Section 494 He Biandan
Judging from the fact that Cao Dashuai accurately pointed out that Chen Shiai was in the same party, the so-called statement that "I happened to hear someone suing me when I was passing by" is not valid.
It was an unquestionable, premeditated operation.
As for the link in which the Chen family leaked the news, this cannot be verified. Maybe it's the county government, maybe it's its own people who are eager to be demolished, no one can say.
Of course, none of this matters.
What really needs to be paid attention to is not the life or death of these talents, but the meaning behind the cross-cutting of the public.
Prior to this, the land acquisition and construction work of the Special Administrative Region began at the same time as Cao Dashuai led his troops to the north. This creates a problem: both sides are a little constrained.
Crossing the crowd, because Cao Dashuai has not yet achieved military exploits in the north and has become the emperor's golden thigh, he does not dare to throw off his arms and do it, so he can only take one step at a time. In this process, the local government yamen basically received complaints from the Ming landlords and gentry opposing the demolition, among which the two counties of Panyu and Nanhai and the Yamen of the judicial department were the majority.
Guangdong officialdom is under pressure, and it is natural that there will be dissatisfaction. Fortunately, General Cao had just exterminated a large number of pirates at that time, and Yu Wei was still there, plus there were a group of collaborators and allies, so this situation has been deadlocked, and the government can only fight with the mud, and the demolition work has been encountering resistance.
There is another reason for this: when local officials sent a message to the capital, trying to use the court to restrain Cao Daworm, they were told that the capital was surrounded by Tartars, and the periphery was a mess, and no one would care about these bullshit things.
Just like the judgment of the Chen family's Jinshi master, in this situation, the gentry and their spokesmen could only wait patiently for the situation to become clear.
However, the traversal thinks so, too.
Then this scene came to the finale: not long ago, Cao won a great victory in the north and became the emperor's most important national tribute.
By this time, the high-level people in the Guangdong officialdom who were sensitive, had actually given up paying attention to the land requisition incident - since they couldn't bring down that person anyway, why bother with this egg? Let him be.
Therefore, today's incident of General Cao Bing's invasion of the government is actually a positive answer to all the previous questions: Lao Tzu is now wearing sparks and lightning, stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, and he must find a few chickens to kill and solve the problem of demolition and land acquisition at one time.
Chen Shiai and his gang accidentally ran into the muzzle of the gun.
Whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, the unlucky ghost who hits the muzzle of the gun usually does not end well. Crack down, rub it and get hurt, and if you knock it, you die.
So Chen Xiucai must die this time, along with those few broken boot parties.
..........................
The standing cage, also known as the flail, is a fighter among the eunuchs, invented by Liu Jin, a thousand years old in the Wuzong Dynasty.
As the name suggests, the standing cage is a thin and tall wooden cage, trapezoidal, with a wide bottom and a narrow head, and there is just one person standing inside. After the prisoner was imprisoned, he was imprisoned in a cage with a flail on his head, his body suspended in the air or on a small stool, and his whole body was curled up and unable to bend and stretch, and he was in agony.
Some upgraded cages also have iron spikes inserted inside, usually within three days of a person standing dead inside. There are also those who can't bear the torture and take the initiative to kick away the small stool and hang themselves.
Cages are often used to interrogate confessions or to detain felons. Since its invention, this thing has been used as a regular torture tool by the government of successive dynasties, and it was still widely used until the Guodang period, and was finally abolished after liberation.
Magistrates usually don't have much psychological burden when they use the station. For example, in the late Qing Dynasty's "Travels of the Old Disabled", it was mentioned that in order to fight for the title of "capable member", in less than a year, more than 2,000 people died in 12 station cages in front of the yamen, of which nine and a half were good citizens.
There is a wonderful thing in this: in normal times, if the magistrate formally convicts a prisoner of capital crime, the file must be reviewed by the higher yamen, and finally colluded with the emperor before he can be beheaded.
Not only was the exchange of documents cumbersome and inefficient, but the imperial court was reluctant to see "an increase in the number of condemned prisoners compared to the same period last year."
That's where the standing cage comes in handy - the people who "stand" and die inside are not counted in the number of condemned prisoners. This number is mixed with a series of "normal deaths" such as death from illness, death from illness, death from choking, and death from hide and seek.
Another point that makes the cage different from other torture instruments is that in addition to torture, this object also has the flavor of public "public display" in it. In the Middle Ages, this method can only be said to have played a certain role in educating the people and preventing crime.
Of course, this so-called education of the people depends on who does it. Like this time, Cao Dashuai flailed people, that is, to educate leeks not to resist being nail households, and to honestly welcome the demolition.
As a result, the anti-demolition Xiucai gang, which had a total of six people, was dragged out of the crowd by a wolf-like and tall soldier like a wolf and a tiger after Cao Dashuai gave the order, and then pressed down and stripped off the big turban and green shirt that symbolized the reader.
