A new batch of Kaifeng Prefecture's rapid-fire shooters arrived to protect the scene.
Happy forest.
More and more onlookers came from all directions.
Bianjing also has a population of one million. It is now the largest city in the world. Its city size is smaller than Chang'an. A large number of people are scattered in the outer city. But when I heard the news, the surging flow of people was like a sea of people.
With such a feeling, all the shops that were originally deserted suddenly became happy, and the shopkeepers of the wine shops even stopped pretending, with smiles on their faces.
As the number of people increased, they became bolder. When the exact news spread from Happy Forest, everyone immediately clapped their hands and cheered: "Have a good death, Xiang Heizi!"
"You don't know how vicious this smiling tiger is. He grinds his teeth and sucks blood. He specially selects servants and servants for training. He died countless times before he raised these women. That's how it happened. Happy Forest died within half a year.
There are three or four famous ones..."
"Does the government care about it?"
"He is relying on the support of the Queen Mother, and no one has reported it to the official. Who cares if it is said to the outside world that those women have taken the reward and returned to their hometown to get married?"
"Is there any reward?"
"There is a fart, Xiang Heizi made a lot of money, and those girls worked hard in sumo wrestling, but in the end they were so poor that they couldn't even afford the girls. This news came out. Later, the person who broke the news disappeared, and he didn't know whether to live or die.
!”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, knock the bones and suck out the marrow!"
Li Yan and Lin San listened.
Lin San thought about how the "Sai Mao Duo" he once liked so much was actually a fake match and suffered such a tragic experience. He immediately gritted his teeth and said: "He really deserves to die!"
Li Yanze knew that these words could not be fully believed, but he continued to listen and extracted a lot of important information from others: "Will this case be investigated further? The person who died was Xiang Sanheizi. As I say, whoever he is
How did you die!"
"The matter is so big, the murderer must be caught, but the current magistrate Fan Longtu is an upright official, and he may not pay attention to the pressure from the Queen Mother..."
"I don't understand. The Queen Mother supports the old party. Fan Longtu is from the old party, so how can she ignore it?"
"Why is the prefect changed again? The prefects have been changed over the years..."
"It doesn't matter who the prefect is, the judges and prosecutors are the ones who decide the case. The cold-faced judge Gongsun Zhao was originally the imprisonment officer of the Imperial City Division. He repeatedly solved major cases. He entered the Kaifeng Prefecture due to his merits. This time he came forward.
, I’m afraid the murderer won’t be able to escape!”
"Judge Gongsun is a good judge. How many days do you think he can solve the case?"
"Open! Open!"
…
Li Yan listened with great interest.
Lin Yuanjing rarely talked about affairs in the DPRK at home, or he really didn't understand the many twists and turns in the officialdom. These old Bianjings who were particularly good at talking were all more familiar with the changes in the officialdom than the dignified seventh-rank officials. Although it seems that
I don’t know the deep-seated contest, but some complaints are very reflective of the current situation.
For example, the change of prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.
The governor of Kaifeng does not have a permanent position. The one who is really in charge is Bao Zheng who has the power to know the affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture. He is appointed by the civil servants above Zhi (fourth rank) or Shaoqing (sixth rank). They are equivalent to the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.
It's okay if there is no real governor. The key is that this position changes too frequently. During the 146 years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were 183 governors of Kaifeng Prefecture. According to later generations, there were 127 governors who served for less than one year, and some who served for more than one year.
There are 56 terms in office, 6 terms have served for more than 2 years, and only 5 terms have served for more than 3 years.
Normally, an official should serve for 3 to 4 years. The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture is better, and those who meet this requirement can only serve for 5 years. The most exaggerated one is the early period of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, from 1101 to 1105, which changed in five years.
15 governors of Kaifeng Prefecture, with an average of 3 changes per year...
Different ministers must have different ways of doing things. For example, after Bao Zheng, it was Ouyang Xiu who had the power to know the affairs of Kaifeng government with the authority of a Hanlin scholar. The styles of the two were exactly the opposite. Bao Zheng "managed his subordinates with majesty and became famous in the city", while Ouyang Xiu "
Everything should be based on reason, regardless of style, and the capital should be governed." Therefore, there is a saying of "to be strict and to be lenient".
That's it for Bao Zheng and Ouyang Xiu. Whether other prefects can play a role in their short term of office is a big question mark, including the current Kaifeng Prefecture chief, who was replaced by Zhao Ji when he first ascended the throne.
A direct scholar knew Fan Chunli of Kaifeng Mansion.
This man's father is Wen Zhenggong Fan Zhongyan, and his elder brother is Fan Chunren, the civilian prime minister of the Zhe Zong Dynasty. He will be promoted to prime minister in the future, and he will be an upright official. However, in the position of Kaifeng Prefecture magistrate, he has done nothing. No fault is merit.
Another key figure among the people is Gongsun Zhao, who used to serve in the Imperial City Division and is now the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture.
When the Neiwei appeared, Li Yan compared it with the Imperial City Division, because it was the first recorded independent intelligence agency in China's official history. It was not subject to the supervision of the three government agencies and was directly under the imperial power.
This spy organization was originally used by Zhao Kuangyin to monitor the public opinion of the army. It later developed in successive dynasties. In the Gaozong Dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty, the spy function was brought into full play.
arts."
