Chapter 84 Spark
Changsha County, located in the southwest of Jiangling, is the second largest city in Jingzhou except Jiangling. It is densely populated. Although it has experienced war, it relies on the high walls of the city and has never suffered much damage.
As the second largest city in Jingzhou, it has always attracted the most attention of the assassins, and all county guards are the confidants of the assassins. However, since the defeat of Huan Xuan, everything has changed.
The former county guard Qiu Xingju was originally Huan Xuan's confidant. Although Huan Xuan was defeated, he will remember his credit when he thought of it and the Huan family resured, and naturally it would not be difficult for him in the process.
Who would have thought that Huan Wei didn't play cards at all, made Jingzhou a mess, and almost broke into his Changsha. Fortunately, Huan Wei was killed, otherwise even he would have wanted to summon troops to fight against Huan Wei.
Although he hates Huan Wei, after all, he is the person promoted by Huan Xuan. Seeing that the general trend of Jingzhou has been determined, he has to succumb to Lu Qiang on the surface, but after all, he has a deep imprint of the Huan family. He knows that Lu Qiang will soon liquidate them.
So when someone came to him with Huan Xuan's letter, he did not hesitate to choose his former master.
Qiu Xingju made it very clear that in Jingzhou, officials like him are not an exception, but they are just better covered up. Therefore, in line with the mentality of not blaming the public, he violated the political order entrusted by Jiangling, and even secretly provoked officials from other counties to boycott Jiangling's political orders with him.
After several wars, Qiu Xingju is also clear about Lu Qiang's personality. He knows that this young man is bold and easy to do things, but now he is not facing one person, but the officials of the whole Jingzhou. Qiu Xingju doesn't believe that he is so bold and dares to challenge the whole Jingzhou officialdom?
As long as the political situation in Jingzhou is unstable, Huan Xuan will have the opportunity to rejoin Jingzhou.
Therefore, these Tianqiu trip gathered nervously and comfortable. While constantly sending people to ask for all kinds of materials from the governor of Jingzhou, he called friends to live his luxurious life.
The weather has been a little abnormal recently, or it will be sultry or rainy. But yesterday was fine. After a gust of wind and rain, the weather soon eased down.
The sun waved his smile angrily, shining warmly on the people, and even the people were a little lazy.
Qiu Xingju was supposed to go to the government, but after staying in the newly married concubine's room for one night, it seems that even his spirit was exhausted from last night's fatigue.
The sun is shining and the beauty is like jade. This life is so beautiful! It would be better if the lord returned to Jiangling again.
"Adult... Master... Big... It's not a big deal..."
A burst of rapid footsteps mixed with panic shouts shattered the good dream of Qiu Xingju.
In fact, he didn't fall asleep, but he was thinking about how to deal with Jiangling's questions next.
"What's the panic?"
Qiu Xingju sat up from the concubine's arms with his lips curled and looked unhappily at the family who rolled in.
"There are.. There is artificial opposition"
"What?"
Hearing this, Qiu Xingju jumped down from **. Huan Wei's people have been cleaned up by Lu Qiang. Although there are some fish that are leaking from the net, those scattered soldiers and Yong dare not come to the county to make trouble. How can they rebel? But who dares to make up this kind of thing?
"Your Excellency, it's true, and I don't know that the unruly people heard that the land of Mr. Kai's house had been sealed up by the government, and the government promised to divide the land to the people, so he went to ask for it. In anger, Master Kai killed several tenants. The family members of the tenants carried their bodies to judge. , and many people were injured by the Kuai family. It doesn't matter. People from ten townships and eight provinces have come. The people of the Kuai family did not see things well. On the one hand, they guarded the house and sent people to the government office to ask for help."
The family said intermittently that he accepted the benefits of the Qi family and naturally wanted to make the problem serious.
Qiu Xingju is not the kind of person who is reverented. After listening to the words of the family, he couldn't help thinking about it.
"The notice of Jiangling Mansion has been pressed by himself in the government office. How do the people below know? Did someone get the news? Or is someone deliberately provoking?"
"Your excellency, send troops to save Kuai's family! Otherwise, you will be beaten by those unruly people."
The family still spared no effort to persuade, as if it was his family that was besieged.
Naturally, the Kwa family needs to be saved, not only because the Kwa family usually gathers close to Qiu Xing, but also a gesture.
"Go, let Qiu Hu take 300 county soldiers to catch the first evil of the trouble. These unruly people are really getting more and more outrageous"
Although I felt something was wrong, Qiu Xingju didn't think too much about it. The Kui family also supported the master. When the master went to Jiankang, he contributed a lot of money. Although after the master returned to Jiangling, the Kui family was a little estranged from the master, but in the end, he was a person in this field. If he can't protect him well, there will be Who dares to support the lord?
Changsha is a large county with 500 county soldiers. If you encounter war and then mobilize the rich families of various scholars, you can quickly form a team of thousands of people, which is also the reason why Huan Wei did not enter Changsha.
