Chapter 2069 Gui Zi Juan is neither poisonous nor husband (continued)
Heliande never expected that he would appear as a public servant and have to shoulder such an important responsibility.
This made him feel dizzy due to inexplicable excitement, and his whole body was filled with pleasure. At the same time, he kept reminding himself not to lose his composure. This was only the first step.
Ten days ago he was just a wanderer on the road.
Don’t think that people in Jianghu are just enjoying the food and drink as much as they want. Outsiders only see the most beautiful side, but cannot see the side in the shadows.
In order for the sect to develop and grow, countless people have been working hard in obscurity. Although Heliande thinks that he is relatively famous in Huaiqing Mansion, he is still far from being a master.
In the eyes of real dignitaries, Jianghu people are still low-class people. Local gentry still look down upon them and do not allow them to get involved in many businesses, even in Shaolin.
After receiving the message from the door, Heliande could only put down his business and come all the way.
Li Guibao is a famous person in the family, and it is said that he has climbed to a high branch and wants to support old friends in the family, so many people come, and they are all eager.
Only when we got to the fields did we realize that this job was not easy to do. There were rebel troops outside and the city was besieged. Although everyone made a living by licking blood from the edge of a knife through rain or wind, we had to deal with these rebellious desperadoes directly. This is the first time.
It's not that I'm afraid of death. Fighting alone is no match for ten or eight people. But if they are swarmed by hundreds or even thousands, then it's a bit difficult for a quack like me.
An elephant is killed by many ants, and a sword and a gun have no eyesight. Who can tell clearly on the battlefield?
But Heliande had already been mentally prepared. Pies would not fall from the sky, and the people above him would be more cruel and ruthless.
I used to think that I was working as a guard for the nobles in the court, and Li Guibao was a big shot in the family. It turned out that I still had some friendship with him, so I was able to give him such an opportunity. This was quite a sign of respecting the old friendship.
Unexpectedly, the situation turned out to be a big surprise. He was actually going to be used as the governor's personal soldier, and he was going to make a big move as soon as he came.
Liu Dingfeng looked at his partner next to him and felt the excitement in his heart. Wasn't he the same?
They had never thought that it would be their turn to carry out such a beautiful job as raiding large gentry households. They may have never dreamed before.
The governor and the magistrate did not explain much. They only said that they would take it down decisively. If there was resistance, they would kill without mercy. With such an order, it was almost like being ordered to kill.
Compared to the battles in the arena where you have to consider the consequences, it was so enjoyable that Liu Dingfeng had to say hello to a group of guys who looked like they had been given blood in advance and obey the orders and not take action without permission.
"Congratulations to the inspector, sir?" The old man in brown shirt looked at the fat man in official uniform with a puffy chest and belly in surprise, "What does this mean?"
Clearing his throat, the obese man looked intently and pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "By order of the county magistrate, Jun: Here are seventeen members of Qu Dezhao, a citizen of Wubao County, who do not care about the king's kindness and collude to rebel against the Qingjian army. The bandits jumped into the stream, Tiger King Er Mazi and his party, causing trouble in the place and endangering the whole party. I am ordering the house to be searched immediately and the criminals to be arrested..."
Three times, five times and two times, the short and fat man finished reciting the brief handwritten order in his hand in one breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and quickly backed away, leaving the rest to these unfamiliar faces.
He knew that the Qu family was not a good person and that there were gangsters hiding in the house. He had even suspected that there were gangsters hiding among them. He had reported all this to the magistrate.
As for the filial piety of the Qu family, have you ever done that? I can’t remember.
Liu Dingfeng took a deep breath and pressed the narrow-edged knife on his waist. It was a little uncomfortable, but it was still usable. Impersonating Long Jinwei was an unforgivable crime, but with the governor carrying it, what should he be afraid of?
"Okay, Mr. Qu, please come with us and your family..." Liu Dingfeng smiled and took a step forward.
They all had unfamiliar faces, and they were obviously not locals. He felt a chill running down his spine.
"Who are you?" the old man in brown shirt said sternly: "Do you know Qu Yingzhen? Shanxi Town..."
Liu Dingfeng suddenly waved his hand and interrupted: "Qu Gong, there is no need to say this. Since we are here at your house, we only talk about business and nothing else. As for our identities, you must have guessed..."
Liu Dingfeng flashed the waistband in his hand, and a copper waistband with a special shape similar to Ω but with a square suffix appeared in front of him, shining brightly under the light of the lantern on the door.
The old man in brown shirt could be considered to have seen the world, and his face changed suddenly: "Long Jinwei? Are you Long Jinwei? Where did the Dragon Jinwei come from in Wubao County? You dare to forge the Long Jinwei waist badge, and you are not afraid of killing the nine tribes?"
Liu Dingfeng laughed and said, "Forgery of the Dragon Guard badge, Mr. Qu, you said we are not afraid of killing the nine tribes. Inspection He is still here. He is the inspector of Wubao County Government. Isn't he afraid of killing him?" Nine tribes? Besides, we also have people in the Zeng family over there. Inspector Zhang is over there. Do you think that from the county magistrate Mr. Xia to the two inspectors Zhang He, the people in the Wubao County Yamen like to kill the Nine Tribes? Are you kidding me?"
