Chapter 85 The nobles help to solve the crisis8,000 words(2/3)
What followed was a burst of noisy screams and curses.
"No, they're going to fight!" Mr. Qin's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed over, grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, and headed over.
Jingheng subconsciously grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao's hand to prevent Mr. Qin from taking her away.
Mr. Qin was not prepared for his sudden exertion and was unable to pull Qin Xiaoxiao over.
"What happened over there?" Jing Heng asked the rock-paper-scissors on the side as if he didn't see Mr. Qin's movements.
Shitou didn't know the truth, so he said casually: "It should be that the farmers had a conflict with the officials over the payment of grain. This kind of thing is very common, and you don't need to pay attention to it."
Farmers cannot pay tax due to food shortages, and conflicts with officials occur every year. It is impossible to say who is right or wrong about this kind of thing, and we can't control it even if we want to.
"No, there are bad guys bullying people. They want to take away the food of grandpa and beat him." Qin Xiaoxiao corrected Shi Shi and broke away from Jing Heng's hand. His young face was full of anxiety: "Big brother
, please let me go quickly, I want to find the most powerful person to punish the big bad guy, and help grandpa get the food back!"
When Jing Heng heard this, his face darkened, he raised his head and asked Mr. Qin: "What's going on?"
Mr. Qin was worried about the situation there, and originally didn't want to waste time talking to a stupid kid about this, but when he looked at Jing Heng, who had an extraordinary background, he suddenly thought of something, and in a few words he told what the officials in charge of the grain depot had done over the years.
"Once this matter gets bigger, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end..."
Afraid that Jingheng was too young to see the possible consequences of the riot, Mr. Qin told what happened in the precognitive dream as a guess.
The more Jing Heng listened, the uglier his face became. Seeing that the riot was getting more and more violent, if it was not controlled, he knew that the consequences would be as serious as Mr. Qin had guessed.
When the people he sent found out that the cause of the riot was indeed what Mr. Qin said, they did not hesitate to give the order to Rock, Scissors: "Scissors, go to the government office immediately to dispatch people; Stone, hurry back to Beijing and report the situation here.
Report it truthfully; Dabu, order Le'an Guards to arrest all the people responsible for grain taxation!"
"Yes, sir!"
Rock, Paper, Scissors immediately took the order, got on his horse and ran in three different directions.
Jing Heng was still worried and continued to issue orders to the remaining twenty guards, asking them to blend into the rioting crowd and try to control the situation to avoid serious casualties.
The guards were guarding Jing Heng's safety. It was impossible for them all to be dispatched, so the three of them were left on standby.
Jing Heng's calm and calm performance was completely unlike that of a seven-year-old child, and it also made people ignore his immature face and voice that were inconsistent with his mind.
"Grandpa, little brother is so awesome!" Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Jingheng who seemed to have changed, with a light of admiration shining in his big bright eyes.
Mr. Qin was also deeply stunned, and he became more and more certain that this child was the "most powerful person" in his granddaughter's mouth, or that he could find the most powerful person to completely kill the signs of rebellion.
Jing Heng did not know what Mr. Qin was thinking, nor did he know that he was using his own hands to contain this serious riot that might lead to the death of more than a dozen people and the destruction of most of the grain depot.
What's more, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Just when he met Qin Xiaoxiao's hot gaze, Jing Heng's ears, which had just behaved completely unlike a seven-year-old child, began to turn red again, and he said with some embarrassment: "What are you looking at!"
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't hide what she was thinking at all. She opened her mouth like a flatterer: "My little brother is good-looking. He is the best-looking little brother I have ever seen!"
Mr. Qin held his forehead. He said these words to his silly granddaughter who had coaxed the Dabao, the second and the third treasure so many times. Now he used it to coax Mr. Jing, whose mind was much higher than those of the others at home. How could he coax him so easily?
!
But after Jing Heng heard Qin Xiaoxiao's straightforward and enthusiastic praise, the red color quickly spread from the roots of his ears to his entire face: "Shameless!"
