Wang Lin is dead!

He even died a little unexplained, and was hit in the back of the head by a flying brick, and the person fell directly to the ground, and then he screamed for his life.

Resist food, that will kill people.

In this regard, the people of Jiangnan, who are accustomed to resisting grain, have long known how to deal with it, and even before the government can investigate it, an old man over 70 years old went to the government to surrender, saying that he threw the bricks and stones.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, for such an elderly man, unless he is guilty of treason, all other crimes can be redeemed, that is, he can atone for his sins with money.

In other words, it was even the people who killed the officials by mistake during the grain resistance. As long as a few elderly people are pushed to take the blame, they can pay to exonerate the crime. In this regard, the gentry and people in Jiangnan have long been accustomed to it, and even the instigated gentry have prepared a hundred taels of silver to atone for their sins-according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, and those who are guilty of minor crimes will be ransomed by 8,000 yuan. It's only a few dozen taels when folded into silver! As for the rest of the silver, it was for the master.

Lo and behold, this is the price of food resistance. When the cost of breaking the law is too small, the so-called law becomes an ornament.

Jiangning County has several layers of people inside and out.

A master in his forties stood in the hall of the county government and handed over the petition:

"County Zun, although Duke Xu Fei caused the death of the yamen officials, but Duke Xu is over seventy years old, and according to the law, he can atone for his sins in money, please allow Duke Xu to atone for his sins with silver!"

The magistrate sitting in the lobby said with a smile:

"Xu Gongfeishi kills people, and he should be beheaded according to the law, but he is old and is a first-time offender......"

Just when the magistrate was about to allow him to atone for his crimes, he saw someone hurriedly break into the county office, and it was Chen Qi, an official of the general's mansion, who asked the magistrate to stop the trial of the case as soon as he entered the yamen, and the general would try the case in person.

As soon as he heard that the general had personally tried the matter, the master asked:

"Dare to ask General Pingyu, but a local pro-people official?"

Chen Qi smiled:

"It's not."

The master asked again:

"Since he is not a pro-people official, how can he try this case?"

Chen Qi smiled:

"After investigation, it was found that the name of the Xu family was a civilian household, but it was actually a fugitive military household, and this case should be tried by the Ministry of War according to the law, and the general has asked the Ministry of War to discuss the case."

When he heard this, he shouted to the people watching from the outside of the yamen:

"How can this be reasonable, the Xu family is really a private household, and the general will defile it as a fugitive military household at will, isn't he afraid of the public discussion of the world, and he is not afraid of the turbulent discussion of things? How can I bear it! ”

When Zhu Guoqiang and his entourage arrived at the Yamen, there were about 1,000 people outside the Yamen, most of them were peasants from Xujiatun, carrying sticks and hoes to block there, and even some domestic slaves of the officers of the guard station were also inciting trouble.

Zhu Guoqiang rode over and said sharply:

"General Ben ordered to clear the military field and recover the ownerless military field, what do you have to do? You first gathered a crowd to make an uproar, beat up the officials, and now you gather all the people to do things, do I really dare not kill people? Whoever is in the lead, stand up! ”

"The general was surprised by this, I was waiting there to gather a crowd to make trouble, but I just watched the government try the case, thinking that the world was fair!"

A young man who looked like a student stood out in the crowd, and he was seen to speak solemnly.

"In the name of clearing the military field, the general oppresses the good, isn't he afraid of causing criticism in the world?"

"Lean forward and speak!"

Zhu Guoqiang said in a deep voice.

The man came to his horse:

"Why don't you dare? Even if you are a general, you have to talk about the king......"

Before he could finish speaking, with the sound of the long knife coming out of its sheath, a white light flashed, and the long knife had been re-sheathed.

The severed head flew up, and the column of blood splattered, and the scholar had already fallen under the horse.

Zhu Guoqiang said coldly.

"Who else wants to talk to General Ben about the king's law?"

"Murder!"

At this time, the people in front of the yamen reacted, screaming in horror and fleeing. Only a few Xu family members and masters were still standing there trembling.

"Tell me by whom!"

Riding on the horse, Zhu Guoqiang stared at them and asked coldly.

"No, no one instructed ......"

"Kill!"

The moment the words fell, the guards rushed forward and cut down the man with a knife, and the corpse was separated, and the front of the yamen was full of blood.

"Whom?"

"Villains don't ......"

"Kill!"

……

After hacking several people to death one after another, the others were all dumbfounded, and the master immediately cried and said.

"Back to the general's words, the small one is the money of the Li family, and the Li family will give the money to let the small one fight for Uncle Xu, and the other small ones really don't know......"

"The Li family?"

Zhu Guoqiang sneered.

"What a Li family, hum, the Li family instigated the people's uprising, ill-intentioned, conspired against the law, and deserved to be punished for their crimes, Wang Yulin, you led a hundred guards, and killed all the men of the Li family in the past, and the female dependents were not military prostitutes!"

As soon as his words fell, the people around him just gasped, and the Li family was over! Not only are there no men left, but even women have to be used as military prostitutes!

What's more, he didn't go through the government trial at all, so he directly used a knife to kill people.

Is there such a truth in the world?

No!

But you can use strong words!

This general is really ruthless!

And Jiang Ningzhixian, who had been standing outside the yamen, was even more nervous.

"Great, great general, what, why is it so ......"

"Why? Humph......"

Staring at this Jiangning magistrate, Zhu Guoqiang snorted coldly.

"If not, how can the law be corrected."

"General, I have my own laws, and the murderer is really a ......"

"He is instructed by others, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is not a living crime, and the whole village of Xujiazhuang, regardless of men, women, and children, will flow to Hekou City!"

After saying this, Zhu Guoqiang said coldly.

"Now the order is issued to the local government offices, but anyone who resists Qingtian and beats the officials, regardless of men, women and children, will raid their homes and flow to the estuary city!"

"General, you, aren't you afraid of stirring up a popular uprising?"

"The civil uprising has risen, how can it be provoked, in troubled times, we should use heavy codes, and the law will not be popular? Bullshit! From today on, the law of my Ming Dynasty is "the law must be responsible for the public", such as today's chaos, the rogue everywhere, the people are not stopped, should no longer be in the usual law, my Ming world, is destroyed in the hands of mediocre officials like you! ”

Zhu Guoqiang looked at Jiangning Zhixian who was sweating profusely on his forehead.

"As an official of the imperial court, how did you do your errand? Knowing that the people gathered to make trouble was instructed by others, instead of investigating, they let them atone for their sins with silver, and only wanted to calm down the incident, your evil is better than Li Peikun! ”

Originally, he was still "speaking out for the people", and the magistrate of Jiangning County hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed:

"General, the subordinate is wronged!"

Zhu Guoqiang scolded angrily:

"Wronged! You are wronged, I am not a foolish official like you who is here and muddy, and it will be more than this tomorrow. Could it be that Wang Lin is not wronged? Come on, drag all the dogs down, put them in the station cage, and stand for five days! ”

There were two guards here who were five big and three thick like catching chickens, dragging down the crying Jiangning Zhixian.
