Section 071 Conspiracy, conspiracy!
Bai Minghe wanted to destroy the prefect's plan, that is, to fight against the prefect, which made this decision nervous.
But it also has to be supported.
Du Shuangyu and others knew very well that if Bai Minghe, the county magistrate, could not even win the hearts of Hepu County, the county magistrate would come to an end, and a county magistrate without people would be nothing.
The night before Prefect Qian decided to take action, the people who had been involved in the chaos finally returned.
"grown ups."
"Thank you for your hard work, go and use some hot rice first. Don't worry about this time, take a break, and then report in detail." It must be said that Bai Minghe was still good to these soldiers. They followed Bai Minghe to Hepu, believing that they could have a good background for the future.
After using the meal, I drank a bowl of wine to warm my body, and these spies sat in front of the Baiminghe.
"Sir, the former county magistrate of Hepu County is dead. He committed suicide. The young man didn't understand why the report from Qian Zhifu ran away. Unfortunately, there was no evidence. Now the body was probably pulled into the sea by a ship, so it must not be found." The first person spoke, and Bai Minghe believed that this was definitely a very useful information.
"It's okay, keep talking about other information!"
"Sir, the incident originally happened in November last year. The prefect of Qian of Lianzhou ordered that he would ask for fifty kilograms of pearls. In winter, the Zhumin people were unwilling to go into the water. But the Zhumin people were unwilling to go into the sea in winter. Later, the Zhuguan led people to arrest about 200 people in Hepu County, and asked Zhumin people to use Zhumin to replace the people."
The white-known crane frowned. This is tyranny!
The spy continued: "The people of Zhuren are a lowly family, and they have been a lowly family for generations. They are not allowed to leave the village where they live. The young and old at home were caught, but they had no choice but to go to the sea to pick pearls. They picked more than 600 pearls, frozen to death, and were bitten to death by fierce fish. Forty people were injured, sixteen of whom vomited blood!"
Bai Minghe probably understood that relying on his own ability to dive, the water pressure will cause harm to people.
"The bead officer believes that the beads are too small, and most of them are the size of rice grains, so he asked to pick them again. There are bead clams in the shallow part of the bead pond but no beads. If you want to get a big bead deep in the depths, you must dive for 700 feet. In winter, you can hardly dive so deep. Fifty people went into the sea, only two of them came back alive, and got twenty taels of pearls, two of them."
When Bai Minghe heard that forty-eight people died, he was a little moved.
"The Zhuguan was also dissatisfied and put shackles on the arrested people. In three days, twenty-three people died. Many young and strong Zhumin Villages in Hepu County killed Zhuguan and rescued some of the arrested people. The former Hepu County Magistrate took people there, and more than ten yamen runners were beaten to death on the spot, and the county magistrate also died on the spot."
Bai Minghe nodded, which was actually at the standard of riots.
Killing officials means riots, and they have reached the point of sending troops to suppress them.
"According to the villagers, the county magistrate committed suicide after this. Then everyone in the county government fled and was afraid of being killed!"
Having said that, Bai Minghe basically figured it out.
If the county magistrate escapes, all the crimes can be brought to the Hepu County Magistrate's back. The county magistrate commits suicide, so there is always a saying that why he committed suicide is forced to death. The prefect Qian dared not say that the county magistrate was beaten to death by a mob, so the governor's yamen will ask about it, which is the crime of riots.
"Sir, two scholars from this county and two scholars from Qinzhou have joined forces with several scholars and went to the prefect's office together. In fact, they wanted to petition to calm the matter. As a result, they were arrested. The younger one found out that the families of these four scholars were missing."
Bai Minghe nodded vigorously.
"I probably guessed what tricks the prefect of Qian was going to play. He was really a ruthless person. No matter what, our people also had to find a way to enter the city."
"What are you doing when you go into the city?" asked the spy.
"If the execution is really going to be executed tomorrow, I will try my best to let the Lianzhou Prefecture School Government go up to the city wall." Bai Minghe said his thoughts.
Several spies looked at each other, and the leader asked, "Sir, Lianzhou Prefecture School Government is only a sixth-rank official, and he can't do anything even if he goes to the city wall."
"No, he doesn't need to do his business, he just needs to recognize people." Bai Minghe emphasized.
"Then we don't have to wait to enter the city, Fei Ge sent a letter. The Jinyiwei Office of Lianzhou Prefecture will definitely appear to help us. What does Lord Bai have to tell them to do together? Then the hundred households said that as long as the adult eats meat and gives him a sip of soup. There is absolutely no frowning in the water and fire. If you want to kill people, as long as you can withstand the name you give."
This time it was Du Shuangyu who expressed it. It seems that the Jinyiwei households from the capital are better than those here.
