Chapter 381: Talking at night while holding candles 3
The Hezhou government was extremely efficient in doing things. Lord Biejia, the second in command in Hezhou, quickly found out the truth. Lord Zhou Mu was indeed killed by people from Black Tiger Mountain, and the culprit was Thirteen, the big bandit from Black Tiger Mountain.
mother.
And those rumors are true. Lord He, the Zhou Mu who is loved by the people of Yelan City, is indeed a romantic person. He not only eats grass at home, but also hides his beauty in golden houses in many places outside. People in the past often saw this Zhou Mu.
When adults go to observe the public sentiment, they are actually trying to meet beautiful women.
As soon as this statement came out, the people were in an uproar. The news coming out of the Biejia Mansion was certainly reliable. Although there was no official announcement, it was tantamount to a certainty.
Immediately afterwards, a pretty widow from Lanxiang County went to the county magistrate's house to complain, claiming that she was one of the beauties hidden in the Golden House by Lord Zhou Mu. Rather than being a hidden beauty in the golden house, it was better to say that she was placed under house arrest by Lord Zhou Mu, and outsiders came to the house.
All the men who had a past with her disappeared mysteriously, it was all done by He Zhoumu, and those men did not want to have an affair with her, but came to rescue him as righteous men.
The people were outraged again.
Not only that, the widow also said that her husband's death was not accidental, but was done by He Zhoumu. When He Zhoumu passed by this place, he coveted the beauty of the woman who was not a widow, and wanted to get it from the woman's husband, but
When the man refused, he planned to kill her and make her a widow. Then he put her under house arrest and became his concubine. What was even more outrageous was that he wanted her as a daughter to serve both his father and son.
These remarks exploded in Lanxiang County like thunder. The governor of Lanxiang County was even more indignant and vowed to investigate thoroughly no matter how powerful Hezhou Mu was. The people in the county applauded and praised him as the Great Master Qingtian.
.
One person stood up bravely, and several other women who were also members of the Golden House also came forward one after another. They all had similar experiences, and they were all obtained by He Zhoumu through different means.
One stone set off a thousand waves, and even the women who were first bullied by He Zhoumu and who had worked in the He family came forward bravely. After those people were bullied by Master He and the young master of the He family, they were punished by the hostess.
Drive out.
When these "romantic affairs" of He Zhoumu came out, not only did many people become filled with indignation, but they also became a source of food for some people. Some righteous people visited those poor people one after another and extended their helping hands. Not only did they gain support from the public
He received praises and even won the favor of beautiful women.
In addition to these romantic affairs that are full of color, flavor and taste, there are also harder dishes for the people to taste.
The people must have no doubts about the rape and seizure of women of the people mentioned before. After all, such a big official must have the "rights". However, when it was mentioned that He Zhoumu and the Thirteenth Mother of Black Tiger Mountain also had an affair, it made people wonder.
The crowd's jaws dropped. It was okay for an official to have an affair with a thief, and he was also a high-ranking official and a thief. But the crowd had to believe it even if they didn't believe it, because the intimate letters between them were found by Mr. Biejia and published.
Although the letters contain beautiful and affectionate words, they are indeed quite disgusting in people's eyes.
Not only that, Heihushan colluded with Hezhoumu and robbed passing merchants, causing the merchants to suffer miserably and having nowhere to vent their grievances. Heihushan became Lord Zhoumu's cash cow and back garden.
This time Lord He secretly went to Black Tiger Mountain not only to meet his lover, but also to get his annual harvest. However, because of the conflict of interests, the other party became anxious and ignored the relationship between them.
Because of the relationship, he killed Hezhou Mu in a rage and dumped his body in the wilderness.
This is probably what happened. Mr. He, who was once aloof and well-dressed in rich brocades, was stripped of his ugliness.
At this time, He Mansion was not alone. Even the birds that came to look for food were scared away by all kinds of rotten eggs and rotten vegetables.
The door of He Mansion is tightly closed, and the people inside cannot leave the door. The people outside are thinking of the people inside, and work hard every day to bring rotten eggs and rotten vegetables to the people inside, for fear that they will be inside.
Starving to death, if it weren't for the guards of Chejiafu, the excited people would have rushed inside.
The servants of He Mansion all ran away and brought everything they could. At this time, they didn't care about their reprimands. Only some servants who had nothing to do with it wanted to leave because they were short, such as the big brother.
What a great steward.
At this time, the news from outside came in, and everyone had different expressions. Finally they knew why they were blocked in the house and scolded, and those maids and attendants tried their best to escape.
"Ah, my dear brother, I didn't expect you to be so good. You follow your father's butt and eat leftovers all day long. Even women want to enjoy it." He Chengyao, the third son of the He family, sneered unabashedly. "
They say all day long that my second brother and I drink and go to the brothels and are not doing our jobs properly. Indeed, drinking is not as good as it is, nor is doing things as good as it is. Even our ability to find women is not as good as ours."
