Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 306
How dare Pan Xiuwen bet on this matter!

Therefore, after hearing Zhang Pu's words, he was terrified when he thought of all the wise and powerful actions of the current emperor since the beginning of last year!

So, he quickly looked at Zhang Pu and asked, "Master Zhang, what should we do now? I... I'm not very knowledgeable, what should I do next?"

Seeing that Pan Xiuwen was intimidated, Zhang Pu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.But at the same time, he also had to secretly rejoice that the emperor suddenly became wise and powerful, far surpassing the previous Wanli emperor, and let them know that it was absolutely impossible for the emperor to fool him, so he softened.

Thinking of this, he suddenly came back to his senses, if the emperor hadn't suddenly become wise and powerful, why would he have come to Jiangnan to do these things by order!

I couldn't help but wonder whether I should be lucky or not, but after all, the situation at hand was critical, Zhang Pu calmed down, and immediately explained to Pan Xiuwen: "Master Pan, please come forward immediately and explain clearly to the mob outside. Explain, what exactly is the emperor's will! I believe that as long as they can confirm that the emperor's will does have a minimum of [-] mu, many people will disperse and will no longer be bewitched by Qian Qianyi!"

Originally, the imperial decree was clearly written, and Pan Xiuwen naturally understood it in his heart, so he immediately agreed, and this time's attitude was not comparable to the last time's perfunctory.

However, Zhang Pu hadn't finished yet, so he struck while the iron was hot, and confessed to Pan Xiuwen: "As soon as this matter is over, you should write a memorial immediately, explaining the details of this incident, especially the ones related to Qian Qianyi. Any concealment, write it down. I will play it to the emperor, with your memorial attached. In this way, your guilt will be small, otherwise, Dongchang will definitely report this matter to you, and you will definitely be unlucky in the future!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Hearing this, Pan Xiuwen immediately agreed repeatedly, thinking about the fate of the Shanxi merchants, the emperor was convicted of treason, even though the weather was still cold, the sweat on his forehead was still breaking out , No matter how you wipe it, you can't finish it.

The two discussed the details for a while, and Pan Xiuwen immediately hurried to find the county magistrate, master book, Dian Shi and others.

And Zhang Pu also breathed a sigh of relief. When he came back to see Jiang Dong, he nodded when he saw his concerned eyes, and said calmly, "The magistrate Pan came forward, but explained to the mob outside. Don't worry, he will definitely do his best this time. It can ease the situation.”

Speaking of this, he showed a trace of cruelty again: "As long as the ordinary people are not bewitched by that old thief Qian Qianyi, and Panzhi County cooperates with us, this time, we must investigate that old thief Qian Qianyi to the bottom!"

Qian Qianyi's highest level is to be the servant of the Ministry of Rites, the third rank. If he is an ordinary official and returns to his hometown, the preferential exemption is six tenths of the time when he was an official, and there are two years of validity after his death.However, Qian Qianyi returned home after being convicted and stripped of his nationality, so he has no official status at all, that is to say, he is actually an ordinary citizen.

Of course, with his status as the leader of Donglin, generally speaking, it is impossible for anyone to treat him as an ordinary person.His influence in the officialdom is definitely not comparable to that of the general feudal officials.It's not certain that one day he will be reinstated as an official, or even go further.

However, now that Qian Qianyi is involved in this matter, Zhang Pu wants to be serious with him. Qian Qianyi occupies almost half of the grain fields in Changshu County, and even the entire Yushan Mountain belongs to his Qian family. Knowing how much they all escaped from the military service, Qian Qianyi would definitely want to die once these matters were settled.

That's exactly the case, he knew that Zhang Pu would definitely do this, even if Qiuyue Pavilion was not insulted, he would definitely make trouble.

In fact, the reason why Qiuyue Pavilion took the lead to teach Zhang Pu a lesson was actually based on this consideration, and he didn't want Zhang Pu and the others to do this matter.

On Pan Xiuwen's side, as Zhang Pu said, he was afraid, and he tried his best, and personally brought several officials from the county government to explain to more and more Changshu people outside.

Needless to say, the county magistrate took the lead in explaining with the county officials, which is more convincing to the common people than Zhang Pu's inspector, or Jiang Dong's Dongchang slaves.

