Chapter six hundred and seventieth grand majesty Ling Qingwang
The officer who entered the door was just the identity of a Jinyiwei lieutenant. To put it bluntly, he was the most ordinary soldier at the grassroots level, but he spoke in front of two Beijing officials.
Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng are not of high quality, but they are well-known in the capital and can enter and exit the residences of the cabinet bosses and the six ministers. High officials everywhere should be polite when they see them. Although Gu Suli looks approachable, he is very reserved in his heart.
I was just talking about it and it seemed that the whole court was in my palm. I was suddenly scolded by a soldier of Jinyi Guard who came in! Time was stunned.
The words "close your mouth" and "going to the street to beg for dinner" are not much different from slapping in the face, let alone this identity is said in such a condescending attitude.
Gu Xiancheng reacted, his face suddenly turned red, he stood up from his seat, pointed his finger at the captain with a trembling hand, and said:
"Who are you!!! Who asked you to do this!!! Say this!!!?"
The Jinyiwei officer sneered and said:
"You can't understand what you said so clearly. Isn't it said by my Lord Wang and the commander of the Jinyiwei, Mr. Wang Tong, to the Tongzhi of the Jinyiwei."
Such a straightforward answer made Gu Xiancheng stunned again. Scholars are used to being in a circumstantial manner when they speak and think about things. Seeing that the other party is so confident, they have to think about why.
The Jinyiwei did not continue to get entangled with him, and turned to Li Sancai, who was sitting there to pass the imperial examination and asked:
"Mr. Li, these two managers are your servants!"
Although he didn't know why he asked this, Li Sancai subconsciously nodded. The Jinyiwei Captain turned to the second manager who was a little panicked and asked again:
"You went to Tianjin Wei to see it. The eight shops in your house are indeed closed! You have also gone to each one and asked, right?"
The manager who came from Li Sancai's home in Tongzhou also nodded, his face full of uncontrollable shock, thinking how the other party knew about his actions, the captain said to Li Sancai again:
"I'm afraid you don't believe it. Your shop in Tianjin ward will be closed. You believe it now!"
Li Sancai nodded in tact, and the captain said again:
"Do you know why you close your store?"
Li Sancai's face turned gloomy, but he didn't say a word. The captain said coldly:
"My adult said that there is no grudge in this world for no reason. You have repeatedly submitted memorials or incited them, which is not good for my adult. Now my adult is busy with official duties and has no time to argue with you. Turn off the shop first and give a lesson. If you don't repent, my adult will let your Li family not get a grain of salt and can't do a business!!"
Li Sancai's face became even more gloomy, but he didn't say a rebuttal. The rich Li family had a lot of relationship with the private sale of salt or the private sale of salt. The last time he attacked Wang Tong in the capital due to the incident of the Huwei Army, it was because Wang Tong went to Changlu Salt Field to investigate the private sale of salt.
Tianjin wu shops and salt goods business are all the sources of the Li family's money and the guarantee that he is now calling for the wind and rain. Now the store has been closed. If the line of private salt is strangled to death, he will immediately lose everything. If he has no money and becomes a poor official in the capital, it is hard to say whether Gu Xiancheng around him will be friendly with him.
Besides, why is it an official? Isn’t it just for money? Relying on money to become a bigger official, gain greater power, and then relying on this power and status to gain more benefits for yourself and your family. This is Li Sancai’s purpose in life. But now Wang Tong directly sent someone to warn him, which made Li Sancai panic.
In the political arena, the political fights, they all smile on the surface, stabbing the knife secretly and wielding the elbow. Moreover, civil officials scolded the generals. In the Ming Dynasty, civil officials demoted and scolded the generals. This is natural. No matter how unfair the generals are, they have to grit their teeth and bear it. If they scold them correctly, civil officials have made merits and wrong words, and one who speaks is not guilty.
No one expected that Wang Tong was so straightforward and did not tell you any official rules, and directly broke up and warned him, really caught Li Sancai off guard.
He did not stand up like Gu Xiancheng. Li Sancai was thinking about whether he had a chance to fight back, and could even take this opportunity to defeat Wang Tong. However, no matter what he thought, Li Sancai could not think of any way. Wang Tong could immediately make him go bankrupt and spit out all the money he earned, and even owed huge debts. As long as Wang Tong did this, he would not have the power to fight back and would not turn over again.
"Please bring a reply to Lord Wang. Li certainly did not mean to target Lord Wang. There may be misunderstandings in the past, and there will be no similar things in the future.
After being silent for a long time, Li Sancai spoke slowly, his voice a little astringent. Gu Xiancheng turned his head in shock, but saw Li Sancai's face fading, and his mind was completely gone.
