Chapter 200
"You're really Jiulang?"
Meng Qingjiang took two steps forward, and the man kneeling on the ground slowly stood up, with a wry smile on his face. WwW is worth your collection. LīŧˇXīŧŗã īŧ¯īŧ˛īŧ§
"Fourth cousin, I'm Qingyi."
"Qingyi, you're not ...... How did you end up in this field? â
"It's a long story." Meng Qingyi still smiled bitterly, "For ten years, I never thought that I would be able to come back alive." â
Before Meng Qingyi knelt on the ground, Meng Qingjiang didn't realize it, and when he stood up, he found that he had a lame leg and a little hunched back. Seriously calculated, he is just a year old, and he has grown old like this!
"Shiro, sit down for the time being." Meng Wangshi wiped away his tears, and Meng Qingyi was able to go home, which was an unexpected joy. But the head of the house, Kazuhachiro, will never come back, and he can't even find his bones.
Meng Qingjiang helped Meng Qingyi to sit under the head of the Meng Wang clan, and Meng Xu and Meng Zhang took their two daughters to sit on the other side.
It's all family, and Meng Qingjiang passed the news to Twelve Lang from the clan, and Meng Wang's family never thought of hiding it from Meng Qingjiang.
"Jiurou, what the hell was going on in the first place?"
"In the thirtieth year of Hongwu, my father took me and my starling brother to the border guards to build forts and serve as laborers." Meng Qingyi's voice was hoarse, and his speech speed was very slow, as if he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and the order of his words was a bit upside down, so he could explain it clearly and clearly.
"The journey was very smooth, the border army who led the way and the cha ding with the roster did not embarrass us, and when it came to Xinghe to eat all the cakes, after serving the conscription, my father could also receive an extra piece of cloth......
Meng Qingyi fell into the memory, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.
The events of more than ten years ago have always been firmly in his mind, and he can never forget them at any moment.
If he forgets, he won't survive.
If you forget, he would have died in the desert steppe outside the fortress.
"Dad was very happy, and told me and the starling that when I finished serving the conscription, I came back with the cloth, and I just happened to be the restraint for Twelve Lang in school."
Speaking of this, Meng Qingyi paused, and the expression on his face changed suddenly.
"But when I was about to go to Xinghe, I met Tartars, a group of Tartars...... The general banner and the border army were killed, and Cha Ding also died. Dad told me to run with my starling, and I took a few uncles and brothers to run together. After saying that, he picked up the waist knife that fell to the ground and rushed towards the tartar......"
The hall was quiet, only the voice of Meng Qingyi speaking.
"Starling and I don't want to run, we can't leave my dad behind...... Daddy scolded us...... Before he finished scolding, he was tartarized...... Starling asked me to run, but I couldn't run, my feet were rooted, and I couldn't run......"
Meng Qingyi suddenly held his head with both hands and cried with a whimper.
"All dead, dead! Those who were still alive were bound up with tartars and pulled behind their horses like cattle. Starling injured his shoulder, and it snowed heavily, so he couldn't make it to the outside of the plug. The Tartars threw him away with his uncle and brothers...... I hugged the starling to death, I won't leave! left, just threw away my dad and starling! â
Meng Qingyi cried almost out of breath, Meng Qingjiang clenched his fists tightly, and Meng Wang's and two daughters-in-law turned pale.
"Seeing that we didn't leave, some Tartars came up with an idea, and those who didn't leave, stabbed - in the body, killed five in a row, and the ones behind were honest......"
Recalling the scene at that time, Meng Qingyi was still trembling unconsciously.
"I was tied out of the plug along with the nine of my fellow men. When we get to the tribes of the Tartars, we are slaves, we are cattle! Herding sheep, carrying tents, we do the hardest and most tiring work. When there was no food, we were the first to starve to death. With me, ten men in the prime of life, and now I am the only one left......"
"I wanted to run, ran twice, and was whipped off by a tartar with a leg. The third time I was caught, I didn't run. Shut your mouth and think of yourself as a piece of wood and a stone. I just thought, I want to live hard, and I will live to find a place where my father and starling are gone, eleven years, I can't let my father and starling not even have a place to sleep, and they can't go back to their hometown when they die. â
Meng Qingyi said intermittently, Meng Xu had already fainted from crying, and fell into Meng Sanjie's arms, unconscious.
Meng Wang's eyes were also red and swollen, but he did not fall down, but listened carefully, and wanted to listen to every word and word that his son said into his ears and firmly remember it in his heart.
Boss, Hachiro, Tartar!
Suddenly, Meng Qingyi raised his head and looked at Meng Qingjiang, his eyes were red, and his expression was extremely strange.
"Back then, my father shouldn't have taken the villagers to Xinghesho."
