"Judge Han, Judge Han, aren't you always in trouble? Dongming is still fifty or sixty miles away from Bianliang!" Hou Nan, the commander of the fifth battalion of the left wing of the Divine Guards, immediately said pitifully with a sad face.
"You Gong, Kaifeng Mansion is in charge of public security in the capital, and it can reach as far east as Kaocheng, and Dongming Town is still to the west of Kaocheng." Han Qing smiled and added confidently, "Yu Private, the assassin's arrow just now,
Half of them were shot at Han. Han must know who the main messenger is?"
"Indeed, this case should be handled by the Han Embassy itself. Yang was almost confused by you just now." After hearing Han Qing's flat refusal, Yang Xu decisively changed his mind and loudly supported him.
Both he and Han Qing grew up in Bianliang, and have long been familiar with the respective scope of responsibilities of Kaifeng Mansion and the four armies of Pengri, Tianwu, Longwei and Shenwei.
The former is responsible for the security of the entire sixteen counties of Kaifeng, including anti-smuggling, catching theft, investigating crimes, fighting, murders, bullying, and many other matters. The latter, also known as the "Shangsi Army", is divided into regions to protect the areas outside the imperial city.
, order within the entire Gyeonggi region, and suppress rebellion, mass riots, large-scale armed fights and other emergencies that threaten the stability of the court.
Dongming Town is located outside Bianliang City. It is not only within the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, but also the jurisdiction of the Divine Guards.
Logically speaking, both sides do have the right to take away the assassin and track down the real culprit.
Therefore, Hou Nan's previous proposal to take the assassin away seemed reasonable and reasonable on the surface.
However, knowing that Han Qing was the new judge of the South Court of Kaifeng Prefecture, he was about to take away all the assassins without even saying hello, which made him a little anxious.
Yang Xu had previously felt guilty because he left, which gave the assassin an opportunity to take advantage of. So he did not think about it. Han Qing was already the Nansi Envoy of Kaifeng Prefecture and was no longer the executioner of Jingdong East Road.
At this time, after listening to the argument between Han Qing and Hou Nan, I immediately understood the meaning!
Something is wrong. What Hou is doing is very wrong.
To put it mildly, he did not take Han Qing, the new southern court judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, seriously. To put it more seriously, if this man was so eager to take away all the arrested assassins, he was suspected of helping the envoy to cover up the clues of the crime.
Based on this person's previous performance, he is clearly an old man in officialdom. He is extremely skilled at flattering superiors and bullying subordinates.
It is so unreasonable to pretend that Han Qing does not exist despite being introduced by Yang Xu personally that Han Qing is the Nansi Envoy of Kaifeng Prefecture, and his official rank is far above that of his battalion commander.
"Captain Yang, Judge Han, this is the truth, but it is really difficult for me to do it. After all, before Kaifeng Mansion, they rarely cared about matters so far away from Bianliang. And Judge Han should not have received the seal yet."
Hou Nan was very eloquent. He smiled dryly and continued to hand over his hands, "You guys, let's see if this works. Let me take the assassin back for a formality. Then the Kaifeng Mansion will write a letter to mention the assassin at any time. In this way, I have an explanation to my superiors.
Judge Han also had time to rest for a few days to relieve the fatigue of the journey, and then he received the official seal and performed his duties in the hall?!"
Listening to the other party's eloquent words, Han Qing smiled and took the initiative to give in, "Since General Hou has said this, Han will not make it difficult for you! You and I will each take one of the two captured assassins.
How? In this way, you have an explanation to the superiors, Han, and the investigation will not be delayed. "
As he spoke, he quickly made a gesture to Wu You and others that he created in Dengzhou to facilitate the command of water battles. When the latter saw it, they immediately gathered all the accompanying guards, escorted the assassin, and walked quickly towards him.
behind.
"This, this..." I didn't expect that Han Qing, who looked young, was so difficult to deal with. Hou Nan, the commander of the fifth battalion on the left side of the Divine Guard Army, raised his hand again and begged repeatedly, "This, this is not impossible.
But the assassination of a political official was not an ordinary case. And the order in the eastern part of Gyeonggi Province was clearly maintained by the Divine Guards. Instead of this, Judge Han sent a few capable brothers to accompany him to escort the assassin to the Divine Guards camp.
.When you meet with me, the Superintendent of the King of the Divine Guard Army, and put forward your request, I believe he will not refute your favor."
Although his words were softer than noodles, the brothers under his command jumped off their mounts one after another, gathered around him, and started to snatch people away if they disagreed.
If Han Qing were an ordinary civil servant and saw that the opponent was outnumbered, he might have had no choice but to pinch his nose and give in.
After all, if the two sides argue, he will inevitably suffer an immediate loss. And even if the lawsuit is brought to the court later, it will be a misunderstanding caused by overlapping jurisdictions. The officials and several prime ministers cannot be too partial to any party.
However, Han Qing, who dared to lead a dozen brothers to attack the area occupied by the Liao Army, was never afraid of the enemy's large numbers.
Seeing that the other party had bad intentions, he immediately put his right hand on the hilt of the sword, "Why don't Commander Hou send a few cronies to send the assassin to the Kaifeng Mansion prison with me. When the Kaifeng Mansion Yin, that is, the Wang Xiang wakes up, follow him face to face.
He said that the Divine Guards would also be involved in tracking down the person behind the assassination of the current dynasty's political advisor. Presumably, for the sake of Chu Dujian, Prime Minister Wang would definitely invite people from the Divine Guards to interrogate the assassins."