After that, these people were choked by the necks of the military men, carried their belts, and stuffed into the row of standing cages under the outer wall of the county yamen like chickens - a group of boot-breaking parties that were later promoted by the inferior gentry as the "Six Gentlemen of Panyu" embarked on the countdown to life.
"Hahaha." Cao Qingtian, who had finished judging a case impartially, stood up from behind the case, first stretched his waist, and then said to Sun County Order with a long laugh: "Xiaoxiao has been removed, so, it's bothering." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare."
At this point, if you can't see that the person surnamed Cao is prepared, then the grandparents are really fools. So he could only laugh awkwardly...... A seven-grade sesame official, and he doesn't know Liang Jingru, how can he have so much courage to play tricks in front of the murderous Earl Cao?
Subsequently, Cao Dashuai swaggered out of the county office, and under the watchful eyes of many melon-eating people, he got into a bulletproof carriage parked in the middle of the street.
When it was over, Cao Dashuai pushed open the window again and confessed: "Yan Tiexia, you will take people to stay here for the past two days until these stations die." If you come to catch people, you will report my name, and if it doesn't work, you will go to Huangpu to transfer troops, I want to see who is so blind! ”
With a face like the bottom of a pot, Yan Tiexia, a pro-soldier junior colonel with a meaty face, immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted his order.
The next moment, Cao Dashuai, who had finished loading, closed the window of the car, and the convoy drove out of the city at a uniform speed under the arch of the cavalry.
These shows are the ones who have to die.
Previously, after the return of the Qinwang team that went to the north, the cabinet held an enlarged meeting, and it has clearly pointed out the focus of the next stage of work: successively invest resources to Guangdong, intensively cultivate, and slowly corrode the local official, military, gentry, and clan rights while building, so as to prepare for the future transfer of troops through the large army.
Today's release is one of the actions to implement the spirit of the meeting: these Xiucai were forcibly convicted by Cao Zongbing and put in a station cage without any trial and without being cut off by Xuezheng.
The hidden taste of this move is very vicious: it replaces the authority of the regular county government of the Ming Dynasty and the Guangzhou Xuezheng Yamen with fists, and it is a low-intensity conflict, after all, it is just a few talents to break the sky, which is in line with the spirit of the meeting.
And this scene that happened in front of the county yamen today, accompanied by six Xiucai who died slowly, and the series of stories will soon spread among the Ming people. The word imperceptibly is said to be the case - the Ming people will gradually understand in the days to come, who has the final say in today's Guangdong.
That's why these six showmen must die.
No matter whether anyone comes forward to fish for people this time, no matter how high the official position of the person who comes forward, even if the officials of the whole Guangdong are united, the crossing crowd must stand up to death these six people: this is the reverse of the golden city bones, since the sign is erected, it must not fall.
In this regard, several people currently in Guangdong have the authority to ensure that things go smoothly even if they enter the city in the most extreme cases.
So today's out, Cao Zongbing seems to be light from beginning to end, but in fact, the crossing is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the troops outside the city have already received orders to improve combat readiness.
...... Today, the traversal is no longer the situation when he held a gun and fought with the red hair in person. After three years of hard work, the traversal already has a core industry, loyal minions, and hard-working lords.
In a word, even if you pull the flag and rebel today, it is not false to cross the crowd.
As the convoy gradually moved away, there were more onlookers at the gate of the county government: six Xiucai masters who were put in the station cage were usually not seen in this meeting.
As for a few talents, no one dares to let them out at the moment - on the second floor of the restaurant across the street, Yan Tiexia is sitting solemnly, who dares to make a mistake? Not afraid of being caged too?
The help brought by a few showmen has already dispersed to inform the master's family.
A large number of melon-eating personnel who rushed to hear the news surrounded the entrance of the county government, and people showed smiles on their faces, while enjoying the hoarse shouts of the talents, they told the latecomers about the script that had just happened, and when it came to the subtleties, they couldn't help but dance.
.....................
He Bian relied on his height and horse, and at this moment he was also crowded in the crowd to watch the excitement and listen to the story. As he listened, he grinned. During this period, he also followed the direction of his finger and saw those broad soldiers who were eating roast chicken on the second floor of the wine shop.
After shaking his head and snorting a few times, He Biantan secretly swallowed his saliva, touched his empty belly, and then looked up at the sky that was almost noon, and then he squeezed out of the crowd.
After running to the teahouse on the street and throwing out a copper coin, and pouring a bowl of inferior tea with floating tea stalks, He Biantan said hello to his buddy, bent down to pick up the picks stored in the teahouse before, and walked along the street.
He Biandan is a native of Xicheng, in his early twenties this year, and his profession is to carry the burden and deliver goods to people.
He Biantan is talented, not only has a wide skeleton, but also has a height of 1.78 meters, which is rare in Nancheng. However, Gao Guigao is about because he can't eat enough all year round, and he always looks like he has an empty figure, a tattered shirt on his body, and he is swaying at any time.
