Chapter 137 Disaster for the country and the people
Just when Pei Xingjian easily broke down the resistance of the residents of Feng'an Square and tied all the men over the age of eighteen and under fifty with ropes and escorted them out of the city, a man covered in filth and emanating
The smelly man came out of a ditch howling. Although his hair was disheveled, he was extremely crazy.
"I asked you to resist, I asked you to disobey, now it's fine, let's all die."
As he spoke, he broke away from the Jinwu Guards and rushed to Old Chen who was at the front of the team. He almost put his head on the head of Old Chen who was already tied up. Jie Jie smiled and said, "I'll go find your daughter in a moment."
, guess what I will do to her?
I will catch her in a moment and send her to death row. However, it is not a female prison, but a male prison, maybe right under your noses, hahaha... Yes, it will be fun for you to see it with your own eyes.
."
Old Chen's eyes widened in anger, he opened his white teeth and bit down hard, but the disheveled Qiu Shenji cleverly dodged away.
Maybe Old Chen used too much force, and several teeth in his mouth were broken. For a moment, his mouth was filled with blood, and his body was tightly tied with ropes. He wanted to chase Qiu Shenji, but he couldn't break away from the team.
The rope inside could only emit wild beast-like howls, which was unbearable to hear.
The butcher who was strung on the rope suddenly burst into tears, and then more people began to cry loudly. The cry was loud. Yun Chu's face was as gloomy as water, and Di Renjie's face was as pale as paper.
Pei Xingjian's face remained as usual, and he slightly curled his lips as he looked at the crazy Qiu Shenji.
The strong man who had been struggling for some reason managed to break free from the rope. He leaped in front of Qiu Shenji and grabbed Qiu Shenji's throat with both hands, trying to strangle him to death.
After all, Qiu Shenji came from the Wuhou family. With just one punch, he knocked down this strong man who only knew how to kill people by grabbing his throat, which caused the onlookers to sigh.
Although the strong man jumped up and rushed towards Qiu Shenji, he was kicked away by Qiu Shenji again. He seemed to enjoy the process of torturing the strong man. Not only did he stop the Jinwu guards from coming to help, he also jumped on him and fell to the ground.
strong man punching and kicking.
The punches hit the flesh, the strong man gritted his teeth without making a sound, and did not protect his hands. He just scratched randomly, as if he wanted to tear off a piece of flesh from Qiu Shenji's body.
Pei Xingjian sighed secretly and turned his head. Revenge also requires the ability to support it.
Old Chen screamed, but could not get closer to Qiu Shenji. Seeing that the strong man's waving movements were getting weaker and weaker, this scene made everyone onlookers sigh.
I don’t know who suddenly shouted: “Kill this dog official!”
As a result, more people began to shout: "Kill this dog official!"
The first shout made Yun Chu's ears still buzzing. He turned his head and found that Di Renjie was watching the fun as if nothing happened, as if the shout had nothing to do with him.
So, while everyone was gnashing their teeth and hating Qiu Shenji, he pulled a short rake with iron teeth that someone had thrown here under his feet, and then gently kicked it out.
This scene naturally fell in Di Renjie's eyes. Under his gaze, the iron-toothed rake rolled in the air and crossed the Jinwu Guard's defense line, and landed just in the hands of the strong man who fell on the ground, still grabbing randomly in the air.
.
At this time, Qiu Shenji realized that he had aroused public anger, and stood up in a hurry. Just as he was about to leave, the iron-toothed rake in the strong man's hand was swung by him, hitting Qiu Shenji's thigh.
Qiu Shenji screamed in pain, raised his leg and kicked the strong man in the eye. One of the strong man's eyes was immediately kicked out. Qiu Shenji also pulled out the rake in his hand and threw it away. Just when Qiu Shenji was about to fight.
When he broke the strong man's neck, the iron-toothed handle he threw away magically fell into the strong man's hand. Then, the strong man, who was blinded in one eye by the kick, swung the rake vigorously again.
"Ah -" Qiu Shenji let out a scream that didn't sound like a human voice, because the rake was nailed right into his crotch. Under the severe pain, he covered his crotch before bending over.
The rake fell on his lap once.
At this time, the strong man was about to lose consciousness, but he still furiously dropped the rake in his hand on Qiu Shenji's legs, buttocks, and crotch where Qiu Shenji had no time to protect him.
By the time the Jinwu guards dragged Qiu Shenji out from under the strong man's rake, Qiu Shenji's lower body seemed to have been soaked in blood.
Old man Chen was vomiting blood and crying at the same time Liu Sanlang's name. No matter how he shouted, Liu Sanlang seemed to be in a daze, still holding up the iron-toothed rake and hitting the ground again and again.
