Chapter 162: Reward and Punishment
Skip the episodes of the Kong family, let's not mention them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Kai opened the letter with Zhang Tongju's name written on it, and originally thought that the contents would be evidence of Zhang Tongju's collusion with the Zhu family, but the first thing he wanted to see was a letter from home - a letter from a family to report the funeral.
The above content is roughly that Zhang Tongju's father died of illness, and I hope he can return to his hometown in Guangxi to mourn.
The important thing is that this letter was signed two years ago!
You must know that according to the ancient officialdom system, after the death of your parents, unless the emperor personally decrees to 'win affection', you must 'Ding Wei' to mourn - that is, temporarily leave the post and go home to be a filial son for three years.
If this is left on ordinary people, the salary is still paid, and a three-year long vacation is given, it will naturally be a bubble of beauty.
But when it comes to officials, it is a policy that has caused headaches for many people -- the situation in officialdom is changing rapidly, and after three years at home, how can it be so easy to reinstate officials?!
Therefore, the practice of keeping the mourning secret after the death of the parents is also common in officialdom.
Of course, once this practice is discovered, it is definitely a felony, and the dismissal of officials is relatively light, and when the emperor is unhappy, he may directly give a cup of poisoned wine, so that such 'fatherless and kingless people' can apologize for their crimes with death.
Although I don't know how this letter ended up in Zhu Chaofeng's hands, Zhang Tong must have run away from the conviction of concealing Ding Wei and failing to report it-after all, it has only been two years now, and according to the law, it still belongs to Ding Wei's period.
Tut~
No wonder Dong Ping slept with the woman sentenced by Zhang Tong, and he was still rescued by the Zhu family, and the feelings are so in the hands of the Zhu family.
After Wu Kai finished reading it, most of the gloom in his heart was cleared at once, and he immediately splashed ink, wrote a handwritten letter, and raised his voice: "Cao ......"
He originally wanted to call Cao Yang in and ask him to send the letter to Dongping Mansion immediately, but after thinking about it, although Cao Yang has been very well-behaved recently, he can't be regarded as his confidant after all-besides, he is a mere fast shift leader, how easy is it to meet the general judgment of Yifu?
Let's wait for Lin Dengwan to come back.
It was just that half of the call, but it had already attracted Cao Yang's attention, so he hurriedly trotted into the study, knelt down in front of the bookcase, and reported: "Lord Qiqi, now I have searched most of it, and found that there are six people with the property of the Zhu family, and one person has some scattered silver hidden on his body, but he argues that he used to ......"
"Behead them all."
Wu Kai waved his hand impatiently and said, "Except for these seven people, the rest will be transferred to labor first, and will be temporarily assigned to the prisoner camp to wait for dispatch." ”
As the rout continued to flee back, the number of coalition prisoners in Wu Kai's hands has exceeded five hundred, and they are steadily advancing towards six hundred, and the militia in charge of guarding them has long been overwhelmed.
Wu Kai transferred these forty or so captives to hard labor, firstly to alleviate the dilemma of insufficient manpower, and secondly, to divide and win over these thieves.
After all, in order to win the trust of the master, the two devils will always be more ...... than the real one
Ahh
I almost called myself a Japanese devil, so it's better to put it another way:
The dogs in the wolf pack can only be accepted by the group if they show more "wolf nature", otherwise there is only a dead end.
Therefore, the dogs in the wolf pack will have a strong sense of crisis, and subconsciously remind themselves all the time that "I am a wolf", so they are often more ruthless than real wolves.
In short, after this group of 'dogs' hypnotizes themselves, Wu Kai will be able to rest assured that they will be incorporated into the Red Turban Army.
Cao Yang was about to leave, but was stopped by Wu Kai, and indifferently ordered: "After dealing with those few prisoners who are secretly hidden, don't be idle, strip naked and sunburn, and go to get rid of the corpse." ”
Cao Yang's body trembled when he heard this, he didn't dare to take it himself, but almost all of his brothers were ......
According to his courage, he didn't dare to question Wu Kai - but if a few brothers walked into the secret passage with him, they would all see the king of Hades when they turned their faces, but who would dare to do things under him in the future?
So he hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but inquire cautiously: "Buddha, our own brothers, do we have to ...... too?"
As he spoke, he slashed his neck.
"The capital crime will be spared, each person will be beaten with thirty boards first, and if they dare to commit it again in the future, they will be punished for both crimes! -- In addition, those who do not have a personal possession will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. ”
There is always some difference between oneself and outsiders, especially when there is a shortage of manpower.
After Cao Yang went out, there was soon chaos outside, shouting, shouting, and crying, but after a few screams sounded one after another, everything fell silent again.
After a long while, I saw Cao Yang walk in naked, protect the key point with both hands, and kneel down and said: "Buddha, several people outside have been searched, only the villain ......"
Wu Kai took a deep breath, and then squeezed out five words from between his teeth: "Get out of here!" ”
However, Cao Yang got dressed again, but he ran in again, Wu Kai thought he had something to report at first, but then he heard the crackling sound of the board outside, and realized that he didn't want to be imprisoned outside.
"That's right."
Wu Kai suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "How are the two little women?" ”
Cao Yang knew that he was referring to the Liu family and the Zhang family, and his face immediately showed a little resentment, and said sourly: "Then the Liu family still gritted his teeth and refused to give in, but that Zhang family has been coaxed away by Lao Song!" ”
"You mean Song Xiong?"
Now the only one who can be called an old Song by Cao Yang is Song Xiong.
"No, Lao Song's daughter-in-law died in childbirth two years ago - pitiful, if it is left now, there is a forceps invented by the Buddha, maybe it will ......."
"Get down to business!"
"That Zhang saw that Lao Song was also a manager, greedy for wealth and enjoyment, so he pushed the boat from him."
When Cao Yang said this, he still couldn't hide a sour smell - in his opinion, if it weren't for the yellow-faced woman in his family, the plump and fair-skinned Zhang would have been in his bag, so would it be Song Xiong's turn?
"This guy is very fast!"
Wu Kai's original intention was to test the market reaction of the little widow, but who would have thought that Song Xiong would pick up a bargain.
"What happened to the rest of the Liu family, are there many people who are going to ask for marriage?"
"Not a lot."
Cao Yang shook his head, and just when Wu Kai was a little disappointed, he said: "After all, after we enter the city, there are few people who can be idle, and if you want to ask for a kiss, you have to have that time." ”
This is also true, now there are so many things, one person hates to break into two, if there are really many people who have asked for marriage in the past, there will be a problem.
Wu Kai was about to ask again, but he heard someone outside report loudly: "Buddha, my aunt and Lin Dutou are back, and they are waiting outside the city with the owner of the village and many people!" (To be continued.) )
