Dapu County Ya, the history of this county government is also long enough. In ancient times, it has always been popular to use iron-beaten county officials, and county officials who run water will not pay for the construction of county offices. However, fifteen years ago, the Qing army invaded Guangdong, and the county government here also suffered and had to be rebuilt, so the county government here looks pretty good.

At this time, the county magistrate Wang and Officer Tao were questioning Han Biao. Han Biao rushed to send Han Ling'er and Han Hu home, but because his family lived outside the city, it still took a little time on the road. When he arrived at the county office, Officer Tao also transported forty or fifty large boxes from the Zhu family's compound back to the county office.

County Magistrate Wang also just learned about this matter, but he was very happy, this matter was very helpful for him to complete the task, so he immediately took over in person and asked Director Tao to assist. What the two of them want to ask in the county government is, of course, the usual evil behavior of the Zhu family. Han Biao is a local person, he usually sees a lot of things, even if he hasn't seen many things, he has heard of them, after all, Dapu County is so big, and the total population is only 60,000. In the 21st century, the number of people under the jurisdiction of a sub-district office in a city is about the same. If you put it in a top big city, there are so many people in a few large communities.

Therefore, Han Biao told everything he had seen and heard about inside and outside the city, one by one. I talked about it for more than an hour, and it wasn't until the sun went down that I was about to finish.

Thankfully, he's done. Otherwise, Officer Tao was ready to interrupt his rambling. "Han Biao. In two days, we will have a public trial of the Zhu family. It's to pull out into the street and announce their crimes to the big guys. Of course, in addition to the Zhu family, there are several other big families who are rich and unkind. Our Mawei Army has a system, and someone must testify to their crimes before they can be convicted, and if no one dares to testify against them, they can only be punished as not guilty. Therefore, do you dare to tell the story of your family being oppressed by the Zhu family in front of everyone. ”

Han Biao immediately said without hesitation: "Dare." Of course you dare! As long as you are willing to support us, I dare to say it, even if I go to the palace Jinluan Treasure Hall and see the emperor, I dare to say the same. He didn't know that the Mawei Army was against the emperor in his mouth, so he said it directly, but his meaning was already very clear.

When County Magistrate Wang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, you have the guts." You have to think about everything you want to say these days. Don't be stage frightened. By the way, there's one more thing you need help with. ”

"Sir, please speak. The villain must do it! ”

"The family persecuted by the Zhu family is not your family, can you contact other people's families and persuade them to testify together? Also, can you notify those who have been bullied by these big families before the county government trial, and let them come out to testify? County Magistrate Wang looked at Han Biao with a smile and said.

"Yes, yes! A neighbor who moved to the city to open a cloth shop was also a cloth shop in the city, so he came to my neighbor's leg and is still recuperating at home. If you want to die, you will also arrest that Jiang Yuanwai, he will definitely be willing to come out and testify. Han Biao nodded busily.

"The Jiang Yuanwai you mentioned is the one in the west of the city, if it were him, he would indeed be arrested!" Officer Tao is in charge of this matter, which is relatively clear, so he said.

"That's right, that's right, it's him!"

"Okay, then it's hard for you, try to mobilize the people to come out and correct them, so that we can justify these wicked people. And we can guarantee that you will not have to worry about reprisals in the future. Well, the time is almost up, now follow Officer Tao to get your family's title deed, it should have been found! After hearing this, County Magistrate Wang was also very happy, because he was originally from ordinary people, and he knew their timid and cowardly character, and they would definitely be happy if the Mawei Army defeated these wealthy and powerful families who caused trouble, but it was difficult to find a few for them to stand up and expose the crimes of these people. To use a phrase they have learned before, it is called low consciousness, and now it is rare that a person with high consciousness has come out now, and he is willing to take the initiative to help, which is a great help to him.

He himself knows that the people follow the crowd, and as long as there is a leader, someone will immediately follow. Therefore, in order to let Han Biao willingly take the initiative to cooperate, he hurriedly ordered Officer Tao to take Han Biao to get back his title deed.

