Chapter 408: Rivers of Blood

Chen Daowen went in a hurry.

Zhang Anshi summoned Chen Li and the others again, and instructed, “The Brocade Guards should not act rashly, but we must guard against small-minded people who would take advantage of the opportunity to take the people captive. There is also the Eastern Palace and the Forbidden City, all of which are watched over for me, so that nothing can go wrong.”

Chen Li hesitated for a moment and asked, “Your Highness, which people are you talking about capturing the people …… This people?”

Zhang Anshi glared at him with a gaze in his eyes that looked like he was explicitly scolding him for his stupidity, and said through gritted teeth, “Of course it’s the real people.”

“Oh, oh, I understand.” Chen Li was busy saluting in response.

Zhang Anshi also commanded, “In addition to …… all the city gates and ferries, all give me an eye on the dead, some places, to focus on the search.”

Saying that, Zhang Anshi gave Chen Li a meaningful look.

Chen Li said solemnly, “Understood.”

“Well.” Zhang Anshi then became calm and relaxed again, said, “Later on, give me to prepare the car and horse, send more guards, I look at …… the time is not early, should enter the palace to go to the audience.”

Chen Li did not forget to be concerned, “Your Highness …… can be careful.”

“Don’t worry.” Zhang Anshi smiled, but then he put on a stern face and sighed, “It’s time to settle a score.”

With that, he waved his hand, and Chen Li understood and retreated out.

…………

At this time in the capital, a place in the mansion, have the door closed.

One by one, the brocade guards began to appear, and afterward, there was a brocade guard lieutenant with a sword, appearing in front of Liu Zhan’s mansion.

As soon as this brocade guard appeared, he went to knock on the door.

“Open the door, open the door.”

The concierge quietly showed the door a crack, and saw that outside was a fellow in a fish suit, who said warily, “What …… what is the matter ……”

The lieutenant said, “I’ve been ordered to protect Maester Liu’s family, there’s no problem inside, is there anyone rushing in, is anyone injured?”

This concierge shook his head and said, “No …… no yet. But the outside are all chaotic people, madam and young masters, very worried …… they …… they ……”

This lieutenant immediately said, “Don’t worry, His Highness the King of Wuhu County has specially explained, saying that although there is some chaos in the city right now, but Bachelor Zhou is a pillar of the dynasty, so no matter what, he must be well protected, I’ll just escort him outside, don’t panic.”

The concierge nodded and closed the door, then hurried into the inner house to inform him.

Liu Zhan’s eldest son, Liu Xin, heard that he came to the brocade guards, slightly at ease, and cursed under his breath, “These damned chaotic people, really bold, they dare to rebel …….”

After cursing angrily, he ordered people to say, “Tell them that they don’t need to move the gold and silver in the treasury, it’s safer to be at home now. Outside there are jinyiwei guards, should not be a problem, these jinyiwei’s lapdogs, this skill is still there.”

Turning to the concierge, he asked, “How many men and horses have come from the brocade guards ……”

The concierge said, “Looks like one.”

“One …… one ……” Liu Xin frowned and muttered a reading.

He stood still, frozen.

Just then, but there was already a wave of people coming towards the mansion.

Among the crowds, everyone was furious, and when they reached the front of Liu’s house, they saw that there was also a notice posted in front of the door, with a stern warning not to enter by mistake, a notice from the Brocade Guards.

The crowd became furious, and someone shouted, “This is that Liu Zhan’s mansion, and he is the one who doesn’t give us a chance to live.”

At these words, the crowd instantly exploded and swarmed to the door.

That stood in front of the door of the brocade captain, has been a smoke, along the roots of the wall will run out of dozens of feet, a moment of work, disappeared in the corner of the street.

Knock Knock ……

The gate knocked loudly.

No one opened the door.

There are those who are handy and climb over the walls.

More people slammed the gate open.

And then, untold numbers of people poured in.

In the midst of monstrous anger, all the places where this Liu House passed through were destroyed.

At the sight of the servants in the mansion, they had long since clutched their heads in fear and avoided them.

On the contrary, that Liu Xin is bold, with two brothers and a few loyal servants rushed forward, viciously shouted: “This is the Hanlin Minister Bachelor’s mansion, you and other unruly people, so bold, not afraid of death?”

