Chapter 182: "Jiangyang Thief"
Qiu Yu began, it is said that this matter has nothing to do with Yang Huairen, but he never thought that the portrait of the suspect who confessed to the eight-character Hu gave Empress Dowager Gao the opportunity to ask for Ji according to the map. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to Bazi Hu's original confession, the person who pawned him for the Nine Heavens Xuantie claimed to have come to Kaifeng Mansion to participate in the Autumn Festival, and because he ran out of plates on the road, he wanted to sell the heirloom treasure.
Coupled with the dress of a ragged shirt and the tone of his speech, the internal guard judged that this person was a scholar, and it was likely that he was among the students who participated in the autumn examination.
On this day, in the two examination rooms of Guozijian and Taixue, the forbidden army guarding Long Wuwei, wearing Fan Yang hats, waist with horizontal knives, and holding tassel guns, surrounded the two examination rooms tightly.
There is only one door open in each examination room, for the students who take the exam to enter and exit, and there are many relatives of the students who participated in the examination outside the door, everyone is anxiously waiting, hoping that their own family can make a move, so that the lintel will shine.
Outside the corner, there are stalls selling snacks and various drinks, and the vendors have smiling faces on their faces, and it seems that business is much better than usual.
Seeing that there was still half an hour before the autumn test was about to end, the hawkers were busy preparing to make a fortune, and a team of officers and soldiers from the Five Cities Terracotta Division and a team from Kaifeng Mansion surrounded the exit.
The public began to drive away the people and hawkers gathered at the door, and then in groups of two, they divided into more than ten groups to guard the exit of the examination room, and each group opened a portrait of a person who was arrested for theft, waiting for the end of the examination.
Soon after the bangzi rang at the end of the autumn exam, groups of students poured out of the gate, some elated, some sad, talking about the content of the test questions or debating whether the answers were correct or not.
When I walked to the door, I saw that many officers and soldiers had come to the entrance of the examination hall, and they divided the door into more than a dozen exits for only one person to enter and exit, as if they wanted to check something.
A marquis wearing a hood stood up and read aloud: "Today, there are Jiangyang thieves who have mixed into the students participating in the examination, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities have been specially dispatched to arrest the murderer according to the map. ”
The students understood that there was a Jiangyang thief who had infiltrated the students, so the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had to block the entrance of the test institute to check the identities of the students one by one.
Who are these students? The status of scholars in the Great Song Dynasty is not comparable to ordinary people, how can it be so easy for a group of rough men to check? Even if there are really chickens and dogs and thieves who get in, there is no reason for all the students to accept such an unreasonable inspection.
I don't know who among the students took the lead, and the crowd began to clamor loudly for such an insulting behavior.
Although the officers and soldiers and the catchers blocked their way, they didn't dare to really do anything to these precious scholars, and it was not until several old scholars from Guozijian and Taixue stood up to appease everyone that the students were willing to accept the inspection.
This examination is also interesting, the portrait of the Jiangyang thief, after many copies of the Jiang Yang thief, has been very different from the original manuscript, and the image of the same person in the hands of more than a dozen groups of officers and soldiers is very different.
Of course, the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division and the Kaifeng Mansion have also encountered this kind of thing before, according to past experience, as long as the face shape is roughly consistent, and the facial features are one match, they can be characterized as suspects.
If you really check all the facial features drawn on the image, let alone from these students who took the autumn exam, even if you search all over Tokyo, you really can't find a few.
Bazi Hu can describe such an ugly and unreasonable villain, and it is not ordinary imagination.
In this era, the rule of law is like this, and the means of investigation are simple, and there is no way to do it, and now there is a popular disguise technique in the rivers and lakes, so their purpose in checking and arresting suspects is to rather catch mistakes than let them go.
Therefore, as long as the difference in face shape is not very large, or there is a beard, or there is a big black mole on the nose, or there is a scar on the face, or the eyes are narrowed into a line, they are invited to the other side and surrounded by officers and soldiers.
No man shall be disguised, and no sea shall be measured. But today's farce is just about looks.
Those who can eat with their faces are only glanced at by the officers and soldiers who inspect them, and then let them go, while those who are ugly have to be carefully examined, compared with the image many times, and if they have the slightest suspicion, they are taken out of the crowd.
Li Bangyan is the one who eats with his face, and on a late autumn day, he still walks in front of the officers and soldiers with a silver folding fan in his hand, with a confident smile on his face.
After a blink of an eye, he heard the officer and soldier say, "You can go, next!" ”
And Zong Ze, who has a mighty appearance and a big temper, is unlucky. Originally, in addition to his big face, Zong Ze's facial features were quite square, and he was far from the appearance of the thief in the portrait.
It's a pity that he has a fierce temperament, the officer and soldier who checked him were unruly, and he touched a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and put them in his arms, Zong Ze stopped doing it, and in front of everyone, he loudly reprimanded the officer and soldier for stealing his silver taels.
The money-greedy officer and soldier didn't admit it, and the two of them pushed and shoved it like this, and the result was that Zong Ze was also taken out of the crowd and sent to the pile of ugly people of the suspect.
Lin Chong and Lu Jinyi, who came to pick up their uncle, originally thought that after Zong Ze participated in the autumn test, he would go to Suiyuan to sell a few pots of wine, and then bring a few catties of beef back to celebrate.
But they waited in the periphery for a long time, but they didn't see their uncle come out for a long time, and when they saw Zong Ze being taken away by the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, it was too late for them to go up and persuade them.
Lin Chong has already been the head of the forbidden army, although he is not very old, his martial arts are still admired by the sergeants who are older than him, so he has made a lot of friends in the forbidden army, and there are many acquaintances among the Long Wuwei who are on duty today.
The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division arrested Jiang Yang's thief, but arrested Zong Ze as a suspect, Lin Chong felt that this must be a misunderstanding, so he found a forbidden army commander on duty, and wanted to go to the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to talk about Xiang.
But Lin Chong didn't know that the three divisions of military and horse in Tokyo at that time did not deal with each other very much, although the Ma Military Division, the Infantry Military Division and the Soldier and Horse Division were all official offices in charge of guarding in the capital, although their responsibilities were different, but their actual powers were similar, but they were under the jurisdiction of different departments.
There have always been constant disputes between the three yamen over their respective jurisdictions and interests, and there are not a few cases of subordinate officers and soldiers fighting fiercely in private.
Lin Chong is the head of the Infantry Division, and the head of the Soldiers and Horses Division saw that it was the head of the Infantry Division, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and only said that he was doing things according to the rules, so he sent him away.
This can make Lin Chong anxious, Uncle Shi was wronged as a Jiangyang thief for no reason, how can this be good?
