A case like Zong Weiwu's involves preaching the end of the world disaster, claiming to be an immortal saint, and distorting the teachings of Taoism. It is already an absolutely major case. And because of the nature of "gathering people together", the way to handle the case has been directly criticized.
Defined as "clearance and suppression". There were nearly 200 people in the team that went to the suppression. In addition to hundreds of young men who came from the conquest, the main force was the third class of government servants. This group of policemen and archers were absolutely incapable of fighting against each other, but they ransacked homes and exterminated people.
People are in good hands.
In addition, the ten Taoist Fangtang inspectors that Zhao Ran brought down from the mountain are the main ones. If something unexpected happens, such as some desperadoes raised in Zongjiazhuang or ruthless characters in the world, they will have to rely on the Taoist inspections.
.
Although the main force was summoned by the county government, after all, the matter involved a Taoist sect, and the one who really had the final say was none other than Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran was riding on an old donkey and looked at nearly two hundred people crowding around him.
It's quite touching. This feeling is really wonderful! The only regret is that the appearance of the old donkey under the crotch is really a bit disappointing. Moreover, after passing through Changchong Mountain and his party, Zhao Ran also expressed his disapproval of the old donkey's performance.
I'm a little dissatisfied, but I'm dissatisfied. I really want to run for my life, but I really can't find any mount that can outrun this beast.
Zongjiazhuang is not very far from the county town. Walk northeast along the official road for half a day, then turn down the Lushan Incline, and walk for another half an hour. During the journey, Zhao Ran suddenly remembered something and asked Jin County Lieutenant
, I am so arrogant here, will Zong Weiwu be scared away after getting the news?
Jinxian Lieutenant smiled and said that under normal circumstances, such large and wealthy households would not run away in a hurry, because it was difficult for them to abandon their family property. They would usually gather a crowd to resist, and then find a way to ask someone to save them. Zhao Ran asked.
Will Zong Weiwu do the same thing this time? Does he have any background to rely on? Jin County Lieutenant said, regardless of whether he has any background to rely on, take the person first, and what happens after that has nothing to do with us, so don’t worry too much
.
Zhao Ran still felt unsafe and asked again: What if Zong Weiwu really escaped? Jin County Lieutenant smiled happily and said that if he really escaped, it would be easier. First of all, his home could not be escaped.
Yes, secondly, we will search wherever he escapes until we catch him. Zhao Ran saw Jinxian Lieutenant smiling very strangely, and thought about it for a moment. He suddenly realized that if Zong Weiwu ran away, then
I'm afraid all the big houses nearby will suffer.
There was nothing to say all the way, and it was already dusk when they arrived at Zongjiazhuang. Zhao Ran raised his eyes and saw that the door of the huge manor was tightly closed, and there were about a dozen martial artist-looking people standing on the wall, who seemed to be guarding the village.
Jin County Lieutenant's eyes were filled with smiles, and he said to Zhao Ran: "Zhao Fangzhu, it seems that the Zong family is going to resist. Oh my, this is really..."
He didn't say the next words. But Zhao Ran looked at his happy expression and knew what he wanted to express without asking. He said, "It's better to go up and shout."
Zhao Ran was fully responsible for this cleanup, so Jinxian Lieutenant nodded and said: "This is the right thing to do." He turned around and called out to a captor, asking him to come forward and persuade him to surrender.
The catcher walked up to the village gate and shouted loudly: "Where is Zong Weiwu? Let Zong Weiwu come out and answer!"
A bald man on the wall replied: "The master of the clan village is out for business and is not in the village. Who dare to surround my clan village? They must be bandits!"
The arrester laughed. All three of their three squadrons of government officials were wearing government uniforms, and they could be easily identified as government servants. This bald man actually slandered him as a bandit, and he probably wanted to resist with force. So he said: "You thief!"
I really don’t know whether to live or die, and I’m too lazy to yell at you. Let Zong Weiwu come out as soon as possible. His case has been revealed. The Taoist Yuan and the county government jointly issued a document to take him back for questioning. Did you see it? Mr. Zhao Fangzhu of Wujiyuan Fangtang, my family
Lieutenant Jinxian of Yamen personally came with his troops..."
The bald man interrupted: "I don't understand what you are saying. The master of the sect is not here. If you have anything to do, wait until he comes back!"
The head catcher said: "Don't delay! Open the gate of the village as soon as possible and be bound obediently, otherwise we will be beaten in and both the jade and stone will be destroyed!"
The bald man suddenly raised his bow and fired. An arrow came suddenly and was nailed directly to the catcher's feet. The catcher was startled and jumped back.
The bald man shouted: "Who cares about you, Lord Bird County Lieutenant, if you keep talking nonsense, you will be killed by the next arrow, so hurry up and get out!" A burst of laughter broke out on the wall.
The catcher sneered several times and stepped back. Jinxian Lieutenant pointed at the bald martial artist shooting arrows on the wall and sighed to Zhao Ran: "Zhao Fangzhu, with this arrow, this case has become deeper. I don't know why, this case
But I have become obsessed with this."
