Chapter 169. Darkness under abundance
Grandpa Mao said, power comes out of the barrel of a gun! A few shots were fired behind him, and the dense crowd around him was like ants blowing up the pot, and they all ran to the back at once, followed by the lancers with bright bayonets and the war horses chased after them, and directly occupied the edge of the pit, and a few people in green clothes were forced to jump into the pit directly, and stood with the unlucky woman.
However, seeing that the dark bayonets reflected a sense of murderous intent, these guys in Tsing Yi were still so arrogant, the first guy should be a northerner, very tall, and his muscles were bulging, although he was a little embarrassed, he still shouted loudly.
"The Fan family is here to do business! Where did the barbarians come from to make trouble, don't you want to die? ”
"Huh! In broad daylight, the waves are wavering, you are bullying a weak woman here, and you are disregarding people's lives! Dare to speak out here!"
Pulling the reins of the horse to the front, Mao Jue was the first time to have such a positive image, carrying a smoking revolver, and sneering in annoyance, although he was not wearing armor this time, but a high-quality scarf and long shirt, embroidered with pine cranes, and he didn't look like an ordinary person.
But they didn't let it, and the guy was still barking like a mad dog, baring his teeth and yelling.
"This is a family affair of our Songjiang Wu family, my master Wu is the Beijing official of the Beijing Division, the Wu family disposes of domestic slaves, and you can use you as a barbarian? Get out of here, or I'll arrest you and go to the official!"
"Heh, the big officials in Beijing can take people's lives and bury them alive? Lao Tzu is still in charge of this matter, get out of Lao Tzu immediately!"
"You're fucking crazy, aren't you? Copy guys!"
It's really not afraid of death! Tilting his head, this cargo was carrying a shovel and actually came to fight Mao Jue, and couldn't help sneering, Mao Jue didn't even speak, a few pro-soldiers directly caught fire, crackling bullets hit the soles of their feet, and directly paralyzed a few Tsing Yi Hao slaves, threw the shovel, turned around and ran, while running, the goods actually turned around and scolded.
"Barbarian, you wait, our Wu family won't give up!"
With a bang, the lance collapsed directly under his feet, and the big man who was almost 1.8 meters old fell directly into a dog shit, this time he didn't dare to put a fart, he got up and staggered and ran, embarrassed like a king eight, which provoked the woolly lance to snort with disdain.
"That's the guts, Jiannu has to be caught in a fucking coat when he comes, and he dares to argue with our general!"
"Alright, hurry up and drag people out!"
Not to mention, this girl is still really beautiful, Jiangnan girl's standard melon seed face, fair skin, big eyes with flowing water, delicate nose, and a small mouth are very small, but the tears on her cheeks are mixed with dust, making it dirty, as if she was scared stupid, and she is still staring and half-buried in the soil trembling.
"Big girl, get up! My family will call the shots for you, it's okay! ”
Several pro-soldiers went down together, dragged her tied sturdy little hands, pulled them out of the soil pit, looking at this girl's little face, Mao Jue couldn't help but worry in her heart, she wouldn't be a Pan Jinlian, right? If you save a certain Rong who is easy to split, it will be really sad.
I should have asked first.
However, just when Mao Jue was thinking nonsense, the little girl seemed to come back to her senses, and she didn't wait for a few relatives to untie her, screamed, and ran towards the nearby village.
"Keep up!"
Helplessly glanced at a few useless glances, Mao Jue also turned over and jumped off the horse.
A tied girl couldn't be lost, and as soon as she entered the village, she leaned against the green willow courtyard at the entrance of the village and burst out with a terrible cry.
"Mother's !!"
followed the inflow, Mao Jue saw the center of the tutang, an old lady lying on the ground, spitting a pool of blood on the side of her mouth, lying on her, the girl struggled with the purple little hands that had been tied with hemp rope, crying darkly, Su Yi was the most soft-hearted, quickly stepped forward and quickly dragged her up, and then moved the old woman to sit up, Mao Jue angrily slapped the back of the head of the soldiers around her.
"It's not a fucking help!"
The two pro-soldiers woke up from their daze, and they also hurriedly helped and moved the old lady up, but at this time, the old lady's face was already bruised and terrible, and her body was stiff.
