Water Margin people

Chapter 75
"Senior official, the second official is not good!"

The next morning, Sun Lei had just woken up and was sitting in the vegetable garden having tea and snacks with Lu Zhishen when he suddenly heard Jin'er's voice.

Jin'er used to call Lin Chong an official, but Lin Chong ranked third after sworn brothers with Sun Lei and Lu Zhishen. Although he still called him an official, there were two more officials.

"What happened?"

Seeing this, Lu Zhishen got up with his Zen stick in his hand. Something must have happened to the Lin family.

"The official... the official was taken away by the head of the Kaifeng Mansion!"

Jin'er said hurriedly.

"Kaifeng Mansion, what's going on?"

Lu Zhishen thought it was Gao Qiu's fault, but it turned out to be Kaifeng Mansion, and the situation was different. If it was Gao Qiu, he must have framed Lin Chong, but if it was Kaifeng Mansion, then it's hard to say what happened.

"Is it because of the knife?"

Sun Lei seemed to have guessed something. Among the yamen that Gao Yamen contacted was Kaifeng Mansion. Although the leaders of Kaifeng Mansion were not high-ranking officials, the officials of the government office had to ask people for evidence to settle the case. Can influence the development of the case.

Gao Qiu, the governor of Kaifeng, can't be bribed. Although he is only a governor, the governor of Kaifeng is not ordinary. During the Song Dynasty, civil officials are more important than military officials. The rank of civil officials is generally lower than that of military officials. In terms of the lowest grade, it is also on the same level as Gao Lian.

Moreover, Kaifeng Prefecture is in charge of the administration, judiciary, household registration, public security, taxation, corvee, etc. of important areas in Gyeonggi.Unlike Gao Qiu, who is a false captain, there are more than a dozen captains in Sanya, most of whom have false titles. Everyone should not see their rights.

"It's okay, I made arrangements yesterday."

Sun Lei was relieved when he heard that, Lin Chong would definitely not commit any crimes, and he was probably arrested for stealing a treasured sword, but what Lin Chong had in hand now was not that treasured sword at all, but a better one. The thief took the dirt, and Kaifeng Mansion probably wouldn't embarrass Lin Chong if there was no dirt.

"It's really coming out again and again, why don't you leave now? Are you stupid?"

Sun Lei sighed and followed Jin'er to the Lin Mansion with Lu Zhishen. Lin Chong was taken away for questioning, the family must be in chaos, Zhang's family must have been terribly frightened, the two elder brothers must go and see.

When they arrived at the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Zhang begged Sun Lei and Lu Zhishen with tears in her eyes to find a way to save Lin Chong. Sun Lei analyzed the matter to Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang was relieved, and quickly sent someone to Kaifeng Mansion to check the situation.

"Ma'am, it's all right, the Lord of Kaifeng Mansion has let the officials go!"

After a while, the servant at home ran back and said happily.

Zhang's hanging heart fell, and then he sat for a while with a face of relief.

"Why hasn't Lin Chong come back yet?"

Seeing that there was no one at the door, Sun Lei frowned and asked, Lin Chong should go back to the house as soon as possible to report his safety.

"On the way, the official met two bureaucrats from Taiwei's mansion. They said that Gao Taiwei misunderstood the official and wanted to apologize to the official. Please go to the mansion to explain."

replied the servant.

"You go to the Taiwei's mansion to send a message. There are still things at home, so let the officials come back earlier."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Sun Lei and Lu Zhishen and said to the servant, she was a little uneasy when she heard Gao Taiwei, and she didn't want Lin Chong and Gao Qiu to have too much interaction. Thank you two brothers for your company.

"Not good! Something happened! This stupid brother has fallen into the trap again!"

Sun Lei suddenly said with a serious face.

"Uncle, the officials will come back soon to accompany you."

Mrs. Zhang thought that Sun Lei was angry with Lin Chong and said hastily.

"Sister-in-law, you should be mentally prepared, I'm afraid my stupid brother won't survive this time!"

Sun Lei shook his head, Lin Chong's company or not is a trivial matter, but if he goes to Gao Qiu's mansion, he will die without life, which is equivalent to entering the Hall of Yama.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

Zhang's complexion changed drastically, and he pulled Sun Lei's arm and asked without regard to etiquette,
"Yan Wang sent a bull-headed horse face to seduce the soul, but he is so stupid to go to the Yan Luo Palace to drink! Do you think he will die this time or who will die?"

