On April 13, two notices were posted in Bailu Town. One was an order to remove the county magistrate of Shiweihua Zishui, and at the same time appointed a man named He Dezhi to take over. The notice was personally signed by the provincial governor Zhang. Bai Lu
When there was a fair in Luzhen, the onlookers talked about it. A dead person was replaced by a living person. The dead person could not maintain his dignity until his death. It was hard to say whether the living person could be managed with morality or not.
The humorous nature of the Bailu people got an excellent opportunity to show off. The content of another notice posted was not very good. It was a notice to arrest and detain the main culprit in the trouble. Among them, Lu San and other four people who led the way into the city
Individuals, as well as Mr. Xu who wrote the notice, and the He brothers who instigated the uprising. The onlookers felt that they had fallen flat after seeing the second notice.
Bai Jiaxuan was even more miserable than before the incident. One of his heaviest worries was indeed confirmed by rumors: the identity of his insurgent was no longer a secret, and the reason he escaped from jail was that he paid to bribe the county government;
When things went wrong, he put the blame on those seven people, and said that his brother-in-law, Mr. Zhu, had a bad reputation in the county, etc. Bai Jiaxuan had a gloomy face from morning to night, knowing that the jujube buds had sprouted but did not sow them.
Cotton. He visited He's house and then Mr. Xu's house. He did not express any special enthusiasm for their suffering family members. He just repeated the same sentence coldly: "I will go to the county government immediately.
Surrender, I will definitely bring them back." He said to Lu San's woman who was crying: "Third sister-in-law, don't worry, if I can't save third brother, I won't come to see you."
Bai Jiaxuan got up early the next morning and rushed to the county government. A young white-faced scholar in the county government said to him: "The incident of handing over farmers has been settled. The remaining matters will be handled by the court. If you have anything to say, go to the court." Bai Jiaxuan put down his robe and took out his hand.
He pulled out a thin linen rope and said: "I am the insurgent of Jiao Nong. You got the wrong person. You tied me up and sent me to jail." The white-faced scholar was stunned at first, and then patiently explained: "Jiao Nong."
There is nothing wrong with the peasant incident." Bai Jiaxuan was surprised, and felt that he had caught the other party's loophole: "Yes, why arrest people?" The white-faced scholar smiled and explained to him: "Now anyway, there is a revolution, you know, now it's
The revolutionary government advocates democracy, freedom and equality, and allows people to assemble, organize, and demonstrate. It is no longer an autocratic feudal rule. The farmers' handover incident is a demonstration in compliance with the constitution and is not illegal. Those seven people are only responsible for burning houses and smashing pots and pans.
Do you understand? Quickly put the hemp rope into the bag. If you still don't understand, go to the court and tell him." It's not that Bai Jiaxuan didn't understand, but he was getting more confused. He went to the court again and took out the hemp rope and asked for it.
The people in the court tied him up and sent him to jail. The people in the court said the same thing as the white-faced scholar, promoting the democratic spirit of the new government, but in a much harsher tone: "Are you kidding me? Pack up your hemp rope."
Whoever breaks the law will be arrested, and whoever does not break the law will not be able to get in even if he wants to go to jail. If you walk quickly, if you don't leave, you will be making trouble unreasonably and disrupting the order of the revolutionary organs." Bai Jiaxuan packed up the hemp rope, picked up his sackcloth, left the court, and walked towards the west of the county seat.
, decided to go to his brother-in-law Mr. Zhu to find a solution.
At twilight the next day, Bai Jiaxuan walked down Bailuyuan again with his robe on his back. In the pocket of his undershirt was a text message from his brother-in-law, Mr. Zhu, to Governor Zhang. The gate of the Governor's Mansion was much tighter than that of the County Mansion, and the guards with live ammunition opened their eyes.
He didn't recognize the person. In desperation, Bai Jiaxuan took out the letter from his brother-in-law. Almost all the guards knew about Mr. Zhu's feat of convincing the 200,000 Qing troops to retreat, so they let him in. A middle-aged man took the letter and said:
"Governor Zhang is not here. Trust me to be your friend. You can go back." Bai Jiaxuan said, "I want to wait to see Governor Zhang." The middle-aged man said, "You can't wait. The governor is not in the city. If you have anything to say to me,
." Bai Jiaxuan told the story of the arrest, and said in a threatening tone: "If you don't let him go, I will hit you to death on the gate." The middle-aged man laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if I hit you to death ten times.
, those who should be released should be released, and those who should not be released must be detained. You hurry up, I am still busy." Bai Jiaxuan was anxious: "If my brother-in-law hadn't persuaded Governor Fang to resign, you would probably have become wild ghosts buried in mass graves.
Now that the official has settled down, there is no need for anyone else, right?" The middle-aged man smiled and did not dislike his wording. Instead, he said sincerely: "Forget about other people's matters. How can you forget about Mr. Zhu's matters?
If there is no movement in seven days, come back again." Bai Jiaxuan stayed at the house of the cobbler's second brother-in-law that night.
The next day when Wang Hei returned home, he saw Mr. Lu Sanxu, brothers from the He family and two familiar but unnamed people sitting at the table in the bright room of the upper room. When the six people saw him, they all knelt down.
Bai Jiaxuan was overjoyed. He helped them one by one, only to find out that Governor Zhang specially sent someone to tell Magistrate He Dezhi of Zishui County to release them. Bai Jiaxuan asked: "Where is the monk?"
The only one. Bai Jiaxuan said nonchalantly: "Don't be anxious, don't be afraid. The monk will come down to rescue you, and no one can be escorted by him. We are friends in need. It's rare to meet today. Let's drink a few cups to calm everyone down."
He ordered the fairy grass to stir-fry, then turned back to Lu San and said, "Third brother, go back and say hello to Third Sister-in-law first. She is so anxious." Lu San smiled and said, "She knows I'm back. Jiaxuan, I'm like this
I was in the house for a few days, guess what I dreamed about. Every night I dreamed about our cows and horses. I carried the swill to drink from the cows, and when I woke up, I saw it was the urine bucket in the house..."
It took a lot of trouble to rescue the monk from prison. The president of the court bluntly described the difficulty: "If you burn down someone's house and smash someone's pot, someone must take the blame." Bai Jiaxuan said: "You have more ways than me." He did not hesitate to spend money.
, I made up my mind that I had to buy out the monk with money. Mr. Xu donated his salary. The He family brothers also sent silver coins. The old monk in Sanguan Temple had "Save My Disciple" hanging on his chest.
He went to various villages in Yuan Shang to beg for alms, exchanged the small coins into large silver coins, and gave them to Jiaxuan. Bai Jiaxuan sent the clanging silver coins to the wife of the court dean, and the dean actually came up with the idea of ​​releasing the monk.
The monk was released. Bai Jiaxuan was a little dissatisfied that after the monk was released, he neither expressed his gratitude to the man who rescued him from prison nor said goodbye to the old monk who raised funds for him. He did not return to his original position.
The whereabouts of the Sanguan Temple in Sanguan Temple are unknown. The monk became a mystery. At this time, some people said that the monk had committed adultery in Xifu and fled to Bailuyuan. He entered the Sanguan Temple just to escape the pursuit of the government; and
Some people say that he was originally an orphan without a father and mother... In Bai Jiaxuan's view, there is no need to investigate, let alone verify, because the overall purpose of rescuing them from prison has been achieved. As for him not being a monk, it is insignificant.
