Chapter 319: Pan Yu
After chatting for a long time, Song Wen pushed open the door and walked out. Behind him, the master of the horse came out to send him off, but his eyes were complicated and seemed to be preoccupied.
Inside the barracks, I don't know when five big carts drove in, and they were actually full of grain, cloth and copper coins, and the eyes of the two or three hundred van troops gathered were shining.
An Chun took a few Qingshan Battalion Township soldiers to register and make a register, and checked the arrears of food and materials by the way...... Ruda has already begun to register and inspect the weapons and equipment and the supplies of the barracks.
Wu Erlang and his elder brother Wu Dalang hurriedly walked over and hugged their fists at Song Wenyi...... "Song Lang...... Uh, Lord Tsuki! The two of us have just gone to see the military household camp outside the camp, alas...... It's unsightly! There are a lot of old, weak, sick and disabled, and some don't even have a piece of clothing to go out? Such an army ...... What kind of battle can you fight? ”
Wu Dalang also shook his head and sighed...... "It's too miserable, I knew that Mizhou was poor here, and the box army that might eat the imperial court's food and salary could actually be like this?" It shouldn't be! ”
Song Wen suddenly raised his head and beckoned to An Chun in the distance, An Chun dropped the roster and ran over and said, "What do you command?"
"Immediately seal up all the account books, and put those two teams back in jail! Now interrogate them, and I am afraid that they will not confess, so you go and bring in the master of the horse...... Take over Wu Junshi again, and the two large battalions of the Mizhou Xiang Army will have two master books in the future! One inside and one outside...... Let the master of the horse find out the account books and the evidence that these officers withheld food and salaries and oppressed the soldiers of the box army! First, to give these Xiangjun brothers justice, and second, to rebuild the Mizhou Xiangjun to protect the territory and the people! ”
Before An Chun could answer, Ma Liangma, who suddenly appeared behind him, bowed down with shiny eyes...... "Your Majesty will do your best to do things for Lord Xuan!" He was relieved that he didn't dare to assert it...... The two Yu Hou and the six teams have eaten the shortage of greedy food and salary in the past three years, as well as colluding with the Pan family to loot the city gate tax and occupy the fertile land, and the lower officials have some evidence! If the lord can't be the master, the lower officials can also take the lead in suing...... Go to the state capital or even the Shuai Si to take a walk! ”
Song Wen couldn't cry or laugh...... These things, I'm afraid that I can only visit them if I know that the state has made a move! In addition, the Pan family seems to be the number one powerful in this Mizhou territory, even if he wants to subdue the Pan family, he must be well prepared at the imperial court...... At the very least, I have to have a tacit understanding with the Mizhou Zhizhou!
This horse master book...... It seems that there is a certain reason why he was squeezed into this shabby barracks by his colleagues, he is too real, too old-fashioned and too idealistic. But would you dislike such a person? For Song Wen, who has no background and no background in the imperial court...... The more simple and useful literati there are, the better.
Carrots and sticks, Song Wen simply and extremely rudely won the hearts of the small battalion army, but the master of Ma noticed it...... Song Wen and his brothers didn't have any gold seals on their foreheads!
An Chun smiled when he found out, took out a horn seal in his arms, sighed and pressed it on the forehead of a villager soldier next to him, and said to the master of the horse...... "If someone finds fault, that's it...... Lang Jun said, the man's husband is not a prisoner of crime, what kind of bird word is tattooed?"
Luda's forehead can vaguely see the faint tattoo of the Western Army, the two Wu Song brothers are real prisoners with gold seals, and most of the remaining Liangshan heroes also wear gold tattoos.
In the evening, another group of men and horses rushed over from Dengzhou, and at this point, Song Wen finally gathered three hundred Qingshan battalion soldiers in Mizhou, and he let go of some worries in his heart.
The two splashes were beaten with dozens of military sticks, and then thrown to the county government of Mizhou Fuguo County, and the county order immediately ran to the state capital to ask for a meeting with the magistrate, but the magistrate avoided it and only sent one to join the army and scolded the magistrate......
Two scoundrels who trespassed into the barracks deserved to be killed in the barracks, what else do you ask? Just dispose of it as you want.
The county commander was so angry that he scolded in his heart, didn't this let Lao Tzu sit on wax? Pan Yuanwai, you don't want to offend, just let Lao Tzu handle it impartially? How many taxes does Lao Tzu pay all year round, and still count on Pan Daguan to give alms? Otherwise, what will Lao Tzu take to honor you?
