Chapter 155: The cell is full
Kaifeng Prefecture under the jurisdiction of fifteen counties, Shangshuizhuang belongs to one of the Kaifeng County, Kaifeng and Xiangfu two counties belong to Tokyo attached Guo County, the so-called attached Guo County, that is, the county government and the state capital are in the same city, later generations have "three lives of misfortune, know the county attached to Guo" said, the reason why this is said is mainly because the county government and the state government Yamen are in the same city, many powers cross, and the county government does not dare to fight with the boss, so can only tolerate everywhere, there is merit to let the leader first, with the black cauldron, the county government is the first back, it can be said that the most unlucky, Therefore, as the county magistrate of Fuguo County, he had the unfortunate words of three lives.
Shangshui Zhuang continued to make trouble, although those thieves no one dared to steal Zhao Yan's courtyard, but the tenants in the Zhuangzi suffered, one of them was stolen dozens of catties of cabbage, lost twenty or thirty times, in addition, in order to prevent thieves, the young people in the Zhuangzi are also patrolling day and night, usually there are outsiders entering the village during the day, and it will also lead people in the Zhuangzi to be on guard, in their opinion, now as long as they are not in the Zhuangzi, they are suspected of being thieves.
What's even more annoying is that some of the thieves who were caught by "No Mistakes" were sent to the official, and they were quickly released, and then came to steal again, which Zhao Yan was angry and ordered that as long as the thief was caught for the second time, all of them would break one leg and put it back, but it was not a way to go on like this, Zhao Yan and Cao Ying discussed it, and decided to go to Kaifeng County in the city to run a trip, and ask why they released people so quickly, and even if it really didn't work, they used their power to suppress people, and they didn't believe it. A small county magistrate dares to go against his own dignified county king?
Early this morning, Zhao Yan asked people to prepare a car to enter Tokyo City. Then came to the Kaifeng County Government located in the east of the city, note that the county government is not the government office, the famous Kaifeng Mansion does not refer to here, but refers to the Kaifeng Mansion located in the west of the city, Bao Zheng used to be the government Yin there, but unfortunately Zhao Yan crossed the other party has been dead for many years.
Zhao Yan did not inform the people of the county government in advance, but took a carriage directly to the gate of the county office, got out of the car and took a look, only to see that the county government was built very magnificently, and the two tall red lacquered wooden doors had been opened. There are officials standing guard in front of the door. In addition, there are two stone beasts standing in front of the door, which do not look like lions, and they look very powerful with their teeth and claws.
There is a saying that "the entrance of the yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money". However, this sentence is only for ordinary people. For a powerful person like Zhao Yan. It didn't apply at all, so after he got out of the carriage, he walked directly to the yamen. The two guards at the door saw Zhao Yan's carriage and the demeanor on his body, and they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to stop it, and only after Zhao Yan went in did they trot inside to report to the top.
After Zhao Yan entered the county office, he immediately asked people to notify the county magistrate to see him, and then sat on the chair next to the lobby, as for the chair in the main hall, he didn't dare to sit on it, it was an official position, except for the magistrate of the county, no one was allowed to sit, even if the boss of the magistrate came, then he had to find a seat next to him, although Zhao Yan was the king of the county, he didn't dare to violate this kind of taboo in officialdom.
However, what Zhao Yan didn't expect was that the person who went to inform not only failed to bring the magistrate, but also did not even bring the county magistrate and the lord in the county, but only brought a small capital, and what surprised him even more was that this capitalist was still his old acquaintance.
"Dynasty? Why are you here? Zhao Yan looked at the bearded middle-aged man who came over, and immediately asked with some surprise, the other party is the master dynasty who was transferred by Zhao Shu to cooperate with Zhao Yan to solve the case, but Zhao Yan remembered that the dynasty seemed to be the capital of Kaifeng Mansion, why did he appear in the county government now?
"Humble to meet the king of the county!" When Wang Chao saw Zhao Yan sitting there, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and saluted, although the two of them did not cooperate for a long time last time, but Wang Chao also figured out Zhao Yan's character, and knew that this county king had no fight, of course, the premise is that you don't provoke him, otherwise the consequences will be very strict.
"Excuse me!" Zhao Yan looked at the dynasty at this time, and saw that the other party was not much different from the last time they first met, although he was wearing official clothes, he was still so sloppy, but then he asked strangely, "Aren't you the head of Kaifeng Mansion, why are you in the county government?" ”
Hearing Zhao Yan's question, I saw that Wang Chao wiped the beard on his lips a little depressed, and then said with a wry smile: "The king of the county doesn't know, the villain was unfavorable to handle the case some time ago, and he has not been able to solve the case, but he was driven from Kaifeng Mansion to Kaifeng County by Shangguan in anger, but it is not bad here, it is much more idle than Kaifeng Mansion, and I can also have time to go home and spend more time with my son." ”
Hearing that the dynasty was demoted and came here, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, speaking of which, the other party's case-solving skills are indeed very clever, such a talent was demoted, it was definitely a loss for Kaifeng Mansion, but at the same time, he was also a little curious, what kind of case did the dynasty can't solve?
"The king of the county, I don't know what you are doing when you come to our small county office today, and why do you want to see our county magistrate and lord?" Wang Chao asked again at this time.
