7-5o Wanping County Lingtou Cheng

Wanping County's county commander Xie Baoqing is a rule-abiding person, the former Ming Dynasty was born, and later became the county commander of Wanping County, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, a large number of Ming Dynasty officials were retained, Xie Baoqing was among them, for a long time as Hanchen, he had no way out of promotion, so he had to concentrate on squeezing the people of the county, to be honest, Xie Baoqing is not a person who is a heinous crime, how can there be an official who does not make money in these years.

Recently, the capital is not very peaceful, the Ministry of Rites singled out to call on the Han people to be coated, into the green camp Mr. Fan Jian was killed by lightning in the rainstorm, according to the investigation of Shuntianfu, it is likely to be the assassination of the chaotic party, there are also a large number of criminal cases in the suburbs of Beijing, targeting the flag people, many of the cattle and sheep in the flag people's homes were killed, hollowed out the internal organs and transported away overnight, (such cases in rural areas of our country are indeed common), and the children of the flag people were thrown into the well by bad people and drowned when they were playing outside, The banner woman fell asleep at home and fell into a coma, woke up unclothed, red and swollen, as if she had been insulted by the gangsters, as for the theft of family property, the case was reported to the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department attached great importance to it, and ordered the counties in the suburbs of Beijing to strictly check the foreign population, and wantonly searched for suspicious persons, Tie Dan Zhuang has always liked to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, which Xie Zhi County also mastered, because the Criminal Department has a clear text, each county must arrest a few thieves, so Xie Baoqing sent someone to Tie Dan Zhuang to take people, regardless of whether he is a real murderer, Let's catch a few first, and deal with the criminal department.

The head of the team, Xie Sihai, is the nephew of Xie Zhi County, and he has always been able to do things well, and this time is no exception.

Xie Baoqing was admiring the newly bought pots of high-priced epiphanys in the study, and saw that his nephew had brought a few tall people with ropes tied to their hands and came in without knocking on the door, and immediately frowned: "Sihai, throw it into the cell, what are you doing to show me?" Xie Bao Qingqi said. Xie Bantou didn't answer, but he could see his face weeping and mourning, as if someone owed him two hundred taels of silver.

"Don't move!" The captive behind Xie Bantou suddenly shook off the rope in his hand like a trick, and took out a dagger that shook brightly and hit Xie Zhixian's neck, "Be honest, if you dare to shout, you will die!" ”

Xie Zhixian shuddered, what is this called, the thief entered the county government in broad daylight, openly used a knife to coerce a county parent official, and it was unbelievable to spread out, his brain turned quite neatly, and in a blink of an eye, he understood that the comer was not good, and he couldn't play hard, and immediately put on a smiling face and said: "Is the horse master lacking entanglement?" This county should be a little bit careful, but this damn thing still has to be put away. ”

"What a ringing horse, grandpa is a general of the Ming Dynasty's Nanji Factory! I'm here to get rid of you, you traitor. The big man handed the dagger in his hand forward by half an inch, which had already scratched the oily skin on Xie Zhixian's neck, and he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down: "Spare my life, hero, I am not a traitor, I was also forced." ”

At this time, the county government has been fully controlled by the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society, Liu Ziguang came to the house where Xie Zhixian was located, and sat directly on the Taishi chair, under the coercion of the blades of the heroes, Xie Zhixian and Xie Bantou both knelt on the ground obediently and listened to Liu Ziguang's instructions.

"Xie Baoqing, right, you have served as the puppet Qing Wanping Zhixian for some years, and you have harmed the people all these years, and the people of Wanping hate you deeply, and it is not enough for the people to be angry if you don't kill!" Liu Ziguang said in a fierce voice.

"Wronged, my lord, despicable... Ah no, the villain is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, the good man of Tie Guts Village often gathers heroes, the small one always turns a blind eye, and the labor tax money sent above, the small one is also trying to help the people reduce the door, and the small one sits in this seat, which is also for our Han people. Xie Baoqing cried with tears in his eyes, what he said was also the truth, as the magistrate of Wanping County, Xie Baoqing pursued the purpose of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, the chaotic party gathered in the territory He pretended not to be visible, the court collected people and silver, he just shouted and did not do practical things, he knew that it was not appropriate to be a bird, muffled wealth is the king's way, he could not afford to offend the high-ranking officials of the court, and he could not afford to offend these high-ranking heroes of the people, and there were no too sinful deeds over the years, Liu Ziguang said that he was going to kill him, how could the people not let him shout that he was wronged.

"My lord, Xie Zhixian has indeed done some good things for the place, without the protection of his old man, our Iron Courage Village would have been wiped out by the Manchurians." It was Dai Zhongying who spoke, and now he and Liu Ziguang sang white face and red face alone, singing and harmonizing Xie Baoqing's flickering dizziness.

