The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Update time: 22--4

Su Jin cupped his hands in all directions, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, these two people are the culprits who attacked the yamen's tolerance yesterday. They escaped in the chaos yesterday. I know that only by capturing these people can the truth be restored to the world, so I and They were captured without giving up their hands, but they took the opportunity to escape, not absconded in fear of crime, but to capture these two people."

"The arrest is handled by the yamen. Why bother you, you meddlesome meddlesome meddler." Song Catcher said suspiciously.

Su Jin glanced at him and said: "If the yamen really arrested them, why bother the grassroots, but unfortunately, these two Shi Shiran lingered in the brothel for several hours, and never saw the yamen's tolerance go to arrest them and bring them to justice; On the contrary, a group of yamen servants went to search, but they turned a blind eye, and the purpose was to search and arrest mere subordinates."

The crowd ransacked again, the meaning of Su Jin's words seemed to be that the yamen deliberately shielded these two people, and they pretended not to see them when they saw them during the search. up.

Tang Jie's expression changed slightly. To show that he had nothing to do with this matter, he yelled at Song: "Song Zheng, is what Su Jin said true?"

Song Butou blushed and said: "This... the sky is dark, the incident happened suddenly, and it's possible that the brothers didn't see their faces clearly."

Another Liu Bantou who couldn't get rid of the relationship also echoed: "Your Majesty, Song Butou is telling the truth. There were so many people and the lights were dim last night. It’s not easy to distinguish. The men over there are all naked, and they look similar, even gods can’t recognize them. If they are wearing clothes, or they can be identified by their clothes, it’s no wonder Song Butou.”

Song Butou glanced at Liu Bantou gratefully, and thought: Old Liu is quick-witted, this reason is acceptable, nothing to say, this matter is over, no matter what, I have to invite him to visit the brothel three or two times.

"Well, it's justifiable to say that, it's not easy to do business, and this government empathizes with you. Don't take other people's slanderous words to heart." Tang Jie went downhill, unwilling to get too entangled in this matter, Once too much is involved, it is inevitable to show one's feet in full view.

Su Jin sneered secretly, but also knew that there was no evidence in this regard, and he couldn't hold on to it, otherwise the possibility of being beaten up would be extremely high, so he said: "I believe that you didn't see your appearance clearly, after all, even the one who can clearly see your appearance is inferior , you haven’t caught it, let alone a stranger who didn’t see his face clearly?”

Regarding Su Jin's irony, Tang Jie, Song Butou, Liu Bantou and others all chose to turn a deaf ear to it.

Teng Wang Zhao Zongdan said impatiently: "Why are you talking irrelevant words here? Are these two people you are taking to be the culprits? Even if they are the culprits, how can you escape the responsibility? The students gathered a crowd to riot, and the fault of one person is the fault of all, and taking these two people will not wash away your crimes."

Tang Jie echoed: "Yes, your lord is right, you are gathering a crowd to riot, the chief culprit must be punished, and the servants are also guilty. Could it be that you think you can prevaricate by arresting two people and passing them in front of the mansion?"

Su Jin said: "That's your idea. I'm not as stupid as you. Just now, the prince said that these two people are students of my Yingtian mansion. Is there any evidence? So what should we do if we put the blame on us?"

King Teng pretended to be stunned and said, "Could it be that these two are not students of Yingtian Mansion? This is really strange."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Even if it is not, it is not a rare thing. Are there few strange things in Yingtian Mansion? Compared with other strange things in Yingtian Mansion, fake students are nothing."

Tang Jie was already extremely annoyed by Su Jin's repeated teasing and sarcasm, but he warned himself that thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at him today, and he must not be provoked by this kid to mess up his position.

"Are these two students of Yingtian Mansion? Or are they the mobs who stormed the Yamen last night? So far, you have not given any explanation. You arrested them at will and messed around here. What is your intention? I want you to explain, otherwise, even before the Great Ancestor takes the throne, the government will take the crime of disrespect and take you as a troublemaker."

"What a righteous Master Tang, if the Taizu in the spirit of heaven knows that there are good officials like you in future generations, he will be very relieved." Su Jin laughed loudly.

