Su Shi, who has been kind to people all his life, can't help but kill people, it can be seen that the actions of Jia Daoquan and others made him extremely angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to use extreme means to solve these scourges.

Su Shi is rare to be bold.

They all have murderous intentions.

But Li Kui had to bite the bullet and tell Su Shi that this method would not work: "Master, don't be impatient, although these people are full of evil, I'm afraid you can't kill them." ”

"Why is that?"

Su Shi twisted his neck, his eyes breathed fire, his momentum was like a god, and his extremely sharp eyes warned Li Kui: "Boy, don't try to fool me!" ”

That's pretty much what it means!

Li Kui said eagerly: "Master, these people are the most evil, but what they worship on the surface at the moment is a normal transaction, there is no coercion, and there is no death or injury. Some of them use the money in their hands to make private loans, and the borrowers are unable to repay the money, so they have to transfer the collateral. They are not afraid of fighting this lawsuit, even if it is put in the court, they will not be offended. It's all things that can be put on the bright side. We can't do anything about them. Killed, it is a matter of grass and human life. You can't pass the Yushi pass. ”

Although the trumped-up charges are very bullish, they can kill people without any reason, and no official in the Great Song Dynasty will probably be able to do it. Because of the manslaughter and misjudgment of the case, it is a common thing. can kill innocents indiscriminately, even if Yushi thinks that Su Shi is not wrong, he can't sit idly by. If someone really hangs himself at the door of Jia Dao's house after being bullied, it will be easy to do.

Forget Jia Daoquan to death in a daze, at least this person is dead, and the case will be much easier. Even Xu Rang can see that Jia Daoquan is the backbone of these people and the key to the case, can't Su Shi and Li Kui understand it?

"The old man is out of the ......"

"Master, even if you kill people now, it can't be solved by killing one or two. In this case, there are no less than dozens of people involved, and even hundreds of people may be involved. There are people who often close positions, there are rice merchants, and even people from the Jingjie Institute, and now we don't even have time to find evidence, and we are facing even greater trouble. According to the records of previous years, the price of rice will skyrocket in another ten days.

Last year, when this rice family was at its highest, a bucket of rice exceeded 120 Wen.

After the floods in Yingzhou in previous years, the price of rice was too high, which can also be said. But Master, the problems we encountered were different, Yingzhou obviously had enough grain to stabilize the price of rice, but it was hidden by life. Even these people are not ready to turn food into money at all, even if they destroy it, they will also cause a shortage of food in Yingzhou. ”

Su Shi said with annoyance: "I can also see this, all the grain in a righteous warehouse is **, I'm afraid this is not the food of the past few years at all." Most of the Yicang in Yingzhou is rice, and there is no problem in storing it for four or five years. It's been like that, at least six or seven years of grain. Three granaries can't get together so much ** grain. Apparently it was dropped. ”

Su Shi shouted to kill people, but it was just to boost his confidence, and the killing shouts were earth-shattering, but if he really wanted to kill, he would hesitate. It was only when he considered that the need for military maintenance was the only way to stop a possible crisis. The army of the Great Song Dynasty was spread all over the territory, and it was not only in the capital. As long as Su Shi reports to the imperial court, there is a possibility of a civil uprising in Yingzhou, and he can come to the army, which is not too difficult.

To investigate the evidence of these people's crimes, we have to start from the eighth year of Yuanfeng, but the problem is that the eighth year of Yuanfeng is almost seven or eight years away from now, nearly ten years younger, and the files at that time may not be found, let alone witnesses and evidence.

Even if the case can be investigated, the manpower and material resources consumed are unimaginable predicaments.

The key is time, and time waits for no one.

It is difficult to find useful clues without three or five months. This is still the time when all the witnesses are on the ground in Yingzhou, and it is easy to summon them anytime and anywhere. If someone leaves, they have to ask in a different place, and it will take a lot of money just to walk on the road.

As a last resort, Su Shi set his sights on the other two intact warehouses, these two warehouses of grain, nothing can be a problem.

But Su Shi was in trouble, and the warehouse supervisor couldn't believe it, but everyone in his hands was available. Such a large granary, management plus custody, at least hundreds of people.

But Su Shi looked at it.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

There are only five people he can mobilize, or he can trust, and in his eyes, there are only three adults who can take on big things. He, Gao Yu, and his son Su Guo. As for Li Kui and Li Yun, they are both half-grown children, not to mention whether they are stable or not, they don't even have a chance to fight with criminals.

As for what Zhou Yuan said in his letter, Li Kui has the courage of ten thousand people?

Su Shi didn't see it.

He found that Li Kui had a picky mouth, and his preference for food matched him very well. Well, they all have foodies, but Su Shi can eat, but the level of cooking is worrying, he mainly relies on the craftsmanship of his concubine Wang Chaoyun to feel the beauty of food. As for Li Kui, he can eat and make this product, but he is surprisingly lazy.

It's that Pingli rarely shoots.

But these skills, in the eyes of the most vicious criminals, are things that cannot save their lives.

