Chapter 022: Hostage Incident
@@@
There has never been a county magistrate like Qin Mu, who suppressed bandits on the way to office, and he had already made remarkable achievements before he took office, although these political achievements were suspected of being a mouse.
If it is during the Chengping period, you will definitely be impeached, and it is estimated that the court will not need you to take office. If it was changed to the period of Zhu Chongba, it would not be strange to let you go directly to the Lord of Yama to take up the post.
But now the world is not good, even the toothless eighty old lady has become an anti-king, and the three-year-old baby dares to stand on the upper hand and pee on his parents' officials, who still has the heart to care if Qin Dazhi County does this is in line with the system?
Moreover, considering that Qin Dazhi's territory is now occupied by bandits, it is understandable that he has such an astonishing move.
When Qin Mu arrived in Ganzhou, because the Huichang rebels were approaching, it was only fifty miles away from the city, and the capital city of Ganzhou was already under martial law, and the four gates were closed.
Qin Mu arrived with more than 100 horses, which made the defenders of the city nervous for a while, and after carefully inspecting his official seal, he was still not at ease, and asked the prefect Yang Tinglin before he dared to open the door and let him enter the city.
Ganzhou City as an important town in southern Gansu, by the mountain and the river, the city wall is as high as more than two zhang, quite majestic, look at the towering.
Due to the spread of bandits in Huichang, the city was flooded with a large number of refugees with their families, and the streets were full of children crying, women weeping, men were sad, and many people's ragged clothes were still stained with blood, unkempt and dirty, and the scene was bleak.
Qin Mu and his entourage passed by, and the refugees on the street begged for them one after another, which was very pitiful.
I finally walked to the front of the government office, and saw that the government had begun to set up porridge shops along the street to give porridge to the refugees, and some of the gentry and wealthy families in the city also set up porridge shops in front of their homes, but for the refugees on the street, these porridge shops were far from enough.
The porridge shop next to the government was crowded with people, crowded together, and although there were soldiers to maintain order, the scene was still very chaotic, and countless refugees were fighting for each other, making noise, shouting and scolding, and crying like a surging tide.
Qin Mu saw a porridge shop holding a flag with the word "Yang", it was actually a young girl with a girl in the porridge, she was wearing a light green silk double-glazed cloud goose palace dress, a white mopping smoke cage plum blossom water skirt, her figure was graceful and moving, although her face was covered with a light veil, her facial features were faintly visible, and her jade nose and cherry lips led people to infinite reverie.
"Everyone comes one by one, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, there is porridge, everyone can get it" There were too many people squeezed up in front of the porridge shop, and even the porridge pot was almost squeezed over, and the young woman kept comforting, her voice was like a yellow warbler, very gentle and beautiful.
Qin Mu noticed this woman, it is not difficult to see from the dress that she is a lady, because of the prevalence of Zhu Cheng's science, women in the Ming Dynasty usually do not go out of the door, and the second door is not stepping, like this is a lady of the family, it is extremely rare to come out to give porridge, so Qin Mu can't help but look at her twice.
Qin Mu arrived at the front of the mansion, and the official guarding the door checked his official seal and was about to lead him in, when there was a sudden chaos at the porridge shop, and some people rushed out of the crowded refugees and overturned the cauldron, and some people shouted in the crowd. "Folks, the officials are all insatiable, scraping the ground, now we can't live, but they don't open a warehouse to release grain for relief, it's unreasonable!"
"That is, they set up these porridge shops to make a show, and if they can save a few people, sooner or later we will all starve to death."
"Folks, there is grain in the warehouse, let's rush in and rob the damn!"
"If you don't rob it, you'll starve to death, rob the fuck!"
“”
In the midst of the chaotic chaos, there were people constantly shouting, trying to stir up the mood of the refugees, and the porridge shops were overturned all at once.
When Qin Mu saw this situation, he couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered his more than 100 people: "Kill me, whoever spreads rumors and causes trouble will be killed!" ”
Meng Ke and the others didn't think much about it, and immediately rushed forward in formation!
Qin Mu knew that most of them were rebel spies who had infiltrated the city, wanting to incite civil unrest in order to seize Ganzhou City.
