Chapter 280: Taiping County Case IV

Song Qing didn't know how to explain it to him, but his heart was already firmer and he knew what he should do.

The folds have been handed over, there is no turning back, and at this moment, it is time to do something to these people.

Slowly returning to the yamen, it was almost dark at this moment, You Chuan arranged a place for the soldiers and sent some food. It's a little crowded, but it's okay, at least you don't have to spend the night outside.

Approaching the courtyard, there was a wooden table with many delicacies on it, all of which were specially prepared by You Chuan to entertain Song Qing.

This kind of hospitality is not considered a bribe, and a table adds up to less than two taels of silver, and ordinary people can afford to eat it.

You Chuan walked out of the lobby, and when he saw Song Qing, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Song is coming, it's time to eat, my lord has been in my Taiping County for almost a day, and I am ready to be lenient today."

It's been a long time, and Song Qing is really a little hungry, so he greeted Tang Yueyue and the deputy general to the table.

"You Zhi County, since this is the case, thank you very much, today's table meal really made You Zhi County break the bank."

"Why do you say this, these are just ordinary dishes, I said that Song Ti is not polite, besides, the court has regulations.

"Like you and me, it's a meal between officials, and you can take money from the treasury, so Song Tixing shouldn't investigate me for this matter."

Song Qing smiled: "How can I say You Zhi County, you are not at fault in this matter, and there is no need for Song to investigate you."

The two of them began to drink, touching their glasses, as if they were old acquaintances.

At the table, Tang Yueyue and the deputy general of the court were in charge of eating, and Song Qing and You Chuan had been discussing the Taiping County case.

"Song Ti's punishment is not that he is too worried about his humble position, but what he means is that we can be serious about this case, or a little more detailed, so that it is possible for us to completely wipe out the other party, what do you say."

Song Qing was silent for a while, still with a lot of dissatisfaction in his mind, but he was full of confidence, about this case, he had to figure it out.

"You Zhixian, your worries Song understands and supports you very much, but how about Song say a word today?"

"Regarding this county, in fact, Song also has a lot of worries and unconfidence, but there is a question that Song doesn't know if You Zhi County knows."

You Chuan said: "Although Song Tixing said that he has been here for many years, I am used to seeing such a scene, and I have seen through it."

Song Qingdao: "It's like this in Youzhi County, how can there be more than 100,000 people in this Taiping County, but Song can't figure it out, why are these people unwilling to go to Lin'an to sue the royal court" "Not to mention whether you can go to Xuande Hall to find Song Duzong, this criminal department alone is not in the palace, and there are countless officials on the streets of Lin'an every day, even if it is a blind cat, there is a day when you bump into a dead mouse, do you say it?"

Tang Yueyue and the deputy general of the court also remembered this question, and they were also negligent, if they got into such a thing, they would definitely go to Lin'an.

Besides, I wasn't walking on the street that day, and I was met by Lord Song You Chuan sighed: "My Lord Song, you are really tired of seeing people carry burdens, you haven't experienced it yourself, I don't know how ruthless these people are."

"It's okay to report that you haven't been found in Lin'an, but if you are discovered, then the consequences can't be solved with a few casual hits.

You Chuan took a sip of strong wine and said: "Song mentions, not to mention how far Taiping County is from Lin'an, but this toll, many people can't afford it, it takes almost ten taels of silver to go back and forth, how many people are not distressed"

"Also, these road rage have a backstage in the imperial court, if I don't report it and get arrested instead, this must be a very miserable end."

Song Qing understood, he was still too negligent, and this issue was obviously a long-term consideration.

"You Zhixian, Song admits that what you said is very reasonable and admits that what you said is extremely correct, but I have to think of a way to deal with this matter."

"But as a criminal officer, you are the county magistrate, and the people of the county depend on you to live, if this case is not taken seriously, I am afraid that it will become more and more fierce in the future." You Chuan knew this very well, and while the four of them were eating, a servant came to report it: "Master, just now a black-clothed team came to the gate of the yamen and kept shouting insults, they insulted the court, insulted the emperor, and insulted the lord."

You Chuan said: "Then are some of them gone?"

"Back to the master, these people have already left, and I don't know if they will come back in a while." Song Qing smiled bitterly, "See, Youzhi County, these people are already demonstrating to you, I believe that it won't be long before they will become more and more emboldened, and even dare to confront the yamen, you think this matter may continue to be tolerated"

"Also, they even dare to insult the emperor, I said You Zhi County, you finally know at this moment.

