Chapter 6 Crushing people to death at the level of officials and universities
"Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager, come, I'll give two heroes another drink!" Li An, who was red-faced and red-faced, turned the tide of the battle when he heard that only Xiao Yao and Gao Yuan had joined, and scared the water thieves to their knees and begged for mercy, so excited that they kept raising their glasses to toast.
"Brother Li is really a lover, the two dragons in the Julong Gang were captured, Brother Li is so excited, do these two have any deep hatred with you?" Although the ancient rice wine was less than ten degrees, Xiao Yao drank too much and talked more.
"I'm ashamed to say it, the three generations of Li are all military attaches of Xunyang County, and it is my duty to protect the territory and the people, after the Julong Gang committed crimes in Poyang Lake, I also led troops to conquest, but these three dragons are really powerful, and they are outnumbered, not only did they not succeed in exterminating them, but they were killed and fled, alas! This scar is due to them! Ang Lee showed the long scar on his chest.
"They do have some skills, just because you old and weak soldiers are not their opponents at all, especially these two dragons are combined, and they can be several times the enemy!" Xiao Moke touched his wounds and admitted that this group of water thieves was not a rabble.
Li An poured a large glass of wine, his eyes were red and said: "If your skills are not as good as others, you have nothing to say if you lose, but this Julong Gang is too entangled with us in private!" They... β
"My lord, you've drunk too much..." Before he could finish speaking, one of Ang Lee's subordinates immediately came up to stop him from continuing.
Li An really drank too much, pushed away the entourage, was afraid of the case, and scolded: "What are you afraid of, I will tell them all their shameless deeds today, don't think I don't know anything, we went to suppress bandits several times, but they were on guard every time, and when they passed the merchant ships, they robbed one by one, I don't believe they didn't respond!" β
Li An poured another cup and then scolded: "That guy surnamed Lin, a dignified Xunyang County guard, but he uses his power for personal gain, and every time he extorts from the people in the name of suppressing bandits, how many of them fall into the hands of our soldiers?" With the big boxes of silver that the Julong Gang honored him every month, he sold us all! β
"How can this be true? Such corrupt officials, why don't you report to the court and investigate according to law! Xiao Moke was furious when he heard this, and he shot the case!
"Lord Xiao, although he is just a Taishou, he is the son-in-law of Jiangzhou Thorn History, and they are all a family! Report to the imperial court? I was stopped before I left Jiangzhou! Pity our people in Jiangzhou, they were robbed by the Julong Gang, and they were robbed by the assassin Shi Taishou, many people can't survive, and many people choose to fall into the grass as a coward, join the Julong Gang, and help the abuse! Speaking of deep affection, Ang Lee's tears fell.
"Lord Xiao, you are a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and you can face the saint in the court, so today Xiao Gongzi came to ask for help, and I immediately ordered troops to dispatch, in order to hope that you can say this in front of the emperor at that time and save the people of Jiangzhou from fire and water!" Ang Lee knelt down to petition Xiao Moke.
"Li Duwei, please hurry up, as an official of the imperial court, of course he has the responsibility to report these corrupt officials and corrupt officials!" Xiao Moke hurriedly asked Ang Li to get up.
"Yes, Daddy, you must let these people who have plagued the people deserve it!" Xiao Wuhua was also filled with righteous indignation when he heard it.
Xiao Shilian, who was only on the side, his face was cloudy, and he whispered to Xiao Moke: "Dad, the current Jiangzhou Thorn History is a cronie of Cai Jingli, the head of the household!" Cai Jingli is not only very popular with the emperor now, but also a confidant of the crown prince Chen Shubao! β
After listening, Xiao Moke was also stunned on the spot, and half of the wine woke up: Cai Jingli, the head of the household, is the emperor's important minister and the prince's henchman! Jiangzhou Thorn Shi is his cronies, so he can be regarded as half of the emperor's important ministers and half of the prince's henchmen!
