This way, it is suona and horn, and it is very lively to knock and beat. When I heard the movement, I thought it was a daughter-in-law, but when I ran out to look, I found that it was a team of soldiers hugging a man who was tied to the car. In front of the car sat a man dressed as a coachman, stuffing some dry food into the car from time to time for him to eat, as if the man was his cat and dog. Needless to say, this man is Xie Wu, and the man dressed as the coachman is Prince He. The prince likes to be lively, and this triumph will naturally make the momentum bigger.

Within half a day, this team had arrived in Beijing. The prince changed his clothes and was about to meet the emperor, but only then did he find out that Xie Wu was dead. Xie Wu not only died, but also died very strangely. He was bleeding from all his orifices, his face was black and blue, and it seemed that he had either eaten arsenic or drank Heding Red. The prince blinked and looked at Xie Wu, and asked casually: "I was about to take him to see the emperor, why did he commit suicide in fear of sin?" ”

A soldier replied respectfully: "Presumably he was afraid of the emperor's interrogation, so he committed suicide first." ”

Luo Qingsong and Gongzi and his party followed from a distance, and at this time, they saw the team stop and watched closely. Randie saw that Xie Wuming was poisoned, but he couldn't interject in front of Gongzi, so he could only snort sullenly. Luo Qingsong and Dark Xiang naturally saw that Xie Wu's death was too unusual, but seeing that the prince was just making such an understatement, it was not easy to ask.

However, Gongzi looked at Xie Wu and asked, "Lord Wang, I see that Xie Wu died a strange death, do you need to find a person to do an autopsy?" ”

The prince smiled and said, "What does Ruoqing care about him?" It's just a bandit leader, if he dies, he dies, and the emperor will be executed when he sees it. After saying that, he beckoned to the two soldiers and said, "Come on." Remove Xie Wu from the prison car and throw it on the road to feed the dogs. ”

The two pro-soldiers agreed. Xie Wu was dragged out of the car and thrown in the middle of the road. Two vicious dogs are looking for food on the side of the road. When he saw that meat was thrown, he barked all the way. A vicious dog bites the head, a vicious dog bites the foot, and there is no fight or grabbing, and the division of labor is clear. The prince got into the car again and ordered his soldiers to return to the palace on an errand. He asked Gongzi if he wanted to see the emperor together. Childe thanked him politely.

The prince did not stay, and drove away with great power. Luo Qingsong also said goodbye to his son and talked about it another day. When Luo Qingsong also rode away, Gongzi said to Hongcui and the four guards, "Let's go back to Jinxiulan too." ”

Hongcui was still wondering, and finally everyone dispersed. opened his mouth and asked: "Gongzi just said that Xie Wu died strangely, I think it looks like poisoning, he can't be poisoned, right?" ”

Dark incense also said: "The key is who poisoned him?" and Zhang scolded the duck who was killed, and they all died very strangely. Who is behind the scenes? ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard two screams behind me. They turned their heads and saw the two vicious dogs overturned on the ground, rolled a few times, and frothed at the mouth. Butterfly stuck out her tongue and said, "It's so poisonous!" I don't know who made the killer? ”

Childe was silent. After a while, he ordered: "Don't worry about it, let's go back to Jinxiulan first." ”

On Hubin Street in Shaanzhou, two butchers selling meat sat on the bench and talked nonsense. The butcher in the east is named Zhu Kang. He lives in Shaanzhou, Henan. The butcher in the west is named Li Ming, who was relocated from Yuzhou only last year. The two were basking in the sun, and there was no nonsense.

Li Ming smoked a dry tobacco pouch. Huhuhu asked, "Little brother, the business is getting harder and harder. Don't hide it from my brother. Last year I worked hard for a year, going out early and resting late. The pigs that have been slaughtered for a year have only a dozen taels of silver. Barely passing the New Year, at the beginning of this year, the county government has to levy a meat head tax. Grandma is a bear, people have a poll tax, and pork also has a meat head tax, which still doesn't let people live? ”

Zhu Kang held a purple clay pot in his hand, warmed his hands, and sighed from time to time: "Now this world is not easy to mix, and it is not easy to do anything." Pigs are not easy to raise, the official taxes are high, and the common people still think that our pork is expensive, which is really not easy to do. Brother, you earned more than ten taels last year, and brother, I only earned eight or nine taels of silver last year. Your brother and sister are afraid of being wronged with me, and they don't need me to write a letter of resignation, and they will never come back when they go back to their parents' house. Alas, life is sad, sad. ”

Four people dressed as white servants came up and said to an old man selling apples in front of him: "Hey, old Zhangtou, you haven't paid the fruit and silver tax this month?" Hurry up, hurry up, if you don't hand it over, we'll take your apples and hand them over to the yakin to pay off the debt." ”

The old man bent down and begged for mercy: "Two officials, it's only the fifth day of the new year today, and the little old man has only sold it for fifteen dollars in the past five days, and the master will take it away if he wants it." ”

One of the white servants replied, "Phew, who are you fooling?" What is fifteen dollars for? If you say anything, you will have to pay a tael of silver, so take it out quickly. ”

The old man cried with a sad face, and turned out all the money in the jacket, which was only a dozen copper coins: "Official, please see, the little old man is not deceiving, there is really only fifteen dollars." ”

The white servant snatched the fifteen pieces of money, and said hatefully, "Give you three more days, and quickly make up enough for me to get a tael of silver, otherwise you won't want to set up a stall here to sell apples in the future." ”

Lao Zhangtou was still begging for mercy for a few days, but the white servants turned around and walked away.