Of course, when things turn around, it's not something you can change your mind instantly.Those people who surrounded outside scattered on the spot, only a small part, and most of them were skeptical.However, the situation has stabilized somewhat.

This situation, of course, will be sent back to Qian Qianyi as soon as possible.After hearing about Pan Xiuwen's behavior, he roughly guessed what was going on, dropped his cup on the spot, and left in a huff, not even listening to Hou Fangyu calling him.

From the original history, Qian Qianyi had a nickname called "Shui Tailiang". But I regretted it and made an excuse, saying that the water was too cold!Then he took the lead, said that his scalp was itchy, cut a money rat tail, opened the city gate and knelt down to welcome Duoduo into the city, and became a obedient citizen of the Qing Dynasty.

From this point of view, he seems to be a gutless person, and he should not be so ruthless as to confront the imperial court and instigate riots among foolish people.

However, in the original history, even if Qian Qianyi became an obedient citizen of the Manchu Qing, it turned out that the Manchu Qing was not as nice to him as he imagined, and the local Manchu officials even invaded his family’s property, so, He secretly began to contact the anti-Qing and Fuming forces, trying to fight against the Qing again.

It can be seen from this that it is not that Qian Qianyi has no guts, but that he did not touch his life. Once he touches his life, he will also risk his life.

It is impossible for him not to know the secret anti-Qing and restoring Ming, once Man Qing finds out, what will happen, but he still did it.If he really had such a backbone, it wouldn't be because the water was too cold and his scalp was itchy at the beginning.

In fact, most of the officials and gentry in Jiangnan at that time had the same virtues as Qian Qianyi.When he was in Daming, he didn't know how to be blessed when he was in the midst of blessings, and he knew how to lie on the sick body of Daming and suck blood all day long.But in the future, when they find out that the new master is far from being as good as Daming, they will regret it again.

Besides, on the Changshu County Yamen's side, as the sky gradually darkened, and the county magistrate Pan Xiuwen spoke dryly, the effect was more or less effective, and more and more people left.

But, suddenly, someone shouted, saying that someone who was locked in the prison was beaten to death by Dongchang Fanzi!
The prestige of the East Factory has had a counterproductive effect at this time.

For such words, many people, especially those with relatives locked in the prison, immediately believed it.So, the emotion suddenly became agitated.

Then, whoever it was, threw stones at Pan Xiuwen and the others. When the yamen guards at the gate saw them, they immediately alerted the guards. As a result, someone booed in the crowd again, saying that the officials were going to arrest people again.

While booing, many stones were thrown in the past.

Suddenly, the scene became chaotic.The situation that had calmed down somewhat, became worse than before in the blink of an eye.

A group of people, obviously dressed better than ordinary people, broke out suddenly and attacked the gate of the yamen first.

The yamen servants tried to threaten them at first, but these people were very decisive. They had already prepared sticks in their hands, and beat anyone they saw. After a few rounds, they couldn't resist, and quickly dragged Pan Xiuwen and others into the yamen.

Under the dark night, they couldn't see their faces clearly, but Pan Xiuwen could roughly guess that these people must be the servants of the Qian family.He didn't expect that once he stood on the opposite side of Qian Qianyi, he would even dare to attack the Yamen.Immediately, the scene of the riot in Suzhou immediately appeared in his mind.

Knowing that the situation was wrong, he was also frightened, and fled to Zhang Pu's place. Before he arrived, he yelled loudly, telling Zhang Pu to hide quickly.

In fact, Zhang Pu and others had already heard the movement, and they were already prepared, so they immediately united with the few yamen servants in the yamen, and the arresters sent by the Suzhou government, and hurriedly guarded the back yamen.

At this time, the Qianya side was already full of people rushing in.Some people rushed to the prison of the county government office, while others smashed everything they saw, and even a crowd swarmed towards the back government office.

At this time, the night was getting darker, there were so many people in the dark, and the situation was in chaos.

In the panic, suddenly, I heard someone outside shouting in panic: "I am the county magistrate, please don't mess around, otherwise... ah"

There was a scream, and Pan Xiuwen, who was hiding in the back office, immediately recognized that it was the scream of the county magistrate.It wasn't until this moment that he realized that when he fled back just now, several people escaped.The county magistrate didn't have time to escape back to Hou Ya, it seemed that he was out of luck.

