"Official, Chen Daoqing has left Quanzhou. Returning to Hangzhou. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Jiaren was a little confused by this news. Not long ago, Zhao Jiaren had a deep impression of this young prosecutor. Of course, prosecutors cannot be expected to have the ability to be prime ministers, and being able to grasp the matter and pursue it to the end is a qualification worthy of reuse. However, the prosecutor ran away too fast, less than ten days after the last time he sent a telegram.

"Official, are we sending a telegram asking Prosecutor Chen to go back."

"No, you don't." Zhao Jiaren didn't make such a cold request, "When he comes back, let Ding Fei bring him to report to me." ”

At this time, Chen Daoqing did not know that his life had undergone tremendous changes, and he realized how important it was to 'keep the case confidential' as mentioned in the previous case handling. On the third day after Section Chief Zhao learned the news, Chen Daoqing received a note from someone who sent him, saying that he wanted to tell Chen Daoqing some facts about the case. But Chen Daoqing needs to go alone.

Of course, Chen Daoqing would not be stupid enough to go alone, so he set off with his colleagues. After arriving at the place, I saw that on the seashore several miles outside Quanzhou City, someone had dug a big pit and threatened to bury Cai Jiesheng. It can be seen that Cai Jiesheng has been lynched for a long time, but this person keeps his mouth shut and denies that he has deceived and harmed others.

Judging from Cai Jiesheng's performance, he should have harmed people. If it is a person who has not done anything bad, these people obviously want him to confess and then bring them to justice, even if they are stabilized at this time, they must go to the public side first. When Chen Daoqing sighed at the crude methods of these people, he asked Section Chief Zhao to come forward when he saw these guys who had never been able to pry Cai Jiesheng's mouth open.

Chen Daoqing, who had already been prepared to observe in the 'shadows', was dumbfounded. Is this clearly trying to make things come down! Although these people put on the appearance that Section Chief Zhao wanted to avenge his husband, this method was useless at all. Killing the imperial court officials was a great crime, and Section Chief Zhao would not put himself in it at all.

If Cai Jiesheng belongs to the kind of guy who is soft when he is scared, it is obvious that Cai Jiesheng is not so cowardly. After he saw Section Chief Zhao, he insisted that this was completely a rumor spread by others. Chen Daoqing knew that he couldn't watch it anymore no matter what, in case these fools invited Chen Daoqing out again, it would be equivalent to compensating Chen Daoqing as well.

Cai Jiesheng, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, was not killed in the end, and the Zhao family really couldn't ask anything, so they could only let him go. Because Cai's family, who found Cai Jiesheng missing, called the police. Although the Zhao family is very influential in Quanzhou, the Cai family is also a Fujian family. Simply compared to the prestige of the two families in Quanzhou, the Zhao family obviously has too many grievances. Those who sympathize with the Cai family naturally have an advantage. When Cai Jiesheng sued the Zhao family, in the end, it was the Quanzhou Zhizhou who coordinated the two patriarchs, hoping to resolve such a conflict.

Chen Daoqing chose to leave decisively. Along the way, he regretted that he had not been able to abide by the discipline of handling cases, and he originally thought that it was a rule used by his superiors to restrain his subordinates from being obedient. It was only when I was in charge that I realized that it was not a simple personal factor that regulations could become universal. I thought about making this decision and suffered a big loss.

Now it is getting faster and faster to run back to Hangzhou from Quanzhou, and when Chen Daoqing returned to Hangzhou, he was first taken by Ding Fei to give him a training. Chen Daoqing's choice to run away was correct, and if he stayed in Quanzhou stupidly, he would definitely make the procuratorial organs a victim. But this wise choice is at best a correct choice in the face of defeat, and it cannot reverse the whole outcome.

"You've already found out about this, why can't you hold on?" Ding Fei was extremely angry. He very much hopes to be able to recommend an extremely capable subordinate to the Zhao official family, Chen Daoqing's insight into people's hearts and grasp of things is already extremely satisfying. Suddenly, a bad move was all he had worked so.

Questioned and reprimanded by Ding Fei, Chen Daoqing initially felt very ashamed. As time continued, Chen Daoqing also began to feel impatient. This matter is already like this, what is Ding Fei's unrelenting? Is this to completely negate Chen Daoqing!

