Chapter 161: All Except
The rice line was quickly divided up cleanly, and there was not even a single bit of silver and silver tickets left inside, Song Ci didn't care, let them be!
Just after this episode, the sound of iron horses in the distance was intertwined, and the sound of horses' hooves continued, and then hundreds of black-clothed people came over, there were dozens of carriages, and each carriage had thousands of catties of grain on it, and there were tens of thousands of catties in total.
Walking in front of the team were the two Peng Yun, who rode tall horses, and when they came to Mi Xingwai, they found that the situation was different, and there were many people from the military camp here.
A trace of horror crossed their faces, and then they saw that there was nothing in the rice shop, and at the same time they saw that their men had died tragically in the streets, and they did not know what was wrong.
When he looked left and right, he suddenly saw that Song Ci was still nearby, and at this moment Peng Yun and the others were angry, and immediately roared: "Bold, you actually pretended to be someone from the military camp, and at the same time killed innocents indiscriminately, today, how can this official tolerate you?"
Song Ci looked at him dead and didn't say anything.
Peng Zhixian waved his hand and motioned to his subordinates, "Come on, capture all these people for me."
Someone rushed out, but the fastest reaction was still the general of Song Ci's military camp, and they all went out and packed the two including Peng Yun like buckets.
Wen Cheng shouted: "Bold Zhixian, the director of the Criminal Department, and the original criminal officer Lord Song came to Taihe, why don't you kneel down?"
With a bang, the neighborhood became a mess, first all the surrounding people knelt on the rain, and then they cried one after another, which was shed tears of excitement.
They have suffered too many sins and suffered too much, and all of this has a lot of dissatisfaction with the magistrate.
At the same time, Peng Yun and the others felt that they were about to collapse, they never thought that the person who bet with them yesterday was the director of the Criminal Department, that is, Song Ci, the criminal officer who was famous in the Great Song Dynasty.
They regret it at the moment, why didn't they get rid of each other that day, why did they bet with each other, isn't this looking for death?
Peng Zhixian said fearfully: "It turned out to be Lord Song, down.... Xia Guan has never seen Lord Song either, he is really confused at the moment, Lord Song, it seems that you don't say hello when you go to Taihe County, and Xia Guan also entertains him, otherwise how could there be such a misunderstanding?"
Yun Xiao also opened the button, "Hey, this is really my own people beating my own people, we are all subordinates of Emperor Lizong, how can we meet each other?" Everyone, they've all retreated,"
The voice fell, and no one on Song Ci's side retreated, which made them slightly embarrassed, and they didn't know how to start if they had something to say.
Song Ci just looked at them like this, his face gradually became more ugly, and gradually it was suddenly pitch black, like Bao Qing in the world.
He said coldly: "Peng Fei, and Yun Xiao, I have already met a few days ago, and at the same time, you also know the bottom of Song, and Song also knows your identity, so don't talk nonsense at this moment, what else do you have to say at this moment?"
"This, this... Lord Song, this is all a misunderstanding, no, we.... We're here to deliver relief food. ”
"Relief food? A good disaster relief food, two adults, Song asked you, is there a flood, a drought, or a locust in Taihe County? I don't know why I need disaster relief?"
Erquan was cowardly, his five organs were fluttering, and he wanted to escape from the cluster earlier, but unfortunately, there was no such opportunity. …
"It turns out that Lord Song is questioning that there is no disaster in the cluster, since this is the case, then come here, let's put the grain in the county warehouse and wait for it to be used for disaster relief in the future."
There was silence nearby, and these people had already seen that Peng Yun and the others were in a catastrophe today, and they were unwilling to listen to their orders at the moment.
The scene was silent for a while, and the next moment someone couldn't sit still, it was none other than Peng Yun and the others.
"That Lord Song, you see that we are all officials in the same dynasty, as colleagues, although you have a lot of official positions and we are, but do you think this matter is a misunderstanding?"
"Lord Song, the two of us are willing to make amends, and we are willing to... In fact, the words are clear, Lord Song, if you are willing to let us live, how about the two of us willing to offer 10,000 taels of silver?"
Song Ci was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly at this moment.
"Peng Zhixian, Master Yun, don't talk nonsense Song, do you remember a day ago, or a cluster, at that time we made a bet? It was Song who promised three days at the time, but you were January, I wonder if the two of you have forgotten about it?"
"This and this..... Lord Song, the lower officials admitted that this matter was misunderstood by the lower officials and was confused for a while, you see..."
"Shut up!"
The sound of anger seemed to come from the five guts, not from the throat. Song Ci's eyes were on fire, and he seemed to be able to shoot out immediately, hitting the two of them directly.
"Two, now that the matter is over, Song is no longer talking nonsense, are you convinced or not?
"Ahh My lord, this...
