Song Kaifeng Mansion to Gong County on an official road

"It's almost time to head south." Li Sanjian, who was riding on a horse, looked at the road and said.

Zhou Fanggeng and others are not fools, if they are fools, then they are fools, so Li Sanjian used a plan to attack the east and west, making them scratch their heads.

This place is far away from the city of Kaifeng Mansion, and there should be no eyes and ears of Zhou Fanggeng and others, so Li Sanjian plans to turn around at this time and go straight to Caizhou.

"Division... That uncle, since this is the case, we should speed up the march at this time, and it is best for a certain leader to take the first step to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Yao Yu felt a little ashamed that he didn't guess Li Sanjian's thoughts, and he was not as good as a tomb robber, so he suggested.

Yao Yu also suspected that Li Sanjian and others were walking too slowly.

You must know that the speed of riding a horse is not only related to the horse, but also to the horse's riding skills.

"What Shu Xing said is extremely true." Li Sanjian nodded in agreement and said: "This is indeed a foolproof plan, well, Shu Xing and Xu Biao will lead people to take the first step, and I will arrive later, Yan Si, you will also go." ”

"The little one obeys." Yan Si responded.

"So, teacher... That uncle, so-and-so took the first step. Yao Yu arched his hand and said.

"Do you have a bad mouth? Speech is incoherent. Li Sanjian glared at Yao Yu and said.

Li Sanjian couldn't help laughing after speaking.

is older than himself, and let him call him uncle, it is indeed difficult for him, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"Uncle Shi, so-and-so is gone." Yao Yu's face was red, and he galloped away with Xu Biao, Yan Si and others as if fleeing in the direction of Caizhou.

"It's not too early, I'll leave quickly, when it's dark, it's not good to walk aisle." Li Sanjian then looked at the sky and said.

So a group of more than ten horses galloped towards Caizhou.

The dust on the official road was rolled up again, causing all the pedestrians to look sideways and avoid it.

What are these officials and officials doing? The passers-by were very puzzled in their hearts, was they walking horses or showing their official authority?

。。。。。。。。

Caizhou is Runan County, that is, the land of Western Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, where the scholar group has always been thriving, and the folk customs are also relatively strong.

Runan, the land of confidants, is also the second Beijing teacher.

Li Tang and Li Yuxue attacked Caizhou at night and captured the battle of Wu Yuanji, the envoy of Huaixi Jiedu, took place in Caizhou.

The city of Caizhou is tall, and the city towers, city walls, urn cities, etc. are also built extremely strongly, and if you defend the city with your heart, it can be said that it is impregnable.

Caizhou is under the jurisdiction of the Song Huaikang Army, and is an important state and county on the North Road of Beijing, and its strategic location is extremely important.

If you want to take Jiangnan, you must first take Runan.

At the same time, because Caizhou is close to the capital, there is a strange phenomenon in Caizhou, that is, Beijing officials and even Zai Fu have a slight fault, often degraded to Caizhou Zhizhou, such as Lu Duan, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dian and others, all of whom used to be Caizhou Zhizhou.

And sometimes the court wants to promote the handsome and fashionable people, and they often guard Caizhou Prefecture first, and then enter the court as officials.

Caizhou has jurisdiction over 12 counties such as Wufang, Xiping, Langshan, Xinxi, Zhenyang, and Shangcai, and the place of Bi Yuanwai is in Zhenyang County.

The punishment of the Song Dynasty is divided into the main punishment and the supplementary punishment, the main punishment or the main punishment, that is, the flogging, the rod, the imprisonment, the exile, and the death, of which the main punishment can be broken except for the death penalty and other serious crimes.

The so-called breaking of the rod means that the flogging, the rod, the prisoner, and the stream are respectively broken into the cane, so as to reduce the punishment.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the old law of the Tang Dynasty was mixed with the new law of the current dynasty, so it was more chaotic, in order to change this situation, in order to change the harsh and cruel punishment of the Five Dynasties period, and to reform the disadvantages of the indiscriminate punishment of the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty promulgated the Broken Stick Law in the fourth year of Jianlong, that is, the basis of the officials, the discrepancy of the name of the expulsor, the formulation of the Broken Stick Law, and incorporated into the "Song Criminal System".

However, after the implementation of the cane folding law, the imperial court found that both ordinary criminals and felons enjoyed the preferential treatment of the cane folding method, so there was a problem that the punishment was not light enough to punish evil, so additional punishments were added.

Supplementary punishments are also known as accessory punishments, the main of which are subordinate punishments and administrative punishments, and the other is punishments such as fines and copper.

The punishment of subordinate punishment is heavier than that of the administrative penalty, which is generally applied to officials and prisoners of some lesser crimes.

Among them, the punishment is divided into thorn face and non-thorn face.

Thorn face matching is the tattooing of words or tattoo symbols on the face or forehead, and the person who pierces the face is called "black face matching" or "thorn face matching".

Once a person is tattooed with a character or symbol, it cannot be removed for the rest of his life, and even if he spends a lot of money to remove the character or symbol with medicine, he will leave a permanent scar on his face or forehead, which cannot be eradicated at all, and at the same time, it can be seen at a glance that the person who has been tattooed has been subjected to such severe punishment and will not be punished for the rest of his life.

After the prisoner was assigned to the prison, he was sent to a designated place for hard labor, and at the same time he was attached to the military and returned to the prison city or barracks. Love you eBook

The so-called "thief with army" refers to the crime with the subordinate.

