Chapter 541 Don’t move
The county magistrate had been looking out of the house diligently, hoping that the Taoist priests he had always been friends with would come to rescue him. Zhang was afraid of asking questions, so he hesitated. The question involved the Taoist priests, and he did not dare to answer casually. Zhang Ain smiled coldly, went out, picked up the thirteen Taoist priests bundled together, and threw them into the house: "Are you looking for them?"
The county guard was suddenly shocked. Even the Taoist master with great supernatural powers was caught. He didn't dare to take any chances and answered honestly: "The Taoist priest said that there are ores in the mountains to the north. I only hired twenty taels of silver for one stone." Go dig."
"Twenty-two pieces of spiritual stone, you give fifty cents? There really is no greeder, only greedier." Zhang feared: "Why do you want so much money?" The county guard had a good reason: "You want it?" To take care of things, I have to give gifts during the holidays. Every year, there are many people celebrating their birthdays or getting married, especially some high-ranking officials in the court. If I don’t give them enough, they will be unhappy. If they are unhappy, I will be unlucky. There is nothing I can do..."
Zhang Ping laughed loudly. The corrupt official came up with a theory and asked one by one: "I don't care how much money you have embezzled. You just tell me why you kill people indiscriminately?"
The county guard subconsciously wanted to call out that the people were rebelling, but he also knew that the people's rebellion was caused by their wages being deducted. He said frustratedly: "How can I be so bold on my own? All the officials in the government are eyeing the money, so they decided to The taps are reserved for government taxes, and five taels are drawn for each stone. At least fifteen taels are returned to the people. But I didn't expect that the people below were so greedy for profit that they not only deducted a lot of silver taels, but also ruthlessly killed people to establish their authority. Wait for me I know, oh, what's the use of knowing? That's 200,000 people. If something happens, my hat will be gone, so I came out to appease the people and planned to ask the people below to spit out some of the money. How could I have thought about it? Can people use drugs to kill people?"
The county guard's physical strength was pretty good, and he stopped to rest after talking for a long time. Zhang was afraid that he would die prematurely, so he threw him a life pill and said, "Take it." The county guard didn't dare not eat it. After swallowing it, he immediately felt My body is warm, all the injuries I suffered have disappeared, I am full of energy, except for my broken hand which cannot be resurrected, my skin and flesh injuries have been fully recovered, I feel stronger than ever, I rush to express my thanks. Zhang Ai said coldly: "Are you saying that the matter has nothing to do with you?"
"The matter really has nothing to do with me. I did not give the order to kill people. In order to save the lives of the people, I forced my subordinates to release the people. However, the subordinates violated the rules and let them go. They refused to refund the money and even detained the strong men to continue mining. "
When a person defends himself, there is always a lot of moisture in it. This is the case with the county magistrate. Except for the fact that the person was released, the whole thing is true, and other things are somewhat concealed or exaggerated. He was the governor of a county and could not afford the consequences of tens of thousands of people dying at the same time. In order to save his hat, he could only let people go. However, no matter how much money he drew and how he divided it, his words always had a certain weight.
Zhang was afraid that no matter how he explained, he didn't want to tell the truth from the lie, so he threw the account book in front of the county guard: "Call the people you said committed suicide without authorization."
The county governor was riding a tiger and was in a difficult position, and he didn't know how to give orders. Zhang was afraid and said: "If they don't come, you will die." The county guard hurriedly ordered: "General Sun." The outsider general shouted: "The last general is here." The county guard directly threw the account book out: "Invite people according to the list above. Those who don’t come will be arrested.”
"Yes." General Sun took the order and left. He was the city defense general and took orders directly from the county guard.
At this time, Zhang Ao walked up to the group of Taoist priests, pulled away the rope, and asked the top step of the foundation: "Do you want to buy spiritual stones? Twenty taels of silver a piece?" The monk said yes. Zhang Ying's face turned cold: "The officials deducted money from the workers, resulting in many deaths and injuries, and you don't care?" The foundation-building monk said proudly: "Why should you care about the lives of some ants?"
Zhang Awei nodded: "What you said is very good, and you have a lot of backbone." The foundation-building monk was quite arrogant, and he did not change his true colors after being caught. He probably thought that Zhang Awei alone did not dare to offend Longhu Mountain, so he said loudly: " As a disciple of Longhu Mountain..."
Zhang was afraid that he wouldn't be able to say the next thing, so he waved his palm like a knife and cut off his head. Looking at the other twelve Taoist priests, he sighed and said, "You are in the wrong place." He slapped them all to death.
The county guard was petrified and began to doubt his fate. He trembled and said, "Sir, spare my life. From now on, I will devote myself to doing good."
Zhang was afraid of ignoring him and walked outside the house. More than a thousand soldiers outside were crowded together like sugar balls, holding weapons against the door but not daring to come in. He looked at them one by one, and he couldn't understand why they were both farmers' children, so when they became soldiers and got weapons, they could kill and embarrass their brothers at will. You want to say it's profit? No! How much money can you make as a soldier? Is it an order? It is difficult for him to understand this group, which serves the government and acts as a tool of power under the banner of protecting the family and the country. But he can't even protect his own family. Maybe at this time, his family is being bullied by farmers like him, just because of a certain word of a certain big shot.
After standing for a while, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard outside the house. A soldier rushed in and shouted: "Sir, it's not good, my lord." Zhang Ai took a step across to stop him: "What's wrong?" "Let's fight. Yes, they have captured General Sun." The soldier gasped. Zhang Ping frowned and started a fight? The divine consciousness spread out, covering the entire county city. More than ten thousand people poured out of the army station in the west outside the city and headed towards Yang County.
Zhang Ain said coldly: "Looking for death." The figure disappeared out of thin air and instantly appeared in front of the army outside the city. At a glance, in the middle of the team was a general, commanding the troops to advance and shouting slogans such as killing corrupt officials.
Kill corrupt officials? If you don’t kill sooner or later, why do you kill now? What were you doing before?
Obviously, they were birds of a feather. When his subordinates reported that something happened in the county government, and General Sun came to invite him into the government, he knew that the matter had been exposed, so he took the initiative to save himself. It turned out to be a good plan.
He took out the hard iron knife and chopped it with a shocking force. A trench more than 30 meters long appeared on the ground in front of the team. Zhang Pa said coldly: "Don't move, whoever moves will die." It's strange to say, but in such a situation, there will always be a few fearless thorns. As if they don't know their existence, more than a dozen horses ran out from the back of the team, crossed the team and rushed towards Zhang Pa, shouting: "Don't know how to live or die, make way quickly." When these people saw the trench on the road, they were shocked. Did he cut it?
The team of 10,000 people was too long, and the people behind could not know what happened in front, but when they knew it, it was too late. The hard iron knife cut horizontally, and more than a dozen people were cut into two and died under the horse. This shocked the soldiers in front, but the soldiers behind didn't know this, and they still rushed forward. Someone asked what happened.
Zhang Pa raised his voice and shouted, "Shut up and don't move!" The shout was loud enough that more than ten thousand soldiers, stretching for several miles, could hear it clearly and looked forward in confusion.
