Chapter 11: Splashing

Tao Zhixian slapped the table: "You Diao Min, if you really did something bad yesterday, how can you still be allowed to be in this lobby!" Twelve Lang is just a coolie in the third shop, earning some hard-earned money, known far and near. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info How can you thieves not know? He only has a few dozen copper coins on him, so why do you want to stop him? ”

The sick lieutenant said chi: "Parents, dozens of copper coins can buy half a catty of meat, and it will be a good meal." ”

"Diao Min, who are you talking like a bastard! How many of you big men, is the meat of dozens of dollars enough to stuff your teeth? ”

The sick lieutenant was silent for a while before he said: "Don't hide it from Shangguan, I saw that in autumn, the vegetable garden we rely on for a living will not harvest when it is cold." A few of our brothers thought about it, and contracted the chores of the three shops, so that we could have something to eat. Everyone else said it, but Twelve Lang didn't listen, and he scared him yesterday. ”

Yesterday, I didn't use my sword and cane, and the roadblock robbery was an attempt, even if I added a deception to strike the market, it was not a big crime, and it was worth a thousand miles at most. For these idlers, it was not a heavy punishment, and in the prison camp, according to their old methods, life was not so difficult. Moreover, Xijing Henan Mansion is the most frequent place in the world to amnesty, which is still better than the capital, and maybe a few months later, he will be a lively hero.

The sick lieutenant Chi knew all about this, and he asked and answered, which was quite refreshing. If it weren't for the convenience of frequent amnesties in Luoyang City, these street idlers would not be so arrogant. It is often the government that sentences them on the front foot and amnesty on the back foot, so they can only be allowed to swagger out and continue to do evil. The government is helpless, and it will be tired after a long time.

This is Xijing, and the imperial tomb is in the territory, and the emperor's amnesty to show his benevolence was first granted here. Three years of tax reduction, amnesty for prisoners, good people are all done by the emperor, and there are advantages and disadvantages in the local area. The imperial court will not subsidize the local government, and the financial resources of Henan Prefecture will be insufficient after frequent, and the independence here is strong, and the transshipment envoy will generally not transfer money and grain from other places. The local government has no money, plus it is necessary to worship the imperial mausoleum, and all kinds of palace expenses are spent, so there is no money left over for repairs in the streets and bridges in Luoyang City, and the city is becoming more and more dilapidated. If the amnesty is too frequent, the law of the country loses its deterrent effect on lawbreakers, and people like Sick Captain Chi rely on this, and do not pay much attention to the government.

Tao Zhixian also understands this, these two years are the time when the emperor is in power at the beginning, amnesty is frequent, and the Henan County government also lacks the means to severely punish these idle people. If it weren't for Tan Hu and Zhang Liping sitting on the side, as usual, at this point, these people should be beaten up, and the release of people would be over.

However, today, the transfer envoy specially sent someone here, and he didn't know what the purpose was, so Tao Zhixian had to go down to trial.

As soon as he slapped the table, Tao Zhixian shouted at the sick lieutenant and asked: "Let me ask you, I also know that I do chores in the third division's shop, and I only know that I am only a few dozen wen a day, and I am only a hundred wen when I am tired and half dead." If you people are willing to earn this kind of hard-earned money, what kind of work is not easy to do on both sides of the Luo River! You will also take on this work to deter the good people, and you will not be greedy for this wages! Don't beg for a fight, quickly recruit from the truth, what are the plans in your heart? ”

The sick lieutenant Chi said calmly: "If the county magistrate said so, he just wronged me and waited." We plant a vegetable garden, grow vegetables and sell vegetables with peace of mind, and we are also first-class good people. It's really helpless to do some chores when it's cold. ”

Li Zhongji couldn't listen to it on the side, so he raised his leg and kicked a sick lieutenant: "You are also full of nonsense in front of the county magistrate!" Usually, you are abducted and deceived in the market, how can you ever be a good person for a day! What does it depend on strength, and who are you saying it to here? What kind of tricks are there, hurry up and summon them truthfully! ”

The sick lieutenant's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "What the little one said is true, but the officials don't believe it." ”

"Hell you if you believe it! You have wandering eyes, you must be lying! It seems that you don't need to be punished, you won't recruit! ”

The sick lieutenant Chi turned his head to look at Li Zhongji, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "This is the county government court, don't you bend to make a move?" ”

Li Zhongji looked at Tao Zhixian, who was sitting behind the case, looked at himself and didn't speak, he knew in his heart, and shouted: "Come on, let's beat the killing stick first, and go to this killing talent!" ”

The officer next to him made a loud promise, knocked the stick on the ground loudly, and slowly gathered around.

The sick lieutenant sneered, looked at Li Zhongji on the side, and said loudly: "Officials want to be beaten into tricks, how dare the little ones work for the big brothers?" Don't bother, I'll do it for you! ”

After speaking, he swooped down and grabbed the nearest big staff and hit it hard.

This blow was so hard that the sick lieutenant fell to the ground and leaned back, and the blood flowed all over his face.

wiped a handful on his face with his hand, making himself ghostly, and the sick lieutenant Chi shouted at Tao Zhixian after the case: "The county magistrate wants to fight the small one, and he is still satisfied!" If it's not enough, come back to the little ones! ”

Tao Zhixian rode a tiger on it, slapped the table, and said loudly: "Nonsense, hurry up!" ”

The sick lieutenant Chi Yangtian laughed, and was escorted out of the official hall by two messengers.

