Chapter 15: The head of the Fang family revolted

Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang East Road, Taizhou Road, Huangyan Prefecture.

When there is no wind in the sea, the waves are calm.

Those who don't have enough to eat don't have time to take care of the deep and stunning scenery of the sea.

In all dynasties, the profits of salt were at the top of all ranks, and the illegal salt dealers who defy the law have been repeatedly banned.

At the beginning of the unification of the whole country in the Yuan Dynasty, many people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were involved in the production and sale of smuggled salt, and the government captured "5,000 salt apprentices" in Shanghai County of Songjiang Prefecture alone.

With the increasing corruption of the government and the deterioration of the people's living conditions, all localities, especially along the rivers and seas, are even more private and public.

At this moment, in a salt-boiling pavilion in Huangyan Prefecture, a man with a long body and a black face carried two bags of salt to the official ship.

The black-faced man's name is Fang Guozhen, and his family has lived along the coast for generations, making a career as a tenant farmer and selling smuggled salt at sea.

Of the five brothers in this generation, Fang Guozhen is the third in line, and his mind is very smart, and he learned that the government had just captured a large amount of illegal salt in Huaidong a few days ago, so he didn't dare to take risks and continue to take risks, so he tried to bribe the pavilion chief of the government-run salt industry, and went to the pavilion to help the old men in the court to do things, and the safety was also more guaranteed.

"Third brother, it's not good!." Old Sifang Guoying came from afar and shouted loudly.

"What's the fuss, is the sky falling? Frizzy. ”

"Third brother, if you don't make up your mind, the sky will really fall!"

Seeing that the fourth brother was so anxious, Fang Guozhen's heart sank, and he hurriedly put down the salt bag, "You make it clear, what's going on?" ”

"Just now, Wang Mazi went to the house again to make a mess, and the eldest brother and second brother couldn't bear it, so they beat up the splash, and the splash was beaten, and he turned his head and ran to report to the official that our Fang family is the same party of Haikou Cai Chaotou!"

Wang Mazi is a well-known ruffian hooligan, and because the Fang family disdains him, he gradually has a grudge, and picks them to harass their family members when they work during the day.

"How do you know he's gone to the government?".

"My friend is on an errand in the county office, and he just secretly sent a message to me, Wang Mazi is in the county office!" The more the fourth brother spoke, the more anxious he became, and wiped the sweat on his face and neck.

Old Wufang Guomin also rushed over when he heard the sound, "Although those trappers are greedy for money, they won't condemn us without evidence, right?" ”

"You guys calm down first, old five, although they have no evidence, but they have always been helpless against that Cai mess, in order to cope with the errand, at this moment, with that Wang Mazi's false accusation, they will definitely arrest us for the crime."

A cold color flashed in Fang Guozhen's eyes, this is too much of a deception, disturbing my family five times, and now he is trying to destroy our family!

After hearing this, the fifth child's expression gradually became solemn, and the fourth child was even more anxious, wiping the sweat on his face from the left and the right.

"Listen to me, since he said that we colluded with Haikou, I think it is better to really learn that Cai Chaotou and become Haikou. We tried to hijack these official ships, robbed the official goods, and then fled to the sea, and the county government could not do anything about us. ”

"Third brother, this is a rebellion, and if you are caught, you will lose your head!" The fourth said with a trill.

Fang Guozhen snorted coldly and scolded loudly: "Confused! If we just don't rebel, won't our heads move? Will those bastards do things and leave us alive! Listen to me, maybe there is a glimmer of life. ”

The fourth brother gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Then I'll listen to the third brother, our brothers live and die together." ”

"That's what it looks like!" Fang Guozhen nodded to the fourth brother, and then said: "Fifth brother, the second brother is well-connected, and you can speak well, you go and tell the second brother the news, and then work with the second brother to recruit more people to act with us, just tell them that the thief has framed them together, and you can gather as many people as you can. ”

"Third brother, what about me?"

"You go home now and go to the eldest brother, take out all the valuable things in the house with him, and then go to the fishermen, if you can change a few fishing boats, you can change a few fishing boats, and then let your family get on the boat, you and your eldest brother will take the family to escape to the sea first, if we can succeed, we will rob the official ship to find you, if not, you will escape as far away as possible."

After Fang Guozhen instructed the two brothers in some details of their actions, the three brothers immediately went their separate ways.

Do you want my life?

Then I'll slaughter you dog thing first!

Fang Guozhen took a dagger and wrapped it in a cloth, pinned it behind his waist, and strode towards the county office.

……

seemed to be quite satisfied with his plan, Wang Mazi, who was the first to sue the wicked, walked out of the county office with a proud face and hummed a small song.

With a "poof", a dagger was quietly inserted into his lower back, Wang Mazi just wanted to shout, but the dagger was pulled out again, and blood splashed Fang Guozhen's body.

"No matter how cunning you are, you can't imagine that I will slaughter you at the yamen, right?" Fang Guozhen's deep voice announced his death sentence.

Thinking of all the bad things that this wicked person did to harm the township in the past, Fang Guozhen felt that one knife was a bit less, so he kicked him to the ground, sat on him, and stabbed him three times with a knife in his hand, Wang Mazi twitched twice and then completely lost his breath......