Scolding and scolding, the county magistrate still hurried back to the county office, and sure enough, the housekeeper of the Pan official was waiting in the back hall with a bad face......
"The county lord said that Lord Zhizhou asked you to handle it impartially?"
The county commander took a sip of tea to hide the restlessness in his heart, and nodded: "But it's not, the housekeeper can go back and tell the Pan officials, it's not that the official doesn't know the general situation...... It's really a good taste of the south! ”
The housekeeper smiled coldly: "How do you want to judge?"
The county commander frowned: "Since the new ruler can't even afford to provoke Zhizhou, at least he has to be sentenced to thirty canes, and he will be assigned to Cangzhou Prison City Camp for three years!"
The housekeeper snorted coldly and got up and said, "What a vulgar martial artist who can't even be provoked by Zhizhou...... If the adult judges the case like this, my family will lose face! ”
The magistrate blinked his eyes: "Then how about the official take some risks and sentence him to a year?" No matter how little, I'm afraid that Lord Zhizhou won't be able to spare me......"
"Hmph, the county commander is good at himself, the villain will go back and tell my family, and then deal with that vulgar martial artist in the future......"
The county magistrate nodded and watched the arrogant housekeeper disappear outside the door...... I know in my heart that although this Pan Yuanwai is regarded as the queen of the gate, he has been on the road of Li Yan over the years, although he is not valued, but he also has some background! It's a fart thing in Bianliang, but it's not like a thing in the backwoods of Michigan...... Over the years, bullying men and women has also caused a lot of trouble, and his predecessor once scolded this Pan Yu for not being a son of man after being drunk!
The county magistrate cursed, and made up his mind not to participate in the battle between Pan Yuanwai and this Song Xuanzhi...... Anyway, there is Zhizhou on top, and whoever of you has the upper hand will not provoke anyone.
Song Wen hadn't eaten dinner yet, and he was holding a booklet, and Ma and An Chun were checking the number of people in the Mizhou Xiang Army...... A Qingshan battalion guard suddenly walked quickly to the door of the main hall and reported: "Lord Yu, there are people outside the camp gate who ask to see your lord with a gift list."
"Who?"
"The housekeeper of the Pan family in the west of the city, please go to the Yunxiao Tower for a banquet tonight, saying that Pan Yuanwai personally invited the adults to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the adults!"
Song Wen didn't raise his head, and snorted...... "If you accept the gift, you will say that the official is not available!" ”
The Qingshan camp guards agreed to come down, turned around and left.
Master Ma hesitated for a while, but still arched his hand and said: "Song Xuan, that Pan Yuanwai and the previous governors and Mizhou soldiers and horses have some intersections, and they can be regarded as the first heroes in Mizhou!" It also seems to have some connections in the imperial court, and has been named a member of the military department...... Although he didn't have to send an officer, he also had a martial arts rank! Jurisdiction ...... Do you really want to rectify this Pan Yuanwai?"
Song Wen replied without raising his head: "The imperial court will soon use troops against Northern Liao, who has time to deal with a local bully like him?" I have done some homework before, and most of the fertile land and minerals in Mizhou are under the name of this Pan Yuanwai, and even the city gate tax is collected by his master on behalf of the yamen...... There are seventy or eighty scoundrel thugs in the portal to protect the hospital, bullying men and women and committing a lot of evil things! Successive governors pretended not to know, and several county commanders tolerated and connived...... Don't think I don't know that he co-opted and manipulated two Xiang troops, Yu Hou, in the name of suppressing bandits, to expel and occupy more than a dozen villages in two lower counties in the northeast of Mizhou, and jointly occupy more than 7,000 acres of fertile land! ”
Master Ma was dumbfounded, and looked directly at the young soldier in front of him...... Song Wen continued: "The four counties of Mizhou have vast land but a sparse population, and the people are hungry and miserable! First, the poor countryside of Michigan is indeed poor, and secondly, this bully Pan Yu is a big tumor scum in Michigan! ”
Master Ma looked excited and said, "Song Zhan really dares to move this Pan Yuanwai?"
"I need proof! The more the better, to be able to raise his witnesses and suffer from the Lord...... He seized the number of fields and property, the evidence of murder! The crime of colluding with the Xiang army in the name of suppressing bandits will be put aside for the time being, and this matter must be understood...... Song is not afraid of him, so he can dispose of him! But you can't involve the box army too deeply! ”
Master Ma hesitated for a long time, and then bowed his hand...... "The lower officials know, if the adults can get rid of this harm for Mizhou!" Blessed are the people......"
