Chapter 24 Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge
Hui'an County, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty Zhao Guangyi in the Taiping rejuvenation of the country in the sixth year, Jinjiang County Dongxiang sixteen miles to Hui'an County, take the meaning of "Hui'an people" called Hui'an County.
Hui'an County, together with Jinjiang and Nan'an, is collectively known as "Quanzhou Sanyi", which is actually a large county in Quanzhou.
Of course, Hui'an County is a large county in Quanzhou, and when compared with the real large counties of the Song Dynasty, it is far away, such as Yanjin County, Kaifeng Prefecture.
Hui'an County is not only a large county in Quanzhou, but also a coastal city with a coastline of hundreds of miles.
When Hui'an County was first placed, the county governance was not on the seaside, but in Dongxiang Sixteen Miles, in the turtle pond, far away from the seaside fish area.
The first governor of Hui'an County was a Jinshi named Cui Zhijie, and according to legend, he got the guidance of a god in his dream, so that the county was moved to the current Hui'an County. This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the land is fertile, the people are prosperous, the north and south can be passed, the mountains and the sea are both beneficial, it is really a treasure land of feng shui.
Hui'an County Luoshan negative yi, its city is like "snail lion spit meat", so it is also called "snail city".
At the same time, Hui'an County is not too far away from Quanzhou, only dozens of miles, fast horses or fast boats, one day to arrive.
Li Sanjian and others rushed to the county seat of Hui'an County in the evening of the same day.
Before Meng Guangxi, the county magistrate of Hui'an County, had time to set up a reception banquet for Li Sanjian and others, he hurriedly invited Li Sanjian and others into the county government of Hui'an County, and invited two Lang Zhong to take a look at Li Sanjian's injuries.
The reason is that when Li Sanjian and others were about to arrive in Hui'an County, they encountered a torrential rain, which drenched Li Sanjian's body up and down, and the wound became more and more serious.
"Shhhhhh When an old man removed the wet cloth wrapped around Li Sanjian's injured leg, Li Sanjian gasped in pain.
"How?" Li Sanjian then asked Lao Langzhong worriedly.
It's a pity that Xu Shuwei and Gongsun Rouniang are not around, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, otherwise they will have a good rest for themselves.
If his leg is really wasted in Hui'an County, wouldn't it be "dying before he gets out of school"?
Li Sanjian thought worriedly.
"Li Fuzun is relaxed." Lao Langzhong carefully cleaned Li Sanjian twice with a potion made of herbs, and then carefully examined the wound on Li Sanjian's leg before he replied: "The wound on the skin surface, before it is inside, the Venerable Li Mansion is so young, it will be healed in a few days." ”
"These medicines applied to Li Fuzun's legs should have miraculous effects, but Li Fuzun has to be good for a few days, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable." Another Lang Zhong also said to Li Sanjian.
"Thank you, gentlemen." Li Sanjian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Someone is coming... See... Belch... Two gentlemen, please come back, uh... Xu Biao, come over here. ”
Li Sanjian wanted to reward the two men with some money, but at this time Li Sanjian was penniless, not only Li Sanjian, but also Yao Yu, Li Gang, and Xu Biao's money was also "looted" by Li Sanjian. . .
"San Lang, what's the matter with me?" Xu Biao walked up to Li Sanjian and asked.
"Come here with your ears ... So so so so ... Li Sanjian whispered a few words to Xu Biao, and Xu Biao nodded and walked out.
"Meng County Order." Li Sanjian then Meng Guangxi said: "Borrow some of your people, oh, by the way, the county government prison also borrows and borrows." ”
"The prince of the mansion, the people of the county and the people of the dawn are all under the command of Li Fuzun, how can you borrow it?" Meng Guangxi is another sycophant, just
Hurriedly went out of the county government to arrange.
What does Li Sanjian want to do in a prison cell? Meng Guangxi thought nonsense as he walked, could it be that he wanted to try the case in person? Trial of Zhong Cheng's collusion with bandits? Will he chop Zhong Cheng alive on the spot?
In a moment, Xu Biao and Yao Yu led Zheng Tai in, and at the same time, the ten strong officials arranged by Meng Guangxi were also arranged on both sides of the county government hall according to their knives, and the entire county government hall suddenly looked much more solemn.
"Smack!" Li Sanjian sat on Meng Guangxi's position in the lobby, slapped the shocking wood on the bookcase, and asked loudly, "Who is in the hall?" ”
"Great... Great officials... Small... It's Zheng Tai. Zheng Tai entered the lobby, and the second monk was puzzled and stammered.
"Zheng Tai, the head of the thieves in Shuangyang Mountain, take it down for this official and put him in prison." Li Sanjian then shouted loudly.
When Xu Biao and Yao Yu heard this, they pounced on them and Zheng Tai was pressed to the ground.
"Big officials, small ones are not guilty!" Zheng Tai struggled desperately.
But no matter how Zheng Tai struggled, he couldn't break free from Yao Yu and Xu Biao.
Zheng Tai is strong in martial arts and infinitely powerful, but no matter how strong his martial arts are, he is not as good as Yao Yu, and no matter how great his strength is, he is not as good as Xu Biao.
At the same time, Li Sanjian came prepared, but Zheng Tai was caught off guard, even if Zheng Tai was prepared, and this place was the county government of Hui'an County, so he was powerless.
