Seven, poison meter blood spatter health pool

Brother Yuan, who has many powerful people, is a mountain tiger of YuquanBa, and Zhao ×× as a township covenant, bent on eliminating the Yuan clan and monopolizing power. The two families of the former Zhao were fiercely tense, and there was a great tendency to trigger. In order to eliminate the threat of his neighbors, Wei Futang faked the hands of the Yuan clan and killed Zhao ×× brothers, directing a bloody tragedy.

Yuquan Dam is next to the "Yangshengtan" river. Across the river from the stone urn, there lived a gentleman Zhao ××, with a few guns in his hand, usually proud, taking people to the Yuquan Dam to rush to the scene, always flaunting his might, the original brothers on the street looked at him unfavorably, and they had long wanted to overthrow him and take the gun over. It was just that his strength was weak, and he did not dare to act rashly, so he came to ask Wei Futang, and an incident of killing people with a knife occurred.

On July 14, 1929, at a meeting on Yuquanba Street, the first soldier, ××, pointed out that the girl bao'er held a happy wine acting meeting. Early that morning, Wei Futang rode on a black mule, carrying dozens of guns, and rushed to Yuquan Dam, and everyone he met on the road thought that he was going to eat wine and watch acting, even if he had ulterior motives. He only lived in the large tree plain near the field, listening to the movements and preparing to respond without going out on the street.

Old Lady Wei and Zhao ×× sat side by side on the chief of the original family, raising a glass of wine shoulder to shoulder. The figure inside the trance door floated, as if someone was pulling a gun bolt, Zhao ×× knew that there was a change, he withdrew and left, Wang Xingzhi ran out of the side room, raised his gun to aim at Zhao ×× 3 times in a row, the gun did not start, Zhao ×× saw that things were not good, and immediately pulled out the "Seven Sons Company" from his arms to prepare to fight back, just reached out, and was splashed with a bowl of oil soup by Li Xiuchun, and then another pig knife was chopped to the ground, and then he poked two knives on his stomach, Zhao ××'s body was fat, his belly was as big as an altar, he was wearing a silk sweat coat, and when he boarded, his stomach was broken, and blood was splashed. Li Xiuchun sprayed his face, and a few people dragged the body to the side of the Yangshengtan River dam. Zhao ××'s brother Zhao Jiuzi carried a nine-son gun, smelled the change and rushed to the ground, only to run to the middle street was knocked unconscious by a burst of firewood, unsheathed the gun, and also dragged to the river, at this time the person was not dead, the mouth was still breathing, to the river to fill a shot, the head opened the flower, the blood of the two brothers flowed all over the dam, the river water was stained red. The rest of the people's guns were all packed up by the original family and put on the back of another person. Wei Futang immediately went to the street, saw the original ×× and said, "My arrangement should be good, right?" The whole Zhao Zhen is like 'catching a turtle in an urn, hand to hand.' Yuan replied: "The regiment leader really has a way, please sit down quickly, and finish the play." After the meal, Wei said to Yuan, "Whether the Zhao family's gun is good or bad, I will also take a look at it, and I will see it widely and widely." Yuan ×× called everyone to unload the gun, and his son was still a little reluctant, yuan said: "Take it off, I'm afraid of anything, they are all their own people." When the gun was finished, the people were gone, and Wei Futang said: "It is very dangerous to play with guns, since ancient times, you have died on guns and guns, you have died under the knife and knife, give me all the guns, you are in charge of things in YuquanBa, I will just support you, so as not to make you dangerous." Yuan ×× said hesitantly, "It's just that Brother Zhao ×× has two lives, what if his descendants want to take revenge in the future?" Wei Futang said, "Even if you have this little force, you can't keep the peace and quiet, and you have to rely on my big tree for shade, and in the future the sky will fall, and there will be me, a long man, on top of me." There was no choice: "That's fine, the regimental commander is really..." Saying that Bi Shen walked out of the door in frustration, he was stopped by Wei Futang again: "Tonight's play I ordered, just sing a 'Yuanmen Chopper'." Yuan replied, "Good play! Good drama! After yuan went out, he happened to meet Du Bing, who usually likes to joke, and Du quipped: "This surname Yuan should be the rudder handle." Yuan Pi smiled and said without smiling, "Today is really a table of wine, a drama, a dead family." Du casually replied, "Two lives, two hearts, two wealth." Yuan ×× turned his head and glanced at Du Bingyi fiercely.

