The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty
Chapter 537 The Great Reversal
Everyone was stunned by Su Jin's words. The soldiers and yamen servants never thought that following the orders of the magistrate would have such serious consequences. In the words of this lord Su, it was tantamount to rioting.
It's one thing to be ordered to perform official duties, but it's another matter if you make a mess; the idea of rebellion and rebellion is something you can't even think about. The prefect really kept everyone in the dark and led them to the cliff If you jumped to be buried with him, this kind of practice would be too yin.
There was a death-like silence, and the silence meant suspicion. How could Zhu Shiyong not understand this, and if he let Su Jin continue to bewitch him, the situation would be out of control.
"This mansion is the magistrate of Luzhou. The little thief Su Jin is just talking nonsense when he is about to die. What can he say at this time? My mansion has been an official for many years and is loyal to the court. How could he rebel and conspire as he said? Rebellion? What he said are all lies to scare you. Where did the [-] forbidden troops come from? The forbidden troops are stationed near the capital, and the emperor's permission is needed to transfer them. In order to hunt down the death row prisoner who escaped from Xishan, after this person is captured, Luzhou will be restored to order, and the matter will be truthfully reported to the imperial court, don’t be fooled by him, you can’t bear the fate of disobeying orders.”
Su Jin scolded angrily: "You still deny the matter until now, and you are still loyal? How do you explain the matter of Heiqi? How do you explain the matter of Chen Laogen? The fugitive escaped from the west mountain outside the city, how could he come to the city to wait again?" Are you here to arrest them? As for whether the imperial army will come or not, it is not up to you. The imperial court has long ago dispatched [-] imperial troops to set up road cards in various state capitals in order to cooperate with the food affairs. Your fox tail has been exposed, and I can't retract it, no matter how much you deny it at this time, it will be useless."
Zhu Shiyong roared: "Light on fire, light on fire, burn them all to death!"
The soldiers looked at each other, but none of them wanted to be the first to go forward to light the fire; Zhu Shiyong's eyes almost popped out, and he grabbed Chen Erwang beside him and shouted: "Hurry up and light the fire, what are you doing in a daze? Are you disobedient?"
Chen Erwang said in a trembling voice: "My lord... This... Could it be... Could it be that we capture them alive, so that we can find out the whereabouts of the fugitives?"
Knowing that Chen Erwang was suspicious, Zhu Shiyong grabbed his collar and stared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "This is...an order! Are you going or not?"
Chen Erwang said with a sad face: "My lord... Can someone else light the fire?"
Zhu Shiyong sneered, waved his hand and slashed at Chen Erwang's face, cutting Chen Erwang's big face obliquely in half. . .
"Chen Erwang's disobedience is disrespectful, and anyone who dares to disobey orders will end up in the same fate when dealt with by military law." Zhu Shiyong shouted.
The soldiers were in an uproar, and the magistrate was obviously a little crazy. In the blink of an eye, he had personally killed Commander Yang and the capital Chen Erwang, and seemed to have no hesitation about the consequences; It is a general who slashes and kills with a knife. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to find out and convict him, and then execute him; like Zhu Shiyong, he slashed and killed for a disagreement, which is already a thousand miles away.
Su Jin said loudly: "Did you see it? This is the person who jumped over the wall in a hurry. He knew he would die, so he didn't take your life as his life; don't you understand?"
All the soldiers were completely in a state of desperation. On one side was the magistrate who obeyed his orders, and on the other was the eloquent food envoy. They didn't know which side to stand on.
Zhu Shiyong's eyes wandered among the soldiers and government servants who were as dumb as clay sculptures, his eyes were like thorns, and every time he passed by a person, that person's body would visibly shake, for fear of being selected by Zhu Shiyong.
Zhu Shiyong's gaze stayed on a figure covering his face with a straw in his arms, and he shouted in a muffled voice: "Liu Cangsi. (."
Liu Dalang wanted to cry without tears, cursed in his heart, I even covered my face with straw, you old dog still chose me, cao. Nainai of eighteen generations of your ancestors!
"The humble job... the humble job is here!"
"Go and light the fire." Zhu Shiyong said coldly.
"This... I feel that... there seems to be not enough firewood, and I am afraid that the fire will not be able to burn."
"Shut up, even you dare to disobey my order?" Zhu Shiyong slowly raised the blood-dripping steel knife and approached Liu Dalang slowly.
"A lowly job... How dare a lowly job!" Liu Dalang was terrified, put down the firewood quickly, reached out to take the torch from the soldier next to him, and walked towards the pile of firewood step by step.
Ten steps away from the pile of firewood, Su Jin winked, Wang Chao pulled out a dagger from his waist, raised his hand, and a cold light flew by, the dagger hit the burning part of the torch, and sparks flew all over the place. The ashes flew around, and the fly ash scattered on Liu Dalang's head, face and neck, making him scream and jump wildly, but the torch was not extinguished and it was still burning brightly. Liu Dalang only needed to raise his hand to throw it, and the whole hall was destroyed. will be a sea of fire.
