Zhang Chu saw that Zhao Yun had entrusted such an important task to him, still trusted him, and cared more about him. Zhang Chu felt a warm current flowing in his heart.
Zhang Chu was excited and choked, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After leaving the palace, Zhang Chu ordered people to escort all the fine works out of the country.
When these people learned that they were about to be sent out of the Song Dynasty, they cried for their fathers and mothers one by one, begging Zhang Chu to spare them.
"Father-in-law, please disturb me once. I will never dare to do it again."
"Father-in-law, I would rather eat in our prison than go to the Kingdom of Jin. Please forgive me for once. I will never dare to do it again.",,,
Zhang Chu looked disdainful, sneered, and said: "You bastards, you are holding the bowl of the Song Dynasty, eating the rice of the Song Dynasty, and then you put down the bowl and chopsticks and scold the mother of the Song Dynasty. Don't say that the government will not spare you, just
Our family can’t spare you either.”
After speaking, Zhang Chu ordered people to take them all away.
These people were escorted away by the imperial guards like eagles catching chickens, and there was a sudden burst of crying and shouting.
"return."
At this time, Zhang Chu called out and asked the guards to come back. These people thought that Zhang Chu had changed his mind and gave them a chance, so they all kept kowtowing to Zhang Chu and begging for mercy, thanking Zhang Chu for his great kindness.
But Zhang Chu said: "Before leaving, give them a good beating to improve their memory."
"ah!"
Their hopes were shattered and they had to be beaten again, which many people couldn't bear, and some people simply fainted.
As the night passed, and until daybreak, all the detained prisoners were locked in prison cars, ready to be transported out of Lin'an and deported.
As the motorcade was walking down the street, suddenly dozens of Lin'an Prefecture officials and inspectors from the Inspection Department rushed out. They surrounded the Imperial City Department's motorcade and blocked the way.
Qian Miao, the officer of the Imperial City Division who was in charge of the escort, was angry. He pointed at the other party and shouted loudly: "What are you going to do? This is the Imperial City Division's convoy. The Imperial City Division is the eyes and ears of the government. How dare you drive the government's convoy?"
bar?"
The yamen servants and inspectors did not answer, but blocked the way. Qian Miao was angry and was about to order someone to rush out by force. The people on the opposite side separated and Yuan Shao came out.
Yuan Shao looked at the imprisoned Xi Zuo in the convoy, then at the Imperial City Suluo soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "I am Yuan Shao, the Yin of Lin'an Prefecture. You are using people to distribute without my consent. What is this?"
reason?"
When Qian Mu saw that the person coming was the Yin of Lin'an Prefecture, he knew that this official was not easy to mess with. With this official position, he could become the Prime Minister at any time. Qian Mu suddenly felt a little flustered and instinctively lowered his head.
Qian Miao raised his hand in greeting and said in a soft tone: "It turns out to be Yuan Fuyin. I can tell you the truth. These people are all agents bribed by the Jin State and work for the people of the Jin State. They were the ones who spread rumors in Lin'an last time. Now the official family
Youkouyu wants to expel them from the Song Dynasty and return to their master. I have been ordered to carry out this errand, and I also ask the governor not to embarrass me."
Yuan Shao said: "They are all our Lin'an citizens. As the governor of Lin'an, I have the responsibility to protect the good and the weak, and I also have the responsibility to punish the lawless and evil. You handed them over to me for trial and questioning. It is indeed illegal as you said.
I can hand them over to your Imperial City Department for disposal."
As soon as Yuan Shao said these words, each of those who worked in detail became extremely pitiful and aggrieved. They even cried and begged Yuan Shao to redress their grievances, saying that they were beaten into submission and that they were innocent and kind people.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was resolute and unable to resist, Qian Mu ordered someone to go back and report to Zhang Chu.
When Zhang Chu heard that Yuan Shao had intervened, he was surprised and did not dare to make excuses, so he came in a hurry.
When Zhang Chu arrived, many people were already watching. Judging from the whispers of the people, most of them supported Yuan Shao and were speaking to support Yuan Shao.
Zhang Chu walked up to Yuan Shao and said: "Your Majesty, this time our family was on official errands, and they all confessed truthfully, without any grievances. Please don't interfere with our family and your Majesty."
It's the same, we are all doing errands for the officials, and the relationship is at loggerheads. Not only do we have no face, the officials also don't look good on their faces."
Yuan Shao said: "I know that the Imperial City Division is the emperor's eyes and ears, and the claws and claws of eagles and dogs. It is authorized by the emperor and it is not the turn of outsiders to take charge. However, my father-in-law, you arrested thirty-two people at one time and sent them all to be expelled. I am the governor of Lin'an.
Knowing nothing about this matter, if some of them are wronged, how can I live up to the trust of the people? How can I live up to the official robe on my body?"
Zhang Chu's face turned ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want, Sir?"
Yuan Shao did not hesitate and said: "I want to retry the case. If they are indeed guilty, I will not ask anything else. If they are not guilty, they must be released and returned home."
Zhang Chu's face turned ugly. His Imperial City Division had already tried it, and now it was about to be executed. If he was taken away by an outsider, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Imperial City Division? Who would be afraid of the Imperial City Division in the future? The majesty of the Imperial City Division
Where?
Zhang Chu thought of this, and in order to maintain the majesty of the Imperial City Division, his face darkened and he said, "What if our family doesn't comply?"
Yuan Shao looked directly at Zhang Chu with a firm gaze and said: "Justice and goodness cannot be blasphemed, and laws are strict and cannot be inverted. This is my duty. If my father-in-law insists on taking action, then please step on my corpse."
"Don't you think our family doesn't dare?"
"Whether you dare or not, it all depends on your father-in-law, and I have nothing to do with it."
After saying that, Yuan Shao turned around, stood with his hands behind his hands, and stopped talking, but his attitude said everything.
Zhang Chu wanted to be violent several times and wanted to order someone to push Yuan Shao away, but considering Yuan Shao's special status, Zhang Chu did not dare to do so.
After all, if he really attacked Lin'an Prefecture Yin, the dignity of the court would be lost. As Zhang Chu himself said, Zhao Yun's face was not good-looking at that time, and the consequences were not something he, Zhang Chu, could bear.
The two of them refused to give in and argued for a long time. In the end, they had no choice but to go to the palace and bring the lawsuit to Zhao Yun for judgment.
At this time, Zhao Yun was reviewing the memorial. Gao Shi came in to report. After telling this, Zhao Yun did not react for a while.
"Why did the two of them get into a fight?"
Zhao Yun was surprised. After he relayed it in a practical and simple way, Zhao Yun understood the cause and effect.
Now a difficult problem was placed in front of Zhao Yun. The Imperial City Division had concluded the case, and he, as the emperor, had approved it, and he had personally spoken out to expel these evildoers.
If the case is remanded for retrial and the Lin'an Prefecture is involved in the investigation, it will undoubtedly severely damage the prestige of the Imperial City Division. In the future, it will be difficult for anyone to fear the Imperial City Division, and Zhao Yun himself will also be slapped in the face.
If he does not send it back and ignores Yuan Shao's request, Yuan Shao's prestige as the governor of Lin'an will also be affected, and he is afraid that he will have difficulties in governing Lin'an in the future.
