The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2511: Liquidation of Dingfu

The reputation of the five great families defeated the families outside the palace, but the families of the other four states were far away from the capital, and they were still besieging government offices in various places because of the instigation of some people.

On the afternoon of the day when the five great families issued a statement, a rumor spread everywhere that the Criminal Court was now dealing with the chaos in Dingfu and had no time to split up. At most three days later, if anyone dared to besiege the government office, they would be deemed to have colluded with Qingguo and would be punished for treason.

This rumor caused a certain panic, and more than half of the families that besieged the government office left, and some people were even in a panic and prepared to surrender and confess.

However, there are still hundreds of families who continue to besiege government offices in various places.

Xiangzhou, Yueyang City.

This place, once called Baling, is the capital of Xiangzhou. It was officially renamed because of an article "Yueyang Tower".

This place is regarded as one of the two bases of the Fang Party, the other being Ning'an City.

But in this place that can be said to be completely controlled by the officials of the Fang Party, thousands of people poured in a few days ago, and even several families in the city participated, all blocking outside the governor's office, blocking the entire street, and it is still impassable.

As night fell, under the bright light of Wenqu Star, people here don't even need to light up, they can move freely, and everything is clearly visible.

On the long street, quilts were spread on the ground, and thousands of people were chatting, eating, drinking, or playing pot throwing, six-bo, go, throwing Lu, etc., just like a picnic, not afraid of the three rows of soldiers waiting in front of the gate of the state.

Deep in this street, a large group of people stopped at the corner, and several senior officials in official uniforms slowly walked out of the corner and looked at the people in front of the state office from a distance.

Feng Zimo, the new governor of Xiangzhou, and Fang Shouye, the Grand Commander of Xiangzhou, led several subordinates and stood still.

Fang Shouye snorted coldly and said, "These idiots are being used as pawns without knowing it. Do they think Jingguo is still the same Jingguo as before?"

Feng Zimo said, "We should be happy. A considerable number of these families are spies left by Qingguo. They should have exploded when Jingguo was in turmoil, but they were unexpectedly triggered by the Prime Minister's reform in advance. This is a good thing."

Fang Shouye's face was livid, and he said, "It's a good thing, but I am ashamed. Not long ago, I swore to Fang Xusheng that the spies planted by Qingguo in Xiangzhou were basically solved, but I never thought that there were still so many left. . Governor Feng, you are the new governor, you must make some achievements to show Fang Xiang. Fang Xiang chose you, you can't let Fang Xiang down! "

Feng Zimo's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said firmly: "Fang Xiang has been kind to me and helped me, so today's matter must be handled properly! What's more, these traitors who colluded with Qingguo should be cut into pieces! Governor Fang, you can go with peace of mind, the credit is equal to yours, if something goes wrong, this governor will take the responsibility alone! "

"Okay! Brothers, follow me to arrest Qingguo Xizuo!"

Fang Shouye finished speaking, holding the official seal in his right hand and issued an order.

I saw teams of soldiers jumping out of the streets near the state government office, and finally blocked the streets in front of the state government office.

Then, thousands of soldiers slowly approached, like two mountains, slowly squeezing in the middle.

These soldiers were obviously from the army, but they were all wearing yamen uniforms.

The families in front of the state government soon discovered the soldiers, stood up in a hurry, and looked around.

"What's going on? Didn't they say they would take action three days later? Why are they arresting people tonight?"

"Don't panic, they are bluffing, I don't believe they really dare to arrest people! If we are arrested, scholars from all countries will support us, and the Holy Academy will also support us!"

"Yes, don't be afraid! What can they do to us? As long as anyone dies here, there will be overwhelming curses on the next day's discussion list, and they will be in trouble!"

"Everyone, hold your arms together, we must unite as one, and fight against the evil government together!"

All the people present gathered together, and according to the way they had agreed in advance, they held each other's arms and stood together.

Soon, the yamen runners on both sides came to them.

These people began to shout and curse, and attacked the yamen runners crazily.

However, the yamen runners present remained calm and just confined everyone in a small space.

Gradually, everyone realized that these yamen runners did not dare to attack, so several people suddenly rushed out and attacked the vitals of a thin yamen runner.

Although the yamen runner was a soldier in disguise, he was just an ordinary state soldier and had never experienced a battle. When his vitals were attacked, he immediately fainted from the pain.

While continuing to attack the unconscious yamen runner, the few people shouted loudly.

"Yamen runner!"

"The soldiers are killing people!"

"Fang Yun sent people to kill us, we can't wait to die!"

"Everyone..."

Suddenly, a thunderous voice suppressed all the voices.

"The Qing State spies pretended to be good citizens and rebelled, attacked government offices, and assassinated officials. This is an unforgivable crime! All officers listen to the order, take everyone away, if there is resistance, knock them all unconscious, if the resistance is fierce, it is allowed to be killed on the spot!"

Feng Zimo's voice echoed above the street, and the air seemed to solidify. People from various families stayed where they were, not daring to move or shout.

After a few breaths, the yamen runners rushed up like wolves and tigers, and began to tie people up with the prepared ropes.

Those people then realized that the government was serious about this. Some of them cursed loudly, some cried and screamed, some knelt down and begged for mercy, and some simply pretended to be dead...

Feng Zimo and Fang Shouye didn't care about the reactions of these people. They arrested them all and sent them to the army outside the city for detention and began to interrogate them one by one.

Not only in Yueyang City, but officials from all over the country took action to carry out a thorough arrest.

At dawn, all the people who surrounded the government offices in various parts of Jing State were arrested.

Some people on the discussion list had already discovered it and began to criticize Jing State. However, Jing State used the arrest of Qing State spies as an excuse, and used officers instead of soldiers. In addition, there were too many casualties in the Dingfu Rebellion. No matter how those people criticized, most of the scholars took a wait-and-see attitude.

As the sun slowly rose, the Criminal Hall began to announce the results of the interrogation of Dingfu officials.

At first, it was only determined that some of them were spies sent by Qing State, who had been lurking in Jing State for decades, and they instigated officials to resist the court.

Among them, the highest-ranking spy was actually the Tongzhi of Dingfu, the second-in-command of a prefecture.

As for the prefect of Dingfu, he was the brother-in-law of King Kang, and finally confessed honestly that it was King Kang who asked him to oppose Fang Yun.

Then, the Criminal Court released several shocking news. Some people from noble families actually participated in the Dingfu Rebellion. They bribed the gangsters in Dingfu and organized them to participate in burning, killing and looting.

Finally, an even more explosive news shocked the Ten Kingdoms.

Among the officials who participated in the Dingfu Rebellion, a seventh-rank official was bribed by the rebels!
