609 [The county government murders, the government keeps the head]
Qufu, the county seat.
The magistrate and his servants carefully waited for departure. When they looked at the one hundred physics disciples, there was a lot of awe in their eyes.
However, Zhang Cong had a worried look on his face: "Wang Xiangzhi has actually merged with Mohism. Daosi (Wang Shenzhong), you shouldn't have brought these people here. No matter how difficult it is for Qingtian, there is no need for their intervention."
Wang Shenzhong had a very sincere character and retorted face to face: "First, these Jishi School are just a branch of the Physics School, with only a few hundred people in the country. How can we say that the Physics School and Mohism merged? Second, Mencius once said: '
Mozi loved everyone, worked hard to benefit the world, and did it. Even the Yasheng highly praised the Mohists, so why should we be hostile to them?"
Zhang Cong argued: "Mencius also said that the Mohists 'have no father and no king, they are just beasts'."
Wang Shenzhong smiled and asked: "Have you ever read Mozi?"
Zhang Cong shook his head: "I haven't read it."
Wang Shenzhong said: "Mozi: Universal Love Pian" says: 'We should examine why chaos arises from the lack of love for each other. The ministers are not filial to the king and the father, which is called chaos. The son loves himself but does not love his father, so he benefits himself at the expense of his father.
'It can be seen from this that Mohism also loves the king and father, and does not have no king or father. Mencius only opposed Mohism. "Mozi: Universal Love Chapter" also says: "Jian Ai means benevolence and righteousness."
From this we can see that universal love is benevolence and righteousness, and Mohism also talks about benevolence and righteousness!”

Although Zhang Cong is familiar with the Five Classics, he has never studied "Mozi". He was quite surprised by this, but still shook his head: "If a knight violates the ban with force, this generation will definitely cause chaos!"
Zhang Cong's worries are not unnecessary. The Physics Sect Jishi Sect has already begun to cause chaos.
…
Hangzhou Industrial and Commercial School.
In the cold wind, more than three hundred disciples of the Jishi Sect were sitting cross-legged in the bamboo forest behind the school.
"The imperial censor is silent, and the three ministers are protecting him. There is no way to complain. We must go to Beijing to ask the great master (Wang Yuan) to make the decision." The speaker is named Yu Xin, who has a reputation as a scholar and is of Yu Qian's ethnicity.
The imperial examination competition in Zhejiang is fierce. Yu Xin studied hard for many years and was unable to pass the examination. He simply joined the physics sect, specializing in helping poor people with their lawsuits.
Fang Lingxi shook his head and said: "There are so many corrupt officials in the world. I ask the Grand Master (Wang Yuan) to make the decision in everything. How can the Grand Master be busy? I ask the Grand Master to make the decision in everything. I, the disciple of Jishi Sect,
What’s the use?”
A disciple named Zhang Yao drew his sword out of its sheath and said, "Kill the dog official and knock the mountain to shake the tiger!"
"Kill the dog officer!" the crowd shouted.
Fang Lingxi clenched his fists tightly, restraining his emotions and said: "Replacing violence with violence is never a good strategy. But if you can't bear it anymore, why should you endure it any longer? The dog officer must be killed, and a way out must be left. The brother who takes action can flee to Guangzhou."
Zhang Yao raised his sword and said, "I'll do it!"
Fang Lingxi said: "One person is not safe enough."
Another disciple named Yang Lu stood up and said, "Brother Zhang and I are together."
Fang Lingxi said: "There are six best people and we will draw lots to decide. Those who are the only child in the family, those who have parents who are over seventy years old, and those who have children under seven years old. These three categories should not kill people. Please retreat."
As soon as this statement came out, more than a hundred people left immediately.
Fang Lingxi counted the remaining people and ordered someone to write a note and draw lots. He was the first to draw lots, touched a blank note and missed.
The results were quickly drawn, and the six winners were named: Zhang Yao, Zhang Fen, Zheng Guangzu, Lin Zhipeng, Chen Xiao, and Li Yuan.
Fang Lingxi stood up and said to the six people: "You discuss how to take action. The other brothers will leave with me. No one is allowed to stay here!"
There are two reasons for clearing the scene: to prevent other people from being involved in the murder and avoid being implicated; to prevent other people from knowing the details of the plan and to prevent the news from leaking.
A few days later, Xiaoshan County.
Six strong men wearing cotton-padded clothes and swords hanging from their waists lined up into the city without saying a word.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw them dressed up, they let them pass without saying a word, and their attitude was extremely respectful. When the people along the way saw them, they also gave way to avoid them, and some even knelt down and knelt down to worship.
When there was a severe drought in eight provinces, the magistrate of Xiaoshan County responded to the call, recruited victims to work for relief, and built numerous polders around Xianghu Lake. At that time, not only the victims participated, but many people who were not affected by the disaster came to the polders enthusiastically.
Because the county magistrate promised to allocate part of it to the people.
The county magistrates at that time were quickly promoted and transferred, and the successor magistrate was named Xiao Qian, an old man with a civil servant background.
