There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 75 I Can't Keep Up With The Rhythm
Early the next morning, Lian Jin took a bath again and put on brand new clothes.

After breakfast, he took a small package and walked outside the county government office.

Two yamen servants stepped forward and were about to intercept him, when Lian Jin put the burden in front of him, and revealed the imperial court's appointment document: "I am the new magistrate of this county, please go and inform the staff of the county yamen as soon as possible, and see you in the main hall." I."

The new magistrate?

So fast?
The Yacha was at a loss, so he ran to call for someone.

With the appointment document to open the way, Lian Jin walked all the way to the county government hall, under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, took out the official uniform from the package, and changed into this 'green' official uniform.

After the change of Lian Jin, all the public officials in the county government came together, waiting aside, looking at the new county lord, not daring to show their air.

How many days is it?

Counting from the day when Luo Xianzun died violently, today is only the third day, and the court has appointed a new county magistrate?
Lian Jin handed over the letter of appointment to the county master and asked him to read out the appointment. After the reading, Lian Jin officially took over the post of county magistrate in Xiangcheng County.

Since Luo Xianzun is dead, Lian Jin will no longer read the Luozhi County's document of retiring and returning to his hometown. After thinking about it, he will ask his own staff to submit the matters to be dealt with in the county in the past two days, as well as the county. A simple narration of several major and minor matters.

Here, I wrote another job description document and sent it to Liang County to the prefect of Ruzhou.

At noon, after a hasty lunch, Lian Jin, as the county magistrate of Xiangcheng County and the former magistrate's death case, visited the Department of Prisons and Prisons of Yingchang Mansion, and then met Zheng Ci in the magistrate's office.

Both of them belonged to Prince Zhao Heng's faction. On behalf of the prince, Lian Jin expressed condolences to Zheng Ci for his hard work.Only then did Lian Jin bring up the case of Luo Xianzun.

Zheng Ci seriously told Lian Jin the causes and details of the two cases.

Lian Jin told Zheng Ci some information that he had secretly investigated in the past two days, and when the two things matched, he found that there were many details that were not correct, and many places could not stand scrutiny.

Immediately, Zheng Ci ordered Zhen Duan to review the truth of some details.

As Zheng Rong's competitor and rival, Zhen Duan worked very hard after receiving the order.

Until the evening, Zhen Duan came back with the results.

Although Zhen Duan worked very hard, the information he could find was limited. Even this limited information brought light to the whole matter.

Among them, the brotherhood of Zheng Ba and Zheng Rong was found out.

When the tragedy happened in Jiangdian Town, Zheng Rong and Zhang You, a small official, went to Jiangdian Town.

Zheng Ci ordered Zhen Duan to bring the petty official Zhang You over for questioning. Seeing that Zhang You was ambiguous, Zheng Ci angrily ordered Zhen Duan to interrogate him directly. How could Zhen Duan let this defeat go? Chance for Zheng Cihe to go left?
Zhang You couldn't survive the torture, and under the interrogation, he confessed everything.

Zhen Duan was full of joy, and handed over the result to Zheng Ci with a smile on his face.

After Lian Jin glanced at the result, he knew that his goal had been achieved, so he got up and said goodbye.

When he left, he turned around and added: "These two people, I personally suggest you, why don't you leave it to the one in Rufen Town, maybe it will have an unexpected effect."

……

At dawn the next day, a government servant rode a fast horse to Rufen Town. When everyone was extremely nervous, he just delivered a letter to Li Chu's small courtyard, and then rode away.

What's the situation, the yamen didn't arrest Li Chu?
Li Chu looked at the letter in his hand and was a little dazed.

what's the situation?
Axiu quickly snatched the letter from Li Chu's hand and opened it. She couldn't read the characters and couldn't understand after reading it for a long time, so she handed the letter to Yang Kang and asked Yang Kang to read it to her.

When Yang Kang finished reading the contents of the letter, Li Chu was overwhelmed.

Even Axiu had an expression of disbelief.

Yesterday, she still couldn't stop the news, so that Axiu heard the rumor about Li Chu from nowhere. Last night, Axiu was worried, so she hugged Li Chu tightly all night.

