The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

The second fire for the new official to take office is to let all the merchants of Happy Forest come to the government to register, and the government will issue a property certificate with a big seal, just like a land deed, whose name belongs to whomever it is.

Just like Shi En and Jiang Menshen, if they didn't compete for the ownership of the hotel, there would be so many things.

If a legally operated shop encounters robbery, it can come to the government to write a complaint and report to the official.

Although it is not possible to completely eradicate forcible behavior, at least it has regulated a lot on the surface.

Considering that Happy Forest is far away from Mengzhou City, and the government cannot show up in time when something happens, the store will seek underground forces. Its name is: the magistrate sent out the yamen.

Specialized in managing the law and order of Happy Forest, and dispatched a master and several yamen servants to solve any fights in time.

Although the past of these government servants may breed corruption and take advantage of the happy forest shop, it is better than letting Shi En tributary and other underground dark forces solve the problem. The money also falls into the hands of the government, so as not to flow to outsiders.

Besides, his subordinates all knew that Gao Ming was a ruthless guy, he didn't dare to obey others, he worked hard in every way, he only dared to secretly get some money for his hard work, if he didn't dare to take cards, he worked hard to maintain the law and order of Happy Forest.

Sun Erniang's black shop on Shizipo was completely demolished, and a big inn in Happy Forest was built there to build a decent hotel.

Because Shizipo is the first resting place to cross the mountain and enter Mengzhou. People who are exhausted from climbing the mountain need a place to drink tea and water. This is why Sun Erniang can repeatedly kill people.

The passers-by on Shizipo are not as rich as the merchants in Happy Forest, but mosquito legs are also meat, and it is ordered by the magistrate, so they dare not disobey. Soon the hotel was built and put into business.

Because Sun Erniang's case was widely circulated, no one entered the hotel when it was built, and every one of them ran away in fright when they saw the waiter who was soliciting customers.

After Gao Ming knew about it, he asked someone to set up a huge board in front of the shop: Mengzhou prefect Yamen was authorized to operate the hotel, and there was a big red official stamp on it.

He also asked two yamen servants to stand at the door to embolden passers-by.

Gradually, some tourists tried to go in. Seeing that the store was clean and tidy, and they didn’t die after eating it, they went back to their hometown to tell the story. Slowly relying on word of mouth, Shizipo gradually returned to normal.

As for Gao Ming's third fire, he really wanted to get angry.

Some people are military officers under his command.

Since Gao Ming took office, he has found out the Shizipo murder case and Wu Song's whereabouts. He also sent an official document to Qingzhou to help arrest him. no problem.

However, the military attache under his rule, headed by the commander Ma Hong, had a negative attitude towards him and was obviously disobedient.

Shi Qian was originally a regular soldier, and he had been in the army for more than a year. Seeing that the time was almost up, Gao Ming promoted Shi Qian to be a general, yearning for a promotion.

Not long after the order was issued, the Metropolitan Supervisor Miao Chuan begged to see Gao Ming.

There are two prisons in this state's quota. Zhang Dujian died before, and Miao Chuan is now the only remaining prisoner.

Miao Chuan was in his forties, with big shoulders, a purple face, and beards. When he came to see Gao Ming, he was wearing a suit of armor. When he walked, his steps were heavy, and he looked even more muscular and oppressive. .

Gao Ming was dressed in casual clothes and met him in the back hall of the yamen. Seeing his attire, he smiled and said, "Why are you dressed like this? Did you just come from the martial arts training at the school?"

Miao Dujian's face was swollen, he cupped his fists perfunctorily at Gao Ming, and then stood up straight, "I didn't come here for any other reason, but I heard that the lord called Shiqian to be a general, so I thought it was inappropriate. Please take it back, my lord!"

Yo, do you think it's wrong?Gao Ming kept smiling, "Captain, what do you think is wrong?"

The last time I asked you to arrest Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing, why didn't you come? I haven't settled with you yet, but now that I've been promoted to be a dentist, you've jumped out.

There are not ten tooth generals in Mengzhou, but eight. Will there be one later?

It was clearly aimed at Gao Ming, and she made it clear that she tripped him up and refused to accept his control.

Now even if Gao Ming said that it will snow in winter, they have to argue that there will be sleet and rain in warm winter.

During these days, he also figured out why this group of generals were so disobedient. To put it bluntly, they were used to it.

