Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 141 Kill it!

The courtyard is deep and the frogs are croaking in the pond,
  Wang Qi sat quietly behind the desk, still not recovering from the shock.

Wang Qi had some psychological preparation for the matter of one shot entering the soul, and had also done some psychological construction.

But that's how it is. Every time something happens, you realize it's so unprepared and confusing.

After a long while, Wang Qi exhaled heavily: No matter what, this is his first flesh and blood in this life, and in a sense, his bloodline is closely connected to him, so he needs to pay attention to it!
  With this in mind, Wang Qi looked at the table, where a letter of paper had been spread out. After thinking for a moment, he needed to arrange it in advance before he started writing.

A letter was written to Wang Huazhen, the uncle of the governor of Shandong, asking him to select more than a hundred slaves from the clan, half of them were maids and servants, and go to Horqin to take care of Hailanzhu's daily life. Whether it is needed or not, this is what it should be. Those maids Servants who are willing to go to Horqin will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, and will be given a monthly payment of ten taels of silver. The children of the family can enter the clan to study, and when they grow up, they can start the family business.

In fact, speaking of it, the natal family and Wang Qi are not from the same ancestry. With Duke Lang as the respected one, Wang Qi will definitely become the main clan in the future and rebuild the ancestral hall. To take a step back, now Wang Qi has said that he wants to recognize half of his natal family. Who would say no to the previous one?
  The second letter Wang Qi wrote to the King of Horqin mainly asked him to take good care of his women. Within three months, Wang Qi would definitely go to the grassland again to take Hailanzhu back to the Central Plains.

As for the third letter, it was naturally written to Hai Lanzhu himself. Wang Qi had not written to the woman for a long time. He was so emotional that he forgot to write. After all, it was just a brush of friendship. He mainly ordered her to take good care of her in the voice of the head of the family. It won't take long for him to bring him back.

"Here comes!" After a long while, Wang Qi sealed the letter and then summoned his bodyguard: "I will send someone out tonight, back to Ningyuan City, to Qin Erbao."

"As ordered!"

After the guards left, Wang Qi sat silently in the study, folding his hands and wrapping his thumbs: taking Hai Lanzhu back would inevitably cause shock in the court and anger in the royal family.
  call! ! !
  Not long after, Wang Qi's eyes became firm again, and he worked hard step by step to get to where he is now. Wang Qi did it so that he would not be constrained by others, so that he could control his own destiny, and he could temporarily tolerate it for himself. But when it comes to my family, wives and daughters, I can't give in even a step. Whether it is the court or the emperor, when the time comes, it is time to test one's power and achievements!

At this moment, Wang Shouxin's footsteps hurriedly came outside the door.

"Sir, something happened!" Wang Shouxin's voice was a little nervous.

"What's going on?" Wang Qi turned to look at the door.

"A large number of refugees made trouble and rushed into the Bingbei Daofu government office. They besieged Mr. He and the commander-in-chief Shi Shi'en in the backyard woodshed and could not come out. The envoy also hid in the back office hall and could not escape for a while! "

refugee?

Wang Qi raised his eyebrows: "Take two people and come with me to have a look."

"Sir, only two people are with you?" Wang Shouxin looked panicked. Thousands of refugees gathered around the government office. Even if he brought all the more than a hundred personal guards with him, Wang Shouxin was afraid that he would not be able to protect Wang Qi's safety.

Moreover, most of Shanhaiguan's troops were not in the city, and seven of them went to Ningyuan City to participate in the battle against Houjin.
  "It doesn't matter. The refugees are also common people under the Ming Dynasty, not Jurchens. They just want a way to survive." Wang Qi stood up and walked out the door in a casual robe. Behind him, Wang Shouxin touched the long knife on his waist and hurriedly followed. Go.

When it comes to kung fu, Wang Shouxin is no worse than Qin Erbao, but when it comes to making decisions before the formation, this requires continuous learning and accumulation.

Moreover, Qin Erbao is now one of the top general-level figures in the entire Liaodong Army. He cannot always serve as a guard for Wang Qi and let him take charge of his own affairs and have a better future.

Not long after, Wang Qi came to the door where he was surrounded, led by the servants of Mr. He's mansion and the guards of He's mansion.

At this time, a red-faced Khan in a coarse blue coat was standing on a high place among the crowd. He raised his right hand and shouted loudly to the refugees. Behind him were three or four of his accomplices: "Folks, don't be afraid. The bigger the fuss, the more afraid those officials will be. The more harvest I will wait for! The more food will be available! Folks, don’t back down. Follow me and rush into the government office later and kill the dog official. When the time comes, The imperial court issued an edict and gave us a county magistrate! Kill officials to seize food and do justice for heaven!"

"Killing officials to seize food and do justice for heaven!"

"Do it for the sky!"

