Chapter 65: The Eyes and Ears of the Underground

In Lin'an City in the late spring of the second year of Jiaxi, because of the assassination of Meng Heng, the deputy envoy of Jinghu who returned to Beijing from the north, Meng Heng and Meng Dashuai, fell into the carnival feast belonging to the front of the palace for only a few hours, and it was inexplicably returned to normal again.

At the moment before, the wolf-like soldiers in front of the palace were still searching everywhere for extortion, and the whole city was closed and arrested, but in less than an hour, they were dejected because of an edict from Zhao Yun and returned to the camp.

With this edict, a large number of ordinary people who had just been sent to the prison and had not even had time to warm up the cell were invited into the Lin'an Mansion prison by the soldiers in front of the palace were once again invited out of the prison by the unhappiness and politeness of the Lin'an Mansion, and there was no follow-up explanation with a pleasant face: "The Holy Lord is considerate of the people, and the edict must not disturb the people, and you can go home".

Although many people are a little confused about what the two monks are doing in Lin'an Mansion and the front division of the palace, no one really wants to stay in the prison of Lin'an Mansion, right?

What's more, Zhu Kuai has already made it very clear that it is the person who was ordered by the emperor to let Lin'an Mansion go. The common people are so simple, although they know that it was also Zhao Yun's will that Lu Dao was arrested before, but now that they are released, they only remember that the emperor understood them and made an order for them.

Although they were all edicts from the same person, the emperor's kindness naturally attracted praise from the people of the city. What many people don't know is that this edict was obtained by Jia Yidao after entering the palace to persuade Zhao Yun.

The overcrowded Lin'an Mansion Prison was empty again after a short time of incense.

When the people of Lin'an City, who were locked to guard against the soldiers in front of the palace and broke in, heard that there was no movement outside, they secretly opened the door to look, and they were surprised to find that when they started to know when the Lin'an Mansion and the soldiers in front of the palace who were originally all over the city disappeared quietly, and the empty streets and quiet nights seemed to be just a dream.

Seeing the wolf-like soldiers in front of the palace, the people of Lin'an City were still vigilant and went to bed early.

The night passed quickly, followed by three more days. For many people in Lin'an City, the events that happened three days ago and lasted only a few hours were like a dream.

In the past three days, countless people in Lin'an City have found that the originally closed city gate has also been opened again, and those short-lived wolf-like soldiers in front of the palace have become the original half-dead appearance, and there is no search and arrest, and even the sea fishing documents have not appeared.

Except for the fact that there were many more catchers and soldiers patrolling the streets and alleys, everything else was no different from before, as if nothing had really happened three days ago.

The panic that hung over Lin'an City quickly dissipated, and three days was enough time to dissipate the panic in the hearts of the people of Lin'an City, who finally understood that the incident really seemed to be over.

Without the worries in his heart, Lin'an City soon returned to its former appearance, and the flow of people appeared on the streets of Lin'an City again, countless vendors set up stalls again, and the little hooligans who collected protection fees also collected the protection fees again......

The prosperity seems to be more than ever.

……

"The villain retires, the villain retires!"

Looking at the half-hundred-year-old man who bowed down and walked backwards out of the lobby with a smile, Jia Rudao rubbed his forehead.

"Ziwan, how many are these?"

"Lord Hui, this Qinghe Gang leader Qiu Min is the fifth today."

Yu Ci, who was sitting on the side and taking notes, heard Jia Yidao's words, and hurriedly got up and bowed in response.

Since three days ago, after Jia Yidao persuaded Zheng Qingzhi and Yu Tianxi, he entered the palace to face the saint. What exactly he said to Zhao Yun, no one knew what he said, but Zhao Yun gave Jia Yidao a handwritten message, and all matters related to Meng Hui's assassination were handled by Jia Yidao.

With Zhao Yun's edict, Zheng Qingzhi, who didn't want to wade into this troubled water, never appeared again, Yu Tianxi held three positions, and knew better that Zhao Yun just wanted to let himself cheer for Jia Nidao, so he stayed in the household yamen all day, and since Jia Nidao entered Lin'an Mansion, Yu Tianxi did a trick shopkeeper, and basically no longer asked about the assassin's arrest.

Yu Tianxi even discussed with Jia Nidao that all the official affairs of Lin'an Mansion would be handed over to Jia Nidao as an agent, anyway, Jia Nidao, the general judgment of the sixth grade, was the second-in-command, but Jia Nidao refused forcefully and even said something to pick and not do before he gave up.

However, it is precisely because of this incident that Zheng Qingzhi, Yu Tianxi, and Zhao Qi understand that Jia Rudao said that if he was not in the officialdom that day, it was a real truth.

For Jia Rudao's thoughts, Yu Tianxi is happy and happy, but more regretful. However, there was no persuasion. He knows very well that with Jia Nidao's temperament and the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty, even if Jia Nidao really doesn't want to mix in officialdom, there will always be such and such things that push him step by step to a high position.

Not to mention that Zhao Yun is behind his back.

