Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1334 Rainy Night ([-])

There was still an hour before the curfew, and the commotion in Dongshi City had already shaken the entire city of Chang'an.The people who didn't know the truth were dumbfounded. It had been a long time since the city of Chang'an had been shocked like this. The elderly people could even think of that night in June of the ninth year of Wude when the whole Chang'an was soaked in blood...

The aristocratic family clapped their hands and applauded!

As Jing Zhaoyin, he was unable to control the people within his jurisdiction, causing him to gather in Dong City to demonstrate and protest, shaking the whole of Chang'an. This is the most serious dereliction of duty. Let's see how you die this time!
The ministers of military affairs of the DPRK and Chinese have received information one after another, and they have different plans for a while...

Fang Jun didn't take the carriage either, but came out of Wei Zheng's mansion on a healthy horse and went straight south.Wei Mansion is located in Yongxingfang, passing through Anxing and Shengye, and crossing Tianjie, it is Dongshi.Along the way, Wang Xuance had already explained the situation in Dongshi in detail.

When he got here, it was just in time that Cheng Wuting had already led Jingzhao Mansion's yamen guards to arrive in a hurry.

"Surround Dongshi to me, and absolutely no one is allowed to get away!"

Fang Jun was riding on the horse, the rain was dripping from the brows and temples, his face was gloomy.

Cheng Wu responded, "Here!"

His injuries were still not healed, so he couldn't bear the rain, so he put on a coir raincoat on his horse, and immediately commanded patrols to surround Dongshi.Dongshi is too big, and Jingzhao Mansion is short of manpower, but fortunately, when Cheng Wuting set off, he had already ordered people to notify Chang'an and Wannian counties to send yamen servants and arresters to support them, and the manpower was enough at the moment.

The overall shape of the East Market is rectangular, slightly longer from east to west, and slightly shorter from north to south. At this time, Fang Jun took a shortcut and went south to the west gate. He saw that the originally dark East Market was as bright as day. On the foundations of several abandoned shops that were demolished, slogans shook the sky, and the crowd was furious!
"Stop demolition!"

"Back to business as usual!"

"We want to eat!"

"Eliminate the traitor!"

"Give me back Dongshi!"

……

Fang Jun's face was gloomy, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

At this time, if he still can't see that there must be a figure of aristocratic family here, then he can find a piece of tofu and kill him...

He could even imagine that in the early morning of the court tomorrow, there would be a censor official following up, and a letter of impeachment memorial would be presented to His Majesty Li Er, and a lawsuit would be sternly filed.In any case, such a large-scale public gathering in the capital is shocking enough!

Changed someone to take up the position of Jing Zhaoyin, but for this item, he can be imprisoned. Even Fang Jun, I am afraid that the crime is not light. His Majesty Li Er would have to be powerless if he wanted to protect him. , after all, the influence is placed here.

This is Chang'an, the capital!
The capital is in chaos, which emperor can bear it?
This hand is so ruthless!
But at the same time, instigating domestic slaves to clamor for merchants and peddlers to coerce the people to gather in the East City, this must have touched the emperor's bottom line, no emperor can tolerate someone doing such things under his nose that may threaten the foundation of the throne matter.

Even if the aristocratic family could knock down Fang Jun, it would be a miserable victory for killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred...

Do these guys still have a backhand?

Fang Jun stood on horseback at the gate of Dongshi, looking at the bright torches and the noisy crowd in Dongshi, his mind turned quickly, thinking about every possibility.

"Fu Yin, the East City has been completely surrounded, and not a single fly can fly out! This group of small merchants and peddlers frantically flocked to the capital. If they don't deal with it as soon as possible, the impact will become bigger and bigger. Once the surrounding people are stirred up by them and make noise, Then it’s not easy to clean up!”

Cheng Wuting came on horseback and asked anxiously.

Fang Jun nodded slightly.

The so-called "law does not blame the public", if these small businessmen here are okay, most of these people have the shadow of aristocratic families, and they are arrested and interrogated one by one. After all, they can find out the family behind them, and they will not be completely passive.

But once the surrounding people don't know the truth and are encouraged to join in, it will be a big deal...

