139 Standards of Justice
. "Everything that man does is seen as pure in his own eyes, but only the Lord measures the heart." ----Proverbs 16:2
Huang Ercui was having lunch at home. His new home was close to the church. It was not large in size but was very tidy.
The family's self-ringing bell made a sound. It was 1:30 in the afternoon. Huang Ercuti held his rice bowl and stared at the new bell with interest, savoring the echoes of Niao Niao. This was brought back by the son of another believer Li Sanfa from the city. The child was learning to repair clocks and sold a second-hand self-ringing bell that the customer didn't want from the store, and brought back to his father. However, Li Sanfa was illiterate and did not know the numbers, so he gave it to Huang Ercuti. He was immediately placed in the middle of the living room like a treasure, and it turned out that the place where the ancestral tablets were placed.
He lowered his head and looked at his newly married wife. The 42-year-old Huang Ercui turned his head to look at the church spire. Because Chen Guangming deliberately wanted to violate Chinese Feng Shui and built the church to face south and north, he was facing Huang Ercui's door.
"Thank God for giving me my wife and life now." Huang Ercuti prayed again with his eyes closed.
Before Shen Guangming arrived, because he was an only child and had a lame leg, Huang Ercui was the lowest-class villager in Yangping Town. When he was born with one leg long and one short leg short, his mother died, but he lived and his family was poor. Others said that he was defeating his mother. No one was willing to date him. He was almost 40 years old and could not marry a wife.
At this time, Chen Guangming came, just to survive in the increasingly difficult rural life, Huang Ercuizi became the first to believe in religion, and gradually became a second Japanese devil like the housekeeper of Chen Guangming, and his life became richer. Not only that, he also became a powerful figure in the village. The young village chief who believed in religion had to discuss with him if he had any problems, because the village chief was Wang, and he was a few foreign households other than the two surnames Huang and Li. He lived as miserable as Huang Ercuizi. When Changmao came, he naturally touched the hatchet and started to make trouble. As a result, Changmao was accomplished and he became the village chief.
Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open, two young men walked in and shouted, "Huang Ercang, get out!"
The dog he raised barked wildly, Huang Ercut and his wife put down their jobs and looked out, wondering who the young man with strong faces were born with strong faces.
At this moment, the leader picked up the butt stock in his hand, smashed the sky cover of the dog that rushed up to watch the dog with just one shot!
"Bandit?!" Huang Ercui's bowl fell on the dining table and said, "That's right now." He stepped in front of the door in two steps and wanted to close the door---This is not the first time this happened. His family has been rushed into countless times since childhood. When he was a child, he was a creditor or a fight. Recently, it was a thug that someone else found.
At the moment when the door was closed, he looked at the big man holding a gun in the yard. He suddenly felt very familiar. But the other party looked at him with his gun down without hesitation, and his thoughts were wiped out. All his thoughts were gone, leaving only blank in his mind.
"Click! Boom! Bang!" Three sounds sounded almost at the same time.
The first sound was the sound of Huang Ercui covering the door of the house;
The second sound was the loud noise of the musket fire;
The third sound was the dull and terrifying sound of a bullet nailed into a thick wooden board;
The last muffled sound seemed to make the door come alive. Huang Ercui felt that the door on the left seemed to be kicked out by a devil and suddenly hit him in the face. He raised his head and pushed him with his chest. Then he immediately latched the door. When he turned around and sat down the door along the ground, his face was no longer shy.
"Go and call someone! Go and go to the back door!" Huang Ercuse sat down with his back against the door and shouted at his wife.
Before he finished speaking, he almost fell to the ground and was kicked up from outside.
Huang Ercuse gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, following his wife with a frightened face. However, he did not go out, but turned into the bedroom. When he came out, he was already holding a brother-card Minnie gun in his hand.
At this time, the door shaft was moaning and pulled out of the door frame. After a few loud noises, the wooden plug was broken, and the two doors were opened weakly to both sides. Huang Ercang, who was covered in cold sweat, looked at each other with two men outside the house.
"What are you going to do?" Huang Ercuse roared, pointing at the two of them with a trembling gun.
"Huang Ercut, do you still recognize me? I'm yellow-haired." The young man with empty hands behind him could even laugh. Not only could he laugh, but he also smiled very kindly, just like the enthusiastic smile of a guy or a waiter everywhere. He smiled and pointed to the middle-aged man holding an empty gun in front of the left and said, "This is Li Dayu, we just arrived home today."
"Yellow-haired? Big fish?" Huang Erchuang was stunned, and then a smile of surprise flashed in his eyes and said, "It's you! You're back home!"