Zhao ××, nicknamed "Skinny Shelf", was very rich in the family, he was zhao ××'s uncle, since the death of Zhao ×× brother, his heart was really indignant, and quietly sued Wei Futang twice, the county could not afford to provoke the surname Wei, plus the officials and officials were guarded, so the form was suppressed, and there was no movement at all. After Wei Futang found out, he got the thin shelf and put him under house arrest in the water gutter, and the daily wine and vegetables would not let him go back. One day he said to Zhao, "What do you do with making so much money?" I'm very troublesome to run the regiment, and I'm going to borrow some money from you. Zhao ×× understood, asked his family to do 400 hard oceans, and Zhao, who had been detained for more than two months, was able to get out. Before leaving, Wei Futang also took out a leather jacket and gave it to him, saying to Zhao, "You are older and wear a hot fit." "Insidious people have always come to such a hand.

In 1931, Wei Futang took revenge and instructed the Silver Boys to kill the peasant Shen Zhiyuan. He also falsely accused Yin of having an adulterous affair with Shen's wife Xu Shi, and shot and killed the Silver Boy and Xu Shen's two people at the side of the cannabis willow tree in Sanhekou.

In 1932, Wei Futang sent Qiang Tingyi to an Anle River for official business, and captured a man named Deng Chaolun, saying that he was carrying a copper dollar with a scythe and axe pattern, which was considered to be a serious suspect and shot by the Kuomintang army.

Viii. The struggle of the two brothers in power

Originally, Aokigawa's world belonged to the three brothers of the Wei family, but later, the eldest and second elders and the rivers fell day by day, and the power was concentrated in the hands of Wei Futang. Brothers often fight with each other, openly and secretly, and although the big face has not been broken, there is a momentum of imminent attack between them. It just so happened that Wei Lao'er's nephew ××× had always hooked up with women ×××, and ××× was also a subordinate of Wei Futang and was very favored. Once ××× went home to catch the adulteress, tied up his ××× and hung them up and beat him fiercely. When Wei Lao'er learned of this, he was furious and said, "××× ate thunder guts, dared to hang my relatives up, and went to personally collect the gun, this is obviously to hit Zhou Cangjiri to hurt Guan Ye's face, and I can't go over, is this worth it?!" A person next to him said: "That kind of practice is not possible, I insist on collecting the gun, I am afraid that ××× I will not give it, and in the future, the regiment commander will not agree when he knows it, but he will be angry, and I will have my own way to get the gun." The man found ××× said, "Yesterday when I was fighting, the gun got stuck, borrow your gun from me for a day, and I will pay you back." ××× believed it and was an acquaintance, so he gave him the gun, and the gun fell into Wei Lao'er's hands. After Wei Futang knew the ins and outs, he also had a plan and sent someone to say to ×××, "The women of the × family want to talk to you on the street." "××× came joyfully, and when they walked together, they were tied up by a rope. When the matter was exposed, Wei Futang and his second brother quarreled in the Lin family's tea shop, and one of them said: "Your relatives eat indiscriminately and prostitute themselves, bullying the × family, you took my gun again, deceiving people too much, is there any wang fa reason?" One said: "××× dog fights the situation, beat my relatives, you don't care about teaching, but also give support, it is really a bastard." When Wei Futang heard this, the nameless anger was high, and he was greeted by a tea bowl, which hit Wei Lao'er with a long stream of water around him. The tea drinkers were stunned, and no one dared to come forward to dissuade them. Wei Lao'er was very close to home, ran back three or two steps, dragged a Hanyang gun, and rushed to the center of the street, and the bolt of the gun rattled. Wei Futang also jumped out of the teahouse door and pulled out a pistol to open the nose. The people on both sides pulled each other and twisted into a circle, and they were not allowed to open hands. Elder Wei and the old lady ran down the street breathlessly, and the old lady stepped forward to hug Wei Futang and said angrily, "Today you are all crazy, why did your brother play with guns and make fire?" Wei Futang said loudly, "He protected my relatives and withheld my gun, telling me how to treat my brothers in the future and manage the place." Elder Wei, who was twisted by Elder Wei over there, shouted, "He helped his men straighten out my relatives, hurt my face, and came to play crooked." The old lady said, "It's very strange, should you play with guns for your relatives and for his two brothers?" Don't be afraid of jokes. "The two sides are still fierce, noisy and noisy. The old lady panicked at this time, and when she saw that she could not stop it, she suddenly knelt in the middle of the street and shouted: "You don't listen to the greeting, that's very good, first shoot me to death." Only then did Wei Futang and Wei Lao'er soften. The people on both sides of the persuasion push one, I pull one, and everyone disperses. After a boiling in the street, it was suddenly quiet. At night, There were bright lights flashing on Boss Wei's tall building, and there was the fourth master sitting on the table, and Elder Wei shook his fat head and said in a hoarse voice: "The second and third elders have some good and bad things today, and on the good side, our brothers are kind to others and do not show selfish feelings, and the bad aspect is that 'fucking in the same room' hurts the brothers and the brothers, tonight the father and son brothers eat this cup of harmony wine, the knots are unraveled, the qi is dispersed, your brothers' affairs will be better handled in the future, and everyone's affairs are not hopeful?" I remember two sentences in the Four Books, 'Man will insult himself, then man will insult him, and the kingdom will cut itself down and then man will cut it down,' and these few words are firmly remembered, which are the main capital of your brothers. ”

