Chapter 618 Autumn Moon

"You still want to deny it?"

Sha Chengzhe shouted, "Don't you remember what you said in front of me that day?" ”

As he spoke, he angrily demanded that the man be brought to the stage and confronted him.

The militia of Shijiaqiao Village had already geared up and immediately pulled the old man to the stage.

"Folks,"

Sha Chengzhe shouted loudly, "Contemptible Sha Chengzhe, back then, in order to save the fugitive, my father was framed by Zhai Dahu and died unjustly in the county jail...... You've all heard of this, right? ”

The case of the Shajia family in Caobuchang caused a sensation in half of the county at that time, and the people in the village also heard about it, and now they have heard his complaint in person, and many people have sad faces.

"On that day, I went to his house to beg, begging him to raise his noble hand to spare my father, but he couldn't help but say that he tied me up, and he beat me to the point that my skin was open and my flesh was broken, and I was ...... to death."

As he spoke, Sha Chengzhe pulled his sleeves and took off his shirt, revealing many tortured scars on his body.

The people who stood close saw that his chest and back were indeed eye-catching scars, and they couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation, and the people behind them all stretched their necks and hugged forward one by one.

Zhai Dahu sneered and said, this is the dismount,"

He turned around and stared at the old man, "You were there at the time, and you flattered him repeatedly, saying that he was dealing with poor ghosts, and he should be killed like this......

"You think I've passed out, so you're in prison and you're talking about the drug plan in person,"

As he spoke, he stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed at the old man, "It's you, who gave him a vicious idea, is there such a thing?" ”

The old man's face turned red, and he wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't say anything.

"You say, my father is famous among poor ghosts, and he can't let it go, but he can let me go back and spread the word,"

The more Sha Chengzhe spoke, the more excited he became, and he continued to complain with tears, "You said with a sneer, tell this kid to go back and tell his mother that if he doesn't give up his family's salt fields, his father and son don't want to live......"

"You also said that you can't release people after receiving the salt fields, but you have to dig up my family's ancestral grave so that you can turn feng shui and ...... once and for all."

"Pity my mother......"

He couldn't stop crying and whimpered, "My mother...... She knew that she was deceived, and she was angry, and she ...... this."

At this time, the audience was already crying.

The old man knew that something was wrong, but he had nothing to refute, and he was so anxious that he stared at him.

"You thief, you dare to stare at me!"

Seeing that he was so dishonest, Sha Chengzhe roared, "Now, there is Lord Qingtian who is the master of our small people, and there is no longer you riding on our heads...... It's the day of pooping and peeing! ”

As he spoke, he could no longer suppress his grief and indignation, grabbed the old man's collar, and gave him an old fist.

Seeing this, several militiamen on the side had already beaten him to the ground and dragged him aside.

The old man was hurt and frightened by this beating, and he only cared about kicking his legs, but where could he get up......

Although Lin Xiao was very satisfied with this effect, he was worried that the old man would be killed on the spot, so he whispered to Situ Zheng: "This...... Isn't it a bit too much? ”

"This man deserves to die!"

Situ Zheng's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You see everyone is crying...... If it weren't for the bad things his family did and harmed the people, how could he cry so miserably? ”

"......" Lin Xiao was speechless.

But he was right when he thought about it, among the people below, some people's experiences may be worse than this, but they don't dare to say it now, and those who dare to say it can't say it clearly.

Sha Chengzhe is a reader, although he is a little overdone, but he has no concerns, so he dares to say it clearly, and it is good to mobilize emotions like this, which will help everyone break through that shackle......

Thinking of this, he comforted himself: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, and mobilizing the masses is the most important thing at the moment, so let's continue to see......"

Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly came over and whispered softly: "There is a maid in the ancestral hall, I want to see the person in charge." ”

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, for no reason, how could a maid ask to see him?

He thought for a while, talked to Situ Zheng, and brought a few people over to take a look.

The Zhai family has a large population, and in addition to the family, there are hundreds of male and female servants alone.

Their composition is more complicated, and it is not easy to screen for a while, just now in order to hold a criticism meeting, according to Hu Xianzu's list, several powerful evil servants have been taken away, and the rest are temporarily detained in the ancestral hall.

This maid who wants to see him is named Qiuyue.

She was originally a native of Henan in the Central Plains, a few years ago, due to a great drought, there was no way to survive with her parents to flee here, I don't want to, within half a year, her parents both died of illness, leaving her alone in this world.

Speaking of the drought in North China, which lasted for nearly ten years, it was also one of the main reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty......

In the past 1,000 years, China's first low temperature period began in the 12th century, which was the first time that China's climate changed from a warm period that lasted for 400 years to a sharp colder.

the second low temperature period, which occurred from the end of the 13th century to the first half of the 14th century; The third appeared near the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries.

The fourth low temperature period, which occurred in the first half of the 17th century, was the coldest period in the last 1,000 years.

How cold is it?

There is an orange orchard in Jiangxi, and since the Tang Dynasty, the annual production has been a tribute, and it was during this period that it was completely destroyed due to severe frost damage.

During this period, the activity of sunspots was at a very low value, the temperature dropped sharply to the lowest point in a thousand years, the world was in a Xiaoice climate, strong earthquakes around the world were frequent, and other natural disasters such as plagues and locust plagues were also concentrated.

The Chongzhen drought is in this period, and its duration is long, and the drought is widespread, which has not been seen in the past 500 years.

The drought began in northern Shaanxi in 1637 and ended in Hunan in 1646, with the main area affected in northern China.

At that time, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong and other regions had been in drought for more than five years, and Henan Province, where the center of the drought area was located, had a drought for seven years.

When the drought was at its most severe, the Fenshui and Zhanghe rivers in Shanxi were dried up, the nine rivers in Hebei were dried up, the Baiyangdian Lake dried up, the seedlings dried up, and the crops were lost.

The drought in Henan is all over the province, the grass is withered, the water is not deep, the grass, trees, animal skins, insects and flies are all eaten, many people are starving to death, and starvation carries the road......

A large number of people in Hebei and Shandong abandoned their farming and fled, and many villages became uninhabited villages, and in large arid areas such as Gansu and Shaanxi, "fathers and sons and husbands and wives cut each other apart, and eight or nine out of ten people died", and the phenomenon of cannibalism appeared......

During this period, there were Qing soldiers from outside, drought from within, and natural disasters combined with heavy enslavement, which led to a total collapse of the economy and further intensified social unrest.

Under the misery of the people, the displaced people were forced to rise up, which directly led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

What is ironic is that after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the temperature began to rise rapidly in 1650, which led to the so-called "Kangqian Prosperous Era" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty......

……

In order to bury her parents, Qiu Yue, who was still an adult, sold herself, and after several resales, she fell into Zhai Dahu's house and became the personal maid of the most favored fourth aunt.

When the village was broken, most of the wives and concubines of the Zhai family were forced or voluntarily hanged, and some of the maids committed suicide in panic.

Qiuyue, a girl, was unwilling to give a funeral to her ordinary and mean master, and after seeing the soldiers of the broken village come in, she didn't commit any offense against the woman Qiu, so she didn't want to die. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
