Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1341 Strong
Outside the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, a jaw-dropping scene appeared.

Hundreds of thousands of merchants and commoners were silent, and neatly divided into two rows on the street against the side of the square wall. They took off their pants and waited for the yamen guards to come and tie their hands. Then they squatted down obediently, saying no throat.

Fortunately, there are no stars and no moon tonight, and the light rain is still falling, otherwise, if the full moon shines brightly in the sky, thousands of snow-white buttocks will reflect the moonlight...

That picture is so beautiful.

Although the rain was not heavy, the patter never stopped.

These merchants and commoners were already drenched when they were in Dongshi, but they didn't feel that much when they were excited at that time. At this moment, they squatted obediently by the side of the street, with such a light rain on their heads, they shivered and shivered all over their bodies.

But no one dared to complain. Compared with the cold brought by the low temperature of the rain, the scene of Fang Jun beating Hu Chong just now was really chilling and frightening.

This mallet really dares to kill people...

On the other side, Fang Jun beat Hu Chong half to death, and then straightened up to catch his breath.

Wei Dawu's eyelids twitched, his heart trembled, he swallowed secretly, looked at Hu Chong who was moaning and howling on the ground, and had to step forward and asked, "Fu Yin...how to deal with this person?"

Seeing that all the arms and legs are broken, and I don't know how many good bones are left, I can't just let them fend for themselves here, right?Even if you really don't care about Hu Chong's life or death, you have to throw him to a mass grave outside the city...

Of course, this Hu Chong is a member of the eldest grandson's family. The Wei family and the eldest grandson's family communicated with each other, so they couldn't just watch Hu Chong die miserably, otherwise how would he explain to the eldest grandson's family afterwards?
Fang Jun glanced at Wei Dawu lightly, and asked, "Whose family does this person belong to?"

"The lower officials don't know each other." Wei Dawu naturally recognized Hu Chong, but how dare he say it?If Fang Jun believes that he and Hu Chong are in collusion, it will be over.

Although he did know about the Dongshi incident in advance...

"do not know?"

Fang Jun stared at Wei Dawu for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Then Wei Shaoyin, let's take him home and take care of him like a family member."

The surrounding air suddenly stagnated.

What does this mean?
Wei Dawu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he almost regretted slapping himself, why so many mouths?
Hastily denied it: "The lower official really doesn't know this person, he is definitely not a member of my Wei family..."

Fang Jun nodded: "Whose family is that?"

Wei Dawu really wanted to say that he didn't know him, but when he saw Fang Jun's gradually stern face, his heart skipped a beat.Could it be that this stick already knows that he is an insider, and that he knows this Hu Chong, so now he wants to take the opportunity to clean himself up?

Swallowing his saliva fiercely, Wei Dawu felt that it was better for him to be more frank. Compared with admitting this Hu Chong at this moment, the end of stubbornly resisting to the end may be even worse!
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The officer looks at this person with a kind face. It seems that he has met once in the past. He is probably a relative of the eldest grandson's family..."

Fang Jun did not make things difficult for him, and nodded upon hearing the words: "The eldest grandson's family is a family of honorable relatives. They have always been law-abiding, honest and self-disciplined. , This is the reason for such illegal things. Why don't you trouble Wei Shaoyin and send this person back to the eldest grandson's house in person?"

Wei Dawu's eyeballs are straight...

You beat people like this, and you want me to send them back to the eldest grandson's family?
Originally, the Wei family had secretly communicated with the Changsun family, and had a grudge with Fang Jun. It was fine if he failed to protect the members of the Changsun family. Now, he sent this half-dead Hu Chong back to the Changsun family. Changsun Wuji, that old fox What would you think?
This is too embarrassing!

Wei Dawu looked distressed, and squeaked and said: "This... Governor, there is a mess in the yamen right now, I must do my best to share your worries with the governor, or... I will send a yamen servant , send this person to the eldest grandson's house?"

He really didn't want to go.

At that time, Changsun Wuji asked him: You are the Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Mansion, and the disciples of my family were beaten like this, and you just watched?If you can't stop Fang Jun, it's fine, but the question is whether you stop him or persuade him?

What did you ask Wei Dawu to say?
It can't be said that I dare not stop or persuade, I am afraid that I will be beaten to death by Fang Jun...

Fang Jun's expression darkened suddenly, and he snorted coldly, "Why did Wei Shaoyin push back on my arrangement? Could it be that your Wei family and Changsun's family are the masterminds behind this riot in Dongshi?"

