Chapter 949: One battle shaved off ten years of Jin Taizus lifespan
"stop!"
"Run! Run!"
"Those who flee will be killed without mercy...shoot with arrows!"
"
"Ah——" "Don't kill the little one, the little one will explain, the little one will explain!"
When the government's fast archers shot them dead, the fleeing thieves turned into corpses and fell to the ground. The people on the street skillfully avoided them and let out cheers.
Since Yan Ting launched a new round of operations against bullies, the first batch of unlucky ones were the powerful and evil slaves.
Unlike the Tang Dynasty, no matter how favored a servant was, he was still a servant. At best, he relied on human power. In the former Song Dynasty, slaves could be officials. These people were dog-like and even more unscrupulous in their evil deeds.
And since they know a lot of their master's evil deeds, they are more open-minded. They can use this to better obtain evidence of the crime, and naturally take the lead in arresting him.
Compared to the applause of the people, Qin Hui's wife, Wang, covered her face with a gauze scarf and hurriedly walked along the side of the street with her eyes averted, not daring to look at that scene.
Fortunately, not many thieves were able to escape to the streets. Most of them were caught on the spot, and the journey was peaceful until they arrived in front of the Yamen.
She looked around cautiously, then followed a group of women who were also covered in gauze and looked at the brand new notice board.
Seeing this, my heart sank involuntarily.
Because her husband Qin Hui's name is at the top of the list.
There is also a wanted portrait, which is very vivid and a treacherous air appears on the page.
The charges were brief and direct: "Yin and the captives, surrendering to the enemy and betraying the country, forgetting one's ancestors in countless classics, it is a heinous crime!"
Next to Qin Hui, there is also Wang's name listed: "His wife, Wang, comes from a well-known family and is complicit in the evil. Her crime is inexcusable!"
Wang's body shivered, and she was only glad that she didn't have a portrait.
It is true that there will not be such a thing, because the women who go out on the street all cover their faces with gauze scarves, and few of them show their true faces, so it would be useless to draw them.
The reason why the Wang family is listed is so that when arrested, she cannot escape as a woman.
In addition to Qin Hui and his wife, Wan Qixi was also on the list. They were still accused of complicity, and the portraits also depicted their characteristics, which made the Wang family secretly afraid. The court's investigation was too clear. Can they really escape?
At this moment, a clear voice came from the announcement office not far away:
"The imperial court thoroughly investigates bullies and will never do anything half-heartedly. Anyone who reports a crime and is truthful will be recorded in the eucalyptus. Family members will be given preferential treatment when enrolling in school and joining the army;"
"However, if you fabricate something that does not exist due to personal grudges, once it is found out, you will be punished for the same crime. No matter what crime you falsely accuse others of, you will also be punished for the same crime. Everyone remember, don't make a big mistake just because of a mistake;"
"The examination of criminals is conducted by the Ministry of Punishment, Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the three departments. Gongsun Zhao, the Yushi doctor, used to be a judge in Kaifeng Prefecture. He is familiar with criminal laws, handles affairs fairly, does not favor personal interests, and is fully responsible for the orders of the emperor.
Dear fellow villagers, please rest assured!"
This is when officials read out the "Yan Lv Shu Yi" aloud, emphasizing that while reporting evil deeds, they are not allowed to deliberately slander and frame them in order to seek rewards.
The people who gathered together to listen were very cautious at first. After all, the Zhao and Song Dynasties had done too many things in the past.
What's more, no one can tell whether it is evidence or false accusations, and the law enforcement officers will give them a fair trial. If they collude with the local gentry and bite them back, wouldn't it be the end of the world?
But when they heard that the law enforcer this time was Gongsun Zhao, everyone immediately felt like they had been granted amnesty.
"It's Gongsun Yanluo. Gongsun Yanluo is back. What kind of official is the censor?"
"He is the biggest official in Yushitai. All the officials are under his control. We no longer have to worry about being harmed by dog officials!"
