Chapter Eighty-Five: Xiucai Meets Bing
The sound was like a drum, which provoked Liu Mingming's body to shiver, this angry shout was too shocking, and he left a thousand words in his stomach, and there was a sound of eating in his mouth, but he could only look at Wang Huan with angry eyebrows in horror, and couldn't say half a word.
"I comfort the envoy Si is concerned about the safety of the people, and would rather let the people of Shizhu cut down on food and clothing, but also save grain exports, and provide you with two meals a day, and you dare to take revenge, not only are you grateful, but also gather people to make trouble, you Liu surnamed Xusheng, a dignified reading seed, not only do not teach the people with the teachings of the saints, but take the lead in incitement, and disturb the people with words, what crime should you be guilty of?" Wang Huan's eyes widened angrily, he pointed at Liu Mingliang with one hand, and his mouth gushed endlessly, and a big hat was buckled.
"Big, big, big ......" Liu Mingliang was speechless, and he was about to refute with his squirming mouth, where would Wang Huan give him a chance to speak, and another string of words like a machine gun was thrown over.
"My Shizhu land is poor and has little grain, and the court is in an eventful autumn, there is no food allocation, what you eat and drink is all saved from between the teeth of the Shizhu Xuanzhi envoy, you call two taels of cotton to spin, where is the government has such a vast kindness?"
"When you run out of food, what do you eat? Do you want to learn from the thieves and gather a crowd to rob the local people of Shizhu? The stone pillar didn't dare to say anything else, and he had never blinked an eye to kill the bandits, and the shaft dared to hear? ”
The crowd of onlookers looked at the black leather-armored warrior standing behind Wang Huan in fear, and the circle spread out a little more.
"I, Wang Huan, have been entrusted by the consolation envoy to properly settle you, but tens of thousands of people eat and drink, and there is no food relief from the imperial court, even if I have the ability to reach the sky, I can't conjure up food out of thin air! Therefore, we can only open up the financial route, buy grain from the outside, and tide over the difficulties for you. ”
"Mining, it sounds very hard, but it is definitely much more affordable than you digging in the soil, the notice I posted is very clear, all the miners who go down the mine, dig out five catties of ore, reward one penny, can be cashed in three days, how much silver can you earn after working in the field for a year? If you think about it carefully, this is definitely a shortcut to making money, whether it is for the consolation envoy or for you, it is a good thing. ”
As soon as these words came out, the homeless people in a circle immediately turned their heads and ears, and a buzzing sounded, and the people who were originally afraid to come out of the atmosphere had joy on their faces, and discussed the good or bad of this matter.
Liu Mingming, who had been wanting to speak from beginning to end, changed color in vain, because he had read the notice that had been posted, and what Wang Huan said was indeed very clear, but he felt that as a scholar, how could he be willing to do the despicable work of going down the mine, but as the notice said, if he didn't go to work in the mine, he would only be given one meal a day, wouldn't he be starved into a fool? Therefore, he took advantage of the general illiteracy of the homeless people, deliberately distorted the content of the notice, instigated a large number of homeless people to come to the door to make trouble, and tried to force pressure on the propaganda envoy to withdraw the notice of work for food.
Liu Mingliang thought that his eloquence was outstanding, and as long as he was the first to persuade the local officials of the Xuanxuan Envoy Department with the great truth of the sage in front of everyone, he would be able to achieve his goal. Where can the eloquence of the local officials be compared with him.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he ran into an iron plate, Wang Huan is a contestant who has participated in the debate competition, and he is famous for his fast mouth, and he can't talk at all, so he can only stare and jump his feet.
"My lord, as long as you go down to the mine to mine, you can really not only eat, but also get silver?" The group of homeless people whispered for a while, and an old man with gray hair hurriedly asked, looking at Wang Huan's pause.
"Of course, the consolation envoy does not tell empty words and lies, you look at the past few months, the food given to you is white rice and barley, without a little chaff and sand, can the lying government do such a thing?" Wang Huan swore an oath.
"As long as the silver mine is produced, the Xuanfu envoy has silver, and he can buy back more food, not to mention the more than 20,000 of you, even more people, we can also settle them. I know, what are you fleeing your homes for? Isn't it just a way to live! Now there is chaos everywhere outside the stone pillar, and there is no way to sacrifice thieves, except for the stone pillar, which state and county is so calm and safe? If you don't want to work to earn money, I naturally don't welcome it, eat and drink for nothing, that's a lazy parasite, I won't force you, if you are willing to stay, you can sign up now, if you don't want to, tomorrow morning, please leave yourself, I don't raise idlers! Wang Huan followed the good path.
