Chapter 140: Hidden Dangers Caused by Arrests
From Shayuan Town to Zhangjia Village, Zijian plans to build a cement road to facilitate the transportation of iron, Zijian wants a huge amount of iron, if this kind of dirt road is used for transportation, the devil knows how efficient it is, and it is also a good thing to build a road.
At present, Zijian controls three places, Zhangjia Village, Liu Town, and now Shayuan Town, and connects these three places with cement roads, which requires a lot of cement, but after the road is repaired, it will be beneficial to the rule of the volunteers.
It seems that after going back, it is necessary to increase the manpower of cement firing, before 500 people are still less, 1,000 people, Zijian is very casual to increase the manpower, as for the difficulty, just one word, money, there is money and any difficulty will be completed, to believe in the charm of silver.
Taking down the Chen family so easily, Zi Jian was speechless, this has no effect on military training! His training plan is considered a failure, but he can continue to increase the number of volunteers, and at present, the number of all volunteers combined, has not exceeded 1,000, so this time it will be more than 1,500 people.
Zijian: "Li Qiang, you are responsible for the recruitment this time, and the number of people is set at about 500 people first, well, it's okay if the number is more." ”
Li Qiang: "Yes, chief, I promise to complete the task." ”
Li Qiang shouted in his heart, the chief finally remembered himself, among several cronies, he had the weakest sense of existence, and even Zhang Lin might surpass him, and he finally had a chance to perform.
Li Qiang asked people to publicize the recruitment of volunteers in Shayuan Town, and publicize the benefits of being a volunteer army, originally thought that many people came to sign up, but who knew that after waiting for almost half an hour, no one came.
Li Qiang was depressed, the chief finally gave him a task, but there was no way to complete it, isn't this fatal!
After waiting for a while, there were still no people coming, so Li Qiang had to find someone to ask what the situation was.
"Captain, I asked, Chen Yuanwai's reputation in Shayuan Town is okay, and the chief killed Chen Yuanwai's family, so the people have a lot of resistance to our volunteers." Li Si quickly reported to Li Qiang what he had heard.
Li Qiang has no choice, he can't come to the door to arrest people, this trouble makes the chief think of a way.
Zijian touched his chin, he didn't recruit anyone unexpectedly, according to the news he heard, Chen Yuanwai can get along with the people, Chen Yuanwai usually does a little good thing, paves the road, gives porridge to the poor people or something, has some reputation in Shayuan Town, Zijian killed the great good people in the eyes of the people, although the people dare not go against the volunteers, but the volunteers recruit people, then no one goes, this is non-violence and non-cooperation.
Zijian smiled contemptuously, those people really deceived Chen Yuanwai's appearance, not to mention anything else, what if Chen Yuanwai owns more land, the land annexation has made the nearby people work for Chen Yuanwai, Chen Yuanwai is just taking out a little profit to buy people's hearts, and so many people regard him as a savior.
Zijian snorted coldly, since those people are not interested, then let them continue to live this kind of poor life, and if they don't cooperate with the volunteers, they won't be given any benefits in the future.
Zijian: "Then don't care about the people, Li Qiang, you go and arrest all the scholars in Shayuan Town for me, just say that they are suspected of murder, and they will be arrested and tried in Zhangjia Village." ”
Li Qiang was about to go out to do something, but Zijian stopped him, "Well, you go to the door and ask first, see if they are willing to help us do things, if they are willing to help us do things, give five taels of silver a month, if they don't cooperate, what do you know!" ”
Zijian does things, salutes first and then soldiers. If they cooperate, everyone will be happy, if they don't cooperate, just like the last time in Liu Town, directly arrest people, catch Zhangjia Village, give them a bowl of gruel a day to hang their lives, starve them for a month, and let them do anything when the time comes, and they will not obediently obey their orders.
Li Qiang retired and left with an unhappy mood, what the chief asked him to do, he couldn't complete it, didn't he leave an impression in the chief's heart that he was inadequate, this is all to blame on those people, hum, don't give him a chance in the future, otherwise, he will definitely let the people of Shayuan Town taste his methods.
Li Qiang took twenty volunteers, with gifts, ten taels of silver, and two hundred catties of food, and sent them to a scholar.
