The person who came was none other than Ruan Dacheng, the chief minister of Chongwen Temple in Nanjing.
Wang Yingjiao didn't have a good impression of Ruan Dacheng, who had deserted the Donglin Party and turned to Fang Shihong, so he only asked coldly: "What are you doing here?"
Ruan Dacheng hurriedly raised his hands and said with a smile: "The official is naturally here to contribute to the imperial court's recovery of the tax. In your majesty's words, it is to do a good job in guiding people and letting the people know the goodwill of the imperial court in doing so. Don't let villains take advantage of it." He slandered the imperial court and even encouraged the unsuspecting people in Jiangnan to cause trouble."
Dong Qichang didn't know that Ruan Dacheng had defected to Fang Shihong, and thought that Ruan Dacheng was still a member of his Donglin Party.
Therefore, Dong Qichang quickly cried: "Ruan Gong!"
Then, Dong Qichang cried to Ruan Dacheng: "You are here, woo woo!"
Then, Dong Qichang said: "If you had been one step later, I would have died. Wang Gong is so iron-fisted that I dare not disobey him, so I can only let him bully me! I can even only watch helplessly as he orders the generals to kill him. But I don’t dare to say a word!”
"However, my Dong family has always been law-abiding. As you know, there has never been any talk of owing taxes and grains to the court. The so-called debts and grains owed to the court are just framed by a treacherous villain! But Mr. Wang did not listen to the old man's excuse and insisted on demanding bribes from him. , Old Man refused, so he killed Old Man's son, and there was no way to appeal for Old Man's grievances. Now he can only make his determination clear with death, and hope that Duke Ruan will avenge Old Man's grievances to the court on behalf of Old Man! Woo hoo!"
Said.
Dong Qichang shouted: "The old man is gone!"
Then, Dong Qichang ran towards the pillar, but he also looked back at Ruan Dacheng, waiting for Ruan Dacheng to hug him and prevent him from hitting him.
Ruan Dacheng actually hugged him: "Mr. Dong, you have something to say, why bother!"
Wang Yingjiao was a little confused when he saw this, and didn't know what to say for a while.
He did not expect that he had good intentions and stopped Man Gui. He did not ask Man Gui to kill everyone in the Dong family on the grounds that the Dong family was treason. He only killed Dong Zuhe who refused to pay taxes, so as to frighten everyone in the Dong family and force Dong Qichang Pay your taxes obediently.
But he didn't expect that Dong Qichang would bite him back after Ruan Dacheng arrived. Not only did he say that he had framed his Dong family, but he also claimed that he had demanded bribes.
Wang Yingjiao suddenly felt that he was too naive.
"Budang, why don't you let the general kill all these idiots?!"
Man Gui couldn't stand it anymore.
He was actually a little dissatisfied with Wang Yingjiao's politeness to the Dong family, but now that he saw that Dong Qichang not only was not grateful to Wang Yingjiao for not directly confirming that the Dong family was rebelling, but also blamed Wang Yingjiao and framed the Dong family, he began to feel some sympathy for him. I was the boss, so I just asked.
After all, Man Gui also felt that Dong Qichang was too dishonest.
Wang Yingjiao stopped Man Gui and said: "Dong Qichang mistakenly looked at Ruan Dacheng."
Sure enough, as Wang Yingjiao expected, Ruan Dacheng just smiled and said to Dong Qichang: "Dong Gong, what you said is wrong, how could Wang Gong frame you? Wang Gong is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Governor of Xichang. This time, he has been ordered by His Majesty. As a great agricultural officer, he personally went to the south of the Yangtze River to collect the annual taxes, and he first found out the evidence of tax arrears before letting people from the West Factory come to collect the taxes. If Mr. Wang was not fair, there would be no justice in the world. I'm an official, what do you think?"
Dong Qichang looked at Ruan Dacheng in astonishment, and suddenly asked loudly: "Ruan Tongcheng! Are you still my Donglin gentleman! What are you talking about! The dog's body is here, can't you see it?!"
