In February of the 18th year of Hongwu, Cui Miao and Shen Qing came to Daxing County for an unannounced visit and stayed in a house. Unexpectedly, Li Wang, the steward of the house, had ulterior motives and drugged the food given to them. Fortunately, the two were alert and Li Wang Everyone stealing chickens failed to eat a lot of rice, but Cui Miao and the other two restrained them and tied them tightly.

"Yeah, today I'm going to cut him into pieces. It's time for me to practice my skills. Big brother Shen will choose someone."

Shen Qing patrolled the crowd, finally landed on a man with a mustache, and said: "Let's just let him, he has flesh on his body, suitable for practicing hands."

Seeing Shen Qing stretching out his hand, Mustache leaned back again and again in fright, and said in horror: "No, no, I just look like I have flesh, but in fact my body is full of fleshy skin! Li Erniu, Li Erniu is so strong, his body is full of tendons Meat, if you want to catch him, catch him, let me go!"

Li Erniu became anxious when he heard it, and said angrily: "Zhang Mazi, you fucking talk like that. If I let my life escape, I will kill you and feed you to the dogs!"

Zhang Mazi scratched his neck and said, "That would be a thousand cuts. I would rather be slaughtered and fed to the dogs, than to experience the feeling that life is worse than death! You are so stubborn, you go and taste it!"

Shen Qing's eyes fell on Li Erniu, and Li Erniu said quickly when he saw this: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I don't believe that he can really cut me into pieces."

Cui Miao smiled and said, "Since you don't believe me, let me show you. Brother Shen, let him be. He looks strong, and he should be able to cut you a few more times."

Shen Qing nodded, immediately lifted the tall and burly Li Erniu up, followed Cui Miao, and walked out of the room.For the rest of you, you look at me, I look at you, and your heart is in your throat.Not long after, the silent night was pierced by a scream, followed by a scream, each more horrifying, each more chilling, the eyes of the people in the room were full of fear, looking at the door in horror, Afraid that I would be next.

The screams lasted for half an hour, Li Erniu's voice became weaker and weaker, and the fear in everyone's hearts became more and more intense. At this moment, Cui Miao walked in with a dagger in his hand, and blood flowed down the tip of the knife. On the ground, it was like a boulder hitting everyone's hearts.

Cui Miao frowned slightly, looked at her blood-stained clothes, and said, "Oh, it's actually splattered with blood. It's really a child without practicing for a long time. That kid is so uncut, how big is it?" I'm dizzy, so who's next?"

Cui Miao glanced back and forth at everyone, and finally landed on Zhang Mazi, and said, "It's better for you, you've used thousands of cuts, and your skin looks pretty good, so let's peel it off."

Zhang Mazi was scared out of his wits, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, tell me the little one, you can say anything, please give me a good time afterward."

Cui Miao said regretfully: "That's it? You should hold on for a while until I peel the skin. It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Zhang Mazi just wanted to cry in his heart, if he really peeled off his skin, what would he say?

Cui Miao looked at the others, her eyes full of anticipation, and said, "I am born to appreciate heroes the most, I believe there should be some of you who will not let me down."

The other three people scolded in their hearts: You fucking admire heroes, even if you cut them into pieces and peel the daylilies, the man with shit in his fucking head will not let you down!

"We recruit, what does the adult ask, what do we recruit!"

Cui Miao looked at the crowd with dissatisfaction, and said contemptuously: "Look at how cowardly you are, where did your arrogance go? Using torture on you feels like an insult to my profession!"

"Yes, yes, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as the little ones."

Cui Miao lazily sat down on the bench and said, "I'm not going to have fun today. I'll ask questions later, and you all rush to answer. The one with the least answer will let me have the best time."

Everyone wailed in their hearts, cursing Cui Miao as a pervert, and looking at the people around them, they became a little more defensive.

"First question, whose house is this?"

"Master Zhang's private house!" Everyone shouted loudly, lest they be slow.

Cui Miao rubbed her ears that were hurt by the noise, frowned and said, "It's too noisy! I'll order some later, and whoever clicks will answer."

Now everyone's faces turned green, and they could only look at Cui Miao eagerly, hoping that they would be pleasing enough to make him look up to them.

"Second question, who is Mr. Zhang, and why did you order you to take care of this house?"

Cui Miao glanced at the crowd, looking at the eagerly awaiting faces, she couldn't help feeling amused, nodded her pockmarks, and said, "For the sake of your good performance, you should come first."

Zhang Mazi thanked Dade and replied: "Thank you, sir! Master Zhang is the county magistrate of Daxing County, and this house is the warehouse where Master Zhang stores grain."

Cui Miao's eyes lit up, she looked at the short man, and asked, "Where is the food? How much is it?"

The short man quickly replied, "There are about 20 tons of grain in the warehouse in the backyard."

