Chapter 0031 - Arrest the Prisoner
Zhang Yue heard that He Fu had arrived, and hurriedly called Wen Yuankai to go to meet him. He Fujin had just arrived, he was sitting in the carriage and did not get down, the three hundred horsemen had not yet settled down, and they were waiting in line on the side.
Zhang Yue and Wen Yuankai stepped forward to salute and invited He Fu to live in the house where he lived temporarily, which could save a lot of trouble.
The two welcomed He Fujin into the house, and called the temporary servant to bring warm water, let He Fujin wash up, and sat in the hall for a while, He Fujin came out refreshed, and the slave served tea at the right time, and then withdrew.
"I don't want He Dashuai to go south so soon, I just need He Dashuai's help in my affairs here." Zhang Yue got straight to the point.
"Isn't it just about Tangzhou, what? You didn't dare to enter Tangzhou? He Fujin put down the teacup and wondered.
"Yes! Nor is it ...... Compared with Li Yanzhang's smuggling of armor, there is a more important thing, Fangcheng County, Tangzhou, ordered Chen Shouyu to recruit a large number of people to open a gold mine privately, this gold mine has a large reserve, and it is open-pit and easy to mine. Zhang Yue explained.
"Since Qianyou, the DPRK and China have been unable to pay enough for fiscal revenue, and this gold mine can solve the urgent need." Wen Yuankai was overjoyed, and immediately took out the sample and presented it to He Fujin to see.
"Haha...... There is such a thing, this Chen Shouyu is really daring! The gold mine must be returned to the Shaofu Prison, and Li Xianggong, who sentenced the third division, is going to be happy! He Fujin picked up the gold nugget and looked at it, and laughed when he heard it.
"But this matter of gold mine and armor may involve Marquis Hou Zhang, the commander of Wusheng Festival, so the juniors have too few troops in their hands, and they are a little at a loss!" Zhang Yue said the difficulty.
"It doesn't matter! This matter can't involve Hou Zhang, and soon after he arrives in office, there will be rhetoric, if you really want to bring him to justice, Your Majesty will also have some scruples, you have to think about it comprehensively, understand! He Fujin smiled and said.
"So, we can go directly to the decree and get people?" Zhang Yue's heart moved, and he understood what He Fujin meant. The marshal of one town was punished, and the marshal of the other town would be sad, worried that the impact would be too great, but Zhang Yue did not think so, and the official violated the law and should be punished more seriously.
"So be it! The old man wrote a letter to Hou Zhang, he should appreciate it, of course, as soon as this happened, he had to change his seat! He Fujin said with a smile.
"That's good! We'll listen to you! Does Wen Yushi have any objections? Zhang Yue looked at Wen Yuankai, after all, he was the superintendent of the imperial history, and he was just an entourage.
"That's the best!" Wen Yuankai nodded in agreement.
He Fujin immediately spread out the pen and paper, wrote a letter to Hou Zhang, and sent his own soldiers to Dengzhou. After discussing the itinerary again, they decided to rest here for a day before heading south, because it would take at least two days for the soldiers to deliver the letter.
Three days later, Wen Yuankai followed He Fujin south to Tangzhou Prefecture to govern Biyang, arrested Li Yanzhang, confiscated his family property, and deported Tokyo to wait for the fate, of course, he did not have this power, but He Fujin, as a marshal, plus the same Pingzhang, it is okay.
Zhang Yue led the troops to Fangcheng County, which can be described as a light car, and sent Yang Shouzhen to lead three into Niutouzhai to block the mine, and he led his troops into the county seat, both of which were divided into five teams with a total of 250 people, and blocked the streets on all sides of the county government with four teams, and Zhang Yue led his own troops to go straight to the county government.
"What are you? Who are you......" When the county magistrate heard the news, he ran out to inspect it, and when he found that the situation was not good, he stood in front of the county government and asked loudly.
"This official is the commander of the former Si San of the palace, and he was ordered to come to arrest the suspect, where is Chen Shouyu, the commander of Fangcheng County?" Zhang Yue rushed to the county government to stop the war, speared in the saddle, and shouted loudly.