It’s good that he didn’t say that and opened his mouth.

Among the crowd, but someone directly swung an iron pick, an iron pick down, Liu Xin uh ah, then fell into a pool of blood.

Liu Xin howled like a pig being killed.

The remaining loyal servants immediately scattered in birds and beasts.

Only two of his brothers, who were also about to leave, were stopped in time.

Among the crowd, the leader shouted, “Left and right are dead, you surnamed Liu want us to die, we kill you one is enough, kill two is not a loss.”

Liu Xin thigh root was that pickaxe directly nailed into the blood, the mouth wailed: “My father …… my father …… wait for my father to come …… ”

But before the words were out of their mouths, a crowd of furious people surged forward, and the three brothers continued to cry out in misery.

A few moments later, someone knelt down, he looked at the three brothers of the Liu family lying on the ground in the distance, not moving at all, and had long been scared to the point that his face was the color of a pig’s liver.

This person constantly kowtowed and begged for mercy: “Spare your life, spare your life, good men spare your life …… The small one is just a steward of the Liu family, just a district steward …… Good men if you want to plunder the wealth, this Liu family … …There is silver, there is a lot of silver …… are in the government treasury, although take it, good men spare your life ah!”

Don’t look at the crowd here, but it’s obviously very organized, and that’s where the farmers and the craftsmen have a difference.

The farmers were mostly just self-sufficient, living on their own. The craftsmen and laborers, on the other hand, because of the need to participate collectively in production and the need for an effective division of labor, although they were outraged, they were well-organized, with someone in charge of keeping the craftsmen and laborers in order and making sure that no innocents were harmed. Someone was responsible for guidance and clarity of purpose. Someone is responsible for setting the mood, someone is responsible for opening the way.

At this moment, many people subconsciously looked at one person.

This man was evidently a bookkeeper in the workshop, and although he was also excitedly among the crowd, he kept a cool eye on the situation, and among the craftsmen and laborers he had considerable authority.

At that moment, he said: “Call a few people, go to open the treasury, tell everyone, not to loot, Li San, Wang Ke you two with a few brothers, responsible for guarding this place, I and Wu Xiu Cai go to inventory inventory.

When the crowd heard that, they immediately said yes.

They are people with families and businesses, not the kind of displaced people who have nothing.

Just a short time ago, they had a good salary, a roof over their heads, a mother-in-law, and children in school.

Moreover, before coming, a variety of pamphlets, has long been taught what to do and not to do, and there are people who are specifically responsible for maintaining order, of course, also know that trouble is trouble, looting is looting.

So at that moment, the crowd dispersed, and another group, rushed to the Treasury.

This bookkeeper, along with another man known as Wu Xiu Cai, began to enter the storehouse to begin the inventory.

Just being inside was a shock.

Soon, they searched for the ledger, and looking down at the ledger, the bookkeeper’s eyes only swept, his lips hooked up a trace of sarcasm, saying, “Interesting …… really interesting …… ”

On the side, Wu Xiucai couldn’t help but curiously come up, “How ……”

“Look at these accounts.”

Wu Xiucai is also an insider, scanning a glance, suddenly knew the bottom line.

When his face was taut, he said, “I will be responsible for transcribing a copy and sending it to the Brocade Guards, and you will continue to take inventory here.”

“Good.” The bookkeeper answered, but then remembered something, busy saying, “Right, you directly throw the book to the nearest Jinyiwei thousand households in front of the door, then go.”

Wu Xiucai said, “It is natural to know.”

These two people, is also a scholar, just from a poor background, and the imperial examination is too voluminous, although there is a merit, but it is difficult to maintain a livelihood, at first it is a last resort in the Qixia to make a living.

Though the Taiping Province was denounced by the readers as a place where the culture was corrupt, in reality, knowledge was valued here.

The main reason is that there are too many workshops and merchants, and they need a lot of people who can write and calculate and are good at management. These two down-and-out scholars, once they arrived at the Taiping Mansion, immediately sought a job, and soon became important people in the workshop, receiving higher salaries, and their daily work is also quite free, and everyone respects them.