"Haha, he is really our good eldest brother. He has always been said to be a good role model by the aunt." At this time, He Chengzong, who was always at odds with He Chengyao, also stood on the side of the third brother and looked at the eldest brother who was sitting in the first place with a sinking face.
."Brother, are you still qualified to talk to us now?"
"Shut up." Mrs. He shouted angrily.
"Auntie, are you still favoring my eldest brother at this time? Look how spoiled he is by you." At this time, He Chengzong was no longer afraid of the auntie who had always been afraid of him. "We are all father's sons, can we just do it?"
If we can make mistakes, my eldest brother will not make mistakes? Do you still want to favor him now?"
He Chengzong just thought that his father's sons did not have their own mothers, and he was clearly mocking his own aunt in secret.
"Do you believe what is said outside?" Mrs. He asked majestically. She knew that those maids were bullied by her. But she didn't believe the other things. They were obviously fabrications. She didn't believe it.
His own son would do something like this.
"Auntie, the evidence is all on Mr. Biejia's desk. How can this be false?" He Chengzong said, the news coming from the outside was all announced by the Biejia Mansion. There is evidence, and the victims have all come out.
Testified.
"This is obviously adding insult to injury. That Mr. Bijia is not a good person. I have never seen him show up so far." Mrs. He said angrily.
"Whether it's adding insult to injury or pushing the wall down, what can we do? If those rumors are true, just ask my eldest brother and you'll know. He's been with my father all the time. He definitely knows what we don't know."
The third child, He Chengyao, looked at his eldest brother who had been silent. "Brother, how long have you been pretending to be mute? It depends on the situation. Whether what is said outside is true or not, let your brothers die."
I understand damn well."
The third child seemed to be resigned to his fate even if the sky fell.
"What's the point of talking about this now? If you think you have it, you have it, but if you don't have it, you don't have it." The boss, He Chengguang, spoke up and said something ambiguous. "You don't care about this family, I don't care about it. If you want to die, just get out."
, when I get rid of dad’s grievances, don’t come back with your face licked."
"Oh, you are still stubborn now? Since you have an idea, why don't you just say it? Why do you want to make people anxious?"
"I don't want to talk to you, the scum of the family."
"you...."
The brothers were about to start a quarrel, and their fourth brother hurried back from the backyard and said, "Grandma, grandma seems to have stopped talking."
Everyone was startled and hurriedly ran towards the backyard.
...
While the news about Hezhou Mu in Hezhou became more and more intense, Master Biejia had already secretly deployed his troops to move closer to Black Tiger Mountain.
Black Tiger Mountain has always been a headache for the people of Hezhou and even the caravans from several neighboring states. In the past, people were always sent to clear it out, but with little effect. Not only because of the lack of manpower, but now it seems that it must be Lord Zhou Mu.
Making trouble in it.
This matter was so important that Black Tiger Mountain was notified by the imperial court. Master Biejia soon joined other states around Black Tiger Mountain, including Liuzhou and Haizhou, to besiege Black Tiger Mountain, even across the lake from Black Tiger Mountain.
Danzhou, who was looking forward to it, sent people to help. At this time, it can be said that the people of Black Tiger Mountain will not be able to escape this time.
In order to prevent Black Tiger Mountain from taking action so quickly, the government deliberately delayed the announcement of the news. By the time those things spread, their troops had quietly reached the foot of Black Tiger Mountain, and even with Black Tiger
Niangpi Town, which had a close relationship with the mountains, was occupied by the government. The bandits who were placed in Niangpi Town were either killed or arrested. The bandit who fled back to the Black Tiger Mountain Village also escaped from the officers and soldiers.
of.
In Niangpi Town, a military attache stood on the third floor of the restaurant. He was the commander of the operation. Niangpi Town was located at the intersection of Hezhou, Liuzhou and Haizhou, making it easier to command.
"Lord Dutong, all the small groups of bandits in the Black Tiger Mountain Mountains south of the commercial road have been cleaned up." A school captain reported.
"Very good, let's start now and slowly shrink our encirclement towards Black Tiger Mountain Village. No fish can slip through the net."
"yes!"
With the trade road as the boundary, officers and soldiers holding Chu swords slowly marched towards Black Tiger Mountain in the north. Now the officers and soldiers are in small teams, staggered in two layers of circles. The distance between each one is still a bit large, but they can all
As long as there is an abnormality within the line of sight, the team next to it will immediately make up for it.
As the circle gets smaller and smaller, the teams in the circle will get closer and closer, just like the mesh of a net will get finer and finer, and eventually the Black Tiger Mountain Village will be surrounded by water.
The encirclement was gradually shrinking, and those small bandits who thought they would not be able to deal with them still wanted to watch the fun. By the time they discovered that they were also fish in the big net, it was too late. The official goal of this clearing out was Black Tiger Mountain.
Black Tiger Mountain is not a place for bandits, and no bandits are allowed here.
In Black Tiger Mountain Village, Thirteenth Niang set fire to the things in the warehouse, and other houses in the village were also set on fire. Thick black smoke shot straight into the sky, like the smoke from a beacon tower. It was eye-catching and eye-catching, but a bit expensive.
