A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

What is a father like?

Zhao Zhongzhen from other families didn't know because his only friend Shen An also lost his father.

But he knew his father very well.

On weekdays, he sits in the room with a pale complexion, and the sun seems unwilling to care about him. I just sat in a quiet and dark place in a daze, and accidentally thought it was a doll...

This is my father in peace.

When the disease comes, the father will go crazy.

Swearing at others is common, and smashing things is even more common.

Sometimes when his condition becomes serious, he will even beat people.

He knew he was making a mistake, but at that moment his eyes were full of pain.

The restless look in Zhao Zhongzhen's eyes could not be forgotten, and he would be frightened when he dreamed about it at midnight.

What he longed for most at that time was that his father could be like a normal person, even with a straight face. As long as he was not in a daze or crazy, then the family would be perfect.

But this wish has never been realized.

But now he saw a peaceful father, a smiling father.

He was in a great mood. He forgot about today's unhappiness, and even said with some excitement: "Dad, I'm a little angry, but I'll be fine tomorrow."

Young people's anger comes and goes quickly.

Zhao Zongshi smiled and said: "The only way to do things is to act vigorously and resolutely. Sometimes you have to check quietly before taking action. This is more reliable. If you can make the opponent underestimate the enemy, it will be more appropriate."

Zhao Zhongzhen said in surprise: "Then is he arrogant to his enemies today?"

Shen An today was like a pig, sleeping so hard that his saliva drooled out, so Zhao Zhongzhen didn't feel like he was arrogant to his enemy.

Zhao Zongshi nodded and said: "The child's father has been thinking about it for a long time. If there is no way to solve the matter, he will not sleep."

He glanced at his son and said, "I asked you to go and see more, see what those low-level officials and strippers are like, and think about it for yourself."

Zhao Zhongzhen responded, and Zhao Zongshi stood up and said: "Your mother has prepared new meals for you, go and eat."

Zhao Zhongzhen responded happily.

This is what a normal child looks like.

Zhao Zongshi was thoughtful. After leaving here, he ordered: "Tomorrow the Shen family will make pot stickers. When you remember, go and get some and send them to the county prince's palace."

The servant said worriedly: "Mr. Lang, I'm afraid that someone will see me gossiping!"

Zhao Yunrang even said that he would sever the relationship between father and son. If you go to deliver something at this time, wouldn't it make his plan fail?

Zhao Zongshi looked at the bright moon, feeling the cold night wind, and said: "Many times... it's best not to think too much. Just do whatever you want. This is the best response."

Zhao Yunrang's method was very clumsy in Zhao Zhen's eyes, but it gave public opinion an explanation.

But Zhao Zongshi was sent breakfast...

Is this going to be impeached?

Impeachment seems unreasonable!

Blood-related father and son, no matter how much you declare that you don’t want this son, it’s useless.

The next morning, Zhao Yunrang's scolding sounded again, and this time it was Zhao Zongshi who was scolded.

"Calling him a shameless beast, he was kicked out of the house and he still gave him potstickers with a smile on his face... it was very unpleasant."

Chen Luo glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen who was lagging behind and felt that he was really pitiful.

The staple food this morning was pot stickers. Shen An said while chewing: "You don't understand. No matter how hard you scold him at this time, he will feel distressed."

Zhao Yunrang used his yells and curses to attract all the firepower to the county prince's palace. Yulin Lane was like a paradise with no one to disturb, giving Zhao Zongshi and his family the final peace and comfort.

Parents sacrifice more for their children. Shen An couldn't help but sigh, thinking of Zhao Yunrang's distressed look while scolding him.

After arriving at Waipao Mawu, Cheng Xu had already arrived.

The people who checked yesterday's accounts are also here.

"When the order comes, there will only be a few coins in and out."

When this place is busy, dozens of dead livestock are processed every day, and there are only a few money in and out of the account. Any yamen in the Song Dynasty can be said to be incorruptible.

Shen An looked at the gathered officials, smiled and asked, "Who?"

