Li Zhongji, the head of Henan County's inspection capital, walked to the door, and a cold voice came from behind him: "Dutou, this time it is the Yamen of the Transshipment Division, and a special person is sent to sit in the government office, waiting to arrest this group of strongmen by the Tianjin Bridge." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If there is an accident, you don't take the person back, as long as you get out of one, I won't let you send to the remote military state, only go to Zhengzhou Jiagu Mountain to quarry for the rest of your life! There is a shortage of people there, and you have repeatedly issued documents asking the nearby military states to send prisoners there, and you and your subordinates just went to fill the vacancy! ”

Li Zhongji's body paused for a moment, and then he walked out of the official hall.

The gangsters and strongmen in the central city must be covered by someone in the official mansion, and no one in this world is a fool, and the county magistrates of Henan and Luoyang counties know this. If they don't cause trouble, they will treat it as if they don't know, and these public servants under them will also be appeased. As soon as something happens, especially this time, the transfer envoy sent someone down to supervise it, so the usual three-day one-to-five chase will be exempted, and the subordinates will be directly asked to take the person back and hand it over. If you can't get it back, then the old accounts and the new accounts will be counted together, and you will be convicted of colluding with robbers, and the light ones will be sent to the army, and the heavy ones will be directly distributed to the island.

The quarrying of Jiagushan is a more terrible place than the general distribution, and if you are assigned there, you can live for ten or eight years to accumulate virtue on your ancestors. Ordinary people will only hold out there for two or three years, and if they can't meet amnesty, their lives will basically be handed over there.

Out of the county office, Li Zhongji took a long breath and shouted at the errand on the side: "Tell the people in the yamen to come to the front, don't say anything to them, come over if you can breathe!" ”

Speaking of this, he turned to look at the errand officer, his eyes were bright, as if he wanted to eat people: "If you dare to leak a little rumor, I will drag you to the river beach and bury you tonight!" Your family, don't think about it! ”

The officer was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he staggered to the station of the patrol soldier next to him.

Li Jizhong looked at the Luohe River not far away, his face was gloomy, as if he was about to drip water. Just now, the magistrate just said that he was an idler who did bad things near Tianjin Bridge, and he didn't say which one specifically, and it is likely that he didn't know. How dare he ask the people of the Transit Division? There is no way, one is counted as one, the prodigal idlers within a few miles of the Tianjin Bridge on both sides of the Luo River, all of them are arrested this time, and they are regarded as eliminating harm for the people, and the unjust ghosts just need to find those who are not long-sighted.

Strictly speaking, the Jingxi Road Transit Envoy does not supervise the officials of Henan Mansion, and Henan Mansion, like Kaifeng Mansion, has been a Beijing Mansion directly under the imperial court for a long time. Now although it has been merged into Jingxi Road, it is only money and food, and the supervision power is still left behind in the Siyu Shitai. However, the transfer envoy did not directly impeach the officials, but directly said that the bandits in Luoyang City were rampant and pushed to the head of Henan Prefecture, and the consequences were more serious than direct impeachment for the counties below. The prefect is an important minister of the imperial court, and if he is not good, he will ruin his future.

As the head of Henan County, in charge of the south bank of the Luo River, Li Jizhong usually does not eat the filial piety of the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods below. But those are not worth mentioning compared to their own net worth and life. An inspection is usually majestic in the market, but compared with the transfer envoy, it is the meat on the board, and there is no room for maneuver.

In the vegetable garden on the edge of the Luo River, the sick lieutenant Chi drank a big gulp of wine and looked at a lean man in front of him.

The man said: "Big brother, I have inquired, the transfer envoy of this road did go to Zhang Xianggong's mansion yesterday, and brought a lot of gifts. The person who sells dung is afraid that he is not blowing nonsense, and the Zhang family is only afraid that he will make a new career. ”

An old man on one side said: "I said a long time ago, there are a lot of eunuch families in Luoyang City, those high-ranking families, don't look at the dilapidated now, but the popularity formed in the past cannot be underestimated." If it is not necessary, don't mess with them, otherwise, alas, now that the people of the Zhang family have been provoked, there is a transfer to make a move, but how can it be good? ”

The sick lieutenant said coldly: "You follow me to drink wine and eat meat every day, and gamble to the fullest, where do you think it came from?" We were originally living a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and you still want to live a long life without disease and disaster?! ”

The man shook his head, not daring to speak again.

The lean man said, "Big brother, how to deal with it now?" With the support of the transfer envoy, we can't afford to provoke the Zhang family. Do you want your brother to pack up and hide from the state army outside? I have a brother in life and death in Caizhou, and I can go to take refuge. ”

Sick Lieutenant Chi just sneered: "It's just a little rumor now, you are so scared that you want to die or live, what big thing has happened?" And don't worry about drinking and eating meat, if something really happens, there will definitely be rumors leaking out of the yamen, and it's not too late to deal with it at that time! ”

"The eldest brother is right, the people in the daily yamen are not less filial piety, is it possible to turn their faces and deny people now?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's hearts relaxed at once. The outer city of Luoyang is called "short wall", and it is not high when it is repaired, and there is no one to maintain it in the late Tang Dynasty, and the Luohe River is flooded and washed, and it has long been declining. Although the Great Song Dynasty has also repaired twice after the founding of the country, it is just for show, and even chickens and dogs can't stop it, where can it stop people? As long as there is a rumor, the brothers can go over the wall, where can't they go?

On the Tianjin Bridge, Li Zhongji and Chen Dutou of Luoyang County glanced at each other, and they both understood in their hearts that the situation of both sides was the same. The boss gave a death order, no matter what, he must arrest the person back, otherwise, I am afraid that I will be guilty of these errand boys.