"Why can you kick the rake so accurately?"
Di Renjie admired the fact that Yunchu and Pei Xingjian could kick an iron rake as easily and accurately as they could stones.
"Are many people seeing this scene?"
"just me!"
"Why just you?"
"Because I am the only one who knows that in such a miserable situation, only you and Pei Xingjian will help those poor people."
"Why are you so sure that the two of us will take action?"
"Didn't you already take action? I will practice this skill more in the future. If something like this happens again, we can kick each other."
"Your shout of killing the dog officer was just right. If Qiu Shenji had not aroused public outrage, Pei Xingjian and I might not have kicked that rake."
"I understand, I understand, that's why I shouted."
"According to "Tang Lv Shu Yi", how many of those people do you think will die?"
"According to the legal interpretation, this kind of sudden rebellion involving thousands of people must kill at least ten people, exile twenty or thirty people, and whip more than a hundred people before it can be completed.
The possibility of a light sentence and a heavy sentence is unlikely, because this law was formulated under the leadership of Changsun Wuji himself, so he will definitely uphold the dignity of the law and will not do it just because Qiu Shenji is Qiu Shenji.
Xing Gong's son deliberately sentenced these people to harsh sentences.
At the same time, I also feel sorry for these villagers. They could have closed their gates and confronted the officers and soldiers, making this matter a big deal. If they can support His Majesty's decree, as long as they surrender in accordance with the decree, maybe they can
Get exemption.
When we reach that part, it shows that the people still love His Majesty and are still His Majesty's subjects. They are just against Qiu Shenji because they were forced by Qiu Shenji to have no way out, not against His Majesty.
In this way, without the charge of rebellion, everything is negotiable."
Yun Chu nodded and said: "Yes, yes, if you want to rebel, you must have a strong head and be able to withstand all pressure. If they are persuaded to surrender with just a few words, their fate should be the most miserable."
"You want to rebel?"
"No, I'm just feeling a little emotional."
"Oh, in this case we can still be friends. Let's go to Liquanfang with me tomorrow and see what my achievements are like these days?"
When the gate was closed in the evening, the news that Qiu Shenji's lower body had been stabbed with a rake by the death row prisoner with nearly a hundred holes had spread throughout Chang'an City.
Qiu Xinggong knelt outside the palace gate and confessed his sin of not educating his adopted son. However, it was said that until the palace gate was closed, Qiu Xinggong still failed to enter the palace to see the emperor to plead guilty. Therefore, he could only continue to kneel outside the palace gate and wait.
The arrival of the next dawn.
"Brother, Sister Xiurong has a lot of books at home, and she asked me what book you were reading, and I said I didn't know. Aunt Cui said that my brother was going to take a test, so she found a lot of books and asked me to bring them back.
."
Yunchu looked at the table and saw that there was indeed a thick stack of books on it. When he went over to take a look, he found that they were all about arithmetic.
This was Yunchu's first exposure to ancient arithmetic. As he expected, the arithmetic knowledge in these books was not too profound for him.
Numerators, denominators, square roots, cube roots, and solutions to positive and negative equations are also mixed with some geometric knowledge, such as the classic Pythagorean theorem, and the pi problem left by Zu Chongzhi.
The most difficult thing is about astronomical calculations. Yunchu has never experienced this knowledge before, and it seems that he has to learn it from scratch.
There are certainly babies, fools, and uneducated people in the Imperial College. Apart from these people, the rest have to go through the scientific examination of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.
Therefore, it is still regarded as a gathering place for elite students of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone knows that those babies, fools, and those who are ignorant will not be awarded important official positions in the future. They entered Taixue only because of the kindness of their ancestors.
, finally get an honorary title and receive a salary.
However, the book that Yu Xiurong gave to Yunchu was not a new book, but an old book full of various annotations. Judging from the handwriting, these small regular scripts did not come from the same person, but from dozens of people.
It can be said that with these annotations and records, a slightly smarter person can become self-taught even without the guidance of a wise teacher.
Naha also opened a few books to read the contents. Although she knew it was a dog looking at the stars, Yunchu still lamented a little because she didn't even know many of the words she had already learned.
"When brother finishes studying these books, it will be your turn to study."
When Naha heard what her brother said, her big eyes were suddenly filled with fear. She slowly backed away to the gate with her hands behind her back, then turned around and ran away.
The curious Cui came in and looked at the book Naha had just opened, and sighed: "It is indeed a scholarly family. Even if it has become a poor family, if the family is not cut off, sooner or later there will be outstanding children who will come out to revive the family."
Voice.
So, Mr. Lang, a big family never cares about temporary glory. Prosperity of descendants is the most important thing for a big family."
