Chapter 039: Debut
There was only one explosion, but the damage caused was very large. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The whole green pine was blown into several pieces, rushed into the air, and then fell into the panicked crowd with raging flames.
The firewood piles around the green pine were blown away, and the sparks sparkled mercilessly towards the people around them.
The nobles standing in the center were the hardest hit, and the solemn-looking shaman, who was in charge of lighting the fire, was killed on the spot, and his body was charred by the scattered flames.
The heads of other major families and their families were not spared, and the whole venue was wrapped in red firelight, and the cries of women and children, the roars of men, and the desperate weepings of the old people filled the entire county.
This is not the most fatal, the explosives are earth explosives, the power is not too great, and the extension range is narrow. However, because of this explosion, it caused panic in the crowd.
Everyone desperately tried to escape from the venue, but the people of the entire county were gathered here, except for the central altar and a trace of open space, the rest of the place was basically crowded with people, and it was difficult to move a step.
However, the sudden change and disaster have stimulated the potential of everyone, and also burned out everyone's reason.
Everyone squeezed out, their shoes were trampled off, their clothes were torn, and people were pushed, and they didn't have time to stand up, so they were trampled on by the people around them......
"Hehe, there are more than 20,000 people in the city, I don't know how many people will be 'innocent' killed in this incident."
Zhu flashed out of the crowd and quietly disappeared into the alley, as if she didn't hear the screams, cries for help and wails behind her, and her expression was a little obscure against the firelight not far away.
"Grandma, the old village owner and the uncle have all left safely."
A dark shadow quietly jumped over and whispered back.
"Very well, let's go back too." Zhu replied with satisfaction.
The 'fire' has been lit, and the next thing to do is to add fuel and firewood.
According to the news, Qi Jinzhi will be back in the next few days.
A light smile spread on Zhu's lips, she had prepared a big gift for 'Qi Jingguan', but she didn't know how 'Qi Jingguan' would feel when she saw it.
Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it!
β¦β¦
"Grandma, grandma, are you alright?"
Liu Hu squeezed through the crowd around him in embarrassment, rushed to Gu Jialuo, who had messy hair, and asked eagerly.
"I'm fine,"
Gu Jialuo's face was full of frost, and things had developed to the point in front of her, she had already guessed the plan of the Zhu family and the others.
What a vicious woman, for her own selfishness, she can't bear to drag so many innocent people into the water!
Gu Jialuo guessed that the Zhu family would use the torch festival to make trouble, and also guessed the 'weapon' she might use - fire, but she never thought that this person would be so cold-blooded and inhumane!
Listening to the sounds around him and looking at the hasty figure around him, Gu Jialuo couldn't help but clench his fists.
"By the way, how are Mrs. Duan, Mrs. Xue and the children?"
Gu Jialuo took a deep breath, suppressed the anger surging in his chest, and tried his best to stay calm.
"The subordinates have ordered someone to send them back to the back office, except for Mrs. Xue, who accidentally sprained her foot, everyone else is safe and sound."
Liu Hu replied in a deep voice, today's incident was really beyond his expectations, fortunately the eldest grandmother did not have an accident, otherwise he would really have no face to see the uncle.
"What about the families?" Gu Jialuo breathed a sigh of relief, Duan's family and they were fine.
"They, the situation is not very good," Liu Hu hesitated for a moment, recalled the scene he had just seen, and said: "They are too close to the fire, especially the people of the An family and the Yang family, if the subordinates are not mistaken, when the incident happened, the heads of the An and Yang families were standing behind the shaman-"
The shaman has already turned into charcoal, and the two masters, An and Yang, who are a few steps away from him, should not be much better.
"Settle down?"
Gu Jialuo's eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something, she reached out and combed her scattered long hair, and said slowly: "I can't care so much, let's just be fine, by the way, you immediately lead the officials of the county government to come over to extinguish the fire, and then carry the injured people to a safe place to settle down, Doctor Yan should have gotten the news." β
Although those people were not harmed by her, they were also affected by their husband and wife, and Gu Jialuo hoped to save one more person.
