Jinjiang County, Songquan Prefecture

After Li Sanjian talked with Liu Yanlu, he returned to the birthday banquet of Wu Xiyu, the magistrate of Jinjiang County, as if nothing happened, and listened to the play, ate and drank until late at night.

After the time has passed, the drama is not sung anymore, and the servants go to rest happily after receiving the reward, and continue to sing the drama on the second day, and generally this kind of birthday banquet will be sung for three days in a row.

There are very few guests who have come to congratulate the birthday, most of them have gone back to rest, at this time, almost Li Sanjian and more than 100 of his entourage are still eating and drinking on the birthday banquet, I really don't know how their stomachs are long, they have been eating and drinking for most of the day, and they are still endless.

In addition, it is Wu Xiyu, his family, and domestic servants to accompany him.

At this moment, Wu Xiyu already felt bad, and he had already sensed that Li Sanjian and the others had a plan.

Generally speaking, people of Li Sanjian's status, participating in the banquet are all superficial, to the point to the end, after the gift, is to drink a few glasses of wine, at most listen to a play will say goodbye and leave, where is like the current situation, relying on the birthday banquet, the play is listened to one play after another, until the troupe leaves, still eating and drinking, all like starving ghosts reincarnated.

At the same time, Wu Xiyu also noticed that although Li Sanjian and others had been eating and drinking, they had been deliberately controlling their drinking, so no one was drunk.

However, although Wu Xiyu noticed this, he was helpless.

People came to congratulate them on their birthdays and didn't take the initiative to say goodbye, so the owner wouldn't drive people away, right?

As a last resort, who would dare to rashly give an expulsion order to the dignity of a state?

But Wu Xiyu was tired, anxious and anxious, so Wu Xiyu couldn't help it, stood up, walked in front of Li Sanjian and said again and again: "Li Zhizhou, it's getting late, look at this... ”

Wu Xiyu had to give Li Sanjian an eviction order, how could he survive Li Sanjian and other young and strong people who were over half a hundred years old?

There is also a beautiful concubine in Xinna waiting to celebrate her birthday in the room, it seems that there is no hope today, Wu Xiyu said secretly in his heart.

"Oh? Wu Zhixian is so anxious? After Li Sanjian smiled when he heard this, he turned his head and asked Xiang Shankui, Xu Biao and others, "What time is it?" ”

"If you go back to the mansion to respect the prime minister, there is still a moment before the son." One of the attendants replied.

"Wu Zhixian, it's almost time for you to look at the child, and the new day is almost here." Li Sanjian then said to Wu Xiyu: "Wu Zhixian is not waiting? ”

"What am I waiting for?" Wu Xiyu replied in amazement: "Li Zhizhou has something to say, so why bother to detour? ”

"Hehe, this official would like to ask you what Wu Zhixian has to say?" Li Sanjian sneered.

"What Li Zhizhou wants to do, listen to him, the old man has nothing to say." Wu Xiyu also sneered.

"In that case, the official won't be able to wait for the son." Li Sanjian said, turned his head to Shankui, Xu Biao and the others and said, "Sons, have you eaten enough?" ”

"I'm full, I'm full!"

"Hahahaha, what do you command?"

More than 100 soldiers such as Shan Kui and Xu Biao responded with a bang.

"Don't be idle when you're full, take people!" Li Sanjian waved his hand.

"Obey the orders of the Prime Minister!" More than 100 soldiers answered loudly together.

Then all the soldiers got up together, took out wooden flails, chains and other torture tools, and several soldiers walked towards Wu Xiyu with knives.

In the confusion, he also knocked over a few wooden tables, and the dishes and meals on the tables made a burst of thinning

There was a loud noise, and the soup and water fell all over the ground.

Things changed suddenly, and the people of the Wu Mansion were so frightened that they let out bursts of exclamations, and the screams of women and children were even louder inside and outside the Wu Mansion, a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

"Li Sanjian, what do you want?" Wu Xiyu, who was still wearing a longevity robe, asked Li Sanjian tremblingly.

Wu Xiyu didn't know whether he was frightened or angry, he trembled all over, and his previous calm appearance was gone.

"Are you asking the officer?" Li Sanjian walked up to Wu Xiyu with a sneer, and suddenly said loudly: "This official still wants to ask you what Wu Zhixian wants?" Wu Xiyu, can you be guilty? ”

"What is the old man's crime?" Wu Xiyu tried to calm down his emotions and asked calmly.

"Wu Xiyu, before the fifteenth, the official document of the state government was sent to your Jinjiang County, but you dared to disobey the order, missed a major event, more than 300 bad houses, more than 700 people were killed and injured in Nan'an County, and countless people were immersed in the people's houses, so what crime should you Wu Xiyu be guilty of? Wu Zhixian, do you need this official to remind you? Li Sanjian was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and directly said the harm caused by Wu Xiyu's disobedience, according to Song Law, Wu Xiyu's crime is a capital crime, and according to the law, he should be hanged, that is, a white silk sent him to the Western Heavens.

Li Sanjian was determined to take Wu Xiyu's head this time to comfort the more than 500 souls who were drowned in the flood.

