The plainclothes fan tried to explain, saying that adding the content of the decree privately was to falsely spread the imperial edict, which was a serious crime. No matter how brave Zhang Xunzhao was, he would never tamper with the imperial edict.

However, this was the Qian family's territory, far away from the capital, and the explanation of the foreign military was useless at all, which attracted doubts about him because it was a northern accent.

Some people who were excited surrounded them, just by looking at their posture, as if they were about to move.

The plainclothes players had no choice but to show their own badges to shock these people. Then, when he explained, those people ignored him. Obviously, others didn't believe what he said at all.

There was no choice but to return immediately and report the situation to Jiang Dong, the stallion.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Jiang Dong could not help but before the other Dongchang soldiers could not help but shouted angrily.

"What a courageous thing, can they still dare to attack Dongchang?"

"I don't think these southern barbarians need to be polite to them, just catch them!"

"Yes, when you go out to the street, anyone who dares to talk nonsense or deliberately slander will be arrested!"

“…”

As a Dongchang agent, he has never been treated like this. Basically, every Dongchang agent is very angry.

Seeing this, Jiang Dong was about to say something, but saw Zhang Pu first and said, "No!"

"What?" The East Factory Affector was a little puzzled when he heard this, and couldn't help but question, "It's time for this, will the patrol still protect these troublemakers?"

Other soldiers also wanted to speak. Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they were a little dissatisfied with Zhang Pu.

However, Jiang Dong has been in contact with Zhang Pu for a long time and knows that this person actually hates this person very much, but he still says that, so there must be his reason.

Therefore, he interrupted and said, "Shut up and let Lord Zhang finish his words!"

Hearing this, Zhang Pu couldn't help but look at Jiang Dong gratefully, and then said seriously: "Jiangnan is different from the capital. Compared with the capital, Shilin is relatively powerful here. Don't forget that the tax resistance in Suzhou during the Wanli period, Sun Long, the eunuch sent by the emperor, was so scared that he fled from Suzhou directly, and many of his subordinates were killed!"

"What?" The fan officer was very surprised when he heard this, and asked with a look of surprise, "Can they dare to attack us?"

After hearing this, Zhang Pu thought for a moment, he finally shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be the case now, but if the situation continues, no one knows what will happen in the end?"

His words were somewhat authoritative. Therefore, after he finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet. No one expected that things might be serious.

After a while, Jiang Dong said first: "Then it's better. I'll contact Nanjing immediately to see if more people are sent over?"

The factory guards are in the capital, and they still have branches and people. There are situations here. As long as you go over to ask for help, you must take action.

After hearing this, Zhang Pu nodded immediately and said, "Okay, this matter should be as soon as possible. As for Changshu, it is not advisable to add more stimulation at present, and it should focus on stability!"

After hearing this, Jiang Dong immediately began to arrange personnel and go to Nanjing for help.

From beginning to end, neither he nor Zhang Pu mentioned Changshu County Government, because they all knew that the people in Changshu County Government could not be used by them. If there was a conflict, it would be completely estimated that they would be able to make trouble in secret.

So, in the next few days, Zhang Pu suddenly said that these days were too busy and a little tired, and he was not as diligent as before.

This matter soon reached Qian Qianyi who was hiding in the dark. When he heard about this, Qian Qianyi sneered: "Zhang Pu, you already know my methods!"

Hou Fangyu next to him was also very excited. He said to Qian Qianyi happily, as if he had won the war, "As soon as Mr. Yushan took action, it would be enough for Zhang Pu to drink a pot. In the eyes of the students, he was afraid he would run away in shame! Haha..."

Qian Qianyi heard this, but sneered: "Come here to make trouble, how can he let him leave easily!"

"What does Mr. Yushan mean?" Hou Fangyu asked in confusion after hearing this.

I heard Qian Qianyi’s face coldly and said hatefully: “Continue, don’t stop!”

After hearing this, Hou Fangyu remembered the humiliation in Qiuyue Pavilion, and immediately slapped his hands and said, "Okay, I finally had this opportunity, how could I let him get out easily!"

So, under their secret instructions, Zhang Pu wanted to slow down the situation first, but it did not come true, and a storm continued to brew.

Seeing this, Jiang Dong was a little worried, so he suggested to Zhang Pu: "Sir, I think it's better to avoid the limelight first. At least we will come again when the reinforcements from Nanjing arrive!"

