The two men were led out of the shop by a dozen waiters. When the sentry in the private room opposite saw it, he quickly said: "Commander Zhu, Liu Tongzhi is out." M.biQuge.biZ
As soon as these words came out, the small window was instantly filled with heads.
It turned out that the person who came to Ying Ning Tiancheng to exchange the gold ticket was the Jin Yiwei who came from the capital.
The amount of money involved in this case was too huge, and there were many people involved. After being fermented by Dengwen Drum, His Majesty the Emperor took it very seriously, and Zhu Ji was equipped with a luxurious lineup.
He personally led the team, and commanded Liu Tong, a fellow commander, as his deputy. All the Jinyi guards in the private room were Qianhu, who inspected Qianhu, punished Qianhu, and even brought Qianhu who were self-inspecting.
There are also more than 40 royal guards downstairs.
This surprised the shopkeepers of the restaurant. They hadn't seen so many people in the store for a long time.
As we all know, Xu Youzhen instituted a new tax system in Suzhou and Hangzhou, which made those officials and gentry with status and money feel unhappy and reduced their social activities outside.
The overall situation is not good, and the government has begun to act evil.
Some time ago, so many people came to Ningbo City to stay and eat in hotels, which could have improved the situation in their own restaurants, but the government sent two government officials to sit in the restaurant, eating and drinking for free. The people, who were from out of town, were all driven away.
As for this famous restaurant in Ningbo, they initially sold luxurious banquets, but now they are selling Yangchun noodles for a few coins in order to maintain their business and find something to do.
"Here, this Commander, Commander Tongzhi, looks like he is under control."
"I don't think so. Liu Tongzhi is very good at dagger skills. These people are definitely no match for him, and he has a hot temper. There was no fighting in the store just now. I think the commander wanted to get into the tiger's den and catch the tiger's cub. Let’s not act rashly, I will go down and take people to follow you, but you are still here.”
"Then I will lead a team to follow. If there is a situation, we can rush to help as soon as possible." A Qianhu said coldly.
After getting everyone's answer, the thousand households turned around and went downstairs.
"Master, the food is delicious..." The shopkeeper watched Qianhu go downstairs and quickly took out his abacus, which was about to pay the bill.
"You have to take a step in advance and let the person above pay the bill." The Qianhu said quickly. After finishing speaking, it was just a look, but no one paid attention.
It turns out that everyone is eating noodles.
The elegant room above is for banquets, and the Jinyiwei below are all eating Yangchun noodles.
They rushed to Ningbo City in a hurry. They had slept in the open air on the way and rarely ate such a bowl of hot noodles. They were all in big chunks at the moment, and they didn't even notice their leader coming downstairs.
Zhu Ji and Liu Tong arrived at their destination in the enthusiastic company of more than a dozen waiters.
The second supervisor of Ningbo Prefecture.
"Our Ming Dynasty does not have this kind of king's law. We haven't seen the official yet, but we went directly to the prison." Liu Tong said with a cold snort.
"Huh, why, are you scared? It's too late." One of the waiters said with a chuckle.
Liu Tong ignored the guy, just glanced at Zhu Ji beside him and whispered: "Sir, what should we do? They seem to be more shameless than us."
This is really Liu Tong's true psychological reaction. This is even worse than us Jin Yiwei. We need a reason to arrest people, but you just arrested them without even asking.
The officials in Ningbo Prefecture, from the prefect to the general magistrate and down to the grassroots level, are all scholars, and this is how they treat the people.
Even Zhu Ji lost his temper at this time.
This was obviously the prefect's Yamen's favoritism towards Ning Tiancheng.
The charges of using public weapons for private purposes are all minor.
Good guy, there was a dispute among the people, but he didn't see the official and went directly to jail. Could it be that Ying Ning Tiancheng was a VIP customer of Ningbo Mansion, and he was tailor-made.
Zhu Ji knew that he came all the way here not to live in a room. At first, he wanted to meet the officials and make a preliminary judgment about them. What's more, he was a brain-dead man. At best, he would have to pay some money to get there. The step to jail.
But looking at the man who was talking to the prison guard, Zhu Ji realized that the water in the place was very deep, and he was still a little young, and he was more or less unsure...
"Just wait and see what happens." Zhu Ji replied softly. He still doesn't believe that Ningbo Mansion dares to be so wild.
The legal process of the Ming Dynasty has become a piece of paper. This is a serious crime, a serious crime of beheading.
Do they really dare?
"Sir, we can't wait and see any longer. We only have three months. If we stay in prison for another month or two, the day lily will be cold." Liu Tong was a little anxious.
The waiter here secretly took out a broken piece of silver and handed it to the yamen servant without moving his expression.
"Brother, help us, scare them, and give these brothers some tea."
After the yamen officer took the broken silver, he looked at it again. Liu Tong and Zhu Ji had somewhat embarrassed expressions on their faces.
The prison chief had just held a meeting for them, saying that Xu Youzhen would be coming to Ningbo in the next two months, and asked them to restrain themselves, improve food for the prisoners, and stop on some wild roads. If they are caught, they should stop. When one shows up, no one will protect you. When Liu Tong and Zhu Ji arrived at the prison gate, they were neither arrogant nor impatient. At first glance, they seemed to be people with some background. At this juncture, they really did not dare to take risks.
"Otherwise, you should go to the prison chief, or go directly to the inspector. Isn't he close to your shopkeeper? Under special circumstances, I really don't dare to bring people in. This is a big prison." Although this The yamen officer verbally rejected the man, but the money in his hand was naturally put into his cuffs.
After hearing this, the clerk was dumbfounded. When he saw the action of the Yamen servant, he cursed in his heart, "If you don't do things, don't charge me. Doesn't this clearly disrupt the market and break the trust between supply and demand? Having said that, what's wrong with this move?" It's not working yet.
He turned back and glanced at Liu Tong, who was still looking arrogant. He gritted his teeth and took out another piece of silver: "Brother, take the brothers to drink some wine."
This guy now thinks that the general situation is bad, inflation, and his money is not in place.
When the yamen servant saw the money, he immediately reached out to take it, but the clerk retracted his hand and made it clear that if you don't take them in, I won't give you the money.
"Are you serious about taking half a step back..."
"Brother, listen to me. These two are outsiders and have no roots in Ningbo. If you arrest them, there will be no problem at all. All you have to do is take them in, scare them, and stay here for a day or two. I Give this money to your elder brother."
After hearing what the clerk said, the yamen servant completely turned his back.
I am a public official who has gone ashore, and you are a clerk in a small shop that is about to close down. Who gave you the courage to threaten me?
At that moment, the officer pushed the guy away and said loudly: "Get out of here, get out of here, where did you come from, you wild boy? Do you know where this is? This is the prison of the Ming Dynasty. You should treat it like your mother-in-law's bed." Ah, if you crawl first and then start acting nonsense, I will catch you..."
