Chapter 1999: Justified Defense
In the chief secretary's yamen, Chang Yu and Qian Hui have been waiting.
When he saw Fang Xing coming in, Chang Yu went up to meet him and asked, "Xinghebo, can you hold it down?"
Fang Xing nodded, sat down and drank a cup of tea first, and then talked about the situation at that time.
"crazy!"
Qian Hui was furious, "This is His Majesty's will, the court's intention. That man's suicide has nothing to do with the common people. Are those people crazy?"
Fang Xing rubbed the sore corners of his eyes, and said, "The man who committed suicide was his wife and the servant who had an affair. The man cursed and scolded the world after drinking. His wife and servant thought it was an opportunity, so they suffocated to death." He, and then pretended to hang himself..."
Chang Yu shook his head helplessly and sighed, "This is... self-inflicted!"
"Xing Hebo, what should we do with those people?"
"Those troublemakers are currently locked up in the camp, and they will report to the capital immediately, waiting for news from the court."
Chang Yu tentatively asked: "Those businessmen..."
Qian Hui also stared at Fang Xing.
Fang Xing yawned and said, "Justifiable defense."
The two pairs of eyes immediately widened, I couldn't believe Fang Xing would say such a thing.
"Xing Hebo..."
Chang Yu blinked and said, "If you only deal with those scholars, the outside world will say it's unfair! If it spreads to the capital, it will cause another disturbance."
Qian Hui also felt that something was wrong, and said: "Xing Hebo, those scholars were beaten badly enough, at least we have to deal with some people to quell the material discussions outside..."
"Benber said, it's a defense in times of crisis."
Fang Xing said coldly: "Their shops are being smashed and burned. They are being chased and beaten, their heads are bleeding...Are we going to ask them to stop resisting and let those dregs wreak havoc?"
Chang Yu and Qian Hui were speechless, and even smiled wryly.
In their view, businessmen are just tools, and tools can naturally be used.
Take down a group of businessmen directly, and what happened tonight will make the scholars mad, so why not do it?
"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and now scholars are afraid that they will stand on the opposite side of Ming Dynasty for the time being. As for farmers, we must continue to implement benevolent policies in the future, and we must continue to reduce the burden on farmers. This is to hide wealth from the people!"
What?
Do you want to stand on the opposite side of Daming?
Well, we admit that scholars will probably complain for a while, but they stand on the opposite side... Isn't this a bit exaggerated?
"You only see a small number of people, only yourself."
Fang Xing simply explained: "We have moved their granaries, and their greed is probably the most bottomless among the four peoples, so we have to lift up farmers, merchants, craftsmen, and even military households, lift up these people Suppress them, at least suppress them, and don't let the situation get out of control."
"Businessmen have to find gentry as backers, otherwise their business will be embezzled and suppressed. Is this normal? It's not normal, but they dare not resist. Tonight they resisted. This is what I want."
Fang Xing didn't shy away from his thoughts, he said: "So the merchants are defending tonight, legitimate defense, not guilty, and Ben will go to comfort him at dawn."
There was a silence.
"Go and rest."
The night was dark and gradually getting colder.
Fang Xing just wrapped himself in a big cloak and took a nap. When it was light, he washed with well water, and then took the people to the place where he was last night.
...
The long street was devastated, and some people were rummaging for valuables in the burned-out shops on the right, and shouting and cursing could be heard from time to time.
Seeing Fang Xing bringing people over, the onlookers silently dispersed.
"Stop it all."
Fang Xing waved his hands, and when the crowd gathered and looked at him nervously, he said sadly: "What happened last night made people resentful, but luckily no one was killed."
Everyone didn't know his purpose, so they continued to remain silent.
"The loss is heavy!"
Fang Xing pointed to the ruins next to him and said, "This is an innocent disaster."
Yes!
That's right!
The sharpness of the businessman made everyone a little happy.
Fang Xing noticed these little joys, so he gave a big joy.
"Compensation! They must compensate!"
Fang Xing was impassioned and filled with righteous indignation: "Before coming, His Majesty told you to be safe and not to stir up trouble, lest the people suffer losses..."
The merchants immediately choked up their voices, but the cry of long live His Majesty was weak.