The clerk who was about to go back said in shock: "It's Li Yun at the festival level."

"How much? Why?"

There was a smile in Shen An's eyes, and Zhao Zhongzhen felt his heart beat faster, feeling that something was going to happen.

The clerk smiled bitterly and said, "The villain looked carefully and asked questions. They misappropriated it last year, saying it was for food, and then they forgot to make up for it, waiting for an edict. Such things happen everywhere, there are so many of them, and there are only two here. More than three hundred dollars, really..."

Not much really!

There are many people who have large-scale deficits in their accounts. For example, Fan Zhongyan's old friend Teng Zijing is the one who built the Yueyang Tower. This man's deficit was so huge back then that he had no choice but to burn the account books and die without any evidence. As a result, he was exiled to Yuezhou and built the Yueyang Tower.

His motives for embezzling public funds are debatable, but his actions of burning the ledgers left people speechless.

Rebuilding the Yueyang Tower costs a lot of money, but it can also attract some attention, and it is also a cultural event. It kills two birds with one stone...

Spending more than 300 yuan to eat twice, also caused a lot of trouble, which is supposed to be a good thing.

But Shen An showed a ferocious face and shouted: "Get Li Yun!"

Li Yun is a short man. When he heard this, he shouted: "Help..."

Chen Luo rushed over, grabbed him with one hand, turned around and asked, "Lang Jun, how can I kill him?"

Li Yun was so frightened that he almost peed. He shouted: "This is looking down upon people's lives, this is looking down upon people's lives!"

Shen An had killed people in battle before, so Li Yun was so frightened.

"Bring it in!"

Shen An said: "Someone wants to ask questions."

Huang Du, the expert magistrate, said with some embarrassment: "Waiting for the imperial edict, those two dollars are a lot of money..."

What kind of trouble are you trying to make? Just make it up!

Shen An said solemnly: "Don't do evil things because of small things! You shouldn't be greedy for a single penny of public money!"

These words were so righteous and awe-inspiring. If he hadn't known Shen An's nature, Zhao Zhongzhen would have almost believed it.

Cheng Xu said angrily: "Li Yun, how dare you misappropriate it? Fortunately, someone still values ​​you, but you are so... two more! Two more! You must be severely punished!"

Li Yun burst into tears when he heard this: "Yes, the villain is guilty. The villain has failed to live up to your high expectations..."

Is this an admission of guilt?

Shen An looked at Cheng Xu and said approvingly: "You are good."

Cheng Xu smiled bitterly and said: "Although this place is not big, but... you know, being an official is difficult, but doing work is even harder!"

Shen An nodded and then went to check the room.

When he arrived at the check-in room, Li Yun cried and said: "The villain was confused last year and didn't have enough money, so he misappropriated more than two dollars to eat. Later, the villain forgot to make up for it... The villain is guilty."

This is a confession, and the crime is very clear, which is embezzlement...note, it is not corruption, because there is a record in the account.

If it is corruption, then he will do everything possible to hide it.

So this is just embezzlement, and the small amount is laughable.

And it's not just Li Yun who ate this meal... Look at those officials, they all have twinkling eyes.

Zhao Zhongzhen thought it was time to laugh.

But Shen An's face was filled with frost.

He looked outside and Chen Luo said: "Yao Lian, no one is allowed to come near!"

Yao Lian outside responded, and then shouted: "My husband has spoken, please exit."

Shen An then asked: "It was just misappropriation of more than 300 yuan twice. You thought it was a small crime, so you were confident. You are confident that I can't deal with you... right?"

Li Yun raised his head and said blankly: "I'm waiting for the edict, the villain... I'm willing to accept the punishment."

What is the crime of embezzling more than two thousand dollars?

There are countless officials involved in such things. If Li Yun is dealt with, everyone will be in danger.

So Li Yun is indeed very confident.

Zhao Zhongzhen said angrily: "Misappropriation is also a crime."

Li Yun bowed his head and said yes, like meat on a hob.

