Chapter 323: Trouble Under Your Nose
Originally, when they first entered the city, the officers and soldiers were still somewhat restrained, but when the news of the guerrilla order to cut off their heads came out, the officers and soldiers spread out and directly became bandits dressed in official bodies, no longer under the control of the officials, and began to burn, kill and loot one after another.
The behavior of the soldiers was so bad, but Liu Guerrilla and his officers still did not have the slightest restraint, and after sending people to guard the city gate, he couldn't wait to join the ranks.
The city gate was blocked in order to prevent people from entering and leaving, so as to facilitate the looting of the officers and soldiers below, and in the blink of an eye, the entire new city was filled with all kinds of screams and wails, and it became a hell on earth.
At first, the county magistrate of Xincheng was paralyzed in the county office, and the soldiers guarding the door like him were also relieved, thinking that they were scared stupid.
Since the door of the yamen was open all day long, the county magistrates and the head catchers inside could see many frightened men and women running to the door outside.
"Lord of the county order, the villain's whole family was killed by these thousand knives..."
Before he finished saying this, the magistrate saw that the man was hacked to death by the officers and soldiers who chased after him at the entrance of the county yakou, and another officer and soldier smiled lewdly and grabbed a woman, and directly did that obscene act in front of the county yamen, completely treating the officials in the yamen as decorations.
The magistrate and the others witnessed the whole process of the officers and soldiers' violence, and when the other party left with their pants contented, someone came to the door tremblingly and wanted to drag the woman in.
"Get out, you dog officers, dog officers, !!"
At this time, the woman pushed away the clerk as if she was crazy, and died on the pillar of the gate of the Xincheng County Government with a "bump", and the clerk who stepped forward was pushed to the ground, speechless in shock, and couldn't care much when she heard the footsteps outside, and immediately retreated in a hurry.
Although the people who came to the yamen on errands during the day were very worried about the safety of their wives and daughters at home, no one dared to step out of the yamen's gate, and many people were already retching.
Xincheng Zhixian smelled the smell that was gradually becoming fishy in the air, and he didn't know what to think, so he walked to the door and said to several officers and soldiers guarding outside.
"This official is the magistrate of Xincheng, and it is already inconvenient in the city at this time, let me out of the city!"
A few soldiers in front of the door were eager to try outside, and they couldn't go out to be happy together at such a good time, and they were always scratching their ears and cheeks unhappy.
This county commander has been frightened stupidly, and it is understandable that he is so knowledgeable at the moment, these soldiers were bent on going out to find a woman to have a good time, and they let it go without much thought.
No matter how rampant these soldiers are, no matter how small the rank is, they still don't dare to do anything to the dignified court officials, and after the county magistrate of Xincheng County came out of the county office, he got on the ground with a bad horse and went straight to the north city gate.
Of course, when the magistrate saw an even more tragic scene along the way, his expression had become a little frightened, and he ignored the soldiers who showed off his might, and the people who asked him for help also turned a blind eye, and only wanted to get out of the city.
When he arrived at the gate of the city, he was really intercepted by a general with several officers and soldiers.
The magistrate of Xincheng gave the county a few taels of silver and said that he was going to the old house nearby to take refuge, and weighed the amount of silver in his hand, and when he saw this magistrate, he was so frightened that he just laughed and waved his hand.
After the county went out of the city, he went straight to the north, and heard that not long ago, Kaifeng City had just had an army of more than 10,000 people stationed in it, and the leader was the general soldier surnamed Wang.
He was going to Kaifeng City to find the prefect to complain, and find the general soldier to deal with these soldiers and thieves who plagued the people.
However, this horse was an inferior horse, and it ran for about ten miles, and someone who was fluttering and fluttering behind chased after it, but it was a few horseback riders who realized it later.
The distance is getting closer and closer, and these people surrounded the Xincheng County Order, and the guerrilla Ding led by him said with a smile:
"General Liu is afraid that the county master will encounter a thief halfway, think it's better to stay in the city, you better go back with us and stay!"
Xincheng County Ling is not a fool, and finally escaped from the land of right and wrong, and the guerrilla surnamed Liu probably figured out his own idea before sending his family to chase him, let him go back to the city, and he didn't go back if he was killed.
This magistrate didn't listen to any persuasion, he just wanted to shoot the horse and gallop wildly, and a few family members behind him were not afraid of not being able to catch up with them on good horses, and followed slowly behind to promote the narrow road:
"Lord Zhixian, our official has something to say, saying that if you don't go back, you will be tied back."
Speaking of this, although the officer who spoke was still pleasant, it was obvious that someone was already in a hurry, drew his knife and gun and prepared to kill the horse, and forcibly took the person back.
At this time, a group of people came from afar, about a dozen.
These people looked much more formal, all of them were dressed in fine armor, and came here with shining scimitars, and the officer at the head took a look, and directly ordered everyone to be surrounded, and then he asked:
"What's going on?"
Those few family members may have been arrogant, so they didn't answer, but snorted coldly:
"Uncles chase fugitives, get away from each other, lest the uncle take you back to the city!"
The sentry officer of the Shandong Army changed his face and shouted:
"Presumptuous!"
At this time, the Xincheng County Commander also knew that most of the people who came were the soldiers and horses of the general soldiers of the King of Kaifeng City, and this might be his last chance, so he didn't even care about the horse, and directly staggered off the horse and ran to the front.
"This official is the county commander of Xincheng, these soldiers and thieves are a disaster for the place, and they kill innocents indiscriminately in the city, and you must be the master of the people!"
Hearing this, those family members knew that they could not do anything, so they turned their horses and fled.
Nodding, the sentry officer said:
"Chase, don't let any of them go!"
Although the horses of these horsemen were good, the mounts of the Shandong military sentry were all Mongolian horses that Fan Ruohai bought at a high price in the border town, and they were soon caught up and killed one by one.
However, the sentry cavalry could not trust this person with an untidy face, the magistrate was too hasty when he left, and there was no big seal on his body, so no matter how he promised, he could not gain the absolute trust of these sentry horses.
Back in Kaifeng City, the sentinel directly handed over the person to the Kaifeng Mansion, even if this person is really the magistrate, let them be the civil official to deal with it.
When the magistrate of Xincheng entered the Kaifeng Mansion, his clothes were already a little torn, and he thanked the sentry officer, and he was about to meet the Kaifeng prefect non-stop, saying that it was the place where the guerrillas surnamed Liu led the soldiers to make trouble.
But the prefect of Kaifeng had long been frightened by Wang Zheng's methods and didn't dare to ask anything, and he agreed to meet because he was annoyed by the county, and when he heard that it was actually a matter of chaos between the officials and the army, he left angrily.
At present, Henan is in chaos, and officers and soldiers from all walks of life are causing trouble everywhere, even if such a thing is really done, what can he do if he has no soldiers and no power, can he be a prefect who has no soldiers and no power, can it be that the emperor sued the emperor, don't be funny.
Besides, isn't your county order not very good, the county magistrate has not been burned down, the big things have turned into small things, and the small things have been turned into small things, just turn a blind eye and forget it, the injustices in the world are happening every day, where can he, the small prefect of Kaifeng, manage it.
What's more, the prefect also felt that this county order was too ignorant of current affairs, and he didn't see that there was a bigger one living here in Kaifeng Mansion, and the Shandong army of nearly 20,000 people was not leaving, and the Kaifeng Mansion couldn't manage it itself, so where would it take care of anything else.
Therefore, no matter what kind of kowtow request the county magistrate of the new city was, the Kaifeng government government ignored it, and finally simply let the government officials blast this county order out of the lobby.
