Chapter 76: Find a few timid ones
Shangcai Prison is located in the northwest of the city near the city wall.
Outside the cell are two north-south streets.
Corresponding to the main entrance of the prison is one of the busiest streets.
The events of the night and the morning have spread in the market.
The people of Shangcai, who hated officials to the core, couldn't imagine what Yuan Xu was considering, and when they learned that all the officials were arrested, the people rushed to tell each other, and many people were even overjoyed.
led a few soldiers to the prison under the reverent gaze of the people, Zhang Nan also felt that Yuan Xi had done a good job!
has followed the second son for many years, how could Yuan Xi have been so loved?
After entering the prison, Zhang Nan saw many men and women standing next to each other in the courtyard.
The men and women who were detained by Yuan Jun were still very brightly dressed because they had not yet been put into the prison cells, but their expressions were very sad.
Jiang Jian sat behind a low table in the courtyard, looking through the prisoner roster.
"Ting Peng, General Zhang is here!" The prison door opened, and a soldier saw Zhang Nan enter and whispered a reminder.
glanced back, and saw that it was really Zhang Nan who had entered, and Jiang Jian hurriedly got up to greet him.
"General Zhang!" Bowing down, Jiang Jian asked, "This is a place for prisoners, why did the general come?" ”
"On the order of the second son, say a few words to Ting Peng." Zhang Nan arched his hand: "Annoying Lao Tingpeng to select officials, those who have political achievements and are not much evil, the officials will be reinstated!" Those who bully men and women and have no political achievements will be thrown into the prison cell, and the second son will fall by himself! ”
Yuan Xi summoned Jiang Jian and asked him to search for any officials other than Zhen Yi who had bad deeds.
It was precisely because of this sentence that Jiang Jian let go of his hands and feet and arrested Shangcai officials cleanly!
Some of them were sent to the countryside to be captured.
Searching all night and arresting countless people, Shangcai Prison has never been as lively as it is today!
The permission given the day before was changed the next day, and Jiang Jian was very puzzled.
He didn't receive the order immediately, he asked tentatively, "Did the second prince really say so?" ”
The arrest was clean, but all the officials named by him, regardless of men, women, and children in the family, were all served in one pot!
According to Yuan Xiding's standard screening, there are many who need to be released.
has already offended these people, and without Yuan Xi's support in the future, he is afraid that Tingpeng will be struggling!
"Ting Peng believes in a certain thing?" With a frown, Zhang Nan's tone changed slightly.
"Don't dare!" Jiang Jian hurriedly said: "The general is the person next to the second son, how dare you not believe it." Just ......"
"Just what?"
"Shangcai officials, if they are according to a certain opinion, they can be punished!"
"Jiang Tingpeng doesn't have to go against the will of the second son?" With a glaring eye, Zhang Nan's hand had pressed the hilt of the sword.
Tension was raging, Jiang Jian no longer dared to dwell on this matter, and hurriedly said: "The general is not to stay, and he will go to screen immediately!" ”
Seeing Jiang Jian walk towards the low table, Zhang Nan snorted coldly.
As an official in Shangcai, he is very familiar with the officialdom in this place, and Jiang Jian did not spend much effort to select a group of officials.
The selected officials and their families were separated from the crowd by Yuan Jun's custody.
With his hands on his hips, Zhang Nan shouted to the selected people: "Wait and listen!" Shang Cai's rule is not clear, and the second son will invite you and others to come, just for selection! But all those who have done evil in the past will be imprisoned for the time being, and they will be punished in the future. There are not many evils in you, and you have some political achievements in the past, so forgive! ”
Upon learning of the pardon, the selected officials and family members wept bitterly one by one, shouting with great gratitude for the grace of the second son of Xie not to kill!
"Wait for the officials to be reinstated, and go back to each other!" With a wave of his hand, Zhang Nan shouted: "What should I do in the future, Zhen County will tell you to wait!" ”
Saving one's life is a blessing in disguise.
The official was reinstated, and when he heard these four words, many people were stunned on the spot!
They were not glad that they had kept their official positions, but they were muttering in their hearts.
The official almost lost his life, and after reinstatement, many people were uneasy.
Zhen Yi had to do the follow-up things, and Zhang Nan didn't explain too much to them, and waved his hand to Yuan Jun, who was guarding the prisoners.
Pushing and shoving the elected officials and their families, Yuan Jun kicked them out of prison.
Out of the prison gate, how can these people have the slightest delay.
Help the old and the young, and the smoke is gone!
A group of people were let go, and the crowd that was not released was suddenly chaotic!
The man shouted injustice, the woman and the child cried and shook the world, and Zhang Nan, who was noisy, was upset.
Zhang Nan just frowned.
Before he could give any orders, a group of Yuan soldiers rushed into the crowd, pushed several men who shouted the hardest injustice to the ground, and slapped them hard.
The sound of "snapping" slaps shocked the crowd.
The woman and the child opened their frightened eyes and their mouths wide open, and they really did not dare to make any more sounds.
Some women hugged their children tightly and looked at Yuan Jun like demons, fearing that the children would be snatched away.
"All in jail!" No one went to snatch their children, Zhang Nanyi waved his hand and gave an order.
Yuan Jun drove the crowd into the cell like a cow or a sheep.
"Are there any cowards left of these people?" Seeing the crowd of people being driven into the cell, Zhang Nan asked Jiang Yin.
"The Woman and the Child ......"
"It's an official!" Zhang Nan interrupted Jiang Yin.
"Surrender the king to the bottom of the door!" Jiang Jian reported a name.
"Pick a few more!" Noting down his name and official position, Zhang Nan said: "Just one person is still not enough. ”
I don't understand why he is looking for a timid official, Jiang Jian reported a few more names.
Zhang Nan instructed a Yuan Jun: "Bring these people to see so-and-so!" ”
The soldier answered and went to the cell.
Zhang Nan's behavior was so strange that Jiang Jian didn't understand why he did it.
However, he is the person next to Yuan Xi after all.
If you need a timid official, you must have been assigned by Yuan Xi!
To rectify the Cai officials, Jiang Jian also relied on Yuan Xi's forces.
Yuan Xi's meaning, of course he will not disobey!
Selecting a few people, Zhang Nan did not greet Jiang Yin, and walked straight to the cell.
Seeing Zhang Nan, Jiang Jian was a little puzzled!
What exactly is Yuan Xi going to do?
First, he ordered all the people to be arrested, and then he changed his mind overnight and did what to choose.
This will bring cowardly officials to trial again!
was puzzled, but Jiang Yin didn't want to think about it.
Shang Cai's rule is chaotic, as long as the moths can be brought to justice, he is satisfied!
The men and women who were herded into the cells were held in cubicles with wooden fences.
The two rows of compartments are symmetrical to each other, forming a dark and narrow passage in the middle.
Walking in the passage, Zhang Nan's ears were full of cries of men, women and children.
Yuan Jun, who was following him, banged on the fence with a leather whip and yelled at the crying people: "Don't cry fucking!" ”
Most people were frightened by the vicious Yuan Jun, and they only dared to sob, not to let out a loud howl.
There were only a few young children, who were scared to cry louder because of Yuan Jun's shouting!
