Walking awkwardly ahead, several officials suddenly rushed to Song Qing and knelt down, and then said, "Lord Song, how about a few of us who want to follow you forever?" Don't worry, although we were the ones who appeased Shi Yuan Zhengxi before, we are no longer willing to follow him. Song Qing looked at them, "Deputy General Chao, if you follow me, your life will be in danger in the future, are you sure you have this request?"

More than a dozen people snorted, they had already decided.

"My lord, we have already seen that the Great Song Dynasty is already in danger, and we can't sit still, if.... If this case really involves everyone in the court, we are willing to assist the adults and bring them to justice together. ”

Song Qing nodded, but he was a little relieved at the moment, took them in, and then continued to go to Kaiyuan County.

They had been walking for more than a day, and at this moment they finally came to the outside of the mine, where the prisoners were still there, and had no intention of leaving.

With the appearance of Song Qing and others, many people rushed over in a swarm, and they knelt down to express their gratitude, with tears on their faces.

There are also people who almost faint with joy, they have been working in the coal mine for a long time, and after regaining their freedom in the past two days, they feel as if they have been reborn.

Song Qingdao: "Folks, you all leave, Song will tell you now, all kinds of regulations and taxes in the entire Kaiyuan County have been canceled, and you can walk on the streets casually in the future."

They cheered, they rejoiced, they were happier than the New Year, and it was infinitely exciting.

"Lord Song, this Kaiyuan County is all because of you, if it weren't for you, we might have to die here, you are simply our savior."

"Yes, yes, my lord, it's all thanks to you, we are so grateful to you, you are simply our food and clothing parents."

Song Qing smiled with relief, then sent a few people away, and then ordered the deputy general to start a search in the room next to him, find a total of more than 3,000 taels of silver, and then fill all of them.

At this moment, more than 500 people given by Master Ji are still there, and Song Qing also has the intention of letting them leave.

But they didn't want to leave, and then someone said: "Lord Song, the last time you and Lord Ji left, Lord Ji had already explained behind his back, let us follow Lord Song." Song Qing couldn't believe it, follow himself? That's 500 people, how can you feed them? Besides, he didn't have so much money, and he was a little silent at the moment.

Tang Yueyue said: "My lord, maybe Lord Ji is worried that you will still be in danger in the future, so this is deliberately arranged like this!, I think you can't live up to his kindness."

Song Qing's face was bitter, "I said Yueyue girl, there are more than five hundred people, and a month is the expenditure of thousands of taels of silver, how can you let Song support them?" Mo.... Could it be that Song is hungry?"

These officers and soldiers are all in a dilemma, they really want to follow Song Qing, and at the same time, they also hope to leave some great achievements to the Great Song Dynasty.

Tang Yueyue continued: "My lord, don't worry, first, we can seize the dirty silver of corrupt officials, and second, we can rob the anti-thieves and take the silver for ourselves, and besides, these are all illegal gains."

"At the same time, these silver lords are all used to support their hands, and they don't have their own possession, I'm afraid that even Song Duzong won't say anything if he knows about it, right? Besides, he seems to turn a blind eye to corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”

Song Qing was silent at this moment, although this attention is good, it is a little inauthentic, for fear of being left behind.

After thinking about it, he still agreed, after all, he was no longer willing to bear this scene about the prison.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, Song will accept you, but Song has one more request at the moment, that is, I hope you can blow up this coal mine for me." They rushed over in response, and Song Ci looked at the deputy general again.

"Adjutant General Chao, let's confiscate the three thousand taels of silver directly and then.... Then when he returned to the Yamen, he continued to investigate the proceeds of Kun's embezzlement, and then confiscated them all, but we couldn't touch the silver that belonged to the imperial court. ”

"Yes, my lord."

After a while, the coal mine finally collapsed and was covered with a thick layer of soil, as for whether anyone would continue to come to mine, Song Qing couldn't control it.

So they walked on the way to Yamenmen, and when they arrived at the destination, Shushi was scolding his subordinates, and he didn't know that Man Kun was dead, and with the appearance of Song Qing and others, he was startled.

Then he began to shout angrily, "Hey, you are really bold, do you know what the crime of trespassing on the yamen is to be?"

Song Qing didn't speak, and ordered Tang Yueyue to call the soldiers in, and the next moment Shushi's face changed, and he knelt on the ground suddenly, and began to be timid.

"Big ..... Person. This adult, the county magistrate, he has something to go out, can you. Yes.. Can you wait until he comes back?"

Song Qing waved his hand and said: "You don't need to write history, it's not to hide it, but to mention the criminal officer Song Qing, as for your magistrate, in fact, he is dead, can you believe it?"

