Yan Zhixian was frightened by the startled voice, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill, and he involuntarily fell to the ground, trembling and trembling. It was clear that he wanted to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

Zhang Kewang sat on the top, looked east and west, and felt that everything was fresh. At this time, the four words "Execution", "Law", "Strict" and "Ming" were written on the official case aroused his interest, and he saw that the color of the head sign was different in each holder. Zhang Kewang stretched out his hand and walked back and forth above the four sticks for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what these colors were exquisite, so he pointed to the official closest to him: "You, come here." ”

The official didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully cated in front of Zhang Kewang.

"Tell me, what do these colors mean? Well, I have a great reward, sir. Zhang Kewang leaned forward and asked with a grin.

"Back to the master, the green-headed sticks in this 'holding' cylinder are catchers, which are used to catch people. The white-headed lots, black-headed lots, and red-headed lotteries are all torture lots, and they are used for criminal purposes. The white-headed sign has one board per sign, the black-headed sign has five boards per sign, and the red-headed sign has ten boards per sign. The official cautiously said as he gestured with his hand.

Zhang Kewang was very satisfied after hearing this, he motioned for the official to retreat, and then grabbed all the red-headed signs in the "Ming" word holder, sprinkled them under the hall, and shouted: "Come on, peel off the dog skin for this dog official, and beat a hundred kills!" ”

The officials were called and drunk by the county magistrate on weekdays, and they were already dissatisfied, and at this moment they wanted to please Zhang Kewang, how could they be merciful? When Yan Zhixian's official uniform was lifted up, Bai Huahua's ass was exposed, and he was beaten hard by pressing it on the ground and raising a stick.

Each of these sticks used up twelve points of strength, and when it went down, it was a piece of flesh and blood, and Yan Zhixian's ass was beaten to pieces in an instant. At first, he would cry and cry for his mother's ghost, but after a few sticks, there was only a faint moan.

This hundred-killing power stick has just been fought for less than thirty, and Yan Zhixian has tilted his head and stopped moving. One of the officials bent down, poked his nose, and then got up to report: "Master, this dog officer has lost his breath." ”

"What? He's dead? It's too unbeatable! Zhang Kewang stretched out his waist unsatisfied, "That's it!" Before my father arrived, I had to catch up on my sleep. Second brother, I'll leave the rest to you. After speaking, Zhang Kewang got up and bypassed the screen and entered the back office.

After Zhang Kewang left, Dingguo instructed the officials to carry Yan Zhixian's body down the hall and go to find a place outside the city to bury it. Then he personally led people to the prison and released more than 200 prisoners who were in prison. Among these people, those who were willing to join the rebel army were given clothes and weapons, and those who did not want to join the rebel army were given travel expenses and returned home on their own.

An hour later, Zhang Xianzhong arrived in Chao County. He did not stay in the city for long, but waved his army and continued to set off, along the south bank of Chaohu Lake, all the way to the direction of the Lujiang River.

Hearing that the rogue was coming, the gentry in Lujiang City were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and wanted to go to the yamen to find the magistrate to discuss the strategy of resisting the enemy, but they just arrived at the yamen and found that the magistrate had already run away, and there was still half a figure in the yamen.

In order to keep their belongings, the gentry gathered in the yamen lobby to meet and discuss. After discussing and discussing, it was finally decided to scrape together a batch of gold, silver and jewelry, send someone to Zhang Xianzhong, and beg the righteous army to raise his noble hand.

The two carts of jewelry were quickly transported to Zhang Xianzhong's army, and after looking at the list of treasures, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but scold his mother secretly: "Good guy, you want to send me Lao Zhang with this little thing, do you really call me Lao Zhang a flower?" Zhang Xianzhong was about to attack when he was about to have an attack when he suddenly rolled his eyes and thought about it.

I saw Zhang Xianzhong put the list into his arms casually, put on a smiling face and said to the messenger: "I have accepted these things with a smile, and you go back and tell the princes, since I have taken your things, I will naturally promise a thousand gold, and I will not beat your Lujiang." ”

The messenger thanked him for his kindness, and immediately returned to the city to report the news.

When the envoy returned to the city in the middle of the night, the gentry waited in the hall of the yamen for a whole day, and finally when they arrived, they gathered around and began to ask questions.

The envoy then reported the situation of meeting Zhang Xianzhong to everyone, and by the way, he showed off his merits. The gentry were overjoyed, and immediately rewarded the messenger, and then they dispersed, and went home and slept in peace.

Who would have thought that just after the ugly time, a noisy sound of horses' hooves suddenly resounded over Lujiang City, and the city was instantly full of fire. Some people even exclaimed: "The thieves have entered the city!" ”

This voice blew up the entire Lujiang City, and for a while the sound of crying and chaotic footsteps were intertwined. As long as it was a rich family, the rebels broke in, and all the men, women, and children were slaughtered, and then all the valuable items in the house were transported out and moved to the county government compound to be registered.

Soon, the county government compound was filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, which were as high as a hill.
