Generally speaking, the enemy is hated, but the traitors who help the enemy are even more hateful. The degree of this hatred is directly proportional to the damage caused by the enemy.

Needless to say, the ferocity of the construction brought to the people in the Guannai was difficult. At this time, the people of Beijing learned that behind the murderous Jianjiao, there were Jin merchants who had made great efforts. Without them, the captives would not have wreaked havoc here. As soon as I think of this, there are definitely not a few people who want to eat the meat of the eight great Jin merchants and drink their blood.

No, when I heard that at noon tomorrow, the Son of Heaven would escort the eight Jin merchants to Beijing, and everyone would offer incense to their dead family members that night.

Liu Chengye is a blacksmith, and he is a clever but powerful blacksmith. In the past, he made a lot of money with his exquisite iron-striking skills. bought a few acres of land outside the city, and placed his father and children there, and he himself also paid the money, exempted from craftsmanship, did not have to go to the Forbidden City to be a blacksmith, and took a group of apprentices to work hard to make money. I hope that when I am old and can't move the iron, I will have enough pension money.

However, no one expected that Jianyu suddenly entered the customs, and all the Zhuangzi outside the city were slaughtered, and his father and children could not escape.

At this time, he didn't say a word, just stood behind his daughter-in-law, listening to his daughter-in-law talking about incense to his father and children.

But when his daughter-in-law was talking and talking, she couldn't go any further, turned around, threw herself into his arms, and began to cry.

Liu Chengye took a deep breath, first buried his emotions in his heart, patted his daughter-in-law's back, and said in a deep voice: "Those prisoners who are locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department have all been smashed and bleeding by me, but it's a pity that those prison guards don't let me smash them anymore." But tomorrow, those dog thieves who helped Jianyu will be escorted to Jingshi. Either way, I'm ready. ”

His daughter-in-law was a little puzzled when she heard this, and when she looked up, she saw him pointing behind her, and saw a pile of stones on the table over there, the size of a fist, and the horns of the water chestnut were distinct. Obviously, he was going to use these stones to throw at the Jin merchants who aided the abuse.

"Don't worry, with my strength, I will definitely be able to stone a few to avenge my father and our son!" Liu Chengye said, sighed and said, "It's just a pity that I can't go to Liaodong Hand Blade Slave Chief!" ”

When his daughter-in-law heard this, she did not speak, but turned and walked to the side of the cupboard, opened it, took out a cloth bag, and spread it out on the table, revealing a pile of smaller stones.

As soon as he saw this, Liu Chengye understood that his daughter-in-law wanted to go with him.

He looked at his daughter-in-law, reached over and held his daughter-in-law's hand, sighed and said, "Tomorrow I will kill a few traitors, even if it is to avenge my father and mother, as well as our son." Then I'm going to use the rest of the money to buy a road guide, and we'll go to the south to open a blacksmith shop and start over, right? ”

Although his craftsmanship is exquisite, on the side of Jingshi, as the Jianyu rages again and again, life is getting more and more difficult. The money saved in the past was not even enough to maintain the food and drink of the blacksmith shop. A year ago, as the price of food skyrocketed, he had to suspend the blacksmith shop and send his apprentices back.

"I heard that Jiangnan is rich, there are no prisoners, and there are no thieves, and when the days are stable, we can have a few more babies, okay?" Liu Chengye looked at his daughter-in-law and said.

If it were possible, no one would want to leave their homeland. This is especially true in the ancient era when transportation was underdeveloped. After Liu Chengye finished speaking, he sighed, and his face was helpless.

His daughter-in-law looked at him when she heard this, saw the helplessness in his heart, nodded and replied: "Marry a chicken and a dog, marry a dog and run all over the mountain." Where the husband goes, the concubine will go there! ”

Liu Chengye listened, looked at his daughter-in-law, and after a while, he said "um", and then said: "Go to bed early, if you don't get up early tomorrow, it is estimated that you won't be able to grab a good position!" ”

He didn't even have to guess to know that tomorrow there must be countless people who think the same way as him, who want to "meet" those damned traitors!

