Chapter Table of Contents Chapter 54: Bloodshed

Xu Qing is more than 30 years old, his ancestral home is Hedong, his family is honest in his early years, his grandfather has been a jinshi, and he has been a county official for two terms. The father was quite unscrupulous, failed to inherit the family style and became a gentleman, with a group of wives and concubines. After his father's death, he took over the family business, was not good at management, and went bankrupt after a few years. Xu Qing is just one of the many concubines in this family, with a low status, the family was able to go to school for a few years when he was young, and then the family deteriorated, so he went to the hospital as an apprentice.

When Xu Qing was in his twenties, there were only a few grass houses left in the family, and his brothers were scattered, relying on his meager income to support his parents to drink porridge, but his father still had bad habits, and finally one day he was beaten to death in a gambling hall. Poor Xu Qing couldn't even afford a coffin, so he could only sell his body to bury his father, but Li Jun saw it, gave him a sum of money to bury his father and settle his family, so he took him into the organization, and after Li Jun's strict training, he was trained to be an excellent intelligence officer.

In the past few years, Xu Qing used what he learned in the medical hall to enter the Liao realm under the cover of You Fang Langzhong's identity to find out information, and after Yelu Yanxi fled to Xijing at the beginning of the year, he was ordered to investigate his traces and develop intelligence agents near the Southwest Recruitment Division, and collect information about the movements of Liaojin. But a few days ago, he suddenly received a new task, which was to make trouble, to do a big thing, and provoke a conflict between the Khitans and the Han people

Now that the Liao State has sunset, these Khitan people are afraid of the Jurchens like tigers, but they still have to put on a master's face to the Han people, taking it for granted, but they don't know that what they have done has caused the dissatisfaction of the Han people. Xu Qing was at the bottom all day long, how could he not know what they thought. But the habits of the Han people for many years have become natural, and no one dares to resist. He sympathized with their plight, and by the way, instilled resentment against the Khitans in these villagers with his incorruptible tongue.

Xu Qing understood that the seeds of hatred had been planted, and the hatred of the Han people was like dry firewood, and what was missing now was an opportunity, a flashpoint that could ignite the fire of their hatred, so after accepting the task, he did not rush to provoke the Han people to revolt and rebel, but opened his eyes wide to find an opportunity. Today's accidental incident made Xu Qing see an opportunity, so he 'jumped' out!

"Folks. The Khitan people don't treat us Han people as human beings, and they want to kill five of us for a horse, which is really a cheap human life, do we just watch them kill our brothers? Xu Qing turned around and shouted at the onlookers, but there was no such scene of excitement and righteous indignation as he expected, and the Khitans were also confused by the nosy person who suddenly jumped out. No one stepped forward to stop him.

"Folks, today they Khitans can kill five of us for a horse, maybe tomorrow they can kill ten of us for a chicken, can we let them slaughter!" Xu Qing saw that the situation was 'not good', and shouted loudly again, this time he finally saw a trace of anger on everyone's numb faces!

"Arrest him." Shilibi' (the Khitans' contemptuous name for the Han people, meaning slaves) actually wanted to rebel! The lord also reacted at this time, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to arrest people.

"Folks, people live a breath, and trees live a skin. The Khitans have already slashed their knives to our necks, and the blood of our Han descendants is gone. Have you let the dogs eat them all? Xu Qing shouted at the crowd, turning around and fighting with the Khitans who rushed up to catch him.

"Yes, the Khitans won't let us live, so we'll fight today!"

"Kill Them"

Who doesn't have a good relationship with three relatives, and besides, the ones tied there are their own relatives, seeing Xu Qing leading the battle with the Khitans, his courage also grew, and then he shouted and rushed to save people. People have a herd mentality, and when they see someone coming forward, they rush forward, even if they are timid, they follow behind and shout to make a strong noise!

If the Khitan lord is a person who understands, he can release the person at this time, and with a few words of comfort, this matter may be calmed down. But this lord is used to being the boss, he didn't recognize the situation, he only had more than 20 private soldiers and some Khitans around him, and there were more than 300 Han people on the opposite side, not to mention more than 300 people, he not only did not soothe, but scolded sharply, ordered his subordinates to draw swords against each other, and wanted to kill a hundred people, so he chopped a few people to the ground at that time.

Since ancient times, the Han people, who live with ethnic minorities day and night in the northern border area, are easily infected with the habits of ethnic minorities. The people of Youyun will naturally not be an exception, under the influence of the ears and eyes on weekdays, the Han people in the Youyun area, especially the Han people in Youzhou, have formed a fierce and martial character similar to the northern nomads, and after returning to Liao, they have been fighting with the Khitans for a long time, and naturally have preserved the character of 'sleeping and living, not letting go of bows and horses, going in and out of watch, and often carrying instruments'.