IX. Make Friends with the Government The devil's claws are stretched out

Just as the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China was marching north to resist Japan and climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing meadows, the Kuomintang army, in order to intercept the anti-Japanese Red Army, also drove to the upper reaches of the Bailong River in an attempt to occupy a strategically important area, and successively came the 49th Division, the 60th Division, and other troops. When the first group of troops passed through the Aoki River, Wei Futang led the masses to set off artillery, warmly welcomed the division commander Hu Zongnan, and also specially invited him to his home, at a sumptuous banquet, Wei Futang gave Hu Zongnan a toast, and Hu asked Wei to drink a cup first, and then he finished the table with the wine in the cup. Afterwards, Hu praised Wei Futang for his efforts to maintain local law and order, and encouraged him to continue his efforts to actively support the troops. Although it was a one-sided friendship, it played a great role in Wei Futang's later flying Yellow Tengda. The Independent Brigade's Ding Faron troops lived in Bikou for a long time, and the bandit troops stationed along the river had to buy grain and goods in the area of the Aoki River, and Wei Futang had close contact with the superior officers of the bandit army, and the fight was fierce. Liu Chaohuan, the commander of the Third Regiment of bandits, had been ill in his family for a long time, and together with Deputy Brigade Commander Cao Rihui and Commander Pan, they were called brothers and brothers, and they responded to everything they needed. Wei Futang seized the opportunity to do everything the bandit army needed, so he desperately served, catered to his wishes, and tried his best to meet the requirements of the bandit army, and the bandit army praised him for his enthusiasm for doing things and harmonious relations between the military and the people, and rewarded him with a large number of guns and weapons to strengthen his armed forces. He also renamed the militia regiment as a self-defense regiment, which was appointed by the bandit army by explicit order, and its name was justified and the banner was clear. Ding Faron shot the Gansu bully where. "After beating the yellow bull and frightening the black bull", Wei Futang was terrified and frightened, and the actions of the bandits became uncertain, at this time, Shen Zhirong's mother told him to rape and judge the bully and kill people in Bikou. Wei Bai interceded, bought up and down, and as a result, he compensated Shen with a life price of 200 yuan as a pension expense for Shen's wife. Since then, Wei Futang has become more deeply rooted, and no one can shake it. Two years later, wei Xiru, the commissioner of the puppet Hanzhong, patrolled the border and came to Aoki River to see the local area and understand wei Futang's personal situation. After the meeting, after a few days of circumvention, he saw that as long as Wei Futang did not plant big smoke to bring him trouble, he could also be a good dog guarding the door in the western region, which was of great benefit to him sitting in the commissioner town, so he changed Wei's title of self-defense regiment and directly organized it into the "Ningqiang County Independent Self-Defense Brigade" to give him the seal and seal the official, and listed it as an orthodox local unit. In this case, it was not "usurpation of the king" but was ordered by the "court", and he also wrote two plaques in his own handwriting to give to Wei Futang, hanging in the middle hall, shining gold characters, black and bright plaques, adding a lot of brilliance, and also adding a lot of political capital to Wei Futang's ostentatious façade.

