Chapter 776: Beat it up, beat it again
Yue Fei suddenly squatted down, grabbed a locust, stared at the end of the long abdomen pulled out by the locust, looked at it for a long time, and then stood up and walked a few laps.
"Locusts are laying eggs." Yue Fei threw the locust in his hand to the ground, and then twisted it a few times, and after confirming that the locust could not die anymore, his face was a little painful.
When the locusts in Xiangzhou were raging, he had seen it with his own eyes, he and Zhang Xiaochun said that he was a farmer, not joking, he had seen the terrifying power of locusts, and Xiangzhou, which had no grass and was like a desert, was the locust plague in his memory.
Yue Fei was like a child, constantly twisting the locusts under his feet, like when he was a child, stepping on the light spots of the forest path.
He said with a painful face: "The official once said to me that the mouth of a bureaucrat can pull out a lie when he touches the upper and lower skins of his mouth. ”
"For example, there will be no large-scale poor harvest, no large-scale displacement, no large-scale drought, no floods, no large-scale people's livelihood, no large-scale withering of people's livelihood, it is a sick sentence. Because of poor harvests, displacement, droughts, floods, and the loss of people's livelihoods, they themselves are large-scale. ”
"I didn't understand this sentence before, but now I finally understand it, there will be no large-scale locust plague? The locust plague itself is massive. ”
It is in the nature of bureaucrats to lie, and this is what the official once in a while tells him.
Zhang Xian's face is relatively bad, his official family is too naughty!
Yue Fei is still very young, and for Yue Fei, who regards the words of the officials as treasures, telling him some facts so clearly will accumulate the hatred of the bureaucrats in Yue Fei's heart.
More importantly, is this kind of perception necessary and appropriate, to say to a general manager who led the most elite Hejian army in the Great Song Dynasty?
Some of the official's remarks have always cultivated Yue Fei's intentionally or unintentionally... ambition, which made Zhang Xian shudder.
Could it be that the emperor sitting in Bianjing has already seen the point where the birds are hiding their bows when the world is clear and the sea is clear after a few years?
"Alright, don't step on it. Let's go back to camp, can you finish stepping on it? Yue Fei looked behind him, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he was stepping on locusts, and eight hundred guards were also stepping on him, and hundreds of strong men jumped up and down, which was really not very elegant.
In the words of the official, it means that there is something good at the top, and there must be something bad at the bottom.
Zhao Huan sneezed vigorously, wrapped up the square towel handed over by Zhao Ying, wiped his mouth, and said, "Who is nagging me, it must be Zhao Chengyou scolding me, it must be like this!" ”
Of course, Zhao Huan didn't know Zhang Xian, who was far away in Qingtang, what he thought in his heart, of course he didn't have any kind of imperial way to hide the birds.
He doesn't have such a high comprehension ability, so it is really difficult for him to play this kind of big chess. The reason why he said to Yue Fei those ways of the emperor that he summarized was actually that Zhao Huan could only say these things to Yue Fei.
Only Yue Fei and Zhao Huan are the same age and are in a high position, so they can talk to him directly.
Of course, Zhao Huan remembered the promise he made to the Seed Master Dao at the beginning, to let Yue Fei go to Europa to be the evil taste of the European Emperor, and he always remembered this matter.
"Has Zhao Chengyou entered Beijing? I'm going to ask him. Zhao Huan's impression of Zhao Chengyou stayed on Zong Ze's Zazi and Empress Dowager Meng's description, he always felt that how could there be such a bad person in the world?
When he didn't see him, he was not sure.
"Official, let's still be gone." Zhao Ying said with a little embarrassment.
What makes Zhao Ying even more embarrassed is that the official family has to watch the punishment.
Those classic records of Ling Chiguang's court are enough to make Zhao Ying sick to his stomach, and the official family will watch the punishment when the time comes, and it will be rude on the spot, which is not very elegant.
So Zhao Ying never took the initiative to mention Zhao Chengyou, and even wanted to get away with it, and when Zhao Chengyou died, the official family didn't have to watch it anymore.
It's a pity that the official family always thinks about this person in their hearts.
"Let's go check it out." As soon as Zhao Huan heard Zhao Ying's words, he knew that Zhao Chengyou had been escorted back to Beijing, stood up, and prepared to go to have a look.
When Zhao Huan saw Zhao Chengyou, he never thought that such a bad person would be a little elegant and easy-going in reality, a little rich, and a little kind.
"Meet the official family, the official family is safe." Zhao Chengyou said very generously.
There is no hysteria that Zhao Huan thinks, no madness that Zhao Huan thinks, no begging for mercy that Zhao Huan thinks, and even the etiquette is so thorough that Zhao Ying can't find fault with it.
Zhao Huan instantly thought of a word, that is, aristocratic demeanor. Even if the handcuffs and anklets are there, they can't stop the arrogance of others.
"More than 100,000 people died in the entire Ezhou, and Zong Shaoqing said that you also concealed 56,000 people, but is there such a thing?" Zhao Huan sat on a chair and talked to Da Song, a clan noble, across the fence of the cell.
