Chapter 168: Scholars Meet Soldiers
,(click co)!
Overnight, the Futu Temple was sealed and the Tao family was confiscated, and more than a thousand people were imprisoned, including Tao merchants, Tao Ying, the second son of the Tao family, Zhengyuan, and the respected elders of the Futu Temple.
It does not include the private soldiers who were taken care of by the manor outside the city.
The incident happened without any warning, and after receiving the news, the families of all the families were stunned on the spot.
After being confused, I feel fear.
They were just angry when the money was cheated by stocks.
Those things are just external things, and losing them is nothing. Their connections are still there, and their reputation and privileges as a noble family are still there. You can recover your blood if you survive for decades.
But today, Cao Ang really dares to arrest people?
I will arrest the pottery merchant today, and will I arrest them tomorrow?
What should I do after being arrested? Will I be killed?
The heads of the family were frightened and spontaneously walked out of the house to inquire about the news.
In response, Mao Ba Nian not only did not stop him, but instead contributed to the fire, deliberately spreading the accident that happened at Futu Temple last night.
After learning that, all parties responded differently. Ordinary people either cursed at the Tao family, shook their heads and sighed, and said they had committed evil, but more of them turned their attention to the governor's mansion, hoping that the young prince could make the decision for them.
But they also think it is unlikely, so they don’t have much hope.
Officials are used to protecting each other.
But the aristocratic families sneered at it, just a few maids, is it necessary to make a big deal?
So what if one of the maids is Zhang Liao’s fiancée? Haven’t you been married yet? At worst, we can give you a few more.
Of course, there are also some sympathetic young men from aristocratic families who think that the pottery merchants have done too much, but this type of people obviously cannot occupy the mainstream.
Lu Su did not stay in the governor's mansion last night, but drank with a friend whom he met by chance. He did not go back until it rained halfway and stayed in the inn with his friend.
I heard about this just after I got downstairs in the morning. I was so shocked that I realized for a long time and murmured to myself: "Isn't Master Zhengyuan a great monk? How could he do such a thing?"
"Hmph, there are many people who are hypocritical these days. What good things can be found when they are mixed with Zuo? Cao Ang is decisive and sealed the Futu Temple and searched the Tao family without a sound. I just don't know what he will do next?"
Beside Lu Su, a young man with thick eyebrows, a black face and a short beard, and a strange-looking face gritted his teeth. His already ugly face became even more ugly because of his anger.
Lu Su did not look down on his appearance at all, but instead asked with interest: "Oh, what do Shi Yuan hopes he will deal with it?"
"Of course it's blood debt and blood payment. Such a bastard who is rich and unkind should not live in the world." The young man called Shi Yuan said: "Lu Zijing, in front of me, you'd better put away this gloating smile. That's six lives, six..."
"Six girls were dismembered by five horses in the Buddhist holy land. How could you laugh?"
"Do you rich families have a little bottom line in doing things?"
The killing surface was a bit wider. Lu Su was scolded and blushed, but he couldn't refute it. He had to look shaking and change the subject: "What if he kills him, so what if he doesn't kill him?"
The young man said with a firm face: "If he dares to kill Tao merchants, I, Pang Tong, will regard him as the main person and help him achieve great achievements. If he does not kill, even if I misjudged the person, I will revenge this hatred alone. Even if I spend my whole life, I will definitely kill the Tao family."
Lu Su was stunned and looked at the boy incredible way. After a long time, he said, "Shi Yuan, you don't seem to know those girls, is it necessary?"
Upon hearing this, a deep sadness arose in Pang Tong's heart.
In the world of famous families, ordinary people like them are no more precious than a dog in their eyes.
Is it sad?
sorrow.
Hate?
certainly.
But what?
"I am both people who have fallen into the world, why do you have to know each other when we meet each other? You said this." Pang Tong said: "Although I don't know them, it does not mean that I am indifferent to their experience. A young woman who is about to get married goes to the temple to burn incense with longing, but ends up dead. Anyone who has the will and has a little human nature will never be indifferent to such tragic things."
This kid is crazy.
Lu Su didn't plan to argue with him and said, "Let's go out and find out the situation."
The two left the restaurant and went upstairs to find that the street was full of patrolling black-robed soldiers and Jinyiwei.
The black-robed army used platoons as units, and the Jinyiwei used small flags as units, and they did not arrest or interrogate, and they just wandered on the streets. Wherever they passed, whether it was the people or the rich young men, they all quickly moved out of their minds.
The Tao family was confiscated by them, and the Futu Temple was sealed by them. These Qiu Bas have completely let themselves go and cannot afford to offend them.
Pang Tong looked at the black-robed army who was striding by his side with interest, touched his beard and exclaimed: "The army is neat and has evil spirits, and is elite."
"That's right." Lu Su smiled bitterly: "They have killed all the peerless killing gods like Lu Bu."
The two of them did not delay much and headed straight to the governor's mansion.
After arriving, I realized that the governor's mansion was already crowded, with officials from various government offices, heads of family members, and monks from various temples, all of which were there, and the people were even more than the last time.
Somehow, Chen Gong became the leader of all the families. At present, Cao Ang was only a bachelor living in the governor's mansion. Without female relatives, everyone had no worries. Under Chen Gong's leadership, they rushed into the backyard directly.
Unfortunately, I was turned away.
Cao Ang locked himself in the room and saw no one. Hu San and hundreds of troops surrounded the room. Even if the others forced themselves to break in, they would not be able to break in.
Chen Gong glared at Hu San and said, "Hu San, lead troops to surround the young master's residence. Do you want to rebel?"
Hu San looked at the sky in a slanted manner, and almost pissed Chen Gong to death.
Although he wanted to throw his sleeves away, he had to patiently persuade him for the sake of the overall situation: "General Hu, the Tao family is a wealthy family in Xuzhou. Killing him has a great impact. You can't afford this consequence, and the young master can't afford it. The young master is as kind as a mountain to you. How can you watch him go astray and ignore it?"
No matter how Chen Gong persuaded him, Hu San was still the biggest virtue of the world.
Because Cao Ang told him that cultural people are all experts who talk nonsense and bickering. If you tied them together, you are not their opponents. The only way is to remain silent.
When a scribe meets a soldier, it is hard to explain it clearly.
This is the only way for Qiu Ba to deal with cultural people.
Hu San remembered what Cao Ang said, so even though Chen Gong's spitting spitted his face, he was still like a Buddha in the temple, still as motionless as a mountain.
Chen Gong couldn't continue and was about to turn around and leave to think about his other way. The door suddenly opened from inside, and Mao Ba Nian walked out of it.
Chen Gong hurriedly met and asked, "Commander Mao, young master..."
"Please follow me." Mao Banian lifted his foot and left, and Chen Gong and others hurriedly followed.
Soon, a group of people came to a mourning hall. Mao Ba Nian opened a coffin and called Chen Gong in front of him and said, "Mr. Gongtai, take a look."
Chen Gong looked down and saw a female corpse lying in the coffin. The body was only thirteen or fourteen years old. The head, arms, and legs were spliced together, and it was not enough to sew it.
As soon as he saw it, Chen Gong felt a little discomfort in his stomach and hurriedly turned around.
Compared to stomach discomfort, he was even less afraid to look at the twisted face and those resentful eyes.
