Chapter 292: On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds (I)

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in order to better control the people, as long as the city was slightly larger, a curfew would be enforced. As long as www.biquge.info ordinary people who linger outside for no reason after dark, once they are caught by the government, they will be punished - either with a cane, or with a flail, or even thrown into prison.

However, after nearly 200 years of changes, the original law has gradually been abolished, and the curfew is no longer enforced in ordinary cities, and even if there is, it is only superficial, and not many magistrates will use this requirement to rule the people in ordinary times. However, as the capital of a country, Beijing must adhere to this point, except for the Lantern Festival and other festivals that are celebrated by the whole world, and people are not allowed to stay outside at will when it gets dark on other days.

And every day when it gets dark, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will also send a lot of people to patrol the streets, once there are people who come out at night, they will all be taken down as traitors and criminals, and then handed over to the Division for disposal. Of course, sometimes these night patrol soldiers will turn a blind eye, even if they really find someone rushing late at night or something, as long as the other party can give a reasonable explanation, they may not necessarily take someone.

But like today, with so many people gathered on the street, those who patrol the streets have hardly ever seen it, which makes these people from the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division even if they want to release people, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it. The military attache at the head was even more annoyed that he was being looked down upon, so he rebuked him.

When Jing Zhankun heard the rebuke of the military attache over there, his brows furrowed, and he immediately came out of the crowd and stood proudly and said: "This official Shuntianfu pushes the official Jing Zhankun to handle the case here, and which general is on the other side, and come over to talk." Although the voice was not very serious, it had a condescending arrogance.

He does have the ability to be proud, the Ming Dynasty has always paid attention to the noble and the military, and the military is controlled by the civilian, even if it is a civil and military official of the same level, the civil official is more than one head higher than the military attache in terms of status. And the military attache of the Soldiers and Horses Division on the other side, who still patrols the night, must be far inferior to him, a sixth-grade pusher, in terms of rank.

Sure enough, after hearing Jing Zhankun's self-report, the military attache over there screamed, and then quickly rolled off the horse and greeted him with a smile: "It turns out that Jing Tuiguan is handling the case here, and he is reckless in his duties, forgive his sins." The deputy commander of the Xicheng Terracotta Division has seen an adult! As he spoke, he landed on one knee and gave a military salute.

Seeing that he was very respectful after learning his identity, and asked for sin, Jing Zhankun's face softened, and he raised his hand and said, "You get up." ”

"Yes." After Zeng sneaked up, he looked at the yacha behind Jing Zhankun again, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know what case the adults are handling, do you need to lead people to help?" ”

"No need. The official has taken down the prisoner, so I will not spare you to take action. As for the identity of these criminals......" Jing Zhankun glanced back at the few widows behind him who were tied up by five flowers, and the corners of his mouth curled: "It's the murderer who set fire to the Lantern Festival in the area of Qipan Street before." ”

"Ah......" Zeng Qian called out in surprise, and then his expression looked a little unsightly. Although the previous incident happened under the jurisdiction of the Zhongcheng Terracotta Division, he was still quite concerned about it, which belonged to the same yamen. According to his thoughts, since this case happened over there, it should be handled jointly by the Zhongcheng Terracotta Division and the Shuntian Mansion. But today, the people of Shuntianfu took the people themselves, and did not give any greetings and opportunities to the soldiers and horses at all, which is really not authentic.

Although it was already dark, there were a lot of torches around him, and Jing Zhankun could naturally see the strange expressions of the people opposite, so he snorted coldly: "What, does Commander Zeng have any opinion on this?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don't dare! Zeng Qian knew very well that he was far from being the opponent of Jing Tuiguan in front of him in terms of eloquence and status, so he naturally would not conflict with him at this time. But he didn't dare, but he still exposed the dissatisfaction in his heart, otherwise he would just say no.

Jing Zhankun didn't care about this, just nodded slightly: "In this case, the human official has been caught, so I will bring them back to the yamen for interrogation, and please make way." ”

"Yes!" Zeng Qian hurriedly agreed, and then turned around and ordered someone to give way to the road, and asked the people of Shuntianfu to escort the prisoner away.

Seeing that the other party was a little deflated but couldn't vent, Jing Zhankun only felt a burst of happiness, and the unhappiness just now because of the disadvantage of catching people finally calmed down a lot.

However, Yang Zhen had been watching coldly during this period, looking at the military attache who was five big and three rough, who was afraid that he could completely beat Jing Zhankun with just one punch, he didn't even dare to express his anger in front of him, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Now there is indeed a big problem with this Ming Dynasty." If the military attachΓ©s are like this, why should they fight against a murderous alien enemy? However, he also understands that this kind of thing will not be formed overnight, and it is extremely difficult to change, and the only thing he can do now is to ensure that his dignity is not trampled on.

