Chapter 43
"If you want to meet this person, let's go."
Gao Fangping led a large group of people into the Happy Forest. In a corner, he saw a guard room of an officer and a soldier. In the middle was a group of soldiers stationed here drinking and playing.
Gao Fangping frowned and said that there was no sign "A certain county inspection department" hanging outside the class room.
There were many similar towns in the Song Dynasty. After the formation of towns, it could not reach the point of establishing a county. Then the county yamen organized a hall to set up a hall to maintain order and collect taxes, which was called the "Inspectorate Office", which was under the management of the county lieutenant. The inspection department was called the Tushang Army, which was not the Xiang Army or the Imperial Army, but the "Heiqin" organization of the county yamen.
"Yanine, what's wrong with it? It's just a group of local soldiers." Xu Ning said curiously.
Gao Fangping said: "Shien was too greedy for money, no wonder he was dealt with by Jiang Menshen. There was no patrol sign hanging here, but there were local soldiers in charge, which means that the Happy Forest is not in the Song Dynasty, and Shienlian County Government is swallowing black money."
Xu Ning is not surprised, because there are actually quite a lot of such things in the Song Dynasty.
Gao Fangping also felt that let alone the Song Dynasty, there were similar things a thousand years later.
But doing this comes at a price, which leads to the restaurant being snatched by Jiang Menshen and only silently. This is called black eating black. The county magistrate still had a big nose and pressed his mouth, making it inconvenient to say something. So, even though he was a second-generation official, Shi En had to instigate Wu Song to snatch it back instead of going to sue.
Then, in addition to being Jiang Menshen, he was also a member of the Mengzhou Military Control Commission.
If the magistrate really filed taxes according to the rules, how many brains did he dare to fight against the magistrate?
It is indeed that the Duguan officials are older, but the magistrate is a civil servant and a special commissioner from the central government. He found an excuse to kill Zhang Duguan under his jurisdiction and reported nothing, so no one would ask more questions.
But on the other hand, if Zhang Dujian dares to bully the magistrate, all the ministers of the court will definitely make the entire Zhang Dujian die.
Seeing that the large group of people outside stopped, the group of local soldiers in the shift room stopped drinking and came out to patrol with torches.
Raising the torch, seeing such a strong team of horses, the two flags read clearly: The eighth part of the Japanese army, the Transportation Bureau of the Palace Front Office.
They immediately flattered, but they didn't dare to call themselves inspectors.
"This official brother," Xu Ning said to their inspector leader, "We are ordered to escort military funds to Daming Mansion. There are many people and many people in the restaurant. There are many harassement. So we set up camp here, do you think?"
"If you want to do it, the Imperial Guards will do it!" The inspector smiled and patted his chest, but immediately turned his head and ordered his subordinates: "Go and ask the Xiaoguanying Camp Shi En to learn about this."
Next, they did not dare to admit that they were from the inspection department and returned to the class room in a low-key manner.
Xu Ning arranged two heads and ordered them to camp and set up fires to make food and not drink alcohol.
According to the convention, even if the imperial guards do not stay in a restaurant, they still have to enjoy the restaurant's food, but Gao Fangping was reluctant to order that he was not allowed to drink alcohol during the march. This is also an iron rule and must be developed.
Otherwise, there would be so many green forest thieves on the HB road, and half a pound of sweating pills would make the imperial guards fall.
In addition to making meals by themselves, the two cities must also take turns to come in rotation. When one city makes meals, the other city is forbidden to avoid food. When they are full and drink, they will be safe and sound.
This is an iron rule. If the order is violated, the head of Dutou will be cut off by Xu Ning. Then Xu Ning's head will be cut off by Gao Fangping.
This is also the advantage of the Song Dynasty. It is so easy to manage the army. The officers can cut their heads at will. But if they were literati, even if they were just scholars, they would not only see the county master not kneeling, but you really dare not kill him...
After entering the largest restaurant, it was quite lively. Not only did it have various performances of broken stones on the chest, but it also had more popular shadow puppets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
"good!"
After a tattooed muscular man performed a fire-breathing performance, the business travelers below clapped their hands, and many people began to throw copper coins on the stage to reward them.
Gao Fangping also smiled. The gangster on the stage had an impression that he was a gangster in Bianjing first, but later he was beaten by Fu'an and left Bianjing to come here to eat.
In addition, I noticed that a few of the so-called "look at the scene" here are familiar, probably because they were driven out of Bian Jing.
When they saw Fu'an come in and sit down, their faces changed drastically and pretended not to see them.
Fu'an suddenly felt a sense of superiority and slapped the table and said, "Good wine and good meat are ready to come out soon."
The waiter came over and glanced at him with a white brilliance, invited him to sit down, gave Fu'an a blank look, thinking about what kind of cow you are, you are a thief, and you are going to be cleaned up by my shopkeeper Shi Da.
After a while, two large pots of pork piled up like pagodas were lifted out, and Fu'an, Dong Chao and Xue Ba began to eat and drink.
"Even if you eat, I'll treat this meal." Fu'an laughed.
Dong Chao and Xue Ba smiled charmingly and said, "Give me more rewards and cares for you."
Rich people, Fu'an is now considered a rich person.