Is this what a girl would say to a boy? Even if, even if they are still children, then, that's not... also, it's not impossible, it's only possible when they are just the two of them!
"Brother, I didn't look at you..." Qin Xiaoxiao looked confused. He was obviously praising someone, so what does it have to do with anything?
Thinking of the last time she made her little brother angry by saying something about looking at her butts, and almost punished those uncles, the little girl did not dare to tell the whole story.
"Hmph, don't say that again in the future!" Jing Heng didn't want anyone to see what he was thinking, so he tried his best to warn Qin Xiaoxiao with a straight face, letting her know that she was not someone who gets confused when she hears good words.
Qin Xiaoxiao thought that her little brother was angry, so she leaned in her grandfather's arms unhappily, racking her brains to think about why her little brother was angry.
Mr. Qin looked at this scene and shook his head helplessly.
On the other side, twenty or thirty villagers from the village where the old village chief lived could not bear the insult and oppression, so they picked up carrying poles and started fighting with hundreds of officials armed with knives and guns.
These people usually didn't have enough to eat and didn't have any fat in their stomachs. Even one-on-one, they were no match for these officials. They were quickly pushed to the ground and beaten to death.
"You damn bitch, how dare you rebel! Even if I beat you all to death here today, the superiors won't hold you accountable, and I might be credited with quelling the rebellion!"
A government official stepped on the head of a villager who had been beaten to a bloody head and said proudly.
"No, no, I didn't rebel. It was you beasts who rebelled!" The villagers were so angry that their teeth were almost broken. If they had the chance to stand up, they would definitely bite the government servant's neck.
"Hmph, you dare to talk back to me when you are about to die! I want to see whether it is your head or my fist that is stronger." After the officer said that, he punched the villager hard on the head.
"Ah -" the villager let out a cry of pain, and soon fresh blood gurgled out of his head.
There were more than one similar situation, and none of the dozens of people did not shed blood in the confrontation with the officials.
"Beasts, beasts, these beasts!"
The villagers in Qingshan Village looked at this scene, and they all glared and cursed, and no one did not hate it.
"No, I can't bear it anymore!" Qin Shan clenched his fists tightly and used all his strength to control the urge to beat all the officials to death.
"Brother, calm down. Think about your parents and your sister-in-law. If something happens to you, let them do it!"
Qin Chuan persuaded anxiously, looking around for his father and niece, hoping that they could come and persuade his eldest brother.
"Da Shan, don't be impulsive. We cannot bear the consequences." Other villagers also tried to persuade him.
If possible, they don't want to watch those people being beaten to death, but what else can they do besides watching them!
"Their parents, wives and children are also waiting for them to go back. I can't do it, I really can't do it!" Qin Shan's eyes were red, full of helpless pain.
"Da Shanzi, if you bear with it, if you bear with it, when Mr. Qingtian from the capital comes, he will do justice for them." The villagers comforted Qin Shan with these words, and they were not comforting themselves.
conscience.
"Be patient, and then... Hey, look, a group of people ran out to help. Look which village they are from!" Someone accidentally discovered the abnormality and hurriedly told others.
When everyone looked up, they saw more than a dozen powerful men rushing over and easily overturning the officials who were suppressing the villagers to the ground.
"Oh my god, which village do these people come from? They have such great skills."
The villagers were shocked and couldn't believe their eyes. Someone soon noticed the abnormality: "Here, these people are wearing exactly the same clothes, they don't come from which village!"
"Yes, they don't look like farmers. Where did they come from?" The villagers looked at each other, completely unable to guess where these people came from.
"It doesn't matter, as long as someone stops this riot, don't kill so many people as in the dream, no matter where they come from." Someone said this excitedly, and everyone fell silent.
It was Jing Heng's dozen guards who rushed in to save people and stopped the officers from hurting people.
