This sudden change only made a group of county school students dumbfounded. What did they see?
The heads of Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan flew high into the sky. Their headless bodies stood there, a stream of blood spurting out, and there was only a blood-red color in front of them.
The county scholars who had not yet reacted were burying their heads in the crowd and shouting: "I kidnapped Li Huan and went to see the officials. We must give an explanation..."
But the bloody scene in the next moment made these county school students open their eyes wide and close their mouths, as if each of them had their acupuncture points pressed and froze there.
Xie Qian, Xie Di and the few scholars who were lucky enough to escape from the pile of dead people on the side all had expressions of expression when they saw this scene.
They had experienced such a scene before. When they saw Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and others blocking Li Huan on the long street, they secretly guessed how Li Huan would deal with these people.
But I didn't expect that Li Huan didn't pay attention to these people at all, and just ran into them with his horse.
In the view of Xie Qian and others, Li Huan had already opened his eyes to Song Guangsheng and others. Otherwise, with Li Huan's temperament, it would be strange if he didn't kill most of the soldiers who were blocking the way.
Originally, if these people just dispersed, they would have escaped disaster. However, who would have thought that these people were so ill-informed that they didn't even have the news that Li Huan killed so many scholars in Muzhai Academy. I got it and bumped into it.
He actually naively wanted to bring a crowd to threaten Li Huan, and even wanted to kidnap Li Huan and go to the official.
If Li Huan really did what they did, wouldn't all the scholars who were slaughtered by Li Huan have died in vain?
Seeing Song Guangsheng shouting that he was going to kidnap Li Huan, Xie Qian and others guessed what would happen to these people.
As expected, Li Huan did not disappoint them. He did not tolerate these people at all. He raised his knife and chopped off the heads of Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan very cleanly.
Xie Qian, Xie Di and the few surviving scholars didn't know what they were thinking, but they didn't even speak to remind Song Guangsheng, Xie Di and the others.
However, looking at the postures of Song Guangsheng and others, I am afraid that even if Xie Qian opens his mouth, he may not be able to stop him.
Of course, the dark psychology of Xie Qian and others cannot be ruled out. They are already so miserable, why can't others be as miserable as them?
Or Xie Qian, Xie Di thought in his mind, as long as Li Huan dared to go on a killing spree, the more people he killed, the worse Li Huan's reputation would be, and the more he would be hated by the literati in the world.
When the literati's hatred towards Li Huan reaches a certain level, it will explode. At that time, Li Huan's end will definitely be very miserable.
Even Xie Di, whose eyes were full of deathly silence, laughed wildly at this moment and said: "Kill them, kill them all!"
Ren Zheng, who had been following Song Guangsheng, had previously carried the body of his friend Sun Qiping, and his heart was filled with hatred for Li Huan.
Especially after Li Huan revealed their thoughts, the officials asked themselves that the fundamental purpose of their studies was really not to govern the country and serve the king, but to think about how to take advantage of the various preferential treatment given by the imperial court to these scholars. Their family seeks greater interests.
As long as they raise people from high schools, they don't have to pay taxes and can accept contributions from the people, even if they know that this will inevitably result in the court collecting a lot less taxes.
But what does this have to do with them? If the country's tax revenue is low, it is a matter for the court and the emperor to consider. As long as they have enough benefits, it is enough.
No one has ever exposed the darkest and most selfish side of their hearts in front of them, and they, as scholars, want to have face.
Li Huan directly stabbed their hearts with a knife, pointing it in their faces and scolding them that they were all cystic worms lying on Daming's body to suck blood.
So Ren Zheng followed Song Guangsheng and rushed to the front. The hatred in his eyes could not be more obvious. He wanted to rush forward and strangle Li Huan to death.
A traitor like Li Huan would be better off dead.
It's just that Ren Zheng felt that his eyes were blurred, and blood rushed to his face.