Du Shuangyu also smiled and gave an explanation: "The production of matches is limited, and transportation is also a problem. Not to mention Guangdong, even if you want to have goods in Nanjing, you have to wait for another two or three months. But we have it on our hands!"
"It doesn't matter, only money can solve the problem, it's not a problem."
Bai Minghe stood up: "Is it convenient to speak here!"
Du Shuangyu made a gesture, and the two spies went out for a walk and came back: "Safe, our brothers are installed around!"
"I guess that Prefect Qian would definitely not dare to kill people with fame. But he wanted to hide this matter from the sky and the emperor was far away. He would definitely not be as good as the capital. So he dared to use some tricks. So, my analysis of his trick is to kill a few rioters."
Du Panyu didn't understand: "Mr. Bai, killing a few rioters is still necessary to play conspiracies!"
Bai Minghe pointed at Du Shuangyu and laughed dryly, which meant that you were not smart enough.
Du Shuangyu reacted by Bai Minghe's finger: "Sir, you mean. He killed the four juren in the name of killing the rioters, and then found someone to pretend. The person who pretended might be a scholar, and the person who was involved in the pretending would definitely not dare to tell the matter out. This is a serious crime of killing the whole family."
"So, can it be understood that these scholars have the right to be in the hands of Prefect Qian?" Bai Minghe asked back.
"The bigger possibility is that their scholars' fame is wrong. Moreover, some of their families must have dealings with the prefect of Qian, and these businesses are likely to be beheaded." Du Shuangyu was guided by Bai Minghe and fully understood.
If the prefect Qian dares to fight for such a big life, it must have involved a huge chain of interests.
In Lianzhou Prefecture, there are only two of this chain of interest. One is pearl and the other is private salt.
Prefect Qian had reason to fight and had enough money to do this.
"There is only one hundred households in the Jinyiwei of Lianzhou Prefecture. Even if they know a little, they dare not go against each other. After all, it is 4,000 miles away from the capital, and no one supports them. Commander Mao had to give in because he wanted money to raise soldiers, but it was the same reason. It was too far from the capital."
"If you can't turn your back, we will lose. This will become a mortal enemy."
The white-known crane reminded him.
"I understand, but I don't know how powerful the other side is, and I don't know how many people it has involved. It is very unfavorable for us to turn against each other. Now we will save these juren first and then protect more people. At least we can gain a foothold in Hepu first." Du Shuangyu had fully understood Bai Minghe's idea.
But that's it, Bai Minghe reminded him again:
"Remember one sentence, even if the inside is broken, the face will be new."
Du Panyu also said, "Even if I want to kill him, I have to smile on my face when I drink!"
Hahaha! Bai Minghe and Du Shuangyu laughed together, and Du Shuangyu stood up and clasped his fists: "Master Bai, I, Du Shuangyu, are you going to say something today, and I will do things with Master Bai."
Bai Mingheshuang explained some details, and Du Shuangyu took the people to take action separately.
The next day, Bai Minghe got up very early and changed into his official uniform. He asked the Jinyiwei to pick ten people, led by Wu Bin. He changed the uniforms of the yamen runners and followed Bai Minghe to Lianzhou City.
Yang Xin brought two hundred soldiers from the Five City Military and Ma Si to a valley about thirty miles away from Lianzhou Prefecture, waiting for the order.
These people are not afraid of poverty or food. After all, Bai Minghe came here with 500 craftsmen, and there are still 100 of them who are craftsmen who specialize in making matches. Even if there is no such thing, there is still a young prince who can give him 50,000 stones of food a year, so he can't starve these people to death.
But people are always unwilling to just live a life of death.
Now that Baiminghe takes action, the depressed emotions of these people naturally disappear. What's so scary about chopping people? Their organization is still from the Five City Military and Ma Si. They don't know what to do when they come to Hepu. Anyway, their households listen to Baiminghe, and they just listen to it.
Bai Minghe walked very slowly and did not arrive at the city of Lianzhou Prefecture at about 11 o'clock in the morning.
Generally, it takes until three o'clock in the afternoon.
When Bai Minghe arrived at the city, the gate of Lianzhou Prefecture was still tightly closed, with two hundred people tied to the battlements on the top of the city.
The walls of Lianzhou Prefecture are far inferior to those of the capital, and they are not worth mentioning even if they are compared with Xi'an Prefecture.
It is only two feet high, and the width above is less than ten feet. The height of the arrow stack is only one foot, and the tied person stands up, and even if he kneels down, he can see clearly.
Everyone had their hair disheveled, with a wooden sign behind them with the prisoner's name written on it.
"The new county magistrate of Hepu County has not seen the prefect. Please open the door!" Wu Bin walked to the city and shouted.
Chapter completed!
