The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 265 Riots at the Renovation Site
Recently, the rehabilitation center has taken in a group of prisoners, most of whom are roosters and dog thieves. They are released after digging out rocks for two to three months.

Monk Hun, the manager of the rehabilitation center, is not interested in these sneaky gangsters. He hopes to take two extremely vicious people into custody so that he can vent his strong energy.

Although in Monk Hun's view, the reformatory is no different from a prison, there are actually quite a few rules inside, and there are many prohibitions that cannot be violated.

One of them is that prisoners cannot be mistreated without reason.

When Monk Hun worked as a salt dealer, he was a frequent visitor to prisons in various states and counties, and he was very familiar with prison routines.

When you enter prison, no matter if you are a gangster, a murderer, or a young gangster who stole three melons and two dates and molested women from good families, you will have to peel off a layer of your skin.

Most of the jailers are more hateful than the imps in front of the King of Hell's Palace, and they live by sucking human bones and blood and eating the food of the dead.

In the reform camp, the prisoners only need to work honestly, have clothes and food, sleep and wash on time, and they can go out after the prison term expires with good performance.

Monk Hun often lamented that compared with his previous prison experiences, digging rocks in the rehabilitation center was simply a blessing.

The Young Master advocates humane management and often educates them that prisoners are also human beings, and they should be treated kindly and carry forward the humanitarian spirit.
Monk Hun had never studied and could not figure out what the "humanity" that the young commander meant.

At first, I didn't understand why the young commander was so kind to this group of prisoners undergoing reform through labor.

Later, as the public security in Jingzhou improved day by day, many prisoners were able to change their minds and start a new life after being released from the reform center, treating their wives, children, neighbors, and living in harmony with others.

When Monk Hun returned to the county town after his holiday, he even went to the farming area to meet a few friends he met at the renovation site.

The longer he worked in the reformation site, the more Monk Hun could understand the good intentions of the young envoy.

Young Master is doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Young Master has a reputation of benevolence. He not only treats ordinary people, but also the prisoners in the correctional facility.

Monk Hun firmly believes that Young Master must be the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, otherwise how could he have such a Bodhisattva-like heart.

However, there are a group of people who are not within the scope of the benevolent government of the young envoy.

More than 2000 party prisoners were taken.

Among this group of people, the Dangxiang people accounted for the majority. The other Tubo, Uighur, Shatuo people, as well as the miscellaneous beards born from Han Hu, basically had the same habits as the Dangxiang people.

Since Monk Hun began to learn to read and read, his favorite saying is: "People who are not of my race must have different minds."

Monk Hun felt that this sentence was most suitable for this group of prisoners.

These party dogs burned, killed and looted in Yuanzhou, and went to the territory of the Zhangyi Army to defecate and urinate. No matter how much they tortured them, Monk Hun felt that they should.

When the news came back that Yuanzhou Racecourse had been occupied by troops sent by Party members, the soldiers and civilians in Jingzhou were filled with indignation. Many veterans spontaneously gathered together and asked for war and sent troops.

Although Monk Hun is lame in one leg and blind in one eye, he can ride a horse, carry a knife, and kill a few party members.

Monk Hun originally wanted to organize the veterans in the rehabilitation center to participate in a petition for war, but when Zhu Xiu found out, he called him back and scolded him severely.

The Young Master is a scholar, and he is also very particular and elegant in scolding people. Monk Hun can't remember exactly what he scolded, but he remembers one sentence: "If you come out to fool around, sooner or later you will have to pay back!"

No, in less than a year, the party members really returned their capital with interest.

Monk Hun admired Zhu Xiu so much that he fell to the ground.

He originally wanted to go to the county town to find a painter to copy a portrait of Young Commander, take it back to the renovation site and hang it in his office, where he would look up to him every day, but he was sued by someone who didn't know, and Zhu Xiu called him back to the county town and scolded him.

The party prisoners were scattered to ten prison districts, and troops were stationed in each prison district.

Monk Hun deliberately arranged for the Dangxiang people to do the heaviest work. They were the first to get up and the last to eat every day. Within half a month, some Dangxiang people couldn't stand it anymore and plotted riots in two prison areas.

Monk Hun had been instructed by Zhu Xiu for a long time, and he would not tolerate party members who dared to cause trouble, and all those who caused trouble would be killed.

The crossbowmen who had been mobilized for the garrison early came in handy. Relying on the watchtowers and archery towers scattered throughout the reform site and the warning posts on the hillsides, more than a hundred party prisoners who were rebellious were shot and killed within two hours.

Monk Hun also ordered people to pile the corpses together, and drove the prisoners from various prison areas to watch. In front of all the prisoners, the corpses were burned clean.

Although the Dangxiang people believe in Buddhism, they do not advocate cremation in Buddhism. On the contrary, the Dangxiang people fear cremation and regard it as a terrible punishment that cannot be transcended after death.

More than a hundred corpses were burned to ashes, and many party prisoners were so frightened that they knelt down and cried bitterly.