"This~~" Liu Hu looked at the East Street that was gradually quieting down in embarrassment, and said worriedly: "Grandma, my subordinates should send you back to the county government first." The subordinates have already gathered all the brothers, and with them, things are easy to handle here. β
Liu Hu didn't dare to forget his duties, and he was willing to rest assured that he would see the hostess return to the back office safely.
Gu Jialuo shook his head, his eyes were deep, "Don't worry, she won't let me die." β
Usa made such a big mess, it was an explosion and a stampede, and someone had to be 'responsible' no matter what.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that in Daqi, an important criterion for the evaluation of officials is that there can be no major public security incidents in the jurisdiction.
Gu Jialuo visually inspected that there were 10,000 or 20,000 people participating in the Torch Festival today, and the number of casualties was definitely not less than 100 people, which was definitely a major event in a small county town with a population of just 10,000 households.
According to the law of the Great Qi, there must be accountability.
A series of officials such as the Wusa County Order, the Wumeng Prefect, and even Yunnan will be held accountable.
As the person directly responsible, Qi Jinzhi, the magistrate of the county, will lose his official position at least and be sentenced to prison at worst.
The husband and wife are one, Qi Jinzhi is guilty, and Gu Jialuo can't run.
Gu Jialuo definitely has reason to believe that some people (such as the Ma family and the Zhu family) must very much want to see the miserable scene of their husband and wife being escorted back to Beijing.
Therefore, tonight, the Zhu family will never attack Gu Jialuo again, maybe there will be people arranged by the Zhu family to accompany him to protect him, so as not to lack the 'actors' when the 'good show' is staged in the future.
Liu Hu opened his mouth, didn't say anything, and turned around to direct the officials to deal with the aftermath.
The fire in the center of the venue had been extinguished, and the injured people had been carefully carried to the side of the open space by the officials.
The originally noisy street was completely silent, except for the uncontrollable moans and sobs of the wounded, there was no other sound.
The whole town fell into an inexplicable dead silence, and under the moonlit night, on the branches, a few crows quacked unwillingly lonely, which further exaggerated the ominous atmosphere.
Sure enough, before dawn the next day, a terrible rumor spread in the county.
"The new county magistrate is a murderous butcher who kills hundreds of innocent mountain people as soon as he arrives, and deliberately cuts off his head and puts it at the gate of the county office. The mountain people were angry, and Qi Jingguan was cruel and cruel, which finally angered the heavens, and the gods brought disaster on the Torch Festival......"
"Qi Jingguan is prejudiced against the Yi people, I don't know how many people he killed when he was in Shuixi, and his brother killed the eldest young master of the Shuixi family in order to rob women, forcing the Yi people in Shuixi to rise up and resist. Qi Jingguan, like his brother, came to our Wusa, and he didn't have any good intentions. β
"Qi Jingguan killed the second master of the Ma family, and threatened the Ma family in the name of 'rebellion', forcing the Ma family to dare not recognize the second master of the Ma family."
"Qi Jing watched the killing...... Person! β
By the time the day dawned, the rumors outside had developed to the point that 'Qi Jingguan was going to slaughter the Yi people of Wusa', and many people who 'didn't know the truth' picked up their hoes, hunting bows and crossbows, and even the brooms at home, and left the house without saying a word, and then approached the county government.
"Grandma, what should I do, there are more than 100 people gathered at the entrance of the yamen, and they don't say anything, they just sit there, still holding the murder weapon in their arms."
Sun Dabao's face turned pale, and his voice trembled a little, "Liu and Liu Zhutou are confronting them with the officials, and the old slave is worried that they will attack the county government." β
Gu Jialuo sat quietly on the Luohan bed, his expression indifferent, "They don't dare." β
Boom~
Sun Dabao swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, "Grandma, the old slave just quietly went over and took a look, those people believed in the rumors, their eyes were red, their faces were full of resentment, they, they-" had already lost their minds.