The former magistrate knew who he was just because he let Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing occupy Shizipo to commit crimes, regardless of asking.

Basically, it is passive sabotage, no one can be offended, the law and order in Mengzhou is a mess, let alone the military camp.

Although the current dynasty uses culture to control military affairs, the former magistrate didn't care about the military camp, and the power was in Ma Hong's hands. Ma Hong had the final say on matters in the military camp.

Besides, this group of warriors, from the bottom of their hearts, who is willing to surrender to civil officials, since the magistrate doesn't care about them, they can do whatever they want.

Unexpectedly, in addition to ending Zhang Dujian, Wudutou also ended their good life. The useless magistrate was dismissed, and the new magistrate came up and dispatched them.

In their view, it's ridiculous. The magistrates who were "highly respected" Jinshi didn't control us before. What are you, a fledgling Gao Ya Nei? !

Gao Ming knows very well that power is not given, but comes from struggle.

Even in later generations, in a class as small as a class, the head teacher and the students will see power. If the head teacher can't sit still, the students will be lawless.

And the self-contained generals, who are used to being undisciplined, are like a herd of wild horses, how could Gao Ming voluntarily put the saddle and bit on them as soon as they came up.

So what if Gao Yanei's father is Gao Qiu?Things are complicated locally.

The big deal is that from the control to the capital prison, they will voluntarily resign, and the sergeants below are all brought out by them. Seeing that the superiors are protecting an incompetent yamen and driving away their beloved general, they may mutiny.

If you are not careful, you will get a major event. The court is most afraid of mutiny and insomnia at night. It is very cautious about this kind of thing, and it may not protect Gao Yanei. In the end, either Gao Yanei will no longer take care of military affairs Either Gao Yanei was transferred away.

Knowing this, they stubbornly refused to accept Gao Zhifu, and they would never transfer any power to Gao Ming.

Gao Ming also knows that fighting back and forth is all about power.

He will accompany you!

Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

"I saw that Shi Qian was completely skinny, and he couldn't carry a knife or ride a horse. How could he be a general?" Miao Dujian said loudly, "I knew that Shi Qian was brought from Tokyo by my lord. I don't care what it is, but this Mengzhou is not in favor of nepotism!"

When Gao Ming heard it, he became angry, what kind of thing are you, you dare to turn around and teach me a lesson?

After Miao Dujian finished speaking, he just waited for Gao Ming to get angry. It would be better for him to get angry. .

He would only think that he, the governor, would not allow the prefect to be nepotistic and speak up for justice, but instead he would be beaten and scolded.

Gao Ming raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Miao Dujian, I remember that you were born in martial arts. That's really interesting. There are also friends in my family who have passed the martial arts exam. How can I remember that you not only have to take the bow and archery exam, but How about strategy theory. In the eyes of the governor, is it enough for a general to ride a horse and carry a knife? As for military books, it’s better to blow your nose paper, is that what you mean?”

Miao Dujian was startled, he missed a word just now, and quickly changed his words: "Strategy is of course also very important, but at that time, there was no such thing as strategy."

"Hehe, I don't see that you have any superior strategy." Gao Ming said calmly and dissatisfied: "That day, the government asked you to go to Shizipo, but you were not there. By the way, I haven't asked you yet. , what did you do that day?"

Miao Dujian and the few people who didn't show up all confessed, "I was unwell that day, and I was recuperating at home. I didn't receive the order from the lord. Please forgive me."

Gao Ming snorted loudly: "Miao Dujian, your words are totally incoherent. You said that Shi Qian couldn't carry a knife on a horse. What about you? One day when some villains attack Mengzhou City, do you still feel unwell at home? You feel unwell all day long, could it be that you are pregnant and need to rest for ten months?"

In this day and age, scolding someone for being a woman is on the same level as scolding one's ancestors, especially when scolding a general.

Miao Dujian didn't expect that he would take the initiative to find fault with Gao Ming, instead of getting angry with Gao Ming, he was scolded bloody, and his purple-colored face turned black and purple, and his whole body trembled.

Gao Ming glared at him, and said word by word: "Go back and tell those who are also unwell, if you are absent again, the government will give you maternity leave!" Then he slapped the table, "Get out!"