When Li Yan saw this sentence at that time, he maliciously guessed that in other times it was okay to talk about officials favoring concubines, but Wan Yangou was frightened into becoming an eunuch, and if the people continued to criticize him, his self-esteem would not be able to bear it.
However, because there are not many records of the specific personnel of the Imperial City Division, and there was even a ban on gambling and drinking during the period, which resulted in a shortage of official positions and no one answered the call, so the reputation of later generations was far less than that of the Jinyiwei.
Judging from the discussions among the people, the Imperial City Division is not very good at this stage. Gongsun Zhao has jumped out of the fire pit and has a promising future, and his ability to solve cases is also well-known.
Therefore, after the gambling opens, there is no option of not being able to break the game. The bet is on how many days it will take to break the game.
Lin San looked at the opening of the market in full swing, but his hands were not itchy. He just sighed: "The person who killed Xiang Sanheizi should be a righteous man and should not be caught..."
Li Yan shook his head: "Even if the principal Xiang is a vicious thief who deserves to die, as everyone said, the person who killed him is not a good person. I can only say that this matter was a moment of justice."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin San muttered: "That's good, why did no one in Kaifeng Mansion pay attention to Xiang Sanheizi when he did evil? When he died, he looked coldly
The judges are all out..."
Li Yan knows that when the court is incompetent, the people will be more and more eager for this kind of justice, because procedural justice cannot be guaranteed at all. Corrupt officials are rampant, regardless of whether the people live or die. Can't the people save themselves?
Therefore, even if the procedures were very unfair, Liang Shanbo raised the banner of doing justice for heaven, and at least pursued justice in the outcome, and wanted to change the way of the world. As a result, he gathered people and accepted the recruitment.
Of course, many people had this idea originally. Even in the original book, it was not Song Jiang who originally proposed the term "recruitment for peace", but Wu Song.
Acting on behalf of Heaven turns out to be acting on behalf of the Emperor, and it seems quite reasonable for Heaven to grant imperial power...
However, for a group of bandits who were originally composed of mostly local ruffians and bully bandits, the pattern was just like this.
Just as he was thinking about it, the person in front suddenly became excited: "It's out! It's out!"
The people who were previously trapped in Happy Forest formed a long line and filed out under the watchful eyes of the catchers.
Li Yan saw at a glance that he should be Gongsun Zhao's green-robed official. His face was as tight as ice, his eyes scanned everyone, and his nose gently sniffed, pulling out a few people from time to time.
Lin San stood on tiptoe and saw this scene, wondering: "What is he doing?"
Li Yan said: "It should be the smell of blood or the smell of spices that mask the smell of blood. It seems that the murderer caused a lot of bleeding when he committed the crime. Even if he changed his clothes, people with a keen sense of smell can still smell the smell."
Lin San screamed: "Erlang, how do you know this?"
Li Yan smiled and said: "It's a guess. Don't believe it blindly. I may have guessed wrong. The murderer may have left other smells at the scene. It's just that heavy bleeding is the most likely scenario."
Lin San wanted to speak again, and Li Yan said: "Zhang Jinjun and the others are coming out."
The Imperial Guards from the Beijing Camp who had eaten together before did line up and showed up. Then Gongsun Zhao looked at the leader Zhang Huan, waved his hand and asked the police to pull him aside, but Chen Wu and others were let out.
They found Li Yan standing among the melon-eating crowd, very conspicuous, and they immediately ran over to this side: "Young Master!"
Li Yan asked: "What happened to Zhang Silang? Why did the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture detain him?"
Chen Wu sighed: "I don't know, but with Judge Gongsun here, I'm not afraid of slandering Brother Zhang. It's just that we have to eat and die after we return to camp..."
Li Yan asked again: "I heard that the person who was killed was Mr. Xiang. How did he die? Where was the body found?"
Chen Wu shrank his neck and lowered his voice: "I heard that on the high platform, a scream suddenly came, and the woman was frightened... She died very miserably, her chest was broken open, and her intestines fell out.
…”
Li Yan said: "If you disembowel yourself, does that mean you bleed to death?"
Chen Wu trembled and said: "No, I heard that he was strangled to death by his own intestines. We have never heard of this method of death. It's so terrible..."
Li Yan's eyes moved slightly: "It seems that the butcher's business will be affected."
As soon as he finished speaking, the police officer shouted to the crowd of onlookers: "The butchers and butchers are out! Judge Gongsun wants you to help investigate the case. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded heavily!"
There was a commotion in the crowd for a moment, and a few big and thick men actually came out and were arrested and brought in quickly.
Lin San was a little surprised when he saw it: "Are these people willing to come out?"
Chen Wu explained: "Judge Gongsun is from the Imperial City Division, but he is different from other people in the Imperial City Division. After using informants, he always fulfills his promise, and everyone believes in him."
Another imperial guard also had respect in his tone: "He became famous at a young age, has strong martial arts skills, is not afraid of the powerful, and works hard day and night in handling cases. Not only does the successive magistrates of Kaifeng Prefecture rely on him, but we and other military camp imperial guards also rely on him."
I heard it and admired it very much!”
Li Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Gongsun Zhao leading several butchers back to the scene of the crime resolutely. He felt a little strange and sighed: "Those who do this are all good officials. What a pity..."
