The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 181 The largest gangster fight in the Hongzhi Dynasty ([-]-character chapter)
The imperial court now has two most powerful foreign relatives.

One is the Zhang family and the other is the Zhou family.

Zhou Yu, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Zhou, was over 50 years old, and was granted the title of Chang Ningbo.

There was a system in the Ming Dynasty, and the queens, princesses, and princesses of all dynasties were selected from poor families.This is to prevent the influence of foreign relatives from growing.

Therefore, the level of Zhang and Zhou's relatives is not very high.

It can be seen from the matter of collecting money that their level is low.

The two used the most primitive and notorious way to make money before - annexing common people's land.

In the spring of this year, Emperor Hongzhi tactfully reminded the Empress Dowager Zhou and Empress Zhang to control their natal children and stop seizing the land of the common people.

The emperor spoke, and the way to annex the land was broken.

The two found another way and took aim at the fish market in the capital.That's right, two prominent relatives started Gao Qiqiang's business: selling fish!

The nobles, rich households, and upper-class people in the capital have seafood to eat in winter.

Fishermen at Tanggukou catch fish, shrimp, and crabs, and transport them to the capital with ice.

Maoguyanzi Street in Nancheng is the largest fish market in Beijing.

The Zhang and Zhou families are no different from the black society of later generations.He directly sent servants with wooden sticks to beat away more than 100 vendors in the whole street.

Then the two jointly opened a fishing business.Monopolized the seafood business in the capital.

Only Zhang and Zhou's fishing shops can sell fish!I, Zhang Heling, said it!
Monopolizing the downstream market, they still think the money is too slow.He also sent evil servants to Tanggukou to purchase goods.

The fishermen should be given one or two denarii, but they should give at most three denarii.Just like pirates.

If fishermen dare to sell their catch to others.The servants of the two families beat the fishermen to death without saying a word!
Their behavior, in the words of later generations, is a typical black and astringent will use violent means to monopolize the upstream and downstream of the industry.

The dignified relatives, Hou and Bo, are so shameless just to make money!
On this day, Zhou Yu entered the Shouning Hou Mansion aggressively.

In the living room, Zhou Yu said angrily: "Zhang Heling, you think I'm a fool, right? This month, the fishing company has made a profit of 4000 taels. Just give me 1000 taels? What about sending the beggars?"

"The two agreed to add two and one to make five?"

Don't underestimate the seafood business.The two monopolize the seafood business in the entire capital and control the supply of goods.

Collect at a low price with one hand and sell at a high price with one hand.The turnover and profit of a fishing company are a lot of money.

Zhang Heling said with a smile: "Uncle Guo, be safe and don't be impatient. Who told you that you made a profit of 4000 taels this month?"

"Recently there has been a lot of wind and waves at the mouth of Tanggu. The fish caught are half dead. They can't be sold at a price. This month I only made 2000 taels."

Zhang Yanling interjected: "That's right, that's right. We agreed to add two to one to five, half of which is exactly 1000 taels."

Zhou Yu patted the table: "I'm three rounds older than you guys! But you're fooling me like a child?"

"Do you think the accountant I assigned to the firm is deaf or blind? There is a profit of 4000 taels this month, not much more!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get the money!"

Zhang Heling became angry: "Our brothers will treat you as a fool, what's the matter! If you don't accept it, you can get your share capital back! Let's break it up!"

Zhou Yu was furious: "I came up with the idea of ​​the fishing company. Why should I be asked to withdraw the share capital? If you want to get out, you two little bastards get out."

Zhang Yanling sneered: "Oh, I'm sorry, we are the younger brothers of the current empress, not some trash. If you call us trash, you are insulting the mother of the country!"

Zhou Yu slammed the teacup on the ground: "What about the queen? She sees my sister differently, so she calls her 'grandmother'?"

"You two bastards, you still have to call me uncle!"

"Little bastard, dare to blackmail your uncle's money?"

Zhang Yanling rolled up his sleeves: "Zhou Yu, I call you your ancestor! Shame on you! You have the ability to single out!"

Zhou Yu grows stronger and stronger with age, which is a typical bad guy getting older.He also rolled up his arms and sleeves: "One-on-one, one-on-one!"

But Zhang Heling said: "Are you good at beating? You can use it for a fart! If you are in the capital, you have to talk about power and background."

"We are all decent people with status! If we want to fight, we can't fight in person."

"Old man Zhou, let's do it this way. Three days later, we will each take people to Maozhiyanzi Street to compete."

"You don't care how many people we bring. We don't care how many people you bring."

"At that time, let's have a group fight. Whoever loses will give up the fishing company. How?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Okay! It's a deal!"

In the Hongzhi Dynasty, the notorious foreign relatives competed with the people for profit, cooperated in business affairs, and the two families quarreled, which led to a farce of crowds and fights.

