After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 88
"Mr. Yan, we have been thinking about you all the time, and now we can finally reunite." Jiang Qi said with a smile.

Yan Ermei's heart was surging, and she couldn't hide her excitement.He separated from Xie Qian and wanted to go directly south to Zichuan, but the Qing army blocked him tightly, so he couldn't get through, so he had to transfer to Jiyang, but he got sick again, so he found a scholar's home to recuperate.

In the end, he didn't expect that this former junior would betray him and offer him to the Qing court in exchange for a reward of 1000 taels of silver.

"There are so many people who study, it's really chilling." Yan Ermei sighed.

But Jiang Qi said with a smile: "Mr. Yan, these days, Qian has been telling us who to rely on and which side to stand on. If we only focus on scholars, I'm afraid there will be no way out. But if Looking around the world, people with lofty ideals are like crucian carp crossing the river. Take this time as an example, Qian Qianyi focused on collecting food and salaries, and wanted to destroy us. But he neglected the officials and servants under him. As the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. For an extremely stupid official like Qianyi, this Jinan mansion is almost like a sieve. Some people betray Mr. Yan, and some people let him go, isn't it just right!"

Yan Ermei couldn't help laughing when she heard this, her mood improved a lot in an instant, and then she sighed: "Hearing this, Mr. Zhu's realm has improved again. With him in command, you have a bright future and a lot to do!"

Jiang Qi smiled and sighed: "In fact, in the past, I didn't believe that with a few people and a few knives, I could deal with the Qing court. Wouldn't that be courting death? But now I have some experience. The Qing court is in great trouble. Next There are so many people here, it’s a mess. They’re going against the grain, staking land, shaving their hair and changing clothes, and doing unpopular things. As long as they can unite and unite more and more common people, one day, they will be strong and weak reversed."

Yan Ermei nodded again and again. Before, Jiang Qi would never be able to say such a reasonable thing. Now it seems that even Zhu Yiyuan's level has risen.

"By the way, Brother Jiang, I'll just come out like this, nothing will happen, right?"

Jiang Qi laughed loudly, "Don't worry, I don't like doing it anyway, it's just right to go out of town, we'll accept it."

Jiang Qi wasn't worried at all, as soon as Yan Ermei came out, the prison in Jinan Mansion caught fire.

Moreover, the inside and outside were burned together, and within a short while, the blazing flames and thick smoke swallowed up the prison.

It was Luo Yi and Wang Huan who set the fire. Seeing the fire, the two boys happily found Hu Laotou.

"Don't worry, we have prepared a pig, put it on your clothes, and have a badge. When the fire is extinguished, they will just think you died in the line of duty."

Hu Baotou was a little satisfied, but he quickly opened his eyes again, "What's the matter with you? Is it difficult to get a corpse? I'm really mad at me for fooling around with a pig."

Luo Yi curled his mouth, "Just save yourself, it's not worth it for you, hurry up and go with us!"

The two dragged Hu Lao's head and went directly into the back kitchen of Huixian Building.

In the afternoon, Luo Yi even made a pot of tea, drank tea with Wang Huan, and listened to the discussions of the diners... He rescued a key criminal from the prison in the provincial capital, and set a fire. Drink tea and listen to the news here.

There is no sense of tension and urgency at all, isn't this too unreasonable?

Even if it is a Liangshan hero to save someone, the whole gang must come here, and then take a knife and fight hard, and then they can break through smoothly. Why is the situation different when it comes to Jinan Mansion?

Luo Yi and the others gradually understood that this guy Qian Qianyi had deducted a lot of salaries from the government servants as soon as he came up. He felt that these subordinates had a way to be greedy for money, and they would not starve to death if they were not paid.

This is true, the people below didn't starve to death, but they don't have to do anything!
When the fire came together, all the big guys ran away, who cares about the fire!

After more than an hour, the yamen servants came late, but they didn't bring the water truck, and they just watched the prison burn to rubble.

Many prisoners escaped in the chaos.On the side of the Qing army, they quickly sent people around to search and arrest them.