This banner of the "Independent Self-Defense Brigade" has been playing for more than ten years, and the upper communications and county government offices have suppressed the local armor protection personnel, ordered them to come out casually, and said the final word. Whenever an event occurred during the New Year's Festival wedding and funeral, Wei Futang's envoys took white ears, fragrant mushrooms, leopard skins, bear biles, and other precious mountain goods and went out everywhere, drinking and ear-warming in the banquet venues of the "dignitaries and nobles". Commissioners, deputy commanders, security regimental commanders, garrison commanders, and the following county, section, bureau, and other Kuomintang officials and officials did not accept gifts and gifts from Wei Futang. What speakers, senators, gentry, magnates, on weekdays, people's gifts are continuous, private letters when there are problems, secret transmission, mutual information, and common interests. Above and below, light and dark, collude into one, intertwined into a net of heaven and earth that weighs on the people's heads, and no one can move. In particular, during the period of anti-smoking in our county, the armed cultivation of tobacco in nanshan was rampant, and the Ningqiang county government had no way to do anything, coupled with the boasting and collusion of a group of powerful gentlemen and magnates in the city who had good relations with Wei Futang, they turned to Wei Futang to send troops into the city to garrison the defense. One year, the security team went to Nanshan to ban smoking, but was defeated by the locals, and the county invited Wei Futang to lead the team to help. When Wei Fu Tang entered the county, the soldiers he led stretched for several miles from Wulipo to Beiguan, and the momentum seemed to be still majestic, and the county officials and gentry bowed their heads and listened to each other, and welcomed them in the middle of the road. When Wei Futang arrived in Nanshan, he heard the report of the captain sent first: "The bandits in Nanshan shouted three sentences: 'Capture Zhang Xiaolian alive, capture Zhang Xiaolian alive, and do not beat Wei Futang.'" He then said: "It seems that Nanshan does not want to be an enemy of us, so-called: 'Attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom', we should first salute and then soldier." So he wrote a letter to Yang Liukui and Huang Deyi, which read: "I and my feet, each in the southwest, there is no vendetta, and now the order is calling, I have to come, and the prohibition of planting tobacco is the basis of the national policy, and who can disobey." You and I are all a bullet power ear, want to compete with the government, just like hitting the stone with a pebble, it is advisable to confess guilt and shovel smoke, the party is the best policy, the ancient knowledge of the current affairs fang is Junjie, can not be an endless disaster. Sure enough, the other side was willing to shovel smoke and strike and talk about peace. After that, Wei Futang's signboard became brighter and brighter, and he wielded a butcher knife and became more unscrupulous in the vast areas along the border of the three provinces.

10. The inside story of a life of extreme poverty and luxury

Wei Futang played the role of Chengdu for tourism promotion.

