Chapter 192: Where is the face of the imperial court?
With Zhao Xiaoxi and others riding horses, several armed guards behind them dragged Wang Tianba, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and walked to Shihecheng County Ya without hurry. Those usually arrogant yacha look a little trembling when they walk at the moment.
At first, I felt that the news from the people in the fishing market was false, how could this dignified prince of the Song Dynasty come to this Shihe City in person. But seeing this scene like a street parade now, the people finally realized that this king had really planted his skin.
Soon after, those usually arrogant officials began to put up notices on the streets. Let the people of Shihe have any grievances, they can go to the county government to beat the drum and voice their grievances. At that time, the prince of Dasong County will personally try the case and give them justice.
As soon as the news came out, the people naturally walked the streets and alleys to deliver the good news. Many people who had been harmed by Wang Tianba began to rush to the county office. Soon I saw that the county lord was escorted in front of the county yamen, kneeling on the ground with an embarrassed look.
If it weren't for the fact that there were two fierce men watching, I was afraid that these people who came to sue would want to eat this Wang Tianba alive. At this moment, everyone stood quietly in front of the county yamen, looking at Wang Tianba with hatred on their faces.
Wang Tianba, who felt that death was coming for the first time, still saw the arrogant and domineering appearance of the past. That embarrassed look, it can be seen that this guy was a county master before.
In the face of more and more people, a strong man dressed as a warrior soon walked out and informed the people gathered here. People who have grievances can first go to the scholars they find and fill out the complaint to describe their grievances.
When the time comes, the prince of the county, who enters the county office, will personally intervene and hear the complaints of these people. If these grievances are not resolved for the people, the prince of the county will not leave the Shihe County Government for a day.
As soon as he said this, among the people who came to watch, a few people immediately came out. cried and shouted wrongful words, and was respectfully helped by several yacha. Those scholars told the case in front of them. When the pleadings were finished, they were invited to rest on the other side by the yacha.
Seeing that these people complained, and were not beaten with sticks as before, more and more people began to walk over. For a time, these officials of the county government were not enough, so they could only appease the people and line up. One by one, they came to write the complaint.
When the Shihe County Ya became as lively as the vegetable market, the cavalry went straight to several forbidden soldiers in Xinyang City. The fast horse whipped straight to the prefect's yamen in Xinyang City, and after arriving at the yamen and jumping off the horse, he directly raised the token of the forbidden army.
He yelled at those yachas: "We are the forbidden army of the imperial court, and we have summoned the prefect of Xinyang for important matters." Go and call your prefect to the main hall of the yamen to receive an urgent summons from the imperial court. β
As soon as he heard this, when he saw those tokens, the prefect's official also thought that his legs were not fast enough. Desperately ran to the back hall of the prefect, and the prefect of Xinyang, who was drinking tea and reading books in the back hall. Upon learning that the imperial forbidden army was summoned, he was immediately shocked.
Hurriedly put on official uniforms and hats, and came to the main hall of the yamen to meet those forbidden soldiers of the imperial court. Without waiting for him to speak, the leader of the forbidden army said directly: "You are the prefect of Xinyang?" β
The prefect of Xinyang was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Back to the top of the business, the lower official is Liu Kanyong, the prefect of Xinyang." I don't know what the mission is doing when he comes to Xinyang this time? β
The leading forbidden army was humble to him, and said without any expression: "Governor Liu, can you know this token?" β
Flip your hand and take out the gold medal that 'I am here in person'. Liu Kanyong's face immediately stiffened, and he immediately fell to his knees after turning his hand. He bowed his head and said: "Weichen Xinyang Prefect Liu Kanyong." See my emperor, long live, long live. β
Liu Kanyong, who shouted these words, began to quickly analyze in his heart, these forbidden soldiers are holding this kind of gold medal that I am here in. What does Xinyang do? It's not for everyone!
At this moment, the forbidden army holding the token quickly said: "Governor Liu, please get up!" β
As he spoke, Liu Kanyong hurriedly got up. Stand aside more respectfully, ready to listen to the orders of these forbidden soldiers. When he learned that the most favored king of Bashu County in the current imperial court was waiting for him in Shihe County, not far from Xinyang Prefecture.
Liu Kanyong knew that Shihe County must have a big problem. He, the prefect, will be criticized if he can't do it. When the forbidden army asked him to bring the criminal officer of the prefect's yamen with him, he knew that this criminal officer was also in big trouble.
Although he had never received a complaint about Shihe County, he knew that the concubine of this criminal officer was the sister of Wang Tianba, the commander of Shihe County. Now bring this brother-in-law with you, and if you think about it, you know that it must have been Wang Tianba who stabbed Lou Zi.
Looking at the urging of several forbidden soldiers, Liu Kanyong didn't dare to slack off at all, and sent someone to call the criminal officer. directly ordered him to be dismissed from his post and rushed to the territory of Shihe County.
And this criminal officer, at first, felt that this prefect who usually used him very seriously. Why don't you say a word, and immediately turn your face and don't recognize people. learned that something happened in Shihe County, or the prince of the imperial court personally ordered them to meet.
immediately knew that the eldest brother was afraid that he had pierced the sky. Offending a county prince, or a county prince who has just made a great contribution to the court, what is the difference between this and looking for death?