But he was immediately startled by the fierce light in the big fish's eyes, and the gun in his hand was raised again. He said timidly: "What do you mean by the villagers."
"Don't pretend to be garlic! You reported my mother, right?" Dayu roared.
"God forgives her." Huang Ercui immediately knew what was going on, and he said, "It's not me."
"The whole village said you reported it." Huangmao said with a smile: "Didn't you believe you are the ones who run away from the lawsuit? "
"Aren't you one in the Taiping Army and the other in the imperial army? You should also believe in God. God does not allow the killing of baby girls. Aunt Li should repent. It was not my report, but if I knew, I would stop her and capture the parents who killed their children." Huang Ercut said slowly.
"I don't believe in God. People don't want girls. Why do you mom care about so much?" Huangmao sneered.
"I believe in God and the King of Heaven! But my mother definitely did not commit any sins. Although she ate vegetarianism and recited Buddha's name, she would be saved by her family! It was not my mother who killed infants, but someone asked her for help. Moreover, the King of Heaven and King Dong had never said that this was a serious sin!" The big fish stared at Huang Ercang and shouted.
"I said, it was not me who reported your mother! Besides, your mother was just punished, and she was not the main culprit. The main culprit was 4 or 5 families from the surrounding villages!" Huang Ercuizi said helplessly.
"But my mother is dead!" Big Fish roared angrily, without looking at her eyes. She waved her hands skillfully, and she turned into a gun body, just like she was fucking a sledgehammer and walked forward.
Huangmao looked at it and walked forward sideways. He vaguely formed an encirclement against Huang Ercuti. They were all elites from the battlefield, and everyone killed countless enemies. They didn't need to say anything at all, and they could cooperate automatically. Not to mention Huang Ercuti or ten strong men, they could not get it through the tacit cooperation between the two of them.
"Stop!" Huang Ercui suddenly thrust his spear and shouted: "I admit it if I did it! I didn't do it! If you don't believe me, go and find the village chief!"
Facing the muzzle of foreign guns, the big fish stopped gritting their teeth, but Huangmao continued to move forward with a smile: "Isn't the village chief also a foreign church?"
"Yellow-haired!" Huang Ercui's gun was aimed at the yellow-haired man from another place. He shouted: "You two are my brothers and neighbors, don't do stupid things. Today you shoot me and smash my door. I won't care about you. But things must be right or wrong."
"Brother and neighbor? OK, with a gun in your hand, you have become a tiger too? Haha." Huangmao stared at Huang Er's lame eyes and slowly walked forward with the gun. He raised his chin at him and smiled, "Brother, let's talk about friendship in the world! Come on, brother. Hit me in the chest! Kill me, you pay my life, this is also considered avenging Aunt Li."
Looking at the yellow hair approaching step by step, the muzzle was almost hitting the other party's chest. Huang Ercui retreated in a hurry and hit the dining table behind him. The jingling sounded. Looking at the yellow hair coming over, Huang Ercui shouted in a crying voice: "Brother. What are you doing?!!!"
Finally, the hard Minnie gun muzzle was pressed against the chest. Huangmao smiled and said to Huang Ercuizi: "Shoot, buddy. I have seen more bullets flying in the ground than the salt you have eaten. I didn't die at the hands of Qing Yao. It's good to die at the hands of you, a fellow villager in the country. Finally, the fallen leaves have returned to their roots. I don't have to be transported back with the national flag of the court."
"Brother, what are you doing? Woo woo..." The gun in Huang Ercuizi's hand was shaking like noodles, and tears and snot flowed everywhere.
But before he finished speaking, a strong force suddenly came from the gun in his hand, and then he turned around dizzyly----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Almost at the same time, the big fish kicked Huang Ercut, and the other party immediately rolled under the table and the gun fell into Huangmao's hand.
Then Dayu raised the dining table with one hand and smashed Huang Ercang to the ground with a gun. When the second round was round and then hit him again, Huangmao held his hand: "Then you'll kill him."
The big fish nodded and kicked Huang Ercang from the ground with one kick. Huangmao followed, and the two punched and kicked Huang Ercang from the ground.
Huangmao beat him for a while, turned around, and smashed the self-ringing bell with Huang Ercui's rifle, and then smashed the room into a mess.
The two were fighting, and a gunshot suddenly sounded outside the house. Huangmao turned his head and found that the village chief Wang Ergou in the yard was pulling his muzzle at the sky and retracting the rifle with smoke. He was already surrounded by people, all of whom, women, and young and old. He was holding a sickle, hoe, kitchen knife and rifle in his hand.