"Ahh Infinite fear appeared on his face, he was extremely timid and helpless, and he was afraid to death.

"You..... Are you the criminal officer, Lord Song? This this... Lord Song, the little one didn't know that you were here, this...

"What's not that?" Song Qing sneered: "If I let you know, I'm afraid Song would have been unable to live a long time ago, in a word, do you confess your guilt yourself, or Song will forcibly put you in a prison cell!"

Shushi didn't know what to do, and he was in a moment of fear, and he didn't expect such a result at all.

Following Man Kun, he thought that he could eat and drink for a lifetime, but it didn't take long for the good days to be like this.

"This.... Lord Song, actually..... In fact, Xia Guan was also forced to be helpless, all of this was done by this Man Kun, and he was forced to do it..."

Song Qing obviously didn't want to continue to talk nonsense with him, and when he waved his hand, a soldier controlled him, and then he was put in prison.

Song Qing and the others followed in, and then appeared in the cell, the cell boss saw it, and when he saw Song Qing behind him, he collapsed to the ground all of a sudden.

Song Qingdao: "What a cell boss, I didn't expect Song to meet you in such an identity today!"

The latter was completely silent, he was already stunned, and his mind was even more blank.

“... My lord, how do you ..... How could you ....."

Tang Yueyue shouted angrily, "Bold, this is our Great Song Ti criminal officer, you are really blind, and you dare to put him in a prison cell, it is really infuriating."

The cell boss knelt down and said, "Adult, little... The little one doesn't know at all, or else.... If it weren't for the magistrate's explanation, how could the little one have locked you up here, don't you say?"

Song Qing didn't say a word, and said to the deputy general: "Take off this person's clothes and hat, lock up with Shushi, and wait for the new magistrate to take office, and hand it over to him to deal with."

The cell boss was soon locked in, and when Song Qing walked out of the cell and came to the house, there were already many people gathered outside, and there were no taxes of all kinds, and they were so happy that they wanted to jump in the streets.

Someone said: "Lord Song, this is all thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how corrupt my Kaiyuan county would be, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare to continue to stay here."

"Yes, yes, Lord Song, you are the savior of our Great Song, if it weren't for you, we would still be living in dire straits."

These people took a lot of fruits and specialties and gave them to Song Qing, and he accepted them one by one, after all, the courtesy was light and affectionate, and he didn't dare to ask for anything valuable, and he couldn't ask for it.

Song Qing had never been so happy to send the people away, and when he returned to the house, he suddenly remembered something and said: "Deputy General Chao, I want to know, about the bodies of Wang San and others, do you give them a burial?" This person died to save Song, how can I watch them violently corpses in the wild?"

"Lord Hui, before I left, these prisoners and Lord Ji's people had already buried them on that mountain.

Song Qing put his mind at ease, and let the spirits of these people guard this mountain, hoping that this coal mine will never be discovered.

After waiting here for several days, soon the new magistrate had arrived, and Song Qing went through the handover procedures with him, and then finally left, walking on the road with five hundred people.

This place is not too far from Lian and the others, and Song Qing also has the idea of going back to visit them.

So he hurried to the road, walked for several days in a row, and finally arrived at the destination, when he was not far away, Song Qing stopped these people here, and then took Tang Yueyue and Deputy General Chao and others away.

Inside the house, Lian and the other three children were having lunch, and there were no good dishes on the table, but some very ordinary dishes, which ordinary people could eat.

For Song Qing, Lian also misses him very much, but now there is no news, even if she wants to look for it, she doesn't know where to go, and she can't leave. Outside the house, Song Qing ordered a few people to stop here, and then strode to the house, and when they saw Lian and his younger brothers and sisters, tears filled their eyes.

"Mother, Qing'er is back."

"Brother." The younger brothers and sisters hurriedly ran over, they were very happy, and kept hugging Song Qing, as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

When Lian Shi heard this voice, she couldn't help but be happy, she didn't know what the situation was now, and she didn't know if Song Qing was on the list, the village was isolated from the world, and almost never interacted with the outside.

"Qing'er, you're finally back." At this moment, Lian was very pleased, she stroked Song Qing's face with her hand and said: "Thin, Qing'er, you have lost weight, can you tell your mother what hardships you have suffered outside?"

Song Qing reported good news and did not report bad news, but chose to hide all the bad things. "Mother, now the child has become a criminal officer like his father, mother, you can rest assured, there are hundreds of people under the child's command now."

Lian was relieved, but when she thought of the current officialdom, she was very, very helpless.
