Chapter 752: Complaint Meeting
Master Fu Qing was mixed in the crowd of troublemakers, and was squeezed to the wall and stood for a while, when he suddenly heard Qin Xuance's shout, he looked around, and said to Xin Yixue: "Let's go over." β
An old man and a young man squeezed through the crowd with some difficulty and walked towards the gate of the Confucian Mansion.
"The government is going to make decisions for us......"
"Don't listen to their ......"
The crowd kept shouting, but there were officials in town, but nothing happened. The scene of the two waves of officers and soldiers carrying their heads just now really frightened away their momentum.
Master Fu Qing walked through it, and if he saw someone running away, he smiled and persuaded: "It's okay to take a look, Duke Yu is going to be the master of the big guy......"
He actually wanted to find the old man he had just asked, to see if the other party's mind would change.
It's a pity that there are too many people and too messy, and he can't find the old man.
Finally squeezed to the gate, he looked at it, and saw that the officers and soldiers had already arranged the array, guarding the Confucian Mansion, and using spears to separate the crowd, only letting people stand outside to watch.
And in the Confucian Mansion, in the huge open space between the gate and the Chongguang Gate, the head that Qin Xuance brought back had been opened, and many people were scattered and stood apart, as if they were going to try the case here.
The scene was still very chaotic, Fu Qingzhu was dangling, Xin Xueyi took out the seal letter and showed it to the officers and soldiers, and the old and the young entered the gate and looked for a place with a good sight.
After a long while, Wang Xiao led the people out......
"Bang!"
A bang sounded, and the first voice was taken.
One soldier shouted, "Silence! β
"Mighty ......" officers and soldiers beat the ground with spears.
The people were already afraid of this kind of sound in their bones, so they subconsciously quieted down.
Wang Xiao pointed to the leftmost head on the ground and asked the gentry, "Don't you ask why I used lynching indiscriminately?" β
The gentry were silent.
Mao Jiuhua closed his eyes, this time he really felt that the light outside was too bright, and a pair of old eyes looked uncomfortable. He felt tired when he sat in the hall, and at this time, he was taken out by Wang Xiao to stand, and he didn't have the strength to ask, so he didn't pay attention to Wang Xiao at all.
In the end, Fu Ticketchu stood up and asked loudly: "Why does Guogong abuse lynching?!" β
"Who said I was abusing lynching?" Wang smiled and said, "Commander Geng, let's try it." β
"Yes!" Uncle Geng shouted, "Bring it up." β
Fu Piaochu suddenly felt like Wang Xiao's praise, and he was very unhappy in his heart, so he was silent......
After a while, the brocade guard put on an old man in ragged clothes.
The old man cowered, as if he had no bones, and was carried all the way to Sun's mansion by the brocade guards.
As soon as the brocade guard let go of his hand, he knelt on the ground.
"Grass People...... Wu Guangli, meet all the officials. β
Qin Xuance stepped forward, picked up the head, and asked, "Do you recognize this person?" β
Wu Guangli was frightened and muttered, "I recognize ......"
"Who is it?"
"Yes...... It's the master of the grass people, and the horse is ......."
"Sir, what is his name?"
"Grass People...... The grass people don't dare to call the old man by his name......"
Qin Xuance's eyes widened, Wu Guangli was frightened, and said: "The main family is called Ma Zhifei, he has more than 60 hectares of land and more than 200 tenants. β
"Are you still going to sue? What did he do? β
"The grass people complained, the grass people complained. The grass man's daughter was only seventeen years old last year, married Zhang Zijing of the fruit farm, and on the night of marriage, Ma Zhifei carried the grass man's daughter to his house with a sedan chair, and returned it ten days later......
Qin Xuance asked again, "Do you have any evidence?" β
"Yes." Wu Guangli suddenly cried out and said, "The village knows about this, otherwise the grass people wouldn't dare to say it...... By the way, Wang Huairen and Zhang Jiuqing, tenants in the same village, can testify......"
After a while, Jin Yiwei stepped forward with more than a dozen tenants of Ma Zhifei's family.