"The new village chief is here." Huangmao smiled and retreated quietly, standing next to Dayu and Huang Erzi, who was beaten to death.
"You two just came back today, and they did this kind of thing?" Wang Ergou was very young, but now he had a blue face and led so many people, which seemed to be of a unique majesty.
"Isn't this Ergou? Is there an official power now?" Huang Mao smiled, but pulled Huang Erclut on the ground up and blocked him. The rifle in his hand was placed on the other party's shoulder and facing the door. After all, there were at least 8 guns in the yard.
"Who was a scallion dog back then? Who was pestering my brother to join the Tiandihui? When I rebelled, you had never even touched the knife, and there was no chance of fighting in an armed battle! Now, I'm here to shout, brother?" Huangmao sneered outside the door.
"I won't talk about the past. Huang Ercui is a brother of our church and a fellow villager. We will not let you do anything." Ergou said coldly: "Miss Li's business was what she said when she was chatting in the village. After we entered the church, we realized that this was a serious sin. We advised her that she still had to kill babies for her parents in order to do one tael of silver at a time. I don't know who went to Fogang Hall to report to the officials, but I tell you that there are always people who will do it. This is a serious sin to go to hell."
"I sued the official! I can't allow such a thing to happen in my parish! Let Huang Ercuse go!" With a loud roar, Chen Guangming, a French foreigner, fucked the fluent Chinese-language Frenchman, separated everyone and came to the door.
The first time I saw a blonde and blue-eyed foreigner among a group of fellow villagers, the yellow-haired and the big fish were stunned.
Looking at the two people, Chen Guangming murmured first: "May the Lord forgive them, they don't know what they are doing!" Then he looked up and shouted: "Immediately let Huang Ercang go. Aunt Li is guilty! The church is doing the right thing!"
"You bastard! It turns out that it was you who reported to me! You cults! You don't believe in the Heavenly King at all!" The big fish's roar made Huang Mao dumbfounded. When he mentioned God, this guy was excited. His head was obviously broken in the Taiping Army. No matter who believes in the foreign religion, he will become an inexplicable fool.
"Let me go, yellow-haired and big fish. There are 300 people around you now. You just returned home, so you don't want to get bigger and bigger." Ergou barked.
"Damn, obviously I can't beat it! I don't know if the bullet in this gun was smashed by me just now? Even if there is one, what's the use of a bullet? It's too late to load it." Huang Mao thought angrily, looked at the big fish, and thought to himself: "Brother, I am worthy of you, brother."
Then he ignored the big fish a little stupidly, carefully lifted the gun from Huang Ercuizi's shoulder, slowly lifted it to the side for the people outside to see it. Then he let go of his hand and the gun fell to the ground.
Half an hour later, Huangmao and Dayu were surrounded by church people and were about to go to the Fogang Hall official office.
Dayu had no family anymore. His mother and sister-in-law were crying outside the crowd. My father didn't say a word because the sons of the Tiandihui had long known that they had caused similar things. Dad Huang, who had also been living in the world when he was young, could take it.
The bare-ass kids ran in front of the crowd, pointing at the big fish with dejected heads and shouting: "Beat people to hell! Beat people to hell!"
But Huangmao, who was tied up in the middle of the crowd, was full of anger: Within half an hour they broke into Huang Ercuizi's house, half a town had rushing out, because the two young people just returned home beat their church brothers without any worries, not only the strong men. From the old man to the young wife and the old woman, everyone was out indignant and held weapons, but the non-cultivators just stood at their door and pointed at them. It was simply a mess!
"No wonder you were bullied by the people of the eccles?!" Huang Mao gritted his teeth in his heart: "I am standing up for you to teach the bastards of the people, so you won't unite to fight against them? Damn, there are also people onlookers of the Tiandihui. Don't you talk about the friendship between the martial arts world? When the armed battle and the Tiandihui were in trouble, I wasn't so fucked! I was sent to the official position by them? It's over! My hometown was poisoned by the demon Chen Guangming!"
In Fogang Hall, Huangmao and Dayu were accused of having a gun and breaking into the house with guns and shooting at the owner. However, Huangmao was well-informed and defended that the gun was driven by the big fish, while Dayu was in the Taiping Army and did not use guns. They originally wanted to scare Huang Ercui, so they went off fire, but they went off fire after the other party closed the door. Moreover, the prodigal son returned home for ten years and his mother passed away, which was too big. There was no other meaning; otherwise they would have subdued Huang Ercui. Can't kill him directly? How could he just beat him up?
