Peng Zeliang was indignant, and his eyes were turned away from Su Chen, otherwise if he continued to star, he really couldn't control the urge to continue to beat people, and even let him be arrested and imprisoned!

No father wants to see his daughter hurt herself for a man, suffering and scarring!

Even in ancient times, men were inferior to women, and married daughters spilled water, but some people of status still regarded their daughters as pearls in their palms and cherished them very much.

Peng Zeliang's wife died prematurely, and when Qin Jing was five years old, he had no mother, in order not to let his daughter be bullied, and in order to fulfill his promise to his deceased wife, he did not continue to be a wife, only accepted a concubine, but did not give any status. In the Peng Mansion, only Miss Jingqing is still the most expensive.

He himself has never beaten Qinqing with his own hands, he has grown so big, and it is the first time he has been injured like this, how can Peng Zeliang not be angry?

"Who did it?"

Su Chen replied: "Lord Hui Governor, it should be the five monsters of Jiangdong in the green forest, they were led by one person to Su Mansion to commit murder, there are six people, all of them came to the bottom, and it happened to be Qinqing her...... After last night's dinner, the sister Ling'er was too late in martial arts, so I stayed with her. When the Green Forest gangsters entered the Su Mansion and were discovered by Qinqing, they fought each other......."

My daughter who has not been out of the cabinet lives in Su Mansion again!

Peng Zeliang thought of this, he was ashamed and angry, and the maid also told herself that she went to live with Su Su at the Bai family, and the family owner was really underwhelmed!

From now on, Peng Zeliang plans to strictly guard his daughter's whereabouts, and resolutely cannot let her go home at night.

"Don't call Qin Qinfang's name, call Miss Peng, she doesn't know you that well!" Peng Zeliang covered his ears and stole the bell, correcting Su Chen's verbal mistake.

Su Chen was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to say more.

Bai Susu saw that Su Chen was wronged, and couldn't bear it, Ying Ying stepped forward and said: "Uncle Peng, the five monsters in Jiangdong have a lot of notoriety in the green forest, but they have not entered Runzhou City in the past two years, they only walk in the rivers and lakes, they have no grievances with Su Chen, this time they entered Su Mansion at night, in fact, they have other plans." ”

Peng Zeliang looked at Bai Susu with bright eyes, and had always admired her wit, seeing that she said this, she must have a reason to think of it, and asked: "What is the mystery in this?" ”

Bai Susu sighed: "It's not a secret, in fact, whether it is Qinqing or Su Chen, they are all affected by the Bai family; Recently, the Bai family and the Ding family completely tore their faces because of the matter of the emperor's tribute porcelain, and the Ding family even did not hesitate to buy the kiln mouth long-term worker, secretly learned the Bai family's white porcelain formula, and also sent someone to find the poison in my grandfather's living meal, which became a stroke disease, and is still paralyzed in bed. It's just that the Ding family didn't expect that the Bai family would use Su Chen's green and white porcelain and soap secret recipe to disrupt the Ding family's wishful thinking and threaten the status of the Ding family. Therefore, two days ago, the Ding family came to ask Su Chen if the secret recipe in his hand failed, so he rehired the five monsters of Jiangdong to plunder and coerce. ”

After Peng Zeliang heard this, his face became solemn, if it was only the five strange bandits in Jiangdong in the green forest, he could send Runzhou to hunt down the old nest of Yellow Crane Mountain, and all the prefectures and counties would be wanted. But when it comes to the Ding family, the first-class family of Jiangzuo, who has been entrenched in Runzhou for decades, has the support of a thorny history behind him, and even he, the prefect of Runzhou, is not able to move if he moves.

What's more, all this is speculation, if there is no evidence to deal with the Ding family, it can be completely beaten by the Ding family.

Thinking of facing Yin Tingshi's intervention again, Peng Zeliang was also in a dilemma.

In the first year of Emperor Suihe of the Han Dynasty, the assassin was renamed the state pastor, and the authority was further expanded, and the supervisor became the local military administrator.

In the five years of Emperor Ling's peace, he changed some senior assassins to pastors. In fact, the assassin was already the chief of the military and political affairs of a state and the superior of the Taishou, and the two-level system of prefectures and counties was formed. Wei and Jin stabbed the history of leading the soldiers and not leading the soldiers, leading the history of the stabbing in the four products, adding more generals, and those who are responsible for the heavy tasks are called the envoys and governors.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed the state to the county, and changed the history of the assassination to Taishou; In the Tang Dynasty, the county was changed to a state, and the Taishou was changed to the history of assassination. By the time of Xuanzong, Fuzhou was a county, and the history of the re-assassination was too shou; Suzong reverted to the old system in the early Tang Dynasty. In this way, the names of the assassin and the Taishou have been changed back and forth, but there has been no major change in power and position.

The Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty absorbed the old system of the Tang Dynasty, and not only set up the Assassin History in the state capital, but also launched the position of prefect, in fact, it was worried that the Assassin History was in charge of local civil affairs and military power, and supervised in one, and would become bigger like the feudal town festival envoy in the late Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the power of local state officials was restricted, and the functions of the Jiedu envoy were divided into the history of the assassin and the prefect, the main responsibility of the history of the assassin was to control the local regimental training and military, supervision of hundreds of officials, etc., and the prefect was mainly responsible for civil affairs, people's livelihood, taxation, and case judgment, which were related to the common people.

