The soldiers from Feng Quan's subordinate camp immediately chased after them and killed the troubled villagers.
"ah!"
A villager was shot by a bow and arrow in the hands of a battalion soldier. He screamed on the spot and fell into the field. Blood spread along the arrow shaft.
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers became even more panicked and ran around in a hurry.
"Oh my God! What's happening? I just want to get some of Mr. Gu's reward. How come these officials are actually killing people!"
As a result, a villager shouted: "Run!"
boom!
boom!
boom!
Gunshots also continued to sound.
Like setting off firecrackers.
The rioting villagers were suppressed one after another.
Screams came and went.
Even the bearer carrying Gu Yongcheng's sedan chair felt weak in his legs and became so panicked and frightened that the sedan chair carrying Gu Yongcheng kept shaking.
Gu Yongcheng was bouncing up and down like a dumpling in boiling water.
And he himself was very frightened. He kept looking back and his legs began to tremble. At the same time, he urged the bearer: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
boom!
A cannon shot.
The shell fell in front of Gu Yongcheng's sedan.
The bearer who carried the sedan immediately dropped the sedan and ran to both sides.
And Gu Yongcheng fell to the ground along with the sedan, making him dizzy.
Gu Yongcheng did not expect that he would encounter such a dilemma.
"Capture the man in the sedan alive!"
At this time, Feng Quan saw the sedan that fell to the ground in front of him and immediately gave instructions to Li Ruobi.
At this time, Gu Yongcheng had climbed out of the sedan and hurriedly ran forward. However, due to his inactivity and his age, he could not run as fast as the villagers. He even ran a few steps. Panting.
Gu Yongcheng was quite helpless because of this.
At this time, the soldiers of the Biao Camp had already caught up with him and surrounded him with spears.
Gu Yongcheng simply stopped running and sat directly on the ground, breathing rapidly while pointing at the soldiers: "What do you want to do? I am an official of the imperial court!"
Feng Quan came over at this time, glanced at Gu Yongcheng, and ordered: "He is not a Jin gentry, he is clearly a traitor, take him away! Put him in prison, I will personally interrogate him tonight! Li Ruobi, send some capable people to keep an eye on him he!"
"As you command!"
Li Ruobi replied.
Gu Yongcheng was taken into custody and glanced at Feng Quan. However, because he saw some students from the county who were still running for their lives in front of him, he suddenly shouted: "The surname is Feng! I am Gu Yongcheng, the former magistrate of Fengjie County." !Mr. Dong Lin (Gu Xiancheng) is my cousin, if you dare to attack me, you will be my enemy, Dong Lin!"
Feng Quan smiled coldly: "Instigating the people to attack and kill the governor is a rebellion. You Gu family are waiting to be punished!"
Gu Yongcheng was shocked and suddenly shouted: "You are talking nonsense! I have never instigated the people to make trouble. I just happened to pass by here and enjoy the scenery. It is clearly you who are causing trouble and killing the villagers, and you are deeply afraid of me Report this matter to the court, so you want to silence me! You evil official, you framed me, you will not die well!"
Some members who participated in organizing the villagers to cause trouble heard Gu Yongcheng's shouts while escaping, so they stopped, listened for a while, and then continued to run away and crawl away.
Feng Quan ignored Gu Yongcheng's sophistry, and only ordered after Gu Yongcheng was taken away: "Qiao County Cheng, continue to clear your father-in-law!"
"yes!"
Qiao Xian Cheng replied hurriedly and immediately began to arrange for the county officials to start measuring the acres.
Feng Quan looked at the vast fields in front of him and said, "These are fertile fields!"
After saying that, Feng Quan asked: "Qiao County Cheng, what is this area called? Whose farm is listed in the fish scale book?"
Qiao Xian Cheng hurriedly asked a farmer who was busy in the field to come over and ask about it. Then he flipped through the fish scale book and replied to Feng Quan: "Back to Zhitai, this place is called Baizhuang, and it is a field called Qin Gensheng."
"Bring the fish scale book, let me take a look."
As he spoke, Feng Quan took the fish scale book from Qiao County Cheng, then read it, and couldn't help but said: "How could Qin Gensheng have 80,000 acres of fertile land here? How could such a big family not have it?" Get a scholar and bring over the yellow book! Find Qin Gensheng's household register!"
"yes!"
Qiao Xian Cheng immediately brought the household register and began to search carefully. As soon as he found it, he personally handed the household register with Qin Gensheng written on it to Feng Quan.
Feng Quan frowned as soon as he saw it: "Qin Gensheng actually has 227 households and 194 people in the household register! How come there is no one in such a big family who is educated! Go tell Qin Gens Born to meet me!"
Therefore, Qiao Xian Cheng replied: "Yes!" and immediately arranged for the county government officials to summon Qin Gensheng.
At this time, Ximen Hong, the household administrator, was already sweating on his forehead, and he knelt down and said: "Master Tai Tai, please forgive me! This Qin Gensheng was originally a widower, and he died last year, but the younger brother did not cancel this person's account. And these fields were placed in his name, and the number of people in the household registration was falsified for him!"
After hearing this, Feng Quan asked: "Whose family actually owns these fields?"
"Mr. Gu's family is the same Mr. Gu who was arrested by the Taiwanese master just now! This area belongs to Master Gu's family!"
The house official replied immediately.
After hearing this, Feng Quan ordered Qiao Xian Cheng: "Ask the farmer whose tenant he is!"
Qiao Xian Cheng immediately asked about the farmer he had just asked.
The farmer hurriedly replied: "To tell you what, gentlemen, the younger one is a tenant of the Gu family, and we are all tenants of the Gu family!"
