Chapter 135: 2. Fighting for Land
The place where the incident happened was not in Maozhou, but in the territory of Zizhou, east of Maozhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The hometown of Qi He'er, one of the twelve uncles of Maozhou City, is here, although Qi He'er is not an official eunuch, but it is also a wealthy family, with thousands of fertile fields and a sauce garden handed down by his ancestors, and his life is quite nourishing. As the second son of the family, Qi Heer has preferred martial arts since he was a child, and does not like to fiddle with the farm economy, so he still joined the army at the age of 20 and slowly climbed to the uncle.
But this piece of fertile land in his family was targeted by one person, that is, Zizhou was too guarded to be single.
Speaking of this Shan Kecheng, he has a lot of origins, his servant shot Han Kemin's grandson, and the Empress Dowager Li, who was in power back then, was also Han Kemin's granddaughter, so Shan Kecheng's background can be said to be very deep, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's party, Shan Kecheng would definitely not be just a small Zizhou Taishou now.
The strange thing is that after the fall of the Empress Dowager Li's party, Shan Kecheng did not suffer much impact, and there are two main reasons for this, the first is that Shan Kecheng has not been treated well by Han Kemin, so when the Empress Dowager's party fell, he was just a small Langzhou Taishou, and he was not even qualified to meddle in the affairs of the Empress Dowager's party with foreign countries; The second is that although this Shan Kecheng is not a rich school, he has some prestige among the literati, so there are many people who protect him, and Liu Yan doesn't want to expand the matter, so Shan Kecheng escaped.
After that, Shan Kecheng worked in Langzhou for nine years, although he did not have much political achievements, but his official reputation was actually not bad, so the imperial court transferred him to Zizhou Taishou, nominally at the same level, but Zizhou is much richer than Langzhou.
Not long after Shan Kecheng took office, he set his sights on the Qi family's fertile land, and Shan Kecheng proposed to buy the land at a high price, but the Qi family was unwilling to sell their ancestral property. Originally, this matter would have ended here, who knew that Shan Kecheng didn't know where to listen to the words of a warlock, saying that the Qi family's fertile land had excellent feng shui, and if it was occupied by the Qi family, it would be the official fortune of Shan Kecheng. So Shan Kecheng went to negotiate with the Qi family several times, and he was sure to buy the land, and finally the price was increased to ten times the original price, but the Qi family was unwilling to live or die. This finally annoyed Shan Kecheng, he found a broken household to fight a lawsuit with the Qi family, and he blindly favored the Qi family in the lobby and put the Qi family in prison. The Qi family was not convinced, but Shan Kecheng had already finished the up and down points, and he must avenge this arrow. Finally, the Qi family relented and obediently handed over the ancestral land, and then fished out the master.
Who knew that the head of the Qi family vomited blood and died in less than ten days after he was released from prison, and the Qi family could blow up the pot, they agreed that it was Shan Kecheng who secretly killed the head of the family, and they jointly signed hundreds of villagers and prepared to go to Beijing to sue the emperor. Shan Kecheng had been guarding against them for a long time, and before they left the territory of Zizhou, they were killed by the killers disguised as thieves sent by Shan Kecheng.
The Qi family was desperate, so they thought of Qi He'er, although he was only a small uncle, but no matter how he said it, he could be regarded as an officer of the imperial court, and even if there was a glimmer of hope, he had to hand over the paper. They tossed and turned for many days before entrusting a kind villager to Maozhou with their family letter to ask for help. Who knew that when he arrived in Maozhou, he knew that Qi Heer had just been beheaded by Wang Hanxin for dereliction of duty, and the villager saw that things were hopeless, so he hugged his head and cried.
This cry made Wang Hanxin cry. After understanding the cause and effect of the incident, Wang Hanxin was furious, and immediately sent those orphans he brought, disguised themselves and sneaked into Zizhou overnight, grasping the direct evidence of what Shan Kecheng had done, and then ordered 300 soldiers to go straight to Zizhou City in the starry night.
