Chapter 432 Different Treatment in Luoyang

After issuing the emergency strict control order, Zhang Shuye immediately went to the prefect's Yamen.

Wang Shoude, the prefect of Henan Prefecture, was promoted to Minister of Rites. The newly appointed prefect Zhou Qian immediately led all the officials of the prefecture's Yamen to welcome the arrival of the military and political envoys.

Zhou Qian said: "I have also just received a notification that Mr. Zhang has arrived in Luoyang. I was unable to welcome him from a distance. Please forgive Mr. Zhang!"

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Shuye said very concisely and clearly, "Have all the people who caused trouble the day before yesterday been arrested?"

Zhou Qian looked at his colleague Wang He and seemed to ask him again.

Wang He said: "They have all been arrested. In the prefect's Yamen Prison, the case has been decided. It was a man named Zheng Xi who made the move first. He has already recruited him. This man is a cunning man from Julu County.

Trying to blend into the new school and become a successful person."

"Yes, that's right, it's this unruly man!"

Zhang Shuye didn't believe a word of Wang He's words.

The common local tactic of picking out a random person to take the blame is really not that clever.

When the matter is so big, you tell me that it all started with a rogue man from Julu County?

Do you think I am a fool, or do you think the Zhao Guan family in Da Neili are fools?

"Where are the people?"

"In jail."

"Bring out all the judicial procedures of the interrogation. I want to see it." Zhang Shuye said and asked someone to take him to the prison.

"yes!"

Before entering the prison, Zhang Shuye obtained all the trial documents.

After entering the prison, he looked at Zhou Qian and said, "Didn't you say that there were many people making trouble? Why are there only these people?"

"this……"

Wang He came out to smooth things over again: "Mr. Zhang, some people were forced to fight back, not their original intention. Moreover, if we arrest them all, the involvement will be too great and they will inevitably arouse public anger, so we took some of the thieves' heads."

Zhang Shuye asked with a cold face: "Are the others released?"

"It's a matter of discretion."

Zhang Shuye did not continue to ask questions and soon met Zheng Xi.

Zheng Xi had obviously been tortured, and his whole body was covered with injuries.

Wang He angrily scolded: "You unruly people! What is in front of you now is the famous man next to His Majesty, Mr. Zhang Shuye, the military and political envoy of the Song Dynasty. You'd better be more honest!"

Zheng Xi remained silent.

Zhang Shuye said: "It was you who made the first move the day before yesterday?"

Zheng Xi remained silent.

"Why did you hit someone?"

Zheng Xi still didn't speak, Zhang Shuye said: "Are you here for the exam?"

Zheng Xi nodded.

"Which college should I study for?"

"Agricultural College."

Zhang Shuye asked: "Julu man, why did you come to Luojing to take the exam?"

"Want to do something."

"Do something?" This answer surprised Zhang Shuye.

"Um."

Zhang Shuye continued to ask: "How to say?"

Wang He said: "Xianggong Zhang, this is a cunning man! His words cannot be trusted, he..."

Zhang Bofen on the side said: "Should Mr. Zhang ask the question or you? Should you be the military and political envoy?"

Wang He immediately retracted his head.

Zheng Xi said: "I want to learn something and go back to my hometown to improve the lives of my fellow villagers."

Looking at Zheng Xi's desperate but hopeful eyes, Zhang Shuye said: "This is a good thing. It's rare for you to have such an idea."

Zheng Xi hesitated for a moment, raised his head and looked directly at Zhang Shuye, and plucked up the courage to say: "I was originally just a Julu farmer. I didn't have many ideas. I just wanted to grow some crops to fill my stomach. There was once a man passing by Julu.

Lu, tell me there is a new world outside, and let me take the exam in the capital, which can change me and others."

His tone was calm with a hint of confusion: "He told me that I can only change by myself, but now there is no hope. I am just a farmer, and I can't change anything. I was the one who made the move first, and this matter has nothing to do with it.

My sister has nothing to do with it, she is innocent, please spare her."

After saying that, Zheng Xi kowtowed to Zhang Shuye and said again: "Please spare her!"

Zhang Shuye thought to himself that someone once told this young man to take the exam in the capital. He probably wanted this young man to participate in the new school.

Zhang Shuye asked casually: "Who told you to come to the capital to take the exam? The local town supervisor?"

He remembered that from last year to this year, the imperial court sent a large number of town supervisors to Hebei.

It seems that these town supervisors still played an imitative role in the local area.

"I don't know who he is. I only know that his surname is Zhao, and he brought some strange people with him. At that time, the official of Julu was collecting taxes in our village. This official Zhao went to Julu to help us beg for it. Later, the magistrate of Julu County was arrested.

Cut off the head..."

Zheng Xi also said casually, but when he said this, Zhang Shuye's expression suddenly changed.

His surname was Zhao? He was beheaded by the magistrate of Julu County?

Zhang Shuye suddenly remembered the Hebei tax rectification case last year.

The cause of that incident was that Zhao Guan's family passed by Julu and discovered that the magistrate of Julu County was collecting taxes arbitrarily. Later, they went to Xinde Prefecture to investigate. As a result, several top leaders in Hebei Province all lost their heads, and the prefect of Xinde Prefecture also lost their heads.

This incident had a great impact.

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Shuye's mind at once.

Other officials around him have not yet reacted. After all, not many people know the complete internal details of the Hebei case last year.

"Did that official Zhao say where he was from?"

"It's just that he's from Gyeonggi Province."

"and after?"

"Nothing happened. He left and asked me to take the exam, saying that the exam could change my destiny."

Zhang Shuye took a deep breath and said, "Come here, escort this person to the military for detention."

Wang He immediately stood up again: "Mr. Zhang, this is a troublesome man. He has been convicted and should be executed according to the rules."

Zhang Shuye said coldly: "Should you decide the case, or should I?"

Both Zheng Xi and Zheng Ling were escorted to the army. At the same time, Zhang Shuye wrote a secret letter to Zhao Guan's family and sent it back.

If the Zhao official is really from the Zhao official family, isn't this Zheng Xi the official who asked him to take the exam?

Zhang Shuye asked again: "I heard that many Confucian scholars also took action, but I don't see a single Confucian scholar now. What's going on?"

Wang He quickly said: "Yesterday morning, many people came to the Yamen, hoping that the Yamen would release people. They were all Luoyang celebrities and had a great influence. Moreover, these Confucian scholars were also victims. They..."

Zhou Qian was not allowed to speak. Zhang Shuye slammed the table angrily: "What nonsense! Anyone who beats someone violates the law! Not to mention disrupting the order of the exam and defying the court!"

Zhou Qian came out to smooth things over again: "Mr. Zhang, please calm down. Many students from Songyang Academy are involved here, and they have a great influence in the local area. If they are all imprisoned, I am afraid it will involve more people. The more the matter gets bigger, the bigger it will be, and it will not be good for the court. The following is

From the official's perspective, this matter has been reduced from a major incident to a minor one, and it is only right to calm it down as soon as possible."

"A student from Songyang Academy?"

"Not only this, but also many people with great influence in the academic world in Luoyang. If things get serious, I'm afraid it won't end well."

"What do you mean, if you try to arrest those people now, you won't be able to find them?"

"It's really hard to find people."

Zhang Shuye saw that the people detained here were basically here to take the new academic exam.

This is clearly a differentiated treatment, and it is aimed at the new learning exam.

Zhang Shuye did not continue to talk nonsense to them. He roughly understood the current situation in Luoyang.

The right medicine can be prescribed.
