Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A case like Zong Weiwu's involves promoting the end of the world, claiming to be an immortal saint, and distorting the teachings of Taoism. It is already an absolutely major case, and because it has the nature of "gathering people together", the way to handle the case has been directly criticized.  Defined as "clearance".  There were nearly 200 people in the team that went to clear out the raids. In addition to hundreds of young men who came from the conquest, the main force was the third class of government officials. This group of policemen and archers would never be able to do anything against each other, but everyone was good at ransacking homes and exterminating families.

    In addition, the ten Daomen Fangtang inspectors that Zhao Ran brought down the mountain are the main ones. If something unexpected happens, such as some desperadoes raised in the Zongjiazhuang or ruthless characters in the world, they will have to rely on the Daomen inspectors to show up.  .

    Although the main force was summoned by the county government, after all, the matter involved a Taoist sect, and the one who really had the final say was none other than Zhao Ran.  Zhao Ran rode on the old donkey and saw nearly two hundred people crowding around him. He was quite touched. This feeling was really wonderful!  The only regret is that the appearance of the old donkey under his crotch is really down, and after passing through Changchong Mountain, Zhao Ran is also a little dissatisfied with the performance of the old donkey, but he is dissatisfied and really wants to run for his life.  There is really no mount that can outrun this beast.

    Zongjiazhuang is not very far away. From the county seat, walk along the official road in the northeast direction for half a day, then turn down the Lushan Incline Road and walk for another half an hour.  While marching, Zhao Ran suddenly remembered something and asked Jin County Lieutenant if he was so arrogant here, would Zong Weiwu be scared away after getting the news?

    Jin County Lieutenant smiled and said that under normal circumstances, such large-scale property owners would not run away in a hurry, because it is difficult for them to abandon their family property. They usually gather people to resist, and then find ways to ask someone to save them.  Zhao Ran asked, would Zong Weiwu do the same thing?  Does he have any background to rely on?  Lieutenant Jinxian said that regardless of whether he had any background to rely on, we should take the person first. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with us, so we don¡¯t need to worry too much.

    Zhao Ran still felt unsafe and asked, what if Zong Weiwu really escaped?  Lieutenant Jinxian smiled happily and said that if he really escaped, it would be easier. First of all, his home cannot be escaped. Secondly, we will search wherever he escapes. In short, we must catch him.  until.  Zhao Ran saw that Jinxian Wei was smiling very strangely. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized that if Zong Weiwu ran away, then the big families nearby would probably suffer.

    There was nothing to say all the way, and it was already dusk when we arrived at Zongjiazhuang.  Zhao Ran raised his eyes and looked around. The door of the huge manor was tightly closed, and there were about a dozen warrior-looking people standing on the wall, seemingly trying to defend the manor.

    Jin Xianwei's eyes were filled with smiles, and he said to Zhao Ran: "Zhao Fangzhu, it seems that the Zong family is going to resist. Oh my, this is really"

    He didn¡¯t say anything else, but Zhao Ran looked at his happy face and knew what he wanted to express.  Yin said: "It's better to go up and shout."

    Zhao Ran was fully responsible for this cleanup, so Jinxian Lieutenant nodded and said, "This is the right thing to do." He turned around and called out to a chieftain, asking him to come forward and persuade him to surrender.

    The head catcher walked up to the village gate and shouted loudly: "Where is Zong Weiwu? Let Zong Weiwu come out and answer!"

    A bald man on the wall replied: "The master of the village is out on business and is not in the village. Who dare to surround our village? They must be bandits!"

    The arrester laughed. They were three squads of yamen servants all wearing government uniforms. It was obvious at a glance that they were yamen servants. This bald man actually slandered them as bandits, and he probably wanted to resist with force.  So he said: "You really don't know how to live and die, you thief. I'm too lazy to yell at you. Let Zong Weiwu come out quickly. His matter has been revealed. The Taoist Academy and the county government jointly issued a document to take him back for questioning. Did you see it?  , Master Zhao Fang of the Wuji Academy¡¯s Fangtang Hall, and Lieutenant Jinxian of my Yamen personally led the troops"

    The bald man interrupted: "I don't understand what you are saying. The master of the sect is not here. If you have anything to do, wait until he comes back!"

    The head catcher said: "Don't delay! Hurry up and open the gate of the village and be restrained, otherwise we will be beaten in and we will be destroyed!"

    The bald man suddenly raised his bow and shot. An arrow came suddenly and was nailed directly at the catcher's feet. The catcher was startled and jumped back.

    The bald man shouted: "Who cares about you, Lord Bird County Lieutenant, if you keep talking nonsense, you will be killed by the next arrow, so hurry up and get out!" A burst of laughter broke out on the wall.

    The head catcher sneered several times and stepped back.  Jinxian Lieutenant pointed at the bald martial artist shooting arrows on the wall, and sighed to Zhao Ran: "Master Zhao, with this arrow, this case has become deeper. I don't know why, this sect Weiwu has become obsessed with it."