Meng Qingjiang lowered his head, and the guilt in his heart couldn't be erased no matter what.
In the thirtieth year of Hongwu, it was supposed to be his father and eldest brother who went to serve, but by having relatives with the chief's family, the names of Meng Guangzhi and Balang Jiulang were replaced.
"Also," Meng Qingyi's expression became more and more strange, looking at Meng Qingjiang's eyes, it seemed to be full of bitter hatred and madness, "There are still Han people in those tartars!" The Han people who lead the way for the Tartars! Except for being killed by the Tartars and tied up and stuffed, who went with them, but did anyone flee back? â
"No, none of them came back." Meng Wang muttered, "Only the officials in the county government sent a letter, saying that they were all killed by the Tartars." â
"No?" Meng Qingyi suddenly laughed, laughing frighteningly, "It's good if it's gone, it's all dead!" Wolf hearts and dog lungs, things with black hearts and livers, damn it, damn it! â
"Kuro?"
Meng Qingyi was wrong, as if he had hysteria.
"Mother, look." Meng Qingyi took out a dirty cloth bag from his sheepskin jacket, the palm-sized fabric could not see the color for a long time, but he took it close to him, opened the cloth bag, and inside was a hard lump of medicinal powder.
"Kuro?"
"Mother, do you know what this is?" Meng Qingyi gritted his teeth and said, "It's medicine, poison!" â
"Huh?!" Meng Wang was taken aback, "Son, is it ......?"
"Mother, this poison is not mine, it was given to me by Erlang, who was also arrested and taken to the outside of the plug." Meng Qingyi turned to Meng Qingjiang, his eyes even redder, "I gave it to me before I died." He told me that originally, this poison was prepared by the three of us! â
"What?!"
He also said that Rokuro knew about it, too. According to the original plan, it was planned to go to the guard and start again. â
When he went to the border to serve as a conscript, dead people became almost the norm. As long as it is not too excessive, neither the guard nor the capital will be held accountable, and even the patrol will not say much about the imperial history.
"Jiro told me that this medicine was given to him by the patriarch. As long as the thing is done, he will give his family five acres of high-quality fertile land! Rokuro was drunk and said that he leaked his mouth before leaving, and many of the people who went with him knew it! I thought it was a joke or something, but no one woke up, and our grandfather has been kept in the dark! Ridiculous dad is still protecting them, protecting them! â
Patriarch?
Eleven years ago, wasn't the patriarch of the Meng clan Meng Guangxiao?!
A blush flowed from the corner of Meng Wang's mouth.
I think that at the beginning, when the news of the death of Meng Guangzhi's father and son came, Meng was immediately expelled from Confucianism by mistake, and almost all the family's land was invaded and occupied by Meng Guangxiao, but he was still worried about the house!
harmed Meng Guangzhi's father and son, where did the fertile fields come from? It must be the land that has been taken by the family!
"Brute! He's a brute! â
The head of the family is dead, Hachiro Jiulang is gone, and Twelve Lang is also sick on the couch and can't get up!
It is not enough to occupy the fertile land, not even the remaining few acres of thin fields and ancestral houses, this is to force their family of orphans and widows to die!
"It's not a person, it's not a person!"
It's a human being, how can he grow such a beast-born heart!
Meng Wang's family knew that what Meng Guangxiao and Meng Qinghai did had nothing to do with Meng Qingjiang, but it was difficult to calm down after all.
After being shocked, Meng Qingjiang also knew that no matter what he said, Uncle Liutang and Balang were gone. Meng Wang's family didn't kick him out immediately, he was already thinking about the past.
But I can't help but know each other.
Jiulang escaped death and will not fabricate charges against his father and eldest brother in the vernacular. What's more, he also saw everything that happened back then. There is nothing to argue, as long as it is a human being, there is no such cheekiness.
"Sixth aunt, this is Twelve Lang's letter." Meng Qingjiang stood up, "Twelve Lang said that the imperial court will send someone to investigate the affairs of the clan." Daning and Beijing have all heard the news, and when the imperial court comes, it will not disturb the sixth aunt's house. â
Meng Wang took the letter and sighed, "I'm sorry for you." â
Meng Qingjiang shook his head and said, "Those girls are still locked up in the backyard?" â
"It's all closed."
"If the sixth aunt can trust her nephew, can she hand it over to her nephew and take it away?"
Meng Wang's and two daughters-in-law are used to working hard, and they are not used to using girls. The little guy is even worse, a widow of one door is easy to provoke gossip.
Meng wanted to take his family to Daning, but Meng Wang didn't nod. sent two mothers-in-law who chopped firewood for cooking, and Meng Wang's stayed. After Meng Chongjiu's death, the clansmen sent two more girls to her, each of them was a water spirit, saying that they were serving Mrs. Botai, but they actually understood what their idea was.