Fang Jun was still contemplating, and Wang Xuance who was on the side said, "Cheng Canjun, don't be impatient, I think, even if those aristocratic families dared to order their slaves to gather here after eating leopards, they would certainly not dare to coerce too many people to participate. His Majesty's tolerance is limited, and a certain degree of demonstration is within his tolerance range. The pressure comes from the stability of the capital, and His Majesty has to compromise. But once the scale expands and too many innocent people are coerced into it, then it is possible If the major incident in the Shock Pass gets out of control, it will be a crisis that can threaten the foundation of the empire! At that time, His Majesty will be furious. Even if the governor is punished for this, how can he let go of those aristocratic families who have no bottom line? If that is the case, It is not using the Xiaoju incident to force the emperor to dispose of the governor, but directly stirring up the overall stability of the empire, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a traitor. Who would dare to bear such a crime?"

A certain degree of Xiaoju making trouble is a means to stir up public opinion and force His Majesty Li Er to make concessions.

And once the bottom line is exceeded, it is challenging the emperor's imperial power, and it is really forcing His Majesty Li Er to give up the tacit understanding with the aristocratic family in the past, and fight with swords and guns to the end!
The aristocratic family is not a fool, how could they be so stupid?

Therefore, Wang Xuance's guess and inference are very reasonable, and Fang Jun also understands that even if all these small merchants and peddlers are arrested, it may be of no use. Spontaneous organization as an excuse to escape responsibility.

Will the emperor pursue it?

Obviously not.

This is like a game of seesaw. The aristocratic family knows the seriousness. Although the Xiaoju incident seems serious, it has never exceeded the bottom line. It will not make the two sides of the seesaw unbalanced. It is within the tolerance of His Majesty Li Er.

But once the incident expands, the seesaw will lose its balance, and His Majesty Li Er's bottom line will be touched...

Cheng Wuting couldn't understand these things, so he just stared and said: "Could it be that these bastards are allowed to gather here and make trouble, while we sit and wait for death?"

Not being able to understand the deep meaning doesn't mean that you can't see the serious impact of the Xiaoju incident. Maybe Fang Jun will be implicated because of it!And if Fang Jun is punished, those little fish and shrimps who are attached to Fang Jun, how can they get better?
Naturally, I feel the danger...

Fang Jun frowned in thought.

Everyone around him felt the extremely heavy pressure, and they held their breath, not daring to interrupt his meditation.

Only the healthy horse would make sure from time to time, the bowl-sized horseshoe lightly planed the ground, and the horseshoe made a crisp sound of "click".The torches held by the yamen guards were blazing, and the kerosene dipped in the torches was splashed by the rain, making a "sizzling" sound.

After a long time, Fang Jun looked back at the tall square wall.

Pingkangfang and Xuanyangfang are just to the west of Dongshi, separated by a street. The tall walls of the square stand tall and upright, which looks a bit majestic in the rainy night.

Where Fang Jun was standing at this time, Xuanyangfang was behind him.

Squinting his eyes, looking at the tall and erect square wall, Fang Jun ordered in a low voice: "Come here, climb over the wall for me and set a fire."

Cheng Wuting: "..."

Wang Xuance: "..."

Fang Jun didn't see the dumbfounded expressions of the two, and continued: "But be careful not to hurt people's lives, find unoccupied houses such as the main hall, stables, and warehouses, and burn a few more. It is best that the entire Chang'an city is hard to see The flames of Xuanyangfang."

Wang Xuance said anxiously: "Fu Yin, isn't the matter out of hand? It's easy to talk about Dongshi alone, and we can find evidence to fight back, but if Xuanyangfang is also involved... then there will be a big trouble. Already!"

Fang Jun chuckled: "What's wrong with making a fuss? I just want to make a fuss, and no one can control it!"

The aristocratic family makes plans before moving, and the first strike is the best. Right now, Fang Jun is in an extremely passive situation, and it can be said that he is being led by the nose.

In such a hasty situation, how to break the situation?

The best way is naturally to make things go beyond the expectations of the mastermind behind it.

I can't control it, and neither can you.

As long as none of us can control it, it's tantamount to returning to the same starting line...

Wang Xuance is very smart, Fang Jun just said this, and after a little thought, he reacted and cheered up: "Fu Yin is really amazing! Haha, if you don't want us to have a good time, then no one will have a good time!"

Fang Jun smiled and said, "Exactly."
