Chapter 803: Infiltrating the county office
The tall servant said: "The prince's intention is nothing more than to prevent the goods from leaving the dock, but it will definitely not be possible to grab the dock at the moment." Needless to say, if you seize it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to burn ships and goods. So the little one was thinking that if Zheng Youde's embryo was caught, no one would be able to order the cargo ship to leave. ”
Jiang Quanyi's eyes lit up, "You mean a sneak attack on the yamen?" ”
"Yes. The wharf is only twenty miles away from the Yamen, and at this time most of the people are gathered here, and there is a small guide, it should be possible to rush to the Yamen quietly, and then suddenly attack, the probability is very large...... What does Master Jiang think? ”
Jiang Quanyi was moved, he glanced at the dock in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said, "Just do as you say!" ”
So the group changed direction again and went to the yamen.
Half an hour later, under the guidance of the two yacha, Jiang Quanyi's troops went around to the grove by the yamen and hid themselves.
At this time, Jiang Quanyi's heart was cold, the yamen was also brightly lit, there were at least twenty or thirty people patrolling outside the door, there were almost no dead ends, and there were even more figures inside the door, how could this be attacked?
Jiang Quanyi angrily turned his head and glared at the two yamen, who were talking to each other and whispering.
Jiang Quanyi lowered his voice and scolded: "What are you talking about? Think about what else you can do! ”
The tall servant replied, "The little one has discussed it, and there is still a way." ”
"Say it quickly."
"There are a total of thirty-seven servants in the Yamen of Xiushui County, and these people patrolling outside the gate are not government officials, but the guards of the wealthy merchants in the city.......
Jiang Quanyi said: "Pick up the important thing." ”
"Yes. The small one means that no one in the county government wants to rebel, they are the same as the small ones, they just act according to orders. As long as the little ones go in quietly and tell them the facts, they will definitely be willing to help the adults. ”
Jiang Quanyi frowned and said, "You mean that the two of you sneaked into the yamen and went to say that you would surrender those officials?" ”
"Yes. The younger two have been on errands for more than ten years, and the servants in it are commensurate with the younger ones as brothers, and the little ones can convince them. ”
Jiang Quanyi thought about it and felt that it was still feasible, if it was attacked inside and outside, it would obviously be much more successful.
But Jiang Quanyi was a little puzzled, could these two people be coaxing themselves?
In case they go in and report to Zheng Youde, then they and these hundred soldiers will all be buried in the hands of the two of them.
The tall man was clever, and when he saw Jiang Quanyi's hesitation, he guessed Jiang Quanyi's thoughts.
"Master Jiang rest assured, the two of them are locals, and their families are in the city, and they will never rebel."
This is reasonable, as a local, the family is in the city, and the cost of rebellion is too great, mainly because the benefits obtained are not equal.
Even if the two of them can be rewarded by Zheng Youde, compared to the survival of the family, this will definitely not be worth it.
Because the entire Jiaxing Mansion, together with Suzhou, Changzhou, and Zhenjiang in the north, is the land of the Yixing Dynasty, even if Zheng Youde can occupy Xiushui, I am afraid the outcome is conceivable.
So Jiang Quanyi nodded and said, "Okay." I believe you, how do you get in? ”
The tall official replied, "There is a dog hole in the west wall of the yamen, which can be drilled into with a little digging." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly bowed his hand to Jiang Quanyi and said: "The youngest surname is Liu, his name is Ergen, he is the second in the family, his parents are deceased, he has a wife, and a son. His surname is Li, his name is Xiaozhu, he is a widow for five years, and he has a wife, a son and a daughter...... My lord, if the little ones have an accident today, I hope that the adults will wait for the prince for us...... Ask for a bereavement. ”
Jiang Quanyi was a little moved, and he responded: "Don't worry, as long as this official is still alive, there will be no lot of your rewards...... But you have to come back with all your beards and tails. ”
Next, Jiang Quanyi gave each of them a "Sky Rat" (a kind of fireworks with ringing), and agreed that once he saw the "Sky Mouse" being issued, he would lead his subordinates to launch a surprise attack on the front of the Yamen.
……。
The county government shadow wall is the gate, and the gate is the instrument gate.
Between the gate and the Yimen is the Yongdao, the west side of the Yongdao is the prison cell, and the east side is the house and the Yashen Temple of the third class of the Yamen.
These three classes of officials, the soap squad (bailiff), the fast squad (criminal police), and the strong squad (armed police), were not on duty in the east side of the house at this time.
The entrance to the door is to shine on the wall, and then to enter the main hall, also called the lobby, which is usually said to be the place where the county magistrate tried the case and judged, but since the Ming Dynasty, the lobby is basically for criminal cases, and no longer hears civil cases.
Civil cases are generally in the second court, and there are no longer red signatures for the death penalty in the lottery, they are all black signatures.
Under normal circumstances, Ertang rarely beats people, and most of the civil cases are still persuaded by reason, and only when they meet stubborn people will they be punished.
In fact, in ancient times, it was really humane, especially in the Song and Ming dynasties, and civil rights were already very much like that, so let's put it this way, what can be done in later generations, can also be done at this time, and what can be done at this time, later generations may not be able to do, such as ...... Take a concubine.
Between the instrument gate and the lobby, the east side is the six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and the clerk's room, although the sparrow is small, it is complete, a county office, and the epitome of a court.
The west side is the officials' house, the place where the officials rest for a while, and at this time, the three classes of officials stay in the west side is the officials' house.
These 30 or so people were not detained, but Zheng Youde ordered that they would not be allowed to go home from work, but would stay in the official house and not be allowed to go out.
But naturally no one believes this, at least these thirty or so officials definitely don't believe it.
During the day, the sound of muskets and artillery can be heard even by the deaf.
Zheng Youde explained that Xiushui was attacked by bandits and rebels, and the government gathered all the merchants in the city to defend the city, resulting in a fierce exchange of fire.
He asked the officials to be on duty in the yamen to explain what was needed from time to time, but the officials did not believe it.
In the past two years, who doesn't know who?
But then again, with such a big scene, who wants to take the initiative to go up and die? Projectiles and arrows don't have eyes, they don't have merit, they die first, and who will feed them if they leave orphans and widows?
Therefore, these three classes of officials were left in the officials' houses, but they were also safe, and no one made trouble.
"Hey-I said to sign Third Brother Xu, I heard that Liu Ergen and Li Xiaozhu of your Zhuang class were arrested by bandits who entered the city, will they be killed by thieves?"
"Shut your beak, they won't die if you die. If the thief wants to kill, won't it be over in the city, and it won't save trouble? ”
"By the way, when the injured brothers of the previous Zhuang class were carried back to the hospital, I happened to hear a sentence that one of the thieves called himself our prince...... Jiaxing Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion are only 200 miles away, you say that this gang of thieves is too bold, right? ”