Cui Miao looked at him sharply, and said, "20 dan? A small county magistrate can hoard so much grain, is what you said true?"

The short man quickly explained: "Your Excellency, I dare not lie. The food is stored in the warehouse. You can go and see for yourself. The key is with Li Wang."

Cui Miao looked at another man with a scar on his face and asked, "How did these grains come from?"

The scar-faced man said with a bitter face: "My lord, these were sent by the county magistrate. We just take care of them. I don't know where they come from."

Zhang Mazi said eagerly, "My lord, my lord, and my villain know."

Cui Miao raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, tell me about it."

Zhang Mazi's eyes flashed with pride, and he said, "These grains are tax revenue from Daxing County."

Cui Miao's face darkened, and she asked sharply, "How can such a small Daxing County have so many taxes? Are you playing tricks on me?"

Zhang Mazi saw that Cui Miao's expression had changed, and he said in fear, "My lord, I dare not lie. This is what Li Wang said. Once when we were drinking, he drank too much and leaked the matter. These are indeed from Daxing County. The grain tax is just that the grain is not produced in one year, but in three years, my lord, these are the three years of grain tax embezzled by Mr. Zhang."

Cui Miao was silent for a while, then turned around and walked out, came to the next room, told Shen Qing about the matter, and said, "Brother Shen, you might startle the snake, they destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces, we must transfer the food immediately."

Shen Qing frowned, and said: "Even if a small county magistrate is extremely courageous, it is impossible for him to pay so much tax. There must be the shadow of the two divisions of Beiping Mansion behind this."

"Brother Shen, now is not the time to talk about these things. You have to go to the guard station to mobilize troops and transfer the food. If those people set fire to it, all the food will be destroyed."

"But I can't leave you here alone!"

"Brother Shen, as long as you come quickly enough, I will be fine." Seeing that Shen Qing was still hesitating, Cui Miao said anxiously: "Brother Shen, if you delay for a moment, my safety will be more dangerous. Besides, only You have the right to mobilize the guards, Brother Shen!"

Shen Qing took a deep look at Cui Miao, and said word by word: "Wait for me to come back, if something happens to you, Qing will stay with you!"

Cui Miao was taken aback, but didn't think too much, nodded hurriedly, and said, "I promise!"

Without hesitation, Shen Qing turned around and went to the stables, pulled out a group of fast horses, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.While Cui Miao breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, hoping in her heart that Shen Qing would be able to rush back before dawn, otherwise he might be really in danger with his own strength, and hoped that the words of Monk Daoyan would not come true in this matter.

Cui Miao turned around and came to the next door, looked at everyone, and said, "I'm giving you a chance to live, I wonder if you want to take it?"

Zhang Mazi was the first to ask, "What chance? As long as the Lord spares our lives, we can do anything!"

Cui Miao looked at the others, and asked indifferently, "What about you, do you want to live too?"

"Think about it, my lord, we all want to live." Everyone echoed.

Cui Miao nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, I am not a Jinyiwei. I have never done anything like hacking into pieces or peeling day lilies. However, I have lost a lot of lives, not even a thousand." Eight hundred."

Everyone looked at each other with complex expressions on their faces.

"I know what you're thinking. I'm not a bandit, let alone a killer. I'm a soldier. What I kill are Mongolian Tartars, the executioners who tried to invade our country and slaughter our people. I fight on the battlefield to defend our country , how can you Xiao Xiaoxiao compare with me." Cui Miao's face was full of contempt, but they were unable to refute.

"We fought bloody battles on the battlefield. We ate dry food that was as hard as rocks, and drank river water mixed with silt. The comrades around us were chatting and laughing one moment, but turned into cold corpses the next. What are we fighting desperately for? It is for the peace and prosperity of the people of Ming Dynasty. But what about you? You are also dignified five-foot men, but for your own selfish desires, you do what you do for money and death. You are worthy of those of us Brothers who died in battle?"

Everyone's blood was boiling with enthusiasm, but they were ashamed and bowed their heads one by one.

"The food is the blood and sweat of the common people. It is their hope of survival, but it has been hoarded by corrupt officials in warehouses, waiting to go moldy. Aren't your parents one of the many bullied people? Their blood and sweat were squeezed, But you are helping the evildoers, are you worthy of your parents' kindness in nurturing you?"

Zhang Mazi blushed and said, "My lord, you are right. We are also five-foot boys raised by our biological parents, and we should do things worthy of others. Tell us what you want us to do, as long as we can If I can help, I will go through fire and water, and I will do my best!"

Everyone looked at each other and echoed, "Even Zhang Mazi said that, we can't be compared, anyway, we have so many lives on our hands, we are dead anyway, why don't we do some personnel work before we die?" , Parents will not be stabbed in the back after death!"