The hot, salty blood poured over his head and face. Ren Zheng subconsciously wiped it on his face, and when he looked down, he let out a scream.
"Blood!"
Especially when he glanced at it, Song Guangsheng, who was right in front of him, had no head. The headless body was spurting out blood, and it was just standing in front of him.
Such a terrifying scene came into view, and Ren Zheng's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were full of horror.
My legs trembled, and my crotch felt warm. In the blink of an eye, the ground was wet. I was so scared that I peed my pants.
Beside Ren Zheng was Lei Ming, who had previously been fearful.
Lei Ming originally doubted the words of those scholars who escaped from Muzhai Academy. According to his temperament, he definitely did not want to take the risk of causing Li Huan trouble.
However, Song Guangsheng's scolding and the strange looks from his classmates made Lei Ming muster up the courage to follow him, and in order to prove that he was really not afraid, he deliberately walked in front.
Lei Ming also saw the scene where Song Guangsheng's head was beheaded. His head buzzed and exploded, and his eyes turned bright red.
In the midst of the lake, Lei Ming felt something fell into his arms. Lei Ming subconsciously held the thing in his arms and wiped it instinctively.
"Why does this look so much like a human head..."
Feeling the touch from his hands, nose, mouth, ears and the fluffy hair, Lei Ming looked at the headless corpse in front of him, feeling infinite fear in his heart and subconsciously looked down.
At first glance, he saw a bloody head in his arms. If it wasn't Song Guangsheng's head, what could it be?
Moreover, Song Guangsheng's head was facing him at this time, his eyes were wide open, and there was still a bit of disbelief. It was obvious that at the moment when Song Guangsheng's head was chopped off, Song Guangsheng did not believe that Li Huan would attack him.
At one glance, he came face to face with Song Guangsheng's bloody head, which was still staring at death. Lei Ming was so frightened that he trembled and threw Song Guangsheng's head out almost as a reflex, letting out a shrill scream.
Song Guangsheng's head was thrown out by the thunder and flew several feet away. After landing, it rolled a few times and stopped on the ground.
The people around were originally looking at Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and others, leading a group of county school students, walking towards Li Huan with high spirits and momentum, shouting that Li Huan should be tied up and presented to the official.
There were even some good-hearted people in the crowd, cheering for Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and the others.
However, the next moment, all the people were stunned. Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan's heads were cut off like that. That scene was really exciting.
The faces full of astonishment and fear were frozen in place. They just looked at Li Huan, who was wearing a brocade and flying fish suit, as if he couldn't believe that such a noble young man could kill people when he said it.
Cut off other people's heads.
When Song Guangsheng's head was thrown out by thunder and rolled in front of these people who were hiding not far away to watch the excitement, especially when Song Guangsheng's deadpan face stared at them, he finally felt timid.
The people were so frightened that they screamed and ran away.
In the blink of an eye, these people dispersed like birds and beasts. The originally dark area was completely covered in a dozen breaths, leaving only a mess on the ground.
Shoes, hats and even clothes, and a few unlucky guys who were stepped on the ground were struggling to crawl towards the corner despite the severe pain in their bodies.
All of this happens within a dozen breaths.
When Li Huan put away the knife, the Xiuchun knife, still stained with blood, was thrown to Chen Yao by Li Huan.
Chen Yao took the blood-stained embroidered spring knife, glanced at the trembling and bewildered county school students with a ferocious expression, and then said to Li Huan: "Sir, how should we deal with these people."
The surrounding Jinyi guards all stared at these scholars like quails, and some were even so frightened that they squatted on the ground and cried, calling their father and mother.
Li Huan's eyes swept over these students. Under Li Huan's gaze, these students finally collapsed.
The looks from the Jinyi guards around him were scary enough, but nothing was as scary as Li Huan's indifferent look.
You must know that Li Huan chopped off the heads of Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and others without blinking an eye. At this moment, in the minds of many students, Li Huan's reputation as a murderous maniac was firmly established.
