Chapter 437: Iniquity
The Tartars are finally here.
The villagers of Taoning Village were gathered at the entrance of the village to receive a lecture.
The leader of the Tartar was a reckless man with five big and three coarse, and he muttered in Chinese, that is, he meant that everyone should actively donate food.
The villagers looked at each other, and they didn't dare to come out.
They have saved some food this year, but no one wants to take it out.
These tartars are inferior to pigs and dogs, and it is better to feed them directly than to give them food.
But no one dared to say it.
Everyone is watching the nose and nose, hoping that the Tartar will not notice him.
The Qing army general was obviously angered by the resistance of the villagers of Taoning Village, and he scolded loudly: "A group of shameless things, we are the king's master. Does Master Wang understand? The Qing Dynasty is about to seize the world, when will you wait for Diao Min to pay attention to filial piety at this time? That's all for today. Lao Tzu has a task in his body, he must collect 500 stone of grain, if he can't complete the task, we will eat and hang, and none of you will be able to run! ”
He glanced at everyone, and seeing that there was still no response, he sneered and said, "Okay, good." Pretend to be dumb for us, don't you? Well, come on, let's search from house to house! ”
As soon as he gave the order, the wolf-like Qing soldiers scattered in all directions and began to search in twos and threes.
Don't look at their small number but full of majesty, as if this is their territory. On the contrary, the villagers of Taoning Village dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and they drooped their heads one by one in desperation.
"General, take a break, your subordinates can do this kind of work."
A general smiled flatteringly.
"Hmm."
The commander of the Qing army responded, put his hands behind his back and said: "It is said that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, I think it is true." The people in this village have a thief's eyebrows one by one, and it is not a good thing at first glance. My conscience is very bad. ”
"That's what the general said." The general sent a sycophant, and then continued: "My subordinates heard that Huguang is the granary of the world, and although Yunyang Mansion is not as good as Jingxiang, it is also very rich. There may be no food in this Taoning village? It must be these Diao people who are deliberately targeting my Qing Dynasty king. ”
"You're right. These mud-legged people don't know how to advance or retreat, thinking that our Lao Tzu is easy to bully, so we Lao Tzu will give them some color to see. ”
...
...
"Master Jun, Master Jun, you can't take this. Xiao Lao'er's family is counting on this grain for the winter, if you take it, Xiao Lao'er's family will have to starve to death. ”
"Yes, Master Jun, you just want to leave some for us, seeing that winter is coming, where are we going to find food to eat."
"Yo he, it's really a group of sharp-tongued Diao people, saying one thing at a time."
A Qing soldier jokingly looked at the couple in front of him: "What does it matter if you people eat less." Lao Tzu is collecting military rations, do you understand military rations? ”
He stepped forward and threatened: "If you don't cooperate with our Lao Tzu, you can cut off your head right now." Do you want food or death? ”
The woman was stunned, pulled her husband's sleeve and said, "What should you do if you are in charge?" ”
The man hesitated for a moment, then fell to his knees and kowtowed to the Qing soldier: "Master Jun, let's leave us some food, otherwise we really won't be able to survive this winter." ”
"Diao Min who doesn't know how to lift!"
The Qing soldier kicked him in the chest: "Your life is worth as much as the life of the soldiers of the Wang Division?" ”
Then he carried the food on his back and went out.
The man was kicked and rolled on the ground in pain, and the woman threw herself forward and cried, "Master, what iniquity have we done!" How do you spend this day! ”
The Qing soldiers turned a blind eye to this and left.
The situation is similar to that of the rest of the families.
Most of the families hid their food.
But their home is so big, where can they hide? The Qing soldiers searched and found it.
After finding them, these villagers were punched and kicked, and they showed no mercy.
Li honestly watched his heart pounding, for fear that the same thing would happen to him.
But when he thought of the pit he dug that no one would find, he couldn't help but feel a little fixed in his heart.
Finally, the Tartars came to search his house.
There were three people who came, and one of them seemed to be a low-ranking officer.
Seeing that he gave a few orders, the other two rushed into the house and began to search.
The two searched very roughly, turning Li Laoshi's house into a mess.
Li honestly looked distressed, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and he just looked forward to sending away these plague gods as soon as possible.
The two Qing soldiers spent half an hour searching Li Laoshi's house, but they didn't find a single grain of grain, so they had no choice but to go to the general to return their lives.
The general's eyebrows were twisted together when he heard this.
"Boldly trick the people, dare to tease Lao Tzu."
He pulled out his knife and put it on Li Laoshi's neck.
Li Laoshi only felt that his legs were weak, his Adam's apple was swaying up and down, and he couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Li Chen was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Don't blame the military master, my family is really poor, if it weren't for the relief of the villagers these days, I'm afraid I would have to eat Guanyin soil." ”
The general of the Qing army didn't believe it, and sneered: "Don't fuck you liar." If you're hungry all the time, what would you look like this? Okay, if you want to play the slippery head, let's let you see the end of the slippery head. ”
After saying that, the two soldiers tied Li Laoshi to the old locust tree in the yard.
"Master Jun, what is this for, what is this for. Boss, you..."
Li Chen's face was at a loss, looking at the few Tartars and then at his own man, he actually cried out with a wow.
"What kind of iniquity is this, what kind of iniquity is this!"
She pounded her feet and cried.
But instead of awakening the conscience of the Qing soldiers, this made them feel happy.
"Cry, shout, no one will come to save you even if you shout at your throat."
The Qing army general drew a horsewhip and walked straight towards Li Laoshi.
Seeing this, Li Laoshi immediately understood what the other party wanted to do, and was so frightened that he begged for mercy again and again: "Master Jun, Master Jun spare your life." ”
"Want me to spare my life? Okay, you tell me where the food is hidden, and we'll take it and leave. ”
The general of the Qing army said coldly.
"Master Jun, we really don't have any food hidden."
Li Laoshi still refused to let go, but there was already a cry in his voice.
The general of the Qing army laughed wildly twice, and whipped his whip in the air: "Lao Tzu will ask you one last time, where is the grain hidden?" ”
"Master Jun, we didn't hide any food..."
"Whoosh!"
The Qing generals couldn't bear it anymore, so they whipped at Li Laoshi, and this whip was whipped on his chest, and the coarse cloth was torn and a wound was torn out.
