Chapter 12: The Mansion Will Be Sent to Despair (Part II)

Wu Yan and Han Gang were in the state government at this time.

The state government of Qinzhou is an ordinary courtyard, and there is nothing special about it, but it occupies a large area and has many houses. The only thing that is a little special is that the surrounding wall is more than a zhang high, and the shape is like a city wall, with a female wall and a pheasant moat, which is as wide as five or six feet. This is a design designed to continue street fighting after the city is broken.

The lobby, the second hall and other buildings on the central axis belong to the main owner of the state government, that is, the governor of Qinzhou. As for Wu Yan, the judge of the festival, he has a courtyard on the west side as his public hall. But Wu Yan did not take Han Gang to the festival hall, but took him to find the section magistrate next door.

Now that the war in the north is raging, Li Shizhong, the prime minister, has not yet returned. As the acting judge of the military affairs, there are not many things that are pressed on Wu Yan. However, as the first person responsible, he has the obligation to explain the matter in detail to the official in charge of the criminal case when he transfers the case. However, at this time, there was no one on duty in the official hall, Wu Yan sighed, and took Han Gang back to his public hall.

"Sit down!" Wu Yan first called a veteran on night duty and ordered him to bring tea. Pointing to the next chair again, he motioned for Han Gang to sit down and speak. He had a good impression of Han Gang, and he spoke very gently.

Han Gang didn't sit down, but knelt down to Wu Yan and saluted: "The student has something to ask the festival for the crime." ”

Wu Yan wondered, what kind of words were this. He leaned over and asked, "What is your sin?" ”

"The crime of opening an arsenal and taking equipment."

Wu Yan smiled: "What is this...... His voice suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, "What is it Han Xiucai can you be sure that Liu San and the others will come tonight?" ”

Han Gang said: "Because when the students said today that they were going to count the treasury for handover, Brother Li Liu, who came here with the students, looked different. The imperial court ordered an inventory of the state's finances, and the students had heard about the arson of the account books by the prince. If this is the case, after they are successful, the students will be speechless and will not be able to redeem their deaths. So I paid extra attention and made some preparations. I thought they were just prepared, but I didn't expect them to be so anxious. ”

There was no loophole in what Han Gang said, Wu Yan gently bowed his head in agreement, he understood what Han Gang said, and this was not a strange thing.

Han Gang is the chosen substitute ghost. The culprit of the fire died in the fire, and Wang Wu and Wang Jiu, who guarded the door, were sentenced to exile. As for the direct boss of the armory, Bing Cao and the county lieutenant took the leadership responsibility and was dismissed pending trial, and the current magistrate of the county was directly dismissed. And Chen Ju, the priest, can sit with Liu Xian of the Hucao Shuban and drink tea with peace of mind, Huang Deyong also got the little beauty he wanted, and Li Lezi's long-cherished wish for decades was fulfilled, and everything was comfortable.

It's just hateful, why doesn't Han Gang, the antagonist, act according to the script that has been written? A good show is completely smashed!

Han Gang knew that Chen Ju was definitely thinking so. And when he said these words in front of Wu Yan, what he really had to deal with was not Huang Da Tu, but Chen Ju behind Huang Da Tu. When he shot Liu San to death, forcing Wang Wu and Wang Jiu to submit a letter of surrender, Huang Dama was already a dead tiger. But behind Huang Dama, there is also the legendary Chen Ju who covered the sky in Chengji County.

Qinzhou Prefecture is Chengji County. The state government and the county government are both in the same city, and Chen Ju claims to cover the sky with one hand, but as Han Gang said to his parents the day before yesterday, in front of the civil and military officials in Qinzhou City, the little priest is not a number one person at all. His cover of the sky is just like a cloud, separating the people from the officials, if anyone can really break through the cloud, looking back, it is actually just a thin layer of water vapor.

Chen Ju is not like Huang Da Ma and Li Lezi, and his reputation in the city is not evil. If you let your cronies do all the bad things, you can get a good reputation. However, while forming a self-centered interest group, it is invariably infringing on the interests of other powerful forces. Chen Ju has been in Chengji County for 30 years, and there must be many people who have offended, but he is afraid of his huge strength and throws a mouse. If he could tear a hole in the network of connections he had laid down in Qinzhou and shake his position, the undercurrent surging in the shadows would be enough to split Chen Ju's power into pieces.

Han Gang had already made a start, and there was no reason not to continue. I also knew that I had to give it a go at this time. For the sake of safety in the future, Chen Ju must be beaten to death with a stick.

"Is it Chen Ju?" Wu Yan's question, like a sword from outside the sky, made Han Gang suddenly frightened. Wu Yan is not a stupid person, and he has served in Qinzhou for two years. understands Chen Ju better than Han Gang. The reason why Han Gang and the three of them were brought back to the state government instead of being handed over to Chengji County was precisely to prevent Chen Ju.

Wu Yan didn't want to deal with Chen Ju, but if he caused a commotion because of this, it would not be worth it. Chen Ju is not a small person, his dying struggle is enough to bite into the bones of a man from the eighth rank of Jingguan.

Although he admires Han Gang, Wu Yan will not take risks!

He has been an official for three years, but he can be an official for a lifetime. Chen Ju has been working in the Chengji County Yali since his grandfather's generation, and Zhenzong had only been on the throne for a long time. Now, decades have passed, Chen Ju himself has been a servant for 30 years, and has been promoted to the highest-ranking priest among the county-level officials, and there are also several loose official positions, one of which is called the Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, the inspector of the school, the imperial history, and the military cavalry captain [Note 1].

Although these names are all fictitious titles for officials, there is no one in the court of judges, and the court of officials does not record their names, they are only the products of the indiscriminate sealing of officials after the corruption of the official system in the late Tang Dynasty and the fifth dynasty, but there are not many people in a state who can get such loose officials.

