Chapter 164: Bloodshed
Just when Zhang Chong was reorganizing his army, a military report from Guan Yu in Yingxian County was sent to the Fenggao Bureau, but it was indeed not written military, but a criminal case of killing people. This matter is obviously very important, otherwise Guan Yu would not have sent it in an expedited manner.
It happened that Guan Yu had remained in the administration of Yingxian since the middle of last year, on the one hand, to maintain order, and on the other hand, to divide the land and establish collective farms on both sides of the Yingwen River. Guan Yu's handling of this matter is also the same as Zhang Chong's style of acting all along, which is to pilot it first and then roll it out.
But this time, something happened as soon as it was rolled out, and the cause of the incident was the death of Guo Si in Huo's wall.
Guo's wall is a small dock wall in the west of Yingwen Shui, only ten miles away from Yingxian County, there are fifty households, and the mouth is four hundred and thirty-six. This dock is a dock wall composed of four surnames of Guo, Wang, Zhang and Meng, of which Guo and Wang are all residents of this wall, and Zhang and Meng are the families of emigration. Although Guo and Wang are local Tu people, the biggest hero of this wall is the Meng family, their family operates medicinal materials in Ying County, and has a little relationship with Taishan Shanliao, so they rely on selling some medicine in the mountains to start their home.
This time, Guan Yu's field division was carried out to Guo's wall, and the county specially sent a field division group here, and was organizing the field division, but because of the death of a person named Guo Si on this wall, it fell into a stalemate.
This is a report prepared by Guan Yu after the preliminary investigation, which said that this incident was the collusion between the local tyrants of the Guo family and the head of the Fentian Group, and killed the head of the Qian, Guo Si. It was the local tyrants of the Meng clan who colluded with the beauties to tempt Zhang Qing, the leader of the Fentian Group, and stoned Guo Si, who was determined to report the Meng clan.
At that time, as soon as the blood eucalyptus occurred, Guan Yu said that Wen Yu, the magistrate of the winning county, went to Guo's wall to investigate.
Wen Yu was from the Feng Gao Wen family, one of the four families that went with Hu's mother family at that time. Later, Cai Yong, who became a high guard, raised Wen Yu of the Wen clan to win the county and assist the left Guan Yu herdsmen.
Wen Yu went to the place to understand the situation of all parties, and believed that Zhang Qing, the head of the field division group, had caught the evil in the Qianshou and had nothing wrong with the handling, so he only dropped Zhang Qing back to the county office and left the field group.
Wen Yu's work is easy to be tongued about, because this Zhang Qing is a member of the Zhang family in Dasangli, although he is not the old brother of Qukui Zhang Chong, but he is also a relative, so Wen Yu is very suspected of harboring Zhang Qing.
Then Guan Yu sent the military officials to investigate, and the results of the investigation were completely contrary to the conclusion reached by Wen Yu, so he arrested the powerful Meng Qi of Guo's wall and his vassal Zhang brothers at that time, but Zhang Qing, the head of the field group, did not take it at that time, but sent it to the county to see how the chief official dealt with it.
At that time, Wen Yu had privately approached Guan Yu, to the effect that now that the person is dead, the matter has passed, and Guo Si, an idle evil boy, died when he died, so why make a mistake for a good official.
This good official is naturally Zhang Qing.
Guan Yu didn't speak at that time, but continued to let people check it, and then more and more details of this eucalyptus were sent to Guan Yu.
Guo Si is the head of Guo's wall, with three people, a six-hole crypt, and 25 acres of land, which he cultivates by himself.
In the winter of the fourth year of Guanghe, Guo Si couldn't pay the grain tax in Yingxian County, so he was hung up and beaten, forcing him to sell ten acres of good land along the river to the Haoqiang Meng family. In the fifth year of Guanghe, the Taishan army went west out of Mount Tai and won the county garrison, and Meng Qi sent Guo Si into the expedition to be a people's husband. After Yingxian and the Taishan Army carried the flag several times, this Guo Si defected to the Taishan Army and became a horse soldier under the banner of the Fei Army. After that, the Taishan Army Guan Yu Zuo Lieutenant Department captured Ying County, Guo Si returned to his hometown with the army, and avenged the grievances with the main soldier at that time, Shi Xiong, saying that Meng Qi occupied his land.
Tian Xiong is Tian Jun's second brother, and when Tian Jun joined the army in Xue's wall before, he brought his two younger brothers with him. Tian Xiaoyong had not yet grown up to join the baggage team, and Tian Xiong was thin, but he was a little tall, so he joined the assault horse with his brother Tian Jun, but Tian Xiong was only a horseman at that time.
After four years in the army, Tian Xiong also grew into a strong man, and he was promoted step by step from a horseman to a general of the cavalry, but his jealous and hateful temperament was the same as his brother, and he has not forgotten how his father died. It's the gang of evildoers. These people deserve to die.
Therefore, as soon as he heard the grievances of his subordinates, Tian Jun urged Ma to arrest Meng Qi, the local tyrant of Guo's wall, to the army, torture him and return the land he had occupied to each family. How could Meng Qi bear this, not only did he hand over what he had occupied, but also his own land.
After that, Guo Si left the Taishan Army and returned to his hometown to farm. After that, the field group came to Guo's wall, and Guo Si took the lead in responding to liquidate Meng Qi's various lawlessness. Meng Qi, as a strong man in this wall, naturally still has prestige and power, at that time, the field was divided into Guo's wall, and only the Meng family had a big house, so they all lived in the Meng family.
At that time, Zhang Qing, the head of the field group, hooked up with Meng Qi's younger brother-in-law Meng Shi, among which Meng Qi's companion Zhang Zhong also used his surname Zhang Lai to be polite to Zhang Qing. At the instigation of this distant relative and the beauty around him, a conference that was supposed to be a public trial of Meng Qi became a public trial of Guo Si, and Guo Si was designated as a bad conference in the dock wall.
At that time, someone in the group persuaded Zhang Qing, saying that this Guo Si had joined the army, and it was not good to kill him like this. That Zhang Qing said awe-inspiringly:
"This is a good thing for the people, even if it makes trouble with my uncle, he will support me in doing so."
The clan uncle in his mouth is naturally Zhang Chong, the Taishan Qukui.
Later, with the participation of many Guo people, Zhang Qing took the lead, and the rest of the people added sticks, and Guo Si was beaten to death with sticks and rocks on the Yingmu River beach.
After killing people, Zhang Qing said to the people of Guo's wall with great momentum:
"Fierce and stubborn, dare to cry out for injustice, and the same crime."
Seeing this, Zhang Chong was already furious, he was angry that the clansmen dared to use their power for personal gain in such a name and manage people's lives. The second anger won the county order and the officials protected each other and shielded Zhang Qing. However, although he was angry, he knew that Guan Yu was a person, and since the investigation had been so clear, there must be a follow-up.
Sure enough, he continued to look down and saw the follow-up to the incident.
After Guan Yu understood the beginning and end of this series, he immediately called Wen Yu, the magistrate of the county, to reprimand him for covering up illegal things, and ordered him to personally go to Guo Si's funeral day to wear linen and filial piety to Guo Si, and apologize to Guo Si on behalf of the county office.
The camp of the martyrs is the teaching camp of the children of the sacrificed officials of the Taishan Army, unified learning and unified life.
As for Zhang Qing, who committed adultery with others and brutalized good people, although he was a member of Qukui's clan, and he was also a capable member of the Dasangli tribe, he still sent him to prison and waited for his fate.
On the one hand, he emphasized several times that Zhang Qing, the leader of the field group, did not violate the law, but a specific issue of private morality. In dealing with Guo Siyi, he was deliberately deceived by Haoqiang, and the process of handling it was completely in line with the normal regulations of the field division group.
In the past, when the fields were divided, they often had to be killed and hanged to death, so the field division group had specific law enforcement powers.
Later, when Wenyu came to wear linen and filial piety on the day of Guo Si's burial, he asked everyone in the passing masses about the handling of Zhang Qing, the head of the field group.
Then Yingxian ordered Wenyu to issue a judgment on Zhang Qing's issue with Yingxian printing, once again affirming that this was a personal morality issue and guaranteeing it. According to Guan Yu, this person said in court:
"Special General Zhang Qing was relieved of his post to set an example. In this way, if something goes wrong, he will be responsible. ”
After that, Wen Yu ordered the head of the prison temple of Yingxian Temple not to treat Zhang Qing as a prisoner, and visited the prison temple several times.
Guan Yu later learned that the so-called civil trial conference was actually a play. At that time, the participants were the original batch of accomplices who agreed to position Guo Si as a fierce one, including not only Zhang Zhong's five brothers, but also the husband of the adulterous woman with Zhang Qing, that is, the younger brother of the local tyrant Meng Qi, who also participated, and agreed that Zhang Qing was a good person.
Guan Yu naturally understood that the reason why Wen Yu died to protect Zhang Qing was because this person was a member of Qu Kui's clan, and the reason why he dared to do this must be because someone guaranteed him and promised something, which was nothing more than those people from the Zhang clan in Da Sangli.
But Guan Yu knew that this was definitely not what Qu Kui meant, so he couldn't let these people use Zhang Chong's name to cover up the guilt everywhere, especially this kind of cruelty to the people.
Therefore, Guan Yu immediately repaired a letter and reported all the matter to Zhang Chong of Fenggao, so he sent his soldiers to the temple prison to personally take Zhang Qing, and sent him to Guo's wall, and hanged Zhang Qing in front of the whole household. Also hanged were the Guo tyrant Meng Qi and his companions the five Zhang brothers.
In this way, Guo Si had one life and seven lives, and one of them was a member of the Zhang clan in Dasangli. In addition, Guan Yu also pleaded guilty in the letter. Because he also sent troops to surround the Win County Office and arrested the county commander Wen Yu. According to the system, although he Guan Yu is a landlord, he is more responsible for the military, unless there is really a betrayal of Wen Yu, he cannot send troops to take a civil official who guards Taishan County.
Seeing this, Zhang Chong stretched out the qi that had been blocked in his chest, and sure enough, Guan Yu was still the same Guan Yu, if this gentleman also became a person who was afraid of power, he would really feel sad.
As for who came out for Zhang Chong and went to deliver a message to the winning county order, Zhang Chong would naturally dig it out for him. If this kind of cancer is not removed, it will kill later.
But just when Zhang Chong felt that the matter was clear, and he could even close the coffin, Cai Yong, the Taishan County Taishou, asked to see him outside.
Just when Zhang Chong thought that the two students of Cai Laoweng had rushed to Fenggao to introduce them, Cai Yong, who came in, had a solemn face and handed Zhang Chong a letter.
The letter he brought turned out to be written by Wenyu, the commander of Yingxian County, who had been detained by Guan Yu, and it was also written about the death of Guo Si in Guo's wall. And his statement surprised Zhang Chong.
