Volume 1: Juvenile Walk Chapter 17: Hou Guan
"My sonβ" When Ma Changqing's wife heard that her son had been killed, she rushed into the courtyard, and cried when she saw her man. She was very dissatisfied with her husband, and she spilled in a shrill voice: "Old thing! Still merry! My son was killed, and you didn't even let a fart go! How can there be a heartless father like you in the world? β
Ma Changqing is the governor of the township, and he has some decisive means of killing people on weekdays. But in fact, he was born as a foreign marquis, so in the face of the hatred of killing his son, he did not directly gather people to fight.
The emperors of all dynasties had spy organizations, such as the Black Ice Platform of Qin Shi Huang, the embroidered messenger of the Han Dynasty, the Great Who He, the Jinglimen and the bad people of the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial City Division and the Horse Straight of the Song Dynasty, the Jinyiwei and Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty, etc., all of which are of the same nature.
The spy agency of the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui Dynasty is the internal and external marquis, from the harem to the court, all under the supervision of the internal and external marquis. The marquis system originated from Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was established in order to implement the reform of Xianbei Sinicization, and was passed down from generation to generation after the death of the father.
When Ma Changqing took over the position of foreign marquis, it was the most turbulent years of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wuzong Yuwen Yong destroyed the Buddha and died violently, Yuwenyan ascended the throne at the age of eight, Yang Kaihuang took the opportunity to seize the power of the court, and built Sui on behalf of the state, and how many high-ranking officials and nobles fell to the ground in a blink of an eye.
Yang Kaihuang also served as the commander of internal and external marquis, and knew the importance of intelligence, so after becoming emperor, he vigorously developed internal and external marquis, and secretly arranged the training of newly entered marquis.
Not to mention anything else, all those who take over as marquis have blood on their hands, and they must learn to lurk so that they can play at critical moments. "Madam, of course revenge must be avenged! Hehe, can I not feel distressed when my son dies? Look, the two families of Gao and Xu must be ruined. Ma Changqing said ruthlessly.
"So what do you say? Let's just this one son, if you still have a conscience, you will come up with means! Mrs. Ma still didn't give up.
As soon as she mentioned the murderer of her son, her face showed a fierce expression of choosing someone to kill.
Which son is not the flesh that fell from the mother's body? When her own child was killed, this detached woman was bound to take revenge.
"Do you know why the Gao family is a killer? How did he come back so quickly. Speaking of business, Ma Changqing's face calmed down, and now the Ma family has climbed up to the palace again, faintly a tyrant in the neighborhood, how can an idler do it without any scruples?
"That little cub of the Gao family has a good life, he actually worshiped the Duke of Chu as his father-in-law, and he came back alive from the battlefield! It was he who killed the young master at the entrance of the village, didn't you see it, sir, how fast the sword was cut down! It's easy to hit the Gao family, but what if you offend the Duke of Chu? "The official family is also in a dilemma.
Hearing this, Ma Changqingqing's face changed several times, his eyes were cold, and finally he said ruthlessly: "What happened to the Duke of Chu? Murder pays for life, you take Qi Changding to Gao's house to ask for an explanation. Master, I also have a relationship with the big people in the palace, what are you afraid of. β
"Yes, yes, the old servant will go."
A moment later, in the dock fort, more than 20 strong men from the Ma Mansion officials gathered together, and each armed man rushed towards the Gao family.
Ma Changqing worked hard in the house, robbing the Son of Heaven and the beautiful girl, relying on the arrogance of the Duke of Chu and other crimes, and listed many trumped-up illegal evidence, stamped the seal of the marquis, and secretly sent his henchmen out. Only then did he say proudly: "Since ancient times, many generals who have achieved great achievements have died, I don't believe that Chu can be an exception?" β
At this moment, there were sounds of fighting and screams outside, as well as the panicked cries of the officials: "Master, master, it's not good, run away!" β
"Hmph, what's the matter?" Ma Changqing got up and walked out the door.
