The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Guo Pinchao burst into anger, and shouted loudly: "Pan Jiang, you are so courageous. You actually brought someone to break into my private house in the middle of the night. I think you have eaten the courage of the bear. The update is the fastest"

Pan Jiang clasped his hands and said with a half-smile: "Mr. Judgment, please calm down. I dare not slack off on official duties. If the servants of the expensive house refuse to open the door, I can only break into the door if I am lowly. Please bear with me if I offend you."

"Business? What business came to my house in the middle of the night. If you want to find me, won't you meet me at the yamen tomorrow morning?"

Pan Jiang said hesitantly: "Guo Tongpan, are you really stupid or are you playing hide-and-seek with the humble official here? Okay, since my lord is pretending to be confused, the humble official will tell you clearly, Mr. Guo, you have committed a crime!"

Guo Pinchao shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here."

Pan Jiang waved his hand and said coldly: "Brothers, if you take him, if you resist, Master Su said, you will be shot to death."

All the soldiers in the chamber suddenly agreed, and rushed forward to force Guo Pinchao. Guo Pinchao's face changed drastically, and he said loudly: "What crime did I commit? I am an official ordered by the imperial court. To take me, you must obtain an order from the Ministry of Punishment. What right do you have to arrest me? Where do you place the court's laws? Pan Jiang, you have to think about the consequences."

Pan Jiang Senran said: "If you are in a hurry, please don't be so picky, my lord. How do I know what crime you have committed? The humble job is just to arrest people by the order of the special envoy of grain affairs. If you have anything to say, you and the special envoy Say it."

"Su Jin? How can he take me as a small envoy? How can you soldiers and horses in Yangzhou follow this man's orders? This is exceeding the rules and breaking the law."

Pan Jiang shouted: "Stop being wordy, take it down!"

The soldiers grabbed Guo Pinchao in a hurry, Guo Pinchao struggled and shouted: "I want to see Mr. Fu Zun, I want to see Mr. Road Transfer Envoy, I want to see Your Majesty!"

Pan Jiang sneered and said, "I'm afraid you are going to see Lord Yan, take him away!"

The soldiers grabbed Guo Pinchao by the neck and walked out. Guo Pinchao kicked wildly, causing the several soldiers who were holding his arms to beat him on the head. , but also honest.

Pan Jiang turned around and yelled at the silent Guo family: "Listen to me, I, Pan Jiang, commander of Yangzhou Xiangbing, was ordered by Mr. Su, the special envoy of grain affairs, to arrest the prisoner Guo Pinchao. But you have to stay in the house obediently and wait for the summons, the commander will leave a team of guards guarding the front and back doors, if any of you dare to break in, don't blame the sword for being blind."

After finishing speaking, he led the crowd to rush away with Guo Pinchao on his back. As soon as Pan Jiang left, Guo's house suddenly turned upside down. The fat Mrs. Guo was still undressed, and she screamed in the room with her chest open. Couldn't help it, the boys hurried forward to help the mistress who was sitting on the ground, and didn't care about the difference between men and women, the mistress was the mistress after all, although she was a bit fatter, her chest was really big. Unexpectedly, the boys couldn't help stealing glances when supporting them, and were satisfied when being bumped and touched. As for the catastrophe that happened to the master's family, it's none of my business?

Guo Pinchao was pushed out of the gate of the Guo residence, and a gust of cold wind blew through. The thinly dressed Guo Pinchao couldn't help shivering, and his body began to shiver; but when he glanced at the crowd on the street, his heart was suddenly colder than his body.

Groups of officers and soldiers stood on Dongmen Street, and each group of soldiers grabbed a guy with disheveled clothes and disheveled hair. These guys were all familiar people who couldn't be more familiar. Mr. Si Zhou, all the heads of government departments such as Cang Si and Ti Xue Si, as well as some officials of small departments that he didn't like to see on weekdays, were all standing with their necks crossed and shivering in the cold wind; Guo Pinchao finally understood , things are not good, very bad.

Most of these people live on this street. Although everyone keeps silent, as long as someone moves into the house on the East Street, they all know what's going on. They just pretend to be confused. [-]% of them are caught, and [-] out of [-] will understand what happened.

Guo Pinchao stood on the doorstep with his hips akimbo and shouted loudly: "Has the prisoner leaked anything?"

A few of them put their heads together and went forward to report: "All the prisoners on Dongda Street have been counted, and only one person resisted arrest. The brothers slashed and wounded his abdomen. I don't know if he can hold on."

Guo Pinchao frowned and scolded: "So frizzy? Who is it?"

A captain said: "It was Luo Song, the chief arrester of the yamen, who hid behind the door and shot arrows, wounding our two brothers, and he did it as a last resort."

"Two brothers were injured? Is it serious?" Guo Pinchao asked in surprise.

"Return to Command Your Excellency, if you hurt your calf, it should be fine."

