Chapter 25: Killing the Night
Doctor Xiao Liu grimaced, and replied stiffly: "This kind of black-hearted little official, the murder cases committed must be indispensable, and there will be crimes when the time comes, so don't worry about this." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The county seat of Dingbei County is very small, and the brigade rushed to the east of the city after a while. The door of Zhenban County is easy to find, and the largest household in the east of the city is that it occupies half of the street.
Li Deyi looked up at this huge mansion, and said to Dr. Xiao Liu with emotion: "It's really big, half of the street is his house." Doctor Xiao Liu pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Look at your appearance that you have never seen the world, there are more mansions in Zhongshen City than this." Even the Shuai Mansion of Di Dashuai back then was much better than this. Li Deyi scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "I really haven't seen the world, hehe, let my senior brother laugh." "Doctor Xiao Liu looked at him like this, and thought to himself that he had never been out of the scope of Dingbei County until now, and it was normal that he hadn't seen these, so it was not good to say anything.
Qian got off the horse, first sent a hundred people to surround the courtyard, more than ten people found the back door, the side door was blocked, and then directly caused people to come forward and smash the door. The soldiers came to bang on the dark gate with a big tree, and the money manager said angrily behind him: "Light, rabbit cubs! This gate makes a good wooden shield on all sides! Don't smash it! Come on, we'll go in later, and we'll tear down the door and bring it back. And the brass nails on the gate! When they are all pried off, they can be melted to make several pairs of heart goggles. ā
Li Deyi heard Mr. Qian say this beside him, turned his head to Doctor Liu and said, "Senior brother, are all the people in our Weibei camp so good at living?" When Dr. Liu heard Li Deyi say this, he replied a little angrily: "You know a fart!" If we had a good enough shield when the Tuliao people came a few years ago, why would we have killed so many brothers by their arrows! In recent years, the quality of the standard weapons and shields in the army has become worse and worse, and if we don't find our own way, will we let the brothers just carry rusty knives and broken shields to fight? Think less about those useless things, and think more about our Weibei Camp, which is the capital of your life. ā
As Dr. Xiao Liu spoke, his anger came up a little, and he directly stretched out his hand to twist Li Deyi's ears and said, "You study hard, when you lead the troops, you must always remember the lives of the brothers, and the brothers will give you their lives." My Weibei battalion is still strong today, and it relies on the tradition left by this Di Dashuai. We are leading soldiers to fight, we put our heads on the waistband of our pants every day, and we have to go into battle to fight for our lives at any time, you really should be living that life! Li Deyi begged for mercy and said, "Senior brother, senior brother, you lighten it, it hurts." Doctor Xiao Liu glared at his junior brother: "If it doesn't hurt, can you have a long memory!" In two years, you will have to fight desperately, and you will still have the same thoughts as these women all day long, and you will definitely give your life to the battle. Now you can study hard for me! ā
Li Deyi hurriedly said: "Senior brother, you are right, I must study hard." Doctor Xiao Liu saw that the door had been smashed open at this time, and said, "I will spare you this time." So he took Li Deyi and broke in with the soldiers.
A group of people all rushed into the house of Zhenbanxian County, and the family of Zhenbanxian County didn't know what was going on, and a person who looked like a housekeeper rushed out and shouted: "What are you doing?" Do you know whose house it is? Wang Zhuangbiao rushed in his head, shook his hand with a big-eared scraper, and directly fanned the goods away, scolding, "noisy". Qian ordered the general manager: "Drive everyone to the courtyard and assemble, and the men who dare to resist will be killed on the spot." Don't violate the female dependents, if you violate this, the military law of our Weibei Battalion doesn't know who you are! Be careful, don't break the bottles and cans in the house, break them and whip you! The soldiers who had already rushed into the house took out a chair and sat down for Mr. Qian, who sat in the middle of the courtyard and waited for his subordinates to arrest him.
