Daming King of Punishment

Page 679

After saying this, Song Wuya walked out, and Yuan Tongpan followed immediately, leading Song Wuya to the place where the incident happened.

Soon they came to a courtyard at the foot of the city wall, the courtyard door was open, and the servants were still in the courtyard, all of them looked in a trance as if they were drunk.

Seeing Song Wuya and Yuan Tongjue approaching, they looked at them with distracted eyes, and greeted them feebly.

"Why are you still here? I heard from Yuan Tongjuan that you've all been caught in a mist. Seeing what you're doing now, hurry up and find a doctor to take a look, so that there won't be any more problems. If you lose your military salary, you'll lose it. This man If something happens again, how do you ask this government to explain to the court?" Song Wuya said angrily to the yamen servant.

After saying these words, Song Wuya turned his head and said to Yuan Tongpan: "Yuan Tongpan, this is your fault. Since you know that they have been caught in the mist, you just let them lie here delirious. It’s in vain for you to claim that these brothers don’t even want their lives to protect the army’s salary, and that’s how you treat them?”

Song Wuya suddenly agreed with each other, and regarded Zhe as something to do.

Don't talk about those yamen servants, even Yuan Tongpian himself didn't realize it.

Hearing Song Wuya's reprimand, Yuan Tongjuan nodded hastily: "This official has neglected his duty, this official has neglected his duty, this official will take the brothers to treat him."

Song Wuya ignored them, looked at the servants with a frown, and entered inside.

Coming here, Song Wuya didn't blame them, which made these yamen servants very surprised.After all, before this, Song Wuya's attitude towards them was completely different.

After entering the room, after some inspections, things were just as Yuan Tongpan said, and the incense for lighting up the smoke could be found in the yard, which shows that this is the method of those thieves.

The inspection was just a routine inspection, Song Wuya looked at it and left.

"Master Song, things seem to be going very smoothly!" The head of the imperial guard looked at Song Wuya and said in a low voice.

Song Wuya's angry face revealed a smile: "That's right, it looks like I expected!"

If Yuan Tongpan saw this scene, he would be surprised why Song Wuya could still laugh when something like this happened.

This time, all the military pay was taken away, which was a huge loss.

But all of this, in Song Wuya's view, was not an accident, but the result he wanted.Originally, I thought that Yuan Tongpan explained the plan, the purpose was to make those thieves prepare.Now, they have spent a lot of effort to rob the general's salary, which is exactly what Song Wuya wanted.

Right now, the most urgent thing for Song Wuya is not to wipe out these bandits, but to buy time for the imperial court's reinforcements to arrive.

After returning to the yamen, the yamen servants gradually came to their senses, and they all gathered in the magistrate's yamen.

Song Wuya didn't know if they were really poisoned by the fragrance, but they were indeed untrustworthy.

"Master Song, these brothers have nothing else to do." They were brought by Yuan Tongpan, and Yuan Tongpan said to Song Wuya: "These brothers let the thieves take advantage of the loophole yesterday. They are still dereliction of duty, the subordinate officials brought them here and implored the adults to punish them."

Hearing this, Song Wuya waved his hands: "Okay, let the brothers go back and rest."

Hearing this, Yuan Tongpan was taken aback for a moment: "My lord, weren't you before?"

"I just heard about this before, and I said some angry words out of anger! It's because the government didn't think carefully about this matter, so I can't blame them." Song Wuya said dejectedly: "Hey! If you think the government wants to If you find them to be scapegoats, then you are thinking wrong. The government was dissatisfied with them before and expelled them from the Yamen. The reason why the government did that was not to blame them for their incompetence. It is just that the government is dissatisfied Their attitude towards the government, and they don't listen to the government's words. Besides, the military salary is originally a matter of the army. Now it is not right for them to be guarded by the yamen. They are also ordinary People have only one life, even if they really don't work hard, then the government shouldn't blame them. What's more, the government has seen them fight against bandits with their own eyes, and everyone has worked hard. Just like Yuan According to what you said, the brothers have made great contributions."

