Chapter Seventy-Seven: Kidnapping and Surrendering
Ordinary warriors use swords, but they can deal with enemies within seven feet of their body, while the monk's flying sword skills can attack enemies at least ten zhang away, and even more so, hundreds of zhang or even a thousand zhang away can kill the enemy under the sword.
Ordinary martial artists, where can they be guarded against.
Chu Xian didn't say anything, there was no point in blaming at the moment, and there was no need for Xu You to say more, the Punishment Division was eager to make meritorious contributions, if they didn't take Fang Shun away, no matter how high the other party was, they wouldn't dare to come to the barracks to rob people.
In the final analysis, it is still Ren Zuoxiong's responsibility, and this can only be borne by himself.
......
The morning sun is rising, outside Fengcheng, many officials in Fengcheng have come out to meet the upcoming inspection of the imperial history and the criminal department, these two are special statuses, responsible for investigating and supervising the murder of the imperial history, one is the procuratorate, the other is the special dispatch of the criminal department, of course the officials in Fengcheng dare not slack off.
The history of the assassin of Yizhou will not come to greet him, but the long history will come, and at this moment, the governor of Sui, Zhao Renze, is dressed in formal clothes and leads many officials in Fengcheng to greet him.
It's just that to the surprise of many people, behind Zhao Renze in the long history, his son, Zhao An, was actually tied up by five flowers and taken to the soldiers by two to watch, although Zhao An looked reluctant at this moment, but he was also honestly standing there.
Many people were surprised when they saw it, and some people whispered, well-informed about what happened in Haoyue Pavilion last night, and they all knew that this Fengcheng was afraid that something big was going to happen.
As for the long history of Zhao Renze, his face is majestic, in terms of age, Zhao Renze is not very old, at the same age, there are few people who can achieve such a high position as the governor of a governor's history, which shows that Zhao Renze has his advantages.
Soon, on the official road in the distance, the official who inspected the imperial history and the criminal department showed his figure.
At the gate of the city, the officials of Fengcheng were all polite with Cui Huanzhi and the Promoter of the Criminal Division, who was an old magistrate, who was more than ten years older than Cui Huanzhi, with a gray beard and a thin body, but his eyes were sharp.
"Brother Kong, I haven't seen you for many years, but your demeanor is still the same. Sui Governor Shi Zhao Renze hugged his fist at the old magistrate of the Criminal Division at this moment, and the latter also got off the horse and saluted back: "Brother Zhao, you are laughing, where can my demeanor compare to you." ”
Obviously, the two should have known each other.
At this time, the old magistrate Kong Qian turned back to Cui Huanzhi: "Master Cui, I was a classmate with Zhao Changshi back then, Zhao Changshi was the same year as me, and he was excellent academically back then, but I didn't expect that this moment would be the past thirty years." ”
Cui Huanzhi was polite at this time, after all, even if he was inspecting the imperial history, he had to show respect in front of the governor Shi of the fifth grade.
Zhao Renze laughed, and said very casually: "Lord Cui is not polite, you and Brother Kong are friends, that is my friend Zhao Renze, speaking of which, I also heard about Lord Cui's literary talent and knowledge, and he can serve as the inspector of the imperial history, which is well deserved, and I am ashamed to say it, when I was my age like Lord Cui, I was only a county commander." ”
The three of them said a few polite words, and at this time, Cui Huanzhi saw Zhao An who was tied up over there, and deliberately asked, "Lord Zhao, is this ......?"
Obviously, not only Cui Huanzhi, but also the old magistrate Kong Qian over there was also curious, at this time Zhao Renze put on a serious expression and said: "Hey, the family is unfortunate, since he served as a long history, his mind has been on official business, and he rarely cares about family affairs. ”
After speaking, Zhao Renze turned his head and reprimanded: "You rebel, you haven't come to confess, you colluded with that Fang Shun to do a lot of things that violated the law, I Zhao Renze don't know, now that I know, I can't let you continue to do nonsense, today the inspection of the imperial history and the criminal department are there, I, Zhao Renze, will hand over this rebel to the two, interrogate him for the crime, and must be severely punished." ”
Cui Huanyi looked at this posture, and there was actually a drama of tying up and surrendering.
