Chapter 7 Killing the Good and Risking the Merit
Zuo Dao and others stayed at an inn in Guobei County for one night.
Early the next morning.
When the crowd was about to leave, they found that on the street, pedestrians were hurrying away, as if they were hiding from something.
The further they went, the more panicked the pedestrians became.
It didn't take long for them to see several officials holding steel knives and portraits in the other, grabbing passers-by for comparison.
As soon as there was a similarity, he was shackled and prepared to be dragged to the county government to receive the reward.
This scene instantly made Zhao Hu angry, and he immediately shouted: "Bastard things, the imperial court allocated a reward for silver, and actually let these killing materials that kill good and merit be taken away." ”
Not far away, the officials who were comparing the portraits also heard this scolding.
Several people stepped forward with steel knives in their hands, raised their fingers and pointed at Zhao Hu, who was wearing civilian clothes, and scolded: "Where did you come from, dare to take care of your uncle's affairs." ”
One of them looked at the men on horseback, his eyes rolling.
Then he said: "I think a few of you are like the mountain bandits who have broken into my Guobei County in recent days, all of them dismount Lao Tzu and go to the county government with us." ”
When Zhao Hu heard this, he was immediately furious, and immediately picked up the horsewhip and whipped it.
One person was whipped, and the two people who smoked fell directly to the ground.
Someone shouted loudly: "You dare to beat the official, it's against you." ”
As he finished speaking, he saw a token thrown directly into his mouth.
He hurriedly took out the token and looked at it, and immediately knelt on the ground with weak knees, and kowtowed again and again: "My lord, forgive me, it was I who admitted my mistake and didn't know the majesty of the Jinyi Guard." ”
When the other officials heard the three words of Jinyiwei, they were immediately frightened and knelt on the ground.
Behind Zhao Hu, one person turned over and dismounted, looked at the portrait in the hands of the official and others, and compared it with the person who was arrested.
A scholar with a weak body was actually recognized as a tall bandit.
This group of damned killers only know how to coax the court's reward all day long, and the corpse should be killed.
Zuo Dao also frowned, and said: "Take a few of them, let's go to the county office, I want to see how the county order here disciplines his subordinates." ”
Although their trip was to Linya City, the purpose of this trip was to rectify the officialdom of Youzhou.
Also Youzhou a Qingming.
Moreover, Jinyiwei has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials.
This Guobei County Order connived at his subordinates to kill good people and take risks, which was a clear pit to harm the people, and also cheated money from the hands of the imperial court.
This matter is in his left hand.
The group came to the Guobei County Ya, and the officials in charge of guarding the door watched their former colleagues being pressed over.
My heart trembled for no reason.
Then he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Who are you waiting for?" How dare you do it to the officials? ”
Zhao Hu sneered and threw out the Jinyi Wei token in his hand.
The man just glanced at it, and hurriedly stepped forward with Xiaoxiao, and then secretly beckoned his colleagues to inform the county master.
The crowd dismounted and entered the county office.
Zuo Dao sat directly in the main seat, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were on both sides.
It didn't take long for him to see the county commander walking forward in disheveled clothes, and arched his hand at Zuodao: "I don't know that the adults of Jinyiwei are coming, and I hope that the adults will forgive me!" ”
When he lowered his head, he also glanced at the few officials kneeling in the field, and suddenly realized a lot.
The secret way in my heart is not good.
Zuo Dao opened his mouth and said: "You are the county magistrate of Guobei County?" ”
The county magistrate bowed down and said with a smile: "If you go back to your lordship, the next official is the county magistrate of Guobei County, I don't know what your lord is doing this time?" ”
Zhao Hu took a step forward and said, "Do you know these kneeling people?" ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he hurriedly said: "They are all the officials of my county government, how can I not know them, but where did they provoke the adults?" ”
When Zhao Hu heard this, he stepped forward with the scholar and threw the portrait in his hand on the ground.
said: "How many things have they done?" ”
When the county magistrate heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and then he kicked the official on his side to the ground.
said: "Okay, you fool, you dare to kill a good person and deceive the official, this is a felony of killing the head, do you know?" ”
As he spoke, he punched and kicked several officials to the ground.
Zuo Dao frowned slightly and said, "That's enough." ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he stopped out of breath.
Then he said: "Lord Qiyu, these people went to arrest the key criminals on the orders of the lower officials, but I didn't expect them to be so hateful, killing good people and risking merit, such a serious crime, fortunately I met the adults, otherwise the lower officials would have been kept in the dark." ”
With these words, he plucked himself clean.
Those officials wanted to defend themselves, but after seeing the murderous eyes of the county commander, they suddenly stopped.
They were originally ordered by the county magistrate to find some unlucky people to blame.
After all, those who want to commit crimes are ruthless people who carry more than a dozen lives on their backs, and they are happy to find some unlucky people to bear the blame, and they are happy.
But who would have thought that he would actually run into a brocade guard from Kyoto.
It also hit a head.
Zuo Dao looked at the county order in front of him, and then looked at the few officials who were guilty of killing their heads but didn't dare to say a word.
Then he smiled and said: "If that's the case, then it seems that the official has misunderstood the adult." ”
The county commander smiled: "It's okay, after all, my lord is new to here, and it's normal to be a little ignorant of the situation." ”
Zuo Dao glanced at Zhao Hu and said, "Since these officials deceived their superiors and subordinates, killed good people and risked merit, and deceived the court to reward silver, then kill them for the county order!" ”
When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately stepped forward with a cruel smile, and took out the embroidered spring knife on his waist to cut it off.
As soon as some officials wanted to speak, they listened to the county order: "My lord is wise, it is not a pity for these officials to die, but how innocent their families are, this killing is a scandal, and it should not be suitable for sitting together." ”
Hearing the opening of the county order, several officials instantly turned to ashes, kneeling there quietly without saying a word.
Zuo Dao glanced at the county order.
This killing is not a crime of joint sitting, and it seems that this county order is also a ruthless person.
actually threatened the families of these officials in a brazen manner.
It seems that there is a lot of cat greasy.
Zhao Hu glanced back at Zuo Dao, only to see Zuo Dao waving his hand casually.
Zhao Hu slashed down in an instant.
After a few knives went down in succession, several officials kneeling in the field instantly crossed the spot.
Zuo Dao opened his mouth and said: "This official accepted the order to come to Youzhou, but I didn't expect this first stop to open his eyes, the county commander is really a wonderful person." ”
The county commander smiled: "My lord said that it is not a pity for these guys to die, it is their honor to be able to die under the knife of the adult." ”
"But now most of Youzhou has fallen into the scourge of demons, mountain bandits and bandits are everywhere, the officials are in danger, and the people are in dire straits."
"A few years ago, Kyoto-sama also came, but it's a pity that ......, alas."
"This time the adults came, we finally saw hope, and I hope that the adults can save us and the people of Youzhou from fire and water."