I saw that this scholar threw out the gifts that Li Qiang had sent in one by one, and a piece of silver fell on Li Qiang's feet, as if laughing at him.
"Take your things, I can't stand your things."
The person in front of him is a showman, Li Qiang didn't expect the other party to be so presumptuous, Lao Tzu kindly gave you a gift, even if you don't accept it, you don't have to throw Lao Tzu's face like this, since you don't have a face, then don't blame Lao Tzu for not giving you face.
Or the chief has the foresight to know the stinky problems of these readers, anyway, the chief said that the other party does not cooperate, then it depends on whose ability is greater.
Li Qiang shouted, "Arrest him for me." ”
The scholar was not afraid of Li Qiang, but said with a righteous attitude, "Presumptuous, you are in broad daylight, and under the bright future, you dare to arrest people indiscriminately." ”
In the face of the volunteers, the scholar dared to reprimand the other party so boldly, in fact, it was used to it by the whole society, and everything was inferior, but the high reading showed how high the status of the scholar was in the eyes of ordinary people, even the county officials would give the scholar face.
Scholars have always looked down on those who are soldiers, and they have tried every means to suppress them.
Xiucai is quoting scriptures and scolding the volunteers, regardless of whether Li Qiang can understand them or not.
Li Qiang slowly and sinisterly smiled at Xiucai, watching how long he performed, this scholar was too irritable, if there was no order from the chief, Li Qiang would have wanted to cut this guy with a knife, don't think that the scholar is very remarkable, and it is not the first time that the volunteers have killed someone.
Xiucai scolded happily, but seeing Li Qiang's sinister smile, it didn't feel right.
Li Qiang: "You are involved in the murder case of collusion with Chen Yuanwai, come back with us!" ”
Xiucai scolded, "Fart, you Qiu Ba, dare to wronged someone indiscriminately, believe it or not, let the county magistrate punish you for your crimes." ”
Li Qiang was too lazy to listen to the other party's nonsense, if he gave the other party time, he could still say a lot of nonsense, the volunteers didn't have time to argue with the other party, so he stepped forward and slapped Xiucai in the mouth, Xiucai didn't expect this Qiu Ba to dare to hit him, and he fell to the ground in a hurry.
Xiucai couldn't explain when he met the soldiers, and when the volunteers didn't want to be reasonable, his mouth was a big deal, and Xiucai covered his face, unbelievable.
Li Qiang "took him back and interrogated him about the killing." ”
There were other people around, seeing the volunteers arresting people, they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and they glared angrily at the volunteers to take people away, but no one stepped forward to stop them, stepped forward to stop them? The other party was holding a spear, the cowardly character of the people, and no one came forward, so they could only watch Xiucai cry and be taken away.
After the scene of Xiucai, Li Qiang knew that the scholar was "powerful", in order not to embarrass himself, which family had a scholar, he went directly to the door and thought that the other party was suspected of murder and wanted to take him away for investigation, as for when to release the person, it depends on the results of the investigation.
But in this way, it undoubtedly offended the people of the entire Shayuan Town, and soon, the people of Shayuan Town became dissatisfied with the volunteers.
After the volunteers came here, they killed people directly, and arrested all the scholars, if one or two scholars were suspected of murder, but it was impossible for all readers to be like this, the volunteers were clearly difficult, in order to defend Shayuan Town, the volunteers were driven out, and under the leadership of the famous villagers in Shayuan Town, a conflict between the volunteers and the people quietly unfolded.
Zijian didn't know what he had done when he came, which made the people angry, and he watched everywhere in the Chen Mansion, this carved beam and painted building was much better than Zhang Caitong's landlord's house.
Li Qiang came over, "Chief, I have arrested all the readers." ”
Then he told Zijian about the first Xiucai he encountered.
Zijian smiled, disapproving, scholars are like this, if they don't teach them a lesson, they really think they are invincible in the world! Well, the mouth cannon is invincible in the world.
Zijian: "Good job, these people. ”
Li Qiang was relieved, but fortunately, the chief didn't blame him for not being able to do things.
There are a lot of maids in Chen's house, how to deal with them, take them back to Li Zhu'er as a textile worker.
