Style: Historical Author: Chief Disciple of the Jian SectWords: 3356Update Time: 24/01/18 05:49:49
Kaifeng Mansion was the administrative and judicial office of Kyoto in the Song Dynasty. Because it was located south of the imperial palace on South Street outside Xuandemen, also called Yu Street, it was also called Nanya. Its status was equivalent to that of the Capital People's Court in later generations, but its powers exceeded those of later generations. He is in charge of the civil affairs, prison litigation, household registration, taxes and servitude, Taoism, public security, etc. of the capital. The chief has the authority to know the affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Under the general government office, there are many subordinate agencies, including the Kaifeng Prefecture’s Envoy’s Court, the Kaifeng Prefecture’s Secretary’s Record Department, the Kaifeng Prefecture’s Left and Right Military Inspection Yuan, and the Kaifeng Prefecture’s Left and Right Affairs Office. Criminal and prison official affairs, activities in the left and right chambers, civil disputes in the left and right chambers of the new and old cities of Bianjing, and lawsuits. Each government office has its own patrol police responsible for inspections, such as inspections of various chambers in Kaifeng Prefecture, inspections of all chambers inside and outside the capital. inspections, inspections on all sides of the capital, etc.

The people who came after hearing the news at this moment were the inspections under the right wing of the Kaifeng Mansion.

The inspector probably knew the general details of the accident in advance, and came in a hurry with about a dozen famous officials. He quickly walked up to Zhang Yaozuo, clasped his fists in salute, and said in a rather respectful manner: "Li Huan has met Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Yaozuo nodded haughtily, looked at Li Huan and said, "Inspector Li, I remember you..."

Just this sentence made Inspector Li look happy.

Zhao Yang, who was standing by, secretly muttered: It seems that this is not the first time Yao Zuo has caused trouble. Otherwise, with the arrogance of this old man, how could he possibly make friends with Inspector Li?

While Zhao Yang watched coldly, Inspector Li quickly stopped smiling, looked around and whispered: "Mr. Zhang, what happened today..."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of Zhang Yaozuo's servants rushed to Inspector Li and shouted: "Inspector Li, please comment. My husband just wanted to take a shortcut. Who would have thought that a man would pop up in the middle of the journey?" Here comes the kid. Our coachman was kind-hearted and didn’t want to hurt anyone, so he turned the horse’s head urgently, causing it to hit a stall on the roadside. As a result, it turned out to be my husband’s fault... Look at this. .”

Hearing what this guy said, the people watching booed, accompanied by a few faint yells.

The remaining servants of Zhang Yaozuo couldn't keep their faces straight. They took a few steps forward and pointed at the crowd and began to yell and curse, still arrogant.

As the head of the house of these servants, Zhang Yaozuo turned a blind eye to the behavior of the fierce servants in the house. He looked sideways at Inspector Li and said: "I still have official business, Inspector Li, look at this..."

A smile appeared on Inspector Li's face. He was not a fool. Looking at the angry people around him, he knew that things were not as they said. However, he obviously did not want to offend Zhang Meiren's uncle in front of him, so he had to pile up Smiling and nodding, he said: "Mr. Zhang, please go. I have a humble job here to deal with the aftermath."

Hearing this, the nearby people who were watching became more and more angry and started shouting and cursing one after another. One scolded the Kaifeng government for being unfair, and the other said where the king's law was. Inspector Li couldn't keep it in his face, so he had to order the accompanying government servants to disperse the crowd and try to save Zhang Yaozuo. Wait for someone to clear a passage.

Seeing this, Zhao Yang said coldly: "Wait!"

Several people around him looked at Zhao Yang after hearing this, and then the condemnation of the people watching weakened a bit.

It was also at this time that Inspector Li noticed Zhao Yang, who was standing only half a foot away from Zhang Yaozuo. He looked at Zhao Yang for a while with some surprise, then turned to look at Zhang Yaozuo, with an expression that seemed to be asking: Mr. Zhang, what are you doing? Aren't you two together?

Zhang Yaozuo didn't pay attention to Inspector Li, and his eyes were a bit warning: "What else do you want to do, young man?"