Qiu Hu is Qiu Xingju's cousin, and the official position is Changsha Sima. This official position is still sealed by Huan Xuan. Lu Qiang has not had time to deal with him, but this guy, like Qiu Xingju, obviously felt a trace of crisis, so he resolutely resisted the decree of the Jiangling Assassin's Mansion.
In fact, before receiving his cousin's order, Qiu Hu heard that a large number of people poured into the city, and the people sent to inquire about the news almost arrived with his cousin's order. How dare these mud legs make trouble? Is that okay? Without saying a word, Qiu Hu immediately ordered 300 county soldiers to kill Kua's family with a fierce momentum.
Kuai's family is a large family in Changsha. Just like the Chen family in Jiangling, there are nearly a thousand families in captivity, but most of these families are usually on farms in the countryside, and the people who make trouble come too fast to give them time to gather their families at all.
The Kua family is also very depressed. Our family supports Huan Xuan, but there are many people who support Huan Xuan. Why don't these unruly people make trouble in their family?
At the same time, the Kwai family is also used to being strong. Although they attacked dozens of people who made trouble at the beginning, what are the people? In the eyes of the Koya family, it is not even as good as their family dog.
But I never thought that these inconspicuous dozens of people would soon gather thousands of people. Under unprepared, the Kuai family had to strictly guard the door and send people to the government office for help.
At this time, there was already a sea of people outside the door of the house. Directly opposite the gate, there were several stretchers for the bodies, followed by the families of the mourners who knelt down and cried.
In front of them, there are several large and round-waisted farmers who are inciting the emotions of onlookers.
"My fellow villagers, what a great grace it is that the rebels were destroyed by the imperial court. What a special decree of the court to divide the property of those who support the traitors to our poor people! Lord Assassin also issued a special notice for this, and this Kuai family was once the most staunch supporter of the Huan thieves. Is there a problem for us to ask for land from his family?
"If the Kuai family feels wronged, they can go to assassinate Lord Shi's comment, but their family directly beat our villagers to death without asking indiscriminate. May I ask, is there any reason? Our requirements are not high. Hand over the murderer, compensate the victims, and give us the land that should be given to us, right?
"Yes... Severe punishment for the murderer... Give me back..."
The people are not without blood, but have been deliberately suppressed, especially those who live on the edge of food and clothing. Once someone lights the dry firewood in their hearts, they will soon turn into a blazing flame and burn those things that have been pressing on their hearts for many years to ashes.
Of course, it was Lu Qiang's bodyguard Wang Kai and others who provoked the people to make trouble. To be honest, they didn't expect the Kuai family to be so arrogant that they dared to commit murder directly. If they hadn't been able to do some martial arts, I'm afraid they would have been hurt by those evil slaves.
They are even a little ashamed of the dead people. If it hadn't been for their provocation, they wouldn't have died.
Wang Kai and others strictly follow Lu Qiang's instructions to control the development of gaffe, otherwise these extremely angry people may have rushed into Kuai's house.
They are also resisting the impulse to kill, because they are also poor people. How can you bear to watch these poor people being bullied and indifferent?
At this moment, the people behind suddenly became confused.
Wang Kai turned his head and saw a group of county soldiers under the leadership of a black-faced officer, taking turns to whip the people around him crazily.
While beating and scolding: "Let you unruly people make trouble and beat you to death..."
Wang Kai wink at a brother beside him, his men nodded, and then took advantage of the chaos to get out of the crowd and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the people who were whipped and crying, Wang Kai couldn't help his anger. He grabbed it with an arrow step, grabbed the whip in a county soldier's hand, and suddenly grabbed it before the other party could react, and then pulled it back.
Looking at the leader's action, other bodyguards who had been angry for a long time also took action.
Lu Qiang's current bodyguards are all selected elite soldiers who have survived several wars. No matter how capable or fierce they are, how can these county soldiers who can only scare the people be compared?
In a blink of an eye, the county soldiers were knocked down, and the green eyes of the people saw someone taking the lead and immediately turned around and fought with the county soldiers.
There are nearly 1,000 people who came to make trouble, and there are many righteous and indignant people around them. The consequences of so many people besieging 300 county soldiers can be imagined.
Those county soldiers usually worked for the tiger and bullied the people, but they never thought that these sheep would have a day of resistance. Suddenly, many people were knocked to the ground by the angry crowd and then torn to pieces.
Qiu Hu is also stupid, crazy, fucking crazy, no, it's the opposite, they are going to rebel!
A personal guard saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly pulled up Qiu Hu and ran with other brothers. While running, he did not forget to remind him: "Your Excellency, the mud legs are reversed. If you don't run, it will be too late..."
"Yes... Run.."
Under the siege of the people, only dozens of 300 county soldiers escaped, and the others were beaten into meat cakes by the people who had lost their minds.
Seeing this scene, Wang Kai did not stop doing anything, roared, and took the lead in rushing to the gate of Kuai's house...