This time, the general manager specially called several veterans of the Weibei battalion in charge of the quartermaster logistics battalion, and ordered in a low voice: "You bring some careful soldiers, and collect those precious bottles, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques from room to room, and keep them for us to use in the future." This time it's a bit big, I'm afraid I'll have to deal with some hand tails. "The leader is a veteran named Chen Jinyan, in the early years, when Di Dashuai was there, he was responsible for going back and forth to the nobles on the grassland to pour things back and forth, in exchange for good war horses, stallions, and he was very familiar with this kind of thing. Chen Jinyan patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will do it well." Brothers, let's go. ā
This time, Doctor Liu didn't ask Li Deyi to follow him in to raid the house, but just left him by his side to watch quietly. Li De glanced at it for a while, and said in a low voice to Doctor Liu: "Senior brother, I look at our posture, I want to copy his house upside down." Doctor Xiao Liu put his hands behind his back, puffed his chest and pretended to be old-fashioned, and said: "Don't just stare at us, you take a look at Zhenbanxian first, he is skilled and experienced in the process of blackmailing the rich man, and the front and back hands and tails are handled neatly, it can be seen that he doesn't know how much he has done this kind of thing." This Zhenban County must have done a lot of things to break the family and property, and to deal with this kind of villain, you don't have to be soft-hearted, just copy him cleanly. Li Deyi said in passing: "Senior brother, the ancestors of this Zhenban County have been operating in this Dingbei County for generations, and they must have saved a lot of things, so it's all ours." ā
Medical Officer Xiao Liu pondered for a while, and said: "It is estimated that there will not be too much gold and silver, after all, this Zhenban County is not doing business and making a fortune like Rich Zhang, but there will definitely be no shortage of things like land property deeds." When Li De heard this, he said: "If only there could be so much gold and silver from the rich man's family." When Dr. Liu heard this stupid remark, he raised his hand and wanted to hit again, Li Deyi hurriedly flashed to the side, and said aggrievedly: "Senior brother, I don't understand that you just need to tell me, this time you don't have to beat me, you must have a long memory!" Medical Officer Xiao Liu put down his hand and said with a serious face: "You should remember my words carefully, our Weibei Battalion has been subject to the constraints of the above over the years, mainly because of the salary and military rations. Dingbei County, which forced us to guard against this bird without, promised to send us half a year's military rations, but we didn't give it until our Weibei battalion arrived in Dingbei County. Later, we will copy the title deed of this earthquake half county, and with these lands, we can hire people to farm the land and collect grain by ourselves, and when the time comes, we will no longer have to be restrained by the peak. As for the military salary, the sponsorship fee for his son's camp given by Zhang's rich family before was enough for us to make more than two years. ā
Li De nodded, listened carefully, and pretended to understand, but in fact, he didn't understand the doorway at all. Seeing him like that, Medical Officer Xiao Liu couldn't help but add: "Food is very important to our Weibei Camp, just remember it." Now you look carefully, see more and talk less. ā
After a long time, the female relatives of the Zhenban County family were driven by the soldiers to the courtyard of the main gate. There were cursing and crying, and there were a few young people with sneers on their faces. Qian Zong's eyes widened, and his mouth muttered: "Good guy, this old dog really has twelve concubines, hey, it's really good." He turned his head and glared at the half-dead Zhenbanxian for a while, and scolded loudly: "Damn, the good cabbage has made the pig arch." ā
A soldier ran to the head of the money with blood on his body and said loudly: "Report, there are several family guards in this family who have organized a rebellion and have been killed by us on the spot." The rest of the men were tied with ropes and brought over. Qian General was always concerned: "This blood on your body? Are any of the brothers hurt? The soldier replied, "The blood of the paparazzi is all the blood, and one brother was unlucky enough to trip and fall, and no one was hurt." Mr. Qian laughed and said, "It's good that the brothers are not injured, take everyone up and watch, wait for the meeting to discuss the charges, and then see whether they should be killed or released." ā
After a while, the men in the family were escorted out. Qian General walked up to these men and shouted: "It's all for Lao Tzu, I was going to kill all of you dogs, but I have the virtue of a good life in heaven, and I will give you a chance to live." Now, as long as you expose the lawlessness in Zhenban County, I will let you live. Those who want to be exposed later can raise their hands and speak, they can do anything, beat the blind, scold the deaf, trip the lame, dig up the grave, kick the widow's door, snatch the candy of the child, help the old lady, these can all be exposed. I'll count three later, if no one takes the initiative to expose it, don't blame Lao Tzu's knife for being fast! After speaking, he pulled out the knife from his waist, and the bright steel knife shook the eyes of the group of kneeling killers. The knife danced a few times against the scalp of these men, and the money began to count: "One, two......" "Master, the little one has something to say." A big fat man in a white hat shouted.
Qian looked him up and down a few times and asked, "What are you doing?" What do you have to report? The fat man replied tremblingly: "Back to the old man, the little one is the cook of the old man's house, and the villain reported his family for not giving money for buying things." The old lady in charge, oh no, is the old lady of Zhenban County likes to eat a stewed pigeon, every time she has to use a small rooster, fresh mushrooms, fish brain tofu soup to feed the taste, his family for several years to buy a pigeon pigeon, do not give the person money, in the end the person jumped into the river. The money manager listened to it and scolded: "Damn, it's so troublesome to eat a pigeon, it's really rich to burn." This is a dish, not only did his mother not give people money, but also ate everyone down, and even ate a life lawsuit. Okay, this one is considered merit for you to expose, you can go. "I really let the cook go.