Even he was very worried about his son Su Guo, after all, Su Shi was not afraid of the warehouse supervisor Jia Daoquan at all, and if he killed him, the world would inevitably shake. The rebellion of the Liukou in the Great Song Dynasty is very strange, and I look forward to being recruited every day, so I won't talk about it. Liukou can kill generals and eunuchs, but they can never kill civilian officials. Once the civil official was killed, the road to Zhao'an was cut off. The court and the rogues have become a situation of endless death.

The official army of the Great Song Dynasty could not defeat the army of the Liao State, and it was also a victory and a defeat against the Western Xia, which was in a corner of peace.

Saying that a tie is not shy or impatient.

The main thing is that the Great Song Dynasty defeated the Western Xia War, basically it was a great victory to be able to destroy thousands of people, there were many such big victories, and even according to the ratio of victory and defeat, the Great Song Dynasty was absolutely superior. However, Emperor Shenzong's biggest defeat in Western Xia was a loss of 400,000 people, and the army alone was more than 100,000. This requires a hundred big victories for a big defeat, and he doesn't have the face to say that he is fighting with Western Xia.

But the officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty bullied the anti-thieves, and they hit one by one.

If Su Shi's share falls into the hands of the anti-thief, the leader of the anti-thief will have to meet the donor of good food and drink once a day, ask if there is any dissatisfaction in the enemy camp, the weather is cold, do you want more people to warm the bed...... This is not a hostage at all, but an uncle. The ferocious rebel leader did not dare to snub the bachelor, because he still hoped that after surrendering that day and being recruited, the scholar would say two good words to promote his wealth.

Even if Jia Daoquan was preparing to rebel, Su Shi did not dare to move.

What's more, Jia Daoquan is just greedy, and he doesn't even dare to have the intention of rebellion.

Su Shi's safety naturally doesn't have to worry, but Su Guo said something else, which made Su Shi very troubled. Killing Su Shi is a provocation to the authority of the civilian cluster, and it is a great rebellion. But there is no problem at all in killing Su Guo, because Su Guo is not even a Jinshi, even if he is Su Shi's son, he can't be a bargaining chip.

As for Gao Yu......

I can't even take care of my own son, what else do I have to think about the life of the little girl?

Moreover, at the moment, there is a shortage of manpower, and Gao Yu is also easy to use, even Li Kui and Li Yun can't escape. Su Guo also felt the depression of the atmosphere, and proposed: "Father, there are few of us, and the people in the yamen don't know how many credible people there are?" Only Lord Xu is an upright person who has the heart to eliminate evil, and he has been in Yingzhou for many years, so there may be people available. Together, we may be able to bring Jia Daoquan and others to justice. ”

Xu Rang does have the intention of getting rid of Jia Daoquan, but Su Shi is afraid that it is not a secret now, and the more people who know his response, the more risk of being betrayed. How could he possibly let Xu Rang's people do things for him?

Especially Xu Rang's mind is too obvious, if Jia Daoquan and others are also on guard, the first one to guard against should be Xu Rang. Even Xu Rangbian will have Jia Daoquan's spies, secretly communicating with thieves.

Besides, Su Shi didn't have a way to solve Jia Daoquan at all, and he didn't even have a way to prepare food. Even for a while, it was difficult for him to understand how these people could leverage such a huge wealth, if it wasn't for Li Kui to say something, he would have listened to it, and now his eyes are still dark.

After thinking about it, he shook his head and vetoed: "Uncle Xu Bao is upright, but it is inevitable that there are unsecreted people under him, otherwise he would not have been in Yingzhou for four years, but he has never been able to get the evidence of Jia Daoquan and others." It can be seen that he also has no good way to find evidence. For now, we can only control the grain in the other two granaries first, and we can maintain the price of grain for at least one month. It also needs to be calm and respond to change. Therefore, although Uncle Bao is credible, he is only one person, so don't ask him for help at this time. At least now the timing is not right. ”

Not only that, Su Shi also thought that if he failed, he would not be able to find the incriminating evidence of Jia Daoquan and others within the year?

Isn't it very shameless?

What's even more shameless is that even if he knows the goal of the thieves, he can only watch them get rich, but he is helpless.

He was even ready to stay in Yingzhou for a few more years and spend it with Jia Daoquan and others. As for the court, as long as the reason is stated, I believe that the princes will also understand. Su Shi frowned and said: "I'm afraid that the idle son can't live now, so let's go to the mansion to live first?" ”

The news of Mr. Su's move is not concerned about the people of Yingzhou at all. No matter how popular his old man is, ordinary people still can't feel the vast literary aura of Master Su. Most of the people who admire him very much are half-hangers like Qin Wenguang. This is Su Shi's diehard group.

Besides, it's about to be ploughed, and the old man has had enough, do you care about the government affairs of Yingzhou?

After going to the state yamen, he lived in the yamen, which was convenient for handling government affairs. But there was a group of people who were very confused by Su Shi's reaction, not only confused, but even nervous.

