After a "fierce battle", the officers and soldiers of the two squads killed three people, wounded two people, killed four mad dogs in the hospital, and made an emergency landing of 37 people.
Liu Gui's house, the largest house in the village, became the place for temporary interrogation and detention of suspects, without first obtaining the consent of the real owner.
"Guan Shun! You and your brothers set Liu Da's house on fire in the middle of the night, and now you are caught. Do you have anything to say?"
Platoon leader Wu Xing got addicted to being a county magistrate and sat on the Taishi chair in the front hall of Liu Gui's house to start the case.
"Although you are the soldiers of the prince, you behave like bandits. You kill innocent people indiscriminately and poison the countryside. Just now you killed my brother, then besieged my house, and now you are falsely accusing us of arson. It is really a joke to sow discord and confuse right and wrong!" If you are not an official of the imperial court, how can you have the right to decide the case? It is a shame for Master Wang to overstep his authority and act recklessly!"
Guan Shuncai would not admit his fault. Not only that, he would also argue in his own favor, so that outsiders who didn't know the reason would feel that what he said made sense.
"Haha, you are so good at quibbling, do you think you have done something immoral and just don't admit it? Go ahead and dream! I already know the details of you and your bullshit brother. You guys usually do a lot of evil, and now you dare to trap them. Liu Da, you are really asking for your own death. One thing you said is right, that is, I do not have the power to resolve the case, but I might as well hand you and your family over to someone who can resolve the case. Don’t think that the county magistrate will Regarding this matter, the Crown Prince has spoken in advance. All cases arising from the autumn harvest will be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial. Based on what you have done, those who have died deserve to die, and those who are still alive will not be able to escape! The female family members will be punished. All the men are sent to Shandong to mine in the Distribution Department! You should be satisfied now, right?"
Wu Xing simply didn't want to follow a mad dog's theory or even what he was talking about. Whether he said it was right or not, someone would deal with the mad dog and his family in the end, and the result was a certainty.
"Hmph! If you want to impose a crime, why bother? If the person who committed the most evil crimes in this village is Liu Gui, what we have done is just a drop in the bucket compared to him. Liu Gui's carriage hit and killed Liu Da's dog. Losing money. Liu Gui was always short of money when collecting rent, and no one dared to take care of it. Liu Gui urged Liu Da's family to pay the rent, and Liu Da's father was forced to die because of it. Liu Gui turned a blind eye. Similar things happened hundreds of times in this village Every household has suffered. Bullying of men and women, forced expropriation, and eating and drinking of neighbors are all done by Liu Gui. Do you, a seemingly just person, dare to take care of it? Is it because you are short-tongued? Just pretend that you have never done it. Ever heard of it?”
When it comes to inside information, especially when it comes to things that are unknown to outsiders, Guan Shun has a considerable advantage.
It's just about Liu Gui, and he won't speak to outsiders unless absolutely necessary.
But now the situation is very clear, Liu Gui is Guan Shun's shield.
Even if this shield doesn't work very well, you still have to take it out and give it a try.
"You are so slanderous! I usually treat you well, why did you deliberately frame me?"
Before Wu Xing could say anything, Liu Gui, who was listening nearby, suddenly started angrily. Even if what Guan Shun said was true, he was determined not to admit it.
"Oh? This is interesting! Liu Gui! Is what he said true?"
Wu Xing was very interested in this. Anyway, it was a long night and he didn't want to sleep, so he just listened to the book. Liu Gui was not a good person, so he might be able to make some profit.
"Master Jun! I'm wronged! Master Jun, don't listen to his filthy words. He doesn't even have a single word of merit. They are all slandering Xiao Xiao. Although Xiao Xiao is somewhat famous in this village, he has always valued peace. Isn't that right? Can you harm your neighbors?"
While Liu Gui was defending himself, he was thinking about what benefits he could use to silence Wu Xing afterwards. Once the incident came to light, there would be no way to make amends.
"Fart! The whole village is your tenant, how did you get the thousand acres of fertile land in your hand? Could it be that it was given as a gift by others? Aren't all the concubines of yours snatched by force? But there is one person who is willing to marry me? Are you a common man? All the families in the village are so poor, but your family is very rich. How can you grow gold leaves in your land? The biggest disaster in the village is you, but everyone is afraid of your lackeys. He also bribed the county officials, so he had to swallow his anger and not dare to report it to the official!"
Now that he has broken his skin, Guan Shun has nothing to worry about. He exposed part of Liu Gui's evil deeds in one breath. This part, as long as it comes to light, is enough for Liu Gui to drink a pot.
