Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone
Chapter 284 The clouds clear and the sun appears, Elvis Presley arrives
In the capital, a dark cloud suddenly blocked the spring day.
It seemed as if everything had been planned for a long time. In fact, it was not only Zhou's son-in-law who was inspired, but several of his descendants had also taken action.
This time the emperor's inspection of the store may not only check the kiln silver, but also the account books in their store. In fact, they still have to touch their cheese.
Although in the eyes of the emperor and important ministers, it is very reasonable to rectify loan sharking now. After all, it can effectively prevent people like Yu Ming from having no other way out and looking for a living.
It's just that in the eyes of some powerful people, the life and death of the people is actually not important at all, and they will not allow their own interests to be harmed in the slightest.
Not to mention that his kiln silver was in danger, and the pile of IOUs in the store was an invisible treasure, so he couldn't afford to lose it.
Now the emperor has left the capital for the Spring Festival, and the personnel responsible for sealing the shops are mainly personnel from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Shuntian Prefecture Government Office, which undoubtedly gives them a "god-sent opportunity."
"You take out the kiln silver and the IOU!"
"Whoever dares to stop you will be beaten hard by me!"
"The little Shuntian government office is nothing, let me beat you!"
…
This group of second-generation ancestors did not take the small Shuntian government seriously at all, but they wanted to get back their own assets, so they led a group of servants to raid their stores.
"Jin Yiwei is on an errand, please give way to everyone!"
Jinyiwei commanded Qian Chengzong to lead a group of Jinyiwei to his store, and spoke arrogantly to the officers of the Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who were strictly guarding here.
The group that has the deepest entanglement with Jinyiwei is undoubtedly the Xunqi, and Qian Chengzong is the leader among them.
The Qian family is the natal family of Empress Qian of Xiaozhuang, Yingzong. Because Empress Qian has no descendants, the Qian family is destined not to be favored by the emperor like the Zhou family.
Because the Qian family was first expelled, and brothers Qian Qin and Qian Zhong died in the battle of Tumubao at the same time, the Qian family only had posthumous descendants from the collateral line.
Although Qian Xiong, the posthumous son, assumed the imperial guard position during the Yingzong period, the later Xianzong naturally favored the biological mother's side, so the Qian family did not receive a title.
After Qian Xiong passed away, the hereditary position of Jinyiwei fell to his son Qian Chengzong, and Qian Chengzong became the current head of the Qian family.
Since he knew that he would not have a good future, he focused on making money, and now he is relying on his identity as Jinyiwei Qianshi to get back his property.
Although there were over a hundred shops with too many people, it seemed that these people had made an appointment, and several shops were seized by force at the same time.
After Wang Yu learned the news, he led several of his subordinates to a certain place in the west of the city. When he saw that the culprit was the prince-in-law Zhou Jing, he pointed at him and shouted loudly: "This is a place that the emperor ordered to be sealed off. How dare you!"
"Go in and take out the kiln silver and the IOU. Let's see who dares to stand in my way!" Zhou Jing ordered Wang Yu arrogantly, not taking Wang Yu seriously at all.
The team guarding here had been beaten away by a group of people led by Zhou Jing. Now that they saw Wang Yu coming, they ran back cautiously.
When Wang Yu saw that they had torn the seal of the store, he immediately asked with a stern face: "Prince-in-law, are you planning to rebel?"
"This prince-in-law is just taking back his own things. If you are wise, please don't meddle in other people's business!" Zhou Jing actually did not want to have a head-on breakthrough with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he warned.
He had a reputation for being studious since he was a child. He had been in charge of the clan during the Yingzong period and had always been known as an honest official. If there were no accidents, he must be the most virtuous prince consort in the Ming Dynasty.
But now Zhu Youtang suddenly closed down his shop, and also wanted to check the account books of his shop. This move was simply heart-wrenching.
Even though he knew that breaking into the store and taking away the kiln silver and account books would offend the current emperor, he had to do it for the sake of his own reputation and property.
In fact, he had already thought about the consequences. When the emperor returned from the Spring Festival, he would take the initiative to admit his mistake. With his identity and reputation, the emperor would not dare to embarrass himself too much.
Wang Yu naturally couldn't give in, so he just waved his hand and said: "Prince-in-law, this is a humble duty. Since you have violated the emperor's order, then don't blame me for being rude to Qianhu! Someone, please arrest these traitors." Take it!”
After these years of training, he has understood the truth that the brave will win when faced with a narrow road.
