Sitting on the bronze chariot sedan, listening to the ditty, and with countless people watching around the street, the eldest son of Song Dynasty had a rare experience of being in the government office.
Alas, this damn privilege is so corrosive to one's will.
So when he arrived in front of the magistrate's office, Song Xuan didn't even bother to get off the bronze chariot and sedan chair, and casually glanced at Wang Baihu and others.
"How did things go?"
Wang Baihu said first: "Back to your lord! The situation is under control. The general judge Zhao An has led the city guards to surrender and is now being detained. Do you want to see him?"
Song Xuan frowned, "Only the judge was arrested? Where is the prefect? Did he run away?"
"Sir, the prefect is not in the city. He went to the prefectural city some time ago. As for when he will return, we don't know yet."
Song Xuan nodded, "Bring Zhao An here, I will ask him a few words!"
Wang Baihu immediately accepted the order and waved to the Yamen.
Soon, Sima Wei dragged Zhao An out with his trembling legs.
"Sir, Tongjian Zhao An was captured by Pindao himself!"
"oh?"
Song Xuan smiled playfully, "You have a good relationship with him?"
Sima Wei hurriedly said: "I dare not hide it from your lord, Pindao has known him for many years.
This person is not a capable minister. He hides whenever possible. He is not the type to ask for help from the people, but he has not done anything evil.
The reason why the city guards were mobilized beyond the rules this time was to help the poor man stand out. I hope you can give him a chance to live! "
Song Xuan smiled and said, "Opportunities are all earned by oneself. Zhao Tongpan, you should understand what I said, right?"
Zhao An breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Sir, the minister has reported that the prefect Zheng Qian intends to rebel!"
"Is there any evidence?"
"have!"
Song Xuan glanced at Sima Wei, who was standing aside, looking at his nose and mouth, as if he hadn't heard anything, and felt interesting in his heart.
This old Taoist is an interesting person.
In order to save his friend, he planned to sacrifice Zheng Qian, the prefect.
At that moment, he ordered Wang Baihu, and a dozen guards in black clothes followed Zhao An to the official residence where the prefect was located. Not long after, everyone hurried back.
Wang Baihu came to Song Xuan and whispered: "Sir, hundreds of items such as crossbows and armors were found. In addition, a large number of silver notes, land deeds, gold leaves, and silver winter melons were also found. wait.
As for gold, silver, jade, antiques and other valuable items, there are countless. "
Song Xuan waved his hands and said, "Tell me the important point!"
Wang Baihu immediately understood in his heart that it seemed that the supervisor did not take notice of these wealth.
Also, he was a top official from the imperial capital, and he was also a great master of the time. With Master Song's power, money, women, etc., he probably lacked the most.
"Sir, in the secret room of Zheng Qian's residence, I found the dragon robe, as well as treasonous letterheads such as 'Heaven is dead and Huang Tian should stand'. The handwriting has been verified, and it is indeed Zheng Qian's handwriting."
Song Xuan glanced at Zhao An, "This guy is good. He has collected all the evidence in such a short period of time. He even collected all the letterheads indicating that the prefect colluded with various forces to rebel. He is quite capable."
Apart from anything else, it is not an easy task to create a dragon robe in a short period of time.
"Suppress it and put them all in jail first!"
Patting Wang Baihu on the shoulder, Song Xuan warned: "Prepare and complete the evidence so that Zheng Qian's charge of rebellion can be proven to me. There should be no mistakes."
"As for Zhao An, he has been reported successfully and will be detained separately for the time being. Remember to record a confession!"
"I accept my order from my humble position!"
Wang Baihu was extremely excited.
He raided the magistrate's office and solved a major treason case. This was a great achievement!
In the future, whether it is promotion in rank or fighting for a position of real power in Xuanyi Guard, it will be a proper qualification!
"grown ups!"
Next to Wang Baihu, the younger Baihu who had previously said that he would accept the Qingcheng faction as a subsidiary force spoke up again.
Song Xuan had a very good impression of him and said with a smile: "Just tell me if you have anything to do!"
"Sir, interrogation does not require too many manpower. Brothers are also idle when they are idle. The prefect Zheng Qian has colluded with many evil forces in Sichuan and Chongqing and intends to rebel. Why don't you humble your position and lead people to clean them all up?"
Song Xuan looked him up and down. This young man was very proactive.
I just have to write the words 'I want to make progress' on my face.
Song Xuan liked subordinates who were young, willing to make progress, and full of thoughts of making contributions.
If his subordinates work more, he, the boss, will be able to relax. If everyone can have such ideas and work hard, he will be able to fish and paddle with peace of mind in the future when he takes over the position of commander.
"what's your name?"
The young man looked happy, and immediately bowed and said: "Sir, I have a humble position, Dong Tianbao!"
"Dong Tianbao?"
Song Xuan felt that this name seemed somewhat impressive, "I see that you have traces of Shaolin martial arts on your body. Are you from Shaolin?"
Dong Tianbao said: "Sir, I used to practice martial arts in the Songshan Shaolin Temple when I was young. I am a Shaolin lay monk."
When he said this, Song Xuan immediately reacted,
Isn't Dong Tianbao the villain in the movie Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng?
Song Xuan looked at him carefully. Not to mention, this man had a slight resemblance to the one in the movie.
"Do you have a good brother named Zhang Junbao?"
"Zhang Junbao?"
Dong Tianbao recalled it carefully and shook his head with regret, "Sir, I don't know Zhang Junbao in this humble position."
Song Xuan hummed, not surprised.
After all, the Zhou Dynasty was a fusion of various martial arts worlds. Zhang Sanfeng in this world was already over a hundred years old, so there would naturally be no overlap with Dong Tianbao, who looked to be in his thirties.
"Sir, what do you think of the suggestion I just made?"
Song Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Since you have an idea, then do it!
It is one of our Xuanyi Guards' responsibilities to crack down on crime and restore a stable living environment to the people!
I have only one request: seek truth from facts!
The evil forces that harm the people will not be spared, but you cannot just wrongly accuse a good person!
If this officer finds out that you have succumbed and killed innocent people indiscriminately in pursuit of merit, I will skin you!
Remember? "
Dong Tianbao immediately bowed and accepted the order, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely remember your teachings in my humble position. I must follow the principle of seeking truth from facts in my life and work, and I will serve you to the death!"
Song Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "I don't care what you say, only what you do.
Go ahead and don't let me down! "
For officials like Dong Tianbao who want to make progress in their work, Song Xuan will naturally support him.
But in the same way, those who should be warned should also be warned, so that they understand what their bottom line is. If they cross this bottom line in order to climb up, it will be a minor injury!
Seeing Dong Tianbao leading his troops away, Wang Baihu had a look of envy on his face.
After such a long time, the adults didn't even ask for their own names. However, He Tianbao came from behind and was valued by the adults.
Lucky boy, if this crackdown on crime and evil is done well and is remembered by the Supervisor, your career will be just around the corner!
