Volume 2 Half Landscape and Half Fate 111 The Closed Yamen
Qiu Yizhi's team, when everyone moved outside the city, went the opposite way and rushed to the city, which inevitably attracted the attention of the people. However, they saw that Qiu Yizhi and the others were extremely capable, and they were all regarded as the team of the imperial court to suppress the bandits, and no one dared to ask about the situation, and many people saw this and cheered.
Qiu Yizhi had no time to deal with these people, so he only rushed to the Mingzhou Mansion at the same time.
The farther you go into the city, the fewer the people will be, and they will have fled outside the city. Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi felt a little relieved, but saw a group of eight or nine people in the streets and alleys in front of him, most of them dressed as widows, holding sharp axes and hammers, and slamming the gate of a rather large house in the city. The door of this house is just to guard against ordinary thieves, how can it withstand such a toss, and after a few smashes, the door is already wide open, and the group of robbers will rush in.
Qiu Yizhi was indignant when he saw this, and ran to the door of the house first, and the lieutenant Chi Jiming and ten personal soldiers behind him also followed closely when they saw this.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the sound of crying for help from the depths of the house, which showed that someone in the house had time to escape and was caught by the Japanese robbers.
Qiu Yizhi hurriedly led people to search for the sound, and sure enough, he found that most of the Japanese robbers were gathered in a corner of the courtyard, not knowing what they were doing.
Qiu Yizhi didn't have time to think about it, and with a whip of his finger, Yu Chi Jiming took a few personal soldiers and quickly killed them. They had fought with the Japanese invaders many times, and they had lost the slightest fear, and their martial arts were extraordinary and they had taken their opponents by surprise, so in the blink of an eye, this group of Japanese robbers was dead and wounded, but Qiu Yizhi's men had never lost a single one.
So Qiu Yizhi got off the horse and took a few steps forward to check the situation, and saw that what this group of would-be robbers were surrounding was a cellar. The door of the cellar had been pried open from the outside, and when I looked in, I saw seven or eight men and women hiding in it, all huddled in the corner, with frightened expressions on their faces.
Qiu Yizhi looked pitiful, so he comforted him and said: "You don't have to be afraid, the inferior ones are the officials and soldiers, and the Japanese have been killed, and you are already safe." Then he said, "I beseech you to come out and flee quickly out of the city along the west path, where I have just come and not a single widow." Also, please don't covet gold and silver, and act immediately, so that your lives can be saved. β
The people in the cellar were in shock, and when they heard Qiu Yizhi say such a long list, no one came out to answer.
Qiu Yi thought that he still had important things to do, and it was impossible to escort them out of the city, so he sighed, comforted them a few more words, and turned around to leave.
But in the cellar, a trembling voice came: "Who is this official...... Be...... Is it the Lord of Autumn Rites? β
Qiu Yizhi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard that someone actually reported his name in such a place, turned around and came back, and asked into the cellar: "It's Qiu Yizhi down there, I don't know which of my old friends?" Please show up. β
As soon as his voice fell, he saw a trembling person walking out, arched his hand towards Qiu Yizhi, and said, "Did Yizhi forget me?" I am...... It's your uncle, Zhao Fuyi. β
Qiu Yizhi was even more surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and walked into the cellar, seeing that the person who spoke was not tall but very fat, his face was full of fat, and his eyebrows were really a little similar to himself - sure enough, it was his uncle Zhao Fuyi.
This Zhao Fuyi was rich and unkind at the beginning, and used poison tricks to take Qiu Yizhi's mother's land, indirectly forcing her to death, and was Qiu Yizhi's enemy. Later, when the emperor Zheng Rong, who was still the king of Youyan at the time, regarded Qiu Yizhi as the son of the moth, and when he avenged his righteous son, he originally wanted to correct Zhao Fuyi. However, Qiu Yizhi thought that as long as he had such a relative, he couldn't bear it, so he pleaded to save Zhao Fuyi and gave him a few acres of land for him to survive. However, this Zhao Fuyi is a master of financial management, but after a long time, he has developed again and become a wealthy party.
(See Volume 1 for details)
Qiu Yizhi met Zhao Fuyi unexpectedly here, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle, didn't you still in Henan last time I saw you?" Why did you come here here in Mingzhou again? β
Zhao Fuyi replied: "Thanks to the reminder in Huainan County, I immediately sold all my land, thinking that Jiangnan is a rich area, and it is far away from the war-torn land in the Central Plains, so I moved to this Mingzhou city." However, the land in Jiangnan is expensive, and the money I saved in Henan could not buy a few acres of fertile land, so I followed others to do business on the sea, and the income was not thin......"
At the moment, his eyebrows were burning, how could Qiu Yizhi have the heart to listen to Zhao Fuyi introduce his experience at such a long time, and hurriedly interrupted him: "Now is not the time to speak, please ask my uncle to lead the family to withdraw from Mingzhou." If you have something to say to me, you can go to Shanyin County to talk about it. β
Zhao Fuyi knew Qiu Yi's identity, listened to his orders, did not dare to have the slightest disobedience, and quickly mustered up the courage to beckon the little servants in the cellar to come out, but he was still reluctant to give up his property, so he took some gold and silver and fled outside Mingzhou City.
Qiu Yizhi saw Zhao Fuyi leave, and was about to take people to continue to the Mingzhou Mansion, but he heard a personal soldier under his command say: "My lord, there is still a widow here who is not dead......
Seeing that time was pressing, Qiu Yizhi directly interrupted him and ordered: "If you don't die, you won't die, if you kill it, what are you talking about with the Japanese Kou?" β
The soldier said, "Although this person is dressed as a widow, he speaks Chinese, so I am afraid that I will kill the wrong good person......
