Chapter 275: A Way to Live
Zhang Yuan suddenly understood when he heard it, something may be wrong, and he doesn't know where it is! It's just that Chen Yuan is talking endlessly now, and Bao Zheng also lets him continue, which is obviously very unfavorable to himself!
Zhang Yuan immediately said: "Master Bao, it's not too early at this time, when do you plan to interrogate?" ”
Chen Yuan seemed to be too excited as he had just said, and at this time he actually stood up violently and glared at Zhang Yuan: "It's not you who passed the hall!" What are you anxious about? This is the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and it's not a party item! Even if this is a party item, you're just a dog. ”
Zhang Yuan was furious: "What did you say? Lord Bao, Chen Shimei insulted me so much, it is an insult to our party envoys, and to insult our Fanbang envoys is to insult the party! Insult Fanbang! Please punish him for his felony! ”
A guard quietly flashed out from behind the screen, and the guard walked up to Bao Zheng and whispered in his ear, Bao Zheng immediately nodded: "Enough!" Don't say it again, it's over today, choose to say a retrial! Chen Shimei despised the court, severely punished the 20th board, and fined 1,000 yuan! ”
Zhang Yuan was obviously very dissatisfied with the result of such a treatment, saying that Chen Yuan insulted Fanbang, while Bao Zheng only set a contempt court, and everyone knew the difference. Bao Zheng's meaning of protection has been revealed!
Chen Yuan was even more fearless, looked back at Linghua standing in the witness stand, and opened his mouth to say: "Linghua, do you bring any money?" ”
Linghua was honest and took out the money bag to count the money, but Bao Zheng said: "Chen Shimei, you don't have to worry about the fine, the official will collect it!" ”
Chen Yuan said: "No, Master Bao, I want to ask her how much she brought, whether it is enough for me to scold a few more words." ”
Renzong behind the screen almost laughed out loud when he heard this, and most of the people listening in the hall couldn't control it, Pang Ji was drinking tea, and the tea came up again before it went down, almost choking the old Pang to death.
Bao Zheng patted the stunned wood: "Nonsense! Come on, put Chen Shimei in prison and retire! ”
Withdrawn like this? Everyone was a little dazed in their hearts, including Chen Yuan, who didn't say a word, and didn't even say when Bao Zheng would be in the next hall, so he went down unclearly.
Chen Yuan's heart is even more up and down, compared to the fight against the water when he came to the water without any hope at all, now after the sudden appearance of vitality, he is not so calm. Behind the screen, is the emperor satisfied with his performance? Is he happy to coax himself? Chen Yuan really wanted to know.
If the 20th board is really played, Chen Shimei's body can't bear it at all! Fortunately, those officials were merciful, and they left seven points of strength when they were fighting, and Chen Yuan didn't feel much pain after being beaten. Back in the prison, Chen Yuan was warmly welcomed by the gang in the prison, because few people who went out in this place could come back. Especially after Bao Zheng came to Dali Temple, the speed of interrogation of the case was quite fast, like Chen Yuan, who had not yet been tried after a while, Bao Zheng's subordinates were really the first case.
"Brother, how's my brother?" The fat man's expression was as if he was on trial himself, anxious to know the answer.
No way, it's boring here, and the news that you bring back from going out alone is enough to talk about it here for a long time. After Chen Yuan entered his private room, he sat down on the ground and relaxed his mood first.
The fat man asked again: "What the hell is going on, brother, you speak!" ”
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly and said softly, "How do I know? After the interrogation was not finished in the morning, Mr. Bao said that he would choose to retry the trial. ”
There was a prisoner inside who stayed for a longer time, and after listening to it, he said: "No, brother, Lord Bao's interrogation has always been very fast, but your case is not finished?" I don't think it's that the trial has not been completed, it must be that Master Bao is still hesitating whether to kill you or not! ”
The people here are very experienced in this area, and Chen Yuan immediately turned his head to look at him: "Brother, when is the next time?" ”
The man shook his head: "Not necessarily! But brother, let me tell you, if Lord Bao interrogates you again within ten days, you may be dead. If you put it after ten days, then you might be able to live. ”
The prisoners around him all looked at Chen Yuan with a look of envy, but Chen Yuan still couldn't understand why this bar was ten days?
The man explained: "Ten days, is the time for the catchers to collect evidence again, if they find evidence within ten days to kill you, they will immediately let you pass the court, if you don't let you pass the court within ten days, it means that the catchers have not found new evidence, then congratulations brother, it is likely to be assigned to the Cangzhou battalion." ”
Cangzhou Camp is a famous "labor farm" in the Great Song Dynasty, and the prisoners here are basically felons, and those prisoners do heavy physical work every day, and the supervision is also very strict. However, for these people in Dali Temple Prison, Cangzhou Camp is heaven.
There is a sun to see there, and it keeps them alive.
The fat man said with envy: "Brother, I have an acquaintance in Cangzhou Camp, named Liu Xuan, this guy has been gone for a year, if you can go, find him, report my name, and he will definitely take care of you." ”
Chen Yuan also smiled, no matter what, he has hope now, what are he going to do now? Now I'm going to continue to write lyrics for Rhombusa! Keep making a splash outside!