The latter picked up the glass and smashed it on the ground, and the wine was pouring out.

"They are so bold, assuming that there are tens of thousands of subordinates in the lowly position, I have to deal with them."

“... But Song Tixing, we really don't have the strength to be the enemy of the road rage, they want silver, or.... Why don't I talk to them?"

"Negotiation" Song Qing opened his eyes wide and said: "You Zhixian, you are Zhixian, you actually negotiate with these people, do you think it is possible, if this matter spreads, then where is the majesty of the imperial court."

He stopped talking, but he had a thought in his heart.

"What Song Tixing criticized just now is ah, the lowly position knows that it is wrong, and it was the lowly position who said nonsense just now, and he is really ashamed, very ashamed.

Song Qing didn't say anything, he still felt that this You Chuan was as timid as a mouse, and if these things in this county town had been more decisive at the beginning, maybe there would not have been today.

But to put it bluntly, the main reason lies in the imperial court and these officials and envoys, they are the culprits, and they are the culprits.

Everyone ate at the dinner table for a while, and then finally left, and the three of Song Qing walked to a small room under the leadership of You Chuan.

There are three small beds, an oil lamp, a table and three wooden stools.

You Chuan respectfully retreated outside the house, "Song Tixing, there is no other house in the Yamen at present, or you wait for a while to take time to rebuild."

Song Qing didn't think much about it, about this place, he may not be able to live for long, rather than this, it is better to insist on it first, and talk about it in the future.

"Youzhi County is serious, I'll wait for three people in a room, it's actually very good, just squeeze it a little, just hold on for a few days."

You Chuan left respectfully, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

Tang Yueyue closed the door and said: "My lord, I always feel that this magistrate is too timid, the reason why Taiping County is where it is today is actually mainly because of him."

Song Qing also meant this, he didn't know what to say at the moment, the matter had reached this point, and it was difficult to recover.

The three of them sat on the bed, each sighing, and the oil lamp was lit to illuminate the room. "Miss Yueyue and the deputy general of the court, what we do today, we can see the ending tomorrow, if the whole county is in chaos early tomorrow morning, we will have a fierce battle going on.

"But these people don't care, they are too lawless, they don't take the people seriously, since Song is a criminal officer, how can he let them go"

Tang Yueyue said: "My lord, no matter what you do, as long as you think it is right, I will support you unconditionally, whether it is the abyss or the sword mountain and sea of fire ahead, I Tang Yueyue will accompany you."

The deputy general also opened his mouth, "After staying by Zhang Kailiang's side for a long time, I have already seen too many bad things and corruption happening, and since following the adult, I finally have the feeling of being a man." ”

"My lord, you can check if you want, even if I die, I will insist on carrying out your orders."

Song Qing was very moved, with their support, he would be more confident. It was late at night, the oil lamp in the house went out, and they finally lay down on the bed and began to cultivate.

But You Chuan's body is stepping into the cell at this moment, he is really timid and chaotic tomorrow, and he has the idea of letting people go at this moment.

Entering the cell, he came to the side of several road ragepers, and his face was actually respectful, and his expression was very ugly.

He was followed by several servants, who were attendants.

At the door of the cell, You Chuan said: "Several, I let you suffer here today, and the official is really careless, so that you are actually imprisoned here, I really feel very guilty."

As soon as these words fell, everyone in this room was surprised, and then they got up and looked at each other.

"Hey, I told you that Lord Zhixian, you are still here, it is really incomprehensible, I can't figure it out.

"It's really surprising that Lord Zhixian is above 10,000 people in Taiping County, but I don't know why Lord Zhixian came here to make fun of me."

You Chuan said: "Someone, open the door quickly and let a few people out."

There was a servant who acted immediately, the iron was opened, and soon You Chuan walked in. "Regarding the arrest of several people today, the official also feels very ashamed, but this person who raised the sentence does not say hello, and the official does not know, otherwise the official apologizes to a few people."

In the cell, they were overjoyed, and all kinds of looks appeared on their faces, in short, there was such a scene, they seemed to have expected it, and it was infuriating.

"I said Lord Zhixian, this place is not just a casual place, nor can you leave if you want to, how do you think this matter can be just like that?"

You Chuan was embarrassed, he was a county magistrate who spoke to Lu Ba in such a low voice, if the people knew about it, it was estimated that he would be scolded to death.

However, for the sake of this matter, he had to do this, which was also a last resort, otherwise the entire Taiping County would not be in a mess, don't you say