A group of people who have lost their minds, what else would they not dare to do?
Sun Dabao beat a drum in his heart, but he did not forget his duty, wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and lowered his voice to persuade: "The sage said well, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, those people outside are no longer ordinary people, for safety, the eldest grandmother should go out in advance to avoid trouble." β
Qi Jinzhi made many arrangements before going out, and one of them was a 'retreat that can only be used when necessary'.
When Gu Jialuo heard this, her calm expression finally fluctuated, and she smiled, "Steward Sun is right, those people are indeed not 'ordinary' people. Don't worry, I'm not going to joke about the dozens of lives of the Houya, let's wait and see what they do. β
Sun Dabao: "......" Grandma, now is not the time for you to be strong, you should be careful in everything.
Gritting his teeth, Sun Dabao persuaded a few more words, and the villain in his heart had already begun to break his fingers, secretly deciding that it really didn't work, so he rushed up to knock the eldest grandmother unconscious and dragged the person away directly!
Just as Sun Dabao moved his wrist and was about to rush through the screen to act, a figure flashed in from outside.
Sun Dabao was taken aback, he was a servant of the Qi family, and he had studied the Qi family's kung fu since he was a child, although he was not as powerful as Liu Hu and Qi Dayong's professional guards, but his six senses were much more sensitive than ordinary people.
He didn't even notice someone coming in?
Sun Dabao subconsciously put on an attacking posture and shouted, "What person? How dare you trespass on the county government?! β
But when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he couldn't help but be stunned, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
The person who came didn't seem to see Sun Dabao's stupidity, directly crossed him, bypassed the screen, came to the Luohan bed, and sat on the left side, "It's really lively outside, it's worthy of the Torch Festival!" β
Gu Jialuo stretched out his hand and handed over the tea bowl and said, "Is everything going well?" β
"Smooth, I guess they're already toasting over there, but I don't know what they'll do next."
The person who came picked up the tea bowl, blew it gently, took a sip, and sighed with satisfaction: "Good tea, I haven't drunk such good tea for a long time." β
On the other side of the screen, Sun Dabao, who had already been petrified, finally reacted, closed his mouth, and asked the ghost: "Big, big, uncle, how did you get in?" "There are more than 100 people outside.
The corners of Sun Chuandong's mouth, which was standing under the porch of the door, twitched, and said secretly: Anyway, Dad, you paid attention to the wrong point.
Well, in fact, it's not wrong to pay attention, but the problem is that Sun Dabao seems to have forgotten that their uncle, excellent martial arts, and the well-defended Forbidden Palace can touch it, let alone go back to his own home.
It is said that Qi Jinzhi, who is still in a cottage a hundred miles away from the city, is now lazily leaning on a pillow, ignoring the stupid question of his own housekeeper, and ordered: "Steward Sun, you have worked hard these days, and now it's okay, you can go back and rest first." β
Nothing, okay?
Sun Dabao's eyes widened, hundreds of people gathered outside, and they would rush in every minute to 'say the law', and the uncle actually said lightly, 'It's okay'?
However, Sun Dabao is a servant of the Qi family in the end, and the master has an order, no matter how unbelievable it is, he must strictly implement it.
The Adam's apple rolled up and down with difficulty, and Sun Dabao bowed, "Yes!" Then he turned and walked out of the upper room.
"It's still the uncle's words," Gu Jialuo muttered in a slightly sour tone.
Qi Jinzhi smiled, didn't continue on this topic, but changed the topic, "How about the loss of the county?" What's the reaction of those guys? β
He rushed back day and night, almost exhausted his BMW, and finally didn't come back too late.