These guards were all the best in a thousand. They relied on their extraordinary skills to deal with hundreds of officials, leaving them no time to attack the unarmed villagers. In the end, they actually controlled the situation and dragged them to the front of the scissors.
Come for reinforcements.
Fortunately, Jing Heng made a quick decision and sent out these dozen people in time. Otherwise, sooner or later, the villagers in the watching villages would not be able to bear it anymore and would end up fighting with the officials.
By then, both sides were furious. Not to mention a dozen or so guards, even dozens of them couldn't stop the riot.
Not long after, Le'an garrison arrived with more than 500 people and captured all the people who guarded the grain depot and were responsible for collecting taxes.
"That's great, that's great, no one died, the precognitive dream didn't come true, that's great!"
The villagers of Qingshan Village were very excited when they saw those officials who bullied others with no regard for human life and were like grasshoppers tied up in a line with ropes.
From yesterday to now, no matter how normal everyone behaves, the precognitive dream has inevitably affected them. Especially the violent and bloody scene just now was the beginning of the riot in the precognitive dream, which made them particularly scared.
Afraid that the precognitive dream would completely become a reality, afraid of watching dozens of lives disappear in front of my eyes, and afraid that I would be trapped in it because of my inability to escape, and would be slapped with a board and thrown into jail, becoming one of the more than twenty cripples.
It's okay now. This big riot has been successfully stopped. These evil officials have been caught. No one died. The grain depot is still there. Everyone is fine and will return home safely. Waiting for them
Reunion of loved ones back home!
In the carriage, Jing Heng dismissed Guard Le'an who came to say hello with a few words, and pushed several plates with snacks and fruits on the table towards Qin Xiaoxiao who was sitting opposite: "Eat!"
Qin Xiaoxiao had already been salivated by the sweetness of the snacks. She glanced at the plate countless times. But this was not her home, so she didn't have the nerve to reach out and take it.
At this moment, the fragrant snacks were right under her nose, and Qin Xiaoxiao's little paws couldn't help but be ready to move. Before moving, she didn't forget to ask: "Brother, are you really giving it to me?"
Jing Heng said impatiently: "You can eat as long as you are told. How can you talk so much!"
"Wow, thank you, little brother, you are so kind!" Qin Xiaoxiao didn't mind Jingheng's attitude at all, and immediately stretched out her little paw to get some snacks from the plate.
"Wait a minute, wipe your hands first, they are so dirty!" Jing Heng looked at her little paws with disgust, found a handkerchief from nowhere, and clumsily poured out the water from the silver pot to wet it: "Stretch your hands out
come over!"
"Oh, thank you, little brother!" Qin Xiaoxiao is also a clean person. Even if she feels that her little paws are not dirty, she obediently hands them to Jing Heng.
"Humph, you are not allowed to eat with unclean hands from now on." Jing Heng was born with a golden key in his mouth. He has been carefully served by others since he was a child. He has never served anyone else. At this moment, he looked at the person stretched out in front of him.
He didn't feel anything was wrong with his little paws, so he wiped them roughly and carefully while giving fierce instructions.
"Hmm, listen to little brother." Qin Xiaoxiao only has eyes for delicious snacks, so naturally she will listen to whatever Jingheng says.
Jing Heng saw her absent-mindedness and couldn't help but feel angry. Just seeing her eagerly looking at the snacks, inexplicably like a koi carp in a lotus pond eager to feed, he couldn't bring himself to teach her a lesson.
"Brother, can you eat it?" Qin Xiaoxiao's hands, which had been wiped white and tender, were ready to move again, and she almost drooled.
"Eat!" Jingheng looked at her with great disgust, wondering why he thought this greedy girl was different and even went all the way from the capital to Le'an.
"Let's eat!" Qin Xiaoxiao cheered, ignoring Jing Heng's thoughts, holding a piece of jade-white snack in his two little paws and eating it happily: "Well, good time!"
"Shut up!" Jing Heng was afraid that she would choke and would not let her speak.