After taking the edict, Jia Rudao began to investigate the assassination of Meng Hui, and there were more than ten people under the general judgment governor and the small officials in each room, but I don't know if Lu Dao was a coincidence or an accident, most of the more than ten small officials who were beaten to death by the bandit general Zheng Kuo that day were actually the officials in the general judge's room, and the initiator was the first to be knocked to the ground by Zheng Kuo and seriously injured and unconscious.

Afterwards, they were arrested by Jia Nidao and put in prison by several soldiers in front of the palace, all of whom were punished with 80 rods and sent to Huangzhou to be dealt with. As for Zheng Kuo, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, he was severely punished by Zhao Yun's order, fined him for half a year and banned for one year, and compensated all the officials of the Lin'an Mansion who were beaten with nearly 1,000 taels of silver.

This thousand taels of silver is not much, but it is definitely a lot. But it was Jia Rudao who deliberately gave Zheng Kuo a small punishment, which can be regarded as seeking justice for the officials of Lin'an Mansion.

Xu Ru was injured and had to be raised at home for at least a year and a half, and most of the officials under the general judgment were seriously injured by Zheng Kuo and were bedridden.

With a mouth, Jia Rudao asked Zhao Yun for Yu Ci and was promoted to the governor of Lin'an Prefecture. Although it is only a small official of the ninth grade, compared to some other first-class jinshi who are still waiting to be ordained and praying, this is obviously Jia Yidao repaying Yu Tianxi.

Yu Tianxi also knows Lin'an Mansion, this time Meng Heng was assassinated, no matter what, he can't shirk the responsibility. Therefore, in fact, everyone knows that when the assassination of Meng Heng is understood, Yu Tianxi will resign from the official position of Zhilin'an Mansion nine out of nine.

Maybe Zhao Yun will think about Jia Nidao for the sake of Jia Nidao, and he will stay with Yu Tianxi for a while for the time being, but everyone knows that Lu Dao will definitely not be able to do it for long if Jia Nidao is sentenced by Lin'an Mansion.

Once Jia Nidao is promoted and leaves Lin'an Mansion, then with Jia Nidao's sponsorship, the probability that Yu Ci, the temporarily appointed governor of the general judgment, will definitely get a general judgment from Lin'an Mansion is definitely more than ninety percent.

Yu Ci was awarded the governor of Lin'an Mansion, and naturally he was envious of the countless Jinshi masters who were still waiting to be conferred on him. I regret that I didn't support Jia Nidao with Yu Ci at the beginning.

Of course, this is also an expression of Jia Rudao's repeated overtures to Lao Yu's family. Only if you are good and I am good, can everyone be good, right?

The governor of the general judgment is there, and he is still an acquaintance, Jia Rudao lived in the prefect's mansion that originally belonged to Yu Tianxi in the back hall of the Lin'an Mansion.

In the past three days, Jia Quan'er went back to Jiafu, and then brought some daily necessary changes of clothes. Among them, there was also an official robe that Xu Ruoxi asked Jia Quan'er to bring, and she spent two days sewing Jia Yidao by herself.

Looking at the official robe, Jia Rudao's heart was warm, but he only smiled. He could imagine the embarrassed appearance when he handed over this official robe to Jia Quan's childhood with Xu Ruoxi's temperament.

It's the right way to get it done early, finish it early, and continue the unfinished cave room candle night.

If Jia Yidao's idea made Zhao Yun know it, I was afraid that he would vomit dozens of taels of blood.

In three days, everything in Lin'an City returned to calm, and only the various dock gangs knew that this was just the beginning. Because, in the past three days, one gang after another has received summons from Lin'an Mansion.

In three days, Jia Rudao had already met with more than 20 underworld gang bosses of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Ziwan, you and I don't have to be so polite."

From Yu Ci entered this Lin'an Mansion, he quickly entered the state, and the title of Jia Yidao also changed from the original senior brother to an adult. And it was still respectful, Jia Nidao didn't know that this was the first time he had reminded him, which made Jia Nidao quite helpless.

"Adult ......"

"Alright, alright, do whatever you want. How many more bosses do you want to see today? ”

Jia Rudao waved his hand to interrupt Yu Ci's words, he knew that Yu Ci would definitely be a big personal friendship next, and there must be a distinction between upper and lower in the government, otherwise how could adults serve the public and so on.

Although the curfew in Lin'an City and the city-wide search and arrest have been banned, in fact, the situation in Lin'an City is not worse than at the beginning, and it is even more tense, a typical situation of loosening on the outside and tightening on the inside.

And from the very beginning, Jia Rudao didn't plan to rely on the arrest of Lin'an Mansion and the front division of the palace to investigate the case. If you want to say who is the biggest person in Lin'an City, it goes without saying that it is naturally Zhao Yun; But who is the most well-informed in this Lin'an City? I'm afraid it won't be these underground gangs of all walks of life in Lin'an City.

These numerous gangs control everything in the underground world of Lin'an City. Qinglou, wine shop, casino, dock, kidnapping, extortion, illegal salt, goods, etc., if these gangs want to be checked, Lin'an Mansion is a check.

Isn't such a large number of underworld elements rooted in various unknown corners of Lin'an City the best ears and eyes?
