Chapter 37 Desperate to be a rogue
"It's over, it's over..."
On the west bank of the canal, the elder horse, who was soaked in the inner body, looked at the smoke from the fire in the distance, and was so scared that his face was bloodless.
On the edge of Lao Ma, officers and soldiers were massacred. Ma Xingui, the initiator of the chaos in the river, was also staring blankly at the distant opposite shore.
The shouts of "Kill officers and soldiers and seek justice" from his ears made him shudder for several consecutive times.
"It's all your fault for being useless! If you don't do it, you can become like this!"
"Do you know you killed a lot of people?"
"God, why did my Ma family have such a bad boy? Villagers, I'm sorry to you!"
“…”
Lao Ma beat his chest and cried. If he knew that his nephew's actions would kill so many people, he would not let him do anything he said!
"I..."
Ma Xingui felt guilty. He didn't know that things would turn out like this and that so many people would die, but he really didn't think too much at that time. He could only blame the few officers and soldiers who bumped into his uncle and nephew for being too greedy.
"What are you? You're so happy to die so many people for some money!" Lao Ma became more and more angry as he thought about it, and he actually raised his hand and slapped his nephew.
Unexpectedly, this slap angered my nephew.
"Enough!"
Ma Xin stamped his feet in a noble manner, "Can you escape if I don't do this?... Besides, I don't know that those damn officers and soldiers dare to kill people randomly!"
"you!"
Lao Ma didn't expect his nephew to dare to contradict him like this, and he was a little stunned for a moment.
The uncle and nephew stared at each other for a while, but the nephews finally became soft.
"Uncle, I know I'm wrong." Ma Xingui lowered his head.
"well,"
Looking at his nephew with his head hanging down, Lao Ma sighed long, "Not to say it's useless, let's go quickly before dawn."
"Okay, let's go home, now we'll go home." Ma Xingui said as he was about to help Lao Ma.
"go home?"
Lao Ma smiled sadly and shook his head: "The river engineer is back, how can we go home!"
"What does the relationship between Hegong's rebellion and us? We didn't. Besides, you are the grain chief, and you won't rebellion if anyone rebelled." Ma Xingui disagreed.
"Bad! Will the government care whether you are rebelling? If I, the grain chief, can the officers and soldiers not let me leave?... It's hard to explain this kind of thing. Even if we go back, the officers and soldiers will come to arrest people, treat us as thieves and accomplices to receive the merits... My stupid nephew, we are all on the book, and they will catch each other accurately!"
Lao Ma has been a grain chief all his life, and the government's morality is the most clear, but especially the officers and soldiers who suppressed the river workers were from other places. I heard from the county that those people were very unreasonable, so I don't know how many people would involve this matter.
"What should I do?"
Ma Xingui's face suddenly changed, and he realized that he was in big trouble. If his uncle said that, then they would die if they escaped.
"I don't know what to do. If you took Mr. Qian and the others back just now, maybe the county can protect us. Now..."
Lao Ma was silent. Even though he had been a grain chief for decades and was respected by the villagers, he could give all kinds of things in all villages, but he was really out of his mind and was very panicked.
Seeing that the old man had no rules, Ma Xingui was really anxious and regretted it.
There was such a big disturbance and so many people died, just because he was reluctant to hand over all the money he got from Wang Si to the greedy soldiers. It was really ridiculous.
However, the world is in a conscience. Ma Xingui just wanted to get people up and run away in the chaos and take advantage of the situation. He didn't expect to break the sky!
"Damn it, if we can't go back, we won't go back. At worst, we will rebel!" Ma Xingui took the initiative, but he had no way to survive anyway.
Lao Ma was shocked by the crazy words that called his nephew and cursed: "Nothing is the nonsense, are you dead when you are an official?"
Ma Xingui snorted: "The bullshit government, the imperial court is almost gone and returned to the government!"
"What?"
Lao Ma was stunned and didn't understand what his nephew meant.
"Uncle, I heard from the soldiers that the bandits in the north have already made trouble, and our Ming Dynasty is about to end... It's almost time to change the dynasty, and this government can still ask us. According to me, we really want to rebel. What is afraid of is his government, and the one who wants to die is his government, but not us!"
The more Ma Xingui said, the more excited he became, the matter that the court was about to be ruined was what Wang Si's cousin Zhao Zhongyi said.
"The court is really...it's really over?"
Although I heard the people in the county vaguely say something about the north, they didn't know the details, so even if Lao Ma knew about it, it was very limited. When he heard what his nephew said so surely, his heart suddenly jumped up.
Yes, if the court is over, the governor's yamen in Huaiyang and the magistrate's yamen will not be able to protect themselves, so they will still care about them?
I suddenly had the idea of being better off than to go against it, but then I thought about it and shook my head: "I don't care about the matter in the north. I only know that the court is not over yet. Those officers and soldiers can't defeat the bandits or the common people? Rebellion is a dead end and cannot survive. You kid will give me some peace!"
"Uncle, you are confused, aren't you?...Anyway, you will die if you don't go back. It's better to invite people to rebel. If the officers and soldiers come to attack us, we will run north!"
"What are you doing?"
"Let's go to the bandits!"
Ma Xingui decided to recruit people to join the bandits and then bring them back with them. See if the Huaiyang government can cut off his head!
Lao Ma's bold idea of calling his nephew was confused. Before he could react, his nephew had already pulled him up and rushed to the group of river workers who had just run over.
When Ma Xingui ran, he looked at Taohuawu, his mouth was raised, and his face looked sympathetic.
What about Lu Wenzong in Shanggang? Isn’t it that fool Lu Si?
Does this fool really think he is Emperor Taizu Zhu? He wanted to fight with the officers and soldiers after he helped the river workers, and he also wanted to invade Huai'an City, so he didn't urinate and take a look!
.........
Taohuawu.
The river workers who rushed to survive and collided with the team of officers and soldiers who rushed over.
There were fighting everywhere, and corpses everywhere.
Under Ren Laojiu's command, hundreds of officers and soldiers firmly controlled the stone bridge leading to the town. No matter how the crowds of river workers hit, the officers and soldiers on the stone bridge were unable to be washed away.
"Jump the river!"
The Xia army, who had red eyes, was the first to jump into the river. With the sound of "thump", hundreds of river workers jumped into the cold river water either from the bridge or from the shore.
"The thief has gone down the river, the thief has gone down the river!"
The officers and soldiers shouted loudly, although they blocked the stone bridge, there were too many river thieves rushing over, and they could not kill them.
What's even more terrible is that the river workers in Shanyang County in Taohuawu are also in chaos and are rushing to the officers and soldiers guarding them.
