Chapter 038: Greedy for Life and Afraid of Death

readx;?“ Arrest these Diao people who refuse to move away and bring them back to Jiandong County to be imprisoned. "Yang Hao directly commanded, "You organize other people to start moving, His Royal Highness King Yi has already received the emperor's holy decree, and there will be no problem."www.biquge.info The flood is coming, please ask Lord Zhang as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, the lower official obeyed. Master Zhang responded, and then began to follow Yang Hao's instructions to arrest those who refused to move away and sent them to Jiandong County.

Yang Hao himself also returned to Jiandong County to wait for the news, just waiting for all the people of Ji'an County to move away, and then he could order the to be blown up and the river dredged.

Most of the people still want to save their lives, but there are still a group of people who are stubborn and feel that the imperial court's measures to control the water are simply miserable, after all, in the past, the water control was to build dikes and protect Ji'an County, but now they are forced to leave their homeland where they have lived for many years, and Ji'an County will cease to exist.

Things are going on in an orderly manner, and Yiguo has already received the emperor's decree, and when Gu Qingming and the others have not yet set off from the capital, they began to prepare for the relocation of the victims.

Soon, the entire Ji'an County, including the county government, all the people have been moved, and Lord Zhang personally took the people of Ji'an County to move to Yiguo, and arrived safely under the escort of the Yiguo army.

And those people who refused to cooperate, Yang Hao was afraid that something would happen on the road, so he was still locked up in the Jiandong County Ya.

Two days later, Ji'an County was empty, leaving only some dilapidated houses or things that could not be taken away.

Everything was ready, Yang Hao, Sun Hui and Gu Qingming, with a group of people, surveyed the terrain near the embankment in Ji'an County, and chose a relatively high place to project gunpowder onto the embankment in the way of projection to blow up the embankment.

On this day, the doors and windows of every house in Jiandong County were closed, and no one went out, and because the Jiandong County Ya imprisoned the black-clothed assassins and some disaster victims, Gu Yan personally led the troops to prevent any accidents.

All they heard was a few loud rumblings in the river not far away, followed by the sound of a flood rushing by, which made people tremble, as if in the next second, these floods were about to rush and drown everything.

However, all this was a false alarm, the embankment was blown up, the river was unimpeded, and soon flooded the relatively low-lying Ji'an County, the whole of Ji'an County was a vast ocean, and those former houses and streets were all submerged under this monstrous wave.

The embankment was blown up, half of the task has been completed, and the rest is to organize some soldiers and people to dig the river, cut the bend and straighten, and sort out the river according to the plan formulated by the imperial court before.

On the day the embankment was bombed, taking advantage of Gu Qingming's absence, an unknown person infiltrated the Jiandong County Ya Nei and wanted to break into the prison to inquire about the situation, but when he was evacuating, he was discovered by Gu Yan and fled in a hurry.

In the evening, Gu Qingming and the others came back from outside, and Gu Yan immediately told him about the unknown person during the day.

"It seems that this person should be the Beidi man who attacked last night, and the purpose of his coming should be to find out the truth. Gu Qingming said, "If it is unexpected, they should have a move in the near future and want to rescue this person." ”

"General, what do we need to do?" Gu Yan asked, "Actually, according to the meaning of his subordinates, this Lord Yang doesn't need to protect him at all, anyway, the purpose of sending him out this time is also to let him die here, why should the general ignore his own safety and save him from danger again and again?"

"You can't say that. Gu Qingming said, "Yang Hao, this person, is dignified in Beijing on weekdays, but behind his back, he is corrupt and corrupt, bullying others, it is indeed a great crime, and the emperor sent him to control the water, and he really wants him to die here." But no matter what, he can't die at the hands of the Beidi. ”

Yang Hao's official position in Daning is not above 10,000 people under one person, but it should not be underestimated, after all, he is in the position of imperial history, and he is also the second place among civil officials. No matter how guilty he is, no matter how much the emperor wants to get rid of him, he can't let him die at the hands of the Beidi people, otherwise it will increase the arrogance of the Beidi people in vain, and the prestige of Daning will be damaged.

So these few times, Gu Qingming has been protecting Yang Hao, and he is also waiting for Zhou Taichang's people to arrive, but he didn't expect it, but he didn't move.

"What the general said is that the subordinate will immediately go and arrange to prevent those Beidi people from attacking. Gu Yan said, and then gave up.

Now that Ji'an County has been submerged, all the people who were imprisoned because they did not want to move have also been released, and for a while, these people were a little complaining. But the matter has become a foregone conclusion, and they have no choice but to obey the arrangement of the Jiandong County Guard, temporarily live in Jiandong County for one night, and then move to Yiguo.

These people were placed near the county office, and Gu Jiajun set up tents for these people to live in, and prepared dinner for them so that they could eat and rest.

When night fell, the county government sent people to send some porridge and steamed buns to these people, so that they could eat their stomachs, but after one of them ate the steamed buns, he suddenly foamed at the mouth, fell to the ground, and lost his breath in an instant.

