Xu Laosan was a veteran, and he was shot through the shoulder by the Tartar Wuzhen Chao soldier at close range.

Although the injury has healed, his right arm is not very strong, and even doing farm work is somewhat affected. After he returned home from the army, he served as the chief instructor of the peasants and soldiers in the town, with no grade or salary, but he could go to the county government office every year to receive an instructor allowance.

When he is busy, he goes to the fields to farm, and when he is free, he gathers farmers and soldiers for training, this is the life of Xu Laosan.

The seedlings are about to be jointed, and the month from transplanting to jointing is a critical period for whether the rice is harvested, and a large amount of nutrients are needed to grow the rice organs.

The eldest son is in elementary school, and the second son and eldest daughter, who have not yet reached school age, have come to help top dressing the seedlings today.

Xu Laosan and his wife each carried a basket of silkworm dung, and a son and a daughter followed them, spreading the silkworm dung evenly in the rice field. Can't top dressing too much at a time, it will excite the seedlings to death, and you have to carry out an appropriate amount of top dressing every three or five times.

After a busy moment, someone came to the field and asked loudly, "But the veteran Xu Zhengliang?" ”

"It's me." Xu Laosan looked at each other suspiciously.

This person stood on the ridge, opened his baggage and took out a piece of clothing, and quickly put the white uniform on his body: "Cao Benshu, the clean government inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the corrupt officials in Quzhou. The current military department is here, and the veteran Xu Zhengliang immediately returned to the team to assist the integrity inspector to arrest the criminals! ”

"Yes!"

The peasants, who had just bent down to apply fertilizer, straightened their waists as if they were conditioned, and saluted the incorruptible officials in the sun.

Xu Laosan put the silkworm dung on the edge of the field, instructed his wife and children a few words, and followed Cao Benshu away. As he walked, he said, "The military department ordered me to show it, and the officer will take it, and I can see it." I touched the silkworm dung with both hands, and it was still dirty. ”

Cao Benshu took out the order of the military department, and then took out his waist card, and explained: "Quzhou officials, there is a lot of collusion. Afraid of leaking the news, he could only call on peasants and soldiers to arrest people. ”

"Catch!"

Xu Laosan no longer doubted it, and said: "We peasants and soldiers are not allowed to take care of local affairs, and there is nothing we can do if we see corrupt officials and corrupt officials." It's good that you're here, the town mayor, the village chief, and the farmer president here are all bad people. They did not dare to provoke the peasants, but they dared to bully the peasants who had no one to support them. At the beginning, everyone built the canal together, but now they have to irrigate the fields, and other farmers are allowed to irrigate the fields. ”

"And that kind of thing?" Cao Benshu was even more angry in her heart.

Xu Laosan said: "These bastards, you can do a lot of bad things." ”

Cao Benshu said angrily: "Village and town officials and peasant associations can occupy the canal, so who is willing to contribute to the construction of the canal in the future?" ”

"Isn't it?" Xu Laosan said indignantly, "In the past few years, the village chief and the peasant association gave an order, and the whole village, men, women and children went to build roads and dig ditches. Now that they can't shout, everyone is reluctant to contribute, so the village chief has to lead people to whip them. ”

"The first one will arrest the village chief!" Cao Benshu was furious.

Xu Laosan's trouser legs were still pulled, and there was mud on his feet and calves. He walked to the village drying ground, where an iron plate hung that could be used as an iron bell to ring.

"Dangdang, dang!"

From time to time, peasant soldiers who were working rushed from the fields, and in the blink of an eye seven or eight came.

Xu Laosan commanded: "Xu Er, you go to the east of the village to ring the bell." Liu Si, you go to the west of the village to ring the bell. Zhang Da, you go and inform the peasants and soldiers in Springhead Village. Tom...... When each group arrives, they will go to the training ground outside the town to gather! ”

"Yes!"

One peasant soldier after another, doing what was ordered.

They did not carry weapons or wear armor. Even barefoot, with trouser legs pulled, he looked like a peasant.

But the action was extremely swift and methodical.

The village chief and the villagers didn't take it seriously, thinking that the imperial court was going to fight again, so they urgently recruited peasant soldiers to fight.

At noon, the peasants and soldiers of the whole town arrived, and only one sick person did not come.

Xu Laosan shouted: "Go to the arsenal, fully armed!" ”

Everyone knew that it was an urgent task, so they didn't ask much, and they lined up and ran to the arsenal.

The bamboo armor, bamboo helmets, wooden shields and bamboo spears are all homemade by the peasants and soldiers. When encountering the regular army, it is not a problem to exterminate the rogue bandits.

"Stand upright!"

"Look to the right, look forward. At ease! ”

"A team obeys orders!"

"In!"

"Surrounded the town office, and all the officials inside were seized. If the mayor Zheng Changming is not there, ask where to go and search immediately! ”

"Yes!"

"The second team obeys the order!"

"In!"

"Go to Niuwei Village and arrest the village head Liu Yao and the president of the peasant association, Xu Li. If you want to resist, you can kill them on the spot! ”

"Yes!"

"Three teams obey orders!"

"In!"

“……”

The peasant soldiers, who usually only knew how to train and were not allowed to interfere in local affairs, were showing their fangs in their hometowns for the first time at this moment.

In the town office, Zheng Changming was there, and there was a cup of hot tea brewing on the desk.

In the countryside in ancient times, there were not many entertainment activities, so you could watch big dramas when you were in the market. I can't even buy it, Zheng Changming's book was bought back in the city.

"Oh no, no!"

The door was pushed open suddenly, and Zheng Changming hurriedly put it away and covered the three words "Jin X Mei" on the cover.