A short spear pierced through the Mafu official's house, and the old servant was on the ground, bleeding all over the ground, struggling with himself, and said intermittently: "Master, quickly, escape,,,,γ β
The gate of the front yard was violently slammed open, and Shi Danai and Gao Kaidao each broke in with a short spear and a skull.
Gao Si walked in from behind, smiled coldly, and said, "You don't have to run away. Are you Ma Changqing? The long sword pointed at the other party and said, "Do you have a last word?" β
Ma Changqing stiffened his head and said softly, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Gao, Gao Langjun, my son was killed by you, and a certain father naturally sent someone to ask for clarification. There is no other intention, there is no other intention. β
Then he lowered his head and said: "My son's death is deserved, fortunately, Mrs. Xu is safe and sound." I also asked Gao Langjun to spare my family for the sake of the villagers. β
"I, I've kowtowed to you." Ma Changqing knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, wept bitterly, and after a while, his forehead was covered with blood.
"That's it!" Gao Si took back the sword, looked at the tragic situation of the other party, and couldn't kill the killer anymore.
After all, killing the young master of the Ma family at that time was an impulse under anger. I made my mistake first, and I brought someone to kill me to eradicate the roots, is this still a human being?
"You're the one who hurt my son. You damned slaves, give me my life! Out of nowhere, Mrs. Ma picked up a wooden stick and rushed over.
Seeing this, Gao Kaidao sneered and said, "The old beggar is looking for death!" I want to see your son, and grandpa will give you a ride. "The sword is raised and slashed.
He was originally a violent man, so he didn't care about his life.
"Stop!" Gao Si stepped forward angrily, and the long sword struck to stop the ferocious sword, and was shocked to the point of surging blood and blood. His compassion was born, and the idea of a peaceful era prevailed in later generations, and he did not want to kill more.
Mrs. Ma's stick was no longer blocked, and it immediately smashed into Gao Si's head, making him dizzy with gold stars in his eyes.
"Spare your life, spare your life, my lord spare your life!" Regardless of the pain, Ma Changqing got up and pulled away his wife and continued to beg for mercy.
Gao Si was okay with a blow, he gritted his teeth and retreated, and he was about to take people away.
"Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful." With the applause, the red-whisked girl walked in with a long sword on her back and said to Ma Changqing: "The mayor of Mali is worthy of being a foreign marquis, and he has deceived these fools. β
Zhang Chuchen handed over a half-intercepted silk book and said: "Here you go, this is a secret report from the marquis in front of the emperor." β
Gao Si took it, and after looking at it carefully, the anger on his face gathered, and at this time, he thought that the other party's begging for mercy was actually a delaying tactic.
I thought that I had the chance to win, and I felt pity, and I didn't want the other party to be a poisonous snake coiled, which really no one could underestimate!
"Kill!" He directly drew his sword and stabbed out distractedly, and in a flash of cold light, he killed Ma Changqing.
"The master fought with you,,,,,γ" Seeing that the situation was not good, the mayor of Mali, who had a small city, suddenly pulled out his short knife and stabbed back, not wanting to die under the sword, no matter how many tricks he could, he didn't have time to carry out it.
"Poof." Another corpse in the end, Shi Danai heard the killing order, and killed Mrs. Ma on the spot with a spear in his hand.
"Stop, who told you to kill again?" Gao Si's face suddenly became gloomy.
It is too much to kill Mali, and it is too vicious to kill Madame again.
Seeing that he was scolded again, Shi Danai said innocently: You will kill the lord, of course I will kill you. Besides, it has always been to destroy the door, which is to kill it cleanly.
This is the logic of troubled times...... How cruel? He was not allowed to speak, and he did not want to ask anything.
Gao Si raised his sword and swore: "I'd rather let people bear me, and Hugh let me bear people." I will not allow the indiscriminate killing of innocents! "This is the opposite of Cao Cao's creed of 'I'd rather bear the people of the world, and let the people of the world bear me'.