"Hahahaha!" Wu Xiyu suddenly laughed loudly when he heard this, and his tears were about to come out: "Li Zhizhou, what does his Nan'an County embankment have to do with me in Jinjiang County?" How can this account be counted on the old man's head? Besides, the people of Nan'an County are the people, and the people of Jinjiang County are not the people? In my Jinjiang County, I dug a levee to discharge the flood, but it was the people of my Jinjiang County who died, who should this account be counted on? ”

"Nonsense!" Li Sanjian said angrily: "The place where the embankment is dug in Jinjiang County is sparsely populated, but it is just some fields, as far as this official knows, your ancestral property in Wuzhi County is also here, right?" As long as the surrounding people are informed in advance, and the government arranges for evacuation, where will people die? Even if it is a dead person, it is a very small number of people who die, compared with Nan'an County, the loss can be described as very small, and you Wu Zhixian is nothing more than unwilling to flood your own fields, so as to disobey the order. ”

In fact, Li Sanjian has already agreed on compensation measures, and if the fields in Jinjiang County are flooded by a big flood, the state government will also find a way to give a certain amount of compensation in the future or send someone to repair the fertile land in the future.

"Even if so, so what?" Wu Xiyu was still hard-mouthed at this time, looked at Li Sanjian and said loudly: "Is my Wu family's ancestral property falling from the world?" It was accumulated by the ancestors of my Wu family, should it be flooded? Li Zhizhou, the old man is willing to go to Fuzhou to distinguish one or two for this matter. ”

"Fart!" Li Sanjian was furious and burst into a foul mouth: "Is your Wu family's ancestral property really accumulated by your Wu ancestors?" It's just that you Wuzhi County bullied the villagers and snatched it by skill, and your Wuzhi County has been covering the sky with one hand in Jinjiang County for several years, and how many people have been harmed, don't you really know if you are an official? ”

Li Sanjian's previous conversation with Liu Yanlu, the county magistrate of Jinjiang County, has some understanding of these things.

However, everything has to talk about evidence, and to obtain evidence of Wu Xiyu's harm to the people, Li Sanjian has already ordered Liu Yanlu and others to collect it.

"Go to Fuzhou to distinguish? I'll tell you right now, it's too late. Li Sanjian then said to Wu Xiyu: "This official has obtained Shengyu, and he can deal with the matter of Quanzhou at the right time." ”

"You... Do you dare to overstep your authority? Although Wu Xiyu said this, he was taken aback by the word "Shengyu" in his heart.

It is said that Li Sanjian is the confidant and favorite minister of Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, if this is the case, Li Sanjian really has the holy decree in his hands, then Wu Xiyu is a big deal today.

"What time is it?" Li Sanjian ignored Wu Xiyu and asked Xiang Shankui, Xu Biao and others.

"Returning to the mansion to respect the prime minister, now it's past the time of the son." One of the attendants replied.

"Well, the time has come, come here, strip this thief's robe, change into a torture uniform, put on a torture instrument, and take it away for me!" Li Sanjian nodded when he heard this.

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.

Several state officials then rushed forward with torture tools, peeled off Wu Xiyu's robe, changed into a white torture uniform, and chained heavy wooden shackles to Wu Xiyu's shoulders.

At this time, everyone in the Wu Mansion looked at each other, not daring to make a move, nor daring to make a loud noise.

Not to mention the more than 100 soldiers led by Li Sanjian, let's just say that if the people of Wu Zhai dare to resist, it will be resisting arrest, and the consequence of resisting arrest will be that there will be no forgiveness for killing, and there will be a disaster of annihilation.

"Li Sanjian, the old man, I am an official of the imperial court, even if the old man commits a capital crime, but 'the punishment is not a doctor', 'not killing the doctor', it is the rule set by Emperor Taizu, do you dare to disobey the law of the ancestors?" Wu Xiyu shouted loudly while struggling desperately.

The law of Song Zuzong, "do not kill the scholar doctor", "do not punish the doctor", is said to have been established by the Song Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin.

It is said that at the beginning of the founding of the country, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, once ordered craftsmen in the secret room of the palace to make a stone tablet, called the oath tablet, and required every successor to the throne to visit the oath monument before ascending the throne, and follow the ancestral teachings in the oath monument.

Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, ordered people to engrave three holy words on the oath tablet, and it was not allowed to kill those who wrote and said things on the doctor, one also; All the descendants of the Chai clan shall not be punished for their crimes, even if they have the great crime of rebellion, they shall not be connected to the whole clan, they can only be given death in prison, and they shall not be killed in the city, and they shall not be killed; If the descendants have this oath, the sky will die, and the three will also.

However, no one knows the specific content of the oath except for the emperor, so no one knows whether it is true or false, but after Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, the emperors of the Song Dynasty followed these three ancestral precepts.

Therefore, at this time, Wu Xiyu committed a capital crime, so according to the usual practice, you can take people, but you must treat them with courtesy, and you must not use torture instruments. After that, he was interrogated according to the complaint. After the trial, the judgment of the judicial department is followed, and finally the state government yamen submits it to the road-level yamen, and after the road-level yamen reviews the judgment, the state government yamen executes the judgment. Among them, major cases still need to be submitted to the imperial court.

'Haha!' Can't punish the doctor', 'don't kill the doctor'? Li Sanjian also laughed when he heard this: "You Wu Xiyu don't even have fame, what kind of doctor are you?" It's just a small official, and when is this time? When it is a 'desert government', during the 'waste government', the government order is a military order, and if you disobey the military order, you can be immediately killed! It doesn't matter who you are. ”

"I... I... I... Wu Xiyu immediately collapsed to the ground when he heard this.

"Li Zhizhou, the old man has a question in his heart?" When Wu Xiyu was taken out, he suddenly turned his head and asked Li Sanjian.

"Speak!" Li Sanjian waved his hand.

"Li Zhizhou, why didn't you do it when you first came to the old man's house?" Wu Xiyu asked.

"Hey!" After Li Sanjian rang for a while, he sighed and said: "People are rare in their seventies, how many birthdays do they have at the age of fifty-two in their lives?" Li really can't bear to take you down in front of all the guests, and always has to wait for you to celebrate your fifty-second birthday, go down. ”
