Chapter 442

Fujiki Rui was awakened by Xie Sanbin's urgent cry. He was shocked. He sat up from the bed, hurriedly put on his clothes and asked, "What's going on?"

"The cabinet department, Suzhou merchants were on the market, protesting against the Governor's Office for robbing people's wealth, the workshop went on strike, and hired workers to go to the streets to block the prefect and the Governor's Office. The gentry also took the lead in causing trouble and protesting against the government's arrest of gentry and Jia!" Xie Sanbin said anxiously.

"If you dare to be unlucky, there must be someone to commander!" Fu Shangrui was furious and felt that the official power was provoked. Zhao Tiebang had tens of thousands of troops and had a domineering capital. A group of common people also felt that he challenged our cabinet, "This group of people is so brave. When the Qing soldiers occupied Suzhou, they arrested few people and robbed them. Why didn't they go out to the streets to cause trouble? Our cabinet settled the people who invested in the Qing Dynasty. How dare they do this? Do you think our cabinet can be bullied?"

At this time, Fu Shangrui had not realized the seriousness of the situation. Suzhou gentry and merchants did not have the courage to rule the Qing army, but under the Ming Dynasty, they really dared it.

Xie Sanbin swallowed his saliva, "The cabinet department, I can't make a fuss just by catching a few unclean gentry. The key is that we took the money from the Huaxing Silver. It was only this morning that the money was actually raised by Su Songchang's gentry, not all the money from the three governments! Now the people gathered outside, let us take out the money!"

"What?" Fu Shangrui was shocked when he heard the words, "How could this happen?"

It is legitimate to find those unclean gentry to help the sound. Fu Shangrui is not afraid of them making trouble, but if it is true as Xie Sanbin said, the money from Huaxing silver is the property of the gentry in Hudong, then it is to rob people's wealth and the problem will be serious.

"Where is Huang Zongxi?" Fu Shangrui suddenly asked angrily.

Xie Sanbin cried and said, "It's gone, the cabinet, we were fooled by him."

"Where are you not seeing me?" Fu Shangrui's muscles twitched, and he was unbelievable for a moment, but then he woke up immediately, "You Zhao Tiebang, you dare to plot against this cabinet!"

Fu Shangrui was angry. He never expected that he would be plotted by a warrior.

This guy first bewitched the soldiers and then deliberately gave up two million taels of conditions to lure the cabinet to take the bait. When the cabinet was in a dilemma, he sent Huang Zongxi to offer advice to the cabinet.

In order to prevent our cabinet from raising suspicion, we first proposed to liquidate some unclean gentry, let our cabinet taste some sweetness, and get half of the silver. Then we proposed to use the silver from the Huaxing Silver, and explained that it was originally the treasury silver of the three governments, and bewitched our cabinet to send people to embezzle the silver.

At this time, our cabinet had already raised some money and it was impossible to give up halfway. In addition, Zhao Tiebang suddenly led the armored soldiers to break into the Governor's mansion, creating a sense of tension, which made our cabinet just want to make up enough money for a while, but did not think about the matter of Huaxing Silver, and finally got on Zhao Tiebang's trap.

This martial artist actually had such a scheming, which was so terrifying.

Not long ago, Fu Shuri was happy that Xie Sanbin had collected three million taels from Huaxing Silver. He thought that not only met Zhao Ming's needs, but also spent more than one million taels to buy generals and prepare to do a big deal, but whoever wants to get a sleep has become a hot potato.

Xie Sanbin said: "The Pavilion Department, Zhao Tiebang may not have such a plan, and there are crowds of people outside. This is clearly a common technique used by the Donglin Party. There must be someone behind Zhao Tiebang!"

Xie Sanbin was once a member of the Donglin Party. He knew that the Donglin Party was best at inciting the people to fight against the court, and using the people to coerce the court to achieve his goals.

Therefore, when he saw the movement outside, he immediately felt the familiar smell, and the Donglin Party must have been mixed with Zhao Zamao.

When Fu Shangrui heard that it was the instigation of the Donglin Party, he darkened his face and knew that the trouble was in big trouble.

At that moment, Fu Shangrui hurriedly packed up his official robe and came to the front yard with Xie Sanbin. He heard the sound of tsunamis in the entire Suzhou city.

In the Governor's Office, the soldiers of the Governor's Biao who followed Fu Shangrui from Huguang were already scared. The previous wave of troops blocking the door had just left, and the other waves of soldiers blocking the door came again.

At this time, the city had spread. Fu Shangrui came to Jiangnan to make money, wanted to catch people and help pay, and injured the shopkeeper and work of Huaxing Silver, snatched up the millions of taels of silver raised by Suzhou gentry and merchants, and also chased the debts of each workshop.

Li Zicheng's salary assistance in Beijing spread widely, and all the gentry and officials in Beijing were skinned even if they were not dead.

It was rumored in the city that the arrest had just begun. Fu Shangrui was preparing to file some charges and torture Su Songchang's gentry, which made the rich people in the city feel sad and angry.

Even if foreign tribes in the Qing Dynasty blackmailed, but if the Ming Dynasty came to blackmail, everyone would really have no way out.

The gentry and merchants were robbed of money, and they were angry and instigated the people, and they were worried that the workshop would be shut down and the workers who had lost their jobs would go to the streets to cause trouble.

For a time, tens of thousands of employees and more than 100,000 gentry and civilians took to the streets to protest the actions of the government.