"Oh, yes." Zhao Yan then remembered the purpose of his coming to the county office, and immediately patted his head and said, "Why don't you know the county, why don't they come, just let you catch the head and come out to see the king, is it possible that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty have such a big shelf now?" ”
Seeing that Zhao Yan was a little angry, Wang Chao hurriedly explained: "Don't blame the county king, it's not that they don't come to see the county king, but they were called to Kaifeng Mansion early this morning to be scolded. ”
"I'll rub!" Zhao Yan was also stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect his luck to be so bad, he finally came to the air once, could it be that he went to Kaifeng Mansion again? However, in order to alarm Kaifeng Mansion for such a trivial matter as a thief, it is really a bit of a fuss, and it will make it more difficult for several officials of the county government to do it.
Just when Zhao Yan sighed that he was unlucky, he saw Wang Chao smile and asked: "Looking at the appearance of the county king, it seems that there is something to see and let the county magistrate deal with it, and now that the county magistrate is not here, it is better for you to tell the matter to be lowly and lowly to do it, maybe the humble duty can help you do it, and you will not have to run again." ”
Zhao Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, the dynasty is the head of the county government, and he is already in charge of public security, so it is more appropriate to find him than to find the county. Thinking of this, Zhao Yan told about the successive thieves in Shangshui Village, especially the fact that those thieves had been sent to the county government after being caught, but they were released to steal again a few days later.
"Dynasty, that's the way it is, your county government is really not authentic, obviously my tenants have caught the thief, and then sent it to you, but you are good, and after a few days, you will be released again, if you don't make this matter clear to this king, don't blame me for suing Kaifeng Mansion!" After Zhao Yan finished telling what happened, he asked angrily again.
When Wang Chao heard that His Royal Highness the county king had come because of this incident, he also smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know the county king, our county government is also suffering now, and the reason why those thieves were released after a few days was mainly because the cell was already full, and there was really no place to hold the prisoners, so the thieves who stole a small number or failed to steal successfully were generally released after a beating." ”
"Not enough cells?" When Zhao Yan heard this somewhat strange news, he couldn't react for a while, and only after a long time did he say with an incredible face, "How many people have been arrested by your county government, how can you fill all the cells?" ”
Speaking of the prison cell, I saw that the dynasty was also quite helpless and said: "You don't know the county king, the prison cells of the county government are usually not used up at all, half of them are empty, and there is naturally no shortage of cells at that time, but there is a big event during this time, for which we have arrested a lot of people, and now not only our Kaifeng County government cells are full, but the cells of Xiangfu County and even Kaifeng Mansion in the east are probably full." ”
Zhao Yan was also startled when he heard that so many people had been arrested at once, and hurriedly asked, "What happened, why didn't I hear the slightest rumor?" ”
Seeing Zhao Yan's worried look, Wang Chao smiled and said, "It's normal that you haven't heard any rumors, because although this matter is a big deal for us, it is a trivial matter for you. ”
Wang Chao said, and finally told the reason for the matter, but Zhao Yan only relieved his mind after hearing it, in fact, the reason for the matter is very old-fashioned, Kaifeng City has a bright side, and naturally there is also a dark side, such as those hooligans and ruffians, in order to improve their own strength, they organized a lot of gangs, in the words of later generations, they are underworld gangs.
Originally, these gangs had their own fixed spheres of influence, and although there was friction between them, they were also peaceful, but they didn't expect that just half a month ago, the young gang leader of the Tiger Gang, known as one of the four major gangs in Tokyo, was hacked to death, and his limbs were severed, which can be said to be a very tragic death.
What's worse is that the young gang leader actually died on the territory of the Bianhe Gang, which has always been against the Tiger Gang, and the leader of the Tiger Gang, Liu Laohu, is such a son, naturally he is in pain, and he immediately led people to fight with the Bianhe Gang, the Bianhe Gang is also one of the four major gangs in Tokyo, although they have repeatedly claimed that they did not kill Liu Laohu's son, but Liu Laohu, who killed the red eye, did not believe it at all, and in the end, the Bianhe Gang could only helplessly fight back.
If it was just the Tiger Gang and the Bianhe Gang, it would be easy to do, but then I don't know what happened, and the other two big gangs, that is, the Jinshui Gang and the Yulin Gang, were involved, and the four big gangs fought together, making the security of Tokyo very bad, for this situation, Kaifeng Mansion Yin was furious, and immediately ordered Xiangfu County and Kaifeng County to arrest people, as a result, for a time the gangs of the four major gangs filled the cell, so the thieves caught in Shangshui Zhuang will be caught and released.
Just when Wang Chao explained to Zhao Yan the chaos in the underground world of Tokyo City, he suddenly saw a lot of officials escorting a group of people in, and then he saw Wang Dynasty smile bitterly and said to Zhao Yan again: "King of the county, please look, these are just arrested today, and the level is not low, I hope they can calm down after being imprisoned for a while." ”
Zhao Yan was also looking at these pioneers of the underworld of the Great Song Dynasty at this time, but suddenly he saw a familiar figure in the crowd of people who were arrested, which made him stunned, and he couldn't help but say to himself at the moment: "Why is he?" (To be continued......)
