Chapter 407 Collusion between officials and businessmen
In fact, Luo Hengluotou took the lead in a bit of haste, and this situation really happened suddenly for him.
Without any warning, Qin Dewei started a crazy attack on his hidden character, Luo.
What also makes Luo Heng a little confused is that he clearly has an informant in Jiangning County Government.
Therefore, whenever there is a big move at the county government, the spy will inform him in advance. But why didn't he receive any news today? Could it be that the spy is malfunctioning?
However, Leader Luo didn't have time to think too much, and his top priority was to escape to a safe place quickly.
Standing at the back door and looking out, he saw a deserted alley. Instead, Luo Heng chuckled a few times: "What an idiot. Didn't you think of arranging people at the back door?"
He brought a dozen or so servants with him, and he was still thinking of fighting them out, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't send anyone to block the back door at all. It would be easier, just run away.
After rushing out of the alley again, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Where are you going, traitor Luo Heng!"
Leader Luo looked up and saw a young man standing diagonally opposite at the foot of the wall not far away. Who else could he be if he wasn't Qin Dewei?
Looking at Qin Dewei, there were only four or five people around him. Leader Luo was jealous and was thinking about whether to strike first.
At this time, Qin Dewei took out a bamboo whistle and blew it as hard as he could. The sharp whistle passed through the streets and spread far away.
Even a fool can see that this is a signal to greet his companions! Leader Luo stopped worrying and retreated first instead of competing with the crazy people!
After leaving the people behind, Leader Luo continued to run away. Listening to Qin Dewei's angry and cursing behind him, Leader Luo just wanted to laugh.
The angrier the enemy is, the more it means he is doing the right thing.
Turning from the alley onto Sanshanmennei Street, Leader Luo felt relieved for the time being. The bustling streets were always safer than the small alleys.
At this time, a group of people suddenly came out from the west, they all looked like government servants, shouting: "Mr. Luo of Shanshan Guild Hall, don't leave!"
Luo Heng was originally hesitating about which direction he should run, but now he no longer had to worry about it, he could only go east!
Although the government officials couldn't catch up, they didn't give up. They kept chasing him and kept shouting along the way.
The layout of Nanjing city is completely different from that of the capital. The imperial city is not in the middle of the city, but to the east, close to the east city wall.
Therefore, the ministry offices and eunuch offices were also located in Dongcheng, and most of the corresponding supporting residences were also in Dongcheng.
The leader of the Western merchants, General Manager Luo of the Shanshan Guild Hall, fled all the way eastward, but was never caught up.
If he ran away, he would be able to see the imperial city, and his destination would be almost there.
Outside Xi'an Gate, there is an area that belongs to the residence of the Nanjing Ministry of War, including the residence of Grand Sima Liu Long.
Luo Heng knew that as long as he escaped into Da Sima's house, he would be safe immediately! This was his plan!
No matter how crazy Qin Dewei is, he would not dare to directly attack Da Sima! That is a serious crime!
Any county government ticket is just a waste of paper in front of Da Sima. Any strong man in the government office is just a chicken or a dog in front of Da Sima!
This is the political privilege of the highest civil servant in Nanjing!
Seeing that they were only a stone's throw away from the official residence of the Minister of War, a group of government servants appeared from nowhere and shouted in unison: "Luo Hengxiu of Shanshan Guild Hall, please leave!"
Leader Luo was slightly surprised. Could it be that the other party had already expected this and set up an ambush here?
So he shouted to the door of Shangshu's official residence from a distance: "Masters at the door, help me!"
Luo Heng often went in and out of Liu Shangshu's house. All the servants of the Liu family knew Luo Heng and knew that he was a close friend of his master and that they had been planning big things together recently.
Immediately, several servants came out, followed Luo Heng and walked into the gate.
The group of ambushed government officials rushed over, but the healthy servants brought by Luo Heng and Liu Jiahao's slaves worked together, but they beat the government officials and fled.
Standing at the gate of Liu's house, Luo Heng felt at ease.
Thinking back on it, the sudden attack by the other party today was quite dangerous. Fortunately, I responded quickly.
Then gradually, a large number of government officials gathered outside the gate of the official residence of the Minister of War. Looking out from the gate, the alley was filled with darkness.
They also carried a few government officials who had been injured just now and placed them in the middle outside the gate.
The disciples of the Liu family were dumbfounded and blocked the door of the Minister of War's house. Is this crazy?
Luo Heng didn't know why, but he felt insecure again, so he urged his disciples: "Go and report to your master quickly to get rid of these idle people!"
Menzi said helplessly: "But the master is not in Nanjing."
Luo Heng: ""
He suddenly felt that the official residence was not a safe house, but rather a cage trapping him.
At some point, Qin Dewei appeared outside the gate, holding a strange-shaped paper roll in his hand, pointing it to his mouth, and shouted towards the gate of the mansion:
"I would like to inform everyone in the mansion that you have been surrounded. Please stop shielding, severely punish the murderer, and hand over Luo Heng!"
This time there were people blocking every door, and Luo Heng couldn't even get his message out, so he had no way to deal with the situation outside.
He had never thought that Liu Long was not in Nanjing before. Why didn't Liu Da Sima inform him in advance that he was leaving Nanjing?
As long as Liu Da Sima is still in Nanjing City and appears here, nothing will be a problem outside! How dare they collide with Da Sima!
At this time, the government officials outside suddenly shouted in unison: "Collusion between government and businessmen! Collusion between government and businessmen! Collusion between government and businessmen!"
To be honest, if Qin Dewei hadn't personally been here to control the situation, these government officials might have run away in fear.
Besides, those who can serve as disciples of powerful people must be shrewd people. The disciples of the Liu family immediately sensed that something was wrong.
In full view of the public, Luo Heng hid in the Liu family when something happened, and the Liu family did not hesitate to fight with other yamen officials to protect people, and if they made such a big fuss, then it was really possible that they were considered collusion between government and businessmen.
!
The official in charge of suppressing the ground in the streets in the capital was the censor of the city. When he heard such a big noise, the censor of Dongcheng who was patrolling the streets rushed to the scene with archers.
He saw Qin Dewei and dozens of government officials from a distance, then looked at the gate of the official residence of the Ministry of War, and cursed in his heart, this is such an unfortunate thing!
When Qin Dewei saw the team of censors patrolling the city, he shouted loudly: "Well done, sir! Please give me a helping hand!"
The censor of Dongcheng is cursing in his heart, why should I help you? Help dozens of government officials attack the official residence of the Minister of War?
Qin Dewei didn't want to embarrass others, so he added: "If this gentleman doesn't want to take care of it, just leave!"
The censor of Dongcheng was still cursing in his heart. If he saw it and pretended not to see it, wouldn't it be a blatant dereliction of duty?
Qin Dewei became a little impatient: "Then what do you want, sir?"
The censor of Dongcheng shouted to Qin Dewei: "Then what does this matter have to do with you!"
Qin Dewei said calmly: "Although I am just a passing scholar, I really can't stand it, so I helped and shouted a few times. As the saying goes, people in the world are in charge of the affairs of the world."