Xiao Qian never mentioned the matter of dividing the land among the people, and sat back and watched as the polders that had been divided among the previous magistrates were taken away by the local gentry through trickery.
What trick?
They forcibly assigned corvees to the people who divided their fields, forcing them to sell their polder fields at low prices. They even openly moved boundary stones, blatantly occupied people's fields, and even beat people to death during the dispute over the fields.
The physics sect in Hangzhou initially wanted to take legal action.
On the one hand, he reported it to the Hangzhou magistrate and the third division of Zhejiang Province, and on the other hand, he reported it to the patrol censor. At the same time, he sent lawyers to file a lawsuit with the Xiaoshan County magistrate.
However, the power of the local gentry was too powerful, and the Hangzhou prefect did not dare to take care of it. The Third Division of Zhejiang ordered the Hangzhou prefect to investigate, and the Hangzhou prefect sent a judge to investigate the case, but in the end the matter was perfunctory.
In an instant, six strong men had arrived outside the Xiaoshan County government office.
"Stop whoever comes!" The Yamen servant hurriedly stopped him.
"Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang!"
The officer answered with six sonorous and crisp sounds.
The six warriors broke into the county government office without any resistance. Even when they passed through the Yimen, a government servant reported in a low voice: "Xiao Zhixian is in the inner house."
The six warriors immediately quickened their pace, passed the second and third halls with their swords in hand, and marched straight into the county government house.
The deacons who were working in the second hall and the third hall did not dare to move when they saw this. After the six heroes passed by, they were so frightened that they fled the county government office in a hurry.
At the door of the inner house, the master was filled with fear and subconsciously yelled: "What a big dog..." Before he could say the bold words, the sword light came, and the frightened master quickly changed his words, "Hero, spare your life!"
One sword pierced the heart, another sword stabbed the throat, and the master fell dead.
One man bent down and cut off his head, then carried the head and continued forward.
"Killing people!"
The maids and servants in the inner house screamed and ran away randomly.
The magistrate Xiao Qian was burning a charcoal stove in his room, and a maid was helping him beat his legs. Hearing the shouting outside, he subconsciously asked: "What happened?"
The old slave brought from home hurriedly ran in: "Master, hurry up, there are evil people outside!"
"That's nonsense. This is the county government office. How could a bad person dare to cause trouble in the county government office?" Xiao Qian stood up and went out to look around.
The six heroes had already split up and were looking for the magistrate in groups of three. Three of them happened to bump into Xiao Qian.
Seeing his master's head, Xiao Qian was so frightened that his legs were filled with lead and it was difficult to move. He trembled and said: "Okay... I'll give you a hundred taels each..."
Before he finished speaking, three swords struck him at the same time.
Six strong men, two heads, quickly left the county government office.
Walking on the street, everyone looked sideways, but no one dared to stop him. Some people even cheered: "Good kill, this bird official should have been killed long ago!"
The six heroes came to the river, but instead of going along the river to the dock to escape, they crossed the river to Fucheng, Hangzhou.
Zhang Yao raised the head and shouted: "Don't close the city gate, this is the head of Xiaoshan County Magistrate!"
The soldiers who defended the city actually didn't close the city gate. They all ran to the toilet with upset stomachs, and allowed the six warriors to carry the magistrate's head in.
The six heroes passed by the Renhe County Government Office, but did not stop and continued moving forward.
The yamen servants of Renhe County turned a blind eye when they saw this situation. They even recognized one of the strong men as the eldest son of Zheng Wuzuo from the county.
They came outside the Hangzhou government office, placed two human heads on the steps, and dipped their brushes in blood and wrote on the side: "The head of the magistrate of Xiaoshan is here, I hope the government will take care of it!"
Two or three streets next door is the Chief Secretary of Zhejiang, where the Chasi and Du Commanding Offices are located. How dare they use the head of the magistrate to threaten the magistrate to investigate the case under the nose of the Third Division!
After leaving the words, the six heroes finally headed east to the dock.
There were countless onlookers along the way, all of them in awe.
A strong man was drinking with his friends. When he heard about the righteous deed, he abandoned his friends and ran out of the restaurant. He knelt down on the street and shouted: "Brother, I, Li Qi, want to join the gang!"
The six heroes were speechless and left the city calmly. They took the carriage that had been prepared and arrived at Hangzhou Pier to board a ship and go south.
The prefect of Hangzhou shivered with fear and hurriedly sent people to Xiaoshan to investigate the case. Even if all the gentry and powerful men were offended, he had to investigate the case clearly, otherwise he would definitely be the next to lose his head.
The officials of the Third Division of Zhejiang were furious. These gangsters were so rampant!
The Zhejiang Inspectorate personally came forward and dispatched officers to track down the murderer. As a result, he could not find out. It was not until three days later that someone identified the murderer's son.
That night, the person who identified the murderer died at home!
The officers told the inspector that the identification must have been wrong, and please do not listen to the rumors.