Wei Dawu was sweating profusely: "Absolutely not! Fu Yin Mingjian, the subordinate is also a member of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, how could he do such a wrong thing?"

Fang Jun sneered: "Come here! Give me a sudden trial overnight, and among these merchants who set fire to smash and intend to undermine the stability of the empire, anyone who has anything to do with the Wei family will be punished by me! I don't believe it. , why not ask for it?"

Wei Dawu was completely stunned as if struck by lightning...

What the hell, is this going to put all the charges on the Wei family?

Almost all the powerful families participated in the riots in the East City this time. The reason why they were so bold was because "the law does not blame the public". No matter how angry the emperor was, he would not attack all the powerful families, right?

But if it is aimed at the Wei family...

I'm afraid that the rest of the aristocratic families are so happy that they can slap their hands.
The emperor has no scruples. How can a mere Wei family bear the emperor's anger?

Wei Dawu was completely upset.

"It's the official's fault that the governor forgives the crime... The official has always looked up to the governor and respected him, how dare he disrespect orders? So I will personally send this person to the eldest grandson's house."

Without further ado, Wei Dawu ordered a few of his cronies to lift Hu Chong up, ignoring his screams, and ran towards Chongrenfang where the eldest grandson's family was located...

The entire Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion started to run rapidly.

The officials of the Yamen made a sudden interrogation overnight, and verified the background information of the names, places of origin, occupations, and their families of these traders, and then asked whether they were instigated by others, and what the purpose of these actions was...

Too busy to fly.

Fang Jun arranged the affairs properly, and as soon as he returned to the value room, a servant rushed to the yamen, saying that the owner asked Erlang to go back to the mansion, and he had something important to explain.

Fang Jun didn't dare to be negligent, even if no one came from the house, he would return home after the settlement was settled, and ask Fang Xuanling for advice.

Before leaving, he told Cheng Wuting: "Take care of all these people, and don't run away with one of them."

Cheng Wuting asked: "Then after the interrogation is over, the officer will send you the oral supply."

Fang Jun shook his head: "No need."

He turned and left.

Cheng Wu is quite confused...

What do you mean no need?
*****
In Fangfu's study, Fang Xuanling quietly listened to Fang Jun's detailed account of what happened and how to deal with it, without interrupting.

It wasn't until Fang Jun finished speaking that Fang Xuanling nodded slowly, and said with relief: "It happened so suddenly, it's very good to be able to take care of the overall situation in a hurry."

Fang Xuanling is a typical Confucian gentleman, who believes in the saying that "a strict father produces filial sons". Although he is not very strict with his sons because of his personality, it is not easy to get a compliment from Fang Xuanling. .

Fang Jun said modestly: "It's because my father has been strict in teaching, but there are inevitably some omissions. I still hope my father will teach."

"Ah."

Fang Xuanling hummed, took a sip from the teacup on the desk, then sighed slightly, and said, "This matter...you may be wronged."

Fang Jun frowned: "Isn't it?"

Originally, the merchants were making trouble at Xiaoju in Dongshi, and he, Jing Zhaoyin, could not escape the blame. It was impossible for His Majesty Li Er to start a full-scale war with the aristocratic family for him.However, Fang Jun set fire and smashed things up again, which raised the scale of the matter by more than one notch. Such a large-scale disturbance has far exceeded the bottom line of His Majesty Li Er.

Of course, even if His Majesty Li Er's bottom line is exceeded, it is impossible to seriously turn against the powerful family and fight with swords and guns.

Because the aristocratic family will inevitably give in...

In the eyes of the aristocratic family, the inheritance of the family is more important than everything else. They provoked the riots in Dongshi to win a relaxed living environment for their family and force His Majesty Li Er to give up his will to suppress the aristocratic family.

But if there is an all-out war...

I don't know if Datang will be finished. I am afraid that most of these aristocratic families will disappear in smoke. Even if they are not wiped out, they will suffer heavy injuries and be devastated. If not, the inheritance will be broken...

This is an ending that the aristocratic family is absolutely unwilling to face.

Therefore, the struggle between the aristocratic family and the emperor has always adhered to the bottom line, and no one dared to break this tacit understanding recklessly, and then suffered a catastrophe.

In this case, the riots in Dongshi were nothing more than nothing, so why would he be wronged?
Fang Jun was puzzled.
