Wei Chong didn't think much about it for the time being. He covered the body hastily, calmed down for a while, and then asked Wang the whereabouts of the grain officer. None of the grain soldiers knew. But he was determined to find this guy tonight no matter what, and he would never give up.
Wanting to find another way, he continued to ask the grain soldier: "Do you know where your Shangguan lives?"
The grain soldier responded: "I heard that he is old... His house is in Donkey Skin Alley, but I have never been there, and I don't know which house it is."
After hearing this, Wei Chong smiled with relief, which somewhat relieved Shi Cai's nervousness: "It doesn't matter, we will search from house to house and we will definitely find him."
Secretary Wei had just walked out of the room and was about to mobilize his troops when he suddenly had doubts in his heart. He patted his head, thought to himself, and sat back in the room.
"Why did the clerk change his mind and not go to Wang Liangguan..." The grain soldier felt more and more that this person was an eyesore.
Wei Chong yawned and said, "I'm very tired from all the busy work today. I'm here to guard myself, why don't I send three or five people?"
"It's up to you. If so, a few brothers and I will take care of you." The grain soldier responded impatiently.
"Come in." Wei Chong heard a cough outside the door and waved.
A general opened the door, rolled up the curtains, and bowed in front of Wei Chong: "Wei Secretary, will Wang Liangguan be arrested? I think it's getting late."
Wei Chong rolled his eyes, took his shoulder and said, "Let's go out to discuss."
The two of them ignored the grain officer's expression and walked out.
Wei Chong said to him: "There have just been a few murders here. The people in Granary must have a great hatred for us. If we don't leave a few people here, I'm afraid they will report to the Yamen. This matter is not a small matter, and it is not a big deal.
But after all, it’s just a few human lives, so it’s a big deal.”
"Then I will stay with you," the general said, "and send five or six people to Donkey Skin Alley. What do you think?"
"Since you heard everything, follow my instructions in the room and go down. Also, we can't just arrest Wang Liang Guan. We have to go out and bring more people back."
"Yes." The general nodded first, then frowned, and then asked after thinking: "What do you mean by this...?"
Wei Chong smiled slyly: "A few more people can be used as evidence that Ma Si formed a clique for personal gain."
Suddenly, a few soldiers riding fast horses and holding torches appeared on the streets of Donkey Skin Alley. The alley was filled with dilapidated tile-roofed houses, where most of the poor people lived. Although the Wang Liangguan chose a new residence, his biological mother died of illness.
Soon, he did not dare to move house, so he stayed here with ordinary people as neighbors.
The alley is not wide, and once you enter the arched door, you can only move forward one after another.
Before someone could fall asleep, they heard the clatter of the stone slabs from the horse's hooves on the road. They were upset and opened a crack in the door. When they saw what was happening outside, their eyes widened in horror.
The soldiers didn't like any red tape, so they kicked open the door of the first house, broke in, knocked over the flower pots and clothes poles in the yard, and even knocked down the shed. Finally, they broke open the door of the house and threw the
People who were sleeping inside were pulled out and killed indiscriminately.
They were tied up and taken to the street. Then came the second house, the third house, the fourth house... They broke in one after another, captured several young and strong men, and rashly accused them of being desperadoes.
People, even if their wives, children and mothers cry to heaven and earth, they just kick away their blocking hands.
This Donkey Skin Alley has become a hell on earth. The people ignored the curfew and ran around. Those who dared to resist broke bones and blinded their eyes. Screams and cries kept coming and going. Bloodstains ran from the beginning to the end of the alley. It can be said that
It was so tragic that Wang Liangguan's family could not escape naturally. The soldiers entered the house, stripped off his mourning clothes, and together with more than 20 captured civilians, were put into a prison cart and headed to the prison for custody.
Wei Chong, who was far away in the granary, was so anxious that he didn't sleep all night. He relied on tea to survive until midnight, but there was still no news about Donkey Skin Alley. He was impatient and wanted to go out to make inquiries. When he saw several confidants coming to report in a hurry, they looked happy.
: "Those military lords will gain a lot if they go to Donkey Skin Alley!"
After Wei Chong heard this, he raised his arms and shouted, and burst out laughing uncontrollably, which made the rafters tremble. He jumped three feet high at this moment, and his hands kept shaking. He held tightly to the hands of his confidant.
Collar, asked excitedly: "How many people have been taken!"
"More than twenty..."
"That's not it." Wei Chong, completely immersed in the joy of victory, shook his head briskly, "How many people are there specifically?"
"Twenty...twenty-three." The confidant stammered in reply.
"Haha!" Wei Chong drank a bowl of tea without feeling sleepy at all, "I have to go and take a look, I have to go and take a look...let this bastard Ma Si go to the execution ground tomorrow!"
A group of innocent people walked in front of Ma Si. Most of them were skinny, scarred and lifeless. They were tightly bound by coal-black iron chains waving in the air. Ma Si only looked at them a few times.
Those people were dragged by force and dragged into the dark room; then, his blurry eyes stopped on the triumphant face of Wei Chong.
"What? Ma Chao," Wei Changchong's voice came from the front, "These people testify for you, is that enough?"
Ma Si was stunned. He could not imagine that Wei Chong would reach out to the people, force them to separate their wives and children, and force them to suffer great injustice! The image of shaking iron chains kept appearing in his mind, making a loud buzzing sound.
ring.
"You...how...what did you do..." Ma Si closed his eyes, and countless chains were still flying up and down in front of his eyes.
"How did you do it?" Wei Chong chuckled and lowered his eyebrows seriously: "This is easy to handle. I will treat him as your party member and someone who specializes in fighting for you."
"They are..." Ma Si stopped. He knew that such beastly people would not care about the innocent.
"I have made up confessions for them," Wei Chong then sneered, "Ah, let's just say that they were prisoners on death row elsewhere, because you used your connections to release them without permission to serve you. Furthermore, just listen
You dispatched people everywhere to kill people and set fires to show off your power...and you were responsible for all kinds of crimes. Your life is already in my hands."
"Where's Ma Wu?" He suddenly thought of his younger brother.
"...There is no way to escape death." Wei Chong said easily.
Ma Si was still shocked when he saw a jailer coming out of the cell where the people were detained and reported to Wei Chong: "There are two criminals who were blinded by their eyes and died soon after entering."
Ma Si was just surprised, so he raised his head in grief and anger. Unable to bear the anger anymore, he grabbed the iron railing, his eyes were blood red, and roared at the top of his lungs at Wei Chong: "You bastard! This beast! Sooner or later, you will die without a burial."
land!"
Wei Chong threw the key to the prison guard aside as if nothing had happened, gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how loud you yell, you will be the first to be killed when we get to the execution ground!"
