Chapter 10 Killing the Chicken(2/2)
"Wipe the sweat of the two horses, feed them more concentrate, and add two eggs."
Du Bing took out a silver coin and slapped it into the little hand: "Take good care of the horse, and I will reward you with more."
"If something goes wrong, I won't even be able to pay for it if I sell you." The scholar on the side said coldly.
"Okay, sir, don't worry..." The waiter was frightened.
"Rude." Du Bing said displeased: "You are a scholar now, why can't you change your bad habits?"
The waiter turned around and left, muttering something in Jiangnan dialect. Although he didn't understand it, he thought it wasn't a good thing.
"Let's go!" Du Bingbing said, quickly extinguishing his subordinate's anger.
Du Bing took in all the people in the hotel at a glance and chose a table by the window, which was well-ventilated and well-lit and allowed him to see the street scene.
What's more important is that there are several scholars sitting behind this table, speaking in Shanghainese dialect.
Du Bing was originally from the Guards School. He joined the Jinyi Guards a few years ago and served as a hundred households in Yangzhou.
In the early years of Shaowu, because the guards were abolished and turned into counties, two counties were added to the entire Songjiang Prefecture.
One is Jinshan County, which was changed from Jinshan Defenders, and the other is Huangpu County, which was merged with Nanhuizui Central Defenders and Qingcun Central Defenders.
Therefore, there are five counties in the entire Songjiang Prefecture, namely Qingpu, Huangpu, Jinshan, Huating, and Shanghai.
As a person from Songjiang Prefecture, he also understands Shanghai dialect.
Although the public opinion in Shanghai County was fierce, there was calm in the official circles, and the scholars were also very quiet.
However, Jin Yiwei is responsible for monitoring the world's public opinion, and some merchants have already spread the news about Shanghai to Yangzhou, so Jin Yiwei knows about it.
For Jin Yiwei, it was not a big news that a mere child had his legs broken. How could there be no local tyrants and evil gentry in the world?
However, the Jinyi Guard Hundred Household Office, which was responsible for monitoring the entire Songjiang Prefecture, turned a blind eye and did not even go to the Thousand Household Office. They actually let Yangzhou know about it first.
That was all, but as for the fact that the child was born into a slave state, an imperial envoy suddenly came from Yangzhou. He immediately noticed something was wrong and immediately asked the Jinyi Guards to investigate thoroughly.
So, Du Bing and his party went straight to Shanghai County and passed by the Huating Jinyi Guards House.
"Hey, Youyou, that one was beaten badly! You hit me with such a thick bamboo pole."
The merchant at the table behind him gestured with his hands: "Students are rich and valuable. In just a few strokes, the boy's legs were broken. He is still lying on the bed to this day!"
"And the whole family was kicked out and lost their livelihood. How pitiful!"
"Who says it's not the case? The Cheng family is so overbearing, but who allowed them to take advantage of it?"
"After all, he is a domestic servant, and the county government doesn't want to get involved at all..."
"Mr. Cheng usually builds bridges and pave roads, but he is also angry at this guy. He will be fine when his anger subsides."
"Yes, he is usually such a good person, but he must be ignorant and bumped into Mr. Cheng——"
Du Bing frowned when he heard several people talking like this.
Another typical gentry family.
He does all the good deeds in his hometown, but gets a bad reputation in a foreign place.
The merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture are all saying that the Cheng family is greedy, indulges in lawsuits, and has committed countless crimes.
The two of them inquired for a while and then came directly to the Jinyiwei General Banner.
After the death of the foreign enemy, the responsibilities of the Jin Yiwei began to be divided into two parts with that of the Dongchang.
Dongchang is responsible for supervising Beijing and the vassal kings, while Jinyiwei is responsible for world affairs.
Each province has one thousand offices, one prefecture has one hundred offices, and one county is naturally the general banner.
But this is not always the case. There are 1,500 counties in the world and they are too busy to work.
Therefore, those with general flags at the county level are only in Hebei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Beijing and Zhejiang.
Even so, the total number of Jinyiwei has exceeded 50,000, and the annual salary alone consumes one million silver dollars.
If the emperor hadn't been rich, he would have wanted to abolish it long ago.
Du Bing and his two men came to the main banner and asked about the Cheng family affairs.
"Perhaps he is a domestic servant!" the general flag said casually: "Back then, Mr. Xu Huating and Mr. Yan Fenyi fought against Yan Fenyi for decades and never failed. But in the end, his reputation was ruined by such an evil servant?"
"After all, I am a Juren person, so I won't be so imprudent."
When Hai Rui was the governor of Yingtian, he directly confiscated tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land from the Xu family, which attracted the attention of the world. The first assistant to become an official fell into this situation, and even Zhang Juzheng suffered political consequences.
But speaking of it, Xu Jie worked as an official in Beijing all year round, and the evil things in the countryside were basically caused by his servants, and they were not strict in raising their children, which caused this disaster.
However, it was Hai Rui's move that served as a warning to the monkeys, and immediately spread the whipping method in Nanzhili.
Hearing such words, Du Bing couldn't help frowning and immediately cursed: "It's ridiculous. Although Tong Sheng is young, he is also a scholar. How can the Cheng family be innocent of abusing lynching?"
"It's an understatement to take a humble position. Even if Zhao Kui is admitted as a scholar, he is still a child of his own family. As long as his life is not harmed, it is not a serious crime..." Zongqi You explained.
After hearing this, Du Bing angrily said: "I think you just went home to farm."
After saying that, he slapped him directly.
"I came to Shanghai County just to investigate the Cheng family affairs. You are pushing and shoving here, so you must be getting benefits."
"Jin Yiwei accepts bribes, just wait!"
The latter covered his face with panic on his face.
Several guards in royal robes and a dozen strong men on the side were all so panicked that they quickly bowed down and said, "I will listen to Baihu's orders."
"Okay!" Du Bingbing said in a loud voice: "Send someone to the county government office, notify two teams of government officials to come and cooperate, and say that we want to arrest the Jiangyang thief."
"Then take it directly to Cheng's house."
"Yes -" the captain shuddered.
Afterwards, Du Bing led a group of about twenty people directly to the Cheng family.
Cheng Yuan was enjoying the tenderness when he suddenly saw the housekeeper running over: "Master, something serious is going wrong——"
"What's wrong?"
"Your death has come."
Du Bing boldly broke into the house and captured Cheng Yuan directly.