Miao Dujian knew that he was not Gao Ming's opponent today, so he said angrily: "The last general will leave!" Then he turned and left.

After he left, Gao Ming blew on the red palm, it really hurt, next time you can't pat the table, it's better to throw the teacup.

He got up, walked to the door, looked at the back of Miao Dujian walking out, hummed heavily, and walked into the back hall with a flick of his sleeve.

-

Gao Ming received Hua Rong's reply. He happily blessed Gao Ming's promotion to the magistrate, but he said that Qingzhou really couldn't leave, and he didn't have time to go to play, so we can wait for a while.

Gao Ming was very disappointed. He took up a pen to write a reply, but he didn't know what to write, so he put it on hold for the time being and did not reply.

Early the next morning, Gao Mingsheng dealt with several accumulated cases, and he didn't leave the court tired until the evening.

As soon as I got back to my residence in the backyard, I took off my red official uniform and changed into a regular one, then lay down on the bed, "...I can't do it, I'm so tired... I have to take care of a few more masters..."

At this time, the servant girl came in and called softly: "My lord, my lord?"

Gao Ming didn't even bother to turn his head, "What's the matter?"

"Ma Tongzhi and some generals said they wanted to see you." Seeing that Gao Ming was tired, the servant girl whispered.

Gao Ming had no choice but to get up. It seems that after scolding people yesterday, he came to demonstrate today. It's good. Anyway, he's free. He will meet them and see what he's going to do.

Gao Ming came to the living room, and as soon as he entered, he saw a dozen burly men standing inside. When he saw Gao Ming, he greeted him in unison: "See you, Mr. Zhifu!"

All of them look like hills, not to mention, they are quite oppressive.

Gao Ming walked in front of them, and obviously felt tiger-like eyes looking at him, as if he had walked into a herd of wild beasts.

Gao Ming walked to the upper seat and sat down. At this time, a long-bearded man in his 40s came up and said, "Ma Hong, the last general, see the magistrate."

You guys finally showed up.

Gao Ming saw that he had a leopard head with ring eyes, dark skin, and a long scar on his right eye, making his whole face even more ferocious.

"Ma Guanzhi, there is no need to be too polite." Gao Ming looked around and said lightly: "All the generals are gathered here at this time. I see that you are all powerful. It is a blessing for this state to have talents like you. My government Fortunately."

Ma Tongzhi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Yes, they are all seven-foot men."

These people had already learned from Miao Dujian how the magistrate scolded them yesterday, and now that they had been reminded by the Ma Tongzhi, they all remembered, and they all looked at Gao Ming with their necks straightened.

Compared with these people, Gao Ming's size is extremely weak. On the surface, he looks like a lamb fallen into a wolf's den, weak and helpless.

But he had already seen through that these people were just rough men who were only following Mahon's orders.

In the army, everyone obeys their superiors, but the superiors follow the lead, and this superior is the one who controls Ma Hong.

Gao Ming looked at Ma Hong unhurriedly, "Ma Tongzhi, what's the matter with bringing so many generals here today? Then Erniang Sun and others have already been captured, so I won't bother you."

Gao Ming also reminded them that if you are making a fuss, if you don't show up when you are asked to contribute, it is dereliction of duty in itself, and I will remember it.

Ma Hong also laughed, "That's how it is. Today, in the school field competition, the tooth general Shi Qian lost to Qiu Tuanlian and fell off the horse. Because he knew that Shi Qian was your confidant, and he was afraid of hurting him. You blame him, so everyone Let's all come to plead guilty."

But Qiu Tuanlian took a step forward, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and said, "It's all the fault of the humble staff. Today I performed martial arts and competed in the school field. Who would have thought that Shi Yajiang and I would fight for a round, and if he made a mistake, he fell off the horse." .Please come down, my lord!"

At this time, Miao Dujian jumped out again, and said: "In the martial arts competition, there were casualties, sir, you won't blame me?"

Gao Ming took a deep breath, and with a smile, he swept across their faces one by one.

OK!You guys are waiting for me!If you don't clean up, I will take your surname!

Gao Ming flicked the table with his finger, and said casually: "Miao Dujian is right, it is normal for martial arts competitions to cause casualties, everyone is normal."

Several other generals nodded one after another, "That's the reason! Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second. Once there is a fight, the winner will be determined."

