Chapter 232: The thief shouts to catch the thief
He and Zhang Ersha, who were escorted in the middle of the team, also attracted the people's sideways, and they even discussed: "Who are these two people?" Looks like a captured widow? "Yo, I said that this Young Master Yan wanted to collude with the Japanese and rob Xu Hai, but why did he tie up two more Japanese Emperors?" "Xu is Yan Gongzi for Xu Hai's mother-in-law to save Xu Hai, and he captured these two widows to exchange Xu Hai with Old Lady Lin?" "Ahem, two for one, I don't know if the old lady Daolin will do it?" "Of course I won't do it, what is Xu Hai's worth, unless the eldest prince Yan exchanges Chen Dong and Ye Ma for it." "Yo, I don't see if you know a lot. Honestly, isn't your family a common widow? "You are the only one who is able to pass the Japanese, and your whole family is to be the Japanese......
Seeing that it was close to the county yamen, he arrived at the outpost of the local Jinyi Guard. Yu Deshui came to greet him: "See Huhou." Yan Hong smiled slightly: "No courtesy." Brother Yu, in the past two days, have there been any remnants of the Japanese who have tried to rob the prison? ”
Yu Deshui said: "Hou Hu, the lower official led the brothers to patrol day and night, where did the remnants of the Japanese dare to come!" The marquis of the household came here, could it be that he wanted to rob Xu Hai from the hands of the county lord of Nalin? But there are a lot of people gathered outside this yamen, I am afraid that ......"
Yan Hong sneered: "No, this official took the evidence of Lin Yangqian's collusion with the Japanese and specially came to arrest this dog official and ask for the crime!" After that, he put aside Yu Deshui, who was stunned, and swaggered and led the crowd straight to the county yamen.
When I arrived outside the county prison, I saw that I was already waiting for it. But I saw more than 200 people in a big circle at the gate of the prison. In the middle of that circle, it was Lin Yangqian and Lin Zhixian, who led dozens of officials and catchers in the county to form a formation. At the very core, a big man with five flowers was pressed to the ground, and two people dressed as tolerances pressed the bright single knife on his neck.
The big man was dressed in prison clothes and unkempt, but He Qi and Zhang Wu recognized that the person was the sworn brother Xu Hai at a glance. The two of them thought about the oppression they had suffered from Jinyiwei along the way, and even their sister-in-law might have done something sorry for their eldest brother, in order to save people. Seeing people in front of them, the eyes of the two people breathed fire, and they were almost about to jump forward to save people. Who knew that he had just taken half a step, but he was held by two brocade-clothed officials and couldn't move. Only then did the brothers remember that they were tied up by Wuhuada, so they had to stop obediently.
At this time, the people on both sides were waiting outside the prison. There are only more than 20 people on Yan Hong's side, compared to the more than 200 people in the Yamen of Shanyin County, it is naturally much inferior in terms of momentum. However, these people are all capable, with sharp blades in their hands, and even the two captives who were tied up have a fierce face, but this is much stronger than the rabble in Shanyin County. Therefore, seeing Yan Hong and his party approaching, some people on the periphery couldn't help but whisper, and there were people in the front row who took a few steps back.
But he saw Yan Hong lightly knock the stirrup, walked to the front of the team, condescendingly, and shouted: "Dog officer Lin Yangqian, you get out of here!" What does it mean to put this nondescript turtle array? ”
Lin Yangqian is not wearing a regular dress today. He wore a beard on his head, a blue robe with a blue collar and a large belt with black horns around his waist, but he was dressed in a public uniform. Seeing that Yan Hong was angry, where could Lin Yangqian show weakness, and sneered: "This official is the parent of a county, I heard that someone has spread a message that there is a Jinyi official school colluding with the Japanese and wants to attack the prison and rob the Japanese chieftain. ”
At this time, outside the yamen, more than 1,000 people had already gathered to watch. The people who gathered around heard Lin Zhixian say this, but they didn't know who took the lead in shouting hello, which immediately attracted countless echoes.
Yan Hong said: "Bold Lin Yangqian! You speak high-sounding words, but in fact, you collude with the Japanese and the cowards, and they are openly and secretly conniving, how can this official allow you to succeed! This official is here now, under the embroidered spring knife, he will definitely behead the wolf to show the public, no matter how much you use your tricks, but you can't save the life of a dog of the fierce wolf! ”
Lin Yangqian listened to Yan Hong's scolding of his head, and he was stunned for a while, thinking that this should be my word, why was this guy shouted out first? He pondered for a moment, and then said loudly: "Yan Hong, don't spew blood!" Lin Mouxing is doing the end, and his loyalty can be learned every day, what is there to fear? ”
Yan Hong said sharply: "Well, if you are really loyal, you will immediately kill this widow Xu Hai in front of the yamen!" Otherwise, I will ask the court to cover up the Japanese and accept bribes for yourself! ”
Yan Hong's words came out, and Lin Yangqian felt that his brain was not enough. Why, this Yan Hong came with dozens of people to mobilize the crowd, not to save Xu Hai and protect Xu Hai, but to force himself to kill Xu Hai? Where is this?
