Chapter XIII: Punishment
After several people drank the wine in the urn, Zhang Zai left the barracks with Xue Rengui and Zhang Liao, and the city gate was not closed at this time, and he had to let Wang's spies see him return to the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As for Xu Guangqi, he is still in the army, and the process that needs to be handed over will be completed, and he can report to the Taishou Mansion tomorrow.
Zhang Zai and the three of them returned to the Taishou Mansion with a familiar car, and as soon as the front foot landed, they received a report that the head of the Wang family had visited.
Zhang Zai was silent, but he admired the many spies of the Wang family in his heart, and he also came up with the idea of developing an intelligence network.
He ordered the guards to invite the guests to the hall and boiled hot water at the same time, because he didn't like the tea soup of this period, so the house did not prepare tea.
Soon, a soldier entered the lobby with a man in brocade who had not been confused for more than a year.
Seeing Zhang Zai sitting in front of the hall, the man was a little surprised, this Taishou was a little too young, but he didn't lose his manners, and said loudly: "Yanmen Wang Hui, meet Lord Taishou." ā
Zhang Zai got up, walked over to him to help him up, and said, "Mr. Wang doesn't have to be polite. ā
Then he made a gesture of please: "Please be seated." ā
"Thank you, sir."
The two sat down again, and Zhang Zai asked knowingly: "I don't know what is the matter with Mr. coming?" ā
Wang Hui secretly scolded Zhang Zai's little fox in his heart, but said quietly: "The dog has no form, and he has angered the adult, and he has no way to discipline him, and he asks the adult to be tolerant, and he will be allowed to take him back to the house for education, and there will be a good reward in the next." ā
Wang Hui avoided the important and trivialized, and at the same time hoped that Zhang Zai could expose this time and no longer pursue it.
Zhang Zai frowned, and said with an embarrassed face: "It's a little difficult to do at this time, your son robbed people's wives and daughters on the street, and injured people, so the public was angry, and he could only lock him up in the Taishou Mansion, and he also promised the neighbors, this matter must be dealt with seriously, sir...... It's not easy to explain to the people. ā
Listening to Zhang Zai's official words, Wang Hui had a big head for a while, he didn't hear the meaning of Zhang Zai's words, that is, as long as he could give the people an explanation, as for how to explain, it can be discussed.
He also knows his son, who usually offends a lot of people, and it may be difficult to settle this matter.
"I wonder what adults are going to do with dogs?" Wang Hui pretended not to hear the meaning of Zhang Zai's words and asked.
What an old fox, Zhang Zai put a label on Wang Hui in his heart.
Zhang Zai said with a nonchalant face: "It won't be too serious, at most thirty military sticks will be beaten to set an example." ā
looked at Zhang Zai's indifferent face, as if these thirty military sticks were very easy, but in fact, with Wang Tao's figure, these thirty military sticks would lose half of their lives if they didn't die.
After Wang Hui heard this, he almost wanted to vomit blood, it seems that this Zhang Zai really regarded the Wang family as a piece of fat and ate himself.
"My lord, the dog has not been in good health since he was a child, can he be punished lightly?" Wang Hui wiped the non-existent sweat on his head.
"Mr. Wang's love for his son is sincere, but he can also understand it, but a certain new Taishou, seeing that the people's livelihood in Yanmen is withering, and he wants to implement a new policy and regulate the affairs of the county, if he does not believe in his words, I am afraid that this new policy will be difficult to implement." Zhang Zai bit the four words of people's livelihood withering very hard, the meaning is obvious, I just eat you, if you don't bleed, then your son will be dealt with according to law, and you will do it yourself.
Wang Hui gritted his teeth angrily, but people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, even if the Wang family has a lot of influence in Yanmen, but Zhang Zai is too guarded and does not let go, then he has no way to interfere with the decision of the Taishou Mansion.
If it is an ordinary Taishou, it is enough to coerce and lure, but this one is not good, he holds military power, and there are more than 1,000 troops, which is really not something they can handle.
With a heart, Wang Hui said: "I am willing to take out 500 gold to support adults to improve people's livelihood, and I only hope that adults can forgive children." ā
Zhang Zai smiled secretly in his heart, as long as you old fox let go, then everything will be easy.
