Chapter 145: Those anti-thieves really deserve to die
A cottage located in the deep mountains and old forests.
Hundreds of men dressed in various coarse cloth clothes were gathered around, looking at the four or five open wooden boxes in front of them, looking at each other, speechless.
And in those boxes, there are neatly stacked and new swords, guns and spears.
Seeing that the atmosphere froze.
A burly man immediately got up and found a stone grinder to stand on.
shouted: "Brothers, the emperor is deaf and unreasonable, he only knows how to exploit us poor people, and everyone pin their heads to their waists all day long, but the few coppers they get in exchange are not enough for themselves to eat."
What are we going to do to support our family?!
A few days ago, the mine in the east collapsed again, and more than a dozen brothers were buried alive in it, and when they were dug up, their bodies were all pulp!
But even if they died, the little money they received would be deducted by many officials and officials, and they forced the twelve or thirteen-year-old child to come out to replace his father's shortage! ”
Speaking of which.
The man's voice abruptly stopped.
He wiped his arm from his eyes, as if to wipe away the tears that had been shed by the tragic death of the miners.
The next moment.
The man's eyes were red, and his tone became choked, "Some brothers may not know that those two dolls who were forced out to stand up for the post also fell into the dark mine yesterday......"
There was a burst of whispering in the crowd.
Look at the crowd that is gradually stirring.
The man's eyes flashed, and he shouted reluctantly: "What kind of life our brothers live all day, everyone knows in their hearts, do you still want to call your children and live like this in the future?" ”
in the crowd.
Several men who had arranged it early immediately responded and shouted, "I don't want to!
There were loud shouts from above, and there were workers beside them, and everyone thought of their old days, of the young children at home, and then of the flowers that the man had said, and of the two baby miners who died in the mine......
Suddenly, a wave of blood surged into my heart.
"We don't want to!"
A red-faced, hoarse cry suddenly erupted.
Messy, but crazy......
"Ready-to-wear!"
Seeing this, an imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of the man's mouth.
Then he continued to shout: "Since you don't want to, then pick up the weapon in front of you, the emperor Lao'er and those corrupt officials want our lives, and everyone will take his life first!" ”
"That's right, we took their lives first......
It was still the first few people who took the lead in responding to the peace, shouting and squeezing out of the crowd, reaching out and grabbing two long knives from the boxes of weapons, looking as if they were going to rush out to kill corrupt officials in the next second.
With those who take the lead, latecomers naturally come forward one after another.
Wait until everyone has their weapons.
The man continued: "The emperor Lao'er and those dog officials wantonly squeezed and exploited us, making everyone worse than dogs, using our hard work to dig out ore and refining it into silver, eating, drinking and enjoying ourselves every day, but we can't even fill our stomachs!"
But from now on, we have to tell the emperor and those dog officials loudly that these 'mud legs' in their eyes are reversed today!
"It's the other way around!
"It's the other way around!
Under the fanning of the man, there were bursts of chanting, and the sound shook the sky......
……
"What? The other way around?! ”
With an exclamation, the tea cup in the hand of the Wenzhou prefect could no longer be held.
"Bang!"
The cups are shattered, and the tea is splashed.
But at this time, the prefect of Wenzhou, who didn't care about the hem of the official uniform being soaked, grabbed the messenger who came to report the news, and hurriedly asked: "That group of miners, is it really the opposite?" ”
"It's really the other way around, my lord!"
The categorical voice made the prefect in front of the messenger feel weak.
He sent the messenger to leave.
The prefect of Wenzhou sat down on the big chair in a gloomy manner, and said with a dejected face: "Now we are afraid that we are going to end, how can those mud-legged people dare to rebel?!" ”
As he spoke, he reluctantly saw the Wenzhou Mansion guard next to him.
A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the Wenzhou prefect, and he asked: "If we send troops to suppress it now, can we hope to take down that group of rebels and quell cholera?" ”
"I'm afraid it's too late!"
The garrison also had a sad face, "If it just starts, it will still work, but now there are tens of thousands of miners, and they have weapons and armor that they don't know where to go, and in desperation, our more than 1,000 soldiers can't beat it at all!" ”
"That's already tens of thousands?"
The prefect of Wenzhou was taken aback by the words of the garrison.
The guard said in a deep voice: "My lord, I think it's better to report this matter quickly, there seems to be some insider story!" ”
"The Insider?"
The prefect of Wenzhou was in good spirits, isn't this a ready-made reason to get away with it?!
So he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
The guard replied: "Among the rebellious miners, there are a few informants I have planted, and according to the information they overheard, the few people who fanned the miners to rise up seem to be White Lotus disciples......
"White Lotus Cultist?"
Wenzhou suddenly understood, and even scolded there, "His grandmother's, their grandsons, are trying to pick things up with us!" ”
Who can sit in the position of the prefect, who doesn't have a relationship behind him?
Although there is the White Lotus Sect blocking the knife in front, how can there be an impermeable wall in the world, I really think that no one knows who is standing in the shadows and handing the knife?
In the past, there was a drought in Shaanxi, and the actions of the White Lotus Sect shocked many people's jaws.
This is clearly preparing to tear his face with Emperor Chengde.
But in the end, Emperor Chengde is still in power and in charge of the Great Zhou, like this, he is facing the gong and drumming in front of him, and he is completely on the opposite side, who can please him?
No, with the loyal and brave uncle's troops cleared, the White Lotus Sect?
It's a completely vulnerable paper tiger!
It's just that what the prefect of Wenzhou never expected was that after the failure of the plan to take advantage of the drought, he wanted to take a risk on his own territory.
Who is he provoking whom?
The prefect of Wenzhou was extremely aggrieved......
"The group of blind beasts of the White Lotus Sect, where to go is not good, they actually chose Lao Tzu's territory! Isn't this a disguised way to tell the world that my jurisdiction is the most chaotic? ”
The prefect of Wenzhou was still scolding there.
The Wenzhou garrison next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
"In the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, who doesn't know your reputation as 'three feet high and Liu Papi'? In addition, there are many mines in Wenzhou, and you are extremely heavy, so where do you not choose here? ”
The guard complained in his heart, "It's really not a number?" ”
scolded for a while.
The prefect of Wenzhou gritted his back molars and said angrily: "I'm going to go to the court to say that the White Lotus Sect is especially unwilling, and is deliberately planning to provoke the miners in Wenzhou to rebel, and invite the army to come and suppress it!" ”
After learning that the White Lotus Sect had intervened in this rebellion, the prefect of Wenzhou suddenly became much better.
The words are not finished.
Then there was a guard in Wenzhou and said: "That group of miners and thieves must have robbed all the silver taels we refined this season, so they have the money to buy a large number of weapons and armor, and we must report it!" ”
Garrison, "......?? ”
"Good guy, this is going to directly keep the silver in the library secret?"
The guard's brows couldn't help jumping and jumping, and he was just about to say something, when he saw the four fingers stretched out by the Wenzhou prefect towards him......
Forty percent for you!
The garrison immediately thought about the mountain of silver taels in the library, his face suddenly calmed down, and he said righteously: "Forcibly rob the treasury of the state capital, those anti-thieves really deserve to die!" ”
Let's talk about it. The two looked at each other, full of recognition.