Of course, Fu'an has money, and money is earned with blood and sweat. In fact, it is not easy for him to cut people on the street. Therefore, he is incomparable to those Liangshan heroes who rely on robbery for a living. He dare not take the order to prescribe "ten kilograms of beef" as soon as he sits down.
The Song Dynasty was not allowed to kill cattle casually. Although there was beef, it was a contraband. Since it was banned, it was of course a sky-high price. It was more expensive than the high-end mutton in Bianjing City. It was really a thief like Chao Gai who would casually dare to rob a cash truck. Who would dare to sit down and drive ten kilograms of beef?
In fact, it is not necessarily possible to rob banks in later generations, but Chao Gai and his gang of robbers took action to grab 100,000 guan. According to the current rice price, the purchasing power is equivalent to 40 million yuan in 2016.
What Gao Fangping couldn't understand the most was that Chao Gai had not taken drugs and was not chasing debts by usury. He was a village chief landlord and life was already very easy for the Song Dynasty. He actually wanted to go out and rob the armored car?
In later generations, there are often some people who always talk about "forcing to Liangshan" and I wonder if someone was deliberately misleading it? In fact, among the Liangshan bandits, Gao Fangping basically did not find a few people who met the elements of "peasant uprisings". They didn't have enough food to take risks. Most of them ran away, avoiding lawsuits, and then slowly gathered in a place like the Golden Triangle to continue killing and setting fires.
After YY was finished, Gao Fangping saw several people coming in.
The leader was a clerk, and he was still a clever man, but he dressed as a scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand. He followed several followers. After a few subordinates whispered beside him, he walked over with a gentle smile and clasped his fists at Gao Fangping and Xu Ning: "In Xia Nai, Shi En, the son of the capital of the Mengzhou Prison City Camp, everyone who respects him calls Xia Jinyan Biao. How dare you ask which imperial guards brothers are they?"
His etiquette was quite comprehensive, but Gao Fangping said rudely: "Oh, do you know the Multiple Imperial Guards?"
Shi En was embarrassed and sued him repeatedly, saying that he had drunk two more drinks before, and he was so speechless.
"Haha, please sit down at Xiaoguan Camp." Gao Fangping asked him to sit down.
Inviting to sit down means you want to have a conversation. Xu Ning then introduced it very sensible: "This is the yamen of the Tokyo Palace Commander, and the official is the Chengwulang."
Shi En's face turned pale. I went there. He liked to make friends with all kinds of heroes, and he was also a little clever and habitual. He heard that the people in the inspection room said that when the imperial guards came, he rushed to meet him. Based on the principle of multiple friends and multiple roads, he also prepared some gifts.
But when he heard that he was a 28-year-old official and the commander of Gaodian, the number one martial official in the Song Dynasty, he was shocked and did not dare to send out the gifts he carried.
If it is normal, at most, the person who comes is a commander. Let's get to know him and make some 20 guan money to prevent them from making trouble in the Happy Forest to affect their business. This little bit of etiquette will be enough. But now he is the handsome young man in the palace. He gives 20 guan to such a noble person. It is hard to say that he will be smashed on the head immediately.
Fortunately, Shi En is also smart, and he has a lot of experience dealing with people from all over the country here. He smiled and said, "Shi En is rude. I really don't know that it was the adults who came here in person today. It's too late today. Let's rest here. I will wait until I can enter Mengzhou City with my younger one tomorrow. My father will have a generous gift."
Gao Fangping was outrageous: "I am a corrupt official with a very big appetite."
Xu Ning almost sprayed out the wine when he heard it. He had never met such a direct and ruthless person.
When encountering such a villain, he is destined to be robbed. Shi En bowed helplessly: "Please tell me the number?"
Gao Fangping stretched out his two fingers and said, "Two draws a hundred times, and I will take them for years. Then I promise that your Shi family will grow bigger and bigger. Otherwise, I will watch the celestial phenomena at night, and you will make money without any brains. There are too many people here, and the backend is not hard. The disaster may be not far away."
Shi En was surprised that this Tai Sui seemed like a playboy, but in fact she had insight.
Not to mention the distance, after the Happy Forest became bigger and stronger, there were indeed many people who were jealous. The Mengzhou Lord had a lot of official reputation, but the soldiers and horses of Mengzhou had long been eyeing the financial path here. In addition, recently, Tokyo has come to Tokyo, and there are more and more gangsters who are active in the Happy Forest. The magistrate set up a patrol room here but did not act here and did not provoke those gangsters at all.
Thinking of Shi En's face, sweating became more and more, and he looked at Gao Fangping in confusion.
"Agree or not. If you don't agree, I will tell my father that you have embezzled tariffs and set up a private inspection department but will not report it. As soon as my father slandered, you will fall." Gao Fangping said loudly with a dark heart.
Shi En jumped up in fear and had never met such a straightforward decay in her life.
Unfortunately, he was so awesome. He and others colluded with the Heyang magistrate to embezzle the imperial tax items. This kind of thing is very common, but it can be big or small. If he was really stabbed by Gao Dians and there was no one in the court, although it was a bit exaggerated to kill everyone, it was the minimum.
"Yanei, please spare me." Shi En is also a talented person and has good acting skills. Just like he bewitched Wu Song, she burst into tears and kneels on the ground to pretend to be pitiful.
