Chapter 1334 Rainy Night (6)
There was still an hour before the curfew, and the commotion in Dongshi had already shocked the entire city of Chang'an. The people who didn't know the truth were dumbfounded. The city of Chang'an had not been so shocked for a long time. The elderly could even think of that night in June of the ninth year of Wude, when blood soaked the entire Chang'an...
The members of the family clapped their hands and cheered!
As Jing Zhaoyin, he was unable to control the people within his jurisdiction, causing them to gather in Dongshi City to protest, which shocked the whole of Chang'an. This is the most serious dereliction of duty. It depends on how you die this time!
The civil and military ministers of North Korea and China received the information one after another, and they had different plans for a while...
Fang Jun did not ride in a carriage, but came out of Wei Zheng's mansion on a strong horse and headed south. Wei Mansion is located in Yongxing Fang, passing through Anxing and Shengye Fang and across Tianjie, which is the East Market. Along the way, Wang Xuance had already explained the situation in Dongshi in detail.
When he arrived here, he happened to catch up with Cheng Wuting who had led the Jingzhao Mansion's Yamen patrol and arrived in a hurry.
"Surround Dongshi for me, and no one will be allowed to escape!"
Fang Jun was riding on the horse, rain dripping down his brows and temples, his face gloomy.
Cheng Wuting responded: "Here!"
He was still injured, so he couldn't bear the rain, so he put on a raincoat while riding on his horse, and immediately ordered the patrol to surround Dongshi. Dongshi is too big, and Jingzhao Prefecture is short of manpower. Fortunately, when Cheng Wuting set out, he had already ordered people to notify Chang'an and Wannian counties to send out yamen officers to support them. At this time, the manpower was enough.
The East Market is generally rectangular, slightly longer from east to west, and slightly shorter from north to south. At this time, Fang Jun took a shortcut and headed south to the west gate. He saw that the originally dark East Market was as bright as day, and hundreds of people gathered just outside the center of the East City. On the foundations of several abandoned shops that were demolished, slogans were loud and the crowd was furious!
"Stop the demolition!"
"Return to normal business!"
"We want to eat!"
"Eradicate the traitors!"
“Give me back Dongshi!”
……
Fang Jun's face was gloomy and his mind was spinning rapidly.
At this point, if he still can't see that there must be a family member here, then he can find a piece of tofu and kill him...
He could even imagine that during the morning court tomorrow, the imperial censor would definitely follow up and submit a letter of impeachment to His Majesty Li Er, making a stern complaint. In any case, such a large-scale crowd gathering in the capital is shocking enough!
It would be a different person to hold the position of Jing Zhaoyin, but for this one, he can definitely be imprisoned. Even if he is Fang Jun, the crime is probably not light. His Majesty Li Er may have to be powerless if he wants to protect him. , after all, the impact is here.
This is Chang'an, the capital!
When chaos breaks out in the capital, which emperor can endure it?
This hand is so cruel!
But at the same time, instructing domestic slaves to incite merchants and hawkers to coerce the people to gather in the East Market must have touched the emperor's limit. No emperor can tolerate someone doing such a thing under his nose that may threaten the foundation of the throne. matter.
Even if the family members were able to defeat Fang Jun, it would still be a miserable victory in which they would kill one thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses...
Do these guys have a back-up plan?
Fang Jun stood on horseback at the gate of the East Market, looking at the bright torches and noisy crowds inside the East Market, his mind spinning rapidly, thinking about every possibility.
"Fu Yin, the East Market is surrounded by everyone. Not even a fly can fly out! This gang of small businessmen and hawkers is openly gathering in the capital. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, the impact may become more and more serious. Once the people in the surrounding area are instigated by them and become noisy, That’s not easy to deal with!”
Cheng Wuting rode up and asked anxiously.
Fang Jun nodded slightly.
The so-called "the law does not punish everyone", if it is okay for these small businessmen and hawkers here, most of these people have the shadow of aristocratic families. If they are arrested and interrogated one by one, they can always find out the family behind them, and they will not be completely passive.
But once the surrounding people don't know the truth and are encouraged to join in, it will be a big deal...