Since then, the Dangxiang people have lived a lot better.

However, in recent days, fights have often occurred in the First Ward, and many of the newly detained prisoners have stabbed many people in the head. The First Ward also holds many middle- and higher-level military leaders among the Party prisoners of war, including Li Guangyan.

No one knew that several fights broke out under the deliberate arrangement of Monk Hun.

The office area of ​​the reform site is on a hillside, overlooking the entire prison area.

Two guards escorted a thin prisoner who had his head lowered to see his face clearly to Monk Hun's official room.

The prisoner looked frail, but his hands and feet were shackled.

Her short, messy hair was messy, and her prison uniform looked unusually wide on her body.

"You all go down." Monk Hun glanced at the prisoner and waved to the two guards.

The guards retreated, Monk Hun led the prisoner into the house and closed the door.

"Oh~ I have made Lady Hongyu suffer! Come on~ untie it quickly, sit down and take a breather, snacks, cakes and tea, you can take whatever you want to eat. I will have someone specially bring a banquet later."

Monk Hun showed a cowardly smile and diligently helped to unlock the shackles.

Bi Hongyu rubbed the red and swollen marks on her wrists, sat down on a wicker chair, spread her calloused palms, and placed them on top of the charcoal basin for warmth.

Monk Hun looked at her, smacked his lips and said: "When Madam Hongyu just came back from Puzhou, our Zhenhai camp veterans were gathering at Taihe Building. At that time, I saw you with long hair and a bit of femininity. How could you be so cute?" After a few days, he cut off his long hair and even went to my rehabilitation center to fight with party members. It’s true that Young Ambassador Jun Ye won’t send anyone else here when he has a mission, and he doesn’t know how to pity women at all.”

Bi Hongyu glanced at him indifferently. Monk Hun felt the sharp look in those eyes and waved his hands with a smile: "Okay~ I'll shut up!"

Bi Hongyu ate the cake in silence, with a small crack on her right eyebrow bone, a bruise on the corner of her left eye, several swollen joints on her left finger, and countless flesh wounds all over her body, all from fights with party members. .

At the rehabilitation center, no one except Monk Hun and Li Guangyan knew that she was a woman, and no one knew that she was here under orders.

The punishment for fighting in the reform camp is quite severe, not to mention the longer sentence, and the food for the day is cut off, and only some clean water is provided.

Under the heavy workload, you will soon feel hungry and dizzy, and you can't wait to pick up the brine stone and chew it like a steamed bun.

Monk Hun couldn't help but murmured: "Hongyu, we all came from Zhenhai Camp. You are still young, so there is no need to work so hard. After all, you are a woman. What should you do if your body bones are broken?
If you can't have a baby, which man will want you in the future?Our monk also regards you as his own sister, so he tells you this from the bottom of his heart. How much better would it be if you had followed the commander-in-chief?Now it's okay, your wife has become a girl, and you still have to work hard." Bi Hongyu's eyes were like daggers, which made Monk Hun tremble with fear, and he shook his hands in a cold sweat: "We won't tell!Just don’t say it! "

Bi Hongyu grabbed the chicken legs and ate them hungrily, with a gloomy look in her eyes like a hungry wolf.

Monk Hun saw this and sighed secretly.

"After today's fight, two party military leaders have already asked about my identity. It can be seen that they are very interested in me."

Bi Hongyu drank a pot of tea, wiped her mouth and said her first words after entering the house.

"After three days, you alone have defeated more than a dozen Dangxiang military leaders, big and small, and they have already surrendered to you. After all, the Dangxiang people are bastards with a wolf mentality. It is impossible to make them surrender by relying on kindness. The only way is to defeat them. Only if you beat them hard will they obey your words." Monk Hun said.

Bi Hongyu glanced at him: "You have become much more polite in your speech."

Monk Hun said proudly: "After reading for more than half a year, I must have made some progress. The last time I returned to the county, the young envoy also praised me for my academic achievements."

Bi Hongyu twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to smile, but it just matched her evil face, which made her look a little weird.

Bi Hongyu wrapped the other chicken leg in rough paper and stuffed it into her clothes. She was thin and wearing a loose prison uniform, so it was difficult to find something hidden on her body.

"Rumours have already spread among party members, and I have a hunch that they will do something in the near future." Bi Hongyu said in a deep voice.

Monk Hun scratched his bald head and said with a wry smile: "I still don't understand why the Young Master wanted to let these prisoners go. Wouldn't it be better to stay here digging rocks and working?"

The rumor in the reform camp was secretly spread by Monk Hun under Zhu Xiu's instructions. It was said that Li Guangrui was rescued by Li Yiyin at a large price, and they, low-status party soldiers, could only stay and wait for death.

There are also rumors that the Changyi Army has made a condition that as long as the patriarch Li Yiyin gives money, they prisoners can return to their hometown.

It's a pity that the patriarch can't bear the money.

Anger spread among the Dangxiang people. They hated the patriarch's neglect of them. This anger was also mixed with deep disappointment and disappointment for the entire Dangxiang aristocratic group.

