Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 85: Scrap it with a knife!

Chang Mao looked at Su Xian below and nodded.

But there was dissatisfaction and expectation in his eyes.

yesterday.

After they played that game, they all went back to tell their family bosses.

Chang Fu died of illness in Chang Yuchun, and his eldest daughter became the Crown Princess.

Apart from the royal family, he is already the highest-ranking noble.

The person in charge of the family now is none other than the Lan family.

The Lan family was known as the "Lion Roaring from the East of the River". He was domineering and strong. When Chang Yuchun was alive, no one at home would dare to disobey him. Naturally, they, their sons, would not dare to do so.

original……

Chang Mao thought that after he told someone what happened in the palace, his mother would not agree and would even give him a harsh lesson.

however!
  He never expected that just after he said these words, his mother would be very decisive and even wrote a letter herself... not a memorial!
  But a letter from home!

In the letter, he first talked about the past of his father, Chang Yuchun, and then said that the palace's current honor and honor had been given too much by your majesty. If he could contribute to the Ming Dynasty, the Chang family would do its best.

In addition, my mother even intentionally or unintentionally wanted her two younger brothers to get involved and not join the army.

As for herself, she was also strict in her letter, even if she was not in the military, it was still excellent!
  At that time, Chang Mao clearly saw his mother's relieved expression, as if she had let go of something.

But Chang Mao firmly disagreed with this. He just wanted to make a career in the army, and it was best to achieve his own achievements like his father Chang Yuchun!
  Nowadays, although the Chang family is rich, their influence in the military is almost non-existent. Seeing that the children of other families are so impressive, it makes no sense for the Chang family to just pick up that piece of wealth.

In response, my mother shook her head and told him many allusions to her relatives in history, trying to wake her up.

If you are not in the army, you will be rich and famous, so that your family can last forever!

But Chang Mao remained silent.

He knew it, but he didn't want to do it.

He said the same thing to His Majesty today, but His Majesty's response made him very uncomfortable.

"You're a brat who only knows how to be reckless. You're the most famous dandy in the capital. Are you going to fight? You can be a pioneer, but you can't be a handsome man!"

Of course he was not convinced.

Then, the emperor pointed at him and asked him to follow him to the "Yingtian Mansion Office" to see how his head grew.

As for Su Xian, he really admired her.

After all, the sons of Xu Huizu and Deng Yu's family who came today, as well as Mu Sheng, Fu Zhong and other noble sons from Su Xian's "small class" would not disagree with anything they discussed with their families.

Regarding the bank matter, it can be said that the royal family of the Ming Dynasty and the noble families have reached some kind of agreement.

But "Su Xian", who was the proposer, "didn't touch his body" and instead muttered that he wanted to come here and put on a show!

With this in mind, I look forward to more.

Boom!
  dong dong...

The sound of beating the drum of injustice suddenly sounded rhythmically in his hands.

This astonishing operation naturally attracted many people near the government office to come and surround him.

"Who beats the drum? What's the grievance?"

At this moment, a sharp shout sounded from the door.

However, Chang Sen seemed to be addicted to knocking, and the sound of "dong dong" was endless, and he even hit the rhythm as if it was a joke.

"Be bold!"

As a burly figure stepped across the threshold, Chang Mao still did not let go, but continued to knock.

This way, it naturally attracts more people.

You know, in the eyes of the people yesterday, this government office just grasped the promotion of "doing things for the people", which was the hot topic of discussion in the market.

They even prepared for the next interrogation and came to watch.

But I didn't expect that the next day...

"Why does it look like it's causing trouble?"

The people watching gradually realized that something was wrong.

"It seems that he just came here to cause trouble. This is a general judge. The magistrate's subordinate is in charge of prisons and lawsuits! Isn't this person complaining? Everyone is here, why don't you let go?"

"You are so brave. Do you want to eat a killing stick?" The visitor looked at Chang Mao's back and shouted angrily: "Come here, please escort this beast into the main hall!"

"Yes!"

Soon, four or five government officials rushed forward to snatch the drumstick from his hand and then escort him into the lobby!
  "Go away! Who dares to escort Mr. Mao?"

As the son of a famous nobleman throughout the Ming Dynasty, Chang Mao turned around and suddenly roared.

This Qian Tongpan immediately recognized him as an acquaintance!
  He immediately stretched out his palms to tell everyone to step back.

He then put on a smile and said, "So it's Duke Zheng? Get out of here quickly!"

