In the early morning of the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month in the first year of the Song Dynasty, Yangzhou City experienced an unquiet night, and finally ushered in the first ray of sun amid the early morning frost and haze. High-speed update
People all over the city got up very early. Even at midnight, the big news last night had already become known to everyone. People spontaneously flocked to the government notice boards at the street corners, waiting for the notices posted by the government. Because of the rumors they heard from hearsay.
After all, the suspicion cannot be resolved, and although the notices issued by the government are not credible, they should not be talking nonsense on this important matter.
At three o'clock in the morning, the government officials arrived late, shouting and giving way, and came to the notice board and firmly posted the huge notice with the prefect's seal on the notice board; the common people seemed to be frightened.
The goose stretched its neck to look at the notice. Most people didn't know the words and couldn't see the reason.
"Brother Tolerance Officer, what happened last night? There was a riot all night long, and horses' hooves were clanging on the street all night long..." someone asked.
"No, isn't it written above?" the yamen officer pointed at the notice with disdain.
"That... little one can't read. Please tell me."
"Illiterate? Now you know the benefits of reading. In normal times, when you meet the failed scholars one by one, you all call them Qiong Cuoda. Now you know the disadvantages of not knowing any big characters." The yamen servant laughed.
"Yes, yes, you guys know your mistake, please tell me now. What are you talking about?"
"Forget it!" the yamen officer stood up and stared at the notice, shaking his head as he read: "I would like to tell my fellow villagers in Yangzhou: In the glorious and prosperous days of the Song Dynasty, we are benevolent and righteous, and under the mighty favor of the emperor, Xiaoxiao is stubborn and has nowhere to hide; after all,
According to the investigation, Feng Feng Jingyao, the master of Longhumen Martial Arts School in Yangzhou, was originally a bandit from the northwest and was responsible for countless murders. He fled to Yangzhou and lived incognito for sixteen years. During this period, he preyed on the common people, roamed the countryside, and colluded with more than ten government officials.
He occupied dozens of prosperous shops, hoarded important supplies for the imperial court, bullied the market, and made a fortune from the national crisis; he also collaborated with his disciples to commit more than ten murders in our Yangzhou Prefecture. He is the tyrant of our Yangzhou, and he is truly a heinous person.
"Su Jin, the imperial court's special envoy for grain affairs, came to Yangzhou to handle grain relief matters under the emperor's order. He found clues while inspecting the grain affairs, so he carefully investigated and collected evidence with Song Xiang, the prefect of Yangzhou, and finally found out Feng Jingyao's background.
and all kinds of crimes, and on the night of the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, a group of the chief culprits and colluded officials were captured, so as to eliminate this harm to the people of Yangzhou. We hereby announce that all the people in the city who have grievances and grievances will complain, and anyone who has been poisoned by Feng Jingyao
Citizens can go to the government office to register, and the prefect government office will approve the application on the 12th day of the ninth day of the lunar month. No waiting will be done if it is late!"
After the yamen officer read the notice, he turned around and said, "Did everyone understand it?"
The people started talking like crazy: "It's really Feng Laohu, this guy turns out to be a bandit, no wonder..."
"I didn't expect that this evil man would live like this. Now my dead uncle can rest in peace. This guy sent people to forcefully buy the tea shop at Caishikou in Xicheng City for only thirty guan. My uncle's life's hard work was ruined by this guy.
Already..."
Someone asked: "Why didn't your uncle sue the government?"
"Why didn't you sue him? My uncle went to file a complaint, but he was beaten by the criminal magistrate and thrown out. They said that my uncle accepted other people's money and it was a fair transaction. He regretted it later because he was being unruly. Poor uncle.
In a fit of anger, he hanged himself to death, and now my uncle can rest in peace."
The officer said: "The notice said that the prefect of the Song Dynasty and the special envoy Su will be in court today and tomorrow to accept the case. If you have any grievances, just go ahead."
The common people shouted one after another: "Go to the government office and file a complaint. Now the sky is clear in Yangzhou."
"Let's go together. Old man, I also want to see Special Envoy Su. The notice says it clearly. If it weren't for him, who would dare to touch Feng Laohu?"
"You're right, Su Qingtian is still brave..."
The crowd discussed happily and gathered in the government office one after another.