More than a dozen tenants were all alleged, and the content was extremely detailed.
"Woo...... On the first night of the tenant Ma Lao's field, Ma Lao saw the grass people's daughter Peugeot, and came to knock on the door several times a night, and the small fence door was broken......"
"Caomin Tianer, on the day of marrying his wife, Master Ma called a few housekeepers, picked a quilt, held a felt blanket, carried a urinal, he himself followed, and when he arrived at Caomin's house, he didn't say anything else, just said, 'Bring your daughter-in-law to sleep and watch, it's good, it's not good to have two poops', Caomin scolded him, and he made people beat ......"
"Sun Dakun, my father borrowed from Master Ma in order to marry my daughter-in-law. Master Ma said, 'Don't worry, I'll find a way for you.' But you have to allow me one thing, your new daughter-in-law will bring me, and I will go for the first three nights. You don't allow it, I just want to think about your daughter-in-law, can you still not give it to me? My father thought about it, but he couldn't help it, so he agreed, and Master Ma borrowed three stones of wheat for me. As a result, now the grass people owe him six stones of wheat......"
More than a dozen tenants complained, and the scene gradually quieted down.
Some people, such as Qin Xuance, felt indignant and hated to crush Ma Zhifei's head again.
But many more have mixed looks.
Because northern Jiangsu and southern Lunan have been Lu land since ancient times, and have been deeply influenced by Confucianism, the people are often ashamed to talk about these things, and the parties are reluctant to publicize them. However, the landlord has the 'first exercise of power' over the tenant's wife and daughter, which is something that many people know well.
When a tenant marries a wife, he must first let the landlord be trapped, and then he can have sex with him, some people call it 'trying the new', and the tenant is simply unable to resist.
As for some people who wrote poems about this: "The history of the soup capital of Haoyi has been passed down to this day. Shu Ke asked about the remains, and said that he had exercised his rights for the first time. β
At this time, after all the tenants spoke, Wang Xiao said: "According to the "Great Chu Law", 'those who commit crimes are hanged', Ma Zhifei is a repeat offender, I will send someone to kill him, do you have any objections?" β
The gentry were stunned.
- I feel like I haven't heard the words 'Da Chu Lu' for a long time.
Of course, there are objections - what I heard just now is that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, how can it be said to be 'strong'?
But looking at the sword-wielding soldiers around them, the gentry did not speak.
"There are no objections. Then try the next one. Wang Xiao pointed to the next head.
The gentry present listened to the accusations of the tenants, and each of them had different thoughts.
For example, Mao Jiuhua also felt disgusted by this bad habit, but he could only do it not to oppress the tenants, or remind the clansmen when they went too far.
A son-in-law like Zhang Duan looks at this kind of thing from another angle. He also had affairs with the wives and daughters of many tenants, but he was pretentious and thought that he was doing elegant things. It's not as filthy as others do.
Meng Hongyi himself didn't do this, but if there was a child in the clan who made such a fuss, he would desperately cover it up, so as not to ruin the reputation of Yashengfu.
β¦β¦
All in all, everyone knew about this kind of thing, but they didn't expect Wang Xiao to stab it away.
I didn't expect it to look so appalling after the matter was opened.
Originally, when they were hidden there, they looked fine, the squires were gentle, and the tenants were honest and happy.
The tenants, who cowered at first, gradually became emotional. From 'trying the new' to opening the new, the more and more ugly things are picked up, and the expression is gradually gritting teeth.
Even among some tenants who came to make trouble today to defend the Kong family, their emotions began to gradually get out of control.
From the Kong family, to the Guan Gou Hall, to the Tun Guan, the Chief A, and the Little Jia, they have been bullied a lot layer by layer. It's just that I'm gradually numb, and it's no longer strange.
It's like a wound that heals a scar, forgets the pain, or gets used to the pain.
There were still tenants in the Confucian Mansion who were complaining, and someone outside the Confucian Mansion suddenly began to cry.
It was a skinny man, and he was making a lot of noise just now and shouting, "Don't let the government bully the saint's family", and then suddenly remembered that his mother-in-law had also been trapped by the Confucian family's officials before...... The twenty coins he received, as well as the two steamed buns that fell in his stomach in the morning, suddenly became extremely piercing.
