Chapter 139: The Road to Beijing (5)
>Chapter 139 Return to the Beijing Road
After working until midnight, he took a confession, Zhu Ruzhou signed and drew a charge, and the magistrate and Yicheng also stamped their official seals, Zhao Ta read it again, and found no mistakes, so he collected the confession and said: "You have worked hard, after I enter Beijing, I will ask for credit for you."
"Xie Wang Ye cultivated" Zhixian and Yicheng bowed down to thank him, but his mouth was more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis, and he was involved in this matter, and it was hard to say whether he could save his life, and he didn't dare to think about being promoted. 彩@虹*文¥学%网.CaiHongWenXue.OM
"Who are you? King Jia has always had dealings with our Zhu family, and for his sake, I also ask the prince to let us go" Zhu Ruzhou only had half a life left at this time, and hummed pitifully.
"Hehe, Prince Yan, the second prince of the Great Song Dynasty, is also, your Zhu family is a courtier, and befriending the clan is also a big crime, write it down to him" Zhao Ta said with a smile, and added another crime to him.
"Prince Yan?" Zhu Ruzhou's face was like ashes after hearing this, King Jia and King Yan were competing for the throne, and he mentioned him now, isn't that looking for death?
This night, Zhao Ta knew that the Zhu family was favored by the emperor, and when he was red and purple, he arrested his son and nephew, Zhu Mian would never give up, he and everyone were waiting for him to prevent someone from sneaking attack, but things were beyond his expectations, and he didn't even see a fly fly into the yard at night. Early the next morning, the guards who had gathered outside their courtyard were gone, and Yi Cheng gave a speech saying that before dawn these people were on the road with tribute, and they did not say anything
"What kind of medicine are these guys selling in their gourds?" Zhao Ta held his chin with one hand, and said with his index finger knocking on the table with one hand.
"Zhu Mian is cunning and cunning, the prince got him such a big handle in his hand this time, it is said that he should not stop there, at least he should stabilize us here first and prevent us from entering Beijing" He Qufei also felt puzzled.
"Don't think about it anymore, things are very simple, those people must have been transferred away by Zhu Mian, and there are only two ways to deal with such a thing, one is to kill people and snatch people back; The second is to ask people to make peace, and avoid disasters. The prince is the prince, what is the crime of assassinating the king, he will not know the way, unless he wants to really rebel, otherwise he will not turn his face with us for a nephew, let's go on the road with peace of mind, there may be someone waiting for us in front of us" Huang Jingchen said with a smile.
"Damn, it's easy to do this thing if it's hard, but it's troublesome if it's soft" Zhao Ta frowned and said, according to his mind, he wanted to bring down Zhu Mian through this matter, and it was best to kill him, if he lost his official position and abandoned his post, it would be good, so maybe the people of Jiangnan would have less suffering from Huashigang, and the Fang La uprising could be avoided.
"Does the prince want to teach Zhu Mian a lesson, or do you have other plans?" Huang Jingchen found that the prince didn't seem to want this result, and asked again.
"I want to slaughter this fat pig, this guy is under the banner of his father, in order to harm Jiangnan, sooner or later he will cause trouble," Zhao Ta took out Zhu Ruzhou's confession and handed it to them.
"Hey..."After reading the confession, He Qufei couldn't help but gasp, "This Zhu Mian is overkill, it is really a heinous crime, and it is difficult to atone for his sins."
Zhu Mian father and son in the early years of Cai Jing to make a career, recommended by him into the Tong Guan door, and then contributed strange flowers and plants into the palace, got the favor of the saint, ordered him to promote Jiangsu and Zhejiang should be the bureau, this time he participated in the construction of the new Yanfu Palace, granted the observation envoy, in the southeast it has been a hand to cover the sky, so that the servants under the door have been awarded the official, and the relationship between the officials of the inner court of the court is complicated. Even if we send the confession and join him in a copy, someone in the court will cover it up for him, at most it will only let him spend some money to lose a nephew. Besides, as long as the saint likes the flowers and stones in Jiangnan one day, he will not be dismissed as an official," Huang Jingchen sighed and said, and the analysis was also three points.
"Alas, I am unwilling" He Qufei Zhi Dao Huang Jingchen said well, as long as the emperor protects him, no one can do anything about him, he slammed the table and said.
"There is still something to be done about this matter," Zhao Ta pondered for a moment, touched his chin and said.
"Oh, does the prince have a good plan?" He Qufei and Huang Jingchen asked in unison.
"In this way, if they come, the two of you will come forward first, and then like this..."Zhao Ta whispered.
"The prince has a good plan, so he can't get him down, and he has to let him peel off his skin, but you can't swallow the money alone," Huang Jingchen said with a smile.
"The old rule, what about you and the teacher, you can use your mouth to deal with this matter, and I bear the risk, a lot," Zhao Ta said.
"Three-seven open, we three, prince, you take seventy percent, it costs a lot to return to the capital, you give us one percent" Huang Jingchen refused to give in and said. ,
"Huang Daguan, forget it, wouldn't it be against the teachings of the saints for us to spend this kind of money" He Qufei listened to the two bargaining, frowned and said.
"He Yishan, this money is all the people's fat and people's ointment they scraped, what's wrong with us taking it over to do something that benefits the country and the people, you see the road of Xiangyi Zhuangzi, the fields planted by the villagers, and the houses they live in, all of which the prince got from those corrupt officials, although the means are not despised, but what they do is all good things" Huang Jingchen said seriously.
