The head of the household is a single family, and the evil is done by four soldiers and ruffians. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It can be seen that the head of the house should have been relatively solid in the past, the pillars of the house were more than a foot in size, it was a tiled house with five pillars and four hangings, there were four or five houses in a row, forty or fifty people shouted to extinguish the fire, and in front of the earthen dam in front of the courtyard stood forty or fifty farmers with hoes, steel drills, and axes, and on the other side were four soldiers and ruffians.
After seeing Guo Chonglie and others arrive, the surrounding people panicked, if these more than 30 soldiers joined the battle group, then the difference in strength was huge, and the peasants did not have an advantage at all.
It turned out that these soldiers deserted, thinking of catching two chickens or something in the village, but fortunately they were fighting at night, but who expected to be discovered, they actually played tricks on the spot and burned down a house.
Seeing that it was the soldiers and horses of the camp, Guo Chonglie hurriedly mediated, hoping that everyone could resolve the dispute, and the farmers saw that they had gathered so many soldiers, and now the soldiers were in chaos, everyone wanted to cry without tears, and they were ready to pack up their farm tools and leave.
Yang Xuan didn't see it that way, staring at Guo Chonglie, who was mediating, and suddenly his face sank, and he asked people to tie up these four ruffians.
Just as he was about to explain, Yang Xuan raised his hand to stop the other party and said with a smile: "Guo Zongqi, I got a report yesterday that there were a few local thugs dressed as our officers and soldiers, burning, killing and looting the people.
Guo Zongqi, take a look, are these people local thugs in makeup? ā
Guo Chonglie was shocked, looked at Yang Xuan, and leaned closer and said, "Mr. Bai, this, this is under the account of Yu Qian, this should be right." ā
Yang Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Oh, since Guo Zongqi has confirmed that he is a local thug pretending to be an official soldier, where is the left and right, tie me up." ā
Seeing Yang Xuan's iron heart to death, everyone was terrified, and one of the soldiers had a hideous face, pulled out his sword and said: "Yang Xuan Yang Bodhisattva, Lao Tzu just wanted to come out and catch two chickens to eat, you also know that there has been no military salary for two months, and everyone has faded out of the birds one by one."
Who would have thought that these people would be so ignorant and dare to do it, Lao Tzu was angry and set a fire.
Why, if you want to tie up Lao Tzu, you have the ability to see the real chapter with a real knife and a real gun, and you have the ability to arrest your grandfather, there are so many, what's the use? ā
As expected, the arrears of salaries in the army not only affected the morale of the army, but also forced some soldiers to go out to loot, although he knew that what he said was true, but the official army was an official army after all, and Yang Xuan could not tolerate the official army going out to loot.
Yang Xuan's black face sank, and he said angrily: "You local tyrant still want to pretend to be an official soldier, how can you have the courage to rob the people, have the courage to set fires, and don't have the courage to admit that you are a local tyrant?"
The first small flag is prepared, end the gun, aim, and release. ā
Wang Ergou thought that he was a practitioner, and he seemed quite disdainful, but now after seeing the musket aiming, he was in a big mess, and hurriedly pounced over, preparing for hand-to-hand combat.
But now it's too late, before coming, everyone had already loaded the ammunition and lit the fire rope, and now listening to Yang Xuan's order, the eleven soldiers of the 1st small flag raised their bird guns and took aim, and after hearing the release, they all knocked on the trigger.
Five or six steps away, Wang Ergou was shot several times, and the whole person was knocked to the ground alive, while his face and body were full of blood holes.
Seeing Wang Ergou's hideous face, his hands clenching the hilt of the knife, and his whole body exuding a terrifying and bloody smell, Yang Xuan felt that his brain was numb, his mind was blank, and he was very uncomfortable.
He touched his nose to block the smell of blood, and grinned, hoping to make his expression more natural, and slowly the expressions of the people around him were clearly visible, and the screams of women and girls became more and more clear.
Forcibly suppressing the stomach water that came up, he stared at the other three soldiers who were frightened and looked at his soldiers with terrifying eyes, and said to Guo Chonglie on his side: "Tie up these three local tyrants, each with twenty military whips, and then bring them back to the army and hand them over to the master of the General Mansion for interrogation, so as to find out the details of the local tyrants." ā
Guo Chonglie hurriedly nodded and agreed, if he still thought that he was a practitioner at the beginning, ordinary three or five soldiers were not opponents, but the scene just now was too terrifying, more than a dozen birds were released together, and the other party had no power to fight back at all, and the whole person was beaten into a hornet's nest and fell to the ground stiffly, before everyone could react, now the ground was full of blood, and he was already dead of anger.
Although the rumors of bribery have been heard from time to time, there is no doubt that Yang Xuan has a hand in training soldiers and horses, just now Wang Ergou rushed to five or six steps in front of him, and the formation of the musket team was not messy in the slightest, and the eleven spears were all famous, and basically all of them hit the head and chest.
