Chapter 304 Tragedy

Yang He went to the prefectural yamen. He talked with the prefect Su Chengxing about what he had and everyone knew, but the matter was spreading quickly that day, and the controversy was very common.

Soon, the surrounding Suining, Suqian, Shuyang and other places knew that the Pizhou scholar was beaten or beaten by a woman, and even quickly spread to Huai'an.

The reputation of the Xin'an Village Brave Women's Team is now famous everywhere. They suppress women and children, suppress scholars, are cruel and ruthless, making shrews and unlucky, and are frightened by the shrews and unruly people. Like Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan of the Xin'an Army, they have become hotly discussed figures in the streets and alleys of various prefectures and counties.

Huang Sien, the Pisu River Affairs Co-Master, was inspecting the river embankments. When he heard about this, he shook his head and joined his aide Jia Shuweng and others to join his river affairs.

Gao Qifeng, the magistrate of Suining, heard that he was not surprised and smiled at Master Tian beside him, saying, "With Yang He's personality and temper, it's not strange that he won't cause this. Fortunately, he is no longer in Suining."

Recently, he was full of energy and had wealth and power, so he renovated the roads in the city, laying them with bluestone slabs, and even the four-sided wards were no exception, and the inside and outside of the city was completely renewed.

The people have work to do, and they are convenient for travel. In addition, the green-skinned land sticks are dead and the police station protects public security. Suining County has unprecedented Qingming Festival, and the gentry and people all praised it as tide. It is just a matter of time to be selected as a local county annals.

Looking at the money and grain in his hand, Gao Qifeng also repaired the road to Pizhou, Suqian road, and Lingbi road, attracting a large number of foreign wealthy people. Suining County became prosperous at the sight.

So Gao Qifeng is in a happy mood recently and just thought that Yang He won’t come back. If you have any headaches, let the Zhoucheng side worry!

Qi Shangxian, the head of the Ministry of Works’ Water Department, was hated. No wonder Yang He didn’t take him seriously. It’s no wonder that he was so bold and arrogant.

He thought that the Inspector Censor was in Huai'an. Although the Governor Shi Kefa protected him, Yang He slandered the matter and spread the words "Scholars were humiliated and had a fight with women in the street, but they were overturned and embarrassed." However, the Inspector Censor should have heard of this.

Soon the patrol will go on a local inspection tour in August. Although their grade is low, they are only seventh rank, but they are called the emperor to inspect the emperor's hunting. They include officials, crimes, money, security, archives, schools, agriculture, sewerland, water conservancy, customs and people, and they are obsessed with everything. Small matters are handled immediately, and the emperor's decision is submitted, and the power is heavy.

All provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and county officials were all the targets of his inspection. Yang He fought against the scholar with a strong wife, and beat him up ignoring his status and fame. The inspector's position was ordered to inspect the prefectures and counties. How could he just ask about this? There was a good show when he was introduced.

The affairs of the state yamen were spreading so much that no one criticized them. There were gentry visiting them. At the same time, the state learning was the main force and the instructors were full of complaints.

Facing their complaints, the governor Su Cheng felt irritable. He was an old bureaucrat who had been through the profession and said that he was not evident in his mood, but he was upset recently and more time.

Facing everyone's complaints, he said unhappily: "Mr. Yang is young and energetic and ignorant. You are also ignorant? Be tolerant!"

He thought about the official document of this matter, and saw what the mansion said, and also tried whether Shi Governor Shi really valued Yang He. If Shi Kefa suppressed this matter, he would stop. If he ignored him, he would take back his police power after Yang He wiped out the thieves in Qingshan.

Huai'an has a long journey, and I don't know what to do with it for the time being, but after the tragedy, the provincial government responded coldly.

The governor Su Chengxing even scolded the students who made trouble, and it was purely a cause. The remaining students must take it as a warning, study with peace of mind, prepare for the provincial examination in August, and the spring examination in February next year. Don’t go out on the streets and do whatever you want.

The state yamen's statements have made many people feel cold.

Even the next day, a large number of yamen runners were removed from office work, such as Niu Xuejun, Lai Xian, Qi Xuanma, etc. The eight classes of the fast class were out of six, the eight heads were removed from office, and there were also a large number of people in the soap class of the strong class.

Then we waited for the troops outside to arrest them and took them to the police station, which even more shocked the inside and outside of Pizhou City.

Perhaps Yang He and Su Chengxing talked about something, so that Su Zhizhou felt Lord Yang's determination. In order to avoid the scene of Suining County Government, he did it himself.

If the soldiers slashed and killed like Suining County, and rushed in and fought, what was the face of the state? After all, Lord Su had been in the officialdom for decades, he would have taken the lead and won the praises of many gentry and people inside and outside the state city.

The 23rd day of the suppression and the 24th day of the arrest also made many people understand that Lord Yang's pace would not stop. They were completely desperate, saw clearly, and were unwilling to sit and wait for death. A bigger storm was brewing.

Therefore, two days later, inside and outside the prefecture city became strangely calm.

