874, The Destruction of the Eight Imperial Merchants Six
"Open his mouth." Hong'er stood up and said expressionlessly.
"Let us father and son go, and I will give you half of the family property." The old man said in a hissing voice. The veins on his neck popped out, and he roared with red eyes.
"Half of the family property is really a lot." Hong'er said quietly. "No matter how much money I have, can I get my parents back?"
The old man trembled and said: "The past has passed and cannot be repeated. Whatever you want, you can ask for it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely grant it to you."
"Your Chu family is the only hegemon in this area. How many people died because of your family's destruction, how many people starved to death, and how many people were pushed into the pit of fire by you." Hong'er's voice was as cold as ice. "You people,
What I read is the book of sages. Confucius always talked about the word benevolence all his life. How have you ever had a little bit of kindness? Even if you are asked to rob less and let the people live, you will not do it. Your books all read "dog"
It’s gone in the stomach.”
The Chu family father and son lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Their bodies were still trembling.
"When you bully others, you are cruel and cruel. When it is your turn to have a steel knife held to your neck, you are scared to death."
Zhuzi saw that Hong'er's face was distorted, and something was not right. He couldn't help but whisper: "Sir, the person has been arrested. It's up to you to deal with it. After all, we have to rush to Zhanghuan. It's not good to stay here for too long.
"
"Blow the gong and summon the people," Hong'er said.
With the sound of gongs, the people were driven out of their homes. Everyone looked at these masked men in black armed with swords, guns and firecrackers in horror.
"Dear elders, we are all heroes of Qingfeng Mountain. We have no grievances against anyone, so there is no need to be afraid. The Chu family father and son have offended our head. They sent us down the mountain to avenge us. If you have any grievances, report them all.
.Today, I have to complain and take revenge." A man in black behind Hong'er shouted loudly.
There was a commotion among the people, but no one dared to speak.
Hong'er turned her head and said to Zhu Zhu: "Take their usury loan notes and burn them in front of everyone."
Then, several people carried out several boxes from inside the gate.
A man in black opened the box, took out an IOU and began to read aloud. "Wang Sanxiao, I borrowed 500 yuan in the 46th year of Wanli... so far, the total principal and interest are 25 taels of silver."
"Chen Doufu, I borrowed five buckets of wheat in the third year of Tianqi's reign...the total principal and interest are seventeen buckets and three buckets of wheat."
Every time I read an IOU, someone below me trembled. Their children and grandchildren cannot repay these debts to the King of Hell.
After reading hundreds of IOUs at once, Hong'er waved her hand to signal that she didn't need to read them anymore.
"It's all burned."
There was a buzzing sound below, like a pot exploding.
The people suddenly started crying and howling. These heavy debts weighed them down like a huge mountain.
Seeing these debt documents being thrown into torches by these mountain kings, they were burned into torches.
It feels like my whole body is relaxed all of a sudden.
Once the IOU is burned, there is no longer a voucher and there is no need to pay it back.
Even if you file a complaint with the government, the government will rely on the IOU as proof.
"Bring all the slaves' deeds and release them all," Hong'er said.
After Zhuzhu and the others got in, they first knocked down all the people in the courtyard with poison. Then they tied up more than 70 nursing staff and put the servants, maids and maidens into custody.
The slaves in this manor are all children of local families who are in debt.
"Burn all the deeds and cancel them. You will each return to your home from now on, and you will no longer suffer the pain of slavery." Hong'er said.
Then all the deeds were burned to the ground.
The Chu family father and son were so distressed that they almost bled. Their eyes were red.
But all this is not over yet.
"Take out the Chu family's field deeds and house deeds and burn them. From now on, the house you live in is yours. The land you farm does not need to be rented to the Chu family anymore," Hong'er said.
The Chu family father and son almost went crazy. This was going to destroy the foundation of the Chu family. Land is the greatest wealth in this era. They struggled and cursed desperately.
Every time a document was burned, it was as if a heavy burden was lifted from the people. The people gradually became crazy and danced to express their excitement. Some whole families kowtowed to these mountain kings, and some cried and were satisfied.
Rolling on the ground.
Hong'er looked at the people who were almost going crazy and shouted loudly: "You have been bullied by the gentlemen of the Chu family for generations. Today, you have grievances and revenge. The Chu family, father and son, and their scoundrels will be left to you to deal with."
"
The men in black pushed the Chu family father and son, who were tied up, and more than seventy thugs and servants into the crowd.
The crowd suddenly seemed to explode. An old woman rushed out of the crowd and grabbed the old man of the Chu family. Five blood marks were left on his face.
"You old beast, please pay back my daughter's life."
The people rushed up like crazy. Countless big feet kicked up and countless fists were struck.
Hong'er watched all this silently and remained silent for a long time.
The situation was completely out of control, and the long-suppressed anger of the people erupted like a volcano. They had been oppressed for generations and did not dare to speak out or be angry.
Today, under Hong'er's constant stimulation, they finally lost control of their emotions.
Seeing the people of the Chu family turned into piles of meat patties under the anger of the people, under the sticks, heads, and pickaxes.
Hong'er shouted again: "It's not that you owe the Chu family, it's the Chu family that has robbed you for generations. His family's money and food are all compensation for you. Go and get your own things back."
These words were like igniting a powder keg, and the crowd exploded with a bang. They rushed towards the Chu family manor like a tide. They were afraid that they would be late and everything would be taken away by others.
Seeing that everything has become a foregone conclusion, Hong'er's evil spirit has finally subsided.
"Brother Zhuzi, it's time for us to leave." After Hong'er said that, she turned and mounted her horse without looking back.
Zhu Zhu was stunned. He hadn't heard this sound for a long time, Brother Zhu Zhu.
Zhuzhu let out a long sigh, mounted his horse, and the group left here quickly.
After walking two miles away, Zhuzhu looked back and saw that the place was already in flames.
There is no doubt that those farmers could no longer control their emotions and began to rob property and set fire to destroy evidence of the crime.
Zhuzi is from a peasant background, and he understands the psychology of peasants better than anyone else. Once this magic box is released, it is easy to go to the other extreme. Once the peasants break up with the gentry, they will "shoot with no turning back" because they are worried that they will come back in the future.
The thought of revenge often drives the gentry to "fight to the death."
After tonight's incident, the Chu family may disappear from this world.
He suddenly remembered what his master had said. The problems of the Ming Dynasty cannot be solved by relying on these farmers. Their rebellion will only cause greater damage. They will not improve or build the country, nor can they solve any problems.
.Nothing will happen except cutting the population in half.
If a company is not doing well, it is definitely not a good idea to resort to layoffs to solve the problem.
"Sir, where are we going?" Zhuzi stepped forward and asked in a very dogged manner.
Hong'er snorted and said, "Go to Zhangjiakou and find my cousin."