"Mother! It's all the piano girl who is not good! Mother, wake up! ”
The crying pear blossoms brought rain, and the girl was still arching the old lady's shoulders with her head, and the plain clothes she saw were even more heart-cut, helplessly pulling her sleeves.
"Girl, mourning! Mother you, she's gone! ”
"No!"
I really didn't expect this weak woman in Jiangnan to be so strong, while speaking, this girl actually stood up and slammed her head into the pillar next to her, only to hear a bang, this thatched hut trembled, startled Mao Jue, and hurriedly walked up and scooped people up, fortunately, being caught and buried alive consumed a lot of physical strength for this girl, and at this time, there was a bruised bag on her head, and she just knocked herself unconscious.
But things have come to this point, but it's really troublesome enough, one is dead, the other is dizzy, even if Mao Jue is a little numb, after a while, he helplessly pulled up his plain clothes and waved his hand at Mao Jue to chase flies.
"Take a few taels of silver, go out and find a coffin, and by the way, ask Lao Tzu what the hell is going on!"
"Mark and command!"
There are a lot of people around here, it seems that this girl's popularity in the village is not bad, plus Mao Jue is not stingy, two taels of silver swing, an old man in the village is a fart to contribute his longevity, the south of the Yangtze River is narrow and dense, the cemetery in the village is on the side, next to a lonely grave, several village men are helping to dig a pit, bury the old lady in.
Mao Jue finally inquired about the ins and outs of the matter, and in front of the grave, more than a dozen old men in the village shook their heads together.
"What a sin!"
This old lady of the Liu family is not the girl's mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law, a few years ago, the river was flooded, the girl's family fled to Songjiang, and she was poor, so she was married to the old lady's family as a child daughter-in-law.
Similar to all tragic stories, not every child can grow up in these years, the only seedling of the old Liu family got typhoid fever at the age of eleven, and he died, fortunately, this old lady is not as vicious as other stepmothers, and she also raises this girl as a daughter, and orphans and widows depend on each other like this.
Today's problem lies in them, the Liu family is not free, but the slave of the Wu family, a big family in Songjiang, everything they cultivate and weave has to belong to the Wu family, and they can only starve to death, and this old lady was sick a while ago, and it should be described as high blood pressure and heart disease in later generations, in order to catch medicine for the old lady, this girl secretly knitted an extra piece of cloth in the dark at night, and asked the merchant to sell a few dollars of silver, but before the medicine could be caught, the head of the Wu family was discovered.
If you break the rules of the Wu family, it will be an end, buried alive!
Those few were the Hao slaves of the Wu family just now, and they were most afraid of excitement and intimidation from heart disease, and the girl was caught and tied up by them, and the old lady didn't catch her breath, so she died like this.
"Does the government care?"
I knew that this was dark enough, but I didn't expect it to be so dark! It's really as Mr. Lu Xun said, naked people eat people, this head buries people, and Mao Jue is extremely angry and shouts, but several village elders who heard this shook their heads, and an old man with wrinkles on his face sighed and said.
"In this Xixiang, his Wu family is the law! The county magistrate of Shanghai County has to visit his Wu family first, ten miles and eight townships, either the slaves of the Wu family, or the tenants of the Wu family! I don't know how many people have violated the rules of the Wu family like this, cut off their hands, sunk the river, and buried the soil. ”
"Last year, the young master of the Wu family in Dongliu Village took a fancy to their village embroidery and wanted to marry as a concubine, but the embroidery girl had already been married, and the two eloped, and the Wu family was caught back, and the man was castrated, I don't know where to throw it, and the woman sank in the Huangpu River dipping pig cage next to Shanghai County, and the county master even went in person!"
The crutch knocked on the ground, and the old man shook his head helplessly with a sigh.
"Don't care!"
"This young master, you are a good person, this buries the old lady of the Liu family, please take Qin Niang and leave this Songjiang quickly! The Wu family, I can't afford to provoke it! ”
Seeing a large group of old men with palpitations, Mao Jue couldn't help but shake his head, no wonder Nan Ming couldn't hold it! The family is indeed resistant enough, but that's how they usually oppress the township? The government can't protect the rights and even lives of the people of Dousheng at all, in this case, Mao Jue is not willing to fight for the Ming Empire, who knows if it will be better if Jiannu comes.