Most of the people didn't know what he was doing for the sky. They only heard what the man said about food. If you have food, you will have a way to live. You don't have to sell your children or slaves, and you can see the sun tomorrow. As for what happens next, how can you have the energy and energy to think about it?
  Almost all the refugees in ragged clothes were surrounded and rushed towards the government office.

Obviously, these people are all refugees from Liaodong!

Because of the Jin Dynasty's southern invasion, millions of people from Liaodong crossed Shanhaiguan with their families and entered the customs southward. However, in recent days, as the situation in Liaodong has gradually improved, many people have begun to return to Liaodong, but there are still more people. They became refugees and wandered in Gyeonggi, Shanhaiguan, and Jiaodong, becoming a potential risk factor.

The servant and several soldiers almost used all their strength to push the refugees while clearing the way for Wang Qi.

"Duke Lang is here!"

As the roll call started, the crowd of people watching and the victims who were making trouble also stopped one after another.

"Duke Lang is here? Is he the Commander-in-Chief?"

"General Soldier of Liaodong?"

"Silence! It's the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty."

For almost a few breaths, the eyes of everyone present were focused on Wang Qi.

Few people have seen the Ming Dynasty Wuqu, but everyone has heard of Wang Qi's name and even knows about Wang Qi's achievements.

It is a fact that there are countless shrines in Gyeonggi.

"Master?" The man in blue coat naturally saw Wang Qi, but his expression seemed to become more and more arrogant and fearless:

"That's just right. Your Duke is here today to comment. Thanks to your Ming Dynasty, the chaos in Liaodong has just stopped, but we and other people have not seen a way to survive. Countless people are starving to death on the road. , sell their sons and daughters, and even exchange their children for food! But what about here? There are mountains of food in the granaries here! Why don't they help the victims? Why don't they stabilize the price of food? Why can this dog official eat more than a hundred bowls per meal and not eat every meal? The same thing? Should such a dog officer be killed?"

The man laughed ferociously and looked at Wang Qi: "Master Guo! You, please comment on this today!"

The people around him automatically gave way to a passage. Wang Qi and three guards slowly stepped forward. He first looked at the refugees around him, then looked at He Tianyou, who had been beaten all over, and said with a smile: "If it's like you said, It really deserves to be killed.”

"Hey, then" the red-faced man answered immediately.

"However, killing him is a matter for the imperial court. If he dies today, no one else will be blamed! I will kill you today!" Wang Qi opened his mouth, blocked the man's words, then stared at him and asked, "What are you doing?" People from Liaodong?"

The man was forced by Wang Qi's momentum and said almost subconsciously: "A certain person is from Fushun, Liaodong."

"Escaped from Fushun all the way to Shenyang, from Shenyang to Liaoyang, then to Haizhou, crossed the Liaohe River, to Guangning, crossed the Xiaoling River and Ningyuan City, and finally escaped from Shanhaiguan and became a refugee in the customs. It seems like this I was almost chased all the way by Hou Jin. Thank you for your hard work." Wang Qi looked sarcastic and did not give him a chance to argue. He continued: "Many people from the imperial court died in Liaodong, hundreds of thousands of soldiers. His bones were buried in a foreign land, he died on the battlefield, and his body was wrapped in horse leather."

"I'm not a soldier of the imperial court! Why bother..." The big man was agitated and didn't want to argue with him anymore. He waved his hand directly and wanted to continue to encourage the people to grab food.

"The war in Liaodong has not stopped yet. Why don't you just wait to serve the country? You are still gathering people to make trouble, robbing food and killing officials." Wang Qi's expectation suddenly turned cold and shouted: "Wang Shouxin!"

"The end is here!"

"Cut it down!" "What? You dare not cause trouble, you just want to help the people." The red-faced man wanted to struggle, but Wang Shouxin's sword was too fast.

Whisper!
  In front of everyone's eyes, a white light flashed, and almost no one reacted.

With a thud, the big head rolled to the ground.

Gululu, with blood stains on it, rolled all the way to the yamen gate and rolled to the feet of the troubled people.

The scene was completely silent. No one expected that Wang Qi could chop off the man's head in front of everyone.

"My lord, you are one step too late, and the general will be beaten to death by them!" He Tianyou finally came to his senses at this moment. Not a single scratch on his body was left intact, and he groaned as he stood up.

"The civil commotion in the area has caused instability among the people, and the soldiers have failed in their duties. We will also kill him!" Wang Qi turned around and looked at He Tianyou: "You can go too!"

"Huh?" He Tianyou almost reacted in an instant, but when he saw Wang Shouxin coming over with a knife, he immediately said, "Sir, spare my life!"

Poof! ! !

Blood sprayed all over the ground, and the bloody smell immediately infected the surroundings.

The entire scene fell into dead silence for an instant.

No one dared to step forward, no one dared to speak for the dead.

No one dared to look directly into Wang Qi's eyes anymore.

