Daming heir

Chapter 378

"Bangdang."

In a dilapidated village not far from Donghuzhuang, which is composed of countless wealthy families around Donghu Shuize, there was a sound of metal falling to the ground.

The dilapidated village looks even more dilapidated because of the break of the Yellow River this time. If it weren't for the daily objects of the people still placed in the courtyard, it would only make people feel that this is a deserted ancient village that has long been abandoned.

And as the first sound sounded, the whole village began to rise and fall one after another.

Wait until the sound of metal falling to the ground is over.

In the night outside the village, there was also a long and long horn sound.

A group of Habayashi Youwei officers and soldiers who put on civilian clothes looked at each other, then nodded.

"Donghu Village is rich and unkind!"

"Small East Lake Villa, stand up and be the master of the house!"

The sound was so loud that it cheered up the whole village. Even the big dogs guarding the village were too frightened to lie in the corner and dare not move.

It's just that in the whole village, except for the calls of the officers and soldiers of Habayashi Youwei again and again, there was no movement anymore.

In the distant night, the long sound of the horn suddenly became more urgent and sharper.

The faces of the officers and soldiers of Habayashi Youwei changed, and the content of their shouts also changed.

"Killed!"

"Dead!"

"The people in Donghu Village are starting to kill people!"

"Killed..."

The officers and soldiers of Habayashi Youwei kept shouting, and after a few times, they quietly disappeared into the night outside the village.

At the same time, the same things are happening in the villages with Donghuzhuang as the dot.

But the reactions were similar.

It seemed that these villages that were obviously inhabited by people turned into deserted and deserted villages tonight.

just.

Everything is changing.

Deng.

In a courtyard whose walls had already collapsed, behind the small window, the light of an oil lamp suddenly lit up.

Then, the lights came on one by one.

Like stars in the night sky, they are distributed in the wilderness of Kaifeng Mansion.

creak.

The rotting wooden door groaned, revealing a gap that spilled more light into the courtyard outside.

Suddenly, a black shadow blocked the light, but it seemed to be pushed out of the door by those faint but extremely bright lights, and walked into the yard.

It is a commoner who has already put on clothes.

The trousers are still stained with mud spots brought back from the river today.

The man walked to the place where the noise came from in the courtyard, bowed his head, and took a knife in his hand.

"It's a knife!"

In the yard next door, there was a low cry.

The man turned his head and saw that everyone in the village got up and walked out of the house.

In the dark night, someone made a surprise sound.

"It's His Royal Highness! It was His Highness who sent it!"

"When I was working on the river today, I saw His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun bringing people here!"

There was a lot of noise in the village.

It's just that everyone is still hesitating.

Outside the village, the officers and soldiers of Habayashi Youwei, who had clearly left, quietly approached him again.

Under a courtyard wall, an officer and soldier with the loudest voice raised his head.

"It must be His Highness who got involved in the matter, so we have to make decisions for ourselves!"

"Donghuzhuang killed someone, find out the murderer, and send it to His Highness, the grandson of the emperor will definitely make the decision for us!"

As the officers and soldiers spoke, the rest of the officers and soldiers shouted again.

"Small East Lake Villa, stand up and be the master of the house!"

"Small East Lake Villa, stand up and be the master of the house!"

One after another, each louder than the other.

Gradually, the people in the whole village, armed with knives and guns, joined in and shouted.

Gradually, the voices of the common people covered the voices of the officers and soldiers.

Finally, the officers and soldiers of Habayashi Youwei really left quietly.

And the people in the village, holding knives and guns, also walked out of their homes one after another, taking the first step towards Donghu Village under the shining stars.

And those people who did not have swords and guns also picked up dung forks, hoes, hatchets, etc. in the yard of their homes one after another.

The people moved.

……

And in Donghuzhuang.

Almost the entire area around Donghuzhuang, starting from Zhongmou County in the west and ending in Kaifeng Fucheng in the east, the families who occupied this large area of ​​land were stunned.

