Three hundred and seventieth eight chapters tooth extraction
(12 o'clock)
Baodafang, Dongchang Hutong.
Compared with the short-lived West Factory in Lingji Hutong, which has experienced ups and downs and only has a history of more than ten years, the East Factory has experienced countless ups and downs since its founding in the 18th year of Yongle, but it has always stood firm. However,
, In the past eighty or ninety years, although Dongchang has been the most hated yamen by civil servants, the successive governors have always kept a low profile. Except for the rampant factory guards during the Chenghua period, Shang Ming, the admiral of Dongchang, was also as domineering as Wang Zhi.
In the end, there was no end. Most of the time, the governor of Dongchang could stop children crying at night by spreading rumors among the people, but his reputation was not revealed.
However, once Hongzhi became politically clear, factory guards were no longer as scary in the eyes of ordinary people as they were during the Chenghua period. Even on both sides of Dongchang Hutong, there were occasionally a few small stalls selling gadgets.
Dongchang Fanzi came and went without even bothering to chase them away, so someone boldly set up a tea shed at the corner of Dongchang Hutong and Andingmen Street. This was because free tea was provided to the captains who came and went from Dongchang every day.
Tea, no one came to chase him for a while. In addition, this place is close to Dengshi Alley, which was originally a gathering place for people. The business was actually booming.
On this day, as usual, there were many tea drinkers sitting at the tea stall. Seeing Dongchang Official School coming and going, someone said: "People from Dongchang come and go too frequently these days. In the past, there were still people sitting here.
, now there is not even a trace of a person there for several days in a row.”
"Why, Wang Laowu, do you still dare to drink tea at the same table with those evil stars?"
After this joke, the tea guests all around burst into laughter. Wang Laowu, who was being ridiculed, couldn't help it anymore. He put the big tea bowl on the table and said angrily: "If you don't dare, go ahead."
A general manager of the Cidong Factory sat at the same table as me, but he didn’t have two eyes and one mouth..."
"I'm sorry, Dong Factory is very busy these days because of Shouning Hou's affairs. Otherwise, if you come here and sit down here on weekdays, just look at it, there won't be anyone left in this tea shed, let alone
A table is available”
Speaking of Shouning Hou, there was a lot of discussion in the teahouse, but after all, it was a state matter, and the common people just muttered a few words and let it go. Just when Wang Laowu started the conversation, he was met with boredom and left a few copper coins angrily.
, and soon as he strode out, he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves, and immediately after, a group of twenty or thirty horsemen whizzed past Wang Laowu. The dust kicked up by the wind and lightning, coupled with the rare
The momentum made all the tea drinkers who were sitting in the tea tent stand up. More than a dozen people crowded in the narrow place at the door and looked around. Wang Laowu boldly took a few steps inside to see what was going on, but soon ran away in a hurry.
Come back.
"It's incredible, someone actually went to Dongchang."
This shout immediately caused an explosion in the tea shed. Immediately afterwards, some people jumped up and questioned the most outrageous news in the world. However, when he was dragged there by Wang Laowu who just had the courage to watch the excitement,
Bian went away for a while, and when he came back, his face was as white as paper. He swallowed hard and nodded heavily, saying: "I saw that right, someone really hit me, hit Dongchang...
"
"A good man with courage"
Although there was a good-hearted man who shouted something like this, more people looked at me and quickly chose to run away. Even the old man who opened the tea shed was afraid that the fight between gods and mortals would be affected, so he dealt with it as quickly as possible.
After the valuable guy was taken away, a car quickly drove away, leaving only the lonely tea shed in the same place. The tea guest who just shouted "good man" also woke up and walked away among the others.
.
Although these ordinary people did not dare to stay and watch the fun, the people who led the attack on Dongchang were determined and forgot all the consequences. At this moment, Zhang, who was carrying an eyebrow-level stick,
Zong said that when he saw those Dongchang fans being beaten and retreating, he shouted sternly: "Don't be afraid, rush in and find the person for me. Whoever finds the person first, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver."
, and if something happens in the future, I will cover all your family’s future expenses.”…
One thousand taels of silver
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, as long as a robber gets money, he will die. If he robs during the day, he will be beheaded if he hurts someone. Even if it is a theft, he will be hanged if he is a third offender. Such harsh punishments cannot stop people's pursuit of profit. Now Zhang Zong said
It was a thousand taels at the beginning. Even if those who came today had already been fed with money, they were all willing to risk their lives. In addition, Zhang Zong said that he had shown them the terrain of Dongchang Yamen in advance.
As shown in the picture, not long after, the first one broke into a room, followed closely by the second and third.
When the Dongchang gangsters saw Zhang Zong said that he personally carried the eyebrow-cutting stick into the courtyard and sat in charge, no one dared to really hurt the Shouning Hou Shizi, who had a different identity. Moreover, Wang Yue took the punishment of thousands of households and punished hundreds of people.
The household went out, and no one with dignity was there. The highest-status person present was Mr. Ma Qi. He could only shout and show off at the side. Seeing these big men like wolves and tigers, they turned the rooms into a mess.
