Volume 3: Hundred Tempered into Steel Chapter 52: The Death of Huang Xiaoqi

"Uncle Nine!"

The cry sounded from the front, and then infected everyone of the Huang clan behind him, Huang Xiaoqi raised it, and looked at Zhu Qizhen with guilt and determination.

"The emperor has no faith! The clansmen killed the Dog Emperor with me! Avenge the Ninth Uncle! ”

As soon as Uncle Jiu died, the scene did not ease anymore, and many people of the Huang clan picked up the farm tools beside them again, and roared angrily to rush towards Zhu Qizhen.

And the rest of the families who started together also changed their minds because of the scene in front of them. They all thought that the emperor was just trying to stabilize them, and after he gave up resistance, he would definitely make an example of himself and execute all of them in order to maintain the stability of his rule.

A great battle was ignited, and the perpetrators of the great war had quietly left the place, crossing the rooftop courtyard, and soon there was no trace of it.

And the child who prompted Huang Xiaoqi to do it was lying quietly on the roof not far away at this time, and his open little mouth seemed to be still shouting "Daddy".

"Dong Xing! Thunder suppression, try to save as many people as possible! ”

"Yes!"

"Guo Mao, Lin Fu, seeing that those who fanned the flames and made trouble were all found out, I want to break the body of this black hand behind the scenes!" At this moment, Zhu Qizhen no longer has the mind to use his temper in the place where he should be used.

"Yes!"

The people, who could have killed the chief military officer, were suppressed in place as soon as they fought. Fortunately, Zhu Qizhen's explanation that at this time, the Ming army did not use weapons of mass destruction such as bows and arrows, firearms, artillery, etc., mainly to subdue the people, which is also the reason why the war situation was stalemate.

At this moment, the shouting and killing in the city of Guangzhou shook the sky, and the people who had just been woken up put on their clothes and looked at the bright light that rushed to the sky, where was the location of the political envoy Yamen.

Zhu Qizhen's nose trembled, he didn't look at the battle, leaving Fan Zhong to watch the officials for himself, and he took Zeng Hui and Yin Bo into the yamen gatehouse.

"You two have seen the situation, and I now want you to tell you what you know." Zhu Qizhen no longer cares about anything unfathomable, what weightlessness, what political rules, he just wants to know who he wants to kill!

Zeng Hui and Yin Bo knelt on the ground at the same time, Zeng Hui said without the slightest hesitation: "Emperor Qiqi, the minister has been in Guangzhou for two years, and what the minister has seen in the past two years is simply appalling.

Xie Guang, the proprietor of the Huitong Money Village, and officials at all levels worked together to buy all the leasehold rights of Guantian and Tuntian, and took most of the Guangzhou land for himself.

When it came to the land rent collected in the imperial court's account, it was even higher than before, and the household department also praised the local officials for this, saying that they had made a pioneering deed, but they didn't know this so-called

Innovations are built on the blood and bones of the people.

After more than half of the acres of land in his hand, Xie Guang began to increase the land rent significantly, doubling in good years and doubling in bad years.

After a long time, the people flocked to cultivate the fields, but Xie Guang passed through the grain store and rice shop he operated, desperately lowered the purchase price, and squeezed all the people who did not cooperate with him to sell the grain at a low price.

If there is something to compete with, the government will intervene, and after sealing those grain stores, the natural time of farming will not be able to hold on for a long time. At this point, Xie Guang completely controlled the granary of Guangzhou, and even the government's grain had to look at his face.

Lord Xiang pursued a policy of non-interference with each other, neither asking the lower government offices, nor supervising the subordinate officials, resulting in a place where the government and Xie Guang had something to do with each other, collecting money and sharing the spoils together. ”

Appalling! Appalling! Zhu Qizhen's hand behind his back couldn't help but tremble, this was even worse than King Yi's behavior.

As if he was afraid that Zhu Qizhen would not think it was enough, Zeng Hui continued: "Does the emperor know how Zhang An, the uncle of An Xiangbo, died?" ”

"Could it be that Zhang An's death still has an inside story?" Zhu Qizhen could no longer hide his frightened look.