Sure enough, with a scream, the outside immediately became quiet. Obviously, the rioting crowd seemed to be frightened.However, soon someone shouted loudly again, stirring up the chaos again.

In fact, the most important thing is that there is a group of people leading the riots.

These people not only occupied the front yamen, but started attacking the back yamen, shouting there, saying that several people died in the prison of the county yamen, and they wanted Zhang Pu, the dog official, to pay for his life!
"Bah bah bah" knocking on the door, sounded from time to time.

Outside the courtyard wall, stones and the like were thrown in through the wall.Later, there were even fire seeds, and some people tried to climb over the wall to get in.

Many yamen servants had never seen such a scene, and their faces were pale with fright, a little at a loss.Usually, they can only rely on this layer of skin on their bodies, but now that this layer of skin is no longer effective, they have lost their greatest support.Even the county magistrate seems to have been beaten to death by them, so will those people outside let them go?
The south is so peaceful, it's rare to see a scene like this. The yamen servants were frightened, and a loophole suddenly appeared in the defense. Many people appeared on the courtyard wall, and the door of the courtyard was almost knocked open.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Dong became anxious.He and Dongchang Fanyao are both from the north.There are many wars in the north, and they have experienced more than these government servants in the south.

Therefore, Jiang Dong immediately ordered to direct his subordinates and those yamen servants to adjust the defense and not stay behind.

As a result, those mobs who tried to attack also began to be injured, and those who dared to stand on the courtyard wall were greeted by bows and arrows.As a result, the scene suddenly became quiet again, letting the rioters outside know that they might end up in the same way.

Under normal circumstances, even if ordinary people lose control of their emotions, once they bleed and die, someone will definitely wake up.As long as you are not a desperado, you will definitely cherish your own life.

But at this time, the outside was only quiet for a while, and then they started shouting and killing again, and the impact was even more violent.

Pan Xiuwen wailed, and hurriedly shouted to hold back.His family is in Houya, and there is no way to retreat.Judging from this posture, if these mobs rushed in, they would definitely not let him go.

"The leader outside must be Qian Qianyi's family members." He hurriedly said to Zhang Pu, "There are many family members in Qian's family, at least five hundred people, and they will take the lead. I'm afraid we can't keep our back office. What should I do?"

Although Zhang Pu was also frightened, he knew what the pattern of the riot was, so he immediately ordered Pan Xiuwen: "Send someone to deliver the letter immediately, get out, or kill it, and report to the surrounding government that officials are killed and rebelled here, so send troops immediately." Come here, otherwise the emperor will definitely question them!"

"Also, the people in the back office must gather together. If this place can't be defended, I think that building is fine, and everyone retreats to that building. We must persist. I won't believe it. If such a thing happens, the surrounding area will still No official is worried about his black gauze hat!"

Although Zhang Pu said this, he was actually not sure, because he knew that if something happened here, even if troops were sent around, as long as the movement was slow, he didn't know what would happen here.

However, what he said is that there is no other way, and the only way is to do this.

Thousands of people were beating, smashing, looting and burning on the county government side, and the situation has become chaotic.

Even if no one reported it, Qian Qianyi, who was watching all this secretly from a distance, knew how the situation was going.

Hou Fangyu looked at the flames over there. To be honest, he was a little scared, but more of it was the excitement after the secretion of hormones. The scene in Suzhou was now repeated in Changshu County.At the beginning, Zhang Pu became famous in one fell swoop by relying on "The Tombstone of Five People".Then you have to think about it yourself, and write him a peerless article!

On Qian Qianyi's side, when he heard that someone came to report, he took out a lot of letters and told his servants to send them out immediately.

Hou Fangyu looked at it, and knew that it was Qian Qianyi who gave him the old protégés in the officialdom, and a villain would file a complaint first and let those people speak for him.

For this, he still admires it very much. At the local level, he coerced other powerful families to become a family member together, and even the Zhang family, which had a grudge against the Qian family before, became a member under his coercion; this is tantamount to All the forces in Changshu County have been tied together; now they have used their connections in the officialdom, and by the way, the culprit who has already prepared to make trouble tonight, this time, Zhang Pu will definitely be unlucky!
The night was getting deeper, but Changshu County had never been like it is today. Shouts and flames resounded throughout the county.It's like the city in the north that was hit by a war.