Gu Jialuo smiled, with a little guilt, "Although it didn't cause a big disaster, it still implicated the people." β
And when it came to 'those families', Gu Jialuo couldn't help but say mockingly: "At first, I didn't believe anyone, and I was dumbfounded when something happened." Hmph, no wonder the five families together can't do a single Ma family, indecisive, and timid! β
Qi Jinzhi heard the meaning of Gu Jialuo's words, and said with a smile: "It's good that they can cooperate, anyway, they will suffer losses, what do we have to do?" "What he wants is the result, as for how much suffering those families have suffered in the process, it is not Uncle Qi's concern.
"There were rumors in the middle of the night, and someone surrounded the county government in the early morning, so the next thing was to deliberately provoke a conflict, and then go to the government and the capital to 'complain', and at the same time attack the county government by force."
Gu Jialuo was silent for a moment, and then speculated about the other party's plan.
Qi Jinzhi nodded, "Let them toss, I want to see, they really have the courage to burn my Qi Jinzhi's yamen!" β
Things were just as Gu Jialuo expected, near noon, the sun was hanging high, and the people sitting around the yamen were dizzy from the sun, the whole person was hot and dry, and their emotions became irritable.
Some people began to stand up and argue with the officials.
quarreled and scolded, and began to move while scolding.
Li Hu held one hand on the handle of the waist knife, bit his cheek hard, and hinted to the brothers to be patient for the time being.
The officials retreated, but the 'people' entered, and they pushed the officials angrily, cursing and swearing in their mouths, and approached the steps in front of the yamen step by step, seeing that they were about to climb the stairs.
Liu Hu really couldn't bear it anymore, so he slammed his waist knife out, luckily dantian, and roared: "Presumptuous, which one dares to step forward again?" β
Everyone was taken aback, and the few provocative people stepped back several steps.
Liu Hu swept over the people present with a pair of tiger eyes, and shouted coldly: "The law of Great Qi has clouds, attacking the yamen, and other complicity in rebellion, and the great crime of rebellion, once it is implemented, it will be punished, nine, and clan!" β
Every time he said a word, he would take a step forward, and in the end, the person was already standing at the front, looking straight at the sturdy man who was leading the trouble, and asked suspiciously: "What, do you want to taste the taste of nine families such as father, mother, and wife all being killed?!" β
The sturdy man was stunned by Liu Hu's momentum and couldn't help but take a step back.
Liu Hu looked at the audience again, "Or do you want to try this high-level punishment of the Nine Clans?" β
Everyone shook their heads in unison, straight mother, the Zhujiu clan also has a 'try'? Also, there are still low-level and high-level punishments in these years?
The scene was finally under control, Liu Hu retracted his waist knife with satisfaction, held his belt with both hands, and stood in front of the steps with a cold face.
A head poked out of the alley not far away, gesturing at the crowd.
After a while, someone in the crowd choked up and cried mournfully: "Woo, which of us wants to die? Which one wants to punish the Nine Clans? We just wanted to get an explanation. β
With the one taking the lead, someone quickly responded.
"Yes, yes, we are all ordinary people, we are living a good life, why do we want to rebel?"
"We've celebrated the Torch Festival every year, and we've never had an accident, but last nightβ"
"Someone must have done too much evil and angered the gods, and the gods have brought calamity, woo, my poor old father, who is over seventy years old this year, but, butβ"
"Woo, my brother is only three years old, white and fat, he laughs when he sees people, and he came to celebrate the Torch Festival, but he was trampled to death."
"Whose sin is it, O gods...... Please spare us innocent people. β
"Woo, Niang, Brother~~"
"Lord County, our relatives are going to die, should you give an explanation?"
"Yes, county honor, you are our parent official, didn't you say that you want to be the master for us?"
"County Honor, please call the shots for us!"
More than 100 people first shouted grievances, then cried, and finally knelt down in unison, shouting 'call the shots for us' while kowtowing.
For a while, the yamen resounded one after another with the sound of 'being in charge'.
There was such a big commotion outside, and the surrounding residents couldn't sit still, although they were scared, they couldn't help but open the door and poke their heads out.
Seeing such a formation, some people were hot-headed, thinking of yesterday's tragic situation, they couldn't help but feel a little resentful, and gritted their teeth and followed.
