Chapter 114: Xing Baihu is thick and fine
There are more than 600 miles from Jiujiang to Anlu, and the displaced people travel 30 or 40 miles a day, and it takes more than half a month to reach Anlu.
At the beginning, just to beg for food, Jiangxi has been flooded for three consecutive years, and the people really have no way to live, so they can only beg for food.
We don't know how the team got together, originally everyone's goal was Huguang, which is close to Jiujiang, and the goal is not certain, and the left and right are Wuchang Mansion, Hanyang Mansion, and Changsha Mansion. But then I somehow got the news, saying that Huguang was also flooded this year, and there was no harvest of early rice grains in these places, and everyone wanted to ask for a way to live, so they could only go to those places that were not plagued by natural disasters this summer.
Some villagers who went out to escape their lives talked about the good things in Shaanxi, saying that there are few people there, and the land rent is several percent lower than that in Jiangnan. He also said that there is a lot of cotton land in Henan, and there is a shortage of weavers, so it is very easy to get to work.
The homeless people are proletarians, and the best way out is to become tenants. If there is a shortage of labor at home, they want to go to work.
After hearing too many lies, they became the truth, and the displaced people who had no goal of going to the place also had hope, so they went to Shaanxi and Henan.
Therefore, even if those people who were released back last night instigated in all directions and said that the Anlu checkpoint was very dangerous, they did not divert three adults, and more people chose to continue to go north.
After being influenced by the bandits for two months, not everyone is good among the common people who have seen the wealth brought by burning, killing and looting. Those young and strong men have such and such thoughts.
The bandits eat meat, they drink soup. After drinking the soup, you will think about the meat, and this is the human heart.
Although most of them had not participated in the previous money-burning robberies, what they had seen and heard in the past few days had aroused the evil in their hearts.
There are already many people rubbing their fists and trying to find an opportunity to do a vote when passing by the county. As long as you make a ticket and change places, you will be an uncle, and you will be able to eat, drink and have fun.
They have hidden ghosts in their hearts, so they can't go to the checkpoint to verify their identities openly like other homeless people. Because of their concern, they have long noticed that there is something wrong with those men who have been mixed with the homeless.
Therefore, when they saw the dead bodies hanging at the level, they were horrified, and tried their best to pretend to be calm, for fear that the slightest inappropriate appearance would be exposed and they would be regarded as accomplices.
Arrived here at dusk, half an hour passed, the team only passed one-fifth of the card, and more than 4,000 people were still stranded outside the checkpoint.
The people waiting behind were all impetuous.
I saw a few familiar old men, who were among the homeless villagers, coming from the checkpoint, shouting as they walked: "There are neighbors and villagers who are guarantors, and women and children pass first." ”
A man was impatient and said to an old man in his village: "Uncle Haizi, it's dark when you see it this day, and you can't go to the village in front of you, and you can't find a store in the future." What the hell are you looking for? ”
Uncle Haizi didn't answer immediately, looked around, and said in a low voice: "The case of Dazhi and Huanggang, as well as the massacre outside Xiaogan City yesterday, this killing is too big, and it alarmed the lord above." Thousands of officers and soldiers set up cards just to catch the murderers. ”
The man frowned at first, then disagreed. This news is really not news, and the boys who went back last night also said the same thing, and changed their direction in fright, not daring to go north along the official road again.
The old man saw his thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Dacheng, I just took a look, something is wrong. Women and children, the old and the weak, interrogated their places of origin and their whereabouts, and the young and strong were all taken care of alone. ”
The man was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle child is saying?" ”
Uncle Haizi said: "Dacheng, you better hide, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." If the government is black-hearted and wants to arrest people for the crime, wouldn't it be wronged......"
The man frowned and said, "I didn't kill anyone, what is there to hide, can they still frame people for no reason?" ”
Uncle Haizi said: "But you stole the donkey of the Sanlenzi family, and also kicked the people of the Zhao widow's family. During the previous investigation, if there were people from the same village, the government asked the villagers about the bad deeds, and made a special trip to make them remember. If the government really arrests you and apologizes, then the two families take a bite, will you still have your life......
The same conversation is taking place elsewhere in the diaspora.
When it was dark, almost all the displaced people got the news from beginning to end, knowing that thousands of officers and soldiers were dispatched for several extermination cases that occurred a few days ago, as well as the slaughter of Zhengjiazhuang yesterday morning. If you can catch the murderer, if you can't catch it, I'm afraid that you will take the young and strong to blame, and if there are young and strong people in the family, you should be careful, and the provincial ones will be used as "scapegoats". Thousands of officers and men have set up cards, and they can't always be busy.
Hearing this, many people trembled.
Although these homeless people have seen several cases of extermination along the way, they are all rich people who are rich and unkind, and they are all robbed of those people's money and food.
Zhengjiazhuang, but it was an accident, and most of the people there were just ordinary people.
Most of the homeless people stayed outside the village, thinking that it was just an ordinary passing, but after dawn, the small Zhuangzi, which was quiet and peaceful yesterday, was already full of devastation and became a grave.
The fuse was that someone raped the village chief's daughter-in-law, and the village chief's son set fire to avenge his daughter-in-law, but the fire broke out and injured several people.
Then, the entire Zhuangzi was slaughtered, and no chickens and dogs remained.
Even if you don't understand the law, you know that such a big case is a dead ...... Lu Song looked back in the direction of An Luzhou and breathed a sigh of relief.
