Chapter 7 of the first sight

Song Lao, Song Sanjing, was born in Suiyang, the Central Plains, and was born in a poor family. Parents who can't read a word are illiterate and make a living from farming. It was originally an ordinary family in the ordinary world of the lower class, but it was changed due to a dispute. Song's parents had a conflict with a neighbor over land ownership, and the two families later fell out with the official yamen. The neighbor was literate and hyphenated, spoke fluently before and after, quoted scriptures, and showed a very gentleman-like demeanor in itself. And Song's father and Song's mother spoke a mouthful of local words, anxiously talking nonsense, and the key points were not clear. Moreover, the neighbor's family has a family member who works in the yamen, and there are some forces. The Song family has very few relatives and is lonely. The yamen who judged the case finally defended the interests of the neighbors, asserting that Song's parents were unscrupulous and greedy for small profits, and ignored them. After the parents came home, they were anxious to hit their heads against the wall, originally their own family was justified, and the land belonged to their own family, but they were cited as having never read and had no power, and they were won by their neighbors who knew how to read and were others. So the couple made up their minds to let their son study and become an official in the official family in the future, so that no one would bully them.

Song Sanjing carried the hopes of his parents, worked hard since he was a child, and studied the scriptures intensively. When he grew up, he was amazingly talented, and he was inspected by the imperial court, and eventually became the county magistrate of the nearby area. At the beginning, when he was an official, he was indeed honest and honest, dedicated to the people, the rooster crowed, returned at sunset, and he was diligent and did not dare to slack off.

But after being an official for a long time, I found a lot of problems. Some rude people were justified, but they were confused, yelling, insulting officials, and spilling everywhere. At that time, Song knew that the phrase "boldly disrupt the people" that the old officials often said came from reality, and the low quality and boldness of the common people was not an isolated phenomenon. It can be tolerated at the beginning, after all, it is the party that is in line with the law, and the polite "gentleman" is really not reasonable. Cases cannot be wrongly judged because of the confusion of the people, so the judgment and law enforcement are very fair.

However, such Diao people often appear, which is unpleasant, and Song is also very angry: "You are a weak and small people, the other party is powerful and powerful, but I impartially enforce the law and convict the other party, but you don't thank you at all, and you still scold us, point fingers, and be vulgar and rude." Thus began to punish such rude and impudent people in anger, often in favor of the powerful in the judgment of the case, and the powerful often offered large sums of money as a token of gratitude. And those small people who lost the lawsuit, they violently hit their heads against the wall and rolled all over the ground, but they didn't know where they lost, and some confused people actually thought that the official master was right and that he was illegal!

So Song accepted a lot of money and judged indiscriminately according to his character. Soon after, he took bribes of thousands of taels of silver, and became rich.

Many years have passed, and Song Fa has no risk of accepting bribes, and no one in the higher-level government is aware of it. He believes that today's world is chaotic, and almost officials take bribes, and he is not alone. Even if they are aware of it, they will open and close their eyes. Where are there such impartial officials? Vigilance is becoming more and more lax, and accepting bribes and handling wrongful cases are becoming more and more serious. Every once in a while, he exchanged the silver he received for gold, because of its small size and ease of storage.

Speaking of this, Liu Suishui interjected: "Everyone in the spiritual world of human beings is different, and they have the same coat color as the same animal. As a result, countless heroes have been created, and countless foolish people have also been created. We have a local saying: it is better to fight with a smart person than with a foolish person. Foolish people's thinking can always make smart people angry, and you can punish them for a reason, but this punishment ......"

"This punishment has deviated from the principle", Song Lao's expression was solemn, "It is within the duty of an official to take the country's wealth and act impartially." There is a value in this that shows the value of tolerance for us, and I can punish them privately, but if I punish them with the power of the state, it is a false public benefit. ”

Song Lao often marveled at the fact that this child was young, but he could master the avenue of the world, far beyond ordinary people when they were young, and the exit made sense. He continued to talk about his past.

One day, Song Sanjing was writing in the room, and his subordinates suddenly reported: "Three scribes have asked for a meeting, saying that there is something important." If not, disaster may befall you. Those three immortal wind dao bones seemed to have the spirit of immortals. ”

Since Song became an official, there have been so many seekers that anyone can meet with him? Now a janitor can see the extraordinary spirit of the gatekeeper, and the first feeling in his heart is that he should not excuse himself. So he came to the door, and saw three people standing side by side, the scribe in white in the middle, and the scribe in black on both sides, with gossip patterns on the clothes. The moment Song met, he felt a sense of familiarity and reverence, and asked what happened to the comer, so that there was a catastrophe?

After the three scribes sat down, there seemed to be a smile on their faces, but they seemed to be solemn, and Song didn't know what to do. The three scribes seemed to know the habit of the Song Dynasty to cherish the time when they met, and said straight to the point: "The county order has been smooth sailing all these years, and the silver mountain gold pile is not a mascot, it is bright and dazzling." When these three men spoke, they spoke in unison, and they were truly speaking in unison.

Song was surprised that they actually knew about my pile of gold, and deliberately kept silent and listened carefully.

The three scribes said in unison: "Your Excellency is about to be killed, and only by giving up your fame and wealth and living in seclusion in the city can you avoid the disaster of blood and light." ”

Song has been an official for many years, and has already developed a temper of self-respect, and when he saw that these strange three people said that it was too bad luck to kill them, he immediately became angry and ordered the three people to be driven out. The three scribes still seemed to be smiling and solemn, and before leaving, they said the last words: "If your Excellency is facing the danger of death, just stab your eyes and repeat the phrase 'I am blind, I don't know who it is' for three days, and you will be able to avoid this difficulty, remember, remember." ”

After saying that, he drifted away, and only heard the singing voice fluttering:

Asking what is the power of the world, directly teaching people to promise life and death, asking people what is the joy of the world, teaching people to confuse themselves, life and death, once returned to the ......"

On the third day, a team of people came to the county, and it was a different driver sent by the local assassin. This don't drive to often go out on patrol with the assassin history, Song can't help but panic: this assassin has just taken office, and he doesn't know what kind of character he is, and he is planning to go to the event to leave a good impression, but who knows that he suddenly sent a driver to come here, and he was worried and uneasy.

That don't drive into the yamen, it seems to look left and right casually, but in fact, there is a secret light in his eyes. At the beginning, he said that feng shui was good, and he said that things were wrong and wrong, and Song accompanied him to be submissive. Song wanted to pat himself on the back several times, but swallowed back when he encountered the deep eyes of the other driver.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he sat on a high chair, and suddenly he ordered Song County to be tied up left and right. Immediately announced the warrant for the assassination: many people reported that you were corrupt and bent the law, and looted a huge amount of people's wealth, and at this time start to verify, if it is true, it will be quickly corrected.
