"You don't know where the victims have gone?" Li Hao furrowed his eyebrows when he heard this, and sneered, "Fan County Order, your county order is not bad." ”

"The lower official is guilty." Fan Chao had nothing to say, he could only admit his mistake, cold sweat was dripping down his forehead, and none of the officials below dared to speak, and they were all silent.

Li Hao smacked his lips and said leisurely: "Since you don't know where the victims have gone, then what do you know, tell me everything you know." ”

"Yes." Fan Chao said, "When the snow disaster first appeared, there were indeed many victims outside the city, about nearly 10,000 people, and the lower officials opened a warehouse for relief, and the victims were stable, but for some reason, after a few days, the lower officials found that the victims were much less, and the lower officials did not care about it at first, and after two days, they found that all the victims outside the city were all gone. ”

"All gone?" Li Hao was stunned.

"Yes, all of them, none of them." Fan Chao nodded.

Li Haohu looked at him suspiciously, then looked at the other officials, and asked coldly, "What Master Fan said is the truth?" ”

The officials nodded yes one after another, and their words proved that Fan Chao had not lied.

Li Hao also felt that Fan Chao's appearance didn't look like he was lying, frowned and thought about it, and asked, "Then have you sent someone to look for it?" ”

Fan Chao said: "Back to the Hou Ye, the lower officials naturally sent people to look for it, nearly 10,000 disaster victims, this is not a trivial matter, but there are not enough people in the county government, and the lower officials can't call all the people out, and in the end they still haven't found it, the lower officials have reported this matter to Lord Qin in Dingzhou, but Lord Qin has not responded." ”

"Oh? Did you report? Li Hao looked at Fan Chao with shining eyes.

Fan Chao nodded: "Yes, the lower official has already reported." ”

Li Hao touched his chin and pondered, things are getting more and more strange, 10,000 victims suddenly disappeared, Fan Chao has already reported the matter to Qin Miao, but Qin Miao did not report the matter to him, 10,000 victims, this is not a joke, do you want to ask Qin Miao when you go back......

Li Hao pondered for a long time, and decided not to ask Qin Miao, if Qin Miao deliberately concealed it, he would naturally have an excuse to push it, he could completely say that all the victims had come to Dingzhou City, anyway, there were fifty or sixty thousand victims outside Dingzhou City, and Li Hao couldn't find out.

While Li Hao was muttering, Fan Chao continued: "Master Hou, the lower officials still have something to report. ”

"Say."

Fan Chao said: "It seems that there have been mobs in Anping, because when the lower officials sent people to search for those victims, they passed by some villages and found that many villages had been ransacked, and all the rich and large families in the villages had died and their homes were ransacked. ”

"How can such a thing happen?" Li Hao was shocked when he heard this, and sure enough, the problem he was most worried about before appeared, a mob, a product of natural disasters, but he immediately found something strange.

Since Fan Chao has already opened a warehouse to release grain, why do the victims of Anping County still start a riot, this logic does not make sense, unless...... Someone fanned the flames.

Li Hao slowly closed his eyes, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he began to imagine himself as a leader of a force who wanted to start a rebellion, how to use natural disasters to incite the victims and start a riot.

Li Hao thought for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Master Fan, who has been preaching in Dingzhou or near Anping County in recent years?" ”

Li Hao's question was a bit out of the ordinary, Fan Chao was stunned, then thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No one is preaching here." ”

"No one to preach?" Li Hao frowned and groaned, in his experience, if you want to incite the people to riot, the best way is to preach, there are many examples in history of taking the mission as the foundation, and then launching a rebellion, among which there are failures, and there are successes, the typical failure is the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the successful model is the White Lotus Sect, but the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect were finally seized by Zhu Yuanzhang The fruits of the uprising.

There is also a typical example of half success and half failure, that is, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, why it was half successful and half failed, because their uprising succeeded, but only took half of the country, and it only lasted for 14 years.

Historical experience tells Li Hao that if you want to rebel, proselytizing is definitely a good way, but Fan Chao said that there was no one around to preach, which made Li Hao a little confused, and he didn't understand which link was wrong for a while.

At this moment, Chen Song suddenly reminded: "Young Master, Shibao Village...... Will it be dangerous? ”

Li Hao was suddenly shocked when he heard this, yes, when they came, Shibao Village was not ransacked, and Chen Song's father-in-law and mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law were still there, Li Hao hurriedly said: "Let's go to Shibao Village early tomorrow morning and take your father-in-law's family to the city first." ”

"Okay." Chen Song nodded.

Li Hao ate dinner with a full stomach, then went to bed to rest, and set off with people early the next morning to Shibao Village.

Li Hao was taken aback, got out of the carriage and shouted, "Come into the village!" ”

Five hundred Zuo Xiaowei immediately rode out and ran towards the village, and a figure came first, like a gust of wind, and ran to the front, it was Chen Song, although he usually dragged and cool, but at this moment the old man's family was in danger, and he rushed faster than anyone else.