Early the next morning, as Liu Chengye expected, when the two of them went out early, there were already many people on the street, including many neighbors. If it was before, when everyone met, it would naturally be to say hello and ask, "Did you eat today?" Or, "Where can I do it?" ”

Today, however, no one spoke, at most they nodded to each other. Everyone, with anger, needless to say, is holding back a wave of hatred, waiting to vent it.

However, what they didn't expect was that the soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were dispatched early and martial law was imposed on the streets entering the city. And a notice was posted, and a special person was preaching: No one is allowed to hit prisoners with hard objects such as stones today, and offenders will be arrested!

"I've just prepared a dozen or so stones, how does the government know?"

"Yes, so do I, I only prepared a dozen or so stones!"

“……”

Someone quickly answered these people's questions: "Most of the people who went out of the city yesterday went to pick up stones, right?" I was out of town a little late, and damn it, I had to walk a long way to pick up a few suitable stones! ”

"That's right, just this movement, is the government blind, I must know!"

“……”

In the past, there had never been such a thing, with the majesty of the government, who dared to take something to throw prisoners. If you accidentally hit the heads of the officers and soldiers, you won't be able to eat and walk around.

But this time, most of the people actually picked up stones for later use, which can be regarded as a grand event.

The reason for this is that these traitors who are conspiracy and rebellion are too hateful; The second is the matter in the prison of the Criminal Department, which gave them a reminder.

"It's a pity that the government actually issued a notice, otherwise, it would definitely kill that ** thief!"

"No, you see, I've already brought it all!"

“……”

Some people regrettably threw away the stones, and some people, a little unwillingly, secretly hid a few pieces on their bodies. Their every move was soon reported, and then a new order came down.

The soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, who maintained order on both sides of the street, began to search everyone standing behind them, making it clear that they could not bring hard objects such as stones. Under this search, the Five Cities Terracotta Division had to transfer to a flatbed truck and pull hard objects such as stones outside the city one after another.

"You have not counted, I have counted, fifty-six carts of stones! With so many stones, no matter how much you can smash these traitors! ”

"But no, they can all be buried, this group of people who have forgotten their ancestors, they don't know how to see their ancestors after death!"

"It's a pity, it's all in vain!"

"Actually, it's not, it's still useful. Think about it, you can talk to your nephew in the future, you see, the stones outside the Jingshi have been picked up, and the stones pulled out are as many as fifty-six carts. The generation of the number of people who forget their ancestors, how much hatred there is, who will dare to learn from these Jin merchants in the future, in order to make money, help the abuse, this is the end! ”

"When you say that, it seems to be the same! Ring for posterity! Let's see who will dare in the future! ”

“……”

More than an hour has passed, and the people of Jingshi, who have gotten up early, are obviously a little sluggish, and they talk a little less.

But at this time, a fast horse suddenly galloped and informed the Yongwei Battalion and the Hussar Battalion that they had arrived in Beijing.

As soon as they heard the news, everyone's spirits suddenly perked up, and they stretched their necks to see clearly, so what does the black-hearted Jin Shang look like?

However, to their surprise, the most advanced city was a cart of gold, silver and jewelry, with the lid open, and they knew what it was at a glance.

Seeing this, the crowd couldn't help but stir again.

"Wow, so much gold and silver jewelry, I have never seen so much gold and silver jewelry in my life!"

"That's right, my son has always thought that the conditions at home are good, but this is the first time I have seen so much gold, silver and jewelry!"

"Don't say I've seen it, it's the first time I've seen what gold looks like. How much silver should there be in this box of land? This...... That's too many to count! ”

“……”

After all, looking at it, the people of Jingshi did not have a special reaction to these gold, silver and jewels escorted by the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion.

It's just that after there were more vehicles passing by, Liu Chengye's angry voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Look, those Jin merchants have so much gold, silver and jewelry, but they are all stained with countless blood and tears!" ”

Upon hearing this, someone immediately agreed, and said with the same anger: "The more they earn, the greater the sin they have committed!" This group of profiteers who kill a thousand knives! ”

“……”

As they spoke, more and more people became angry. The emotions that had just fallen back filled their hearts again. was full of anger, and wanted to vent it.