    Folks are not allowed to use or keep bows and arrows. This is an express prohibition by the imperial court. With just one arrow shot, Zong Weiwu's case was added to the "secret possession of bows and crossbows with the intention of treason", and no one could save him.

    Zhao Ran ordered: "Attack the village!"

    So according to the previously discussed plan, the young men started toThe wooden sign was taken out from the car and more than ten archers came forward with protection. These archers bent their bows and nocked arrows, and shot towards the wall.  The dozen martial arts masters on the wall also had three or four foot bows. Their accuracy was quite good, but they could not withstand the overwhelming number of archers sent by the county government. After two rounds, they were completely suppressed and could no longer be seen on the wall.  Come forward.

    Several officers took out several cans of oil, smashed it on the village door, and then set it on fire. A raging fire immediately burst into flames, and panicked cries were heard in the village.

    The fire burned for less than half an hour, and it was not until the sky completely darkened that Zhao Ran heard a "pop" sound, which was the door latch behind the door being burned open.  Jinxian Lieutenant ordered the lamp ball torch to be lit, and then with a wave of his hand, an officer came forward and stabbed it with a whistle stick. The gate of the village had already been burned down, and it collapsed after being stabbed several times. Someone else poured water on it to put out the fire.

    Someone in the village shot a few arrows out from the doorway, but Qing Zhuang blocked them with wooden signs, and then used the wooden signs to clear the way inward.  The government officials swarmed in with weapons in hand, followed closely by dozens of young men. The village was defeated, and the shouts, screams, and cries in the village shook the sky.  From time to time, you can still hear shouts such as "The disaster is coming, sacrifice your life for righteousness", "Luxian is here to save everyone" and so on.

    From time to time, people in Zhuangzi came out to report the situation of the battle between Zhao Ran and Jinxian Lieutenant. Occasionally, they reported that they encountered difficult and difficult ideas, so Zhao Ran asked Guan Er to bring a few patrols and reinforcements.

    The last battle took place in a small garden in Houzhuang. Zong Weiwu and several martial arts masters who were very good at it were making a final and crazy resistance. Guan Er and others were unable to take down him for a while.  Jinxian Lieutenant was very experienced, so he immediately had people withdraw, mobilized archers to surround Zong Weiwu and several recalcitrant martial artists, and fired several rounds of bows and arrows at them, shooting Zong Weiwu and others like hedgehogs, killing them all on the spot.  .  Before his death, Zong Weiwu was still shouting: "I am a disciple of Lu Xianzuo, I am invulnerable to swords" He died in the middle of the shout, making Zhao Ran, who was watching the battle behind, sigh.

    At this point, Zongjiazhuang was completely captured. Except for the female family members and babies in the village, all the other men were killed on the spot.

    The contrast in strength between the two sides is quite obvious. On one side are the well-trained, experienced and well-equipped Taoist inspectors and government agents, and on the other are the fanatical but incompetent village servants. Even if there are a few martial arts guards among them,  He is far from a match for the Taoist inspectors.  After more than an hour of fighting, more than ten people from the Taoist Academy and the county government were injured.

    That night, Lieutenant Jinxian ordered everyone to search the Zongjiazhuang. At dawn, the number was finally counted.  The biggest harvest turned out to be what Zong Weiwu took out from the back garden where he guarded. It was a one-foot-tall statue of Lu Xian. The main body was made of pure gold and weighed no less than a thousand taels.  In addition, more than 300 taels of gold ingots, 1,200 taels of silver ingots, and 800 taels of money were also collected.  The warehouse is stocked with silks, grains, medicinal materials and other items, all of which have been listed in detail on the list, and the estimated total price is around a thousand taels of silver.

    Jin County Lieutenant pulled Zhao Ran into a side room, took out a pile of silver notes and said: "Zhao Fangzhu, these are 10,000 taels of silver notes that were found separately. Just now, the Zongjiazhuang thieves set fire to the accounting room and destroyed all the account books.  ,look¡­¡­"

    Zhao Ran understood what Jin County Lieutenant meant. He had no psychological burden on stealing uncontaminated silver, but he had never done such a thing before and didn't know how to divide it, so he smiled and said: "Follow the old rules."

    Jin Xianwei nodded, added two to one to make five, and divided five thousand taels with Zhao Ran.

    Zhao Ran was a little hesitant: "What should we do with these officers and young men who have worked so hard to destroy the village? And the inspections brought by Pindao"

    Jinxian Lieutenant said: "They have taken everything they should have taken before, so we don't need to worry about it anymore."

    "What aboutthe Taoist Academy and the county government? Song Jian Yuan and Kong County Zun them"

    "Don't worry, Fangzhu Zhao, the gold and silver property we handed over is already quite a lot, and some will be deleted when we submit it. What is deleted from the book is theirs. Just let Jin take care of these things.  No need for Master Fang to bother himself."

    Well, Zhao Ran really didn¡¯t have the energy to take care of so many things. He didn¡¯t do anything today. He just watched a good show and got five thousand taels in a daze. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart - as expected, the shortcut to getting rich is to confiscate and destroy the family!