As Dong Qichang spoke, he glared fiercely at Wang Yingjiao, Man Gui and other Xichang tax supervisors. He thought that Ruan Dacheng was still his Donglin civil servant and could help him get justice. In addition, he saw the son he had doted on since childhood being killed. Somewhat irrationally, he raised his finger and pointed at Wang Yingjiao and others and shouted: "I want them to pay for my son's life! I want their whole family to die!"
Dong Qichang roared at the top of his lungs.
Snapped!
Ruan Dacheng slapped Dong Qichang directly.
"Dong! Do you know what you are going to say? I have always been loyal to the court and never formed any clique for personal gain. You should not slander me like this. You are not a gentleman of Donglin. This Ruan Dacheng is sworn in with the traitors of Donglin!"
Ruan Dacheng then yelled at Dong Qichang loudly.
Because he had to yell to others to prove that he was not a Donglin Party member.
After all, Dong Qichang actually mentioned his Donglin Party identity just now, but the problem is that he is no longer a Donglin Party member, so he must prove his innocence now!
After hearing what Ruan Dacheng said, Dong Qichang couldn't laugh or cry, and his eyes became confused.
Ruan Dacheng took advantage of this and said: "If you continue to be stubborn and insist on resisting taxes and going against the court, let alone the people in Xichang cannot tolerate you, even I will intervene in you, expose you, and expose your stubbornness and arrogance. Tell the world about your side!"
Man Gui couldn't understand the performance of these two people, so he couldn't help but touch the back of his head.
Wang Yingjiao couldn't help laughing.
Then, Wang Yingjiao asked Dong Qichang: "My surname is Dong, now you want me to pay for your son's life, you want to kill my whole family, and you still want to resist the tax to the end?"
Dong Qichang touched his acrid face and knelt down again honestly: "Don't dare! The old man made a mistake, Mr. Wang, please have a lot of money and don't argue with the old man, a country fool! I will let someone take you there." Go to the warehouse!"
Wang Yingjiao now completely lost his affection for Dong Qichang, so he also changed his name for Dong Qichang, and he couldn't help but say: "It's true that I can't shed tears until I see the coffin! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought that you guys in Donglin would also do it." It’s what they said!”
Wang Yingjiao left here after saying that.
And next.
Dong Qichang looked at Ruan Dacheng, glared, and asked: "Ruan Dacheng, you treacherous villain, when did you betray me, Donglin?!"
Ruan Dacheng slapped Dong Qichang again on the spot, and he was really angry.
He wished he could cut Dong Qichang's tongue now.
Because now he doesn't want others to know that he has been close to Donglin officials and even supported the Donglin Party's ideas.
After all, Ruan Dacheng knew that it was the Fang Party that gained power in the DPRK, and there was even talk of the Dafang Party and the Xiaofang Party, but no matter which party it was, it had already surpassed the Donglin Party in power!
Among them, although the Dafang Party has the smallest number of people, it controls important positions in the Ming Dynasty. They are all veterans and important ministers. The chief assistants, provincial governors in charge of heavy military forces, and the six ministers are almost all dominated by the Dafang Party;
Although Fang Shihong, the leader of the Xiaofang Party, was only a fourth-rank official of Chongwen Temple, he united almost all the civil servants of the Qichu Party. He could compete with the Donglin Party in terms of public opinion, and even surpassed the Donglin Party in controlling public opinion in the north.
Therefore, when Ruan Dacheng hears other people saying that he has had sex with the gentlemen of Donglin before, he becomes very angry.
Ruan Dacheng had no choice but to scold Dong Qichang loudly and righteously: "Dong! You can't talk nonsense. I have never formed a party, such as the Donglin Party. I have never joined any Donglin Party. I have always been a member of the Donglin Party." Those who are loyal to Your Majesty, my loyalty can be demonstrated by the sun and the moon, but if you want to talk about the party, then I am only an imperial party!"