"Big brother is really a good man! Brothers are fortunate to follow you! ”

There were no caterpillars watching it on the side, but I felt that my heart was surging, and I admired the sick lieutenant Chi too much.

These street idlers have special skills, and after years of hard work, they only suffer a minor wound on the head, and sometimes even a little skin is broken, and a lot of blood will be shed. They fight hard in the streets, often using this trick to scare others. I didn't expect the sick lieutenant to use it in the court this time, but it had a miraculous effect.

Three lives are unfortunate, the county is attached to Guo, Henan County is the attached Guo County of Henan Prefecture, Henan Mansion is not far away, and unfortunately there is a Xijing Imperial History Platform not far from here. Not to mention that there is also a transfer envoy, and people are sitting on the side.

If it was a small remote county, the sick lieutenant Chi was so troublesome that Zhixian could take off a layer of his skin, but Tao Zhixian didn't dare. The matter will soon spread out, and when it arrives at the government and the imperial history platform, it may become that he abused lynching, injured people's lives, and even jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away. The sick lieutenant dared to be so ruthless, and Tao Zhixian couldn't do anything about him. This guy only suffered a little flesh wound, so Tao Zhixian had no way to torture him, and he had to find a doctor to treat him with medicine.

Luoyang City is difficult to manage, and it is this kind of bull, ghost, snake and god methods that make the government unable to guard against it, and even have nothing to do with these people. At the feet of the Son of Heaven in Kaifeng Mansion, there is a first-level buffer in the middle, and the prefect has privileges, but there is no such mess. Luoyang is not good, the government manpower is insufficient, but the people facing it are even more difficult.

When the sick lieutenant was taken out, Tao Zhixian said to Tan Hu: "Yu Hou, you see that such a scoundrel villain is really difficult, and it is difficult to ask again today." Why don't you put them in prison first, and then ask them later? ”

Tan Hu said: "The Ducao officials will go to the following states and counties to inspect in a few days, how can they wait?" When I go back today, I will report the results to the government, and if I don't ask now, it will be really difficult to go back and pay the difference. ”

Tao Zhixian's face was full of embarrassment: "It's just like this, how can you ask again?" ”

Tan Hu said: "Zhixian don't be frightened by this splash, I can see from the side that the blood on his head is rubbed the bamboo cane, not touched." It was scary to look at the blood on his face, but in fact, it was just a skin injury, and he didn't move his muscles and bones. ”

Tao Zhixian was silent. When I came to Henan County to be a magistrate, I had deep qualifications in other places, so how could Tao Zhixian not know that the injury of the sick lieutenant Chi was just like it? But so what? It's not that I don't dare to hit him again!

Tan Hu saw that Tao Zhixian was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I have been by the side of Ducao officials for many years, and I have also seen officials try many cases, and such scoundrels will occasionally be seen." According to the previous practice of the officials, since the prisoner saw blood, he quickly sought a doctor to diagnose and treat the medicine, only treating him as if he was seriously injured. But aren't there any uninjured people on the side? Then the interrogation begins. It is impossible for each of them to use this method to stumble the hands and feet of the magistrate. ”

Speaking of this, Tan Hu looked at the few people without caterpillars on the side, and said with a smile: "If these people have this method, it will only be considered that everyone is unlucky today, and I will go back and report it truthfully." But if someone is not proficient in learning arts, and really knocks out a long and short on the bamboo cane, and even hurts his life, there is an example of the injured person, is it possible that someone will still say that the county will be punished heavily? ”

Seeing Tan Hu smiling at a few of them, no caterpillar and others felt a chill inexplicably, and couldn't help shrinking their necks.

Sick Lieutenant Chi is the eldest brother, these methods are well practiced, how can these people have this ability? And this smiling guy also made it clear that there was a sick lieutenant who was making an example there, and if someone hit the bamboo cane, he would die in vain.

As long as the people from the transfer envoy spoke for themselves, Tao Zhixian had a bottom in his heart, and slapped the table: "Come on, mention another person to come over and ask!" ”

Li Zhongji let out a sigh, and hated these people more and more in his heart. His eyes swept over a few people, and he picked out a lean man whose body was shaking the most, lifted it up, and held it in front of several people.

Tao Zhixian looked at the lean man and asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, why do you want to contract the chores in the shop?" ”

The man said in a trembling voice: "Hui-Hui Shangguan, the little one is just an errand runner, I really don't know-"

"If you don't hit you, you won't move! Come on, let's beat this guy with ten canes to loosen the muscles and bones! ”

While the servants promised to do so, they stepped forward one after another. Everyone also saw that this lean man did not have the means of the sick lieutenant just now, and someone deliberately took a big stick and knocked the ground in front of him. That means that if you have the ability, you can also bump into it, and then hit it with blood on your head and face, it's just to mention another person to ask.

The lean man looked at the big staff in front of him, and his mouth seemed to have a bitter gall, but he didn't have the courage to hit it anyway. (To be continued.) )
