Chapter 548: The Resistance of Taxation

Although Ma Taxation Supervisor's actions in Jining City are quite a lot of trouble, the impact on the lives of the people in Jining City is actually not very big. In other words, the impact of what he did will take a long time to show, but what he touched was the interests of the upper-class people in Jining.

Under the clamor of these people, the Horse Tax Supervisor naturally became a person who was angry and resentful. Most of the people who made trouble on the street were wandering weavers, but resentment was accumulated in their hearts for a long time. With such an opportunity to vent, and with the herd mentality of people, everyone was angry and wanted to tear the Horse Tax Supervisor and his group to pieces.

The people guarding the tax bureau were pulled down and beaten. The Tax Bureau wanted to run away, but found that they were blocked from front, back, left and right, and the people around them were rushing towards this side as if endlessly. There were fewer and fewer people around them, and only a few Jinyiwei and six or seven confidant guards were still around. It was ridiculous to say that the Tax Bureau realized that something was wrong.

The reactions of the few people next to him were also quick. Someone quickly shouted to the Ma Tax Supervisor and shouted in a low voice:

"Father-in-law, if we are right away, we're afraid we won't be able to leave, so let's get off the horse and rush!"

The two confidants came over and helped him off the horse. More than a dozen people dismounted and rushed towards the nearest courtyard gate on the other side. Although they were angry, the ability to fight was much worse than that of the Jinyiwei and these guards. The dozen people formed a team and rushed in one direction. The people in front of them could not resist it. They were knocked to the ground with three punches and two kicks, and they could not get up even if they crawled.

The people were still dealing with the followers in the outer circle and couldn't get around for a while. Instead, the horse tax supervisor rushed to the door of a house on the side of the road. Several of them in front of them didn't care about anything, pulled out their swords and chopped them around, and cut them open in a few seconds. The family was still lying on the wall watching the fun, but they didn't expect that they would rush in. They were panicked and didn't know how to react, so they were held by a knife on their necks and asked viciously:

“Where is the back door?”

After receiving guidance, he hurriedly ran towards the back door. However, the youngest son of this family was ignorant. He watched the tax supervisor running over as everyone chased and shouted at the people outside:

"The eunuch ran towards the back!"

As soon as he finished shouting this sentence, before he could come over to teach him a lesson, thousands of people rushed in and stirred up a good house, and followed him to go there.

However, the situation in the city did not become a little calmer because of the start of chasing. There were many people who had received favors from the Rong family. In Jining City, there were three or four hundred weavers taken in by the Rong family. They all wanted to find a job in the market. If they could not find any opportunity to work, they would go back even if they went back to be serfs, because even if they were animals, living was better than starving to death.

Listening to the sudden noise in the city, these people had not yet reacted. In a blink of an eye, a man in rags ran over, holding incense in his hand. This man was the dozen people who had just kowtowed to the prison cart in Rong Man Wai on the street. He shouted at the three or four hundred companions:

"Come to seek revenge on Mr. Rong's behalf, come with me!"

These people are very simple working people. They don’t know anything too complicated in their hearts. They just know how to repay gratitude. This time, the incense and candles were bought by these people. The person who came to summon the group was named Yan Wu. He was originally the weaver leader of a small weaver farm. When my mother got sick, the weaver farm was confiscated. When the Rong family took it in, they made a kind heart and paid for his mother to treat him. Yan Wu was really devoted to the Rong family. Seeing the scene so chaotic this time, Yan Wu thought that the opportunity to rescue Rong Yuanwai was coming, so he went back to summon people.

Those people on the dock had similar thoughts to Yan Wu, and they also had the hearts of people from Ma Tax Supervision and even all the yamen in Jining City for their current dilapidated situation. When they heard someone called, they were all excited and responded. They rushed over with Yan Wu.

Among these people, there was a person in the same situation as Yan Wu, named Zhou Chang. He grabbed an iron plate at some point and knocked it loudly with a wooden stick. While knocking, he shouted at people who didn't know what was going on the road and rushed to the place where the accident happened.

The Ma Tax Supervisor only walked a street from the Jining Prefectural Office, but was besieged by so many people. He couldn't go anywhere in a hurry. The safest place nearby was the Jining Prefectural Office. More than a dozen people supported the Ma Tax Supervisor and ran away in a hurry. At least before the people behind caught up, they ran into the main hall of the yamen.