"Yes. Escaping from the mountain will only kill more, and if you really track it down, 200,000 is more than enough. Zhao Chengyou said with a smile, not impressed at all.
"You used the 36 societies of the 5 prefectures, 18 gangs and 36 societies as thugs in Ezhou, colluded with grain merchants to raise grain prices, and united with wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to resell people, can you have such a thing?" Zhao Huan very much despises Zhao Chengyou's expression of not taking human life seriously.
"Yes. A total profit of more than 20 million yuan, the specific number is not clear. If it weren't for the fact that the clerk told Zong Shaoqing about Ezhou, it would have been more. Zhao Chengyou was a little distressed, as if he was annoyed that his majesty was not strict.
"You made the document into a human being, your hands and feet were cut off, and even your tongue was pulled out, is there such a thing?" The more Zhao Huan asked, the more angry he became, and his voice became a little higher.
"Yes. It's a pity, Zong Shaoqing arrived too early, if it was a day and a half in the evening, I would have found the family members who were hiding in this paperwork. I heard that the clerical daughter is very thoughtful. Zhao Chengyou stretched out his tongue and licked his lower lip, as if to moisten the dry lower lip, as if the daughter was very greedy.
"Empress Dowager Meng was built in Funing Palace by me in order to save you, do you know about this?" Zhao Huan changed his comfortable posture and leaned back in his chair and asked.
Zhao Chengyou shook his head and said, "I know." She was built in the Funing Palace, not because she wanted to save me, but because she used my business as a chessboard. ”
"She united with hundreds of county governors and county governors to put pressure on the official family, and gambled on Wang Yu's honor and disgrace.
"If it is really to save me, you only need a letter to Ezhou, let me go to Lushan to take refuge, if the official family does not forgive, let me go directly to Zhancheng and the country by boat, and I can still survive. She's not here to save me, she's here to seize power. ”
"Actually, if you want me to say, she is still stupid, she will fight for power, and if she makes a bet with Wang Yu, she will be confused. Isn't that forcing the official family to tear their faces? Some people can move, some people can't. ”
Zhao Huan glanced at Zhao Ying, this guy can see clearly.
When Zhao Huan beat the Empress Dowager Meng and returned to the palace, he also had the idea of appeasement, in order to cut gold next year, stabilize the country, and endure it.
Anyway, if there are more lice, don't worry, isn't Genyue Palace also honored to raise the emperor? Raising a queen mother, the Great Song Dynasty is not without those money.
But the first thing Empress Dowager Meng did when she entered Beijing was to take Wang Yu to open the knife, if Zhao Huan didn't completely tear his face, the Great Song Army would be scattered, how could the team be bred?
"I want to cut you with a thousand knives, put you to death, and remove your lineage from the genealogy of your relatives, do you know?" Zhao Huan squinted at Zhao Chengyou and asked.
"Break the bones and connect the tendons, the official family will remove the name of the criminal minister at this time, and after dozens of years of spring and autumn, it will be on the family tree again, after all, we are all surnamed Zhao." Zhao Chengyou blinked, and the corners of his mouth twitched and smiled.
Zhao Huan was a little helpless, what Zhao Chengyou said was not impossible.
Officials and officials protect each other, not to mention the relatives of the clan's bloodline, how can they sit and watch him wander away?
Zhao Chengyou is very difficult, this is Zhao Huan's first feeling, this person is also very smart, but also very bad, and he is not afraid of the wrong things he has done, and he has no bottom line.
This is still alone now, when the roots of Ezhou were intertwined, when Zhao Chengyou's fierce flames were monstrous, what it should look like.
Such a person was crushed to death by Zong Ze's half finger.
It's not a bad thing.
"Give me a beating! When he is cured, he will be beaten again, and so on until the execution begins. Zhao Huan stood up and said to Song Shiqing: "Don't mention the national law to me, this is a family matter, he is a clan relative, how to beat it hurt." ”
"Howler!" Song Shiqing is eager to try, he is upright, and his iron face is selfless.
But the iron mask is selfless and divides people, Zhao Chengyou is a kind of goods, when he comes to his own land, he looks at people with his nostrils, lives in his own prison, doesn't beat him, and keeps him for the New Year?
He heard that the official family was in the palace and wanted to bring two people from death row to the imperial hospital, but was stopped by Hu Yuan with Song Shiqing's iron face and selflessness.
After Song Shiqing learned the details, he shouted that he was wronged, this is a holy grace! Those condemned to death row were desperate for a chance to be pardoned.
Others don't know, how can he, the squire of the Criminal Department, not know how afraid of death are those death row inmates?
Don't look at Zhao Chengyou's tail is still cocked in the sky now, it is supported by the arrogance in his bones, and before the execution, Zhao Chengyou may not know what he will cry like.
Between life and death, there is great terror.
Every time Song Shiqing is beheaded, he can see all kinds of situations in the world, in fact, some people are not guilty to death, but the law is ruthless.
"Official, the minister has a reluctant invitation here, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Song Shiqing said with a little embarrassment.
"If you don't talk about it, don't talk about it." Zhao Huan said with a smile, and behind him was Zhao Chengyou's miserable scream.
Say do it, then do it immediately, and act vigorously.