"Your Majesty is a sage! Your Majesty is a sage!"
Compared with Gao Qingtian, whose reputation lies in helping Yan Yun recover, and later imprisoned for unwarranted crimes, which made the world unjust, Ding Run's reputation lies in the dog-killing officer who enjoys grudges and is the most admired among the military and Jianghu. Gongsun Zhao's reputation is among the eight.
In the years of being a judge, the foundation has been built up bit by bit, and the foundation is the strongest.
Just like Bao Zheng in the past, "when there is no joint, there is Yama and Luo Lao Bao", who enforces the law strictly and does not show favoritism. With such a good official, there is no fear of unfair judgment. When reputation and official position form the best complement, it can be more stable.
People's hearts.
Different people enforce the law, and the effects they bring are indeed completely different. Everyone immediately rushed towards the Ministry of Punishment's reporting area, causing the officials to keep shouting: "Come one by one! Come one by one! There is no need to rush!"
People from all over the country gathered in the capital to determine the general scope through their reports, and then went to the local area for further investigation, and finally uncovered all the landlords and bullies who had done evil.
This is undoubtedly a huge project, but it is precisely when the dynasty changes and the new regime is at the peak of its authority that the carrion can be scraped out quickly.
After a while, the carrion will re-grow with the new body and be hidden under the skin. It will not be visible from the outside. It will be very difficult to move it again.
"When a man of hard work like Brother Gongsun comes forward, the world will finally be different!"
At this time, among the Dali Temple officials who were also present, a minister wearing a green robe showed a smile. It was Qiu Wuzuo, the former assistant of Gongsun Zhao.
Now he is the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. When he thinks that Gongsun Zhao is wanted, he once felt disheartened and lived in confusion. Then in less than ten years, the dynasty has changed and the world has changed. He can't help but sigh.
But when his eyes glanced around and landed on Mrs. Wang, Qiu Sicheng felt that this woman's expression was a little strange.
"not good!"
Mrs. Wang was gritting her teeth at first, but she was extremely keen. When she found out that she was being noticed, she immediately forced herself to calm down and looked curiously like other women, sometimes talking in a low voice.
[To be honest, I have recently updated it, switched sources, and have many reading sounds. yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
Qiu Si Cheng stared at them for a moment, not wanting to be rude, and then moved away. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and walked with the flow of people. When they were far away, she quickly left, and in the end she almost ran away in a panic.
The purpose of coming out this time was to see the court's reaction. He was on the wanted list, and after being noticed again, he no longer dared to wander around. The Wang family returned all the way to the Tonghui River.
Tonghui River is the official name of this section of the canal in Yanjing. At this time, the watermen at the dock were shouting and carrying goods, sweating. Due to the construction of the capital, waterworkers have become the most growing type of work recently, and the docks are also in the city.
The management is relatively chaotic. Every day there is a constant flow of boats, coming and going from north to south, and there are people of all kinds.
Ms. Wang was plainly dressed like a peasant woman, inconspicuous, and came to a boat and jumped on it.
The curtain was opened, revealing half of Wan Qixi's face. When he saw it was her, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister-in-law, come in quickly!"
Qin Hui was lying in the cabin, his face turned pale, there was a wound on his waist, and there was a faint smell of blood: "How?"
Wang said in a low voice: "The court's wanted notice has been issued. Those Jin people must have been caught. You are all there, and the slave family's name is also on it..."
Qin Hui sighed: "Not unexpected... Not unexpected..."
Before the Shanhaiguan scholars surrendered to the enemy, Qin Hui persuaded Wanyan Po Lu Huo to move the place and disperse secretly.
The reason is very simple. This time the scholar-bureaucrats went northward is not the end, but just the beginning. It will continue slowly.
Although Wanyan Po Lu Huo increasingly looked down upon this method of harming her compatriots, she gradually relied on him and chose to believe in Qin Hui's arrangements.