"I wonder if Duke Zheng has nothing to do today and is not going to ride his horse to hunt. Why are you beating this drum? This is the drum of people's sentiments. The Holy Spirit attaches great importance to it. If you really have nothing to do..."

"Fart! I can beat this drum, so why am I idle? Boy, do you still want to beat it?"

"Keep knocking for me!"

"See clearly, we are knocking for others, haha..."

While talking...

Chang Mao immediately started talking about the drumsticks, as if he were marching to war. The sound of the drums sounded less like a grievance than an attack.

"This...this, this, this..."

The visitor was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Su Xian and then at Chang Mao.

"What is this for?"

Su Xian looked behind him and found that more and more people were coming here, but it was not enough.

It is still too little to cause a sensation in the entire capital.

"Keep knocking!"

Su Xian clapped his hands, almost wanting to beat Chang Mao!

"Haha... OK!" Chang Mao became more and more comfortable, and the sound of "dong dong" continued to sound.

The people looked more and more dumbfounded, but as word spread, the sensation in the government office spread at an unimaginable speed...

……

The inner courtyard of the government office
  "Who is playing the drum?" Magistrate Lin Yide was still lying on the bed. He felt like he was sick. He had been feeling cold since yesterday and couldn't get out of bed.

At this moment, the beating of the drum kept me awake, and I immediately complained.

"Without this office, wouldn't Du Tongzhi and Qian Tongxuan be able to handle the case?"

"Lang Lang, it seems to be Mr. Mao?"

"Huh?" Lin Yide lay back on the bed, "It's okay then, let him knock."

"But what can it be?"

"It seems like it was for a child?"

"Huh?" Lin Yide sat up and thought for a moment. After a while, hesitation burst out on his face.

"For a child? Someone who has contact with the Chang Mansion...his! Could it be that Qilinzi?"

He stood up quickly, but thought of something...

He couldn't help but hurriedly lay down on the bed again, "Tell them that I am infected with wind and cold and am unconscious. I'm afraid I need to call a doctor!"

……

Zhang Mansion!

"Sheren, I heard that the grievance drum has been ringing in the Yingtian Mansion Office. It was Chang Mao who led a child there! I'm afraid it's Su Xian!"

Cui Jin has been paying attention to the affairs of Yingtian Mansion, and in the past few days, he found that Guo Hanwen, a doctor of Chinese studies, did not go to teach for a day, but instead followed this scholar all day long.

Even came earlier than him!

"What's the point of beating a drum? Such a big thing has happened this time. I'm afraid the foolish boy may have naively thought that Mr. Qingtian in the court can redress his father's grievances!"

"But it's time to let him know that this is not a grievance, but the bigger the trouble he makes, the more out of control it becomes! When the time comes... his father will inevitably die to apologize!"

"Maybe we should also thank him for his help during this period."

Zhang Guance was very confident that the matter of Baochao's examination was well known to everyone.

Your Majesty does not want to exchange money!
  After all, the free money and the substantial Hongwu Tongbao are all real money, and only treasure banknotes can be printed at will.

As long as you understand this, you will know that His Majesty must punish Su Guiyuan as soon as possible! Serve as a warning to others!
  "In that case, Toneri! I've thought of a good idea."

At this time, Guo Hanwen opened his eyes wide, "We can help him again, isn't he going to make trouble in the capital? Your Majesty is too late to pay attention to it now."

"Hehe... I happen to have some students, why not let them go out and publicize this sad and tearful story?"

"His father was upright and exchanged banknotes for the common people, but he was framed..."

"There happened to be a six-year-old child who, in order to save his father, complained about his injustice and beat the drum. It was deeply touching... But the prefect of Yingtian was a corrupt and evil official. He imprisoned his father and even had to beat him into submission. The civil and military officials of the entire court , no one came to help..."

As he spoke, Guo Hanwen seemed to be in a creative mood, and a classic story template was about to appear.

Cui Jin frowned when he heard this, "Sheren, doesn't this raise his reputation? We are here to punish him, and we already said it was his fault!"

"Elm bumps! This is the consequence of not studying!"

Guo Hanwen's face was full of contempt.

"The louder our voices among the people are in praising and complaining about it. When the time comes... think about what it means?"

"How dare Su Guiyuan open a bank without authorization and exchange banknotes for the people? If his reputation becomes more and more famous, will there be big trouble?"

"The bigger the commotion gets, the higher ups won't be hesitating like they are now. They will just speed up the execution. This way, we can avoid long nights and dreams!"

"We call this... flattery and killing!"

