Volume 2 Chapter 201 Banquet and Deliberation (1)

The banquet hall is a slaughter, the entire banquet lake, at this time is tense, the banquet lake is not very peaceful recently, the mastermind behind the scenes actually designed to besiege and kill Jincha, it can be said that the guest and the host are in different places, indicating that the situation is very critical, Li Dongming untied his sword, hung his hands and stood, the lord of Yanhu City in front of him Yan Chen, his face was solemn.

Li Dongming caught a glimpse of the city lord with a contemptuous face, which was very different from the gentle and obedient appearance of the usual, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

The spirit of the banquet is strong, although it looks like he is in his thirties, in fact, he is nearly fifty years old, he is the master of the banquet family, he has his own momentum, he has been in power for decades, and he has already practiced the ability to change without being surprised, but at this time, he glanced at Li Dongming with a blue face, forced the strong uneasiness in his heart, and asked: "Dongming, you tell me in detail about the situation of the banquet lake in the past few days, and listen to it alone." ”

The gentleman is lonely and widowed. - "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period: Jun Shou". It is all called by Renjun, and Yanhu is now also the Marquis of Hejian.

Li Dongming collected his thoughts, and replied: "In the past few days, there have been six looting cases against business travelers on the official road in the west of the city, among them, three teams of merchants, namely Xuecheng Changfeng Firm, Shanting Gu Xiao Merchant and Zaoyang a grocery store, after a preliminary understanding, they all have normal contacts with Yanhu, the departure itinerary is not regular, and the trading materials are not grain and salt, although the grocery store in Zaoyang wants to enter the salt, it is only the goods of the Winter Festival, each caravan only killed one person, injured several people, and asked below, these three teams of merchants said, The other party's martial arts are strong, they come and go silently, they had the opportunity to kill them all, but they didn't, it can be guessed that on the line of business, the gangsters do not have a specific goal, and they are suspected of creating panic. ”

Yan Chen sneered and was silent, Li Dongming groaned slightly, and said: "There are also two Xiucai and a couple living on the side of the official road, the two Xiucai heard that Lu Congniang was in Yanhu, and wanted to come to see Fangrong, but they were all robbed on the road, and none of the maids in their entourage were spared, and there were four people who were humiliated, including a good-looking Xiucai, who were not dead. But the husband and wife who lived by the official road were both killed, and the woman was humiliated, which should be the place where the gangsters stayed. ”

Yan Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "That's all?" ”

Li Dongming continued: "There are still six homeless people who have been robbed and two have died, and there should be some who have not been reported. ”

"What about last night? actually let the small county lord get into danger, do you have no one in the brocade bureau? Yan Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Kneeling in the river, Li Dongming's face was embarrassed, and he replied: "Recently, there have been a lot of cases in the official road in the west of the city, and there are only thirty-six Jincha in the Jin Bureau, all of whom have been sent out, and only a few people are on duty, and last night's incident was reported by Zhuang Ding as a tragedy, and an autopsy was needed, but I didn't expect it to be a trap of the gangsters, and I ...... it."

Yan Chen turned his head to look at the other side: "The Jinju system is crude, why do all the people in the city government eat dry rice?" ”

Yan Chengtie's face was blue, his lips were pursed into a line, and Zhang Dong, who was under the jurisdiction of Yanhu next to him, was stunned, and saw that his own official did not reply, so he stepped forward and said: "These cases are all outside the city, and they are big cases of wounding and dying, and they are all under the jurisdiction of the Jin Bureau according to the regulations."

, our city government ......"

Yan Yan said unhappily: "This is a man who has been a businessman for two years to go home to see his daughter-in-law, and he died of drought and waterlogging?" ”

At that time, the Jin Bureau was set up, and a part of the power was stripped from the city government to deal with some difficult cases, and there were differences in the jurisdiction of the two. Although Zhang Dong is talking about the rules, it obviously means to neglect the government.

Yan Cheng came out and said: "What Zhang Tizhi said is that our city government is also powerful and has nowhere to go, the Jin Bureau handles the case, and no one else is allowed to interfere, the case sometimes drags on too long, even if we are sent to follow up in the follow-up, it is all wrong, how to handle the case?" And the case outside the city does not belong to our city government, this reporter does not come to the city government to knock on the door, we really don't know what happened last night, if we know, how can we let Su'er go to the autopsy late at night? "This Yan Cheng is a branch of the Yan family, outside the five suits, and has been changed to the surname Yan, but he is the same generation as Yan Chen, and Yan Su'er will also call her uncle when she sees her.

I don't know how many times the city government has said similar words, which naturally involves some sensitive issues, in the Kunpeng Ming era of lack of food and clothing, cannibalism, Dongyu in the Western Tang Dynasty and even Jiumu in the world are just the nominal masters, the people after decades of fleeing the famine, rarely migrate, because they find that all places are the same, in order to survive, they will snatch the corpses, the displaced people have become the most vulnerable group of people, and even different villages attack each other, the official government is also unable to manage, so the people began to form a village, That is, to submit to certain strongmen, build a village to protect themselves, and seek refuge.

