Chapter 258: Kaiyuan County Case 12
I'm sorry to mention the criminal officer, the director drank too much last night, and he is still lying in bed and sleeping, or how many days will you wait beforehand?"
"How many days?" Song Qing's eyes widened, wait a few days, maybe the daylily will be cold, don't you say?
The case is no longer allowed to be delayed, and he knows that the situation is very urgent now, and it is no longer allowed to be delayed, and perhaps something unexpected will happen. So, everyone finally walked forward, intending to go to Lord Ji for help.
The official shouted, "Lord Song Tixing, don't worry, come back quickly, won't you wait a few days?"
Song Qing and the others walked forward lonely, they asked for directions as they walked, and then finally came to the gate of Ji's mansion, and their hearts were even more excited.
When there was a knock on the door, the door was finally opened, and an old butler poked his head out and opened his mouth.
"This little friend's name.... No, no, this adult, I don't know if you are?"
Song Qingdao: "Butler, are you Lord Ji here?" If you can pass the word, just say that Song Qing has something urgent to ask, and I don't know if I can tell it. ”
The housekeeper said: "My lord, it's really not the right time for you to come, our lord hasn't come back from the early dynasty, or... Why don't you go up for a while?"
Song Qing was puzzled, "Can the early dynasty use this?" Wasn't it over early in the morning?"
The housekeeper sighed, "My lord, that was before, and now this Emperor Song Duzong has left all the adults to play with crickets every time he has been in the last dynasty, and our lord is also forced to be helpless." ”
Song Qing's head is already empty, why is that? Why back like this? Is this a coincidence, or has it been artificially controlled?
He didn't know, but his heart was completely angry, and the Great Song Dynasty was over, and it was already incorrigible.
Song Qing and the others dragged their tired bodies forward, he didn't know what to do? But he knew that this matter could not be counted like this, otherwise it would be a different outcome.
The butler shouted from behind, "My lord, why are you leaving? Why don't you just wait in the house?"
Song Qing ignored it and continued to walk forward, he didn't know what to do? Master Ji is not here, and he has no one to trust.
Song Qing immediately led people to the palace, and the only hope now was to find this Song Duzong, otherwise things would not turn around.
At this moment, in the back garden of the palace, Song Duzong and the civil and military officials once again caught crickets in the lawn, and they were very satisfied.
Including all the adults in the court, as well as Lord Ji, he was helpless to participate in it, he didn't dare to leave if he wanted to, and he was very aggrieved.
The ministers were overjoyed, and from time to time they said flattering words, almost making Song Duzong happy to death.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, the emperor's level of fighting crickets is higher, it's really surprising, your majesty, in the entire court, we are not opponents at all."
"Yes, yes, the emperor is powerful, it can be said that he is a master of playing crickets, don't say that I am waiting, even in the entire Great Song Dynasty, there are few people who can compare with the emperor.
Song Duzong accepted all these compliments, and today he has won several hundred taels of silver, and he is very happy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you sorry that I won your money? But don't get in the way, I have decided to double the size of each person from this month, can you be satisfied?"
"Thank you, Emperor. Above. They fell on their knees and bowed.
"Well, I don't think it's too early today, I'll wait until today, okay Aiqing, you can leave."
The ministers retired one after another, and after a day of fighting, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted. They dragged their lonely bodies out, and soon appeared outside the palace, Song Qing saw it, his eyes kept sweeping over everyone, and soon he saw Lord Ji. Immediately after that, he strode forward.
"Master Ji, you can be regarded as coming out of it, Song is really anxious to wait, if there is no urgent matter to find Lord Ji, Song will not rush into Beijing."
Master Ji was also stunned, but he also opened his mouth.
"Nephew Song Xian, it's dark at this moment, how can you wait here? Why don't you go into the palace to face the saint?"
Song Qingdao: "When Song came, it was already past the time of the previous dynasty, and the guards naturally wouldn't let me in, and at the same time, Song wouldn't expect you to come out until after nightfall."
Saying that, he just sighed, Song Duzong is like this, not to mention the people of the Great Song Dynasty, this country can be strange for a long time.
"Lord Ji, Song Mou came here today as a last resort, no, the magistrate of Kaiyuan County colluded with several other local adults to loot the people's fat and ointment among the people." As he spoke, Song Qing told the matter in detail, and when Lord Ji heard it, he was furious.
"They are really bold, they just don't take the Great Song Law Order in their eyes, it's really infuriating, don't worry, don't worry, the official will immediately take someone forward.
They returned the same way, and then went to the military headquarters to mobilize 3,000 men and horses, and finally rushed to Kaiyuan County overnight.