At this time, if you teach them to lose their jobs, it is absolutely not, although their salaries are high, but has long been in the Qixia property, the child is also studying, the woman’s daily expenses are not small. This up and down, can all point to them.

Therefore, their own proprietor and them together, they are instead the most active people, and at the same time privately enter into a plan, arrange for manpower, secretly organize, incitement of craftsmen and laborers, which before and after, are not without their figure.

In fact, in the view of many people, what has broken out today is a conflict between the readers and the gentry and the merchants and artisans; rather, it is a showdown between the readers and the readers.

The latter these readers, because not wearing the traditional spandex Confucian shirt, mouth is no longer the literary literary, after all, in the merchant houses and workshops under the cultivation, no longer and once upon a time in general, and only deal with the readers, so the spoken language as well as behavior and demeanor have undergone a lot of changes.

But in reality, the books they have read are quite a lot, and they may not be carrying no credit on them.

These people are meticulous, coupled with experience in organizing works and labor, more familiar with various allusions, proficient in the law, and therefore do things in a very orderly manner, do things, often consider all aspects.

Soon, Wu Xiu Cai will take a book, out of the Liu residence, the house is still a mess, a breath out of the long street, then see this street, the crowd is surging, the street, all are people.

Not only is the Qixia side of the fierce, the capital side, the two years of commercial prosperity, this time also suffered the same wave, not only the craftsmen and laborers, that is, the ordinary shopkeepers, there are a lot of shopkeepers hired, this time also have to take action.

Almost all the stores, collectively, were closed, and many of the mansions in the capital were surrounded.

The Yingtianfu’s officers, on the other hand, have all disappeared without a trace, not a single one of the brocade guards has been found, and as for the officials and soldiers, there doesn’t seem to be a trace of them either.

Under this clamor, Wu Xiu Cai was steady on his feet, although there were waves of people passing towards him, but once the people saw that the clothes Wu Xiu Cai was wearing were the clothes of the Qixia Dalong Iron and Steel Workshop, no one made things difficult for him, and there were even people who gave him the right to get out of the way.

…………

In a deep house ……

At that moment, someone came hurrying with panic.

“It shall not be, it shall not be, have you learned the news? There are unruly people rebelling all around ……”

The panicked voice broke the silence of the place.

It’s still the same place as before.

Only this time, not many people came, after all, this was the time of the day, and many people were still on duty in the government offices.

Instead, some people took their leave and rushed over.

The people have turned toward the man surnamed Wu, “This must be …… must be ……”

This person surnamed Wu frowned, pressed his hand and said: ”Well, there is no need to panic, there is no need to panic. This matter is too strange, but …… someone dares to act so presumptuously, I don’t believe, this court will not bother him! They Zhu family’s Jiangshan …… still want it?”

The crowd is still in shock.

Someone with a worried look, sighed: “I just came from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War Secretary Jin Zhong, but only the following, so that the capital city guards to strengthen the prevention, there is no intention to calm the chaos.”

“It seems that we should be waiting for His Majesty’s decree, and without His Majesty’s decree, who would dare to move lightly now ……”

The crowd whispered and whispered.

But at that moment, suddenly the outside world became noisy.

Someone came in in a panic, saying, “Master, master, it’s terrible, it’s terrible, someone is killing them, killing them …….”

When these words came out, the crowd changed color.

No one expected that someone would dare to kill here.

So the crowd got up and panicked, trying to hide.

But the visitor said, “This front and back, are all people …… have no place to go.”

Not for a moment.

Then I saw the crowds of people boarding the room.

A man shouted at them, “You unruly people, do you know who the master of this room is?”

“It is you who are being sought! Don’t be polite, that surnamed Zhou before he was killed, had explained that it was the master of this house explained that he made a big discussion, attacking the new government. Into your mother, we rely on our strength to eat a meal, you, the pigs and dogs worse than things, weekdays do not work, food to the mouth, clothes to the hand not to mention, but also think we take blood and sweat for money to live in the way of your eyes? If you want to wear clothes and eat, should we starve and freeze? Fight!”

All of a sudden, the anger was instantly ignited.

