Chapter 14: Rebel with Me!

Early the next morning, Mo Qian personally sat in the government and successfully took over the whole city.

Under the government hall, Zhu Yihao of Yichun County, and Wang Yingbao, the chief bookkeeper, are kneeling under the hall waiting for trial.

Last night, Mo Qian quickly captured the city with lightning speed, which caught these officials off guard.

The official mansions of Yuanzhou Mansion and Yichun County Mansion were all taken away, and only the prefect Tian Younian and Tongzhi Shi Yansheng escaped because they were not in Fucheng.

Mo Qian didn't embarrass these officials, but he didn't intend to let them go so easily.

Most of these officials have not done much good deeds, but they often kill the people.

Yichun County Cheng Zhu Yihao is even more evil in the county.

This person is a native of Nanzhili, born as a prisoner, he was bought by his family with money, and later participated in the township examination, and failed twice in the examination, so he simply stopped participating in the imperial examination, and directly let the family spend 1,000 taels to buy a Yichun County Chengdo.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Zhu Yihao successfully took office as the county magistrate of Yichun County, and as soon as he entered the county office, he colluded with Zheng Qiuping, the magistrate of the county.

The two of them tried their best to embezzle in various ways, and their reputation among the people was like that of rats crossing the street.

Others Mo Qian can not be killed, but this Zhu Yihao is certain to die today!

Mo Qian wrote the notice and sent someone to post it at the door of the mansion, signed by Mo Qian.

The reason why he wanted to change his name to Mo Wen was because Mo Qian was afraid of the reputation of his teacher Meng Yanqing.

This morning, he didn't see his mentor, and when he inquired, he learned that Meng Yanqing had been transferred to Nanchang Mansion as a magistrate.

In order not to embarrass his teacher, Mo Qian still decided to change his name to Mo Wen.

The notice reads, but if the people know which official is corrupt and perverts the law, even if they come to the government to complain, as long as it is implemented, they will be immediately beheaded!

The people heard the shouts of killing in the city yesterday and were so frightened that they did not even dare to go out in the morning.

It wasn't until dawn that a few people dared to go out of their homes, and when they saw a group of people dressed like peasants patrolling the streets with weapons, they knew that the sky had changed.

At this time, Mo Qian even sent farmers to beat gongs and drums throughout the whole process, calling on the people to step out of their homes enthusiastically.

After a while, the county town was restored to its former vitality.

When the people heard that corrupt officials were being tried at the gate of the palace, they cheered and flocked to the government one after another.

Mo Qian sat high on the official position of the prefect, holding a shocking wood in his hand, looking at the group of officials of all sizes in front of him.

Not long after the notice was posted, a citizen finally came in with the boldness.

This is a man about 40 years old, and he carries a burden on his shoulders, and the basket is filled with home-grown sweet potatoes.

As soon as the man came in, he knelt on the ground and said that he would sue the county Cheng Zhu Yihao and the chief bookkeeper Wang Yingbao.

Mo Qian asked him what crime he wanted to accuse the two of them, and the man said that Zhu Yihao and Wang Yingbao had teamed up with the magistrate to frame his family for harboring thieves in order to obtain his family's shop in the county seat, and tortured him to extract a confession, and sent him to prison on this charge.

In order to save him, his relatives had no choice but to dedicate the shop to Zhu Yihao, and he escaped and picked up a life.

As he spoke, the man took off his shirt and exposed his upper body.

I saw that the man's back and chest were covered with various scars, apparently left by the whipping.

Mo Qian glanced at the man, patted the shocked wood, and asked loudly, "Is what you said true?" ”

The man knelt down at the foot of the hall and said, "My lord, what the villain said is true, if there is a lie, I would like to be thundered by the sky." ”

"I'm not an adult, I'm a rebel! Get up! ”

With the first person at the beginning, there are more people who come forward to report and expose later.

Some said that Zhu Yihao stole women, some said that he forcibly married a girl from whom's family as a concubine, and even a prostitute from Yihong Courtyard stood up and said that Zhu Yihao didn't give money every time he prostituted.

Mo Qian was immediately furious when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that this kid would eat and drink for nothing in Yihong Courtyard, and he would dare to prostitute for nothing!

The people were instantly furious, and they shouted to put Zhu Yihao and Wang Yingbao to death.

Mo Qian looked at the excited appearance of the people, and wanted to give this Zhu Yihao a Ling Chi, but unfortunately the executioner of Yuanzhou Mansion did not have this skill, so this punishment could only be counted.

However, Zhu Yihao's death was definitely dead, Mo Qian sentenced him to a decisive decision, and directly asked Lu Zhao to pull him and Wang Yingbao outside the yamen, kneel on the ground and tie his hands behind his back, and stuff a strip of cloth in his mouth.

Zhu Yihao and Wang Yingbao couldn't shout when they wanted to, so they could only kneel on the ground and tremble, with feces and urine flowing everywhere.

At this time, the people finally found the time to vent their anger in their hearts, and all the rotten leaves, rotten eggs, small stones, and even bricks and the like all greeted the two of them.

Before the execution, the two were almost stoned to death.

Mo Qian saw that the people were almost venting, so he slowly took out an arrow and threw it.

"Slash!"

The two knives went down, the two heads fell to the ground, and there was joy at the door of the mansion.

After beheading the corrupt officials, it is time to behead the officials, Mo Qian concocted the law and continued to let the people report it.

This time, he found out seven officials and arresters who were bullying and harming the people in the county, Mo Qian didn't say a word, and directly let them out and behead them.