He vowed to select a family with two ranks of Jinshi in the next division. The man in charge of the family also held a knife in his hand, and looked at the people who stopped outside the gate of the mansion in the night with some surprise. crowd.

The imperial court does not ban swords and guns, only crossbows and other sharp weapons.

Originally, the man had already become ruthless, as long as these mud legs dared to rush to the door of the house, he vowed to kill several people to stand up, so that these mud legs would know who is the biggest in this area of ​​Donghuzhuang.

just now?
Those mud-legged people holding torches and shouting all the way stopped far away in the night.

The man pricked up his ears, his expression suddenly changed.

Those 'mud-legged people' were actually shouting into the air, shouting about killing people and dying people.

These people are not mud legs!

The man's face changed dramatically.

Just as he was about to take action, he saw those people in the dark night start to flee.

flight!
After thinking for a while, the man felt that it was the most appropriate word to use.

Bang.

The steward of the house, who hadn't noticed the strangeness yet, watched the mud legs receding like the tide, and finally his whole body went limp, and he fell down on the cold ground after taking a deep breath.

"It's finally back, it's finally back..."

There is even a young boy from the clan holding a sword and a long knife, hiding the previous fear on his face, showing a contemptuous and domineering expression.

"Mud legs are mud legs, thunder is loud and rain is little, and they deserve to be poor for a lifetime!"

"Hey!"

No one noticed the Patriarch's face, which was even uglier than before.

On the side, not far away from another family that has lived in Donghuzhuang for generations, several stewards and servants came over.

"The little ones came here at the order of the Patriarch, and want to remind your mansion."

"Something's not right tonight."

The steward who rushed over from the mansion next to Donghuzhuang, had just finished speaking, and suddenly there was a far greater momentum than before in the wilderness under the dark night in the distance.

"Close the door!"

"Take the bamboo fork and put it on the wall!"

The eyes of the middle-aged Patriarch trembled, and he turned around immediately, dragging a member of the clan who was still clamoring for his muddy legs, but was now stunned by the momentum in the wilderness, and ran into the gate of the mansion.

The housekeeper who came over to remind me just now took a look at the mud-legged people who had rushed out of the night, their legs trembling, and wanted to turn back but didn't dare to go through the night, and finally swarmed with the people here They squeezed into the gate of the mansion.

In the dark, away from the surrounding villages on the only way to Donghuzhuang, Zhu Yunxi, surrounded by officials such as Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Shangbing, Gao Gaoguang, Pei Benzhi, etc., under the guard of many Jinyi guards, quietly watched the brightly lit Donghuzhuang in front of him.

Gao Gaoguang and Pei Benzhi looked at what was happening in front of them, and felt their hearts tremble.

In the darkness, every step of the people holding weapons and farm tools seemed to be stepping on their chests.

It is almost unheard of for them to encourage the people to do so.

Right now, these people are heading for Donghu Village.

But once the reverence for the laws of the country is opened in the hearts of these people, after tonight, will these people be willing to live with the docile subjects of the court?
In the minds of Pei Benzhi, Gao Gaoguang and others, this question is a question mark.

Zhu Shangbing said in a low voice: "Everything has been arranged, several cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and the place near Donghu Village was covered with blood."

Zhu Gaochi immediately turned his head and looked at Zhu Shangbing. He didn't know that there was such a preparation.

Xiaopang turned his head and glanced at Zhu Yunxi who was standing in front, then his eyes suddenly enlarged, and he turned his head hastily.

Zhu Shangbing whispered: "What are you looking for?"

Zhu Gaochi pushed Zhu Shangbing, and searched behind the crowd.

After working for half a day, Zhu Gaochi took a few deep breaths.

He raised his head and stared at Zhu Shangbing firmly: "Where are those people!"

"Which people?"

Zhu Shangbing pouted, with suspicion on his face.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at the officials behind him from the corner of his eye, and said in a low voice, "You brought people with you tonight, those people you captured from outside the camp!"

