Chapter 35 Million Silver
Yin Dechang was wearing civilian clothes at the moment, with a circle of white cloth wrapped around his head, and his left arm was hanging around his neck, before Chu Yuqing and Zhou Zheng's attack was almost successful.
As the prefect Yin Dechang, who has been holding the book of sages all the year round and is really powerless, today's adventure is definitely a catastrophe, and being seriously injured is not counted, but his mind is definitely shocked.
Yin Dechang, who has never been to the prison since taking office, is now sitting in the interrogation room of the cell, and the half-dead Zhao Zhang and Zhou Zheng are kneeling in front of Yin Dechang.
Yin Dechang's right hand kept looking at the confession on the table, and he was annoyed and angry in his heart, the female assassin who assassinated him was taken away, and he knew that he couldn't come to the door to theorize.
At this moment, Yin Dechang couldn't help but sigh with emotion that the world was sad, what kind of world is this, it is really the collusion of officials and bandits, and he will not be given a way to live.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Yin Dechang directly threw the confession on the table into the charcoal fire, and said to the prison guards beside him: "The bandit leader has not confessed yet, continue to beat me, when can I give a useful confession before I can release them back to prison." β
As soon as these words came out, the prison servants who got the order walked towards Zhao Zhang and Zhou Zheng viciously, and the two of them didn't look right, didn't we recruit them all? How to still fight.
The more unlucky Zhou Zheng was first knocked unconscious by Zuo Lingtian, and now he was so insulted by the dog official he had always looked down on.
As soon as Zhou Zheng's heart came up, he sprayed directly: "Dog officer, is there a royal law, we have already recruited, you have the ability to kill me, my brother will bring hundreds of heroes to avenge me sooner or later." β
Zhao Zhang was anxious when he heard this, big brother, don't pull me if you want to die, even if you get up and block Zhou Zheng's big mouth.
Zhou Zheng actually regretted it after speaking, especially the prison guards around him looked at him like a fool.
However, no one can control their temper, and if they vent their temper, they will regret their impulses.
Zhou Zheng also wanted to admit it, but he couldn't hold it on his face, he was still strong, Yin Dechang stroked his beard: "If you really encounter a hard stubble, then don't be merciful, just continue to give me a breath, Wang Fa!" You've assassinated your own officials, and you're still talking to me about the king's law. β
After Yin Dechang finished speaking, the prison guards went straight to death, anyway, he said that as long as he kept his breath, what else was there to fear.
Everyone, you punch me and kick me to vent your dissatisfaction, let your kid be idle and have nothing to do, even if you assassinate the prefect, you have to let me be pulled over to be on duty, I am not at home at this point and I am still in prison, Lao Tzu's food, Lao Tzu's mother-in-law and warm quilt let you assassinate the prefect without success.
After Yin Dechang vented his frustration, he called his master over and instructed: "Master, what should you do if you look at this confession, the recent investigation is near, and I can't help the prince to commit perjury on the surface, in case the above is traced down, saying that I let go of the prince of the chaotic party, there may be no big deal, and my career will come to an end." β
When the master heard this, he immediately understood that Yin Dechang obviously didn't want to offend Zuo Lingtian to arrest the female assassin who was taken away by Zuo Lingtian, and he was afraid that when the court would track him down, he would say that he had secretly disrupted the party.
Twisting his goatee, he thought about it for a moment and instantly came up with an idea: "My lord, look, haven't those two rebels been recruited until now, why don't we write a confession and let the two people draw the prisoner directly, but we also have an explanation after the investigation above, after all, it was dark at that time, and we didn't see how many rebels there were." Also, didn't the man say that he still has an elder brother and has a lot of brothers under his hands, and many people have failed to assassinate and escape, and it's not bad for you to catch two of them and explain like this, what do you think? β
Yin Dechang nodded with satisfaction, and said with a relaxed expression: "It's not a loss, master, then this confession will be handed over to you, don't let the official down." β
"I will live up to the trust of my lord."
The master was full of promises to the task entrusted by Yin Dechang.
.......
Yin Dechang's worries were resolved, but he still had to deal with the face-saving matter, and he had just searched for assassins in the city on a large scale.
The news of the prefect's assassination also spread far and wide, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.
In the early morning of the next day, the prefect's yamen began to post notices on the streets to hunt for the Assassins.
However, not many people care about this kind of thing, except for some good people who inquire about the ins and outs of it.
Most people just use it as an after-dinner conversation.
Zuo Lingtian watched the officials of the prefect's yamen paste notices along the street, and he didn't bother to think about it, he was one of the participants.
The culprit of such a big commotion was none other than Zuo Lingtian.
However, Zuo Lingtian didn't have the heart to care about the Kaiyuan meeting and the assassination of Yin Dechang.
Today is the deadline for Lin Ruhai and Li Chaozong to meet to deliver silver.
In the lobby of the prefect's yamen, wooden boxes with red paint are neatly placed.
Each foot weighs hundreds of pounds, and it takes the cooperation of four officials to move.
Lin Ruhai was followed by the account office from the capital, which was under the jurisdiction of the household department, and was checking the amount of reward.
Yin Dechang temporarily recuperated in the mansion because of yesterday's assassination, and the salt merchants who got the news last night almost broke the door of Yin's mansion.
As soon as they heard that Yin Dechang had been assassinated, they went to care, although they usually looked down on this prefect, they still needed him to open the back door for the salt merchants and play cover.
The salt merchants were not courtiers after all, and even if they were in close contact with the ministers of Beijing, they needed someone to convey the news.
And Yin Dechang is this important person, so the salt merchants' various tonic prescriptions are stuffed into Yin's mansion without money.
The salt merchants present early in the morning were not in good spirits, yawning one by one.
Bao Yi'an, who was fat and weak, held a bowl of ginseng soup in his hand, and said to Ma Dequan, an elegant scribe: "Fuck, Ma Dequan, my old Bao's fate is going to be explained here." β
"Just your hundreds of catties of fat, and explain it here, don't pretend to be false, you don't usually pick up a kitchen knife to chop meat."
Ma Dequan also didn't sleep well all night, he was in a depressed mood, and watched boxes of white flowers and silver being sent away, although the big head in it was Li Chaozong, but his heart was still like a drop of blood.
Most of the Xiao family's share is now in the hands of Li Chaozong, so the people of the Xiao family did not come.
Li Chaozong, the leader of the four major general merchants, is now helping Lin Ruhai to hand over, and now Yin Dechang is not here, so there are only two people who can call the shots.
Zuo Lingtian was a military attachΓ©, so Yu Li should not be involved, so Zuo Lingtian didn't meddle in things.
The three of Ah Da were in harmony with Liu Hui, and a group of soldiers were bragging to each other.
Zuo Lingtian was not interested in mixing with them, watching boxes of silver being carried out, this reward that should have been given three years ago had only arrived now.
I thought of the Kaiyuan meeting with a million silver bounties, and thought to myself, who revealed the news of raising silver taels can't be investigated.
Now it's time to think about how we can get the money into the hands of those who deserve it.
