed.
However, the villain is not a wealthy gentry, but a wealthy businessman.
For the local gentry, since they cannot discredit the military guards, the villains can only be placed on profiteers, and they must not directly discredit their own officials, gentlemen and doctors.
After all, a scholar needs face.
As for bureaucrats such as the governor of Nanzhi, the local chief secretary, and the inspectorate, after receiving the imperial decree to punish them for the civil uprising, they all understood that the imperial court did not intend to compromise.
For example, after the governor Sun Guangyou received the imperial decree to punish him for his salary and rewards, and even to reprimand him, he took a few steps back, slumped on a chair, and said to his confidant Ma Yingquan:
"I didn't expect that Yuanfu would have such great determination! He insisted on letting Haigang Peak set off a bloody storm in Nanzhili, and completely cancel the preferential treatment!"
While speaking, Sun Guangyou asked Ma Yingquan uneasily, "Do you think Yuanfu will no longer use me because of this?"
"Yuan Fusu has great ambitions!"
"But it's really unexpected that Yuanfu is determined to go so far."
Ma Yingquan bowed his hands to Sun Guangyou after speaking: "This is also my fault, the idea was wrong, Dong Wenghui misunderstood Yuanfu's meaning."
"It's not your fault!"
Sun Guangyou waved his hands, then covered his face with his hands, and said without tears: "I have been a Beijing official for so many years for nothing! I didn't really understand Yuansuke."
"Don't worry too much, Dong Weng, you are Yuanfu's person, you can just do things seriously, Yuanfu won't do anything to you."
Ma Yingquan said.
Sun Guangyou said: "But this official career is just one step away from being a servant!"
"Don't worry, Dong Weng, there is nothing you can do. It's not that you don't want to carry out Yuanfu's order seriously, but local tyrants are not easy to mess with."
"If you are the same as Hai Rui, even if you don't become Yuanfu's abandoned son as expected, you will still be hated by the scholar-officials? And after a hundred years of Yuanfu, you will still be blamed for this, so you are You can’t help but speak for the local tyrants.”
Ma Yingquan said.
Sun Guangyou nodded: "You are right."
Then, Sun Guangyou complained: "The people above are fighting right-handedly with the officials, gentry and heroes below with knives. Every time they cut towards Nanzhili, how can we officials in Nanzhili be made?!"
After finishing speaking, Sun Guangyou gritted his teeth again: "What's more, that Hai Rui is really cunning and cunning. I told him not to be so cruel to those who broke into the governor's office. He refused to listen and insisted on suppressing them all; the military guards were framed , He wants to pull us to embarrass the court again! Let Yuanfu feel that we are embarrassing him. Being an official under him is really incompetent!"
After Sun Guangyou vented his anger, he regained his senses and said, "Then follow Yuanfu's intentions and act seriously. You should be caught!"
"Issuing licenses and orders to government offices at all levels to let them cooperate with the patrol team to handle the case. The governor will go to patrol in person. If anyone prevents the patrol team from handling the case, or fails to fulfill his responsibility for surrendering, don't blame the governor from joining him again. At this point, the local tyrants should understand Ben Fu, it's not that Ben Fu doesn't want to help them, it's their bad luck to meet such a determined center and such a difficult boss!"
After Sun Guangyou said this, the governor's people really took it seriously.
Not only the governor's people, but also the inspectors, prosecutors, and prefectures and counties no longer dared to stay out of the matter, but only waited to see Hai Rui's jokes.
They knew that no matter how active they were, Hai Rui would see their jokes next.
Although Zhang Juzheng's punishment for them was not serious, they were only fined half a year's salary and incentive money.
But Sun Guangyou and other bureaucrats know that this decree is obviously Zhang Ju's dissatisfaction with them, dissatisfaction with their implementation of the New Deal, embarrassing Hai Rui, and sitting on the right side of the local Haoyou from time to time, but today they are just confiscated. income, but maybe tomorrow he will be arrested and taken to Beijing to be severely punished.
Therefore, Sun Guangyou and others did not dare to neglect and make Zhang Juzheng dissatisfied.
After all, as members of Zhang's party, without Zhang Juzheng's support, they would be nothing. If their careers were cut off, they might be liquidated.