In Yingzhou City, in the most prosperous market, the signboard of Tongfulou is hung high, and there is an endless stream of diners.

In the private room on the second floor, several middle-aged men wearing regular clothes but stepping on official boots sat in the private room.

The delicacies on the dining table did not move, but several two-pound wine urns had been piled up on each person's dining table, and a bowl of sweet sake was poured.

Jia Daoquan, Sun Zhuo, and Liu An are all from Yingzhou, they have almost the same experience, and some of them were officials in their ancestors, and in this generation, they received the grace of the imperial court, so they became a warehouse supervisor who did not enter the stream.

The warehouse supervisor is an official, not like an official.

At least, the official uniforms of the warehouse supervisor are not sent by the imperial court, and they have to do it themselves, and then the cloth cannot be made of high-end fabrics such as silk brocade, only linen cloth, and it must be green in color. The silk dyeing is at least bright, but after the linen cloth is dyed, it is as disgusting as if it was pulled from the cemetery.

The warehouse supervisor seems to be an official, but he is not an official. It is not easy to support a family on Weibo.

Don't even want to live like a decent person.

The kindness of the Great Song Dynasty to the officials will not fall on the heads of the warehouse supervisors who do not enter the stream. Like the Jinshi of the Eight Classics, after the Taixue gave up their lives and entered the office, they were able to get a professor for the last time. If you're lucky, you'll be a county. If it is Sandingjia, the champion, as soon as he enters the officialdom, he may be the title of the general judge, although it is unlikely that these new science and technology scholars will be allowed to govern the place. But there will be no deduction at all, a civil official's title and an official's salary, just like Zhou Yuan, a month's income is ninety. The county order is 60 yuan, and there is also a bonus subsidy for 30 yuan of civil and prose officials.

Not only that, every month the imperial court will also distribute cloth and grain to officials, including charcoal in winter, ice in summer, and official uniforms, which can be received every month.

Therefore, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty can get very decent, at least not like the officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties, in order to pretend to be honest, they wear patched official uniforms.

The Great Song Dynasty did not give officials the opportunity to be embarrassed at all.

But this kind of generosity does not belong to the warehouse supervisor.

They are officials, but they do the work of officials, and their treatment is more like Xu. Therefore, the officials of the warehouse supervisor, except for the high-ranking officials at the road level, just like the officials who need to be appointed to promote the Changping Division, most of the local squires are concurrent. Even if his own chief is subordinate to the yamen, he doesn't like to see the warehouse supervisors under him. Because the main work of the Changping Division is to collect taxes on salt, tea, iron, etc. The warehouse supervisors who often close positions are all raised by their mothers in the eyes of their bosses.

So much so that no one in the warehouse supervisor will be willing to wear their embarrassing official uniform, and they usually go out in regular clothes and take office.

The same is true for these three people.

is the first person, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a slightly dark complexion, giving people a steady attitude of not being angry and self-assured. The next one is accompanied by a burly man who gives people a rude appearance, and at the bottom is a face where you can still see a trace of the handsomeness of your youth, and there is a sense of civility.

All three of them were drinking, bowl after bowl.

Beneath the flush of the face is a restless heart.

"Big brother, why don't we stop this year?"

The man at the bottom spoke.

"Liu An, what do you mean? Stop, stop at this time, are you afraid? Rude people often have a temper, and they reprimand when they open their mouths, they don't show signs of shutting down, but shouting: "If it weren't for the eighth brother of Yuanfeng who took us to make a vote, would you and I have the scenery today?" Rice shop, restaurant, pawnshop, ...... like that"

"Shut up!" The person at the head was Jia Daoquan, who was hated by Xu Rang, and he was trembling angrily by Sun Zhuo's unobstructed ball. How many things, leaked in the end, are the bane left by an unreliable mouth?

"Big brother, Xu put you and my brother to death, he must have hurt me in front of Zhizhou, and I can't wait to do something to him."

Bang –

Jia Daoquan slapped the wine bowl and said angrily: "Who are you going to kill?" ”

Liu An said nervously: "Second brother, you should say a few words with this mouth, right?" Now that Bachelor Su has moved into the back office, he must have heard Xu Rang's bewitchment, if I embarrass Bachelor again, there will be a way for you and me to live? ”

"Say less? Just to let someone listen to your frustration? ”

Jia Daoquan's head was also buzzing, he was put on fire, and it was impossible to stop: "Our brother's business today is all legitimate business, you and I want business, he Su Shi is famous all over the world, but what can I do?" ”

After saying this, Jia Daoquan seemed to be blessed with righteousness, and the whole person gave people a sense of greatness and detachment, confidence and contentment.

On the side, Liu An reminded in a low voice: "Big brother, we just changed a warehouse of rotten grain, and let the water be flushed, if we really find out on your and my heads, it will be a big crime." ”

Jia Daoquan stared at the dismantled brother with a dead fish-like gaze, and he couldn't say a word angrily.