Ding Fei looked at Chen Daoqing's expression, and he could roughly guess Chen Daoqing's thoughts, which made him simply ask Chen Daoqing bluntly, "Aren't you going to do a check on the confidentiality of the case?" ”

"There are some issues that I can't keep completely secret." Chen Daoqing was also reflecting along the way, so Chen Daoqing also told Ding Fei bluntly, "If you want to continue to investigate the case, sometimes you have to discuss with others and cooperate with others." I had done my best. Let me do better, I can't do it. ”

"The official family wants to see you, so you told the official family like this. You can't do it! ”

Hearing this, Chen Daoqing was stunned. However, he couldn't swallow the anger of being criticized by this sudden, so he replied loudly: "If the official asks, of course I will admit that I am so capable." I would love to do better, but if I can't do it, I can't do it. And where can it be repeated! ”

"Humph! Very good. Ding Fei suddenly didn't want to get angry anymore. Chen Daoqing's response is also a response, and in Ding Fei's view, it is even more correct than the so-called deep review. I admit the status quo and am willing to be able to take out the range. The Zhao official family didn't hate such a young man at all, and he said to Chen Daoqing: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to see the official family." ”

The next morning, Chen Daoqing was dressed very neatly, but he still followed Ding Fei a little angrily. Ding Fei turned his head to look at Chen Daoqing and reprimanded: "Don't be like a child." If you can't let go of this little thing, how can you do big things in the future. ”

This is true, but the neuronal data left by yesterday's strong stimulation is so fresh, Chen Daoqing is angry when he sees Ding Fei. How can it be put down because of a sentence.

"Don't think about me now. All your thoughts are now on the fact that you are going to see the official's house. When you see the official family, the official family is the protagonist. Don't prioritize. Ding Fei continued. Since the Zhao official family took a fancy to Chen Daoqing, Ding Fei also wanted to point out this young man.

Chen Daoqing felt that what Ding Fei said was right. began to frame the idea of going to see Zhao Guan's house in his heart, and after thinking about it several times, Chen Daoqing suddenly had a thrill. When only Zhao Guanjia and himself were left in his thoughts, and when Ding Fei and others were excluded, he felt his heart beat faster, and the whole person felt a little overwhelmed. Ding Fei, who had made Chen Daoqing extremely dissatisfied before, didn't seem so annoying.

Led by the guards, Chen Daoqing went to a conference room. They sat down and waited first, and it didn't take long for the guards to open the way, and then Zhao Guan's family appeared in front of Chen Daoqing. Ding Fei stood up sharply, and Chen Daoqing stood up immediately.

Zhao Jiaren shook hands with the two of them one after another, and then said, "Sit." ”

Chen Daoqing thought it would be a very formal meeting, or even a red tape meeting, but he didn't expect it to be so simple and bright. Zhao Jiaren and Ding Fei both sat down, and Chen Daoqing could only muster up the courage to sit down. Then I heard Zhao Jiaren ask: "Prosecutor Chen, you came back from Fujian." As far as you think, what is the current situation in Fujian? ”

“…… It's not as enlightened as Hangzhou. Chen Daoqing replied. Purely in terms of the buildings on both sides and the lives of the people, Quanzhou is not bad as a big city. However, in that place in Quanzhou, it is obvious that people form gangs and factions, with clans and other clans as the core. In Hangzhou, Chen Daoqing could not have imagined that the Zhao family would dare to set up a torture hall to torture officials in such a private manner. Even if the Zhao family has a point, they don't dare.

Listening to Chen Daoqing's description of the situation in Fujian, Zhao Jiaren did not feel that there was anything wrong with this description. In recent years, the outstanding people in Fujian have been taken away by Zhao Jiaren, and the poor have almost run away because of the places for immigration. Purely based on Fujian's port status, Zhao Jiaren felt that it was only a matter of time before Guangdong and Jiangnan comprehensively suppressed Fujian. According to the statistics of the imperial court, the population of Fujian was about 7 million at its peak. Now less than half of Fujian's population remains, with 3 million people in the sky. There is even a pessimistic view that Fujian's population may be less than 2.5 million. The real population is left in a few agglomeration areas such as Quanzhou City and Fuzhou City. If you can stay in this kind of place and continue to mix, you can't do it without some connections.

Ding Fei listened to Chen Daoqing's introduction, and felt in his heart that this young man was really bold and had no scruples. Chen Daoqing was born in an ordinary Hangzhou citizen family, his father served in the forbidden army and participated in the Battle of Dingjiazhou. He was one of the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops who dispersed. However, the 'irresolutes' at this level have not been prosecuted at all. The Zhao family would never ask ordinary soldiers to fight to the death.

Chen Daoqing's mother's family is a family of scholars and has shown off talents. Chen Daoqing studied with his uncle since he was a child, and soon completed the primary school course after the opening of the school in the Great Song Dynasty. I went to junior high school, high school, and the Faculty of Political Science and Law. Assigned to work in the Public Prosecutor's Office. Compared with those families who were criticized by Chen Daoqing, Chen Daoqing is completely insignificant.

