Chapter 5 Walking out of the ghost and shaking his head
Ma Xingkong was very confident and shot the servants one by one as they ran out the door. But Ma Xingkong didn't make a move. He had killed enough people tonight. As a novice in killing, such a
The result of the battle was already remarkable. All those who ran before my eyes were lives. Normally, these people would just guard the Wu family's courtyard. Since the main culprit had been eliminated, it was better to let them go.
"Brother? Brother?" Heiwa lowered his voice and kept shouting.
"I'm here!" Ma Xingkong stood up from the closet where he was hiding: "If you don't stay outside, why did you come in?"
"Brother, are you okay?" Hei Wa looked Ma Xingkong up and down: "I knew something was wrong when I heard the gunshot just now. I tried to climb the wall but couldn't get in, and I couldn't open the door. What's wrong? These people are all
Did you kill him?"
Ma Xingkong nodded: "Let's go quickly! It will be dawn soon. Where are the servants?"
"They all ran away!" Hei Wa was a little disgusted: "They all ran away. If they hadn't opened the door, I wouldn't have been able to get in!"
Hei Wa carried the gold and silver he got from the Wu family and followed Ma Xingkong. Looking at the dangling heads in Ma Xingkong's waist, the nausea he had just suppressed immediately surged up again.
"Brother? Can you throw away that writing? What are you doing with a few heads?" Hei Wa stopped Ma Xingkong.
Ma Xingkong looked down, took off the head from his waist, and threw it into the smelly ditch nearby: "I forgot, you really forgot if you didn't tell me! Let's go!"
"Where are we going?" Hei Wa asked.
Ma Xingkong said: "Now that we have caused such a big disaster, we can't stay in the village. We can only run as far away as possible!"
Hei Wa nodded: "I think so too. You are doing a good job for the people in our village. They will not forget you. If you want to go out, I want to go out."
Ma Xingkong smiled: "But where are we going?"
Hei Wa shook the two strands of pearl necklaces in his hands: "Haha, with these things, where can we go? I asked you to take them, but you didn't take them. Now you know their uses, right?"
After daybreak, the people shook their heads and woke up one after another. But no one walked out of the house, and every household stayed behind closed doors. Some ignorant children opened the door and wanted to go out, but they were pulled into the house by adults with heavy blows on their buttocks.
A few slaps.
Mother Cui Er asked Zhang Qigui: "Dad, what happened? I just looked outside and there was no one on the street."
Zhang Qigui hurriedly hissed: "Stop talking, didn't you hear it? The one who fired the gun last night was Wu Jiabao. I'm afraid something happened to the Wu family. Maybe some group of bandits came to the village."
"You mean, the bandits robbed the Wu family?" Cui'er asked.
"Eighty percent yes, otherwise who has the ability to dare to mess with the Wu family?" Zhang Qigui said.
Mother Cui Er whispered: "Yesterday when it was just dark, the Wu family burned Ma Xingkong's house. Could it be that stupid young man? I heard that at noon yesterday, Ma Xingkong and the Wu family burned down Ma Mazi's daughter.
That butler used his gun!"
"Ah?!" Zhang Qigui was shocked: "If it's really him, our family will be affected."
Stepping on the road out of the village, Ma Xingkong looked back. Although this village was desolate, it was also the place where he grew up. He had a happy childhood here. Ma Xingkong's family was not rich, but he could eat meat every now and then. This was amazing.
Making other children envious, Ma Xingkong's father is a hunter.
He didn't know when he would be able to come back after leaving. Thinking about Cui'er, he felt somewhat reluctant to leave. Ma Xingkong turned around and knelt down, facing the village in the distance, and kowtowed heavily on the ground three times. He stood up and nodded.
He walked away without looking back. Hei Wa hurriedly got up from the ground and went to catch up.
The old servant of the Wu family was named Dao Scar. Where did he come from? Why did the ghost shake his head? No one knew, because Wu Xiaoyi saw that Dao Scar was strong and could talk, so he stayed in his own house and became a servant.
No one knows the name of this scar, but because there is a long scar on his face from the right corner of his forehead to the left corner of his mouth, everyone calls him Scar.
Scar did not run away without a trace like other servants. He left the Wu family and ran straight to the county town. When he arrived at the county town, the city gate had just opened. He was going to find Wu Xiaoren, and the Wu family had left.
For such a big matter, if you go and report it now, you will not only be able to absolve yourself of the blame, but if you get it right, you may be able to make a good living under Wu Xiaoren.
Wu Xiaoren used to be the master of the county magistrate during the Qing Dynasty. Because of the rampant revolutionary party in the provincial capital, the futai master ordered each county to eradicate the revolutionary party in its own territory. If it was not completed within the time limit, it would be dismissed and investigated. At that time,
The county magistrate, Liu Rusheng, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot as he held the official document.
Wu Xiaoren said flatteringly: "Sir, if the student has an idea, it might work!"
"Speak quickly!" Liu Rusheng was already in a hurry and sought medical treatment.
Wu Xiaoren said: "There is no inscription on the forehead of this revolutionary party. If we want to arrest only the revolutionary party, it will be difficult to report to Master Futai. Therefore, the student thought that the only way is to count all the enemies of the Lord and the prisoners in the cell as revolutionary parties. In this way,
Firstly, I can deal with the master's enemy, and secondly, I can also report to Mr. Futai."
"Okay!" Liu Rusheng chuckled: "It's up to you to handle this matter. If it is completed at this time, I will give you a big reward!"
Three months later, a report from the provincial capital showed that Hunhe County executed a total of 328 revolutionaries, ranking first among the counties. Mr. Futai praised Liu Rusheng and rewarded him with silver in front of all the county officials.
One thousand taels, and let other counties learn from Hunhe County, and the revolutionary party must be eradicated.
This is how an unprecedented catastrophe began. People were arresting so-called revolutionary parties everywhere in the province, making everyone feel at risk. If there was a slight quarrel, someone would immediately report to the officials and falsely accuse each other of being a revolutionary party. The county magistrate did not care whether it was true or not.
All were imprisoned and executed, and reported to the provincial capital as revolutionaries. Within half a year, a total of 100,000 revolutionaries were executed in Nanhe Province, shocking the whole country.
On February 12, 1912, Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, abdicated, and Qi Yaolin, the governor of Nanhe at the time, suddenly became the governor of Nanhe Province in the Republic of China. The magistrate of Hunhe County also became the magistrate of Hunhe County.
After Yuan Shikai's death, warlords everywhere were fighting. Today you beat me, tomorrow I will beat you. Hunhe County also changed its county magistrate one after another. On the contrary, Wu Xiaoren relied on his flattery skills to always stay in Hunhe County, no matter how the county magistrate was changed.
, Wu Xiaoren is still the star of the county magistrate. Now he has become the public security committee member of Hunhe County, in charge of almost all the guns in Hunhe. The new county magistrate must obtain his approval before taking office, and he has become a tyrant.
The native emperor of He County.
Dao Scar hurriedly rushed into the county town and found Wu Xiaoren's home on South Street of the county town. The two policemen standing guard at the door saw that it was Dao Scar and recognized him. They hurriedly came up to say hello: "Master Dao, why are you here?"
"Stop talking nonsense, go and tell the second master that something happened at home, something big happened!" Scar ran out of breath and gasped after saying this.