When Qian Qianyi heard about it, he rolled his eyes angrily and almost passed out.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, if I do this to the old man, I will immediately have someone thoroughly investigate what is going on.

In the end, the big guy found a piece of black charcoal, and next to the black charcoal, there was a half-burnt waist card, which could be vaguely seen as belonging to Hu Laotou.

"Old Hu, you are so pitiful! The old woman just died last year, and this year she was burned to death again. When you go underground, no one burns paper for you. God, why don't you give people a way to survive!"

Others always feel that the piece of black charcoal in front of them is a bit too solid. After all, Lao Hu is skinny and not so big. Could it be that people will become fat after being burned?
Don't think about it yet, one of the jailers said excitedly: "Brothers, we may be able to explain Lao Hu's death."

"How to explain?"

The jailer said: "Lao Hu's mother-in-law died at the hands of the Eight Banners soldiers. He was full of resentment. The purpose of setting the fire this time was to avenge the imperial court. It was all Lao Hu's doing."

A few people looked at each other, and that was all they could do.

Anyway, Lao Hu has no relatives, no matter how many scapegoats he bears, he will be fine.

This group of people really reported it like this.

Hu Yide, the head of the cell, hated the imperial court and often uttered bad words. Unfortunately, his wife was killed, so he took revenge and set fire to the prison.

What about Hu Yide?

Burnt to death, all that remained was an illegible skeleton.

perfect!

"Damn it, these grandsons, I'm all dead, and they still put shit on me, what a bastard! I'm going to kill them one by one." Hu Yide was furious.

But Luo Yi persuaded: "It's good, you can start again now, and the brothers in the prison are also relieved. In a few days, we will be able to leave the city."

Hu Yide gritted his teeth, and suddenly said: "I heard that your military discipline is strict. I'm afraid I'm not used to it, so give me 1000 taels of silver. I want to go back to my hometown and marry a wife. It's best to have a son, pass on the family line, and continue our Hu Yide. Home incense."

Luo Yi blinked, "We can't decide on this, we have to meet him, but I think he should be able to agree."

Everything seemed to be like this, but at night, Hu Yide was restless. He found an old chef's clothes, put them on, and secretly went to his original residence. reluctant.

Hu Yide sneaked out of the alley, and saw a figure shaking from a long distance away.There were men, women and children, all of them were sad, and some were sobbing softly.

Hu Yide was so frightened that he didn't dare to come directly, so he could only make a detour to the other side and approach quietly. Through a wall, he heard the comments of the villagers.

"Hu Laotou, relying on the power of the yamen, you have bullied the folks a lot, kicked the scrolls, beat this and scolded that, you are dead now, the big guy comes over and burns paper for you, you go all the way, when you get there , feel at ease, eat and drink."

"As long as the big guy is still alive, he won't forget you... You're so damn brave, you set fire to the dog's prison, so happy! You're a good guy! You're a man!"

"Uncle Hu, no matter what you say, you died on account of the crimes of the Tartar court. The big guys are all little reptiles and dare not fight against the Qing dog. You are our hero! I accept it!"

……

Neighbors kept chanting, throwing handfuls of yellow paper into the fire.

Hu Yide was listening in the opposite corner, he heard Aunt Han's cry, and he also heard Xiao Zhang's muttering in the car dealership. The neighbors who couldn't eat even burned paper for him, so that he could live a good life in the underworld.

Anyway, Goutarzi's prison is full of good people, and this fire set him free, and tore Gouttarzi's face off.

Lord Hu!

You are doing well!

Is a good man.

Until midnight, Hu Yide returned to the Huixian Building with red eye circles and dragged his tired body.After another two days, I was finally able to leave Jinan Mansion.

"Brother Luo, and little brother Wang, tell me, can someone like me do something useful?"

Luo Yi frowned, "What's useful?"

"It's about resisting the Qing Dynasty." Hu Yide gritted his teeth and said, "I have nothing, and now I'm a dead man. With this breath, I want to fight the Tartars!"