The next day, the whole city already knew what happened yesterday, and also knew who was in charge of Dapu County now. The posters on the streets clearly stated that the Mawei Army had taken over Dapu County, and also recorded the policies of the Mawei Army. With the Mawei Army's style of not committing any crimes in the past two days, it also made the people in the city feel a lot more at ease. In recent years, as one of the counties closest to Fujian in Guangdong Province, there have been frequent exchanges with neighboring Yongding County, and a small number of people have gone to the starting point town to find work. Therefore, many people in Dapu County have some understanding of the style of the Mawei Army.

By the morning of the third day, before the dew had dried, tens of thousands of people had gathered at the North Tower. Dapu County is a small city, the buildings in the city are very compact, there is no large open space, and the space at the city gate is large enough. In the meantime, the space at the north gate is the largest. Today is the day of the public trial, and after a day of publicity, and dozens of leaders of the evil forces in the original city were escorted here, attracting and gathering a large number of people. Most of the people in the city knew that the Zhu family father and son were going to be executed in public today, and most of these people came to see how to judge the Zhu family father and son.

"Come up, come up!" The sharp-eyed people under the city shouted loudly.

Sure enough, I saw that the row of "black bosses" who were kneeling had been pulled to the back, but now kneeling on the city tower were a group of people from the Zhu family, in addition to the Zhu family's father and son, there were also several of their main minions. Each of them was tied up with flowers, and wore high-pointed hats of colorful papier-mΓ’chΓ©. There is a wooden plaque hanging from his chest. Write each person's name. At the same time, there are derogatory terms such as "bully", "villain", "dog-legged", "dog-headed military advisor", etc., and then they are forced to kneel in a row. These methods were not taught by Geng Jingzhong, but were originally thought up by the people below in the criticism meeting.

After being detained and starved for more than a day, this cadre was full of anger, and even Zhu Dafu, who had the biggest temper, softened a lot and knelt on the ground honestly. Seeing the characters who were usually flying and domineering in the past, their eyes were on the top of their heads, and they couldn't even wait to walk sideways, but now they are all discouraged. Shaped like a clown, each ass pouted and kneeling on the ground wolf bèi. Laughter immediately erupted from the crowd, and at first a few people were laughing, but soon the laughter infected everyone and turned into a burst of laughter.

County Magistrate Wang Tao and several people also stood aside, but Qin Qiong, Zhang Hu and others were gone. Early yesterday morning, Qin Qiong had already led the two hundred soldiers of their first division to Meizhou to make peace with the large army, and this Dapu County was left to the new army to garrison. Since this Dapu County is close to Yongding County in Longyan, Longyan will send people to organize people to repair the main road between the two counties, and the follow-up new army will continue to march into Guangdong. And this Dapu County is a forward base in the north.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the newly appointed magistrate of Dapu County, the former military governor of Xingming. That is, it is equivalent to the original county order, but our Mawei Army does not call it that. In the future, when the big guy sees me on the street, he can call me the county magistrate Wang, which means the head of a county. It's not that I'm older than you, but I'll be responsible for everything in the county in the future! County Magistrate Wang stood on the city tower and said loudly to more than 10,000 people. When the people heard that the leader began to speak, they all closed their mouths and pricked up their ears very quietly to listen.

"The governor of the capital heard about the situation in Dapu County in Fujian, where small nights are rampant in the county, and the big households are rich and unkind, and the people are cruel and harmful. The county officials were greedy and looted the people's money. Therefore, he specially sent his Mawei army to rescue Er and others. Now, these bullies have all been arrested by the Ponytail Army, and they will soon be put on trial, in which their crimes will be announced, their ugly faces will be exposed, and finally the canonical punishment will be revealed! ”

"The three people kneeling in front of everyone now must not need me to introduce more, Zhu Dafu, the eldest master of the Zhu family, and his two sons, Zhu Mao and Zhu Sheng. After investigation, the father and son of the Zhu family have embezzled more than 20 cases of other people's property in the past ten years, resulting in more than 10 deaths. There were even six cases of forcibly robbing women, resulting in three people hanging themselves. Now, let's start announcing the crimes committed by the Zhu family's father and son and calling witnesses! ”

