A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 464: A place where cows and horses die.

It had been a long time since he had held a real position, and Shen An was used to being lazy.

After training in the morning, he went to take a shower and came out, lazily preparing for breakfast as usual.

"Mr. Lang, who do you want to follow today?"

Zhuang Laoshi felt that people should have something to do. He was very dissatisfied with Lang Jun's laziness, but he couldn't persuade him.

Only then did Shen An remember that he was going out to skin horses for inspection today, so he said with a straight face: "The people over there are all butchers, let Chen Luo and Yao Lian follow them."

He really didn't want to go, and what kind of corruption could there be in a place like Fima Wuna? It's a small thing when you think about it.

"elder brother!"

Guoguo came out wearing new clothes. She also exercised for a while early in the morning. The skin on her face was white and rosy, and she was very cute.

"What do you want to eat in the morning?"

Shen An's feelings for his sister are very complicated. He may be called a brother, but more often he plays the role of a father.

Guoguo held his sleeve, and the brother and sister went to have breakfast.

"Brother, braised lamb."

Guo Guo wanted to eat this dish. She raised her head and begged, "Is it good?"

"not good!"

Shen An felt that eating this early in the morning was not easy to digest, so he refused.

"elder brother……"

Guoguo was so sad that she couldn't even eat the braised mutton, which showed that her brother didn't care about her anymore.

Looking at the big eyes that were beginning to accumulate tears, Shen An said helplessly: "How about lunch? If you don't eat well in the morning, let Ermei do it at noon."

After coaxing his sister, Shen An ate some mutton buns, drove Zhe Kexing out, and asked him to go to the front office to hang out with those people.

"At least you've become familiar with each other. Maybe you can use these connections when you go out to lead troops in the future."

Shen An has never liked this kind of arrogance, but ideals are ideals and reality is reality. If you don’t have a stomach that doesn’t eat the fireworks of the world, it’s better not to be too aloof.

Zhao Zhongzhen was waiting at the door of his house. When he saw him coming out, he winked and signaled to find an excuse to take him away too.

This kid was recently captured and taught by Zhao Zongshi, but he is used to being free and loose. This time it feels like Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain. That feeling...

"Take care of yourself!"

Shen An gloated over his misfortune, then mounted his horse and drove away. A figure flashed in front of him, and Chen Luo was about to chase after him. Shen An shouted: "Don't go."

He dismounted, threw the reins to Yao Lian, and walked over.

Just ahead, a somewhat familiar figure was walking quickly.

Shen An trotted after him and whispered: "The prince..."

The man stopped, then turned around with a straight face and said, "I've had a bad stomach these days. The doctor said I need to move around more..."

But if you move around, just move around. It's not close to here from the Prince's Mansion. Did you go to the wrong place?

Shen An sniffed, turned around and took a look, then waved his hands, and Chen Luo and Chen Luo stopped.

He turned around again and said, "Lang Jun has been living a very leisurely life recently, and Zhong Zhen is not bad either. He wanted to go out and play just now, but Lang Jun has to teach him something these days..."

"What do you mean by this?"

Zhao Yunrang was wearing casual clothes. If Shen An hadn't been familiar with him, he would never have recognized him just now.

He said with a straight face: "It's time for me to go back. Are you going out to skin horses? Go ahead, go ahead. There are dead cows and horses over there. Just be careful and you'll get poisoned..."

The old guy was worried about Zhao Zongshi's family who had been kicked out, so he took advantage of the early morning when there were few people to take a peek, but was 'caught' on the spot by Shen An, which was a bit embarrassing.

Poisoned?

Shen An's heart tightened, but Zhao Yunrang was about to run away. He quickly suggested: "Prince, how about... come to my house to sit? There are many ladders at home!"

Old Zhao kicked Zhao Zongshi's family out of the house to cooperate with Zhao Zhen's decision, but as he gets older, he misses his children and grandchildren especially.

Yulin Alley is not very wide, and there is no place for him to observe hiddenly, so Shen An's suggestion is timely.

——Go to my house and I will provide you with a free ladder so you can climb the wall and see your children and grandchildren.

Zhao Yunrang was startled for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "That's all."

He slowly turned around and left. There was a guard waiting not far away.

The back figure was very lonely, which made Shen An feel a little sour, so he said, "You can come anytime."

Later, when Zhao Zongshi and his family entered the palace, their identities would be different when they met again.

Zhao Yunrang just shook his head.

He had been a spare tire and knew the pain, so he hoped that his son could become the emperor.

But if he wants to be the emperor, Zhao Zongshi must recognize Zhao Zhen as his father. He cannot interfere, otherwise he will be confused and will trigger a series of changes.

Poor parents in the world!

Shen An shook his head and walked all the way to the west of the city.

The name "Outer Peeling Horse Service" sounds very outdated. After seeing the mottled courtyard wall, Shen An felt that this place looked a bit like a morgue.

There were actually two sergeants guarding the gate, which surprised Shen An.

After verifying their identity, Cheng Xu, the horse racing supervisor, and Huang Du, the expert officer, came to greet them.

Cheng Xu Jian's eyebrows slightly wrinkled and he said sincerely: "People in the foreign affairs department have been panicking recently. We are waiting for the edict to come just in time. We will find out who is corrupt and who is not doing things. After cleaning up, everyone can concentrate on their work."

