Water Margin official

Chapter 79 The fox pretends to be the tiger's power

Emperor Taizu, after the Chenqiao mutiny, wore a yellow robe and took over the Chai family. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin has erected an oath monument, "You shall not kill scholar-bureaucrats or those who write letters."

Successive officials in the Song Dynasty attached great importance to education. Therefore, prisons and camps were set up throughout the territory to educate and educate prisoners.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to improve the criminal system and ease the death penalty, and to alleviate the difficulty of recruiting soldiers and increase the number of soldiers in various places, the imperial court established the law of assigning subordinates.

Except for the heavy-duty prisoners who were sentenced to death, the rest of the prisoners were escorted to serve in local or foreign dungeons and camps. Not only did the prisoners receive the punishment of being stabbed, but some of them were also included in the Xiang army and participated in battlefield fighting. Therefore, these criminals

Also known as "thieves supporting the army".

The prison levels are mainly divided based on geographical distance. For example, the lowest punishment is matched with the lowest prison city. The local prison city is the lowest, followed by neighboring states, followed by five hundred miles, one thousand miles, two thousand miles, three thousand miles.

Guangnan is a far away evil place, and assassinating Salmon Island is the most serious punishment.

At this time, the punishment was usually to be imprisoned in a prison city five hundred miles away; the crime of exile generally referred to the crime of being exiled to a border gate to do hard labor, which was to be imprisoned in a prison city thousands of miles away; and in the military prison city of Yuanhe Prefecture,

He is a felon who has committed the most heinous crimes. He who kills people to the point of death must at least be assassinated in a prison.

The "Anping Village" prison camp in Mengzhou City is such a place.

At this time, there are more than 300 prisoners detained in the "Ping'an Village" prison camp, and the manager's surname is Shi.

"Sir, I just found out that the old Guanying has a son, named 'Jinyan Biao', who has made a good fist and stick. He is a tyrant in this place. There is a building called Happy Forest outside the east gate of this place.

He runs a wine and meat shop in the market, and has dozens of desperadoes under his command, all of whom are prisoners in the prison camp." Lu Xiaoyi told Zhang Zhengdao the news he had learned.

"Golden-eyed Biao showing kindness?" How could Zhang Zhengdao not know this person, but at the moment he couldn't care less about this so-called "small management camp".

According to the old system of the imperial court, when prisoners first arrived at the prison camp, they were given a hundred killing blows as a sign of punishment.

Wu Song had just arrived, and he was an upright and tough guy. I'm afraid he wouldn't know how to deal with the old manager. If he was hit by that hundred-killing stick, he would lose half his life.

The two of them quickly came to the outside of "Anping Village". Lu Xiaoyi stepped forward to talk to the sergeant guarding the gate and gave him a tael of silver. Then the soldier went inside to report.

Not long after, the soldier came out quickly and invited Zhang Zhengdao to come in.

After receiving the money bag handed over by Lu Xiaoyi and leaving him to guard the carriage and horses outside, Zhang Zhengdao followed the soldier into the prison camp.

When he arrived in front of the viewing hall, Zhang Zhengdao raised his eyes and saw a middle-aged scribe with a goatee sitting in the main hall.

Shi Guanying asked: "You are a small official, who is your name? What do you want from me?"

"In Zhang Zhengdao, I met Mr. Guanying in Xiayunzhou." Zhang Zhengdao saluted and smiled.

Zhang Zhengdao did not deal with him, but walked forward a few steps and put the money in his hand on the management desk.

"This is one hundred taels of silver. I just ask my husband to take care of the new prisoner Wu Song."

Shi Guanying stared at the money on the table, his eyes a little deep, thinking to himself.

Zhang Zhengdao knew that it was not safe to spend only money, so he took out a piece of paper from his arms, spread it on the table, and said with a smile: "I also have some connections with Mr. Cai Jing. This is what he said a few days ago."

, the words written below are used to imitate the practice of writing."

Shi Guanying was so frightened that he was so frightened that he lowered his head to take a closer look.

Cai Jing's handwriting is famous all over the world. As a city manager, he also has some eyesight, so he can naturally recognize it.