The clan elder spoke, but the Meng Wang clan couldn't push it away, and the people stayed, but they never mentioned moving to Daning. Just thinking about two years, the clansmen themselves understand that they don't have to tear their faces. I don't want her to save face for others, but others don't want to think about how difficult it is for Twelve Lang to be outside.
Sensing that the clan's actions were becoming more and more flamboyant, and he almost forced his life to occupy Liangtian, Meng Wang's family hurriedly wrote a letter to Meng, but found that the two girls in the family were secretly delivering news to the clansmen. The two mothers-in-law were very responsible, but Meng Wang's family didn't dare to take risks, so he asked his grandson-in-law to find Meng Qingjiang and locked them up, just waiting for the news to be sent to Twelve Lang, and then see how to deal with it.
"The two mothers-in-law are given to the sister-in-law by Twelve Lang, it must be good. Those two girls will be handed over to their nephews. â
"People are sent by the clan elders, so they have some sense of proportion."
"Auntie, don't worry!"
Meng Wang's advice finally made Meng Qingjiang breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, although the aunt was angry, she didn't really get angry. As for his father and eldest brother, Meng Qingjiang closed his eyes and did what he wanted. He pleaded for them a few times, and enough was enough!
He also has a small family, and his wife has just given birth to his second son. It's not that he is unfilial, people always have to think about themselves. With what his father and eldest brother did to the Twelve Lang family, he couldn't open his mouth even if he didn't want to.
The two girls were taken out of the backyard and wanted to say mercy to the Meng Wang's family, but they were twisted by their arms and gagged by the mother-in-law who walked out together.
"People will be sent to the clan elder and the patriarch's house first." Meng Qingjiang saw that the Meng Wang clan did not object, so he continued, "My nephew still has to go to Uncle Cheng's house." â
Meng Cheng is Meng Chongjiu's eldest son, and the clansmen, invasion, occupation, and fertile land, Meng Chongjiu did not touch his hands, but persuaded the clansmen to stop as soon as possible. However, the clansmen did not listen to persuasion, and even the clan elders were also fascinated by gold and silver.
"Should go." Meng Wang looked at Meng Qingyi and stopped talking. After hesitating for a while, he dispelled the idea. Jiulang returned to Tun to avoid people, and when everything was over, he would go to reapply for household registration, and it would not be too late to meet Uncle Jiu's family.
When Meng Qingjiang left, Meng Qingyi didn't say anything.
It wasn't until he walked out of the hall that a faint voice came from behind him, "Mother, Twelve Lang will come back...... I can't just let go of the ...... who hurt my father and starling."
After a pause, Meng Qingjiang did not look back after all.
Since succeeding Meng Guangxiao as the patriarch, Meng Guangshun has always been smooth sailing and very proud.
Suddenly, I saw that the girl who was sent to Twelve Lang's house was sent back by Meng Qingjiang, and I couldn't react for a while.
"Shiro, what the hell is going on?"
Meng Qingjiang didn't say much, the person arrived, turned around and left. It's the same in the old family of the clan. The angry clan boss scolded him for disrespecting his elders.
"Shiro acts like this, do you still think you are Meng's son?!"
"It is precisely because of the surname Meng that Qingjiang wants to remind you that if you don't have enough people's hearts, you will suffer disaster!"
The words were blunt, ignoring the clan elder's jumping feet and scolding.
When he went to Meng Cheng's house, more than a dozen Jinyi guards, together with the border troops transferred from Yingzhou Wei, had already entered Mengjiatun.
Ji Gang, who led the team, rode on a horse, took out a list from his arms, looked at the Meng clan people who were taken out of his home by the border army, and said coldly: "According to the list, arrest them all!" Men over the age of fifteen are used in the army to serve on the side, and under the age of fifteen, they are sent to Zunhua to fry iron. The family sent the side of the Tuntian. Copy the property of the confiscated land deed and make a book, and submit it to the command before making a decision. Remember, don't disturb Mrs. Botai, otherwise, this official will be the first to let go! â
"Obey!"
The border army acted together with the Jinyi Guard, and all those who were on the list, from the elders of the Meng clan to the patriarchs of the Meng clan, to the ordinary clansmen, did not escape.
There are especially many land deeds copied from the homes of several clan elders and patriarchs. There is Meng's name on the surface, but the real owner is the Meng clan who is holding the land deed.
"Please see."
Taking the stack of field deeds handed over by the captain, Ji Gang asked, "It's all here, haven't you been left behind?" â
"Returning to Tongzhi, the brothers will never dare to be careless, nor will they dare to hide privately."
"Yes." Ji Gang nodded, "The one in the east, but the old family house mentioned by Uncle Meng?" â
"Exactly."
"Don't be disturbed."
