Chapter 1024 The Grand Banquet of Liao Duke

The Duke of Liao was invited to have a grand banquet today, and even the guards at the city gates in Shanghai County were invited to visit. This was really unconventional.

People inside and outside the city were all cursing.

"This is really a lawless thing. If someone comes over the sea and river, he will not even close the city gate. This will be the case where his county magistrate will lose his black hat."

"What's coming from the sea and the river? You're just a carefree thing!"

"Don't worry, did you forget when you were having trouble with Japanese pirates? Didn't they all come from there?"

"The thief has been in the city for a long time, so why should he use it?"

No matter how much I talk about it, I can’t do anything. I just scolded me a few times. When I was indignant, someone saw a group of people coming from afar.

There were actually thieves in the sky and the sun was blue. The people inside and outside the city gate were immediately scared and shuddered. Some wanted to run away, and some were frightened there. When the situation was about to be chaotic and could not be cleaned up, several big men shouted loudly at the city gate:

"Don't panic, everyone, you are from Duke Liao, you are from Duke Liao!"

The men in front of the door were dressed just like fishermen and people. The sudden shouting made people startled. Some people shouted in Songjiang Tuyu, while others used official language. Songjiang Tuyu was nothing, but this official language calmed many people. This official language with a northern accent really showed their identity. Most of them were locals or people further south.

Except for the north gate that is not open as usual, the other three gates have experienced this experience. More than a hundred people rushed over, and some people came here to help everyone and calm everyone's emotions.

Everyone was a little puzzled when they settled down. Songjiang Prefecture is now the territory of the Duke of Liao, so why should they lead troops into the city?

Although there were not many people coming, there were only a few hundred people. Judging from their actions, some people blocked the city gate, while the rest lined up to enter the city. Finally, some people thought of the most terrible possibility. Could it be that the Duke of Liao's troops were going to wash the city and plunder? This was a disaster.

Some people screamed, some people cried, and the wealthy families in the city closed their doors one after another, gathering male members to hold on to the door to be on guard. Some rogues thought this was an opportunity, but instead gathered to go out to the street to get a ticket.

But someone immediately beat a gong and rode a horse along the street and shouted loudly in Songjiang local dialect and Mandarin:

"Stop the street immediately. No one is involved when they return home and close their doors. If anyone wanders around the street without following the order, they will be killed."

Naturally, the common people did not dare to stay on the street, and they all hurriedly went home to hide, but the gangsters who gathered to rob were caught off guard.

Before they could get back, they saw dozens of cavalry coming from all directions. They were just gangsters who wanted to take advantage of the situation. They were resisting the elite troops under Wang Tong's army, and they were still condescending cavalry.

The cavalry rushed to the front, and the bamboo poles and swords and axes in their hands were of no use at all. They were directly missed by the cavalry and slashed with one knife.

During the robbery, he was still a little cruel. He was slashed by a knife, his body was broken, and his blood was squirting. The companions who were lucky enough to avoid him were squirted by blood, all of whom were frightened and their souls were scattered. Songjiang Mansion had been peaceful for a long time, and had never seen such a cruel scene. Many people even forgot to escape, and they were so scared that they collapsed on the street and collapsed and incontinent.

Sha Dongning was wearing light armor and riding on the horse with a long sword, but the two people behind him were Morigen and Batu.

"Sand team, all streets in the county have been cleared."

Sha Dongning nodded immediately, and there were several local merchants dressed up in front of the horse. Sha Dongning leaned forward and asked:

"Have you all asked?"

"Please rest assured that the locations of stolen goods and stolen goods in various places in the city and the residences of thieves on the sea have been found out. Please assign troops and horses, and your subordinates will lead the way."

Wang Tong's mansion was very lively. The county magistrate and inspectors were all in the main hall, while the rest were in the yard.

The table was quite rich, and this was a chef specially invited from Songjiang Prefecture City. The banquet was quite exquisite. The county's official businessman usually only had some wine and meat, which was a bit oily and water. I have seen so many tricks there, each of them shining. Moreover, it is said that this wine was a good wine brought by the Duke of Liao from the north. Who wouldn't want to try it?

No one noticed that the yard gate was closed, and there were footsteps outside.

"Subordinates will meet with the Duke of Liao, and the Public Security Bureau will be safe."

When the Shanghai County Magistrate, County Magistrate, and inspectors were in the main hall, they all stood up and bowed. When they saw Wang Tong coming in, they all wanted to leave their seats and kowtow.

However, after kneeling down and kowtowing, he did not hear the next statement of "please get up". Wang Tong stood there and said:

"Since the opening of Songjiang port, you all have made a lot of money. People who do business inside and outside Shanghai County will have to offer you some sacrifices, right?"