Gao Ming nodded with a smile, "Everyone is well said, so, do you have anything else to do? The government is trying the case today, and my back is sore. If not, go back."

Ma Hong asked bluntly: "Your Excellency won't blame you for hurting General Shi Ya?"

Gao Ming said with a bright smile: "It's all a normal competition, how can you blame him? And it's because the tooth general is not as skilled as others, so the government has dismissed him from his post now."

Ma Hong said somewhat proudly: "My lord is really just."

Gao Ming smiled, "If it's all right, everyone can go back."

Ma Hong and the others all bowed to each other, "Farewell, general!" After saying that, they turned around and left without even looking at Gao Ming.

When the people left, Gao Ming was so angry that he threw the teacup on the ground, and the fragments flew.

-

After leaving the magistrate's yamen, Ma Hong and others rode horses back to their mansion.

Miao Dujian rode a horse and walked side by side with Ma Hong, "He's just a brat with full hair, and he puts on the airs of a magistrate."

Ma Hong's body swayed slightly with the horse's pace, and hummed: "If you don't give him a blow, you still don't know what you are."

Qiu Tuanlian said proudly: "I can see that he has been subdued. He was so frightened that he didn't even say a single word. Where is the posture of losing his temper with the governor yesterday? He is a child after all. If you scare him, you don't know what to do." At a loss, even Shi Qian was relieved of his military post and gave up a lot, hehe, if he was tough to the end, I would still admire him a bit, but in the end, he was so calm and intimidating."

"It's just a dandy from Tokyo, and because he's a captain, he's just an idiot with a strong outsider!" Ma Hong gave Gao Ming a judgment.

The other two heard it, and even claimed that it was true, and the group happily rode back home.

-

After Gao Ming waited for Ma Hong and the others to leave, he immediately asked someone to carry Shi Qian in. He saw bruises all over his body, and there was a bloody wound on his left arm.

Gao Ming asked the doctor to show it to Shi Qian, and it was true that no bones were injured, but the injury was not serious, it was only close to breaking the bones.

Gao Ming couldn't help asking: "What's going on?"

"As soon as I entered the school grounds today, I saw gongs and drums shaking the sky. The commander said that he wanted to perform martial arts. He gave me a set of heavy armor and a strong horse. At that time, there were people who agreed with him, and performing martial arts is the duty of a general. , I can't refuse, I can only fight against that Qiu Tuanlian on horseback, Qiu Tuanlian told me to shoot arrows at each other, I will shoot him first, he will hide, if he dodges, then shoot me in turn." Shi Qianren He said with pain: "I shot his arrow, and he hid easily. When it was his turn to shoot me, I couldn't dodge. The arrow hit my arm and I fell off the horse. Fortunately, Wen Rui came over to stop the horse for me, otherwise It must have been trampled to pieces."

The more Gao Ming listened, the more angry he became, but it's useless to get angry now, try to control his emotions, "You take my letter and go back to Tokyo first, and be a concubine in the Taiwei's mansion to assist my father in collecting information."

Shi Qian half sat up, "Yanei, I won't leave!"

"You have to go, you lost the contest, I have already told them that you will be dismissed from the military, so it is not appropriate for you to stay in Mengzhou. Go back to Tokyo, where people are complicated and need you even more."

Shi Qian shook his head, "But leaving you alone in Mengzhou, how can you deal with this group of reckless people?!"

"You have to go. You are my confidant. If you lose the contest and leave, this will become a rule in the future."

Seeing Gao Ming's firm attitude, Shi Qian could only agree, and said sadly, "My lord, these people are planning to fight you to the end, and they won't let it go."

"Then fight to the end, whoever surrenders first will be the grandson!" Gao Ming said with a smile.

I can't cure you of these old bastards.

When Shi Qian saw this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I know that you will be able to deal with them, there is nothing you can't do."

From Tokyo to Gaotang Prefecture to today's Mengzhou, when did Ya Nei lose?

His worries were superfluous.

After a few days of rest, Shi Qian's wound healed a little, and he was pulled by a carriage back to Tokyo.

Everyone in the army saw his departure and was overjoyed.

The struggle with the prefect has achieved an initial victory.

-

On this day, Gao Ming called Nie Liang and handed him a written letter, "This letter is sent to Qingfeng Village in Qingzhou, and you have to hand it over to Zhizhai Huarong. Bring a few more people. Do it well."

