Chapter 1833 Dangerous Thoughts

Merchants are the most daring group, they are willing to risk their whole family to be executed for the sake of profit.

Businessmen are the most timid group. When facing a strong party, they often choose to be cautious and forbear, even if they are beaten by chickens and eggs, they still dare not resist.

The merchants were silently grieving.

The sergeant guarding the gate knew he was in trouble.

If it was just an injury today, no one would bother.

But now that someone has been killed, don't doubt it, the doctor of Jubaoshanwei has already stood up, bowed to the corpse, and then returned to the formation.

They are dereliction of duty!

One sergeant ran wildly into the household department, and the other wanted to come out, but was caught by a businessman's eyes.

Sad, angry, puzzled...

"Why not stop it? Why?"

The businessman probably had a good relationship with the deceased. He walked towards the sergeant slowly and asked, "Why didn't you stop drinking just now?"

The sergeant shook his head, "I don't want to mess with my upper body, I can't afford to mess with them."

"Can't afford it? Hahahaha!"

The businessman looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter stopped short. He said sadly and angrily: "Why can't you provoke them? Why?"

"Because they're moths!"

The anger in Fang Xing's chest was not less than that of this early businessman. He walked up to Brother Cheng Yu, glanced at the two panicked servants behind him, and asked, "Where did you have the courage? Who gave you the courage to beat people?" To death? Who gave you the right?"

Brother Cheng Yu could no longer control his body, trembling like chaff. As soon as his legs gave way, he knelt down in front of Fang Xing.

"It's them! They're instigating!"

Brother Cheng Yu pointed to the group of literati next to him to defend, then turned around and pointed at the two servants and cursed: "I just asked you to teach him a lesson, why did you beat him to death?"

After speaking, he turned around.

Kneeling and turning around was a bit difficult, but as soon as Brother Cheng Yu turned around, he saw the soles of shoes coming towards him.

Fang Xing kicked Brother Cheng Yu over,

He drew out the knife and put it on his neck, gritted his teeth and said, "Benbo can't help but want to kill you, hang your head outside the household department, to warn those moths, do nothing, but can be beautiful A moth that eats, a moth that only destroys!"

"Uncle, please forgive me..."

Brother Cheng Yu held the long knife with both hands almost subconsciously, and blood flowed down from the palm of his hand.

The great fear made him forget the pain, and he just begged, pushing the long knife away from his neck.

"Xing Hebo, that's all, this person is probably dead, why dirty your hands!"

Wang He came over to persuade him, then kicked Brother Cheng Yu and said, "You really are domineering and unscrupulous, our family just wants to kill you!"

Fang Xing turned his eyes to the group of literati, pointed his long knife at them, and shouted: "Hurry up immediately, or break your limbs if you don't leave!"

The array immediately accelerated, and then spread out in units of small flags.

The sergeants turned their guns and gradually started running.

"They don't dare?"

A scholar stared blankly at the rapidly approaching sergeant and asked.

But when he turned around, he found that everyone had run away.

run!

The fear of the army, the fear of Jubaoshanwei, and the fear of the demon god made these scholars run like crazy.

Fang Xing pointed at the two servants. They immediately knelt down and were obediently tied up by the sergeants. They couldn't see the cruelty and pride in beating the businessman just now.

Fang Xing stood there with a sword and said to the merchants: "Murder pays for life. This is my negligence. Is there anyone in the deceased's family who can inherit?"

The businessman who asked the sergeant earlier said, "Uncle, all the sons in his family are married."

The dead man's face was covered with bruises and his body was a little distorted. Fang Xing frowned and said, "Go and find his son. The fleet will give priority to buying goods from his house."

"Thank you, Uncle."

The businessman knelt down to thank him, Fang Xing said expressionlessly: "You are all so lucky to do it, do it boldly."

The businessman knew that he had offended those scholars today, so he raised his head and said, "Uncle, once these people gather together, the young ones dare not provoke them!"

"It's reasonable and legal, who dares to bully you? Just beat them! If the local government dares to protect them, report it to the capital and go to the capital to file an imperial complaint. Benbo will be your backing, and His Majesty will be your backing!"

Those merchants slowly gathered around, and someone asked: "Uncle, I'm afraid it's too late!"

"The local government is dereliction of duty, accomplice!"

Fang Xing said with a murderous look: "Which people have shares in your business? Tell me, Benbo is in Jinling recently, and I just happened to visit them all!"

The merchants were overjoyed at first, and then fell silent. No one dared to say those things.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Now he is trying to speak quickly, but he and his family are afraid that they will suffer.

...

The local gentry and the government are almost integrated, and the government will also go to the gentry to discuss and seek support when encountering major events.

"It's not a joke that the gentry control the place."

When Qu Sheng came back and found out about this matter, he was very sad. He was afraid that Fang Xing would be cruel and the household department would be involved in the whirlpool. The world will be in chaos."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "This matter is not easy, the best way is to increase the number of officials below, regain those rights from the hands of the gentry, and bring them under the supervision of the government... Taxpayers, this is once and for all Method."

Qu Sheng reached out to slap the table, but finally held back.

"Uncle Xing, you are digging the roots, watch out for the flames of war all over the world!"

Qu Sheng struggled and said: "This matter is supposed to have nothing to do with me, but...Xing Hebo, please don't try to trick His Majesty into doing this, the relationship between those people is intricate, they are one with Daming, that is to say... They are Daming, don't get angry and listen to me."

"Whether it's officials or literati, they are everywhere in the temples and down to the countryside, and the entire Ming Dynasty is under their control. Is it wrong to say that they are the Ming Dynasty?"

Qu Sheng felt that Fang Xing's idea was very dangerous. If the emperor was really persuaded by him to carry it out, the consequences would be so serious that no one dared to think about it.

"I've spent my heart and soul with you, Xing Hebo, today."

After many contacts, Qu Sheng felt that Fang Xing was not the domineering and unreasonable person that was widely rumored by the outside world, so he also wanted to make friends, so he continued: "Reading is not beneficial, who will read it?"

"The book has its own golden house, the book has its own Yan Ruyu, and the book has its own thousand bells... Where did all these come from?"

Qu Sheng stroked his beard proudly and said: "Officials are supervised and tested, but in fact they are not as good as those gentry! Do you understand?"

How could Fang Xing not understand?

He said: "These benbers all know that, as you said, the roots are intertwined, so we need to get rid of the bottom line, otherwise this cancer will grow bigger and bigger. When Daming is not enough to support it to continue to grow, it will be either internal strife or foreign enemies. , Change the dynasty."

Qu Sheng was stunned, and then smiled wryly: "This is the truth. Isn't the former Song Dynasty just fighting over and over again? What are you fighting for? Not satisfied! The people are suffering, but they are talking in the classroom, their minds are wrong, and there must be no good results in the end." .”

Fang Xing didn't know that Zhu Zhanji had already used this idea to test the important officials, but he was blocked.

"If there is no benefit, no one will read... What kind of sage book is it called? To coax people or ghosts?"

Fang Xing felt a little tired, he said: "This is a huge monster, it looks inconspicuous and doesn't stand out, but Da Ming is dragged by them, trying to take off, but these people are hanging on the wings, it's too heavy, he can't fly !