Zeng Hui smiled miserably and said, "The emperor is detailed!" Although Uncle An Xiangyan has a noble identity on weekdays, he has the identity of an uncle after all and does not participate in it.

It's just that this time in the chaos in Guangzhou, Anxiang Boxu really couldn't see it, and dealt with many generals in a fit of anger, and there was a Qin Cha to complement him, and the situation was already stabilized at that time, but then An Xiangbo died in Baiyun Mountain, and Qin Cha Geng Jiuchou and Wang Hong did not know whether they were alive or dead, and there was no news.

Although it is said on the surface that An Xiangbo died at the hands of the anti-thief, in fact, in the later Guangzhou officialdom, everyone knew that there were only 100 anti-thieves left in Baiyun Mountain that day, and it was not the so-called people who were forced to rebel who killed An Xiangbo, but the guard general dressed as Qiao Zhuang under him. ”

"Ahem, ahem." Zhu Qizhen couldn't help coughing, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty outside the door were like evil ghosts at this time, full of gloomy feelings.

"Ahem, then why didn't you report it to the court?" Zhu Qizhen asked weakly.

"If you don't want to, you really can't, Your Majesty!" Zeng Hui wiped her tears.

"Your Majesty, you must take care of your dragon body, these corrupt officials are still waiting for you to clean up!" Yin Bo persuaded.

"Please take care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty!" Zeng Hui seconded.

"Say! Ahem! ”

"The minister's excerpt can't even get out of the yamen, how can he be sent to the imperial court? But if there are some words that should not appear, the fold will be returned. For several years, the minister

After thinking of countless methods, they could not get the news out, and they have become a moat soaked in blood, maintaining their own luxurious life with human lives. Zeng Hui said hatefully.

Zhu Qizhen sat on the bed in the house suddenly, even though the Ming Dynasty's communication methods were not developed, transportation was underdeveloped, and the media was not developed, but such a big place could become like this because of a community of interests, which really refreshed his cognition.

If you can't be my person, you will be deprived of the least right to speak.

"Anything else?" It took Zhu Qizhen a long time to calm down, and his tone had returned to flatness.

Zeng Hui and Yin Bo both shook their heads, Zhu Qizhen closed his eyes tightly, covering the blood red in his eyes, and he instructed softly: "Remember, I can't say a word if I ask after I go out, and everything will be decided after the dust settles." ”

"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"

There was silence in the house, and the sound of gold and iron outside the house at this moment had gradually been replaced by wailing.

Even if an order has been given to keep their hands, how can there be uninjured and untrained civilians who will not be injured in a war, and even in the face of the regular army that has collapsed in the current health system, it is still vulnerable, even if there are military households that have been in the army for generations.

Fan Zhong's eyes were full of unbearability, and he also knew that these people were very innocent, but he couldn't do anything now.

His gaze swept across the battlefield, and finally stopped at the only place of resistance, which was Huang Xiaoqi's swarthy and sturdy body, surrounded by layers of guards.

"Surrender Huang Xiaoqi, the emperor has an order, and those who surrender will not be killed!" Fan Zhong respected the man with a strong backbone, and couldn't help but persuade.

But in fact, he knew that no matter what, it was impossible for these leaders to live, otherwise they were encouraging rebellion, no matter which dynasty or generation, as long as it was the emperor, it would never be tolerated.

"Hahaha!"

Huang Xiaoqi laughed wildly and didn't answer, his body was already covered with scars, red blood leaked from his dark skin, and a little silver light reflected in the dim light of the fire.

Looking at Huang Xiaoqi's appearance like a mad demon, the soldiers who besieged and killed were a little embarrassed, they had never seen this kind of person, this kind of person who seemed to be bent on death.

Huang Xiaoqi looked at the soldiers who were leaning over, raising the spear in their hands but not daring to approach, grinning to the maximum, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and the steel knife in his hand that had been circled with a blade no longer had the natural protective action, and slashed towards his enemies.

"Puff ......"

Huang Xiaoqi, who was full of spears, stared at a courtyard in the distance, and suddenly showed a happy smile, where was the person he loved the most beckoning to him, he took a step forward, and the three of them disappeared into the sky.

A body fell heavily.
