Section 37 Until all is killed
Section 37 Until all is killed
Zhang Chengchuan was escorted into the corner by two thugs, and when a rifle was pressed against his head, the old man only squirmed his mouth and did not say anything. The ordinary people watching from afar had not yet recovered from the shock of the previous moment, when they suddenly heard a piercing gunshot. The executioners are like a machine that only knows how to kill, and they don't care whether the person in front of them is a devil or a person who has committed a heinous crime, they do what they are told, and they do not hesitate to receive the order, as if they are on the battlefield, and they will not move forward when they hear the horn of the charge.
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the corpse that was constantly twitching, looking at the person nicknamed "Zhang Bancheng" who was like the emperor of the soil in Yifeng. Even Hu Linglong gasped, his eyes looking at the stone were full of fear, he really couldn't imagine what kind of person this young man beside him was, dozens of people with heads and faces in Yifeng who even knew how to shoot a gun, and he didn't even frown. Especially Zhang Chengchuan, this is a person who even the county magistrate has to be polite when he sees him, this young regiment commander actually said that he would kill him, without the slightest hesitation and hesitation, it seems that it is not much more serious than pinching an insignificant ant to death.
The thick smell of blood wafted in the air and made people feel sick, but the common people couldn't vomit anymore, for a period of time, they almost vomited everything in their stomachs, and even the gastric juice was gone, watching one after another officials and rich landlords were pulled to the front of the stage for public trial, and then they were pulled aside and shot, after such a long time, they have gradually become accustomed to this kind of scene.
"Good, good kill!" "Kill, such a beast should have been killed a long time ago......
The people around finally came to their senses, this time, they cheered excitedly, let out a shocking applause, and recalled everything they had just heard about Zhang Chengchuan, they couldn't help but have palpitations. In the past, they only knew that "Zhang Bancheng" was rich and land, and they only knew that the Zhang family lived a fairy-like life, but for their lives, they didn't know much except envy and jealousy. However, when they heard that Zhang Chengchuan had actually asked horse bandits to wash a village in blood in order to occupy dozens of hectares of fertile land, they realized how crazy these people's thirst for money was. In addition to the previous acts of seeking money and killing people, using all kinds of subordinate means to force people to borrow usury, and so on, they suddenly discovered in vain that the reason why these people are rich is that they are eating their flesh and drinking their blood.
They let out bursts of cheers and roars, as if they wanted to vent their carnal fears and the anger of all these years, and it is conceivable that if it were not for the appearance of these military masters, sooner or later they would one day become the nourishment of these people like those who died tragically, and everything they had would be reduced to their family property, and their wives and daughters would become the playthings and servants of others.
Shi looked at the angry people and nodded, this is like a human being, flesh and blood dare to fight, this is a human being, willing to be oppressed, willing to be a cow and a horse, what is the difference between that and a beast? He coughed lightly and waved his hand into the distance. A miracle happened, although his voice was not loud and his movements were not loud, but when the people were crowded all around, and even the houses were full of people, everyone quieted down, and they looked at the young general quietly, and their hearts could not help but have an urge to bow and worship.
"Our independent regiment was ordered to take over Yifeng to block the enemy, and if there are people in the army who harass the people and bullies the weak, they will be killed." The cold voice of the stone spoke, and when combined with the bloody scene of dozens of people who had been shot dead before, the hearts of everyone were shaken like a thunderclap. Immediately afterwards, the people spread the words one by one, and they couldn't help but thunder with joy in all directions, and they became more and more respectful of the army in front of them.
Shi Shi waved his hand, and then said: "I only know how to fight, not civil affairs, so I only ask for three points from Yifeng's fathers and fellow villagers, 'Death to the murderer, injury and theft.'" After speaking, the stone confessed a few words to Lin Xiufeng, turned around and entered the county government compound, and he was no longer interested in asking about the remaining small fish and shrimp.
The speed of the subsequent interrogation was significantly accelerated, seeing the mountains of corpses piled up on the side, and watching the once powerful figures in Yifeng County fall in a pool of blood one by one, the officials and wealthy businessmen behind were directly frightened and confessed to their previous crimes. In particular, what made Hu Linglong sigh was that every time the autumn tax on rice and grain was collected in the past, these people tried every means to prevaricate the relationship. Today, as soon as he reported the amount of money he had stolen, these people shouted loudly without exception and were willing to give it according to the threefold punishment, and the sincerity of his attitude and the urgency of his mood were the only things Hu Linglong had ever seen in his life.