As the weather improved, the Mu Shoudai became the agent of Jiumu, they began to govern these villages, and also appointed their relatives and friends to take over these estates, in order to take over these estates, they naturally had to fight with those strong people, and the courage to fight became the theme of that era, the lords with family backgrounds and the owners of the farms who survived in the suffering became inseparable opponents, and the rivers in the land of the projectile fought endlessly, in the rivers, most of them were plains, once the climate improved, the water quality improved, and the agricultural recovery was very fast, This kind of struggle has also become a vicious battle for each to expand its sphere of influence.

The manor system was a system of integration of military and government, in which the owners of each large and small estates were not only the highest local administrator but also the highest military governor, and each had a different number of troops. Commonly known as "Zhuang Bing".

With the rise of Yanhuang, the owners who felt the threat began to unite, and the Huaxia Alliance was initially established, in the case of foreign enemies, the Chinese people were the people who had been farming since ancient times, and they were not willing to really eat people, as long as they could eat enough, they were not willing to be eaten by the Hu people who "only ate people", so the Mu Shoudai was able to temporarily unite the military forces of the states, whether it was the lords or the owners, they all put aside their grievances and tried their best to be external.

In this way, the owners were also given the means to legitimize, and they gradually gained legitimate power through military exploits, and the lords and owners gradually merged and became a force to be reckoned with, but the tradition of division between the rivers was preserved. In the Sorkin era, Sorkin's castle features were added, and these

The manor was self-sufficient, only needed to pay the prescribed grain, and the lords gradually moved closer to the feudal lords and became the armed landlords who ruled a large territory, and the military conflicts and grievances between them were even more wonderful, and the world called it the "Great Spring and Autumn Period".

With the increasing aggravation of annexation and annexation, in order to maintain their inherent territory and military strength, the descendants of the lord's heirs will be renamed and deprived of their inheritance rights, thus forming kinships, Yan Cheng and Yan Quan are such relatives, they will be hired by the lord in the form of officials, or work in the city government, or serve in the army, and the probability of promotion is much higher than that of the guest secretary, which has ensured the control of the ruling family over the territory.

In the river, because the lords often conceal the household registration of the lords, the population is difficult to count, so the city with a moat is called a big city, and the city without a moat is called a small city, and then combined with the lord's title, the number of offerings is formulated, which is a unique tax system between the rivers, if the lord wants to pay a small amount of offerings, he will not repair the moat, but the castle is relatively not safe.

Yanhu used to be a big city, the destroyed old city and Xiaoyue Lake are witnesses, but they have declined, and now they live in Yanhu Fort is only the inner city, and there is no moat in the small city, of course, the outer city wall built at this time means that Yanhu Lake has re-entered the ranks of the big city.

Yan Yan is a powerful city lord, Yan Hu has changed from the original small city lord to the city lord with nine cities, and people give him the nickname Yan Jiucheng.

With the expansion of Yanhu's sphere of influence, according to the ancient system, the lords will generally divide their heirs or relatives to manage the incorporated castles, but Yanchen is not willing to disperse the power of the country, worried that the tail will not fall, this kind of example abounds in the river, many famous families are destroyed by the relatives to seize power, and gradually decline. Therefore, in Yanhu, except for Yan Qu exercising governance in Peicheng, the management of the other eight cities is all outsiders, and the relatives are naturally a little dissatisfied.

Now under the lord system of the river, there is one that will divide each castle and manor to the relatives, and have but no longer have military power, and the other is the feudal small centralized power, and the governing power and military power are owned by the lord of Yanhu City, which is managed by the city chief and officials.

The banquet chose the latter. Although many of them also understand that now the powerful families in Hejian are centralizing power, but then understand that people's hearts are always greedy, not to mention that the banquet family is a family of three hundred years, how many relatives there are, especially the rise of Yanhu is a matter of recent decades, the previous two hundred years were the clan, the family, and the tribe were crowded in a small city to share the hardships, the weak and the small could not enjoy the benefits of the separation, but now they are suddenly strong, and they are not divided, and these people surnamed Yan are naturally unbalanced in their hearts. However, Yan Chen is a master, and some rumors and rumors can't change his mind, and many of the relatives of the Yan family can only gather in the city offices of various cities to do some daily chores.

In the city government, the matter of officials protecting each other also happens from time to time, and the banquet does not understand, so there is the idea of building an independent brocade bureau, and the public security issues related to the people's livelihood are set up on a separate mountain, so as to avoid the city government doing things without restrictions.

But obviously, these people surnamed Yan also seem to understand the idea of feasting, lazy

The phenomenon of politics gradually appeared, especially for the errand of the Jinju, even if the case was handled, he was unwilling to help wholeheartedly.

Yan Chen naturally understands Li Dongming's difficulties, let alone him, even if Ding Zhangqi is in power, he is afraid that there will be so many cases at once, and it is obviously intentional to target Yanhu, even if the people of the Jin Bureau are three heads and six arms, they will not be good.

As the city lord, he has already arranged for the shadow guards to assist, but the city officials around the country have raised hundreds of officials, and at this time, it seems that no one is sitting there watching the play, how can people not be angry?
