"Humph! Unfilial son! The words from outside came into the hall clearly, and Brother Jiu scolded, eager to get up immediately and go to ask for the guilt.

"Jiu Niang, there is a saying: both hear the light, listen to the dark, the rumors and rumors spoken by the villagers should not be taken seriously. In the future, nothing in the countryside should be impulsive. Zhao Mengchen looked at his indignant daughter, shook his head, and said.

"Yes, Dad." Jiuniang lowered her head, but her ears were stunned, and she continued to listen to the conversation of the porters and villagers outside.

I only heard someone ask: "What did you do when you sold so many industries?" Did they all take it to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble? ”

"Oh, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble! In the eyes of others, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling is indeed a loser, but in the eyes of Chen Million, no matter how much he eats, drinks and gambles, he can't not only lose his family's industry, but what is he angry about. The man smiled and continued, "This Chen Inspector, he sold his family property and used it to recruit young people, saying that he was going to Lin'an Mansion to help the emperor fight the family Tartar (the southern name for Mengyuan slave owners). You say, this Mongol rode a tall horse, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the court were beaten to pieces by him, and you scattered all your property and recruited thousands of people, where is there enough for those Mongols to cut down. When the time comes, not only will people and money be empty, but also their lives will not be guaranteed, and the whole family will be implicated! Isn't this lard blinding the heart? Isn't this the end of the Chen family! ”

"yes. Those Tartars are murderous beasts that don't blink an eye. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the imperial court can't beat them, and thousands of people can't do anything, it's not enough to stuff their teeth, isn't this sending them to death. ”

"That's what I say. The defeated son lost the family property, and his life is still there. If the Chen family ghost is defeated like this, his life will be defeated. Someone said with a smile.

In the hall, Jiuniang heard that Chen Xunjian was scattering all his wealth to recruit people Qinwang, so she couldn't help but nodded, and then listened to the ridicule outside, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she was about to get up and go out to argue. Zhao Mengchen hurriedly waved his hand and asked her to sit down.

"Humph! Everyone is afraid of the Tartars, so they don't come forward, just wait for the Tartars to come to the door. Outside the door, a voice sounded, it was the Shi surnamed Xianggong, he stepped forward and said: "You haven't heard that Meng Yuan divides the people of the world into four classes, the first class Mongolians, the second class color eye people, the third class northern Han people, and our southerners are the fourth class." ”

"What's this. Aren't you born to be graded? There are officials and people, rich and poor. We inferior people are cattle and horses, and when we go, we don't want to be cows and horses and work hard to earn food. Someone said disapprovingly.

"You really live in the mountains, like sitting in a drum." Shi Xianggong said with a smile: "The Mongolians really treat us southerners as cattle and horses by dividing people into four classes. No, it's not as good as cows and horses. The Mongols clearly stipulated that the Mongols were masters, and if they killed inferior people, they only needed to accompany a donkey. You think to yourself, we southerners are inferior to the northern Han people, kill you, you are not dying in vain! Maybe not even a donkey can match it. ”

"No, it won't. Where can you kill people casually? The man said.

"It's true." The porter from Fucheng was even more well-informed, saying: "I heard that when the Mongols go to a place, they will rob all the land and property of the people in a place, and all the women will be taken away, and the men will be slaves. If you resist a little, you will kill them all. A few years ago, in Henan, Shandong, and Sichuan, no one was left behind. ”

"No, it won't. When all the people are killed, which one is called to go to the fields, isn't there grass growing in the fields, and what are they eating? ”

"You're stupid. The Mongols eat cattle and sheep, where do you want people to farm. The grass grows in the fields just in time for cattle and sheep. Someone laughed.

"No, then you have to raise a lot of cattle and sheep." The man still didn't believe it.

"Don't believe it. Last time I heard a businessman from Hubei talk about it, it would indeed be like this. The Mongol lord will drive away all the people of a place and let the fields grow grass. I heard that the old Mongolian emperor said that the place where the sun shines will be turned into a Mongolian pasture. ”

"That's the kind of thing that happens." The crowd exclaimed.

