Chapter 180: Inspector's Car (2)
Shu Yan stopped the car and couldn't help but wonder: "In just one year, why are there so many more cars and horses on the street?" ”
The two officers approached the car, one left and one right, and Zhang Chi on the left smiled and said, "How can you not know the order?" This is all the 'credit' of Yang Jun. When the first emperor died last year, Yang Jun had ordered: 'Those who pre-mourn are all advanced to the first class', this edict does not matter, it is equivalent to half of the officials in Luoyang City have improved the first-class treatment, and the car driving will naturally be improved. ”
"This is worth it, my Celestial Empire is a etiquette system, so that if there is no sense of proportion, the roads on the streets are occupied by them, and they are rampage, making ordinary people hide one after another. Besides, Yang Jun's edict was originally absurd, and it should have been abolished a long time ago, so how could it continue to harm it? I must brake this wind today. ”
"It's okay to get by, and I advise the order to leave this idle matter alone. Didn't you think like this before, but in the end, it's not over? Liu Bao persuaded beside the car on the right.
Shu Yan sneered and said: "I, Shu, have always been conscientious in doing things, and since I have received this car government order, I must do this errand well." I've got that in mind. ”
Suddenly, I heard the sound of shouting, only to see a calf cart slowly coming, four oxen driving side by side, Zhu Lun red curtain red screen mud, except for the white top cover and the blue platform, the whole body is red, there are several horseback servants in front and rear of the vehicle to support, after the road is broken, the people have avoided the roadside. Shu Yan jumped out of the car and stopped in front of the car, and the royal husband hurriedly pulled the bridle and stopped the car. His master was sitting comfortably in the car, enjoying the street scene, when suddenly the car stopped without his own orders, and just as he was about to ask, he saw three people standing in front of the car, and they knew that they were from the Taifu Temple. When he encountered a company inspection, he was not nervous and slowly got out of the car. Shu Yan observed this person, who was in his thirties, wearing a cloth crown on his head, and his clothes were very gorgeous, but he was not an official uniform, and he looked like a child of a family who was not in office.
"This is He Hao He Gongzi, whose father was the founder of the country and was named the county marquis. After his father's death, because he was a concubine, the title was attacked by his eldest brother. He Hao was dissolute by nature and did not like to be an official, but he was very cherished by his father, and his inheritance was biased, resulting in countless family fortunes. ”
Shu Yan glanced at Zhang Chi, who was fluent in narration, and said with a smile: "It seems that you know each other?" ”
Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
He Hao arched his hand at Shu Yan, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what this official has to do, what is the matter with stopping him on the way down?" ”
Shu Yan also bowed his hand: "Under the new Chefu order, I am inspecting the passing cars, may I ask this son, what is his position, what rank is it, but he is a courtier?" ”
"I have never been an official, I have not been knighted, let alone ranked."
"The level of the guard of honor of the car dealer is clearly stipulated, even the secretary of the dynasty must abide by it, dare not trespass, as a common man, you should be light and simple, why are you so ostentatious?"
"Law enforcement must be a prophet of the law, since you are the new Chefu Commander, let me ask you first, where am I not in compliance with the etiquette law?"
This is a test of your business level. Shu Yan smiled lightly: "First of all, your many riders are hugging each other before and after, so that they are not publicized." ”
"What's the solution, my family has a lot of servants, and taking my own servants to the street is not a violation, right?"
"Of course, it is not illegal for your family to have many servants, but you connived at them to shout in the streets, and everywhere you go, the people are chaotic and evasive, shouldn't it?"
"Uh......" Although He Gongzi was speechless for a while, he raised his head to the side.
"Besides, your car itself, if you take an ordinary calf cart, forget it, and the ox that drives it will use four heads, and it will be a donkey, what does it mean?"
He Gongzi sighed: "What does it mean?" That's right, it means that I have money, and the average farmer wants six or eight families to share one cow, but my family has too many cattle to count, just four cows, what's the fuss? ”
"Hugh has to avoid the real and be false." Shu Yan shouted, "The car driven by the prince is not allowed to ride, more than 2,000 stones, and it is only limited to the suburban temple, and you are not eligible to ride on other occasions, as a child of the family, you won't know it, right?" ”
"Si is the meaning of four horses, the ride of the donkey is terrible, the rules set in ancient times, of course I know, so I didn't dare to use four horses to drive, but to use four oxen!"
Shu Yan reprimanded: "Strong words! When the ox is used for driving, it is the same as the horse, and even the emperor's halogen book, the ox cart also occupies a place, and its specifications and etiquette are also completely based on the standard of the carriage, and there is another point, the ox owner cultivates, is the foundation of agriculture, and should not be diverted for other purposes, your use is four heads, isn't it more guilty than a horse? ”33
In the face of Shu Yan's serious and powerful questioning, He Hao was speechless, bowed his head and lowered his hands, and his attitude was not so arrogant.
"And the most unforgivable thing is your car."
"What's wrong with my car, I'm not used to walking when I go out, so I'm not allowed to ride?"
"Knowingly, do you want me to give you some advice?" Shu Yan asked rhetorically, "It's okay to take a car, but your car deliberately imitates the shape of the imperial court's car, and even the color of every place, the hub, the car cover and even the inconspicuous screen mud are all exactly the same, completely intentional to imitate, confuse the people, and damage the image of the imperial court, only with this article, according to the law, ...... according to law."
