Chapter 187: Bloody and Tearful Past
Fifty years ago, the county guard of Huainan City at that time was surnamed He, not only managed Huainan City, but also managed another small city, Surabaya, which was on the edge of Huashen Lake, although the city was small, but the population was quite large, and there were as many as 70,000 or 80,000 people.
This year, even heavy rain, the water level of the Huai River continued to rise, and people were panicked for a while, for fear that the Huai River would break and affect themselves, Huainan City was thick with high walls, and the residents were somewhat at ease, but Surabaya City was small, and close to Huashen Lake, and the people in the city were very afraid.
He Junshou was also afraid, he was afraid that this "people's grievance" would be passed on to the "top", because one of his political enemies had just been promoted recently, just one level higher than him, and had been waiting for the opportunity to clean him up.
He invited a great immortal who is said to have known 500 years before and 500 years after knowing 500 years from other places, and asked the great immortal to pinch his fingers with great fanfare, and calculated that although the rain is heavy this time, it will not endanger the city, let alone the people, in order to strengthen the hearts of the people, this great immortal also brought a group of fishermen into the lake to fish in the rain, in order to prove that the destiny is like this, there will be no danger.
However, a few days later, at midnight, the ground suddenly trembled, followed by a loud sound of the sky collapsing and the earth cracking, the entire Surabaya City instantly sank to the bottom of the lake, the earth roared, the wind and clouds changed color, and a large piece of land surged in the middle of the originally very huge Huashen Lake, dividing the Huashen Lake into two, and the place where the Surabaya City was located was divided into another small lake, not far from the Huashen Lake, this small lake is Jiaogang Lake.
The residents of Surabaya and the residents of Huainan have many relatives to be connected, Surabaya suddenly suffered this catastrophe, Huainan can not be surprised, have gone to He County to guard for help, but people are easy to get excited, everyone is noisy, the crowd is angry, for a time the scene is very chaotic, He County Shou saw that the situation was not right, and did not dare to come forward to appease the people, just sent people to the garrison stationed in the city at that time for help, the commander of the garrison was He County Shou's brother-in-law, heard the brother-in-law of the brother-in-law for help, rushed to send hundreds of soldiers, indiscriminate killing, The people came to ask for help, but they were slaughtered by their own soldiers, and for a time the blood flowed like a river, and the survivors had to flee desperately.
He Junshou and his brother-in-law closed the city gate, did not do anything, and slaughtered in the city until dawn, and then wrote an official report to declare that there were evil bandits who rebelled, and he dealt with it decisively, suppressed the evil bandits, and firmly stated that if anyone spreads rumors indiscriminately to incite public opinion, they will be killed.
Since then, the residents of Huainan can only hold their tongues, but they no longer have any good feelings towards the officials and the official army.
In this catastrophe, the great immortal was also buried at the bottom of the lake, but the group of fishermen brought by the great immortal survived, they settled in Huashen Lake, and made a living by fishing, but Huashen Lake and Jiaogang Lake were different from before at this time, and the bones of countless people were drowned under the lake, and it was really disrespectful to fish on the heads of the dead, so there were many conflicts between the surrounding people and these fishermen.
It's just that He Junshou openly protects these fishermen, and some of the surviving disciples of the great immortal are also rampant in the city, He Junshou has been a county guard in Huainan for 20 years, and the power of these fishermen is enough to sit big, and when He Junshou goes to work, the fishermen have become the native residents of this place, and they can only survive by fishing, but the surrounding people hate them, and the other is the maintenance of the residence of their dead relatives, and resolutely refuse to let the fishermen fish in Huashen and Jiaogang Lake, and the matter is in the end. There are a group of people into the island in the middle of the lake to become lake bandits, these lake bandits specialize in killing fishermen who dare to fish on the bones of their relatives, and the fishermen in order to survive, also formed gangs to fight against the lake bandits, these years, the government has encircled and suppressed several times, the lake bandits have descended and risen again, and they have never been cleared up.
In recent years, they have taken advantage of the Jin army's attack and the lack of people to govern Huashen Lake, and pulled up a group of people to become lake bandits, one is that there is no government to encircle and suppress, the second is that these seven people have high martial arts and morality, and the third is that the surrounding people and fishermen have been in conflict for a long time, this time the lake bandits actually had the upper hand---- until Wei Qing arrived.
Kill He Yu is finished.
There was silence all around.
Wei Qing then understood why their name was "He Yu", he thought it was a homonym for "River Fishing", but now he understood that it was not the river, but He, who killed He County Guard and fishermen.
However, this matter is really not clear who is right and who is wrong, if it is really discussed in detail, He Junshou can be killed, but the fishermen are innocent, they don't want to come here, it is He Junshou who moved them here, in order to make a living and fish on the lake This is a natural thing, but the residents of Huainan can't bear to sit back and watch their relatives and bones being disturbed, and it is understandable, so tangled and complicated things, it is really difficult to deal with.