Hearing Liu Dingfeng say that the Zeng family on the other side of the street was also surrounded, the old man in brown shirt felt his heart sink, and he immediately understood the purpose of these people's coming. They were colluding with the rebels, and they were not going to the Qu family at the east gate. The more than 100 servants went there, and so did the Zeng family...
"My lord, your surname is Qu. Qu is not well-known in Wubao County. Quan Zi is in Shanxi Town..." The old man in brown shirt was interrupted again by Liu Dingfeng: "Mr. Qu, please leave these words to the county government. , Okay, Lieutenant Long is handling the case, everyone should stand still and not move rashly, otherwise, they will be punished as treason and not even killed!"
Before the old man in brown shirt could say anything else, two wolf-like government officials had already pounced on him. They held up the old man in brown shirt and walked aside. Immediately after, the people brought by Liu Dingfeng filed in. With the cooperation of the government officials, He quickly took control of the entire house, and the house raids began with great fanfare.
The old man in brown shirt had a gray face. He struggled and begged for mercy: "Sir, the Qu family has never offended Long Jinwei. Mr. Xia always obeys his orders. Why do you treat the Qu family like this?"
"Oh, Mr. Qu seems to have forgotten about the siege of the city by the rebels. A few days ago, even the squires outside the city knew how to protect their family and the city, but it seems that more than a hundred members of the Qu family only enjoyed themselves in the house. Until Mr. Xia ordered to go to the city to guard, the Qu family We defended Dongcheng, but what did we do? Do you still need me to tell you one by one? How many times have you seen Er Mazi, the Tiger King in Tiaojian? That Qian family on the street outside Guandi Temple, your Qu family What do you mean? It seems that your Qu family's grain shop still has several thousand shi of grain, right? Half a month ago, the price of corn increased to five liang and one shi. Haha, it's still priceless and has no market. It only sells for 20 shi every day. , what is this going to do?”
A series of questions made the old man in brown shirt turn pale, his body was shaky, and he could no longer support himself. He collapsed softly on the ground and said reluctantly: "My lord, my lord, if there is any need, the Qu family will obey. I just want to spare the lives of everyone in the Qu family..."
Liu Dingfeng smiled and said, "Why is Qu Gong so talkative at this time? It is said that there are people in the city colluding with the rebels outside the city and intending to sacrifice the city. I wonder if Qu Gong knows?"
"Dedicating the city? How can this happen?" The old man in brown shirt was horrified, "No matter how stupid I am, I am not so unwise. On Wang Ermazi's side, the old man just wants to buy an escape route, so how can I talk about dedicating the city? "
"Oh?" Liu Dingfeng sneered, "If Qu Gong doesn't do it, what about the others? Can Qu Gong guarantee it for the others?"
"Others?" The old man in brown shirt was at a loss. He didn't know how to answer or what the other party meant.
Liu Dingfeng glanced at him coldly, said nothing more, waved his hand, and Heliande led two government officials to drag the old man in brown shirt out, and dragged him halfway. The old man in brown shirt was so blessed that he suddenly woke up: "Sir , Sir, I know, I know, I was about to report Zeng Guoxi, a big family in the city, for colluding with the underground tigers outside the city, intending to dedicate the city, and even tried to win over me, but he refused..."
Liu Dingfeng finally laughed, with a meaningful smile on his face: "Very good, Mr. Qu finally woke up and it's not too late to make up for it. You can go to the county government and tell everything clearly, but don't do it." A good person has been wronged, but a bad person cannot be spared..."
After saying that, Liu Dingfeng waved his hand, and Heliande pushed the old man in brown shirt out. As for how to deal with it, it was not something he could interfere with. Master Feng would naturally decide.
Just when the Qu family was wiped out by everyone, at the other end of the street, the door of the Zeng family had been knocked open by Minzhuang with a big log. Several archers on the wall were shot down with hidden weapons by the martial arts masters outside, and the door of the mansion was blocked. Being knocked away means that resistance will only turn into a one-sided massacre.
Li Guibao did not personally participate, but handed everything over to his deputy Chu Yunfei to cooperate with the county magistrate for execution. The Zeng family was obviously more determined and unmoved than the Qu family.
The government's order did not make them give up their vigilance, so it eventually turned into a forceful attack.
However, no matter how tall the walls of this kind of private residence are, it is obviously unable to withstand the strong attack of hundreds of Minzhuang. After a brief stalemate and fighting, the door of the mansion was broken down, and Minzhuang swarmed in under the leadership of a group of people from all walks of life. , By this time, Li Guibao had enough time to enter with the two county magistrates.
The next task is to follow the Qu family's report and search the Zeng family's old, young, women, children, and every tree and plant in order to turn this major rebellion case of colluding with the rebels and intending to sacrifice the city into an "iron case" that will never be reversed. ".
So it all fell into place.