There are more than 1,000 displaced people who have been registered and checked, and eight adults have said where they are going. He had already sent someone back to Anlu City to report the matter to the prince.
Even if there is a place to go, it is good to escort them out of the Anlu Prefecture, and the originally agreed plan to lead these people to the river valley plain for cash-for-work can be changed one or two, and there is no need to increase the burden on the palace and the local yamen and cause trouble for the prince.
Thinking of this, he looked south again.
How many people will be left tomorrow morning? I didn't expect Xing Baihu, a big old man, to have such a careful time. Even if those people went back to spread the word last night, they were in a hurry, and if they came out again in front of the checkpoint this morning, they would be timid and would have to think of retreating.
It's dark, and someone in front of the checkpoint is raising his voice, saying that today's investigation is here, everyone will rest in place, and continue to check tomorrow morning.
Although there are many complaints among the homeless, they dare not choke with the official.
The fourth team is still in the Xilin Boundary Monument, but it has been grouped, Chen Chizhong and a small banner, each with five people, pay attention to the movements of the homeless. The others were divided into two shifts, shifts before and after night, and they were on guard in the forest.
Wanderers who want to wrap around the card appear.
Hey? What's the situation? Either an old man or an old lady? This old arm and legs, touching the black drill woods? With no one to support him, it's hard to say that he can get here, and he was obviously pushed out to explore the way.
Everyone scolded and drove people back, and Xing Baihu called a small flag to shout. What kind of court pursues felons, everyone wants to pass the card must be light tomorrow, pass from the road, you have to verify your identity one by one, before you can pass the card, and the person who breaks the card and bypasses the card will die.
Dao idiot, Lu Bing, and Hu Tou did not escape this time, they were arranged to be on duty in a small team, and when they were on duty at night, they were replaced and rested.
Thousands of displaced people are in front of them, and no one can guarantee it.
Xing Baihu didn't dare to tell them to go far, so he ordered everyone to rest in front of him.
The idiot took the tiger head and Lu Bing to find a flat place to lie down, but the mosquitoes flew around, where could they sleep.
Lu Bing couldn't sleep because he slept during the day. There is only a tiger's head, with rough skin and thick flesh and no heart and lungs, and he fell asleep after a while.
Lu Bing said in a low voice: "Second brother, when can I go back to the palace?" I'm all spoiled. ”
When Chen Chizhong and Xing Baihu passed the news from Lu Song's side, the Taoist idiot was next to him, so he knew that the displaced people intended to continue north.
In that case, everyone is not done yet, and these displaced people will be "escorted" out of Anlu, and they will cause chaos in Anlu Province.
Now they are just south of Anlu, more than 40 miles away from Anlu Prefecture City, and if they want to cross the territory of Anlu from north to south, they need to travel more than 70 miles, and the speed of the displaced people needs to walk for two days.
Looking at the posture of the level, it would be good if these people could check it tomorrow.
And so, three days.
Thinking of this, the Taoist idiot couldn't stand it anymore. Those who should have been trained have already been experienced, and those who should have seen have also been seen, and the rest of the escort and the like, they don't have much point to follow.
Thinking of this, the Taoist idiot said: "If tomorrow is peaceful, things will be about the same." You ask Lord Lu for an errand back to the city, and ask the prince what he means. Liu Sanlang's marriage is these two days, even if he can't go, he should send someone to the ward. ”
When Lu Bing heard this, he immediately came to his senses and said: "It is exactly, when you are a classmate, you always have to go to congratulate you, and the friendship of the province hurts." Even His Highness, on his side, will be sympathetic to us. ”
Dao idiot smiled, don't talk about friendship or non-friendship for the time being, as long as you have a reason to go back to the city.
There was the sound of mosquitoes swatting all around, as well as the sound of scolding mothers.
A few lieutenants couldn't help it, got up and went to cut some branches, gathered them and lit them with smoked mosquitoes. Seeing this, Lu Bing also dragged the idiot to follow suit.
I lit a handful and put it in front of me, and sure enough, the smoke was full of smoke and the mosquitoes were greatly reduced, but it was also so smoked that people couldn't open their eyes and tears flowed.
A few school captains came over, and if Xing Baihu said something, he told everyone to be careful of the open flames.
The Taoist idiot shed tears, tossing and turning, until the east became white, and then fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up, there was no change on the side of the four teams, and it was still two steamed buns per person for breakfast. Chen Chizhong brought back good news, last night many homeless people dragged their families to leave in the dark, and now the number of people waiting to be verified outside the checkpoint has changed from more than 4,000 to more than 2,000.
Xing Baihu listened, just nodded, and waved his hand to ask Chen Chizhong to go south to inform Lu Bing.
The Taoist idiot could see that Xing Baihu's demeanor had changed at that moment. It's like the strings that were originally taut have suddenly loosened. Not only Xing Baihu is like this, isn't it the same for Taoist idiots?
It seems that the number of more than 5,000 people, how can there be no pressure? Even if the guards have weapons in their hands, they really want to cause civil unrest, and even if they can be suppressed in the end, the process will be tragic.
At present, there are thousands of guards and more than 3,000 displaced people, one to three, even if there is really chaos, the government guards can be impeached.
However, judging from the current situation, the Jiangxi bandits among the displaced people are gone, and those unstable elements are also gone, and most of the remaining women and children are old and weak, and they can't make any trouble.
The danger is over......
