Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1518, I guarantee it with my black hat

The streets and alleys of the Nanjing Industrial Zone are in a mess everywhere. There are smashed shops and shops everywhere, and garbage is everywhere on the roads. You can even see traces of burning in many factories and shops.

In less than three days, the bustling and bustling city turned into the ghost it is today. A large number of workers who couldn't get paid and didn't want to go back like this gathered together, forming a huge crowd .

Inside the Jinling Cement Plant.

"Li Hu, run away quickly. I heard that the government army has entered the city and set up checkpoints in various places to arrest those who beat, smashed, looted and burned."

"At that time, they will definitely come to arrest you. If you are caught, you will definitely die."

Sitting in the wheelchair, Ding Laosan looked at Li Hu and tried his best to persuade him to run away as far as possible.

"Yes, yes~"

"Brother Hu, run away quickly."

"If you don't go, you really can't go. I know a way out of the city, and I can go out of the city very easily. Now I go out of the city and take a boat to go overseas. I can still live a good life."

"I heard that in the overseas colonies and vassal states, as long as they are willing to immigrate there, not only will they be given land, but some barbarian girls will also be distributed."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking about going overseas next year, but here in Daming, is this still a life?"

"After working hard for a year, it's fine if we don't get a penny. We just want to get our wages back. Now we may be treated as rioters by the court."

"Why don't we immigrate overseas next year? I have a fellow countryman who went overseas. It is said that life is very good now."

By Li Hu's side, everyone was persuading Li Hu to leave now.

Because everyone has received the news that Mr. Wang, the chief envoy of Nanzhili, has returned to Nanjing, and the officials, servants, and policemen of various yamen have already arrested those criminals who beat, smashed, looted, burned, and stole on the streets. up.

At the same time, the Nanjing Garrison has already entered Nanjing City, set up checkpoints, and blocked Nanjing City. Invisibly, it seems that a big net is opening to everyone. If they don't leave, it is very likely that they will never be able to leave again.

"I'm not leaving. I didn't break the law. I just want my wages back. What's wrong with that?"

Li Hu said stubbornly.

He felt that he had done nothing wrong, he just wanted his wages back, and he didn't let the workers in the factory beat, smash, loot and burn, but just quietly waited in the factory for the officials above to make decisions for him.

"Ouch~"

"Where did you say that you didn't break the law if you didn't break the law? When the time comes, it will be enough for you to lose your head if you get rid of the hat of mobilizing a crowd to make trouble."

"Since ancient times, what the imperial court has been most afraid of is that people will gather crowds to make trouble. This time, the disturbance is indeed a bit too much. The large and small factories around us add up to at least hundreds of thousands of people. It's going to be a mess like it is now."

"At that time, the leaders in each factory will not be able to leave. I'm disabled. Anyway, it's nothing. I'll stay and support everyone."

"You are still young, so you can't just be arrested like this. There are old and young in the family, but they are all counting on you."

Ding Laosan looked at Li Hu with helplessness in his voice. They were all honest and responsible people, but they were forced to this point.

The government forced the people to rebel, and they finally understood what was going on.

"Yes, Brother Hu, let's go~"

"Hurry up, hurry up~"

"Leave all of you. Those local hooligans were all beaten to death. If you don't leave now, you will inevitably be exiled overseas. It's better to go now and go quietly."

"Don't worry at home. In this day and age, life is easy, and you won't starve to death casually. When the time comes, brothers will help each other, and your children will definitely be pulled together. When you are stable overseas, you can also raise your children." They all took it."

"Yes, yes, hurry up~"

Just as everyone was persuading Li Hu and others to leave, armies marched neatly through the streets and alleys of the Nanjing Industrial Zone.

"Tata~Tata~"

The sound of neat steps, uniform military uniforms and attire immediately attracted everyone's attention. In each factory, many workers immediately retreated in fright, and some even trembled in fright, and quickly hid.

Wang Shouren was riding a horse, walking on the street with a stern expression, looking at the factories, shops, buildings, communities, etc. on both sides of the road.

The originally bustling and bustling place has become so withered in just a few days.

"I will never let those people go!"

A murderous intent flashed in Wang Shouren's eyes. The scene of a prosperous age was because of those unscrupulous factory owners and big businessmen who deliberately caused trouble.