The yamen runners in the magistrate's yamen had long known what was going on. In a panic, they saw more than a dozen people from the Ma Tax Supervisor escape in a panic. A Jinyiwei turned around and cursed:

"Close the door, close the door, top the head, the mob rebelled!"

The panicked yamen runners reacted and quickly raised the door with all their might. All prefectures and counties in Shandong are frequent areas of the White Lotus Sect. People who are often gathered to cause trouble and besiege the yamen. So there are some preparatory measures. The main hall gate and the back door are tightly closed, and they hold the prepared wooden stakes and other things on the door. As soon as they were finished, they heard the sound of a powerful smash on the wooden door.

Someone climbed to the wall and looked out, and was so scared that he almost fell from above. It turned out that a large number of people had already rushed over. Several tax supervisors and yamen run in front of him watched the gate close and wanted to climb up the wall, but it was too late. He was grabbed by the people behind and pulled it down and beaten it. He was beaten to death or to death. He couldn't see clearly and was directly submerged in the crowd.

The horse tax prison inside the yamen was only a little shocked, but he couldn't get any temper. His whole body was trembling like a sieve. The Jinyiwei next to him looked at the eunuch with contempt, thinking that when you always make money, you are extremely brave. Why is it like a deadly look at this time? But the Jinyiwei didn't say it. If it weren't for such a disbelief, how could you get so much money?

The Jinyiwei and the constable and chief in the yamen hurried to inspect everywhere and arranged personnel, for fear that these people would crawl in from other places. The magistrate of Jining also learned the news and walked to the main hall with a very ugly face. Usually, when he saw the magistrate of Jining, he was condescending to the horse tax prison, but at this time he was completely imposing. He grabbed the magistrate's official in tears and begged there:

"Master, the rioters outside are fierce, and Ma's life depends entirely on the adults."

Jining Magistrate squeezed a stiff expression on his face and said reluctantly:

"It is also my duty to quell civil chaos, Eunuch Ma should not worry."

The magistrate had cursed the eighth generation of the ancestors of the Horse Taxation Supervision in his heart several times, but he also knew that these tax supervisions represented the imperial court, what if there was anything?

If you miss it, you can't help it. Moreover, seeing the court's intention, you may also have the intention of taking the opportunity to exchange blood for local officials. Thinking about it, I also got a lot of money from the Ma Taxation Supervision Course. It was also on the same boat at this time, so I should try my best to maintain it.

The curses outside were shocking, and the people were venting their anger, just to tear the horse tax bureau and a group of followers into pieces. However, the big households in the city became more scrupulous. Soon, when the outside shouted the horse tax bureau, the call for slaughtering the horse tax bureau became the voice of the release of Rong Shanren, and the Gu Yuanwai, who even sent a confiscation of property.

As mentioned earlier, the Jining Prefectural Office has a lot of experience in dealing with the siege of the people. As expected, the magistrate gave an order and the yamen runners had already set up wooden frames. The Jining Prefectural Office climbed up carefully. When he looked around, he took a breath.

The scene under the wall is much more powerful than when the White Lotus Sect caused trouble. Not only was the front of the yamen full of people, but even the surrounding streets were also the same. Some people were rushing over.

"This kind of besiege of the magistrate's office is a serious crime of treason. You are all good people. Let's disperse quickly. I will not blame you..."

Before he finished speaking, the rain-like stone tiles hit him. The magistrate couldn't dodge and almost fell off the wooden frame. He didn't care about anything and hurriedly climbed down.

Outside the yamen, there were two scholars reading the text loudly, all of which were written with the various crimes of the Horse Tax Supervisor, and the words urging the yamen to release the Gu family's servants as soon as possible. One of the two scholars was Zhang Kai and the other was Shen Hong, both scholars funded by the Gu family. They stood in the front, and every time they read a sentence, the crowd was cheering loudly, and then they were clamoring.

At this time, the people's emotions were already boiling. There was no longer anyone standing in the yamen and the yard. Because the stones outside were thrown in like raindrops, they were so messy that they were so bad that they were so scared that the prefect of Jining was breathing a few breaths there. The prefect came over quietly and said a few words in his ear. The prefect nodded without saying a word.

No matter how he called Chen Ci, the yamen did not respond. There was a silence. The people outside became more and more angry. The people led by Yan Wu and Zhou Chang had arrived. At this time, they saw a man standing on the steps of the yamen. This man was the coachman outside the Gu family, called Gu Wenyuan. He stood there and said loudly:

"The magistrate's yamen and the tax supervisor are in the same group. Let's rush in and save people!"
