Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

He also thought about the matter of the prince in the past two days, grazing sheep on the royal ranch, with Hong Chu, the Zuo Jianyi doctor, helping the situation behind him.

The prince was protected by Zhao Guan's family, and the sheep were also disposed of, but the chain of smuggling in collusion with Jin Guo also emerged.

More importantly, Hong Chu took Liu Yanqing's money.

Liu Yanqing is a general of the Northwest Forbidden Army. How big a network is behind this to promote Bao Xigong and Liu Guangshi?

The situation in the Northwest is complicated, and Gao Qiu has seen it with his own eyes. He went to the Western Army to make military achievements, and felt the chaos in various military towns.

After arriving at the gate of the Imperial City Department, just after midnight, Gao Qiu walked into the Imperial City Department's Yamen, and his subordinates had already prepared pastries and tea.

He interrogated Li in great detail.

After all the interrogation was over, Gao Lian came out wearily.

Looking at the color in the distance, he only said one sentence: black!So fucking black!

On the fifth day of October, at Choushi (1:3 am to [-]:[-] am), on Yanyan Road, the prefect's yamen in Yan'an Prefecture.

Wang Xie, the magistrate of Yan'an Prefecture, did not sleep, and it was impossible for him to sleep.

Similarly, Zhang Shen, the envoy of Fuyan Road Jinglu, did not sleep either, nor could he fall asleep.

Zhang Shen took a sip of tea, the skin and flesh on his face pulled down his hips, and his face was calm, as if wearing a livid mask.

"Has anyone been found?"

Zhang Shen's tone was hoarse, with a trace of impatience and temper.

Wang Xie sighed and said, "No."

"If we didn't find it, it means that we still don't know how many people went to the capital, who they saw in the capital, and what they said!"

"Zhang Shuai, I know the consequences."

"You don't know!" Zhang Shen suddenly became furious, he slapped the table angrily, and the tea on it was overturned, "You don't know what the consequences will be!"

"Zhang Shuai, I'm not looking for..."

"Do you know that Xi Gong and Liu Guangshi are being severely interrogated by the Military Governor's Mansion. You only know that Zhang Jun is thinking every day to replace me as an envoy! If I am removed, you will lose your head!"

"Calm down Zhang Shuai, the lower officials have already sent someone..."

"Send someone for what? Send someone to give Kang Wang a bloody BMW? Kang Wang has been transferred to Jingdong Road as an agricultural envoy. Do you think he can save you?"

Wang Xie's expression also darkened.

"Song and Jin truce, Zhang Jun entered Beijing to see His Majesty, even Zhe Yanzhi was announced to Beijing, His Majesty is going to attack us!"

"Impossible, the court dare not disturb, and there are frequent incidents in the northwest."

"Impossible? Do you know how many low-level military officers have been sent by the Jiangwu Hall to serve in Fuyan Road this year?" Zhang took a deep breath.

A large number of newcomers flocked to Yanyan Road to take up grassroots military positions, which was a severe challenge to the old school in the past.

"Then Liu Kai has also been transferred to Yanyan Road. As long as I am removed, he will be the next Jinglue envoy of Yanyan Road. Do you know what will happen to you when he takes over?"

Wang Xie's whole body trembled: "We have made contributions to Song Dynasty..."

Zhang Shen glanced at Wang Xie disdainfully: "Great meritorious deeds? In the Yan'an War, 10,000+ people died, and your magistrate ran away! You have a handle! Zhang Jun sent someone to check you every day! If it wasn't for me , you have long been sent to the capital to rectify the law on the spot!"

"Zhang Shuai, what shall we do now?"

Zhang Shen said coldly: "When necessary, you have to come out and admit everything."

Wang Xie knelt down directly: "Zhang Shuai, I have seniors and juniors!"

"You still have the face to say, I think you are not in a hurry at all, and you still have time to write love poems to Lay Yi An, why? Want to marry?"

"This... I just admire her talent..."

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Wang Zhifu."

Wang Xie quickly stood up, tidied up, and said, "Come in."

The one who came in was a young man with a strong physique. It seemed that he had served in the army for a long time. His name was Wang Ye, and he was the military commander of Yan'an Prefecture.

Wang Ye found that Zhang Shen was also here, and quickly said: "The last general will see Zhang Shuai!"

"no."

"Thank you Shuai Zhang!"

He turned to Wang Xie and said, "The man has been found."

Wang Xie immediately came to his senses: "Where is it?"

"It's in Liujia Village, Fushi County."

"Didn't you go there several times before and say there was no one?"

"That fellow is very cunning. He knew that we had been there several times and would not go again, so he went back to Liu's Village."

"This……"

On the one hand, Zhang Shen said impatiently: "What are you asking, hurry up and arrest him!"

Wang Xie said: "That's right! Go arrest people!"

"We surrounded the village, but we were worried that the fellow would run away in disguise like before, so we came back to ask for instructions."

"I will go there myself!" After speaking, Wang Xie strode out.

Zhang Shen reminded: "Be careful not to alarm the people in the Imperial City Division!"

After riding on the horse, he led the people all the way out of the county and headed towards Liujia Village.

At the end of the ugly time, the sleeping Liujiacun was awakened.

A group of people held firelights and entered the village, and the villagers peeked out from the cracks in the door.

