Chapter 34: Shields

Guilty silver is a system of using silver to punish crimes, and according to the severity of the crime committed by officials, a certain amount of silver is used to exempt a certain punishment.

In the muddy alley, the two of them walked forward with one shallow foot and one foot deep, "This is a good trick, but why do I always feel uncertain, looking at his smile, I muttered in my heart, did you use us as guns?" …… Did he see something? Turchen looked at Yarhashan, who was also drenched all over.

"You have a ghost in your heart, cranky," Yarhashan comforted, "and it's not a case that we went to report, and no one knows about it." ”

"Yes," Turchen gritted his teeth, "even if we know, we can't admit it!" ”

"Well, take the thief and take the stolen goods, catch the traitor and catch the double, you can't catch it on the spot, and you can't admit it if you are killed!" Yarhashan added.

The two of them said in their mouths, in fact, there seemed to be a lump of hemp in their hearts that was out of breath, and when they saw Su Wen at first sight tonight, the two of them were shocked, this starry night was flying, copying the eight alleys in one fell swoop, or Su Wen was in charge, and the two of them were like eating ice in winter.

"However, this messenger can also sell favors!" Tu Erchen watched a group of officials and students enter the halls to spread the word, and said with a smile.

"Save them some money, or ......" Yarhashan looked around, and waited for the soldiers standing guard before whispering, "Just let it go!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them looked like they understood, and walked into a hall.

"Lord Liu," Tu Erchen saw an acquaintance at once.

Then Lord Liu was shocked, "I'm not, I'm not, you recognized the wrong person." ”

Tuerchen and Yarhashan glanced at each other and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lord Liu, there is an order from above, and the state has a silver system for discussing crimes, as long as you hand over the silver, you can release people tonight." ”

"Really?" Then Lord Liu is happy again.

"It's true!" The two of them laughed as if they were bodhisattvas who saved suffering.

"Then, I have a silver ticket on me, can't I pay it back directly?" Then Lord Liu immediately laughed.

"It's done!" As soon as Tuerchen's voice fell, he heard Maleji's voice ringing in the alley, "Lord Tuerchen has something to say, in order to prevent corruption and embezzlement, no cash will be accepted!" No cash will be accepted! With the sound of horses' hooves, the sound gradually faded away, and it was estimated that one alley and one alley gave an order.

When the officials heard this, they all frowned, and then opened their eyebrows, it seems that this is true.

The official student of Xian'an Palace looked at the official surnamed Liu, "The silver tickets are all wet, how can you recognize them?" ”

But Master Liu still muttered to himself, "This is also a silver ticket when it is wet!" It's also a silver ticket! ”

Turchen and Yarhashan are not stupid uncles, and as soon as they heard it, they knew the intention inside.

Write the official position, write the silver owed, this is three birds with one stone, first, the officials and students of Xian'an Palace have cleared up the involvement of greedy ink, second, not only do they not need to be interrogated, the confession is directly available, and third, they can get a lot of silver in vain!

"In order to get the money, he released people without permission, what qualifications does he have to accept the sin silver?" Tu Erchen's eyes flashed with ghostly fire, and he said quietly.

"Then, let's ...... again," Yarhashan looked at Turchen.

"Cheng, Cheng, I write, I write!" Some officials couldn't stand it in the bleak wind and cold rain, but in fact, the weather was already warm, and the whole body was cold, and it was estimated that they were frightened.

One person took the lead, and someone immediately echoed it, and a group of people surrounded the Xian'an Palace officials and students who came in to handle the errand on the spot.

Besides, if you don't pay the money on the spot, wait for this threshold, find someone to dredge and dredge, maybe there will be nothing, although there is a mess inside, in the end, the wind can't blow, the rain can't be drenched, why bother to suffer outside!

"Then, follow me into the house." The official student of Xian'an Palace said with a smile.

A businessman saw that a group of officials were no longer drenched, and he was unwilling, "This official, all the money paid by the officials has entered the house, what should we do?" ”

But the soldiers of the forward battalion didn't look at him, "Look for someone from Xian'an Palace." He pointed to Turchen and Yarhashan.

Immediately, a businessman came to get close, but these two did not dare to agree at will.

When the two wiped the rain from their faces and walked into the house, the officials were arguing, "This official position has also been written, and the IOU has also been beaten, why don't you let us go back?" ”

"Yes, yes, we're going out!"

The officials and students who received the note looked at Tuerchen and Yarhashan, but there were people among the officials who were also in Zhenghuangqi, or knew their father, and directly shouted their names to urge them.

"Cheng, let's go." The two are happy to sell a favor.

Regardless of the rain outside, the officials ran out happily, but the forward battalion officer of the guard, Zuo Shou, blocked the way like a door god, "Lord Turchen just ordered to come down, and when someone is sent to take the silver tonight, then release the people!" ”

"I didn't say it! Why is that? "Turchen is in a hurry.

"Aren't you an official student of Xian'an Palace, ask your family." The official gave him a cold look.

Yarhashan slapped his thigh, "I understand, there must be someone in these officials who pretends to be someone else and comes to the door to get the silver, and you can tell at a glance whether it is true or false." ”

On the spot, some officials shouted, "Hey, my IOU has to be changed, it has to be changed, my old eyes are dizzy, and I wrote it wrong." ”

"Mine has to be changed, this rain and wind blow, all confused."

……

The officials said in their mouths, but the eyes were eager to eat Tuerchen and Yarhashan, and the two of them had a boiled sleeve in their hearts, and their faces turned green.