"Oh my God! I'm a big fool! Kong Niben, the official of the dog tun, bullied me, and I came to support their family...... I was sold and I gave the money back, I ......"
At this point, he didn't know how to describe himself for a while. I had to grope out a string of copper plates from my arms.
"Twenty cents! Twenty dollars will let me be a grandson turtle and a fool...... Fuck ......."
He had the heart to throw the copper plate in his hand, but after all, he was still reluctant, so he took the money back into his arms, squatted on the ground and cried. Idea: The fastest /l/z/w//o/m on the mobile phone
What he didn't expect was that the officers and soldiers heard his shouting, and someone immediately reported it.
"Confucian Mansion Tunguan Kong Niben ......"
reported all the way to Qin Xuance's ears, Qin Xuance immediately commanded in a low voice: "Go, take everyone down first......
~~
Inside the gate of the Confucian family.
The cold sweat on the foreheads of the squires kept flowing down.
Dozens of heads, one by one, were tried, and one thing after another was revealed. Among them are also their clansmen and relatives.
No one was sure what Wang Xiao would do after interrogating these people, so they couldn't help but be afraid.
At this time, it was already three minutes past the Shen hour, and they had arrived at the hall of the Confucian Mansion since early in the morning, stayed up for four hours, and did not eat at noon. The physical strength has long been exhausted.
Especially Mao Jiuhua, he was hungry and tired, with headaches, dizziness, and weak legs. I hated the king in my heart and laughed to the extreme.
- If I go down any further, I'm afraid that if I can't wait for Wang Xiao to kill, the old man will already die here......
Just as he was about to crumble, he saw a group of officers and soldiers outside the Confucian Mansion pressing a group of people over.
Mao Jiuhua had a bad heart, and he glanced at Meng Hongyi, and each could see the worry in each other's eyes.
The next moment.
Qin Xuance shouted: "The dead are tried, and the living are tried!" Fathers and fellow villagers, take a look at whether these officials bullied you in the past......"
If the tenants were to accuse the Kong family of the officials from the beginning, it would probably have no effect.
But he raided the Sun family first, shocked the squires, and forced them to dare not use any more means. And through the complaint of the dead man just now, the emotions of the tenants were aroused. At this moment, the crowd finally became angry.
"Kong Niben! I want to sue Kong Niben that he occupied the hill of my ancestors and demolished the grave of my father and mother......"
Kong Niben was escorted by officers and soldiers, and when he saw that these people were the first to sue him, he was shocked and frightened, and shouted angrily: "Xue Dacheng, you don't talk nonsense!" I sold the hill! β
"You just gave me two buckets of rice."
"That's good, too!"
"Then let's talk about it, you can not move my father's grave."
"How can there be a reason for your father's and mother's grave to be made on the top of my house...... No, Brother Da Cheng, I'll return the mountain to you, don't sue me......"
However, the next moment, someone stood up and shouted: "I also want to sue Kong Niben, he ruined ...... He killed my daughter......"
With this sentence, the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Somehow, the officers and soldiers who were holding Kong Niben suddenly fell, and with a push of their hands, they pushed Kong Niben directly into the crowd.
"Folks, kill this dog!" I don't know who shouted.
"Shoot him!"
"Tell you to bully me ......"
"Bite him to death! He also sold my daughter, and I wanted to eat his flesh......"
The crowd swarmed.
Immediately after, the screams rang out heartbreakingly.
"Ahh
The shepherd stood behind Wang Xiao, looking at the crowd of people, with some mockery and some pleasure in his eyes.
- After so many years, these people are still like this, honest friends on weekdays. When they are agitated, they can devour their lives alive. Fortunately, this time, the person who was bitten off by them was already chosen......
"Ahh
Kong Xingxie woke up from a coma and was brought to stand at the head of the gentry queue, only to feel devastated when he saw such a scene, and fell to the ground again.