The content of the letter roughly stated that this person who called himself Lian Jin was the new county lord. He felt that there were many strange things in these two incidents, so he spent money and connections to directly get through the relationship with the prison secretary. , let the official Zheng Ci re-investigate the case in detail, and the final result is that Li Chu has nothing to do, and he was praised for killing the bullies who attacked the officers and soldiers.

Then, the two villains who framed Li Chu, Zheng Rong and Zhang You, had already been dismissed from their positions by the Criminal Division, convicted, and committed suicide in fear of crime in the Prison Division's prison.

However, this suicide in fear of guilt was an official announcement by the government, but in fact they were secretly sent to Li Chu for his disposal. Now, the two have already set off from Yingchang Mansion.

At the end of the letter, the Lian Xianzun said that he had paid a great price for this matter, and hoped that Li Chu would send five thousand guan silver to his mansion in the past two days.

Five thousand!
Li Chu didn't know what to say.

At this moment, he is a big fool.

For a while, he didn't even turn the corner.

This side is struggling to plan to rebel to preserve it. As a result, this matter is like a change in the past, and the change is too fast. One moment, I was still worried about my family, but the next moment, nothing happened, the wind calmed down, and the sky turned blue. up.

Five thousand guan, this County Lord Lian is so damn cruel in asking for it.

Not only ruthless, but also very unscrupulous, if you want to be aboveboard, if you want Hongguoguo, if you want Li Chu, there is no way to refuse it!

"This money..."

Axiu looked at Li Chu, not knowing what to do.

Give, must give!
If it is really as stated in the letter, Zheng Rong and Zhang You will be sent over to Li Chu to deal with it. Regardless of whether this matter is due to the hard work of the Lian County Lord, this letter alone, Li There is no way not to give it at the beginning.

The sudden death of Luo Xianzun made Li Chu realize his own shortcomings.

Li Chu really lacked someone who could speak for him in the officialdom. This Lian County Venerable threw an olive branch at him, and Li Chu had no choice but to hold back.

Five thousand guan, but the request is a bit ruthless. It is estimated that Lian Xianzun is probably a greedy person. From now on, it seems that he has to keep a certain distance from him, neither too far nor too close, so as not to be missed by him.

It doesn't matter, anyway, Zheng Ba's family property was looted, five thousand guan, it's a trivial matter.

This matter should be regarded as a deal. With [-] guan, you don't have to rebel, and you buy the time for early development. When Li Chu wakes up, no one can threaten him anymore.

Speaking of it, if this is the case, I am afraid that Li Chu has to thank the Lian County Lord for his kindness in this matter.

After all, with Li Chu's current political situation, it is not something that can be done with 5000 taels.

Two hours later, the escorts from Yingchang Mansion also arrived, and escorted Zheng Rong and Zhang You to Li Chu.

The two were dressed in white prison uniforms, were wearing shackles and anklets, and were forced to kneel at Li Chu's feet.

Zhang You's face was ashen.

Zheng Rong, on the other hand, was resentful, and stared at Li Chu viciously. His mouth had been smashed during the interrogation in the Criminal Division, and he couldn't speak. shoot.

"Thanks to the four brothers who sent them all the way, but I have to trouble the four brothers, help me escort these two to a place at the end of the town?"

Li Chu said with a smile on his face, and at the same time, he took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his sleeve and gave it to one of the yamen servants.

"It's easy to say, and you don't have to be polite, Commander Li."

He took the silver ingot, weighed it, and the yacha's teeth were exposed when he smiled.

Note: There were no high-level officials with real power in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the omnipotence of high-ranking officials was divided into three parts, and Xing Prison Division occupied one part.Zheng Ci's position is equivalent to the director of the provincial public security department and the mayor of a prefecture-level city.

The school lieutenants such as Zheng Rong are not military school lieutenants, but equivalent to the chief and deputy chief of the Houshi Provincial Public Security Department, and their rights are divided among four people.But it can't compare with the head of the Provincial Public Security Bureau in the future city, and the status is not even one-third of the head of the team.The school lieutenant of the Xing Prison Division is afraid of people in the officialdom and some magistrates who have no status, but people with backgrounds will not bird him.

In the article, Lian Jin didn't use his position as the county magistrate to get rid of it, but Zheng Ci, the director of the Public Security Department, got rid of it through the power of the prince.
