Before the news of the Tiance army's defeat of Xiaozhong Xianbei in Mayi reached Jinyang, a vicious land annexation incident occurred near Jinyang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Haoqiang, a landlord outside Jinyang City, clashed with nearby civilians because of the expansion of the dock fort, and Haoqiang's family killed a family of five civilians with a sword, and then swaggered back to the dock fort. Hao Qiang then had the family of the murdered civilians hastily buried, and then took all the land for their houses.

Seeing this, the surrounding people fled one after another, but an orphan surnamed Hao risked his life to run to Jinyang City, knelt in front of the state pastor and begged to see him, revealing that the landlord Haoqiang used the expansion of the dock fort as a reason to forcibly buy and occupy it, and disregarded people's lives.

At first, when the boy surnamed Hao came to the state governor's mansion with the determination to die, he was picked up and thrown aside by the guards guarding the gate of the mansion. If it weren't for the fact that he was still a child, according to the rules, the person who stormed the gate of the state capital would be arrested and sent a side plug. The boy refused to leave, and was still shouting grievances nearby, and it happened that Xu Huang had something to go out and saw this scene.

Xu Huang walked up to the boy and asked with a serious face: "This place is the residence of the state uncle, you are a little boy, you are not at home to serve your parents, why do you come here to make noise?" ”

The boy surnamed Hao was not afraid, with a mocking face, and said loudly: "My parents died of hunger, and I am the only one in the family!" Now there is a Haoqiang surnamed Sun who has killed civilians in our village and forcibly occupied houses and land, and the people in the village have fled one after another, and no one dares to report to the officials. Although I am young, I am not afraid of life and death, and I am willing to redress the victim's family! ”

Xu Huang saw that this boy was articulate clearly, and what he exposed was a very sensitive and thorny issue of the annexation of civilian land by wealthy clans, so he did not dare to take it lightly. He led the boy, who was only seven or eight years old, into the governor's mansion and asked Chen Gong to inquire and deal with the matter.

After listening to the boy's story, Chen Gong's face was solemn and he was silent.

Chen Gong remembered that when he and Cao Cao first met Lü Bu at the Qu Meeting, Lü Bu had talked about the increasingly fierce issue of land annexation, which was the root cause of the civil unrest in various parts of the Han Dynasty.

The incident reported by the boy surnamed Hao is just an ordinary case of local wealthy families bullying the people in the neighborhood on the surface, but in essence, it is shaking the social foundation of the state, forcing the people of Taiyuan to rise up like Guo Da in Xihe County.

Chen Gong felt that this matter must be handled carefully, and as for how to deal with it, it could only be decided after consulting Lu Bu.

Because the boy surnamed Hao is now the only witness and the only person who reported the crime, Chen Gong was worried that he would be killed, so he entrusted him to Xu Huang and let Xu Huang be responsible for the personal safety of the boy surnamed Hao.

Xu Huang proposed to Chen Gong that he was willing to go to the village where the case occurred to investigate on the spot, not only to confirm whether what the boy surnamed Hao said was true, but also to provide reference for the next step to solve the matter.

Chen Gong agreed to Xu Huang's request, and Xu Huang asked the boy surnamed Hao to accompany him and took fifty horsemen to the foot of Longshan Mountain in the west of Jinyang City.

Along the way, the boy surnamed Hao didn't say much, but he was particularly curious about the fifty horsemen who followed Xu Huang. After receiving permission, he tiptoed to stroke the belly of the war horse with his hand, and showed a look of envy.

When Xu Huang saw this, he asked the boy: "Look at your words and deeds, you look like a good family, why are you so downcast?" Although your parents died young, are there no other relatives in the family to take care of them? ”

The boy shook his head and told the truth that surprised Xu Huang a little. "I am a concubine, I am like a slave in the clan, I have been coldly looked at by others since I was a child, and then my mother died of illness, and I became a wild child who does not care about the sky and the earth."

"You said your surname is Hao, what is the surname of the wealthy family in the village?"

"The surname is Sun! The same surname as the current Taiyuan Taishou! Since I was born, I have taken my mother's surname. ”

This boy's surname is Hao, and he is famous. I wonder if his mother thought of the words "Tianli Zhaozhao" when she named him when she first named him?

Hao Zhao led Xu Huang directly to the place where the victim's family was buried.

The case happened a few days ago, when the weather was getting hotter, Xu Huang asked people to find some digging tools from the neighborhood that had been discarded by the farmers, and forced the smell of the corpses to dig up the victims' family of five and examine the wounds one by one.

The results of the autopsy were exactly the same as Hao Zhao's description, an old man, two adults and two children in this family of five were all cut by a sharp knife in the throat, which belonged to a sword sealing the throat and killed. It can also be seen from this that the swordsman raised by Haoqiang is extraordinary, and ordinary people are not his opponents at all.

The dead are great, and the earth is safe. Xu Huang led his subordinates to bury the victim's family on the spot. In order to apologize for the disturbance of the deceased, Xu Huang asked the soldiers to dig five earth pits and build five tombs for the family of five.

Just as Xu Huang was directing the soldiers to dig up the grave, a group of Haonu soldiers armed with long and short weapons surrounded them violently. There were about seventy or eighty of the soldiers of the Haonu family who came around, and they looked quite imposing.

"Who are you? Why are there graves on Sun's land? Led by a black-faced man in his thirties, holding a long knife in his hand, pointed at Xu Huang with the tip of the knife, and asked viciously.

Xu Huang stood up, looked at the black-faced man with a cold look in his eyes, and replied indifferently: "I am Xu Gongming, the general of the Tiance Army, there are people buried here, where did you say that there are graves?" ”

The black-faced man saw that there were few people on Xu Huang's side, and he hadn't heard of any Tiance Army before, so he didn't take Xu Huang in his eyes at all, and he continued to say arrogantly: "Hmph, since you know that there are people buried here, why do you want to do the evil act of digging up the corpse?" Could it be that you are here to rob the tomb? ”

Hao Zhao was originally hiding behind the soldiers, and when he heard the black-faced man slandering Xu Huang as a tomb robber, his little face turned red with anger, he came out of the crowd, stood beside Xu Huang, pointed at the black-faced man and scolded: "Sun Heixin, your family is a thief!" General Xu is here to investigate the murder of Feng Gui's family! I see how long your grandson family can be arrogant! ”

Seeing Hao Zhao who suddenly appeared, "Sun Heixin" suddenly changed his face, and he immediately threatened Xu Huang and said: "This general, the world is very chaotic now, you need to pay attention to safety when you go to a remote village like Longshan!" The kid next to you is a fugitive slave from Sun's Dock Fort, and please ask the general not to cover it up and return it to Sun. ”

Xu Huang saw that the situation had deteriorated to the point where he couldn't get better, so he pulled Hao Zhao behind him, and said coldly with a big axe: "Hao Zhao is the whistleblower of this case and an eyewitness, now that the murder case has not been solved, how can it be handed over to you and others for disposal?" ”

When Xu Huang was talking to someone, the fifty horsemen who came with him stopped digging and each took his sword in case someone suddenly attacked. When they saw Xu Huang lifting the big axe, they quietly dispersed in an attack formation, and their eyes revealed a cat-and-mouse banter.

When was the elite of the light cavalry battalion of the Tiance Army threatened by a group of Haonu soldiers?
