Chapter 61: Sent to the Provincial City
There was a mess everywhere, everyone blocked the front of the road, and the obstruction soldiers would take people away, Yang Lin patiently explained, and finally was forced to kneel down and plead for mercy, hoping that everyone would not mess around to increase their sins.
After hearing that Yang Lin was arrested and loaded into the prison car, Fan Daiyun was disillusioned, and she had to take care of her peers no matter what.
Yang Lin couldn't bear it in his heart, and claimed that it was a long way to go to CD Mansion for more than 600 miles, and it was inconvenient for men and women to go together, but no matter what, the other party was resolute.
Along the way, people kept coming to see each other, and those who knew more did not know.
Some people shouted that it was because they offended corrupt officials and provoked revenge, and in previous years, the land tax was several times the quota of the imperial court, but last year Yang Lin forced the government to comply with the imperial court quota.
Some people recite how Yang Lin captured the leader of the local tyrants, how he attacked the ancient city, how he fought the officials bravely, and how he kept the people safe.
Sitting in the prisoner car and letting the prisoner car bump, Yang Lin felt disheartened and didn't think about tea and dinner.
He was bent on saving the country and trying to turn the tide to avoid a repeat of the tragedy, but in less than a year, he experienced two prison sentences.
Stop-and-go, there are bluestone paving in some places on the official road, but most of them are rammed earth, which is no different from the country roads in the past.
The road is full of potholes, and the most painful thing is that the prisoner car has no shock absorption device at all, and as the road is uneven and swaying from side to side, people can't stand on the prisoner car at all, and their bodies turn green in many places throughout the day.
On a sunny day, it was dusty, and the horses next to him ran past and raised clouds of dust, which caused people to quickly cover their noses and eyes with their hands.
The rainy day was even more difficult, the wheels got bogged down in the mud, the officials had to break the shackles, and everyone walked hard behind the carriage.
After more than ten days before and after, the whole person almost lost weight, and Fang rushed to the provincial capital CD Mansion on April 20 and entered from the Chunhui Gate in the east.
The roads in the city were much wider, about ten zhang wide, and the ground was paved with bluestones, and more importantly, the prisoner carts were not as bumpy as they used to be.
There are two or three small wooden buildings on both sides of the road, but they are very low, and they are generally used as shops below, people on top, and processing places behind the shops.
There are many shops in a row, and there are all kinds of shops, the most magnificent ones are money houses, pawn shops, silk houses, etc., and there are many other grocery stores, blacksmith shops, carpenter shops, grain stores, and drug stores.
Many people wore satin robes, some wore cloth clothes, and some poor people were dressed in tatters, but the number was small, and it seemed quite incongruous on the whole street.
The officials shouted loudly in front of them to open the way, and when they heard that there was an official in the prisoner's car, everyone talked about it, and some people spoke badly to each other that it was a corrupt official who exploited the people, and some even threw sundries into the car.
Wu Dazhu blocked the debris thrown by everyone again and again, it was okay not to block it, but once he blocked it, he aroused everyone's enemies, and the dirty things were thrown over one after another, and he couldn't stop it at all.
Seeing that Wu Dazhu was dirty, Yang Lin sighed and said: "Green hats, green clothes, slanting wind and drizzle don't need to return."
Everyone regards me as a corrupt official who has brought disaster to the country and the people, you, don't be busy, this bit of stolen goods is difficult for me. ”
Wu Dazhu didn't listen at all, while Yang Lin shouted loudly in the prisoner car, and just at the moment of the stalemate, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy rushed over and scolded: "Shameless dog officer, I really don't know whether to live or die."
If a corrupt and bribed-taking official like you was definitely stripped of daylilies during the Taizu period, you, a dog official, were still breaking the jar in public, as if you were very innocent, and you were not afraid of what others threw at you. ”
Turned his head and looked at this young man, he was very thin, his face was relatively white, and he was also very good-looking, and he vaguely felt that he lacked a little masculinity.
After the economy developed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the wealthy liked men, just like Ximen Qing in "Golden Vase Plum" was one of the masters, and it seems that this good son is the same.
was about to refute, but Wu Dazhu next to him couldn't stand it and scolded loudly: "You bastard thing said that? Is my lord the shameless man you call him?
My family master was a fifteen-year-old Chinese talent, became a tribute student at the age of eighteen, led the villagers to capture Yao Huang bandit at the age of nineteen, and led his troops to attack the ancient city of Yunshan, one of the four and eight pillars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and offered advice to recover Pengzhou in one fell swoop.