Mr. Qian asked the rest of the men, "Is there anything else that has been exposed?" Nobody raises their hand, right, I'll count to three! "Zhenban County has accumulated prestige for so many years, even if he is now caught, many people are still afraid of him like a tiger and dare not come forward to expose it. There are also those who are fundamentally acting for the tiger, and they have done a lot of immoral things with Zhenban County, and they dare not expose it, for fear that they will also be unlucky. Seeing that no one raised their hands for a while, Qian always sank his face, stepped forward and grabbed a man and cut off his head directly, the blood soared more than three feet high directly from the neck, and the human skull rolled on the ground. After slaughtering this person, Qian Zhuang said viciously: "I'll count three more times, and no one raises his hand to expose Lao Tzu and then cut people, but I want to see if your mouth is hard, or Lao Tzu's knife is fast!" ā
"One, two......" "The boss is slow, and the small ones have important things to report." "Oh? What do you do. "The villain is the son of the big housekeeper Jia Youde, and he is full of cheap names." Qian wiped the knife that was still dripping blood, and said, "Mingzi is good, what do you have to report?" Jia Manfu knelt and climbed a few steps to the head of the money and said, "The little one knows that the second son of Zhenban County is in the former army, and he spent money to buy a thousand presidents last year. When Mr. Qian heard this, he frowned: "This news is very important, well said, you go to the side and stay, your little life is saved." Come, bring a chair for this blessed one to sit on. As he spoke, he gave a few soldiers a look, meaning to look at the people and don't let him escape.
Na Jia Manfu didn't know what was wrong, so he walked to the chair and sat down, and there was actually a soldier who handed him a cup of tea to suppress his shock, he took it and drank it in a big gulp, only to feel that the tea that he was tired of drinking on weekdays was extra moisturizing today. Qian turned his head and began to interrogate the other men. With this Jia Manfu at the beginning, many people began to expose the illegal deeds done by Zhenban County, but there is one article, the whistleblower himself did not participate, and it was all a lack of morality that Master Zhen took with other family servants.
As soon as Li Deyi heard these people's complaints, he pulled his senior brother's sleeve and whispered to Doctor Liu: "There is still a son in this Zhenban County who has become a thousand presidents?" What kind of reputation is the former promotion, and you can still spend money to be promoted? Doctor Xiao Liu said disdainfully: "This is all the prince in Zhongshen City, Tong Maicheng made a famous hall." He commanded the Northern Frontier Army, and when he was also the Privy Vice-Minister, he set up three new armies, which were promoted, forward, and advanced. As long as you take out the money of these three new armies, you can buy a one-and-a-half official position, and the position is clearly priced, and many rich families have bought military positions for their children who have no income. As for the money, most of it fell into the pockets of today's sons, and the rest was divided by the several powerful and wealthy lords involved in this matter. ā
"Oh, I see. Since the son of Zhenbanxian County has made a thousand generals, will we ...... the family like this" Li Deyi didn't dare to say the rest of the words, and Xiao Liu Medical Officer took the words of his junior brother and said: "These armies are all scum, and there is a hand in the scourge of the place, when it comes to fighting, one of our Weibei battalions can do five of them." Moreover, these armies eat empty salaries very well, and even half of the people under General Qian's hands are often not recruited. Last year, the Tuliao people came to fight the grass valley, and these armies were the fastest to rout. When the Tuliao people fought the grass valley and left, their defeated army once again harmed the local area. If his son doesn't come to seek revenge, if he leads the team, hum, he is going to kill a few such scum to stand up for the majesty of our Weibei camp. ā
The two brothers spoke, Jia Huwei, the loyal housekeeper of Zhenban County, had already sold his master, and confessed that when the Tuliao people came last year, Zhenban County had sent people out of the city to contact, and on the condition of opening the city gate in the middle of the night, he asked to save his family's money and life. This Zhenban County has been in the market for a long time, and he knows what the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are like now, and he didn't expect this small Dingbei county town to hold it at that time. For the long-term prosperity of his family, he also made a plan early on, and did not hesitate to sell the lives of people in this city. As a result, in the end, the Weibei camp not only defended, but also fought a small victory, Zhenbanxian was relieved at that time, and secretly said that he was safe, and only sent his own housekeeper to contact this matter, no one else knew, but he didn't want to be sold by the big housekeeper, and in the end he couldn't keep his long-term wealth. When Mr. Qian heard the news, he was overjoyed and laughed: "Fornicating with the North is now a first-class crime, and it is also light to raid the family and exterminate the clan." Sons, take action, let's raid the house! ā
After the words were given, the soldiers, who were already ready to move, burst into the houses and began to confiscate the gold and silver goods. The role of the several veterans who had been sent to watch over the valuables was evident at this time, and each of them divided several rooms to protect these valuable goods in advance, and arranged for the soldiers to move out first and cover them with red cloths. Otherwise, in this chaos, vases, corals, jade ruyi, and other precious but fragile things will definitely be destroyed by these rough soldiers. Qian personally picked up the red cloth and looked at it, and scolded: "This dog thief really scavenged a lot of good things to come home, damn it, he can really pull it home." There was a family member below who looked like he said: "Tell the soldier, my master has secretly robbed the merchants passing through here for many years, and has also contacted the tribes on the grassland to act together. ā
Li Deyi said to Medical Officer Xiao Liu: "Senior brother, this earthquake in Banxian County is really bad, there is nothing he dare not do." Doctor Xiao Liu nodded and said: "This Zhenban County is a tiger-like figure in this Dingbei County, and he has been running it for several generations, and he is very bold, and he is afraid that he has done all the bad things for money." Let's wait and see, there will definitely be a lot of good things copied later. ā
After another half an hour, when the sun had turned to the west, and the raid was almost over, more than 30 boxes of gold and silver were brought out, small boxes of one foot square, full of boxes of gold and silver. These money, plus jewelry, all kinds of antiques, in the end actually filled half of the yard.
