"Northern Jiangsu is not better than Lunan, where the marshal has governed for several years, the people are simple, and the road is not left behind. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the northern part of Jiangsu has not been ruled by the marshal for a long time, the people have not been educated, do not distinguish the foolish and virtuous, and there are many lawbreakers, who do evil, and gather for thieves. There are thousands of young and strong children of the Zhuang clan, and it is inevitable that there will be two or three unscrupulous, idle, and not doing their jobs. The old man has furniture, and it is inevitable that he will be coveted by foreign thieves and internal ghosts, so he specially prepares some guns and ammunition, just to prevent himself from thieves, and has no evil thoughts. Moreover, before the Ge Ming Party swarmed, the old man ran a group exercise in Sangzi to protect the territory and the people, maintain order, and also need to prepare guns and ammunition, please check it clearly. The old man knew that he had indeed violated the rules of the marshal, and he was willing to admit punishment. ”

Zhuang Zhifei is an extremely high-ranking person, so he naturally knows that Zhao Guanhou came in person and brought a regiment of men and horses, if he had less blood, it would not work. Think about it for a moment

"The old man is willing to take out the six hundred taels of gold saved by the family as a fine, and ask the handsome to raise his noble hand and spare the old man. Among the old brothers, there are also a few women who have never been suitable in the boudoir, with acceptable appearance and a very supple temperament. If the handsome man does not give up, the old man is willing to give these granddaughters to the handsome and serve the handsome food and living. ”

He knew that Zhao Guanhou was famous for his good fishing color in Jiangbei, and Jinan Girls' School was said to be his special place for hunting. At this time, the knife holder was necked, so I had to send the juniors of the family out, and I would talk about it after passing the current level first.

Zhao Guanhou didn't answer, but only asked: "Let me ask you, when the Shandong Provisional Covenant was agreed, were you not in the provincial council?" ”

"In ...... Lao Yu is the representative of this county, so he is naturally there. ”

"If you are willing to admit it, it is clearly stated in our provisional statute that the system of night rights will be abolished, and you should not forget this. So what happened last night? ”

"Dashuai, this is a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding. Cough...... Cough. Look, big handsome, how can the old body ...... today? How can you still think about the veil. It's customs, the customs are different, you misunderstood. ”

Zhuang Zhifei defended: "The poor villagers are unable to undertake marriages, and in the long run, the population will not be allowed to multiply, and all industries will wither." In the countryside, it is also easy to give birth to lawlessness between men and women. Out of good intentions, the old man lent money with grain to help him complete his employment. I am afraid that the wife he marries will not be virtuous, and the husband and wife will not be harmonious after marriage, or they may be uneasy in the room, and other accidents will be born. Calling people to serve at home is just teaching the way of life, which does not involve the selfishness of men and women, and there is no compulsion and harmony...... This is the family in the name of decay to swagger and deceive, and do evil. The old decay has no way to govern the family, and it is really ashamed that he can't make it. Marshal, please bring the prisoners here, and confront them face to face to find out their innocence. As for these lawbreakers, they are innocent and their sins are unforgivable, and according to the rules of my Zhuang clan, they must also be punished by sinking into the pond. ”

"It's clean, you mean, you haven't touched these women who sent it?"

Zhuang Zhifei pushed his beard, "Boss, please look, at this age, how can you still do such a thing?" As for the children of the family, or some young gentlemen, it is inevitable that they will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. The old man swore that from now on, after the newcomers got married, they would never come to the house to teach the rules. Let them do it themselves, and don't interfere. ”

"Then let me ask you again, how did the only beloved daughter of the former magistrate become your concubine, what do you say? I'm telling you, Miss Hannah has gone to the inner house to find someone, I wonder if this person is also here to learn the rules, right? ”

Zhuang Zhifei knew that this crossing could not be passed, and he remembered the story of this handsome man, who led the troops to Jiangning for the sake of the beautiful woman last year, and broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, there was no third person in the room, so he picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and removed his crown and kowtowed again

"The handsome man, the handsome man! The former magistrate is a donation class, there is no connection here, no backer, and public opinion is not familiar, so it is difficult to move an inch. It is all up to the old decay to maintain him, so that he can sit firmly in his position and keep his official seal. In order to repay the old man, he sent his only daughter to the old man as a concubine, and the old man was fascinated for a while, so he agreed. If you regret it afterwards, it will be difficult to recover. Fortunately, she has not given birth to an heir now, and she is willing to be old...... I am willing to transfer her to Da Shuai, and give her 5,000 acres of fertile land, which is generally her dowry, and half of it is given to her father to make a living. ”

Zhao Guanhou didn't say anything, but only asked with a sneer: "You gave her to me?" Would she like to do it herself? ”