Obviously opening a factory has earned a lot of money, and the wages of the workers can be easily distributed, and everyone can celebrate the new year happily, but it happens that things will happen during the new year.

Not only did such a huge turmoil occur, hundreds of thousands of people made trouble here in the factory area, but it also alarmed the emperor, who was furious and mobilized troops from all directions to the south of Zhili.

This year, everyone is having a bad time, except those who cause trouble are still drinking flower wine on the Qinhuai River at this moment.

"Hmph, even if I'm transferred away, you can't expect to have a good life. Before I leave, I have to put you all in prison one by one."

Wang Shouren had never had such a strong killing intent in his heart.

Soon, Wang Shouren came to the gate of Jinling Cement Factory. At this time, the factory was surrounded by military personnel, and many workers came to the gate of the factory under the leadership of Ding Laosan.

It can be seen that there is still a lot of blood on the ground at the gate of the factory, and many workers in the factory are still covered with paint.

Wang Shouren got off his horse and went straight to the factory gate. Looking at the workers in front of him, he could see the fear, hesitation, helplessness and sadness in their eyes.

Looking at them again, all of them are absolutely honest and responsible people, but they have been forced to the current situation, and they are all trembling and terrified.

"I am Wang Shouren, the chief envoy of Nanzhili. I am late and have wronged you. Please rest assured, no matter what, I will give you justice and return you to innocence and justice."

Wang Shouren's voice was loud and clear to everyone's ears.

"This~"

The officials who came with Wang Shouren were all dumbfounded. This Wang Shouren dispatched a large army, sent officials, yamen servants, etc., and surrounded the place.

Everyone originally thought that Wang Shouren was going to wipe out the rioters here, but who knew that Wang Shouren came here to make decisions for these mud-legged workers.

"Master Qingtian~"

"Master Wang~"

"We, we're really not rioters, we're really not trying to rebel, we just want our wages back."

Hearing Wang Shouren's words, many migrant workers who were already nervous and scared to death, many of them were even ready to fight the officers and soldiers to the death.

However, Wang Shouren's words immediately made many migrant workers bow down one after another, crying loudly one by one.

Everyone is old at the top and young at the bottom, and they are all honest and responsible people. No one wants to be considered by the court as a rioter or a rebellious rebel.

What everyone thinks is just to live an honest, safe and stable life.

Wang Shouren's words reassured them immediately. It turned out that the imperial court did not come to exterminate them, but Lord Wang came to speak and make decisions for them.

"I know, I know everyone has suffered a lot~"

"I know that everyone has worked hard for a year. Originally, they just wanted to get their wages back, and then go home happily to reunite with their families."

"But they not only don't give you wages, they also hire local hooligans to beat you and bully good people. Everyone is forced."

Wang Shouren looked at the crowd and said sympathetically, his words spoke to everyone's heart, even the most guarded person couldn't help but shed tears at this moment, crying on the ground.

"My lord is really the master of Qingtian~"

"We wanted to report to the officials, but those officials not only ignored us, but also beat us."

"We are not rioters, we are definitely not rebels."

Ding Laosan, Li Hu and the others were already crying at this moment, they were all men of seven feet, and now when they were wronged, they also shed tears.

"Everyone, please rest assured that I will use the black hat on my head to assure you that your wages will definitely be paid to you."

"Please wait in the factory with peace of mind for an extra day or two. I will definitely arrest your boss. I have already prepared food and warm clothes for you. Stay in the factory first and don't move around. , and don’t go outside with people to smash, loot, burn, steal, etc.”

"Now there are some thieves who take advantage of the chaos and do all kinds of bad things. As long as you stay in the factory, I will let you get the money soon, and go home happily for the new year."

Wang Shouren looked at the crying crowd in front of him, and took off his official hat to assure everyone.

"My lord, we believe in you~we believe in you~"

"I just said that there must be good officials who will make decisions for our common people."

"My lord, we are all law-abiding people, absolutely no one will take advantage of the chaos to do bad things."

Ding Laosan, Li Hu and the others spoke hastily when they heard this.

"Okay, okay~"

Wang Shouren nodded happily, and as soon as he waved his hand, an official sent a four-wheeled carriage into the factory. The cart was full of grain, vegetables and meat.

"Let's go to Jinling Textile Factory~"

Wang Shouren rode on his horse and hurried to the next factory.
