This night is destined to be a night in which many people will not be able to sleep.

Ma Mao is fast. Almost every day, I just slept for an hour or two, and for a while I brought a little forage from the package I carried with me and fed it to the horses, so that they could rest so that the horses would not starve to death, and the rest of the time was spent on the road.

The matter of the Stove King is too important, for the people of the world and for the Ming Dynasty, it is a first-class and important thing.

Ma Maocai loves the people like a son and is loyal, and wants to do practical things, but unfortunately, he Emperor Chongzhen does not have the ability to be virtuous, and Emperor Chongzhen is suspicious of all the ministers who have some outstanding performance.

During the Chongzhen period, the most correct way to be an official was to be honest and honest, and in addition to his own work, he did not do anything.

The detained Li Zhixian and the county Cheng, as well as several large families, were all uneasy, they heard the so-called stove king's treatment of them, and knew what they would face tomorrow.

"Please, let me go... I can give you anything, the king of the stove spares my life! ”

The landlord of the Wang family begged for mercy with a handful of snot and tears at the militia guarding them, he didn't want to die, he really didn't want to die.

The surrounding landlords are doing the same, frantically begging for mercy and hoping for a glimmer of life.

"Hehe, don't bother, why don't you want to give them some way to live when you bully the people."

The militiamen on guard sneered, not in the slightest favor for the landlords, who were once tenants of the landlords.

Originally, he was still a yeoman farmer, but because he couldn't pay taxes, he could only mortgage the land to the landlord, and became a tenant, and the landlord gave him usury, and he had more and more debts, more and more, and he was desperate.

I almost want to die.

Fortunately, he didn't die, otherwise he wouldn't have seen these landlords wagging their tails and begging for mercy.

The landlords were about to cry for mercy, but another militiaman stuffed their mouths with cloth.

In the early morning of the second day, in Chengdong City, people gathered here early in the morning, talking excitedly, and talking about things related to "landlords" and "stove kings".

"Do you think the Stove King can really conjure up so much grain?"

"Surely, so many people say, can there be a fake?"

"Yes, look at those soldiers, all of them are ruddy and energetic, I have seen them on the faces of those big men."

"Hey, hey, I think, those old men don't have so rosy faces now."

Some people laughed, others also laughed, and the king of the stove wanted to execute those landlords, which was the main thing.

Knowing people and knowing the face does not know the heart, some landlords are very bad and are still bad, changing the way to give them high rent, high interest, harvesting their money, squeezing their physical strength, and taking back the tenant land if they can't pay the rent, every winter solstice they have to give gifts to the landlord, hey, you still have to give gifts to the people who oppress you, in the days when you don't live like people, pray to be able to continue to live!

Some landlords are even worse, secretly bad, the Gao family landlords, the domestic slaves under them, turned out to be former self-cultivated farmers, but they were deceived by the Gao family landlords to take away the land, and they became tenants during the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, and they became domestic slaves when they were free, and they still couldn't pay off the debts they owed!

This man is even more hateful, not only oppressing poor people like them, but also deceiving their feelings! They still think that the landlord of the Gao family is a good person!

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Two teams of heavenly soldiers with red tassel guns ran neatly on both sides of the street, and the uniform pace and neat equipment made the surrounding people amazed.

"This is the Heavenly Soldier, right?"

"That's it, it's much more majestic than the officials."

"That's it, those officials are birds, relying on themselves to be petty officials, and they go to the capital with their nostrils facing the sky on weekdays."

'Stand up! ’

Bang bang.

The two teams of 100 heavenly soldiers stomped their feet in unison and stood firmly, shocking people's hearts.

There is a biological knowledge point in junior high school, innate behavior and learning behavior, one is the innate instinct of biology, and the other is nurture, and the mouse can still be tempted by food, cultivating acquired behavior, not to mention the person who is the spirit of all things.

The people are just ignorant in some aspects, it's not that they can't learn, the heavenly soldiers eat white porridge and mustard every day, train hard, get up every morning to night, are training discipline, don't feel that they are hard, the people make a living which is not bitter, when facing the loess with their backs to the sky, they also get up in the morning and the rooster crows, and the sunset hoes, Rao is so still possible to live without food, now it just needs training, much simpler than planting crops, what else can complain about the hard work.

If there is any irregularity with military discipline, they will be permanently deprived of military status, and in this case, the results of the training of these soldiers are very gratifying.

It can be seen from the two neat and almost equal teams that are even controlled from each other.

Immediately afterwards, there were heavenly soldiers, detaining Li Mingzhu, the county magistrate, Wang Ze, the county, as well as the three big families in the fish and meat towns in the city, and even the landlord of the Gao family, who insulted the king of the stove yesterday.

"Dog landlord!"

Some people picked up a soil from the ground and prepared to throw it at the landlords, but they didn't know whether to throw it out after they lifted it, and the soldiers were still there, and the distance between them and the landlords was too close, and one accidentally would fall on these soldiers.

The people around me also have such concerns.

The only way to do this is to throw dirt on the ground and replace the bricks with insults.

"Dog officer!"

"Dog landlord."

The crowd was indignant, and they all chanted.

The heavenly soldiers in charge of the detention took the landlords to the open space in front of the people, and they put their feet on the knees of these landlords and magistrates, and made them kneel on the ground.

These landlords and others have their heads lowered and their faces are like ashes, where would they have thought that they would have today.

"Whoa."

The eyes of the people were still focused on these landlords, but Yu Guang noticed that those heavenly soldiers knelt neatly on one knee, with spears in their hands.

"Welcome to the Stove King!"

They chanted.

Then, a handsome man in a blue shirt walked out.

The people looked at this person, and their hearts were different from the god of the stove, shouldn't the god of the stove be a middle-aged man with two long beards and a kind face and wearing bright red clothes.

Someone muttered doubts in their hearts.

"Silly, this is the reincarnation of the Stove King, and it is not the true god of the Stove King, it must be younger, when you are young, handsome people are often old and will definitely be kind when they are older, you have a crooked nose and no eyes, and you will definitely not be kind when you grow up."

"Fuck you."

Liu Zhenhua walked slowly, followed by the tall Ren Hongli, but the latter was curled up, his upper body bent, as low as possible than the king of the stove, this is what his father and his brother said to him.

After coming to these kneeling people, Liu Zhenhua slowly opened his mouth to the people and pronounced the crime of these people.