"presumptuous……."

"It's rare for the grassroots to be presumptuous in front of your lord, so what if you are here today? There are answers to your questions, and I will explain them to all the fathers, fellow villagers, lords and lords of the government."

"Whether the identities of these two people are students of Yingtian Academy, I don't care if I say it, it doesn't matter if the adults say it, it doesn't matter if they say it themselves, but if one person says it, it definitely matters, and this person is Yingtian. The head of the academy, Qi Shan, Qi Weng has been in charge of the academy for decades, and the years in charge of the academy are older than these two, so his words should be finalized?"

Everyone nodded and said: "Qi Shan has high virtue and prestige, he has been in charge of the academy for decades, so his words naturally have the most right to speak."

Su Jin looked at Tang Jie and waited for his answer, Tang Jie could only say: "Qi Shanzhang's words are naturally the most credible."

"Okay, then let Master Shanda come and identify it carefully." Su Jin clapped his hands, and Ma Han helped an old man out of the crowd. The old man was Qi Shunbin. Su Jin delayed the time because he had already Order Ma Han to ask Qi Shanzhang to come and recognize him.

Although Qi Shunbin was tactful, more than 50 students from the inner court were arrested by the government in two days. This matter has exceeded his tolerance. A big indelible stain on the court is also a big stain on Qi Shunbin's personal reputation; once this matter is convicted, the imperial court will probably take off the plaque bestowed by the emperor, and it is expected that Yingtian Court will never recover. things in.

Qi Shunbin devoted most of his life to the courtyard, which was tantamount to killing him. Su Jin knew his mind, so he sent Ma Han, who could speak a few words, to invite him, and indeed he invited him in one fell swoop.

When Teng Wang Tang Jie and others saw Qi Shunbin's appearance, they were secretly startled: this kid is only 16 years old, he can be so meticulous in planning, control the situation in his own hands, and let his side be restrained everywhere, this is indeed a talent.

Although the two were very annoyed, they couldn't help but admire Su Jin's meticulous arrangement and her watertightness.

Qi Shunbin walked forward tremblingly, first went to the Taizu tablet and kowtowed to salute, then greeted Teng Wang Tangjie, finally came to Su Jin, stared at him and said: "Su Xuezi, the old man has arrived, what you said Where are the two of them, I can go and identify them, if they are really students of our academy, I have failed the emperor's kindness and failed to manage the academy, I should give myself up here and apologize."

Su Jin harbored a trace of guilt in his heart. It can be said that all of this was caused by himself. Otherwise, with the reputation and conduct of Qi Shanzhang, the hospital would develop steadily, but if the stains cannot be washed away at this moment, the glory of the hospital will be gone forever. If he returns, most of the hard work of the old man in front of him will be in vain; the courtyard is Qi Shunbin's spiritual sustenance, without it, Qi Shunbin may not be far away from death, so his words of suicide are not alarmist. But the words from the heart.

"Students are ashamed, Master Shan, please don't blame me. Su Jin will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. The culprit who pretended to be a student of our school, ruined the reputation of our school, and blamed more than [-] of my students is here. Please, Mr. Shan Recognizable."

Su Jin pointed at the two people on the ground, and Qi Shunbin saw two people lying on the side of the mule cart like zongzi, and he didn't pay attention at all just now because of his old eyesight and restlessness.

With Su Jin's support, Qi Shunbin walked to Qian Gousheng and Huang Ergou, squinted his eyes to identify them carefully, and heard the cold voice of King Teng behind him: "Qi Weng, you have to see clearly, don't wrong a good man. .”

Qi Shunbin shook his body, and then said without turning his head: "My lord, don't worry, it is related to the century-old reputation of the academy, and it is related to the reputation of the old man for the rest of his life. The old man will definitely be careful."

Su Jin could hear the grief and indignation in Qi Shunbin's words, and understood that he didn't need to worry about Qi Shunbin's perjury. Qi Shunbin would never destroy his reputation before such big things happened, and a little bit of worry disappeared with Qi Shunbin's words.