While Shi Guanying was reading the words carefully, Zhang Zhengdao continued: "Based on the current time, I am afraid that Xianggong Cai has been recalled to Bianjing City by the officials. Can Xianggong Guanying understand the intention?

Shi Guanying was shocked again. Did the officials recall Cai Jing to Bianjing?

Zhang Zhengdao stretched out his right hand, put away the words Cai Jing on the table, put it close to his body, took two steps back, and stood in the hall, standing with his hands behind his back.

Shi Guanying's mind changed and he laughed and said: "Since he is Cai Xianggong's person, I should make it easier for him."

"Come here, summon the new prisoner Wu Song." After Shi Guanying collected the money, he asked people to bring Wu Song.

After a while, five or six soldiers were seen escorting Wu Song into the viewing hall.

Wu Song glanced at Zhang Zhengdao standing aside. Although he was confused, he did not speak to him. He just stood there and looked at Shi Guanying.

"Remove the shackles for the prisoners," Shi Guanying ordered.

A soldier stepped forward and took off the shackles from Wu Song's neck.

Wu Song twisted his neck, his bones made a crisp sound, and he felt much relieved.

Shi Guanying glanced at the chap who came in with him. The chap caught Mr. Guanying's look and thought he was going to beat this ungrateful prisoner.

"You prisoner, do you know the old system of Taizu Wude Emperor?" Cha Bo stared at him and shouted loudly.

Just now he went to the single room where Wu Song was imprisoned. He always thought that the new prisoner was a person who knew current affairs and knew the rules of the prison camp.

Unexpectedly, Wu Song not only did not take the initiative to offer the filial piety, but also said that he only had a pair of fists and feet to send, which made Chapo furious.

Hearing the birdman asking for money, Wu Song laughed and said, "What's the old system? I've never heard of it."

Cha Poyin smiled and said: "Whenever you first arrive to join the army, you must hit a hundred killing sticks."

Wu Song said: "If you want to fight, then fight, no matter how long you are, you will do it."

The officer glanced at Guanying, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he laughed ferociously and said to the five or six soldiers: "Pick up your pocket and beat me hard."

The soldiers stepped forward, ready to pick Wu Song up and beat him.

But Wu Song shouted: "If you hit me, hit me. There is no need to hold me back. If I dodge, I am not a good man. If I cry out in pain, I am not a good man either."

When the officer saw that he dared to speak harshly, he became even more angry.

Wu Song continued: "If the beating is too light, I will not be happy. Please use some strength to loosen the muscles and bones of the master."

At this time, Shi Guanying said: "You prisoner, it's really funny. I'm afraid you might get sick on the way and hurt your head."

Wu Song glared and replied: "You are wrong. Along the way, you will eat meat and wine, and you will have a great time."

Shi Guanying said with a smile: "You guys are quite interesting. I'll just keep this hundred-killing stick in mind until you recover from your illness."

When the officer saw that Guanying had stopped fighting, he was a little confused, but he couldn't ask questions. He just stood aside and waited for Guanying's instructions.

Unexpectedly, Wu Song was really stubborn, and he actually said: "If you hit me, hit me now. You don't need to write it down, so as not to worry about it every day in the future, which will make you irritated."

Shi Guanying was quite speechless. He glanced at Zhang Zhengdao and could only wave his hand and said: "If the Heavenly King Hall in the prison camp lacks a sweeper, I will punish you as a prisoner by going there to burn incense and sweep the floor."

Cha Bo was taken aback, and looked at Guan Ying without knowing why, then at Wu Song, and finally saw Zhang Zhengdao standing in the hall, thoughtfully.

Shi Guanying didn't wait for Wu Song to say anything, and ordered him to be escorted to Tianwang Hall.

"Thank you, Mr. Guanying, for taking care of me. If in the future, the official family grants amnesty to the world, I hope that Mr. Xian can show your noble hand and let Wu Song return home." Zhang Zhengdao bowed his hand.

Shi Guanying said: "I will take care of Xianggong Cai's people. Don't worry about the minor officials."

When Chapiao, who was still in the hall, heard these words, he understood why Guanying didn't kill Wu Song, the new prisoner.

Zhang Zhengdao joked with Shi Guanying for a while, then took out ten taels of silver from his arms and gave it to the chap, asking him to be careful with Wu Song.