Due to his rapid march, Shan Kecheng didn't even hear the slightest rumor, and when he got up early in the morning, he found that the entire Zizhou City was already under Wang Hanxin's control. By the time he was summoned to the lobby to be questioned by Wang Hanxin, Shan Kecheng had not yet eased up. In the face of all the evidence listed by Wang Hanxin, Shan Kecheng trembled and could hardly stand until Wang Hanxin broke off and shook him to the ground.
"Single! You are so bold, you dare to declare personal vendettas, encroach on the land of innocent and good people, and collude with bandits to kill good people without authorization! What is the difference between your behavior and that of a robber? Do you still have the face to call yourself an official of the imperial court, a gentleman of the clear stream? I think you're a corrupt official with a lust for profit! ”
In the face of Wang Hanxin's loud reprimand, Shan Kecheng wiped the sweat on his face and replied: "I was blinded by the Jianghu warlocks for a while, and I wanted to get this feng shui treasure, I really deserved to die, but ??????"
"Sin deserves death, doesn't it? Well, that's what I'm going to want from you! It is enough to apologize for one's sins without ten thousand deaths. Wang Hanxin didn't wait for him to finish before interrupting Shan Kecheng's words.
"My lord! This, this, where does this begin? The lower official is indeed guilty, but the crime is not death, even if he commits a capital crime, no matter how he says it, the lower official is also an official appointed by the emperor, even if he is guilty, he should be sent to Chang'an and handed over to the emperor to send it down! ”
Wang Hanxin sneered and said, "Leave it to the emperor?!" Do you think Ben is not qualified to deal with you? I tell you, your sins are monstrous! Is there anything more sinful than shaking the country at all? You have invaded people's land, disregarded people's lives, killed innocents indiscriminately, and all of them are poisoning our people! The people are the foundation of the world, and by doing so, you are shaking the foundation of the world! Send you to the emperor, the emperor must cut you with a thousand knives! But your luck is that I won't be able to wait that long. Qi Heer is my subordinate, and he is the one who contributes to the national defense! You killed his family and occupied his land, that is shaking my military heart! I don't care what other crimes you have committed, what the emperor will do with you, you just can't touch my people! Today I want your head! ”
Shan Kecheng was so frightened by Wang Hanxin's momentum that he retreated again and again, and shouted with trembling in his mouth: "Wang Hanxin, you can't do this!" You, you killed the court officials without authorization, this, this is equivalent to rebellion! ”
Wang Hanxin jumped up when he heard this, came to Shan Kecheng in a few steps, grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, and said: "You scum of the court, you dare to make a big statement, it seems that you don't need a knife and axe, I will reward you with a face and kill you with my own hands!" ”
"Wang Hanxin, you can't do this! I'm nothing compared to other officials! I serve as an official for the benefit of one party, I ??????"
Before Shan Kecheng's words were finished, Wang Hanxin's sword had already been inserted into his heart. Wang Hanxin pressed his face and said: "If there are corrupt officials in this Shannan Province who are darker than you, I will not let any of them go!" You go to Hades and register them, and it won't be long before they'll be looking for you!" ”
After saying this, Wang Hanxin flipped his wrist, took out Shan Kecheng's entire heart, and then used it to sacrifice the victims of Qi He'er's family with his blood.
Wang Hanxin's move caused an uproar in the country of silk, but the news had already reached Maozhou City before it reached Chang'an. The garrisons in the city were all impressed by Wang Hanxin after hearing the news, although they were afraid that they would be beheaded by Wang Hanxin like the thirteen officers, but through this incident, they understood that as long as they followed Wang Hanxin, they would be like having a backer, and Wang Hanxin would stand up for them if something happened. So the first effect of this incident was that the army of Maozhou City changed from fear of Wang Hanxin to awe.