A few seconds later, a rioter who took the lead in making trouble died, and an official who was the culprit died.

Everyone saw that Wang Qi's methods were too harsh.

However, this is also the fastest way, the fastest way to calm things down.

"Bring Shi Shi'en here," Wang Qi wiped his hands with a brocade handkerchief and asked someone to bring another person in charge of Shanhaiguan.

Not long after, Shi Shien, who was like a puddle of mud, was dragged over by Wang Qi's personal guards.

"Master, you are so unfair!" Shi Shien was almost frightened out of his wits. When he saw the headless corpse beside him, he almost fainted.

"I'll give you one day to open the warehouse and stock the grain, and at the same time cancel the customs clearance procedures and checkpoints, so that people who want to return to Liaodong can go back to Liaodong as soon as possible and don't stay here." Wang Qi pointed at He Tianyou's body beside him: "If it happens again This is the outcome of a civil uprising!"

"Xiaguan. Xiaguan knows! Xiaguan understands! Do it immediately, do it now!" When Shi Shien heard that Wang Qi was not going to kill him, he immediately kowtowed and thanked him. Then he got up and took several of his guards with him. Rolling and crawling towards the granary.

"Common people! Colleagues, brothers!" Wang Qi walked up to a high place, looked at the people surrounded by darkness, and said loudly: "Wang is here to apologize! Although the situation in Liaodong is a little calm, but you guys The common people, however, are still starving outside and have left their homes. The court failed to provide relief to the victims in time, the local officials failed to open granaries in time to provide food, and the village chiefs failed to provide relief. These are all inappropriate. Wang hereby expresses his condolences to the victims. All my fellow villagers promise that after returning to the court, they will report this matter to the Emperor and the Prime Minister and give you an explanation."

The murderous commander-in-chief of Liaodong.

The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty, which is honored as the Duke of the country.

A relative of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the future prince-in-law.

He actually bowed before a group of ragged civilians, and it seemed that he would take responsibility to the end.
  This act directly moved the originally angry people around to tears.

One by one, they knelt on the ground and shouted, "Master Qingtian, Ming Wu Qu".

The common people have always been blind. They listen to whoever has a louder voice, no matter what is right or wrong, or in other words, they cannot tell right from wrong at all.

What Wang Qi did tonight, he didn't want to distinguish who was right and who was wrong. He could only cut through the mess quickly and kill the two leaders, so that the rest of the mob could talk easily.

but
  Looking at the people around him, Wang Qi felt that he might really be able to do something when he returned to Beijing this time.

After all, the external worries have been temporarily resolved, but the internal civil strife has not yet begun.

In the final analysis, the peasant army, which is constantly rising and falling, is the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

It took about an hour to evacuate the refugees who were on the verge of rioting in the pass by Wang Qi. During this gap, the officers and soldiers from outside the city had also arrived. At least in the near future, there would be no more refugees causing trouble.

"Sir, the princes and lords are here to pay their respects!" As soon as Wang Qi returned to the courtyard, Wang Tiqian came to pay his respects.

There was chaos just now, and Wang Tiqian was blocked in the hall. Fortunately, there were more than a hundred guards protecting him, so nothing happened. However, this incident also frightened the prince!

"Thank you so much, Mr. Guo! If you hadn't taken action in time, if you had allowed the rebels to gain momentum, our family's fate would have been decided here tonight!" Wang Tiqian patted his chest gently with his hand, his expression on his face. Still pale.

"My father-in-law, please sit down. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat much at tonight's dinner. I asked someone to cook porridge. Would you like a bowl of it, father-in-law?" Wang Qi sat there and stretched out his hand to invite Wang Tiqian to sit down.

"Our family can't eat any more. It's good if we can sleep tonight." Wang Tiqian waved his hands, laughed dryly, and rejected Wang Qi's kindness. Then he leaned back and said, "It's just that our family has some food." I have a question, I hope Mr. Guo can clear it up."

"Please speak," Wang Qi nodded gently.

"Why do we need to let He Tianyou die?" Wang Tiqian looked at Wang Qi, as if he was afraid that Wang Qi would misunderstand, and quickly explained: "Our family just thinks that after all, he is a fourth-grade official, so we will be beheaded like this. Our family wants to confront the adults. A pair of calibers, you can go back and recover, right?"

"As a deputy inspector, the refugees under my jurisdiction are in chaos and are almost in danger of rebellion. Shanhaiguan is an important border area in Liaodong. In order to calm the people's hearts, I killed them as a warning to others. This reason should be enough, right?" Wang Qi had already asked. I had a small bowl of meat porridge and drank it deliciously.

"Uh," Wang Tiqian hesitated.

"Donglin Party member?" Wang Qi put down the porridge bowl, a little confused.

"He is a veteran of Donglin and a student of Gao Panlong."

"Then let's die."