With this arrangement, the Jin entered, but Qin Hui and his wife escaped with difficulty. During the arrest, the Jin warriors fought back fiercely, attracting most of the firepower. Qin Hui and his wife took the opportunity to escape through a dog hole and ended up here.
Now that he heard that the three of them were accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and put on the wanted notice of the new dynasty, his facial features twisted, and he took a deep breath and said: "Brother Wanqi, it is our husband and wife who have caused trouble for you..."
Wan Qixi actually hated Qin Hui and his wife to the core, and could not hide the hatred in his tone. He simply said: "Brother Qin, please don't speak like this. It's the king of Yan who values martial arts and neglects literature. He wants to recreate the chaos of the Five Dynasties and won't give us and other Confucian scholars a way to live."
!”
Qin Hui sighed: "We have all been taken advantage of by King Yan. He must have wanted to attack the scholars for a long time, but he had no excuse. Now he is taking advantage of the opportunity to attack. It is really an atrocity of a tyrant!"
Wang said bitterly: "The imperial court is so bloodthirsty, how can it be the way to govern a country? Just wait and see, there will be wars everywhere next, and the powerful gentry will not sit still and wait for death!"
Wan Qixi was more concerned about how to escape and suggested: "I have contacted several scholars before, all of whom had official positions in the previous dynasty. One was Du Chong, whose courtesy name was Gongmei, who was from Xiangzhou, and one was Liu Yu, whose courtesy name was Yanyou.
, people from Fucheng, Hebei Province, they have an old relationship with Liu Yanqing, the general of the Western Army, and they also have the intention of investing money, and they may be able to send us out of the country."
Qin Hui asked curiously: "Why do these two people want to invest money?"
Wan Qixi said: "They were all Jinshi during the Zhezong period. They originally had a great future, but they were failed in the official examination. They tried hard to get what they asked for, and they hated them deeply. Now the court wants to kill them all, so they share the same hatred with the enemy!"
Qin Hui thought about it and said slowly: "After passing through Shanhaiguan, the border guards must be tighter. It is too dangerous to leave the country now... How about we go the other way and go south to join the Han family in Xiangzhou?"
Wan Qixi was puzzled: "Han family? Brother Qin, does he still want them to cherish their old friendship?"
Qin Hui shook his head: "I have had close contacts with the Han family before. If I were caught in the Han family, they would have no excuse. As long as I handle it well, they will help me cover it up! After this period of time has passed, they will not be able to defend themselves.
, let’s see how the Kingdom of Jin fares, if those group of Jurchens can gain a firm foothold in the North, it won’t be too late to seek refuge with them!”
Wan Qixi thought about it for a while and thought it made sense: "Brother Qin has a good opinion. Compared with other places, the Han family is the most stable!"
Qin Hui showed a tired look, and the wound started to hurt: "Then please ask Brother Wanqi to help us and our party..."
Wan Qixi knew that if he really wanted to join the Jin people, he would have to come forward, so he could only get out of the cabin and order his men to get up. Soon the ship sailed out of the Tonghui River and headed south.
When they arrived at Daming Mansion, they got on the carriage and the journey was bumpy. Qin Hui didn't dare to let the doctor treat his wounds. He had two more fevers. He was so groggy that he didn't know whether it was day or night.
On this day, the carriage slowly stopped and voices came from outside. He woke up confused and called softly: "Madam! Madam!"
Mrs. Wang came in quickly and looked happy: "Husband, you are finally awake! Come... drink water and eat!"
Qin Hui ate the food and felt a little more energetic: "Where is this?"
Wang said in a low voice: "We have arrived in Xiangzhou. In Tangyin County, we are trying to find a way to contact the Han family..."
Qin Hui warned: "Be careful. The Han family has a century-old foundation here. We must be careful about being silenced! Help me...help me down!"
Mrs. Wang helped him out of the carriage. Compared with the bustling and crowded capital, the open fields can make people feel more relaxed, but Qin Hui didn't feel the slightest bit. He was now desperate and how could he be in the mood to appreciate the scenery? He turned his eyes