Gasping for air, Guo Chonglie tied up three other startled soldiers with a wave of his hand, and they were stripped naked and pressed on top of the stool one by one, and the soldiers behind him were beating him with leather whips.
At this time, Yang Xuan looked at the frightened people, and arched his hand: "Fellow villagers, in Xia Yang Xuan, like a county person, the deputy list of the current department, is now added to the hundred presidents."
Folks, everyone was frightened just now. ā
When everyone heard this, it turned out to be the old man of the county, and they were grateful and wept one by one, and they knelt down one after another.
Looking at everyone, Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Folks, the official army came to rescue everyone this time, and the official army came to fight the local tyrants this time."
The local thugs do evil and do all kinds of evil, just like these local thugs pretending to be officials and soldiers, weren't they executed on the spot by us? ā
Everyone was puzzled, and a boy in his fifties arched his hand and said, "Senior brother, this, this, are these people local tyrants?" ā
The other party is an old boy who doesn't even have a show, Yang Xuan is a deputy leader, although he is older, he still respects the senior brother according to the rules.
Yang Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course, everyone think about it, how can the official army rob the people if they eat the imperial grain?"
Only local tyrants will rob the people, no matter who it is, we who dare to rob the people will be beaten as local tyrants, everyone says okay? ā
Although everyone was puzzled, the old man said so, of course.
In the feudal society, there are very few high school scholars in each county, and there are only a few people in each county.
After such a delay, when the sun set, he caught up with the large group of people, and the other ministries and divisions were camping, and Yang Xuan asked people to set up camp behind the division, under a hillside.
On the one hand, they asked everyone to dig trenches and arrange defenses, and on the other hand, they brought three soldiers and ruffians who were beaten to a bloody blur to the courtyard of the general Wang Chaoyang.
Every time he set up camp, the general Wang Chaoyang would choose a large courtyard with good feng shui, drive the master to the side to live, and then occupy the magpie's nest to live, so that he could live a better life.
After hearing that Yang Xuan had arrived, Master Zhu hurriedly ran out to report the news, causing Yang Xuan to stuff a silver ticket of two taels to express his gratitude.
After seeing the ceremony, he looked at Yu Tianji, the head of the thousand on the opposite side, and said: "Yu Qian is always here, great, this time I met four local thugs on the road pretending to be soldiers under the thousand general account.
The last general wanted to stop and let the brother of the musket flag draw his gun to scare the other party, but who expected that the other party was ready to fight desperately when he saw that his whereabouts were exposed, and the brother of the musket flag accidentally shot him dead on the spot. ā
Yu Tianji was shocked, pointed at Yang Xuan and said, "Yang Xuan, you, you boast that you are from a deputy list, do you have any superiors and subordinates?"
I'm President Qian, you're just a little President Bai, you, how can you openly kill my subordinates?"
Yang Xuan looked quite innocent, and spread his hands and said: "Mr. Yu Qian, this, this is not right, these local thugs stole people's chickens on the spot, and after the matter was exposed, they even set fire to the murder, Yu Qianzong was very strict with the army, and the generals also repeatedly restrained everyone.
Let's talk about it, what are these thieves, arsonists, not local tyrants? ā
Yu Tianji was quite dissatisfied, and arched his hand to Wang Chaoyang and said, "General, it's not right for brothers to steal.
But now that they have been in arrears for more than two months, the brothers have been complaining bitterly, and Yang Xuan has now openly shot and killed our soldiers, which has aroused public indignation.
As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, Yang Xuan is beating a dog here, and it is clearly beating my brother's face. ā
Wang Chaoyang was quite embarrassed, this Yu Tianji was his own general, and he couldn't be offended, while Yang Xuan was a local squire, and he had an old relationship with the governor, so he couldn't be offended.
After thinking about it, Wang Chaoyang decided to be a peacemaker, glared at Yang Xuan and said: "Yang Xuan Yang Zixiu, you, you're too reckless, this Wang Ergou is under Yu Qian's headquarters, why don't you catch it and ask, just kill it on the spot, it's too reckless."
Despite this, it is still necessary to maintain the reputation of the camp, so let's do it, Mr. Yang Bai, you take out ten taels of silver, please treat guests, and let Mr. Yu Qian dissipate his anger? ā
Yang Xuan's whole person was enraged, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency, if you have a treat for something else, as long as your General Counsellor gives a reason, it is not a big deal."
But this thing really doesn't work, everyone think about it, our army was originally lax, if you treat yourself because of this matter, how will the soldiers treat you, and how will the people think of the general? ā
After thinking about it, Wang Chaoyang casually found other names to force him to give money, but there was no way, Yang Xuan had to take out a silver ticket of ten taels of silver, and then returned to the bureau angrily.
