Chapter five hundred and forty-first wealth touching people's hearts
The next day, Wang Jing, the eunuch procured by the imperial envoy, walked out of the house depressed. There were more than a dozen people waiting for him in the courtyard - all of them were the men Wang Jing brought from the capital.
Among the people who came with the capital, the thousand-household princes and two small leaders were captured by Fang Yingwu yesterday, and the rest are here; all the people who were recruited locally in Suzhou were also captured by Fang Yingwu
stand up.
Yesterday, nearly two hundred people gathered under his command after shouting "Bainuo". Today, there were only three or two kittens left, which made Wang Jing the Eunuch feel very uncomfortable.
But it doesn't matter. It's hard to find two-legged toads, but there are plenty of people with two legs. As long as the signboard of the imperial eunuch is still there, just go to other places and recruit a group of minions.
"Let's go!" Wang Jing ordered through gritted teeth. After that, he took the lead and walked outside. There were more than a hundred officers and soldiers watching at the gate.
Although the prince went out unimpeded, the men escorting the goods were stopped. The Baihu official who led the team said unaccommodatingly: "The imperial envoy has an order, and each person only needs to carry fifty coins."
Two, as well as daily household items, nothing else is allowed to be taken away."
Wang Jing was immediately furious. He had been feeling aggrieved since yesterday and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He turned around and cursed at Baihuguan: "Blind bitch, do you know who grandpa is?"
I think that after Wang Jing arrived in Suzhou, he worked so hard to collect more than 100,000 taels of valuables and treasures. This is his greatest achievement. How can he give it all to others?
Fang Yingwu wanted his men, so he accepted his defeat and handed over the king's ministers; but he didn't expect that Fang Yingwu would go further and start thinking about property at this time!
If Fang Yingwu revealed this meaning yesterday, he would definitely fight to the death and not compromise with Fang Yingwu!
Baihuguan was scolded by Wang Jing. He could only reply with a grimace: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy asked the official to issue a military order. If the prince is allowed to leave with the extorted property, he will be charged with harboring the same crime."
A head on your neck to pay for the crime!"
Wang Jing returned to the courtyard angrily and shouted to the hundreds of households outside the door: "You are not allowed to take it away with me? If I don't leave just now, do you dare to come in and rob me openly?"
The Baihu officials had not yet answered, but Wang Jing and his attendants were frightened. Yesterday, Fang Yingwu captured other people. He heard that they were going to kill them in a big way. How could they not be afraid?
It would not be an exaggeration to say that a dozen of them had slipped through the net. But in their eyes, Fang Yingwu was like a living king of hell, and Suzhou Prefecture was a place of great danger. It was better to leave early!
If you stay there, it will be a long night and a lot of dreams. Who knows if Fang Yingwu will have a whim to arrest them and send them to the execution ground in order to separate themselves from the prince?
Wang Gonggong is an imperial eunuch. He is not afraid of others coming to kill him, but they little people can't block the king's order flag! Thinking of this, the minions on the left and right all advised Wang Jing: "My lord! Keep the green hills here, don't worry if you run out of firewood and go elsewhere.
If you start from scratch, why waste time in Suzhou."
Wang Jing was in a state of uncertainty. He knew very clearly what his subordinates were thinking, and knew that they were hopeless and courageous, but what could he do?
Can he drive away all these people? Wouldn't he be completely alone without anyone to give orders to?
In the end, the prince could only let out a long sigh and left Gusu Yi without looking back. No one could see him. His hands hidden in his big sleeves were shaking all the time, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh of his palms.
While standing by the dock waiting for the boat to sail, the prince recalled the large carts of goods and felt his heart was cut like a knife and in unbearable pain. He almost had the urge to commit suicide by jumping into the water, and his hatred for Fang Yingwu increased several times.
.
"Fang Yingwu! If you dare to rob my money, you and I are at odds with each other!"
With the departure of the eunuch Wang Jing who was hired by the imperial envoy, the gloom in Suzhou City disappeared, and the streets immediately returned to a leisurely and prosperous scene.