Because there were also people from the Tiandihui in the government, many of them started during the Red Army's uprising. Although they didn't know Huangmao, the other party was not only anti-Qing patriots, battlefield warriors, but also fellow villagers and fellow members. Moreover, Huang Ercui was only beaten up.
As a result, the two were sentenced to 20 whip, apologized to Huang Ercuti, and paid 100 taels of compensation----Dayu had no money, all of them were paid by Huang Mao, and he spent all his income and savings from fighting for four years. He originally wanted to keep it for him to marry a wife.
After being injured at home for a month, Huangmao said that he could not stay idle all the time and wanted to work in Foshan or Haijing Huizhou. The business was developed and the more open-minded Guangdong people also admitted to the flow. Huangmao's statement was very reasonable and the family would not object. After all, he would not be a tenant farmer and could not eat idle meals at home.
Huangmao and Dayu left their hometown together and headed towards Haijing.
Seven days later, amid the scattered barking of dogs, two black shadows touched Yangping Town. With the stars, they saw the cross on the top of the church and sneaked into the church quietly.
Shen Guangming was sleeping and suddenly woke up by a sound outside the door. He had just sat up on the bed and had not lit the oil lamp, the door lock was pushed away with a click, and two black shadows rushed in.
In horror, Shen Guangming immediately jumped out of bed and fought with the two black shadows. He was one head taller than the other and was strong, but in front of these two thin black shadows, he didn't even have a chance to fight back.
Boxing hit him, and the other party punched him on his soft neck, and then he was hugged by another person and raised his legs, and fell to the ground. Then two black shadows pounced on him and held his mouth and stabbed him with a sharp knife.
"Okay! Revenge for my mother, let's go!" The big fish's voice sounded in the bloody air.
"Don't be busy, this is not revenge, it's the thief coming in." The yellow-haired voice was still laughing in the dark, even though he had just stabbed another person 27 times.
While saying that, he pulled out the drawer in Shen Guangming's house, poured all the things to the ground, lifted up the bed sheet and threw it everywhere.
One hour later, on the boat, Huangmao threw all the valuable things from Shen Guangming into the river without any regrets - they are not thieves, they are justice.
"Shen Guangming, a French Catholic priest in Yangping Town, Fogang Hall, was stabbed 72 times and suspected of being killed by a thief" a few days later, this headline spread throughout the Song Dynasty with the newspapers and postal systems.
Zhao Kuo was not shocked when he saw this report. Now he started eating cotton yarn.
Compared with Christianity, the Catholic spirit is too extreme for the Chinese, and the congregations he developed are not the elites of Christianity. They are all lower-class people. It would be strange if they are not hated by the countryside. Four missionaries have died.
Each of the deceased courts of the Song Dynasty paid their relatives 15,000 francs, which was the standard life price for the French in the Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty had a strong diplomacy, which was only half of the life price of the French in Annan;
At the same time, seven nationals of the Song Dynasty were killed in Annan, and the price of the nationals of the Song Dynasty was 20,000 taels of silver.
The national life price is equal to whether you can fight or not. Will you fight for the sake of the people? France and the Song Dynasty can dispatch troops and warships for the people. This threat is equivalent to 20,000 taels per person, just like the French threat is equivalent to 1,500 francs. Of course, the Song Dynasty currently only dares to bully Annan.
Although he didn't care about betraying the farmers and threw them into the flesh and blood factory, Zhao Kuo was frowning, and there seemed to be a volcano under his butt. However, at this moment, the industrial Pandora's box had been opened and could not be controlled at all. The lesson plans began to increase, violent tax resistance and factory-destroying cases were common in Guangdong, a place that was hit hard by the machine. The ridiculous thing was that he had naively thought that Guangdong had the strongest butt. In fact, Guangdong was the most powerful resistance. Guangxi and Jiangxi in the farming society were incomparable. After he mistakenly let the arrogant generals of the Taiping Army and the Sun and Moon Army return home, he added fuel to the fire. At the same time, the torrent of bankrupt farmers began to flow toward the towns.
Hai Song began to slowly embark on the bloody road of industrialization and urbanization.
Huang Mao didn't care about the nothing in the newspaper. He came to Huizhou and found his original brothers. With his military achievements and Director Li Wenmao's kindness, he immediately joined the Huizhou Public Security Bureau and became an instigator. His name was also changed to Huang Fuming. Li Wenmao personally changed the heroic company commander who followed him to fight south and north.
Because of its strange beliefs and extreme rejection of the Taiping Army by the Song Dynasty, Dayu could not find any decent moves, so he could only go to Haijing to join the vast group of refugees and act as a coolie.
