Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 200

Indignant, Peng Zeliang turned his gaze away from Su Chen, otherwise, if he continued to stare, he would really lose his urge to continue hitting people, and even let the police catch him and put him in jail!

Any father would never want to see his daughter hurting herself for a man, suffering, suffering, and scarred!

Even in ancient times, men were superior to women, and married daughters splashed water, but some people of status still regarded their daughters as the apple of their eye and cherished them extremely.

Peng Zeliang's main wife died prematurely, and Qingqing lost his mother when he was five years old. In order not to let his daughter be bullied, and to fulfill his promise to his deceased wife, he did not continue to be the main wife and equal wife, and only took one room. Concubine, but not given any status.In Peng's residence, Miss Qingqing is still the most precious.

He himself had never hit Qingqing himself. It was the first time he had been injured like this when he grew up so big. How could Peng Zeliang not be angry?

"Who exactly did it?"

Su Chen replied: "Master Zhifu, they should be the Jiangdong Five Monsters in the green forest. They were led by one person to the Su Mansion to commit murder. There were six of them, all of whom came here. It happened to be Qingqing... last night. After the meal, it was too late to teach my sister Linger martial arts, so I stayed with her. When the green forest gangster entered Su's residence, he was discovered by Qingqing, so they fought..."

My daughter, who has not left the pavilion, is living in the Su Mansion again!

Thinking of this, Peng Zeliang felt ashamed and angry. The servant girl even told herself that she went to live with Su Su in Bai's house and lied to the master, she really owed a beating!

From now on, Peng Zeliang intends to strictly monitor his daughter's whereabouts, and is determined not to let her stay out at night.

"Don't call her Qingqingfang's name, but Miss Peng, she doesn't know you that well!" Peng Zeliang corrected Su Chen's verbal address error like stealing a bell.

Su Chen was ashamed, bowed his hands to be taught, and dared not say more.

Seeing Su Chen being wronged, Bai Susu couldn't bear it, Yingying took two steps forward and said: "Uncle Peng, the Jiangdong Five Monsters have a bad reputation in the green forest, but they haven't entered Runzhou City for the past two years, they only walk in the rivers and lakes, they and Su Chen has no grievances and no vengeance, this time he entered the Su residence at night, in fact, he has other plans."

Peng Zeliang looked at Bai Susu, and always admired her wit. Seeing that she said so, it must have a reason, and asked, "What's the secret behind this?"

Bai Susu sighed: "To be honest, in fact, whether it is Qingqing or Su Chen, they are all implicated by the Bai family; recently, the Bai family and the Ding family have completely torn each other because of the imperial merchant's tribute to porcelain, and the Ding family even did not hesitate. He bought the long-term worker at the kiln, stole the white porcelain formula of the Bai family, and sent someone to poison my grandfather's daily meals, causing a stroke, and he is still paralyzed in bed. But the Ding family did not expect that the Bai family With the help of Su Chen's secret recipe of blue and white porcelain and soap, he disrupted the Ding family's wishful thinking and threatened the Ding family's status. Therefore, two days ago, someone from the Ding family came to press Su Chen's secret recipe, so they hired Jiangdong Five Monsters again. Robbery and coercion."

After Peng Zeliang heard the words, his face became serious. If it was just the Jiangdong Five Monster Bandits in the green forest, he could send Runzhou police to the old lair of Huanghe Mountain to hunt them down. All the prefectures and counties are wanted.But when it comes to the Ding family, the first-class Jiangzuo family that has occupied Runzhou for decades, backed by the governor, even he, the prefect of Runzhou, can't move just by talking.

What's more, all of this is speculation, if there is no evidence to deal with the Ding family, they can be beaten by the Ding family.

Thinking of facing the intervention of the Yin governor, Peng Zeliang was also in a dilemma.

The post of governor has been established since the Han Dynasty. At first, it was only a supervisory position. In the first year of Suihe, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the governor was renamed the governor of the state, and his powers were further expanded, from the inspector to the local military administrator.

In the fifth year of Lingdi Zhongping, some senior governors were changed to pastors.In fact, the governor has become the chief official of the military administration of a state and the superior of the prefect, and the two-level state and county system was formed accordingly.The governors of the Wei and Jin Dynasties were divided into those who led the army and those who did not.

In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang changed the prefecture to a prefecture and the governor to a prefect; in the Tang Dynasty, the prefecture was changed to a prefecture and the prefect to a prefect.By the time of Xuanzong, the prefecture was restored as a county, and the governor was restored as the prefect; Suzong restored the old system in the early Tang Dynasty.In this way, the names of the governor and prefect have been changed, but the power and position have not changed significantly.

The Li family in the Southern Tang Dynasty learned from the old system of the Tang Dynasty. They not only set up governors in the state capital, but also introduced the post of magistrate. In fact, they were worried that the governors would be in charge of local civil affairs, military power, and supervision. They would act like the governors of feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty big.

Therefore, the power of local state officials was restricted, and the duties of Jiedushi were divided into governors and magistrates. For matters related to the common people, in terms of Pin Yi, the magistrate is one level lower than the governor.