"You...you are obviously talking nonsense, making things out of nothing, and using any means to frame me! I will definitely be incompatible with you, and I will not worship God! Master, you must not listen to his lies and crazy words! This is a heart-breaking plan, and it must not be used as evidence. !”
It is easy to find a certification in the village. The key lies in whether the other party is willing to testify.
Once the county's backers are no longer reliable, Liu Gui will have to find a new backer.
Without a backer, all the evil things he has done will come to light.
Even if just one thing is verified by the above, it can make him bankrupt.
Don't underestimate a trivial matter, as long as it is used by someone with ulterior motives, it will become Liu Gui's disaster.
Because Liu Gui had dealt with the people of his village in this way before, now he was deeply afraid that a disaster would come to him and tried his best to prevent similar things from happening to him.
"What you said seems to make sense. I am confused. How about you write down everything you know so that I can submit it to you. I believe there will be a clear conclusion from above. If you are illiterate, you can Just tell it orally first, and I can arrange for someone to record it."
After hearing the bickering between the two, Wu Xing came up with a new method. This would allow the two to produce evidence of their own crimes. They were just testifying against each other. It was impossible to expose their own scandals, but it should be enough. used.
Guan Shun had already fallen into the river, but he still wanted to drag Liu Gui into the water. Naturally, he was very happy. Even if he died, he had to have someone on his back. Liu Gui was a good cushion.
In the past, I worked for Liu Gui and took care of many neighbors, but now I want him to have a taste of being taken care of. If he could really follow Liu Gui's evil deeds, maybe this guy would die even more miserably by me.
When the two recalled each other's evidence, it was like chasing each other without giving in. It was like a running race. The officers in the platoon were sometimes dumbfounded and sometimes laughed and laughed.
Especially when they heard that Liu Gui's youngest son Liu Xi was not his biological son, but was probably the son of his concubine and Liu Gui's housekeeper Liu An, everyone was so happy that it was true that misfortunes never come singly!
Liu Gui was so angry that he fainted after hearing this. He didn't believe it at first, but when he thought that Liu Xi didn't look like him at all, more like the housekeeper Liu An, he suddenly felt angry...
This kind of thing makes people feel ashamed more than anything else, especially when it is known to outsiders. As for how Guan Shun knew about it, he didn't know.
By chance, Guan Shun saw Liu An looking at the concubine in a wrong way, so he paid attention privately, and took advantage of Liu Gui to go to Tongzhou to have sex in the middle of the night, and then he saw an astonishing scene.
Since the two of them were very good at keeping secrets, Liu Gui would have been kept in the dark if it hadn't been for today's incident. This "good" hat was definitely worn!
If Liu Gui is willing, he can receive such a hat every day from now on, changing one every day without wearing the same one.
However, the Crown Prince had his word first. If anyone found a criminal among the East Palace Guards, he would be assigned to a death squad and be responsible for spearheading the counterattack against the Dog Tatars. In serious cases, the offending part will be cut off and then beheaded in public.
Even if you are assigned to a death squad, it is still a lifeless job. Fighting in the field against the dog Tatars, especially the cavalry who want to attack the Tatars, will either directly beg for surrender or die on the spot.
After receiving such "kind instructions", the East Palace Guards were still frightened. Their master, the Crown Prince, hated people who mistook holy edicts the most in his life.
Anyone who dares to take the prince's words as fart is living impatiently. The prince has at least ten ways to make you miserable.
Since Liu Gui also became a suspect, Wu Xing imprisoned him in a room and was not allowed to go out at will. If he was caught after escaping, he would not be treated as he is now.
Except for Liu Gui's wives, concubines, and young children, as long as they could still walk, all had to work in the fields, otherwise the remaining crops would be burned down.
Most of the village's fields have been harvested, and there is still a small part left. As long as the whole village goes to the fields, it will be almost done in half a day.
In principle, the time limit given above is five days, but in fact it can be delayed by one or two days. It is impossible to pack the wheat that is piled up by the river and throw it into the river to feed the fish without loading it into the boat.
"Yeah! Not bad!" End point
A certain prince received a report from Zhou Yuji, saying that the various people sent by the East Palace Guards alone had transported more than 100,000 shi of wheat to the capital in these days.
Including the grains that have arrived from other ministries, the amount of grain in Jifu alone exceeds 700,000 dans, and the total amount sent by prefectures and counties has reached one million dans.
It looks like a lot, but it's actually unhusked wheat. The cultivated land area of Shuntian Prefecture is at least four million acres, and the output of one mu of land is calculated as one stone of wheat, which is also as huge as four million stones.