"Yes."
The movements of the Jinyi guards and the border army were very fast, and there was a commotion in Mengjiatun at first, with endless cries and scolding, and then quickly disappeared. Facing the unsheathed waist knife, no one felt a chill.
"Leave a few people here to watch with Liu Baihu. You and this official will go to Xingzhou Wei. â
Ji Gang took the list back into his arms and pulled up the reins.
Meng Guangxiao, Meng Qinghai, no one can run away from them. There is no need to fight on the border, and it has something to do with the "unknown origin" ones, and the father and son must at least peel off a layer of skin in the edict.
Whether they are dead or alive, perhaps it should be said, whether they die early or late, depends only on their creation.
The news of Shuntianfu soon reached the capital, and similarly, the wrongdoings committed by the Meng clan were lifted.
The court immediately set off a wave of crusade against Xingningbo.
Meng took leave and did not go to court, but the news was very well-informed.
"Otherwise, I'll go back to the prison for a while?"
This proposal was immediately rejected by the Dingguo Gong.
Commander Yang, who came to ask for the loss of the cell, shook his head like a rattle.
Just kidding, what if the North Town Fusi is also demolished, let him move to the South Town Fu Division to work? will laugh off the big teeth of the commanders of the Jinyi Guards of the past generations!
"But it's not a problem to go on like this." Meng saw very clearly that eighty percent of the Meng clan was just an introduction, in order to lead out bigger fish. Otherwise, everyone will be arrested, the land will be returned, and several commanders involved in the resale of timber will also be convicted.
Just in case, he still continued to live in Jinyi Prison, which was safer. The "first evil" has entered the prison cell, what else do others have to say?
"Not necessarily."
Shen Xuan was categorical, and there was a great deal of Meng daring to enter the edict, and he even wanted to demolish the Beizhen Fusi together.
Uncle Meng was honest immediately.
Come on, Commander Yang is still good, although he will ask for accounts when he sees the sky...... Don't hurt others.
If you can't go to Jinyi Prison, you should either go to Tianfu? Or the Criminal Department?
Without waiting for Uncle Meng to make a choice, Shen Xuan began to exert his strength.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thoroughly saw how the Duke of Dingguo learned and applied the art of war, and he lowered ten meetings in the court, and successively laid down four supervising imperial historians, two waiters, and six in the matter. There are people in the governor's mansion who don't know each other, and they are also photographed.
After filming in the court, the court continued to learn.
Is Lao Tzu a literati? Old?
Well, son.
Martial arts can't be done?
Then Wendou!
As a result, the ministers once again witnessed a miracle, and Dingguo Gong not only fought wars, but also wrote poems and made articles.
Quoting scriptures and expounding the meaning of the scriptures, the four books and five classics are recited backwards. But anyone who has studied with him, nine out of ten feel that life is dark, and he has studied hard for ten years, and he is not as good as a martial artist!
The remaining one was also impressed by Shen Xuan's martial arts and was bedridden. Speaking from facts, it is really "folded" before "served".
There was a new gossip in the capital, and the Duke of Dingguo suddenly became famous.
Meng felt that it was inappropriate. He didn't want to be in the limelight, but he didn't want Shen Xuan to replace him and be pushed to the forefront.
Shen Xuan pinched his earlobe and said, "Xuan said, leave everything to me, and Twelve Lang can rest assured." â
Uncle Meng still didn't give up, and wanted to say more. Grandpa Guo didn't talk much nonsense, and just gaged his mouth.
Zhu Di received a report from Jinyiwei, and then looked at Shen Xuan's various actions, and his hands became more and more itchy.
Shen Xuan was outside the palace and would never enter the palace if he had nothing to do, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, who were "detained" in Beijing and not allowed to return to the domain, were unlucky.
Martial arts are a cut off, pump!
Reading is two cuts, and then pumping!
The comprehensive strength is three cuts, continue to draw!
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui jumped up and down, and they lost their face in front of their sons and nephews.
Zhu Di was angry, and immediately issued an order, "Zhao Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, and Yongle were exempted from paying taxes and silver five years ago, and recovering the unfinished salt and grain beans and stolen courses." â
"If a meritorious person is convicted, he can redeem the money to redeem the crime or make meritorious service with the army, and he will be exempted from punishment."
"Those who make false accusations shall be severely punished as the crime of false accusation."
The edicts were issued one after another, and those who did not know it shouted that the Son of Heaven was sacred, generous and benevolent, and loved the people like a son, and he was the king of the world.
Those who knew the inside story, such as Zhu Gaoxu's brothers and Zheng He Hou Xian, who were close to him, could only be silent and speechless.
Xingning Bojian is in the heart of the emperor, and throughout the world, there is almost no one who is unsurpassed.
The author has something to say:
