Chapter 44: Hot Hands

Jiangnan East Road, Ningguo Mansion, Ningguo County, Huangjiazhuang.

Meng Heng and Yu Jue, who led the team, rushed to Ningguo County, and everyone abandoned the boat and went ashore and went straight to Huangjiazhuang, where they saw a sea of people in Zhuangkou from a distance, all of whom were villagers armed with knives, guns, sticks, hoes and farm tools, and they blocked the entrance of the village, impassioned and violent.

Meng Heng waved his hand, and the cadet army stopped.

"Commander Meng, the news revealed by the Criminal Division that Huang Zhendong, the owner of Huangjiazhuang, is the uncle of Xu Hai, the magistrate of Ningguo County, and Huang Rucheng, the prefect of Ningguo, is his nephew. The Huang family has more than 60 acres of private land, more than 800 tenants, and 3 or 400 slaves. ”

Yu Jue looked at the surging crowd in the distance and made notes on the side.

"Yu Jue, according to what you say, it is not just a household, but a powerful person."

Meng Heng smiled coldly.

The upper household is between the privileged class of the aristocracy and the yeoman peasants, and refers to the rich but not expensive commoner landlords, and is also the richest "rich people" class in the countryside.

This is the son of an official who is full of Huang Zhendong, and they all have prominent status, and they are even stronger than Haoqiang, so it is no wonder that they dare to kill the officials of the Jingjie Institute.

"Commander Meng, we are dealing with powerful officials, do we really want to kill these people?"

Wei Jinyu beat a drum in his heart and asked quietly.

The wrath of the puffer, bleeding five steps. The wrath of the Son of Heaven ambushes millions of corpses. The emperor was angry, and they were the ones who killed.

"What kind of people, killing officials and destroying the office, this is a chaotic people, a mob! Can ordinary people do such a thing? This is the emperor's will, do you want to disobey it too? ”

Meng Hui glanced at Wei Jinyu coldly, and his face darkened.

He was appointed by the emperor as the commander of the arrest of the criminals, and Yu Yu was the deputy commander. The emperor Long Yan was furious and personally asked, he could not be soft-hearted, let alone disobey the will and military orders.

"Just ......"

Wei Jinyu is stubborn, and there is a trace of stubbornness.

"Wei Jinyu, do you want to disobey?"

Meng Hui's eyes immediately turned cold.

"Yes!"

Wei Jinyu replied stupidly and hurriedly retreated.

This black-faced Meng Heng, who is resolute and resolute, has a heart like iron stone, and can be said to be the most loyal student of Zhao Hong, the emperor's principal. If he is hard-mouthed, the consequences are unpredictable.

"Commander Meng, don't be impatient, or salute first and then soldier, and want to capture the old and indulge."

Yu Jue said softly, giving advice to his old superiors in history.

Meng Hui looked at Yu Jue and smiled.

This Yu Jue is thoughtful and has a little trick, but he is an interesting person.

"Wei Jinyu, I told them in the past that killing officials and destroying officials is a great crime! Let them hurry up and hand over the murderer, otherwise the law of the country is ruthless and they will bear the consequences! ”

Meng Heng looked at the students around him, and his gaze stayed on Wei Jinyu.

Wei Jinyu was still hesitating, and Yu Yu shouted angrily.

"Wei Jinyu, don't hurry up to convey the military order!"

This Wei Jinyu, the donkey's temper has been committed again. He thought that where was this, this was the Jinling Martial Arts Hall, and the military order was greater than everything.

"Commander Meng, Deputy Commander Yu, I ......"

Wei Jinyu made a bitter face and hesitated.

"Wei Jinyu, do you want to disobey the military order? It's the second time you've got it today! ”

Yu Jue raised his voice, urging Wei Jinyu.

The military order is like a mountain, Wei Yanei, he really thinks he is out to play?

"Yes!"

Wei Jinyu didn't dare to slack off, quickly stood up straight, saluted a military salute, and ran over quickly.

"Humph!"

Meng Heng looked at Wei Jinyu's back and snorted coldly.

If it weren't for Wei Li's face as Vice Principal Weng Wei, just disobeying the military order, he would have ordered Wei Jinyu to be taken down.

Standing at a distance of twenty or thirty steps in front of the villagers, Wei Jinyu raised his head and shouted loudly.

"You all listen well, the will of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, killing officials is a heinous crime! Hurry up and hand over the murderer, otherwise the law of the land will ......"

Before Wei Jinyu finished speaking, bricks, stones, and clods of soil flew over like raindrops, and Wei Jinyu was disgraced, only holding his head and running back.

If he hadn't been wearing armor and helmets, I'm afraid his head would have broken and bleeding.

Seeing Wei Jinyu fleeing in embarrassment, the villagers laughed and shouted one after another.

"Go back, Dog Officer!"

"If you want to take our land, dream of it!"

"Get out of here!"

There is a way to do the law, and the public is not to be held accountable. Once a popular uprising is provoked, these officials and soldiers, no matter how they explain to their superiors, they cannot afford to bear this responsibility.

The villagers were triumphant, and Meng Heng's brows were tightly locked.

The law of the land is ruthless!

The emperor's advice rang in his ears.

"These people, the emperor's personal decree, do they really think that the law does not blame the public?"

Yu Jue whispered softly, as if reminding Meng Heng.

"The law does not hold the public accountable? Even if it is a prince and minister, a relative of the emperor and a country, if he violates the law, it is the law of the country that is ruthless! ”

Meng Heng snorted coldly, raised his right hand, and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, get ready to ......"

"Don't! Don't! ”

An official sedan chair fell on the official road at the entrance of the village, and a green-robed official ran over, followed by the official behind him, and the official shouted loudly as he ran, interrupting Meng Heng's words.

"No...... Get! Envoy...... Cannot! ”

The official was out of breath and ran in front of Meng Heng, sweating profusely.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, who are you? What not? ”

Meng Heng looked at the green-robed official coldly. This official came at a good time.

"General, in Xu Hai, the county magistrate of Xianing, dare to ask the general what he is going to do? Do you not use swords and spears against the people? ”

Zhixian Xu Hai's face was serious, and he said seriously.

"These are the people, it's a mob!"

Wei Jinyu's eyes bulged high, and he said angrily.

Although he wore a helmet and armor and protected his head, he still suffered a few blows on his face.

"Since you are the parent official of Ningguo County, then please come over and let Huangjiazhuang hand over the murderer of the official. Otherwise, we will be held accountable! ”

Meng Hui's face was calm, but Xu Hai shook his head again and again.

"General, this matter, the merits of it, it is difficult to draw conclusions for a while. Or ......"

"Without further ado, can you bring the murderer to justice?"

Meng Hui was unceremonious and interrupted Xu Hai's words sharply.

If it weren't for this nephew's parents, would Huang Zhendong, the owner of Huang Village, dare to be so bold?

"General, aren't you a strong man? If it causes a popular uprising, can the general afford the consequences? ”

Xu Hai's face changed, and he turned his head away.

"If you can't do it, get out! Don't get in the way! ”

Yu Jue said coldly, and then said to Meng Hui:

"Commander Meng, I will take people to guard several other intersections in case a traitor escapes."

"Good! Those who dare to resist will be engaged in military law! ”

Meng Hui nodded, and Yu Jue took some students away.

"General, these are all my people of the Great Song Dynasty, you want to lead the people to kill, aren't you afraid of causing a civil uprising?"

Xu Hai looked at the cadet army who was about to move, his face turned pale, and he asked in a trembling voice.

"Xu Hai, what you did today, I will report to the emperor. You're still worried about your black gauze hat and see how many days you can wear it. ”

Meng Hui snorted coldly, and then shouted loudly.

"The whole army comes forward, crossbowmen and archers are ready!"

Meng Heng gave an order, and all the cadet soldiers stepped forward together, raising their bows and crossbows together, aiming at the villagers in front.

Sure enough, it was Diao Min, and the officers and soldiers with guns and knives dared to confront them, not to mention the unarmed officials of the Jingjie Institute.

"They...... Want...... What are you going to do? ”

The trainees were trained for a long time and were murderous, and the villagers were in a commotion, and many people were subconsciously afraid.

"I repeat, hand over the murderer at once and let the team enter the village. Otherwise, you do it at your own risk! ”

Meng Hui shouted loudly again.

Xu Hai, the magistrate of Ningguo County, who was pale-faced, followed and stopped Meng Heng from coming.

"General, if you dare to hurt the villagers, I will go to the emperor to see you!"

Xu Hai's seemingly threatening words made Meng Hui sneer.

This dog official is still supporting these villagers at this time. I really don't know whether to live or die.

"Xu Hai, you have violated the law by obstructing the case. If you are clever enough to say anything, don't blame me for the speed of the knife in my hand! ”

Meng Hui's tone was cold, Xu Hai's face turned pale, and he trembled and stepped aside.

The cadet army of Jinling Lecture and Martial Arts Hall was dispatched, could it be said that the imperial court was determined to come hard?

"Since ancient times, the law has not blamed the people, and they dare not do anything to us! Folks, fight with them! ”

Sure enough, the housekeeper of the Huang family observed his words and looked at the words, and loudly bewitched the villagers.

Seeing that the students did not come forward, thinking that they were timid, the villagers became bolder, and they stepped forward one after another, and the bricks, stones, and clods of earth smashed over again.

"Get out! You dogs! ”

"Stoned you shit!"

Bricks, earth and stones smashed on his body one after another, and even Xu Hai was not spared. Meng Heng roared loudly.

"Everyone! Shoot! ”

When the military order was handed down, the crossbowmen in the team shot together, the arrows flew all over the sky, and the villagers screamed again and again, and immediately fell down, and many ghosts cried wolves, turned around and fled.

"Enter the village!"

Meng Heng waved his hand, and the students lined up and strode forward, passing by the villagers who fell to the ground and screamed, without looking, and their footsteps did not stop.

The Huang family's housekeeper was hit by several arrows in his throat and chest, blood stained all over his neck and chest, and his eyes were open, lying in a pool of blood with convulsions.

"Oh my God!"

Xu Hai's heart was shocked, his legs were weak, he staggered, and sat on the ground.

This time, Huangjiazhuang is over, and his career is over.

Zhuangzi was surrounded by the cadet regiment with guns and knives, and those who fled were arrested one after another, and the cadet army was fierce and vicious, and the villagers of the whole village were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, all of them were pale, and no one dared to move.

Several bloody corpses were dragged back from outside the village, and they were Huang Da and Huang Si, the idlers in the village. The culprits who killed the officials knew that they could not escape the blame, and they resisted stubbornly and were killed by the cadet army one by one.

"Hurry up!"

Huang Zhendong, the owner of Huangjiazhuang, who is invincible on weekdays, was escorted out of his house by the cadet army, wearing shackles, hanging his head and blood. He was one of the main culprits in the instigation of the incident. In addition to being arrested, the door of the house was also sealed.

Behind Huang Zhendong, hundreds of villagers with disheveled heads, also shackled and listless, were driven out of the village.

"Kill Lao Tzu, and after eighteen years, he will still be a good man!"

A prisoner with angry eyes is still stiff-mouthed, trying to show his heroism.

"Dog, I want to play tricks when I die!"

The student stabbed his back several times, and the prisoner's face was covered with blood, and he immediately did not dare to speak, and he was much more honest.

"Please, let my man go!"

"Huang Zhendong, you it, my son has been ruined by you!"

"Master Jun, spare your life!"

The women knelt on the ground, crying and crying, crying and calling for their mothers, but no one dared to rob anyone and stand in the way. annoys the other party, and the consequences are unimaginable.

More than 1,000 households in the whole village, hundreds of people were arrested, and I don't know how many will be killed at that time, and the rest will be imprisoned?

"Listen up! Those who kill pay for their lives, and those who injure others are exiled to the army. The government will also send people to clear the acres of land, if anyone dares to stop it, these people today are role models! ”

Meng Heng shouted loudly, the villagers were frightened, and no one dared to speak.

With a wave of his hand, the students escorted the "suspects" and "criminals" and left the village, ignoring the cries and pity of the villagers.

The rules in the army, the cadet soldiers only know obedience and discipline, and no one dares to sympathize with and pity each other.

Passing by outside the village, the sedan chair of Xu Hai in Ningguo Zhi County had already disappeared. It seems that this nephew was scared away.

Not only Huangjiazhuang, but also the entire Jiangnan East Road, inside and outside the city, in all states and counties, there are rumors everywhere to arrest the criminals involved in the case.

Nearly 10,000 people have been arrested, and there are more than 1,000 officials in the traitor department, and countless officials are even more numerous.
