Chapter 23 The prefect is annoying
As soon as the team of the Zhao Mansion went out, especially the Zhuang guests on the prefect's Zhuangzi who were still tied to the back, it caused a sensation in the countryside, and they did not expect that a low-key Zhao Mansion would suddenly do such a 'big' thing. A baozheng was a heavenly existence in the countryside, and now he was dragging behind a horse like a dog. The clever snack ran back to deliver a letter to the master's house, and the timid began to think about whether to return the encroached land, but there were also those who disdained it and dared to arrest the prefect, isn't this looking for death?
The whole team seemed to be deliberately showing off, swaggering on the road, Zhao Ta's sedan chair was very wide, sitting on four or five children would not be significantly crowded, with a brazier at his feet, the sedan curtain was lowered, and the cold wind could not blow in at all, he sat in the trembling sedan chair and fell asleep, so he simply lay down and took a nap.
······
After Cai Jing became the prime minister, in order to consolidate his position and want to control the military power, he built two thousand soldiers each, appointed his in-laws as the county guard, and controlled the important land of Gyeonggi.
After walking for nearly an hour, the team entered the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city knew that the road was either rich or expensive, and they did not dare to stop, and the whole team went straight to the yamen of the state capital. The state capital, Yamen, is the most prosperous place in a state, and with a population of 100,000 in the garrison city, it is already a big city, with many shops on both sides, peddlers and pawns coming and going, and the sound of selling is endless.
The management of officials in the Song Dynasty was very humane, except for specific days, officials did not have to sit in the hall every day, there was no major event, and they could work in the back hall. When the complainant team arrived at the yamen, someone rushed to deliver the complaint.
As the saying goes, 'the foot of the car dealership should be killed if he is not guilty', the officials do not have a few wages, and they usually live by collecting bribes and extortion, and the officials who guard the door opened the door and asked impatiently: "What are you doing, is there such a knock on the door of the yamen?" ”
"We're going to sue!" The little steward is also 'lacking in morality', you just reported it, not only did he not say it, he was even more angry, not to mention giving money to the two of them, there was no one with a smiling face, and he said it hard.
"Get out, tomorrow!" The watchman was even more horizontal, and he closed the door with a 'bang', and no matter how he knocked, people didn't pay attention to him.
Zhao Yan was still holding the sedan curtain and waiting to take over, the door was not opened, and a large group of people were hung on the street, Zhang Yan looked at the prefect's yamen, he was bold again, and began to shout, so that Meng Tao slapped his chin off, and saw that he wanted to call the door, but he was afraid of losing his identity, so he jumped to his feet in anger, Zhao Ta rushed to Pan Longnunu beside him, and motioned him to call the door.
Pan Long didn't have a little butler, he took two steps up the steps to the door, and smashed his big fist on the door, not to mention the door, the door frame was shaking with it, and the movement was like more than a dozen big drums beating at the same time, not to mention hiding in the gatehouse, even the people in the back hall felt deafening.
"Open the door, if you don't open it again, I'll tear down the door!" Pan Long smashed it a few times, and then yelled inside.
The effect really came out immediately, and the gate 'Hula' opened for them, and more than 20 officials poured out, and the knives were all drawn, "Who is looking for death, dare to demolish the gate of the government office?" A squad leader shouted angrily, he was also angry, would ordinary people dare to slam the door like this!
"Go and call your prefect out, our lord will fight a lawsuit!" Pan Long, a rough man, can't do anything, so he pushed the head of the team and said.
"Drink, run here and go wild!" When the officials saw that they were beaten on the head, the two people who had a good relationship waved their knives and slashed, but Pan Long didn't let them cut them, grabbed their wrists, pinched them hard, and the knives fell to the ground, and they took a step forward and hit their chests with both shoulders, and the two of them flew into the gate with a 'whoosh'. As soon as Zhao Tan closed his eyes, the two of them let Pan Long bump it, it is better to let the cow top it, this time if he doesn't die, he has to lie down for a few days, and there is no X-ray, CT, and it is really hard to say how many bones are broken.
There was such a big commotion at the entrance of the yamen, which immediately alarmed the people on the street, and a group of people gathered around Hulala to watch the excitement. The officials are used to it, and today they are beaten at the door of their house in front of everyone, and their faces are too big, and the officials are ruthless, and they want to get their faces back, otherwise they won't be able to mix here in the future.
But some people didn't let them get their wish, they just surrounded Pan Long, and they heard someone shouting below: "King Yingtianjun, the Huaide army is here, you dare to make a time, quickly call Chen Tang to come out and take over!" Seeing Zhao Ta's eyes, he knew that the fire was almost over, and immediately shouted in a sharp voice. ,
What do the officials do best? is to bully the soft and fear the hard, as soon as he heard the name reported, he knew that his face could not be recovered, and this beating was in vain. The head of the team immediately struggled up, while calling someone to hurry up and report inside, while opening the door of the mansion, he knelt in front of the sedan chair with a 'poof', and the ready-made words came immediately, "The little one is damned, blind dog's eyes, I don't know the prince's car, please forgive the prince!" ”
Chen Tang felt restless since he got up today, his eyelids were jumping, he barely read a few official documents, and he couldn't sit still anymore, "Could it be that something happened to Zhang Yan?" No, a small landlord who has no backing has beaten the son of the prefect, and it is already his own great tolerance to let him break some money, the prefect of the broken family, the prefect of the extinction, if he dares not to know each other, he has a way to make him bow his head! Chen Tang said to himself after turning around the room twice.