Xie Baoqing was indeed dizzy, why did Nanming's officers come to the suburbs of Beijing, could it be that the cases mentioned by the Criminal Department were all done by Nanming's spies? This is an old life, people are in the dark, they are in the light, and the county government is not safer than in the capital, and now the knives are on the neck, is this old life going to be confessed today?

Hearing Dai Zhongying speak for him, Xie Baoqing's head suddenly nodded like a kowtow worm: "Yes, yes, I still know me on behalf of the owner." As he spoke, he turned his head and walked to Dai Zhongying, holding one of his legs and begging: "Dai Zhuang Master, for the sake of our many years of friendship, please let this lord spare my life." ”

Dai Zhongying said in his heart that you have squeezed a lot of money from me for many years, but he comforted me kindly: "Xie Zhixian, our Ming Dynasty Nanchang Yamen is not as careless as the Manchurian Military Aircraft Department, who is guilty and who is meritorious, the adults remember it very clearly in their books." ”

"Yes, Xie Baoqing, we have a clear grasp of your words and deeds over the years." Liu Ziguang took out a notebook and raised it at Xie Baoqing: "Every time you do a bad thing, I will draw a cross behind your name, and when the fork accumulates to a certain point, I will come to collect your life." Saying that, he pretended to flip through this popular book from the Dai family: "Well, Xie Baoqing, you have been a Manchu lackey for ten years, but you have done a lot of bad things." ”

"My lord, I... I will definitely do more good things in the future, please give me another chance. Xie Bao wailed with tears in his eyes.

Liu Ziguang stood up and took two steps in Xie Baoqing's study, and said with a high spirit: "Okay, then the official will give you another chance to be a new person, now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is like a grasshopper after the autumn, and it won't be a few days away, there are our people everywhere near Beijing City, even the palace has our eyeliner, Xuanye Xiaoer has a few times today, we all know what color the is, the imperial court has sent Lord Zhenwuhou to inspect Shandong, organize and train the army, Wang Shibei is just around the corner, you are a lackey of the Qing court, Originally, the crime was extremely evil, but in line with the principle of curing the disease and saving people, I will give you this opportunity to atone for your sins, cooperate with the actions of my Nanchang Fanzi, provide intelligence and corresponding support, and do every good deed, I will drop a fork and ditch on your book. ”

Liu Ziguang's coercive and seductive words set off an uproar in Xie Baoqing's heart, the official title of this young man dressed as a young man in front of him must not be worthy, and the generals are all his subordinates, what he said may be able to believe that the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is indeed stormy, and the Empress Dowager has issued several decrees in a row to ease the contradictions between the Manchus and the Hans. The military strength of the Southern Ming Dynasty is constantly strengthening, I heard that the war on the Taiwan side has been a great success, and the local governors have also been much more respectful to the Nanjing regime, and have solved these troubles, they will definitely move the Northern Expedition to recover the old land of the Beijing Division, Wanping as the southern gate of Beijing, and the location of the Fengtai camp, a bloody battle is inevitable, now is the best opportunity to stand in line, if you can bet on the right treasure, the glory and wealth of the next half of your life can still be guaranteed, if you bet wrong... Is there a choice now? The knives were all up to their necks, so they had to agree to their requests first.

"Xie has long been looking forward to contributing to the imperial court, but he has no way to serve the country, and now several adults have guided me to a bright road, I am willing to die, what do you want me to do, just open your mouth, go up the knife mountain and go down the oil pot with one sentence." Xie Baoqing is a scholar, and he doesn't know where he learned this set of Jianghu dialects, but it is catchy when he says it, quite like that.

"Didn't you say it just now, you are still your magistrate, what information is transmitted to Tie Danzhuang in time, you remember, your every move is under our surveillance, your wife and children, your father and mother, and even the life of the dog named Wangcai at home are in the palm of our hands, what to do You know in your heart, here is a letter of commitment to sincerity, you sign it first." After speaking, Liu Ziguang took out a pre-written guarantee.

Where did Xie Baoqing dare to take a closer look, trembling and signing his name, and pressing his handprint, Liu Ziguang put away the guarantee, and walked away with a group of men, leaving Xie Baoqing's uncle and nephew who were still trembling.

"Uncle, do you want to inform the Fengtai camp to clear the Iron Gall Village?" Xie Sihai crawled to the door and looked at the serious ones who had walked away, and asked Xie Zhixian in a low voice.

"Notify the fart!" Xie Baoqing's big mouth immediately twitched: "If you don't want to die, I'll die!" ”
