Chapter 246: Soldiers Descend on the City
The next day, the state issued a reply and closed the case according to the situation reported by the county. Because Hongyan was very successful in falsifying the scene, except for Yang Qiuchi and Liu Ruobing, no one knew the truth, and the case was closed.
Hong Aya and Yang Qiuchi were together for two nights in a row, so happy that they didn't know how to get better. I was in a good mood, and after the neck injury was recuperated and rested, I slowly recovered.
Yang Qiuchi was always worried about Yun Qiuchi's case, and took the time to interrogate him twice, but as a result, Yun Qiu gave him a cold look, and Yun Tianqing gave him a scolding scolding, which made Yang Qiuchi so angry that he almost hit the wall with his head, regretting that he was troublesome.
The day of the execution has finally come, and from this day on, Qin Zhihui will be bed. Early in the morning, when Yang Qiuchi was still sleeping with Qin Zhihui in her arms, the little maid Yuechan ran in in a panic and woke Yang Qiuchi up: "Young master, it's terrible, the officials outside came to report that there were a lot of Miao people gathered at the entrance of the yamen, holding hoes and kitchen knives and the like, and the officials came to ask what to do." ”
Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, did the Miao people really want to storm the Yamen and rob the prison? Or is it a robbery? I don't know how Mr. Zhao is prepared. This rosacea slapped his chest and beat the guarantee, if something happens to this prisoner, it will be over.
Got up and put on his official robe, Yang Qiuchi hurried out of the inner office before he had time to wash. When he came to the yamen with Nangong Xiong and other guards, he saw that although there were many officers and soldiers in the yamen, they all had a look of panic on their faces, and the gate was closed, and there were loud noises outside.
Zhao Jiang's face was already frightened, and when he saw Yang Qiuchi, he hurriedly ran over and said, "Lord Yang, the Miao people from all over the country have gathered in the county seat, what should I do?" ”
Yang Qiuchi nodded, first find out the situation, he climbed up to the yamen and looked at the drum tower.
This drum tower is built in the entrance of the yamen, although it is called the drum tower, but the hanging on it is a large gong. In the event of an emergency such as a fire, the public will immediately sound a warning and notify the water dragon team and the public to go to fight the fire.
Yang Qiuchi climbed the drum tower and looked down, and was startled again, only to see a sea of people outside the yamen, afraid that there were thousands of people, all of them were Miao people dressed in Miao clothes, and many of them were holding axes, sickles, flat shoulders and the like.
Yang Qiuchi hurriedly got down the tower and asked Mr. Zhao: "Why did so many Miao people suddenly come silently!" Lord Zhao, how many generals do you have? ”
Zhao Jiang always knew that if this matter was not handled well today, his black gauze hat would not only be lost, but he might also lose his head, and his voice couldn't help but tremble a little: "There are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of Zhenyuanwei and the neighboring Biqiao Guard, but they are mainly concentrated in Pingxi, Qinglang, Shibing and other prefectures, counties, districts, and forts, and the defenders of Qingxi County are only two or three hundred, and I have almost brought them." ”
Yang Qiuchi's heart sank, two or three hundred people, plus the Yamen Minzhuang and his own escort team, at best four or five hundred people, and now there are thousands of Miao people outside the Yamen alone, they must be outnumbered, and asked, "How about we ask for reinforcements now?" ”
"I've thought about it too, but it's too late!" General Zhao was nervous and scared again, his round rosacea turned even redder, "It will take at least a day or two for the nearest troops from here to arrive here!" ”
Yang Qiuchi's head slammed, thinking about what to do, and asked, "Has Miao Zhong already rebelled?" ”
"That's not yet, they just asked that their village owner be released and retry Yun Su's case, insisting that Yun Su was framed."
Yang Qiuchi's heart relaxed a little, and there was still a chance to turn around before he openly rebelled.
What to do? Yang Qiuchi's head turned quickly, retreated, and released Yun Tianqing? Absolutely not! In that case, not only will your prestige be discredited, but you will have the face to mix up here, and it would be a crime to release criminals privately. -for-tat? What's more, if they are outnumbered, they will definitely intensify the contradictions, and even force them to rebel eventually, and then it will be all over.
Overcome rigidity with softness, and use Yun Tianqing, the owner of Miao Village, to force Miao people not to dare to mess around? However, this Miao man must eat soft rather than hard, if he is forced, this little old man will be killed by a headlong collision, and he will be finished.
It seems that only outwitting!
Yang Qiuchi instructed Xia Ping to strengthen vigilance, formulate a plan to protect the relatives to break through and evacuate, and hurriedly rushed to the Yuntianqing prison room of the Yamen prison with Nangong Xiong and other guards.
Yun Tianqing had already heard the commotion like a tide outside, and he already knew from the shouting Miao language that it was the Miao people from the Miao villages everywhere who came. Seeing Yang Qiuchi coming in, Yun Tianqing sneered: "Dog officer, I said, if you dare to kill my son, we won't let you have a good life, do you believe it now?" ”
Yang Qiuchi also said coldly: "I'm here to tell you the consequences of doing this!" ”
Yun Tianqing said: "What consequences? If you release people, there will be no consequences, and if you don't release them, you will all die without a place to be buried! ”
"So, are you going to lead the Miao people to rebel?" Yang Qiuchi first commanded his army.