Fang Guozhen looked in the direction of the county government, since you don't plan to give me a way to live, then you don't want to have good fruits to eat!

In front of the solemn yamen, the blood from the corpse gradually stained the floor tiles.

At the same time, in the county government office with a strict appearance, several trappers gathered together, and their lazy appearance was no different from that of the market.

"The above has been urging us to arrest that Cai Chaotou, but that person is ruthless and watery, how can we catch him? At this time, regardless of whether Fang Guozhen colluded with Haikou or not, he copied his house first, and then said, the copied silver was copied by our brothers to drink! The head catcher suggested with a smile.

"The leader is right, is it true that we are really going to the sea to die? If you want to blame it, blame this surnamed Fang's bad life and help us withstand a disaster. ”

"Alas, the monthly food and silver can only barely feed our families, and we have to be called and drunk by those lustful people, and in the end we have become dogs for the fish and meat people." A slightly older trapper sighed.

"Can you say a few words of nonsense, if you want to pretend to be high, you can pretend to be high, and I still have to rely on me to feed a few mouths in my house."

A group of people caught the fast and jokingly announced the life and death of the Fang family.

"Not good!"

As soon as the head catcher who walked in the front walked out of the gate of the county office, he saw the corpse that fell in front of the county office, and he was extremely shocked!

Is it true that the people of this Fang family are reversed? How dare you kill someone in front of the yamen!

"Since they dare to attack in front of the yamen, it seems that they may really want to rebel! Let's hurry to Fang's house to arrest someone! ”

"Chief, this group seems to be outlaws, I'......m afraid a few of us will go," a catcher reminded the headhunter.

The head catcher understood what he meant, "There is really no need to risk the lives of a few of us, you carry this corpse in first, and then make plans after you have explored the details of the Fang family." ”

For a while, the county government was in a mess, and a few children passing by sang folk songs and played, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the people are few and public." How about hitting three times a day, and not treating it back? ”

……

Among the five brothers, the old three Fang Guozhen has the most flexible mind, and the major affairs in the family have always been decided by him, the eldest brother Fang Guoxin received the news from the fourth child, and hurriedly set off to act according to the plan, and the family knew that the situation was urgent, and they also hurriedly obeyed Fang Guoxin's orders.

The fifth brother found the second brother Fang Guozhang to explain the reason, and the second brother acted decisively, and immediately took the fifth brother to the field, gathered a group of tenants who were good friends with him, and persuaded them to act together.

"No, second brother, it's too slow, it's too late."

The second child nodded, since this is the case, then it can only be resigned to fate, "Fifth brother, let's act separately, how to exaggerate and say, if you are willing to rebel together, you will gather in the pavilion." ”

"That's the only way to do it."

On weekdays, whether it is a merchant or a farmer, life is very difficult, at this moment I heard that the yamen is coming to arrest people, although it is not clear why, but when has the government been oppressing the people for so many years?

For a while, the coastal people were indignant, and they responded to the Fang family's proposal, and each family packed their bags and gathered in the pavilion.

Fang Guozhen killed Wang Mazi, although he was angry, he was also frightened, and hurriedly ran back to the pavilion to wait for news.

At the end of the Shen period, the second and fifth children gathered more than 200 people, and they all rushed to the pavilion with pickaxes, hoes and other farm tools at home.

Fang Guozhen saw that so many people came, so he had a plan, called the fifth child, and gave him an order.

The fifth child laughed when he heard this, "Third brother's clever plan!" "Go and do what you want.

Fang Guozhen and the second brother gathered together and led everyone to rush onto the official ship, the guards guarding the pavilion had never seen this kind of battle, and they had already run away in a panic, and the official ship was even more defenseless, Fang Guozhen and the others robbed several official ships without much effort.

"Oops! Now it's a big deal! "Only then did the county officials know that the matter had developed to a situation beyond their control, and they hurried to find the garrison generals.

The Mongolian generals, who were accustomed to seeing the turmoil of the people, only sent a small group of soldiers to suppress it, and when this group of people just arrived at the pavilion, hundreds of people suddenly poured in from all directions, and the leader of the generals was on the spot!

It turned out that Fang Guozhen saw that there were a lot of people who responded, so he ordered Lao Wu to shout everywhere, "Yuan Bing has come to raid everyone's house!" Only by following the rebellion can you live! ”

The people of each family spread ten, ten to hundred, and in less than half an hour, thousands of people had gathered in the pavilion!

Fang Guozhen didn't expect to be able to gather so many people, and hurriedly ordered a few brothers to do their own thing, and sent the old and weak women and children to the boat first, the boats prepared in advance were not enough at all, and the group of people plundered official ships and fishing boats along the coast, and a sizable fleet was formed in an hour!

The dozens of Yuan soldiers who rushed to suppress were swallowed up by the crowd, and they ran back to report the news, but Fang Guozhen and the others had already fled straight to the sea!

Fang Guozhen stood at the stern of the boat, looking at this large number of ships, and his originally uneasy heart suddenly had a certainty.

Since it's been reversed, it's better to do the big ticket, what bullshit court, in the future, this sea will be grandpa and my world!