Only someone outside shouted loudly: "We are from the magistrate's yamen. I heard that a murder case happened here some time ago. Wang Zhifu was furious when he heard about it. He came to administer justice in person today!"

Everyone wondered, what kind of justice did the government come to the village in the middle of the night?

Surrounded by everyone, Wang Xie walked in.

The winter night is extraordinarily bright, but the torches illuminate the village even brighter.

Wang Xie said: "I am the magistrate of Yan'an Prefecture. I feel really sorry for disturbing the folks and elders so late, but I only learned last night that a murder case occurred in Liujia Village in the past few months. Mian, I came here in person to uphold justice for everyone!"

In one of the rooms, a young man was peeking at him. When he heard the other party say that he was the magistrate of Yan'an Prefecture, he became emotional.

In the past few months, he tried every means to meet the magistrate of Yan'an Prefecture to avenge his brother, but he was blocked every time.

He is just a commoner at the lowest level, and it is as difficult as going to heaven to meet the high-ranking magistrate himself!

Now, the magistrate is here, right in front of you.

Wang Xie continued: "This official is heartbroken, and this matter is settled by this official! This official will find out the murderer and officials involved in the incident together! I will never forgive you lightly! Even if you lose the official hat on your head, or even This official's head must also give justice to all the folks!"

He speaks eloquently and is extremely contagious.

These villagers have never seen the magistrate before, and they all think that the magistrate is a good official who makes decisions for the people.

At this time, a boy came out.

The young man was skinny, unkempt, and said in a low voice, "Master Qingtian, please be the master for the little people!"

Chapter 331 The biggest corruption case (second update)

The boy stood there nervously, looking ahead timidly.

In front of many officials in Yan'an prefect's yamen, he is like a weak straw.

Under the beating firelight, gloomy and cold faces all looked at the boy in unison.

Each of them looked at him numbly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when the boy saw the expressions on those people's faces, it was as cold as the winter wind in early October.

With a gentle smile on Wang Xie's face, he walked towards the boy, who timidly took two steps back.

"Don't be afraid, I am the magistrate, if you have any grievances, tell me, I will deal with it fairly, and I will definitely return your innocence."

The boy hesitated for a moment, then nodded, with a delighted smile on his face.

"Go back to the magistrate's yamen with me, and talk slowly, come, come here, can you ride a horse? No, it doesn't matter, I let them drive you."

Wang Xie is like a parent who loves the people like a son.

The villagers did not come out.

A little girl piled up with her parents in the room and said, "Mother, where is Liu Sanlang going?"

"The magistrate has come to avenge him." The woman was also a little happy, "I really hope that the money deducted from us can also be made up."

"Deduct our money?" The little girl's eyes were full of doubts.

"It's nothing, it's your father's life money."

After the ugly time, the sky is getting darker and darker, and you can't see your fingers.

Fushi City, the governing office of Yan'an Mansion, was deserted, the streets were deserted, only the magistrate's yamen had lights.

"Come on, tell me, what happened?"

The young man knelt in front of Wang Xie and said: "The Eldest Master is the master for us. My Eldest Brother responded to the imperial court's call the year before last, enlisted in the army, and died in Yan'an. Only one of his [-] pensions was given to us. My father went to Asked, was beaten to death."

"Thirty pensions, who told you this?"

"When the soldiers were recruited that day, the recruiters said that there would be thirty pensions for those who died in battle."

"You heard it wrong, there are ten pensions for the war dead."

"Ten strings?"

"Yes, Shiguan."

"That……"

"It's true that someone has been corrupted. This officer will deal with it fairly. Tell me, where is your family?"

"My mother has gone to the capital, and my second brother and grandfather have gone to Jingzhao Mansion."

"Who told you that you can go to the capital to sue the imperial court, and who told you that you can go to Jingzhao Mansion? Don't get me wrong, I mean, you go directly to the Yamen of Yan'an Mansion to find this officer, this officer will avenge you."

"It was Wang Xiucai who gave us the usual pension at that time. When he learned that my father was beaten to death, he came to tell us and let us go to the capital and Jingzhao mansion separately."

"Wang Xiucai, what's your name?"

"I don't know, I only know that Dad called him Wang Xiucai."

This is justified. After the people below beat the man to death that day, they went to deal with the follow-up and found that the family had disappeared.

Villagers said their family packed their bags and left.

Then I began to doubt and went to court.

"When did your mother leave for the capital?"

"A month ago."

"Did you go alone?"

"With Wang Xiucai."

"Okay, I understand. I will handle this matter for you. During this time, you should stay in the yamen first."

Wang Xie came to the main hall and said, "Where is Zhang Shuai?"

"Zhang Shuai went to rest."

When it was almost dawn, Zhang Shen got up early, and Wang Xie was waiting.

"Zhang Shuai, I have asked." Wang Xie told the story.

"In this way, the previous guess is correct. I have already written to the capital to ask them to arrest people. As long as they are from Fushi County, Yan'an Prefecture, they will be arrested first!"

Zhang Shen let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as they cannot enter the capital, there is room for relaxation.

In ancient times, it was really not easy to catch wanted criminals, but it was not difficult to search for people at a fixed point, because there was a strict household registration system.

The Song Dynasty was an open dynasty. Because it wanted to promote commercial prosperity, it did not prohibit the movement of people.

Different from the good people and untouchable people in the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty abolished the lowly status, but divided it into "Fangguo households" and "village households".
