The magistrate of Wanping County, Mr. Xie Baoqing, was a man of rules and regulations. He was born as a Juren in the pre-Ming Dynasty and later became the magistrate of Wanping County. After the Manchus entered the customs, a large number of Ming Dynasty officials were retained. Xie Baoqing was among them.
As Hanchen, he had no way out for promotion, so he had to concentrate on squeezing the people of the county. To be honest, Xie Baoqing was not a very evil person. There was no way he could be an official these days without making money.
The capital city has been very uneasy recently. The Ministry of Rites singled out Han people to serve as coat guards. Mr. Fan Jian, who entered the green camp, was struck to death by lightning in a heavy rain. According to Shuntian Prefecture's investigation, it was most likely caused by the rebellion of the rebel party. Counties in the suburbs of Beijing also
A large number of criminal cases have arisen, targeting Banner masters. Many Banner people’s cattle and sheep were killed, their internal organs were removed and transported away overnight (such cases are indeed common in rural areas of our country), and Banner people’s
A child was thrown into a well by bad guys while playing outside and drowned. A banner woman fell into a coma after a good sleep at home. When she woke up, she found that she was half-clothed and covered in redness and swelling, as if she had been insulted by the bad guys. As for her family wealth,
Thefts were quite common, and the case was reported to the Ministry of Punishment, which took it very seriously. It ordered the counties in the suburbs of Beijing to strictly check the immigrants and hunt down suspicious persons. Tiedanzhuang always liked to make friends with people in the world, and Xie Zhixian also knew this.
, since the Ministry of Punishment has a clear document that each county must arrest a few thieves, so Xie Baoqing sent people to Tiedan Village to get the person, regardless of whether he was the real murderer, he should arrest a few first to deal with the Ministry of Punishment.
The leader of the squad, Xie Sihai, was the nephew of the magistrate of Xie County. He had always been quite effective in doing things, and this time was no exception. He came back only half an hour after leaving, and along the way he brought back a few prisoners and handed them over to the county magistrate for interrogation.
Xie Baoqing was admiring several pots of high-priced epiphyllum newly bought in the study. When he saw his nephew bringing several tall men with ropes on their hands, they came in without knocking. He frowned and said, "Sihai, just throw them into the cell."
"Take me to see what I'm doing?" Xie Baoqing asked curiously. Team leader Xie didn't answer, but you could see his face was crying, as if someone owed him two hundred taels of silver.
"Don't move!" The prisoner behind Captain Xie suddenly shook off the rope in his hand like a magic trick, took out a bright dagger, and put it on Xie Zhixian's neck, "Be honest, if you dare to say anything, you will be killed."
!”
The county magistrate Xie trembled. What was going on? The thief entered the county government office in broad daylight and openly threatened a county official with a knife. It was unbelievable to spread the word. His mind was quite quick and he understood it in the blink of an eye.
The person is not good and cannot play hard, so he immediately put on a smile and said: "Is the thief out of money? The county should show its caution, but it is better to put away this deadly thing."
"What a thief, grandpa is the general of the Ming Dynasty's Nanji Office! I'm here to get rid of you, a traitor." The big man passed the dagger in his hand half an inch forward, and had already scratched the oily skin on Xie Zhixian's neck.
He was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees: "Spare your life, hero, I am not a traitor, I was forced to do so."
At this time, the county government had been fully controlled by the heroes of the Tiandihui. Liu Ziguang came to the house where Xie Zhixian was located and sat directly on the Taishi chair. Under the threat of the heroes' swords, Xie Zhixian and Xie Bantou both knelt down obediently.
On the ground, listen to Liu Ziguang's instructions.
"Xie Baoqing, right? You have been the magistrate of Wanping County under the pseudo-Qing Dynasty for some years. You have done a lot of harm to the people over the years. The people of Wanping hate you deeply. If you don't kill you, the people will not be angry!" Liu Ziguang said with a strong voice.
"It's unfair, my lord. I'm in a humble position...ah no, I'm in Cao Ying but my heart is in Han Dynasty. The heroes of Tiedan Village often gather together, but I always turn a blind eye to the labor tax sent by the superiors."
"Yin, I try my best to help the common people get tax exemptions. I only sit in this position for us Han people." Xie Baoqing cried with tears. What he said was considered to be the truth. As the magistrate of Wanping County, Xie Baoqing adheres to the
His purpose is not to seek merit, but to seek no faults. He pretended not to see the chaos when the rebels gathered within the territory, and when the imperial court solicited civilians and money, he only shouted and did not do anything. He knew very well that he should not stand out and make a fortune in silence.
That's the king's way. He can't afford to offend the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, nor can he afford to offend the good men who come and go among the people. There haven't been any serious crimes in the past few years. Liu Ziguang said he wanted to kill him. How could the angry common people not let him cry out that they were wronged?
Woolen cloth.
"Sir, Xie Zhixian has indeed done some good things for the local area. Without his protection, our Tiedan Village would have been wiped out by the Manchus long ago." The speaker was Dai Zhongying, and now he and Liu Ziguang were both making a fool of themselves.