You say it's a sin?

Shen An didn't say anything. When Zhao Zhongzhen looked over, he realized that he was dozing again.

"Brother Anbei!"

Can you act like you're doing something?

Shen An woke up, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Wait, wait for the news."

wait for news?

Zhao Zhongzhen suppressed the impatience in his heart and waited.

Li Yun stood there very calmly, but after a long time he moved.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking very relaxed, and he even moved his neck...

Then he heard footsteps and saw Shen An opening his eyes.

Shen An stared at him and asked with cold eyes: "Have you said it?"

Li Yun said in astonishment: "Dare I ask what I want the villain to say?"

Do you want to surrender?

But you don’t have the right to impose punishment!

There was still sincerity in his eyes: "As for the edict, I am willing to accept the punishment."

What does it mean to be as slippery as oil? This is it.

Just because you misappropriated more than two thousand dollars, you are going to go online? Come on, try touching me. Then the official circles in the capital will be filled with indignation, and you, Shen An, will become the target of public criticism.

Because you broke the unspoken rules!

Who doesn’t have an emergency?

What's wrong with misappropriating some public funds at this time?

Are you, Shen An, forcing everyone to be saints and gentlemen?

Moreover, Li Yun would only resign because of this, but those people would definitely be willing to provide him with many benefits in order to deal with Shen An afterwards.

This is the plan of the lower-level officials, and it is everywhere.

Ordinary people, you can't fight them at all, and in the end you have to run away in confusion.

"Are you willing to take the blame?"

Shen An asked with a smile. Zhao Zhongzhen felt strange, so he got up and went out to take a look, but Yan Baoyu came, carrying a bag.

He turned around and saw Li Yun holding his hands and saying sincerely: "I am willing to take the blame!"

"Mr. Lang!"

Yan Baoyu came in, put his pocket on the table, opened it, and said, "I found this on the beam in the kitchen of Li Yun's house."

This is an account book.

Shen An then let go, just glanced at it, then raised his head and asked, "Are you willing to accept the crime?"

Li Yun's face turned pale and his body was trembling.

He said in a trembling voice: "Wait for the edict, villain... villain..."

"What crime do you deserve!"

Shen An shouted angrily, and Li Yun's legs went weak and he knelt down.

Such trivial matters are settled within the yamen, who would go to the house to search?

And you don’t have the manpower!

But Shen An was willing, and he also had people, and they were experts.

The money recorded in the account book is not much, a few dozen cash today, a few hundred cash tomorrow...

It doesn't seem like much, but the total amount involved in such a booklet is at least fifty guan. Moreover, it also contains financial transactions with individuals, which can be called a collection of bribery.

Shen An threw the account book to Zhao Zhongzhen, UU Reading www. uukansｈhu.ｎ said: “Do the math.”

The role of mental arithmetic is immediately apparent.

Zhao Zhongzhen wrote with one hand and flipped through the account books with the other. Because the data was not large, he finished it quickly.

"Sixty-three passages and five hundred and seventy-two essays."

Shen An smiled slightly and asked Li Yun again: "Are you willing to accept the crime?"

This is not two counts of more than 300 articles, nor is it misappropriation, but corruption.

Li Yun's face was full of astonishment, and he immediately walked over on his knees, raised his head and whispered: "Waiting for the edict, I am willing to report... I am willing to report..."

"late!"

Shen An took the account book and sneered: "Shen gave you a chance, but you were pretentious... Do you know what I hate most?"

Li Yun shook his head, with a sincere look on his face: "As long as I wait for the imperial edict to say a word, the villain will be the one to receive the imperial edict from now on. As long as the imperial edict orders me, the villain will do it even if I risk my life."

Shen An slapped his face with the account book in his hand, but this humiliating action earned Li Yun a flattering smile.

"Taizhao is very kind to the villain, the villain... ow!"

Shen An knocked him down with one kick and cursed: "I hate pretentious people the most. If you have something to say, just be tough to the end. Don't be timid!"