Fu Ticketchu didn't dare to speak anymore. He was not afraid of confronting Wang Xiao and being killed by Wang Xiao, but he was afraid that Wang Xiao would incite the people to beat him to death. It was a great humiliation for him to die like this.
"Ah......h
The screams came to an abrupt end. All the gentry had a tingling scalp.
Zuo Jinglun turned his head, stopped looking at these, sighed and walked towards the lobby again. Ideas Chinese the first issue of the network βγ‘γΟΟΟ s:// ΟΟΟ.sγzΟΟ.cΞΠΌ γΟΟΟ s:// ΠΌ.sγzΟΟ.cΞΠΌγ€
Others are not so good, Wang Xiao didn't give orders, and no one dared to leave.
"Bring Kong Niben up." Wang Xiao commanded.
The officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment, and after a while, two brocade-clothed guards walked out of the crowd holding white cloths.
β¦β¦
Mao Jiuhua closed his eyes and felt darkness.
He couldn't hear anyone talking, only that it was so quiet.
Finally, when he opened his eyes, he looked forward, and saw two white cloths on the ground, on which were placed ...... A few bloody bones.
"Gross!"
"Gross!"
More than one person vomited......
At this moment, these gentry were extremely angry.
Not only do they hate Wang Xiao, they hate these ignorant tenants even more!
"How can you do this?! How could he be easily provoked by Wang Xiao and stand on his side?! I said I was going to support our ......"
"Wang Xiao just gave you twenty yuan and two steamed buns for each of you, and you fools betrayed the master's family? It's all cheap bones......"
~~
"Lai Guogong. Even if these officials are guilty, they should be tried by the imperial court...... Don't let the people be killed! Zeng Wendao said with a pale face, "Otherwise, if the law does not exist, everything will be messed up." β
Zeng Wendao didn't want to speak, but he was afraid that if he didn't stop it, Wang Xiao would have to interrogate others, such as ......
"What Master Zeng said makes sense." Wang smiled.
The hearts of the people became more sorrowful.
- Just by listening to this tone, you can know that he is talking the opposite.
Sure enough, Wang laughed and shouted: "Come on, go to the east room of the Confucian Mansion and bring up the things that are 'often urged by the four roads'!" β
"Yes!"
The so-called "four-way constant urging" refers to the torture room of the Confucian Mansion, which is used to collect rent, arrest people, and detain people. There are some red sticks, flogging, ganguang sticks, oxtail whips, pot flails and other torture tools.
After a while, the officers and soldiers brought up all kinds of torture instruments one by one.
"These tenants, as well as the tunguan Kong Ni who died just now, were originally the citizens of the Confucian Mansion, and the Yansheng Mansion was their 'household'. Come, use the rent-urging torture tools of the Yansheng Mansion to beat, and you don't have to pay for your life if you kill someone. β
"Yes!"
Several officers and soldiers picked up the torture instruments and pretended to knock on the pile of bones.
"Report! Humiliation collected for the Yan Shenggong Mansion, and accidentally beat Kong Niben to death......"
Such a posture fell in Zeng Wenda's eyes, Zeng Wenda was furious, his face turned red, and his horror turned into a roar:
This clearly refers to a deer as a horse! Lai Guogong teased me? Is the world a fool?! β
"Then why do you do this so often?!"
Wang laughed and roared, like thunder falling!
Zeng Wenda was stunned, opened his mouth again, and found that he couldn't make a sound at all in his throat.
β¦β¦
"Then why do you do this so often?!"
The roar echoed.
After a long silence, a tenant outside the Confucian Mansion began to cry.
This tenant received the copper money from Jinyiwei to sue, and his father was beaten to death because he owed the collection.
In this kind of world where he doesn't have to pay for his life even if he is killed, he has never thought about revenge. If it weren't for the twenty dollars, he wouldn't even have the courage to sue......
It wasn't until this moment that his cowardly and numb heart was finally touched.
"Grandpa Guo! What do grass people know...... Guogong is in charge of the grass people! β
With a wail, he kowtowed heavily on the ground......
~~
Qin Xuance's eyes were hot, and he shouted: "What grievances have the fathers and fellow villagers suffered, although they report it, there is a ......."
