Feng Quan also heard Jin Yiwei's voice shouting "The imperial edict has arrived" at this time.
Therefore, Feng Quan had no choice but to ignore the soldiers who forcibly rescued Gu Yongcheng. He hurriedly protected the black gauze hat with both hands and came towards the Jin Yiwei, then knelt on the ground and began to receive the order.
Here, some members of staff involved in rescuing Gu Yongcheng also noticed the sudden appearance of Jin Yiwei.
But these students didn't pay attention, they all focused on rescuing Gu Yongcheng.
At this time, Dang Chongfeng took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into Gu Yongcheng: "Gu Gong, you still have to leave Wuxi for a while! That traitor Feng Quan will definitely not let it go! He will definitely slander you to the imperial court for attacking and killing the imperial court. The crime of appointing an official, this is the 30,000 taels of tickets, you take it first. In addition, we have prepared the boat for you. It is an official boat from Taiwan. No one dares to stop you on the way. You can escape to Huguang first! "
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Gu Yongcheng spoke and looked back at Feng Quan again.
Feng Quan had just received the decree at this time, and the content of the decree was to expunge all the gentry in Wuxi and not allow Wuxi scholars to participate in the imperial examination and enter the official career.
After receiving the decree, Feng Quan was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered: "Li Ruobi, send the order and kill all the traitors who broke into the county government office! Tell all the officers and soldiers in Biaoying that the imperial decree has been issued and all the gentry in Wuxi have been expelled from their honors! Give me this order." Official killing! Kill them all! Leave no one behind!"
Li Ruobi also heard the content of the imperial edict, and naturally he did not dare to disobey it. He quickly drew his sword and said, "Brothers! Kill these traitors! These people are no longer sworn lords. Your Majesty has just issued a decree to expel these people from their honors!"
As Li Ruobi said that, he ran over with a knife and stabbed a student in the back who was rushing out.
The health worker watched in shock as blood poured out of his abdomen.
"Be brave! We are students!"
At this time, when the first-year member saw that Li Ruobi had killed his classmate, he yelled at Li Ruobi.
Li Ruobi simply swung his knife and chopped off the soldier's head, leaving only the body below the neck, spurting out countless blood.
"What a student! His Majesty has decreed that your honors will be revoked, and you still think you are your husband! Kill me!"
Li Ruobi shouted with a bloody face, and rushed directly into the crowd of soldiers and started to kill them.
Li Ruobi's personal soldiers also followed, wielding Yanling knives and slashing at the soldiers crazily.
One after another, the survivors were hacked to the ground.
After hearing the order, other battalion soldiers also started to kill. They directly picked up spears or swords and chased the survivors who had gone out.
The students who had not been chased were immediately stunned when they saw this scene.
They did not expect that officers and soldiers would suddenly take action against people like themselves.
"Bold! We are students!"
As soon as a student spoke these words, he felt a chill in his heart. He looked at a battalion soldier in front of him in astonishment.
Some students ran away when they saw this.
Some students were so frightened that their legs weakened. Even if they wanted to run, they couldn't seem to move, so they simply knelt down and said, "Spare my life!"
Click!
But the camp soldier who was already holding back his anger couldn't control it anymore as soon as it was released. No matter whether you begged for mercy or not, he still cut him with a knife.
"What happened next?"
Because the student member reminded him, and because he heard a very noisy sound coming from behind, the student member Dang Chongfeng, who was protecting Gu Yongcheng as he walked out, quickly looked back.
As soon as he looked around, he saw many battalion soldiers holding spears and broadswords, frantically killing his fellow soldiers, who were running towards him crazily.
And many students have been killed.
The handkerchiefs fell all over the floor.
The blood spread throughout the bluestone street, and even turned into a trickle flowing down the ditch towards him.
The key point is that the killing did not stop. The soldiers of the camp were killing their own members like chickens and geese.
Dang Chongfeng was stunned when he saw this scene: "This, this, what is going on?"
"Ah! Feng Quan, the traitor! He is killing our students! Mr. Gu, if you have something to do at home, please leave first!"
The student member Kuang Qingsheng said something when he saw this, and then ran out. Even if the scarf on his head fell to the ground, he didn't bother to pick it up. He fell into the smelly ditch for a while, and continued to roll and crawl without thinking about anything. Run outside.
"The students also took the first step!"
Health worker Laurie also fled immediately.
Gu Yongcheng also turned around and saw this scene. When he saw the sword and blood behind him, he was also frightened. He couldn't help but hurriedly grabbed Dang Chongfeng and begged: "Chongfeng, you are a good boy. Take Shibo and run away together." Come on! Shibo doesn’t want to fall into Thief Feng’s hands!”
Dang Chongfeng didn't say anything, he just pushed Gu Yongcheng away and ran away.
Gu Yongcheng was pushed to the ground.
"Ouch! What an old bone I have!"
Gu Yongcheng couldn't help but scream.
At this time, Feng Quan saw this and immediately ordered the soldiers to capture Gu Yongcheng.
After Gu Yongcheng was captured, Feng Quan even hit Gu Yongcheng with a whip: "You bastard! You still want to escape? I don't even think about where you can run! This whole world is full of royal soil. Dare to attack and kill this governor. This is a serious crime. You can't escape even if you run to the ends of the earth!"
Snapped!
Feng Quan whipped Gu Yongcheng again.
"ah!"
Gu Yongcheng screamed.
Seeing this, Feng Quan raised his whip again.