With a pop, Lei Ming was closest to Li Huan. Noticing the murderous intent in Li Huan's eyes, Lei Ming knelt down directly, regardless of the pain in his knees, and then kowtowed to Li Huan and said: "Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me.
The students are forced, they are all forcing the students to come, wu wu wu, the students don’t want to come..."
When Li Huan saw this, he couldn't help but glance at Lei Ming, his eyes full of disgust. Such a weakling with no independent opinion is the most hateful thing.
We must know that many times, the real bad things are those people who have no independent opinions. They often take whatever others say and say hello to others when they need something. These people do not think about right or wrong, do not distinguish between right and wrong, and just follow what others say.
It can be said that this type of people are the most numerous in the world, and they are also the most pitiful and hateful group of people.
Ren Zheng was so frightened that he peed his pants, and now he collapsed on the ground. Next to him was the body of his best friend Sun Qiping. He just sat on the ground stupidly, muttering something in his mouth, and it looked like
It was as if he was scared out of his wits.
Seeing Lei Ming's reaction, almost most of the students hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, shouting that they were also forced.
Li Huan looked at the reactions of these people with a somewhat mocking look on his lips.
Finally, he sighed: "My Ming Dynasty has raised a group of loyal people like you for hundreds of years? What is the use of keeping you?"
As he spoke, Li Huan's eyes were cold, as if a voice from the Nine Nether Hell sounded: "Kill!"
The embroidered spring swords had already been pressed, and the anxious guards in Jinyi immediately showed ferocious looks on their faces when they heard this.
They are the best at killing people, especially those soldiers who usually have their eyes higher than their heads and look askance at them. The Jinyi Guards couldn't be more excited as they went up and down.
The reputation of the Jinyiwei was given by these people. Over the past hundred years, they have become synonymous with hawks and lackeys who do all kinds of evil. Everyone mentions the Jinyiwei, from the powerful to the common people, and almost no one has a good word to say.
But they were just running errands for the emperor, and they only arrested high-ranking officials and corrupt officials, and they never harmed the people.
It is understandable that corrupt officials scold them, but the common people who have never suffered any harm scold them the most harshly. It is not thanks to these scholars, but to who else.
Therefore, everyone in Jinyiwei dislikes these scholars the most.
Chen Yao shouted: "Kill with me!"
I saw a well-known Jin Yiwei with a strong body and brandishing a knife towards these students who had come to cause trouble for them not long ago.
Ren Zheng, who was sitting next to Sun Qiping's body, dumbfounded and crazy, jumped up from the ground when he heard Li Huan's murderous words, and then ran away at an alarming speed. His reaction
The speed and agility were simply beyond everyone's expectations. Even Ren Zheng's classmates were stunned for a moment when they saw Ren Zheng, who was the first to escape.
When they saw Ren Zheng's appearance earlier, they thought that Ren Zheng was frightened and went crazy, but they didn't expect that the other party was actually pretending and reacted so quickly. If you fucking run away, what should we do?
"Run away!"
Someone yelled, turned around and ran away.
The Jin Yiwei looked at these students ferociously. Some were running very fast, while others were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, rolling and crawling in begging.
It's a pity that Jin Yiwei has seen too many scenes of begging for mercy. Every time a house is raided, there are not many people from powerful families begging for mercy.
He raised the knife and dropped it, and heads fell to the ground one after another.
Ren Zheng, who was running at the front, became more and more nervous when he heard the screams coming from behind. At this moment, Ren Zheng only hated that his legs were running too slowly.
Chen Yao's eyes naturally fell on Ren Zheng. In fact, Ren Zheng was at the forefront before, and after Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan were killed, he seemed to have gone crazy.
Seeing Ren Zheng running so fast, Chen Yao showed a somewhat disdainful sneer on his lips. If Ren Zheng was allowed to escape like this, wouldn't all the Jin Yiwei become useless?