Folks are not allowed to use or keep bows and arrows. This is an expressly prohibited law by the imperial court. With just one arrow shot, Zong Weiwu's case was added with the addition of "secretly hiding bows and crossbows with the intention of treason", and no one could save him.
Zhao Ran ordered: "Attack the village!"
So according to the previously discussed plan, the young men took out the wooden signs from the cart and came forward with more than a dozen archers guarding them. These archers bent their bows and nocked arrows, and shot towards the wall. There were also three dozen martial arts masters on the wall.
, four walking bows, their accuracy was quite good, but they could not withstand the overwhelming number of archers sent by the county government. After two rounds, they were completely suppressed and could no longer show their heads on the wall.
Several officers took out several cans of oil, smashed it on the farm door, and then set it on fire. The fire immediately started, and panicked cries were heard in the village.
The fire burned for almost half an hour, and it was not until the sky completely darkened that Zhao Ran heard a "puff" sound, which was the door latch behind the door being burned. Jinxian Lieutenant ordered to light the lamp ball torch, and then waved his hand, and there was
The officer came forward and stabbed violently with his sentry stick. The gate of the village had already been burned down. After stabbing it several times, it collapsed. Someone else brought water and poured it on to put out the fire.
Someone in the village shot a few arrows from the doorway, but Qingzhuang blocked them all with a wooden sign, and then opened the way inward with the wooden sign. The government officials swarmed in with weapons in hand, followed closely by dozens of young people.
Zhuang, this Zhuangzi is considered broken. The shouts of killing, screams, and cries in the village shook the sky. From time to time, you can still hear "The great disaster is coming, sacrifice your life for righteousness" and "Lv Xian has come to save our people."
Wait and shout.
From time to time, people in Zhuangzi came out to report the situation of the battle to Zhao Ran and Jinxian Lieutenant. Occasionally, they reported that they had encountered tough ideas, so Zhao Ran asked Guan Er to bring a few patrols and reinforcements.
The last battle took place in a small garden in Houzhuang. Zong Weiwu and several martial arts masters with good martial arts were making a last crazy resistance. Guan Er and others were unable to take down them for a while. Jin Xianwei was very capable.
Experience, people were immediately withdrawn, and archers were mobilized to surround Zong Weiwu and several recalcitrant martial artists. Several rounds of bows and arrows were fired at them, shooting Zong Weiwu and others like hedgehogs, and they were all killed on the spot. Zong Weiwu
Before he died, he was still shouting: "I am a disciple of Lu Xian, I am invulnerable to swords..." He died in the middle of the shout, which made Zhao Ran, who was watching the battle behind, sigh.
At this point, Zongjiazhuang was completely captured, and except for the female family members and babies in the village, all the other men were killed on the spot.
The contrast in strength between the two sides is quite obvious. On the one hand are the well-trained, experienced and well-equipped Taoist inspectors and government agents, and on the other are the fanatical but incompetent Zhuangding servants. Even if there are a few martial arts guards among them,
They were far from the match of the Taoist inspectors. After more than an hour of fighting, only more than ten people from the Taoist and county government were injured.
That night, Jinxian Lieutenant ordered everyone to search the Zongjiazhuang. At dawn, they finally counted the number. The biggest harvest turned out to be the one-foot-tall statue of Lu Xian taken out from the back garden where Zong Weiwu was guarding.
, the main body is made of pure gold, weighing no less than a thousand taels. In addition, more than 300 taels of gold ingots, 1,200 taels of silver ingots, and 800 guan of money were collected. In the warehouse, there were piles of silks, grains, medicinal materials, etc., all of which had been prepared.
The details were listed on the list, and the estimated total price was around a thousand taels of silver.
Jin County Lieutenant pulled Zhao Ran into a side room, took out a pile of silver notes and said: "Zhao Fangzhu, these are 10,000 taels of silver notes that were found separately. Just now, the Zongjiazhuang thieves set fire to the accounting room and destroyed all the account books.
, look..."
Zhao Ran understood what Jin County Lieutenant meant. He had no psychological burden on stealing uncontaminated silver, but he had never done this kind of thing before and didn't know how to divide it, so he smiled and said: "Follow the old rules."
Jin Xianwei nodded, added two to one to make five, and divided five thousand taels with Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran was a little hesitant: "What should we do with these servants and young men who have worked so hard to destroy the village? And the inspections brought by Pindao..."
Jinxian Lieutenant said: "They have taken everything they should have taken before, so we don't need to worry about it anymore."
"Then... what about the Taoist Academy and the county government? Song Supervisor Yuan, Kong County Zun them..."
"Don't worry, Fangzhu Zhao, the gold and silver property we handed over is already quite a lot, and some will be deleted when we submit it. What is deleted from the book is theirs. Just let Jin take care of these things.
No need for Master Fang to bother himself."
Well, Zhao Ran really didn’t have the energy to take care of so many things. He didn’t do anything today. He just watched a good show and got five thousand taels in a daze. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart - as expected, the shortcut to making a fortune is to confiscate the entire family and destroy it! (
