These officers had poisonous eyes. After looking up and down, they knew that this soldier was just an ordinary naval soldier, with nothing surprising about him. Then the reason why he was brought here must be the document he was holding in his hand! Everyone unanimously said in their hearts: "Isn't this guy here to complain?"
Thinking of this, the officers present were a little uneasy! Because my family knows their own affairs, they have deducted the wages of the soldiers below them a lot over the years. If there are really desperate soldiers who come to complain at this time today, it will definitely be enough for them to drink!
But fortunately, there were all senior officers present, and they generally would not have anything to do with lower-level soldiers. But they didn't want the defendant to be an officer under their own command. Thinking of this, they were ready to pass the blame.
Just when the officers were full of thoughts, Zhang Baishui immediately knelt down when he saw Liu Haojia behind the case, held up the document with both hands, and said loudly: "The villain Zhang Baishui is the fourth member of the Beiyang Fleet." Marines from Squadron No. 33! The villain is suing Shangguan Bai Liqun for colluding with pirates and plundering civilian ships!"
The officers were shocked when they heard this. They all knew that Bai Liqun was dead! Because there is a line among the navy that must not be crossed, that is, fornication with pirates. As long as this soldier has solid evidence, Bai Liqun's only fate is to be beheaded and his house confiscated!
Liu Haojia remained calm after hearing Zhang Baishui's words, but her heart blossomed with joy! Because modern people all know one thing, that is, the eyes of ordinary people are sharp! Therefore, after Liu Haojia dealt with the senior officers, the next step was to clean up the middle and low-level officers.
However, it is impossible for his servants and guards to get too much detailed information, so what he has to do is to mobilize grassroots soldiers to report and expose. And before it got to this point, a soldier had already come to complain, so he would definitely not mind setting Zhang Baishui as a role model to let the soldiers at the bottom see hope, so that he could get enough evidence to clean up the people he wanted to clean up. those people!
So Liu Haojia said seriously: "Zhang Baishui, do you know what the crime of suing Shangguan is? And you should also know what crime you are suing for. If there is no real evidence, I can tell you one thing. You will die." deal!"
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Zhang Baishui, especially Bai Liqun's superior, who did not want him to produce evidence. This may allow Liu Haojia to restrain some of his moves in the next round. But what disappointed them was that Zhang Baishui said loudly: "Young Marshal, ah no, Marshal, I have evidence here, it's all hidden in the pleadings!"
Without Liu Haojia's signal, a servant immediately went over and took the document in his hand and placed it on the handsome case. He briefly browsed the paper first, then picked up a jade pendant to look at. Pick up another page and look at it carefully.
This piece of paper turned out to be a side scroll of a pawn ticket, and the pawn was the jade pendant he saw just now. The jade pendant is described very clearly above. What makes Liu Haojia strange is that this secondary volume is not complete, but has stubble on one edge, as if it has been hastily torn from an account book.
Liu Haojia closed the petition and said, "Tell me the actual situation."
Zhang Baishui explained the situation exactly as it was. And the language is clear. It can be seen that he has simulated it in his mind countless times!
Hearing stories is simple and cliché. It's just that Zhang Baishui has a cousin who usually walks very close to him. Since his family was poor and he received a lot of help from his cousin, the relationship between the two families was very good.
His cousin is the second-in-command on a sea-going ship. Just like other sea-going ships, he transports goods when he has to deliver goods and goes fishing when he has nothing else to do. But one time the boat his cousin was on went to sea and never came back! I don’t know if we encountered a storm or pirates!
Anyway, this kind of situation was common at that time, so it was okay for the family to be sad. As for Zhang Baishui, he thought the same thing. At that time, he had just joined the army and tried his best to scrape together a small amount of money. He also ran around and worked for a long time.
When he thought this matter was over, things suddenly changed! More than a month after he finished his cousin's funeral, he couldn't get enough money. I had to go to a pawn shop to pawn some things for turnover.
But when he entered the pawn shop, he happened to pass by someone. He just thought that this person looked familiar, he should be a personal soldier of a certain Shangguan, which made Zhang Baishui feel a little strange! Because the soldiers received care from the officers, they lived a good life and rarely went in and out of the pawn shop.
But he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, everyone had times when they were short of money. But as he approached the counter, he happened to see the shopkeeper handing a jade pendant to the clerk and telling him to put it away.
Zhang Baishui has had sharp eyes since he was a child, and he immediately recognized that the jade pendant was the one that his cousin tied around his neck! He has seen this jade pendant since he was a child. It is said that his cousin's grandfather bought it for him.
If he couldn't be sure just by looking at it, the shopkeeper said at this moment: "Send it back to Sun Jianghu and ask him to rub off the words Qinghe County on it. Maybe it can be sold earlier!"
In ancient times, the three characters Qinghe County represented the surname Zhang. Many documents record that Hui was the grandson or son of the Yellow Emperor. He "lived in Qingyang for generations and was granted the title of Yincheng." Hui's residence "Qingyang" is today's Qinghe County, Xingtai City.
The chapter "Getting the surname Jun Wang" in "The Genealogy of the Zhang Clan" says: "Hui, who watched the arc and made arrows, was given the surname Zhang. He was given the official title of Gongzheng, and the chief worshiper was Arc Star. He lived in Qingyang of Yincheng State, and later changed it. Qinghe County, this is how the Zhang family got their surname." Kanshu La
The "Nanxuan Genealogy of the Zhang Family" records: "My clan is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. The ancestor is Gongzheng, who was granted the title of Qinghe and given the surname Zhang. This county is autonomous."
The "Special Issue of the Hong Kong Zhang Clan Association: An Examination of the Genealogy of the Zhang Family" records: "The ancestor of my Zhang family, who was given the surname Hui, was the fifth son of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. He was born to the third concubine Tongyu. Guanhuxing, Si He held the post of Gongzheng and started making bows and arrows. He was given the surname Zhang and lived in Qinghe for generations."
Therefore, Qinghe County is the ancestral home of the Zhang family and has always had a large population. From the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Zhang family in Dongwucheng (now the southern part of Gucheng County, Hebei Province) was the most prominent. Therefore, many families with the surname Zhang have the words Qinghe County engraved on their utensils.
At this time, another waiter came to greet Zhang Baishui and asked him what he wanted. Although Zhang Baishui hadn't explained everything yet, he instinctively knew that he shouldn't reveal too much at this time! So he put the leather jacket he wanted to pawn on the counter, hurriedly bargained with the waiter, and went out with the pawn ticket.