Chen Yao jumped up and caught up with Ren Zheng after a few ups and downs.
When Ren Zhengzheng was secretly glad that he was running fast enough, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked sideways and saw Chen Yaozheng smiling at him.
The next moment Ren Zheng saw a beam of sword falling towards him.
"Spare my life..."
It's a pity that before Ren Zheng finished speaking, his head was chopped off by Chen Yao.
Soon Chen Yao and other Jin Yiwei rushed back. Within a radius of tens of feet, dozens of corpses fell to the ground, and blood sprayed everywhere.
There was a bloody scene in front of the Xie Family Mansion.
When the people who were hiding in the dark and watching secretly saw the scenes of those students being chased, they were so frightened that they retracted their heads, fearing that they would be spotted and killed by the Jin Yiwei.
"My lord, no one escaped."
Li Huan nodded slightly.
In the Xie Mansion, after Xie Zhong was killed, all the direct descendants of the Xie family, headed by Xie Ming, hid in the mansion one by one and did not dare to step out of the mansion, for fear of following in the footsteps of Xie Zhong.
When Li Huan took Xie Qian, Xie Di and others to the Xie Mansion, Xie Ming and others saw Xie Qian and others immediately.
It's a pity that looking at Xie Qian and Xie Di outside the mansion, and then looking at Xie Zhong's body, no one dared to step out of the mansion to see Xie Qian.
When Xie Ming had the courage to speak out, his attention was attracted by Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and a group of scholars.
Xie Ming was naturally no stranger to Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and others. After all, as a county magistrate, even the Xie family had children studying in the county school.
I thought that the arrival of Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and others would bring a glimmer of hope to the Xie family. However, when everyone in the Xie family just watched Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and others being massacred by Li Huan's order, everyone in the Xie family
Endless despair and chill arose in my heart.
Some people were even so frightened that they fell to the ground and burst into tears.
They had heard the previous conversation between Li Huan and Xie Qian. The Xie family was guilty of treason, which was a major crime that wanted to destroy the nine clans.
Li Huan dared to kill even so many scholars, let alone people like them.
The sound of howling coming from Xie's mansion attracted everyone's attention.
Li Huan looked at the reactions of the relatives of the Xie family in the Xie family, with a slight smile on his lips, and looked at Xie Qian and said: "Master Xie, seeing this scene, I wonder what you feel in your heart?"
Xie Qian's ears were filled with the sound of his children's wailing, and his heart was irritated. After hearing Li Huan's mocking words, he couldn't help but sneered at Li Huan and said, "I only regret not being able to kill that faint king.
Except for traitors like you."
Xie Di, who was on the side, couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Brother..."
Xie Qian glared at Xie Di and said, "It's a capital crime anyway, so what else can't be said?"
As he spoke, Xie Qian stared at Li Huan and said: "I just regret that I didn't expect that Li Huan, a traitor like you, could receive the news so quickly and break into the palace to save the emperor. Otherwise, I would definitely let people get the result sooner."
Take the emperor’s life.”
Just as Xie Qian said, the emperor was in coma for so long. Even Zhang Yong who served the emperor, Chen Jiu, the director of the imperial hospital, and others had colluded with Xie Qian. If Xie Qian didn't want to wait for the emperor himself,
If he dies, he will have a chance to kill the emperor.
Originally everything was as expected by Xie Qian, but unfortunately Xie Qian did not expect that Li Huan was like a descendant from the sky. He did not give them a chance to react and went straight into the imperial city to save the emperor.
Li Huan glanced at Xie Qian and said, "God sees that you have done too many evil things, so I won't let you get what you want. Your majesty, the auspicious person and heavenly minister, will liquidate your Xie family today."
Xie Qian laughed loudly, ignored Li Huan, and shouted angrily at Xie Ming and other Xie family children: "Why cry, isn't it just death..."
Li Huan glanced at the huge Xie Mansion, a cold look flashed in his eyes and said: "Let the brothers ransack the house!"