The more than 2000 prisoners of war became more and more restless, which was the effect Zhu Xiu wanted to achieve.

Bi Hongyu didn't know how to answer Monk Hun's question. She knew in her heart that this was a key step for Zhu Xiu to create divisions within the party members, but she didn't know how to express it in words.

Verbal communication has always been difficult for her.

"Since it's an order, just follow it." She could only reply coldly.

Monk Hun nodded and said solemnly: "Now, all the Dangxiang people imprisoned in the reform site are like a fire thunder, which can be detonated by a spark. If the Dangxiang people want to riot, they will definitely win over you, so that you can naturally join Li Guangyan . But the party members are wolves after all, so you must be careful."

Bi Hongyu nodded without saying anything, and signaled Monk Hun to put the handcuffs on her hands and feet again, and she was escorted back to the prison area by the guards.

Monk Hun watched her go down the mountain and sighed deeply.

Back in the first prison area, Li Guangyan walked up to her with two fierce-looking party military leaders to stop her.

Bi Hongyu glanced at him quickly, and the two exchanged vague glances.

"You have won the respect of the party warriors with your strength. We are willing to coexist peacefully with you in the future." Li Guangyan said in a deep voice, stroking his chest and lowering his head.

Bi Hongyu indifferently wanted to walk to the side.

A Dangxiang military leader cursed in Dangxiang dialect angrily, but Li Guangyan raised his hand to stop him and ordered them to retreat in a low voice.

When the party leader left, Li Guangyan whispered: "Two days later, the prison area will be rotated. All the prisoners will gather together and use the sound of the eagle as a signal to rush out of the reformatory!"

Bi Hongyu's expression remained cold, her lips moved and she said quickly: "I will notify Monk Hun and let him prepare."

Li Guangyan nodded and looked around. Many party members were watching them.

"After this scene is over, these party members will regard me as a hero and regard me as their master! Li Yiyin and his son abandoned them, and I am the hero who led them out of the siege and returned home!" Li Guangyan said in a low voice.

Bi Hongyu said lightly: "Winning the loyalty of these people is the first step for you to start a business."

Li Guangyan was silent for a moment and sneered: "Zhu Xiu sent me thousands of elite soldiers for nothing. Isn't he afraid that I will go back on my word?"

Bi Hongyu looked at him and said indifferently: "Zhu Xiu never does anything he is not sure of. He can help you rise to the top, and he can also drop you to hell. With your current ability, you are not a threat to him."

After a pause, Bi Hongyu's eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent: "If you threaten him, I will kill you without hesitation!"

Li Guangyan mocked: "You are loyal to him!"

"My life belongs to him." Bi Hongyu said calmly, stepping over him, "I advise you to implement the plan honestly. Zhu Xiu is smarter than you think. If you have second thoughts, you will definitely die ugly. "

Li Guangyan turned around and looked at her walking back, suddenly grinning with an intriguing smile: "She is really a woman as fierce as a wolf."

Two days later, it will be the day for the rotation of the prison areas in the reformatory. All the prisoners will gather together and be divided into prison areas again.

But today's situation is a bit abnormal. Most of the people gathered together are Dangxiang prisoners of war. Most of the other prisoners don't know where they are being held. Only some villains who have been sentenced to decades in prison are mixed with the Dangxiang people.

At noon, a sudden hawk's chirp pierced the tranquility above the reformation field. Party prisoners frantically began to attack other prisoners. Li Guangyan led more than a dozen Party military leaders and began to organize their men to attack the corridors of the prison area.

Bi Hongyu, as a foreign aid warrior respected by party members, also participated.

The piercing sound of gongs sounded, and a large number of garrisoned troops defended on both sides of the mountainside with crossbows. Under the dense arrow net, a large number of party members fell to the ground.

The watchtowers and watchtowers were set on fire, fires broke out everywhere, thick smoke billowed from the mountain col where the reform site was located, alarm bells rang everywhere, and the whole prison area was filled with shouts of killing.

Li Guangyan took the lead with a pickaxe in his hand, and led his men to smash open the gate with all their strength, and led the prisoners to flood towards the exit of the mountainside corridor. As long as they fought their way out, they could break through the defense line of the transformation site.

The battle seemed fierce, but none of the defenders came out in hand-to-hand combat. The party members suffered many casualties, but the defenders of the transformation field were unscathed.

Half an hour later, Li Guangyan led the Dangxiang prisoners of war to rush out of the reformation site and fled across the mountains and plains. They wanted to climb over the ridge and flee to the direction of Gyeongju.

On the hillside, Monk Hun looked at the flames and the messy reconstruction field, grinning in pain.

These damn party members were really merciless when they started, they fled as soon as they ran, and even wanted to set fire to the reformation site.

"Come here, go and inform Pan Bearded, I'm done with the show here, now it's up to him."

Monk Hun limped down the mountain. He wanted to rush to the prison area to organize people to put out the fire and take stock of the damage.
