076 Quell the riots
The frenzied thugs rushed into every house of the Huang family, and everything that could be seen in the line of sight was removed, including porcelain, jade, gold and silverware, calligraphy and paintings on the walls, low screens on the beds, and even copper basins and porcelain spittoons.
The Huang family has long had the name of the emperor in Tanggu City, and the Huang family's mansion was described by the ignorant grass people as the same as the Grand View Garden in the Dream of Red Mansions.
"Put it down...... That's my leather jacket...... It's evil, that's our master's Xuande furnace, you can't rob it......" The fat woman is now covered in mud, and the tears and snot on her face have been muddy. She struggled to crawl back and forth through the crowd, trying to catch the mobs who were grabbing things, but she couldn't catch any of them.
"Mom...... What can I do about this, these people are crazy......" Soon a man as fat as her stumbled over from the backyard, knelt on the ground and hugged the fat woman and cried, "Mom, my little concubine Qiao'er was snatched away by them, and these bastards even robbed people...... What about my father, let my father save us......"
The fat woman went up with a slap "There is no interest, the money is gone, you still think about the woman, the cheap goods bought for three taels of silver are a mourning star, and there is nothing good after she enters the door......" This slap was so ruthless, the fat son who was beaten was stunned at the time, and then the mother hugged her head and cried.
The entire Huang family compound has now become a pot of porridge, and the floating wealth on the surface has been looted as quickly as possible, and in the end, even the women in the house have become the targets of robbery.
At that moment, many people decided, and when they turned around, they would find a closed country, Mr. rice was cooked and cooked, and when the time came, they had a big belly, they couldn't escape if they wanted to, and they didn't have the face to sue if they wanted to.
Huang Juren and his son had a total of fourteen concubines, plus more than 20 maids in the family, all of whom disappeared on this day, and no one found these women for more than ten years. But there is an exception, Huang Juren's fat daughter-in-law is not wanted, this old lady can eat and sleep, and she can't work, so go back to be a pig?
"Don't be afraid, son, we just need to live, we have a baby, as long as we can live, we can turn over......" A mother and son hid in the corner, watching the family wealth scattered, but they did not despair.
At this time, the backyard of the Huang family's mansion was surrounded by more than a dozen big men, and the one who started was the one who fanned the flames in gray clothes.
"The confession surnamed Huang is in the stable, but you can't dig down directly, this old thing is really cunning, he actually dug out an underground silver vault diagonally, in fact, the silver is hidden outside the wall under the street......"
"Good guy, if you don't know this, you must be stupid to dig down directly, who would have thought of breaking ground diagonally......?
The man in gray took out a bundle of shovels from the wing room and threw it on the ground, "Come on, hold on tight, finish digging early, finish work early." "The shovel flew, the earth flew, and in a short time a large pit was dug out one person deeper. Just as everyone was about to play the hole diagonally, two large meat balls suddenly rushed in from the front yard.
"Emperor Heavenly Ancestor, I fought with you...... You brutes, why doesn't the sky thunder and kill you, you lack virtue......" It was the fat woman and her son who rushed up, and they watched the mob gradually disperse, so they cautiously went to the backyard stable.
I never thought that the Huang family's most hidden treasure house, the accumulation of more than 100 years of three generations of masters, would actually be discovered by these robbers, which was the last hope of the Huang family.
"Stop, all of you...... I'll fight with you......" The two meat balls rushed up, but only heard two crisp sounds, and the meat balls rolled back against the ground.
The man in gray thrust the shovel into the ground, pouted and said, "Damn, Lao Tzu is a bandit, I have robbed it all my life, and I haven't seen God thunder and take me away...... Tie them up for me and let them see their possessions run out......"
It's too cruel, what kind of soldier did Xiao Letian choose, he is really as bad as him. In front of the misers, robbing them of their property, who can stand this kind of torture.
Woowoo...... The two of them collapsed now, and they were left crying in despair when they lay on the ground.
After a while, the oblique hole touched a hard object, and when I looked closely, it was actually a blue brick wall. When the hammer smashed through the brick wall, piles of wooden boxes appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Okay, it's these silver boxes......" opened the damp box and saw that it was full of silver ingots, dense and a little black, and it looked like it was old.
I picked one up and turned it over and looked at it: "Damn, Kangxi thirty-five years? The Huang family is really a miser, and they have been saving money since the Kangxi period? Is this the accumulated wealth that military advisors often mention?"
"That's right, it is very clear in the book of the military advisor that our China has accumulated far more wealth over thousands of years than the wealth of the whole of Europe, but Chinese suppresses business, wealth cannot be circulated, so a lot of wealth is hidden underground like this...... Oops, what Mr. said is too complicated, I can't figure it out, anyway, I know that what Mr. said is right......"
"Yes, Sir is a star descending to earth, he said that it is not right to hide silver, it is not right, let's help them circulate, this is doing good deeds...... Hey, you two pigs and dogs, listen up, we help you spend money to do good for you, don't howl......"
"Ah...... "The fat woman and her son's legs kicked on the ground angrily......, and the mother couldn't even speak.
There are big animals and carts in the Huang family's mansion, more than 30 wooden boxes with slippery soil are loaded onto the cart, and the grass mats are covered, taking advantage of the cover of dusk to rush to Tanggu City, and dozens of strong men around are on strict alert.
