Chapter 105 0102 [I want to report to the officials, someone is rebelling! 】

Zhao Ting is very short of money now.

Fang La rebelled, he abandoned the city and fled, causing the city of Hangzhou to be destroyed, and the transfer envoy and Tong sentenced to death.

After Song Huizong learned about it, he was furious.

If it weren't for the ancestral system that stipulated not to kill scholar-bureaucrats, Song Huizong would have ordered Zhao Ting's dog's head to be beheaded immediately.

Zhao Ting also knew that he had caused a catastrophe, so he bribed Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and other ministers to help speak out.

He abruptly abandoned the city and fled, distorting it into the fact that he took the initiative to go out of the city to persuade him to surrender, but Na Fang La took the opportunity to attack the city, which led to the fall of Hangzhou.

However, Zhao Ting also paid a huge price for this. In order to satisfy the appetites of Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and others, he gave away all the money he searched hard in Hangzhou, and even paid 10,000+ Guan, and became a pauper for a while. .

After taking office in Qingzhou, he will naturally want to earn the money back.

It's a pity that with Zhang Shuye watching over Jinan Mansion, Zhao Ting could only restrain his temper, but after more than a year, he only lost more than [-] guan in filial money.

Now, finally waited for the opportunity.

Taking advantage of Wang Fu's collection of personal money, Zhao Ting frantically made money, not caring about the life and death of the people in Qingzhou.

In a short period of time, he has accumulated tens of thousands of guan, but he is still not satisfied.

Right now, he will not miss any chance to make money.

Zhao Ting, the head secretary of Xu in Linzi County, also heard about it, claiming that the pheasants passing by would lose all their feathers. After all these years, he must have accumulated a lot of family property.

So, naturally, he wanted a piece of the pie.

Liu Mi pondered and said: "I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle. Right now, all the bandit leaders in Songshanling have been handed over. There are no witnesses or material evidence, and there is no proof of death. If Chang Yukun is not on the right track, Shi Bao did it by biting him to death. I It’s not easy to force yourself.”

Hearing this, Zhao Ting couldn't help frowning.

While the two were discussing, a man in poor clothes came to the outside of Yidu City.

His name was Li Zhuang, and he was the younger brother of Li Zhu, the capital of Linzi County.

Li Zhuang hated Han Zhen very much. Ever since his elder brother was killed by Han Zhen, his family had plummeted, and his mother also died of illness not long after.Not to mention that Liu Dutou's archers came to make trouble every three days, and later even those muddy hooligans in West Market dared to beat and scold him.

After escaping by chance last night, he saw Han Zhen leading troops into the county government with his own eyes.

Anyway, this Linzi County couldn't stay any longer, so Li Zhuang simply put his mind to it and came to the state government to report to the government.

It was also due to his luck that he did not encounter wild animals or bandits along the way. Later, at dawn, he met a group of traveling merchants on the road.

Seeing that he was pitiful, one of the traveling merchants gave him a ride in an ox cart.

After glancing at the towering city walls of Yidu County, Li Zhuang walked into the city gate in suspense.

Before taking two steps, he was stopped by soldiers on duty at the gate of the city.

A soldier stretched out his hand and said, "Is there any reason?"

Many people may not know that the restrictions on the movement of people in the Northern Song Dynasty were the strictest in all dynasties.

In the Tang Dynasty, when people were hundreds of miles away from their residences, they needed road guides, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, this range was reduced to eighty miles.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the road quotation was used as a proof. If you want to obtain a proof, you need to find the village chief as a guarantor, and then go to the county government to register, explain the reason for going out, and the proof will be issued after the review is passed.

If he didn't return as scheduled, the county government would question the village chief.

Because the head of the village is the sponsor.

It is precisely because of the joint and several responsibilities that village chiefs generally do not recommend them easily, which also leads to great restrictions on the travel of the people.

If there is no way to lead out the door, once caught by government officials, patrol inspectors, etc., they will be treated as robbers and rogues.

Li Zhuang shook his head: "I have no reason."

Ok?
No reason?

Suddenly the eyes of the soldier on duty lit up, he grabbed Li Zhuang by the neck, and said with a smirk, "How dare you, the thief who committed the murder, dare to come back, you really cast yourself into a trap!"

They like to meet people who have no way to guide them. Once they are caught, they can be charged with any crime and then sent to the government to collect rewards.

In their eyes, this kind of person is like a walking copper coin.

Li Zhuang shouted: "I'm not a thief, I'm here to report to the officials!"

"Hmph, how dare you resist arrest!"

Another soldier didn't care so much, he rushed up and punched the man in the stomach.

This time, Li Zhuang shrank into a prawn in pain, and could not stop howling.

