Chapter 288: Taiping County Case XII
"It's the emperor." Master Shi ran out directly.
"The emperor is wise." The ministers knelt and bowed.
"Okay, all Aiqing, what other excerpts do you have to play?"
There was no one down there to speak, what they had to say had already been said.
Song Duzong said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I won't talk about it, come on, go and bring my crickets, today I want to have a good time with you Aiqing."
At the same time, in Taiping County at this moment, among the yamen, the people of Song and Qing also ate food, and then came to the lobby.
"Miss Yueyue, you directly take the female dependents to the house to inquire, and you send someone to protect the deputy general."
"Yes, my lord, at the same time, my lord, all our five hundred soldiers have appeared in the courtyard, and once there is any trouble, nothing can be hidden from us.
Song Qing nodded, and then ordered You Chuan to bring Lao Zhixian to the lobby.
Jiang Zhuo, the old magistrate, looked at everyone with embarrassment and then opened his mouth, "Song Qing, Song Xiaoyou, this official also knows about you, a very powerful young man, who has been cricket for a few months, has already made great contributions."
"But what the official wants to say is that I said Song Xiaoyou, be a man and leave a line to meet in the future, Song Xiaoyou doesn't take the retired magistrate seriously, and he hasn't thought about you decades later?"
"Song Xiaoyou, this official thinks that you are indeed a good official, a really good official, but Song Tixing, you have gone too far, do you know?"
"Overdone?" Song Qing thought to himself, you have to be ruthless enough to be a criminal officer, otherwise how can you suppress the officialdom?
"Jiang Laozhi County, since you said that Song was overdone, then I don't know if you can talk about it carefully? Hehe, why did Song go overboard? If Lao Zhixian didn't come up with an explanation, Song would be very disappointed. ”
Jiang Zhuo said: "Hehe, Song Tixing is deliberately pretending to be confused?" How are you doing, could it be that Song Tixing didn't count it in his heart? Let's put it this way, it is the officialdom of the Southern Song Dynasty, there are too many people like Jiang, and there are too few people like you in Song Tixing. ”
"I said Song Tixing, you are doing this, it can be said that you are enemies everywhere with the officialdom of the Southern Song Dynasty, you are doing this, it can be said that you have offended all the people in the officialdom, my Song Tixing, if something happens to you in the future, who else will speak for you?"
Song Qingdao: "Song only wants peace of mind when he does things, he doesn't ask what others think, he only cares about what the people think, and at the same time, Song also admits that he doesn't like to be an official and doesn't like these false polite words in the court, but Song also knows that if I don't become an official, the Great Song Dynasty will be even more corrupt in the world."
"There is also Jiang Laozhi County, Song admits that there is some truth in what you said, in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, sometimes you are too serious, and it is indeed easy to offend people, and even offend a group of people, because well, you are all the same kind of people."
"However, since Song has become this criminal officer, he has to think about the people, and he has to think about the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, I said Jiang Laozhi County, since you have been invited here, I think you also know the statement that the Autumn Queen is held accountable.
Jiang Zhuo smiled and said, "I know, what if I know?" When has it been, and you still need to tell me about this uselessness here? Song Ti Xing, the official is already in his sixties, and he has enough scenery in this life. ”
"Not to mention whether you want to condemn the official, even if you want to kill the official, why not? Besides, who doesn't die in this life?"
On the side, You Chuan shouted violently, "Bold Jiang Zhuo, don't you still admit your guilt at this moment?"
This remark is obviously very lacking in confidence, and even weak.
Jiang Zhuo said: "I said You Zhixian, you are majestic at the moment, you know the truth that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, hehe, you are not afraid that after you retreat, someone will also target you?"
You Chuan was scolded like this, he was originally bold, and now he didn't dare to speak back.
Song Qingdao: "Okay, Jiang Laozhi County is now, Song is not talking nonsense, you tell me directly, what else can you say at the moment?" As for this Jin family brother, how long do you plan to hide it?"
"Brother Jin? The official doesn't know, he doesn't know anything, and now it's the first time I've heard of it, I said Song Tixing, who are they?"
Song Qingdao: "Who are they, I believe that Jiang Lao Zhixian must know it in his heart, and at the same time, he is very clear, why, are you unwilling to tell him?"
"I'm sorry that the official really doesn't know anything, the official has been retired for several years, and it's not a secret, it was your father Song Ci who took it back then, and he still has some conscience and didn't cut the official.
"But, this Song Ci and Song were sentenced, why didn't he take down the two brothers of the Jin family? Otherwise, you Song Qing and Song will not arrest this official today, right?"
You Chuan continued to shout angrily, he already knew that since he had offended these people, he could only go one way to the end, and follow Song Qing to the death, if he made a wall grass, maybe both ends would suffer.