Zhu Shangbing's eyes flickered for a moment, and then his whole face became shriveled, and he said indignantly: "The people below are completely useless, and you actually asked those people to run away! Who knows where those people have fled to now... ..."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Shangbing coughed a few times as if his throat was stuck.

Zhu Gaochi's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth: "Why did you do this!"

Zhu Shangbing couldn't answer, so he hummed twice, and turned his head to pay attention to the movement outside Donghu Village.

Xiaopang was so angry that he had nowhere to vent, and his heart was filled with irritability.

Zhu Yunxi turned his head, silently looked at Xiaopang who was secretly angry, and said in a low voice: "Mengzi Teng Wengong said in the next chapter: Punish his crimes, hang his people, and the people are happy when the rain falls."

After hearing these words, the annoyed Fatty blinked his eyes twice, opened his mouth, and finally let out a sigh.

Standing behind the three of them, Pei Benzhi stepped forward lightly, bowed and said, "There is a rumor in the Song Shu Suolu: Xingyun disperses the rain, comforts the thoughts of a severe drought, mourns the people and punishes crimes, and accumulates feelings for the past. Saying: Today the Wei captives are greedy and disregard the righteousness of punishing the people and punishing crimes.

The Henan Province has accumulated evils for a long time, and the people's anger is hidden in the hearts of the people, and the resentment is in the fields. If the resentment accumulates for a long time, it will implicate the society, the court, and the disaster of the country.Today, giving the people a golden weapon to cut down the innocent and punish the guilty can soothe the people's grievances. "

Standing side by side with Pei Benzhi, Gao Guang opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the words that had reached his mouth.

He wanted to say that it is reasonable to hang people and punish crimes, but it is not suitable for this time.

It's just that tonight's affairs have reached the current stage, and talking too much will only cause the emperor's grandson to be displeased, so he simply becomes a silent spectator.

Zhu Yunxi, however, was very satisfied with Pei Benzhi's explanation of his thoughts. He looked at the chubby boy who was still a little gloomy, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "Hang the people and punish crimes to comfort the people. Tonight we also burned it in Henan Road." For the second fire, it depends on where the fire will burn."

Zhu Gaochi didn't say anything, but his eyes turned towards Donghuzhuang.

Those people that Zhu Shangbing picked up outside the camp tonight must have been placed on the only way to Donghuzhuang. As long as those people who came over saw the corpses, they would definitely move the deepest part of their hearts. Anger was also aroused.

He couldn't help but take a few more glances at the brightly lit East Lake Villa in the distance under the starry night.

After tonight, this place will probably be deserted for many years.

……

No one noticed that under the night around Donghuzhuang, those people who were capable in stature, fierce in eyes, thick in arms, calloused in their mouths, and all in their 30s and [-]s had quietly disappeared.

Instead, those people came from the surrounding villages.

The angry people came out of the darkness everywhere, and walked into the bright lights from Donghuzhuang.

More and more people gathered together, and the momentum was huge.

"what is that?"

The people rushing in front of them suddenly expressed doubts and pointed to a black shadow lying on the side of the road.

It seems that the weapons and agricultural tools in the hands have given the people enough sense of security.

Several common people moved towards the black shadow on the ground together.

The crowd behind stopped briefly.

In the dark night, the breathing of the angry people also became quieter.

"It's human!"

"It was the one killed by Donghu Village!"

Suddenly, the people who came forward to investigate roared in unison.

The crowd was completely blown away.

No one tried to find out which village the corpse belonged to.

Everyone felt that there was a mass of anger burning in their hearts, and the anger and resentment accumulated over the years finally broke out completely under the stimulation of blood and corpses.

"Smashed Donghu Manor!"

"Turn over and be the master of the house!"

"Smashed Donghu Manor!"

"Smashed Donghu Manor!"

"..."

In the end, everyone was shouting to smash Donghuzhuang.

And the sound of shouting and killing was also continuously issued around the entire Donghuzhuang, echoing from all over the place.

People began to rush towards Donghuzhuang, which was already close in front of them, regardless of everything.

In their eyes, the brightly lit and brightly lit houses are like mountains pressing down on their bodies, backs, and hearts.