When rectifying the salt administration, if it hadn't been for my grandfather's drastic measures, I'm afraid the current salt administration officials would still be wrangling, and the current situation would not have happened.
Although he was now facing a dignified prince-in-law, he had no reason to back down, either publicly or privately, and could only go forward and capture the man.
"kill!"
Although Hu Jun was afraid of the superior prince-in-law in front of him, he still firmly followed Wang Yu in the fight.
With an order, the two sides fought together.
Although there were only a few people in the search office, all of them came from the military, and there were two veterans who had just retired from the battlefield in Annan, so they dared to use the knife to deal with them ruthlessly.
On the contrary, although the Prince Consort has the upper hand in numbers, this large group of people usually bullies the people and collects loan sharks. Where have they ever encountered such unkind and cruel treatment?
That's why, in this battle, Wang Yu's side had the upper hand.
"Dad, these guys are crazy, what should we do now?" Zhou Xian asked anxiously when he saw that his side didn't have the upper hand at all.
Zhou Jing originally thought that these people would be afraid of him or betray his reputation as a prince-in-law, but he never expected to encounter a few stupid young men.
Fortunately, this time he also prepared for the worst and waved his hand gently.
boom!
Suddenly, a gunshot sounded.
puff!
A stream of blood splashed high, and a blood hole immediately appeared in the body.
When Wang Yu heard the sound of the gun, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart. When he reached out and touched it, he found that he was not injured, but he was stunned the next moment.
Hu Jun was driving the group away with a knife when he suddenly found someone firing a black gun at Wang Yu, so he drove his horse in front of Wang Yu and shouldered the lead bullet.
"If you are still ignorant, you will all die here!" Zhou Jing warned with an angry look on his face when he saw his son hitting someone.
When Wang Yu saw Hu Jun being injured and falling off his horse, he immediately turned over and dismounted with his eyes cracked.
Although he knew that the powerful people in the capital were lawless, he never expected that the other party would launch such a despicable sneak attack, nor did he expect that his brother would save him.
"Tie him up!" Zhou Jing waved his hand when he saw that he was under control of the situation.
Wang Yu tried to resist, but he was attacked from behind and fell to the ground with a knife in his hand.
"Quick, hurry in and take your things away. Don't stay here for long!" Zhou Jing realized that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not as cowardly as he thought, and immediately ordered.
The commotion here was not small, especially the use of firecrackers, and another team appeared at the intersection here.
The leader of the old man was wearing a third-grade official uniform, and his face looked calm and intimidating. He was like a sharp sword, but he was coming straight towards this side.
"Kill the rebels!"
Wang Yue saw Wang Yu and Hu Jun from a distance, and gave orders angrily.
Lu Song had been transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate's Search Department as Chief Qianhu. Now that he saw someone here attacking their people, he also rushed forward.
boom!
There was another gunshot, but this time there were no casualties.
puff! puff!
Lu Song held a steel knife and slashed at the two young men in front of him. Now he didn't see any prince-in-law, only a bunch of rebels who dared to disobey the emperor's order.
Blood had just splattered, and Lu Song, holding the steel knife, seemed to be in a deserted place.
"surrender!"
"surrender!"
"I surrender!"
…
Facing Lu Song, who was already on a killing spree, a large group of people behind him chose to run away, while a group of people in the front chose to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Even though the prince consort who instigated them was the emperor's biological uncle, the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate who came now were simply god of murder, so the most important thing was to save his own life.
Wang Yue saw that Lu Song had brought the situation under control, and he was relieved when he learned that Wang Yu was only knocked unconscious, while Hu Jun's vital parts were not injured.
Zhou Jing was arrested, but he struggled with great reluctance and said: "Let go! I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Prince Consort, let's see who dares to touch my Prince Consort!"
"Consort Zhou, do you know your guilt?" Wang Yue came to Zhou Jing, sat on horseback and asked condescendingly.
To the west of the capital, Tang Ling's palace is located.
As a fast horse came from the east, Zhu Youtang, who had just stayed in the palace, already knew about the "riot" in the capital.
Although this is an era where imperial power is supreme, the emperor is only a person after all, so there are some people who are not afraid of the emperor from the bottom of their hearts, and even think that the emperor is weak and can be bullied.
Just after leaving Beijing, there was such a big riot in Beijing. This was a slap in Zhu Youtang's face.
But even if such a big thing happened in the capital, it was naturally impossible for him to turn around and go back. After all, why go back to Tianshou Mountain to pay homage to his ancestors?
