Li Xing said coldly: "You Minggui, you have arrested the owners of thirty-four alkali noodle mines, and it has only been a month, and five of them have already died in your class room." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info You said you were confused for a while? You're too long! ”

"The inferior gentry smashed the goods of the Li family, and you didn't pay attention to it, and let Diaomin smash the goods of the Li family in the city!"

"Xingguobo collects land from the gentry, and you respond to Diao Min's call to block Xingguobo's alkaline noodles. Thou shalt be sinister with thy intentions, and thy sins shall not be forgiven. ”

"From the moment you turn off the alkaline minerals, you are already a dead man!"

"Someone came, and put You Minggui and his son in the class room for interrogation. As soon as noon arrived, I was escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market to ask for beheading! ”

You Minggui's eyes trembled, and he was so frightened that he urinated in his pants and got wet. His face was white and red, and he crawled on the ground and howled, "General... The general spared my family of three men..."

Before he finished speaking, several soldiers of the Election Regiment picked him up and escorted him into the squad room.

As soon as noon arrived, all the captured prisoners were escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market in the north of the city. The prisoners put wooden planks on their backs, and wrote large dead characters on the boards, and knelt in a long row on the street at the entrance of the vegetable market.

The soldiers of the Election Regiment publicized this beheading in the city, shouting along the streets:

"Xingguobo's army has captured 57 dead criminals in this expedition, and they will be beheaded at noon at the entrance of the vegetable market in the north of the city!"

"Those who commit crimes against the rejuvenation of the country will be punished even if they are far away!"

"The prefect of Xiangyang is especially noble, and he should be beheaded for his crimes! The people of the city can go to the vegetable market to witness the execution. ”

"I rejuvenate the country, Bohu Benshi is disciplined, and I will never make things difficult for the people in the city."

The people in the city saw that this fierce official army had entered the city for a long time and did not do anything to harass the people, and their courage gradually grew. At this time, when they heard that the officials and soldiers were going to execute the prefect of Xiangyang, they couldn't suppress their curiosity one by one, and they all flocked to the entrance of the vegetable market in the north of the city to watch the excitement. By noon, there were three layers inside and three layers outside. Even on the tiled roof of the house next to it, there were many people standing.

The people stood together and talked about it. They inquired about each other, and finally figured out that this strong and disciplined officer army was the army of Tianjin Xingguobo.

The people of Xingguobo have heard of it. Xingguo Bobei exterminated the thieves in the south according to the Tartars, and was the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty. The story of Xingguobo has long been praised by storytellers on the streets and alleys. There are even some opera troupes that compile Xingguobo's experience into operas and sing them in teahouses and taverns.

When Xingguobo's army conquered Zhang Xianzhong, he also passed by Xiangyang!

After figuring out that the official army that broke into the city was Xingguobo's tiger division, the people began to gradually recognize this official army. can let the Xingguo Boxing Division come to attack, this Xiangyang prefect must have done a heinous thing.

The shadow on the sundial shifted little by little, and finally fell on the noon scale.

At noon, Li Xing walked out, looked at the people of Xiangyang, and said loudly: "The people of Xiangyang, this time the place of the Tiger Benshi army went south to Xiangyang, because the prefect of Xiangyang, especially Minggui, colluded with the gentry in a vain attempt to prevent Xingguo from collecting land from the gentry!" ”

Hearing Li Xing's loud shout, the onlookers stopped talking and began to listen to Li Xing.

"Now the country is full of holes, and the thieves have risen again, and they have risen again, precisely because the land endowment borne by the small people is too heavy, and the officials force the people to rebel!"

"By bribing officials, the gentry distorted the Ming tax system and did not pay taxes like rats. Not only do they not pay taxes themselves, but they also accept the contributions of the treacherous Diao people, and they do not pay the land endowment to help other Diao people. ”

"Because the gentry did not pay taxes, the court was impoverished and the people were displaced."

"What Xingguobo wants to kill are these inferior gentry and corrupt officials, who are trying in vain to prevent Xingguobo from collecting land from the gentry."

Hearing Li Xing's words, the onlookers knew why Xing Guobo had come to Xiangyang, and their faces gradually moved. Zhang Xianzhong just raged in Huguang last year, and the people all knew what kind of disaster it was for the thieves to come. The so-called country is in trouble and responsible, and no one will see that the edifice will collapse and remain indifferent.

Although the people in the market themselves are powerless to change the way of the world, Xingguobo has such power. Xingguo Bo is the source of the Qing Yuan Kuang Zheng world, and the people are all recognized.

The citizens standing in the back row who couldn't hear Li Xing clearly anxiously asked the citizens in the front row to find out what Li Xing said. The people in the front row turned around and told Li Xing's words to the people in the back row. Li Xing's words were passed out row by row.

When the citizens spread their words, Li Xingcai said loudly: "In the eyes of corrupt officials and inferior gentry such as the nobles, the small people should be extorted and exploited, and the gentry should be exempted from taxes and servitude, and enjoy the contributions of the people, and get for nothing!" Even if the court can't collect taxes and the country is ruined, they don't mind! ”

"Xingguobo collects taxes from the gentry, and they mobilize the gentry all over the world to smash Xingguobo's commodities and block Xingguobo's raw materials!"

"Therefore, the Tiger Benshi Xing Shi Xing Shi will attack far away and capture and kill the scum of these countries in Xiangyang City!"

"Today, the people of Xiangyang City witnessed the Tiger Benshi killing these inferior gentry and corrupt officials at the entrance of the vegetable market!"

When the onlookers heard Li Xing's murderous words, their faces turned pale and they didn't dare to speak.

Li Xing turned to the executing soldier and shouted, "Prepare to be executed!" ”

The soldiers first pointed their rifles at the gentry and householders who were smashing the shops, and pointed their guns at the back of their heads.

These people felt the cold fire bolt aimed at their heads, and one by one they wept silently. The head of the Huang family shouted loudly: "General, I know that I am wrong, I am willing to compensate the glass shop twice for the loss!" ”

The head of the Zhou family kowtowed and said loudly: "General, I paid for it, I paid for the smashed soap, and I paid for it!" ”

The platoon commander in charge of the execution snorted coldly and said, "You only woke up when our army came out of Tianjin, it's too late!" ”

With a wave of his hand, more than 20 rifles shot bullets, instantly killing the three inferior gentry and their families on the road.

Kill the bad gentleman and the family on the left. The soldiers pointed their rifles at You Minggui, the prefect of Xiangyang Prefecture on the right, his two sons, and more than 20 officials and archers who beat and bullied the owner of the alkali noodle mine.

The rifles were mounted on the heads of these officials, and the officials were so frightened that they couldn't cry, and they kowtowed desperately on the ground one by one, hoping that Li Xing would spare them death.

You Minggui kept kowtowing with tears in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "General, I am an official of the imperial court, don't kill me!" I have accumulated 170,000 taels of family wealth for 20 years as an official, all of which are dedicated to the general, and the general spares my family of three! ”

Li Xing sneered, waved his hand and said, "Execution!" ”

With a snap, a crisp gunshot rang out, and You Minggui was shot in the back of the head, and a blood flower bloomed on his skull. He screamed, his eyes widened, his body tilted, and he collapsed on the bluestone paved road.

Crackling gunshots rang out, and more than 20 corrupt officials and corrupt officials, along with You Minggui's two sons, were all killed in a pool of blood.