Hearing this, there was a loosening in it, Zhuang Zhifei let out a sigh of relief, "Yes, she is naturally willing." Women are all water-based flowers, why don't they want to marry into a wealthy family? And the handsome young and handsome, she was very happy. Furthermore, since ancient times, the husband is the wife, and the woman talks about three obedience and four virtues, how can she make her own decisions in everything? As long as the handsome nodded, she couldn't agree. ”

Zhao Guanhou clapped his hands, "A good husband is a wife, and a good woman can't make her own decisions about everything." Ben Shuai has just issued a call to announce that he will respond to the civil rights advocacy of the Xingzhong Association and support the equality of men and women, and it seems that what I said is nothing in your eyes. ”

"Gaffes...... The old man lost his word. ”

Zhuang Zhifei vaguely felt that this handsome man seemed to be more difficult to deal with than the officials he had met before. He was born in the Hanlin Academy, and he has seen a lot of high-ranking officials in the ministry and rumors. After returning to his hometown, Ge Ming's Party, the Hui Party, and even various radical organizations have also experienced a lot, and they can always cope with it with ease and ease, but today is the first time that I feel a little struggling.

Fortunately, it is bound to the world, and it is not separated from wine and wealth. He has all four words, and he is not worried about not being able to deal with it, so he hurriedly said: "The handsome man is angry, old and useless, and the incident is sudden, he is confused, and he can't speak righteously, don't be surprised." Please take a break, come so early, you must not have breakfast, the old man will order someone to prepare a table of wine for you, let's talk while eating. ”

Zhao Guanhou waved his hand to stop, "Don't be in a hurry to eat, let's talk about things first." I'm not going to ask you about that, I'll ask you another thing. A month ago, I gave you the order to buy a field and give you silver at the price. The price of silver is negotiable if it is not considered appropriate. Why did you refuse to sell the land, but also refused to bargain, and led the other gentry to petition together to oppose the government's land acquisition. Even for this reason, he also passed the relationship to Zhang Yuan? He is a patrol envoy of the Yangtze River, not a patrol envoy of the north of the Yangtze River, and he can't control you here. Besides, you probably don't know that when Zhang Shaohe sees me, he also has to kowtow and call me a handsome. Do you think that if you have his way, you will not be able to buy my account? ”

"The old man never has this kind of thought, Dashuai Mingcha." Zhuang Zhifei knew that he had committed a big taboo, as a gentry under the jurisdiction of Jiangbei, but he petitioned the officials in Jiangnan, this kind of behavior is difficult for any subordinate official to tolerate. This matter leaked, so it's no wonder that the big handsome man was angry and actually came in person.

He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Handsome and graceful." The ancestor of the Zhuangmen, that is, there is a family motto, in order to prevent the descendants of the family from being unscrupulous, I don't know that the ancestors started a business and squandered it wantonly, and the family rules are specially designated. The family's land is only allowed to be bought, not sold. The dowry can be given, but it cannot be sold for silver. Those who dare to sell an acre of land privately will be removed from the genealogy and will no longer be the banker. The old man did not dare to disobey the ancestral teachings......"

"It turns out that your ancestral teachings are more effective than my great orders. It is no wonder that people say that there are only gentry in northern Jiangsu, and there is no official government. I'm going to tell you, it's time for this old rule to move, your good days are over! The debts you owe all these years have to be paid today! ”

With a broken cry, the leather military boots fell heavily on Zhuang Zhifei with the sound of the wind, and the old man was kicked like a leather ball rolling backwards and hitting the wall. In the screams, blood was seen in the mouth and nose. Outside the door, Xiao Dalong rushed in with a few guards, and Zhao Guanhou pointed at it

"He tied me up with this old thing. And all the men in his family, not one left, all of them were arrested by me. As for the female dependents, they are in centralized custody and waiting to be released. ”

"No, women have to be caught too!" Hannah walked in from the outside with a woman. This woman was unkempt and could not see her facial features clearly, but she was very thin, wearing a long cloth dress full of patches, her skin was dull and lacklustre, and she looked malnourished.

Hannah said, "This is the poor Miss Flower, who has been subjected to inhuman torture in this sinful courtyard. Let an educated woman who can speak a foreign language fluently become an ignorant village woman who does manual labor every day. This is a sin, a blasphemy against the Lord! You must know that when she was studying in Jinmen, she was baptized and a member of Catholicism. Mr. Zhuang, I declare to you in the name of the church that you are in trouble. And the persecutors of her also included the old man's wife, an old woman who claimed to be a good person. She was jealous of this young woman and took away her husband's heart, so she was very harsh on her, and I demanded, that she should also be judged. ”

"As you wish, my little angel. Didn't you hear what Miss Hannah said? Go ahead and tie up his wife for me too! In addition, go to the neighborhood to call someone, there are thousands of young and strong people in his Zhuang family, and the old thing relies on this to blackmail the magistrate, I want to see today, in the end, there are still a few people left in his family! Also, I haven't eaten anything serious since last night, and I've only eaten dry food. Go, slaughter all the big dogs in his house, get me a pot of dog meat to eat, chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, you watch the killing, don't be wronged yourself. Open the grain hoard and carry the grain for cooking! Except that they are not allowed to touch the women of their family, the rest is casual. ”

"Obey!"