Moreover, after Fang Qinchen killed all the scoundrels and eunuchs who had taken refuge with the imperial envoy and carried out the decisive killings, other street gangsters were afraid of Fang Qinchen's reputation and temporarily hid themselves in a low-key manner.
As a result, the chaos on the streets has been greatly reduced. The most intuitive indicator is that there are slightly more young ladies of all kinds who dare to show their faces than before.
As if overnight, the incident of Wang Jing and his minions causing chaos in Suzhou became a page that had been swept away and no longer existed in real life.
However, at the temporary execution ground outside the city, the officers and soldiers of the guard station still followed the steady rhythm of three people a day, beheading their heads slowly and slowly, probably for eleven or twelve days. Every day, there were fresh and bloody heads that came out of the cage to remind everyone.
For the urban gentry and common people, forgetting the past means betrayal.
Great changes have also taken place in the Imperial Envoy's Mansion. The wealthy households who gathered on the street outside to seek refuge gradually dispersed, and house prices gradually dropped back to normal levels. In the mansion, Tang Guangde, the official of Tang Dynasty, also hurriedly returned to Wangjiang Tower, striving to reopen as soon as possible.
.
However, Tang Guangde tried his best to keep his eldest son in the mansion. The excuse was that the imperial envoy was surrounded by clumsy people and it would not look good when used. He asked his son to act as a book boy serving tea and water to repay the kindness of protecting him.
Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly and accepted the kindness, and couldn't help but complain a few words in his heart. This Tang Guangde really dared to take risks. He casually left his son to others to be a temporary book boy, and was not afraid of the sheep falling into the tiger's mouth. I don't know that some scholar-bureaucrats
Do you like pedophilia?
However, it is also possible that when Tang Yuan saw Yuan Fengxiao outside, he could stay at the mansion and not leave, so he was more at ease with the other party's orientation.
Several large carts of goods that were seized by the purchasing eunuch Wang Gonggong were all sent to the mansion and temporarily piled up in a wing in the inner courtyard, with Fang Yingshi in charge of taking care of them.
There are all kinds of money, treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all good things accumulated by Suzhou Prefecture for a hundred years. At this moment, they were piled together, and the "chiluo" was displayed naked in front of Fang Yingwu.
More than 100,000 taels of goods may not be extremely huge, but stacked together in such a high density, it is really dazzling and dazzling.
Fang Yingwu stood in the room, looking at the unfolded box and cage. Even though his concentration was amazing, he took several breaths to steady himself, and he couldn't help but say "Pearls are like earth, gold is like iron" in his mind.
I have to admit that Wang Jing has a good knack for searching. He only spent a month in Suzhou, during which time he made troubles on his own, but he had already obtained a lot of property by sucking out the marrow.
If he were allowed to run rampant in Jiangnan until the end of the year, it would be easy to get hundreds of thousands of taels, which would be enough to impress even the emperor.
In order to avenge her life, Madam Yuan stayed in the mansion (more specifically, Fang Yingwu's bedroom) and refused to leave. After hearing the news, Mrs. Yuan came to visit. She was dumbfounded and her eyes flashed when she saw this. She has accumulated a small amount of savings over the years.
But compared with what is in front of me, it is nothing but dust.
Fang Yingwu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Madam Yuan's eyes, "Don't be obsessed with money here, it won't be yours anymore!"
Mrs. Yuan murmured to herself: "How I want to hear a sentence - you said, let everyone know that I have contracted all these boxes and cages."
"That's fine!" Fang Yingwu turned to Fang Yingshi and said, "Take out all your belongings and keep them safe, and then give the box and cage to Mrs. Yuan!"
While they were joking, Wang Ying shouted in the courtyard: "Several local gentry gentlemen are visiting outside! From what they heard, it seems that they are here for the property extorted by the eunuchs."
Yuan Fengxiao chuckled, "Master Fang, they probably want to take their things back! They didn't have the guts to go to the eunuch before, but now they dare to bully you...
If you are a decent man, don’t send these belongings back in vain, and say domineeringly to them: You have contracted all these boxes and cages!”
