Chapter 344: Zhang Shicheng Second [Ask for Subscription]
"What the hell is this called......
In Yidu City, Lu Qian, who heard the news, was ignorant at first, but after sobering up, he slammed the teacup hard.
The big war is imminent. The officers and men are all recuperating and waiting to fight in the coming day. This suddenly popped up such a bird thing.
Lu Qian was very embarrassed, he was very waxy.
Tai Shi Gong said that some people die as light as goose feathers, and some people die as heavy as Mount Tai. The people who died on this battlefield were lighter than goose feathers, and their lives were no more precious than mustard; But the death of a person under the battlefield is heavier than Mount Tai.
The identities of the two parties are too 'prominent'.
Cao Zheng was one of the leaders of Liangshan Bo Juyi and was Lin Chong's apprentice. He joined Liangshanbo for a long time, although he was sent to Dengzhou to do things after only a trip to Liangshanbo, but he undoubtedly belonged to the old man of the cottage. And fundamentally speaking, it belongs to Lu Qian's lineage. Naturally, he was reluctant to kill.
Although Cao Zheng killed someone.
And that Wang Quande is also not low-reputation, he is a well-known local good man, born in a large gentry, and I don't know how many similar people have attracted the attention of this matter. It's spreading so fast, and the impact is already growing. Lu Qian could easily see the traces left by the gentry and the big families who used their hands and feet in it.
From the perspective of Wang Quande's behavior, he is still working for the 'official government', if he dies in vain, not only the gentry and big families will be greatly resentful, but also the poor people, there will be a lot of criticism, and Liangshanbo will be regarded as the official government in the past.
That's what is obvious - officials protect each other. So what is the difference between this Liang Shanbo and the old Zhao family? The same dirty black. Blank will give rise to a lot of trouble. Although this matter is still limited to the south of Qingzhou.
What makes Lu Qian even more depressed is that in the laws and regulations compiled by Liang Shanbo's current organization, there is no conclusion on such matters.
The laws compiled by Liang Shanbo are generally based on the laws of the Song Dynasty:
[Fighting and homicide]
Whoever fights and kills people shall be hanged, regardless of their siblings or other things.
○ The killer, beheaded.
○ If an accomplice joins in assaulting a person, and thus causes death, the fatal wound shall be serious, and the one who commits the attack shall be hanged. The original plotter, a hundred rods, three thousand miles. and each of the rest had a hundred rods.
Anyone who conspires to assault others shall be hanged according to the law, except for those who are fatally injured and seriously injured. The person who beat him together was judged to be in possession of a knife or other murder weapon, and also had fatal wounds, and was stabbed and charged to the army.
However, the internal causes are not distinguished in too much detail. In fact, for the 'government', there is no need to be delicate about this kind of thing. Just like in later generations, rabbits are not guilty of manslaughter, and the difference between provocative murder and provoked murder seems to be quite that.
Cao Zheng hit Wang Quande with a stick, which was seen by everyone, and he took the initiative to fight. It's hard to say that he has a manslaughter.
Liang Shanbo's law also has a conclusion about this "fault": if the person who manslaughters or injures someone, he is allowed to fight for the crime of killing and wounding, and he will be redeemed according to the law and paid to his family (negligence: it means that the ears and eyes are beyond the reach of the ears and the eyes, and the person who does not think about it, such as catapulting birds and beasts, throwing bricks and tiles for something, and killing people unexpectedly. Or due to the increased risk, there is enough to fall, affecting the companions. or sail to the wind. Ride away on horseback. Drive downhill. The momentum can't be stopped. Or lift heavy objects together, and the force cannot be controlled. Those who damage the same object. It is meant to be harmless at the beginning. Those who accidentally kill or injure others are allowed to commit the crime of killing or injuring people in a fight. Redeem according to the law, and pay the families who are killed and wounded. It is for funeral and medical purposes.
Cao Zheng's behavior is not in line with the regulations.
And if he acted impartially, according to the 'justice' that Liang Shanbo has always adhered to, Cao Zheng would die.
Not only was Lu Qian anxious, but Lin Chong next to him was also very anxious.
Lu Zhishen opened his mouth and said: "That Wang Yuanwai died a little indebted, but he slandered Brother Cao Zheng in front, and there was a reason for it, did he ask Brother Cao Zheng to accompany him with his life?" ”
"According to the family, I will pay him a sum of money."
Obviously, Lu Zhishen didn't want to see Cao Zheng die. But Monk Lu is an upright person, what is the banner of Liang Shanbo? Do the right thing for heaven, eliminate violence and peace. Wouldn't he behave like the corrupt officials and local tyrants and shoddy gentry that Liang Shanbo wanted to kill in the past? The voice was very low.
Zhu Gui is not like this. "Brother Beggar raises his noble hand, and he must let Brother Cao Zheng go." It's plain favoritism. The reason is that Cao Zheng is lurking in Dengzhou, and he has no credit and hard work, and now Liangshanbo is using people again, and he can't kill it.
Lu Qian also experienced another effect of "brotherly righteousness", a side effect, a big side effect.