One after another, the people at the yamen gathered more and more, and everyone shouted nonsense, mixed with a few 'Qijingguan'.
Liu Hu couldn't help but be angry, someone dared to insult the uncle?
He narrowed his eyes and carefully surveyed the crowd in front of him, trying to find the prickly heads.
However, there are too many people, and the voices are also mixed, and occasionally someone scolds and scolds, and shrinks his head when he finishes calling, and Liu Hu can't find it at all.
The more than 100 people who came to make trouble at the beginning, seeing that more people finally came, stopped kowtowing, got up one after another, picked up the weapons at hand, knocked the bluestone floor, and shouted: "Qi Jingguan, we died so many relatives last night, we can't just die in vain, we have to pay for the debt in blood!" β
"Yes, blood debt and blood payment!"
"Blood debt and blood payment!"
The people behind shouted along.
In the end, hundreds of people shouted the words "Let Qi Jingguan pay for his family's lives".
The emotions of the people were also stirred, and the images of explosions, flames, and blood kept flashing in their minds, especially the people whose relatives were indeed injured in their families, and there was only one thought in their hearts: revenge!
As for how to take revenge, it's very simple, rush into the county office and find the county order to 'call the shots'!
The scene gradually got out of control, Liu Hu was horrified, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted loudly: "Calm down, everyone calm down first, don't fall for the poisonous plan of the gangsters!" Whatever the reason, attacking the county government with weapons is a capital offense, and it will also harm the entire clan, and even the nine clansβ"
"The Han people are cunning, they have always bullied us, don't listen to the nonsense of that surnamed Liu."
"That's right, we want to avenge our relatives."
"Revenge!"
Liu Hu still wanted to shout loudly, but no matter how loud his voice was, it couldn't compare to the 'harmony' of hundreds of people.
"Liu Tou'er, I, let's go back to the county government first."
Zhan Meng licked his lips and said in a deep voice: "Things are not quite right, if you continue to argue with them, they may really do it." β
"Yes, just a dozen of us, we can't stop it at all."
Duan Mao echoed, Rao is he is well-informed, and he has never seen this kind of battle, the flesh on his legs and stomach is protruding, and he whispered: "Although the county government is dilapidated, there is a high wall...... Also, ordinary people may not be afraid of us, but they are a little afraid of the yamen. β
Duan Mao and Zhanmeng are both natives and have some understanding of the villagers.
Don't look at the lively shouting in these people's mouths, if they really let them smash it, they may not have the courage to do it.
Especially those real people, although they are tough, they are not stupid, at least the stupid things of killing heads and exterminating clans, they will not do it unless they have to.
Liu Hu swallowed his saliva, nodded and said, "Okay, the brothers will return to the county government first, and then close the door." Everything is waiting for the county to come back and make the decision. β
The officials agreed, pulled out the saber at their waist, the blade was outward, and the guard stepped back step by step, until all of them retreated into the yamen, Liu Hu stepped on the bottom, quickly closed the door, pulled the latch, and blocked all the angry scolding and shouting outside.
Another head poked out on the side of the street, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly ran back to report to his master.
Zhu said with a smile: "Very good, the gate of the county government is closed, and the people have no way to ask for help, so they have to go to the government to shout grievances." β
When the trouble arrives at the government office, Shuixi will also hear the wind, Shuixi knows, is the capital still far away?
Qi Jinzhi, you are waiting to bear the charge of 'forcing the good people and causing trouble in the southwest'.
Also, the rebellion of King Annam is also the disaster of all of you!
β¦β¦
The capital, Princess Peak.
A carriage crossed a rugged mountain road and came to the mountain gate, where the coachman grabbed the reins and jumped down neatly.
A nun walked out of it, and when the coachman saw it, he hurriedly saluted, and took out a letter from his bosom, and presented it with both hands: "The little one is on the order of the eldest grandmother, and has come to greet the master, and brought some gadgets from the south, and please don't dislike the master." β
