There are tens of thousands of people in Taicang.
Once public anger breaks out, the consequences are unimaginable.
Moreover, Zhang Pu's reputation in Jiangnan is as high as the sky, and he responds to every call.
When they came to arrest such people, Chen Kefa and the factory guards were all cautious and thinking about how to save their lives.
As soon as the conflict started, the factory guards began to look around.
Once the common people rush up, they will definitely run away first as a sign of respect without saying anything.
As a result, tens of thousands of people stood aside and no one stood up.
What we see in the eyes of these people is indifference, sarcasm, and the fact that the matter has nothing to do with them.
Only I didn't see any indignation.
The factory guards were confused about this situation, and Zhang Cai was even dumbfounded.
what happened?
What about the promise that we will unite as one and fight to the death?
Why did everyone become spectators?
Could it be that these people are afraid of death?
That's not right either.
If they were really afraid of death, the Suzhou riots would never have happened.
Seeing that there was no help from the common people, the scholars were beaten with bloody heads and retreated steadily, Zhang Cai became anxious.
He grabbed the panicked Ji Yingzhong.
"Where are the colleagues you contacted?"
Even if the people don't take action, like-minded people in Jiangnan Shilin are like crucian carp crossing the river. The combination of these people alone is enough to change the color of the world.
Why are there only a few dozen of them who came to protect Zhang Pu today?
Ji Yingzhong was at a loss and didn't know how to answer.
They had indeed been traveling around a lot in the past period, visiting many colleagues and writing letters to many scholars who were far away.
Those people all agreed that they would definitely come and fight alongside them today.
The results of it……
The people who came were all Zhang Pu's die-hard loyalists, and apart from that, there were no happy and tragic people.
Zhang Cai felt cold in his heart, knowing that the situation was over.
In despair, a gust of wind roared. Immediately afterwards, his head was hit by a heavy object, and his vision quickly went dark.
As soon as his consciousness disappeared, he only heard Ji Yingzhong's urgent cry.
"gentlemen……"
Then nothing was known.
How could a few dozen helpless scholars and their servants resist the brutality of the factory guards?
In just half a stick of incense, the door in front of Zhang Pu was cleared, and silence returned.
In the past, all the scholars who were suave, elegant, eloquent, and gave guidance to the world were all disgraced today. They were tied up one after another and abandoned on the roadside, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Seeing that the people of Taicang had not taken action until then, Chen Kefa felt reassured and couldn't help but feel proud.
"Come here, go in and capture Zhang Ximing. He has committed serious sins and refuses to repent. He also deceives people and resists the king's law. This is asking for death!"
The morale of the factory guards was also greatly boosted. Several people lifted the giant tree and smashed the door of Zhang's mansion into pieces in just a few moves.
It didn't take long for Zhang Pu to be escorted out of the factory in embarrassment by the factory guards. He no longer had the elegant demeanor of the past.
Zhang Pu had an unparalleled reputation throughout his life and was respected by everyone. Wherever he goes, everyone praises him.
As a result, he is now a prisoner, disgraced and extremely embarrassed.
His body was not feeling well yet, and he kept coughing in anger. Tears and snot burst out, making him even more sloppy.
Seeing his virtue, Chen Kefa ridiculed him repeatedly.
"It is said that you, Zhang Ximing, are unparalleled in the country. When I see you today, it is hard to live up to your reputation."
Zhang Pu's breathing sound was like a broken bellows, and he glared at Chen Kefa with hatred.
"The imperial court was shameless and framed Zhongliang. In order to please the traitors, he did not hesitate to destroy the Great Wall. Zhang then took a good look at it. How long does the Ming Dynasty have?"
Chen Kefa's expression changed drastically.
"Zhang Pu, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
Zhang Pu looked up to the sky and smiled, extremely sad.
"Hahahahahaha, Zhang pursues the holy way and has no regrets even though he died a hundred times. It's a pity that the people in the world are stupid and ignorant, sitting back and watching the traitors and thieves being arrogant. The loyal and kind people have become pigs and dogs. The world is upside down. That day is probably just around the corner."
Unexpectedly, there was a loud shout from the crowd.
"Bah, Zhang Ximing, you, a person who is just trying to gain fame, dare to speak so brazenly?"
Zhang Pu raised his eyebrows coldly and shouted: "Why don't you dare to show up, you guys?"
Then his eyes widened as he saw a middle-aged businessman step forward.
"You, Zhang Ximing, keep saying that you are for the people of the world, but you live in a mansion and enjoy delicious food. You have a beautiful wife and concubines, and a cloud of servants. How have you ever really cared about the suffering of the common people like us? The holy words and righteousness you keep saying are only for you. Selfishness. Although we, the common people, have no knowledge, we have seen through your true face. How can we be deceived by you?"
Faced with Chen Kefa's sarcasm and the factory guard's sword, Zhang Pu was fearless.
But now, the attack from an ordinary merchant made him unsteady and took a few steps back. From body to heart, from bones to soul, there is pain everywhere.
However, this businessman's words are not an exception.
Just after him, all the Taicang people around him started shouting and cursing.
"The Zhang family is the most unhuman. They colluded with the government and took away people's land. In order to build this luxurious mansion, many families were ruined."
"I once worked as a tenant in his Zhang family, and his family's rent was the highest in Taicang. Last year, there was a flood, and there was no harvest in the fields. I asked his family to reduce the rent, but his housekeeper took away the house."
Once the anger of the people is seduced, that is the most terrifying thing.
Tens of thousands of people said something to each other, and before they knew it, Zhang Pu's crimes piled up like a mountain.
On the surface, this gentleman and a great scholar in the literary world is just a landlord who exploits the people and enriches himself at the expense of the public.
Even those among the people who had nothing to do with Zhang Pu couldn't help but get angry after hearing so many evil things about him.
Soon, the people's anger turned from shouting and scolding to taking action.
I don’t know whether the rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were prepared in advance or whether the people really acted spontaneously. Anyway, they were all thrown at Zhang Pu.
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
This world-famous literary giant turned into a street rat today.
If it weren't for the factory guards who stopped him, maybe these ordinary people would rush up and do it themselves.
Chen Kefa stood aside and couldn't help laughing when he saw this situation, until tears came out of his eyes.
"Hahahaha, you hypocrites are always good at stirring up people's hearts. Nowadays, the reincarnation of heaven and the cycle of cause and effect are really unpleasant!"
Zhang Pu had long been overwhelmed by the anger of the people and completely lost his composure. Just looking at his fear, you know that this man's life is actually over.
In the distance, by the window on the second floor of a tavern, two people were sitting here, drinking and watching the excitement.
"Your intelligence department is really good at it, and you have knocked Zhang Ximing into the mortal world in one fell swoop."
The other person happily drank the wine in the glass.
"Flies don't bite seamless eggs. If Zhang Ximing is really self-possessed and consistent in his words and deeds, we can't do anything to him even if we are all powerful. In the end, as the landlord class, their stance determines them His body will definitely not be clean."
The other person stopped talking, with a deep thinking expression on his face.
Obviously, he learned a lot from today's events.
