Chapter 206 The Family of Officials and Bandits

The official system of the Wei and Jin dynasties was established by the powerful ministers who held the military and political power, so everything was centered on the centralized power of the hegemon, and it was different from the centralized power of the later ministries of rites, households, criminals, workers, and soldiers, and the core decision-making circle of the hegemon controlled by the overlord was the generals and staff, and only some official positions at the executive level would be operated by the yamen itself, such as Jin Wuwei, to which the marquis of Wu belonged.

Originally, Jin Wuwei belonged to the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven and was under the control of Wenyang, Yang Ke in order to balance, but also for the sake of specialization, the capital Luoyang city defense and public security were separated, and the city defense belonged to the military category, and Wenyang was still in charge. Public security belongs to the category of civil affairs and is under the rule of the Luoyang Order. The city gate leader who was responsible for patrolling in front of the city gate was under the control of Wenyang, and the city patrol Wuhou was under the control of Luoyang Ling. If you encounter a traitor, both can be dealt with on the spot, but the city gate leader has no right to detain and torture, and he still has to hand it over to Wuhou. With the intersection of these powers and responsibilities, coupled with a long-term patrol in the city, the city gate leader and the marquis are very familiar with each other, and even more, they will also collude, corrupt and solicit bribes, although they are all small officials, but all the officials who deal directly with the people, the rights in their hands are always possible to be realized, and there are always some people who will help them to realize, and these people who help them realize their rights naturally form a complete set of rules of the game under the table. The most direct stakeholders of the sheriff in a place are naturally the underworld, and the reason is very simple, what to eat.

These leaders who are responsible for leading Luoyang's security are the children of the clan, to be precise, the nephews of the Xiao family patriarch. The inheritance of the title of the noble family is often the eldest son, and the children born to concubines other than the main wife do not have this blessing, unless the concubines die. Therefore, the children of the concubines often have to take the official career step by step, of course, this is also relatively speaking, compared with the children of the poor family, their step into the body is undoubtedly the ladder.

Xiao Shi is Xiao San's cousin, Gong Cao, a subordinate of the Luoyang Order, has no official position in Shimeng, so he can only rely on the snobbish recommendation of the Xiao family to make this seven-grade petty official, although the official is small, but the oil and water are not less, especially after the exchange of interests with Xiao Sanping, in the eyes of the people of Luoyang, Kyoto, these two brothers are a pair of living Hades, just like the three tycoons on the beach in the later world. Xiao Shi was wandering around in his yamen, and his subordinates ran in angrily: "My lord, my lord, something is wrong, the third master has been beaten." ”

Xiao Shi immediately bounced up from the stool: "What? The third master was beaten? As if remembering something, he asked, "Who moved the hand?" ”

"I don't know what the number of roads is, there are seven or eight or ten people on the other side, and there is a woman, who seems to be a foreigner. Several of our brothers in the yamen were injured. ”

Xiao Shi frowned: "What happened?" Did you die? ”

"When the third master's subordinate one-eyed dragon caught a family of three fugitive slaves, he moved his hand outside the city gate, and was bumped into by this group of people, they were uneven, so they started to move, and then the third master happened to arrive, the brothers of the yamen, and the people of the city gate led all joined in, not to mention that the horse was also snatched away by the other party, but the other party obviously had scruples, did not dare to hurt people's lives, and did not dare to use the blade."

After hearing what his subordinates said, Xiao Shi relaxed slightly. The other party is a foreigner, second, he did not use a blade, and third, he did not report his home from beginning to end, and no one intervened, so he was obviously not a dignitary. And if Xiao San had a conflict with the other party in order to catch the fugitive slave, it would be tenable in principle. From this, Xiao Shi preliminarily concluded that the other party was just some rangers without the support of the powerful, or some underworld people. As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Shi was secretly happy, maybe he could use this to catch some bandits and make some contributions: "Go and give an order, all the people in the yamen are counted as one, all bring their blades, and go to handle a big case with my lord." Although he was proud, Xiao Shi hadn't forgotten yet, the other party was super combative, so for the sake of safety, the cats and dogs in the yamen couldn't wait to drag them to the station to cheer together.

There were as many as one or two hundred Wuhou soldiers who came out of the nest, and they came to the city gate with smoke and dust all the way, and they saw two fugitive slaves who were being beaten so much that they only had breath out and no breath in from a distance, and then looked at the crowds of onlookers around him, Xiao Shi frowned, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop." ”

As soon as the evil slave who did it saw that it was Xiao Shi, he stopped the stick in his hand. Xiao Shi leaned over to Xiao San and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Xiao San smacked the husband and wife who fell to the ground: "It's cheap, you two bastards, the bad Lao Tzu lost his troops today." Come on, take these two fugitives back, and the rest of them will come with me. ”

Under the leadership of Wu Hou, this group of people continued to follow the traces of Zhang Chang and others all the way, like hunting dogs, unfolding a large net of searching.

The group of people in the distance saw a large goods store standing at the end of the South City, and the door of the goods store was holding a banner with a long banner, and the four big characters "Liujia Old Number" were written on it. The goods store is tall enough to have five wide door face, standing on the street, two storeys high, the front of the door is lined with cars and horses, the shop surface facing the street is under the paving board, you can see through the hall at a glance, the container behind the door is full of dazzling groceries from the north and south, what fur, ironware, etc., at a glance is a bulk trader.

"My lord, the brothers have already found out, and the group just now all entered the old number of the Liu family, and they have never come out." The dark sentry who had been in ambush for a long time saw Xiao Shi and hurriedly came over to report.

Before Xiao Shi could give an order, Xiao San had already gritted his teeth and opened his mouth first: "Fence me in front and back, and no one is allowed to let go." Xiao San's men heard the wind and moved, and began to outflank them in several ways.

Xiao Shi's subordinates looked at Xiao Shi, and Xiao Shi nodded. So the Wuhou also joined the action, but with a stick of incense, hundreds of people surrounded the warehouse.

"The people inside listen to me, we are the government handling cases, arresting bandits, and all the people inside will obediently come out for me to accept interrogation, otherwise, all of them will be punished as bandits, and those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot....... "The police have been handling cases throughout the ages as a routine, and in the face of this kind of encirclement war, of course, the cleaner the unrelated personnel are the better, and the chaos of the scene is controlled to a minimum. The second is to force the opponent to come out and surrender is the best policy, because the situation and structure inside are unclear, and the danger of rash entry will greatly increase.