"Not appropriate!" Zhang Pu heard this and immediately shook his head, "All one go will decline again, and then exhaust it. The more difficult the matter is, the more we cannot dampen the spirit and increase the morale of others. Moreover, we represent the face of the court and the emperor. If we retreat like this, we cannot explain it. Instead, these troublemakers will be more aggressive, and the people behind it will even fuel the fire. It is very likely that the emperor's rectification of the administration will disappear like this!"

At this time, Zhang Pu had already stood on the emperor's side without realizing it, thinking about how to carry out the matter of exemption from the quota of officials and gentry and urged for arrears of taxes. This is not to say that he was enlightened, but that his opponent was there, so he naturally had to stand on this side.

When Jiang Dong heard what Zhang Pu said made sense, he frowned.

Zhang Pu thought about it for a while, then slowly said: "I will never expect this to be wrong. It must be that old man Qian Qianyi is making trouble behind the scenes. Changshu County will definitely not be used by me. If you want to be faster, you can only seek reinforcements nearby."

When Jiang Dong heard this, his eyes lit up and immediately said, "It seems that the master's mentor is in the next county. His reputation is not lower than that of Qian Qianyi. If he comes forward, this matter will be easier!"

During the Zhang Pu's examination, Zhou Yanru was the chief examiner. According to the convention of this era, Zhou Yanru was Zhang Pu's mentor. Jiang Dong pointed out that he was dismissed from office and was in Yixing County, Suzhou Prefecture, next door.

Hearing this, Zhang Pu hesitated for a while.

To be honest, he actually didn't think Zhou Yanru would help him, because from various signs, this mentor actually did not welcome him, especially because he was ordered to do this.

However, if you want to ease the current crisis as soon as possible, you can only ask for help nearby.

Zhang Pu remembered that he had written a letter to ask for mercy for Zhou Yanru during the tenth year of Chongzhen. Or he was somewhat intimate. Therefore, he agreed and immediately wrote a letter in hand and asked someone to send it to him quickly.

This time, the Dongchang Army was not allowed to send a letter because it was a nearby county and the recipient was a local celebrity, so it was handed over to the county corps officers. It was just that there was an explanation and Zhou Yanru's reply was required so that he would not be afraid of the county corps officers making trouble.

Another purpose is actually to tell Qian Qianyi behind it that it would be almost the same. Otherwise, Zhou Yanru will come in a while and that is a person who is almost as famous as you.

As Zhang Pu expected, his letter was first delivered to Qian Qianyi.

After Qian Qianyi looked at it, he sneered and threw the letter to Hou Fangyu who was waiting aside. At the same time, he said disdainfully: "Where is more than the excess grain field on Zhou Yanru, how much less than me can I have? I have been sure that after this letter has passed, Zhou Yanru will only hide and say he is not at home. Do you believe it?"

When Hou Fangyu heard that Zhou Yanru's grain field would not be much less than Qian Qianyi, he immediately felt relieved and immediately praised Qian Qianyi: "Even if it is for Mr. Yushan's face, Zhou Yanru would not dare to come with Zhang Pu'er. Maybe he would scold him instead. In fact, if you want students, it is better to ask Zhang Pu'er to check Suzhou Prefecture first? Haha!"

Qian Qianyi laughed and laughed when he heard this. The officials around him either had a good relationship with him, Qian Qianyi or were like him, and could not tolerate Zhang Pu'er really had to investigate those two things thoroughly.

So, the letter was sealed as it was, so that people could send it to you. At the same time, the two of them laughed at Zhang Pu's death!

Qian Qianyi said confidently: "In Nanzhili, I am here, who dares to help Zhang Pu'er!"

When Hou Fangyu heard this, he was about to continue complimenting, suddenly a Qian family member rushed in and reported to Qian Qianyi: "Master, I have a letter from Yangzhou Prefecture that the new Left Censor Yang left Yangzhou Prefecture and did not go to Nanjing, but came here instead!"

"What?" Qian Qianyi couldn't help but ask, "Why is Yang Tinglin actually coming to Changshu?"

"From the river, it is very likely that I came to Changshu." The clerk reported again.

Qian Qianyi couldn't help but say hatefully: "It's so lingering! I'm tolerant of him again and again, and I really think it's me who is afraid of him?"

"What should we do?" Hou Fangyu heard this and asked quickly.

At critical moments, he experienced too little, which often made him lose his mind and had to ask Qian Qianyi.

