Chapter 0260: Everyone is a bandit

It turned out that the glove man was one of the exiles escorted by the government corps this time, but now he doesn't wear gloves. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Heh, this world is so small, what about your gloves?"

Jia Min thought this guy was quite interesting, so he teased him.

"They won't let them wear it."

The glove man smiled awkwardly.

"That's right if you don't wear it, you said you wear such a thing a day, how awkward. What is your name? ”

"Jia Qiao."

"It turns out that we are still a family, so why did you stop me in the first place? As a result, those guys were killed, right? Now that people are fine, you have been exiled? Why didn't I see you all this way? ”

On the escort road, Jia Min often went to check on the prisoners, but he didn't find Jia Qiao.

"I'm embarrassed to let the adults see it, but as soon as the adults go, I bow my head."

"You're not bad, stay well, and if you're doing well, come to me as a soldier. Xu Mingtao, this Jia Qiao is my acquaintance, and told Zhuang Tou that he was not allowed to abuse him deliberately. ”

"Yes, Commander Min."

While he was talking, a man rode a horse from the direction of Sijiazi, and when he came to him, the person who came dismounted.

"Fortunately, I saw Xu Zuoling, I was about to go to Bukui to report the news."

The person who came was one of the heads of the four sub-official villages, Liu Mingde.

"Liu Mingde, what's the matter? I came and saw Chief Min. ”

Xu Mingtao introduced it, and Liu Mingde greeted him.

"A flower came again and snatched the three ploughing cattle of the four families."

"It's this flower again, when did it happen?"

"It was last night. The family got up early this morning and found that the bullpen had been demolished, so they quickly gathered a few people to chase after them, and when they caught up, they saw that it was a flower, went up to theorize, and was beaten by others, and came back in disgrace. ”

"This is a flower, it's still this set, she's still a lady."

Xu Mingtao gave Jia Min a general introduction to the situation, and he was about to rush to Sijiazi. Jia Min didn't have anything important, so he went to Sijiazi with him. He also wanted to go to Guanzhuang to see how Guanzhuang operated.

On the way to Sijiazi, Xu Mingtao introduced Jia Min to the situation of the bandit leader Yizhihua.

A flower is named Qu Pianxian, her father was originally from the Hubei Grain Road, and was exiled to Bukui because of greed.

According to the law of the Dade Dynasty, the wives and concubines of criminal officials like her father were also exiled with them, which was the system of wives with a history of more than 100 years.

If a husband and wife are exiled, if their parents and children are willing to follow, they are allowed to follow. There was only one daughter, Qu Pianxian, in the grain road, so he had to bring her with him.

Within a few years of coming, Qu Pianxian's mother fell ill and died. When Qu Pianxian was fifteen years old, she also had a serious illness, which happened to be the busy season of summer farming, and the grain department took care of her daughter for a few days, and her daughter was not well.

had no choice but to return to the official village to work, because if he didn't go back, the head of the village would deal with him on the charge of escaping.

Qu Pianxian was left with nothing to dispose of, so Liangdao had no choice but to carry his daughter to a small forest on the side of the road, throw it there, and leave her to fend for herself.

The rest of the story is the version of the legend, and there is no evidence.

Some say that Qu Pianxian was rescued by passing bandits, some say that she climbed into the river by herself and wanted to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river, but when she went downstream, she was rescued by a mountain runner, and some said that she was rescued by bandits.

In short, Qu Pianxian later became the wife of a group of bandits on the Wendula Mountains.

Later, her husband died, and she became the leader of the bandits.

As for how her husband died, there are different theories. Some say that he was surrounded and killed by officers and soldiers, and some say that he was killed by bandits, always, Qu Pianxian did become the leader of the bandits.

In the years that followed, she annexed several other bandits on the Windula Mountains, becoming the largest group of bandits within a radius of several hundred miles.

The so-called "locks" is the name of the local people for bandits, and it is also the jargon among bandits.

Qu Pianxian is the daughter of an official eunuch, and she is also literate and hyphenated, and it is said that she has some talent for poetry, and she is also very smart.

The year after she became Mrs. Zhai, her father died of illness.

Later, the head of his father's Zhuangzi was burned to death in a fire. Some people say that the fire burned very strangely, and the head of the village should have been able to escape from the house, but, for some reason, he was burned to death in the house.

So some people suspected that Qu Pianxian did this matter.

It is not unreasonable to say this.

This Qu Pianxian is very smart and very alert, not only successfully annexed the other locks, but also escaped several large-scale encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers.

The bandits under Qu Pianxian are basically composed of two parts. One is the local bandits, and the other is the outcasts who have escaped. Some of these exiles went to defect because they couldn't endure hard labor, or because they couldn't stand the insults and scoldings of the head of the village.

Some of them fled into the deep mountains and old forests by themselves and were taken in by bandits.

In fact, when Qu Pianxian came out to commit crimes, he generally did not aim at murder, but mainly on money. There are three main ways of committing crimes.

One is the kidnapping. If you want to tie up tickets, you naturally want to tie up the rich.

The second is to rob the official village. The third is to steal and rob cattle.

The so-called robbery is generally divided into three ways. One is stealing, that is, stealing as much as possible. The second is that in the process of stealing, someone finds out, and it becomes an open robbery. The third is to grab from the beginning. For example, when people's cattle are plowing the land or pulling carts, a gang of bandits will rush up and rob them.

After committing the crime, Qu Pianxian often left books at the scene, saying that he was a man who was not benevolent to the rich, robbed corrupt officials and cool officials, robbed the rich to help the poor, and eradicated the injustices in the world, which was to do the right thing for heaven

In some disaster years or when there was a shortage of flowers, it is said that she really sent some food and money to some poor families. So some fools said that she was a righteous bandit.