However, Ding Fei would not think that Chen Daoqing was arrogant, because Zhao Guanjia listened very carefully, and at the same time kept nodding. Or even take a small notebook to record it. Because Chen Daoqing's description of the Fujian family is very clear. The Zhao family, the Chen family, the Lin family, the Cai family, and the Yin family, the power of these Fujian clans has indeed risen very quickly. These families are all families of scholars, and the advantages of joining the system are far higher than those of ordinary families.

After listening to the description of the Fujian family, Zhao Jiaren asked: "What do you think of the life of the people in Fujian now?" ”

"It's comfortable." Chen Daoqing replied very simply.

"Comfort?" It is hard for Zhao Jiaren to imagine that someone would say this about Fujian.

"Official. The biggest thing in Fujian is that there are more people and less land. Originally, there was a large population in Fujian, but now the population has been greatly reduced. But even if the land is doubled, there should be no comfort. However, there are only a few big cities left in Fujian, and Quanzhou and Fuzhou have a combined population of more than one million, so they may not need so many peasants. Does the official family know how much a stone of rice in Quanzhou is now? "After staying in Quanzhou for so long, Chen Daoqing is very clear about many things.

"How much?" Zhao Jiaren asked. After asking, I feel that my understanding of the world is not as good as before. In the past, Zhao Jiaren not only knew the grain prices in various parts of the world, but the grain prices in many places were actually decided by Zhao Jiaren secretly.

"Now the price of one stone of rice in Quanzhou is three times. Ten years ago, it was still twenty. Chen Daoqing said it very clearly.

"I see." Zhao Jiaren nodded, showing a relieved look.

Ding Fei's original home was also in Fujian, and he was a little stunned when he heard the price of rice in three runs and one stone. The price of rice has become one-seventh of what it used to be, which means that the cost of living has been reduced across the board. Without waiting for Ding Fei to figure out the situation, he heard Chen Daoqing continue: "The official family, the minister knows, there are many tea mountains in Fujian now. Because the official family greatly reduced the freight and did not collect money from the Yangtze River and sea transportation, the people in Fujian especially dared to grow tea. Those teas are said to be labor-intensive, but in fact, they are just like that. It's much easier than growing grain. Tea is shipped to Jiangnan and other places, although it is not expensive, but it will not be unsold. Therefore, the people of Fujian live quite comfortably. Although it was a year of great disaster, it must have been difficult. But there are so many disasters there. ”

"I've heard you're doing a good job." Zhao Jiaren changed the subject.

"I just thought I was good. Only now do I know that Bao Zheng's kind of case is so easy. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Jiaren smiled, "Many of Bao Zheng's cases are chiseled, and most of the cases are not done by Bao Zheng." But the people want good justice. This is the same for all generations. What do you think of what Fujian officials think about the judiciary? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Jiaren smiled, "Many of Bao Zheng's cases are chiseled, and most of the cases are not done by Bao Zheng." But the people want good justice. This is the same for all generations. What do you think of what Fujian officials think about the judiciary? ”

"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the local family wants to have justice, but they don't want the judiciary to be in charge so much. The village sages ran rampant in the township, thinking that they were the law of the imperial court. Chen Daoqing replied decisively. Zhao dared to kidnap officials and torture them, which was already illegal. And Quanzhou Zhizhou finally mediated between the Cai family and the Zhao family, which was even more defiled against the law.

Zhao Jiaren didn't comment, but said: "Do it well in Hangzhou." And that ended the conversation.

A few days later, in September 324, the Korean Peninsula began to rain in autumn. The most active on the peninsula were only five divisions of the Song Army, which patrolled the Yalu River, and they built high artillery towers along the Yalu River. They also built canals and cleared fields near the turrets. With the current situation, it is better to rely on food from other places than to produce it yourself. As one of the frontlines of the Great Song Dynasty, the attention of the Song army in these places was very concentrated.

With its towering turrets, fixed binoculars shelves and sheltered walls, the turrets can clearly see movements more than a dozen miles away. Song Jun soon found that there was already a different situation over there. More than a dozen miles away, some temporary living places are being built. Since there is no report from the Song army that it is the actions of the Song army, it must be the movement of the barbarians. After the previous scourge, only the Song army and the barbarians were probably left on the Korean Peninsula who still had the ability to act as they pleased.

At this time, the Koreans were just hiding off the beaten track and begging not to be discovered.