A porter continued, "The merchant also said that in the eyes of the Mongolian elders, the southerners and the northern Han are all slaves, and they will be killed if they don't like the eyes. ”

"Those Mongolian lords kill people casually, sleep with women casually, those people are dead meat, they can't move! So many people, together with a knife to kill the Mongolian master. Suddenly, a hateful man said, and everyone looked at it, but it was the stout man named Beidiyan.

"Hehe, can you kill it, people have already prevented you. The merchant said that in the north, where the Mongols ruled, the Han Chinese could not be in company, and they could not go with relatives and friends. Five households and one guarantee, mutual supervision. If one person commits a crime, all five households will be killed. There can be no iron tools at home, there are no iron tools for plowing and mowing grass, and there is a knife for cooking and cutting vegetables, which is engraved with the font number and must not be lost. It must also be handed over to the Mongolian master for inspection regularly, and after the Mongolian master has checked it, the five households will pay for it to be redeemed for cooking and cutting vegetables. You don't have a knife or a gun, you're unarmed, and you're going to fight with your fists. With his bare hands, can he beat a soldier in armor, riding a horse, carrying a knife and carrying an arrow on his back? ”

The Yankees were stunned for a moment, twisted their heads and stopped talking, and everyone couldn't help but feel equally heavy when they thought about that kind of scene.

After a long time, someone sighed: "Hey, this is fate." It's time to harvest the seeds. May the Bodhisattva bless you, and the Mongols do not come to us. ”

"Hey, the court is gone, can you still hide in this place?" Another porter smiled bitterly: "I heard someone say a few days ago that the lord in our state had already sent someone to Xuanfu and Jiankang to ask the Mongolian lord. Our place in Shinshu is going to be assigned to the Mongolian lord. Think about it, this Mengyuan person kills people at every turn, who is not afraid. You have heard of Changzhou, Changzhou people did not listen to the Mongols, and the Mongols were angry, so they killed more than 100,000 people in Changzhou Hecheng. The Mongols also put the dead in a pot to boil oil and make it to light the lamp at night. ”

"Ahh

In the hall, Zhao Mengchen's father and daughter looked at each other, and their faces sank. Changzhou was slaughtered, and Zhao Mengchen naturally knew about it. Although there are things like boiling oil with people, there are some discrepancies. When the Mongols attacked the city of Changzhou, they captured the surrounding people to fill the trenches and killed them, and threw the oil into the city as a fire attack weapon.

"No, the Mongolian master is so bad, he can't hide, and there are still people begging them to come?" After a long time, some people questioned.

"Hmph, don't ask what to do. If they don't ask for it, the Mongols will kill people when they get angry, and then they will kill no one in the whole place. If you ask for it, it might be better. Besides, those lords in the state capital, who please the Mongols, are not the same officials. How can the lives of ordinary people be seen by them. ”

"Alas, it's just that we people are suffering. It's fate! Everyone was so shocked that they forgot that they couldn't find a job at the moment and that they had no life.

At this moment, a group of young people lined up on the street, about thirty or forty people, lined up in three columns, more than ten people in front of them wore inspection robes, when the first young man of about twenty years old, medium stature, well-proportioned, not very strong, but very energetic, wearing soap-colored robes, while leading the way, and shouting trumpets, the trumpets were very strange.

"All of them, to the beat. One, two, one, one, two, two. Let's go, go back and have fish and meat! One, two, one....." The young man shouted.

Hearing that there are fish and meat, the young people are even more energetic. Those who walked faster slowed down slightly, those who walked slower quickened their pace, and the team became more neat. Many people shouted "one-two-one, one-two-one..."

"Okay, that's it, all cheer up. One-two-one,..."

"This is ......" Everyone in the shed got up and came out of the shed, stood on the side of the street to watch, and heard the movement outside, Zhao Mengchen and his daughter also walked out of the hall to watch with a few men in black.

"Those are the newly formed patrol security team, and the current one is Chen Yuan, the loser of the Chen family." A local whispered.

The procession opened with neat footsteps, and the young man at the head nodded enthusiastically to the people on the street as he walked.

"Chen's inspection is mighty. Chen's patrol is mighty! "There were a lot of children on the side of the street who were frolicking and shouting.

"Thank you, thank you for your support. In the afternoon, I went to the regiment headquarters to eat candy. Seeing many children screaming and seeing the excitement increasing, Inspector Chen waved his hand, and the team slowed down.

