Chapter Ninety-Seven: Arrest
The dark and dreary night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars. The street is like a calm river, winding in the thick shadows of the trees, only the leaves rustling by the wind and rain, as if recalling the bustle and busyness of the day, and the mirror-like moon hangs in the sky, composing the silver light.
In the distance, two fire dragons rushed to shatter the quiet impact of the night, and the firelight illuminated the night like day, Wang Ji turned over and dismounted, stood on the street, and looked around at the surrounding shops.
The land of Qilu in the southeast is heavy on profit and light on righteousness, so Qilu commercial handicraft industry is extremely developed, and the government is very popular, because of its customs, simple etiquette, trade and industry, the benefits of fish and salt, and the people are more together, and they are all big countries.
The development of Qilu's commerce depends on the convenience of transportation, Qilu is easy to be weak and die with self-discipline, and it is enough to strengthen itself and gather things by attacking people, and it is possible to be attacked on three sides, and it is not easy to defend; Moreover, the low mountains and hills of Qilu are only a few hundred miles in radius, lacking depth, and as soon as several dangers are breached, the whole territory may be penetrated, and commercial convenience is also illuminated as military vulnerability.
Thinking of this, Wang Ji rolled up his sleeves, glanced back at Yang Ke, Liu Wei, He Jian and others, and nodded to signal that they could start acting.
Receiving Wang Ji's instructions, Liu Wei immediately dispatched soldiers to begin to solicit people according to the list
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Liu Wei urged loudly: "Zhongcheng has a life, and if there is a traitor who wants to do something wrong, he orders the official to press the bullets in Linzi Lu to prevent chaos!" ”
Wang Ji raised his eyes and looked at the southeastern ministers and doctors who were lying on the wall, hiding in the mansion, trembling and trembling.
Wang Ji laughed.
Since ancient times, killing has been the most effective means of deterrence.
And what Wang Ji has to do tonight is to kill.
Bloody killings!
Killing without mercy and without leaving room for error! Completely calm the grievances of the people in the southeast, suppress the arrogance of the southeastern scholars, and let the nobles and officials in the southeast understand that the Han family will be rewarded for their merits and punished for their mistakes!!
Yang Ke, He Jian, Liu Wei and others stood on the left and right of Wang Ji, and kept giving orders to the soldiers, dragging Haoqiang out of the closed gate one by one and putting them in front of Wang Ji.
The cries and pleadings, and the shouts and curses of the soldiers, the number of arrests is increasing.
The officials of the Imperial History Yamen sent the prisoners to the prison in batches to wait for tomorrow's trial.
Wang Ji looked at the messy scene in front of him with a calm face, when the prisoners arrived in front of him, there was an endless stream of beggers and scolders, Wang Ji was unmoved, just kept calm and carefully checked the list.
Before Wang Ji became a doctor, he was a prisoner in Changyi, and the future of the prison officer depends on his reputation in every case, and it is in his interest to obtain a fair reputation.
In the environment in which the prison officials of the Han Dynasty lived, they supervised each other from top to bottom, regarded harshness as a clear inspection, and called "justice" to the extreme, and dealt with things peacefully. Driven by the pursuit of profit maximization, the best strategy for jailers is to treat the suspects in each case extremely harshly, and use punishment to make them quickly confess their crimes.
In the past few years, Wang Ji's career in prison has gradually changed Wang Ji's perception of aristocratic officials, and also made Wang Ji understand how naïve the sage Confucius was to convince people with virtue.
The footsteps of people are passed on, in virtue, not in place; The world believes that it can be done, not what it can say.
Wang Ji himself asked Mr. Dong Yue, what is a gentleman? ?
The gentleman replied: Zi said: The gentleman has nothing to fight. Will shoot too! Let it go up, go down and drink, and its contention is also a gentleman.
To be a man, to be respectful to the superiors and not arrogant to the subordinates, is a courtesy.
To do things, the big is not confused, the small is not careful, it is for wisdom.
For profit, you can take six points, but only four points, for righteousness.
Discipline, guarding oneself like a lotus, fragrant and clear, is incorruptible.
To people, the inside and the outside are the same, sincere and sincere, is for the faith.
Cultivating the mind, excellent for gathering spirits, respecting heaven and loving people, is for benevolence.
"I will be infamous for being unkind and unrighteous today! But if this gang is not eliminated, there will be no peace in the country!! Wang Ji muttered to himself.
The county soldiers are still carrying out arrest operations, and the powerful people in the entire Linzi City have all withered in this storm, and none of them have been spared.
Zhao Chongguo took Bingji to fight the honor guard of Jinwu, and the momentum was moving forward slowly, and Liu Zhao quoted "Han Officials" in the "Continuation of the Book of Han and Hundred Officials": There are 200 people in Jinwu Tiqi, 520 people with halberds, and the public opinion is obedient and obedient, and the road is full of light, and among the bureaucrats, he is expected to be strong.
Zhao Chongguo only fought three times for this large number of honor guards, the first time was when he left Chang'an, because of the official system. The second time was when he had just entered Linzi City, and he had to suppress people with momentum and let the southeastern officials listen to his dispatch. The third time is now, just trying to slow down my own pace.
After receiving the news that the powerful people in Linzi City were arrested, Bingji immediately came to his front and accused Wang Ji of abusing the criminal law and ordering the arrest without evidence.
Hearing Bingji's accusation, Zhao Chongguo pretended to be surprised, saying that he didn't know Wang Ji's actions at all, and only knew that Wang Ji wrote in the Jinwu Yamen in the afternoon, asking for the transfer of manpower to protect him, so he transferred Liu Wei, the lieutenant of Qi County, to Wang Ji for use, and he didn't know anything else.
Seeing this, Bingji didn't dare to be angry, so he had to ask Zhao Chongguo to stop Wang Ji's actions together, so as to think about it in the long run.
Zhao Chongguo sat leisurely in the carriage, looking out the window to enjoy the glory brought by the honor guard, Bingji saw this scene, and immediately sarcastically said: "Zhijinwu is really magnificent, even if the prime minister is in Chang'an, he is not as good as you!! ”
Zhao Chongguo heard Bingji's ridicule, but he didn't take it to heart, but said lightly: "The liver is the main fire, I see that Binggong's fire is so strong, the liver must be bad, and it must be carefully regulated!" Besides, the etiquette of Jinwu is determined by the temple etiquette, and Zhao has no trespassing, where does it come from? Make the handsome teacher go, please Cheng also, the golden seal purple ribbon, the assistant of the Son of Heaven Wan Ji, is also comparable to Zhao!! Therefore, Binggong still needs self-respect when he speaks!! ”
Bingji heard Zhao Chongguo's verbal counterattack, and became even more angry, but he couldn't find the words to fight back for a while, so he had to keep silent and shift his gaze elsewhere.
Zhao Chongguo saw Bingji's reflection, and he was happy in his heart, but he didn't chase after the victory, and continued to squeeze Bingji with words, but closed his eyes and recuperated, and the carriage fell silent for a while.
The convoy continued unhurriedly towards its destination............