Hearing this, Zhang Guance couldn't help but smile, "Okay! Reading more is really useful. This is a good idea!"

"In that case, let's do this..."

Zhang Guance clapped his hands and praised with a smile.

Guo Hanwen suddenly raised his head, but Cui Jin looked jealous.

Scholars are very discerning!
  "Then my subordinate is leaving now!"

As he spoke, Guo Hanwen laughed and left suddenly.

"Subordinate?" Cui Jin suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Guance, "Sheren, isn't he a fifth-grade doctor?"

Zhang Guance patted his shoulder.

"The doctorate is weak, so you should try your best!"

"This..." Cui Jin instantly understood what was going on.

Just say that this person has been by Shiren's side for the past two days. Is he competing with me for position?

"You should be careful with Sheren. Don't tell me that he has someone else! I, Cui Jin, have not been working for free in the past few years."

"Give Su Guiyuan a virtuous name? I will make him virtuous throughout the capital!"

While talking.

Cui Jin also left in a hurry...

"idiot!"

Looking at the two people leaving, Zhang Guance couldn't help but smile.

But stupid people also have advantages, such as doing things like this very easily. Guo Hanwen did have one thing right.

The greater your reputation, the sooner you will die!
  ……

Yingtianfu Yamen.

now.

There are more and more people.

Seeing such a sensational scene, Su Xian couldn't help but nod secretly.

"Say boy, our arms are not made of iron, can we stop?"

Chang Mao was panting.

"Okay!" Su Xian nodded.

Chang Mao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I can't do it anymore, we're exhausted."

"I said... Mr. Mao, can you leave as soon as you finish knocking?"

As the title of "Taiye" created in the capital, many people did not want to mess with this dandy.

"What's the rush? There's still business to be done!"

Su Xian knew it was time for him to play.

He shouted immediately. The penetrating power of the child's voice was already strong, but now he shouted loudly.

"My father, Su Guiyuan, was originally the Treasurer and Treasurer. When I was first appointed as Treasurer, I just followed the rules and helped the people exchange their treasure!"

"But I don't want to offend the treacherous minister. I want to punish my father for his ulterior motives, using his talents to gain fame, disturbing the people, taking power and going against the superiors, etc.!"

"It's just an exchange of treasure money, and it's done in accordance with the clear rules. It's the fellow villagers who are helping... but it will be punished by death!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu What is my father's crime?"

Su Xian shouted, his voice seemed to be broken, and even his shouting voice had the sound of a child's cry, like the wail of a young animal.

Make people feel emotional when they hear it.

"Damn it, I wanted to curse someone yesterday! Not guilty!"

At some point, an angry shout suddenly sounded from the crowd!

"Yes...not guilty!"

The next moment, more voices were shouted.

"Not guilty! Not guilty!"

The human voice surges into waves, one wave higher than the other!
  Seeing this scene, the magistrate of the government office immediately stared in shock and anger.

"What are you doing?"

"Is it because of this matter? My government office cannot make the decision on this matter."

Just drive them out.

"Since he is not guilty, he must be released!"

"Damn it!" The general judge yelled angrily and looked to both sides. Of course the officers knew what it was and quickly closed the door!

"This case is not being tried by the government, there will be an order issued!"

After finally closing the door, his voice came out in a hissing voice.

Su Xian saw this.

First, he touched his face, which felt like he was wiping away tears.

"My child, there is no such truth in the world. Don't worry, we will definitely help you!"

"Yes! This treasure banknote cannot be exchanged. We have been resentful for a long time. Finally, we have a good official who works for the people, but he is framed by these corrupt officials!"

"I bother!"

"Don't worry, kid, we will work hard in one place and use our strength in one place... When the Holy Emperor hears this, he will be furious and will chop these corrupt officials into pieces!"

"Thank you uncles and aunts!" Su Xian raised her head, her childish voice making people cry.

"I will come again tomorrow!" he shouted again.

"Okay! Good boy, there are still too few people who know today! Let's help you too!"

"Yes! Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it! Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said this. Today we make decisions for the people and kill corrupt officials, so don't worry!"

Someone yelled loudly and angrily: "Brothers, sisters, neighbors, we must spread this matter even if it is for ourselves this time!"

"Yes! There is strength in numbers!"

As he said this, the crowd became more and more excited.

I shouted to everyone several times.

Su Xian then left the scene, while Chang Mao looked on stunned.

As "insiders", they were ordered to run between two families during this period, and any contact with outsiders required "approval from above."