Several small officials looked at each other, and one of them saw the clue and quickly ran in to report the news. After a while, an old man in a light green and thin black flower official robe trotted out to salute with the hem of his robe in fear.
"Under the official city and county order Chen Shouyu ......"
"Take off your official uniform and tie it up!" Since the identity is confirmed, then take the person directly, why talk nonsense, Zhang Yue is very simple.
Li Deliang and Zhang Zhixing had already prepared the rope and quickly rushed forward to get people. However, these two stupid people, one was a hawker and the other was a young man, it was too unprofessional to do this kind of thing, so they rudely took off Chen Shouyu's robe, and with a loud sound, their clothes were torn in two clicks, and Chen Shouyu was pressed to the ground, making a whoow yell, and this scene couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"Two stupid people...... Get back! Let Xue Wenqian get on! Zhang Yue felt his face burn and shouted angrily.
Sure enough, although Xue Wenqian was also unfamiliar, he was a martial artist, Ming Jinrong was a veteran, and he had also been a scout, and the two of them tied Chen Shouyu like a big dumpling.
"Ascension!" Zhang Yue shouted, feeling that being an official was his mother's majesty.
Li Deliang was not good at being a soldier, but he was very clever, and immediately rushed into the county office with his own soldiers. Zhang Yue then dismounted, and stepped into the gate of the county government in a big way, and then passed the main hall on the door of the instrument, and saw a horizontal plaque hanging on the back wall of the desk of the county office, with four gilded characters on it.
I don't know what it means, Zhang Yue swaggered down, picked up the startling wood and slapped it, and shouted: "So the county officials, all come to hear the trial, there must be no mistakes!" ”
The pro-soldiers were also coarse, and they made a cameo appearance in the official service temporarily, and shouted along. The officials of the city and county below were incomprehensible, so they had to come to the lobby tremblingly and wait to hear the fate.
"Where is the county officer, the county lieutenant, and the main book? That's right...... And the Prison! Bring it on! Zhang Yue is still very clear about the county-level officials, except for the county order, the rest are all nine grades or from the nine grades, and even all the grades are not in the stream, and decided to interrogate them one by one, and suddenly remembered the bearded prison guard Li Dayou who led the way a few days ago, maybe the breakthrough is in this person.
The four of them were taken to the lobby and made eye contact with each other, probably trying to find a way to get away with it, right? Zhang Yue sneered in his heart.
"Take it down! Let's hit the 20 big boards first! Zhang Yue said expressionlessly.
"The general spares his life! The villain Li Dayou, who is just watching the prison cell, doesn't know about the gold mine! "The bearded warden looks very powerful, but it turns out to be a straw bag, and he starts shouting before he can ask questions.
Zhang Yue didn't want to listen to it for the time being, waved his hand and left, looking at the three people below: "Tell me honestly, how long has Niutouzhai gold been mined?" ”
The three of them hesitated, they didn't want to say it first, and in the end, the county lieutenant was smarter, knowing the East Window incident, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to deny it, so he replied first: "Back to the general's words, it has been mined for a year and a half!" The income is shared with the Dengzhou Marshal's Mansion, the State Government and the county, the Marshal's Mansion gets 40%, the State Government gets 30%, and the county also gets 30%, and the villains are just ordered to do things. ”
"Nonsense! Hou Dashuai has only been in office for less than half a year, how do you know about this, it must be you who are doing something wrong with the state government. And also...... Privately apportioning taxes, deducting the income of silkworm salt, perverting the law for bribes, and tyrannizing the people, nothing more than this! Come! Put me in a cell! ”
The three Jiupin officials were immediately imprisoned, Zhang Yue was angry, in fact, he was extremely happy in his heart, it turned out that being a county commander could be so majestic!
The next thing is to be done, let them sign the confession and draw the charge, and then send it to Biyang County, the prefecture, to see whether they will be escorted to Tokyo with the state government assassin Shi and other criminal officials, or whether the court will send an envoy to come to the trial and behead them on the spot, which will wait for the will of the DPRK and China.