"stop!"
At this time, many civil servants and gentry came over with their robes in hand. One of them, Shen Guiding, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, knocked his cane on the ground and shouted excitedly to Feng Quan.
Feng Quan took a look and saw that Tu Heji and other civil servants and gentry such as Shen Guiding and other gentry were coming. He just continued to whip Gu Yongcheng.
Seeing this, Shen Guiding was furious and walked over directly: "Feng Zhitai! Gu Gong connives and just detains the guilty one. How can you be so insulting! After all, Gu Gong is also a high-ranking official in the imperial court!"
Feng Quan ignored it and continued to slap Gu Yongcheng.
Seeing this, Shen Guiding grabbed Feng Quan and shouted, "Stop!"
When Feng Quan saw this, he simply kicked Shen Guiding to the ground: "Who gave you the courage to dare to pull this officer? Come here and beat this man to death with a stick!"
"yes!"
Li Ruobi replied loudly and came over with two camp soldiers.
Shen Guiding was shocked when he saw this.
"slow!"
At this time, Tu Heji, the academic officer, suddenly shouted loudly, cupped his hands towards Feng Quan and said: "Zhitai! Gentlemen are all people with honors. Even if you want to be punished, you must first report to the court to expunge them. Otherwise, you let How can I explain it to the imperial court? This place is full of kerchiefs and was slaughtered until blood flowed everywhere. Didn’t Zitai think about how to explain it to the imperial court? Did he explain it to the scholars all over the world?"
Feng Quan sneered: "What gentry? Are there any gentry in Wuxi?"
Feng Quan took out the imperial edict as he spoke: "This is the imperial edict that has just arrived. In the eyes of the people of Wuxi, there is no court and no majesty. They obstruct the court's new policies, murder their own officials, and forcefully break into the county government. Therefore, Long Yan was furious. All the gentry in Wuxi have been expelled from their honors, and the imperial examination qualifications of all the gentry in Wuxi have been banned. The court will no longer use people from Wuxi! And the taxes will be doubled! Unless the clearing of land can be carried out smoothly! "
Feng Quan said, "So, these people now just don't see His Majesty as a traitor."
"Beat me to death with sticks!"
Feng Quan shouted loudly.
"yes!"
As a result, Shen Guiding was dragged down and beaten.
"ah!"
Shen Guiding screamed and was interrupted not long after.
But no one at the scene looked at him, they were all stunned, even Gu Yongcheng was stunned.
All the gentry in Wuxi were expelled from their honors.
Even the imperial court no longer uses people from Wuxi as officials.
What does this mean? It means that it will be difficult for people from Wuxi to enter the ranks of scholar-bureaucrats!
"The Taiwanese government has no intention of obstructing the New Deal! The grassroots people and others have always supported the imperial court and are loyal to His Majesty! This is just the Gu family obstructing the new policy of the imperial court and has nothing to do with other officials and gentry in Wuxi! Please be clear about the Taiwanese government. , and convey to His Majesty where we have been wronged!"
At this time, Qiu Dengguo, a gentry who had followed Shen Guiding and served as chief envoy, knelt down and spoke humbly. He did not want his Qiu family to be reduced to a commoner's home because he could not serve as an official.
"Yes! We support the imperial court's clearing of land and property, and please make Taiwan a clear warning! We never dare to obstruct the imperial court's new policies, it's just that the Gu family is stubborn!"
Lan Hengjian, a gentry who became an official as the prefect, also knelt down and started talking.
"The common people are also in favor of the imperial court clearing land and collecting taxes. As Mr. Dong said, paying taxes in real terms is the most important thing to practice loyalty and filial piety! Therefore, please make it clear to me, Mr. Tai, that all this is done by the Gu family, and it has nothing to do with us." It has nothing to do with it!”
Ruan Youtu, a gentry who took up his official post as an inspector, also knelt down and said.
"Please make Taiwan clear the land as soon as possible!"
Juren He Tianren also knelt down and said something.
"Please make Taiwan clear the land as soon as possible!"
Juren Mu Yongshi also knelt down and said.
"Please make Taiwan clear the land as soon as possible!"
Other Wuxi gentry also began to kneel down and start talking.
They had no choice, and they did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would directly cut off the promotion path of all his scholars in Wuxi.
Tu Heji and other civil servants also stood there in astonishment when they saw this. They did not expect that these Wuxi gentry would give in so quickly.
And when he thought that the performance of civil servants like him might be reported to His Majesty by Feng Quan, Tu Heji immediately expressed his position: "Control Taiwan! Your Majesty also hates those who obstruct the New Deal! My Majesty today. I came here mainly to warn all Wuxi scholars not to obstruct the imperial court's new policies and not to obstruct the imperial court's action of clearing the father-in-law's land! Nowadays, these students who have no imperial court and no majesty in their eyes are dismissed from their official titles and killed by the government. They really deserve it! They deserve it! good!"
"That's right, well done! Now these students are all involved in lawsuits, discussing government affairs, and not concentrating on their studies. We really should kill them for their prestige!"
Zong Queshan, the prefect of Wuxi, also immediately expressed his stance.
Feng Quan smiled coldly and looked at these Wuxi gentry: "If you had been so obedient earlier, you wouldn't have ended up like this! You really can't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
With that said, Feng Quan ordered: "Take Gu Yongcheng back to prison and serve him to death! Force him to confess all the key criminals suspected of inciting the villagers to attack and kill me!"
