1O8 Away from Hatred (11)

The fat woman cried for a moment, stood up, wiped her tears, and scolded: "Tartar, the old lady fought with you today!"

The Qing soldier couldn't take it off guard, this collision happened to hit the lower abdomen, the fat aunt used all her strength for this collision, plus she was fat, two by two, and under the anger, she actually knocked the Qing soldier out of the air a few feet, fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

Seeing this, the officer on the horse snorted and said, "You are looking for death!" He snatched the spear from the Qing soldier standing next to the horse, poked it with a shot, and pierced it through the back of the fat aunt's heart, and the fat aunt screamed wildly, covered in blood, and pounced on his husband, and soon died.

When the villagers saw that the Qing soldiers were so inhumane, they treated human life like a mustard, and killed two people in the blink of an eye. The officer took the reins of his horse, held the reins in his left hand and a bloody spear in his right, rode his horse back and forth on the road in two circles, and said in a loud voice: "You untouchables, killing you is like killing an ant." Whoever dares to disobey the imperial court officials will be killed!"

The officer showed off his might, rode to the young man, raised his spear and pointed it at him, and shouted, "You boy, now tell the whereabouts of the thief, and I can spare you from death." The young man was lying on the corpse of his parents and weeping bitterly, and when he heard this, he slowly stood up, and glanced at the officer with a vicious look, and suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and the laughter was terrible and sad, like a wolf's howl, which made people cry bitterly.

After laughing for a moment, he said to the officer: "You kill me, you kill me, you kill me, I am not afraid of you, I am not afraid of you." Everyone looked at him and felt sorry for him.

As he spoke, the boy approached the officer, who seemed to be frightened by his demeanor, and the horse under his crotch retreated step by step. The boy still muttered, "Kill me, kill me, Tartar, hehe, Tartar!" As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed the spear in the officer's hand with both hands, and stabbed the sharp tip of the spear into his heart. This time he used all his strength, but even the body of the gun was deeply embedded in his body, and the young man snorted and tilted his head.

His action was so sudden that when he lifted his gun and killed himself, everyone exclaimed "ah". The officer did not expect him to kill himself, and was stunned, and pulled the spear out of the young man's body with all his might, and blood splattered, and many of them splashed on his body and immediately.

The officer froze down, raised his gun and shouted, "This family is harboring thieves, all of them will not end well, if you know and report it, this is your example!" The other Qing soldiers also shouted in fright.

Luo Yuxuan witnessed this tragedy in the crowd, and they were all sad for the fat aunt's family. She didn't know where Zhang Ziyang was going at all, just because she lived next door to him, but she caused this unwarranted disaster and lost the lives of her whole family for no reason. On the one hand, she felt that her whole family had died too unjustly, and on the other hand, she hated the ferocity and ruthlessness of the Tartars.

He thought that the officers and soldiers had already forced three people to die, and he should stop there. Unexpectedly, the officer said loudly, "No one is allowed to leave." Then he ordered his officers and soldiers to point to a seven or eight-year-old girl in the crowd and said, "Arrest her." Several Qing soldiers received the order, and walked over like wolves, and pushed the little girl out of the crowd, and the little girl trembled with fright and cried loudly.

The officer said proudly: "That thief has lived in your village for more than ten years, and his whereabouts should be known. Whether it is worth it for you to lose so many people's lives for the sake of an irrelevant person, you weigh it yourself. ”

It turned out that the villagers gathered here were all people living near Zhang Ziyang's house, and there were about 50 or 60 people from more than 10 households, and they were searched by the Qing soldiers door to door, and finally they couldn't find his whereabouts, so they drove out all the 10 or so families, gathered together, and interrogated them one by one. The fat aunt's family is Zhang Ziyang's closest neighbor, and she bore the brunt of the torture, so the tragedy just now happened.

The little girl was lifted out by two Qing soldiers who carried one of her arms like a chicken, so frightened that her face turned pale, and she couldn't even cry, she only opened her mouth and screamed, only heard a little hoarse sound in her throat, and all the villagers were sad and wept, but no one dared to make a sound.

At this time, an old man in his sixties walked out of the crowd tremblingly, fell to his knees with a plop, folded his hands, and hissed: "Official, let my granddaughter go, we really don't know where that old Xiucai went, let alone what kind of thief he is." Let my granddaughter go, she is still a child, she can't stand such a big fright, and beg the official!"

The officer sneered: "You collude with the thieves, this is a great crime to exterminate the Nine Clans, it is also useful for you to smash your head, I will count three times, if no one says, I will stab her to the heart!"

After speaking, he opened his throat and counted: "One, two, 、..." Luo Yuxuan in the crowd saw everything, and he had already rushed up with enthusiasm, and when the officer was about to call out "three", he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Wait!" and then walked out of the crowd.

The officer saw that he was dressed as a scholar and looked like a scholar, he glanced at her and said, "Do you know the whereabouts of the thief?" Luo Yuxuan ignored him, stepped forward and bent down to help the old man up, and said: "Uncle, get up, kowtow to these beasts, kowtow to a thousand or ten thousand, it's useless!" He sent the old man aside, and said to the two Qing soldiers holding the little girl hostage: "Let go of her, don't you be ashamed to treat a child like this?"

His words were not high, but he had a majesty, and the two Qing soldiers glanced at the officer, who nodded and let go of the little girl. Luo Yuxuan returned the little girl who was unsteady on her feet to the old man and said, "Uncle, you take care of the child!"

The old man nodded with teary eyes, took the little girl over, held her in his arms, and entered the crowd.

The officer pointed his spear at Luo Yuxuan and said coldly, "Now you can say it." Luo Yuxuan said proudly: "The Great Qing Kingdom also speaks of the king's law, and it is not allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately. What you did today, once the imperial court knows about it, I'm afraid you will also be in trouble, right?" The officer was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Ridiculous, really ridiculous. He actually talked to me about the royal law. To catch a thief, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. This is the law of the king, and here, Lao Tzu is the law of the king. After saying that, he laughed again, and the rest of the Qing soldiers also laughed.

Luo Yuxuan said coldly: "You think that the lives of the Han people are as cheap as ants and worthless. But if you do this, it will only arouse greater hatred among the Han people and add more trouble to the rule of the imperial court.

The officers and the Qing soldiers were dumbfounded by him, Luo Yuxuan did have orders above these words, but these people are used to being overbearing, how can they pay attention to these words and dogmas, Luo Yuxuan mentioned it now, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid.

The officer's face changed slightly, and he said: "It's not your turn to teach Lao Tzu a lesson, you are the oldest, tell me where the thief is hiding, otherwise, I will cut off your head with a knife!" Luo Yuxuan took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and then said calmly: "I know where he is hiding, you let these villagers go, and I will lead you there." They are all innocent villagers, how can they know where the thieves are, it's useless for you to leave them!"

The officer muttered for a moment, and then ordered the Qing soldiers to release the villagers. Luo Yuxuan said loudly to everyone: "Please bury the fat aunt's family, they died a pitiful death!" All the villagers were grateful for his saving grace and sympathized with the fat aunt's family, so they cleaned up the bodies of the three people, and then took care of the aftermath.

A group of Qing soldiers escorted Luo Yuxuan and asked him to walk in front to lead the way to find the so-called "anti-thief".