In the face of this naked death threat, everything seems insignificant, in front of a dead corpse, what wealth, status, identity, all lose meaning, only living is the most important thing.
People who are fearful often do not commit any heinous crimes, and some acts of bullying neighbors and evading taxes naturally do not constitute any crime of shooting and killing heads, otherwise indiscriminately killing people is very likely to cause panic among the people. The departure of the stone also seems to be a signal, after killing all those who have committed the most heinous crimes by forceful means, the remaining people are just small landlords, warn and intimidate them, let them restrain a little in the future, and really kill all the people, but it will be more troublesome. However, how did the small landlords know about their thoughts? So when Lin Xiufeng shouted out the words that he would not pursue the matter after handing over the fine, these people collapsed to the ground one by one excitedly, unable to get up for a long time. And their families are even more excited to kowtow, and they can pick up a life on the head of the ghost gate, these heads are really cost-effective.
In the evening, what was originally like a mess ended like a mess in the hands of Shi and the others. Originally, according to Shishi's plan, according to the news found out by the brothers of the reconnaissance company some time ago, they mainly dealt with the wealthy businessmen led by those few people, but Gong Suchang and Hu Linglong were unexpected surprises, with their participation, especially Hu Linglong, with his understanding of the county's field grain taxation, he dealt with these things as if they were at his fingertips, and it was easy. As a result, at the end of the day, more than eighty percent of the wealthy squires in Yifeng were robbed and shot, and the remaining two percent paid fines and missing taxes, becoming more and more law-abiding.
At night, Shi arranged for Zheng Yongchang and others to collect and sort out the information recorded during the day and register it into a book, this time in Yifeng to kill, in fact, the timing is not appropriate, the whole army is still at a critical juncture, this situation at this time, I am afraid it will bring a lot of trouble to Shangfeng, but in order for the brothers of the independent regiment to be fed and drunk, there is enough food and salary to deal with possible battles, Shi has no other choice.
Zheng Yongchang and the secretary continued to fight at night, one by one exhausted, especially Zheng Yongchang, this time it can be regarded as a great achievement, all the affairs are on his busy from beginning to end, at this time there have been two or three days without closing his eyes, this situation is still rare in non-war periods. However, Zheng Yongchang himself is very busy, here, he can feel the stone's 100% trust in him, in addition to the daily regimental affairs, this time he was promoted to the commander of the communications company, and now the big things related to the future of the whole regiment are responsible for him as the leader, this trust is not something that ordinary people can have.
The so-called soldier dies for his confidant, and the use of stones is undoubtedly so that Zheng Yongchang feels that absolute trust, and it also makes him swear that no matter what order the regiment commander makes, as long as he can do it, he will definitely do his best to complete it. Who doesn't want to win the trust of Shangguan? Who doesn't want to prove their worth? Now that the opportunity is in front of us, how can we miss it?
Looking at their busy figures, Shi Shi was quite unexpectedly idle this time, and he found that there are some things that are not impossible to let others do them, just like the military department, just like Yifeng here, whether it is Wu Zihuai or Zheng Yongchang, they seem to be handling things far better than he imagined, which makes him ponder.
At night, the dusty Wu Zihuai rushed back from Wanzai, and as soon as he saw the stone, he hurriedly said: "Tuanzuo, how is Yifeng's affairs handled?" Things seem to have changed! After speaking, he looked at the situation around him, and then looked at Zheng Yongchang and the others who were busy on the side, and couldn't help but stare at the boss, looking extremely surprised.
Before he left, the regiment headquarters was still in the tent in the area of Chenjiazhuang, which had only been seen for a few days, and had actually moved into the city, and it seemed that this was still the seat of the former county government.
At this time, Liu Wenfeng, Gao Dazhui, Li Wenguang and others who heard the movement rushed over one after another, in order not to disturb the work of Zheng Yongchang and others, they were chatting in the next room before, and when they heard Wu Zihuai's voice in vain, they also rushed over.
Seeing that several chief officers of the regimental headquarters company were here, the wry smile on Wu Zihuai's face was even worse, he frowned and stared at everyone and asked, "Tuanzao, what have you done in Yifeng?" ”
Shi Shi saw something unusual in his expression, but he asked calmly: "Brother Wu didn't stay in Wanzai, and ran back in the dust, but what happened over there in Wanzai?" ”