All of a sudden, the entrance of the government became a vegetable market, blood flowed everywhere, and when the wind blew, there was a fishy smell.

After slaughtering a group of corrupt officials, it's time to interrogate the remaining officials.

Meng Daohong, the general judge in the Yuanzhou Mansion, Wang Bingzhong, and Lu Zitian, were all brought to court.

These three Mo Qian were a little impressed.

Meng Daohong is a native of Jiangxia, born in Gongshi, Chongzhen came to Yuanzhou for five years to serve as a general judge, and only sat in this position for two years.

In the past two years, Mo Qian hadn't heard of any bad behavior from him.

As for the official Wang Bingzhong, this person is more honest than Meng Daohong, and has a good reputation in Yuanzhou, and the people have to shout Lord Wang when they see him.

And in history, it didn't take long for this person to be promoted to the head of the household department and joined the central government.

After experiencing Lu Zitian, this person has no sense of existence, and he basically belongs to the kind of person who receives a salary and does not do anything in Yuanzhou Mansion, and he doesn't even have the right in his hands, let alone harm the people.

The three people in front of him, Mo Qian, really didn't know what to do.

Kill? Or not kill?

Kill it, it's a bit too brutal, and people haven't made any mistakes, and they have a good official reputation among the people.

If you don't kill them, then you can't expect them to rebel with you, right?

Mo Qian felt that it would be more difficult to let them rebel with him than to ascend to the sky.

However, the three people in front of him are all rare talents, and if they can really be convinced, it will be of great help to their own rebellion.

He invited the three of them into the back hall and went straight to the point: "Three adults, Daming Jiangshan is terminally ill and there is no cure.

The three of them are all people in the officialdom, and they must know better than me about the state situation, and I don't want to raise the flag to rebel, in order to overthrow the rotten Ming Dynasty and establish a new dynasty.

I won't hide it anymore, but I just ask you one word, do you descend or not? ”

Meng Daohong smiled slightly and said, "King Mo, dare to ask if you think you can defend this Yuanzhou Mansion?" ”

"I didn't think about defending Yuanzhou Mansion and attacking Fucheng, but it was just my temporary intention!"

Meng Daohong thought that Mo Qian would be arrogant and say that he could defend it, but he didn't expect Mo Qian to say that he didn't plan to defend it.

He asked again, "King Mo, dare to ask why do you think you can establish a new dynasty?"

As far as I know, the Ming Dynasty is indeed full of smoke now, but the biggest thief is Li Zicheng, Gao Yingshen, Zhang Xianzhong and others in Shaanxi.

Besides, there are so many anti-thieves in the world, and there are more anti-thieves than you.

You've only just occupied a county, so where do you have the confidence to think you can build a new dynasty? ”

Meng Daohong's tone was sarcastic, as if he was mocking Mo Qian's arrogance and ignorance.

"Of course I have, because I have something that all the thieves in the world don't have!"

"What's that?"

"I have a way to make the whole world willing to rebel against me."

"Oh? What can be done to make the people willingly rebel against you? ”

Mo Qian smiled slightly: "Two words, land!" ”

"Land?" Hearing these two words, Meng Daohong and Wang Bingzhong couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Yes, land, the reason why the Ming Dynasty has fallen to this point has nothing to do with the Jin Kingdom outside the Guan, and it has nothing to do with the domestic thieves, but with the land in the hands of the common people!"

"Come on!" Wang Bingzhong said with some eagerness.

"The land is the lifeblood of the people, I am in China, after 5,000 years, the people have always taken the land as the foundation of their lives.

If there is no land, the people will have no food to eat, what do you think they will do? ”

"Rebellion!" Lu Zitian said.

"Yes, rebellion, why is the Ming Dynasty rebelling against thieves now, in the final analysis, two words, land!

Since the beginning of the apocalypse, there has been a drought in Shaanxi, and the people have no harvest, so in order to eat, they can only sell their land to those landlords, and since then they have become tenants of the landlords.

However, after the landlords bought the people's fields at a low price, they concealed the population and did not pay taxes on the fields to the imperial court.

In addition, the current imperial court levies and increases salaries every year, and the burden of the people has become increasingly heavy, and the taxes have not decreased, but have increased year by year.

Moreover, the court was corrupt, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant, as far as I know, in the first year of Chongzhen, there was a great hunger in Shaanxi, and everyone was cannibalistic.

The imperial court allocated 100,000 stone of grain for disaster relief, but as a result, the 100,000 stone grain was only 5,000 stone in the hands of the victims in Shaanxi.

Before the 100,000 stone grain left Beijing, half of it was embezzled by the officials of the Ministry of Officials, and another 20,000 stone was embezzled by the governor of Shaanxi, and the prefect of Shaanxi was also greedy for 20,000 stones, and the remaining 5,000 were embezzled by the local squires and landlords in Shaanxi.

Such a rotten dynasty, you say it will not die? Isn't it intolerable? ”

"Then what can you do to guarantee that the people will follow you in rebellion?"

"It's simple, Junda!"

"What's the law?"

"Kill the unscrupulous landlords, force them to hand over their fields, and then distribute them evenly among the people.

At this time, whether there are thieves or officials and soldiers to requisition, the people will fight hard for the land at home and protect the field! ”

After listening to Mo Qian's words, Wang Bingzhong's eyes changed.

After he and Meng Daohong glanced at each other, an idea suddenly came to their hearts.

This kid rebelled like this, but he was much more powerful than the group of homeless people in Shaanxi!