After Wang Tong said this, the following people were poured into a basin of cold water. The timid body was already trembling. The inspector was a warrior who responded faster and said with a hissing:

"Mr., the young man has been stationed outside the city to investigate. I really don't know what happened in the city. The villain is wronged."

"Didn't the goods that pass through you all draw 30% as usual? Didn't you still say that what is the Duke of Liao? You have to follow the rules of Songjiang when you come to Songjiang?"

As soon as the inspection was broken, all the strength was pulled away, and he suddenly collapsed on the ground and could never get up again.

"The officials, the officials are the right way to the imperial examination, and are the magistrates appointed by His Majesty. How to deal with them is also from the magistrate and Nanjing."

"This official is in charge of Songjiang, and all the civil and military officials of Songjiang Prefecture are under the jurisdiction of our officials. Do you have any thoughts about the will of the emperor? Do you think it is wrong?"

After saying that, Wang Tong ignored the trembling Shanghai County below and just sneered:

"If you can do things well and want to make some money, no one will pay attention to it. If you fail to do things like this, you will focus on making money. This money is messy and messy. What do you want to do with such a waste? What do you do? If you look at it here, you will lock it up directly by shouting and moving around."

The personal guards beside him agreed loudly, ignoring the civil and military officials of the county who had collapsed or collapsed on the ground like sieve. Wang Tong walked out of the main hall.

Close the door, and the people outside didn't know what was going on inside. They only saw Wang Tong coming out, someone sang a ceremony, and all the people hurriedly left the table and kowtowed.

Wang Tong ignored it, but picked up the drumstick and beat the drum on the side of the door a few times. The drum sounded loudly. The Shanghai people who had been in the yard were puzzled and thought that what was the matter of putting a drum in the yard. The wealthy families did not have this rule, and now they were even more confused when they heard about beating the drum.

It was at this moment that the door opened and a group of big men rushed into the yard with sharp blades in hand, surrounding everyone.

It was obvious that these big men were wearing short-clad cloth clothes of the same style and were wrapped in green cloth scarves on their heads. However, the people in Songjiang Mansion dressed were all acquainted with them, and they were all sailors and sailors on the large ships brought by the Duke of Liao.

Originally, it was a banquet, but what did you do when you meet suddenly? But looking at the fierce look of this man, it was not a good thing. Everyone was still kneeling on the ground, and it was too late to get up.

"You collude with bandits and harm the people, and there are even those who pretend to be pirates and rob wealthy families. Is there no royal law in the court?"

Wang Tong said coldly, the voice was not loud, but now the yard is extremely quiet, and hundreds of people can hear it clearly. Their appearance is not as good as those of the civil and military officials of the class in the hall, and some people lie directly on the ground.

"Since February, a total of twenty-six young women were missing inside and outside the city, sixty-one boys, girls and children were missing. Twelve merchants who came to trade in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, and twelve were missing. You are so brave. It is not enough to carry out stolen goods and sell stolen goods, and to carry out prostitution and gambling. You are actually doing such things that are harmful to the world. You can also do it in your hometown."

Trafficking people and looting merchants are all enough to behead and search the house. Wang Tong said the charges, and there were soldiers holding sharp blades around him. Who doesn’t understand what’s going on?

He dared to do such a bad thing, and he had the courage to do something bad. Wang Tong was about to continue talking, but someone jumped up from the crowd and pointed at Wang Tong and said loudly:

"Everyone started to make a fuss together. The law did not blame the public. If he was arrested and punished, we would have no benefits. There were not many of them. Let's fight!!"

The man screamed and yelled, and the crowd kneeling on the ground was a little turbulent. Some people were about to stand up, jumping up first, and the man was still there inciting:

"Let's catch this Wang Tong first"

Wang Tong smiled and shook his head, raised his hand and made a gesture. The archer on the roof of the room opened his bow and shot an arrow, and the long bow was shot accurately. He penetrated the man's forehead without even having time to scream, and fell to the ground.

"Can you use the saying that the law does not blame the public? If you all make trouble, then you will die!"

Wang Tong said again, the great men surrounding the public all took a step forward with weapons in their hands. Seeing this posture, the people who had just stood up were so scared that they knelt back.

"One one by one, climb out of the main gate and be tied up. Those who are guilty will be convicted and dealt with according to law. Those who are guilty will go back to do the job. I will give you justice. If you want to resist and feel good, I will try it. I will give you some pleasure."

The door was opened there, and more soldiers were waiting outside. I don’t know who took the lead. He climbed outward and followed behind him.

"Is it here?"

"That's it, the Cao family is the largest nest owner in the local area!"

After Sha Dongning and the people who led the way asked questions and answers, they waved their hands and ordered:
Chapter completed!