"What's this? What do you have to say at this moment that you have committed a great crime by stealing the grain of the imperial court, taking the clusters and selling them, and at the same time not allowing the people to go out of the city, nor allowing any grain to be transported, causing the people to starve to death countless times?"
In the last sentence, Song Ci almost roared out.
Peng Yun and the others didn't know how to explain, and knelt on the ground at the moment. expressed repentance, but unfortunately, Song Ci did not appreciate it.
"The two of you have violated the law, and at this moment Song doesn't want to pursue what other big mistakes you have made, in short, I don't think it's one or two, not three or four, but you only need to die once.
Both of them were about to cry with fright, and when they learned that there was no hope of survival, they were not afraid, they simply broke the jar and broke it, and they didn't care about anything.
"Song Ci, the two of us fell into your hands today, we admit it, the big deal is death, what is there to fear? It's just Song Ci, don't think that you can change it if you are full of enthusiasm
"This whole Great Song, do you know how many people like us? And how many people are like you? Song Ci, you are also a smart person, otherwise how could you be the director of the Criminal Department? I don't know, this official is right?"
Song Ci stared at him without saying a word.
"Hehe, don't think that you can arrest the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the entire Great Song Dynasty with a Song Ci, even if Emperor Lizong comes in person, what's the use? Song Ci
Song Ci, you are full of ambitions, maybe you can't display them. ”
Song Ci said: "Why, knowing that there is no hope of survival, you want to pull Song to your boat at this moment?"
"Pull you? No, no, no, some people can pull it, but some people can't pull it, such as Song Ci, this official also knows that you have solved countless cases in the past ten years as a criminal officer, you can be the broom star of my Great Song Dynasty officialdom, if you can win you over, then these second-grade officials in the imperial court will not be cut off their heads!" …
Yun Xiao also smiled and said: "Although this official does not have an official position, but he has a lot of power, I manage the granary of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and there are hundreds of millions of catties of grain in it, which can be countless, but who will check on me, an official who has no official position?"
"For example, you Song Ci, have been investigating corrupt officials and corrupt officials all these years, these people are either prefects or prefects, and even have prefects, right? This official has no official position, but his life is not necessarily worse than theirs, and he has not even had the opportunity to be dismissed, if it weren't for your Song Ci coming to the cluster, hehe, the grain of the Great Song Dynasty, this official could sell millions of catties a year. ”
Song Ci'an didn't know how to answer, he only knew that these two people belonged to the truth, and he had indeed been negligent all these years, was it too late at this moment?
He didn't know, what was certain was that the corrupt officials of the Great Song Dynasty could not be caught, killed inexhaustibly, and died batch after batch, unless there was no officialdom, corruption would always exist.
"Okay, two adults, since the words are all here, do you have any last words, if you can explain to other officials, Song may give you a lenient sentence.
They sneered, they didn't believe this kind of thing at all, as old men in the officialdom, they already knew that this would come, but they didn't expect it to come soon.
"Song Ci, the two of us are worth it in this life, if you want to kill it, you can kill it, but you remember, we are not the first, and we are definitely not the last."
Song Ci looked at the two of them coldly, and then slowly spit out a word in his mouth, "Kill!" The two broadswords fell almost at the same time, and the two heads also fell to the ground at the same time, and the blood flowed all over the place.
There was cheering nearby, and the death of the two was definitely good news for them.
But at this moment, Song Ci was silent, and unconsciously, his face gradually became solemn.
"My lord, what are you doing..."
"Wencheng Wenwu, give all the food on the carriage to the people, and don't keep a little. At the same time, he immediately took people to Yamen, confiscated all the property of this magistrate and Yun Darao's family, and then distributed it to the people. ”
"At the same time, control all the officials at the city gate, and from now on, you can enter and leave the city gate at will, without charging a tael of silver."
"Yes, sir."
After all this, Song Ci looked at the surroundings numbly, looking at these people who were still distributing food, hoping that they could live a better life, and that there would be no more famine in this Taihe County.
In the crowd, Song Ci saw that the old man who reported the official was also there, so he walked over, came to his side and said, "Eldest sister, Song is very grateful to you for coming to report to the official, but I want to know, there are heavy soldiers at the city gate, I don't know where you came from?"
The woman said: "Lord Song, don't you know, although the city gate only needs to enter and not go out, but these officials also have to eat, you can compete with some silver to ensure that you can come out openly."
Song Ci understood, not only the magistrate was greedy, but the officials below him were also greedy, which was that the upper beam was crooked and the lower beam was crooked.
Helping the woman up, Song Ci remembered her son, and said at this moment: "Eldest sister, don't worry, Song will take someone to the yamen to investigate the case thoroughly, as long as your son does not break the law, Song will naturally not convict him, and will be released immediately."