Zhang Zai pinched his chin and said in a deep voice: "Let me think about this matter." ā
"In the next private gift, I will give an adult 200 gold!" Wang Hui was dripping blood in his heart, and he added another two hundred gold.
Based on the income of the Wang family, this 500 gold is already a month's net income.
"In this way, I will thank Mr. for his generosity for the people of the whole county, but after this incident, I hope that Mr. will not let your son show up for the time being." Zhang Zai currently wants to govern, he has to recruit some officials, relying only on the children of the poor family, it is far from enough, but also relying on the cooperation of these families, after all, most of the current scholars are children of the family, and he is not too much persecution, and he will accept it when he sees it.
Wang Hui held back the unhappiness in his heart and said, "Please rest assured, I will fully cooperate in the future." ā
Then Zhang Zai slowly said the plan he had already thought of, and after discussing it, he ordered someone to take Wang Hui to Wang Tao's residence.
The next day, just after dawn, there were many people at the gate of the Taishou Mansion, and among these people, they were more or less offended by Wang Tao.
In the expectation of everyone, Wang Tao was carried out of the mansion.
At this time, Wang Tao's cloak was scattered, and his brocade robe was already a little tattered, but the appearance could still be seen clearly.
Just as the people were cheering, Zhang Zai quietly appeared at the door of the Taishou Mansion.
"Silence! Quiet! A team of Jang Jae's guards began to maintain order at the door.
Under the shouting of a group of guards, the people gradually quieted down.
Zhang Zai walked out, took a deep breath, and said: "Fellow villagers, a certain is Zhang Zai, thanks to His Majesty's love, he has been added as the Taishou of Yanmen, General Jiayangwu, and is in charge of the military and political affairs of Yanmen." ā
"Meet Taishou-sama!" Looking at the handsome man in front of them, everyone was a little incredible, but they still bowed.
"Fellow villagers, Wang Tao, the son of the Wang family, is a disaster in the township on weekdays, and recently he has robbed people's wives and daughters, and now he has decided to punish him for thirty years."
Then a soldier carried Wang Tao into the mansion, followed by a scream.
The screams continued for a long time, and when Wang Tao was carried out again, he was already lying on a stretcher, his head drooping, dying.
Seeing Wang Tao's tragic situation, the people shouted long live, and after a while, they dispersed.
No one saw it, and after Wang Tao was carried into the carriage, he immediately sat up, and at the same time changed the bloody clothes on his body, without a trace of injury at all.
Taishou Fuzhong, remembering that the people shouted long live just now, Zhang Zai said guiltily to the three people beside him: "Doing this, some people in the city can't live it!" ā
Xu Guangqi also sighed, and then comforted Zhang Zai: "This is also helpless, at present, the governance of Yanmen, you still need the help of those families, you can only make this decision, expedient, and compensate the people more in the future, but the lord of this Li Dai Tao stiff, the plan to transfer flowers and trees is really wonderful." ā
Zhang Zai smiled bitterly: "I just hope that the people will not scold me in the future." ā
Zhang Zai's new official took office, and he didn't have any talents in his hands, and he had no foundation in Yanmen, and everything in the Taishou Mansion was handled by Xu Guangqi alone, and there was still a lack of assistants.
And the county of the border county is concurrently served by the Taishou, and there is an extreme lack of officials in the Taishou Mansion at present, Xu Guangqi has to help Zhang Zai deal with government affairs after dealing with the affairs of the Taishou Mansion, fortunately, Xu Guangqi has some means, and can still assist from the side, although Zhang Zai has no experience, but he has also learned management in his previous life, and he is very quick to get started.
At the end of the day, the two of them were hardly idle, and it was not until the evening that they finished the official duties of the county.
Just rested for a while, someone outside the house suddenly came over with an invitation, and the two opened it to see that they were the head of the Wang family and the captain Wang Bao, as well as some small families, inviting him to the Qingyun Tower in the city for a banquet.
Xu Guangqi said: "Lord, I'm afraid these families are not good!" ā
Zhang Zai snorted coldly and said, "It's nothing more than a loss, I want to get back some face and show off their strength." ā
Xu Guangqi is not a good-tempered person, thinking of the harm of the family, he said hatefully: "If you are not afraid of turmoil in the county, you will directly send troops to eradicate them." ā
Zhang Zai smiled disdainfully and said, "Call Xue Rengui and Zhang Liao, I want to see how they sing this play." ā