If you are light on wealth and charity, make promises, be righteous, be generous to others, and treat others generously, then you will immediately win the hearts of the masses. But this is both a kind of 'prestige' and a kind of moral 'kidnapping'. How could such a perfect big brother kill his own brother? Even if a brother makes a mistake, it's okay to beat him, but he can't kill anyone. There are too many brothers who are angry, and each of them is a good brother, and if he kills people violently, he will lose people's hearts.
In the end, I can't become "Zhang Shicheng's second". Lu Qian's face was gloomy, and he suddenly thought like this in his heart. Before, he may have thought that brotherly righteousness would bring about elbows, but he never thought so clearly.
It should be said that he is not as good as Zhang Shicheng. The latter also attracted a lot of scholars and doctors, and they were very popular with the people on their own turf. This point, even Zhu Yuanzhang, who ascended the throne and became the emperor, was extremely annoyed, so much so that after becoming the emperor, he complained: "When Zhang Shicheng stole Jiangdong, the people there still call him King Zhang." I'm the Son of Heaven now, and those guys only call me an old man. ”
This is difficult for Lu Qian to achieve.
"Wang Quande, a kind gentry, died at the hands of Cao Zheng, I really regret it. It's just that Cao Zheng is my sibling brother, and I really don't want to hurt my brotherhood. Can Mr. Clarion teach me? Lu Qian once wanted to ask Zong Ze and Wen Huanzhang. Both of them are fighting in officialdom and have seen many methods, so they think they can teach him. But because of this kind of thing, ask Zong Ze and Wen Huanzhang, isn't it too embarrassing? Lu Qian's mind turned, and he immediately had a new idea, looking for Wu Yong.
This guy has a ghost idea, which should be able to relieve his worries.
When Wu Yong heard this, he smiled at first, and said confidently: "This matter is easy. The elder brother just said that the Cao Zheng brothers were manslaughter. The compensation is three or five hundred, and it can teach everyone to be convinced. ”
Lu Qian felt depressed when he heard it, this manslaughter is what I said. So many people watched that day, and now half of Qingzhou has spread, I am afraid that if it drags on for two more days, the entire Qingzhou will be boiling. I can't cover the lid anymore.
Wu Yong had already paid attention to Lu Qian's expression when he spoke, and when he saw that he was depressed, he thought of the wind he heard earlier, how he didn't know where Lu Qian's concern was. laughed at the moment: "My brother is in love." The Cao Zheng brothers only knocked Wang Quande off the horse with a stick, but they burst Wang Quande's brain with a stick. Wang Yuanwai's death, An didn't know if he fell down the horse and fell to his death? ”
Zhi Duoxing really had a ghost idea, and with such an explanation, Wang Quande's death immediately became manslaughter.
It passed easily. Although Cao Zheng was beaten with a hundred military sticks and compensated the Wang family for 800 yuan, his life was saved. Don't look at the punishment is to serve before the army, in fact, once the injury is over, it is still going to the Northland to 'take office'. is like Li Si in the Daimyo's Mansion, don't look at it being wiped to the end, but the real power is in his hands. Judging from the rules of the Song Dynasty, the official rank has fallen to the level of ordinary people, but it is very beneficial to send it.
Until August, there were no surprises. In the entire Liangshanbo territory, there are gentry and poor people who suffer every day. Lu Qian turned a blind eye. From a puddle in Liangshanbo District, it suddenly expanded to the entire Qilu, during which there were no bumps and bumps, and there was no fierce friction, so it was strange.
Lu Qian stared at the progress of the Western Army with one eye, and Liang Shanbo with the other. From the future of the entire Qilu to the harvest of the cotton planted on Liangshanbo, everything is in his eyes. The cotton is a new thing in the Northland, and the price of cotton cloth at this time is not low, higher than the price of silk. Lu Qian is a cotton seed and master who went to Lingnan to find it, and he has only been planting it for one season in Liangshanbo.
Big and small transactions are really heavy and heavy. Therefore, Lu Qian set out to set up the secretariat. In the system of the Ziqing Metropolitan Governor's Office, there is a very unique official position of "Secretary Lang".
The secretariat is headed by Zong Ying, and Li Liang and Guo Yong are left and right. The latter was pulled into the system by Lu Junyi, and because of Lu Junyi's full recommendation, he sat in the third position of the secretariat. Below the three people are more than ten people 'walking'. That is either the smart and clever people in the Liangshan Bo army, or the down-and-out scholars who come to serve, and then there are the children of the generals, then one of them is called Lehe.
Yes, it is Sun Li's brother-in-law, whose iron name is Zi Lehe. Although when Lu Qian heard this name, his first reaction was that this guy was not a 'singer'?
In the original work of Water Margin, there are a few people who can play and sing. Although the most famous is the prodigal son Yanqing, in essence, this Lehe is the most professional one. Smart and clever, all kinds of music, as soon as you learn it, and has a good voice, after being recruited, she was directly transferred by Wang Duwei and kept by his side. It can be said that like Na An Daoquan, they have ushered in a new glory in life.