In later generations, some people praised the capitalist development in Jiangnan, and some people criticized it, and Mao Jue can see that the prosperity of industry and commerce based on the slavery system is also a germ of capitalism, and it will never really grow.
This Ming Dynasty has reached this kind of procedure, and it is really terminally ill!
But just when Mao Jue was groaning, there was a sudden commotion outside the village, this Wu family's hands and eyes are all over the sky, it's really fucking right, a large group of officials with shackles and waist knives, roaring like wolves and tigers, broke over.
Listening to the sound, dozens of villagers and those old men who were watching the excitement turned around and ran away, and all shrank into their own broken grass houses. Mao Jue listened to the scolding voice, his originally gloomy face was even more stiff, Mao Jue immediately gave a military salute, and then took out the flintlock pistol wrapped on his back and shouted, more than 30 pro-soldiers were lined up in three rows, and the bayonet was murderous and arrogant.
"Listen to the murderers inside, quickly abandon their weapons and surrender, the county lord can still be lenient, otherwise, he will kill all of you!"
"Hmph, killed Lao Tzu?"
was already on fire, while sneering, while stuffing paper shell bullets into the gun, walked to the front, Mao Jue raised his hand to shoot, a few clicks, the three officials covered their thighs and calves and lay on the ground like killing pigs, blood gushed to the ground at once, looking at the muzzle of Hessen behind Mao Jue, a group of guys who bullied the soft and afraid of the hard almost ran away without being scared.
"Which of you is in charge, get out of here!"
"You, you guys, are you going to rebel? Aren't you afraid of the Nine Clans? ”
"Lao Tzu doesn't say it a second time, come on!"
Crossing Mao Jue, a group of pro-soldiers directly wanted to shoot these guys collectively, to see if they were going to move seriously, just now they were shouting that they were going to throw Mao Jue and his gang into the prison The official who was sitting at the bottom of the prison knelt on the ground, one of them had a goatee and was wearing a blue and blue uniform, and he was withdrawn by his subordinates.
This guy also knows each other, and he shuddered and came up with a big bow.
"This hero, the little ones are also acting on orders!"
"Hero, you're a!"
Just like the spy agents in the TV series dealing with the puppet army, Mao Jue went up directly with a big mouth, the head catcher who fanned was crooked, half of his face was swollen, his head staggered to the ground, and the officials in the back watched it even more directly, and they didn't dare to move.
"Listen, Lao Tzu is the deputy general of Tieyi in Dongjiang Town, Daming Dynasty, Mao Jue is also! Just now, there are more than a dozen bastards in this village, looting and killing good people! I'm about to arrest you, and let you bastards run away! Go in that direction and chase Lao Tzu! If you can't catch it back today, Lao Tzu will impeach you bandits, one or two, you have to send Lao Tzu to Liaodong and go to Jiannu as cannon fodder!"
In these years, Mao Jue has realized a truth, hard fists are Lao Tzu, otherwise he is a grandson! After being slapped in the face and listening to this sentence again, the head catcher almost didn't cry out on weekdays, they scolded and scolded people to be put in prison and killed, and for the first time, they let people use it on themselves.
This kind of momentum and such a firearm is definitely a military man, and he didn't dare to doubt Mao Jue's words at all, he didn't dare to get up when he was fanned to the ground, and he kowtowed directly to the head catcher on the spot.
"This general, the little one, the little one takes the order, the little one goes! Let's go!"
What is a tiger and a snake tail, kneeling and retreating several steps in a row, covering his swollen old face, this head catcher turned around and shouted and scolded those subordinates who knelt on the ground and did not pay attention to righteousness.
"Didn't you listen to this general! Don't fucking get up yet, chase! Chase after me!"
Pick up the unlucky ghost who had three legs pierced, like the forty thieves of Alibaba, a group of dogs wearing fast hunting clothes are babbling, and they are running to the beach to chase some unwarranted robbers.
Looking back at the village, those tenants and slaves were still cautiously watching, and for a while, the beautiful feeling of prosperity and wealth in the south of the Yangtze River was wiped out.
"Take that girl with you, let's go!"