Li Zhongji said: "Chen Dutou, now that the sky is not dark, if we take the soldiers to get people, it will inevitably fall into the eyes of those who have a heart." The city of Luoyang is vast, the city walls are low, and it is difficult for people to chase them back! ”

"Not bad! But you can't wait until the evening, first, the time limit is on the top, and you can't delay, and then these city fox society rats don't know where to wander at night. Instead, we asked our men to change into civilian clothes and split up to get people. ”

Li Zhongji nodded: "What you say is exactly what I want!" However, who exactly are you going to take, do you have any news there? ”

Chen Dutou smiled bitterly: "The county magistrate didn't say anything explicitly, he just said that there were idlers who blocked the road and robbed the family of the former prime minister Zhang Zhibai Xianggong. Theft in the center of the city is extremely bad, and it must be caught. However, it was not said who was blocking the way, so the errand was extremely difficult. ”

"I'm the same here. Now our brothers are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can please anyone if they mess up their errands. It's better to be like this, what are the idlers near Tianjin Bridge, talk to each other, don't run away! ”

"Well, when the time comes, don't separate the two counties. No matter who you take, no matter which county you belong to, you will draw familiar eyes from our people. Be sure to catch them all and leave no trouble! ”

The two discussed the plan to arrest people on the bridge, and designated the people and land they wanted to take, and when they wanted to separate, Chen Dutou said: "I heard someone say that yesterday, Zhang Liping, a clansman in Zhang Xianggong's mansion, was blocked by the sick lieutenant Chi and his people on the way home after doing odd jobs in the third shop, but there was no fight. The people in Zhang Xianggong's mansion had a conflict with the idlers, and now they know only this one thing, and it is most likely that it is the sick lieutenant Chi. Take people with you, and remember not to leave them. ”

"Thank you Chen Dutou for telling me! That being the case, these people are already in my hands, and if I let them escape, my decades will be in vain! Leave! ”

After drinking for a while, the sick lieutenant Chi picked a cucumber and lay down on the grass under the poplar tree in the vegetable garden, eating the cucumber while thinking about his thoughts. The Zhang family is already a tiger falling into Pingyang, and Zhang Liping is just an ordinary clansman, so he doesn't believe that yesterday's incident can cause trouble to the transfer envoy. And anyway, I just scared him, and in the end I didn't move a single cold hair on him, and the transfer envoy managed the money and food all the way, and he could still worry about such a trivial matter?

Who can believe such a thing?

But in his heart, Sick Lieutenant Chi always had a faint feeling of unease. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the brothers did not dare to say what was in their hearts, but for the sake of their own safety, they could not ignore it. It's better to wait until the evening, find an acquaintance in the yamen and ask, and know the bottom of your heart. It's really bad, so he slipped away, a good man on the rivers and lakes, which one doesn't have a good brother in the field? With his own skills, he doesn't have to worry about running out of food wherever he goes.

A group of brothers next to him still drank and ate meat, making a lot of noise. These people are all drunk today, and they never think about the future, Zhang Liping's matter will be over as soon as he talks about it, who will take it to heart?

At this moment, a man in his fifties pushed open the door of the vegetable garden and walked along the path.

No caterpillar saw anyone coming, and shouted: "Why is Li Jiejie free today?" It's just in time, and let's have a drink! ”

Li Jiejie laughed with him, took the wine glass handed over to him, raised his head and drank it, and said in his mouth: "Good wine!" Brothers, so merry! What a fairy day! ”

Seeing the person coming, the sick lieutenant got up from the haystack one by one, and bowed his hand to Li Jiejie from a distance: "I haven't seen you for a long time!" How can I have time to visit my brother today? Come and sit down, let's have two glasses of wine and catch up! ”

Li Jiejie said: "Brother, just be happy, don't worry about me." I felt bored with some miscellaneous things in the neighborhood, so I came to my brother to beg for a drink. Take a break, and it's time to get out on errands. ”

The sick lieutenant Chi was about to ask him for questioning, how could he let it go? came up and grabbed Li Jiejie's hand, pressed it on the mat next to him, and said, "When are those chores not done?" Come and have a glass of wine and eat some meat to fill your stomach! ”

Li Jiejie sat down, took the cup handed over by the side, and drank three glasses of wine.

After drinking, the sick lieutenant said chi: "Section level, I heard from people outside that the new transfer envoy has an old relationship with Zhang Xianggong of Fushanpo?" ”

Li Jiejie sighed: "This is indeed the case. The new envoy was a fifth-year jinshi of the Heavenly Sage, and when his name was sung in the temple, the sky suddenly cleared, and the cash light was a rare auspicious omen. Zhang Xianggong was being the prime minister of the court at that time, and immediately congratulated the official family, saying that this new jinshi was the reincarnation of the stars in the sky, and the sky descended to assist the dynasty. This new Jinshi surnamed Xu Ming Ping Zi Yunxing, after the Jinshi went to Lingnan Yongzhou as an official, quelled the rebellion of the barbarians under the rule, broke through the Jiaozhi King City, and took the invincible Jiaozhi King to the capital, dedicated to Que Yu, and responded to the auspicious omen of the day. has this origin, so we have to take care of the Zhang family. ”

After listening to Li Jiejie's words, several idle men looked at each other, and secretly said in their hearts. This is not an ordinary friendship, the grace of officialdom, and the reinvention of grace. With Xu Ping's current status, he must repay Zhang Zhibai. This kind of reward is not as simple as taking care of it, I am afraid that the Zhang family will be completely supported. (To be continued.) )