Fu Shangrui came to the gate. The soldiers in the governor's bid and the runners in the governor's yamen had already formed a wall of humans and blocked the people outside. The people kept hitting the wall of humans composed of soldiers, shaking the runners like grass.

At this time, Fu Shangrui climbed up the ladder and poked his head out of the courtyard wall. The guy, all of whom were watching were filled with fists and shouting slogans. More than 100,000 people went out to the streets, surrounding the Governor's Mansion and almost squeezed the yamen.

This scared Fu Shangrui. He finally realized the power of the local gang Donglin Party. He was still watching, and a rotten egg suddenly hit him.

It is obvious that the people already have a tendency to violence, so Fu Shangrui hurried down.

After all, he is a Grand Secretary, and Fu Shangrui has two tricks. He took a deep breath and knew that this matter was not handled well and caused a civil unrest, the Governor of Nanzhi would definitely not be able to do it. Maybe he would have to accept punishment when recalling the court, leaving stains on his resume and become a handle for political enemies to attack in the future. It would be difficult for him to be the chief minister.

"Now there is a gunpowder barrel outside, and it will explode at a glance!" Fu Shangrui said anxiously: "Transfer the order of our cabinet, the governor and the yamen runners of each yamen, the constables, must not harm the people. Maintain order and must not die! Once people die, the situation will be serious."

If the people were beaten to death, more than 100,000 people would be angry and be able to give all the Governor's Office, Fu Shangrui would be completely defeated by then.

Xie Sanbin understood and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I am accused of my duty!"

Fu Shangrui stopped him, "Let's go, there are two things to do. First, go and ask the troublemakers what they have. Second, send someone to transfer Zhao Tiebang and make a great statement. Once the civil unrest changes, Suzhou will suffer heavy losses. Let him send troops immediately to maintain order, avoid scoundrels taking advantage of the troubled waters, creating chaos, and taking the opportunity to rob!"

Under tremendous pressure, Fu Shangrui was forced to exert 200% of his ability.

Soon, those who went out to negotiate with the gentry and the people fled in panic.

Fu Shangrui immediately stepped forward, "What do the mobs say?"

"Reporting to the cabinet department, the mob said that first, the cabinet department asked the cabinet department to return the three million taels of silver robbed from the Huaxing Silver, and compensate the bank account and the injured shopkeeper and the staff. Secondly, the cabinet department shall not change or block the plan to revitalize Susong, nor shall it interfere in the operation of the Huaxing Silver. Finally, the cabinet department shall release the arrested gentry and merchants, return the extorted silver, and promise not to liquidate the people in Jiangnan." The official said.

Fu Shangrui frowned when he heard the word, and hurriedly said, "You go out again and tell them that our cabinet can agree to these conditions, but the money has been paid to Donghai Town, so that they can help our cabinet to slow down and make up for it immediately if they have money!"

When the official heard this, he ran out again at Fu Shangrui's urging.

At this time, Xie Sanbin walked over quickly, "The cabinet department, the people sent out came back, Zhao Tiebang refused to send troops. He said that the people were just making reasonable requests and did not disturb the people. The Ming army could not deal with their own people. He asked the cabinet department to deal with them properly and not hurt the people!"

"It's outrageous! It's extremely shameless!" Fu Shangrui was really angry. Is this what people do? Zhao Tiebang is simply shameless.

At this time, the official who had just left came in with rotten eggs and vegetable leaves on his head and said with a sad face: "Gei Department, they will not agree, so they must return the money!"

The silver was held by Zhao Ming, why did Fu Shangrui refute? He looked at the rotten eggs on the head of the official, looked at the embarrassed appearance of the official, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and roared in grief, "What is it if he is not a mob when treating the officials of the court like this?"

At this time, Xie Sanbin suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "There is a plan for the humble position to turn defeat into victory!"

When Fu Shangrui heard the words, he hurriedly said, "What strategy?"

Xie Sanbin said sinisterly: "Send the soldiers of the governor to intervene among the unlucky people, then attack the Governor's Office, injure the Prime Minister's Office, or kill the officials of the Governor's Office. The unlucky people outside are mobs. In this way, the cabinet department has reason to suppress the unlucky people by force! Zhao Tiebang knew that the Governor's Office was attacked by the mob and the cabinet department was injured. If he did not send troops to suppress it, he would be a complicity and the envoy, and the cabinet department had reason to participate in him."

Fu Shangrui's eyes lit up and thought this strategy was feasible. Now he took the money from Huaxing Silver, but if the unruly people injured him or attacked the Governor's Office, it would be a rebellion, and the nature would be different.

Just hurting himself, Fu Shangrui hesitated a little. What if his subordinates were not serious and beat him to death. His eyes couldn't help but fall to the officials next to him, who immediately shivered.

And just then, outside the government office, a shout suddenly came from a shout, "The yamen runners killed people! The yamen runners killed people!"

In an instant, outside the Governor's Office, a chaos was in the air, and the voice of "the yamen runners killed people" resounded throughout the city.

Just as Fu Shangrui said, the people are already violent, especially when so many people gather together, it is easy to cause mass incidents.

The angry people were ignited at once. When they heard the sound of the yamen runners killing, they all turned red and roared, and began to attack the Governor's Office.

Xie Sanbin's face was pale. As expected, the other party had a master, and he actually grabbed him in front of him.

Fu Shangrui was instantly struck by lightning. He softened his body and sat on the ground, "A bunch of unruly people! This cabinet has lost all the time!"