Immediately, a guard in royal robes rushed into the Xie Mansion, and there was a sudden commotion in the Xie Mansion. There were escaping servants and the Xie family's personal papers everywhere.
"Everyone fought with them!"
I don't know who shouted out, but several of the Xie family's disciples, knowing that they were bound to die, had the courage to pounce on the Jin Yiwei who were ransacking their homes and seizing people.
It's a pity that these people had no resistance at all in front of the Jin Yiwei, and were stabbed to death on the spot before they could even get close.
The Xie family is so large, there are probably dozens or hundreds of people, including at least twenty or thirty men, but there are only a few people who really have the courage to dare to fight to the death.
Looking at the nephews killed by the Jin Yiwei, Xie Qian laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, you are worthy of being a descendant of my Xie family."
Looking at this scene, Chen Yao whispered: "Sir, this Xie Qian is probably crazy! He really is not afraid of death at all."
Li Huan said calmly: "He is not crazy, he is deliberately trying to show us what to do. If he was really not afraid of death, he would have committed suicide long ago like Fei Hong."
Chen Yao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He glanced at Xie Qian, who looked like he was crazy, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.
Yes, it is true that they arrested Xie Qian, but if Xie Qian really wanted to commit suicide, there were many ways, but Xie Qian had no intention of seeking death at all.
"This old guy doesn't have any plans, does he?"
Li Huan chuckled and said, "No matter what the plan is, the Xie family is finished."
As a large number of Jinyi guards picked up the Xie family's personal locks, a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry were looted.
As Xie Ming and other core disciples of the Xie family could not resist the torture by the Jin Yiwei, they confessed the location of the Xie family's treasures, and boxes after boxes of gold and silver jewelry were brought out.
Soon the yard was filled with various confiscated properties. A rough estimate suggested that there were as many as millions of taels.
This is just a simple copy of the property. The Xie family has been in Yuyao for decades, and with Xie Qian as the pavilion elder, the gold and silver property that can be collected in the end will only exceed that of the Fei family.
You must know that just like Cai Wen, in order to get through Xie Qian's channels, he was transferred from Fujian to the capital and sent money to Xie Qian several times.
It doesn't take many officials like Cai Wen to bribe Xie Qian. It only requires a dozen people, probably no less than a million taels.
At this moment, Chen Yao ran over excitedly and said to Li Huan: "Sir, Xie Di has hired me. It's such a big silver vault. I'll go and have a look for myself. I'm afraid it won't be less than two to three million taels."
Hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help but glance at the shackled Xie Qian and said, "Master Xie, the late emperor treated you well. Is this how you repay the late emperor?"
When Xie Qian heard this, he just snorted and sneered at Li Huan: "Li Huan, you are just laughing at the fifty steps and the hundred steps. I will assist His Majesty Zuo in governing the world all my life. There is no credit but hard work. These are the things I have done."
You deserve it, Li Huan, do you dare to say that you didn’t give money to your own family?”
Li Huan heard this as if he had heard some big joke.
According to Xie Qian's principles, he should go to his own house to collect money when he assists Emperor Zuo. In his opinion, corruption and bribery are a matter of course.
I'm afraid how much of this money is the people's wealth and wealth that Xie Qian used his power to plunder.
Even Li Huan still remembered that when Xie Qian was the cabinet minister, he once served as the Minister of Household Affairs. With Xie Qian's character, he was in charge of such a money bag as the treasury. If he didn't reach out, then he would not be Xie Qian.
Li Huan glanced at Xie Qian with disdain and said: "Although Li loves money, he gets it wisely. What money can and cannot be taken, but Li knows better than you, Mr. Xie."
Li Huan has never been taboo about this. Even for his subordinates, Li Huan was generous with rewards. However, as Li Huan said, he would not do anything against his conscience.