The Zhou brothers, who were originally surrounded, were rescued again, watching those soldiers kill the ferocious big dogs, skillfully peel the skin and stew meat, and stock up on flour. Zhou Gui swallowed his saliva, "They say that they are the biggest bandits in Jiangbei, probably telling the truth......"

Hongling pinched his hand and whispered, "What are you talking about, you don't want to die." Besides, without them, I'd be given to that old thing right now...... You have to thank people and don't say bad things. ”

The Zhuang clan is distributed in the surrounding villages in each room, and with the sound of the gong, people are coming to the long house of the house one after another. With so many people, naturally they couldn't be arranged in the compound, so they simply set up the trial location in the field. Hundreds of stakes were driven into the ground, and a man was tied to each stake.

There are not only Zhuang Zhifei's own house disciples, but also the family's nursing home, teaching, stewardship, account room, etc. Among the female dependents, there was only one Mrs. Zhuang, and no one else was included. Sunlight is very poisonous, even if there is no external force, just simple exposure, it is not something that ordinary people can bear.

At first, the tenants were only in twos and threes, watching from a distance, and soon they realized that it was not the bandits who came to open a large household, but the regular army. Including the strongest local armed security group, they have also openly sided with the big handsome, so there are more and more bold people, and the number of onlookers has gradually increased.

Among the children of the Zhuang clan, there are indeed many young descendants, but there is a lack of effective organization, and no one mobilizes them to attack the official army. Some spontaneously rushed inside, shouting "Protect the Patriarch". But no sooner had the man taken a few steps forward than the soldiers had already opened fire.

The first row of guns was fired into the sky, and the descendants of the Zhuang family had seen more of this kind of thing, and they were not frightened, but rushed faster. Guarding the Dharma field has been a rule since ancient times, but you can only shoot and intimidate you in the sky, otherwise you can beat it with the butt of a gun.

There are many children of the Zhuang family, as long as they pounce on it and snatch the patriarch out, it is nothing to take a few rifle butts. It's a big deal that someone will come out to take the sin in the future, and it is always important to keep the patriarch first. But I didn't want to, those young and impulsive juniors, before they ran a few steps, the second row of guns went off.

The soldiers did not seem to be afraid of killing, and this row of guns was fired horizontally. The banker's son, holding his arm, rushed forward and became an excellent target. When a row of guns fired, the people fell to the ground, and the wounded but not dead lay on the ground, making a snort.

The rest of the children have a lot of fights and brawls on weekdays, and they are not a bad breed who are afraid of blood. But it was the first time I saw that the soldiers really dared to kill people, and they were all stunned and at a loss, and they felt that it was inappropriate to advance and retreat.

The soldiers in charge of the guard reloaded very quickly, and by this time they had reloaded their guns and raised their rifles again, and the second row, the third row, and the rows of guns were raised flat, ready to shoot.

Some of the soldiers took out their hand bullets, ready to throw them into the crowd. These soldiers are not locals, have no interests with the local area, and there is no such thing as inseparable. As long as an order is given, the matter of slaughtering the village and exterminating the clan will be completely done. Several clan elders of the Zhuang family have to consider a very realistic problem at this time, with unarmed young and strong, to fight against armed soldiers, what will be the result?

"We ...... We have to keep our ancestral graves! A clan elder lamented weakly, a cavalry of suspicious identities, numbering a hundred, had already advanced in the direction of the ancestral tomb of the Zhuang family, which was most likely a harbinger of digging graves. The young and strong descendants, between the living and the ancestors, most of them chose the latter, carrying weapons, and went to guard the ancestral tombs.

After lunch, nearly 10,000 people gathered in the fields, including men, women and children, and even the gray-haired old people had to come to see this rare bustle in a hundred years with the support of their children and grandchildren.

A slash of grass was placed on the ground, and behind Zhao Guanhou, there was a red umbrella of the pre-Jin era, the governor's guard of honor, and Hannah sat side by side with him, with an extremely serious expression on his face.

Seeing that people were almost coming, Zhao Guanhou raised his horn and opened his voice and said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I am Zhao Guanhou, who is the overseer and chief of civil affairs in Shandong, the Jiangbei patrol envoy, and the commander of the Fifth Division of the Zhongyang Army. This northern Jiangsu is my jurisdiction, in other words, what you have on your heads is the sky of my Zhao someone, and what you step on is the land of my Zhao someone. I have the final say in this place, and I will set the rules here! (To be continued.) )