In fact, since Zheng Tai came to Hui'an County, he faintly felt that something was wrong, the reason was that after arriving in the county seat, Li Sanjian ordered Meng Guangxi to separate Zheng Tai from his subordinates.
But so far, Zheng Tai still refuses to believe what Li Sanjian wants to do to him.
Zheng Tai has already stated that he is ready to accept the government's recruitment, and Zheng Tai has taken Zhong Chengmanmen for Li Sanjian, so Li Sanjian has no reason to punish them.
Unless Li Sanjian is a villain who has no faith in his words, Zheng Tai said secretly in his heart.
"Not guilty?" Li Sanjian sneered when he heard this: "Whether you are guilty or not guilty, it's not up to you to decide, it's up to the official to decide, come and put him on death row, and wait for punishment." ”
Li Sanjian was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and ordered after slapping the shocked wood again.
"The little ones obey the orders of the Fuzun." The ten officials bowed down to receive the order together, then took the shackles, and without saying anything, they put the shackles on Zheng Tai, and led him outside.
"Great official, you can't tear down the bridge for crossing the river, villain... The villain is wronged! The heavy wooden jia was on Zheng Tai's neck, and it was extremely difficult for Zheng Tai to turn his head, but he still desperately turned his head to look at Li Sanjian and said angrily.
Li Sanjian didn't answer, walked off the bookcase, looked sideways at Zheng Tai and sneered.
Seeing this, ten Hui'an County officials dragged Zheng Tailian out and escorted him to the Hui'an County prison.
"Great... Big... The government respects the minister. . . This... This... This... Aren't men your attendants? Why did you become a bandit? Meng Guangxi on the side asked in surprise.
"This person is the head of the Shuangyang Mountain bandits, surnamed Zheng Mingtai." Li Sanjian looked at Meng Guangxi and told the truth: "This person wants to ask the government to recruit peace, but the official doesn't believe him, so he will be taken down and judged for his crime." ”
In fact, it is not that Li Sanjian does not believe that Zheng Tai wants to seek the government's recruitment, but Li Sanjian has long believed in his sincerity
But at this time, Zheng Tai was still unruly, still difficult to get rid of, not long before, Zheng Tai beheaded one of his subordinates, Mingli was coercing the rest of his subordinates to accept the government's recruitment, but secretly there was a threat to Li Sanjian, at least at that time, if Li Sanjian did not agree at that time, then the big ring knife may fall on Li Sanjian's head.
How can such a person be used by Li Sanjian?
Therefore, Li Sanjian planned to lock him up for a period of time, wear down Zheng Tai's spirit, remove Zheng Tai's gangsterism, and then take him under his command according to the situation.
This is Li Sanjian's plan.
"He's Zheng Tai?" Meng Guangxi was even more surprised when he heard this.
"Huh? Does the Meng County Order know this person? Hearing this, Li Sanjian looked at Meng Guangxi and asked rhetorically.
"Of course." Meng Guangxi replied: "This Zheng Tai is a well-known figure in Hui'an County, and the county has also painted pictures to catch this thief, but this doesn't look like it?" ”
In this world, to catch thieves, relying on portraits, if the description is inaccurate or the painter's painting is too poor, it is completely possible to have a big difference, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.
Meng Guangxi paused for a moment and then said: "Zheng Tai, a fisherman, was later robbed of homes and houses, occupied the mountains as kings, and the government encircled and suppressed them several times, but they all returned in vain. ”
"Well, I see, who does this person do on weekdays?" Li Sanjian asked after pondering for a moment.
If Zheng Tai harms the people and is heinous, what if he is a villain who is untrustworthy once? Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, no matter what, he can't be left to live in this world.
"There is no doubt that this man is a thief." Meng Guangxi replied: "But the lower officials haven't heard of this ** harming ordinary people, just doing some kidnapping and blackmail, selling illicit salt, etc., oh, by the way, they also played the banner of 'doing the right thing for heaven'... ”
Walk for the sky? It's for heaven again, Li Sanjian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
There is only one heaven in this world, that is, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter who can be the master of heaven and do the right thing for heaven, and doing the right thing for heaven is just fooling his subordinates and ignorant people.
Kidnapping tickets for extortion, selling illicit salt? Li Sanjian then thought that since they were extorting and selling illegal salt, then of course the target of their kidnapping tickets was the rich households, and the ordinary poor people were destitute at home, where would they have extra money and property to extort them?
But the rich are also the people, and they cannot be deprived of their possessions at will.
Robbing the rich and helping the poor? Robbing the rich and helping the poor is complete nonsense, if this world allows robbing the rich to help the poor, wouldn't it be a mess? So who dares to be rich?
However, what Zheng Tai and others did, extorting rich people and selling illicit salt, was a little better than bullying the people, Li Sanjian then thought about it.
"Meng County Order!" Li Sanjian then instructed Meng Guangxi: "Zhong Cheng's case will be decided by your Hui'an County, and the results will be reported to the state government." ”
"The subordinate obeys!" Meng Guangxi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly answered the order.
Li Sanjian's words indicated that he would no longer pursue the relationship between Meng Guangxi and Zhong Cheng, so Meng Guangxi was secretly happy in his heart.
"Li Fuzun, what about Zheng Tai's case?" Meng Guangxi then asked.
"There's not one... Is there a killer stick? Li Sanjian replied after thinking about it.
"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Meng Guangxi comprehended the answer.
