Zhao Da and Zhao Si were originally miscellaneous households in Fuzhou City.

The so-called miscellaneous households, originally a kind of household registration system created from the Northern Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, its status was lower than that of commoners, higher than that of slaves, including subordinate households, military households, government households, camp households, other households, Yaluo households, fine cocoon households, Luo Xuan households, prison households, Buddha households, temple households, etc.

"Old Tang Dynasty Book: Official Chronicles": "(Official slaves and maids) are exempted from being a fan household, and then exempted from miscellaneous households, and three are exempted from being a good person." "Tang Law Shu Yi" volume 12: "Miscellaneous households, the previous generation of crimes did not have officials, scattered with the division driven, also attached to the state and county households, and assigned different white dings." ”

In the Song Dynasty, miscellaneous households refer to the families of criminals whose citizenship has been amnesty, and after encountering amnesty, they cannot move back to their original hometowns, and second, they cannot settle down and become good citizens, so they can only live together in the city, cannot study, cannot take examinations, cannot engage in high-class industries, and can only be idle people who make a living from the low.

And what Zhao Da and Zhao Si are doing now is to contract and transfer the sewage from the homes of residents in the east of Fuzhou City.

Early in the morning, the two brothers pushed the dung truck and were about to go out to make a living, but the younger brother Zhao Si accidentally saw a black cloth bag hanging on the handle of the car.

Although the brothers are both surnamed Zhao, and their ancestors are also members of the Zhao family, they are now lowly miscellaneous households, but they have long been illiterate, and they are both looking at the silver judgment and yellow paper with straight eyes. As soon as the two brothers summed up, they simply stopped the dung truck, closed the door and put away the silver judgment, and went to the City God Temple with yellow paper.

Along the way, the brothers were also worried in their hearts, thinking for a while if others were unintentionally lost when they were living yesterday, and then thinking that it was the ancestors who quietly came to help, and even the eldest brother Zhao Da was worried that it was a thief who framed him and wanted to put the brothers to death. However, his younger brother Zhao Si quietly laughed and said: "Big brother, don't panic, in this Fuzhou city, I'm afraid that no one knows that our ancestors are from the concubine of King Qin Kanghui, how can we do harm?" ”

Zhao Da still held the yellow paper tightly, shook his head as he walked, and said: "It is said that you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the heart of preventing others." Who gave you ten taels of silver for no reason? ”

Zhao Si sneered and said with a smile: "Big brother, are you still afraid that someone will take us back to the inner court?" ”

Zhao Da trembled all over his body when he heard this, so he reached out and punched his younger brother hard, and hurriedly pulled him away.

The city god temple in this Fuzhou city is also in the east of the city, the temple is a grass market in front of the temple, there are many fortune tellers, the gentleman who writes the documents set up a stall here, when the two brothers came to the city god temple, they found that today's grass market opened early, and the sun has not passed three poles. I saw that many empty-handed idlers were already wandering around the city, but it was also bustling and lively.

The two brothers did not hesitate, so they went to find an old boy who used to write documents on his behalf, but when they came closer, they saw that his stall was also lively, and there were several people lined up.

When a boy saw the brothers, he came up and said, "But you have come to ask my father to read the letter?" Wait for Sanwen first! ”

You can buy a small cooking cake or a boiled egg for three dollars, but it's not much. Zhao Da hurriedly took out his purse and lined up with him. But gradually, he was asked to see the clues. It was the first few who were waiting to read the letter, and the letter paper in their hands seemed to be all yellow paper, and finally it was his brother's turn, and he saw the old boy stretching out his hand to brush his beard, and he drew a stroke on a white character on the stall, but it was a straight word. And I'm afraid that more than a dozen orthography has already been written on the paper.

"Bring it!" Lao Tongsheng didn't talk nonsense, so he stretched out his hand to ask for it, Zhao Da hurriedly presented the folded yellow paper, and Lao Tongsheng opened it and said: "Come here with your ears!" ”

Zhao Da chuckled in his heart, but he also honestly leaned his ears over. I heard the old boy whisper to him: "This is the official killing prophecy issued by the heroes of the Heavenly Dao League, saying: The ghost door is open on the fifteenth day of July, and the judge has sent a messenger again. The retribution of thunder and fire is coming, and this disaster is removed in Fuzhou City! For the sake of heaven, kill Chen Zhong! Last night, there were already 100 families in the east of the city who got the money and this prophecy scattered by the heroes of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, so you brothers should do it for themselves! ”

After speaking, Lao Tongsheng put a ball of yellow paper in his hand, stuffed it into a stove for making tea next to the stall, and then smiled and waved Zhao Da to leave. The brothers walked to the corner and summed up, half happy and half pleased, happy that the ten taels of silver were given by the heroes of the Heavenly Dao League, which was naturally taken from the money of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the two brothers used it for expenses; The consolation is that Chen Zhong, the dog official, has been doing evil for many years, such as today, the heroes of the Dao Alliance are finally going to do the right thing for heaven!

On this day, there were not 500 but 300 people in Fuzhou City who took yellow paper to find people to read like the Zhao family brothers, and all of them were poor families in the east, west and south of the city, so it didn't take half a day to spread the content of the proverb all over the streets and alleys, and even the children on the street didn't know where to learn it, and sang while playing: "The ghost door is open on the fifteenth day of July, and the judge has sent a messenger again." The retribution of thunder and fire is coming, and this disaster is removed in Fuzhou City! ”

There are also a lot of discussions among the foot shops and hotels in the city, and there are even more literate and hyphenation sour Ding Cuoda, who also dares to judge this prophecy.

But said that Chen Zhong was afraid of the black arrow man coming to stab him these days, so he also sat on duty, nested in the home to take a fu, who knew that just after the afternoon of this day, he was about to go to his new aunt's room to take a nap, but was stopped by the panicked long entourage at home.

Hearing such news, Chen Zhong was also furious, and simply did his best to divide the people of the Ding Sect into three ways, and led the messengers all the way to catch and patrol the city to see if he could find out the thieves of the Heavenly Dao Alliance; went directly to the Chenghuang Temple and the grass market, and arrested those who read the proverbs with others; There is another way, but with the Fuzhou garrison borrowed 300 archers to check everywhere, but there are really a lot of people who have got the silver and are still planning how to use it.

Immediately did not inform the prefect of Fuzhou, Chen Zhong was promoted to the court, and sentenced all the more than a dozen arrested clerks to the crime of beleading the public and slandering the officials of the imperial court, and sentenced them to a fine of 30 zhang. At the time of the execution, Chen Zhong felt that the servants executed by the yamen were a little ineffective, so he asked his own family to do the work for him, and he shouted to beat him to death.

These clerks, all of whom were scholars who couldn't pick up their shoulders and couldn't lift their hands, how could they afford to eat thirty spines, and they were knocked unconscious on the spot, and their families went down to find a hospital for treatment, and a few old and frail people couldn't be saved on the spot, so they also returned to the west with a whimper.

This time, Chen Zhong can be regarded as completely detonating the people's anger!

Immediately, the students of several schools and academies in the city gathered when they heard the voice, and after finding the door panel, they were going to carry the corpse to the yamen of Fuzhou Mansion to complain, not to mention that these clerks are all the heels and origins of the city middle school halls and academies, even if they are self-taught, they can at least be called scholars.

If you want to say that you slander the officials of the imperial court, you can bear it, but this person is beaten to death, and the nature of the matter is another matter!