One person sings the red face, and sings and sings in harmony to deceive Xie Baoqing into dizzying.
Xie Baoqing was indeed fainted. How come all the officers from Nanming came to the suburban counties of Beijing? Could it be that the cases mentioned by the Ministry of Punishment were all done by spies from Nanming? This will cost you your life. They are in the dark, and you are in the open. The county
The yamen are no safer than those in the capital. Nowadays, the knife is placed on the neck. Is this old fate going to be revealed today?
Hearing Dai Zhongying speak for him, Xie Baoqing's head suddenly nodded like a kowtow: "Yes, yes, it's better that the owner of the village knows me." After saying that, he turned around and walked to Dai Zhongying on his knees to save one of his legs.
He begged: "On behalf of the owner of the village, considering the fact that we have known each other for many years, please please spare my life."
Dai Zhongying said in his heart that you have squeezed me a lot of money over the years of our friendship, but he placated him kindly: "Xie Zhixian, our Nanchang Yamen in the Ming Dynasty is not as careless about human life as the Manchu Military Aircraft Department. Who is guilty and who has merit,
I remember it clearly in your notebook."
"Yes, Xie Baoqing, we all know everything you say and do over the years." Liu Ziguang took out a notebook and said to Xie Baoqing: "Every time you do something bad, I will put a cross behind your name.
, I will come to take your life when Chacha accumulates to a certain level." As he spoke, he pretended to flip through the popular novel he got from the Dai family: "Well, Xie Baoqing, you have been a lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for ten years, and you have done bad things.
I did a lot of it."
"Sir, I... I will definitely do more good deeds in the future. Please give me another chance." Xie Baoqing wailed with tears in her eyes.
Liu Ziguang stood up, walked two steps into Xie Baoqing's study, and said with high spirits: "Okay, then I will give you another chance to be a new person. Nowadays, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is like a grasshopper after autumn. It can't jump around for a few days."
, there are our people everywhere around the city of Beijing, and we even have our spies inside the palace. Xuan Ye's son has pooped several times today, and we all know the color of the poop. The imperial court has sent
Lord Zhenwu is inspecting Shandong, organizing and training the army, and Wang Shibei is just around the corner. As a lackey of the Qing court, you have committed a heinous crime, but in line with the principle of treating illnesses and saving people, I give you this opportunity to atone for your sins and cooperate with my Nanchang fans.
Action, provide intelligence and corresponding support. Every time you do a good thing, I will remove one of the Chachagou in your notebook. If you do a lot of good things and make great achievements, you will not be able to regain Beijing. After the Wanping County Magistrate
It’s up to you to do it.”
Liu Ziguang's words of intimidation and inducement caused an uproar in Xie Baoqing's heart. The young man dressed in Ming Dynasty in front of him must have a high official rank. All the generals and generals are his subordinates. What he said may be believed. The current rule of the Qing Dynasty
It was indeed a precarious situation. The Empress Dowager issued several decrees in succession to ease the conflict between the Manchus and the Han. In the past, those Manchu officials who had their nostrils turned upward did not even look at themselves when they came to inspect. Recently, they have become much kinder. This shows that the Manchus have indeed felt this.
Nanming's military pressure is strong, and Nanming's military strength is constantly strengthening. I heard that the war in Taiwan has been a great success, and the local governors have also been more respectful to the Nanjing regime. After solving these troubles, they will definitely launch the Northern Expedition and regain
In the old place of the capital, Wanping is the southern gate of Beijing and the location of the Fengtai camp. A bloody battle is inevitable. Now is the best opportunity to take sides. If you can make the right bet, your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life can still be guaranteed.
If the bet is wrong...is there any choice now? The knife is pressed to the neck, so no matter what, I can only agree to these requests first.
"Xie has been looking forward to serving the court for a long time, but he just has no way to serve the country. Now a few adults have guided me to a bright road. I am willing to die. Just ask me to do anything you want me to do.
The pot all depends on one sentence." Xie Baoqing is a scholar, and he doesn't know where he learned this set of Jianghu dialect, but when he said it, it was very catchy, and it seemed like that.
"Didn't you just say that? You are still your magistrate. Any information will be sent to Tiedan Village in a timely manner. Remember, your every move is under our surveillance. Your wife, children, father and mother,
Even the life of the dog named Wangcai at home is in our hands. You know exactly what to do. There is a surrender letter here. Please sign it first." After speaking, Liu Ziguang took out a pre-written letter of guarantee.
Come.
Xie Baoqing dared to take a closer look. He tremblingly signed his name and pressed his fingerprints. Liu Ziguang put away the guarantee letter and walked away with a group of his men, leaving Xie Baoqing's uncle and nephew who were still trembling.
"Uncle, do you want to inform Fengtai Daying to clear out Tiedan Village?" Xie Sihai climbed to the door and looked at the serious ones walking away, then asked Xie Magistrate in a low voice.
"Notice!" Xie Baoqing's big mouth immediately lashed out, "If you don't want your life, I want my life!"
