Chapter 259: Kaiyuan County Case 13
In the distance, there were still Mankun's men waiting, but when faced with three thousand men, they were immediately controlled.
Didn't make a little wave.
Song Qingdao: "Lord Ji, take a look, this place is a coal mine, these people dig coal privately, they still sell it at a high price, and they don't take human life seriously, and they only have an income of a dozen copper plates a month of hard work."
Ji Da got off the horse in a big rage, and today he wants to break these people into thousands of pieces.
As they continued to walk forward, many of Man Kun's men had been arrested, and they were very honest, until they came to the side of the coal outside the mine, and a hundred of them had already been arrested.
These prisoners who kept transporting coal, they recognized Song Qing and Lord Ji, and hurriedly came to kneel, and the people from the court came, and finally had hope of life.
More prisoners came out of it, and the crowd cried loudly, this place was not for people, and they would rather go home and eat dirt than stay here.
Someone cried: "My lord, you can count it as coming, this magistrate of Kaiyuan County, they are not people, they are simply animals, treating people as livestock, no, it is not as good as livestock."
"I've been in this coal mine for so long, and I don't talk about working all day, but I still can't eat enough every day, and if it's a little slow, it's a stick to serve, and even many people have been beaten to death here."
Lord Ji became more and more angry when he heard this, and he shouted loudly, "Can the magistrate be here?" Take them down.
When he heard this, the steward came out of a room and immediately shouted, "What are the ghosts roaring in the early morning?" Don't work yet, believe it or not, you don't have food at noon today...
Before he could finish speaking, his voice stopped suddenly, and then his body froze here like a wax figure.
Some officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward to control it, and a large group of people and horses rushed over nearby, all of whom were people who controlled Shi Zhang Kailiang.
On Song Qing's side, Lord Ji doesn't want to kill, these are all people from the imperial court, and it can be said that they have little to do with this case.
He shouted: "Bold, this official is a second-class official of the dynasty, if you dare to resist, you will be killed immediately."
They were stunned, and when they saw so many people, they didn't dare to resist at the moment, and they all laid down their weapons and surrendered.
Song Qing came to the steward's side and said, "How is it, do you remember Song?" Remember the bet we made? We'll see you today!"
The latter was frightened, and his legs fell to his knees and said, "You..... Haven't you already fled? Why.... Why are you still here at this moment? Whereas.... And with so many people?"
Tang Yueyue shouted, "Shut up Dog Officer, you have a good look, this is our criminal officer Lord Song, if you meet him, you are unlucky." ”
He was scared out of his urine, although he had doubts but no evidence, until the moment the truth was revealed, he was finally scared.
Song Qingdao: "What's wrong?" Don't you believe it? But it's okay, it's useless whether you believe it or not, you're not destined to live today.
Snatching a big knife from the hands of the officers and soldiers, Song Qing walked over slowly, he had never killed anyone, and today was considered to be a broken ring.
The big knife fell hard, and the steward's neck was about to fall off, and he screamed, he had been hit hard, and he was already dead.
The prisoners cheered, and the death of this person made them extremely excited, and they had confidence in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty.
When they heard this noise, the four people who were still sleeping in the house immediately woke up from the bed, and the four of them walked out of the house one by one, and when they suddenly saw thousands of people outside the house, they fell to the ground at once.
Man Kun was afraid in his heart, what was going on? For.... For. How so? Which of the lords of the court is here?
He saw the corpse of the steward of the ground, and the blood was flowing all over the ground, and it was very miserable.
The other three adults were also afraid,..... This turned out to be Master Ji here, although they didn't have any contact, but they had also seen each other.
The three of them immediately knelt down and said, "Master Ji, I don't know...... I don't know why you came to this Kaiyuan county?"
"Yes, yes, Lord Ji, the lowly position, the lowly position is to arrest this corrupt official Mankun, this person is very rebellious, he is actually corrupt and perverts the law, come to the person, arrest this person.
The people who originally belonged to them didn't obey orders at all at this moment, when did this happen? It's hard to protect himself, who cares about him?
"This... You are really bold Zhao Guard, hurry up and arrest this person for me. ”
A soldier stepped out of the crowd.
"Zhang Kailiang, you'd better be honest, you can't see what the situation is at the moment? You guys don't live long enough, so I still have to listen to you?"
The latter was furious, but he also knew the situation at the moment and didn't dare to be too presumptuous. The ground is full of Kun, and his eyes are almost waiting to come out, with a fierce light.
"I said three adults, you can't wait to die without help, this... This coal mine is actually...