This is only the characteristic of the Southern Tang Dynasty to set up its own magistrates, while the Northern Song Dynasty has basically removed the titles of assassin history and jiedu envoy, and began to fully implement the new local official system such as prefect, prefect, general judgment, criminal officer, and local three envoys.

"Ding family! Yin Thorn Shi ......" Peng Zeliang muttered to himself, a look of embarrassment on his face.

Because of this incident, Peng Zeliang broke the balance of local officialdom, directly moved the Ding family, and called for Yin Assassin Shi to deal with the crime of the Ding family, the mastermind behind the scenes, but it seemed that the weight was not enough, and the timing was not right, so he couldn't help but fall into hesitation.

Although the status of the merchant is low, the power of the merchants in the Southern Tang Dynasty is very large, and they can even become officials, and the Jia people may also interfere in politics from time to time. For example, Hanlin waited for the edict to be followed, and the Jia people were born, who had traveled back and forth in the Minyue area, and were familiar with the local mountains and rivers, so they "took the policy of building a state for Cha Wenhui". (Recorded in the "General Guide to Governance")

Another historical example, recorded in the "Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Ma Family": during the Kaibao period, the Song division wanted to attack Jinling, and the Tunshui army was in Jiangling.

The economy of the Southern Tang Dynasty was declining, the treasury was empty, and the Li family wanted to sit firmly in the south of the Yangtze River, so they began to continuously elevate the status of the local merchant families and powerful squires in Jiangdong, so as to consolidate them, the royal and powerful groups in the north of the Yangtze River, and gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the status of the nine major families of Jiangzuo, as well as some big businessmen in Jinling, is extraordinary, but it is not something that the local officials can move when they say it, not to mention that the major families have bribed many officials of the imperial court, serving as protection money and party dispute funds, and their power is intertwined.

Peng Zeliang looked at Miss Bai and asked, "Susu, can you come up with conclusive evidence?" ”

Bai Susu pondered for a while and said: "The five monsters of Jiangdong were instigated to come to Su Mansion to commit murder, mainly for Su Chen and the secret recipe in his hand, tonight's operation failed, but before leaving, they plundered Ling'er, they should use this as a threat, waiting for Su Chen to exchange for Ling'er with the secret recipe." When the time comes, as long as you follow the vine and catch the five monsters in Jiangdong, you will be able to pry out the mastermind behind the scenes from the mouths of the five. ”

Peng Zeliang nodded slightly, but still had doubts: "If you catch the five monsters, they are hard-mouthed, keep secrets, and refuse to admit it?" ”

Bai Susu sneered faintly: "The prefect's interrogation has its own set of torture to extract confessions, in addition to being tortured and intimidated, my Bai family will come forward again, induce them with heavy money, and take out five times the price of the remuneration given to them by the Ding family, and induce them to defect, so soft and hard, I don't believe that these green forest bandits will not be tempted!" ”

"Makes sense!" Peng Zeliang heard Bai Susu's plan, both the prefect's yamen sang black faces, and the Bai family's wealth sang red faces, intimidation and temptation at the same time, this kind of green forest bandits with bad character and bad conduct, it is impossible to expect them to keep their mouths shut and stick to the bottom line, because they themselves are people who have no bottom line.

Peng Zeliang said: "I will order all classes to catch their heads and search for the whereabouts of the five monsters in Jiangnan throughout the city!" ”

Bai Susu shook his head and said: "Uncle Peng, in this way, it will startle the snake, and the bandits in the green forest will probably not be able to hide when they see that the prefect's yamen attaches so much importance to it; The Ding family also had a bad momentum, and they didn't dare to contact the five monsters anymore, and even let them kill people and cut off clues. Therefore, for the time being, we have to pretend that nothing happened, and Qin Jing was only slightly injured, and Su Fu only went through the official reporting procedure, which did not attract the attention of the prefect. The city gate is just a good look, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, let's pay attention to Su Mansion at any time, the five monsters see that the wind is not tight, they will definitely send someone to send a letter, forcing Su Chen to bring the secret recipe to meet each other, and when the time comes, it will be all in one go. ”

Su Chen's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Bai Susu from time to time, thinking that she knew how to scheming, and it would be better to offend her less in the future, otherwise she would be calculated, and she would be able to bear it by herself!

Peng Zeliang stroked his short beard, quietly listened to Bai Susu's analysis, was clearly organized, interlocked, and prioritized, and nodded in agreement that his strategy was feasible.

"Then do it according to Su Su's method, keep things to a minimum tonight, and the prefect will let the catchers keep their mouths shut and not leak the news." Peng Zeliang decided to implement Bai Susu's strategy, in addition to being able to take the bandits and avenge his daughter; It is in his interest to temporarily suppress the turmoil of this matter and prevent his daughter's reputation of staying overnight in Su Mansion from being damaged.

As for dealing with the mastermind behind the scenes, the Ding family, Peng Zeliang felt that just by virtue of his identity as the prefect, he could not move for the time being, and he needed to cooperate with the Bai family to grasp a few more pieces of evidence of the Ding family's crimes, so that Yin Tingshi would be speechless. It is best to transfer Yin Tingshi to leave Runzhou and go to other places to take up his post, then it will be much easier to move the Ding family.