After a pause, Wang Huan finally stopped, he had to give these homeless people some time to think.
"Folks!" Liu Mingliang finally waited for Wang Huan to take a break, hurriedly raised his hands, and shouted loudly: "The imperial court is justified in relieving the hungry!" Who should go hungry to work? This is against the principles of heaven! I waited thousands of miles to run to the stone pillar, isn't it because I am all the people of the Ming Dynasty? The court's move is to chill the hearts of the people of the world! ”
As soon as he agitated like this, there were immediately people who were also in the appearance of Gongsheng Gongsheng, and some people in the crowd who were dressed in brocade clothes also echoed the voice, and for a while, Wang Huan's already suppressed scene became a little commotion.
Wang Huan squinted his eyes, looked at the group of people led by Liu Mingming, and thought a little, but Liu Mingliang and the others thought that this young local official was speechless by himself, as a scholar, he didn't even dare to dispose of it at will in the Ming Dynasty, these mountain officials, even helpless, at this moment, he got proud, licked his mouth, raised his arms and shouted: "I swear not to exchange work for food, I would rather starve to death in front of this hall, see what the court can do to me!" ”
"Presumptuous!" Another shout, the sound of the sky, Liu Mingliang and the others reflexively shook again, feeling that this shouting was so familiar.
Wang Huan stepped forward, grabbed Liu Mingming's shirt, who was excited, and shouted: "You don't want to live, you can leave, why do you want everyone to follow you to be stupid." The official document of the consolation envoy has been issued, and those who do not accept it are regarded as complicity in rebellion, as a scholar, don't you even understand this? ”
He threw Liu Mingliang with his backhand, threw him to the ground, and shouted: "Take it!" Throw yourself into the dungeon! ”
Wang Huan grabbed and fell, and used all his strength to smash Liu Mingliang, who was powerless, to his head, Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan were like wolves and tigers, jumped up, pressed a strong one, took out the rope, and tied it.
The crowd of people who were shouting with Liu Mingliang just now were stunned, and then they were furious, that is the scholar of the Ming Dynasty, the pillars of governance who are regarded as treasures in all dynasties and generations, this barbarian dares to treat him so rudely, but it is going to be the opposite!
Immediately, more than 20 people rushed out of the crowd crying and shouting, about to rob people, shouting: "Saint Kong, open your eyes, there are evil officials who dare to poison disciples and others like this!" Someone else shouted: "Aren't you afraid of the court's punishment?" The body of a scholar's daughter, how can I allow you to wait for such a bad practice! ”
Wang Huan watched them emerge from the crowd coldly, and a cruel smile appeared on his indifferent face: "All out?" Just right. ”
He nodded slightly to Ma Xintian, who also had a cold face behind him, Ma Xintian understood, hugged his fists and led the order, and rushed forward with a group of armor soldiers.
The group of people who rushed out were obviously stunned for a moment, they never expected that the big-headed soldiers on the opposite side would really dare to make a move, they originally thought that there were many people on their side, and the law did not blame the public, but they didn't expect that the young local official would really dare to make a move, which was not fun.
Before they could let out another round of shouting, Ma Xintian used the long knife with the sheath in his hand to slap the face of a scholar who was running at the front, and twirled him, leaving a striking red mark on Bai Shengsheng's face, the scholar was stunned for a moment, and then let out a loud wail.
The soldiers in leather armor surrounded them, formed a circle, isolated this group of people from the people behind, and then beat them with long sticks and short sticks, splitting their heads and covering their faces, and beat the people in the circle to cry and call their mothers, completely without the awe-inspiring and righteous appearance just now, and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, only hating themselves for having a less mouth, and kept crying and screaming to stop fighting, don't fight.
Wang Huan beckoned, and Ma Xintian led the soldiers to tie up all the remaining members of the group and drove them into the courtyard.
The other homeless people watched this scene dumbfounded, and none of them dared to make a sound, who was beaten just now? It's all a talented master, the lord who usually walks with his nostrils facing the sky, and the young official will beat him, without even the slightest hesitation, who dares to go against the tune again?