After the carts of gold, silver and jewels passed, there were truckloads of grain, and there was no end in sight.

In fact, this is only a part, which is used to supplement the food on the side of the Jingshi; A large part of it is also sent directly to various parts of Gyeonggi. Emperor Chongzhen's plan was to restore farming and carry out post-war reconstruction with work for relief. At least those cities that have been destroyed by the construction and capture must be cleaned up, and the bones and other places must be cremated and buried, etc.

Besides, on the Jingshi side, seeing so much grain, thinking that these were all secretly collected by those Jin merchants and ready to be sent to Liaodong, they were even more angry.

You must know that it is precisely because these grains have been hoarded by Jin merchants that their grains will become more and more scarce and difficult to buy. Just like Liu Chengye, who was originally a relatively good life, also fell down, if it weren't for Emperor Chongzhen's temporary tough measures, people like Liu Chengye would have starved to death in the end.

After these grains passed, the people of Jingshi finally waited for the person they had always wanted to see. Groups of prisoners, with their hands tied and connected with ropes, were escorted by the guards of the Brave Guard Battalion.

Obviously, because there were too many people, they did not have the treatment of being in a prisoner car, and enjoyed the treatment of the Ming people being plundered on the road to Liaodong once.

None of the eight Jin merchants ran, and they were in front, walking sluggishly and numbly.

Behind them were the Governor of Xuanda, the chief generals of the armies in the northern part of Shanxi, who were also the main accomplices; Later, there were the families of Jin merchants and Jin civil and military officials.

The crime of rebellion, punishing the nine clans, of course, is a large number.

Seeing them, the people of Jingshi suddenly became agitated.

The enemies are very red when they see each other, which is used to explain the state of the people of Beijing at this time. One by one, they scolded and wanted to rush forward to do it themselves.

As soon as the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division saw that the situation was a little wrong, they immediately tried their best to stop them from influencing the Son of Heaven's strong army to escort the prisoners. But in any case, this momentum is indeed a bit big, which makes it very difficult for these soldiers to stop them.

Seeing this situation, I felt the anger of the people of Jingshi towards them, and those sluggish Jin merchants, as well as those civil and military generals, showed frightened faces one by one. No matter how bold they were when they were captured, when they felt the anger of so many people in Jingshi at this time, the fear surged up from the bottom of their hearts.

"Don't mess around, the court has its own laws, and if you attack the prisoners, you will be imprisoned!" The soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division shouted a warning while desperately stopping them.

At this time, even the guards of the Yongwei Battalion who were escorted had to put on a vigilant posture. No one expected that these people who had forgotten their ancestors would attract such anger from the people of Beijing!

Watching the enemy slowly come over, Liu Chengye in the crowd, his eyes became redder and redder. In front of his eyes, there seemed to be the voice and smile of his father and son again, as if all this was still yesterday. However, he knew in his heart that all of this could not be done again. And the culprits of all this are these beasts that appear in front of them.

Suddenly, Liu Chengye roared angrily, broke free from his daughter-in-law's hand, and squeezed forward.

Either it was the power of hatred, or the strength of the iron, he broke through the barrier of the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities and rushed towards the Jin merchant he was staring at.

This Jin Shang, who happened to be Fan Yongdou, was startled when he saw someone with red eyes and rushed towards him with anger. Although there were still guards of the Brave Guard Battalion to stop him, he was still very scared, and almost involuntarily wanted to retreat. But with his hands tied, and other people connected, he couldn't retreat if he wanted to.

The soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion raised their weapons and faced Liu Chengye to stop him.

However, at this time, Liu Chengye seemed to be crazy. In his eyes, there was only Fan Yongdou, ignoring the spear in front of him, and at the same time shouting loudly: "Daddy, my son, I will avenge you today......

Or they heard his shout, and the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion who stopped him softened their hearts, turned their spears away, and did not stab him. Converted into a gun, trying to stop him.

But at this time, Liu Chengye seemed to be crazy, and his strength was very great, and he actually rushed away from the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion and pounced in front of Fan Yongdou.

With him as the first one, the other powerful people of the capital also rushed over, and the scene suddenly got out of control.
