Section 071 Conspiracy, Conspiracy!
The decision that Shiramei Crane wants to sabotage the prefect's plan, that is to say, to work against the prefect, is a nervous decision.
But it has to be supported.
Du Shuangyu and others know very well that if the county order of Bai Minghe can't win back the hearts of the people of Hepu County, this county order will come to an end, and a county order without the people is nothing.
The night before the prefect of Qian decided to cut the knife, the people who had blended in with the chaos finally returned.
"Your Excellency."
"It's hard work, let's go have some hot rice first. No matter how anxious you are, take a break, and then report in detail. "I can't help but say that Bai Minghe is still good to these soldiers, and they followed Bai Minghe to Hepu, just believing that they can mix a good background for the future.
After eating and drinking a bowl of wine to warm up, these spies sat in front of the white crane.
"My lord, the former county magistrate of Hepu County is dead. It was a suicide, and the little one didn't understand why the report of the Qian Governor's Mansion was an escape. It's a pity that there is no evidence, and now the body is estimated to have been pulled into the sea by the boat, and it must not be found. The first person spoke, and Shirakawaru believed that this was definitely a very useful piece of information.
"It's okay, keep talking about other information!"
"If you go back to your lordship, it first happened in November last year. The prefect of Lianzhou Qian ordered fifty catties of pearls. When entering the water in winter, the pearl people are unwilling. But the Zhumin were reluctant to go to the sea in winter, and later the Zhuguan led people to arrest about 200 people in Hepu County, and asked the Zhumin to use the beads to change people. ”
Bai Minghe's brows furrowed, this is tyranny!
The spy continued: "The pearl people are untouchables, and they have been untouchables for generations. They are also not allowed to leave the village where they live. The old and young in the family were arrested, and they had no choice but to go to the sea to dive pearls. More than 600 taels of pearls were collected, frozen to death, and 24 people were killed by fierce fish. Forty people were wounded, sixteen of whom vomited blood! ”
Shira-naka probably understood that diving on its own can cause harm to people due to water pressure.
The pearl official thought that the beads were too small, and most of them were the size of rice grains, so he asked to pick them again. In the shallow part of the bead pool, there are beads but no beads. If you want to get a big pearl at depth, you have to dive 700 feet, and you can hardly dive to such a depth in winter. Of the fifty people who went to sea, only two came back alive, and got twenty taels of pearls, two of which were large pearls. ”
As soon as he heard that forty-eight people had died, Bai Minghe was a little moved.
Zhu Guan was also dissatisfied, and put a flail on the people who were arrested, and in three days, twenty-three people died of the old and weak. Many young people from Zhumin villages in Hepu County killed Zhuguan and rescued some of the people who were arrested. The former Hepu County Commander took people there, and more than 10 people were killed on the spot, and the county magistrate also died on the spot. ”
Shiraname Crane nodded, this was actually the standard of riots.
Killing officials, that is, riots, has reached the point of sending troops to suppress it.
According to the villagers, it was after this that the prefectural order committed suicide. Then everyone in the county government fled, and they were afraid of being punished! ”
Speaking of which, the white crane basically figured it out.
The county order escaped, and all the sins could be carried by the Hepu county order. The county ordered suicide, so why commit suicide, there must always be an explanation, who forced him to die. The prefect of Qian didn't dare to say that the county order was beaten to death by the mob, so the political secretary and the yamen would interrogate, which was the crime of rioting.
"My lord, the two lifters in this county, as well as the two lifters in Qinzhou, united a few showmen and jointly went to the prefect's yamen, in fact, they just wanted to petition and settle the matter. As a result, he was arrested, and the little one also found out that the family members of the four lifters had disappeared. ”
Shiramei Crane nodded vigorously.
"This official probably guessed what tricks this Qian prefect was going to play, and he was really a ruthless person. If, our people have to find a way to get into the city. ”
"What are you doing in the city?" The spy asked.
"If you really want to be executed tomorrow, you will try your best to make the Lianzhou Mansion Xuezheng also go to the city wall." Shirana Crane said what he thought.
Several spies looked at each other, and one of the leaders asked: "My lord, the scholar of Lianzhou Mansion is only a sixth-grade official, and he can't do anything if he goes up to the city wall." ”
"No, you don't need him to do things, you just need him to recognize people." Bai Minghe emphasized.
"Then I don't have to wait to enter the city, the flying pigeon will pass the book. The Jinyi Guard of Lianzhou Mansion will definitely appear to help us, and if Lord Bai has any orders, they can do it together. The trial hundred households said that as long as the adult eats meat, he will be given a mouthful of soup to drink. You will never frown in the water and fire, and if you want to kill, as long as you can resist it, you can give the name. ”
This time, it was replaced by Du Shuangyu to express, it seems that the hundred households of Jinyi Wei from the capital are more cattle than here.
