Chapter 1635: Strange Injustice
Zhao Hecheng was furious and claimed that he would write an excerpt and report it to the imperial court, and refer to Huang Zhengtao.
But Zhao Hecheng didn't expect that the excerpt he participated in had not yet left Fengzhou, but it was robbed by Huang Zhengtao's people and threw the excerpt directly in front of Zhao Hecheng.
Originally, according to Zhao Hecheng's method, when the natural disaster started, he would first open grain for disaster relief, settle the people's livelihood, and then talk about other things after the famine, and the disaster in Fengzhou would not reach the point where it was out of control later.
Huang Zhengtao relied on the soldiers and horses in his hands, as if he controlled the entire Fengzhou.
Zhao Hecheng and quietly sent someone to contact Geng Dongfeng, the two of them also tried to do something, but under the supervision of Huang Zhengtao, not only could not do anything, but also were controlled by Huang Zhengtao's people, and even the disaster was not reported.
It wasn't until the civil unrest broke out and the matter was out of control that Huang Zhengtao asked Zhao Hecheng to report the disaster, and there was no other information in the excerpt except for reporting the disaster.
Zhao Hecheng saw that the victims were all over the place, and now it is not so important to expose the matter of secret labor and cultivation palace, compared with the disaster victims everywhere and the starving floating corpses. However, the disaster situation should be quickly let the court know, as long as there is a minister who comes with the emperor's order, presumably this Huang Zhengtao will not dare to be so blatant and act recklessly.
Then, the victims began to riot, attacking the county government, robbing the rich, Huang Zhengtao led the troops to suppress it, but he couldn't stand the riots, and those riots formed three forces.
Diao Chenghu of Shihupo in the east gathered more than 5,000 people, known as the mountain tiger, and his subordinates all did not want to die, and they would kill down the mountain from time to time.
Phoenix Ridge in the west also gathered a group of bandits, the leader of the bandits is a woman, known as the Purple Feather Phoenix, and she is also a more fierce lord than a man.
And the original leader of a water gang in Daliang River also took the opportunity to sit big, and the gang leader turned over the waves and took control of the entire waterway. If you encounter a ship, you will rob it, and if you see someone, you will rob and kill it.
Moreover, many young and energetic victims of the disaster had no way to live, and they all defected to these three forces.
Huang Zhengtao panicked at this time, and ordered Zhao Hecheng to send out a second expedited excerpt.
When things come to this point, when the imperial court arrives, someone will inevitably take on this responsibility.
Huang Zhengtao kept Zhao Hecheng and wanted him to come to the top tank, but he heard that Zhao Hecheng secretly left an account book and event book to record everything during this time. When the time comes, as long as he hands over this book, he will be able to know the truth after a little checking.
Huang Zhengtao certainly wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether the person in the top tank is alive or dead.
Huang Zhengtao and Huaiyang County Shou Hongli secretly planned to kill the old and young of the family and blame Zhao Hecheng.
News came out of the city, saying that Zhao Hecheng sold and hoarded grain privately, fished and fleshed the people, not only did not act when the natural disaster started, but also increased labor, regardless of the life and death of the people, the transfer envoy was responsible for supervising the local officials, and after discovering Zhao Hecheng's bad deeds, he wanted to report to the imperial court, but Zhao Hecheng sent people to destroy the Manmen.
Zhao Hecheng was arrested by Huang Zhengtao and paraded through the streets, he had a hemp core in his mouth, he couldn't speak, and was beaten by stones and tiles thrown by people who didn't know the truth.
After touring the street, he was beheaded by Huang Zhengtao on the street.
When the old man talked about it, he burst into tears.