The person with the surname of Wu, was never expected, strategizing, overturning the clouds of their own, will be a group of unruly people end of their own home.

Once upon a time, these people, in front of him, he didn’t even bother to look at them, even if they were his own slaves, they were unknown how much higher than these pariahs, but now, there were already people rushing forward and carrying him by the hand.

And that’s when he realized that he was so powerless.

To know, in the past, he just a look, these unruly people will be bowed down, but now, he realized that these people are extremely powerful, just a pull on his lapel, he will be like a kite with broken strings, followed by swaying, and after that, bushels of big slaps will slap on his face.

This palm was full of calluses and roughness, and when it came down, it was like a knife scraping at the face of the person surnamed Wu.

“Aaah ……,” the man surnamed Wu wailed.

However, this wail of his did not attract attention. Because by his side, there were several spandex and Confucian shirts people who had already let out pig-killing howls.

“The world is dying, the world is dying ……” someone howled on one side and let out a desperate roar on the other.

This heart-rending sound was quickly cut short by the next cry of anguish.

…………

“Your Majesty ……”

Yee Lostha hurriedly entered the Mandarin’s building.

Yisroel Ha has been here four times.

Each time, more urgent things came to play at one time than another.

The situation is very urgent and the situation is like a fire.

But every time he came, Zhu Di had a calm face and only pressed his hand and said, “I want to read a book, don’t come to disturb.”

“But ……”

Zhu Di’s gaze, shifted from the book, and then landed on Yiluoha’s anxious face.

Zhu Di this gaze, light, but also lost Ha was startled, and immediately retreated out again.

And this time, it was the fourth time that Yee Lostha came in, “Your Majesty ……”

Zhu finally put down the book in his hand.

On the book’s dust jacket, the word “Spring and Autumn” was written.

Zhu Di said with a few points of boredom: “You ah, really is not save, this world everything can not leave me? I just want to be clean for a moment, read a book and calm my mind. Speak up, what is it?”

Yizhuoha snapped, directly worshipped, lowered his head, and first said, “Ten thousand deaths of the slave girl.”

Subsequently, also lost ha only said: “outside someone rebellion, east factory side, perceived rebellion people as many as hair, all around …… all around ……”

“Uh-huh.” Zhu Di still calmly looks, only nodded his head and said, “Do not choose a good time to do chaos, this is almost the New Year, defeat.”

Also Lost Ha: “……”

Yilostha felt like he was running out of words for a moment.

Instead, Zhu Di glanced at Yiluoha and then added, “What else?”

Also lost ha had to busy: “And …… also …… ministries of the ministry hall, and the nine ministers, have been to the Wen Yuan Pavilion, together with the Wen Yuan Pavilion of the university professors, hope to be able to see his majesty.”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, “What business do they have?”

“This ……” also lost Ha Road: “should be because of the rebellion, Hu Gong said, civil unrest has been born, the chaos of the people tens of thousands of …… If the court is not suppressed, it will be To blood flow into the river ……”

“Has the blood flowed?” Zhu continued to inquire.

Yizhuoha wrinkled a face and said, “This …… this …… slave girl …… slave girl …… slave girl this side received a report from the East Chamber’s report, but quite a lot of people were affected by the wave. Dead is dead quite a few people ……”

Zhu Di said, “Quite a few? Then this is only a few ah, also called blood flow into the river? Hu Guang this guy, he is reading stupid, have not seen the real blood flow into the river. When …… I remember the case of Hu Weiyong, that is the real blood flow into the river! Oh, there is the Yasukuni, the Hutuo River and the Battle of Beiping, only called the blood flow into a river! At that time, it is really a mountain of corpses, the nearby river, all dyed red.”

Zhu Di said, shook his head and said with emotion, “These are only a few years past ah, there are already people who have forgotten. It seems that this world has been carrying on for a long time, and there are already people who have even forgotten how the world of my Daming, as well as my kingdom, came to be.”

Yizhuoha looked up at Zhu Di, who was anxious to hear Zhu Di say these words, but instead, his eyes became meaningful.

At this moment, he actually smiled and said, “Yes, Your Majesty’s reprimand is correct, Duke Hu’s nature is like this, and he loves to exaggerate the most.”
