Chapter 288: Public Indignation
Chapter 288: Public Indignation
Corpses were strewn all over the field, and the ground was desolate.
As soon as the snow fell, it was covered in a white expanse.
Refugees who had lost their homes and possessions were crammed into makeshift tents, their faces blank, staring at the fire in a daze.
"Hurry! The general sent someone to deliver food! Someone lifted the curtain and screamed, turned and rushed to the next tent.
"Grain?" The people crowded in the tent were stunned for a moment, and then they got out one by one.
I saw a long convoy coming from the side of Ganzhou City, the first few cars had stopped in an open place, and a few red-armored soldiers jumped out of the car and were queuing up.
The new county magistrate, who had only been here for less than half a year, stood on top of the wheel and shouted: "Folks! The general sent food and warm clothes, and! The general said that as long as the villagers can name their own fields and have guarantors for each other, they will return those fields to you! ”
"Really?"
"Really?"
A small discussion rang out, and the crowd gathered from the ruins of the tents, all with suspicion on their faces.
After they questioned and the county order went to Ganzhou City to ask about the situation and left, they felt a little desperate in their hearts.
I heard that the land was also in someone else's name, and that according to the law, if there is no evidence of dependence, the land belongs to someone else entirely.
They are even more hopeless.
Now that his relatives have been killed by the Rouran people, and he still has nothing, the resentment in his heart is not a little bit.
"My lord, are you telling the truth?" The home was also robbed and burned, and now the wealthy family, who has no place to live, shouted.
He has 10,000 acres of fertile land and 10,000 hectares of grassland, which is under the name of the Luo family.
"Yes, it's true! The general said that if the court wants to pursue it, he will bear it! Speaking loudly, the county commander wiped away his tears and said: "The general said that even if the imperial court wants to cut off his head, he will not let the property of the villagers be lost like this!" ”
"Beheaded! Why chop off your head! A young man shouted, "Isn't it because you cut off your head to help us get our property back?" It's because he let the Rouran people in! ”
"What ****** you say!" A red-armored soldier said angrily.
The county commander grabbed the soldier, glared at the young man, and said, "Who are you?" If I'm not mistaken, you're not from Itabashi, are you? ”
He was able to be lifted at such a young age, relying on his memorization.
When he counted the losses in Banqiao, he had seen all the refugees, and the clothes on the young man's body were a little new.
"You don't care where I'm from! Am I wrong, if it weren't for the incompetence of the officers and soldiers, how could the Rouran people come in! The young man took a step back, still shouting.
"yes, how did the Rouran people get in? When General Luo was there, the Rouran people had never come in! The Hao family also questioned loudly.
"You want to know?" A man jumped out of the oncoming grain cart and asked loudly.
"Naturally!" The wealthy raised their voices.
Qin Guan dragged a person out of the car and said, "Okay, let's talk about who you are?" Why can Rouran people enter the customs? ”
The man was wearing tattered armor, dragging one leg, and said with a stiff face: "I am the personal guard under the command of General You of Wushan Pass, General You was ordered by General Luo Lao to collude with the Rouran people, and the switch led the Rouran people in, wanting to borrow the hands of the Rouran people to kill the new general Gu Mohan, so that General Luo Lao can come back and continue to be the general of the Northwest." ”
"You talk nonsense! You guys are here to exonerate Gu Mohan, so you deliberately found someone! I've heard that it's the city gate that Gu Mohan sent someone to open! The young man shouted.
"Oh, then tell me, how do you think it's exoneration, someone who came on purpose?" An eerie voice rang out behind him.
The young man turned his head blankly, and his head was only halfway turned, and he was pushed forward.
Standing directly in an open space vacated by the crowd.
And the man behind him had already pulled a letter out of his arms.
Opening the letter, the man looked at it a few times, sneered, and handed it to the Hao family.
The Hao clan glanced at the man in surprise, and read aloud: "Don't hesitate to disturb Ganzhou, put all the blame on Gu Mohan, and make the people of Ganzhou believe that it was Gu Mohan who opened the door, and it was Gu Mohan who made them suffer this serious crime, and it must not be noticed that this matter is related to General Luo and the capital." ”
"No, no! This is not my letter! They planted it! The young man shouted.
Handing the letter to the clansmen who rushed over, the Hao clan said coldly, "Then who are you?" I've never seen you, you're not from here, how do you know the gates opened by the general! ”
"I know him, he's from Luofu! He came to my house to collect money. A woman squeezed out from behind the crowd and said in a loud voice, "It is they who have deceived our fields, and brought in the Rouran, and killed the head of my house, and burned down our house, so that they can take over our fields!" ”
"Yes, yes, I remember, in the fall, he also came to my house to collect money!" A few other people also said with a blank face.
With a snap, a stone fell on the young man.
"Bastard! Villain! You're the bad guy! A boy cried, picked up the stone and threw it again.
"Kill him! Shoot him! Don't say anything about harming others, you still want to frame the general! If there is no general, Jiayu Pass will be broken! An old man cried out on crutches, "I know! I saw it with my own eyes, I saw it with my own eyes in Jiayuguan! They took advantage of the fact that the general was chasing the Rouran people and opened the gate of Jiayu Pass! It's all General Luo's men! They all want to harm the general! ”
"Beat him to death!"
The crowd was so excited that the refugees wanted to rush up and beat the young man.
was blocked by a group of red-armored soldiers.
"Everyone, everyone, we have to arrest him and go back for interrogation to see if he is still in the same party." Qin Guan raised his arms to let everyone be quiet, took the letter back from the hand, and said loudly: "Who opened the gate, who wants to harm Ganzhou, everyone just needs to think about it, there is only one thing, I want to tell you, our general, annihilated more than 70,000 Rouran people outside Jiayu Pass, do you know, in that battle, our general was seriously wounded, and there were thirty-seven wounds on his body, but that's it, the general still didn't have any rest, so he led the army to pursue the Rouran people, everyone think, If it was really our general who opened the door, would our general need to work so hard? ”
"And, let's think about what the lady said before." The county magistrate also said loudly: "When the Rouran people enter the customs, it is everyone who suffers, and it is everyone who is robbed of their property, but who is the beneficiary?" But the general? But then, even if you are framed, even if you are seriously injured, you still want to send you food and clothing, and help you carry a qiē general! ”
"Then, my lord, will the general be in trouble?" An old man asked.
"Yes, yes, they are so bad, we can frame the general, what if we talk nonsense elsewhere?"
"That's it, Lord Gang also said that the imperial court might cut off the general's head!"
"I like the General! The general can kill the Rouran people and avenge my father! ”
In the midst of the discussion, a small children's voice sounded in the crowd.
"Yes, we can't let the general be framed! My lord! We're going to sue those people in the capital, the general is right, it's those bastards who are wrong! Those bastards who robbed us of our fields and tried to kill us! ”
"It's the Luo family!"
Seeing the excitement of the crowd below, Qin Guan stiffened his face, but he smiled a little bit in his heart, and quietly glanced at the wealthy family.
After the envoy who brought the holy decree to summon Mrs. Du to Beijing finally entered the Longya Pass, a mighty Ganzhou petition group also came out of the Longya Pass.
During this time, the officials of the entire Ganzhou were purged, and none of them died because of collusion with foreign enemies, and all of them took refuge in Gu Mohan.
It was not a false refuge, but a refuge that left a deadly handle in Gu Mohan's hands.