It made them breathless.

In just a split second, the entire houses that have been inhabited for many years around the East Lake Shuizawa were surrounded by angry people.

Swords, dung and forks slashed on the doors of the mansions, making loud bangs.

Some people wanted to climb into those houses through the courtyard wall, so as to vent the anger accumulated in their hearts for many years.

And on the courtyard wall, those children and servants who lived in other families held long bamboo forks in their hands, like spears in the army, and ruthlessly stabbed down at the mud legs trying to climb up outside the courtyard wall. .

The blood stained the white and clean courtyard wall of the noble family, but it was like fuel oil poured on the fire, making the blazing fire even hotter.

boom!
Boom!

In the dark night, several loud noises came from around Donghuzhuang.

The people who had been blocked by the courtyard wall suddenly found that the tall courtyard wall in front of them collapsed suddenly, revealing holes one by one.

"Kill in!"

"Smashed Donghu Manor!"

The common people rushed into the houses around Donghuzhuang from under the collapsed courtyard walls one by one like the tide.

The killing finally came as expected.

The bright lights of Donghuzhuang were gradually dyed red, as if it was a happy day, and every house hung up red lanterns with festive red light.

As time passed, the killing became more and more intense.

Armed with weapons and a large number of people, it is simply not something that those who have enjoyed wealth and wealth for many years in the courtyard of Donghuzhuang can compete with.

Houses were lit one after another, and the fire made the water in East Lake even brighter.

The people of Kaifeng Mansion released their anger to their heart's content, wanting to burn the entire East Lake.

Zhu Gaochi stared blankly at Donghu Village, which had turned from pillars of fire into seas of flames. He had participated in most of the events tonight, and it seemed like a dream to expect all of this to become a reality.

Zhu Yunxi coughed lightly, stretched out his hand to pat Xiaopang on the back, and said in a low voice: "As long as we put the tail in order now, the people here will be loyal to me, Daming, for three generations."

Zhu Gaochi's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice: "The scattered knives and guns need to be taken back, and things that can avoid falling into the mouth must be done."

The matter was irreversible, and the first thing Zhu Gaochi thought of was to try his best to eliminate the possible impact of this matter at the very beginning.

Zhu Yunxi hummed, and looked at Zhu Shangbing who was at the side.

After a while, Zhu Shangbing took people to Donghuzhuang.

In the houses around Donghuzhuang.

When the angry people killed all the visible people in silk and satin, set fire to each room, and emptied each granary, they finally gradually calmed down.

There are no more survivors in Donghuzhuang.

And the people who calmed down finally realized what they did tonight.

"I killed someone?"

"How could I kill someone? Am I going to be beheaded?"

Some people began to panic, looking at the corpses all over the ground, surrounded by rivers of blood, and began to fear the end of tomorrow.

"We kill people who have committed many crimes! The emperor and grandson are here today, and they will definitely help us. Otherwise, where did the swords and guns in our hands come from?"

Suddenly, another young and powerful voice came from the crowd.

The panicked people couldn't help asking subconsciously: "Then what should we do now?"

"The court's swords and guns cannot be kept, they are all lost. Otherwise, if the court asks, can we still betray the emperor grandson?"

"What emperor's grandson? These swords and guns were obviously made by people like Donghuzhuang!"

"Yes! It's these people who conspired against the law and created it privately!"

In the crowd, it seemed that countless people reacted and shouted out their thoughts.

And the people who have been reminded also understand what they should do.

Knives and spears were stuffed into the hands of the Donghuzhuang people lying on the ground, and more weapons were stuffed into the warehouses that had been emptied.

After smashing the people in Donghuzhuang tonight, and they no longer had a weapon in their hands, there was a sound of neat armor coming from outside Donghuzhuang.

Some people who stayed outside came in.

"It's the imperial court's soldiers and horses coming!"

In the courtyards one after another, someone immediately answered the call and shouted loudly.

"It must be the court and His Royal Highness who came down to make decisions for us!"