It is already very inconvenient to live in the old nest of Shuicaogou to override the Aoki River. And Fang Dixian, who is familiar with the feng shui of the earth vein, also said: "The mountain behind the water trough ditch is majestic but there is no main vein, the front ditch is deep and drains the aura, it is not willing to send people, and it is difficult to ensure that the descendants are 'rich and long'." In 1933, Wei Futang returned to Weijiaba to choose Jidi, built a large number of civil engineering, and built a new nest. The houses built here are even more spacious and tall and magnificent than the sinks and ditches. Two large courtyards side by side, two deep, two patios and with a wide hall, one is an ancient architectural style, the other with the flavor of a fake bungalow, people are accustomed to separate called "new house" and "old house". Inside lived the old lady and the five-room wife, several children, and more than a dozen large and small slaves. All of them lived in the deepest part of the backyard, and the lower ones lived in the outer courtyard and upstairs.

The old woman has been eating and praying the Buddha all her life, and there is a Buddhist hall in the main hall house in the backyard, which is the place where the old woman prays the sutra and worships the Buddha. Mrs. Wufang has a portal, two of which are the biological sisters of the × family, all called the big ×, the little ×, when marrying the little ×, Wei Futang asked people to say kiss, the matchmaker said: "Marry the sister first, then take the sister, it is a new and strange thing, why not open your mouth." Wei Futang said, "People don't do strange things and are not famous." "Or forced to take the little × over and become the sixth wife in the future." Because Wei Futang favored × family's humanistic style, wide talent, good eugenic conditions, "smart kind", although he has five or six women, but he does not have a son, the eldest ×, the small × to give birth to boys, then it must be smart, "the dragon can give birth to the dragon." In order to get the boy to pass on the generations, Wei Futang did not know how many medicines he had taken, and he had also read the book "Seed Immortal Formula". Earlier, the fifth wife of the × family gave birth to a boy named "Guoqing", who died of illness at the age of 4, and was buried with a large coffin and buried with many satin clothes. He missed the women of the Fang Luo family, and put the "wooden lord" in glass and enshrined it, and he had to pay tribute to it during the New Year's Festival. Whenever a woman gives birth to a child, she must go to the ancestral hall to burn incense, worship God, prostrate, and pray. At the same time, he also wished the dead Woman of the Luo family and blessed him with an early son. Before liberation, there were two boys.

Wei Futang had a total of 6 women, the eldest Luo Shi died first, and the remaining 5 women each took turns to stay for 3 nights and manage the kitchen for 3 days. Wei Futang loves to eat stir-fried vegetables and roasted bacon, and the small kitchen has to be prepared every day. He never ate with women in the room, ate with Tu Deming in the study every day, and did not allow women to ask about local affairs. His body is relatively fat, it is inconvenient to wear, and morning and evening are worn off by women's attendants, undressed, buttoned. When he was young, he also liked to ask two women to sleep with him in the same bunk, so some people said: "Three people and one bed will be, men and women are not matched, and six feet will sleep." ”