On the way back from the arrest this time, a few arresters asked themselves about the "Water Tune Song Head", and the effect was good. Since this trick works well, then continue to use it, one song a day! Send out all the good words of Xiao Su that you know! What will Xiao Su do in the future? Then Chen Yuan didn't care about him. He is a talented person, when there is no bright moon, he can still write about the stars.
The rest of the matter depends on whether Renzong is comfortable or uncomfortable to be photographed by himself today.
Renzong was photographed very comfortably, and he was in a very good mood, and Chen Yuan left a good impression in his heart. From the first time he saw Chen Yuan being escorted into the lobby, he felt that Chen Yuan was very special. Renzong noticed a detail, that is, the collar of Chen Yuan's clothes under his prison uniform was also clean.
Not to mention death row inmates, even ordinary prisoners will look sloppy after being locked up for a few days. This Chen Shimei actually paid attention to her life in that kind of environment, which made Renzong a little admired.
And Renzong, who was patted by Chen Yuan's sycophants, was very useful. Even so, Renzong thought about it for two whole days, but he still couldn't make a final decision.
Renzong really wanted to let Chen Yuan live, although he said that he was afraid of war, but he knew very well in his heart that war was not something that could be avoided by killing a businessman like Chen Shimei, if Li Yuanhao really peeked at the Great Song Dynasty in the future, without the excuse of Chen Shimei, he could still find other reasons.
Just like the current Liao State, Yelu Gollu came to negotiate with the intention of asking the Song Dynasty not to give any support to the party in the impending war. But Jermane's excuse was to redraw the border between the two sides.
The issue of the border has already been surveyed, and an alliance was signed with the Empress Dowager Xiao when Zhenzong was in time, but the Liao people slowly broke this contract year by year. Every year, their soldiers continued to invade the places belonging to the Great Song Dynasty, plundering the inhabitants of the Great Song Dynasty back to the Liao Kingdom, leaving the villages that had been inhabited by the inhabitants empty, and the crops and fields becoming overgrown with weeds, and then their horses' hooves stepped into it. Then, it was said to the Song Dynasty that the place should be theirs, and the boundaries of the border naturally needed to be re-surveyed.
Of course, the Song Dynasty would not agree, so there was a dispute between the two sides, and in the case of a dispute, they negotiated, and the result was either that the Song Dynasty retreated and lost its territory, or that it gave the Liao State a certain amount of compensation in other forms to ensure that the land was still in their own hands.
And the next year, the Liao State would raise new controversies, and it would be endless. This time, what Yelu Gollu proposed was ten counties south of Waqiao Pass.
Waqiao Pass may not be familiar to everyone, Waqiao Pass is in the middle of the Hebei Plain, built in the last years of the Tang Dynasty to defend the Khitan, and later because of the war in the Central Plains, it was occupied by the Khitans, and it was recovered in the early Song Dynasty. With the Yijin Pass and the Sikou Pass in the northeast, it is collectively called the Three Passes.
Renzong knew that the Liao State was a drunkard, and he didn't mean to drink, which was the forefront of the Song Dynasty's defense of the Khitan, how could he be willing to concede to the Liao State? The Liao people proposed this place, apparently to force the Song Dynasty to be tighter and achieve more benefits during negotiations. Of course, if you can really bring the wine, that's the best.
The abacus of the Liao people is very wishy-washy, but Renzong's concept is also very firm, there is nothing to talk about in Sanguan, and not an inch of land can be given up there! Especially now that the party has also risen, it has become a place where the three kingdoms must fight.
Those Liao people must also know this, so they came to negotiate not about the border, but about war. Renzong was even able to guess the condition that Yelu Nianglu had offered, that is, the army of the Great Song Dynasty would retreat from the Song-Liao border, so that the Liao State could feel more at ease. Of course, they will also squeeze a lot of money to make themselves pay for the war.
Money is not a problem, the Song Dynasty had money and had a lot of money. But that is the money of the Song Dynasty, there is no reason to be blackmailed by others! Even if you have to pay some, try to pay as little as possible. The retreat of the border army is even more impossible, and the retreat of the Liao people is a lot more relieved, but Renzong is not at ease.
The negotiations between the two sides had just begun, and everything was as Renzong had expected, and after throwing out the border issue, Yelu Gollu immediately proposed a solution, that is, the Song Dynasty ceded the ten counties in the south of Waqiaoguan to the Liao State.
Song Qi would never agree to this, and the positions of the two sides could not be reconciled, so Yelu Nie Gulu threw out a second solution, that is, the Song Dynasty withdrew the Sanguan troops and restored them to their original status after the end of the war between Liao and Dangxiang. At the same time, during this period of time, the Liao State on the border of Liao and Song increased a lot of troops in order to guard against the Song Dynasty, and the military expenses of these people were paid by the Song Dynasty.
Song Qi's eloquence is still very good, and he has put a lot of effort into the negotiation, and strives to use this success to redeem the honor he lost last time. And he felt that this was a very good opportunity for him! Because the Great Song Dynasty can drag it out, but the Liao Kingdom can't afford it! Once the war starts, if the Liao State still has to pay attention to the Song-Liao border, it will be very unfavorable to the Liao State. Therefore, Song Qi thinks that it should be Yelu Glolu who is anxious now.
However, the situation far exceeded Song Qi's expectations, and Yelu Ne threatened war at every turn, which made Song Qi feel very stunned.