This music and profession are just a small prison, or because of the relationship between brother-in-law Sun Li. But people are very clever and clever, and they know the beginning and the end of their work; Speaking of guns and sticks, martial arts are like sugar and honey. It's a bit nonsense to say that it is both civil and military, but at least it's a poor man's version of Yan Qing, right? Although it has been completely marginalized in the original Water Margin.
Now Sun Li surrendered and surrendered to Liangshanbo. Sun Xin, Gu sister-in-law and wife, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao brothers, as well as Zou Yuan and Zou Run's uncle and nephew, they all embarked on a new stage of life, Coke and no. Instead, he took his sister's family to hide early, which made the lady of Nale a lot more right and wrong.
When Liangshanbo unified Qilu and Sun Li walked outside, he took Sun Li's family to defect. In this way, it is a good opportunity to miss the opening of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the construction of teeth. Sun Li originally wanted to ask him to follow him, but it happened that the secretariat was established, Lu Qian recruited people to fill it with his left hand, and Le He was guaranteed by Sun Li, so he went to take the exam with the attitude of giving it a try, and stood out from the total of forty or fifty candidates. Successfully entered into it. This Lehe has been walking in the prison department for many years, and knows a lot about criminal names, and he is mainly responsible for the collation of judicial information in the secretariat.
Although he has only been in the company for a short time, Lu Qian knows that he is very good in the secretariat, and he can get along with people in just a few days. Sure enough, he is a very good person.
And these days, for several nights, Lu Qian was awakened by nightmares. He dreamed that he had really become 'Zhang Shicheng's second', that he was high-spirited and that he was the king, and that he was desperate and desolate......
This made him feel a little panicked. In the first few days, he spent a lot of time recalling Zhang Shicheng in his memory. The latter really bears some resemblance to his current situation. They are all based on 'righteousness', they are all soldiers who are not thirsty for killing, and they are all generous to profit and are punished for treachery and greed......
From Zhang Shicheng's body, Lu Qian can find a lot of similarities with himself. So much so that he once got into the tip of the horns, how could he not let 'righteous anger' not restrain himself in the future.
Lu Qian, he really couldn't think of a way. At one point, he felt like he was going to pay for his IQ.
It was Pan Jinlian's unintentional words that made him wake up like a dream. That day, he asked Pan Jinlian if she was afraid? After all, the days of following him are really not called stability.
As a result, Pan Jinlian replied that it was very false: "The officials are eloquent and strategic, wise and martial, invincible soldiers, and lead volunteers to punish the cruel thieves for the world, with high merit and wide virtue, which can be described as unique." Even though the Song family has Shenzhou, there are many soldiers and generals, and there are many capable people under it, but it is only the dry bones in the mound, which will be broken by the officials sooner or later, so what is there to worry about the concubine? ”
This sounds pleasant, but it is very fake. However, the twelve words of eloquence, wisdom and invincibility were like Huang Zhong Dalu, which made him suddenly wake up to the fact that he was really lost.
What kind of character is Zhang Shicheng? The four words of eloquence are absolutely impossible to contact him. Born as a smuggler of salt, he is known for his love of money and ambition. After seizing the rich land of Suzhou and Hangzhou, he will be satisfied. It doesn't seem to have really plotted the whole country.
Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang fought at Poyang Lake, and Chen Youliang contacted Zhang Shicheng to attack Zhu Yuanzhang on both sides. The latter agreed on the surface, but in fact he did not move.
Yes, you can suspect that Chen Youliang is 'long-distance and close-quarter', and you are happy to see Chen Zhu lose both. But after the defeat of Chen Han in Poyang Lake, you didn't take advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's main force to attack Lao Zhu with all your might. Not to mention knocking down Yingtian, at least taking down the Jiangbei lands of Sizhou and Yangzhou, are you just blind and can't see the protruding part of the Jiangbei of Sizhou and Yangzhou, which is harmful to your own family? Anyway, Zhang Shicheng gave Zhu Yuanzhang a divine assist, watched Zhu Yuanzhang eliminate Chen Han, and then turned around, and the 200,000 army attacked himself.
Therefore, he is definitely not a wise man, let alone invincible.
And what about Lu Qian? He knows his own family affairs, and his wisdom and martial arts may not be so compatible with him, but he is definitely a great talent, and from the beginning his goal is to seize thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and dominate the rise and fall of the entire world. And there is a system, and the soldiers and horses under him can really be called invincible.
Lu Qian woke up like a dream. Yes, there are many similarities between myself and Zhang Shicheng, but there are also many differences between myself and Zhang Shicheng.
He was framed by the 'brother's righteousness', but no matter how heavy this brother's righteousness is, he will not be as unclear as Zhang Shicheng's rewards and punishments. Zhang Shicheng because his brothers were all brothers back then, so his brothers made mistakes and finally ended up. Isn't this looking for death?
Lu Qian won't. He remembers a sentence very clearly: rewards and punishments are unknown, and everything cannot be accomplished.