"Grace Xiang is coming back, this year's New Year is more than in previous years, the people say that the New Year is difficult, and my prefect is not having a good time, this year's Xiangye gave 50,000 yuan on his birthday, and he found a prefect, and the New Year cannot be less than this number!" Chen Tang sat down again and took a sip of tea, "My son's call is timely, not only has the New Year's gift been settled, but he also has a hundred acres of fertile land, okay!" ”
Thinking of this, Chen Tang was in a good mood, but was soon interrupted by a loud noise from the front office, "What's going on outside?" Check it out! He shouted to the officials who were guarding the door.
"Tell your lord, there is a complaint outside, and there is a conflict with Menzi!" The official glanced at it and said.
"Diao Min, give me a beating!" Chen Tang, who was disturbed, shouted angrily, but before the official who checked the situation arrived at the door, another official ran in and said hurriedly: "Tell your lord, someone from outside who claims to be the king of Yingtian County has come to complain, let you go out to greet you immediately!" ”
Chen Tang had a headache when he heard it, these days the nobles are the most difficult to serve, and if they are not careful, they will lose their official positions and be dismissed, this county prince may be a girl who has a crush on someone's family, and he has a crush on someone's land, saying that it is a lawsuit, but in fact, he is making himself a villain and snatching it from others.
"Open the door of the mansion and welcome!" Chen Tang pinched his nose and said, don't say it's the king of the county, even if he is an ordinary royal family, he can't afford to offend it, he knows the way of the king of Yingtian County, that is the 'dragon son' born by the emperor and Zheng Guifei, Prime Minister Cai Cheng was able to regain his appearance this time, but he took the door of Zheng Guifei.
"Governor Chen, you are such a big shelf, let our prince stand at the gate for a long time, you are guilty!" Chen Tang set up the guard of honor and lined up to greet him, but he was reprimanded by a chamberlain, but he didn't dare to reply, and stuffed two gold leaves into Jianxi's hand with a smile, "Father-in-law works hard, buy some wine to drink!" ”
"Hmph, hurry up and take the ride!" Seeing Xi's nostrils snorting to the sky and saying, the momentum made Zhao Ta want to go up and kick him twice.
"Chen Tang, the prefect of Gongzhou, meet the prince of the county!" Chen Tang took two steps to the front of the sedan chair, bowed with a smile on his face and said, the Song Dynasty has a benefit, the subordinates don't need to kneel around when they see their superiors under normal circumstances, just give a salute.
"Excuse me!" Zhao Ta then got out of the sedan chair with the support of Feng Xi.
"Wang... Rajah! Chen Tang bowed to the ground, looked up and saw that this prince was a little young, although he slandered, he didn't dare to slack off, let Zhao Ta into the lobby, personally served hot tea, and then led a group of subordinate officials to see him again.
"Governor Chen, don't be polite, this king was attacked by several gangsters yesterday and almost died, and today another group of mobs stormed the palace, trying to murder this king, and now the mob has been captured, and you still need to uphold justice!" Zhao Ta tried to sit up straight, put up the shelf, and said in an old-fashioned manner, but no matter how you look at it, it was a little funny, and he waved his hand to let the steward hand over the paper.
"Yes, yes, if you dare to murder the prince, the officials will severely punish you!" Chen Tang took the paper, looked at Zhao Ta pretending to be an adult, held back a smile, and said with a righteous face.
"Daddy..." When Chen Zi'an heard that the prince had arrived, he also wanted to join in the fun, and as soon as he leaned out, he saw Zhao Ta sitting there, and couldn't help shouting.
"Lord Wang, this is the little dog Chen Zi'an, who doesn't know etiquette!" Chen Tang didn't notice that his son gave him a look, and pulled him over while introducing Zhao Ta and said, "Zi'an, hurry up and give the prince a gift!" ”
"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xi suddenly found that Zhao Ta's face had changed greatly, he was terrified, and hurriedly asked.
"He... He is the one who trampled me with his horse and shot me with an arrow yesterday! Zhao Ta's fingers trembled and pointed at Chen Zi'an and said tremblingly, his body still hiding behind Jianxi.
"Escort, capture the murderer!" Seeing that the cooperation between the two masters and servants was becoming more and more tacit, his body flashed to cover Zhao Ta, and shouted loudly. The four sumo wrestlers standing behind Zhao Ta stepped forward at the same time, their meat was really not eaten in vain, Pan Long and Xue Bao protected Zhao Ta, Zhang Feng raised his leg is a kick, since he can be called 'a whip', then the kung fu is on the leg, Chen Zi'an was kicked away before he could react, Song Hu was not idle, he just landed, it was a 'vajra', a foot on his chest, Chen Zi'an rolled his eyes, he was already out of breath and less in breath!
"Brother-in-law, help!" Zhang Yan was even more dishonest when he entered the mansion, and Meng Tao was really wilted, hearing the commotion in the lobby, he flicked his arm and 'unintentionally' put his chin on him, and Zhang Yan broke free of the rope and rushed into the lobby.
"Zhang Yan..." Before Chen Tang could react from the shock, his brother-in-law ran in again and hugged his leg and shouted.
"Chen Tang, you have to make things clear, what is the relationship between this thug who attacked the palace and you, did you instigate it?" Jianxi pointed at Chen Tang, who was stunned, and shouted.
