As the chief of the Northern Fu Department, Li Ruolian is most concerned about the emperor's every move. He often judges the emperor's preferences and those he likes through the emperor's imperial edicts and oral edicts, so that he can make corresponding judgments and responses, maintain and help these things so that he will not make big mistakes, and make him a person whom the emperor relies on in the future. The young prefect in front of him is the one who needs him to lend a helping hand.

Li Ruolian, who was thoughtful, had long known who the emperor valued the most, and the subordinates of these important officials naturally became his target of attention. Because of this, the day after he arrived in Suzhou Prefecture, he sent someone to find Fang Wen and asked him to find a convenient time to come to the door for a secret discussion.

Fang Wen, who was in a difficult situation, was overjoyed after receiving the notice from Li Ruolian. For him, who was isolated and helpless, the sudden appearance of a senior official of the Jinyiwei made him realize the arrival of an opportunity. As long as he grasped it properly, this strike incident would be a good opportunity for him to get rid of the desperate situation.

He immediately came to Suzhou Baihu Institute in the name of visiting his old friends from Shaanxi with servants who came from Shaanxi.

"The prefect, the prefect, is hereby ordered to go south to deal with the incident of someone trying to disrupt the south of the Yangtze River. At this time when the storm in Suzhou City is about to come, the personal army still needs your government's help to prevent the people of Suzhou from being affected too much, and can also return to the prosperous image of the past as soon as possible. What advice does your government have or hopes that even if it is said, I will work with your government to properly handle the matter so that my emperor can feel at ease!"

Although there is no need for the other party to be so polite according to Li Ruolian's identity and status, Li Ruolian has other plans.

Li Ruolian knew all kinds of attacks and other tricks in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. He knew very well and understood Fang Wen's current situation, so he was ready to help Fang Wen clear his opponents in the government office and let Fang Wen gain a foothold in Suzhou Prefecture. After returning to Beijing, he would leave a better impression on the emperor when he reported to the emperor when he mentioned this matter a little.

All of this is for the position of commander of the Jinyiwei. Luo Yang is too mean and his methods are too gentle, and no one wants to offend him. This has led to the appearance of some domineering and difficult-to-control households, and the military discipline of the guards also shows signs of chaos. Some people even use their power to secretly extort court officials. All of this is something that Li Ruolian cannot tolerate. In his opinion, these behaviors are all to smearing the personal army on the face and seeking death.

If these incidents spread to the palace, the emperor would likely take measures to limit the power of the pro-military army. The pro-military army, who finally restored its former glory, would probably gradually become marginalized. This possible situation is simply unacceptable to Li Ruolian.

As long as you can take over the position of commander commander, all the chaos that appears in the guards will be eradicated, and some black sheep will be dealt with as long as they deserve, so that the status of the personal army will remain unmoved.

"The imperial envoy's words are actually a shame. The imperial envoy does not hide the imperial envoy. Since he arrived at the office last year, except for the official seal when paying the imperial envoy's taxes, the other provisions issued by the officials were put on the shelves. When dealing with official duties, the six wings carried out all the things that were erratic and disobedient. Even if the officials found a wrong place and beat the board in the hall, the person who was punished was still playing the show for the officials. This time, someone in Suzhou planned to confront the imperial envoy, but he was unable to stop it. Fortunately, the ruling envoy came in person, and the ruling envoy could feel the power of the court. However, the ruling envoy had the order, and the ruling envoy would cooperate fully to drive it and return the bright world of Suzhou Prefecture as soon as possible!"

Fang Wen did not hide his current difficulties. After all, such a major incident occurred under his rule, and he had an unshirkable responsibility. Now, only by explaining the difficulties he encountered first can he gain the understanding of the benefactor and the emperor.

"The outspoken actions of your government are very impressed by me. Some people colluded with bandits this time, and the troubles of Jiangnan are purely unrestrained to your government. I believe that the emperor and the court will also consider the difficulties of your government and will not criticize you too much. Your government is young and promising. If you do your best to do your job, you will definitely have a bright future in the future. I hope your government will not make mistakes. Remember who is the lord of my emperor! Otherwise, the fate of some people will be an example!"

Li Ruolian's expression became solemn.

Fang Wen hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying that he didn't dare.

