Chapter 968 The Desperate Qin Hui and the Peasant Children from Xiangzhou

"stop!"

"Run! Run!"

"Fleeers, kill without mercy... shoot arrows!!"

"Ah—" "Don't kill the little one, tell the little one, tell the little one!"

When the Kuaiban archers of the government office shot directly, one by one the fleeing thieves turned into corpses and fell to the ground. The people on the street avoided them skillfully and let out applause.

Since Yan Ting launched a new round of action against bullies, the first batch of unlucky people are the powerful servants and evil slaves.

No matter how favored the servants were in the Tang Dynasty, they were still servants.

And they know a lot of evil deeds of their masters, so they are more open-minded, so they can get better evidence and arrest them first.

Compared to the clapping and applause of the common people, Qin Hui's wife, Wang Shi, covered her face with a scarf and hurried along the side of the street, averting her eyes, not daring to look at that scene at all.

Fortunately, there were not many thieves who escaped to the street in this way, and most of them were arrested on the spot. Afterwards, it was a peaceful journey to the Yamen.

She looked around vigilantly, followed a group of women who were also covered with scarves, 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 portrait of the wanted man, which is very vividly painted, and a treacherous spirit emerges vividly on the paper.

The crime is short and straightforward: "Yin and captives, defecting to the enemy and traitorous country, forgetting the ancestors, the crime is heinous!"

Next to Qin Hui, there is also Wang's name: "his wife, Wang, was born in a famous family, and she is in the same class, and her crime is unforgivable!"

Wang's body trembled a bit, the only thing she was thankful for was that she didn't have a portrait.

It is true that there will not be, because the women who go to the street all cover their faces with scarves, and there are very few who show their true faces, so it is useless to paint them.

The reason why the Wang family is listed on it is so that when they are arrested, they cannot be escaped as a woman.

In addition to Qin Hui and his wife, even Wan Qixi was on the list. They were still accused of collusion, and the portraits also depicted features, which made Wang secretly afraid. The court investigation was too clear. Can they really escape?
At this moment, a clear voice came from the announcement not far away:

"The imperial court thoroughly investigates bullies, and it will never be perfunctory. Anyone who reports a crime and is true will be recorded in the record, and family members will be given preferential treatment when they enroll in the army;"

"However, if you fabricate things that don't exist due to personal grievances, once you find out, you will be punished for the same crime. If you falsely accuse others of any crime, you will also receive the same punishment. Remember, everyone, don't make a big mistake because of a mistake in one thought;"

"The review of criminals will be conducted by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the three divisions. Gongsun Zhao, the doctor of Yushi, used to be a magistrate in Kaifeng. Rest assured, folks and elders!"

This is the officials reading the "Yan Law Shuyi" aloud. At present, it is emphatically emphasized that while reporting evil deeds, it is not allowed to deliberately slander and frame for rewards.

The people who gathered to listen were very cautious at first, after all, the Zhao and Song courts said one thing and did another thing too much.

What's more, whether it is evidence or false accusation, no one can tell whether the law enforcers will give a fair trial. If they collude with the local gentry and bite them back, wouldn't it be the end of the game?

But when they heard that the law enforcer this time was Gongsun Zhao, everyone immediately felt amnesty.

"It's Gongsun Yanluo, Gongsun Yanluo is back, what kind of official is Doctor Yushi?"

"It's the biggest official in Yushitai, all speech officials are under his control, no longer afraid of being harmed by dog ​​officials!"

"Your Majesty's sage! Your Majesty's sage!"

Compared with Gao Qingtian, who was famous for helping Yan Yun recover, and was later imprisoned for unwarranted crimes to make the world injustice, Ding Run's reputation is for killing dogs, and he is most convinced by the army and the world. Gongsun Zhao's reputation is in the eight In the years of judge career, the foundation is the most solid when gathered bit by bit.

Just like Bao Zheng in the past, "If you don't have joints, there is Yan Luo Baolao". popular support.

Different people enforce the law, and the effect they bring is completely different. Everyone immediately rushed towards the place where the Ministry of Punishments reported, and the officials kept shouting: "One by one! One by one! Don't worry!"

People from all over the country gathered in the capital, and through their reports to determine the general scope, and then went to the local area for further investigation, and finally found out all the bullies who were doing evil in the powerful landlords.

This is undoubtedly a huge project, but it is precisely when the regime is changing and the new regime is at its peak of authority that these carrion can be quickly scraped out.

After a period of time, the carrion will re-grow with the new body, covered under the skin, so it cannot be seen from the outside, and it will be extremely difficult to move again.

"Brother Gongsun, a man of hard work, has come forward, this world is finally different!"

Among the Dali Temple officials who were also present at this time, a courtier in a green robe smiled. It was Qiu Yuzuo, the former assistant of Gongsun Zhao.

Now he is the prime minister of Dali Temple, thinking of Gongsun Zhao being wanted, he was disheartened and spent his days in a daze, and in less than ten years, the dynasty has changed and the world has changed, he can't help but feel deeply.

But looking around, Qiu Sicheng felt that the woman's expression was a little strange.

"not good!"