Doctor Xiao Liu was also dumbfounded at this time, and said in a low voice: "His family has been in charge of Dingbei County for several lifetimes, and he has really saved a lot of family business, and I underestimated his family before." As soon as these goods were brought out, everyone was red-eyed, and the soldiers of the Weibei battalion were the happiest, all of them were full of energy and red faces. The families in Zhenban County are all as dead as ashes, with their heads lowered. The old lady of the county, Tan, was even more crazy when she saw these gold and silver, and she didn't know where she came from, so she broke through the soldiers who stopped her, pounced on a box of gold, and hugged it and didn't let go.
This Tan sat on the ground and hugged the box of gold and cried: "This is all earned by my son with his ability, why do you say that you will snatch it, this is all the family property earned by my son!" As he spoke, he sat on the ground and protected the gold and silver like crazy, so that no one would come forward, crying and making trouble. For a while, all the soldiers were really embarrassed by her madness.
The Tan family was crying here, and a family member had already sued this old woman, "Master Bing, this old pious woman is the most greedy." She likes to sit in a sedan chair to go out of the city on weekdays, and when she sees whose land is good, she secretly remembers it in her heart, and after returning home, she changes the law to let his son get the land, for which many people have died. She celebrates her birthday every year, and her favorite thing is that someone gives her a whole box of gold and silver, and she is very greedy for money. ā
Mr. Qian sighed: "With such a greedy old lady, it is not difficult to raise such a greedy son." Her son was already in the public house, and it was as easy to get some money as reaching for it. The money came too easily, and there was this money-greedy old lady in the family who instigated it, and her son was also wild-hearted, and he killed people and sold goods, and broke the house and took people's money. Hey, her son can have such a big family business, thanks to the supervision of this greedy old lady. Their family has today's disaster, and it is thanks to this greedy old lady. If her son hadn't coveted someone else's wealth, he wouldn't have gone to that rich man's house to blackmail him today. If her son didn't go to Rich Zhang's house today, how could he be caught by the people of my Weibei camp, and there would not have been this tragic disaster. Her family has now encountered this disaster of breaking the house and destroying the door, and the root is all in this old pious woman. Come! Immediately cut the body of this greedy old pious woman into pieces, cut off her head and hang it outside the gate, so that the people of the whole county can see her fate! Justice be done to those who were killed by her forcible seizure of the land and the goods. At the sound of the order, several soldiers came to carry out the execution with knives. It's a pity that until he died, the greedy Tan still clung to a box of gold and silver and didn't let go, and the soldier was helpless, so he could only cut off her fingers in the end, and then took out the box of gold and silver.
Xiao Liu said with emotion: "The wealth passed down by his family for several generations has become nothing in one day, I don't know if this earthquake in half the county will see today, will it be repentant, will it be converged." ā
Li Deyi interjected next to him: "I'm afraid it's difficult, senior brother, this Zhenban County has been acting as a prestige in this county all these years, holding his boss hostage, suppressing his colleagues, and suppressing the people, he is simply a local emperor." We have never had such a scenery in our villages, and I have heard from our people in the village that if we can have such a scenery, even if it is only for one day, it is worth dying. Doctor Xiao Liu smiled, didn't argue, and directly asked someone to bring a basin of cold water.
Doctor Xiao Liu pulled Li Deyi to the faint Zhenbanxian and said: "We brothers don't have to argue, Zhenbanxian himself is here, let's wake up this once so beautiful people, see what he said, don't you know." As he spoke, he poured cold water on Zhen Banxian's face, and went up to pinch his people.
After a while, Zhen Banxian sighed, let out a sigh, and woke up.