Just half an hour ago, Cui Huanzhi had just gotten Chu Xian's paper crane handbook, and knew the general situation in Fengcheng now, and naturally also knew that Chu Xian had arrested Fang Shun, interrogated Fang Shun, and later Fang Shun was robbed again.
Zhao Renze deserves to be an old officialdom, and he reacted so quickly.
Let's not talk about whether he is the mastermind behind the robbery, just talking about this drama of kidnapping and surrendering, that is, taking the lead, now that Fang Shun's witness is gone, how can Zhao An be convicted by just relying on a confession?
When the time comes, Zhao An will randomly pick a few irrelevant cases and admit it, hold on to death for a few months, and fine some silver, for Zhao An, this is Suizhou, wherever he is imprisoned, it is no different from being in his own home, as for the fine of silver, does it mean that Zhao An, who often spends a lot of money, cares about this silver?
Relative to this loss, the benefits of the Zhao family are too many.
The most important thing is that they have won a good reputation, and knowing their mistakes can improve greatly, and then Zhao An will become a prodigal son, and as for Zhao Renze, he has a good reputation for being fair and not hesitating to tie up his son to confess.
Good calculation.
Cui Huanzhi knew that Zhao Renze was acting, but it was impossible to point it out in person, after all, there was no evidence, so he could only laugh dryly and keep silent.
As for Kong Qian, the old magistrate of the Criminal Division, he shook his head and said, "Brother Zhao, what are you doing, let's loosen Zhao An's ties first." ”
After speaking, he was about to order someone to step forward, but Zhao Renze immediately stopped: "My rebel son is negligent in disciplining and tying him up, it will also be a lesson for him in the future, Brother Kong, you can rest assured and boldly go to trial, if my rebel son really does something angry and resentful, it will be repaid, and I will admit it." ”
"Why are you so troubled!" Kong Qian still wanted to persuade again, but Zhao Renze was obviously resolute, so he could only arrange for someone to take Zhao An to prison first.
After Zhao An was escorted away, Zhao Renze continued to welcome the two officials and many entourage guards, and even held a banquet to express the friendship of the landlord.
Not only the officials who followed the arrival, but also the small officials and the entourage of the guards, were also invited, although not at the main table, but at the side table, there were also people to entertain, serve tea and toast, and care for them.
Zhou Fang, as a small official in the Inspection Division, was also invited to come, he was obviously very familiar with this dinner, and the official in charge of entertaining them at this table knew that Zhou Fang was a small official who followed Cui Huanzhi in the Inspection Division.
This time I came to Fengcheng, more than half of the officials from the Inspection Department came, and the small officials also brought a lot, as well as the guards and guards, a total of more than 30 people, this battle is already very big. And the Criminal Department of the Criminal Department came even more, counting more than 30 black knife guards, the total number was nearly 50 people.
However, among so many people, there are very few who are qualified to serve at the table.
Those with official ranks are at the main table over there, and the rest of the officials are at the side table. At this time, Zhou put a glass of wine in his stomach, glanced at the main table over there, he saw Chu Xian, and saw the other party talking and drinking with many officials, and the resentment and jealousy in his heart were like a fire, burning.
And this fire is burning more and more.
Naturally, after a few glasses of wine, Zhou Fang couldn't control his mouth a little, of course, he also maintained a trace of sobriety, but he still inadvertently showed his disdain for Chu Xian, and also said a lot of words against Chu Xian's distrust and dissatisfaction.
At the wine table, some people listen to it and don't take it seriously, but there are also people who have a heart and secretly write down this detail.