Maybe there were people from the pro-military Captain's Mansion watching right next to them.

He knew that Su Xian was acting, but he didn't expect that such a young child seemed to really blend into it just now. Even he was moved...

"I'm afraid that's enough for now, right?"

Chang Mao murmured:
  "Not enough! It's still early!" Su Xian said a few words.

Soon, after returning home, my mother heard about it and was so moved that she almost cried.

After Su Xian rested for the night, he was ready to go the next day...

Yingtianfu Yamen’s grievance drum sounded again!

This time.

When he went there, the entire government office entrance was already full of people.

Su Xian was a little surprised, why did this spread faster than he expected.

but……

After continuing the repetitive process from the first day.

soon……

Newcomers are more and more moved!

Words like corrupt officials and indiscriminate officials are already on our lips.

But Su Xian still felt dissatisfied...

at last……

Day three!
  When he came again, he found that things were indeed beyond his expectation.

Even... far beyond my expectations!

"When the Ming Dynasty was founded, the Holy One once said that virtuous ministers are rare! Now, I, the virtuous minister of the Ming Dynasty, are still here, asking for orders for the people!"

"As students of Guozixue, what we study is the divine grace, and what we see is the world! The youngest son is complaining! How sad and angry?"

"There are treacherous ministers in the court who are rebelling against the party and insulting virtuous gentlemen! It can be said that the conduct of ministers has been ruined!"

"Start the trial!"

"The trial begins! The trial begins!"

Su Xian took a quick look and saw a group of students in white clothes standing in the center of the crowd shouting!
  They even wrote a cursive letter and announced it to the people, so that the crowd became more and more angry!
  Where did these people come from?

Even Chang Mao, who has been following you these past few days, is dumbfounded?

Young and energetic, the group of people studied by Guozi were elites selected from various places in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was founded and the Han Dynasty was re-established.

This is when these people are at their most emotional and intense.

How come they were alerted?
  however.

If that's the case, that's it.

Chang Mao and Su Xian were even more shocked.

But it's the other side.

It carried an aura that seemed to be overwhelming and murderous. Although they were standing in no particular formation, some even had missing limbs and legs!

There were even fewer people than that group of students.

But just where they stand makes people afraid to approach them!
  "Damn!"

"Su Tiju suffered because of us!"

"When we fought for the Ming Dynasty, some of you dog officials were still lying at the feet of the Yuan people! Were there any old officials of the Yuan court who I personally captured at the time!"

"Now you continue to persecute Su Tiju?"

“It’s unforgivable!”

"If you don't open the door, I'll open it myself!"

Su Xian was stunned.

Looking at the sea of ​​people in front of him, how could it be so much more serious than he imagined?
  "It's over, let's take it off!"

……

"If you want to give up, that's Su Xian!"

On the other side, Guo Hanwen pointed in the direction of Su Xian and introduced him to the people next to him.

"Hmph! Ignorant child, I'm afraid he naively thinks that his father will be saved?" Zhang Guance sneered.

"I deliberately spread the word about this student. This group of people are young and energetic, and they are the most susceptible to being infected by this!" Guo Hanwen took credit.

Cui Jin, who was standing next to him, saw this and said quickly: "Sheren, I'm the one who passed on those old soldiers."

"Okay, okay! You all did a great job." Zhang Guance smiled at first, then a hint of worry appeared randomly: "But...is such a big public sensation a bit too much?"

He didn't know why, but he felt suddenly uneasy.

If the Holy Spirit goes back on his word.

impossible! As soon as the idea came up, Zhang Guance shook his head violently. How could the Holy One give up the treasure? And compromise with Su Guiyuan?

Then he is not Emperor Hongwu!
  He is a ruthless person who would rather kill hundreds of officials than create empty seals!
  Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly looked into the distance. He suppressed his uneasiness and laughed...

At this point, finally!
  A fast horse is coming at a gallop!

"The Holy Emperor decrees..."

In an instant, everyone looked up and saw a figure skidding down from the horse.

Then he quickly walked through the gap and arrived in front of the government office.

Open the edict.

He shouted directly: "I have heard about the recent events in the capital!"

"Is there such a law-breaking and rebellious person in our Ming Dynasty?"

"Check! The Third Division is here to check!"

"But if there are thieves who dare to harm the people, they should be beaten with a knife!"

　I have something to do today, so I will update a big chapter first and then update it in the evening.

　　Originally this chapter was over, but in the end there was still another chapter.

　　That’s pretty much the story of Bao Chao today.