At this moment, in the mine, because night fell, the prisoners had already finished their work, and the officials went out to hunt for a whole day without any news, and they were very helpless at the moment.
Man Kun is here, Cao Jian of Zhizhou, Yuan Zhengxi, and Zhang Kailiang, the prefect of Zhizhi, are all here, and they are discussing the escape of someone.
Man Kun said: "Three adults, the officials went out to search for a whole day, and they suspect that this person has either completely escaped, or has completely left, in the eyes of the three adults, what should I do?"
Cao Jian weighed for a while, but he also opened his mouth.
"Manzhi County, there are two other adults, I don't need to worry about this matter, this official feels that there should be nothing wrong with this matter.
"I don't believe it, wait and see, this place is very, very close to Lin'an, if it is really the criminal officer Song Qing, it is estimated that he has already brought people here, how can he wait until this time?"
Zhang Kailiang also nodded and said: "Yes, as a criminal officer, he should have identified himself on the day he was arrested, so that he is worthy of him as a criminal officer?" Besides, I've never seen an adult willing to go into a cell. ”
Yuan Zhengxi also opened his mouth, "Yes, the analysis of the two adults is completely reasonable, this official thinks that this should be the case, this official is really very pleased, this person is not the best criminal officer." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, about Song Qing, at the moment, in their opinion, he was just an ordinary person, there was nothing to pay attention to, just leave. At the same time, it was raining heavily, and maybe these people had already fallen off the cliff and died.
The four of them sat down at the wine table and began to eat, and there were delicious foods and many fine wines on the table.
They ate meat and drank a lot of wine, and they didn't take the imperial decrees seriously, and the gap between them and the prisoners in the cells was very large.
"Manzhi County, on weekdays, this pit is taken care of by you alone, you have to be careful here, it is said that the mountains outside this wilderness can landslide at any time, so it is... Man Kun gulped down a piece of meat, then waved his hand and said: "The three adults don't have to worry about their humble duties at all, as for this nature, this is the will of heaven, no one can stop it, and there is a way to escape from humble duties."
"But what the lowly is worried about is this officialdom, after all, some big people can ask for the head of the lowly in a word, don't you say?"
"Regarding this issue, Manzhi County can put ten thousand hearts, and the affairs of officialdom will be handled by the three of us, but this coal mine, hehe, Manzhi County still has to continue to work hard, right?"
Cao Jian said: "Yes, how can I say that there are some acquaintances in Lin'an, hehe, do you really think that this official is mixed up in Lin'an?"
Man Kun put his mind at ease, and he was very happy at the moment.
"Three adults, with your words, you can rest assured, and we will work together in the future, this.... This silver, let's earn it together. ”
"Hehe, with the sentence of Manzhi County, I will be satisfied, come on, come on, don't get drunk today, I'll have a good drink, okay?"
Song Qing and Master Ji brought 3,000 people, and they hurried to Kaiyuan overnight, not daring to delay for half a minute.
At the same time, they are looking forward to catching them all. Finally, after walking all night, everyone in the house was physically and mentally exhausted, and the sleepiness was not light.
"When I go to Kaiyuan territory, when I walk for a while, I will go to the coal mine, I hope these people have not received any news, and then peach every day.
However, it is also hoped that there will not be too many people in the coal mines, so that the casualties will be very large.
They walked for a while, and at last they stopped to rest, and in a moment they should have caught each other all.
Ji Dadao: "Song Xian's nephew, if it weren't for this Song Duzong's insistence on leaving us to play with crickets, I'm afraid things wouldn't be what you think, hey, if these people escape, Song Duzong will not be able to escape his responsibility."
"It's sad, the emperor of my Great Song Dynasty is not as good as the next generation, and the emperor is not as good as the other, which is embarrassing and extremely chilling.
Song Qing also had this meaning, he already felt it, before the Song Ningzong period, the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was still different, but with the succession of Song Duzong, he found that it was even more corrupt at the moment.
He didn't know what was going on, could it be that all this was originally from Mongolia? Or is it related to this Jia Yidao?
He didn't know that the anger in his heart had never been so great, and he had never been so disappointed in the corruption of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Lord Ji, let's not mention it far away, let's mention these years, let's take a look, these emperors are not only mediocre and incompetent, but also bring ministers to fight crickets in the palace, which is sad." "The emperor of a country. If this is the case all day long, it is no different from a street gangster, so what hope is there for this country? Especially these people in the barracks are the shields of the Great Song Dynasty, if their shields can't resist the spears of Mongolia, then the country will be broken sooner or later. ”
The two sighed, their faces were bitter, and there were a lot of bad pictures flashing in their minds.
After resting here for a long time, they began to hurry, and finally came to the outside of the mine an hour later.