"Shut up." Cao Jian roared and waved a big knife from the side, "Man Kun, you are so bold, in order to find evidence of your corruption and perversion of the law, I and the other three adults deliberately walked with you at this moment, could it be that you really treat us as people all the way?"
"That's it, Mankun, you have to figure it out, the three of us and you are not all the way, today your incriminating evidence has been conclusive, and the official is going to execute you."
As soon as the words fell, the three of them swung their knives at the same time and slashed at Man Kun, who was directly hacked to death with a random knife and many wounds on his body.
Even Song Qing and Master Ji didn't have time to stop it, and the matter had been completely resolved.
But both of them know that the three people in front of them are not good stubble, and they are all the way with this Mankun.
Cao Jian immediately knelt down and said: "My lord, this person is corrupt and perverts the law, does not take the lives of the people seriously, and takes your position for you, and also deals with it for the emperor."
Master Ji said three good words in a row, and then looked at Song Qing.
"Nephew Song Xian, in that case, what do you want to hear? Do you think they are clean officials?"
Song Qing shook his head fiercely and said, "Qing official? It's nothing more than killing the accomplices, and then destroying the corpses and destroying the traces, Master Ji, there is no doubt that these three people are accomplices, Song feels that we can directly escort them to the Xuande Palace, and then let Song Duzong try the case, and at the same time can also shock the officialdom. ”
Ji Dadao: "Yes, let's do this, nephew Song Xian, thank you this time, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid this case would never have been known, and the three people in front of me deserved to be killed."
The three people led by Cao Jian couldn't stand it anymore, and they all knelt on the ground at once, with a very sincere attitude.
"Lord Ji, and this Lord Song, the three of them were really wronged, my lord, you misunderstood."
"Besides, how can we be complicit with this thing? This can't be said, at the same time, ah, I'm also depressed to the extreme, two adults, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense. ”
"If this goes to the Xuande Palace, I can't tell even if I have ten mouths, my lord, you don't come nonsense."
Song Qing looked at them coldly, "Three adults, you still don't have to argue nonsense, I won't wait for this matter, since you have been wronged, what are you afraid of?" You say don't you?"
Song Qing looked at these prisoners again: "Everyone, Song is the criminal officer of the Great Song Dynasty, and Song Ci before is my father, and today Song is here to announce that you are all free."
There were cheers and cheers, and they were very happy, and it was everyone's long-cherished wish to be free again.
Some people rushed into the house and started to destroy it, some people simply set fire to the house, and some people directly threw the body of the steward and Man Kun into the fire, and they deserved it today.
The three Cao Jian were controlled, even if their subordinates were confiscated together. Master Ji arranged for five hundred people to wait here, and then finally went to Lin'an with Song Qing and the others.
"Song Xian's nephew, this official thinks that this matter may not be simple, believe it or not, these three people entered the Xuande Palace, and it was definitely impossible to escape death, and there were even people to protect them."
"You must know that this officialdom is so corrupt, so corrupt that every official is an official who protects each other, if there is no covering, they can develop so quickly?"
Song Qing didn't know how to answer this, but he believed in Song Duzong and believed that the other party would not be so bold, and letting go of these three people was undoubtedly to let the tiger return to the mountain, and at the same time, he told everyone vaguely that you can be corrupt at will.
"Master Ji, Song thinks what you said is very reasonable, but let's not punish them, first, Song does not have the right to cut first and then play, and second, this is an official position above the prefect, and there is also a history of straightening down the history and pacifying history, we don't have this right."
Master Ji naturally knows this, so he can make this decision at this moment, which is also forced to be helpless.
The three of Cao Jian are facing at the moment. There was a little bit of joy on them, and they felt as if they couldn't die.
The three of them whispered, "Two adults, as long as we enter this Hall of Elective Virtue, I am afraid that we will become innocent if we are guilty, and with the money we have given us over the years, this case must be whitewashed."
"Hehe, just with this Song Duzong, can't he be led by the nose by these adults? Let him go east and go east, and tell him to go west and go west, what do I have to worry about?'
When the other two heard this, they felt that this was reasonable, they were not afraid now, they were not afraid at all, as long as they fooled this Song Duzong in the past, not only would they not be guilty, but they would even be promoted.
"Lord Cao, Lord Yuan, I was really a false alarm just now, hehe, just rely on this Lord Ji and a criminal officer? They also underestimate the people I am waiting for in the imperial court, don't look at their enthusiasm at the moment, do you believe that soon after arriving at the Xuande Palace, this matter will be a different situation?"
"Yes, this official knelt on the ground and begged for mercy just now, it's really a shame, a great shame. The face is all lost, but fortunately no outsiders know about it, hehe!"