"Bold Jiang Zhuo, what else do you have to say at the moment? Since this official and Song Tixing dare to arrest you, it means that you have indeed violated the law, even if you don't have it now, but you also had it back then. ”
"Song Tixing, since this person is not honest, how about the lowly suggestion to use the large-scale service of the Great Song Dynasty?"
Song Qing shook his head, "This matter can't be, Jiang Zhuo is very old, if we force him to die, if this matter is known, I'm afraid you and me = people will not be able to escape their responsibility."
"I said Jiang Laozhi County, how long do you plan to hide it? Do you know that this Jin family brother has been noticed, they will definitely not escape death, you just continue to die and refuse to admit it, believe it or not, Song will be able to capture him soon?"
Jiang Zhuo said: "It's really a joke, Song Tixing, look at what you said, what does the Jin family have to do with me?" I don't know who they are, so what do you want them to do? Kill them?
"I said Song Tixing, even if you want to question, you have to ask the official what he knows, besides, the official has been retired for several years, why do you want to say that the official knows them?"
In Song Qing's expectation, Jiang Zhuo didn't admit it at all, and he was not in a hurry, even if the other party didn't mention a word about this matter, he had a way to break it one by one. "Jiang Laozhi County, Song has already given you a chance, are you sure you don't cherish it? Once Song Mouhui leaves the lobby, you will have the credit of the inspection tool, and you will not be recognized by me, you think about it yourself. ”
The latter looked completely fearless, and said arrogantly: "Song Tixing, you don't have to scare this official, about these two people, you don't get any clues from this official."
"Bump."
Jiang Zhuo's head slammed into the wall, and blood rushed out with an ordinary sound, staining a large area of red.
His body also slowly collapsed to the ground, very miserable.
His injuries were too severe, the bones of his forehead were clearly visible, and the flesh was turned out, which was very miserable.
Song Qing was shocked, he didn't expect Jiang Zhuo to commit suicide, and he was on fire at the moment.
You Chuan was also very shocked, but he didn't think much about it, whether he died, he wouldn't have so many worries in the future, didn't you say?
Jiang Zhuo said: "Song ..... Hongu~.. The official has already said it, don't you think about it..... Don't want to get any clues from this official's mouth, close.... About the Jin family, the official doesn't know a word. ”
After saying this, he lost his breath, and it was obvious that he was already dying.
Song Qing and the others were helpless, this matter was too sudden, and they couldn't stop it at all, and they were so lifeless at the moment, so they were embarrassed.
You Chuan said: "Song Tixing, as soon as this person dies, what should I do now?" You say, what should I do if the Jin brothers know about this matter?"
"What to do? What else can I do? I said You Zhixian, aren't you still scared at this moment? In my opinion, there is no other way than to arrest people by force.
You Chuan's mind was blank, and he ordered the official to take Jiang Zhuo's body away, and then followed out of the hall.
Outside the house, it happened that Tang Yueyue had already walked out with a few female dependents.
"My lord, I have already finished asking questions just now, and all of them have already spoken.
Song Qing asked, "What did they say?" Did you reveal any good news?
"My lord, according to the confessions of several female dependents, they claim that the Jin family brothers will go to the old magistrate's county mansion almost every week, and at the same time bring a large number of female dependents to have a fun in fish and water." A week? Why did they go to Jiang Zhuo's Mansion? Could it be that it is inconvenient in your own house? Song Qing couldn't figure out this question.
"Miss Yueyue, did they explain how many people the Jin family brothers would bring with them every time they went? With our troops, can we take them?"
"My lord, they carry dozens of people every time, not a lot, with our manpower, we can completely take them down, my lord, should we catch all these people?"
"And, supposedly, tonight, it's time for these people to show up again, my lord, we can't delay any longer."
Song Qing gritted his teeth and said: "The deputy general of the court arranged for the soldiers to have dinner early today, and then I will wait for the evening to enter Jiang Zhuo's mansion."
"Yes, my lord."
The day passed quickly, and it was not long before the sun had set, and in the yamen, under You Chuan's Zhang Luo, he finally got a lot of food.
Everyone hurriedly ate food, and at this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and Song Qing led You Chuan and five hundred soldiers to Jiang Zhuo's residence.
Since this person is dead, and his family does not know where to go, it is quiet inside, even the housekeeper and so on are not there.
There's something terrible about the silence here.
Everyone came to the courtyard, and after Song Qing laid out the layout, he explained a lot, and then said: "Deputy General Chao, immediately search out You Chuan's family property, and then we will confiscate it as military salary."
"Yes, my lord."
His speed was very fast, and he had already found several large boxes in a short time, and after opening the kiss point, it was more than 100,000 taels.
This number shocked everyone, even Song Qing, he never thought that this person would be so bold, even these big corrupt officials in the imperial court probably didn't have so much money.