Just like those Jin Yiwei, no matter how tight their money is, few of them would exploit the common people. The common people are a bunch of bitter people, and no matter how much they exploit, they will never get any money.
Therefore, in the past, most of the Jin Yiwei went to exploit some merchants in the market. Now, even this kind of behavior is under the control of Li Huan and rarely happens.
Xie Qian laughed loudly and said: "So what? What should be taken and what shouldn't be taken? As long as you take it, it will be corruption and perversion of the law."
Li Huan nodded and said: "Master Xie is right, Mr. Li is indeed corrupt and perverting the law. I dare to do it. Even His Majesty knows what money Li received. Li is not afraid of anyone knowing, but Mr. Xie, do you dare?
?”
Li Huan himself ransacked his house several times, and gained a lot of benefits from the operation. For this reason, Zhu Houzhao once teased Li Huan that if Li Huan didn't ransack a few more times, the emperor's inner treasury might not be able to contain it, and Li Huan's net worth was unknown.
How much will it increase?
It can be said that from the beginning to the end, Li Huan put the things that benefited him in front of the emperor, and Zhu Houzhao was also very clear about the things that benefited Li Huan.
Li Huan was the one who handled so much money. If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid half of the stolen money would have ended up in the emperor's inner treasury or the national treasury.
Xie Qian stared at Li Huan and suddenly said as if he had seen through Li Huan: "Well, Li Huan, I have underestimated you. I never thought that you knew how to defile yourself at a young age."
Xie Qian said with a sigh on his face: "You are in a high position at a young age, in charge of the royal guards, and even the admiral of the capital. If you are really not greedy for money, not lustful, and become a perfect person, how can the emperor trust you?"
As for you, as time goes by, I'm afraid I will become jealous of you."
Xie Qian took a deep breath, looked at Li Huan and said, "So, the more greedy and lustful you are, the more assured the emperor will be of you. You are so scheming."
Li Huan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xie Qian in surprise. Until now, only Wang Yangming had said this to him when he was in Fujian and when he intercepted some confiscated gold and silver, fields and shops for the Li family.
The remarks.
The rest of the people just thought that he had a young mind and had no money or property.
As Xie Qian said, he was successful at a young age, trusted by the emperor, and given great authority. If there were no shortcomings or leverage in the emperor's hands, over time, even if the emperor trusted him, there was no guarantee that no one would be in the emperor's hands.
People around me make irresponsible remarks.
Xie Qian looked like he had seen through Li Huan, but Li Huan sneered and said, "What if Mr. Xie has seen through it? Are you going to tell His Majesty, or are you going to tell the world?"
The proud look on Xie Qian's face froze for an instant. Yes, even if he saw through Li Huan's self-destruction method, what could he do if he told the emperor?
A group of royal guards in the Xie Mansion nervously and orderly confiscated the gold and silver wealth of the Xie Mansion, and in Yuyao County.
I don’t know when it started, but groups of old, young, women, children, and young adults began to gather in twos and threes.
Among the eight Yuyao families, the Cao family, the Xing family, the Qiao family, and later the Zheng family, Mao family, and except for the Xie family, most of them were persuaded by Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai, and Cao Zhen.
If these families unite, they can completely make the imperial court lose control of Yuyao County in an instant. You must know that even the county government, except for the county magistrate, is an official sent by the imperial court, and the rest, such as inspections, bookkeepers, servants, etc., are all
People placed by each family.
The Eight Families not only control the people's livelihood in Yuyao County, but also control the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Yuyao. To be precise, almost 60 to 70% of the land in Yuyao is gathered in the hands of these eight families.
The family is completely able to control the life and death of the people of Yuyao.
When several families offered reward money to recruit people to besiege the court officials, among the tenants who were attached to the Eight Great Families, there were many ruffians, some were lazy, liked to take advantage of small things, and were even somewhat related to the Eight Great Families.
The people stood up and responded one after another.
