Although Fang Caixia married the son of the Zhou family at the age of sixteen, she was widowed, and the son of the Zhou family fell and drowned before she could go to the house.

So up to now, she is a yellow flower girl.

In ancient times, there were many ways to verify the innocence of the body, such as sneezing wind, guarding the palace sand, and dripping blood, but there were only two most reliable methods, one was to look at the red, and the other was to check the body of the woman.

Among them, the latter began in the Han Dynasty and was the main method for the royal family to choose concubines to verify their innocence. The same is true for the marriage of large private families, which is comparable to the pre-marital examination of later generations.

Zhao Jun had long known that the other party might coerce the villagers, and even if Wen Po appeared directly, he was also likely to be coerced by the other party. Therefore, without the knowledge of Wen Po, he paid them to verify it, and then wrote down the documents and asked them to sign and draw them, which constituted legal effect.

At least in the Song Dynasty, a dynasty that valued contracts, the legal effect was established after the painting was drawn. This means that those stable women can indeed testify that Fang Caixia is still innocent, and adultery is completely false.

As soon as this document came out, it basically slapped the faces of everyone present, including Shi County's order, so that everyone's faces were very ugly, especially the villagers who had made perjury just now.

Because they had committed perjury before, they could comfort themselves in their hearts, and they themselves didn't know if Fang Caixia had committed adultery. What if he really committed adultery and was discovered by the Zhou family, so he asked the Wang family to send someone to soak the pig cage? That Fang Caixia's death has nothing to do with them.

Now that Fang Caixia's innocence has been verified, it means that they were actually framing an innocent woman before, making her almost lose her life in vain.

It was forbidden on the field for a while.

The landlord of the king coughed and said: "It is still unknown whether this document is true or false, not to mention that even if it is true, it may be that you coerced Wen Po." ”

Zhao Jun said with a smile: "This is interesting, it's better to do this, I will write to the Huainan Road transfer envoy and the criminal department, and under the witness of the transfer envoy and the promotion, I will find other stable women to verify the correct body, do you think it is good?" ”

Shi Xian Ling said with a dry smile: "A little thing, you don't need to bother to transfer the envoy and lift." ”

"A trifle?"

Zhao Jun glared angrily: "Human life is greater than the sky, and it is a trivial matter to care about human life?" What a great official in Shixian County! As one of your parents in charge, you should maintain the peace of the people, but you deceive your superiors and subordinates and help them abuse, and you are also worthy of being an official of the imperial court? ”

Shi Xianling's face turned indifferent, and he looked left and right, if he said it before, he could pretend that he didn't know, or respected the local clan rules and regulations to excuse himself.

But now people directly say that they colluded with the king and landlord and disregarded people's lives, which is tearing their faces.

Scholars also have to be face-saving.

There are some things that can be done secretly, but they can't be exposed in broad daylight, although it is night, but there are too many people around, and his reputation spreads, and his career is completely ruined.

Therefore, Shi County Ling resolutely refused to admit it, and angrily reprimanded: "What nonsense is this guy talking about, what kind of careless life? This is the Zhou family's own family matter, and it must be punished according to the clan rules, what does it have to do with the county? What should you be guilty of slandering the officials of the court? ”

"What I see with my own eyes is also called slander?"

"Huh."

The county commander sneered: "All this is your own speculation, is there any evidence?" ”

"Interesting."

Zhao Jun nodded with a smile and waved his hand: "It is an indisputable fact that the Wang family cares about human life, and all of them are arrested and interrogated, but those who resist will be killed." ”

"You dare!"

The county magistrate's eyes widened in disbelief.

But at this time, a shocking roar erupted around the village, and hundreds of Hulala Praetorian Guards swarmed in, surrounding the village and surrounding everyone.

These soldiers were all dressed in leather armor and crossbows, and they were equipped with sword and shield bearers, spearmen and spearmen in the front, crossbowmen in the back, and even cavalry.

The county commander was shocked and said: "How can you forbidden army arrest people at will in the local area, who gave you the power?" ”

"The official gave it!"

Zhao Jun took out the waist card of the Imperial City Division from his waist and said: "I am still a member of the Imperial City Division, since last year, the official family has given the Imperial City Division the right to review and arrest, I bumped into it, the Imperial City Division handled the case, it is reasonable!" ”

The county commander was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Even though you have the heavy responsibility of going to Yingzhou to establish the Imperial City Division, but this is Bozhou!" ”

"It's okay."

Zhao Jun said with a smile: "At least now the Imperial City Division has not yet demarcated the jurisdiction of various regions, and the official family and the prefect have given us the right to act cheaply, that is, as long as we run into it, we have the right to manage it." ”

The county order was like ashes in an instant.

Last year, the news that the Imperial City Division showed its might in Bianliang naturally spread all over the world, and I have long heard how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been arrested and how many criminals have been cut.

Although the power of the Imperial City Division is now limited to Kaifeng Mansion, the fact that the high-ranking prefect wants to spread the Imperial City Division all over the country and set up branches in various counties, prefectures, and roads has long been spread in the government and the opposition.

