Chapter 124 Last Question
According to the rules of the Cao Gang, if the children in the gang are not dismissed, even if they are executed by the gang rules, the family can still eat a share of money and food from the gang. But if the status of the Kai Kai is dealt with as a rebel gang, then the family will have no support.
These people are all from a poor background, and their families have no overnight food, and they are all expected to work hard to earn food and drink. In the current situation, if the source is cut off, the family may starve to death.
Zhao Jiuxiong snorted, "Not convinced? You don't accept the use of a bird, you have even done everything, and you still want to keep the identity of a gang? Dream on! I don't care whose orders you take, I only know that you want to kill my son-in-law, and it is my orders that you violate, and that is the traitor in the gang. The sons of the torture hall, prepare the magic knife, according to the rules, three knives and six holes, no one can show mercy. ”
Yang Chengzu asked, "Who is Elder Tong?" ”
"The elder of our Cao Gang, named Tong Zhan, is Jin Changling's biggest backer in the gang. He can make this big incense head, thanks to Tong Zhan's help, and his filial piety to Tong Zhan every year will not be less. Isn't this old thing in Huaishang? When did he get to Henan? But it doesn't matter, his majesty is in the main altar, and in the place, I am worthy of him. If he dares to come to Huaxian County, I will hack him to death. ”
Although the Cao Gang claims to be a million gangs, that refers to all the members of the gang, and what the gang leader can mobilize is the power around him. The gang leader ordered Yu Huaibei General Altar to be called a mountain, but the farther away from the main altar, the less majestic it is, and a strong man like Zhao Jiuxiong, if he doesn't buy it, Tong Zhan can't do it.
He passed Zhao Jiuxiong directly and gave orders to his subordinates, which was to indirectly weaken Zhao Jiuxiong's authority, and it was also a taboo, so it was strange that Zhao Jiuxiong was not annoyed. He said: "This surnamed Tong has always been a backer for the surname Jin, and this time the surname Jin was planted, and he came to grab the position of Henan Daxiangtou, most likely to arrange his own people to go up." It's just that I didn't expect him to be so bold that even you dare to calculate. ”
"I estimate that most of this Elder Tong has also been mixed into fried grain, and if I cause him to lose money, he will naturally hate me. Cutting off people's financial means is like killing my parents, I have countless enmity with him for killing my father, and it is strange that he doesn't care about me. It's just that they don't understand a truth, the people don't fight with the officials, and the wealth doesn't fight with the power, so just a few people in the rivers and lakes want to fight with me? ”
"Father-in-law, don't worry, whoever picks up and dies with this big incense head will definitely be yours in the future. I will write an excerpt and send it to Kaifeng Thousand Households, and send it to the Governor's Procuratorate, not to mention anything else, first put the surname Tong in a Ming Dynasty and all provinces in one strict manner, I see how he is an elder. ”
Gangs like the Cao Gang have been sheltered by the rivers and lakes on weekdays, and there are not a few criminals who are involved in important cases. But they were all acting as waffles, mingling in the ranks of the lower coolies.
When you reach the level of the altar master, you will inevitably deal directly with the government, and you must use a decent person with a clean net worth. If one is going to become an elder, then don't you want to openly argue with the government?
Most of Tong Zhan's prestige comes from the power of the Cao Gang, which ruins his identity as an elder, and for him, it is equivalent to ruining his future, which is worse than directly cutting him down. Once he is not an elder, those forces that depend on him will not buy his account, and the annual filial piety money will not exist.
This alone can make him die alive. The forces that originally belonged to him would only be taken over by others, and the pattern of the entire Cao Gang would have to change a little, and Zhao Jiuxiong would be closer to the position of this big incense head.
He laughed and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, I know that you have the ability, and it is right to give you the old man." Boss, hurry up and get married to Chengzu, and then give birth to a child, and my father will take care of it. ”
Seven days later, on the Dharma field in the west of Huaxian County, a large number of people surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside, although the rain has been getting heavier and heavier in the past few days, but the interest of these people has not been affected in any way by the heavy rain. After all, this is a rare bustle, dozens of red differences in one breath, where can you see such things on weekdays?
At this time, even if a prisoner is executed, there will be hundreds of people to see the excitement, a small county like Huaxian, cutting more than 50 people in one go, it has to be said to be an unprecedented event, even when the white-clothed thieves were in trouble a few years ago, there was no such killing method, how could such a thing be missed?
In the past few days, the life of the common people has indeed been better, and a few rice shops in the government used to sell grain, but now several closed grain stores in the city have also reopened their doors to sell grain to the outside world. The price of grain is according to the price of the government, which is only half of the price of normal years, and there are many more porridge shacks in the city. According to this trend, this food shortage can basically be overcome, and not too many people will starve to death. Everyone has a livelihood, and they are more interested in watching the excitement.
Among the criminals who were beheaded this time, in addition to those Jiangyang thieves, there were also two family slaves from the Zhang Ju family in the county, and a small steward of Meng Laoyuan's family. These are all decent people, and they have to be courteous when they see them on weekdays, and the characters who are polite and give three points are all on the ground today, how can you not see this excitement?
The White Lotus Holy Maiden and the Fire Wind Phoenix chartered a private seat facing the street on the second floor of the teahouse near the Dharma field, and looked out through the window to see dozens of prisoners already lined up and pressed to the ground.
Although the rain was heavy, those executioners were bare-chested and holding ghost-headed broadswords, and they were still so majestic. I heard that the executioners in the county were not enough, so I borrowed a few good means from the government to help save the scene.
"This Yang Chengzu really did what he said, counting the people who committed suicide before, and the few who were killed by Red Peony in the prison with his own hands, there are more than fifty people killed this time. Sure enough, one life is worth ten lives. The White Lotus Saintess smiled and said, "Sister, you helped him with a bow and arrow last time, and he doesn't know when he will be able to repay this kindness." ”
"If you don't pay anything back, in fact, without my bow and arrows, he may not have an accident. I'm just icing on the cake, it's not a charcoal in the snow, it's still not as good as that row of slingshots. I don't have this thought anymore, he has been in and out of the flawless jade phoenix of the Zhao family in the past few days, and he has played and sang with those women who came out of Xiangmanlou, I guess, he will not take a fancy to me. ”
Huofeng Huang has been peeking at Yang Chengzu a lot in the past few days, seeing that he and Zhao Miniang's love is getting stronger and stronger, the two of them travel together from time to time, and rehearse the repertoire for those fragrant women, and they can't help but feel pantothenic. The White Lotus Holy Maiden said:
"Good sister, don't worry, sooner or later, the sister can tell you to do what you want. He will enter our religion in the future, and I will fulfill you anyway. ”
"Forget it, don't mention it. How did he answer the question this time? I heard that the big families in the county finally relented, not only handed over money and grain, but also took the initiative to sell rice at the price given by the government. ”
"Sister, it's still too early, sister, there is still a question here, and he hasn't answered it yet."