As soon as County Magistrate Wang finished saying a few words, Officer Tao next to him took a step forward. In the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, Zhu Dafu colluded with Wu Wenyuan, the county commander at that time, to slander the Li family in the west of the city for hiding anti-Qing righteous people, and then seized the Li family's property

In the fourth year of Kangxi, Zhu Dafu conspired with his second son Zhu Sheng to collude with bandits to rob the porcelain merchant Sima Wei, the caravan was plundered, and the Sima family was in debt, and then the industry was embezzled at a low price, and Sima Wei fell ill and died that month

Ten days ago, Zhu Wu, the third son of the Zhu family, coveted the Han family's tea garden outside the city, and the superiors forcibly grabbed the land deed, forced the Han family woman to death, and captured the Han family's daughter, Han Ling'er, in a vain attempt to occupy the tea garden in the name of marrying a concubine and collecting a dowry. Fortunately, the Mawei Army rescued Han Ling'er and returned the Han family's land deed. ”

Officer Tao carefully announced the crimes of the Zhu family's father and son one by one, and the people below immediately knew that what they had read was true based on what they had heard. After Tao finished reading each article, almost one or two witnesses would come forward, most of these people were persuaded by Han Biao, originally they didn't dare to come to the Zhu family for revenge, after all, the strength of the Zhu family was there! There are also a few who, like Han Biao, have never given up revenge, and took the initiative to find the Mawei Army after seeing the notice.

After Tao finished reading, the time for these bitter lords to complain is up. More than a dozen families said one by one, but it didn't take much effort, and in less than half an hour, everyone finished speaking. The last person to speak was of course Han Biao, what happened to his family just happened, but he was the most excited. In the end, thinking of the tragic death of his wife, it was even more sad, and the tough guy also left tears and cried.

Among the people in the audience, many people knew what happened to Han Biao, after all, Zhu Wu wanted to marry a concubine, which was a big deal in Dapu County. And although some people don't know, but there are similar situations to Han Biao, so Han Biao's speech has caused a lot of resonance among the people, at the beginning of Shimata, some people laughed, but then no one laughed anymore, and the atmosphere began to change. In the entire county, there are not a few who have been bullied by the Zhu family, but they are not as miserable as Han Biao and others, but they all have the same result, that is, they dare not speak out, and when Han Biao cried, the crowd did not know who shouted: "Kill them!" ”

Then I don't know who it was, I threw out a piece of rotten gang, and with a "pop" sound, it didn't hit the city tower, but it hit the city wall, making a "pop" sound, which was very clear in this quiet scene. At this moment, the people's feelings were immediately aroused, and at the scene, the Mawei Army had already placed a few baskets of rotten leaves, rotten eggs and other garbage items under the orders of County Magistrate Wang. Of course, the common people didn't care where these things came from, and as soon as they saw someone taking the lead, they immediately grabbed a handful from it and threw it at a cadre of the Zhu family. And scrambling, first afraid that he didn't catch it.

The people of the Zhu family were all tied, it was difficult to move, and there were many things thrown over, although most of them were smashed on the city wall, but there were still a lot of strong ones, and they threw rotten eggs on the city tower four or five meters high, and smashed them on the Zhu family. As a result, everyone in the Zhu family was hit several times, and a lot of garbage items were glued, and they looked very wolf. And the people were laughing happily while throwing and beating. Fortunately, County Magistrate Wang and others are some distance away from the Zhu family's father and son, otherwise they would really be affected.

When they got to the back, some people saw that the garbage in the basket was almost thrown away, so some people began to pick up stones and throw them, and when the county magistrate Wang saw it, he hurriedly ordered to stop the situation from further expanding. Because there were recruits and soldiers below to maintain order, the situation was quickly brought under control. However, even if it was stopped in time, several members of the Zhu family were stoned a few times, and Zhu Dafu himself was broken in the head, bleeding profusely. (To be continued......)