It is said that it will be established throughout the country from this year to next year to restore the glory of the martial arts of the past.

And what is even worse than Wu De is that in the past, Wu De Zhu did not have the right to arrest at least locally, but now that the Imperial City Division has it, the other party can reach the heavens, and this matter is really difficult to handle.

"Arrest someone!"

Zhao Jun didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and with an order, in all the panic, hundreds of soldiers swarmed to arrest them.

The landlord of the king still shouted, saying that his younger brother and Guo Zhizhou would definitely report to the court for impeaching him for abusing the law.

Obviously, he was used to being arrogant in the local area, and he thought that there was a middle and high-level governor in his family, and he could do whatever he wanted in a county, but he didn't know that the imperial court had already changed at this time.

The surrounding Praetorian Guards quickly controlled all the people of the Wang family.

Shi Xianling's face was pale, and he trembled with anger, he never expected that the Imperial City Division would be so arrogant now, and he would dare to arrest people at will when he arrived at the place.

So why did the other party dare to do this?

Because the other side has soldiers and horses.

After all, Shi Xianling's subordinates were only dozens of servants to arrest quickly, and compared with the regular army of hundreds of people on the other side, they were not at the same level at all.

So he didn't act rashly, but reluctantly smiled and said, "Okay, you have also arrested the person, and the matter of interrogation should be handed over to this county." ”

"What do you want?"

Zhao Jun glanced at him and said, "Didn't you understand just now?" The Imperial City Division has the right to arrest and interrogate, and if your affairs are found out here, you don't want to run. ”

The county commander's face suddenly darkened.

Zhao Jun waved his hand and said, "Bring all the people involved in the case back to the ship." ”

At the moment, the Praetorian Guards arrested more than 100 people, including the Wang family's family members and the Zhou family, all of whom were tied up and tied up with ropes, and all kinds of wails and begging for mercy along the way continued, but the soldiers were unmoved.

These were the two battalions of soldiers sent by Zhao Zhen to protect him, and Zhao Jun had already joined them when he was in Ying Tianfu.

Since Bozhou is just south of Yingtianfu, the distance is not far, so although Zhao Jun took the water route, they took the land route, but they were also able to follow him all the time, and the distance between the front and back was less than twenty miles, and they were able to quickly follow at this time.

After arresting the people, Zhao Jun ordered Jiang Dalang to interrogate, and let himself personally lead a team to rush to the county seat of Yuxian County overnight and raided the home of the big landlord Wang.

First, it is to find evidence of crime, and secondly, it is also impossible to lose the tradition of the Imperial City Division.

In the future, this is an ancestral craft that must be carried forward.

At the same time, Shixian Ling was not in the mood to care about the blockage of the canal anymore, Zhao Jun arrested the big landlord Wang, and the matter was too big for him to deal with.

But he didn't dare to report to the Huainan Road Transfer Envoy and the Criminal Division, so he could only immediately order his subordinates, prepare a carriage, and rush to Qian County overnight.

Yuxian is the area of Yucheng Town, Yongcheng City, Anhui Province, which is only less than 40 kilometers away from Qiaoxian County.

The carriage trotted all the way, and the Shixian order rushed to the county within two hours, and the Northern Song Dynasty relaxed the curfew and allowed the emergence of the night market, which led to the inland state county town not closing the city gate at night, but only strictly enforcing the public security.

For example, Zeng Bu recorded: "Lu Jia asked Zhijingnan, did not close the city gate at night, went to his house to feast and drink, sat with his maids, and poems and small words. ”

As can be seen from this example, people at that time were able to come and go freely at night without any hindrance, and even the government did not strictly control this phenomenon.

Therefore, the carriage of Shixian Ling entered the city smoothly.

Now it is only twelve o'clock in the evening, Qiaoxian as the capital of Bozhou, and the praise of the capital of medicinal materials, the night market is naturally prosperous, although it is not comparable to Kaifeng Mansion, but it also has a unique flavor.

However, Shixian ordered that he couldn't control this, and the carriage drove all the way to the Bozhou Governor's Mansion.

What is Bozhou Zhizhou Guo Chengyou doing now?

At the feast.

This person has always liked luxury, and historical records record that "Cheng Yu goes, and he is troubled by many pleasures, and the people are suffering".

And the reason why he dared to do this was that he was the grandson of Guo Congyi, a general in the early Song Dynasty, and his wife was the daughter of Zhao Yuanyu, the king of Shu, and at the same time he was also the official of the East Palace when Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong was the crown prince, and he was one of Zhao Zhen's early East Palace teams.

Therefore, although in history, this person has stolen gold vessels in the palace, and committed crimes in the local area, and the officials impeached him for not being inferior to the grain, and kept the grain program without permission, criticized the propaganda head, did not send a soldier to return the army, crossed the staff with a misdemeanor, tortured and killed the people, borrowed Hanlin weapons, went in and out to support the flag gun, banned the soldiers with the Zhou Wei, involved in arrogance, no one to courteous and so on, but it has always stood tall.

