Chapter 106: Geng Integrity

When Luo Yuan shouted the sentence "The minister wants to impeach the patrol camp", he didn't think that his words would affect other people's lives.

Geng Dang would not know that he was imprisoned because of an impeachment sentence from an unknown imperial historian.

The Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also has the responsibility of maintaining the law and order of the Beijing Division. Therefore, the case of improper discipline in the patrol camp, Emperor Yanguang casually handed it over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for handling.

Early in the morning, the Imperial History of the City Patrol sat in the public house of Zhang Dusi of the patrol camp with a cold face.

Here's what he meant:

It's not been a day or two since your patrol camp corrupted discipline, and if it hadn't been for the news reaching Your Majesty's ears, we would not have known that you had earned so much silver behind our backs.

How to divide this silver in the future, you patrol the camp to come up with a final conclusion!

The name of the patrol battalion is Zhang Yongnian.

Zhang Yongnian was originally a guerrilla in Jizhen, and the comment given to him by the Ministry of War was that he knew a lot about military affairs, so he was promoted to the commander of the patrol battalion.

He's not a pedantic man.

Faced with the imperial history of the city patrol, he took out the prepared filial piety, and promised to have one every month in the future.

If it weren't for the fact that this case was ordered by His Majesty himself, the case would have been closed happily at this time.

But the matter has been heard by heaven and needs a scapegoat.

Zhang Yongnian proposed to take Yuan Qing, the chief manager in the camp, to carry this pot.

Unexpectedly, the city patrol Yushi shook his head. Dao is that he has done an investigation before he came, and Yuan Qing has a background.

……

In the end, this big case that reached the heavens was carried by Geng Dang, a recruit who had been in the camp for less than a month.

Because someone in the camp reported that Geng Dang had accepted bribes since joining the company, and also provided evidence.

The evidence was a receipt drawn by Geng Dang, which read, "I will receive one hundred and twenty taels of silver from Xiao Chai He today, and two pieces of money and goods." ”

In addition, Zhuang Xiaoyun, who had been in prison for only a few days, was also arrested by Geng Dang and released by him personally.

All the evidence points to Geng Dang is the rat that corrupted the discipline of the patrol camp, and now the Metropolitan Procuratorate patrols the city and the imperial history looks like a torch, investigates the case, and removes the rat.

Presumably, from now on, the wind is clean and the world is peaceful.

Of course, everyone knows in their hearts that things are not so simple, and the prisoners clearly mark prices, set up Tianzihao cells, shield the nobles in Beijing, privately distribute taxes and silver from shops, and rob people's property...... Who in this capital doesn't know all kinds of erosive actions in the patrol camp?

But what about this for hundreds of years?

If it is really to be traced, who is innocent in the patrol camp?

The patrol battalion has been checked, but has the soldiers and horses of the five cities been checked? The Shuntianfu Yamen and Taipingwei must also be inseparable.

For another example, if you want to dispose of a thousand total ...... today Yuan Qing's brother-in-law is Langzhong, a staff member of the Ministry of War, and this Langzhong is also the confidant of the Secretary of the Ministry of War, who is involved in the war situation in Liaodong; What about the other Qianzong Geng Shubai? Behind him stood Zhang Yongnian, and behind Zhang Yongnian stood the general soldier of Jizhen, and the general soldier of Jizhen was involved in the defense of Gyeonggi.

It's like a hair on a stinking gutter, it looks like it's just a hair, and if you want to pull it up, you have to pull out the rotting corpses in the whole gutter, and the viper sludge......

No one wants to touch this stinking gutter.

No one will say "Hey, let's clean up this ditch" because of Luo Yuan, a fool, and everyone will move this stinky ditch, once the stench is lifted, everyone will be smoked to death.

You just want to cut off the floating hair, and you just can't see it.

The Chu Dynasty is this stinky ditch, even Emperor Yanguang didn't dare to stir it, how can you talk about a royal history of patrolling the city?

Only when there is calm, you can't smell the stench.

Geng Dang didn't understand this. But anyway, not long after today's order, he was dismissed and imprisoned.

Until Qin Xuance ransomed him in the evening, Geng Dang sat in prison for a total of four hours.

Out of the patrol camp, Qin Xuance said: "You saved my life yesterday, and I returned half of you today." ”

Geng Dang asked blankly, "Do you know why I was imprisoned?" ”

"Because of the patrol camp discipline case, you have always collected money and released people, and treated the prison as a business, which is too shameful."

Geng Dang was shocked: "Then you can still redeem me?!" ”

Qin Xuance said: "Otherwise? ”

"Aren't our patrol camps now in order? Now that the city patrol has not left, how can you collect cash?! And let me out......"