Pan Jiang scolded angrily: "Where is Luo Song? Why don't you cut him a few more times? Don't give him medical treatment. If he survives until tomorrow morning, it will be his fate."

Several heads laughed and said: "Yes, yes, let's see if this kid can still cross Lord Hades."

Pan Jiang waved his hand and said: "Qin Du led 100 people to take the criminals to the prison for strict supervision. No matter who they are, as long as they dare to break into the prison, they will not be soft-hearted. The rest of them will follow me to Nancheng, and we will be done if we take those few; Please remember, anyone who dares to arrest someone like Luo Song will be hacked to death by me like this, how many people are going to die in our job? Keep your spirits up."

All the soldiers agreed in unison, saying nothing else, of course it is not a problem to kill people, and the people who were killed were all these Shangguans who usually walked towards the sky with five people and six people, which made people extra excited.

Guo Pinchao and the others almost peed their pants. It seems that these soldiers and ruffians are really not to be messed with. There were still a few who were cursing and jumping. It's better to get rid of the gang of soldiers, since we've already reached this stage anyway, it's more cost-effective to go to the lobby with the strength to argue than to compete with these soldiers and ruffians.

……

Zhao Dutou and Zhang Long took 150 imperial cavalry and galloped towards Sanli Hutong at Beikou, and when they arrived at Banyue Bridge on North Street, the two decided to split up the troops. Zhang Long took a detour to the north with seventy imperial troops. Dutou went straight forward to block the south entrance three miles from the north entrance.

The sudden sound of horseshoes awakened the sleeping people one after another. The people in Yangzhou were frightened and stood up to watch one after another.

The people in the Sanli Hutong at Beikou were also awakened naturally. The disciples of Longhumen at the entrance of the North and South Alleys were astonished to find war horses neighing indistinctly at the entrance of the alley. They lined up in several lines to firmly block the entrance of the alley.

Master Feng and senior brother Xin Wuneng are not here, and only the second and third senior brothers are in charge. The guarded brothers at the alleys on both sides hurried to report back. The second senior brother Ma Ming'er and the third senior brother Li Manzi were running to the Fugui Building while Feng Jingyao was away. Looking for fun, the two of them were still taking two girls to soak in the hot spring water of Huaqing Pool. North rushed to the entrance of the alley to check.

Ma Minger went to the entrance of the North Hutong. The bandits who worked for so long were not for nothing. One glance at the posture of the officers and soldiers knew that the officers and soldiers blocked the entrance of the alley on purpose. The people shouted, sent someone to watch at the north entrance first, and hurried to the south alley entrance to check.

When they came to Nantou and met Li Laizi, it can be said that the heroes saw the same thing. Both of them knew that the officers and soldiers were blocking the alley. The official road was blocked, and then the army went up to attack along the mountain road. Even if they wanted to escape, they would fall into the trap. Now that the past is coming back, the old things will reappear, naturally they know it well.

"Second Senior Brother, what should we do? These officers and soldiers are clearly here for us, and Master and the others are not here, so you should make up your mind quickly." Li Manizi frowned.

"What are you panicking about? It's not like I haven't seen this posture before. Look at your bear." Ma Ming'er took the opportunity to sarcastically say something to him.

"There are about 80 people at the north entrance, and I think there are only 80 people at the south entrance. There are only 60 to 400 people in total. How many people do we have? More than [-] people, how dare they break in? It's a black light, and that horse is not a cat, isn't it? Can you see at night?" Ma Ming'er said.

"It's true. Judging by their posture, they don't want to rush in. They seem to block us and prevent us from going out. What are they doing?" Li Manizi said.

"What are they doing? Call everyone up and be on guard. When Master Feng comes back, this group of people will have to leave if they don't."

"Why do I think it's not that simple? Master Feng went to Daming Temple to burn incense and didn't come back for a day. This group of people seems to know that Master Feng is not there. Think about it, when will the officers and soldiers dare to block our alley at the third mile of Beikou? There are articles."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Ma Ming'er was told by Li Manzi that his heart was empty. Feng Ye was not around and he had no backbone. If he was asked to judge the other party's intentions, wouldn't that be catching mice and plowing the fields? "

"According to my brother, we need to send someone out to inform Lord Feng. Waiting is not an option."

"Alright, who should I call? Are you going or should I go?"

"Go, you are better than me." Li Manzi said shamelessly.

"Fuck your sister, you usually don't agree with me, but now you say I'm good at martial arts, let's not argue with each other, let Lao Wu go, isn't he just complaining that Master didn't give him a chance to make meritorious deeds? See, the opportunity is right in front of you. "

"That's right, that's it."

The poor fifth junior brother was shot while lying down, and the fifth junior brother who was leading people to watch the movements of the officers and soldiers at Beikou didn't know that he had lived in this world for no longer than a cup of tea.