After watching Jing Zhankun and them leave, the humility on Zeng Qian's face was immediately replaced by anger. But even behind people's backs, he didn't dare to insult and vent at will, and in the end he could only vent his anger on the more vulnerable groups: "Come on, bring me all these people who haunt the streets for no reason!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers also felt the anger from their superiors, so they stepped forward to take someone without the slightest hesitation. For a while, the whole street was shouting for mercy, but none of the people dared to resist or escape, after all, these city patrol soldiers have bows, crossbows, knives and guns in their hands, if you dare to resist, the end will be even worse.

In the blink of an eye, dozens or hundreds of people who were watching the bustle were taken down, tied together with ropes, and continued to move forward with the patrol procession. Zeng Qian, who was riding on the horse, calmed down a little, and then thought that he had to hurry back to report the matter to his commander, and see if there was a way to get out of this evil breath.

And he didn't know that what he did at this time because of venting had caused a lot of damage to the reputation of the Xicheng Terracotta Division, and the people who were taken must be resentful, and after he came out to publicize it, he would definitely be punished.

This is where the shortcomings of these old and rough military attaches lie today, who often only try to do things quickly for a while, and have no ability to look at problems in the long run.

When Zeng Qian returned to Yamen with those people swaggering through the city, and mentioned today's events to his superiors, and provoked the latter's same anger, Yang Zhen and the others finally escorted the six Japanese back to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion. At this time, the time has passed the first shift, and it is really late at night.

However, here in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, it was still brightly lit at this time, and a group of people, whether it was officials or errands, all stayed here, waiting for Jing Zhankun and their smooth arrival. It wasn't until one of the officers who was guarding the door saw the group of men and horses appear from a distance and ran in quickly to report it, that everyone's hearts hung in their throats.

This case is too serious, and it is too much taken seriously by the people of the government and the opposition. Therefore, anyone in Shuntianfu is afraid that he will return empty-handed this time, which will be too embarrassing, and he will not be able to explain to the imperial court. When Sun Yizheng, who was flipping through the books to pass the time, didn't actually read anything, heard Jing Zhankun and them coming back, he couldn't help but stand up from his seat and wanted to go out with a step.

But then, he thought of his identity again, and knew that he couldn't behave so eagerly, which would damage his official authority, so he slowly sat down again: "Call them in and talk back." ”

Although he said so, Sun Yizheng's heart was still inevitably worried, suffering from gains and losses, for fear that something would really go wrong. It wasn't until he heard a cheer from the courtyard in front of him, and knew that it was done, that his tense expression relaxed, and then he realized that his back was soaked with sweat in the middle of such a cold winter night.

"See Lord Fu Yin. Xia Guan is fortunate not to be dishonored! Jing Zhankun then appeared in front of the door, still saluting respectfully and reporting it.

"Oh? It's really hard for you, how is it, are things going well? Although Sun Yi was so nervous just now, at this time, he looked very indifferent.

"This ......" Jing Zhankun hesitated for a moment, but still truthfully told the details of the arrest of those widows, and finally sighed: "If it weren't for Yang Baihu's bravery, I'm afraid that there would be a big problem with taking people this time!" ”

"Is this the thing? How many casualties are there? Sun Yizheng frowned, and his happiness was much less.

"Sixteen of the dead, twenty-eight of the seriously injured, and dozens of other lightly injured ......," Jing Zhankun reported the number with a bitter face.

"Humph! These widows are really bold, not only dare to commit such a heart-wrenching case in our capital, but also dare to resist arrest and injury tolerance, which is really unreasonable! After scolding him a few times, Sun Yizheng looked at this subordinate again and comforted: "Although the casualties are not small, they are valuable after all, just take people down." The next interrogation will have to be handled by you, but you must not disappoint this official. ”

"Yes, I understand!" Jing Zhankun nodded hurriedly, he knew that this was also a credit, it seemed that after this incident, Sun Fuyin cultivated himself as a cronie, which was not a bad result.

"Also, the official will order people to compensate the casualties, you don't have to worry. As for Yang Baihu's side, how much credit do you think he will share in this case? "Since he is regarded as a confidant, there are some things to say.

Jing Zhan Kunming's Baisun Yizheng's thoughts, and smiled bitterly: "The lower officials have tested him before, but he seems to value the credit this time, so he ......"

"Also, this time the incident is so big, and the credit must be not small. And he doesn't need to look at our face, so things may not really go as we want. Only by trying the case as soon as possible and satisfying the people above is the most important thing for us to do. ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands. Tomorrow, the lower officials will start interrogating them, and they will not be able to deny it! In this regard, Jing Zhankun seems very confident.