Zheng Changming reprimanded angrily: "If there is an emergency, you should knock on the door first!" ”

Before the man could speak, he was slammed down by the peasant soldiers. The other two peasant soldiers entered the house and grabbed Zheng Changming, and dragged them outside without saying a word.

Zheng Changming was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Rebellion, rebellion, what are you going to do?" ”

Cao Benshu glanced at this guy and said to Xu Laosan: "Your Majesty has an order, and special affairs will be handled." If the town mayor, village head, and peasant association commit crimes, they do not need to alarm the county officials, and convene the people of the whole town to hold a public trial meeting. This is a special case and should not be done in the future! The school teachers in the town selected three people of high moral character and recorded the public trial process together. After the public trial is completed, he shall not be lynched, and he will wait for me to return to receive it. ”

Xu Laosan said excitedly: "I know which gentlemen are good people." ”

Cao Benshu said again: "You arrange the matter, leave some guards and prisoners, and take the rest of the peasant soldiers with me." ”

Twelve incorruptible inspectors summoned the peasants and soldiers of twelve towns across three counties.

A few days later, they directly surrounded the city.

Of course, there were also some peasant soldiers who went to surround the Zheng family's mansion in the suburbs, as well as the Zheng family's ancestral home and mine.

Looking at the peasants and soldiers outside the courtyard wall, Zheng Hongyi was shocked. Then he forced himself to calm down, asked people to open the door, and went out with his head held high and scolded: "You peasant soldiers, do you really think of yourself as a Datong army?" I don't know whose house this is? Rapid ...... Slow down, don't arrest me, my son is the Ministry of Works, and he is a big official who is praised by His Majesty! I have led a horse for His Majesty, and I am in-laws with the second master......"

Halfway through this article, he was held down by the peasant soldiers, and the more he put his face on the ground, the more anxious he became.

The servants and thugs of the Zheng family were stunned, standing there at a loss.

It was Feng Yue who surrounded the Zheng family, and the chief instructor of the peasants and soldiers who was with him was called Xie Sanchuan.

Xie Sanchuan held a bamboo gun and pointed at the subordinates of the Zheng family: "No one is allowed to leave, whoever dares to escape or resist will be killed on the spot!" ”

Those thugs usually show off their might, but in the face of the peasant soldiers in formation, they instantly turned into shy little daughters-in-law, trembling and constantly retreating.

The peasant soldiers rushed up, and they were so frightened that they knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy, without the slightest courage to resist.

Quzhou Mansion.

Liu Anyong hurriedly ran to the second hall of Xiaohong's office, and said anxiously: "Fuzun, the peasants and soldiers have rebelled and besieged the city!" ”

Huang Fei smiled and said: "Don't panic, it was Your Majesty who came to the Holy Decree, and those peasants and soldiers all acted according to orders." ”

"Holy ...... Divine decree? Liu Anyong was even more alarmed.

Huang Fei slapped the table and said sharply: "Liu Anyong, are you guilty?" ”

Liu Anyong's knees were weak, and he was almost about to kneel, but he stood firm and said, "I...... Where did I come from? ”

"It's still a dead duck with a hard mouth, who are you here to arrest when you are those peasant soldiers?" Huang Fei sneered, "The Zheng family is finished this time, and you are also finished!" Even if you are corrupt and bend the law, you dare to cross the border to open a mine and forcibly occupy the people's farmland! ”

When Liu Anyong heard this, his face turned pale and he sat on the ground.

Outside the city.

Dai Wenmeng held up the military department's dispatch order and the clean government waist card: "The incorruptible officer of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is doing things, the military department is here, and the soldiers guarding the city will open the door quickly!" If you don't believe it, hang a man out of the city to check! ”

The guards of the cities in the hinterland belong to the local police system.

Soon, a policeman hung a basket out of the city, and after verifying the documents of the military department, he subconsciously asked: "Shangguan, why is there such a battle?" ”

Dai Wenmeng said angrily: "The police officer of Quzhou Mansion, if it can still be used, Lao Tzu can go to the countryside to transfer troops?" ”

The policeman was dumbfounded, knowing that the honest official was here to arrest corruption, and immediately said with a crying voice: "Shangguan Rongyu, only the official is guilty, how can we little police officers have any ability to bend the law for bribes?" ”

"Lao Tzu saw the little police officer bullying the vegetable farmer," Dai Wenmeng glared at him and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, open the city gate quickly, otherwise it will be a big crime of resisting the decree!" ”

The city gate was opened, and the peasants and soldiers entered.

After entering the city, Dai Wenmeng roared: "All the police officers in the city, hand over the weapons, return to your yamen, and wait for someone to send someone to review!" In accordance with the set task, the peasants and soldiers went to the yamen in the city to arrest people. Not a single official is allowed to let go, Lao Tzu has to try it slowly! ”

At first, the people in the city panicked, thinking that the peasants had rebelled.

Immediately saw the peasants and soldiers arresting the officials, they immediately understood, and they went out of the house to watch the excitement.

There were also many people who had been bullied, running with the peasant soldiers, telling which officials were bad guys. When they saw that the person who bullied them was caught, they were so excited that they knelt on the spot and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, long live Lord Qingtian!" ”

Integrity officials handling cases in a local area must not be tried alone, and must have a jury of local judicial officials throughout the entire process.

On the side of Quzhou Prefecture, three counties and one prefecture, if the village and town levels are also counted, more than 300 officials and civilians have been arrested. After arresting all the people, he went to Hangzhou to inform Yousi Yamen, which scared the top officials in Zhejiang into tears.

Quzhou Mansion is rotten like this, why don't Zhejiang's judicial and clean government officials know any news?

The first and second leaders of the relevant institutions in the province must all be held accountable!

Demotion at the least, dismissal at the worst!
