Chapter 270: Bandits
(Cat flutter Chinese) A layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, the more shocked the pupils, the more pale his face became, and the child judge did not regain his calm appearance, and the things that Lord Shile ordered the child judge to somewhat surprised the child to the extreme.
"Subordinate......" Tong Juan hesitated, and after listening to the words of Lord Dele, he immediately said on one knee: "The villain is willing to listen to the adult's orders and send no one dares to disobey, and the adult can send the small one with confidential matters, it is clear that the adult treats the small one as a henchman, and it is a blessing for the small one who does not know how many lifetimes he has cultivated!" ”
Leaving the secret stronghold of the Imperial City Division, Tong Juan wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face was still pale, and he knew in his heart that he could live today's life thanks to Lord Le, if he didn't take over this errand today, not to mention that he would be able to live a life like today's in the future, I was afraid that even he would disappear without a trace.
Just when all the Hangzhou city officials, gentry, and people were waiting for Lord Le to put some big move to counterattack the prefect Wang's mansion, suddenly a news reached the Hangzhou Mansion, in Hangzhou Bay at the mouth of the Qiantang River, the Hu family's merchant ship was looted by sea bandits, and the ship's principal, sailors, and miscellaneous servants were killed cleanly, and the corpses were thrown into the Qiantang River, and even the ship and goods were robbed.
Sea thieves, there have been people since ancient times. It's just that most pirates are more particular about their work, and they usually rob past merchants, just to ask for some transit money, and without transit money, they just move some goods on board. And now this group of bandits is different, not only looting the goods, but also killing the people with them, which is obviously a violation of the rules.
Hangzhou is one of the locations of the four major cities of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the main port of the Great Song Dynasty for overseas trade, and the annual tax levied by the Hangzhou City Shipping Division accounts for more than 30% of the four major cities. What does it mean that there are no cargo ships going to sea, which means that the city has no income, and the Great Song Dynasty has no taxes.
The city of Hangzhou shook again, killing people twice in a row, and they came to commit crimes against the wind when the government was strictly ordering the investigation to be in the limelight, what does this mean, it means that these bandits are provoking the imperial court, and they don't even take these Great Song sailors seriously. In fact, in recent years, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty have been even more unbearable, and the soldiers in the barracks are either farmers or craftsmen, and there are really not many soldiers who can handle the boat out of the sea on the Liangzhejiang Road.
The secret stronghold of the Imperial City Division, Lord Le looked directly at Huang Kanjian, asked coldly, and said: "This official just asked you to pretend to be a bandit and find out what the imperial court prohibited the goods on the ship outside the Hu Yuan, but he didn't let you kill people and steal the goods!" ”
As he spoke, Huang Kanjian set his eyes on Li Dutou.
A pair of eyes forced to look at Huang Kanjian, and Master Le said coldly again: "Then why are you waiting for the official to send out to do business, which is unusually consistent with the time when the bloody case outside Hangzhou Bay occurred?" ”
In view of the fact that Hu Yuanwai was against him, Master Le fell on Hu Yuanwai's body, so he ordered Huang Kanjian and others to check Hu Yuanwai's cargo ship, in order to find out some shortcomings in Hu Yuanwai. This dynasty has the responsibility of investigating the Imperial City Division, and has no power to enforce the law, and the anti-smuggling part is under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Shipping Division, and the Imperial City Division is really not good to act boldly tomorrow. So Lord Le had an idea and ordered Huang Kanzhen and others to pretend to be pirates to inspect the cargo ship outside Hu Yuan.
The virtues of the Imperial City Division and other cadres are clear to Lord Le, and in terms of style and character, these people are essentially no different from those tricky people in the yamen. Even the Imperial City is more arrogant than the errands, and there have been many cases of the Imperial City Division being framed by the Imperial City Division during the calendar years, which also makes the reputation of the Imperial City Division quite bad.
In this regard, Huang Kanzhen was also helpless, his party acted on orders, and the time of the case was abnormally consistent, that is, he was the official himself, and he was afraid that he would doubt himself.
As the saying goes: The car and boat shop should be killed if you are not guilty!
With a preliminary understanding of the forces of the pirates in the east, Master Le asked again: "What about the forces of these dozen bandits?" ”
"These pirates are also smart and know the truth of losing both!" Master Le smiled and commanded, "Go on!" ”
Master Le was surprised: "Pirates are so well-behaved?" ”
"I can't imagine that there are some rules among pirates!" Master Le nodded.
Master Le thought for a while and said, "So, the case that happened a few days ago has nothing to do with these bandits?" ”
After thinking for a while, Le Dacai said slowly: "Hangzhou Bay is a place where bandits in the open sea can't be reached, according to your meaning, it is judged that it is Hu Yuanwai's enemy or who is doing the crime, as for the subsequent cases, it is very likely to disturb the judgment of the government and Hu Yuanwai?" ”
"You've done a great job!" Master Le and Huang Kanjian said, and said: "Although the case that happened in Hangzhou Bay is a matter of the city department and the government office, and has nothing to do with the imperial city department, but the imperial city department, as the eyes and ears set up by the officials, how can they ignore the reason, go back and write a post about the news you inquired, and send someone to the official Shi Gou, so as to show that we have not slackened!" ”
In the early morning of the second day, the county government had just dispersed, and several people from the government came to the Qiantang County government in a big way, and after being taken to the inner hall by the menzi, they sang with Lord Le, and said: "My lord and villain came to invite the county lord to go to the government to talk about it!" ”
"The villain is just acting on orders, and I ask the county lord to understand the villain's difficulties!" The little official replied.
After the words fell, he said to Tu Si: "Cook a bowl of barley porridge in the kitchen, and wait for the master to come back at noon to eat!" ”