Li Ming spat out the smoke ring again and asked Zhu Kang, "Can you pay the meat head tax this month?" ”

Zhu Kang replied: "I handed it over on the first day of junior high school, and if I don't pay it, I still have to sell it?" ”

Li Ming said again: "But isn't it? It's not easy to make money no matter how you make it, if you want me to say, I simply pull it down. ”

When Zhu Kang heard this, he was taken aback, and leaned over and whispered to Li Ming: "Brother, be silent, just complain, don't talk nonsense, be careful to be heard, and take you into the county office." ”

Li Ming said angrily: "Anyway, if you take it, you will die, and if you don't take it, you will die, we are only a monk, what are we afraid of him doing?" Besides, if you can have a few days of good life, it's better than crying your father and calling your mother here. ”

Zhu Kang thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the same reason. He's cold here, and he can't make a few dollars a year. Look at those white servants who show off their power one by one, and easily take away other people's hard-earned money. Do they have an extra head than themselves? Why can't they themselves? Thinking like this, he immediately felt his blood spurting, and asked, "If you do it, you will do it, brother, how do you say we should be opposed?" ”

This question can stop Li Ming, and just now he said angrily and casually, this time really made him rebel, he didn't know how to rebel. Frowning and thinking for a while, he slowly said: "If you want to rebel, you must first have a name." Little brother, are you surnamed Zhu? ”

Zhu Kang replied depressedly: "Brother, my surname is Zhu for thirty-five years, and I haven't changed it yet." ”

Li Ming nodded and said, "By the way, let's say that you are the crown prince of Emperor Chongzhen, who fled to Shaanzhou to become a butcher." Today, the prince of your Zhu family revolted again and wanted to recapture the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Kang shook his head and said, "Brother, you are more dizzy than me." Think about it, it has been 100 years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and I am only 35 years old this year, and it is impossible to be the crown prince of Emperor Chongzhen. This name is too unreliable, or I want to think about something else. ”

Li Ming smiled and said: "The elder brother is dizzy, if the son can't be a son, can't you say that he is a grandson?" Anyway, your surname is Zhu, he is also Zhu, and you are also Zhu, who will check your genealogy? ”

That being said, can any person do the opposite? How can it be reversed? This is also a problem. Li Ming pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Do you know that our county government has recently come to a new Zhizhou?" It is said that he came down from the house to inspect the official style. ”

Zhu Kang replied: "I know, the day before yesterday, the little second son in the county magistrate's mansion took dozens of catties of pig's head meat from me, and he didn't give a copper plate, saying that the magistrate wanted to honor Lord Liang." I think this Lord Liang is the Lord Zhizhou you are talking about? ”

Li Ming nodded and said, "You are right. I heard that this Lord Liang did not live in the official office, but lived in the 'Fang family's old shop'. As long as we go to Fang's old store to hijack Zhizhou, and then capture the county government, won't it be the opposite? ”

Zhu Kang thought that this method was feasible, but how to hijack Zhizhou?

Li Ming said: "You don't have to worry about this brother, you can pretend to be your prince well." I know a few friends who specialize in this kind of thing. I only said that they had captured the county government, and they would take the money from the county. They are all people who want money and don't want to die, and they dare to do anything. ”

Zhu Kang said: "That's the best." I'm going to pack up my things and go home, and see if I can dig out two sets of clothes from the previous Ming Dynasty? ”

Li Ming said again: "You can't wear civilian clothes, just go to the three alleys to buy a set of costumes to wear, and they must be with dragon ornaments." ”

Zhu Kang nodded and said okay. The two went their separate ways. Zhu Kang went to buy costumes, and Li Ming also cleaned up his stall and went to find a friend on the road. Fortunately, these friends have nothing to do and are always available. Hearing that the county government's money was taken casually, he immediately became obsessed with the money and enthusiastically wanted to hijack Liang Zhizhou.

This Liang Guangshu has just come down from the mansion to investigate the official style and achievements of officials. In order to set an example, he simply didn't live in the official office, and he paid for the inn out of his own pocket. On this day, I was sitting in the old shop, making a pot of tea, and chatting with the boss, how was the harvest here? Is it easy to buy and sell? Can the official family still be honest? I don't want to, a group of men carrying swords fell from the sky during the day, and they didn't say a word, just asked, who is Liang Zhizhou? The shopkeeper was frightened and pointed at Liang Guangshu in a daze. This group of men stepped forward and tied up Liang Guangshu and went straight to the county office.

Liang Guangshu still didn't know why, and asked, "Are you the officials of the county government?" I said that if I don't go to the county office, I won't go, and I don't need to kidnap me. You can go back and report to the county, and if I find out anything that violates the official style and performance, I will be dealt with strictly. ”

The first man of about forty years with big shoulders and a round waist said: "I'm sorry, my lord, we are here to rebel, not to invite you to the county government for dinner." ”

Liang Guangshu was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale, and he stammered: "What kind of rebellion are you making?" ”

The man said, "You will know when you go to the county office." ”

After a while, they went straight to the county office, knocked on the door, and said to the officials inside: "We have Lord Zhizhou from the mansion in our hands, go and sue our Shen Zhixian, and say that we are the opposite." ”

The official almost didn't faint, and when he saw that they really had Lord Liang tied in their hands, he didn't dare to slack off, and went in to inform the county. (To be continued......)