.
Zhang Zong said that although he was arrogant, he saw time passing by little by little, and there were constant shouting and yelling in the room, but he never caught the person he wanted. Even though he stood up straight with a stick, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
He was extremely anxious. In the late autumn weather, there were beads of sweat on his forehead. Just when he could hardly bear the patience to wait any longer, he suddenly heard a sound like fairy music.
Yell.
"Caught, caught, he is here"
Following this shouting, Zhang Zong said that he saw many people coming out of other rooms and swarming in the direction of the words, as if they wanted to grab the credit, so he immediately shouted loudly: "Don't be such a loser.
If you are anxious, please escort Zheng San out to me. The rest will receive no credit but hard work. When they return, each of them will be rewarded with one hundred taels."
Hearing that there was also a reward, the rest of the people were a little reluctant to have their big heads snatched away, but since there was some compensation, they stopped one after another. Seeing a smug pockmarked-faced man coming out and grabbing a man who was covered in cuts and bruises, these people just came out.
Everyone's expressions changed, and Zhang Zongshuo strode forward and grabbed the man's hair. When he saw that it was his Zheng San, his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he immediately looked around at the Dongchang officials who were looking at each other.
Take a look at the school.
"Okay, very good. Shouning Hou Mansion has been tracking down this domestic slave who made my father take the blame. I didn't expect that Dongchang would take him down long ago without saying anything and torture him until he is like this."
When he got here, he sneered and said, "Get the people on the horses and let's go."
Seeing that Zhang Zong said that he really wanted to take the person away, Mr. Ma Qi, who was staying at the Yamen, just woke up from a dream. When he thought about this matter, his governor did not report it to the emperor, and now Zhang Zong said that he was coming to arrest the person.
If they were snatched away, the consequences of this matter would definitely be extremely serious. When he thought that all of them would be implicated, he immediately gave up, drew out the knife, held it high in his hand, and rushed out with a single stride.
He just stood in front of Zhang Zongshuo.
"Little Marquis, if you lead people to attack the Dongchang Yamen, this is already a fatal felony. Now you want to take away the key criminals of Dongchang. This is an added crime. I ask you, Little Marquis, to think twice."
"Think twice?" Zhang Zong said with a raised brow, and then shouted loudly, "It's just because I have been thinking twice before that I didn't think of you and didn't come here earlier."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyebrow-level stick in his hand suddenly went out, and the stick hit the right hand of Mr. Ma who was caught off guard, and the knife he was holding flew out, and he was hit.
The two spinners fell to the ground with a clang, and immediately he covered his right hand with a shocked face. He shouted loudly: "Listen all, follow me and rush out"...
Zhang Zong said that since Shouning Hou Shizi had risked his life, the others naturally followed behind him, dragging the half-dead Zheng San and rushed out of the Dongchang Yamen. Although some people tried to stop him, even though they were fighting with swords,
Sticks, but partly because of scruples and partly because of high morale, the victory or defeat can be imagined. When watching dozens of people in this group get on their horses and roar away, Mr. Ma Qi, who chased out of the Yamen with his hands on his wrists, looked confused for a moment.
Frustrated, it took a long time before he stamped his feet vigorously.
"Have you sent a letter to the prince?"
"Master Ma, everything was tightly guarded by these people just now. Although two of them climbed the wall to report the news, most of them..."
Before he finished speaking, someone shouted from behind: "Deng Da and Lao Hai were beaten unconscious."
I heard that the person who was sent out to report the news was knocked unconscious long ago. General Ma Qi felt his throat was sore. It took him a while before he said in a dry voice: "Stop talking, then go and report to the prince now."
letter"
"Master Ma, do you want to report to the Dongcheng Military and Horse Division, Shuntian Prefecture and Daxing County Government?"
"Those three yamen dare to interfere with the affairs of Crown Prince Shouning?" With one sentence, the proposal was blocked, and Mr. Ma sat down on the steps in front of the door slumped, muttering to himself, "But
Even if Shouning Hou Shizi is so courageous, how dare he go to the Dongchang Yamen to rob someone... No, how does he know that the person is at the Dongchang Yamen?"
Zhang Zong, who was regarded as daring, said that after galloping out of Dongchang Hutong and then heading south along Andingmen Street, his palms holding the reins were so sweaty that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
As for the throat, the whole person was frightened not to mention too many things.
Although he inherited his father's irritability and arrogance, and had been running rampant in the capital for a while, he could not even think about directly engaging in such a thing with the Governor of Dongchang, but he actually did it today. What if?
Wang Yue came back halfway. If other people who could control the situation were still there, or if they risked their lives to confront him, he didn't know if he would have the courage to persist. Fortunately, everything went as planned, and there were no mistakes or changes.
"God bless"
He just murmured something to himself, and a loyal servant next to him reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Dong'an Gate has arrived."
Zhang Zong said that he came back to his senses suddenly and saw that not far away was the Dong'an Gate with seven bays and three doors, yellow glazed single eaves on the top of the mountain. As soon as he reined in the reins, he looked to the left and right and said: "Get off the horse and escort the people over."