This time, Qian Qianyi glanced at Hou Fangyu, didn't say anything, but turned around and left with his hands behind his back. Not long after, a Qian Mansion manager hurriedly left and rushed to the edge of the Yangtze River.

What they didn't know was that almost at the same time, the new eunuch Lu Jiude, the governor of Nanjing, had arrived in Nanjing to take office under the order.

When the six ministries and nine ministers who accompanied the capital saw him coming, they all discussed to welcome him, but who knew that Lu Jiude had no contact with them and other civil servants at all. Instead, they immediately began to patrol the military camp and rectify the Nanjing defenders.

Many people were surprised at this. Is Lu Jiude a lack of brain or something? Now that the thief has been wiped out by the emperor, why do you have to rectify the army so diligently? Could it be that he is addicted to being a military supervisor?

Naturally, they didn't know that Lu Jiude followed the will of Emperor Chongzhen and was prepared for any trouble. He rushed to Nanjing to control the army first, just in case.

How could Emperor Chongzhen be willing to do things smoothly? It is easy to remember the riots in Suzhou.

At that time, Emperor Wanli sent mining supervisors to various places to collect taxes. In the Suzhou Prefecture, tax evasion was too rampant, and the already low commercial tax revenue continued to shrink, so that he borrowed other silver to fill it. At that time, the eunuch Sun Long, sent by Emperor Wanli, wanted to crack down on tax evasion.

Local Huang Jianjie, Tang Xin and others joined Sun Long and proposed to impose taxes on the silk weaving industry, one for each machine, with a tax of three cents of silver. This should mean that the tax of three cents of silver is collected per year, which is a very reasonable proposal.

However, just one thing suddenly broke out, attacking the yamen, killing Huang Jianjie and others, and plundering the gentry who lent money to Huang Jianjie, Ding Yuan, who repaid the family. Sun Long was so scared that he hid in Shen Shi expert for two days, then fled to Hangzhou on a small boat, resigned from his tax position, and never went to Suzhou again.

In fact, at the beginning of this civil rebellion, even when the civil rebellion was at its most violent time, as long as the local government did its best, it would be impossible for this to happen in the important town of the court and could be suppressed in minutes.

However, the local government did not care at all and was just perfunctory. Even Zhu Xieyuan, who had just been promoted to deputy envoy of the Sichuan Censorate, asked him to help him to quell the riot. As a result, he said that "the army opposed the use of troops to suppress foreign invaders" and eventually the mob succeeded.

As a result, the officials from all over the country all said that the emperor sent eunuchs to impose heavy taxes on mining taxes, which caused the civil unrest in Suzhou. If they did not withdraw quickly, they might have more troubles when they turned around. In this way, Emperor Wanli had to withdraw eunuchs from mining taxes in various places.

Based on the lessons of this matter, Emperor Chongzhen specially selected Lu Jiude, who had experience in leading troops from the three camps, and told him to rectify the army after he arrived in Nanjing to prevent possible civil unrest.

This time, he would not be like Emperor Wanli. If he really did something like Suzhou again, he would never be ruthless.

However, for the time being, or for a long time in the future, no third person will know about the emperor's meaning. Lu Jiude will also be in his heart. If there is really something to ask him to lead his troops to quell the rebellion, he will also say that it is his own. After all, he is an eunuch in Nanjing, and he has the right to deal with the matters in the south.

Therefore, without the outside world's knowledge, the Secretary of the Ministry of War and the Nanjing Governor who also have jurisdiction over the army did not care much about the eunuchs in charge of the army. After all, in terms of real power, the eunuchs in charge are more important. You must know that eunuchs are the emperor's confidant.

On this day, an official boat on the Yangtze River was really down the river. On the bow of the boat, an official in a big red robe was watching the scenery of the Yangtze River accompanied by his subordinates. Needless to say, this person was Yang Tinglin.

He was in Yangzhou Prefecture and felt that the arson case was suddenly arrested, and he felt something was wrong. Then as soon as he learned about it, he found that Qian Qianyi had actually returned to Changshu County. Just then, Zhang Pu's letter was delivered.

Feeling the seriousness of the situation, he made a quick decision and immediately rushed to Changshu County.

He had experienced war against the enemy, so how could he be afraid of trivial matters? Therefore, he didn't care at all, so he was prepared to obey Emperor Chongzhen's will and protect Zhang Pu.

He was looking at the scenery, and suddenly, a scream came.