It's a pity that Zhao Yang didn't accept this trick and sneered: "Driving through the city, hitting people and destroying things, bullying the weak, and committing murders on the street. How can such evildoers just leave like this?"

Inspector Li looked at Zhao Yang in astonishment and asked, "You...who are you?"

"The first commander of the Fifth Army of Tianwu Left Wing, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, is Zhao Yang." Zhao Yang said calmly.

Inspector Li was in disbelief.

So what kind of commander, let alone the commander, is this young man who looks to be fifteen or sixteen years old actually worshiping a foreign minister from the Ministry of Works?

He subconsciously felt that this young man had lied about his official position, but then he thought about it, who dared to fake his official position? That's really going to be beheading!

Could it be...that it's true?

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Yaozuo hesitantly: Mr. Zhang, this is your subordinate, come on.

At this time, Zhang Yaozuo looked at Zhao Yang with a completely gloomy look, and said coldly: "Young man, I have never met you, let alone have any grudges. I think you were young and reckless, so I don't blame you for the order just now. You have injured my servant, but if you are still entangled...I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise, I am afraid that something bad will happen to your family in the near future!"

Zhao Yang smiled nonchalantly and said: "Then let's see if Mr. Zhang has this ability!"

Zhang Yaozuo's face became more gloomy after hearing this. He turned his head slightly and saw Inspector Li looking at him, and said calmly: "I have been in the court for a long time, and I have never heard of a young official like you... You said you He is a member of the Ministry of Industry, do you have any credentials?"

It is true that Zhao Yang has not yet received the certificate of representative status, so he did not express any reaction immediately after hearing this.

Seeing this, the servant who had been kicked by Zhao Yang ran to Inspector Li and said, "Inspector Li, this is the man who hurt someone for no reason..."

When Inspector Li heard this, he immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Impersonating an official and committing murder on the street, take it down!"

Before he finished speaking, before all the government officials could surround Zhao Yang, Wang Zhongzheng stepped in front of Zhao Yang and shouted sternly: "Who dares?!"

At the same time, the other eight imperial guards also drew half of their weapons and confronted the Kaifeng Mansion officers who were about to surround them.

"you……"

Inspector Li looked at Wang Zhongzheng in surprise and uncertainty, and was about to guess his identity when he saw Wang Zhongzheng sneer and said: "My foreign minister has just not received the token yet, take a look at mine!"

After saying that, he took out the token from his arms and hung it in front of Inspector Li.

"Read it!" Wang Zhongzheng shouted sharply.

I saw Inspector Li trembling all over, looking up at Wang Zhongzheng's fierce eyes, and muttering tremblingly: "Enter... enter the inner chamber... the east... the east head to worship... the official..."

What?

Entering the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Dongtou worship official?

It's actually a royal instrument used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs? !

Zhang Yaozuo's expression changed slightly, and he looked at the other eight followers beside Zhao Yang with some disbelief. After all, the clothes of these eight people were almost the same as those of Wang Zhongzheng.

Could it be that these nine people are all royal servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? !

What is the origin of this boy?

Zhang Yaozuo finally realized that something was not right.

After all, the imperial weapons of the Forbidden Army are completely different from the imperial weapons of the Imperial Guards. The former are just the imperial guards who protect the official family, and their status basically stops there, but the latter are the best among eunuchs, and may not be able to do so in the future. You can't become a noble person that even he wants to win over.

Compared to Zhang Yaozuo's expression, which changed slightly, Inspector Li's face was as pale as dirt. He was at a loss and saluted Zhao Yang repeatedly with clasped fists: "It's my humble duty, my humble duty is offensive, my humble duty is offensive..."

"Don't blame those who don't know."

Zhao Yang raised his right hand and pressed it, and said calmly: "Inspector Li, right? Listen, you want to arrest me and take me to Kaifeng Mansion. I don't blame you. After all, I did instigate my followers to hurt people on the street, but if You flattered the superiors and bullied the subordinates, bent the law for personal gain, and let the main culprit of this incident go..."

He raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Yaozuo, then looked at Inspector Li and said coldly: "I will definitely peel off this layer of official skin on your body, and I will also hold you accountable!... Do you understand?"

"Ming, understand."

Inspector Li almost cried.

Seeing this, Zhao Yang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, do what you should do."

"Yes Yes……"

Inspection Li nodded repeatedly, looked at Zhang Yaozuo and then at Zhao Yang, and said with a grimace in an almost begging tone: "Mr. Zhang, do you think you and that Yuanwailang... can you follow your humble position?" Kaifeng Mansion..."

"..."

Zhang Yaozuo glanced at Inspector Li with hidden anger, and then turned his gaze to Zhao Yang.

"Please, Mr. Zhang." Zhao Yang said with a bright smile.

"Huh, just go." Zhang Yaozuo snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Zhang Yaozuo's servants brought the carriage over. Just as the former was about to get on the carriage, he saw Zhao Yang sarcastically saying: "Is it suitable for the murderer who caused the trouble to go to Kaifeng Mansion in a carriage? Those who didn't know better thought he was going. I’m a guest! Right, Inspector Li?”

"..."

Inspector Li suppressed the blush on his face and wished he could kneel down in front of this little ancestor.

However, the onlookers helped him out.

"What Xiao Langjun said is..."

"Let's go! Let's take a closer look at the faces of these vicious people."

"If he wants to ride in the carriage, the young man will definitely ask someone to pull him off!"

"Hahaha……"

"..."

Listening to the jeers all around, Zhang Yaozuo felt furious. He glanced around at the crowd watching the excitement hatefully, pushed away the entourage in front of him, fluttered his sleeves and passed Li Inspection, and said coldly: "What are you waiting for? Lead the way! "

"Yes Yes……"

Inspector Li lowered his head and repeatedly agreed. When he looked up again, he saw Zhang Yaozuo heading towards the royal road. He couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and ordered his servants to bring the rest of the people involved back to Kaifeng Mansion, including the mother and son. with several stall owners.

"Hey, it's time to show off."

Zhao Yang laughed and called to Wang Zhongzheng: "Let's go, let's follow."

As soon as he took two steps, he saw a government servant under Inspector Li rudely trying to lift up the woman who was lying on the ground. He stepped forward and lightly kicked her, and said calmly: "Be polite, I am the same." victim."

"Yes, yes." The government servant hurriedly changed the pull to support, and two nearby government servants also hurriedly stepped forward to help.

The surrounding crowd cheered and praised Zhao Yang for upholding justice. Some people were worried about Zhao Yang's safety and asked questions on the way.

"Young Master, Zhang Yaozuo is Zhang Meiren's uncle. Many officials in the court are fawning over him. Is it okay for you to go to Kaifeng Mansion to confront him?"

"Yes, Xiao Langjun..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Yanghun waved his hand nonchalantly: "My backer is not small either."

Everyone was doubtful, but in the end they couldn't help, until someone suggested: "Why don't we go together to testify for the young man?"

"Okay!" Many people cheered.

Zhao Yang politely refused, but in the end he couldn't win over public opinion, so he could only laugh or cry as he was surrounded by a group of common people and went to Yujie.

At the same time, the local chief of Gouyouxianggongshi, Gouyouxianggongshi, also learned the news, and his heart suddenly became numb.

Although the civil disputes in this area, as long as they are under sixty sticks, are tried by his official office, they involve a minister of the Ministry of Industry and a foreign minister of the Ministry of Industry. How can this be tried by his official affairs?

He is doing official business and is just a messenger. How can he be qualified to judge an official?

In the end, the matter was reported to the main court of Kaifeng Prefecture and presented before the case of Qian Mingyi, who was informed about Kaifeng Prefecture.

"There is such an honest young man..."

Qian Mingyi couldn't help laughing when he learned the reason, and then twirled his beard thoughtfully.

"Zhao Yang..."

If he remembered correctly, yesterday he was invited to a banquet at Song Xiang's house and heard Song Xiang mention this name.

Even the official order to summon Fan Zhongyan back to the capital was related to this son.