Huang Du, the expert magistrate, said with a smile: "Yes! I am looking forward to waiting for the edict to come, so that this place where murders are committed can be more civilized."

The yard was very large, with several dead horses lying in the open space, and more than a dozen skinners standing there with their hands tied.

The fishy smell lingered in his nose, and the mutton buns Shen An had just eaten were tumbling in his stomach.

The dead horses looked so emaciated, one of the dead horses' eyeballs had fallen off, and there was a faint rotten smell that made people sick...

"Waiting for the imperial edict, these are sent from all over the capital."

There are countless livestock in various government offices in the capital, and some of them die every day. Naturally, these dead cows and horses cannot be disposed of privately, they must be sent.

This is the meaning of horse stripping business.

"Do it!"

Seeing that Shen An was a little disgusted, Cheng Xu shouted sharply.

Shen An subconsciously touched his waist, but he didn't bring the long knife.

A hand picked up the axe, smiled at Shen Anxian, and then swung it down with all his strength.

puff!

The horse's head fell off, but no blood was seen splattering.

The eyeball popped out suddenly, but it was held by several meridians and hung on the side of the horse's face, swinging back and forth...

Then someone had an abdominal dissection, and those internal organs looked at...

Shen An tried his best to hold back the feeling of nausea, put his hands behind his hands and asked, "That's all there are?"

There are more than ten scalpers here, plus some sergeants.

Cheng Xu glanced at Shen An and said, "Are you going to call them all out?"

Shen An looked at him in surprise and said, "If you don't cry out... what are they doing? Hatching eggs?"

The whole horse skinning business is in the yard, what are those people doing?

Cheng Xu's cheeks trembled and he shouted: "Where are the people? Where are the people? There is someone coming from the court!"

There was a sound of footsteps. Shen An slowly turned around and saw a group of people walking out from behind.

Five...seven...ten...

Without blinking, he counted twelve people.

What do these people do?

"They...are all horse strippers?"

Cheng Xu nodded and said, "Both."

Shen An thought of the homework he had just made up, and said: "I remember that the establishment of horse peeling service has one supervisor, one expert, one hand, one military canon, and two section officials. The rest are Fifteen people from the Peeling Hands... All the Peeling Hands are here, and there are only six people left, but what happened to these twelve people?"

"I've seen the imperial edict."

A group of people saluted and said hello in a chaotic manner.

Cheng Xu whispered: "Waiting for the imperial edict...the imperial court...redundant officials...you know."

"I don't understand!"

Shen An looked at these people with a straight face and his eyes were cold: "Some people said that the people who stripped the horses outside were too busy, and the official ordered someone to come to inspect, and now it turns out it's true!"

Normally, everyone should be flustered, but Shen An expressed panic when he saw these people just lazily cupping their hands.

This is a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water!

According to the current rules, these people have to find a place to settle down. If they can't do the horse stripping work outside, then they have to find another place to do it.

In a word, officials will always give everyone a way to survive, so there is no difference between working and not working.

Shen An immediately guessed the reason.

Cheng Xu said with some embarrassment: "Wai Zhao, these people... are hard to control!"

It’s not that it’s hard to manage, it’s that there is nothing to do.

Those who work are all peeling and cramping in the yard, and the rest have nothing to do. You can't ask them to help, right?

We are all people who have escaped from vulgar taste. You want me to pick up a knife and skin you?

Can't?

"check!"

Shen An just said one word, and more than ten people rushed in behind him.

"Hand over all the account books!"

These are the accounting experts that Shen An got from the Third Division, and Su Yan is among them.

Another young man came over with his head lowered.

"Brother Anbei."

Zhao Zhongzhen came like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

"My father said that it would be good to experience more things, so he forced my younger brother to write an article this morning, and then he kicked me out."

Zhao Zhongzhen looked at everything around him curiously. When he saw the scene of skinning and decomposition, he couldn't help but retched.

Those dead horses were not fresh, and the flesh that had been untangled looked wrong in color.

The stench kept coming, and Zhao Zhongzhen had a pleading look in his eyes.

Let's go in.

The twelve people stood there, also a little impatient.

If it weren't for the rumors that Shen An had just cheated on Liu Zhan, these people would probably start complaining.

It feels so good to have a bad reputation!

For the first time, Shen An felt that being wronged was not bad.

Zhao Zhongzhen's complexion turned pale, and Shen An sighed inwardly and said, "Go, follow them and learn how to dissect cows and horses."

"Brother Anbei..."

Zhao Zhongzhen looked at him in disbelief. This time he was not begging, but angry.

I feel like vomiting just from the smell. You actually asked me to skin and cut the flesh?

Shen An patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's always right for people to experience more things when they are young. Go ahead."

He looked at the officials indifferently and said: "There are as many government officials as there are workers. Who can afford to support one person?"

These words swept in the well-organized Cheng Xu and others, but no one dared to refute.

Shen An put his hands behind his hands and watched the reactions of these people, but unfortunately, he didn't see any shame.

If you are used to eating from a big pot and getting a salary just by hanging out every day, who would be willing to work?

In Shen An's eyes, these people are like zombies, so he will naturally not be polite.

"According to the establishment, those who are not organized, from tomorrow onwards, someone will see the value of your existence, that is to say, you must have something to do in the horse stripping business, if not... Then everyone will go back to his own home and find his own mother. That’s it, let’s break up.”

The third update is here. Happy holiday on Saturday.