On the 24th, Wang Taifu and Wang Yangxin also left Pizhou.

The Ming Dynasty was full of internal and external troubles, and many scholars and kind people were actually looking for a path, but many people couldn't see the road of Yanghe clearly and many people felt afraid.

Wang Taifu thought that Yang He’s road was too unique, could it work? He still wanted to go to the capital to take a look.

He returned to his yard, and there was a peach tree under the south wall. He looked at the peach tree and said, "This is my tree, and flowers will bloom in the next year."

He and Wang Yangxin left Pizhou City and passed by Shiwu Temple. Here, some people wanted to bury the coffin mountain, and some burial sticks were blocked and asked for property. At the stalemate, a monk came in the temple with a whip and whipped the burial sticks vigorously. The green skins fled with their heads in their arms.

The people were grateful and said, "The monk fruit of the Ma Bian is chivalrous."

Looking at the monk, Wang Taifu sighed, "He is also a strange man."

He and Wang Yangxin left, and they left in the scorching sun.

...

On June 25th, near Mount Ai.

Aishan is composed of many mountains, and many mountains are not high. It is named after the mugwort everywhere, and there are also many peach trees. In the seventh year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, due to a major earthquake in Juzhou, Tancheng and other places in the Tanlu Fault Zone, Pizhou City fell and sank, so it was moved to build a new city in the sun of Aishan.

At this time, Mount Ai is still desolate, and in spring, the mountains are full of peach blossoms, and tourists will come to enjoy the flowers.

There is Grandma Temple Mountain near the main peak of Mount Aishan, which is named after the Taishan Grandma Temple. However, at this time, the temple dedicated to "Bixia Yuanjun" has long been destroyed, leaving only weeds. The original village at the foot of the mountain has long been ruined.

The loess path winds down to the foot of the mountain. Gao Yan looked down. There was a bright spot in front of him, leaving only dazzling sunshine.

He frowned and said, "Brother Gao, it seems that no one will give away any ransoms for these people's tickets. What should I do?"

A man wearing a hat and rolled up his legs was his recommended juren Gao Jun. He looked down at the mountain and the wilderness was desolate and uninhabited.

He sighed, "The world is really bad. Now no one has redeemed a few chickens and a few taels of silver. In the long run, our industry will become increasingly difficult to do."

He sighed, "No one will give away the ransom, just tear all the tickets."

Gao Yan responded, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

They went into Grandma's Temple, and there were more than a dozen "simple" men squatting or standing in the inner hall. They were dressed up with short hats and thrown into the crowd, and they would disappear in a blink of an eye.

In a corner of the hall, there were a few people tied up, including men, women, and children.

Each of their eyes was covered with plaster to prevent people from seeing the kidnappers. But if the eyes were blocked like this, they would be at risk of blindness over time. Then each of their limbs were tied with thin wire ropes, and their hands and feet were nailed to the ground and wooden wall with bamboo sticks, and there was a pool of black blood under them.

With such measures, you can't escape even if you have great skills.

But it is extremely cruel. Everyone's wounds have long become black and hematoma due to long-term blood loss. If they move slightly, they will be painful to penetrate the heart and lungs.

Each person's fingers were cut two or three times, even the child was no exception. Even the woman's clothes were stripped naked, and both breasts were strung with bells. As soon as she moved a little, the bell would shaking.

It looks like these people are not rich and noble families. The main reason is that the world is not good now, small villages are becoming more and more declining, large villages are not easy to tie, and rich people even go to the city.

Their bandits are becoming more and more difficult to do. They used to be tied up with rich families, but now they are rich and poor, and they even talk about the rich and poor, and they only need them for a chicken.

However, the world is difficult and life is worthless. Some families are tied up and they can't bear to pay even a ransom. Obviously, all the votes in front of them have been abandoned.

Gao Jun ordered all men to remove the plaster that they had pasted, and to remove the bamboo sticks that were nailed to their hands and feet, and to take them to the backyard.

Some pits were dug there long ago, which could be buried. Moreover, Gao Jun and others' main method of tearing up tickets was also "release the ceiling". This is to bury people in the soil pit, expose only the head, and then use an iron pick and iron vertebrae to hit the top of the skull. Because the blood pressure of the buried person was pressed towards the head, the bloody brain rushes out of the old high, which is called "release the ceiling".

The plaster that was covered with eyes were uncovered and pulled to the edge of the backyard pit. Knowing that these bandits were about to tear the vote, they were all crying and begging desperately. The children had fainted, but woke up at this time, shouting and crying.

All the men were unmoved. Gao Yan held a rod wrapped in iron, with a cruel smile on his face.

In just over a dozen days, he had followed Gao Jun to commit many cases. The people he tied to have to be punished and he would be executed.

He enjoyed the feeling of life passing away in his hands and the sad and desperate expression of being torn apart.

Soon everyone was buried in the pit, with only their heads exposed. Gao Yan compared the iron vertebrae and hit the man who was crying. It was like an egg shell breaking, a stream of bloody brain silica rushed out, rising high, but all fell back into the pit and would not splash on Gao Yan's body at all.