Wei Qing pondered for a long time and sighed: "This matter is really difficult to do, in fact, the best ending is to salvage the bones of all your relatives and bury them, and then let the fishermen fish in this lake, but how to go down to the bottom of the lake to salvage the bones, but it is impossible to do!" ”
"It may not be impossible, but I'm afraid I won't have the heart to do it!" Nu He Yu interjected on the side.
Wei Qing's eyes lit up, and he looked at Nu He Yu: "Please say, as long as it is possible, I will do my best!" ”
"Brother, forget it!" Kill He Yu sighed: "This is a match-and-nothing thing, not to mention that if it turns out to be a lie in the end, you and my brother are deceiving the government again!" ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Wei Qing said: "Even if it is a rumor, you can also try it, if it doesn't work, it's not a big deal, if it works, it's a big deal to bury everyone's relatives!" ”
Nu He Yu nodded and said: "Since there is General Wei's words, I will say it, if there is any blame in the future, it will be completely borne by me Nu He Yu, and it has nothing to do with others!" ”
Wei Qing's heart was sad.
The people asked the government for help, and they actually wanted to risk killing their heads, and if they wanted to provide news, they had to say that they were guilty of the crime, and if they were governed in this way, even if there were no Jin people to invade, sooner or later there would be chaos.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Wei Qing repeated again: "If this is also considered a crime, Wei will bear this crime with you!" ”
A look of surprise appeared on the faces of several of the lake bandits.
They have heard a lot of official articles, such as "never be convicted for words", "know everything, say everything", "open up the way of speech" and so on, but the words "I will take the blame with you" actually came from the mouth of a figure of the level of General Dingyuan, which is really moving.
Nu He Yu heard that Wei Qing had already said this part, and he no longer covered it up, nodded and said: "General Wei is quick to talk, admire it below, and talk about it below, a few years ago, there was a person from the traveling side, surnamed Xu Xiake, I heard that this person was dedicated to studying the geographical wonders of various places, he came to Huainan to hear about it, and personally dived into the lake several times, and later said, this Surabaya City is an instant into the water, in fact, it is not flooded, just like we use a big cup, when the mouth of the cup is inserted into the water downward, because of the obstruction of gas, The water only stays at the mouth of the cup, and will not enter the cup, Surabaya City suddenly enters the water, and the water is also blocked by the air, and it does not flood Surabaya City, and this city has an entrance near the shore, but you don't have to dive into the deep water to enter the city, so as long as we find this entrance, we can easily lift those bones out, but at that time, there were many liars who claimed to be masters in Huainan City, and the county guard at that time was very disgusted with this kind of people, so I heard this Xu Xiake speak so strangely, I think it should be a liar, So he was forcibly driven away, and no one knew about the entrance he was talking about! ”
Wei Qing snorted and said: "This county guard is really confused, is it a liar, just send someone to follow Xu Xiake to see if the entrance is real, if it is a liar, it will be severely punished, if it is not a liar, it will be rewarded heavily, such a simple thing, but it has to sit in the official office and give an order based on assumptions, it is really like ,,,,,, pig's head!" ”
As soon as the last four words came out, several lake bandits became close to Wei Qing, and they now found that the original official and the official were not exactly the same, Wei Qing, the official, spoke in a real way, and did not have any official articles, and even spoke rudely like them, and he was really a person in love.
Seeing that Wei Qing was so sincere, the anger in his heart also subsided a lot, and he bowed his hand to Wei Qing and said: "In fact, we people, who don't want to live and work in peace and contentment, and who live a peaceful life, and who likes to drink blood every day, live and die in an instant, but are forced to be helpless, if General Wei can do his best to deal with this matter, we people don't have to do anything about lake bandits!" ”
"Don't be a lake bandit anymore!" Wei Qing replied: "I will definitely do my best to deal with this matter, you will follow me to fight against the Jin Army from now on, and be an upright Han soldier!" ”
Kill He Yu smiled, shook his head and said: "This can't be, our seven brothers have already sworn that we would rather die than be officers and soldiers, but General Wei is so honest, we will naturally not be lake bandits anymore, our brothers still have some good hands, they should be willing to join the official army, General Wei can rest assured to recruit troops when he returns to the city this time, and our seven brothers will pass on the words to let everyone know that General Wei is different from the former officials and officials!" ”
Wei Qing saw that these seven people had no intention of joining the army, so he could only sigh, but this time the strength of the people who came forward was not in vain, he leveled the lake bandits, collected a group of soldiers, listened and understood the reason for this strange thing, untied the knot in the hearts of the people of Huainan, and at least knew a way to find the bones of the people of Surabaya, and everyone was finally happy.
