Chapter 206: The People Make Trouble
A bright moon crosses the sky, and the moonlight is soft, sprinkling a cold light.
On the ground shrouded in the soft moonlight, there were figures of longing, countless people hunched over, rummaging something on the ground, and from time to time, there would be quarrels, and some people even fought.
"Mine, it's mine, don't rob it!"
"What's the noise, there are corpses everywhere on this road, there is no place in this area, don't you know how to change places, idiot, I don't know how to work!"
"That's right, what gun to grab, this is what I found out first, whoever robs me, I fight with whom!"
"Put your mother's shit, Lao Tzu grabbed the leg first, you just caught it!"
"Besides, let's say that Lao Tzu stabbed you to death!"
A succession of disputes erupted in the open and vast land.
However, this was only a small episode, and soon, the people who were staring at each other and arguing with each other continued to dig up the corpses, constantly searching for the corpses left on the road, and when they found the corpses, they quickly cut off their heads and put them neatly into their own pockets.
The night breeze blew, slightly chilling.
The people who were sweating profusely were hammered by the cold wind, and they couldn't help but shiver.
"Whew!!"
In the mountains and forests in the distance, there were bursts of wolf howls.
In this situation, some timid people are afraid in their hearts and feel uneasy in their hearts.
"It's not good for us to come out at night to steal the corpse, besides, these people are all villagers, and they don't respect the dead, just in case, I said in case, we encountered something unclean on the night road home, then it will be a disaster!"
"Bah, bah, bah, keep your mouth clean!"
"Your kid has no less than ten heads in his pocket, this is 100,000 yuan, if you don't want it, give it to me!"
", it took me more than half the night to get it!"
"Since you don't hand over your head, don't chirp crookedly, if you get money, you have to fart on your mouth, and you will be irritable when you listen to it!"
The people of the crowd were uneasy in their hearts, but when they thought of a string of five-baht coins, they were instantly overwhelmed by interests, and they only thought about cutting off their heads to make money, and the rest were temporarily left behind.
A headless corpse, exposed to the ground.
The people, who did not want to cut off their heads again, gathered together and rested on the earth.
"Brothers, let's pile up the corpses, and there will be less fire, so as not to leave evidence!"
In the crowd, someone shouted loudly.
"Yes, burning the body is also a respect for the dead!"
Countless people responded to the peace, and also found a high-sounding reason, and those who did not intend to harvest their heads again began to move the headless corpses left on the road, piled up all the corpses together, found dry grass and dead branches and leaves, and lit a fire, and at night, the red fire rose to the sky, and the fiery red pillar of light stood in the night, which was magnificent.
The corpses were burning under the dry grass and dead branches, and soon followed the flames, crackling.
Thick smoke rose into the sky, filling the sky.
After a while, piles of corpses piled up and ignited one after another.
Ten miles of blood, ten miles of fire, ten miles of silent crying.
The dead soldier turned into a puddle of ashes, but it was a headless corpse, and after a night, except for the purple-brown blood stains that had long dried up, and the piles of ashes left behind, there were no other corpses left, and occasionally encountered a corpse in the forest, all of which were taken away from their heads.
……
Xiu County, County Ya.
Outside the gate, there was a commotion.
"Hurry up and open the door, hurry up and open the door, we want money, we want money, this is an order from Lord Yuan, a head is 10,000 yuan, we are here to receive money, hurry up and open the door!"
"That's it, that's it, open the door, we're going to get the money!"
"I want to get the money!! ,! ”
The noise came and went, resounding inside and outside the county office.
At the beginning, more than a dozen people received money, but each of them had at least ten heads in their hands, and one person took away 100,000 yuan, or even hundreds of thousands of money.
Ten people came down, and the millions of dollars in the county government's inventory were gone, and the speed of consumption was staggering.
If this continues, the county government's finances will collapse immediately.
The county magistrate of Xiu County was suspicious and felt that something was wrong, but the people who came to receive the money with their heads said that it was left behind by the battle between the Jizhou army and the Yuan army, and they were the corpses they had grabbed on the battlefield.
It was reasonable for them to snatch their heads, and they did not disobey Yuan Shao's orders.
As a result, the prefectural magistrate had to give money.
The county magistrate knew that he couldn't give one person to one person, otherwise in one day, there would be no money left in the county government's inventory, so he immediately made a decision and ordered: "In view of the limited finances of the county government, it is impossible to provide more money, and the quota for a day is limited to one hundred heads, until the end of the day!" ”
When this order was given, many people immediately wilted, and they were able to receive the money, but they did not say anything.
However, the people of the big families and the noble families disagreed.
A hundred heads a day, many people have four or five heads on their hands, or even more.
Based on the calculation that a person has five heads, on average, there are about 20 people a day, but most of the time, it is impossible for 20 people to receive money, after all, many people have more than four or five heads, however, the people who need to receive money are hundreds.
The people in the big family are all human spirits, and when they heard this tone, they knew that it was delaying time, and immediately made a fuss.
"Brothers, Xiu County is a big county, and the money in the treasury is no less than 10,000,000 yuan, and the county order is a lie to us!"
"A head is 10,000 yuan, a hundred heads are only 1 million yuan, we only have more than a thousand heads in our hands, and the money consumed is only tens of millions of dollars, which has no impact on the county government!"
"Rush in and ask for justice from the county order!"
"Yes, yes, we have to seek justice, we can't be deceived by the county order!"
The crowd outside the county government was boiling again, and countless people roared to the sky, and the county magistrate in the county government got the news, with a headache on his face, and had already greeted the ancestor of Guo Tu who gave advice to Yuan Shao countless times.
This bad plan made him almost afraid to go out to meet people.
"Hit, kill these people who stop us!"
In the crowd outside the county office, someone suddenly took a stone and threw it at the official standing guard at the gate.
Immediately, cabbage and eggs flew in the air and went straight to the officials.
Dense stones, rotten vegetables, radishes, etc. fell at the gate of the county government, smashing the officials to retreat one after another, and at this time, the people pressed step by step, rushing inside, and quickly broke through the gate of the county government.
"My lord, it's not good, Diao Min rushed in!"
The official yelled, looking embarrassed.
When the county commander saw this scene, he shivered with fright, and he immediately ordered the newly appointed county lieutenant to leave through the back door to mobilize the soldiers in the city to come to the rescue.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, it's easy to talk together!"
In the heart of the prefectural order, there is a constant prayer.
The people rushed into the courtyard outside the county government hall, and when they saw the county order standing motionless, they all stopped, and their eyes fell on the county order's body, their eyes were fierce, and they wanted to kill the county order.
"My lord, we must give money today, if we don't give it, we will never give up!"
In the crowd, there was a loud roar,
