The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 379

When Zhao Xu saw Miao Fengchun's governor, he seemed to be determined. It seemed that he was going to punish him. It seemed that he wanted to add to his political achievements.

He remembered a story about Kaifeng Fu Yin from later generations, but the protagonist of this story, some said it was Zhao Kuangyin and some said it was Zhao Guangyi.

Here Zhao Xu thought it might be Zhao Guangyi, because Zhao Kuangyin would not kill people casually.

The story goes like this: On this day in Kaifeng, the capital city, a bloody case happened, and a beggar died.

On this day, a beggar came to a shop to beg, and when he was not satisfied, he began to curse.

Such a beggar here will definitely affect his business, the owner of the shop hastily apologized, hoping to get rid of this god of plague as soon as possible.

At that time, the beggar still didn't buy it and became more presumptuous, still uttering obscenities, and gradually the crowd surrounded him.

The gatekeeper is not here to watch the excitement, but to condemn this unreasonable beggar, the crowd is excited.

This beggar is pitiful, but there are several beggars who are not pitiful, but there is another saying that a poor person must have something to hate.

Seeing that so many people paid attention to him, the beggar felt great satisfaction in his heart, and scolded him even more vigorously.

At this time, a young man suddenly jumped out from the side, stabbed the man to death with a single knife, then dropped the knife and left directly.

Someone under the Son of Heaven intentionally killed someone, and there were so many witnesses, the Governor of Kaifeng did not dare to hide it.

When he went to court the next day, he immediately went to the court. At this time, the royal family was Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Guangyi was furious when he heard it.

The majestic capital of the Song Dynasty actually murdered people in the capital in broad daylight, I will investigate strictly, if you can't catch the murderer, you will be punished.

The governor of Kaifeng was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat when he heard it. If he can't find out, he will punish himself, so how dare he not try his best.

But where to check this, the young man had already run away without a trace. In desperation, he had no choice but to arrest the owner of the shop and torture him.

The shopkeeper who couldn't survive the torture admitted that he killed the beggar because he was angry, and he had the murder weapon and the confession.

Fu Yin quickly presented the confession to Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Guangyi said happily:
"Aiqing is very attentive to this case, which is good. However, human life is at stake, you'd better review it again, don't wrong a good person. Remember, bring the murder weapon with you next time you come."

Within a few days, Fu Yin brought the murderer's confession and murder weapon together.Zhao Guangyi asked: "Is the review clear?"

Fu Yin replied: "I found out." Zhao Guangyi said to the little eunuch beside him: "Go, get my scabbard."

The little eunuch immediately brought a scabbard, inserted the murder weapon into the scabbard, and it fit perfectly.Fu Yin was dumbfounded.

This was originally Zhao Guangyi's knife, and the young man was Zhao Guangyi, saying: "How can you not kill a good person in vain if you handle the case like this.

"I've heard for a long time that your Kaifeng prefect, Cao Jian, and the people saw it today, and it really deserves your reputation. You, the prefect, should stop doing it, and replace it with a capable person."

Although this was just a story passed down from generation to generation, Zhao Xu now believed that it might have happened.

Because he is experiencing such a thing now, and he has just walked out of Bianjing City not far away.

Since Kaifeng is like this, let alone other mansions, it seems that the situation must be very serious.

"My lord is so sure that I'm a gangster, so I'm not a good person anyway?"

Zhao Xu never let Miao Fengchun see his face, otherwise Miao Fengchun would not have dared to talk to him like this.

"Let me tell you the truth, the government is now thoroughly investigating all crimes within its jurisdiction, so you are unlucky enough to run into this government, so it's your own bad luck."

Miao Fengchun was very excited, he didn't expect to meet such a person when he just came out, no matter whether he is or not, he will always make him a heinous case.

In this way, I can have an extra political achievement. Doesn't it mean that there are a few thieves who haven't been found yet? It's him.

He still wants to talk, but the government will definitely not give him a chance to talk. He can't escape the reputation of Jiang Yang's thief.

As for the woman he rescued, he, the Governor of Kaifeng, could easily settle this trivial matter.

"Go and bring him to the ancestral hall in the village. The official is going to convict him in court, and everyone should get out of the way." After thinking about it, Miao Fengchun took Zhao Xu directly to the ancestral hall in the village.

This was the place to settle major issues in the village. Now that he said he was going to take Zhao Xu to judge other people in court, he didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, Zhao Xu must have made up his mind that Miao Fengchun's official position could no longer be allowed to him. This was dereliction of duty.

It seems that it is time to investigate all local officials across the country. If this is the case, Song Dynasty will be corrupted by them sooner or later.

The thief king who came inside to prove to Zhao Xu had not yet come out of the room, and Zhao Xu had already been taken away.

A table has long been set up beside the ancestral hall, temporarily serving as a public case table, with only a gavel on it.

Zhao Xu was brought over like a prisoner, but they couldn't make Zhao Xu kneel down no matter what.

"The prisoner, Anonymous, is Li Song, a Jiangyang bandit. He has already proved his identity with convincing evidence. Our government has sentenced him to beheading, and he will execute it immediately after this government reports to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Damn, I've never seen anything like this before. Is this called a trial? This is called a verdict. This guy who committed an unjust, false and wrongful case also needs to have evidence. This guy was sentenced to death directly.

It's really awesome. This is the first time Zhao Xu has seen such a person. He really regards himself as the boss here.

"Hahaha Miao Fengchun, do you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand here? You really ignore the laws of my Great Song Dynasty. Is this what he taught you when you follow King Jin?"

Zhao Xu suddenly burst into laughter. Did such an official take the wrong medicine? There are still many villagers watching around here?
Besides, it is very close to Kaifeng City, so he is not afraid of being known by the emperor, or is he confident?

Hearing that the person in front of him actually knows his name, and more importantly, he still knows King Jin, who is this person, he can't be a son of some family, right?

"How come Mr. Miao, even I, a gangster like me, can't come out. The emperor doesn't care if I let you be the governor for a few more days."

Zhao Xu had already raised his head, but there was no smile on his face. Instead, there was anger and coldness, and he looked very angry.

When Miao Fengchun saw this person's face, his head thumped, he didn't know anything, his legs became weak involuntarily, and he knelt down on the ground, this time he kicked the iron board.