"Can your government have trusted people in the government office? After a few days, it must be used. Now, please ask your government to pick up the pen and list the people in the government office who are unwilling to the court. At that time, the personal army will take them down! After that, your government immediately sends people to comfort the people and restore the prosperity of the market. If there are casualties, you still need to pay the innocent people to repair the destroyed houses. The subsequent matters will be handled with care! After writing, your government will return, and then leave the door to stay in the door on the grounds of illness. The government office will be handed over to the official affairs of the government office to the assistant, and the other matters will be handled by the official!"

Li Ruolian pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and said.

Fang Wen was stunned for a moment and was overjoyed. With Li Ruolian's words, he could justify all the political enemies in the government office.

With collusion with bandits, the big basket of Jiangnan can be filled with trouble, and everything can be put into it.

After handing over the list left by Fang Wen to Wu Junsheng, Li Ruolian sat down and began to ponder.

Everything has been arranged. Now it depends on how much the Suzhou Prefecture's strike will be. Li Ruolian hopes that the bigger the trouble, the better. For these Jiangnan officials and gentry who treat the emperor as nothing, he has a heartfelt hatred and disgust, and he wishes to search all of these people and exterminate them.

At the beginning of the strike, the mentality of the citizens in Suzhou was no different from that in Yangzhou Prefecture. However, the difference was that because Xu Qiming and others took extraordinary measures, Liang Qi took all his gangs, and the strike was over in less than two days. Therefore, no major sāo      luàn occurred in the city, and the order of the city recovered quickly.

However, Jiao Yunfeng, the Suzhou Prefecture Promoter, Huang Zhi, Wang Zuohai and others did not use extreme measures, but secretly mobilized some readers in the family to write and post them everywhere, bewitching the people in the city to resist the so-called atrocities of the court fighting for profit with the people.

The letter of the Notice implicitly attacked Zhu Youjian, saying that he was the only tyrant of the Ming Dynasty since Taizu, with countless concubines in the palace and shocking daily expenses. This taxation was carried out to satisfy his greed. This is a typical case of putting the people in the south of the Yangtze River and the fire of water and fire for the self-interest of the royal family. The letter of the letter even implied that the thieves ravaged the north were also because of his excessive exploitation of the people. In order to survive, the people in the north rose up and resisted.

As rumors spread and the lack of grain, rice, oil and salt, under the encouragement of those who are interested, Suzhou citizens, who already had a tax resistance precedent, began to stir up. First, neighbors gathered together to discuss the business tax, but later the discussion turned into cursing and condemning. Small-scale jí      huì finally disbanded amid the slandering.

Although dissatisfaction and indignation in the city are brewing, because most families still have food to spend a few days, the city of Suzhou is generally calm.

But on the fourth day of the strike, this superficial calm atmosphere was broken because most citizens had no food at home.

Under Li Ruolian's instructions, the Sihai Commercial Bank in Suzhou City also joined the strike. Several grain stores and grocery stores were closed. The guys in the city all received enough grain and rice for ten days to eat, and then secretly transported them home and hid them.

Citizens who had already lost food or were close to food could no longer bear it. First, a small number of people took to the streets to start scolding the mulberry trees, and then more and more people gathered. Finally, after someone shouted the slogan "Let the government ask for yào    shuō    fǎ", the crowd on the street began to spontaneously go to the Suzhou Prefectural Office.

As most of the residents in the city joined the team, some of the city's rogues hired by Huang Zhi and others were also among them. When passing by a grain store at the Sihai Commercial Bank, several gangsters pointed to the shop and shouted: "This shop is open in the palace! The dog emperor earned the people's money and had to increase taxes, so we won't let us live! We will snatch him today!"

A gangster ran up and jumped up and kicked the door panel. With the bang, the door panel did not move at all. Another gangster shouted: "Smash the store door! There is food inside!"

The shout aroused people's anger. Someone stepped forward and began to hit the door panel with his body. Then more people joined in. Under the joint impact of everyone, several door panels fell to the ground and people began to rush into the store.

As the news spread, other stores of Sihai Commercial Bank were also invaded by the public, but whether it was grain stores or oil, salt and groceries, most of the materials stored in them had been loaded on board and shipped to other places, and the people who broke into the store had not gained much.