Sun Lei sighed and said, he has already saved Lin Chong once, who would have known that this idiot would go to Gao Qiu's mansion, how could he make a living?

"It's not good, Mrs. Lin, your family officials have been arrested again, and put on iron chains. It is said that he broke into the Baihu Festival Hall with a knife out of personal anger, and wanted to assassinate Taiwei Gao!"

A neighbor next door ran into the house and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Zhang's body went limp and passed out, but fortunately, Sun Lei was quick to hold her up.

"Jin'er, help sister-in-law to rest!"

Sun Lei handed over Mrs. Zhang to Jin'er. Now that this has happened, it's useless to worry.

Seeing this, the neighbors who reported the letter turned around and left. It is not easy for any family to suffer such a big change. Lin Chong is the head of the family, and the pillar of the family is now down. The Lin family is afraid that it is over.

"Brother, what should we do? Bringing a knife into the Baihu Festival Hall to assassinate the Taiwei is a capital offense!"

Lu Zhi said with a murderous look on his face, he knew it was Gao Qiu's trick, and with Lin Chong's personality, even if Gao Qiu slapped him in public, he would not dare to go to Baihu Festival Hall to assassinate him.

"What should I do? I know what to do? Prepare to rob the prison. The prison in Kaifeng Mansion should be easy to rob, right?"

Sun Lei spread his hands and said, now the only way to save Lin Chong is to rob prison.

"This... the prison of Kaifeng Mansion... I'm afraid it's... Sigh!"

Lu Zhishen held back for a long time without uttering a word, meaning that he should not even think about robbing the prison, it is impossible to succeed at all.

"Usually you are pretentious, you say how powerful you are, why do you end up like this? You are not like this in Taiyuan Mansion, can't you hit 1?"

Sun Lei rolled his eyes at Lu Zhishen and said.

"This is different. Kaifeng Mansion is not an ordinary government office. Kaifeng Mansion is listed as the three major judicial offices together with Yushitai and Dali Temple. All criminal and prison cases in Tokyo are under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion. Small cases can be adjudicated by themselves, and major Cases can be reported to the emperor in person. If the order has been decided, the Ministry of Punishment and the Yushitai will not hesitate to picket. Although the prison in Kaifeng Mansion is not as good as the sky prison, it is also the most dungeon. It is impossible for the two of us to rob the prison and save people. , I have never heard of anyone who can rob the prison in Kaifeng Mansion in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years."

Lu Zhishen shook his head and explained to Sun Lei.

"Then wait to die, I can't help it."

After hearing what Lu Zhishen said, Sun Lei gave up immediately. He could save people, but he couldn't put himself in it. Anyway, Lin Chong was just a stabbing partner and couldn't die.

"Two uncles, save my official!"

Zhang's mournful voice sounded, and with Jin'er's support, Zhang walked out of the back hall tremblingly, his eyes were already swollen from crying, like two peaches.

"Sister-in-law, sit down first."

Sun Lei saw that Mrs. Zhang was about to kneel down, so he could only say helplessly that he didn't want to take care of this matter at first. Lin Chong is a deadhead. There is no way to save him. He deserves whatever he suffers. It's just pity for Ms. Zhang.

"The matter is already like this, sister-in-law don't need to be sad, I guess that idiot probably won't die, and the Governor of Kaifeng will not really buy Gao Qiu's account, and there is obviously a problem with this matter, I think it will be a stabbing sentence at most thousands of miles."

Sun Lei comforted Mrs. Zhang, Lin Chong would not die, and the governor of Kaifeng government would definitely not be sentenced to death. It was not that the governor was pitiful for Lin Chong. It involved some disputes over official interests. Fu Yin is sentenced to death, so isn't Fu Yin taking orders from Gao Qiu?This is serious!At the same level, I can help you, but how much I help depends on my mood. You still have to owe me a favor.What's more, Gao Qiu is a military official, and Kaifeng Mansion is a civil servant. The civil officials of the Song Dynasty have always worked together to suppress military officials.