All the men applauded, and the man said: "Brother Gao is becoming more and more skilled. If this continues, he will definitely stand out in the team. One day, brothers will call you Gao Dasha even more."

Gao Yan laughed and made a name for himself. This was a matter of course in his opinion.

He held the iron vertebrae and broke the top of the man's skull one by one. When it was the woman's turn, she stopped crying and begging, but just stared at him with her eyes tightly and cursed resentfully: "You thieves, the most evil beasts in the world, will not die well!"

Gao Yan was furious and hit the iron vertebrae in his hand hard, and the bloody brain plasma splattered all over him.

With a ferocious face, he came to the man-ticket child and hit him hard again.

Seeing his ferocious look, Gao Jun and others were a little disappointed. Then they didn't care. Who was not cruel and insulting to become bandits? People like Gao Yan are everywhere in the team, and if they themselves, they are also such people.

Soon all the people were torn, and all the men took action and buried their bodies.

While I was burying, I suddenly heard someone coming to report that something was happening at the foot of the mountain.

Gao Jun was shocked and took a few people out. Gao Yan and others continued to bury the bodies. Soon they heard strange bird songs coming from the mountainside. Gao Jun soon came back with a smile on his face, accompanied by a few men wearing straw hats.

He smiled and said, "Brothers, Ma Ma summons us, I'll have a big vote this time!"

...

June 26th, almost noon.

Feng Ximao, the joint defense team leader who taught the wise, was led by a crying man and led more than 100 joint defense team members to protect the village team, as well as his younger brother, Feng Xiyang, the deputy deputy of the joint defense team, rushed to Lijiazhuang twenty miles north of Ji.

The Qishijiji site is located on the Yi River. There are water and drought piers, with shops standing in a row, which is quite lively. Therefore, there are many joint defense team members here, with half of the archers and half of the sword and shield spearmen in the middle.

Feng was a wealthy family in the teaching of the wise and the wealthy family. Some time ago, Feng Ximao was invited to the Pizhou General Administration Office to discuss matters. He was appointed as the captain of the joint defense team of the teaching of the wise and the two younger brothers Feng Xiyang and Feng Xien were also appointed as the team deputy.

The teaching of the wise collection originally had the protection of the village, but he always only cared about the matter of this collection. However, after Feng became an official figure, he had the obligation to wipe out the bandits in the area and support the surrounding villages.

Not long ago, some men and women suddenly fled to Lijiazhuang and cried about the fact that Zhuangzi was captured by bandits. Feng Ximao was very surprised. Although Lijiazhuang was not a large Zhuangzi, the population was hundreds, and there were more than 100 young and strong men.

The joint defense team member with fifty people, the surname Li, was named Li. Even if there were nearly a thousand bandits attacking, there was no reason to fall into it all at once and could not stand the support of the surrounding areas and the police station.

The escaped men and women cried: "It's all Li Dazi and the others who looked honest and kind, but they didn't expect it to be bandits. When the door opened at the third hour, the bandits rushed in. They were all bandits, just Ma Ma and the people in the village... the people in the village..."

As they were talking, the men and women started crying again.

Feng Ximao left his younger brother Feng Xien to guard the village, and at the same time reported to Daxingzhuang, twenty miles south. There was a police station there, and there were twenty elite troops of the Xin'an army stationed, everyone had horses, and half of them also had sharp self-produced muskets.

Then Feng Ximao took his younger brother Feng Xiyang and more than 100 joint defensemen to Lijiazhuang. They ran 20 miles and rushed to Lijiazhuang along the Yi River.

From a distance, I saw the village smoking and everyone entered, and everything in front of them shocked them.

There were corpses everywhere, and in front of each house and on the street, there were terrible corpses. Some young people were tied to trees and died of cutting, some elderly people were tied to ox carts and burned to death, some women were stripped naked and their clothes were dumbfounded, and some babies were placed under the stone rollers that grind wheat into meat paste.

The strong smell of blood and corpse stinking fills the mouth and nose. The bandits used cruel means to kill Zhuang Min. It can be seen that many women were ruined and died by the bandits. In particular, Feng Ximao saw a girl who was ruined and was dumbfounded and her belly was filled with stones.

Some women jumped into the well for fear of being humiliated, so the bandits threw them in with rollers and smashed them to death.

The Lijiazhuang was over. Except for the dozen people who escaped, hundreds of people died. Everyone went in in shock. Finally, they saw the captain Li Jingkui in front of the local joint defense captain's house.

I saw him hanging on a large wooden pole, and all the bones in his body were smashed and broken with a stick. He hung softly on it, and he had been very angry for a long time.

He was covered in dark brown blood, with flies buzzing, eyes open, like dead fish.

Being looked at by his eyes makes people extremely creepy.

And under the big wooden pole, a baby was thrown to death and turned into a meat paste.

Feng Ximao trembled and shouted shrillly: "What a beast!"