She herself also claimed that she was the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, who came to the world to help the suffering.

The reason why it is called a flower is because she is very beautiful. I didn't be a bandit before, and when I was still in Bukui, I was a beautiful embryo.

To outsiders, stealing a few ploughing cattle doesn't seem like a big deal. However, in this day and age, especially in a predominantly agricultural area like Bukwe, the theft of cattle is a big deal.

Oxen can pull carts and plough the land, which is a very important means of production. In the laws of the imperial court, the slaughter of ploughing cattle was a felony almost equivalent to murder, and was classified as exile along with the crimes of arson and embezzlement by officials.

After listening to Xu Mingtao's introduction, Jia Min felt both funny and angry, sympathetic and hateful to this flower.

There is certainly pitiful encounters, and you can also make up stories to package and market yourself. However, there are some bottom lines that you shouldn't touch.

Whether you steal something, steal something, kidnap a ticket, or kill someone, you do it. Such things can be found everywhere. No matter what you do, it's a criminal offense, and your label is just a bandit.

However, if you have to add any labels to yourself as robbing the rich and helping the poor, leveling out the injustice in the world, and relieving the suffering, it is political.

Fortunately, you have not yet raised the slogan of anti-emperor, otherwise, you would have been classified as an anti-thief. Even if you have some skills and have the cover of Windula Mountain, you won't be able to last long.

After all, it's just a bandit, and if the officials make up their minds to eliminate you, you will be finished sooner or later.

Alas, a lady who is a big girl and becomes a bandit leader, this transformation is inevitably a little too drastic. Although your bandit business is quite successful, it is not a professional, and it is all up to your peers.

Walking all the way, you will arrive at Sijiazi Village.

Sijiazi is a relatively large village. There are about 100 families in total. These people are ordinary peasant households, not official farms.

Most of the residents are not local indigenous, and most of them have moved here.

Most of them are from Shandong and Zhili, and they first fled here and settled here. There are also those who have settled here as people after the end of their exile.

Generally speaking, the inhabitants here are composed of two parts, one is the homeless and the other is the homeless.

Exiles are ordinary people who have never committed a crime. A regressor is a person who has sinned, but is restored to the people.

If you add the prisoners in the surrounding official villages, it is three groups of people who make up the residents of this area.

Those prisoners in the official village are exiles.

The common label of homeless people, displaced people, and exiles is the word "liu", which is basically a foreign population.

Expanding the scope a little further, bandits like Huaqu Pianxian are actually mainly composed of exiles, so it may be more appropriate to call them bandits.

After a rough turn in the village, I began to go to the official village. In turn, they arrived at No. 7, No. 8 Guanzhuang, and finally arrived at No. 9 Guanzhuang.

B7, B8 and the like are the numbers made by the Yamen for Guanzhuang, representing No. 7 and No. 8 Guanzhuang in District B.

Liu Mingde, who went to report the news, was the head of the No. 9 Guanzhuang, because he had already reported the news to Xu Mingtao, and the new Lord Dusi came, so he accompanied him back.

The exiles who went to the other two Zhuangzi and the soldiers of the Fu Corps had already stayed there. Jia Qiao, the glove man, happened to be assigned to Liu Mingde's No. 9 Guanzhuang.

Liu Mingde is a person who is not good at words, and he probably has never dealt with a big official like Jia Min so closely, and after saying two words, he doesn't know what to say.

Jia Min didn't care, so he walked by himself, asking questions as he went. In the end, Xu Mingtao introduced more information.

The nine exiles who served in the No. 9 Guanzhuang were also recruited to meet, all of them were tanned, in tattered clothes, and looked weather-beaten. One man was barefoot, apparently without shoes.

As soon as he looked at their faces, hair, and bodies, Jia Min determined that they were generally malnourished.

When I entered the house where the exiles lived, there was a pungent smell, which was a mixture of sweat and shoes. As soon as Miaoyu and Ping'er entered the house, they immediately went out.

On the big kang, there were quilts that could no longer be seen in their true colors, and some tattered clothes were piled up at the end of the kang. The windows were covered in dust, and there were cobwebs hanging from the corners, apparently they hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

In the fire room, it was even more messy. A few cornmeal nests were casually thrown on the board, interspersed with a few potatoes and sweet potatoes. Jia Min flipped left and right, but he didn't see a piece of meat. I didn't see any oil.

I walked a few official villages, and they were all like this.

He wanted to ask the exile for questioning, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

When I asked them about this occasion, they didn't dare to tell the truth. Once he is gone, no matter what the exiles say, he may be liquidated by the head of the village.

Fortunately, I sent down the government soldiers, and after staying in each village for a long time, I will understand the real situation.

In fact, the accommodation conditions of these official villages are already good. I still live in a house above ground. Most of the prisoners in Guanzhuang live in semi-underground underground kilns, where the living conditions are even worse.

After staying for a while, I started walking back. On the way, Jia Min thought about a flower again.

According to Xu Mingtao, this Yizhihua has not come out to commit crimes for several months. I came yesterday, and she came out to commit the crime today, is it a bit too coincidental?

The news of his arrival in Bukui yesterday was first delivered to Bukui by Jia Qin the day before yesterday.

Wendura Mountain is seventy or eighty miles away from Bukui, and if someone reports to a flower, it will be enough in time.

I wonder if there's really some mystery here. It is said that there are three fires for the new official to take office, how about burning a fire on a flower?