My lord punished corrupt officials and corrupt officials, opposed apportionment and offended corrupt officials, and is now slandered by corrupt officials and escorted to the provincial capital.
In Shunqing Mansion, all the villages along the way sent food Song wore loudly for my lord to complain about grievances, passing by Tongchuan Prefecture Many scholars also came to send each other, how did they get to the provincial capital so unreasonable, everyone actually sluts? ”
Jia Gongzi was counted down, and the whole person looked puzzled, shook his head and said: "How old did you say this dog official attacked what ancient city?" ”
Wu Dazhu heard the arguments again and again, but he was not good at words, and now he has to face these sharp people in big cities, and he fell into the opponent's words just after his defense, and the group was very embarrassed.
Yang Lin was disheartened, and he didn't care about everyone's ridicule, he just sneered in the prisoner car and didn't defend himself.
Jia Gongzi was quite annoyed, and some scolded: "Etiquette, righteousness and shame, people are always in harmony, I can't imagine that you, a dog official, broke the jar and broke it, and you didn't want to repent in this hall, which is very hateful." ”
Seeing this, everyone also shouted and cursed, and some were even ready to beat people.
Seeing this, the escort tolerance stood in front of him, and persuaded him repeatedly: "Lord Yang, you are a hero, the villagers have misunderstood, you always have to talk about one or two, if you are beaten in broad daylight, we can't get rid of these tolerances." ”
Although he was disheartened, Yang Lin was not so perverted that he wanted to be beaten, and seeing the excitement of the crowd, Fang hugged his fists through the shackles and said: "Fellow villagers, everyone is also a reasonable person, and many of them are local hot-blooded men.
Everyone keeps saying that Yang is a corrupt official, and some want to do the right thing for heaven, so dare you be guilty of it, may I ask you, what crime did you commit in the future? ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, probably old and well-informed, and an old man hugged his fists and said, "Dare to ask this official, tell me, what crime have you committed?" ”
Yang Lin sighed and said: "Fellow villagers, in fact, I don't know what kind of decree I have committed in the Ming Dynasty to encounter such a catastrophe, and I don't hide it from everyone, since I went out of the mountain in April last year to assist the local squires in encircling and suppressing the local tyrants, this is the second time I have committed a lawsuit."
Last time, he was sentenced to be in the army, but the governor thought that talents were rare, and he wanted to help exterminate the local tyrants, so he was released.
In the next dedication, to assist the governor Chen Shiqi Chen, Daotai Long Wenguang Long expelled the local tyrant from Pengzhou, because of the merit of a Bai Ding was appointed as the Pengzhou magistrate, Pengzhou guarded thousands of households, but who knew that in less than three or five months, he actually offended the officials and was flailed to the provincial capital.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about it, I assisted the government in expelling the local rioters and helped the government to calm the hearts of the local people. ”
Everyone shook their heads again and again, puzzled, but some thought it was a lie. Although the government is corrupt, it is very rare to wronged good people.
Everyone didn't believe it, and asked the head of the escort team again and again.
The team leader was afraid of causing trouble, and he also wanted to get out, so he said again: "Fellow villagers, you have misunderstood Master Yang, what Master Yang said is the truth, he is definitely not a corrupt official."
Master Yang was originally born in the election of tribute, and he was unbearable for the local tyrants to plague the township, and even more unbearable for the government to levy and expropriate violently, so he trained soldiers in the township and defeated the local tyrants many times.
Last year, when the imperial court quelled the Pengzhou Rebellion, he was the first in the post-war speech, and was promoted to the head of Pengzhou Shouyu by Governor Chen and Daotai Long.
In order to get rid of the disadvantages of officialdom, adults oppose the tyranny of expropriation to reduce the burden of the poor people, Pengzhou used to receive 3 buckets per mu of land endowment, and adults took the lead in reducing it to 1 bucket last year.
Folks, adults are good people, not corrupt officials. ”
Everyone didn't believe it, and this son, who claimed to be surnamed He, said bluntly, if what the other party said was true, the court should be reused, why did he go to prison today and suffer from prison? But after this explanation, he no longer threw anything into the prison cart.
After crossing several avenues, about five or six miles of road, he arrived at the Yamen of the Inspectorate, and the prisoner car opened and Yang Lin was released.
He Gongzi kept saying loudly, how could such a ridiculous thing happen, standing far away and refusing to leave, saying that he would not leave until the court heard clearly.
Yang Lin didn't bother to pay attention to it, sorting out his thoughts and waiting for trial.