There was a lot of chaos among the people in the Jiangnan area. Just like Su Kui, Xi Zhen and the others easily gathered hundreds of people to besiege the yamen with a wave of their hands. They even dragged the tax collectors out of the yamen and beat them to death. If it weren't for those people who were standing by,
If they waved the flag and shouted, Su Kui and a few scholars alone would really not be able to break into the government office.
Of course, there are really not many good people who are willing to get involved in this kind of thing.
Even if it was Su Kui, Xi Zhen and the others who raised their voices and besieged the government office with them, they were mostly ruffians on the street and some small businessmen. After all, ordinary people mostly hunted for food in the countryside, and few of them had that kind of power.
In my free time, I ran to the capital city.
By the same token, most of the people living in Yuyao County are actually people who have left the land and make a living by doing business or other means.
There are really only a few people who really rely on the land for their livelihood.
A sinister-looking old woman is a well-known goddess in Yuyao County. She usually relies on deceit and abduction to make a living. When she learned that the Xing family was willing to give each person one tael of silver and three buckets of rice, she attracted people to attack the court officials.
At that time, Du Shenpo enthusiastically signed up.
Among the crowd, several gangsters like Chen Si, who had scars on their faces, opened their chests, and exposed their flesh, also took the money from the steward of the Qiao Mansion with excited expressions on their faces, and glanced greedily at the rest of the people around them.
Above the money in human hands.
An old beggar opened his mouth with yellow teeth, and he was followed by several timid seven or eight-year-old boys with missing arms and legs, who also came forward.
"Sir, what do you think of us?"
The old beggar licked his face and nodded to the steward who distributed the money.
The housekeeper glanced at the old beggar and the children behind him, nodded disdainfully and said, "Okay, count you among them, especially these little brats. Remember to rush to the front for me when the time comes."
As he spoke, he picked up a broken piece of silver and threw it to the old beggar. The old beggar chuckled when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, sir. If these little brats don't run ahead, I will chop off all their fingers and feed them to the dogs."
"
As he spoke, the old beggar picked up a stick in his hand and knocked it hard on an older boy next to him, and shouted viciously: "You bunch of damn guys, why don't you come over and collect your money? Thank you, sir."
"
The boy who screamed after being beaten quickly came forward with several children to give him some change, and thanked the steward in a hoarse voice.
At this moment, a butcher came over with a butcher's knife. It was Liu, the butcher on the street. He said with a stern face: "Count me in, count me in, the free money and grain are missing."
I, the butcher Liu Ke, can’t do it.”
The steward glanced at Butcher Liu, then his eyes lit up and said: "Butcher Liu, I'll give you double the money and go call all your colleagues."
Butcher Liu looked at the white money in his hand, laughed out loud and said, "Don't worry, I'll call someone right now."
Even the head catcher Xing Ye, who was born in the Xing family, directly took off his police clothes with dozens of his catchers, put on common people's clothes and joined in.
As all kinds of people in Yuyao County gathered together, under the temptation of money and food, the snakes, insects, rats and ants in Yuyao County came out of the gutter one by one, plus some servants of the Eight Families
It only took half an hour to write the autobiography, but thousands of people had gathered.
At first glance, these thousands of people were really a mixed bag, with everyone there including petty thieves, idle gangsters, petty traders, and even a few women in the flesh business.
, it’s really a chaotic dance of demons.
Xing Tai, Cao Zhen, Qiao Songnian, Zheng Buer, and Mao Shang were sitting in the Qiao family's residence with serious expressions, discussing something.
Qiao Songnian said with a cold face: "Everyone, the manpower we have gathered is basically in place now. When we are ready, we will go directly to attack the Jin Yiwei team."
Xing Tai sneered and said: "Yes, let those people rush to the front. We don't believe it. Under the attack of thousands of people, those Jinyi guards either escaped or were beaten to death on the spot. Then Li Huan will have to take off his clothes this time even if he doesn't die."