"Don't eat it, this steamed bun is poisonous—"

In the crowd, I don't know who shouted, and then all the people threw away the steamed buns in their hands, bit the steamed buns in their mouths and spit on the ground, and then kicked over the porridge sent out by the county government, and the crowd was excited.

"It seems that the old man sent from Beijing doesn't want to take care of us anymore, just because we don't want to leave our homeland, not only will they lock us up in prison, but they will also give us poisonous steamed buns and poison us, so they will save trouble. Someone in the crowd said, "We can't sit still, we must let that dog officer give us an explanation!"

"yes, give me an explanation—"

Because of these few words of incitement, coupled with the fact that someone died first, these people had preconceived notions that it was the officials from Beijing who didn't want to care about them, so they wanted to kill them.

So, all the people got up one after another, found some weapons such as sticks and shovels nearby, rushed towards the Jiandong County Ya, gathered at the door of the county Ya, and began to smash the door.

"Hand over the dog officer—"

"Murder pays for life—"

......

Voices like this quickly spread to the county government, leaving everyone a little confused, completely unaware of what was going on.

"Gu Yan, go see what's going on. When Gu Qingming heard the movement, he immediately commanded, he was worried, and he always felt that something bad was about to happen.

"Yes, General. Gu Yan took the order and left in a hurry.

At this time, not only Gu Qingming, but also Yang Hao and Sun Hui, as well as Wu Qianwen and Lord Du, the county guard, also came out of the room one after another, stood in the courtyard, listening to the movement outside the county yamen, and didn't know what was going on for a while.

Soon, Gu Yan came back, told everyone the truth, and said that there was already a common man who was poisoned and died because he ate the steamed buns taken out by the county government, so it caused the anger of the people.

"What can I do about this? There are forty or fifty of these people, and if they smash the door together, I am afraid that they will soon be broken in. When Lord Du heard this, he frowned, "However, the steamed buns of the county government are steamed together, and everyone eats them, why did they poison people just outside?"

"I'm afraid it's not the steamed bun problem, but someone deliberately wants to take advantage of these people and want to fish in troubled waters to do something. Gu Qingming's eyes flashed slightly, and he said so.

The sound of slamming the door outside is getting louder and louder, and the strength of fifty people should not be underestimated, and the number of officials inside the door is limited, even if they keep resisting, they will almost be unable to resist.

Although there are also Gu Qingming's personal soldiers outside, these are all ordinary people in Ji'an County, and they are not enemy troops, let alone heavy-handed, so even if there are personal soldiers, they will not play much role.

"General Gu, what do you mean by this? Could it be that there is any other conspiracy?" Yang Hao listened to Gu Qingming's words, and immediately said, "I am the emperor's personal inspector, General Gu, you were ordered to accompany me, the purpose is to protect me, this ...... My life depends entirely on General Gu. ”

After Yang Hao finished speaking with a frightened expression, he turned around and wanted to walk towards the room, he actually wanted to throw the pair of messes to Gu Qingming to deal with, and he didn't care about anything with both hands. He also did not care that he personally gave the order to put those people in prison.

At the moment when Yang Hao was about to leave the courtyard, the people outside actually managed to climb over the wall and enter, several people jumped down from the wall, holding sticks in their hands, and began to besiege everyone, and at the same time, the gate of the county government was also knocked open, and the people rushed in with hoes and shovels.

There was chaos in the courtyard.

Gu Qingming asked Gu Yan to bring his own soldiers in, no matter what, he couldn't let these people disturb the county government, he had to subdue them first, and then gather them to explain, otherwise the situation would only get worse.

Wu Qianwen was also in the courtyard and was shocked to see such a situation. It was the first time she had seen such a chaotic scene, even though she had grown up in the army in the past, but because General Wu had a strict management of the army, she had never had such chaos, not to mention that the soldiers and the people were fighting together.

At this time, suddenly, several black-clothed people descended from the sky, and without saying a word, they directly killed Yang Hao.

Before Yang Hao could return to the room, he saw these men in black coming towards him, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, trying to close the distance between himself and the men in black.

Gu Qingming sensed the arrival of the men in black, drew his sword, stepped forward, and fought with these men in black.

The personal soldiers in his hands could have helped, but because they were entangled by these people, they couldn't get out, and Gu Qingming fell into a lonely battle.

At the same time, there was also movement on the side of the prison, and there seemed to be a few screams, and then several black-clothed figures swept past the side of the corridor, holding the black-clothed man who was ordered to be severely interrogated by Yang Hao.

Gu Qingming knew that all this today was a bureau set up by this group of Beidi people in order to rescue their companions, first using the people of Ji'an County to contain the officials and personal soldiers, and then the soldiers were divided into two ways, four of them fought with Gu Qingming, so that he had no time to separate, and the other three went to the prison to rescue their companions, everything fell into place, and nothing went wrong.
