The Great Hall of the Four Peoples.

"Stop him, don't let him go, don't let the traitor of this worker escape!"

"Catch this traitor!"

...

Amid the roar of chaos, the worker representative Yan Ping ran in a panic, and covered his face with his clothes, but this was useless. Many workers had recognized him and surrounded him from all directions. After all, the four civil representatives had been in Nandu for five years, and even the business names invited them to the platform to advertise. In the end, even the Wangfu Capital could not bear it anymore and proposed to hold a meeting and ban it. It was said that these 299 representatives were still easily recognized in this city. While running wildly to avoid him, he cursed the Jinyiwei who was guarding him. This irresponsible guy had slipped away with diarrhea as an excuse, but this was inevitable. After all, he had become a member of the Datong Party...

"Where to run!"

Suddenly there was a roar.

A figure pounced on him and threw him onto the hard cement floor.

Immediately afterwards, more figures rushed over and held him down.

"What are you going to do? I am the representative of the Four Minions. You are committing a crime, patrolman, patrolman, help me!"

Yan Ping screamed.

Although he was a dock worker, after five years of comfortable life, his combat effectiveness declined severely, and he had no power to resist during the siege of the surrounding workers.

Then he was picked up by a bunch of workers.

"You guys are committing a crime!"

He shouted with a harsh expression on his face.

"It is natural to pay back the debt. We ask you for the debt and don't want to kill you. Is it a crime to pay back the debt? Look at what this is, and you sign the guarantee letter with your own signature. As a representative of the working class, the workers choose you to speak and uphold justice for the workers. You have written a guarantee letter yourself. If you vote for the land law of the Datong Party, you will compensate the workers nationwide one million yuan. This money is handed over to Her Majesty the Queen and used for the pension fund of workers nationwide. Now that you have violated the guarantee letter and betrayed the working class, every worker has the right to ask you for this compensation."

A worker who grabbed him said with a guarantee letter.

"Yes, lose money!"

"You wrote the guarantee letter yourself!"

...

There were shouts around him.

At this time, a patrolman walked in and blew the whistle seriously. The workers immediately separated and made way for him. Yan Ping immediately struggled to pounce on him as if he had seen a savior. However, the latter looked at him with a baton, looked at the guarantee letter with a serious face, and then looked at him...

"You are an economic dispute and are not under our police. You should go to Yingtian Mansion to file a complaint, but you are not allowed to hit people. Beating people is illegal!"

The patrolman said.

As he said that, he returned the guarantee letter to the workers.

"What do they think of this?"

Yan Ping said in surprise.

"Didn't I say that you are an economic dispute. If you owe them money, they come to you to ask for debts. This is reasonable and legal. There is no illegal or criminal problem. Of course, they cannot beat you. Beating you is a crime, but they can take you to Yingtian Mansion. This is OK. After all, your dispute must be resolved. However, since the guarantee letter has already stated that the compensation is left to Her Majesty the Queen for custody, it is best to ask Her Majesty the Queen to coordinate first to see if she can talk calmly. After all, it is an economic dispute. There is no need to make too big a big deal. First, coordinate and discuss first. If the negotiation is inappropriate, then go to Yingtian Mansion. In addition, since they have not beaten you, it is not our patrol officer's business."

The patrolman said.

After saying that, he left with a baton.

"No beating people!"

He even turned around and emphasized it specifically.

Yan Ping was stupid. No matter what, he never expected that before entering the Great Hall of Four Peoples to vote, he wrote a guarantee letter to fool the workers in order to escape smoothly. This means that this million is required to be compensated. If he does not compensate, he will go to Yingtianfu to sue. According to the Ming Dynasty, those who owe debts and do not pay more than fifty karats a month, and those who delay debts for one month plus ten boards will be added to ten boards until the sixty boards are capped, but they still have to recover their capital and profit. One million yuan, he lost all his money, and even paid all the land and money he had just collected, he would not be able to afford one million! But the problem is that the guarantee letter was indeed written by him, and he also pressed his handprints, and even a bunch of witnesses also pressed his handprints with his signature. The black and white words are really undeniable.

this……

"I am the representative of the Four People, and I have immunity!"

He shouted suddenly.

