Chapter 207
Qiao Feng was a little red-faced, his chest was full of pride, and his eyes were full of excitement, "The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people." Eradicating the parasites of corruption is for the benefit of the world! Lin Tian's words still echoed in his ears......
Among the beggar brothers, there are too many "unemployed displaced people", that is, the "Wandering People" made a lot of noise, Wang Anshi resigned to leave the year, the locust plague in Gwangju continued, there was no rain in the sky, the road was hungry, the hungry people were displaced, and they flowed into Kaifeng one after another, and Zheng Xia, a petty official at the gate of Kaifeng, saw this scene and was worried, so he painted a "Wandering People" to present it to the emperor at the risk of bullying the king.
This "Diagram of the Displaced People" directly became the fuse of the counteroffensive of the conservatives of the Shi clan, and it also became the last straw that removed Wang Anshi from the phase.
But Zheng Xia is not a conservative who opposes the change of the law, he just thinks that Wang Anshi's change is not good for the people, especially the Qingmiao Law, which is the same as Su Shi's view, Su Shi regards Zheng Xia as a friend of life and death, and Wang Anshi is a gentleman's friend.
Although the various tragic things depicted in "The Diagram of the Wandering People" made the queen mother, emperor, and empress of the two palaces hide their faces and cry, they actually don't know the more outrageous things. The locust plague in Gwangju displaced the people, but the fields were seized by the landlords at a low price, and the people had nothing to eat, but the landlords' homes were full of granaries. But the wine and meat in Zhumen stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road, which of those landlords opens warehouses to release grain and help the victims?
Not only did they not release grain, but they also forbade the bark and grass roots in the fields to eat, and if any hungry people fed them, they were severely punished, and if they exceeded a certain amount, they were divided by capital punishment. (See "A Brief Discussion on the Characteristics of Criminal Law in the Song Dynasty 61 Hao Peiwei")
People are so hungry that they dare not do anything in order to survive? It is not uncommon for the landlord to peel the bark of the tree and dig up the grass roots of the landlord's house, but most of them will be chased and beaten by the landlord's vicious dog and slave. Some unlucky ones were caught and sent to the government, and they died nine out of ten, and they couldn't escape their lives.
Qiao Feng is a drinker, bold and upright, and often drinks with his brothers under the beggar gang, so he knows a lot of these things.
Under the influence of ears and eyes, he has resentment against the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the imperial court, and the gentry and shoddy businessmen, this kind of emotion is actually very common in the hearts of the people in the rivers and lakes, so "robbing the rich and helping the poor" is a common thing for people in the rivers and lakes. As for the killing of notorious dog officials, some strongmen in the rivers and lakes often do it, of course, no one is stupid, to do this kind of thing, you have to wear a mask and wear night clothes. After all, it is not a very worthy thing to show off when killing officials and fighting against the government and the court, and it is not good to be hunted down and killed if you show a little clue.
Now these warriors are extremely excited, following behind the team to press the formation, looking extremely proud of themselves.
After a while, the mighty procession came to the high platform in front of the prefect's yamen, not far away. The crowd gathered here saw Lin Tian and others coming, and after understanding the situation, they were in an uproar, nearly 100 officials up and down Yangzhou were really arrested, and they had been tied up and escorted, which was really incredible! They were crowded and noisy, and they wanted to get closer and see!
Lin Tian rode on the horse, superior to others, and looked at the crowds around him, and secretly excited. Qiao Feng was even more heroic, holding the reins in both hands, and sat down on the horse's belly tightly, stabilizing the frightened mount.
Wang Anshi has seen a big scene, and his horse seems to be the same, just snorting, but not overly uneasy.
Lin Tian saw that the crowd was a little out of control, so he suddenly shouted!
The crowd felt a thunderstorm in their ears, their ears buzzed, and their heads were a little dizzy, taking this opportunity, some soldiers went up and squeezed a road, and Lin Tian rode a horse through the road to the bottom of the high platform. The crowd still didn't come back to their senses by this roar, and Wang Anshi, soldiers, and martial artists on their side didn't feel any discomfort, and Lin Tian's control of his skills became more and more sophisticated.
There were wooden ladders on both sides of the high platform, Lin Tian went up to the high platform with Wang Anshi and Qiao Feng, and those corrupt officials were also escorted to the side of the high platform. Su Shi and Shen Kuo were already on the high platform, seeing Lin Tian and others coming, they stepped forward to salute, and after everyone was polite, Lin Tian stood in the middle, looked down, and asked, "How many people are there?" ”
Su Shi said: "There are always tens of thousands of people. ”
Tens of thousands of ...... The 10,000-person public trial conference ...... Such a word popped up in Lin Tian's mind, and at this time, the crowd slowly came back to their senses, and they couldn't help but focus their eyes on the high platform and discuss.
The people on the high platform were watched by tens of thousands of eyes, and they couldn't help but be a little excited. Lin Tian's body trembled imperceptibly, his eyes looked around the crowd, and when the crowd gradually quieted down, he hugged his fists and said: "In the lower heavenly gate Lin Tian, trusted by the officials, given the sword of the Son of Heaven, as the minister of the Qincha, supervising the world, has the right to cut first and then play!" His self-introduction in the opening remarks made the crowd boil.
Lin Tian let them boil, and after a while, the crowd gradually quieted down, and they all looked at Lin Tian to listen to what he had to say.
Lin Tian said in his heart: How is it different from the TV series? The official reported his name, and the next thing should be that the people knelt down and shouted, "I've seen an adult!"
He secretly scolded that the TV series was really pure fiction, and then said to the crowd: "Yesterday, the official made an unannounced visit here, got evidence, and found that the corruption in Yangzhou officialdom from top to bottom is so serious and appalling!" So in order to give the people of Yangzhou a good time, they were arrested with a face! Lin Tian made a gesture to the side of the high platform, and the soldiers who escorted the corrupt officials saw it and understood it, so they pressed the corrupt officials to go to the high platform one by one.
The first two were none other than Han Zhifu and General Wu. After a while, Lin Tian and several others on the high platform were covered with "prisoners" on both sides.
These prisoners were high-ranking officials one night ago, and now they are now prisoners tied up and thrown rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in the streets.
And listening to all kinds of foul language in his ears, he fell from a high altitude and fell into the Nine Hells, each of them was ashamed and abnormal, bowed his head and hid his face, and did not dare to see people.
But as the saying goes, "the eyes of the masses are bright!" "They were still recognized one by one, and besides, they were unkempt and unrecognizable, and they still had wooden signs around their necks to mark their bodies! When the crowd was scolding, the embezzled silver was like a series of eyes full of contempt, which made the crowd angry, scolded, and went straight to the eighteenth generation of people's ancestors.
Lin Tian sighed secretly when he heard it: It is said that Jiangnan people are gentle, and this launch is really a rabbit that bites people when they are in a hurry. Lin Tianzheng sighed secretly, and he didn't know who shouted, "Kill them!" ”
In an instant, the sound was like cold water poured into a pot of boiling oil, and suddenly the crowd exploded with a bang, and roared: "Kill them!" Kill them! ”