Qin Xuance looked at Geng Dang with idiot-like eyes and said, "No wonder you have to carry this pot, stupid fork!" ”

Do you think there is still a dynasty in this world?

After being scolded, Geng Dang was a little depressed, and said: "Uncle I told me, this time I let the person surnamed Yuan take the handle." If it weren't for Zhang Dusi's support, even our Geng Qian would have been dismissed, and then the whole village would have to fall. It's because I'm stupid and not wronged. ”

Qin Xuance said casually: "What do you want to do with these things?" ”

He glanced back at the schoolyard of the patrol camp.

It was dusk, and there was no one on the school grounds, only two skinny horses swaying around looking for grass to eat.

Qin Xuance lowered his head, and suddenly felt a little indignant in his heart.

If he was not a descendant of the Qin family, what would he be like if he lived in this world?

Is it that he was killed on the street, and the murderer can get out of prison with dignity for twenty taels?

Heh, where can a human life be worth twenty taels now?

If this is still the case at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what about other places?

"I took a bribe of two taels of silver." Geng Dang said suddenly.

Qin Xuance said disdainfully: "Only received two taels? You're too cowardly. ”

"I didn't want to take it, but they said that if they didn't take it, it would affect the village." Geng Dang said: "You know what? If I hadn't done this today, I might be like them, being a cashier now, and I guess I'll be an official who is afraid of death in the future. ”

Qin Xuance said: "This world is full of soldiers who are afraid of death, and you are not missing." ”

Geng Dang said: "But my father is not afraid of death!" Uncle I said that Jiannu entered the customs that year, and everyone turned around and ran, but my father was stunned and didn't run. ”

"And where is your dad now?"

"Dead."

Qin Xuance rolled his eyes.

Geng Dang said again: "I am in prison today, do you know what is the most uncomfortable in my heart?" ”

"I don't know."

"I regret that I took those two pieces of silver. If I confiscate it, I can confidently say that I am wronged! My mother said that to be a man, you must walk right and stand upright. In this world, there is retribution for one thing. ”

Qin Xuance sighed and said, "That's those people who lied to you. ”

Geng Dang asked, "Who are they?" ”

Qin Xuance thought for a moment and said, "Those nobles, high-ranking officials, and scholars...... They tell you to be honest, but they themselves are not honest. Do you understand? Retribution or something, it's used to deceive a fool like you. ”

"I am the retribution of faith."

After a while, Geng Dang said again: "Do you know that my father named me?" ”

"Because you're an idiot?"

"It's not. He wants me to dare to be a dare to be a dare to be a good person, and to be a good person. ”

Qin Xuance pursed his lips, raised his hand, and said casually: "Let's go to the front to buy duck fat shortbread to eat." ”

Geng Dang said: "Don't look down on me, what I said is true." ”

Qin Xuance said: "I'm not looking down on you. But what do you want? In the future, you still don't learn to be smarter, and you still carry the black pot to others? ”

Geng Dang said quite firmly: "Anyway, I want to be an upright person." ”

Qin Xuance glanced at Geng Dang twice, and was a little speechless.

When he saw that Geng Dang was standing there and didn't leave, he scolded "stupid fork" again.

After another while, Qin Xuance finally grinned and said, "Then you remember what you said today." ”

Geng Dang nodded vigorously.

"I really regretted accepting those two taels of silver."

"Anyway, you're not an official anymore, and you won't have a chance to collect cash in the future."

"By the way, where did you get the money to redeem me?"

Qin Xuance suddenly smiled and said softly, "I borrowed it from Mingxin." ”

Geng Dang was a little confused: "Who is Mingxin?" ”

"Hey, don't tease me."

"Why am I teasing you?"

Qin Xuance didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and said: "The stall of duck fat shortbread is not far in front, let me tell you, the stall owner's daughter is very good-looking, and she is a little similar to Mingxin......

When the two walked through the lively long street, they didn't see the shortbread stall.

Qin Xuance scratched his head, a little annoyed.

Geng Dang said: "Do you want to eat shortbread so much?" ”

"Alas, you don't understand, she's really a bit like Mingxin."

Qin Xuance was unwilling, and as he spoke, he ran to the noodle restaurant behind the stall to ask why the shortbread stall was not out today.

The owner of the noodle restaurant was a little secretive, but Qin Xuance grinded two sentences before he sighed, saying that the stall owner's daughter was robbed by a son-in-law one night last night, and their whole family went looking for it all night, and they haven't come back until now......

Qin Xuance asked which family's son-in-law he was.

The owner of the noodle restaurant naturally didn't know.

Qin Xuance felt a little angry in his heart......
