The ancient official system was divided into nine grades and eighteen levels, and the magistrate of the county was the seventh-grade official position, which was the thirteenth grade, and the "push official" was the twelfth official position from the sixth grade, in charge of various cases and trial cases.

The magistrate has received too much favor from the Wu University, or he has taken too much silver from the Wu University, and he has been an official for many years, and he knows that some things must not be broken, and he does not want to come to seize the workshop of the Wu University, but as the saying goes, the official is crushed to death at the first level, and the magistrate has not yet the right to refute the official's order.

Walking in with the voice, it was a team of salt and iron divisions.

They are from Dongping County, strictly speaking, from Dongping Prefecture, and the change between the government and the county is too fast, and the difference between the people is not very clear.

"Wu Daguan, come with us." The middle-aged catcher led by him said that he was going to lock up Wuda.

The crowd is surging.

There is an old saying that the poor mountains and bad waters make the people, in fact, this sentence was said by those in power to cover up their own atrocities, in this era, although the people live a difficult life, they are simple. Wuda usually takes care of the neighbors, and at the moment when he was about to be taken away by the official, there was no scene of the macaques scattering from the tree, and the villagers did not scatter in a hurry, on the contrary, they looked at each other, nodded silently, and unswervingly blocked in front of Wuda, protecting Wuda tightly.

The middle-aged catcher was furious: "Get out of the way!" ”

However, the villagers were unmoved.

The magistrate's face was gloomy, and he asked himself if he was arrested today, even if the villagers didn't clap their hands and applaud, no one would come to protect them.

The middle-aged catcher is about to go berserk, "It's the other way around, you're going to do it again!?" ”

This is shameless, the villagers are unarmed, and it is impossible to hook up with the crime of rebellion no matter what.

Wu Da almost burst into tears.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, and the ordinary people who dare to fight against officials in these years are too few and too few. These neighbors can do this for Wuhan University, which means that they identify with Wuhan University from the bottom of their hearts.

"I'll go with you."

The feelings of the neighbors are too rare, and Wuda doesn't want to let them be imprisoned because of their own affairs.

"Brother!"

Wu Song was in a hurry.

Wu Dawei shook his head and signaled him to be restless.

The crowd slowly separated, and the middle-aged face was extremely embarrassed, and he didn't show the slightest mercy to Wu Da, put on shackles, and escorted Wu Da out.

Wu Da glanced at Ximenqing and walked out obediently.

……

Jin Lian was not at home today, and when the New Year was approaching, she took Xiuhong out to buy New Year's goods, and when she came back, she heard that Wuda was taken away, and she immediately panicked.

Ximenqing, who had not spoken, finally spoke, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have already made up my mind with the boss about this matter, so I'll go and ask for reinforcements!" ”

Wu Song Huo Ran got up, "I'll go with you, if it doesn't work, I'll go to Liangshan to call someone to rob the prisoner!" ”

Ximen Qing finally showed the edge that had been covered by Wuda, glared, and said sharply:

"This matter has been arranged by the boss for a long time, you don't have to make trouble, look forward to the good news that my family is waiting for me!"

……

Dongping Mansion, Salt and Iron Division.

The road was muddy, and Wu Da and the others finally arrived at their destination.

The Northern Song Dynasty was based on the salt and iron household department as the three divisions, in charge of the overall planning of the country's finances, and became an important institution second only to the Zhongshu and the Privy Council, known as the "Ji Province", and the three divisions of the chief officials and three envoys were called "Ji Xiang", and their status was slightly lower than that of the governor, and their authority was great.

Although the pusher is only from the six-rank official position, but the promotion of the official first needs to be recommended, and the recommender must also be a real member of the court, so that everyone in the world knows that the pusher has a big background, and generally no one dares to underestimate these petty officials from the sixth-grade.

There are three types of cases that need to be heard, one is submitted by the people, the second is the case wholesaled by the higher-level organization, and the third is the review of the state and county cases. Since each county has a magistrate, under normal circumstances, the magistrate is not responsible for the cases submitted by the people, and the magistrate did not know about the arrest of Wuhan University this time, which means that it was a direct order from the higher authorities.

Wuda has never offended the officials of the imperial court, and all parties are extremely well placed, but if you want to become bigger and stronger, you will inevitably offend a group of businessmen, and these businessmen may be the distant relatives of the imperial officials, which indirectly offends them.

Thinking about these joints, he solved the confusion in Wuda's heart, and the culprit should be the Wang family who wanted to buy Xiuhong in Yicui Building.

Responsible for interrogating Wuhan University is Liang Shouye, the official of the Salt and Iron Division, with a square face, triangular eyes, a face full of "righteousness", and no smile.

"Wu Zhi, are you guilty!?"

The same is true of Wuhan University, "The grass people don't know what the adults are talking about, please give the adults a quote." ”

"Bold!"

Liang Shouye's triangular eyes glared, and he pretended to be angry, "You privately control and sell official salt to make ill-gotten gains; greedy and lustful, and spend a lot of money for a prostitute, it can be seen that you usually do a lot of harm to the women in the street; colluded with the small officials, for the sake of the township, the fish and the people, causing the citizens of Yanggu County to make a living, and they still did not admit their guilt!? ”

Wu Da was dumbfounded.

is worthy of being a capable minister of the Northern Song Dynasty court, and his tongue is like a spring, Wu Da racked his brains for these crimes, and he couldn't remember when he did it.

"Lord Qiqi, the grass people are terrified. The prostitute you are talking about is indeed the grass people who redeemed her life, but the grass people are not greedy for her beauty, but just help each other. Now that Xiuhong girl, the grass people have helped her get out of the cheap status in the county government of Yanggu County, and now she is the big shopkeeper in the grass people brewery. ”

Liang Shouye was stunned, and said casually: "If it weren't for the greed for beauty, who would let a prostitute be the big shopkeeper?" I don't know what to do! Besides, even if you can cover up the past in this matter, and the other charges are ironclad, how can you justify yourself? ”

Wu Da flicked his sleeves and said lightly: "Those are all unwarranted slanders, and the grass people don't need to justify." ”

Liang Shouye's triangular eyes were micro, and he said in a deep voice: "I think you have no way to defend it!" Only sell official salt privately, and the official can cut you first and then play! Come on, call me! ”

"Whoa!"

The four officials pressed Wu Da on a long bench, and they couldn't struggle at all because of Wu Da's small arms and legs.

However, he didn't shout for help, just restrained all the smiles on his face, and said to Liang Shouye with a cold face:

"Lord Liang, you beat me, don't regret it in the future!"

Liang Shouye was furious, "Call me!" ”

"Bang!"

"Ahh

Wu Da shouted out with a "whoosh" voice, which had nothing to do with backbone, it was really too painful for the thick killing rod to fall on his buttocks.

At this moment, a small official ran in and shouted:

"My lord, it's not good!"

At this point, he saw a large group of armored sergeants rampage and burst in.

A young horseman, armed with a spear, stepped on the door!