A woman surnamed X, whom everyone calls "The Escort King", is the housekeeper who leads and cares for Taibao and Miss Qianjin. She maneuvered between several wives, accustomed to pandering to the offerings, playing tricks on power, and the people inside were afraid of her. The servants have Meixiang, Guixiang, Yufang, Chunlan and other rooms to serve the master, manage the personal affairs, hold tea and water, freshen up, take clothes and decorations. In addition, the rough man brought food to deliver food, washed the quilt, and reported the matter. The large and small stoves are separated, the long-term servants open the large stoves, and the small kitchen is specially used for cooking and inviting guests. Old Jiang was specifically responsible for giving food to the small kitchen. These mothers-in-law, wives, and young masters and ladies are dressed up in luxury and have a beautiful posture all year round. Even the servants and slaves are well-dressed and outstanding. Each meal is not separated from chicken, duck and fish meat, and fresh fruits. The table is fat and thin, the wine is fragrant, it is really a golden food, and it is inexhaustible. The interior of the house is furnished, high cabinets and low cabinets, depicted gold appliqués, paint shiny. Porcelain vases of jade, dazzling. There is a garden fish pond in front of the door, and it is enough to enjoy the daily swimming. When the flowers are on the night of the moon, it is even more exciting. Rich and noble, joyful and twilight, He Is Heaven on Earth. If you encounter a day, or the meeting period of the God Race, or the greeting of relatives and guests, bicycles, rickshaws, people and horses are a big road, full of pride and shine. "There is no cold and warmth in a year, and there is a fragrance at four o'clock", especially the two women who are favored by Wei, dressed neatly and wear a ring, which is more luxurious and colorful. If you compare their luxury and pleasure with the peasant women and village girls, it is really "dung soil" for others. But there is one thing, Wei Futang, none of these women are "born beautiful, talented", and they are all silver wax gun heads, dressed well but not useful, none of them can be serious. Wei Futang is generally fond of the new and tired of the old for women, and at the beginning he loves like a treasure, and he is eager to hold it in his mouth, but he does not like it much in the future. The woman of the X family burned a lot of smoke due to illness, and she entered the "cold palace" for many years without coming to the door and ignoring it. If a woman is willing to have a child, it is particularly pampered. The fifth wife had no talent, and she was not very likeable, but later she gave birth to two sons, and she received special preferential treatment from Wei Futang, and everything had to be looked at more preciously. Among them, xx is a fox charmer, light and thin, a wave, the most loved to pick a lamp from it, provoking wrong, once when he was taking a fire around the stove, Wei Futang was also burning for a thing, XX did not recognize the color, constantly joked and ridiculed, showed off the style, and provoked Wei Futang, a whip beat wei fu tang like a stream, but XX wiped the tears while giving Wei Fu tang a waist and touching his legs, making everyone laugh. The Weifu Tang kings were strict and vicious, and which woman was wrong, the light ones were insulted, whipped, and punished for kneeling, and the heavy ones were confined, did not give food, were not allowed to sleep, and even said that they would be killed with guns. In particular, those few women who have no children really have the feeling of "accompanying the king like accompanying the tiger". Usually, it was as if the little ghost had seen the King of Yama, and the head of the fire did not dare to speak openly, and the local affairs were even more afraid to ask questions.

There is also a three-storey high ocean house on the street, followed by three painted courtyards, in addition to more than ten street doors between the streets, and there are more than 200 houses in the countryside and on various lands. In the bungalow, plaques are hung on all sides, gold characters flash, according to the stone cylinder inscription, this room was built around 1944. This bungalow is famous for being the only most exquisite house in our county at the time. In the later period of the Wei and Tang dynasties, there were extensive exchanges and frequent social gatherings, and all those who received official officials and guests from other places, bungalows and successive "auxiliary friends clubs" became important places for entertaining and living. On the door of the western-style room, a stone pillar couplet reads, "The wind of the deep courtyard and the birds and birds greet each other, and the high jai day Li Lin Phoenix comes." This word is still written in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, the house is fully furnished, the new style home bought from Chongqing has sofas, rattan chairs, curtains, hanging tents, dressing mirrors, etc., and the furniture in the house and the carved window painting columns reflect each other, which is more exquisite and elegant.

When a banquet guest invites wine, entertains guests, whether it is on the street or in the countryside, they are very particular about eating and drinking, generally they are mountain treasures and seafood, high-class feasts, flying pots, full of noise, brought in and out, and the courtyard is like a city. Eating and drinking is playing mahjong for recreation, or calling these jianghu singers who play flower drums or string soloists for them to find fun.

Before his death, Wei Futang recruited migrant workers and built a rather spectacular mausoleum for him, surrounded by green brick walls, with a tall archway entitled "Wei's Tomb" on the front, and planted trees and bamboo outside the wall to cultivate scenery, which cost the countless blood and sweat of the working people. And also selected a few pairs of high-grade cypress wood to make a few coffins, the outside is pasted with gold brush paint, the inside is scarlet and silk, long and wide, ready to be used for the elderly. These practices inherit the custom of having to make noble enjoyment arrangements after the death of successive feudal rulers.

The huge housing complex of various precision techniques and the many exquisite luxuries enjoyed in life are the crystallization of the blood and sweat of the vast number of working people, and are enough to show the greatness of the creativity of the working people and the high degree of artistic achievement.