The team rushed into the village, only to see that the village was in chaos, the only five families in the village seemed to be experiencing a catastrophe, many people were moving things from the inside to the outside, as long as anyone resisted, it was a violent beating, these people were all armed with sticks, wearing shabby clothes, it seemed that they were the victims, no, now they are mobs.

There are two large families in the village who have hired some strong nurses, a dozen in total, plus the men of the big family, a total of more than 30 people, who are now wielding farm tools to fight with the mob, and there are many people lying on the ground, all of them have broken heads, motionless, and do not know whether they are dead or alive.

The number of mobs is not much, about sixty or seventy, but this is definitely enough for the villagers of Shibao Village.

Chen Song had already rushed forward, pulled out his sword and waved, a human head flew up, blood sprayed like rain, Li Hao exclaimed when he saw this: "Chen Song, don't kill people!" "This group of people is a mob, they were originally disaster victims, they are ordinary people, Li Hao wants to know why they became like this, so he asked Chen Song not to kill, anyway, five hundred Zuo Xiaowei have already arrived, this group of mobs can't run, it's better to keep alive than a corpse."

Chen Song was stunned when he heard this, and immediately stopped, and put the sword into the sheath, the action was very cool, and the mob also found that a cavalry team of hundreds of people was fast coming, and they were all frightened and stopped one after another.

Li Hao's carriage finally arrived, he jumped out of the carriage, walked closer, glared and shouted: "All throw away the equipment, kneel!" ”

At this time, a neatly dressed leader rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Don't listen to him, if you are caught by the government, there is only one way to die!" You have committed a great sin! ”

When the mob heard this, they brandished their sticks again and killed Li Hao.

Li Hao pointed at the leader of the shouting and said loudly: "Chen Song! Kill him! ”

Chen Song didn't say a word, he rushed over directly, and drew his sword with a "bang", and the leader was suddenly split in half, and his viscera was sprinkled all over the ground, and in such a cold weather, it was constantly hot.

Chen Song's extremely cruel killing methods frightened all the mobs, Li Hao strode forward and shouted coldly: "If anyone dares to move again, the end will be the same as him!" ”

All the mob were so frightened that they threw away their sticks and fell to their knees.

Li Hao ordered them all to be tied up, Chen Song had already rushed towards Jin Laohan's house, after a while, Chen Song led Jin Laohan's family over, fortunately, although Jin Laohan's house was newly repaired, it didn't look too rich, there were only three mobs banging on the door outside the house, and their family hid at home with a table and wooden sticks against the door, the three mobs failed to break in, but Mrs. Jin and the two children were scared.

Jin Ling'er saw that her parents and younger brother had no accidents, so she was so excited that she hugged her parents and cried, she was also frightened, for fear that something would happen to her family.

After a while, all five families in the village came over, kowtowed to Li Hao and thanked him, Li Hao waved his hand and said: "You all get up, you don't have to be like this, you hurry up and clean up at home, bring the money and grain, and follow me to the county seat later, this village can't stay." ”

The five families were grateful and hurried back to pack their luggage.

The lieutenant came to report that all the mob had been tied up, and in the courtyard of Ding Dahu's house, sixty-eight people, plus seven dead, made a total of seventy-five.

Li Hao nodded, turned around and followed the captain to see the group of mobs, now he had to ask why this group of people wanted to be mobs, was it really desperate.

Although the mob was captured, Ding Dahu's family still shrank in the main hall, not daring to come out, only daring to look out secretly.

Li Hao walked into the courtyard and walked around the group of mobs, and found that although the clothes on the mob were shabby, they were not very dirty, and these people had clean hands and faces, and they all looked very good, not like refugees at all.

Li Hao looked in the crowd for a long time, and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-old boy, who was trembling all over his body at the moment, obviously very scared, what Li Hao was looking for was a coward who was afraid of death, he pointed to the young man, and said coldly: "You come here." ”

The half-grown boy suddenly felt like a lightning strike, trembling like a sifting chaff, and said in a trembling voice: "Official, official, I don't dare...... I don't dare anymore...... Don't kill me......"

Li Hao said coldly: "If you don't come again, I'll let the one with the sword split you in half now!" ”

The young man hurriedly got up when he heard this, but under excessive fright, he had no strength in his body, his legs were weak, and he walked straight, Li Hao stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, and held him in his hand, as if carrying a chicken, and carried him into the main hall, in the main hall, Ding Dahu's family members were all frightened and hid inside, Li Hao threw the young man to the ground, turned his head and said to Ding Dahu's family: "You all go outside, this official wants to interrogate the prisoner here!" ”

"Yes!" Ding Dahu hurriedly ran out with his family.

Li Hao closed the door with his backhand, slowly paced in front of the young man, and asked, "What is your name and where do you live?" Who else is in the family? ”

"Little ...... The villain's name is Wang Ergou, his home is in Lushui Village, Laishui County, and he has a father and an elder brother at home, but he has suffered a heavy snowstorm, and now his home is gone, and his father and brother are kneeling in the courtyard. ”

"Laishui County?" Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned, "Laishui County is in Yizhou, four or five hundred miles away from here, how can you come here?" ”