The criminal officer, who felt that the end was not far away, did not dare to have any resistance. Because he knows that resistance is also superfluous. Now he can only hope that it doesn't matter if he dies, and he must not affect his own family.
It's just that this kind of hope is almost an extravagant hope. In these days, it is almost impossible to see the people who are sending charcoal in the snow. There are many people who fall into the well. Once he falls as a criminal officer, will his family and clansmen have a good life?
Only brought a few yacha and didn't sit in a sedan chair, Liu Kanyong, who rode a horse directly, followed a few summoned forbidden soldiers. Hurried to Shihe County, and when he entered the street of Shihe County, he found that it had become a sea of people.
It wasn't until the forbidden army shouted 'The prefect has arrived' that these people panicked and gave way to a road. Looking at the parent official of Fucheng who he saw for the first time, he walked towards Shihe City very seriously.
As for the criminal officer, he was directly ordered by the forbidden army to kneel down with Wang Tianba. Listening to this eldest brother, I saw that he was still shouting 'brother-in-law, help'. The criminal officer couldn't help but kick it directly.
yelled: "You TM are looking for death, don't bother Lao Tzu!" Dare to offend the prince, your birthday star is tired of eating arsenic, right? If you don't want to live, then tell Lao Tzu that Lao Tzu will directly cut you with a knife, and you will be implicated in the province! β
This kind of anti-enemy look, the forbidden army who watched it didn't stop it much. And Wang Tianba saw that this brother-in-law turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, so he directly said the benefits he gave him without pulling it. The two were immediately tied hands and bit each other.
At this time, Liu Kanyong, who came to the main hall of the county ya, looked at the two young people sitting in the hall of the county ya. One sits in the lower guest seat, and the other sits directly above the main hall.
When the forbidden army stepped forward to reply, Liu Kanyong quickly knew that this young man with a serious face was sitting in the lobby. It is the king of Bashu County who has dealt with the Jiangnan case and fought a great victory in Lanzhou.
quickly bent down and saluted: "Xinyang prefect Liu Kanyong, see the king of Bashu County!" The prince of the unknown county is coming, and he is not welcomed. Please also ask the prince of the county to forgive his sins! β
Zhao Xiaoxi has never had a good impression of this kind of polite words. said very simply: "Liu Kan, this name is good." It's just that this king should say that it is not of great use, or is it useless?
This king called you here today and asked you a question, do you know the situation in Shihe County? If you do not know, the king will punish you for dereliction of duty. If you know, this king will remove you today. β
When these words came out, Liu Kanyong immediately bent down and saluted: "Back to the prince of the county, it will only be less than half a year for the lower officials to take office in Xinyang." Regarding the situation of Shihe, Xia Guan really doesn't know much.
It's just that no matter what, the Shihe River is an area under the jurisdiction of the lower officials, and if something happens, the lower officials are guilty of dereliction of duty. When this matter is settled, the lower officials will ask the court for their guilt! β
Liu Kanyong, who was neither humble nor arrogant, did not seem to be flustered. This time he took up the post of prefect of Xinyang, and he was transferred from other places. I really don't know much about the situation in the Lion River. Of course, I've heard of chasing after the wind and shadows!
Looking at Liu Kan with very calm eyes, Zhao Xiaoxi felt that if this person was not a great loyalty, he would be a traitor. However, he believes that Liu Kanyong is really involved in this matter. Whoever he was a protΓ©gΓ© and former official, he was to be convicted of his dismissal.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxi said: "For your words, this king estimates and believes you." It's just that what this king wants to say is that the imperial court appointed you as the prefect of Xinyang. However, the length of time in office, observing the people's feelings is the most basic principle for officials.
Calling you this time, this king only tells you two things, one is that this Wang County Commander has been angry and resentful in Shihetian. The people at the gate of the yamen handed over countless bloodstained grievances. As the prefect, you have to give an account to this side.
The second thing is Duan Yu, the son of the southern king of Dali Kingdom. This time, the king accompanied him to Shihe to look for a princess who lived in seclusion in Zhennan, but unexpectedly saw Wang Tianba and sent a yacha to loot.
You are the prefect of the imperial court, and you should understand that the imperial court and Dali are allies. Now that something like this has happened, what is the face of the imperial court. As a prefect, even if you don't know it, you can't escape the blame.
Originally, the prince planned to return to Dali and let the saint give Dali an explanation. For the sake of the king's face, the prince suppressed the anger in his heart and wanted to see what the sincerity of your prefect was.
These two things, this king and the prince personally watched you deal with them. If there is one thing that dissolves the king and the prince are not satisfied, you don't have to be the prefect. This king directly invited Chen Zhizhou and asked him to personally supervise the matter. β
As soon as these words came out, Liu Kan was scared out of his body with cold sweat. This Wang Tianba is really lustful, and even the dignified princess of Dali dares to stretch out her claws. What is this not looking for death?
But it doesn't matter if Wang Tianba is looking for death by himself, in this way, don't say that he, the prefect, is implicated. I'm afraid that the entire Henan Mansion will be killed by this guy. When this matter spreads, the entire Great Song Dynasty will lose face, and they can't afford to lose this person! (To be continued......)