Nie Liang took the letter and put it away properly, "Let's leave immediately, my lord, don't worry, it will be delivered safely."

When Nie Liang left, Gao Ming supported the table with both hands and looked out the window.

Huarong, hurry up and help me!

-

One day, Gao Ming was reading files in the back hall, when he heard a servant come running in, he said excitedly: "My lord, Nie Dutou is back, and he brought a young general with him."

When Gao Ming heard this, he hurriedly got up and walked out, while the servants brought him a robe from behind, "My lord, clothes, don't catch cold."

Gao Ming trotted out in three steps at a time. At the gate of the yamen, he saw Hua Rong dismounting from his horse.

The two haven't seen each other for half a year. When they parted last time, one was a Wu Jinshi who hadn't taken office yet, and the other was Gao Yanei, a dude in Tokyo. Now, one has become the Zhizhai of Qingfengzhai, even more heroic, and the other has become Mengzhou. The magistrate became more civilized.

Hua Rong laughed when he saw Gao Ming, and the joy of seeing a good friend dispelled all the troubles along the way.

He got off the horse, looked Gao Ming up and down, and said with a smile, "It's changed, I'm bookish."

"What kind of bookishness?" Gao Ming laughed and said, "It's about the same as the dossier's dossier. You open and close your eyes all day and you're just dossiers and dossiers. Don't talk about it, come in quickly."

After Nie Liang finished his errands, Gao Ming praised him, gave him a vacation, and asked him to go home and rest.

Gao Ming took Hua Rong to the backyard of the magistrate's yamen.

Hua Rong followed him to the backyard of the magistrate's yamen, and sat down in the living room.

Gao Ming asked someone to make hot tea for Huarong, and said in a petulant way: "I thought you couldn't come this time either. Last time I wrote to you to ask you to come, you even refused to come."

"You asked me to play, I can't get away." Hua Rong said: "There are a lot of mountains on my side, and there are house robbers on every hill, and they can't finish catching them. I really don't have time to come here."

"Then why did you come this time?" Gao Ming asked knowingly.

Hua Rong took out a letter from his sleeve and shook it, "Because a certain person said in the letter that he was in trouble and asked me to come and help him. What happened?"

In fact, there was only one sentence in the letter, Huarong, I am in trouble, come to Mengzhou quickly.

Good friends don't need so much pleasantries.

He asked Huarong to come and play, but Huarong was not free, but seeing that Gao Ming needed him, he immediately set off and came to Mengzhou.

Gao Ming took the letter, pressed it on the table with his hands, frowned, and said aggrievedly: "Let's put it this way, someone tripped me up here."

Upon hearing this, Hua Rong frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's not one, but a group of people." Gao Ming explained in detail the matters that he personally refused to accept.

After hearing this, Hua Rong immediately understood that this was definitely not an ordinary civil and military battle, but a battle involving the power of soldiers and horses in the entire Mengzhou. If Gao Ming can't handle them this time, it will be even more difficult in the future, "This group of people, If you don't tidy them up, you will be treated as nothing in the future! Since you called me, you must have already thought of a plan, just ask me what you want me to do."

Sure enough, he is a good brother, how refreshing, Gao Ming said emotionally: "Actually, it's not difficult, but I'm afraid you will be in danger."

"If I don't take the risk, then you are the one who is in danger. Tell me, don't worry about me."

Gao Ming hooked his hands at Hua Rong, and Hua Rong listened to him. After Gao Ming whispered the plan, he couldn't help smiling, and said confidently, "What's so difficult about this? Isn't this what I'm good at? Leave it to me." stop."

Gao Ming felt relieved, "I just saw you get off your horse at the gate of the yamen, and my heart is [-]% at ease."

"What about [-]%?"

"After listening to your promise just now, even the last [-]% of my worries are gone." Gao Ming looked into Hua Rong's eyes and said sincerely.

As the saying goes, "Brothers fighting tigers", although they are not brothers, their relationship is not bad at all. In this world, only Huarong can run from Qingzhou to Mengzhou overnight to help him.

Hua Rong also stared at Gao Ming, with smiles in his eyes, and promised again: "Since they are ganging up on you, they should have the consciousness to destroy them together, and I will send them a ride."

Gao Ming nodded his head heavily. Now that Huarong is here, he is full of confidence.