At this moment, there are at least five or six thousand people in front of the government, and once the chaos breaks out, it will soon affect tens of thousands of refugees in the city, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
At the same time, he also knew that killing people was not enough, and while he was rushing, he let more than 110 people shout in unison: "Folks, this is a traitor who has infiltrated the city to spread rumors, the purpose is to make everyone chaotic, they should cooperate with the outside and capture Ganzhou City." Folks, you must not fall for the rebels, once the rebels enter the city, they will kill you, **Your wives and daughters, folks, don't be fooled. ”
"Now the folks don't mess up, squat down! Squat down, anyone who doesn't listen to the order will be regarded as a spy shooting, folks! Get down! ”
Qin Mu more than 100 people formed a heavy formation, the knife out of the sheath, the arrow on the wind, step by step, the people in front of them were forced by this dignified momentum, looking at the cold arrow, they all squatted down in horror according to their shouts, thousands of refugees are like the wind blowing through the wheat waves, wave after wave of dwarf;
The rest of the spies were still foaming at the mouth, Meng Ke and the others were no longer merciful, and immediately shot with a bow, and for a moment the blood splashed, and the nearby people screamed in fright, and some couldn't stand the fright, and the whole person fell to the ground; Some were so frightened that they got up and dodged, rushing around, seeing that the scene was about to be chaotic again.
Qin Mu immediately asked his subordinates to follow and shouted: "Don't move, squat!" Get down! Whoever runs around again will be killed! Get down! Get down! ”
At this critical moment, several strong men rushed into the porridge shop, they did not choose those officials who were in charge of soup porridge, but chose the veiled young girl and a few maids next to her, the dagger was put on the necks of several women, and shouted at Qin Mu: "Come over again, I will slaughter this little girl, this is the daughter of the prefect!" Stay back! Stay back! ”
These people probably didn't expect the scene to be controlled by Qin Mu so quickly, and they had already revealed their identities when they loudly incited the people, so they had no choice but to take hostages in order to get out.
"The prefect's daughter? The prefect's daughter is a fart! Qin Mu sneered as he led people to force up, and the squatting people climbed away one after another to make way for them.
At this time, officers and soldiers from all sides hurried over, swords and guns were pressed around the refugees, and the scene was really under control.
"Don't come here! Come here again, I'll kill her! The big man who held the girl hostage had a hideous face, and when he saw Qin Mu wearing a seven-grade official uniform and approaching step by step with a strong hand, he roared while holding the girl hostage and retreating into the crowd.
"Do you know who I am? This official is the new Huichang Zhixian, all the way from Nanchang Mansion to suppress thieves, how can this official compromise with the thief, isn't it a prefect's daughter? Compared with thousands of people, what is the daughter of a prefect? If you have the courage to kill, if you want to leave, there is no way! ”
"I really slaughtered her, you come over again, I really slaughtered her!" The spy yelled with a fierce look.
"Zai! You're a fucking slaughter! "I don't want Qin Mu to roar more dangerously, the sound is like thunder!
After two months of desperate training and suppressing bandits, Qin Mu was even harder than the physical training of the recruits in later generations before they joined the army, and now he is no longer the powerless scholar in Nanjing City, and he is quite arrogant.
The spy was forced by him to step back, and his hand trembled slightly because he was nervous or difficult to decide, and the bright dagger cut the skin of the girl's neck, and the blood dripped down little by little, and the girl screamed in fright.
When the spy retreated, he could not care about his feet, and stepped on a round wooden stick, and his body staggered. Qin Mu seized this fleeting opportunity and rushed forward, and the long knife stabbed out suddenly.
"Poof!" With a bang, the blade pierced deeply into the chest of the spy, and the spy's eyes were wide open, and he didn't believe that Qin Mu really disregarded the safety of the hostages and brazenly stepped forward to kill;
He fell to the ground in a daze, the young girl was too frightened, her feet were weak, and she was about to fall down, Qin Mu copied her left hand, hugged her slender waist and hugged the person.
Seeing that the hostage-taking was ineffective, several spies next to him gave up the hostages, ran away, and the bowstring sounded a few times, and they all died tragically under the arrows.
A group of officials who rushed out of the government office looked at this scene, and they were all a little stunned, probably no one thought that the spies would dare to mix into the government yamen to incite the people to riot.
In fact, it is not that the spies are stupid, on the contrary, it is the officials of the Ganzhou Mansion who are too stupid to give porridge in the open space in front of the government.
Once the spies succeed in incitement, they can directly impact the government and kill the chief officials of Ganzhou.