Only about a quarter of the money has been collected. The actual situation should be much worse. The bigger the difference is because either local tycoons will never turn it over, or the common people still have illusions.
But that's it, you can't force anything. These people are willing to feed their pigtails with food, and a certain prince can't stop them, so just let them go.
A sack of grain in exchange for the words "Long live the Qing Emperor" may seem to them to be a very cost-effective deal. This business is really amazing!
"Your Highness, it was caused by the food requisition..."
Zhou Yuji didn't dare to continue talking. The food was requisitioned, and the incident started because of this. Dozens of his soldiers were injured. Fortunately, none of them were killed, otherwise Zhou Yuji would have been shameless to report it.
"If the village bully is guilty of obvious crimes, he will definitely leave clues. As long as someone is willing to report it, it will not be too late after verification and conviction. The officers and soldiers of the East Palace Guards are suspected of being involved. Those who abuse women will be severely punished according to pre-determined regulations after verification. Those involved in murder cases must be treated as human beings. Evidence and physical evidence are the basis. In short, you can’t unjustly accuse a good person, and you can’t let a bad person go.”
In addition to a pile of grain, the idiot below also caused a lot of trouble for a certain prince.
This is inevitable. When it comes to food, it is the lifeblood of a group of people. It would be strange if nothing happens.
"All cases that are difficult to determine can be tried by me personally. I want to see how the bad guys pretend to be good guys and try to deceive them!"
Anyway, idle time is idle, so just be a "certain blue sky".
There were more than 500 cases reported by various ministries, of which the East Palace Guards were involved in hundreds.
From this point of view, this dog-legged unit may not be good at fighting, but it is quite capable of causing trouble...
The reason for being so anxious is that there are complaints from the three judicial departments, that is, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment.
It is said that Master Wang went out not only to collect food, but also to recruit many suspects.
Afterwards, they were all crammed into their place, making the prison overcrowded.
Because they involve officers and soldiers of the Wang Division, these cases must be completed as soon as possible.
Seeing that Donglu was about to be defeated, there were still thousands of officers and soldiers waiting to be surrendered in the capital, which would definitely affect the morale of the King's division.
"Brother Imperial! How many days will it take for this disease to be cured?"
After a while, the little fat man ran out of the house, but he was very concerned about his life.
"It's almost here! Don't you think it's not getting worse? From Brother Wei's point of view, that's it. This is called Fogitailai!"
The skin of a certain prince and the little fat man had developed red rashes in the past few days, indicating that the reduced version of the smallpox virus had spread. Fortunately, they did not die.
The power of cowpox is just that, otherwise a child would not be able to bear it at all.
Otherwise, Uncle Jenner, who loves to vaccinate children, will become the incarnation of death...
"That's good! Grandpa Taizu, please wish the child to be safe and sound!"
The little fat man was relieved after hearing this, and then he prayed to the sky seriously.
He had to engage in activities like this several times a day. Over time, he even believed it himself.
If you persist for a long time, you may actually have the potential to go to the West and exploit it.
"Don't worry! Everything will be fine for sure!"
Take care of yourself. It seems that apart from Wang Mang, I have never heard of a second number.
A certain prince estimated that in ten days and a half, the virus would be gone and he would be able to obtain corresponding antibodies.
However, based on this calculation, the original smallpox virus was indeed very powerful and could not be avoided by both the East and the West.
Definitely the number one trump card in this time and space!
It’s perfect for braids!
However, we haven't received a report from Tanma about the pigtails entering the customs. Could it be that there was a traffic jam on the way into the army?
It would be better if the car crashed, and Huang Taiji was directly crushed into a can by his stupid carriage!
But this possibility is just a thought. As long as the information from Fei Ge is true, Braid will not leave easily this time.
There are tens of millions of taels of silver in the capital. Once the city is breached, it will be at your fingertips. Will Huang Taiji let go of this God-given opportunity?
Besides, if this guy doesn't come to attack the city, just like last time, he'll just be on the outside to attack the city.
Isn’t the big gift package I kindly prepared for him in vain?
Human hearts are made of flesh, so the villain must cooperate with the protagonist!
Otherwise, let alone salary, you won’t even be able to receive a lunch box!
If he comes late, the box lunch will be eaten by the little fat house. Although this guy is sick, his appetite has not decreased at all.
It seems that the number has increased, because a patient used the excuse that he was seriously ill and had to eat a lot of snacks and fruits...
If every patient who received free treatment in the army hospital was like him, the imperial court would go bankrupt.
Fortunately, most of the Ming vassal kings have been driven out of their own territory, otherwise they would not even have enough money to defend themselves against the enemy.