…
Su Jin was not at the government office. He was busy cleaning up the aftermath with his people. Pan Jiang had some skills. Su Jin, the two officials involved in the case who had escaped originally wanted him to search again at dawn, but he insisted on digging three feet into the ground in the middle of the night. came out; the only flaw was that Long Zhen still didn't see anyone, and he didn't know which corner he was hiding in.
However, Su Jin is not too anxious. As long as he is still in the city, he is afraid that he will fly away. Shen Tixing of the Tixing Division has not yet been brought to trial, and it is most likely that he spread the news about Long Zhen's escape.
But Su Jin is not in a hurry to interrogate him now. He is leading his bodyguard Sima Jun to confiscate Feng Jingyao's property in various places in the four cities. Su Jin has to do such a thing no matter how hard and tiring it is. This is a big fat piece of meat. Ah, there are so many fallen officers and soldiers who need to be compensated, as well as the fifty precious war horses, and the rewards that I promised to the soldiers and the imperial army who participated in this operation. Although these were all casual promises at the time, they were all required. Cashed in, where did the money come from? Ask the court for it? I'm afraid you won't even get a penny.
"Self-reliance and hard work." Su Jin shouted slogans to encourage himself. If the court doesn't pay for it, how can he pay for it himself? There is no way. Once Feng Jingyao's family property is reported, he will not get a penny back, so Su Jin would rather do it himself Take action.
Of course, in Song Xiang's eyes, Commander Su was ignorant of the importance. He left the prisoner without interrogation and without collecting evidence, but went to do what the officials should do. It was really unfathomable. As for Song Xiang's muttering, Su Jin naturally laughed it off.
The harvest is huge and inspiring. The family property accumulated by Feng Jingyao for more than ten years can be described as priceless. It is just the pavilion of the house, an alley three miles away from the north entrance, plus dozens of shops with various buildings in the four cities. Roughly speaking, The total value was five to six million guan. In addition, the various goods in the shop, several secret rooms where money was hidden, and more than 3 million guan in cash were found, as well as jade, coral, pearls, agate, gems, and all kinds of strange things. , with a total value of no less than ten million.
Su Jin spent most of the morning in a sluggish state of smacking his lips. What does it mean that there is heaven and earth, and there are people outside the world? What does it mean to be rich and invincible? What does it mean to be a rich man? Feng Jingyao is the one! He can't do it even if he only has two small coins. Little did he know that his money was a thousand times more than his own, so in front of Feng Jingyao, he was just a pitiful little beggar.
While Su Jin cursed Feng Jingyao's greed, he secretly ordered Chao Chao to take the Yan family's companions to the Yuelai Inn in carriages. The Forbidden Army soldiers turned a blind eye because they were too busy, carrying bags and bags on their saddles. The water bags were filled with gold and silver; the envoy also turned a blind eye.
Even so, in the afternoon, the discounted amount on the booklet's book was still over 8 million yuan. After all, Su Jin couldn't take away the materials and real estate even if he wanted to.
Several women at the Yuelai Inn covered their mouths and watched as boxes of real money, silver and other valuables were carried into the inn, with their brows furrowed and worried.
Rou Niang couldn't help but said: "Sister Yan, please advise the young master, it will be very serious if he is reported to the police for doing this. Besides, these money are the people's wealth and wealth collected by Feng Laohu. How can he take it home?"
Yan Biyun sighed and said, "You still don't know, your young master? You spent so much effort to knock down Feng Laohu this time. If he didn't do this, he wouldn't be Su Jin."
"But it's not good to do this. We spent so much money on Bagong Mountain last time, and we can't spend it all in a few lifetimes. What's the use of having so much money? Too much money will cause more troubles out of thin air."
Yan Biyun said: "Money is not a bad thing, as long as it is obtained through normal channels. Things like this really make people feel uneasy, and I don't know what he is thinking."
Su Jin didn't think too much. He was a poor man in his previous life, how can he still be a poor man in this life? Feng Laohu's money was turned over to the court? Su Jin didn't dare to compliment the officials of the Song Dynasty now. If he turned it over, he might not know who he would end up with.
A fanny pack, in this case, it is better to put it in your own fanny bag.
As for what the money is, and whether it is meant to benefit the people? If anyone says this in front of Su Jin, Su Jin will give him a big look.
"I still want to maintain world peace, save the universe, and capture aliens, but where is my turn for these things? Money is a good thing. Money can even buy your life. Keep money in case of accidents, in case the court is unkind.
, I can at least use this money to ward off disasters and survive, right?