This is just a feature of the Southern Tang’s own magistrates, while the Northern Song Dynasty has basically dropped the titles of governor and Jiedushi, and began to fully implement the new system of magistrates, such as prefects, prefects, general judges, criminal officials, and local third envoys. .

"The Ding family! Yin governor..." Peng Zeliang muttered to himself, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Because of this incident, Peng Zeliang broke the balance of the local officialdom, directly mobilized the Ding family, challenged the governor of Yin, and wanted to punish the crimes of the Ding family, the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although the status of merchants was low, they were very powerful in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they could even become officials, and there were occasional Jia people who were involved in politics.For example, Hanlin waited for Zhao Zangxun, who was born in Jiaren, traveled between Fujian and Vietnam, and was familiar with the local mountains and rivers, so he "determined the strategy of building a state for Chawen Huihua". (Recorded in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian")

Another historical example is recorded in "Ma's Southern Tang Book": During the Kaibao period, the Song division wanted to attack Jinling, and stationed water troops in Jiangling. "Stealing and Burning Dynasty Warships".

The economy of the Southern Tang Dynasty was declining and the national treasury was empty. If the Li family wanted to secure a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, they began to continuously elevate the status of the merchants and powerful gentry in the east of the Yangtze River to consolidate their foothold in the south of the Yangtze River.Therefore, the nine big families in Jiangzuo, as well as some big merchants in Jinling, have extraordinary status, and they cannot be moved by local officials. What's more, the big families have bribed many officials of the court, serving as protection funds and party struggle funds. The forces are intertwined.

Peng Zeliang looked at Miss Bai and asked, "Susu, can you produce conclusive evidence?"

Bai Susu pondered for a while, and said: "The five Jiangdong monsters were instigated by someone to come to Su's mansion to commit murder, mainly for Su Chen and his secret recipe. The operation failed tonight, but before they left, they snatched away Ling'er. They should use this as a threat, and wait for Su Chen to bring back the secret recipe in exchange for Ling'er. At that time, as long as he follows the clues and catches the Jiangdong Five Monsters, he will be able to pry out the mastermind behind the scenes from the five people."

Peng Zeliang nodded slightly, but he still had doubts: "If they catch the five monsters, they will talk hard and keep secrets, and refuse to admit it?"

Bai Susu sneered lightly and said: "The interrogation in the yamen has its own method of extorting confessions by torture. In addition to torture and intimidation, my Bai family will come forward again and lure them with a lot of money. I will offer five times the price that the Ding family pays them, and lure them to defect. That's it. Acting both hard and soft, I don’t believe these green forest bandits will not be tempted!”

"It makes sense!" Peng Zeliang heard Bai Susu's plan. Not only the magistrate's yamen sang bad faces, but also Bai Jiacai sang red faces with boldness, intimidation and temptation. This kind of green forest bandits with corrupt character and bad conduct expect them to keep their mouths shut. , It is impossible to stick to the bottom line, because they themselves have no bottom line.

Peng Zeliang said: "I will order all the squads to arrest the heads and search the whole city for the whereabouts of the five Jiangnan monsters!"

Bai Susu shook his head and said: "Uncle Peng, this will startle the snakes. Seeing that the magistrate's yamen is so important, the green forest bandits may not be able to escape; the Ding family is also in a bad mood, and they dare not contact the five monsters again, and even let them kill Silence, cut off the clues. So, for the time being, we have to pretend that nothing happened. Qingqing was only slightly injured. The Su family just went through the official reporting procedure and did not attract the attention of the magistrate. Just pretend to be a gatekeeper. Loose and tight, let's keep an eye on Su's residence, and if the five monsters see that the rumors are not tight, they will definitely send someone to deliver a letter, forcing Su Chen to bring the secret recipe to meet them, and then they will be wiped out."

Su Chen's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Bai Susu from time to time, thinking that she was quite scheming, and it would be better not to offend her in the future, otherwise she would figure it out and deduct every trick, which would be enough for him!

Peng Zeliang stroked his short beard, and quietly listened to Bai Susu's analysis. He was clearly organized, detailed and clear, and nodded in agreement that his strategy was feasible.

"Then follow Susu's method and keep the matter to a minimum tonight. The prefect told the police officers to keep tight-lipped and not to leak any information." Peng Zeliang decided to implement Bai Susu's strategy. In addition to being able to catch the robbers and save his daughter In addition to avenging and resolving hatred, it is also in his interest to temporarily suppress the turmoil of this matter, so as not to damage the reputation of his daughter's overnight stay in the Su Mansion.

As for dealing with the Ding family, the mastermind behind the scenes, Peng Zeliang felt that with his status as the magistrate alone, he could not move for the time being. He needed to cooperate with the Bai family to obtain more evidence of the Ding family's crimes, so that the Yin governor could be speechless.It would be best to transfer the governor of Yin to leave Runzhou and go to another place to take up his post, then it would be much easier to move Ding's family.

　I wish you all a healthy Dragon Boat Festival!