Wang Shi was gnashing her teeth at first, but she was extremely keen. When she realized that she was being noticed, she immediately forced herself to calm down, looked around curiously like other women, and sometimes talked in a low voice.

Qiu Sicheng stared at her eyes for a moment, not wanting to be rude, and then moved away. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, walked with the flow of people, waited until it was far away, and then left quickly, and finally almost fled in a hurry.

This time I came out to see the reaction of the imperial court. After being on the most wanted list and being followed again, Wang didn't dare to wander around anymore. The Wang family went all the way back to the Tonghui River.

Tonghui River is the official name of this section of the canal in Yanjing. At this time, waterworkers by the wharf are shouting and sweating to carry goods. Due to the construction of the capital, waterworkers have become the most-increased type of work recently, and the wharf is also a part of the city. The place where the management is relatively chaotic, there is a constant flow of boats every day, going south and north, and there are all kinds of people.

Dressed plainly like a peasant woman, Wang came to a boat and jumped on it.

The curtain was lifted, and Wan Qixie showed half of his face. Seeing that it was her, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister-in-law, come in quickly!"

Qin Hui was reclining in the cabin, his face was pale, there was a wound on his waist, and there was a faint smell of blood: "How?"

Wang said in a low voice: "The imperial court's arrest notice has been issued, those Jin people must have been caught, you are all here, and the name of the servant's family is also listed on it..."

Qin Hui sighed: "It's not unexpected...it's not unexpected..."

Before the incident of Shanhaiguan scholars defecting to the enemy happened, Qin Hui persuaded Wanyan Po Luhuo to change the location and disperse secretly.

The reason is simple, this time the scholar-bureaucrats going north is not the end, it is just the beginning, and it will take a long time.

Although Wanyan Po Luhuo looked down on this method of harming her compatriots more and more, she gradually relied on it and chose to believe in Qin Hui's arrangement.

With this arrangement, the Jin man entered, but Qin Hui and his wife had a hard time escaping. During the arrest process, the Jin warriors fought back brazenly and attracted most of the firepower. Qin Hui and his wife took the opportunity to escape through the dog's hole and came here.

Now that he heard that all three of them were listed on the wanted notice of the new court for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, his facial features twisted, and he took a deep breath and said, "Brother Wancheng, it's us and my wife who got you into trouble..."

Wan Qixi actually hated Qin Hui and his wife to the bone, and he couldn't hide his hatred in his tone. He simply said: "Brother Qin, please don't say such words. It is the king of Yan who values ​​martial arts and despises literature. He wants to reproduce the chaotic politics of the Five Dynasties and don't give us a Confucian way of life." !"

Qin Hui sighed: "We have all been used by the King of Yan. He must have wanted to attack the scholars a long time ago, but he has no excuses. Now he is taking advantage of the situation to attack. What a tyrant!"

The Wang family said bitterly: "The imperial court is so bloodthirsty, how can it be the way to govern the country? Just wait and see, there will be wars everywhere next, and the gentry and powerful will not sit still!"

Wan Qixi was more concerned about how to get out, and suggested: "I have contacted several scholars before, all of whom had official positions in the previous dynasty. , people from Fucheng, Hebei, the two of them have an old relationship with Liu Yanqing, the general of the Western Army, and they also intend to invest money, or they can send us out of the country."

Qin Hui wondered, "Why did these two people invest money?"

Wan Qixie said: "They are all Jinshi during Zhezong's reign. They had a bright future, but they were dismissed by the officials.

Qin Hui thought about it, and said slowly: "After the Shanhaiguan incident, the border guards must be tighter. It is too dangerous to leave the country now... Let's do the opposite, how about going south to the Han family of Xiangzhou?"

Wan Qixi was puzzled: "Han family? Brother Qin, don't you want them to miss their old love?"

Qin Hui shook his head: "I have been in close contact with the Han family before. If I was caught in the Han family, they would have nothing to say. As long as I handle it well, they will help me cover it up! After this period of time, the limelight will pass. , let’s see how the Kingdom of Jin is doing, if those Jurchens can gain a firm foothold in the North, it won’t be too late to join them!”

Wan Qixi pondered for a while, but felt reasonable: "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 ache: "Then ask Brother Wancheng to help our couple..."

Wan Qixi knew that he really wanted to seek refuge with the Jin man, so he had to come forward, so he could only get out of the cabin and ordered his servants to set off, and soon the boat sailed out of the Tonghui River and headed south.

When they arrived at Daming Mansion, they boarded the carriage and bumped all the way. Qin Hui didn't dare to treat his wounds to the doctor, and had two bouts of fever.

This day the carriage stopped slowly, and there were voices outside. He woke up in a daze, and called softly, "Madam! Madam!"

Mrs. Wang quickly came in, showing joy: "Fulang, you finally woke up! Come... drink water and eat!"

After eating the food, Qin Hui regained some energy: "Where is this?"

Wang said in a low voice: "We have already arrived in Xiangzhou. In Tangyin County, we are trying to find a way to contact Han..."

Qin Hui warned: "Be careful, the Han family has a century-old foundation here, and we must be careful not to be 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 open, but Qin Hui didn't feel the slightest emotion. , falling in front of a house not far away.

A sturdy peasant boy looked over curiously.