"The immunity does not mean that you can owe debts but not pay them back. This is an economic dispute. Have you heard that? We are an economic dispute. Besides, your immunity will have a few months left. Then we can go to Yingtian Mansion to sue you in a few months. You may have to be ready to be beaten by the sixty blocks!"

A worker said with a smile.

"right!"

"Take him to see Her Majesty the Queen first!"

...

Amid the chaotic shouts, these workers raised Yan Ping, who was struggling. At this time, the Jinyiwei, who was responsible for protecting him, appeared with a gloating smile. The guy's diarrhea problem did not seem to be serious. Yan Ping hurriedly called for help from him, but after this guy asked about the situation, he immediately stated that this kind of economic dispute was not within his scope of responsibility. As long as the workers did not endanger Yan Ping's safety, he had no right to interfere in the matter. He protected the personal safety of the Four Min Representatives, and the Four Min Representatives did not repay the debts. However, since the workers were going to take him to see Her Majesty the Queen to coordinate and resolve the problem, then as the Jinyiwei, he had the obligation to lead the way for these people. These people could continue to carry Yan Ping, and he would be responsible for informing the Jinyiwei Guard Department.

Then Yan Ping was carried over to the head by the workers, as if he was carrying the offerings on his way to the palace.

And it's not just Yan Ping.

Due to the situation before, of course, I didn't expect this to happen. After all, these four people's representatives have been highly respected in Nandu over the years. They have become accustomed to being respected and never thought that someone would give them such a trap. Before entering the Great Hall of the Four People, a total of 55 farmers and workers' representatives signed guarantee letters. As for the members of the Peasants and Democratic Party, no one asked them to sign, and those who signed the Datong Party or the neutral representatives were all representatives of the Datong Party or the neutral faction. Among these representatives who signed the guarantee letter, twenty-five people violated the guarantee letter and voted for the land law proposed by Wang Fuzhi. So now they are in trouble. The farmers and workers holding the guarantee letters grabbed them without hesitation and asked them to compensate according to the guarantee letter. The police's characterization of such a thing is economic disputes, and they don't care if they don't beat people...

The prefect of Yingtian was Yan Yingyuan.

He has been in Yingtian for many years, and has been promoted from magistrate to prefecture. In this struggle, he belonged to the neutral faction.

But the lower-level officials, especially the police, must be crazy believers who protect the Duke, so there is no need to say what they will do in this matter. The Jinyiwei who protected these representatives acted as a guide party, allowing the farmers and workers to take them to the palace in various ways...

The Queen is the indemnity manager.

After all, this kind of compensation is compensation for all farmers and workers. There must be a manager. The queen is the best choice. If you leave it to the queen, you don’t have to be afraid of being greedy. More importantly, the queen has its own charitable system, which can better use the compensation, and then the queen is responsible for using the compensation as a fund, and just use it to provide relief to farmers and workers.

So I have to find the Queen to be fair.

Then the twenty-five teams of workers and farmers led twenty-five representatives to walk towards Chengtian Gate in the streets and alleys of Nanjing City, and they quickly caused a sensation in the city. After all, this kind of thing is still very attractive. Everyone knows that the Land Law that just voted for is a blatant provocation of the Duke of Guarding the Kingdom. If the Duke of Guarding the Kingdom does not take some revenge, it will be strange. These representatives of the four civilians who dared to commit crimes against the wind are undoubtedly the first to be affected. Although workers and farmers are now taking action, there is obviously a shadow of the Duke of Guarding the Kingdom behind them. Otherwise, the Jinyiwei who protected them would not be so easy to talk to.

Soon, the whole city of Nandu caused a sensation.

Countless people flocked to the streets to follow the team, while other four civil representatives who voted for the new land law hid in fear.

They were also scared.

Although they escaped this disaster, who knew if the Duke of the National Guardian would have anything else to deal with them?

Soon the first team arrived at Chengtian Gate, and then led the Jinyiwei to quickly run in to report. Then the next team arrived one after another, and the Jinyiwei who led the way came in to report. At the same time, several cabinet ministers in the cabinet, Wang Fuzhi and several core members of the Datong Party also arrived here, but they did not do anything about it. After all, these people were just chess pieces thrown away when they were used up. Yang Qing encountered such a shameful failure and must vent. If he was asked to clean up these representatives, it would be considered to be a venting fire, so that he could avoid causing trouble for others. Besides, it would be impossible to manage economic disputes. How do they manage economic disputes? The workers and farmers did not beat and killed people, but brought these representatives to the Queen to resolve the problem. It was not that they would have to pay them. This was for negotiation, and under the auspices of the Queen to make peace.