Zhu Youtang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw the name of the troublemaker, realizing that he had indeed underestimated the "morality" of these powerful people.
Ordinarily, they are already superior to humans in this era, and there is no need to kill all their compatriots, but this group of people still want to continue to squeeze the marrow of the poor people.
"Your Majesty, it's time for the little tiger to drink milk!" Niu Mengmeng came bounding over, looking serious.
The palm-sized civet cat in Zhu Youtang's hand seemed to understand, but it mewed in resistance and still snuggled obediently into Zhu Youtang's hand.
"Little Tiger, you will die if you drink milk!" Niu Mengmeng warned him very seriously, as if he could understand cat language.
Zhu Youtang found that the kitten looked like a tiger cub, but was very clingy, so he still gave the civet cat to Niu Mengmeng to feed.
After all, there are indeed too many mice in our house, and we need more strong cats to clean up the mice for ourselves.
In Beijing, spring appears again in the sky.
Just as if it had been refreshed, rays of bright sunshine fell on this quaint square ancient city again, causing the streets and alleys to be bathed in the spring light again.
It's just that Zhou Jing, who was showing off his power in front of the shop just now, is now being taken to the West Market, two streets away. The blood on the execution platform after today's execution is still wet.
Zhou Jing was already tied up with a rope, and he looked confused and asked Wang Yue in front of him: "Wang Shichang, why did you bring my consort here?"
"Didn't the execution just happen? What is this?"
"That one seems to be the consort, why was he taken to the execution ground?"
"The Prince Consort? Are we going to kill the Prince Consort here?"
…
Some of the people who had just gathered around to watch the execution had not dispersed yet. Now that they saw Wang Yue appearing here with his consort in tow, they all turned their attention to him.
Wang Yue tightened the reins of his horse in front of the execution platform. He turned around and replied: "Zhou Jing, you disobeyed the imperial order and attempted to murder the imperial official in the back. You also secretly hid the forbidden weapons of the country. Now I will put you to death." !”
Zhou Jing was still confused at first, but soon he became very angry and laughed: "You behead me? What a joke. This consort is the emperor's biological uncle. What qualifications do you, a censor of Zuodu, Ducha Yuan, have to kill the emperor's relatives?" "
The people present couldn't help but look at each other in shock. Not to mention whether the prince-in-law should be executed, even if he really had to be executed, the emperor should make the final decision.
"Please bring out Shang Fang's sword!" Wang Yue got off his horse and looked at the honor guard on the east side.
In the astonished eyes of everyone, they saw a sedan being carried over, and an extremely sharp sword leaning in the sedan was none other than the Shang Fang Sword, which represented the supreme imperial power.
"Kneel down! Kneel down quickly!"
When the people present saw the appearance of Shang Fang's sword, they immediately knelt down and worshiped.
"Shang Fang's sword? How is this possible? Hasn't it been taken back by the emperor a long time ago?" Zhou Jing asked in shock when he saw the sudden appearance of Shang Fang's sword.
"How is this going?"
The people around him were very surprised when they saw the sudden appearance of Shang Fang's sword.
In all impressions, this Shang Fang sword had already been returned to the emperor, but Wang Yue actually took out the Shang Fang sword again today.
This Shangfang sword has been endowed with supreme privileges, not to mention killing a small prince-in-law and captain, even princes and ministers.
Just as the consort Zhou Jing questioned, why did Shang Fang's sword fall into Wang Yue's hands again?
Wang Yue did not pay attention to Zhou Jing's question, but greeted Shang Fang's sword in a polite manner, and then took out the sword, which symbolized imperial power, from the sedan chair.
"It's fake, it must be fake!" Zhou Jing was really panicked at this time, and he doubted it.
Wang Yue saw Zhou Jing's panic in his eyes, and asked calmly with his sword: "Do you think I forged a fake Shangfang sword just to kill your little prince-in-law?"
"No, this Shang Fang Sword can't be real. How could the emperor give you such great authority?" Zhou Jing thought of Wang Yue's deeds of killing people with Shang Fang Sword in local places, but he denied it in horror.
Wang Yue pulled out Shang Fang's sword, pointed it directly at Ma Jing and said angrily: "The emperor is going to the spring festival this time. It is during the critical period of financial rectification. In order to prevent someone from causing trouble in the imperial capital, I will temporarily give Shang Fang's sword to me! Now you If you blatantly resist the emperor's financial rectification order and lead a crowd to rebel, I will use Shang Fang's sword to take your head from your neck today, so that people will know the consequences of openly opposing the emperor!"
