Chapter 995: The Messenger Behind It
Gao Qiu actually didn't want to arrest Wang Fu.
What is the rank of Lieutenant Gao?
How could he be stupid enough to argue with Wang Fu?
There are naturally special methods for dealing with matters like Wang Fu's.
But the situation was already chaotic at that time, and the Imperial City Division arrested all the relevant people in one fell swoop.
This kind of thing really couldn't be done casually in the Song Dynasty.
After all, the Song Dynasty was not the Qing Dynasty, and the Zhao Guan family was not Mazi and Shiquan.
Due to rampant literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty, countless people no longer dare to tell the truth, resulting in countless people who only know how to flatter, and regard pandering and following the crowd as the best principles in life.
In the end, the country's elites became slaves and lost their backbone.
Obviously, what Zhao Ning wants is not a slave.
You can arrest people, but you can't arrest them in the Taqing way.
In the same way, you can kill Qin Hui, but you can't kill Qin Hui in the unwarranted way.
Because procedural justice is the last wall of protection for vulnerable groups, behind it are countless ordinary people who have no power to resist.
You tear it up and you feel happy, but countless ordinary people suffer, and in the end it’s you who suffers the consequences.
So this is why fools and fools can never be good emperors.
Gao Qiu left the palace and returned to the Imperial City Prison, where he released Wang Fu in the evening of the same day.
He Bin was unwilling to give in. He said: "Captain Gao, this person is obviously suspected of deliberately inciting me. I don't understand why I let him go."
"So you can only reach the level of commander." Gao Qiu said mercilessly, "It's just a small role."
It is true that He Bin could not become a bigger official in the higher ranks.
He is a very good executor. Judging from the fact that he has arrested various people over the past few years, his methods are ruthless and the results are very good.
But going further up, many things need to be thought about at a deeper level.
"There are a lot of rumors outside now." He Bin said, "It was all instigated by Wang Fu. There is no need to give so much evidence. Arrest the person first, and then go to his house to collect questions. I don't believe that his family has any
question."
"Then what?" Gao Qiu said in a deep voice, "If Wang Fu is arrested, this matter will be over and those people will stop making trouble? How do you explain it to the officials in the court? Oh, by the way, we are the Imperial City Department
, there is no need to explain to them, then when they make trouble to the prime ministers, how do you explain it to the prime ministers? Do you want to make Zhao Guan’s family and several husbands embarrassed? "
Gao Qiu continued: "If Wang Fu is captured, those people will behave themselves and be honest. Not to mention you He Bin, I will capture him immediately and beat him to death on the spot!"
He Bin stopped talking.
"You have been with me for so many years, and you are still trying to solve this kind of thing in such a stupid way. Don't say I don't want to promote you!"
"Captain Gao's teachings were correct, but the lower officials ignored them."
"The newspaper is already drafting the article. Just leave this matter to the newspaper."
He Bin asked worriedly: "Can you handle it?"
Gao Qiu suddenly said: "Do you know the difference between humans and animals?"
"People can talk, animals can't."
Gao Qiu picked up a cat next to him and said: "This cat was disobedient, so I slapped it twice. But the next day when I gave it food, it forgot that I beat it. But if it was a human,
I slapped him today and I will remember it for days and even years."
"The lower official is stupid."
"The newspaper published a few more articles, and they soon forgot what happened today." Gao Qiu hugged the cat and walked out, "Animals only know how to vent, but people have brains."
Sure enough, things in Fan Lou became a big deal.
This incident is happening in many places in Tokyo right now.
The next day, many officials also began to discuss the matter.
The controversy quickly spread to official circles.
People in the officialdom are naturally much smarter than ordinary people. They will not just criticize Yue Fei, but will use this matter to tell their own stories.
For example, some people started to make trouble with the Prime Minister, saying that the Imperial City Division was arresting people at will. This was a sabotage of the judiciary of the Song Dynasty!
The Song Dynasty was very particular about the judiciary. Even Zhao Guangyi personally tried cases where people were slandered, and severely punished officials who shielded and manipulated power.
When the governors heard this, of course they couldn't sit still.
Of course, things are not that simple. Some people blame the Military and Political Council, others think it is Wu Jie's fault, and still others think it is Zhao Ding's fault.
In short, things are getting serious now.
Who knows whether it will be like when the Jin army went south at the beginning of the first year of Jingkang, the people gathered together and ran to the gate of the palace to force Zhao Guan's family to come out and give an explanation?
However, starting from July 11, all major newspapers have spoken out.
For example, the "Tokyo Daily" said this: Yu Yunwen died in battle? Rumor! Wang's division won many victories along the Yellow River. The Jin army's front was guarded in Anbei Prefecture and could not advance an inch.
For example, the "Bianjing Express" said this: The imperial court has already controlled the war situation. The Jin people have been defeated continuously in recent years. They want me to create chaos from within the Song Dynasty. Don't be fooled.
Some people are still hesitant, but some are already relieved: "Have I told you before? The court must have been prepared for such a big thing."
"That's right, Yue Pengju was the one who defeated the Jin Army many times. The Jin Army didn't dare to go south again, so Yue Pengju has made great contributions!"
"I said when I was in Fan Lou two days ago that people should learn to have their own opinions and not follow what others say."
On July 13, a fast horse suddenly rushed into the city, and the people on the horse shouted loudly: "Good news! Good news!"
This incident spread quickly, and people were saying that it was good news from Anbei Mansion.
In the afternoon, He Bin arrived at the door of Wang Fu's house. He was really confused: within three days, public opinion had reversed.
Wang Fu now has a solid crime: creating rumors, criticizing court officials, and cursing court officials for dying in battle.
When Wang Fu was arrested, he shouted loudly: "I was wronged. I am complaining for those who died in the war. You go and see their families. They paid their lives for the Song Dynasty, but you took them away."
Forget, who among you will thank them!"
"The Great Song Dynasty is hopeless! The Great Song Dynasty is hopeless!"
Wang Fu screamed heartbreakingly.
Wang Fu was imprisoned, and public opinion continued to change.
After this, no one arrested anyone without permission from the Imperial City Division a few days in advance.
"Captain Gao, is there really a great victory in the north?" He Bin asked curiously.
Gao Qiu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Does it matter whether the good news is true or false now?"
He Bin took a deep breath, could it be...
Gao Qiu walked into the Imperial City Prison and saw Wang Fu. With a smile on his face, he asked kindly: "Brother Wang, I know you."
"Gao Qiu!"
"Don't look at me so fiercely, I'm here to help you." Gao Qiu looked like the uncle next door, "Go on, as long as you tell me who asked you to say those things in Fanlou,
Chapter completed!