"Teacher, we have taken the ill-gotten gains, and doing something beneficial to the country and the people, is it not better than spending all day and drinking and buying officials to marry concubines?" Zhao said.
"This..."Why don't you let the two of you take them to the ditch, it's not unreasonable to think about it, and I responded vaguely, but I haven't figured it out too much, I am more civilized than those robbers who are robbing the road for the heavens, and the bandits who occupy the mountain as the king, but the essence is no different. Looking at the appearance of He Qu not being at war with the gods, Zhao Ta and Huang Jingchen smiled knowingly, and if they took him for a few more days, the old man would learn to think about problems with the way of thinking of the prince.
After breakfast, the convoy went on the road again, but there was another carriage behind, no need to ask that this one was the tortured half-dead Zhu Ruzhou, after he said everything that should be said and should not be said, Zhao Ta did not make it difficult for him, wrapped his wounds, entertained him with delicious food and drink, and someone specially served him, now he is a baby, he is simply a little golden man
Because of yesterday's incident, the guards have strengthened their vigilance, and Zhao Xin has also squeezed into the prince's special car to personally guard. Although there were people snooping on the road from time to time, they did not take any hostile action, and Zhao Ta ignored them, let them follow, just bury his head in the road, and arrived at tonight's destination Chenliujun at the beginning of the day.
Chenliu is the state city station, naturally more prosperous than Yongqiu, here is still forty miles away from Kaifeng, all kinds of officials in and out of Beijing will stay here. Zhao Ta entered the post house to see, the prefectural guest house is different, here has received the friendly people of the emperor who traveled, the big people who traveled in the court, the officials who went to the frontier, the local government in order to build the post house, spent a lot of manpower and material resources, I heard that it cost more than 200,000 yuan, mobilized more than 20,000 people, and it took two years to build.
From the outside, it looks like a majestic temple, a very stylish official mansion, and a mansion of a wealthy family. The internal equipment is everything, pavilions, cloister gardens, halls and rooms, stables and warehouses are complete, and the door has guards, there are waiting people, all kinds of service personnel are complete, it can be said that only you can't think of it, there is nothing that can't be done, it is simply comparable to the modern five-star hotel, so that people are happy and forgetful.
Now that the Tianning Festival is approaching, there is an endless stream of teams from all over the country to send tribute, and the morning newspaper is full. However, although the post house officials came and went, the prince of Yipin was rare, and the post man hurriedly entertained people to vacate the house and gave them the largest courtyard.
Not for a long time, the hall was cleaned up, Yi Cheng invited the prince to rest and drink tea, Zhao Ta entered the yard, and found that the outside looked small, the inside area was not small, the house was very spacious, there were 24 houses around the left and right, the accommodation area was 57 steps, together with ** 100 square meters, a supporting equipment should be complete, enter the door and close, the end, now by several groups of people to live, received a notice, the official point moved to another place to arrange accommodation, of course, the conditions are not better than here, the smallest can only consider themselves unlucky to find another inn.
lived well, was suddenly driven out, although dissatisfied, but everyone is mixed in the officialdom, respect and humility can still be distinguished, the so-called official level crushed people, all of them carried the package neatly, pulled the wife and led the child out.
"These people haven't been here for a short time, haven't they?" Zhao Ta looked at the messy scene and said with a smile.
"The prince is joking, according to my Great Song Dynasty law, officials who stay in the post house for more than 30 days will be imprisoned for a year, and the officials are willing, and they don't dare" Yi Cheng refilled Zhao Ta's tea, and said with a smile.
"Hehe, you kid can be a man, those bullshit things, this king doesn't bother to care, you quickly clean up the yard, and after a day's journey, everyone is tired" Zhao Ta looked at Yicheng's eyes rolling, and knew that this kid must be a fake public servant, renting the yard to those officials who are nostalgic to go back and forth, and make some money to spend, but he is not one of those imperial historians who are nosy and nosy, he waved his hand and said with a smile.
"The prince is wise, the lower official will arrange someone to clean, change the bedding, arrange a banquet, and make your stay comfortable" Yicheng was said by the prince, and said with a smile.
"My lord, what should I do if Deputy Envoy Zhu in the backyard goes out and can't clean it up?" At this time, a post guard came in and saluted Zhao Ta and said to Yi Cheng.
"Hurry up and send someone to find it, don't delay the prince's stay" Yi Cheng peeked at the prince and said angrily.
"Who is this Deputy Envoy Zhu and how long has he been staying?" Zhao Ta is now very sensitive to 'Zhu' and interjected to ask.
"Lord Wang, this person's name is Zhu Yannian, he is a magistrate county in Anhui, and he was transferred to the deputy envoy of Changping in Jiangsu, Zhejiang Road, he entered Beijing to thank him, and he has lived here for many days" Yi Cheng hurriedly replied.
"Oh, since I can't find anyone, forget it, this yard is not small, and our people don't need so much" Zhao Ta breathed a sigh of relief, this person is from Anhui, and he has lived for many days, it seems that he has nothing to do with Zhu Mian, the Song Dynasty Zhulu set up Changping and Guanghuicang, and was also in charge of farmland and water conservancy, errand affairs, and the matter of assassinating officials is one of the "supervisors", so let him have a good fate.