"Grandpa Guo! Don't judge! β
The first to kneel down was Zhang Duan, and he knelt down in front of Wang Xiao without warning.
"Grandpa Guo! Don't try it again...... If you have something to say...... I...... I ......"
Even he lost his previous composure.
Because he can't speak in public.
"Let's go back to the lobby and talk privately, if you want to divide the field, you can also discuss, don't do this. If we continue to be tried, we will be tried. - Such words still cannot be said.
Zhang Duan didn't want to speak for the Kong family's bullshit officials, he understood that if he didn't come forward to stop it, things would develop out of control.
The hand that Wang Xiao is using now is even more difficult to deal with than the trick of 'the Sun family who directly sent someone to kill'.
He can kill the Sun family, but he can't kill all the gentry directly. Both sides are well aware that these gentry are well-educated talents, and they cannot govern the country without these people. Wang Xiao could not have expected an illiterate tenant to rule the country. Not to mention anything else, without the squire, the townships would be in chaos directly......
Today, the two sides are still competing 'who can bear it better'.
Now, Wang Xiao's practice of holding public opinion hostage has won.
The people were killed by tenants, and there was no place to reason. More importantly, this kind of thing must be eliminated immediately. Otherwise, as soon as this case is opened, Wang Xiao will hijack the people and beat people to death if he wants to kill whoever he wants, then the law really does not exist!
This is a major matter related to the survival of the family, and it is more important than the field.
I came to Qufu by myself, and I have done my best to support it so far, and I have also explained to the clan. After I went back, I told the matter, and I believe that the people of the clan can understand it......
Zhang Duan wanted to understand this truth, and knelt down directly.
"Grandpa Guo, God has the virtue of a good life...... No, the lower official said that it was getting late, let alone this...... If the people are impulsive......"
Wang Xiao interrupted him and said lightly, "What does Zhang Hanlin want to say?" β
Zhang Duan was stunned for a moment when he heard this cold tone, and said in his heart: "Xia Guan suddenly remembered, before Xia Guan came, the sect chief had said...... I'll do it for him...... That one...... There is no need to give the Ming Sect Patriarch any more, the lower officials can directly be the masters, and the Zhang family's fields are willing to be returned to the imperial court for distribution. β
"Good." Wang Xiao's voice was very calm, and he lowered it a little, and said, "Your people will be grateful to you." β
This sentence reached the ears of the other gentry, who felt different things, and each was silent.
- The dog thief is talking again.
The next moment, Wang smiled: "Boss Mao is the patriarch of the Four Dynasties, it is rare for the elder to be here today, so let's continue to judge......
Mao Jiuhua's legs were weak, and he sat down, but fortunately he was supported by his relatives.
Dog thief! It's too much to continue the trial, and it is also pointed out that the surname is the old man's name, you fucking thing!
"Guogong...... The old man is tired, stand ...... I can't stand still......"
Meng Hongyi said, glanced at Mao Jiuhua quickly, and said, "By the way, Guogong, Xiaguan also has a few acres of thin fields in Zoucheng...... Willing to return to the imperial court for distribution. β
"Good." Wang Xiao said approvingly: "Mencius said, the ploughman is busy, there is no overnight food, three meals a day, and he should think about the suffering of the farmer." Master Meng is worthy of being the queen of Yasheng. β
"Yes, yes...... Guogong praised ...... falsely, "Meng Hongyi saluted again and again.
- Dog thief! This was said by Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, not by Mencius.
Mao Jiuhua sighed dejectedly, knowing that he didn't have the need to hold on......
The next thing is also very simple.
The gentry who came today expressed their support for the division of the land, and also expressed the hope that Wang Xiao would not let the tenants mess with it again, lest the situation become too big or kill innocent people by mistake.
Wang Xiao didn't talk to them much, but talked about the rest of the communication to Wang Zhen.
The gentry experienced the ferocious and ruthless Wang Xiao, the yin and yang weird Wang Zhu on this day, and saw the gentle and elegant Wang Zhen again, they felt relieved and not very relieved......