The two brothers Zhang Heling swaggered through the market on weekdays and ran amok.Originally recruited many local hooligans and the like.

This time in a group fight with Zhou Yu, the two brothers offered a reward of ten taels each for victory, and five taels of silver for defeat.

The hooligans enthusiastically help punches.

Including servants and evil servants in the house, they gathered a total of 500 people in three days.

Zhou Yu was the uncle of the country in the era of Dabaozong.Treat the capital as your own territory.Not much to give up, and a full 1000 people were coded.

How could such a huge "preparation" escape the eyes and ears of Jin Yiwei?

On this day, Jin Yiwei's commander Tongzhi was on duty.

Qian Ning found Chang Feng: "Master Chang, there seems to be a gang fight between Shouning Hou's Mansion and Changning Bo's Mansion."

He told Chang Feng the news of the detection.

Chang Feng didn't take it seriously: "The two families are just bickering and pretending! There's no way to fight."

"Two are the younger brothers of the empress, and one is the younger brother of the empress dowager. I don't believe that they can fight on the street like hooligans regardless of dignity."

"They have to save some face."

Chang Feng made a mistake.He underestimated the shamelessness of brothers Zhang Heling and Zhou Yu.

Qian Ning regards Chang Feng as his master.Never speak against him.

Qian Ning said: "What Master Chang said is right. After all, both parties are uncles of the country. There should be no fight. It's all about talking about it."

Chang Feng said: "However, these two companies are too sleazy. They don't even let go of the benefits of the fish market."

Qian Ning echoed: "Who said it wasn't! A few days ago, my wife complained to me, saying that the price of fish and shrimp bought by the cook had increased by [-]%. They were the ones who caused the disturbance."

Chang Feng said: "If I have a chance, I have to talk about those two little bastards."

Chang Feng didn't take the news sent by Qian Ning seriously.The so-called carelessness lost Jingzhou.

Three days later.Cat's Eye Street.

500 people from both sides were mighty, crowded and crowded, filling the entire street from the north and south directions.

Since it is a gang fight.The leaders of the two sides naturally shouted at each other before starting the fight.

Zhou Yu shouted: "Boys of the Zhang family, you have only been relatives of the emperor for a few days? The pool in the capital is too deep, and there are strong winds and waves, you can't handle it!"

Zhang Heling sneered: "Don't forget what kind of business we are in! Selling fish! The greater the storm, the more expensive the fish!"

Zhang Yanling shouted violently: "Brothers, fight!"

The men and horses on both sides rushed towards each other like two torrents.

However, there is still a sliver of reason on both sides.Their thugs all carried solid wooden sticks, and none of them carried iron tools.

After a while, the two sides fought into a ball.That scene was really bloody and violent.

Although a solid wooden stick is not as good as an iron weapon, it will still cause blood when swung on the head.Immediately, the streets of Maotongyan were filled with blood, and the sticks and fists flew together.

Such a big commotion naturally alarmed the soldiers patrolling the streets of Wucheng soldiers and horses.

The soldiers reported to Commander Xu again.

Commander Xu brought hundreds of people to Maobuyaner Street, originally wanting to stop the fight and arrest a group of leaders.

But when he saw that the commanders of the fight were two little uncles and an old uncle, he immediately died down.He ordered his men to stand still.

Not long after, the Qian inspector of Shuntian Mansion rushed over with hundreds of yamen servants.

Qian Xunjian asked Commander Xu: "Old Xu, why don't you bring people up. The most benevolent area under the emperor's feet has turned into such a forced light."

Commander Xu smiled wryly: "Do you know who the leaders of the two sides are? On the one hand are Marquis Shouning and Uncle Jianchang, and on the other are Uncle Changning!"

"Master Qian, is it possible that you let me catch them? Do you have the courage yourself?"

Qian Xunjian gritted his teeth: "I don't dare to take care of you if you lend me a few courage."

"Looking at this posture, if the fight continues, hundreds of people may die! At that time, you soldiers and horses, and we Shuntian Mansion will all be in bad luck."

"We can't control them, someone can."

Commander Xu asked, "Who?"

Qian Xunjian replied: "Jinyiwei!"

After two moments of effort, Changfeng was on duty.

Chang Feng was drinking tea and reading "An Interpretation of the Four Books".

Suddenly, Qian Ning rushed in: "Master Chang, it's amazing! We're fighting!"

Chang Feng asked: "Who started the fight?"

Qian Ning replied: "The Shuntian Mansion inspector reported that the three uncles fought on Maozhiyan Street! There are two to 3000 people on both sides!"

Chang Feng's expression changed: "What?"

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the fight involving thousands of people is no longer a fight, but treason.

Chang Feng slapped his head: "I was careless! Gather all the robes in Wei! Bring all the weapons! Then go to the arsenal to get fifty firecrackers! Let's go to Maobuyaner Street!"

Chang Feng brought thousands of brocade-clothed guards and rushed to Maodian'er Street in a hurry.

Of the 1000 ruffians and evil servants, at least [-] fell to the ground, howling in pain.The fight continued.

The two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhou Yu are just like normal people.With Erlang's legs crossed, he drank tea on the south and north sides of the street.

Chang Feng shouted: "Stop!"

His voice was immediately drowned out by shouts and beatings.

The people who fought were backed by three uncles from the same country, and they regarded the people in the government as nothing.

Chang Feng yelled: "Fire gun team! Light the match! Fire the gun for me! Kill a group of them!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Nanzhen Fusi's musketeer let go.

What they fired was not empty guns, but filled with solid iron guns.

Fifty blunderbuss flew out, and immediately more than a dozen ruffians fell into a pool of blood.

The ruffians on both sides were all stunned and stopped.

Chang Feng yelled: "Jinyiwei, come to me! Arrest them all. Anyone who dares to resist arrest will be shot!"

The warriors of Jinyiwei rushed up.A few daring hooligans dared to resist, and were immediately stabbed with spears.

Seeing this, the rest of the ruffians threw down their sticks one after another, and they were arrested without a fight.

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling walked in front of Chang Feng: "Brother Chang, you came just in time! Zhou Yu insulted the queen and dared to fight with us. You arrest him."

Zhou Yu also came over: "Hey, I want to see who dares to arrest me! Chang Feng, I'm fucking your mother! How dare you shoot the person who kills me and the person who arrests me?"

Chang Feng frowned: "Uncle Chang Ning, you guys had a large-scale fight in the capital. I enforce the law impartially!"

Zhou Yu said angrily: "I know you have a good relationship with these two little bastards! If you have the ability, you can arrest me too! I want to see if you have the guts to swallow the sky!"

"If you don't dare to catch me, release all my subordinates!"

Chang Feng really didn't dare to catch Zhou Yu.

Jin Yiwei is the emperor's domestic slave.And Zhou Yu, according to his seniority, is the uncle of the current emperor!
Chang Feng can order to kill Zhou Yu's gangsters and evil servants with guns.But he couldn't catch the emperor's uncle.

Chang Feng remained silent.

Zhou Yu laughed loudly and said, "Oh, Chang Butcher, who I am in Jinyiwei, is a courageous man! It turns out that he is also a coward."

"I'm standing here! Come and catch me! Come and catch me!"

Chang Feng remained silent.

At this moment, a violent shout came: "Jin Yiwei dare not arrest you, I dare to arrest you!"

The person who yelled this voice was in his early thirties and was wearing a seventh-grade uniform.

This person is Nancheng Xuncheng Yushi, Jiang Mian.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were five censors who patrolled the city, which belonged to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Responsible for patrolling the East, West, South, North, and Central cities for security, criminal prosecution, arresting thieves, etc.

The Five Cities Bingma Division is nominally led by the Censor Governor of the Five Cities.

This is an official position the size of a sesame seed.Roughly equivalent to the director of the district security office in later generations.

Jiang Mian strode up to Zhou Yu: "Uncle Chang Ning, how dare you bring thousands of ruffians to fight at the emperor's feet. Where are the laws of heaven and the state?"

"I want to catch you!"

Zhou Yu saw that Jiang Mian's clothes were of the seventh rank, and said disdainfully, "Where did you come out to pretend to be a big guy? What are you?"

Jiang Mian said sternly: "I am Jiang Mian, the censor who patrols the city of Nancheng appointed by the Ministry of Officials!"

Zhou Yu sneered: "It turned out to be a lowly seventh-rank censor. How dare you arrest me?"

Jiang Mian said angrily: "I am the seventh-rank official of the imperial court, and I am not lowly. In Nancheng, as long as someone violates the king's law, I have to arrest him. It doesn't matter whether he is a relative of the emperor or not!"

Zhou Yu said angrily, "Catch me and try!"

Jiang Mian ordered his soldiers and horses to arrest Zhou Yu.The soldiers looked at each other, but no one dared to move.

Jiang Mian did not speak, but picked up an iron chain from a soldier's waist.Come up and lock Zhou Yu with your own hands.

Zhou Yu resisted and scolded: "Have you eaten the guts of a bear? I'll fuck your mother!"

Jiang Mian was always young and strong, and within a few strokes he subdued Zhou Yu and put him on an iron chain.

You know, after a few years, Jiang Mian didn't even give the emperor face.Not to mention a royal family?
Chang Feng looked at Jiang Mian with admiration.He did what Chang Feng dared not do.

Zhang Heling clapped his hands: "Good job! This old thing should be caught!"