As soon as these words came out, Gao Kaidao, who had been violent and murderous beside him, was also touched, and the face that was originally lively also put away a smile.
Wu San, the remaining leader of the Ma Mansion, saw that Gao Si and the others immediately weakened their hind legs, and they were used to following the young master of the Ma family on weekdays, and they were already timid, so they didn't dare to come up to help when they saw the killing in the courtyard, and they didn't even dare to say a word.
"Come here." After calming down his mind, Gao Si shouted at the few surviving little leaders.
In the past, before Gao Si entered the barracks, they would dare to do it even if they fought in person, but now, blood is flowing all over the ground, and no one is making trouble with their ten guts, and they have come forward to listen and deal with it.
The human head is not a weed in the wilderness, if you kill it at will, you will never survive again!
"Go and count the women and money and food that the Ma family has taken captive." Wu San and the other remnants of Ding Zhuang came to their senses at this time, and they helped each other and crawled to search for personnel and materials in the Roman Fort.
The red-whisked girl who secretly watched Gao Si's actions was curious.
As the saying goes, the county order that destroys the door is the small official who breaks the family.
According to the law of the imperial court, the officials are divided into three levels: court, state and county, and county government, and there are 29 levels of positions in the civil and military forces. Those who do not enter the stream are small officials, and the officials are divided into two classes: officials and Ding. The lowest is "ding", such as tax ding, guan ding, etc., all of which are temporary dispatches.
According to the practical truth, the power of the officials is not large, but oil and water can also be fished, and the key depends on their own skills. The officials were lowly and powerful, and as long as they made a little move in the apportionment of taxes, they could make ordinary people ruined. And most of the petty officials collude with local tyrants, and their identities are complicated. For example, Ma Changqing is both a li, a tax collector, and secretly a foreign marquis.
The Ma family has been inherited for three generations, and by Ma Changqing's generation, the Ma family has covered an area of 100 acres and dominates a township. For the people of Jiamaying Township, although Luoyang Ling is a parent official, many people may not see it once in their lives, Mali is the head of the township, and now he continues to draft the name of the Son of Heaven for the daughter, plundering people's wives and daughters, and seizing fertile land, so that the people in the township dare to be angry but dare not speak, and they are all afraid of tigers.
Now Gao Siyi beheaded Ma Changqing in a rage and ordered to go out, and the women who were robbed were quickly sent home, and immediately arranged to marry to avoid being sent to the palace again.
It wasn't until the evening that Wu San and the others came to report tremblingly, and after 20,000 stone of grain and seventy or eighty women were properly placed, there were still two women who had nowhere to go.
"Huh? What's going on with these two women? Gao Si suddenly asked another question, which scared Wu San and the others half to death.
"Tai Bao is angry, this, these two women are, they are Ma Changqing's daughters, they are still ,,,γ" Wu San couldn't make up his mind, so he had to have the courage to step forward and ask questions.
Gao Si (Si) said: "Don't worry, I said I won't kill anymore." Find two honest and reliable offspring and marry them. The lieutenant of the horse battalion will be the right for you in the future. β
"Yes, thank you." Wu San immediately beat the snake and showed his loyalty with the stick.
Gao Si only realized that the carp in the sea seemed to vomit a blister and became more vibrant, as if it did not have any. The changes in the number of kingly domineering qi were difficult for him to understand for a while.
"Shi Danai, you take the remaining five baht money from the Ma family and call Wang Da to Luoyang City to let Li Baiyao deal with the aftermath. Specifically, I wrote a letter. β
"No." Stanai answered.
Gao Si finished handling the last affairs of Ma Changqing's family and returned by moonlight.
The Red Whisk looked at him from time to time, as if she were comparing herself to someone.
Gao Kaidao pulled a little farther away at the end and silently guarded.
