Domineering Daming

While they were whispering, Fang Kongxuan arranged for another group of people to slowly come to the gate of the barracks.

This time the guards inspected them very seriously, because these are all well-known "Yuanwai", "Boss" and "Old" in Nanzhili, with wealthy families and great reputations.

There was really no way to distinguish them, so Fang Kongzhang had to pack them up and send them over, ordering someone to check them over and over again to ensure that there would be no assassins or the like.

This group of people slowly came to the high platform and sat in front of the previous wave, with another polite gesture.

"Shopkeeper Zhao..."

"Master Qin..."

"Old man Zhou..."

For a while, the high platform was like a vegetable market, there were everyone, and there were all kinds of people!

The soldiers not far away turned a blind eye and stood straight like a gun.

Fang Kongxuan called people there, checked them one by one, took a roll call, and sent them to the barracks.

Things were fine in the front, but things started to go wrong in the back.

This is a group of big merchants, from salt merchants, silk, porcelain, tea, etc., are all big households in Nanzhili. At this moment, a group of people are crowding each other, almost stagnating.

"Hurry up, let's go, don't dawdle!" The soldiers of the governor's mansion reprimanded them coldly, pushing and shoving the group of people.

Suddenly, a person in front ran up to Fang Kongxuan who was standing in front of the steps, knelt down with a plop, and cried, "Governor Fang, I know I was wrong, please let me go..."

As soon as this one yelled out, another big fat man came over, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Master Fang, I plead guilty, I plead guilty, any amount of money is fine, please let me go, I don't want to die..."

"Master Fang, I don't dare anymore, I've already opened the door for business, I... don't want to die..."

One after another, in front of the governor's yamen, at the feet of Fang Kongxuan, more than a dozen people were kneeling before long, each of them was crying, shouting "forgive me", showing a lot of ugly behavior, and disregarding any face.

Fatty Chen was still hiding in the crowd, his eyes were gloomy, his face was gloomy and changing, he gritted his teeth, feeling uneasy.

In just a few hours, Ying Tianfu was full of rumors and it was difficult to tell the truth from the fake.

Some people said that this was a conspiracy of Emperor Jingzheng, who wanted to wipe out all the nobles, gentry, and officials in Nanzhili in order to sweep away the resistance to the New Deal.Some people also said that Jingzheng would only kill some people, killing chickens and scaring monkeys.

But no matter what, Jing is going to kill, so who will he kill?

Everyone except Fatty Chen was anxious and uneasy. No one was clean. They were well-dressed on the surface, but they were all dirty.This Emperor Jingzheng wanted to kill, any of them could do it!

Standing on the steps were Fang Kongxuan, Fu Zonglong, Qian Qianyi and the others, all frowning and ugly looking at this scene.

The emperor repeatedly asked that no one should be missing, let alone this group of people!

Fang Kongxuan ignored it, with his hands behind his back and a stern expression on his face.

Fu Zonglong didn't have so many scruples, he just waved his hand, and a group of soldiers rushed over, checked them, and sent them to the barracks under force.

"My lord, please forgive me..." The voice was shrill, like going to the guillotine.

The people watching from not far away were terrified and trembling all over, and several of them collapsed on the ground directly, and even passed out directly when they were older.

Fu Zonglong didn't let any of them go, the stretcher was already prepared, and he carried it away abruptly.

Fatty Chen's face was covered in cold sweat, he kept wiping it off, looked at the front, and then at the back, if it wasn't all soldiers, he couldn't help but want to run away!

There really are!They were brought back within a few steps and pressed down on the ground.

This made everyone even more fearful and more convinced that the emperor wanted to make dumplings and serve them all in one pot!

Fatty Chen walked forward slowly with trembling legs. Besides him, there were several leaders of the Hui Gang, but he didn't see a single member of the Shanshan Gang.

The group of businessmen were very disturbed, with mournful faces.

What followed was a group of highly respected people. There were many people in this wave and a lot of people were involved.

In the Huben army barracks, a group of people on the high platform were extremely lively, whispering to each other, and even walking around.

"Hey, is that Mr. Guan? Didn't you say he's dead?"

"That is... the old man of the Xiong family, Xiong Tingbi's father?"

"This is Mr. Pei Yuan from Tiange Academy?"

"Lady Yili..."

A group of people were very surprised. These people seldom come out and walk around. They can be regarded as the group of people who are "hopeful to have status", but they all appeared here.

This group of people was unusually low-key. They held signs, found their own seats, folded their hands and held their breath after sitting down, without saying a word, and the pace was very uniform.

Those who were already present all looked at each other in blank dismay, their hearts were suddenly startled, and they sat back one after another, not daring to speak loudly.

The chairs on the high platform were almost filled one after another, only the 20 or so chairs at the front were still empty, which was very eye-catching in the eyes of so many people.

Under the high platform, it was unusually solemn, and the soldiers stepped at three steps, one guard at five steps, and one sentry post at five steps, strictly prohibited.

The "Ming" flag flutters in the cold wind, giving people a sense of majesty and chill.

Time passed by, the sky was already bright, and today's sun was extremely dazzling.

The more than 20 seats in front are still not full, it seems that someone is late.

On the high platform, a group of people were whispering and discussing in low voices, guessing who else was there.More people are uneasy and apprehensive, and there is even a smell of disgust coming out of nowhere.

It wasn't until the sun was high above the head that the imperial envoy Qian Qianyi, the governor of Jiangsu Fang Kongxuan, the governor Fu Zonglong, Xu Jie from the left, and Shi Bangyao from the Yingtian government came in stride.

These people are all dressed in court clothes, and they look majestic and convincing from a distance.

Behind the few people were Mr. Wang Beicheng and some elders living in the wild in Nanzhili. They were all in their 70s and [-]s and walked relatively slowly.

Qian Qianyi looked calm, but his eyes flickered from time to time, and his heart was restless.

After all, he opened the letter from the Wu family, but he still hasn't made up his mind on what to do with the difficult problem after opening it.

The same is true for Shi Bangyao, with his head lowered, his brows furrowed, and he felt uneasy.

The sky is big and the earth is big, nothing is more human!

As for Fang Kongxuan, Fu Zonglong and the others were all expressionless, but their hearts were not much better. They were not worried about themselves, but were afraid of Zhu Xu, afraid that he would really make dumplings for so many people!

A group of people sat down in an orderly manner, and then all looked up at the front, the huge, empty field, and their hearts were anxious.

Not long after Fang Kongxuan sat down, several servants carried a chair and walked up the steps cautiously.

When a group of people saw the person lying on the chair with cloudy eyes and couldn't see the expression clearly, their expressions changed slightly, and many people couldn't help standing up.Including Qian Qianyi, Shi Bangyao and others, not to mention the businessmen, gentry, and nobles behind them.