Jiang Mian took the other two iron chains from the hands of the soldiers: "Shou Ning Hou, Jian Chang Bo, you also have to come with me!"

Zhang Heling's face changed: "You dare to catch me?"

Jiang Mian said: "Shouldn't you arrest it? You three uncles are just bullying and dominating the market. You even fought for the fish market."

"I'm arresting you! I will never be afraid of your royal status!"

Zhang Heling said angrily: "Brother Chang, let your people kill him! Jin Yiwei killing a seventh-rank sesame official is like crushing a bedbug."

But Chang Feng said: "Jiang Yushi enforces the law impartially. Why should I kill him? You two brothers should indeed go to prison and eat two prison meals."

Zhang Heling was furious: "Brother Chang, why are you turning your elbows outward?"

"Jiang, if you want to catch it, just catch it! Don't regret it! I guarantee you won't be able to eat and walk around!"

Jiang Mian also put iron chains on the two brothers Zhang Heling.

He was full of righteousness and escorted the three prominent royal relatives away.

Qian Ning was a little anxious: "Master Chang, you just watched that little censor arrest three royal relatives?"

Chang Feng said: "The law enforcement is like a mountain. Shouldn't the three royal relatives be arrested?"

Shi Wenyi asked for instructions: "Master Chang, how to deal with the gangsters who participated in the fight?"

Chang Feng said: "Catch them all!"

Shi Wenyi hesitated: "The imperial prison can't hold two or three thousand people!"

Chang Feng said: "They are also worthy of entering the Imperial Prison? Just put them all in the Weili school grounds."

The turmoil soon reached Emperor Hongzhi's ears.

Three uncles, one marquis, and two earls.He actually did such a horrific thing, and was arrested by a small city patrolling censor.Where is the face of the emperor?

In Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi summoned Changfeng.

Naturally, the quality of falling out and Long Xiao is indispensable.

Emperor Hongzhi rarely scolded Chang Feng: "Chang Feng, what are you eating! They were fighting in Nancheng, didn't Jin Yiwei get any news in advance?"

Chang Feng kowtowed: "I have neglected my duty."

Emperor Hongzhi scolded again: "What's the name of that censor? It's really bold, dare to arrest three uncles at once!"

After Emperor Hongzhi finished scolding, Chang Feng scolded Jiang Mian, but he didn't scold his brother-in-law and uncle.

Chang Feng said: "The censor who patrols the city of Nancheng is named Jiang Mian. Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Jiang Mian is enforcing the law impartially. It is said that the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, let alone the emperor's relatives?"

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi lost the status of Mingjun: "But they are the younger brothers of the empress, the younger brothers of the empress dowager!"

"Chang Feng, pass on my word of mouth immediately to ask Nancheng Bingma Si to release them!"

This is an imperial decree, and Chang Feng cannot defy it.In desperation, I had to go to the Nancheng Bingma Division.

After two quarters of effort, the Nancheng soldiers and horses were in front of the prison.

Chang Feng found that there was no jailer in front of the huge prison.Only Jiang Mian was alone, sitting on a chair by the prison door.

In his hand was an unsheathed waist knife.

Jiang Mian was afraid that he would imprison the royal family and implicate the jailer.Simply give the jailers a big holiday.He himself guarded the prison door.

Chang Feng walked up to Jiang Mian: "Jiang Yushi, the emperor ordered you to release Shouninghou, Jianchangbo, and Changningbo immediately."

Jiang Mian said seriously: "Chang Tongzhi, forgive me for not obeying orders."

Chang Feng was stunned: "The emperor's oral order is the imperial decree. Are you going to resist the decree?"

Jiang Mian's voice was like a bell: "The imperial decree to cover up the evil emperor's family is a wrong decree. The ministers may not obey it!"

The little seventh-rank censor has such courage.This surprised Chang Feng.

Not only was Chang Feng not angry, but he admired Jiang Mian.

Chang Feng said with emotion: "What a solid censor. I have seen too many censors, and it is rare to see someone with such backbone."

Jiang Mian smiled slightly: "Chang Tongzhi, I have heard of your notoriety as a butcher. If you want to snatch three criminal royal relatives from the prison, then please step on my dead body and open the prison door."

Chang Feng shook his head: "I dare to kill a second-rank court official who is corrupt, accepts bribes and runs amok, but I dare not kill a seventh-rank official who enforces the law impartially!"

"Let's do this. I'll return to the palace and return to my command. Just say that you refused to release the first prince and the second uncle."

Jiang Mian said: "It's better not to send it off."

Chang Feng walked out of the Nancheng Bingma Division.He is now worried about Jiang Mian's safety.

Report to Emperor Hongzhi about not letting people go, and Emperor Hongzhi must be furious.What if Jiang Mian was killed in a fit of anger?