After hearing this, Feng Quan glanced at the household official with dagger-like eyes: "Drag this falsified subordinate official and kill him! Recommend a new subordinate official to temporarily take over the position of household official."
"Master, please spare my life!"
The housekeeper cried and begged for mercy.
Click!
But begging for mercy was of no use.
Soon, the soldiers under Feng Quan's command beheaded the house official on the spot.
Although there are not many official officials in a county government, there are many non-staff personnel working for the county government, that is, white servants. Some counties even have thousands of white servants.
Therefore, Feng Quan's killing of a subordinate official had no impact on the entire work of clearing the land.
The Prime Minister of Qiao County also immediately recommended a household official as the household official.
Therefore, Feng Quan also ordered: "Immediately measure the 80,000 acres of fertile land that nominally belongs to Qin Gensheng! Create a new register and inform Xichang that these 80,000 acres of fertile land belong to the Gu family and need to repay the Gu family taxes!"
"yes!"
Qiao Xiancheng hurriedly replied and immediately followed the instructions.
…
Donglin Academy.
Thousands of people gathered here.
"Gong Gu was captured by the traitor Feng Quan and has been imprisoned in the county jail. I saw it with my own eyes on the road. Everyone, we can't let Feng Quan just take Gong Gu away! No matter what, Gong Gu is our boss. He is a highly respected person in Lin Academy, not to mention a well-known and wise person in Wuxi. Once Gu Gong is captured and punished, Gu Gong will be in danger! This Feng Quan is a ruthless person. This person may frame some crime for Gu Gong, and he may even say We are plotting rebellion together with Gu Gong! Therefore, we must rescue Gu Gong!"
At this time, student member Dang Chongfeng spoke first to all the students.
"That's right, we must rescue Mr. Gu! No matter how you say it, Mr. Gu is still a man with official status and fame. How can Feng Quan, a dog official, not be detained at will? Even if he is to be detained, he should first be deported by the court. Official status and fame!”
Health worker Luo Rui also responded because he was also worried that after Gu Yongcheng was arrested, it would be found out that he was also involved in inciting and organizing villagers' riots.
"Gu Gong must be rescued! Otherwise, we can't stop Feng Quan from clearing land in Wuxi! Think about it, once Feng Quan is allowed to clear land here, all our cultivated fields will be recorded as Official land, and in the future we will undoubtedly have to pay more grain taxes, as well as the number of people! And now we have to rely on Mr. Gu to lead us to stop this, otherwise without Mr. Gu, everything will be difficult for us!"
Student member Kuang Qingsheng also started talking.
"Then go to the county government immediately to rescue Mr. Gu! I want to see what qualifications the county government has to take advantage of Mr. Gu!"
At this time, student Kou Liang also started talking.
"Let's go together!"
The other students all responded.
"Not only do we have to go to the county government to ask the government to release Mr. Gu, we also have to go to the great master, the government, the feudal government, the government, and the minister Shen who has become an official at home to come forward and ask them to make the decision for our scholar. Make the decision for Mr. Gu!"
Student member Dang Chongfeng continued talking at this time.
"That's right!"
Other Donglin students responded one after another.
So, all of a sudden, all the students in Donglin Academy began to become active, and under the arrangements of several leaders of the literary society, a group of students organized and planned to go to the county government to invite a group of students. The officials and gentry whom he had contact with came to help.
Feng Quan didn't know that the students at Donglin Academy had already started active activities in response to his arrest of Gu Yongcheng.
He just returned to the county government office after spending a whole day clearing his land.
Not long after Feng Quan returned to the county government office, he received news that a large number of students were forcing their way into the county government prison, saying they wanted to rescue Gu Yongcheng.
Feng Quan hurried over with his troops, only to see that the officers and soldiers guarding the prison on his side had been pushed aside by a large number of students, and Gu Yongcheng, who was wearing prison uniform, had been pushed out by a group of students.
"What are you doing! Do you want to rebel?! This is the county jail. Gu Yongcheng is guilty of a capital crime. Who asked you to rescue him? Do you have any laws?"
Feng Quan shouted and asked.
"To calm down the anger, the main reason is that these husbands are well-known people, so it's not easy for brothers to take action! What do you think we should do?"
Li Ruobi was busy explaining at this time.
Feng Quan glanced at him and said, "Then we can't let these people kidnap Gu Yongcheng! You and your people should immediately stop them and capture Gu Yongcheng!"
"yes!"
Li Ruobi had no choice but to immediately order the camp soldiers to stand around with guns.
At this time, these students were still protecting Gu Yongcheng as he walked towards the outside.
When the members of the first batch arrived in front of a battalion of soldiers, they even yelled at the soldiers: "Get out of the way!"
The soldiers in the camp didn't know what to do. After all, these were all talented people in front of them.
At this time, a member of the First Class directly knocked aside the spear in the hand of a battalion soldier, then forced his way out, and even took out the hidden bricks and smashed them on the heads of the battalion soldiers.
The soldiers in the camp did not dare to attack these talented men and were unwilling to stay where they were and take the beating, so they had no choice but to move aside.
Feng Quan could only watch helplessly as his battalions collapsed, causing a torrent of these soldiers to rush out, including Gu Yongcheng.
Before being rescued, Gu Yongcheng glanced at Feng Quan and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Feng Quan clenched his fists. He didn't expect that he, the governor, could not even imprison a gentry. At this moment, he really wanted to order his soldiers to kill all these soldiers, but he also knew that the soldiers had honors. It is true that I cannot kill the scholar brazenly.
"The imperial edict has arrived! Let the Southeast Governor Feng Quan receive the edict!"
At this time, there was an urgent sound of horse hooves, and the guards on the horse held the imperial edict and shouted.