They have also seen Zhang Juzheng's viciousness in liquidating his own people.
He still remembers the killing of all the members of the Wuxuan Division.
Especially Sun Guangyou, he dared to make things difficult for Hai Rui, but he didn't dare to obey Zhang Juzheng at all.
……
At this time, it was already dusk, and the lights on the Qinhuai River had just appeared like stars, and the soldiers of Yingtian Governor's Yamen rushed to the Qinhuai River to arrest people based on the clues of the relevant reports.
"Humph!"
And Gong Zongxiang, who was also hiding in a brothel on the Qinhuai River, was depressingly listening to the female elders in the brothel telling the legend of the pro-military guards and boasting about how the pro-military guards got rid of violence and made good after they arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. He couldn't help standing up, dropped the teacup, and said:
"The gentry who have been ministers of the Shangshu are all cowards!"
"Don't dare to really raise the flag of righteousness to fight against taxes. Once the imperial court mobilizes the people to form a patrol team, they will all admit it!"
"The imperial court is willing to spend money to mobilize the people, why can't they bear it, and insist on taking this bad breath and eating what they spit out!"
"do not talk!"
At this time, his classmate Qian Yongcheng persuaded Gong Zongxiang, saying: "Try new tea with new fire, let's take advantage of poetry and wine; wait for Jiangling to fall, and then settle the account!"
Qian Yongcheng squeezed the teacup in his hand as he spoke.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until then!"
Gong Zongxiang suddenly stared tremblingly at the yamen servants rushing in, lost his mind.
Then, Gong Zongxiang hurried downstairs, ready to run to the backyard of the brothel to escape.
Seeing this, Qian Yongcheng got up and took a look downstairs. He was shocked and shouted, "Why didn't you inform me!"
With that said, Qian Yongcheng also followed.
"It's them! They are Gong Zongxiang and Qian Yingcheng from the Weeping Temple!"
At this time, the student Ma Deli pointed at the two and shouted.
So, the yamen servants rushed over immediately.
Gong Zongxiang and Qian Yingcheng were frail scholars after all, so they couldn't run fast, and they were soon caught by the government soldiers and pinned to the ground.
Then, the military officer of the standard battalion of the governor's yamen took out an official letter and waved it in front of the two of them: "You two have been dismissed from the ranks and taken into custody as traitors! Look clearly, this is an order issued by the governor himself."
"Don't run!"
"stop!"
boom!
"Tell you to run!"
All of a sudden, people were being arrested everywhere along the Qinhuai River.
Because the gentry basically drink flowers and wine in this area, enjoy life, and hide here.
After all, the flow of people here is more mixed, and it is easier to hide.
Ordinary scholars and small gentry like Gong Zongxiang, who needed to be abandoned by high officials and gentry for the crimes of smearing the pro-military guards and causing riots among the people, were basically arrested in this area.
……
"Basically everything that can be handed over is handed over, the living and the dead are all handed over."
"The forged armor everywhere was also dug up by the people in the government office!"
"The story of rectifying the name of the pro-military guards is also spoken and sung everywhere."
At this time, Gu Bingren spoke to the high-ranking officials and gentry who gathered in the other garden of his private garden, that is, the rich and right, and asked:
"Do you think the imperial court will really abolish the patrol team and end the crackdown in the name of suppressing thieves?"
"hope so!"
Ma Weiming sighed at this moment.
……
"Finish?"
"How could it end, this is just the beginning!"
Governor's office.
In the sunny study, Hai Rui was sneering and saying this to the visiting governor Sun Guangyou and the governor Tian Le.
When these two people came to ask him, the real culprits were caught almost the same now, and all the reported cases of burning, killing and raping by pro-military guards were all found to be faked by others, but it was not when they asked the court to end the crackdown.
"just started?"
After hearing this, Sun Guangyou stood up and looked at Hai Rui: "Butang, what do you mean by that?"
"That's right, I will appear on stage after you sing, the big show has just begun!"
Hai Rui sat in the middle, cast a glance at Sun Guangyou who was on the lower left, and said with a smile, "Do you really think that the New Deal, where officials and gentry pay food and errands together, will eventually become a burden for the common people, and Watching Haoyou transfer the benefits imposed on them by the imperial court to the common people?"