Layers of skin.”
Cao Zhen, who was stroking his beard, said with a smile on his lips: "Everyone, it's not the most important thing whether we kill those Jin Yiwei or not. The most important thing is that we want to cause civil unrest. As long as there is civil unrest, we will make things worse."
If it gets too big, if it alarms the Gonggun princes above the court and the Emperor of Heaven, then the traitor Li Huan will only have one fate."
Qiao Songnian laughed loudly and said: "It's well said. What the emperor and the court are most afraid of is civil unrest in the local area. As long as there is civil unrest, local officials must change their heads to quell the public's anger. This time we just need to do something
If someone makes a move and points his finger at Li Huan, then the court will definitely kill Li Huan."
Xing Tai's eyes flashed with excitement and said: "Yes, and Li Huan massacred so many scholars. We must spread it widely and let the scholars in Jiangnan also contribute. When the time comes, the people will
Everyone in the court shouted that they wanted to kill the traitor Li Huan. Even if the emperor favored and trusted Li Huan, he would abandon Li Huan to calm the people's resentment."
Qiao Songnian nodded and said: "We also need to let the scholars in Jiangnan contact their connections in the court, and then the local government and the court will promote it together. If Li Huan doesn't die this time, it will be God's fault."
While he was talking, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps.
I saw the steward of Qiao Mansion coming quickly.
Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai, Cao Zhen, Zheng Buer, and Mao Shang all looked at the steward.
With a bit of joy on his face, the steward walked into the hall and immediately saluted everyone: "I have met you, sirs!"
Qiao Songnian waved his hand and said, "Qiao Ling, how is the matter you were told to do?"
When the steward Qiao Ling heard this, he quickly said: "Reply to the master, I followed the master's order and ordered people to spread the news about our recruitment. It soon attracted many people in the city. Now the people who have received the money alone are enough.
There are as many as a thousand people.”
Although the rest, Xing Tai and Cao Zhen, have been paying attention to what's going on outside, they still don't have an accurate figure on how many people they can recruit.
Now hearing what Qiao Ling said, everyone's faces were filled with joy and their spirits were lifted.
Qiao Songnian took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said, "Thousands of people? The number is a little small, but can we increase it more?"
After hearing this, Qiao Ling thought about it and said to Qiao Songnian: "If the masters give an order and order the servants in each house to go out together, then we can easily gather more than 2,000 people."
You must know that they are five of the eight families in Yuyao. Which family does not have hundreds of servants? As Qiao Ling said, the servants of these families alone can easily gather one or two thousand people.
Qiao Songnian looked at Xing Tai and Cao Zhen said, "Guys, my Qiao Mansion will send another three hundred servants."
Cao Zhen, Xing Tai, Zheng Buer, and Mao Shang looked at each other and laughed together: "In that case, each of our families should send out three hundred people. In this way, plus those recruited,
There are more than 2,000 people, but it is enough to cause a civil riot."
Qiao Songnian nodded slightly, waved his hand towards Qiao Ling and said, "Go to the mansion and select three hundred servants."
At the same time, Cao Zhen, Xing Tai and others also sent their own confidants back to dispatch their servants.
It only took a moment to burn incense. When the servants of each family put on the clothes of ordinary people and rushed to Qiao Mansion in groups, they attracted the attention of many people along the way.
After all, hundreds of people gathered together, and the movement was not small at all.
At this moment, on the long street in front of Qiao Mansion, at a glance, it was densely packed with servants from various families and all kinds of people who came for money.
These people stood together in a mess. If the real details of these people were not clear, to be honest, most people would really think that these were a group of ordinary people when they saw them.
In Qiao Mansion, through the open door, Qiao Songnian, Cao Zhen, Zheng Buer and others were looking at the thousands of people on the long street outside the door from a distance. They suddenly saw such a scene.
The momentum created by the large number of people gathered together, still couldn't help showing a look of shock in their eyes.