Du Pisces also smiled and gave an explanation: "The production of matches is limited, and transportation is also a problem. Not to mention Guangdong, even if Nanjing wants to have goods, it will have to wait for another two or three months. But we've got it! ”
"It doesn't matter, only money can solve the problem, it's not a problem."
Bai Minghe stood up: "Is it convenient to talk here!" ”
Du Shuangyu made a gesture, and then the two spies went out for a turn and came back: "Safety, our brothers are planted around!" ”
"I guess that the Qian Governor's Mansion will definitely not dare to kill people with meritorious reputation. But he wanted to hide this matter again, in this place where Emperor Gao was far away, it would definitely not be as good as in the capital. So he dared to play some means. Therefore, my method of analyzing him is to kill a few rebels. ”
Du Shuangyu didn't understand: "Lord Bai, you still need to play conspiracy to kill a few chaotic people!" ”
Bai Minghe pointed at Du Shuangyu and laughed a few times, which means that you kid is not smart enough.
Being pointed at by the white crane, Du Shuangyu reacted: "My lord, you mean." In the name of killing the rebels, he killed the four lifters, and then found someone to pretend to be. The person who pretends may be a showman, and the person who participates in the pretending will definitely not dare to tell the matter, which is a felony to kill the whole family. ”
"So, can it be understood that these shows have a handle in the hands of the Qian Governor?" Bai Minghe asked rhetorically.
"It's more likely that their talent and fame came from the wrong place. And their family must have some businesses to do with the Qian Governor's Mansion, and these businesses are likely to be killed. Du Pisces was guided by the white crane, and he completely understood.
If Governor Qian dares to play so big, it must involve a huge chain of interests.
There are only two of these chains of interests in Lianzhou. One is pearls, and the other is private salt.
The prefect of Qian has a reason to fight, and he also has enough money to do this.
"There is only one hundred households in Jinyiwei, Lianzhou Mansion. Even if they knew something, they didn't dare to do it. After all, it is four thousand miles away from the capital, and there is no one to support them. Commander Mao's envoy also had to give in, because he asked for money to raise troops, or for the same reason, it was too far away from the capital. ”
"We can't turn the other cheek, we lose if we turn the other cheek. This becomes a mortal enemy. ”
The white crane reminded.
"I know, I don't know how big the other party is, and I don't know how many people are involved. It is very disadvantageous for us to turn our faces, and now we can save these few people first, and then save more people, we can at least stand in Hepu first. "Du Pisces has fully understood the idea of the white crane.
But that's it, Bai Minghe reminded again:
"Remember one sentence, even if the inside is rotten, the face must be new."
Du Pisces also said: "Even if I want to hack him to death, I must have a smile on my face when I drink!" ”
Hahaha! Bai Minghe and Du Shuangyu laughed together, and Du Shuangyu got up and hugged his fists: "Lord Bai, I, Du Shuangyu, want to say something today, and follow Lord Bai to do things happily." ”
Bai Minghe Shuang explained some details, and Du Shuangyu took the people to act separately.
The next day, Bai Minghe got up early and changed into his official uniform. Let Jinyiwei pick ten people, led by Wu Bin. changed the uniform of the servant, and followed the white crane to Lianzhou City.
Yang Xin took 200 people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to a valley about thirty miles away from Lianzhou Mansion. Wait for orders.
These people are not afraid of poverty, nor are they afraid of not having food. After all, Shirana Crane came with five hundred craftsmen, and one hundred of them were craftsmen who specialized in making matches. Even if there is no such thing, no matter how bad there is a little prince, there is 50,000 stone of grain for him a year, and he can't starve these people to death.
But people are always reluctant to eat and wait for death.
Now that the white crane has taken action, the depressed feelings of these people will naturally disappear. What's so terrible about cutting people, their establishment is still the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, what they are doing in Hepu, they don't know, anyway, their hundreds of households listen to the white crane, and they just listen to it.
Bai Minghe walked very slowly, and it was not until about 11 o'clock in the morning that he arrived at the city of Lianzhou Mansion.
Generally, it takes until three o'clock in the afternoon.
When Bai Minghe arrived at the city, the gate of Lianzhou Mansion was still closed, and there were 200 people tied to the arrow battlements at the head of the city.
The city wall of Lianzhou Mansion is far worse than the capital, and it is not worth mentioning compared with Xi'an Mansion.
It is only two zhang high, and the width of the top is less than one zhang. The height of the arrow stack was no more than a foot, and the person tied to it stood up, and even if he knelt down, he could see clearly.
Each person wore a disheveled hair with a wooden sign on his back with the prisoner's name written on it.
"The new county magistrate of Hepu County has not seen the prefect. Please open the door! Wu Bin walked to the city and shouted.
A man wearing a seven-rank official uniform attracted the attention of almost everyone here. Especially the gathering here, there are almost more than 2,000 people, and they are all looking at the white crane. Because they are almost all from Hepu County.
