The confession provided by Gao Qiu appears to be an extremely worthless confession.

Let's talk about the officials besieging the Agricultural Affairs Department. These officials gave a lot of confessions. They only said that Yang Bing was the one who made the initial suggestion, and that they went to the Agricultural Affairs Department to find Chen Dong for details. They did not say that they were going to besiege.

Society is complex, and social organizations are also complex. As long as the number of people exceeds 15 people, it will become complex.

I made a suggestion at first, but was collectively booed by the excited officials. I ran to the Agricultural Affairs Department and saw that the Imperial Guard Brigade was guarding the place. I became more and more angry as I thought about it and began to scold him. It was an intrusion. So the situation evolved into what it is today.

This is the group.

As for being organized and premeditated?

Based on the way the Imperial City Division tried the case, no organization or premeditation was found, so there might not have been any premeditation.

However, it is only possible.

It is actually very simple to try this kind of case. You can interrogate each official individually on key issues and then compare them with each other to identify the instigators and organizers.

In fact, Yang Bing just mentioned it and everyone took action.

The key issue behind it is that everyone acted after Yang Bingti said it, which means that everyone was together at that time.

Why do grassroots officials from different yamen suddenly get together?

This itself is unreasonable!

As for why we were together, we also asked about the reason and discussed the new policy rules.

Who initiated the discussion?

Yang Bing.

Why is Yang Bing so positive?

His confession was that he thought there were problems and risks with this new policy.

Look at such high-sounding words.

Make it seem like you care about all the people in the world!

Isn’t it just a trick of political speculation?

The boss noticed it, and the subordinates wanted to take a chance to make a name for themselves and take a gamble.

If he succeeds, he will be on a rocket ship for promotion.

If he fails, the worst possible outcome is dismissal, but he can be promoted again in the future.

This is one of the common routines in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.

Haha, are you playing tricks with me?

I don’t know how to play tricks?

Zhao Ning said calmly: "The Jin people have been rampant recently. For the sake of the security of the country, I went to check the accounts. All the private accounts of these officials' families were carefully checked."

Gao Qiu immediately understood and said, "Yes, I will arrange for someone to do it right away."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"return."

"Any other orders from the officials?"

"Where are the instigators behind these gangsters?"

Gao Qiu said: "He ran away, but I have sent people to catch him."

"Can I catch him?"

"It's Wang Qilang from Chengdong Club, please send some more people."

The instigators of bandits are those who are organized and premeditated.

It was very difficult to catch a person running away in the 20th century, let alone the 12th century.

"Now you have to give me an explanation immediately, right?"

Gao Qiu immediately understood: "I understand that the Jin people have been rampant recently and are hiding among the people. I will send people to inspect various clubs in the city to make preparations for supervision and prevention at all times."

Clubs and societies were really popular in the Song Dynasty.

From the princes and nobles to the common people and even desperadoes, they all love to form gangs and play clubs.

For example, the scholar-bureaucrats played "wine club" and "tea club", those who played Cuju were called "Qiyun Club", and the desperadoes formed the "Mu Ming Club" and "Bawang Club".

The one in Liangshan was formed by the merger of civil societies.

There are also various clubs with strong military overtones in civilian areas, even down to the grassroots Baojia.

Whenever there is unrest in a local area, people form associations to protect themselves. Township communes are armed all over the country, forming associations to purchase weapons.

These are all Song Dynasty associations recorded in history.

Therefore, when Zongze defeated the Jin army in Hebei and raised his voice, hundreds of thousands of rebels responded, mostly due to civil society organizations.

These have advantages and disadvantages. If used well, they can be incorporated into the army to supplement combat power. If they are not well controlled, they will be bandits, and they will bring disaster to one party. For example, the traitorous Li Cheng is a member of the civil society, and he is also working hard in troubled times.

Another example is Zhao Ning's battle to defend Tokyo the year before last. Whether it was recruiting troops or transporting food, many civil society organizations in Tokyo were used.

But now, the club's hand has actually reached out to the Agricultural Affairs Bureau, and this is the city of Tokyo, at the feet of the emperor.

There's a reason for this.

"Go ahead, this matter is related to the safety of our country, the Song Dynasty, and is related to the gold thief. Remember, we must publicize this, understand?"

"I understand."

Confiscating the house...oh no, checking the accounts, the Imperial City Secretary can handle this kind of thing easily.

In the government hall of Dongfu, the debate between the two sides continued until evening. Everyone was angry and their faces became uglier than the last.

"Let's go see His Majesty!"

People gathered in groups and arrived at the entrance of Wende Hall.

It seems that the final argument has no result. Both parties insist on their own opinions and plan to take the matter to Zhao Guan's family.

According to the rules, if there are huge differences in Sanju and the governors of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province cannot reach an agreement, His Majesty can make a decision.

Zhao Ning smiled knowingly when he heard that officials from the Dongfu were asking for a meeting.

"Xuan come in."

Everyone entered the Wende Hall.

As soon as he entered the palace, Li Chunyou, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, made a preemptive strike. His expression and tone were adjusted instantly. With a look that was a bit sad and angry, a bit decisive, he squeezed his voice and shouted: "Your Majesty! Something big has happened! Something big has happened.

Got it!"

Mo Chou, who was on the side, looked at Li Chunyou the way girls look at green tea bitches, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Other officials quickly said: "I will see your Majesty."

"Everyone is free of charge."

Zhao Ning's eyes fell on Li Chunyou: "Li Qing, why are you so worried?"

Li Chunyou said: "Your Majesty, thirty-five officials went to the Department of Agricultural Affairs to learn about the new policies. They were injured by Gao Qiu and all were captured."

Zhao Ning seemed to have heard this for the first time, showing a surprised expression: "Oh?"

Li Chunyou shouted there like a dead father: "Your Majesty, this matter has now become known to everyone in the court. People's hearts are unstable, people's hearts are unstable!"

"He Xianggong."

He Li came out and said, "I'm here."

"what happened?"

He Li then explained all the reasons.

"Oh, I stopped and I roughly understood."

"Your Majesty, the current stable situation was obtained with the blood of our Song Dynasty soldiers. Your Majesty said that we must unite all forces that can be united, and the golden thieves will never die!" Li Chunyou said impassionedly, "The northern border defense is still as strong as fire and water.

, but now someone wants to disrupt people's hearts. This is destroying the line of defense that His Majesty wants to unite everyone, and is creating civil strife!"

When Li Chunyou said this, other ministers who agreed with Li Chunyou immediately began to respond.

"Your Majesty, the new agricultural policy has caused panic among people. We must pay attention to it. Once it is really pushed back, it will cause internal unrest in Gyeonggi Road and play into the hands of the golden thieves. All the previous efforts and sacrifices will be in vain!"

Zhao Ning smiled and nodded: "That makes sense."

Xu Han quickly stood up: "Your Majesty, dozens of officials surrounded the Agricultural Affairs Department. This behavior is serious..."

Zhao Ning interrupted Xu Han and said, "Ms. Xu, I think Li Qing is right."

"His Majesty……"

"Li Qing, I'm here to ask you."

Seeing Zhao Guan's family like this, Li Chunyou looked excited and responded quickly: "Your Majesty made it clear."

“What’s the big question now?”

"It is naturally a threat from the Jin people. The Jin people are eyeing our Song Dynasty. Your Majesty often teaches ministers to unite everything and overcome difficulties, but at this time there is someone..."
