Chapter 207 Successive Riots?

A group of excited dogs were barking near the county gate.

As soon as Yue Fei and his men came in, the dogs were immediately frightened and fled away.

There was even a dog that ran too fast without looking at the road, hit a corner, screamed twice, and rolled and crawled away.

At this time, the gate of the county government office was surrounded inside and outside.

A fat, dark-looking man with a full beard, carrying an iron rod, was standing at the gate of the county government office, his bell-like eyes staring at a scholar in front of him.

"Look, Mr. Sun, now that everyone is no longer working in the fields, they are all forced to come to the county government office. Who do you think is responsible for this?"

The scholar named Sun stood there, his face covered with bruises.

"Wang Laoliu! This is the new policy issued by the imperial court! You are going to rebel..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Laoliu slapped him and knocked him to the ground, and then said viciously: "Hit! Beat him hard! Let him know who is the god of the Wei family!"

The people around him shouted and began to punch and kick Sun Yan.

Weishi's Yamen was locked with a big lock, so he didn't dare to go out. The magistrate hid inside and shivered, and he didn't dare to go out.

The people in Weishi County were hiding in their homes and did not dare to move.

At this moment, groups of people and horses came running towards this side.

The crowd at the gate of the county government office all looked over and saw a sergeant in armor, and their expressions changed.

How come there is an army in Weishi County?

An officer shouted: "Stop it all!"

"Don't be afraid!" Wang Laoliu said loudly, "There are so many of us, they don't dare to attack us. I won't give up until the county magistrate comes out to give everyone an explanation today!"

When everyone heard what Wang Laoliu said, they immediately felt confident and stood there watching coldly, refusing to give way.

When Yue Fei saw this, he realized why Zhao Guan's family had sent his own troops.

The number of people is almost a thousand. This is a riot!

To put an end to the chaos, it is not possible for a scholar to open his mouth and make everyone cry, then put down his butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.

To put down the chaos, we need to rely on the army.

Coincidentally, Yue Fei also participated in quelling chaos in history.

Yue Fei said: "Besieging the county government is equivalent to rebellion. Please listen to my advice, immediately put down your weapons and go home!"

His voice was sonorous and powerful, possessing a sense of intimidation.

"The imperial court is disrupting government and harming the people, and it is trying to cut off our livelihood!" Wang Laoliu shouted again.

The people around them shouted loudly: "Yes! The imperial court is causing chaos in government and harming the people!"

If a student who had been locked in a room studying all day came and saw this scene, he would definitely think that the evil government of the imperial court was harmful to people and forced the people to rebel.

But people like Yue Fei, who comes from a lower level, know very well that this is the gathering of local forces to create chaos!

There were various societies in the Song Dynasty, both among the people and in the countryside, and their scale was so large that it would be unimaginable for future generations.

Even the villagers make or buy their own weapons.

There were 1,234 counties in the Song Dynasty, and Baojia had even more counties.

In a slightly remote place, private fights often occur between Baojia and Baojia in order to compete for resources.

For example, some places compete for water resources. One person says that the river belongs to Baojia, and the other party says that the river belongs to Baojia.

If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, they will steal the guy.

This was very common in ancient times.

After all, in an era of limited productivity, natural resources are the only guarantee for human survival.

Not to mention the Song Dynasty, even in the Ming Dynasty, private fighting among the people was still very scary.

In the Ming Dynasty, in Lijia (rural areas) in Fujian and Guangdong, thousands of people fought at every turn, and the government did not dare to connect.

And Shuibo Liangshan in the Song Dynasty was not a civil interest group?

This kind of thing has to be gradually regulated until "every village is connected" and central officials and the law are universally enforced.

Yue Fei was well aware of the sufferings of the people, but he was also well aware of the strong control that local gentry and bullies had over the people.

"You are committing rebellion!" Yue Fei roared angrily, his voice seeming to make his legs tremble, "I will give you one more chance. Disperse and follow the imperial decree, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"

"Don't be afraid! They don't dare to take action!" Wang Laoliu continued to shout.

"Crossbowmen prepare!"

Yue Fei gave an order, and everyone raised their crossbows and pointed them in front.

The official from the Department of Agriculture who followed quickly said: "Shuai Yue, wouldn't this be good?"

"Now it's a rebellion!" Yue Fei said firmly.

"I will give you one last chance, put down your weapons and go home, waiting for the imperial decree!" Yue Fei issued an ultimatum.

There was hesitation on some people's faces, and some stood there motionless.

Wang Laoliu continued to shout: "Kill us all if you can!"

The group of thugs following him around him also started shouting, and so did everyone.

"Fire the arrow!"

Yue Fei gave the order again, and the crossbow archers did not hesitate at all. Suddenly, arrows flew out, and screams came one after another.

When a group is incited, they immediately start shouting and punching them, and then disperse immediately.

The first wave of crossbow arrows was released, and more than a dozen people were hit by arrows.

And the few people who rushed forward were hit in the head on the spot as soon as they rushed over, their heads were split open, and they let out a scalp-numbing scream.

If it were the person next door who was protecting the armor, everyone would not retreat and would continue to charge forward and fight.

But the problem is that what is in front of us is the regular army of the imperial court.

The rest of the people immediately turned around and ran away, scattering like birds and beasts.

The fierceness just now disappeared immediately.

Yue Fei did not stop him, nor did he order to continue the pursuit. When everyone else ran away, Li Chun, the commander who accompanied the Imperial City Division, said: "Commander Yue, if we are temporarily defeated like this, after we leave, I'm afraid they will come again."

.”

"Capture the thief and capture the king!"

The threat from the Yamen was lifted. After some understanding, I found out that it was Wang Laoliu, a well-known bully in Weishi County, who was instigating it. Then Wang Laoliu was arrested.

So he immediately offered a reward for Wang Laoliu's capture.

The news quickly spread to the Li family. Just now, he was discussing with his son. He was lucky that he could not hand over the property. When he heard that the imperial army was coming, he quickly asked his son to take out all the land account books and follow the instructions of the New Deal.

Follow the rules when picking up food, and don’t dare to lose even a grain of wheat.

He immediately went to the county government and expressed his willingness to sell the fields at a low price after paying the taxes.

This kind of business can save your life and can also be exchanged for salt and tea. If you don't do it, it will be for nothing!

Catching Wang Laoliu was easy and only took one day.

After he was captured, without asking any questions, Imperial City Commander Li Chun chopped off two of Wang Laoliu's fingers. Then, without asking, everything was explained in detail.

Regarding the situation in Weishi County, we rushed to Tokyo City for 800 miles.

At midnight, the news was sent to the palace.

Originally Zhao Ning was asleep, but the matter was too important and Wang Huaiji did not dare to delay, so he risked Zhao Guan's family to lose his temper and woke them up.

Zhao Ning got up and read the report from Weishi County with a gloomy expression. Sure enough, it was the local bigwigs who were behind the instigation.

"I am sending an edict to the Yi people of the Liu family in Weishi County! Announcement of the Sixteenth County and Sifu of Gyeonggi Road!"

The news was sent from the capital to Weishi County overnight.
