The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Shen Baoshan and Zheng Qige, who were the leaders, died in front of everyone, and suddenly some officers and soldiers who were planning to follow suit died down. Most of the soldiers didn't know what was going on. To them, it didn't matter who was right, what was important Just don't hurt yourself.

Su Jin knew in his heart that the [-] soldiers deployed in Weizhou had been corrupted, not to mention that there were some remnants of Li Zhihe among them. But I know that this group of officers and soldiers has reached the point where it is impossible to rectify them.

Of course, right now is not the time, the most urgent thing is to stabilize the general's mind as soon as possible, and secretly clean up the remnants of Li Zhihe's placement one by one, and then rectify the military discipline.

Su Jin pulled Ge Huaimin aside and explained things like this, now Ge Huaimin can only obey Su Jin's words, just like he was dragged into the water by Li Zhi, Xu Wei and others before, now that he has boarded Su Jin's boat again, That can only follow Su Jin, and I only hope that Su Jin can really keep his promise and give himself a chance to make a contribution.

The soldiers were led by Ge Huaimin to return to the camp. Su Jin was not idle. He took all the horsemen and took over several brothels that were forced into prostitution, and released the girls from good families who were forced to receive guests here. A black market was also seized, and several other money-making places that Li Zhihe entrusted others to run were also investigated.

That night, the horseshoes in the small city of Weizhou were noisy and noisy, and the people in the city almost stayed up all night. They dragged their thin bodies and listened attentively, not knowing what happened in the city.

When it was dawn, Su Jin dragged his tired body back to the government office. Xia Siling and Xiao Sui'er were frightened all night, and according to Su Jin's instructions, they were also dressed neatly and wrapped up and were ready to follow Su Jin to escape at any time. When Jin returned, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Jin originally only left Wu Hengxin and a dozen government servants to guard the government office, but there was not enough manpower, so he could only send a small number of people to stay behind. He must not accept the challenge, so he hurriedly led the two girls to escape through the back door, and found a secluded place to hide first, waiting for him to escape together with them; fortunately, none of this happened, and this night was not as thrilling as imagined. It can be regarded as taking Li Zhi, Xu Wei and others smoothly.

Xia Siling asked Su Jin to eat something and go to sleep quickly. Su Jin smiled wryly and said, "How can I be so lucky, Sui'er is going to boil a bucket of water, I will take a bath, and make some pastries to eat casually. There are still a lot of food today." Things have to be done quickly, not the time to sleep."

The two had no choice but to get hot water for one, and millet porridge for the other. Su Jin soaked in the wooden barrel for a while, lost his mind for a while, wiped himself off and put on dry clothes, and immediately became refreshed. He just sat down and took a sip. After eating a few pieces of rice porridge, there were already footsteps outside, and a yamen servant came to report: "General Ge has been arranged to tie up a large group of people to ask for an audience."

Su Jin stood up and smiled wryly, "See? Everyone's butts are on fire."

Xia Siling and Xiao Sui'er looked at each other helplessly and sighed, but Su Jin had already got up and left.

On the square outside the yamen lobby, four to fifty people were tied hands and feet and pulled by ropes to kneel on the ground in several rows. Ge Huaimin led a team of soldiers to watch, and saw Su Jin rushing forward to salute.

Su Jin said: "Is everything here?"

Ge Huaimin said: "According to Mr. Su's request, all the Li Zhi and promoted officers I know are here, a total of 46."

Su Jin said: "How is the people in the army?"

Ge Huaimin said: "It's okay, I've explained it and promoted a reliable person to replace him. I, Lao Ge, still have some prestige in the army."

Su Jin nodded and smiled and said: "Good job, General Ge loosened the noose around his neck a little more, I will remember these things for you, and it will be for your benefit when rewards and punishments are discussed in the future place."

Ge Huaimin said hesitantly: "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for not forgetting the previous suspicions. After I went back last night, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. I think I felt ashamed of following Li Zhi and them for doing evil. Now I am naturally happy to abandon the dark and turn to the light."

Su Jin smiled and said: "That's natural. When you're still happy later, you'll know that doing good deeds will make you happier. Follow me later and let's go to Jimin together."

Ge Huaimin cupped his hands and said, "Just follow your lord's orders. What about these people?"

Su Jindao: "They will be taken to the government prison together, and locked up together with the criminals. After finishing the matter at hand, they will be interrogated together to obtain a statement, and then they will be taken to the capital."