This is not a big deal!

"The Duke of the National Guard is getting more and more naive!"

Zhang Guowei said.

Obviously, in his opinion, this is just that Yang Qing had nowhere to vent his anger, and he just found a few that could not affect the overall situation. This behavior was simply childish.

"But what if it really reports to Yingtian Mansion?"

Du Yinxi asked Shi Kefa.

This question must be understood.

Shi Kefa was the minister of Dali Temple and the most important judge. Although he belonged to a neutral faction, he was determined not to sit idly by and watch Yang Qing make trouble in the matter of Gongtianfa. This is the minimum moral integrity of a Confucian disciple. So in this matter, he was an alliance with the defenders of gentry such as Du Yinxi. In fact, it was not only his neutral faction, but also Yang Qing's direct line. For example, Song Quan, and even Ma Shiying and Li Yutian, who were famous for their flattery, remained neutral. Although they all knew that maintaining neutrality was to support the gentry group, they still showed the bottom line of a Confucian disciple in Gongtianfa.

Confucius has a spirit in heaven!

Of course, they would not object to Yang Qing. They did not have the courage. Besides, these people were not big landlords, and they had essentially completely become capitalists.

In short, Yang Qing’s allies are Li Laiheng.

Even though Li Zicheng's subordinates, Gao Yigong, who had moved to Nandu, remained neutral in this matter. Although they had no real power, they still held some false positions that seemed respectful but were actually useless. For example, Gao Yigong is currently the inspector of the Tiantian. Previously, Li Laiheng invited them to join the Peasants and Democratic Party, but all of them chose to refuse. In the end, only his old partner Hao Yaoqi joined the situation.

After all, these people have also changed.

They were not the rebels of the past, but became new gentry capitalists.

Only Li Laiheng has not changed.

The civil and military officials and nobles of the court, from the old land gentry to emerging capitalists, and even the original rebels and pirates, almost all of them either oppose or are nominally neutral or actually oppose it, or watch and do not intervene. It is said that even the generals who were fighting in the south had written letters to advise the Duke of the National Guard to learn from Jia Sidao. In short, Yang Qing and Li Laiheng can be described as enemies in the court, and only the lower-class peasants and workers supported them.

No matter what the upper class came from before, there was no one who really supported it.

"This case is not easy to convict."

Shi Kefa said.

"The key is whether the guarantee letter they signed has legal effect. If they were forced to sign, it would be illegal. Yingtianfu, Dali Temple, will not support compensation. But if they were not forced, or they could not produce evidence of their forced, then they would have to pay according to the law. But this is difficult, because they were surrounded by workers and farmers at that time, and we could not find them at the scene, and it could also prove that they were forced witnesses, but workers and farmers could find countless witnesses to prove that they were not forced."

He continued.

"That is, it is very likely that they must be sentenced to compensation for the money on the guarantee letter."

Du Yinxi said.

"Just pay if you pay, you can't afford it. They just get 60 yuan and then confiscate their property and discount it. They don't have any property. When they come back, they will send someone to tell them, don't be afraid, there are justice people in the world behind them."

Zhang Guowei said.

Shi Kefa glanced at him meaningfully.

This means that even if Yang Qing was asked to search these people, the landlords and capitalists would make up for them after the raid. After all, it would be easy to solve any money. It is impossible to compensate one million yuan per person, but the Ming Dynasty law does not mean that it is necessary to be rude. How to judge the law should be sentenced. If you should be punished, it is just a bribe who is executed. If you really have no money to pay, it is just a confiscating property. It is impossible to save their family members as slaves. How much money can they still be spent after all their property is copied. After a few days, the landlords and capitalists will compensate them. After all, it is not a few.

Let Yang Qing vent now!

Anyway, the gentry is not the one who beats the board!

The values ​​of these four people have basically been squeezed out. Even if they are kind-hearted, who will really care about them?
Chapter completed!