The officials were in a hurry to go home, and they changed quickly, but who knows, Su Wenzhen sent officials and students to get the silver, and a group of officials were impatient, and they insulted Yar Hashan and Tu Erchen one after another.

At this moment, the family members of each family received an IOU, but they were all grateful, and they could weigh it clearly which was more important, the official position or the silver.

However, when the silver was smoothly withdrawn, Maleji's voice that made people die sounded in the alley again, "Lord Tuerchen has an order, someone impersonates, no one is allowed to release, no one is allowed to release!" ”

Turchen and Yarhashan looked at each other, with a look of understanding and remorse, which was obviously a trap.

This Suwen, I didn't want to release people at all, the silver was there, the confession was there, and I found two shields!

This hiding, I thought I could sell personal favors, but I was pushed to the front and became the target of the public, this spread ten, ten spread hundreds, tomorrow will know that the two of them are pitting these officials, then they will hate themselves in the future, don't think about living a peaceful life!

The night was stormy.

The soldiers patrolling the yamen swept through the secret prostitutes and warblers at the entrances of the alleys, and covered the filth hidden in the corners.

The arrest of the yamen of the criminal department rushed directly to the Beijing official who was called the hall at home, and directly asked for the yamen back in a stunned and prevaricated way.

The capital turned upside down, not only small families and ordinary people were talking, but also those princes, nobles, and ministers were also speculating.

Those who are still detained in the Eight Hutongs or detained in the yamen of the criminal department can really not sit still, begging for the teacher, asking for the same year, asking for the constitution, asking for the master, have all exerted their magical powers, for a while, in the capital, up to the prince, the minister of the study down to the six ministers and the servants of the various ministries, in the starry night, the lights in front of the door are bright.

However, Prince Zheng's Mansion, Prince Duan's Mansion, and Prince Kang's Mansion were all closed, and any group of people were waiting outside the door to beg for help.

Zhang Fengzao, the first assistant minister of the upper study, Oronza, the second assistant, Zhou Zupei, and Sun Shilin, all of them closed the door of the mansion, and they didn't want to cause a commotion.

However, some people broke in regardless of the bow and the introduction of the object.

He thought he had come and asked, because he was also in charge of the forward battalion, and with such a big movement in the forward battalion, he, the prince in charge, knew nothing, and Yi Ketanga and the others were too disagreeable.

Although he also understood that the Criminal Department, the Patrol Yamen and the Forward Battalion were dispatched together, the person who could manipulate this drama behind the scenes could only be the one from the Forbidden City, and he vaguely guessed that the purpose was for the Internal Affairs Office, but if he didn't come, he would also seem to be weak and afraid to move forward.

After thinking about it, he came in the end, and along the way, he wondered what the gang of soldiers should say when they saw him.

This person is the Prince of Li, Gao Sai.

But the sedan chair stopped at the mouth of the muddy alley, and the soldier didn't seem to see the five-clawed and four-dragon regimental uniform on his body, "Please stay, no one is allowed to enter without the order of Lord Su." ”

Gao Sai, who was sitting in the sedan chair, couldn't help but be furious, "Aren't you soldiers of the forward battalion, what the forward battalion says is also my subordinate, let you take the lead and talk back." ”

After a while, his eyes slowly widened, and in the drizzle, stepping on the mud all the way to meet Su Wen, who was all over the city these days, was running over with a few people, splashing muddy water.

"Say hello to the prince." Although the ground was muddy, they did not hesitate at all, and a thousand beat down.

"You," Gosse suddenly found that he had forgotten all the words he had thought of on the road, "are you the leader?" What about Iketanga? ”

"Back to the prince, Lord Yi is in the left flank camp of the forward battalion, and this place belongs to the lower management." Su Wen was unequivocal.

"There are all licenses and licenses here, have they all been seized?" Gao Se asked, as soon as the words came out, he realized that it was inappropriate, how could he know that there was a license and a license?

"Back to the prince, we are also ordered to investigate."

"On whose orders?"

Su Wen didn't answer, and the fire in Gao Sai's heart went straight up, "Su Wen, you are guilty, and contempt for the prince is also a big crime, do you want to add to the crime?" ”

"I don't dare to be humble, but this raid on the Eight Hutongs is indeed on the order of the Constitution, Lord Wang, Su Wen came here a few days ago, and he also came by order, not to be a prostitute without permission." Su Wen pushed back without humility or arrogance.

"Oh," said Gosse, "by whom?" What did you find out last night? I'm going to go in and have a look. ”

"There are more than 400 officials who ignore the laws of the Dajin Dynasty and take prostitutes without authorization." Su Wen said.

"Is there any evidence?"

"Yes." Su Wen silently took the IOUs from the hands of Maleji behind him.

These stupid people, Gao Sai secretly scolded, he came today, and there were also a few henchmen and officials close to him who fell inside, originally thought that they could fish it out, but when they saw this IOU, it was in vain.

"Lord Wang, please." Su Wen suddenly waved his hand, and before he could react, Su Wen shouted again, "Spread the word, just say that Prince Li has come to comfort the brothers." ”

Gao Sai's face changed when he heard this, how many people were standing behind these more than 400 officials,

If this shout continues, he will become the person behind the encirclement and suppression last night, how many people will be offended!

However, before he could stop it, the squinting kid who followed behind Su Wen was already shouting, "Prince Li has come to comfort the brothers, Prince Li has come to comfort the brothers." Suddenly, shouts rang out one after another, resounding throughout the entire Bada Hutong.

Gao Sai was furious, "Su Wen, I don't care who asked you to come, now the Criminal Department, Shuntian Mansion, and the Imperial History of the City Patrol are all taking you, come, take it for me!" ”
