Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 57
Zhu Yixi moved quickly, coordinating internally and externally. In an hour, he took down most of the mine in Longshouyuan and gathered thousands of miners.

"Sovereign, there is a lot of gold and silver."

Zhu Meng said excitedly.

"It must be some refined gold and silver, which has not been shipped out."

Zhu Yixi smiled and said, "Quick, collect them all for me."

"Obey!" Zhu Meng hurriedly responded and left quickly.

It's just that he underestimated the importance of the mine to the gentry.

Not long after he took over the mine, thousands of guards and servants came out of the city of Xi'an one after another, and there were even some participating in politics and affairs, gathering in groups.

"Sovereign, troops have been dispatched in Xi'an City."

At this moment, Sun Changzhou said in a panic.

"It's coming so fast!"

Zhu Yixi frowned, and couldn't help saying: "Let the army make an attack, prepare the flintlock, and aim at this group of people."

After giving the order, Zhu Yixi didn't delay, and went directly to the front of the formation, and met a group of people.

A group of eager gentry children.

After taking them to see Zhu Yixi, they were stunned for a while.

"Inspector Zhu, why are you here?"

The big households in the city were stunned one by one, they didn't expect to see him here.

"As soon as I was about to bury the corpse, I saw a red light in the distance, so I stopped by to take a look."

Zhu Yixi explained solemnly.

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, but they all don't believe it.

"The miners' riot has been suppressed."

Zhu Yixi said seriously: "Everyone, please rest assured, I will never let these people go, I will let them act as the first climbers, and kill their lives."

The 2000 people in front of them are waiting in battle, and seeing such a shameless appearance, many gentry are speechless.

People are taken away by you, so why open mines?

But this reason is more reasonable. .

"Inspector Zhu, thank you very much for your timely suppression, but only the leader of the bandit will be killed. The rest of the miners are still busy mining, so let us deal with it!"

"We will take credit for you in front of the governor."

At this time, a representative came out and said earnestly.

Behind him, there are dozens of gentry families standing, staring at him.

"It's a joke, brothers suppressed and sacrificed, these miners are already spoils of war, how can they be divided?"

Zhu Yixi said coldly, he didn't take this kind of trick, and he could spare someone with a lightly asked for credit?

"Inspector, these dozens of families have great influence in the court and localities, and they can decide official positions with one word!"

Sun Changzhou's face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly explained in a low voice.

"You are just a mere official, yet you are so presumptuous—"

The representative exploded with anger, and his chest heaved continuously. Such a petty official was simply audacious, and he didn't take them, the local emperor, seriously.

He glared and said:
"You have to think clearly, this trip will offend the entire Shaanxi Province. In the future, there will be no place for you in the huge Xi'an. Even Governor Sun will not be able to keep you."

"Huh!" Zhu Yixi was quite indifferent to this fox's pretentious power, and said with a cold snort: "Go and impeach me, as long as you can pass the 2000 people behind me."

The crowd mistakenly took the flintlock guns for blunderbusses, but the cold eyes of the soldiers and the dark muskets scared them into a cold sweat.

This guy, when did he have so many soldiers?

For a while, there was a stalemate.

"Inspector Zhu, what a majesty!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe came riding a horse, condescending and majestic.

Zhu Yixi took a closer look and was startled.

It turned out to be Feng Shikong, governor of Shaanxi.

He had expected trouble, but it turned out to be so big.

The thousands of defenders in Xi'an City are all in his hands now.

Feng Shikong came running out of breath, and with a shout of yelling, he gave the gentry great morale and a menacing aura that made people breathless.

All of them sneered, wanting to see his jokes.

Feng Shikong stared at the young official in front of him, thinking, if the old man hadn't been vigilant and went out to inspect the city, he would never have seen such a rude person.

The little Qiu Ba dared to be rude to the gentry and rob property, it was really audacious.

Under the eyes of everyone, Zhu Yixi did not rush, took out a letter from his bosom, and silently presented it to Master Feng, Kong Maqian.

"I want to see what kind of articles you write."

Feng Shikong sneered, took the letter, and read it carefully.

The gentlemen were puzzled.

"What is a little letter?"

"Even if it is an imperial decree, it cannot be fulfilled."

Everyone started discussing one after another, pointing fingers at the arrogant Zhu Yixi.

However, Feng Shikong looked at the letter and the governor's seal on the page, always a little unbelievable.

Doubt, suspicion, struggle, compromise...

"Since the miners are suppressed by you, they are naturally spoils of war."

Feng Shikong said a little dejectedly, and looked at the seal unwillingly, it was indeed the governor's seal.

Regardless of the dissuasion of the gentry, he waved his sleeves and turned his head resolutely.

In front of the powerful Sun Chuanting, he, the governor, is basically in charge of logistics, with little right to speak. How dare he disobey Sun Chuanting's orders?
What's more, it's just some miners who are dedicated to the country by suppressing thieves for the court.

"Ah, the national crisis is at stake, and the gentry can only be wronged."

Shaking his head, Feng Shikong left sadly.

"what is this?"

The gentry were stunned. The majestic governor was scared away by a letter.

And Zhu Yixi stared at Feng Shikong for a long time, seeing that he really gave up, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, his back was covered with cold sweat.

The imitated font, the real seal, is really amazing.

After a while, seeing Feng Shikong leave, Zhu Yixi hurriedly raised his head, his stern face was full of ridicule: "Do you still have any objections?"

"This--"

Seeing that the governor had left, everyone couldn't make up their minds for a while, obviously they didn't understand the situation.

Helpless, he could only watch the miners being pulled away with a cold eye, unable to stop them.

Zhu Yixi and [-] anti-epidemic soldiers walked away with [-] miners. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they were away for a while:

"These people are really earth emperors. There was an accident in the mine, and even the governor was invited out. Fortunately, I was prepared in advance."

Sun Changzhou on the side was also in a cold sweat, and he was relieved to see that he had successfully passed the test: "Inspector, what did you write in that letter?"

"It's just a few words from the governor."

Zhu Yixi said softly and complacently: "No matter how powerful Governor Feng is, can he still beat the governor?"

Sun Changzhou sighed in admiration, inspector Zhu was indeed the governor's confidant, and he was doing all these things, so it seemed that he was following the right person.

The gentry who stayed where they were, were extremely annoyed. When will this guy like a sesame mung bean bully them?

Zhu Yixi had another feeling: "It seems that this grenade is ready for actual combat, and my grenadier can also be formed."

"I'm going to chop him into pieces."

The crowd cursed angrily.

"Oops, the miners are gone, wouldn't the gold and silver be taken away by these gangsters?"

Suddenly, a certain big man thought of something and said in surprise.

In an instant, the gentry panicked, more anxious than a dead mother.