"Okay, let's walk slowly. Come, let's sing a song, and the inspectors must keep in mind... Ready, go! ”

"The patrol soldiers must be firmly planned, and the three major disciplines and eight points of attention must be paid attention to..." Dozens of people suddenly sang in unison as they walked, and everyone was stunned, and the children listened to it even more excitedly, and shouted even more vigorously.

When he came to the shed, he saw a few horses tied to the side of the shed at a glance, Chen Inspector's eyes lit up, and he gave an order to a man on the side, and the team was still lined up neatly, roaring strange songs, and slowly moving forward. Inspector Chen walked to the side of the team and kept signaling to everyone on the street.

Zhao Mengchen couldn't help frowning, Jiuniang was very interesting.

"The inspection is mighty, the inspection is mighty." Shi Dongjia on the side of the shed also screamed somehow. Inspector Chen smiled, gave an order to the strong man, and asked him to go back with the team, and he took a few people and walked towards the bamboo shed.

"Thank you, fathers, for joining us. Thank you Shi Xianggong for your support. Inspector Chen approached everyone and bowed to everyone.

"The inspection is polite." Although he was a worthless loser who had just been said to be worthless, he was the leader of the estuary in the end. How dare the crowd take it big, and they salute in disorder.

Inspector Chen smiled, turned his gaze to Shi Xianggong, and said, "It turns out that Shi Xianggong is here." A few days ago, I wanted to have a meeting with Shi Xianggong and ask Shi Xianggong for some lessons. ”

"The inspection is polite, the small ones are sparse and shallow, how can they be worth the inspection and teaching." Shi Dongjia said humbly.

"Hehe, Shi Xianggong is too humble. In this estuary, Shi Xianggong's talent and learning are well known. Let's talk about this when we get a chance. Inspector Chen said with a smile, then looked at the sturdy man standing on the side, and greeted with a smile: "Yo, Beidi Yankee, have you eaten?" ”

"There is not a single merchant on this dock, where did the Northland Yankee hum.

"Oh, I didn't eat either. It's rare to get together, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, go, today I'll be the east, Shi Xianggong, Beidiyan, let's go in and eat some together. ”

"No merit is not realized, the inspection adults and nobles are invited, and the villains can't afford to eat." The Northlander was stunned for a moment and refused.

"What nobles are not nobles. also has a mouth, and he is hungry and panicked if he doesn't eat a meal. Inspector Chen said with a smile.

"You Northlander, why are you so ignorant! The inspection is sincere, what are you still pretending to do? At some point, the guy in the store stepped forward with a smile and pushed the Northlander. Maybe his stomach is not angry, the Northland guy said, and under the push of the guy, his footsteps still unconsciously walked into the hall.

"Inspection, please come in." The man was smiling all over his face, and he wanted to bow down to the ground.

"Hehe, you're welcome. Shi Xianggong, please first. Inspector Chen humbly gave way to Shi Dongjiadao.

"It's better to inspect first, please."

"Shi Xianggong first." …

"Hmph, fishy!" The two humbled each other in front of the door, annoying Jiu Niang and others who wanted to enter the hall behind, and Jiu Niang scolded in the back.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Inspector Chen turned around and bowed to Zhao Mengchen's father and daughter behind him, and then stepped aside with Shi Dongjia, saying, "Lady first." Everybody, please come in. ”

Jiuniang snorted, and when she entered the hall, Zhao Mengchen smiled kindly at Chen Yuan, and entered the hall behind her daughter.

"Man, I'm having a treat today, the people outside the shed, everyone is full of soup and cakes." Looking at the group of pickers and idlers outside the shed, Inspector Chen instructed the guys.

"Patrol mighty!"

"Patrol magnificent!"

"Thank you, Inspector!" ……

Hearing that there was rice to eat, everyone outside the shed thanked them and kept calling.

Inspector Chen smiled, arched his hand to everyone, and did not give in to Shi Dongjia, and the two entered the hall together. After entering the hall, he didn't talk much about etiquette, and sat down around a table with Shi Dongjia, Beidi Yan and two relatives, adjacent to Zhao Mengchen's father and daughter.