After the two soldiers summoned their colleagues to cover the errand, they escorted him from left to right to the government office.

On the way, seeing Li Zhuang showing signs of struggling, the two soldiers punched him a few more times.

All the way to the government office, the office worker on duty saw him and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

A soldier said with a smile: "I'm lucky today, I picked up a Qian Ding'er!"

Qian Ding'er is a slang word between them, it is specially used to describe people like Li Zhuang who have no guides.

"What a piece of shit luck."

The yamen servant curled his lips with envy.

At this moment, Li Zhuang felt that the pain in his stomach was relieved, and he suddenly raised his head and shouted, "I'm here to report to the police, someone rebelled!"

rebel!

The yamen servant suddenly got excited, and scolded: "You should think carefully, rebellion is a big matter, if you dare to lie, you will not be lightly forgiven!"

Li Zhuang seemed to have grasped at straws, and shook his head quickly: "It's not a lie, it's not a lie, someone really rebelled."

The yamen servant looked him up and down, seeing that although he was in a mess, he was dressed decently, so he believed him a little.

This time it was the turn of the two soldiers to be dumbfounded, the duck that reached its beak flew away.

However, it was about such a major issue as rebellion, so they didn't dare to mess around, so they had to let go of Li Zhuang.

"You come in with me."

Such a major event as rebellion is not something that a small yamen servant can get involved in.

Leading Li Zhuang, he first found the team leader, and after the team leader learned about it, he went to the capital office... After going around all the way, he was finally reported to Zhao Ting by the screener.

"rebel?"

Zhao Ting's hand holding the wine glass trembled.

Ever since he experienced Fang La's rebellion, he couldn't hear these two words, and every time he heard them, he felt panicked.

Liu Mi was also taken aback. After the two looked at each other, Zhao Ting ordered, "Take me to the lobby first, and I will come later."

After tidying up their court clothes, the two hurried to the lobby.

Sitting behind the desk, Zhao Ting said loudly, "Who are you?"

The man replied timidly, "My name is Li Zhuang, a native of Linzi County, and my brother used to be the head of the county government."

Linzi County?
Hearing these three words, Zhao Ting and Liu Mi's eyes lit up, and they immediately regained their spirits.

"Who rebelled?"

"I don't know, Xu is Han Er, a rogue in the county." Li Zhu shook his head, his tone a little uncertain.

Zhao Ting suddenly became angry: "I didn't know you came to report to the officials? How dare you entertain the mansion, come here, drag someone out and beat him twenty sticks!"

Li Zhu panicked, and hurriedly wailed: "Master Zhifu, forgive me, but with all my courage, I dare not entertain him."

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhu poured beans into a bamboo tube, and told the whole story of what he saw and heard last night.

After listening, Zhao Ting asked some more details, and Li Zhuang answered them one by one.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ting turned his head and asked, "Have you received a copy from Linzi County today?"

"Never!"

Liu Mi shook her head.

Zhao Ting's eyes flickered, and he pretended to be shocked and said: "There is a rebellion under the rule, and such a big thing dares to be concealed, what does Chang Yukun want to do?"

He knew very well in his heart that there were indeed farmers who rebelled and even entered the county town, but it wasn't that rogue Han Er.

But that Chang Yukun is also not clean, and even secretly colluded with the bandits!

After exchanging glances with Liu Mi, Zhao Ting glanced at Li Zhuang, who was frightened below him, and waved his hands: "The government has already known about this matter, so you can step back."

But Li Zhuang didn't leave immediately, and said timidly: "Master Zhifu, I have made meritorious deeds in exposing, can I get a reward?"

"Lead him to get the consistent reward."

Zhao Ting gave instructions to the screener.

After they left, Liu Mi said with a strange expression: "This Chang Yukun is really courageous."

"What do you think?" Zhao Ting asked.

Liu Mi pondered and said: "Not to mention that the rebellion has been put down, we can't get any credit. Even if we can get it, at most we can have a drink of soup."

"That's it."

Zhao Ting nodded.

Chang Yukun chose not to report the information, which means that the credit cannot be obtained.

Even if Chang Yukun is punished for the crime of colluding with bandits, at most it will add a meritorious service.

"It's better to use this to take advantage of Chang Yukun and ruthlessly..."

As Liu Mi said, he made a gesture of making money.

Seeing this, Zhao Ting stroked his beard lightly and said, "It's exactly what I want!"

One of the two of them prefected the prefecture, and the other presided over the judge. After learning that the magistrate under his jurisdiction had colluded with the bandits, his first reaction was not to think about handling the case, but to take the opportunity to make money.

It's outrageous!
It can be seen from a glimpse of the leopard in the tube, which shows how corrupt the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty were.