Qiu Yizhi was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Lin, something strange has happened, let's try this Chinese speaking wolf!" So saying, let the soldier lead the way.
After walking a few steps, I saw a man dressed as a widow, lying on the ground, with a one-foot-long wound on his back bleeding.
Qiu Yizhi heard that this person could speak Chinese, so he didn't make many detours with him, so he asked directly: "You coward, why did you come to Jiangnan to do evil?" β
The man reluctantly raised his head, and when he saw that the person who spoke was different in appearance and equipment, he hurriedly replied: "The villain is not a widow, but a good citizen!" β
"Nonsense! If you are a good citizen, why do you wear the clothes of the Japanese and commit atrocities? Uncle Lin, who rushed over, asked.
The man's eyes flashed slyly, and he said: "The little one was originally from Quanzhou, and when he went out to sea to fish, he was taken captive by the Japanese Invaders, and in order to survive, he had no way to follow the Wolves around. As a translator, I have never killed anyone or robbed anything......"
Qiu Yizhi is such a smart person, the subtle changes in this person's expression can be seen, and he knows that he is lying, so he sneered and said to the soldiers around him: "This person is not honest, it is useless to keep it, kill him for me." β
The pro-soldier naturally ordered and forbidden, and when he picked up the saber, he had to pierce his chest.
At this time, the man really panicked, and said: "I said, I said, I said it all, and I hope that the adult will spare my life." β
Qiu Yizhi had already relieved his mouth when he heard it, and he was happy in his heart, but he pressed again: "I see that you are not an honest person, and I am too lazy to listen to your nonsense, just kill it." β
The man hurriedly said: "My lord spare my life, my lord spare my life!" I am not a fisherman, but a smuggler, and when I met a pirate at sea, they pulled me onto a ship and wanted to kill me. Later, when I heard that I could say a few words, he temporarily left my life behind, but asked me to lead a road attack to disturb the coastal area of Dahan......"
Qiu Yizhi looked frightened when he saw him, and it was a matter of life and death, as if he was lying to himself, so he turned his head and looked at Lin Shuhan, and continued: "Then you have committed the crime of communicating with foreign countries, and according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, you will inevitably be sent to Jinling Sanshan Street to be stabbed." But I see that you are also desperate to cling to the Japanese Kou, it is understandable, and you have the intention to let you go, so I ask you if you want to die? Want to live? β
"I want to live, I want to live!" The man replied hurriedly.
"Let me ask you, could this large-scale invasion by the Japanese be premeditated in advance?" Qiu Yizhi asked sharply.
"This ...... The ......," replied the man, "the Wako never had any plan to do things. It was the night last night that several pirate ships were blown to the shore by a hurricane, and a young man who seemed to know the leader of the pirates came and decided to loot them after a few nonsense talks. β
When Qiu Yizhi heard this, his heart sank, and he asked: "Is that young man less than thirty years old, covered in black, and his name is 'Yin Tai'?" β
The man replied, "I'm about the same age, and my black clothes are wet from top to bottom, and as for what it's calledβthe Han Chinese boat people eat a lot of food here in the Japanese Kou, and I'm not sure what I'm going to eat." β
In fact, Qiu Yizhi asked this question, he calculated the timeline, and knew that this person should be Yin Tai, but he didn't expect that he would lead the Japanese to invade Mingzhou and commit such a heinous crime.
However, the top priority now is to work with the local governor and Zhonglang general of Mingzhou to wipe out all these Japanese bandits, or at least rush back to the sea, so he asked again: "Then let me ask you, how many people have come this time?" Where is the main direction of attack? β
"Oh. There were more than 150 people in our ship alone, nearly 500 people in the three ships, and more than 1,000 people in the Han Chinese. As for the main direction of attack? The Japanese have always been independent, and they have never had any rules, so they can't talk about the main direction of attack, probably to run wherever they see the money......"
Qiu Yizhi's brows tightened: If this is the case, then it will be extremely difficult to catch the main force of the Japanese Invaders, and it will be impossible to annihilate the Japanese Invaders with only one or two attacks, and the matter may be even more difficult to clean upβbut in any case, it is necessary to get in touch with the local civil and military officials in Mingzhou before discussing the matter of exterminating the Japanese Invaders.
So Qiu Yi's heart was crossed, and he ordered one of his personal soldiers to say: "Tie up this person, drag him behind the horse, and let him act with us." β
The soldier agreed, and immediately called a brother, and after tying up the fake widow, he tied him to the back of the horse's buttocks. The Bohai good horse was a little violent, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a person standing behind him, and then he stepped backwards, kicking the diaphragm of this person, kicking the bottom few ribs.
The poor fake widow screamed in pain, but he still gritted his teeth to stand up, and ran forward with extremely painful and uncoordinated movements after the horse.
Qiu Yi and his entourage went all the way, and killed seven or eight small groups of Japanese robbers, and finally arrived in front of the Mingzhou Mansion. I saw that the gate of the government was closed, but I seemed to hear the commotion through the door.
Qiu Yizhi was afraid that the Japanese had already invaded the palace, so he was in a hurry, and hurriedly led the army to call the door.
But he heard a rough answer from inside the door: "The governor has an order: the people in the city have fled separately, and the government is heavy, and they should not enter lightly!" Then there was no reply.
"Fart!" These two words immediately popped up in Qiu Yizhi's mind - the enemy is current, the people are helpless, if they run to the door to seek refuge, but the government still refuses to accept it, then what else does the court do? What else do you want the government to do?
Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi didn't knock on the door, just raised his foot and kicked the door violently.