In the final analysis, it was Song Renzong's Zhao Zhen's protection.

Guo Chengyou sat in the lobby of the back hall of the mansion, and the banquet was attended by several of his friends, all of whom were big businessmen in Bozhou, who were going back and forth to convey interests, and often held such banquets and entertained all night.

At this time, the servant sneaked in and whispered to him that the county magistrate had an urgent matter to see.

"In a hurry?"

Guo Chengyou frowned, and after thinking for a while, he asked many friends to continue the banquet, and came to the back room under the pretense of going to the toilet.

Shi Xian Ling came in from the back door, and after Guo Chengyou entered the house, he saw the anxious other party, and couldn't help but wonder: "Shi Zhiqi, what are you doing when you come to Qian County in the middle of the night." ”

Under normal circumstances, unless they are going to the state capital on a business trip, local officials cannot leave the county at will without an order from their superiors.

However, this rule is not strict in the first place, just find a reason to perfunctory it.

Shi Xian Ling said in a deep voice: "Taishou, something happened." ”

Taishou was the elegant name of Zhizhou in the Song Dynasty, Guo Chengyou frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Wang Qian's son died, and he always wanted to find someone to match his daughter's bones, so he set his sights on a widow in Dingliu Village, and wanted to immerse her in a pig cage and drown in the river on the grounds that she did not abide by women's morals and committed adultery, and then use her body to make a yin marriage."

Shi Xian Ling said: "As a result, just when they were about to drown people, it happened that a Yanei who was transferred to Yingzhou as a commander passed by, ordered the forbidden army to save them, and arrested the Wang family. ”

"Yanai?"

Guo Chengyou was stunned and said, "Which family's Yanei?" ”

"Liu Yan's family's name is Liu Bin."

"This man? I know, but I'm just a junior, but I'm not familiar with it. ”

"Taishou still has to think of a way, now that he has taken the Wang family, I heard that someone has been sent to Yuxian County to raid the Wang family."

"What?"

Guo Chengyou said angrily: "This guy is so daring! ”

The people who took the Wang family said otherwise, but there was a problem with the house.

Because he often corresponded with Wang Qian, and also corresponded with Wang Qian's younger brother Wang Zai, the interests between them were transferred, and it was impossible to say that there was evidence in the Wang family.

So he must not let the other party copy the Wang family's home.

"Why don't you stop it?"

Guo Chengyou asked.

Shi Xian Ling smiled bitterly: "There are hundreds of forbidden troops, where do I dare to stop it." ”

"Hmm"

Guo Chengyou suddenly woke up, and then thought about the situation clearly after a little thought.

The current situation is that the other side has soldiers and horses to forcibly search for evidence.

Then he must get ahead of the other party and stop the other party.

If it is even necessary, if the other party really gets the evidence, he will find a way to destroy the evidence.

Even if you offend Bianliang Xungui, it doesn't matter, the Liu family is not a big family after all.

As long as you take care of the things afterwards and negotiate a good deal with the people of the Liu family, Liu Bin is a junior, even if he wants to uphold justice, he probably won't be able to make any waves.

So what to do?

The other side has a regular army.

But he has it too.

The Great Song Dynasty was divided into the forbidden army and the box army, the forbidden army was mainly stationed on the northern border, and there were garrisons in Sijing, Huainan, Huaibei and Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In the state capitals, the local army is dominated by the Xiang army, but Bozhou also has the existence of the Praetorian Guard.

On weekdays, Guo Chengyou has always regarded the forbidden army and the box army as his private army, and the entry and exit are guarded by the forbidden army, which are recorded in many historical materials.

Therefore, Guo Chengyou had more than 2,000 local troops and a battalion of hundreds of Praetorian Guards in his hands.

At that moment, Guo Chengyou said without hesitation: "Let's go, go to Yuxian County now." ”

He changed into his official uniform and ordered his subordinates to transfer troops.

In less than half an hour, the Bozhou Xiang Army and the Forbidden Army were ready, and they hurriedly headed in the direction of Yuxian.

At the same time, Zhao Jun had already led people to raid the home of the big landlord Wang.

The whole county was in a stir.

A large number of people who had not slept came to see the excitement.

This Wang landowner was obviously not a good man, and his home was full of incriminating evidence, correspondence, forged ledgers, and a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, money, treasures, land deeds, and so on.

A lot of it was taken by chance.

And this guy also likes to show off, and directly chatted with his friends in letters about how he tricked the peasants and made the peasants spit out the land obediently.

If the tenants have no money to pay the rent, they are forced to sell their children and daughters, and one case after another is directly in front of them.

"The sins of the landlord officials of the Song Dynasty are really undisguised."

Looking at the incriminating evidence in hand, Zhao Jun could only sigh.

Just like the four prime ministers in history, Han Qicha, Wang Sui, Chen Yaozuo, Han Yi, and Shi Lizhong, the breakthrough is also their letters.

When the people of the Northern Song Dynasty did bad things, why did they like to say it in their letters so much?