Yun Tianqing was stunned: "Who wants to rebel?" Don't spew blood! ”
"You gathered so many Miao people in front of the yamen, trying to storm the yamen and forcibly demanding death row prisoners, isn't this a robbery of the law field and a rebellion?"
Of course, Yun Tianqing knew what the consequences of rebellion were, and said: "This ......, my son was wronged by you, we just need to return to my son, we don't want to rebel." Don't wronged us! ”
"Good! Since you don't plan to rebel, let Miao Zhong retreat! Otherwise, we can only think that you are rebelling! ”
Yun Tianqing sneered: "What's wrong with rebellion and rebellion? It's not like we Miao people haven't done it, you framed my son and wanted to cut off my son's head, this is called official coercion and civil rebellion! Let me tell you, if you don't let my son go, don't even think of leaving alive! ”
Yang Qiuchi laughed and pointed to the six personal guards who followed behind him: "Do you know who they are?" They are the elite of the Jinyi Guard and the Ouchi guards, and there are a total of sixty such guards in my yamen! Do you know who I am? Yang Qiuchi took out the waist card of the Jinyi Guard's envoy, and then said: "I am the Jinyi Guard's envoy envoy - you may not know what kind of official this is, but you must know now that I, the envoy, have the privilege of cutting first and then playing!" ”
Yun Tianqing was a little surprised, and his neck was horizontal: "So what?" ”
The voice outside was getting louder and louder, Yang Qiuchi didn't want to be verbose with him, and said bluntly: "I'm telling you this, just to know that I want to break through safely from here, it's as easy as a snap!" However, if you gather a crowd to rebel, I will cut off your and your son's heads before I break through. Once I break through, I will immediately mobilize tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from Zhenyuanwei and Biqiaowei to come to encircle and suppress you, and flatten your entire Miao Village! Believe it or not?! ”
Yun Tianqing's body shook slightly, and his voice was slightly lowered: "Yun Tianqing is not a person who is afraid of death!" ”
"It doesn't matter if you're not afraid of death, for the sake of your son, can you bear to have hundreds of seedlings die with you? If your son has a life, will he need the surnames of thousands of Miao people to be martyred for him? ”
Yang Qiuchi shouted, and pointed out with his hand: "Your boss is not small, you should know the bloody battle in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, you must have seen with your own eyes how many Miao people's heads fell to the ground, how many Miao villages were bloody, how many wives were scattered, and families were ruined!" Do you want this tragedy to happen again? As the owner of Miao Village, you let so many people die for your son, how can you bear it? ”
The sneer on Yun Tianqing's face slowly disappeared, he lowered his head and thought about it, and muttered, "I didn't call them here, they did it voluntarily!" ”
Yang Qiuchi was really angry now, and scolded: "Damn! Those Miao people are going to die for you, and you fucking have to let them die for you? After a pause, he pointed to Yun Tianqing and said, "Okay!" Okay, you're a selfish pig and a dog! Then watch your people spill their bones and blood for your son's sake! "Turn around and go.
"Wait!" Yun Tianqing shouted.
Yang Qiuchi stopped, turned around slowly, and looked at Yun Tianqing coldly.
Yun Tianqing thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "My lord is right, I shouldn't have asked my clansmen to be martyred for my son. However, I can tell them to retreat, but I hope you don't kill my son for the time being, I believe that my son was really wronged, and I hope you will re-investigate this case. ”
Yang Qiuchi said: "I have interrogated you several times, but you don't cooperate, and you can't come up with evidence that you have been wronged. So, I'm sorry, and besides, I'm not here to make a deal with you right now, I can't promise you. I will be beheaded according to the law, and I will not wait for the time. ”
Yun Tianqing's expression darkened, pondered for a moment, and sighed: "Okay, I can't let so many people die for my son." I told them to stand down. ”
Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was silent at all, and he hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Yunzhai Lord for thinking about thousands of living beings, this party shows your true colors as the master of a village." ”
Yun Tianqing said coldly: "This matter is not over, I will find out who framed my son, I will kill his whole family and give my son his life!" ”
Yang Qiuchi nodded: "If it can indeed be proved in the future that your son was indeed wronged, we will also arrest the real culprit and rehabilitate Zhaoxue for your son." At the same time, in order to prevent stimulating the emotions of the Miao people, he ordered the wooden shackles around Yun Tianqing's neck to be removed, only shackles, and escorted to the drum tower in front of the yamen.
Yun Tianqing went up to the drum tower, he was short, and the Miao people below hadn't noticed him. Yun Tianqing shouted angrily, picked up the mallet on the drum tower, and when the gong was struck, the Miao people downstairs saw Yun Tianqing, and immediately cheered, shouting something in Miao language.
Yun Tianqing raised his hands high, and also said in Miao language, and heard the Miao people below talking about it.
Yang Qiuchi hurriedly asked Chang Fu, the follower behind him, what did the owner of Miao Village say. Chang Fu said: "He ordered the Miao people to immediately return to the townships and villages, and they were not allowed to stay in the county seat, otherwise they would be punished by clan rules." ”