"Oh? Can that little one bring these words to my elders?"
The captain asked again, and a hint of anger flashed across Li Sancai's face, but he still nodded slowly. The captain of the Jinyiwei bowed and bowed and said:
"Since that's the case, my grandfather still has a few words to tell Lord Li, how will Lord Li do in the future? My grandfather will observe his words and actions. If Lord Li wants to do what he wants to target my grandfather, think about what kind of ability he has, think about whether it is useful to just say it with his mouth and write it in his pen. I'm saying goodbye!"
Speaking of this, he bowed his fists, then turned around and left. There were several family members who were lying on their heads outside the door. When they saw the Jinyiwei coming out, no one dared to rent a stop, and they all flashed aside.
The lights in the room were swaying, but Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng sat there. The second manager on the ground even forgot to stand up and knelt there blankly.
"Why are you still standing there stupidly? All the heat in the room has dissipated. Close the door quickly!!"
In the end, Li Sancai shouted at the outside, and the at a loss made the decision as he did, and Li Sancai said coldly:
"Shut up all the things today. If anyone is out of the way, they will be beaten to death immediately, and the family will be sent to Miyun to guard the village!!"
The family members were silent and quickly agreed. After the door of the house was closed, Li San let out a long sigh and said to the two supervisors on the ground:
"You go back and tell the great master that the shop there will be open in a few days, so he won't be in a hurry!"
The second manager Mu Mu said "Oh" and then reacted, staring at Li Sancai in surprise. Li Sancai explained a little tiredly:
"Even if I can strangle this place there, I will have to make trouble for me to make a fuss. Since it is not a situation where I will never stop, this time it is just a warning. The shop can still be opened. If my father wants to ask, you can explain it according to this. If my father doesn't ask, you don't have to talk too much. You have nothing to do. Stay for one night and go back tomorrow!"
The second manager quickly got up and saluted, hurriedly walked out and closed the door. The door was closed, and only Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng were left in the room. Gu Xiancheng stood up with anger and roared in a low voice:
"Wang Tong's arrogant and domineering attitude has reached such a point. Brother Daofu, I will visit and ask for help from all over the capital. If you say that writing is useless, let the arrogant person see what it means to criticize and criticize, so that he knows that the capital's clear discussion can also kill people. Brother Daofu, let Wang Tong step on it. If the incident tonight is spread, how can you and I gain a foothold in the capital?"
Li Sancai had no expression on his face, but he just raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Xiancheng, and said calmly:
"How could it be spread in the inner house? You and I fight with Wang Tong to the death. If Your Majesty protects you, most of the matter will be left unresolved and you will lose all your money for your brother afterwards. What else can you do then? Do you think that without the reputation of being loyal to us? How many people will be friendly to us?"
After hearing what Li Sancai said, Gu Xiancheng was speechless. He just waited for someone to go out before he spoke in a low voice. Gu Xiancheng was just making a gesture, and only after seeing his attitude, Li Sancai told the truth.
"Brother Daofu, if you don't go to touch Wang Tong, then you and I will still..."
After a long silence, Gu Xiancheng asked again. Li Sancai grabbed a tea bowl in his hand, tapped it on the table a few times, threw it out suddenly, smashed it, took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice:
"There is always a place for us to do things. In the court, Shen Shixing and Zhang Xueyan were in the important position, but they were not Zhang Siwei's cliques..."
…………
The incident that came out of Li Sancai's mansion was not spread, and no one in the capital knew about it. However, Xu Guangguo found that the Qingliu, which was originally ready to move, suddenly became quiet. Even if someone gathered in the guild hall and ridicule in the poetry and essay meeting, it would not cause any storm.
More than 30 Qingliu were punished for deceiving the emperor that day. Although they were frightened and guarded, they also aroused their desire to share the same hatred of the enemy. As long as someone incited them, it would cause a stir. However, they did not expect that the undercurrent would surging for a few days and calm down silently.
To the north of the capital, less than three miles away from the city wall, there is a newly established village by the Chen family, the Chen family, who occupied a large area and used to raise cattle and horses. However, on the 9th day of the second month, the Chen family arranged for people to use horses to pull the mills and press the ground of the village. The places that can be leveled are flat, but if this is done, the grass will not grow well. The old handkerchiefs on the village are all scolding and saying that they are bad and bad.
Early on the morning of February 12th, the city gate had just opened. Wang Tong led his personal guards out of the city and came to this village. A wooden platform was erected to the west of the Zhuangzi grassland. Chen Sibao, who is now a guerrilla in the Beijing camp, was waiting here early. The farm prepared dry food soup and welcomed Wang Tong to have breakfast first.