But in the crowd, someone shouted: "Well said! Lin Lao County, please behead that Xu Hai immediately! Someone took the lead, and immediately the people shouted: "Beheaded!" Beheading! Kill the Wokos! ”
Lin Yangqian saw that the people's sentiment was turbulent, but he couldn't figure out what this logic was all about. When he was hesitating, he looked at Hu Baiqi beside Yan Hong, and at this time he also stepped forward and said to the left and right: "Fellow villagers, Xu Hai can't be killed!" The father of the family is the governor of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Hu Laoduye, his old man sits in the southeast, and makes every effort to suppress the Japanese, in order to ensure the safety of one party and open peace for the country. What is Xu Hai's argument alone? However, the situation in the southeast cannot be bad because of a plagued county, this dog official is bent on killing Xu Hai, but he wants to ignore the life and death of thousands of Li people, and everyone must not be deceived by traitors. ”
Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, Zhizhi, and the governor of Zhejiang, is only bigger than Yan Song in terms of his reputation among the local people. At the beginning, the people only heard that it was the grandson of the famous traitor Yan Song, but they never thought that Hu Duye's son was also there. They are not very afraid of the officials in the capital, after all, the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, and the whip is beyond the reach. But Hu Zongxian is close at hand, if he offends his son, it is not easy to do, at this time the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is still stable, and under normal circumstances, there will not be a scene where one person raises his arms and all the people rebel. Therefore, hearing Hu Baiqi's words, the common people did not dare to act rashly for a while.
It's just that who is right and who is wrong among them, they are even more unclear. What's more, the grandson of this traitorous minister Yan Song is shouting to kill Xu Hai, and the son of Hu Daduxian is shouting that he can't be killed, why is Lin Lao Xianzun looking like he can't make up his mind? Ordinary people are even more confused.
But I heard someone in the crowd shouting: "What kind of widow did Hu Zongxian suppress?" He only knew that he had made peace with the Japanese Kou Zhao'an, and he had already sold the people of Limin! Don't listen to his nonsense. "It's just that this noise is not as effective as Fang Cai. Hu Zongxian's son was in front of him, scolding his father in front of him, but the ordinary people still didn't dare, but in their hearts, they secretly despised it. After all, the people of the country and the dynasty have such a temperament, when they don't have to go to the battlefield by themselves, they naturally like to use war to solve problems, and the so-called watching the excitement is not afraid of big things.
Since it's none of my business, when I hear Zhao'an, I always feel that it is not as good as Kou Lai. As for how many soldiers and horses will be spent in the process, how much food will be consumed, and the pros and cons will be weighed, it is not a matter for these people to consider. Especially in Shaoxing, the city has not been looted by the Japanese in these days, and the people are full of energy. If you want to put this scene in Ningbo, a hundred miles to the east, it is estimated that the voices of the common people will be completely different.
Yan Hong knew in his heart that in the chaotic logic he deliberately created, the one who insisted on shouting to kill Xu Hai was a person sent by Li Wenzao, who was specifically responsible for agitating the people and creating incidents. Based on the experience of previous lives, this kind of person has little meaning to spray with them. What should be said has been made clear, and it is useless to say anything else, either to catch this kind of person and cut it down directly, or to completely ignore it. Scolding them, most of them is useless, the best way is to find local students, filial piety and other professional literati to spray with them, as for himself as the son of heaven's pro-army, I really don't have the time to entangle with them.
Therefore, he still grasped the main contradiction and said sharply to Lin Yangqian: "Lin Yangqian, listen." The evidence of your collusion with the Japanese has already been ascertained by my Jinyiwei. Xu Hai, the leader of this widow, since he got it, he should correct the Fa on the spot, but you have used the excuse of asking for a holy decree to delay it for so many days, isn't it overt and covert? You pretended to be honest and deceived your father and the common people, but in fact you received 5,000 taels of silver from the Japanese coars. Otherwise, you are white and fat, and your servants are also ruddy, how did you get all these things to eat and drink? ”
When these words were shouted, many people on the lookers were whispering. Yes, Lord Lin County seems to have a pretty good life, how can he be a clean official?
As the saying goes, it's easier to lie than to defend the truth, Yan Hong caught Lin Yangqian not being bribed, but living a nourishing life, and splashed feces in his face, which really made Lin Yangqian, who was a tiger grouper, tremble: "You, you, you...... You're talking nonsense! ”
Yan Hong sneered: "I'm talking nonsense? It's clear that you can't justify yourself. Lin Xianzun, one of the witnesses of your acceptance of bribes from the Japanese is Xu Hai. This person is now in your hands, and I naturally can't get a confession. However, I have arrested two other widows here, but they know the details of your bribery. If you have the courage, confront them. ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw the two Jinyi lieutenants pull the rope, and He Qi and Zhang Wu, who were originally tied up with flowers, suddenly untied the rope like a trick, roared, and swooped in the direction of Lin Yangqian. There was originally a layer of people on the outermost level, but when they saw this, they were immediately frightened and retreated.
Lin Yangqianrao is the county commander of the Tiger Class, and when he really saw the two fierce widows rushing towards him, he couldn't help but panic. At this time, a servant beside him said in a loud voice: "Master, Jinyi Wei is going to rob the prison!" Quickly cut Xu Hai! ”
Lin Yangqian was reminded and hurriedly shouted: "Behead that Xu Hai!" ”