"Wait." He Gongzi suddenly interrupted Shu Yan's words and said, "The world is like this, why should the officials be embarrassed by me, I also know the rules here." As he spoke, he took out a jade Ruyi and a few strings of money from the car, and handed the money to Zhang Chi and Liu Bao, and said to Shu Yan, "This little money, give it to these two." As for the foot, forgive me for going out hastily and without preparation, I would like to talk about this jade Ruyi. ”
Shu Yan looked at this jade Ruyi, the size of a palm, finely carved, crystal clear, a rough estimate, no less than tens of thousands of dollars.
The official takes the big head and the servant takes the small head, this is a consistent practice, and the two deputy officers certainly understand. They also think that Shu Yan is so rigorous, but he is just pretending, just to extort some money.
"What are you going to do?" Shu Yan shouted fiercely at the two subordinates.
Zhang Chi and Liu Bao were just about to reach out for the money, but they shrank back in fright. He Gongzi was also stunned, stretched his loose sleeves, and asked bottomlessly: "Aren't you too few officials?" ”
The two of them didn't know why, so they only looked at Shu Yan. I saw Shu Yan suddenly smile heartily, "The gentleman is frank, who do you think of me Shu Yan?" Although I don't have much money, I have never taken ill-gotten gains! ”
"Shu-" He Gongzi suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands and said, "Is it the former Shang Shulang, the Shu Shangren who is famous in the government and the opposition?" ”
The two agents really got to know Shu Yan, admired it very much, and said one after another: "The Chefu orders we have followed have always been accommodating with people's money, except for Shu Ling, how can there be such a frank gentleman?" I used to hear about its name, but I thought it was just a fallacy, but today I witness it with my own eyes! ”
He Hao saw that what Shu Yan said was the Tao, and he was iron-faced and selfless, and he knew that he couldn't be accommodating, but he was still not very convinced, and said with a smile, "Shu Ling is extremely accused, he violated the etiquette system and was willing to be punished, but there is still a sentence to ask below: Does Shu Ling enforce the law equally, or is it selectively differentiated?" ”
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, how can there be any difference? What do you mean by that? ”
"Shu Ling, don't ask knowingly." He Hao pointed to the street and said to Shu Yan, "Nowadays, there are many people who exceed the etiquette system and use the car without authorization. Shu Ling, don't just pick up people like us to enforce the law, do you dare to touch the powerful and powerful? ”
"As long as I Shu sees it, there is nothing I dare not check."
"That's good. My calf cart is nothing, and the car is a symbol of the power of the dynasty. In those safe cars that come and go, can you guarantee that the people sitting inside must be the ministers? If Shu Ling can check them together, he can convince me. ”
"You'll see."
As he was talking, he only heard the crisp sound of horses' hooves, and from the east front, a two-horse carriage drove to the ground, with a black cover on the red wheel, and a five-way dragon flag was hung on it. Anche is worthy of being exclusive to high-ranking officials, not only very wide, elegant car decoration, but also to maximize the comfort of the passengers, no bumps, good closure, no fear in winter and summer, and will not feel very tired after a long ride. If it is open, it will be cool, and if it is closed, it will be warm. The windows and curtains of this car are open, and a young man is sitting in the car. This man's crown dress is very special, wearing a strange style of pointed horned crown hat, and wearing a black court robe.
Zhang Chi and Liu Bao didn't know this person, but they knew this dress. In particular, the peculiar crown hat, called the Dharma Crown, was the exclusive property of magistrates such as the court lieutenant. Thus I also guessed his approximate identity, which should be a subordinate officer of Ting Weiqing, a rank below a thousand stones. The official is really not big, this car can't be provoked, not to mention that there are so many subordinates, so he still cowers and doesn't dare to step forward to stop him. In desperation, Shu Yan personally went into battle and stopped him.
When a horseback attendant in front of the car saw that someone had stopped the car, he immediately raised his horsewhip and ordered Shu Yan to get out of the way, but of course Shu Yan refused to let go. The attendant picked up the horsewhip and waved it on Shu Yan's head.
At this time, Zhang Chi and Liu Bao saw that the other party was overwhelming, and they had already shrunk to the back. Shu Yan was not afraid, he dodged one by one, dodged the horse whip, and before the second whip came, he had already come to the side of the horse, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled the person off the horse and fell to the ground. When the rest of the slaves saw this, they immediately swarmed over with swords and whips. Shu Yan swung two punches and put down two more. At the same time, the saber was drawn, and the two sides confronted each other. Although there are many of these powerful slaves, no one dares to step forward when they see that Shu Yan is powerful.
"It's amazing that you dare to attack the imperial court officials in broad daylight!" Shu Yan said angrily.
The boy glanced out of the car, and immediately two servants approached and helped him out of the car. Walking up to Shu Yan, the two of them were stunned.
"It turned out to be Brother Shangren, misunderstanding, complete misunderstanding. These people are my house slaves, not servants, and they have no knowledge, and they don't know that Brother Shangren is working on an errand. ”
Whether it was a true misunderstanding or a false misunderstanding, since the other party spoke like this, Shu Yan didn't want to delve into it, so he tried his best to calm down and said: "I haven't recognized it at a glance, it turns out to be Xun Gongzi, I haven't seen him for many days, so I want to find another high?" ”
Some people died, but not completely......