The place where a person is assigned is also different, and it is determined according to the severity of the crime committed.

In the first year of Yuanfu, the first emperor Zhao Xu issued an edict to divide the land into nine classes, namely Benzhou, Linzhou, 500 li, 1000 li, 2,000 li, 3,000 li, Guangnan Military Prefecture, Far Evil Military Prefecture, and Shamen Island.

Basically, if you are assigned to the latter types of matching, you will never come back, because even if you get rid of your nationality, you will be incorporated into the local household registration.

Li Sanjian's grandfather and father were assigned to Qiongtai Danzhou to be managed.

Bi Yuanwai was stabbed and sent to a neighboring state, that is, the Caizhou military camp, and it should be said that the punishment was relatively light.

"Who's coming?" When Yao Yu, Xu Biao, Yan Si and others hurried to the military camp in Zhenyang County, Caizhou, it was late at night, so the soldiers inspecting the barracks asked.

"We are the people of the Kaifeng Mansion, and we need to bring people back to the capital when we come here." Yao Yu dismounted and replied.

"Kaifeng Mansion?" At this time, a military general walked over with several soldiers carrying lanterns, and asked after taking a picture of the lantern in front of Yao Yu and others.

"Exactly." Yao Yu then took off the official badge from his waist and handed it to the general for inspection.

"It turned out that Yao was an official, disrespectful, disrespectful." After inspecting it, the general handed the official card back to Yao Yu with both hands with a smile on his face.

Although Caizhou is not subordinate to Kaifeng Mansion, there should be an equal level between the prefectures, at least there is not much difference, but Kaifeng Mansion is the first government in the world, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion are Beijing officials, so even if they are at the same level, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion are higher than the average state officials, not to mention the small military general in front of Yao Yu? Not to mention the tiny Zhenyang County.

"I don't know why Yao Dangguan came?" The general then led Yao Yu and the others to the barracks, and asked respectfully.

"There are suspicious points in the case of Bi Lin in the capital, and this official was ordered to bring the prisoner Bi Lin back to the government for retrial." Yao Yu replied.

"Biling? The Bi Lin in the case of Jingshi's rape and sister-in-law? Hearing this, the general asked suspiciously: "Didn't Bi Lin be taken away?" ”

"What? Who took it? Yao Yuyan stopped when he heard this, and asked in surprise.

"It's also a person from the Kaifeng Mansion." The general then asked one of the priests on the side, "Isn't it?" Zhang Zhiji. ”

"That's right, it's the person from the Kaifeng Mansion, and he still holds the Kaifeng Mansion documents and Wang Zhizhou's warrant." Hearing this, Zhang Zhisi replied.

"Really... True... Straight sissy thief. Hearing this, Yao Yu asked angrily, "When did it happen?" How long have they been gone? In which direction? ”

Yao Yu was originally a little unimpressed by Li Sanjian's cautious move, and originally thought that this matter should be smooth and deserved, but Yao Yu and the others never expected that the other party would actually make a move in advance, and took the first step to take Bi Lin away, which made Yao Yu and the others suddenly feel a little flustered.

It's not good, Bi Lin is in danger, Yao Yu suddenly exclaimed in his heart.

Since the other party wants to cover up this matter, then they will definitely not leave a living mouth, they may kill people on the way back, and then find an excuse to cover up this matter, such as dying of a violent illness or something, if so, it will be more difficult for Li Sanjian and others to continue to investigate.

"Tell me, when did you leave? In which direction? Delayed the big thing, Nale and the others asked. Yao Yu saw that the people in the Caizhou military camp were hesitant, and he didn't seem to want to answer, so he asked loudly.

"Bird, say it quickly, don't say that grandpa will take you to the government prison today." Xu Biao asked, holding the half-unsheathed waist knife.

Xu Biao's burly figure and majestic official clothes were matched with the majestic official clothes, and he pressed the knife and asked, looking extremely majestic and imposing.

"This... They had departed two hours earlier, and had gone north, on the official road. Zhang Zhusi, Yao Yu and the others were a little flustered, so they hurriedly replied.

Zhang Zhisi was so flustered that he even forgot or did not dare to further find out the identities of Yao Yu and others.

"Which official road?" Yao Yu frowned and asked.

You must know that there is more than one official road to Kaifeng Mansion.

"The official road on the left." The general said flatteringly: "It is the fastest to pass through the city, but at this time the city gate is closed, and there is only a detour." ”

A curfew is also in place in Songchengchi, but the curfew is very short.

Li Tang's curfew time is generally a curfew after one watch, a watch beats the twilight drum, travel is prohibited, five watch three o'clock after the morning bell is opened, if someone violates, will be punished by whipping.

Since the Song Dynasty, the curfew has been changed to the beginning of the third watch, the end of the fifth watch, the curfew time has been shortened a lot, and the curfew is only closed at the time of the third watch, and the city gate is opened on the fifth watch, but the city can pass freely.

At this time, it was the fourth watch, so Yao Yu and others could not pass through the city at this time, of course, they could also submit the switch document to the county government of Zhenyang County to open the city gate, but this was too delayed, but it would take more time.

"You quickly go back to find Li Tuiguan and explain the matter." Yao Yu then said to one of his subordinates.

Catch the order quickly, don't dare to delay, turn over and gallop away the way you came.

"Xu Biao, Yan Si, I'll catch up quickly." Yao Yu then turned over and said to Xu Biao and Yan Si.

Yao Yu had no choice but to chase after Xu Biao, Yan Si and others around the city wall of Zhenyang County.