When it was completely dark, the fat woman and her son stopped crying, and they struggled back to back for a long time to untie the rope.
"Mother, what should we do now? We don't have anything left......
"Don't be afraid, the money is gone, but our Huang family still has connections, I know who caused this incident, let's go to Beijing City and let those big people behind the scenes avenge us." After saying that, he took his son and walked out.
"Do you want to leave, this is not easy, if you leave, we will be unlucky......" With the voice flashed out a group of familiar faces, it was the catchers and helpers in the Tongzhi Yamen. In the past, they were respectful to the young master of the Huang family, but today they looked at them like dead people.
"Brothers, our family has suffered a great disaster, and the family wealth is scattered, I hope you will look at the past and let our mother and mother go......" After speaking, Young Master Huang took out the jade pendant on his body and the jewelry on his mother's head.
The head catcher took these valuable treasures and threw them into the hands of the apprentices, "Put it away, this is the evidence of bribing officials...... Young Master Huang, don't say that I don't talk about feelings, I came here in person because I was emotional, because I have to make you understand whether it is or not. ”
The head catcher leaned into his ear and said, "Don't be delusional, Lord Tongzhi has to hand over a letter of resignation, if you don't die, then we will die...... Catch it!" a group of catchers rushed up and tied them up, squeezing out the fat on both of them.
"Let's go, your Huang Ye is waiting for you in the prison......"
The sky was completely dark, Tanggu City fell into sleepless nights, and the surviving people carefully packed up their damaged houses, taking care of their limited belongings, and people didn't even dare to cry out loud.
The streets were full of horses' hooves, and the roars of the heralds were endless, and the Tongzhi Mansion had now become a hell of Shura. All the skills of catching fast and using the family to make a monk, one by one sinners took turns to pass through the court, and these people under Wumu even told about stealing sweet potatoes when they were children.
Huang Juren has now been beaten without a figure, and he even confessed to bribing the examiner when he was taking the show, and of course, he bullied men and women, and the things in the fish and meat township were also said. Including the two civil uprisings in Tanggu this year, how he harmed Qing Sanye, and how Beijing City instructed him, he did all the tricks.
If you confess, you will die, and if you don't confess, you will die, anyway, if you confess, you won't be beaten, and the old man really can't help but hurt. In the end, Zhou Mingkui held the confession in his hand, trembling like chaff, and every name written on the confession could scare him to death. He really wanted to destroy this confession, but the eagle under Jiu Shuai and Xiang Shaolong under Xiao Letian had been on the jury, and he didn't dare to hide a little selfishness.
At midnight, the anti-rebellion troops sent by the Tianjin General Army finally arrived, but they did not expect that the three thousand troops did not dare to enter the city under the order of the Nine Marshal. The Nine Marshals only divided more than a dozen cavalry members of the Jizi Battalion, and these soldiers who were shocked did not dare to move, wanting to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos to affect the trial? That is a dream.
Sleepless all night, when the next day was just dawn, a small sailboat on the edge of the Haihe River went straight to Beijing with the joint signature of the nine marshals Zeng Guoquan and Zhou Mingkui, and even sent it over with Xiao Letian from the foreigners.
A confession, plus a confession more than a foot thick, this is the final outcome of the Tanggu riots. The funny thing is that until now, the Forbidden City didn't know that there was such a strict riot in Tanggu City.
It is still the place of yesterday's massacre, and countless people have once again gathered on the dock of the harbor, and people have only come here today for one purpose, which is to witness the culprit of the Tanggu riots to be crowned.
The bluestone slab in the harbor was washed with seawater three times overnight, and the corpse had already been cleaned up, but the strong smell of blood could not be washed away at all, and blackened plasma could still be seen in the cracks of the slate.
Originally, the merchants and people of Tanggu were reluctant to come to this fierce place so soon, but the soldiers who came to invite them were so fierce that none of them dared to refuse in the slightest.
Huang Juren, Ma Bao, and the apprentices and grandchildren of the pigtail grandson, plus Huang Juren's family, were scattered and tied to thirty or forty. And at this time, they have been beaten so much that they can't even speak, and only Ma Bao has suffered a little less guilt, after all, he is a flag man.
But what about the banner man, when he met Zeng shaved his head, unless he was a figure in the upper echelons of the Eight Banners, no one could protect him.
"Xietai Ma Bao, gentry Huang Juren...... The conspiracy to provoke civil unrest, the crime is extremely evil, and not killing is not enough to anger the people, and the nine marshals have an order...... Chop!" Zhou Mingkui finished speaking tremblingly, only to see the sword light flash, Huang Juren's head rolled to the ground, and the blood in the cavity spurted out more than three feet high.
Surprisingly, however, Marble was not beheaded. Just when Xiao Letian was surprised, suddenly a dense bowstring sound, hundreds of feather arrows flew out from all directions, and Ma Bao was strung into a hedgehog on the spot.
Standing on the second floor of a cargo station at the wharf, Jiushuai Zeng Guoquan said lightly to Xiao Letian, "After all, he is a flag man, and what I wrote on the excerpt is that he was killed by an arrow after fighting, so save them some face...... "K."