At the same time, there is also a saying at this time, which is called that officials have no feudalism, and officials have feudalism. For example, Chen Ju's ancestors and grandchildren have worked in a yamen for several generations, and there are many places, but the official position is just a casual view, and he is often transferred to him before the end of his term - sometimes, in the position of the governor of the prefecture and county, five or six officials can be changed a year - before the chair is hot, they have to rush to change the guard, so how is this the opponent of these elites below?

There are too many examples of officials being deceived by Xu officials, and there are too many examples of losing their official positions, and if they are better, they are also disgraced, even Bao Zheng and Bao Xiaosu have also been deceived by the Xu officials of Kaifeng Mansion. can suppress the officials to be good people, half of them are all famous ministers, and their deeds of rectifying the officials can leave a strong mark in the official history and biography!

All officials in the world can be killed, how many officials' blood and tears are contained in this sentence!

For Mr. Hengqu's sake, it's okay to help Han Gang, but Wu Yan will definitely not go into battle shirtless and take risks with himself!

……………………

Yesterday, his son entered the city alone, and after returning home, Han Qianliu couldn't close his eyes after tossing and turning in bed all night. When they got up the next morning, the Hun family and their adoptive mother, like themselves, were red-eyed and didn't sleep all night. For Han Gang, who was left alone in the city and was almost in the enemy territory, no one in the family could put his mind at ease. Han Ah Li hurriedly heated two pieces of cooking cakes, and Han Qianliu took them in his hand and nibbled towards the ferry.

Early in the morning, the wind was blowing, the sky was overcast, and the air on the ferry was gloomy. Han Qianliu sat at the bow of the boat, his eyes fixed on Li Lezi who was sitting on the other end of the ferry. Han Qianliu is an honest man, he never dares to think about being a traitor, and he rarely even fights with others, but now he can't wait to kick Li Lezi into the water.

Li Lezi sat relaxed at the stern of the boat, with a small servant by his side, he was not afraid of what Han Qianliu, who was an honest man, could do. It would be different if Han Ah Li was next to him, and now if he didn't bring three or five family members, Li Leper would never dare to meet Han Ah Li.

"Brother Han, are you going to the city to see your third brother?"

Li Lezi had nothing to say, and he was simply provoking the conversation with malice. Han Qianliu turned his head to look at the river and ignored it. But his reaction like this is exactly what Li Lezi likes to see, and the smile on his face is even more proud. Since his in-laws have patted their chests and promised, the Hewan vegetable field will be renamed Li a few days later, and it is no longer raised, but born. Today, Li Lezi went to the city, and he also went to find out the news, and he was able to meet Han Qianliu on the way, so he didn't lose a happy thing to pass the time.

The water was too narrow, and Han Qianliu and Li Lezi had not yet sat on the bottom of the boat under the hot buttocks, but they only felt a slight shock from the hull of the boat, and the ferry had already reached the opposite shore. After getting off the boat, Han Qianliu hurriedly walked and wanted to get rid of Li Lezi. But Li Lezi and the little guy followed closely behind, and the more Han Qianliu lost his temper, the happier he looked at it. For the three acres of vegetable garden by the river bay, he fought with the Han family for 20 years. Now that he is finally about to get his wish, Li Lezi is in such a good mood that he hums a little song along the way, deliberately disgusting Han Qianliu.

Walking all the way, Han Qianliu and Li Lezi walked to the city gate one after the other, and saw that there was a lot of commotion, how many people were blocked at the city gate, and they had to line up to enter the city, and several soldiers dragged a pole and stick with their backhands, shouting and shouting outside the city gate, rectifying the order of the queue. The queue into the city moves very slowly, and every pedestrian and vehicle that enters and exits the city gate can be seen searched up and down, inside and out, before being released.

Li Lezi grabbed a soldier who came out to rectify the order, stuffed two cents, and yelled at the city gate, asking, "What happened in the city?" ”

"It seems that there was a Yaqian surnamed Han who killed someone last night, and it is said that the burning of the armory was discovered, and it may be a spy of the Western thief. Now when you go in and out of the city, you have to search your body. ”

It has only been a few hours since the incident happened last night, and not many people know the true inside story except for the relevant people. The information that came out of the yamen was fragmented, and it had to be supplemented by guesswork and assumption.

Han Qianliu was next to him, and his words were like five thunderbolts, as if he had fallen into a terrifying nightmare, "No, the third brother won't do such a thing!" ”

Li Lezi was also a little incredulous, but he knew something about Han Gang's hard temper. A gloating smile popped up from his face, and he couldn't wait to laugh wildly to vent the pleasure in his heart. "Brother Han, your third brother ......"

"What's wrong with me?" A very familiar voice suddenly sounded around the two of them. Turning his head to look, Li Lezi was so startled that he jumped away like a rabbit. The man he had just mentioned had come to his side at some point.

Note 1: In the late Tang Dynasty, there was a flood of official positions. For example, Doctor Yinqing Guanglu is considered a high-grade and noble official, but the small officials have also been given such official positions. After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, in addition to inheriting the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the five dynasties, even the tradition of officials taking posts was also inherited. It's just that the constitutional position of the officials does not pass the review of the court of judges, and does not go through the registration of the court of officials, no matter how exaggerated it looks, it is just good. With a fictitious title like Yinjiu Jian Wu, the Song Dynasty can seal more than a hundred at a time. And the Liao State also has this empty head and scattered officials, which are used to appease the Nasu officials (spending money*) and craftsmen. It's just that he avoided Liao Taizong Yelude's obscenity, and changed Doctor Yinqing Guanglu to Doctor Yinqing Chonglu.