Su Jin said: "Liu Cangsi, I'm thinking of my old friend. If you and I hadn't met each other, this dagger would have been your throat. Are you really obsessed with it? The relationship between you and Zhu Shiyong really thinks it's a miracle. Unknowingly? Do you know Sun Xiaoliu?"
Liu Dalang was taken aback. Sun Xiaoliu was a jailer when he was the head of the prison in the state capital; he hadn't contacted the original guards for a long time after he was promoted, but he didn't know why Su Jin mentioned this person.
"I'll just tell you two names. You can figure out the rest. The first name is Sun Xiaoliu, and the second name is Angkor Wukor. If you are smart enough, you will naturally understand what's in between. Contact; if you want people not to know, you have to do it yourself."
Su Jin's words hit Liu Dalang's heart like a heavy hammer. Liu Dalang is not a fool. Sun Xiaoliu and himself are both jailers. On the night when he went to strangle Wukor Angkor by himself, Sun Xiaoliu was on duty in the cell. Sun Xiaoliu was snoring like thunder when he was doing some wine and meat; but when he came out, Sun Xiaoliu was nowhere to be found; when he found him later, he reasoned that he had gone to pee, and he was a little flustered at the time and didn't think much about it Now that I think about it, Sun Xiaoliu's expression is quite unnatural.
Since Su Jin mentioned Sun Xiaoliu's name, it is obvious that he must have tricked something out of Sun Xiaoliu's mouth. The scene of killing Wukor Angkor by himself fell into Sun Xiaoliu's eyes, and Su Jin did not like it. All this is well understood.
"Liu Cangsi, although Su knew about your deeds, he didn't make it public. Today you have only two options. One is to rebel with Zhu Shiyong, burn me to death, and then be punished by the imperial army. Kill the whole family; the second way is to get lost immediately and return. I know that you were ordered by others to do it. People mentioned it; even if it is leaked later, the merits and demerits will not be a capital punishment."
Liu Dalang originally intended that Su Jin should not be allowed to live no matter what today, but suddenly Su Jin gave him two easy choices, as long as he is not a fool, he will naturally weigh which option is the best.
Just like a glutton who has been hungry for three days and three nights, the first choice is like a delicacy smeared with highly poisonous food. The picture is fast for a while, and then it must be a terrible death; while the second choice is a delicacy. A bowl of clean white rice is not very delicious, but it is safe and secure.
The wonderful thing about Su Jinmiao is that he didn't make false promises of prosperity and wealth. As soon as he said such words, Liu Dalang would definitely doubt Su Jin's motives; Su Jin just said to save his life. Although it sounds not very attractive, it is the most realistic a promise of.
"Liu Dalang, what are you hesitating about? Do you want to die if you don't throw the torch?" Zhu Shiyong shouted violently.
Liu Dalang bowed his head and said nothing, stretched out his hand and threw the torch on the ground, turned around and said, "My lord, please find someone else, Master Su is my acquaintance, I can't bear to do it."
Zhu Shiyong scolded angrily: "What did you say? Do you think you still have a way out? You killed Wukor Angkor with your own hands. The eternal iron law is that the murderer pays with his life. Do you think you can escape?"
Liu Dalang changed his face and said: "My lord, since you said this in public regardless of my life or death, don't blame the humble job for shaking you off; it's true that Wukor Angkor was killed by me, but it was all forced by you." I did it, brothers, what Master Su said was accurate, Zhu Shiyong ordered Hei Qi and others to kill Qin Dalang to silence him, and ordered Wukor Angkor to forge a suicide note on the body to blame Master Su; later Master Bao found out, Zhu Zhifu lured Wukor Angkor to confess that he did everything, and ordered me to hang Wukor Angkor in prison after taking a false confession; Zhu Shiyong is a beast in clothes, don’t trust him anymore, or you will be dragged down to death by him "<Lei Gungun rolled over the heads of the crowd, blasting the stunned people into a state of scorching, if Su Jin's words are not credible, Liu Dalang, the deputy warehouse official who is an official of the yamen, will definitely tell this secret. It was absolutely true; everyone could see that Su Jin and the others were dying. Under such circumstances, Liu Dalang could not turn his back on Su Jin and speak for Su Jin. The only reason was that what Su Jin said was true, and Liu Dalang realized If you follow Zhu Shiyong, you will die without a place to die, so you tell the truth.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhu Shiyong, with surprise and fear in their eyes. This Zhu Zhifu is not as abiding by the law as he advertised, and he is really doing dirty things of killing and silencing people secretly.
After this incident was confirmed, it seemed that Su Jin's collaborating with the bandits was certainly groundless.
Su Jin could finally let out a sigh of relief, with cold sweat swishing down his back and weakness all over his body; he understood that the most dangerous time had passed.
It's one thing to be ordered to perform official duties, but it's another matter if you make a mess; the idea of rebellion and rebellion is something you can't even think about. The prefect really kept everyone in the dark and led them to the cliff If you jumped to be buried with him, this kind of practice would be too yin.