"This, this, how can I be the master of this? Judge Han, Captain Yang Qi, you are all big shots, why don't you make it difficult for me, a small general of the battalion?" Hou Nan, the commander of the fifth battalion of the left wing of the Divine Guards, heard this and said,
He immediately knew that his wishful thinking had completely failed, and while begging in a low voice, he tried to bypass Han Qing and squeeze towards the captured assassin.
Seeing this, the rest of the Divine Guards officers hurriedly followed up. Although they did not hold weapons in their hands, they relied on the strength of their numbers to push Zhang Fan and Liu Hong, who were standing in front of Han Qing, to stagger back.
"Wu You, prepare for battle!" Han Qing raised his hand unceremoniously, grabbed Hou Nan's chest armor, and shouted sternly at the same time.
He was tall, practiced martial arts constantly, and his physical strength was far beyond ordinary people. He had been on the battlefield many times. How could Hou Nan resist a sudden attack?
Immediately, he lifted her up from the ground like a chicken, kicking her legs in mid-air, "Judge Han, Judge Han, what are you going to do? Although Hou has a lower official position than you, you beat him for no reason.
Hou, there are endless lawsuits!"
"Protect the commander, protect the commander!" The other soldiers of the Divine Guards did not expect that Han Qing would really dare to take action. They immediately did not dare to push forward and shouted loudly in panic.
Wu You and others quickly formed a formation to prepare for battle. Although the number of people was small, murderous intent came out of the formation, making people afraid to approach easily.
"Han is a civil servant, but you are a military general, and you have a battalion of brothers with you." Han Qingzhi used his arms and reminded with a sneer, "Han even beats you half to death in front of your whole battalion of brothers, if you say this,
Does anyone in the world believe this?"
"You, you..." Hou Nan was so angry and anxious that her eyes turned white and she almost fainted on the spot.
Previously, he felt that Han Qing was a civil servant, but recently he had gotten into big trouble with "reincarnated robbers". Even if he did some rogue tricks, he would not be held accountable in the future.
But they just forgot that Han Qing, a civil servant, was the queen of the generals, and he was so courageous that even party envoys dared to pull off their horses and beat them in the street.
If he was really beaten to death by Han Qing today, even if there were witnesses and physical evidence, the superiors would only be able to make peace with him.
Otherwise, the case will become known to everyone. The Divine Guards battalion general responsible for guarding the capital will lead all the brothers in the battalion and the Kaifeng Prefecture Judge who has never fought with bare hands. How will the Divine Guards gain a foothold in the four armies of the capital in the future?
?
If he just gave in, he would get nothing good after he went back.
Although the assassination of Han Qing, the judge of the South Court of Kaifeng Prefecture, would cause a big stir, it would not necessarily make the officials angry. After the layers of coordination are worked out, no one might be able to seriously investigate the case and get to the bottom of it.
But if Han Qing is allowed to take the assassin back to Kaifeng Mansion and change the target of the assassination to a political official of the day, no matter whether Wang Shu can wake up after the incident or the severity of his injuries, the court must investigate to the end.
After all, the deputy prime minister, no matter how low the ranking is, is also a deputy prime minister, representing the face and authority of the court. As long as the Song Dynasty does not want to subjugate the country, the people behind the scenes must be uncovered and the officials and people all over the world must be given an account!
"Judge Han, if you have something to say, you have something to say!"
"Judge Han, please be merciful, be merciful, my commander, my commander is about to be strangled to death by you."
…
When the other soldiers of the fifth battalion of the Divine Guards saw that their commander was captured alive by the enemy with one hand, their morale plummeted, and they all begged Han Qing for mercy.
"You guys get out of the way, this is between me and him. It has nothing to do with you!" Han Qing sneered and loosened his fingers slightly, then simply grabbed Hou Nan's belt and lifted the man directly above his head.
"Save me, save me quickly -" Hou Nan turned pale with fright and screamed sharply.
The soldiers of the fifth battalion on the left wing of the God's Guards became less and less courageous to confront Han Qing and others head-on. They staggered back one after another, but refused to give up the road to Bianliang.
At the moment of a stalemate, a group of people suddenly came over from the direction of Dongming Town. Near the front of the team, there was a man wearing the uniform of a sixth-grade civil servant. He shouted loudly, "What is going on in the front? You divine guards.
Why did the army block the official road so that the people could not pass normally?"
"Replying to the doctor, someone was assassinated. My camp general wanted to capture the assassin and bring him to justice, but the host insisted on tracking down the person behind the scenes. The two sides couldn't argue, so it was delayed for some time." The fifth battalion of the Divine Guards on the left side immediately flashed out.
After passing a Yuhou, he trotted to the horse of the civil servant and explained loudly.
Such an explanation was tantamount to a complaint. The sixth-grade civil servant immediately turned his head to his companion, a man who was also wearing the regular uniform of a sixth-grade official, and said, "Marquis Yu of Chudu, I seem to be one of your subordinates."
"I have just been transferred to the Divine Guards by order, and I haven't even sat on my butt. Who can I recognize?" The official surnamed Chu shrugged and responded helplessly. Then he dismounted and strode toward the scene of the conflict.
, while saying loudly, "Stop it, don't let others laugh at the emperor's feet! This strong man is so strong that he can lift a living person weighing hundreds of kilograms into the air with one hand. Unluckily, Chu
, he happens to be his boss, and he has the guts to ask for a favor from the strong man, can you put him down first so that the two of us can talk slowly."
