Chapter 517 The Storm in Jiangning Mansion

The tenth day of June, Jiangning Mansion.

"Prefect Chen, please come forward and give everyone an explanation!"

At the door of Jiangning Mansion Yamen, a young man shouted loudly.

He was holding the tablet of Confucius in his hand, with an awe-inspiring look on his face.

People around him also shouted out after him: "Please, Magistrate Chen, come forward and give everyone an explanation!"

"Prefect Chen, please come forward and give everyone an explanation!"

Inside the yamen, the general judge Yang Bangyi looked at Chen Bangguang who was drinking tea and said angrily: "Prefect Chen, now the yamen is surrounded, you can't think of anything and instead drink tea leisurely here!"

Chen Bangguang chuckled and said: "Yang Tongpan, don't I want to find a way? Why don't you go and see who are the people who come to serve as yamen? Those people are either the children of officials or the children of local households.

!”

Yang Bangyi said: "You are the prefect of the magistrate's office here. What they are doing now is against the imperial court! Even the most powerful officials' children must restrain themselves!"

"I said Yang Bangyi, you can't stand and talk without pain in your back. Go and see who the person shouting the loudest is? Liu Qing! His grandfather served as the deputy transit envoy of Huainan East Road, and his father Liu Biao was the organizer of the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce.

Man, the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce paid for the bridge over the Qinhuai River and the road outside Jiangning City!"

Yang Bangyi said: "One thing comes to one thing."

"One thing comes to another! Now Liu Qing is holding the memorial tablet of Saint Kong, what do you want to do!" Chen Bangguang said with a cold face, "Besides, he said that the imperial court attacked Liaodong without authorization and provoked the war between Song and Jin Dynasties. This fact is justified in itself!

"

"Nonsense!" Yang Bangyi said angrily, "The imperial court's northern expedition to Liaodong is the king's army advancing northward!"

Chen Bangguang said: "Wang Shi is marching north? Liaodong is not my territory of the Song Dynasty at all, it belongs to the Jin Kingdom!"

"Prefect Chen is not going to disperse those people outside?"

"If you want to disperse, disperse yourself!" Chen Bangguang said disdainfully.

Yang Bangyi glanced at the other officials and said, "Are you all unwilling to go out?"

No one answered his question, so he said: "Okay! Then I will go to the transfer office to find Lu Sicao to handle this matter!"

After saying that, Yang Bangyi rolled up his sleeves and walked out.

As soon as he went out, the attention of everyone outside turned to him.

The young man at the head was Liu Qing. When he saw Yang Bangyi, he said loudly: "Yang Tongpan! Are you here to give us an explanation?"

When Yang Bangyi saw these people, he said angrily: "What do you have to say?"

"The imperial court provoked the war between Song and Jin Dynasties, and then caused the world to suffer the flames of war, and countless people were killed. We firmly oppose the war!"

"Yes! We firmly oppose war!"

"War will only make people displaced. The world is not yet stable and we have to fight again. Isn't this just militarism?" A young man shouted loudly.

"Anyone who agrees with the war is a traitor!" another person shouted.

At that moment, he seemed to be wearing a cassock, with thousands of holy lights blooming from his body.

Yang Bangyi said angrily: "Whether to start a war and how to fight the Jin people is a matter for the imperial court. You know nothing about the front line, how can you make such an arbitrary conclusion?"

Liu Qing sneered: "We all read the books of sages, does Yang Tongpan think we are all fools?"

"The Jin people have already agreed to negotiate peace, and now we want to take the initiative to fight again. This is not in line with etiquette!"

"Yes! All of us should reflect on ourselves and why we are fighting again!"

"Nonsense!" Yang Bangyi pointed at Liu Qing and said angrily, "You take these people and disperse quickly, so I can forget about today's incident!"

As soon as Yang Bangyi said this, a young man rushed up and punched Yang Bangyi.

This punch was like a charge horn, and others immediately rushed forward.

While they were beating Yang Bangyi to death, they shouted: "We are all educated in sacred science, you can't deceive us, we want peace!"

The crowd was in chaos.

The government officials rushed in and said, "Oh no, Magistrate Chen, there's a fight outside. People outside are beating Yang Tongpuan."

Chen Bangguang continued to drink tea, and even had a smile on his lips.

He stood up slowly and walked out slowly.

When he walked out, Yang Bangyi had already led several people out of the siege, but some people were chasing Yang Bangyi.

Chen Bangguang didn't find Yang Bangyi, and he didn't bother to care about Yang Bangyi.

When the others saw Chen Bangguang coming out, they said, "Prefect Chen, you have figured it out."

"I know you all have complaints in your hearts. Your voice will be heard by me in heaven!"

At this time, some people were shouting loudly on Jiangning Mansion Street: "The imperial court wants to go to war, take money from us, and recruit troops. We must firmly oppose it!"

Yang Bangyi stumbled to the transfer office.

At this time, in the Yamen of the Transportation Department, Lu Yi, the transportation envoy, was meeting with Liu Biao.

Liu Biao said: "If this matter is so troubled now, and the court blames it, Lu Sicao will inevitably be impeached and dismissed from office. Why don't we take a break first?"

Lu Yi said: "We can't wait any longer. I just received news from the capital yesterday that His Majesty the Emperor went south to Xiangyang. Do you know what the Emperor did in Xiangyang?"

"What did you do?"

"The transfer envoys, the criminal and prison envoys were promoted, and the Changping envoys were all cut off because of the landlord's loan."

Liu Biao was startled: "Loan?"

"That's right, Gyeonggi Road is now pushing banknotes to the countryside in order to seize private loans. His Majesty the Emperor killed three local officials in a row because of private loans. Think about it again, how many loans do you have?"

Liu Biao said: "The imperial court has not controlled lending in recent decades. Why does it suddenly have to control lending now?"

Lu Yi said: "Because our Emperor is short of money for the war!"

"You mean, His Majesty uses this as an excuse to make money among the people?"

Lu Yi stopped talking, but everyone already understood this matter tacitly.

"I have received news from the capital that supplies and troops are still being added to the northern front. His Majesty the Emperor is going to fight a big war with the gold thieves! That old guy Mei Zhili is clamoring to investigate the south every day!" Lu Yi's face was a little gloomy.

Naturally, he doesn't want to cause trouble.

Regardless of whether Liu Qing was arranged by him or not, if such a huge chaos occurs in the local area, his transfer envoy will inevitably be impeached, and he must bear the greatest responsibility.

Lu Yi said in his heart: The most I can do now is lose my official position, but if the imperial court implements the New Deal in Jiangdong, all my savings over the years will be lost, and I may also lose my official position.

After hearing this, Liu Biao also knew why Lu Yi wanted to make a dangerous move.

Liu Biao said: "Lu Sicao, a group of people also made trouble in the Luoyang case last year, and the result..."