Fang Xing's anger gradually subsided, and the shouts of long live His Majesty immediately resounded through the long street, and many people rushed over after hearing the sound.
Fang Xing nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "Remember Your Majesty's kindness, I will ask someone to communicate with you later, how much you lost and how much you will be compensated."
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
Amidst the shouts, Fang Xing cupped his hands, and led others out of the crowd.
The allegiance of a businessman is the least valued, and it changes day and night, like grass on the wall.
However, Fang Xing needed a form to nail down the abolition of preferential treatment for gentry step by step.
The shouts behind him faded away, Shen Shitou hurried over, and said in a low voice: "Deng Fa and He Shan were arrested, Yang Yan wanted to leave the city in the morning, but the city gate was very strict, so he retreated."
"He went to beg that family last night, but was kicked out. Later, he went to Huafang, and for some reason he moved his tongue to ask his old friend for mercy..."
"Shameless!"
Yu Qian felt that such people were really a shame to men!
"Go and see the scenery of Daming Lake."
A group of people walked in the car, and when they arrived at Daming Lake, Fang Xing, who hadn't eaten breakfast, was hungry, so he asked someone to get a bowl of noodles, and squatted not far from the painting boat to eat.
Eating noodles alone, surrounded by people standing around, this weird scene made passers-by avoid.
"If you can build a yard by the lake, go fishing and take a walk every day, it will be refreshing to think about it!"
Fang Xing put down the bowl, stood up and looked at a head protruding from the boat, it was still a woman.
"Sir, it's a sparrow."
Fang Xing was a little bit disdainful that Yang Yan still refused to stand out.
...
"Xiuyu, there are people outside, many of them are carrying knives."
Yang Yan sat on the edge of the bed with a bundle next to him, and the letter was thrown on the ground, leaving footprints.
He raised his head in a daze, didn't take another look at Que Tong, got up, and went out quietly.
Qu Tong watched sadly as he sneaked close to the window, glanced out quickly, then sat down on the deck, trembling all over.
"Yang Yan, you are the main culprit, even if you go to heaven or earth, don't even try to escape!"
With a shout from outside, Yang Yan's body trembled, he slowly raised his head, and looked at Queut pleadingly.
Qu Tong felt a pain in her heart, she lifted her skirt, walked over lightly, and squatted down.
"Xiuyu, it's Xing Hebo, he's here."
Yang Yan smiled wryly: "Yes! He won't let me go away."
Quu Tong looked at him and said seriously: "Xiuyu, I will follow you, no matter where you are exiled, I will follow you."
Yang Yan stretched out his hand to touch her smooth face, and said emotionally, "Okay."
Que Tong felt relieved, got up and walked to the window, and said, "Xiuyu, don't worry, I have a lot of savings, and when the time comes, no matter if we go to Cochin or Myanmar, we will not be short of money, and then we will have a good time over there." Let's live on, and wait until we have a child...Xiuyu!"
Queus turned around full of longing, tears immediately filled his eyes.
Yang Yan was taking out an oil-paper bag from his bag and stuffing it into his arms. He raised his head and said affectionately, "Quu Tong, help me hold them back. When I settle down, I will definitely come to you."
After speaking, he got up and was about to go down the stairs, without even thinking about saying goodbye to Queus.
Que Tong hurried over to hug him, and said sadly: "Xiuyu, that's Bo Xinghe, that's a famous general, you can't escape. Listen to me, take the initiative to go out, exile is exile, I will accompany you... ah! "
Queuce let go of her hand, and she looked at her left arm, where blood gradually gushed out, and then began to gushes...
She raised her head, looked at Yang Yan with a pale face, her lips were trembling, and asked, "Xiuyu, why..."
Holding a short knife, Yang Yan said viciously: "You bitch, you bitch with thousands of riders, do you really think that I will take a fancy to you?"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went down the stairs, his footsteps were in a hurry, without any hesitation.
"Xiuyu..."
Hearing this shout, Yang Yan couldn't help feeling very angry. Seeing the surprised eyes of the boatman, he ran to the side of the boat without hesitation, and turned around and threatened: "Don't say it!"
The boatman nodded subconsciously, and then he saw Queuce chasing after him, clutching his left arm.