Fang Jun was still deep in thought, and Wang Xuance on the side said: "Cheng Canjun, please be patient. Thinking about it, even if those noble families dared to instruct their slaves to gather here, they would not dare to coerce too many people to participate." There is a limit to His Majesty's tolerance. Demonstrations to a certain extent are within the scope of his tolerance. The pressure comes from the stability of the capital, and His Majesty has to compromise. But once the scale expands and too many innocent people are involved, it will be terrible. It is a major event that can shake Guanzhong. If it goes out of control, it will be a crisis that can threaten the foundation of the empire! At that time, His Majesty will definitely be furious. Even if the governor is punished for this, how can he let go of those aristocratic families who have no bottom line? In that case, the Xiaoju incident would not have forced the emperor to deal with the governor, but would have directly affected the overall stability of the empire. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a traitor. Who dares to bear such a charge? "
A certain degree of gathering and making trouble is a means to incite public opinion and force His Majesty Li Er to make concessions.
Once the bottom line is exceeded, it is a challenge to the emperor's imperial power. It really forces His Majesty Li Er and the family members to give up their previous tacit understanding and fight sword to sword and gun to gun to the end!
The family members are not fools, how could they be so stupid?
Therefore, Wang Xuance's guess is very reasonable, and Fang Jun also understands that even if he arrests all the small merchants and hawkers in front of him, it will be of no use. Spontaneous organization is used as an excuse to escape responsibility.
Will the emperor pursue it?
Obviously not.
This is like a seesaw game. The family members know the importance. Although the Xiaoju incident seems serious, it definitely does not exceed the bottom line and will not cause the two sides of the seesaw to be unbalanced. It is within the range that His Majesty Li Er can tolerate.
But once the incident expands, the seesaw will lose its balance, and His Majesty Li Er's bottom line will be touched...
Cheng Wuting couldn't understand these things and just stared and said: "Are we just going to let these bastards gather here and cause trouble while we just sit back and wait to be killed?"
Just because you can't understand the deeper meaning doesn't mean you can't see the serious impact of the Xiaoju incident. Maybe Fang Jun will be implicated because of it! And if Fang Jun is punished, who of them, the little fish and shrimp who are attached to Fang Jun, will be fine?
I naturally feel the danger...
Fang Jun frowned in thought.
Everyone around him felt the extremely heavy pressure and held their breath, not daring to interrupt his contemplation.
Only the healthy horse would think for sure from time to time, its bowl-sized hooves lightly tapping the ground, and the horseshoes making a crisp sound. The torches held by the police officers were burning brightly, and the kerosene dipped in the torches made a "sizzling" sound when the rain poured on them.
After a long time, Fang Jun looked back at the tall square wall.
Pingkangfang and Xuanyangfang are just to the west of Dongshi, separated by a street. The tall walls of the square stand tall and towering, looking a bit majestic in the rainy night.
Where Fang Jun was standing at this time, Xuanyangfang was right behind him.
Narrowing his eyes and looking at the tall and tall square wall, Fang Jun whispered: "Come here, climb over the wall for me and set a fire."
Cheng Wuting: "..."
Wang Xuance: "..."
Fang Jun did not see the stunned expressions of the two people, and continued: "But be careful not to hurt anyone's life. Find unoccupied houses such as the main hall, stables, and warehouses, and burn a few more. It is best to make the entire Chang'an city invisible. The fire of Xuanyangfang”
Wang Xuance said anxiously: "Fu Yin, wouldn't this make things uncontrollable? Dongshi alone is easy to say, and we can look for evidence to fight back, but if Xuanyangfang is also involved... it will cause a big fuss. ”
Fang Jun chuckled: "What's wrong with making a scene? I just want to make a scene so that no one can control it!"
The aristocratic family members make decisions before they act, and strike first to gain the upper hand. At present, Fang Jun is in an extremely passive situation, and it can be said that he is being led by others.
How to break the situation in such a hurry?
The best way is naturally to make things go beyond the expectations of the person behind it.
I can't control it, and neither can you.
As long as none of us can control it, it will be like returning to the same starting line...
Wang Xuance is a very smart person. Fang Jun just said this. After thinking for a moment, he reacted and said excitedly: "Fu Yin is really powerful! Haha, if you don't want us to have an easy time, then no one will have an easy time!"
Fang Jun smiled and said: "That's right."
There will be another chapter later...