Ge Huaimin hurriedly ordered people to cooperate with the yamen guards led by Wu Hengxin to take a group of generals into prison. Su Jin ordered people to immediately post notices throughout the city, and beat gongs to gather the people to come here to receive relief food. The black market food from the city was shipped together.

When the sun just came out, the Fuya square was already crowded with people. Although the common people didn't believe that the government would provide food relief, they rushed here with a glimmer of hope. It was only then that they realized that maybe this time the food was really going to be distributed, and their eyes lit up, looking forward to the upcoming happiness.

Seeing that the crowd was almost here, Su Jin led the crowd onto the temporary wooden stage, bowed his hands to the bustling people below the stage, and said, "My fellow villagers, you are polite."

The crowd fell silent, but there was no response. Many people knew Su Jin and knew that he was the new magistrate, but no one knew what kind of person this seemingly immature magistrate was. After the black market, everyone thought he was an upright official, but a few days ago they heard that the black market was open as usual, and all the people who were arrested were released, and some people went to complain and were kicked out by the magistrate After he came out, he saw Ge Huaimin standing on the stage with him, who was notoriously bad, obviously he was the same as a feather, so everyone didn't talk, and only cared about whether they could really try their luck to get the food.

"Fellow folks, you have suffered, and I apologize to you on behalf of the court." Su Jin said slowly: "I have been in Weizhou for more than ten days, and what I have heard and seen is the tragedy of you all. The situation where wild fruits eat poisonous weeds and sell children and daughters is really an official dereliction of duty, and this official sincerely apologizes to everyone."

There was some commotion in the crowd, and layers of mist appeared in some people's eyes, not because of Su Jin's words, but because they wanted to cry aloud when they remembered the hard days of the past few months.

"But in fact, the imperial court is also innocent. It is not to excuse the imperial court, because as far as I know, the imperial court has not stopped transporting grain to the northwest. Because of money; in fact, you all know this in your heart, who is this person? You can call him by name." Su Jin waved his hand.

People, look at me and look at you, no one dares to call out the first time, for fear of being targeted because of this, and trouble will come to the door after today.

Su Jin secretly sighed, people today and future generations are the same, they all want to be the silent majority who are bullied and oppressed, but no one is willing to stand up and cry out. It was physically created by hunger and disease, and mentally it was extremely depressed.

"Okay, you don't dare to say it, let me tell you that the scum in Weizhou City who corrupted the image of the court officials and sucked the people's fat and people's ointment was wiped out by me last night. He Dazhuang and other seven masterminds involved in the case have been imprisoned by me, and nearly a hundred other generals and gangsters in Weizhou city who cooperated with the crime have all been brought to justice; All the women have returned home, and all other properties involved in the case have been seized. From now on, you don’t have to worry about freezing and starving. The government hereby guarantees that you will be fed and clothed warmly. After the thieves are defeated, you can return to your hometown to farm. Tiandi, I will report to the emperor to exempt taxes for five years. Today, my son is merciful and merciful, and I will definitely respond to my report; all in all, your hard days are over, just like the rising sun, everything will be new start."

Su Jin's voice was passionate, and the undisguised trembling in his words showed the excitement in his heart. The eyes of the people gradually became brighter. After Su Jin's voice fell, someone took the lead in shouting hello. Suddenly, thunderous applause in the square and cheers resounded through the sky. People celebrated with their foreheads and hands, for the most miserable culprit, and for the future life Su Jin described. Their hearts were already lifeless, but at this moment, the flame of hope was ignited again.

Su Jin's eloquence is amazing, these words speak to people's hearts, and people can't ignore them.

Standing aside, Ge Huaimin wished he could plunge into the ground. Only then did he understand why Su Jin told him just now that doing good deeds is more pleasant than anything else. Let the people live in peace, let everyone praise and not curse.

Ge Huaimin suddenly came to the entrance of the stage in three steps and two steps, and stared straight at the cheering crowd. The common people were shocked, this bad guy was still safe and sound, how did the magistrate manage to slip this person out of the net?At the same time, because of Jiwei's photo, seeing Ge Huaimin, the ecstasy in my heart disappeared without a trace, and dropped to freezing point.

To everyone's surprise, Ge Huaimin suddenly took off his shirt, exposed his upper body, his knees softened, and slowly knelt down on the stage, kowtowing to the audience, the sound of "dong dong dong" hitting the wooden platform was like It was a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts. ^-^book()^-^
