Chapter 532 The Old Headlines of Jiangning Mansion

Liu Qing died. He was stabbed in the neck with a knife and his neck was torn open. Before he fell down, his neck was hung to the side.

When the body fell to the ground, the head rolled twice on the ground, and the torn area was stretched and deformed, and the white trachea that had been cut could be seen.

The others dispersed and tried to escape.

He jumped into the Qinhuai River, but was shot dead on the spot by a crossbow arrow.

No one can escape.

In the most prosperous area of ​​Jiangning, more than a hundred people were killed like chickens and ducks.

All the restaurants immediately did one thing: closed the doors!

After the killing, the imperial troops did not stop, as if nothing happened, they quickly advanced towards the prefect's Yamen.

When the imperial army arrived at the magistrate's Yamen, there was still a group of people surrounding the gate of the Magistrate's Yamen.

When those people saw the Forbidden Army coming, they all looked surprised.

Zhai Jin shouted loudly: "Everyone will be dismissed, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"

"Who are you! How dare you act so arrogant here!" A bookish man rushed over, walked up to Zhai Jin, pointed at him and yelled curses.

"That's it! A group of Qiuba! Have you seen what we have in our hands? The tablet of Saint Kong! Do you dare to do it? If you do it today, you will be blaspheming the saint..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhai Jin drew his sword and struck him on the neck.

The man's expression condensed, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhai Jin in disbelief.

Everyone else opened their mouths.

Zhai Jin casually pulled the knife back, and the man fell to the ground with blood flowing all over the floor.

After everyone reacted, Zhai Jin said: "Kill!"

At this time, Chen Bangguang was still enjoying a good life in the prefect's Yamen.

He smiled and said: "The imperial court will soon send people to appease the dissatisfied people in Jiangning Mansion, and I will write a letter of apology, and this matter will be over."

Fellow magistrate Wang Hai said: "Prefect Chen, with the matter now raging, will the court compromise?"

"Your Majesty has no second choice. The bigger the matter gets, the more the court has to weigh it, and the more it will compromise, do you understand?"

"Then...then the court won't blame you, the prefect, for not doing your job well?"

"Blame me?" Chen Bangguang chuckled, "I would like to bite back some traitorous ministers who have been bewitching His Majesty all day long to think about restructuring! They are the ones who forced Jiangning Mansion to become like this. Who is responsible?

"

Wang Hai gave a thumbs up: "High! It's really high!"

He picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Chen Bangguang, with a flattering smile on his face: "After this incident, your prestige, prefect, will definitely be higher in Jiangning Prefecture, and also higher in Jiangdong. Maybe it will be promoted."

Chen Bangguang burst out laughing: "We are preparing to collect the autumn tax at the end of this month. Let me tell you, this year the imperial court will have a war on the northern route, and the transportation route is long, so it is necessary to increase consumption. Is this reasonable? Take the opportunity to find more of those mud-legged people.

I want some! If we make them anxious, the court will not dare to touch us!"

"Yes, yes!" Wang Hai raised his wine glass, "It's better to follow Magistrate Chen to have meat to eat..."

Just when the two were chatting happily, a voice came from outside.

Chen Bangguang frowned and said impatiently: "What is the sound?"

At this time, an official from outside hurried in: "Prefect Chen! It's not good! Something big has happened!"

"Why are you panicking?"

"Outside...outside..."

"What's going on outside?"

"There's a fight outside. I don't know where a troop came from, killing people outside!"

"Kill someone?" Chen Bangguang suddenly stood up.

"Yes...those people are still wearing armor..."

There were more and more screams outside.

"In armor?"

"yes!"

Chen Bangguang looked at Wang Hai and said, "Go out and take a look..."

Wang Hai was a little scared and hesitated: "Prefect, lower official..."

"Go quickly! What are you afraid of? You know the same thing! Go quickly!"

When Wang Hai squirmed out, a large number of people were already dead outside.

Wang Hai had never seen such a scene before. He was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

Zhai Jin walked to the gate surrounded by soldiers and looked at Wang Hai: "I am the new Jiangdong Economic Envoy. Who is your Excellency?"

"Jing Lue...Jing Lue Envoy..." Wang Hai looked confused, "The lower official is Wang Hai, a colleague of Jiangning Mansion."

When Zhai Jin walked into the prefect's Yamen, Chen Bangguang was hiding behind him and was caught out.

Chen Bangguang breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that it was the new economic envoy and not a rebel.

"I am under the command of Chen Bangguang, the prefect of Jiangning."

"This is Zhai Shuai." Liu Fen said.

Chen Bangguang looked at Zhai Jin and saw that Zhai Jin was tall and rugged. He could tell he was a warrior, so he asked, "May I ask why Commander Zhai is called a commander?"

Adjutant Liu Fen scolded: "How dare you! Zhai Shuai is the Jiangdong economic envoy appointed by the imperial court and is in charge of Jiangdong's military affairs. You, a small prefect, dare to speak to Zhai Shuai in such a tone!"

Chen Bangguang looked disdainful and said: "I have heard for a long time that the north respects martial arts and warriors are quite honorable. That is because the imperial court needs those warriors to defend the enemy in the north, but this is the south. The south still has the fine traditions of the Song Dynasty and the nobles.

Wu Qing."

"So you dare not take the manager seriously!" Liu Fen stared at Chen Bangguang.

"Hmph!" Chen Bangguang snorted coldly and glanced at Zhai Jin, "You said he is an economic envoy, which means he is an economic envoy? Why have we never received a notification from the court that there is an economic envoy in Jiangdong?"

Liu Fen said: "The incident happened suddenly, and the notice from the imperial court is still on the way."

"Then there is much more to talk about. Let's wait until the court reports it and then we can talk about it!"

Liu Fen was furious: "You!"

Chen Bangguang shook his sleeves and walked out.

After he went out, he saw corpses everywhere at the door of the prefect's Yamen. He was so frightened that his legs weakened, and then he sneered: "The manager dared to kill people in Jiangning when he first arrived, and he still killed so many people. I would like to see his experience."

Can you still sit down in the position you are in?"

That colleague Wang Hai dared to come out: "Prefect Chen, where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going to Caosi. I'm going to join forces with Lu Sicao and Zhang Sixian, the prison chief, to impeach this new Commander Zhai. He dares to do such nonsense in Jiangning Mansion. Look at all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

How will you see him, how will everyone in the world see him!"

Saying that, Chen Bangguang laughed loudly, ordered people to prepare the carriages and horses, and headed to Caosi.

Of course, Chen Bangguang was right. No official in the Song Dynasty, even if the prime minister came, had the right to kill people.

This is not a border and we are not managing an army.

The army pays attention to military law, but civil law and criminal law have their own systems.

There was a strict process for judicial killings in the Song Dynasty.

This set of procedures maintains order in the world. If someone destroys this set of procedures and kills people at will, the world will be in chaos.

Even in the Zhao Guan family, sufficient reasons and irrefutable evidence must be found to kill people.

In layman's terms, this is called procedural justice, and it is a rule that maintains the stability of human society.