As soon as he saw the blood, the people's eyes turned red, and they immediately started to move their hands, some drew their knives, some raised their sticks, some touched what they took, and those who didn't get anything were laid up with their bare hands, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides were scuffling together. Everyone originally meant to save people, but they didn't want to kill the officials and rebel, but this fight, the swords and guns have no eyes, and death and injury are inevitable, and the Han people are overwhelming, and the lord's private soldiers will soon be unable to parry.

After all, they are used to being ruled by the Khitans, and although everyone's brains are hot at this time, they still maintain restraint and do not kill them, beating the Khitans all over their heads and bleeding from their noses, but these are all flesh wounds, and there is no big problem.

"The lord is dead!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed loudly, this shout was like a fixation technique for everyone, they all stopped their hands together, their eyes looked into the field, and they saw the lord with a bull's ear sharp knife in his chest, lying on the ground, his eyes were staring, blood gushing out of his mouth, and his body was twitching nervously, and he couldn't live!

Everyone was dumbfounded now, knowing that the matter was big, who killed the lord? It stands to reason that it should be said that these Han people killed it, but the sharp knife inserted in the lord's chest was inlaid with gold and silver, which was definitely not something that these Kuha Hadi Han people could have, that is, the Khitan people themselves were injured by mistake.

"You killed the lord, no one can run this time, you must kill all of you, peel your skin and cramp!" The leader of the private soldiers looked at everyone and looked at him, as if the person who killed the lord was himself, he was furious in his heart, and theoretically he might have to eat melons with him, and now he simply put the responsibility on these Han people.

"The Khitans want to slaughter the village, and they can't be let go to report the news!" Xu Qing rushed out of the crowd to block those private soldiers and shouted, when he mobilized everyone just now, he was not idle, he quietly approached the lord who was hugged in the middle, and made a black hand.

"The Khitans deceived me too much, killing one is killing, killing two is also killing, anyway, I will simply kill them today with death!" Several young men who 'stole horses' were rescued and walked in front of the palace of Hades, naturally hating the Khitans to the core, and one of the young men suddenly stabbed to death the Khitan who claimed to be the owner of the horse and shouted loudly.

This young man is actually not simple, his name is Li Gong, although he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, he is brave and handsome, different from ordinary people, young Han people near and far are very respectful to him, and he has considerable appeal among young people. His shout did not matter, and it immediately resonated, and the young men in the stockade gathered under his men, followed him and slaughtered the private soldiers, and twenty or so people were hacked to death almost instantly. As soon as the killing began, it was difficult to stop, and after killing all the private soldiers, everyone pointed their knives at the Khitans in the stockade.

A rescue performance turned into an armed riot, and the injustice of the past became the best reason for them to slaughter the Khitans, and more and more people joined the slaughter team, and almost everyone who could move in the village was involved, and launched a crazy revenge on the Khitans in the village. The resistance of the Khitans aroused even greater anger, and the people who killed the red-eyed, regardless of men and women, old and young, good and evil, as long as they were Khitans, became their targets, the property and livestock of the Khitans were divided, their wives and daughters were raped, the tents were set on fire, and the heavy smell of blood and the screams of the killed were filled with the stockade

The slaughter lasted from noon to dark, the docile sheep turned into murderous demons, and more than 100 Khitan people in Qingliang Village were almost slaughtered except for a few people who ran out of the village when they saw the opportunity, and the grievances between the two ethnic groups for a hundred years were completely settled. Looking at the Khitan people who used to be high in the sky kneeling at their feet and begging for mercy, their horses, livestock, and countless gold and silver were taken for themselves, and the Khitan women who had never looked at them in the past wept under them

By this time the fanatical people had forgotten their precarious situation, and no one heeded his warnings, and they were reluctant to give up the land and wealth they had just acquired. The development of events was beyond Xu Qing's control, and he wanted to use this incident to provoke a conflict between the Han and the Khitans, and call on the Han people to oppose the Khitan rule, but in the end, it turned out to be a massacre of one ethnic group against another.

Their long-suppressed emotions and hatred were greatly satisfied, and when it got dark, many people gathered around the fire, eating meat in large pieces, drinking wine in large bowls, and some people wearing robbed silk and leather clothes, riding golden saddle horses, still carrying knives and torches in the stockade to find the Khitans who had slipped through the net! After the last effort failed, Xu Qing reluctantly and quietly left Qingliangzhai

The revenge of the Khitans came quickly, and before dawn, more than a thousand Khitan soldiers surrounded Qingliang Village, and the unprepared village was quickly breached. Although the Han people in the stockade resisted hard, but how could the unorganized resistance stop the prepared Liao army's iron hooves, after a period of fighting, only Li Gong broke out with the hundred and ten young people in the stockade, and the rest were all slaughtered by the Liao army. And the matter did not end because Qingliangzhai was destroyed, in the surrounding towns, the Khitan people in the village in order to prevent similar things from happening, thought of striking first, and started a new round of massacres against the Han people, resulting in bloody cases one after another!