It turns out that this Lin Taishou has such a hard backstage, no wonder he dares to be so bold, collude with robbers, and fish the people!
Xiao Moke is only Bashan Taishou now, and he is a military attachΓ©, and he is not good at political struggles in the court, and when he heard that his son helped him analyze the relationship and the stakes in this, he immediately hesitated.
Li An saw Xiao Moke's changes, so he could only continue to persuade: "If Lord Xiao feels that there is anything difficult, Li is not strong, I just hope that before Lord Xiao leaves, this group of water thieves can be corrected on the spot and kill the arrogance of the Julong Gang, otherwise I am afraid that in a few days, after the adults leave, they will return to the Julong Gang unharmed!" β
Xiao Moke was still hesitant, shook his head and said nothing, and his mood for drinking was gone. Everyone had their own thoughts, so a lively celebration banquet ended in a hurry, and everyone went back to the room to rest with a solemn face.
The next morning, before dawn, Xiao Moke and Xiao Yao were woken up by the fierce quarrel, and hurriedly came to the hall of the guard, only to see Li Anzheng arguing with a big fat man.
"Lord Lin, this group of water thieves burned, killed, and plundered, and did all kinds of evil, they should be punished in public and beheaded immediately, so as to set an example and return justice to the people of Jiangzhou!" Ang Lee clenched his fists and suppressed his anger.
"You're just a captain, I'm the Taishou! Your duty is to catch the prisoners, and it is my duty to judge the prisoners, and I will bring them back to the yamen for a slow examination!" "Mrs. Lin is full of officialdom, what a big official, because he is here to save people!
"Hehe, this should be Lin Taishou, it's coming so fast! It seems that these water thieves can't die, Lord Xiao, your injuries are vain. Xiao Yao sneered and said to Xiao Moke.
Xiao Wuhua also saw the strangeness in this, took Xiao Moke's hand and said, "Daddy, you can't let these people get away with it!" We almost died at their hands, do you still watch this corrupt official take people away and let them go! β
Xiao Moke also felt full of anger, so he stepped forward and said: "Presumably, this is Lord Lin of Xunyang County, and this official is Xiao Moke, the Taishou of Bashan, yesterday this group of water thieves attacked my official ship, and they wanted to assassinate me, committing such a big crime, I hope Lord Lin can correct them on the spot and behead them to show the public!" β
"Oh, Bashan Taishou, I've seen Lord Xiao, I'm Xunyang County Taishou, let's not say that this is not your jurisdiction, and even if you want to sentence the prisoner to death, you have to go through a court trial before you can be sentenced!" Lin Taishou didn't give Xiao Moke face at all.
Last night, the Julong Gang sent tens of thousands of taels of silver to themselves, and today they must save these people, besides, their father-in-law is still the Jiangzhou Thorn History, and there are still people in the court, will you be afraid of a Bashan Taishou?
"You, I think you want to take it back and let it go privately!" Xiao Moke was very angry, but found that he could not refute it.
"This officer is acting according to the law! Lord Xiao has no certificate and no evidence, don't wronged the official indiscriminately, otherwise I will sue the court! Lin Taishou had a tough attitude, turned his head and continued to say to Li An: "Captain Li, don't hand over the prisoners quickly, I have to rush back to the Yamen!" β
"My lord, please forgive me for my humble duties! The Julong Gang has been dominating Poyang Lake for several years, killing countless people, and it is necessary to correct the law on the spot to comfort the souls of the deceased in the sky! "Ang Lee still refuses!
"Ang Li, as an official of the imperial court, do you want to know the law and break the law, and disobey orders? No, you don't have to do it today! "Lin Taishou is really an official who crushed people to death!
The scene fell into a stalemate, and Xiao Yao, who was watching the excitement on the side, suddenly spoke: "That's right, Brother Li should listen to Lin Taishou's words and escort the prisoner to the yamen for trial!" To be fair, the decision on how to deal with the prisoners can only be decided after a trial, and it would be a bit inconsistent with the law to bring them to justice here. β