What Song Wuya said once again made Yuan Tongpan and the yamen servants dumbfounded.

Yuan Tongpan pondered for a while, before he asked in doubt again: "But there must be someone responsible for this matter, right?"

"This government is in charge!" Song Wuya said.

"Then how can it be done! Mr. Song didn't directly participate in this matter. It's all because of their unfavorable guardianship. How could you be responsible?" Yuan Tongjuan looked at Song Wuya and exclaimed.

Song Wuya shook his head slowly, as if he was completely helpless.

"As the magistrate, this government should lead by example when something like this happens. I thought that these thieves and bandits would be wiped out by the government, but I didn't expect to lose all the military pay this time. Now, for these lost I really don’t know how to deal with it.” Song Wuya sighed heavily and said: “Now it seems that this government is really incapable of taking the post of magistrate indifferently. I have made up my mind to report what happened this time to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to punish me!"

"My lord! You must not report this matter to the imperial court! When the imperial court blames it, no one can resist it!" Yuan Tongjuan immediately panicked when he heard Song Wuya's words.

Song Wuya immediately raised his hand to stop him from continuing: "Yuan Tongjuan, don't worry about this! This government will not talk about the past, only this time. Even if the court convicts at that time, it will be the only one in this government." People will take care of it."

"But..." After hearing Song Wuya say this, Yuan Tongpan's expression eased a lot. "But if this happens, my lord may lose his head. You must think about it carefully, my lord! Even if your lord doesn't report it to the court, the lower officials will definitely be able to conceal this matter."

Song Wuya shook his head dejectedly: "Yuan Tongpan, you don't have to comfort me. I also know very well in my heart that if it's only a few tens of thousands of taels, maybe Yuan Tongpan can find a solution. But what is lost now It's not a matter of tens of thousands of taels, but a count of 10 taels. Does the government think that there will be so many treasury silver in this small Yingzhou mansion?"

"My lord, if you really want to trust me, I will definitely be able to hide this matter. At that time, my lord, you will still be the magistrate, and the court will not blame anyone!" Seeing Song Wuya's expression, Yuan Tong judged hurriedly persuading.

Hearing this, Song Wuya was stunned: "Yuan Tongpan, I don't understand what you are talking about? Can you conjure up 10 taels out of thin air? Don't forget, this General Wei is having trouble with this residence. In such a situation, he will definitely force the government to hand over the military salary. At that time, the government will have no way to pay the military salary, what else can it do? Now the government has regretted it. It should not have broken the face with General Wei before, but now When such a situation occurs, General Wei will definitely ridicule the residence."

"My lord, please don't worry. Although there is no silver in this treasury, in order to ensure the stability of the war, we in Yingzhou City will prepare a large amount of food, grass and horses every year." Yuan Tong judge heard Song Wuya's words, and the expression on his face was no longer the same as before. So tense. "These things can be exchanged for money!"

"What? Grain and horses?" Song Wuya frowned when he heard this, "Yuan Tongpan, what do you mean by that?"

"Don't you understand, my lord? Now that the war is at a standstill, I don't know when the war will resume. These grain and horses are stored in Yingzhou City. After a long time, there will definitely be problems. The grain and grass will be eaten by insects. And the horses will also have serious illnesses and minor disasters. We only need to report to the court, and then sell these food horses for money, which can just fill up the vacancy."

"How is this possible? This government has committed such a serious crime, can it still do such a thing?" Song Wuya immediately retorted angrily: "Could it be that Yuan Tongpan wants to sell all these things to Mongolia? That is a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, this government cannot afford it!"

"My lord, please calm down, just listen to me." Seeing Song Wuya's anger, Yuan Tongpan hastily persuaded him, "Your official has absolutely never been involved in collaborating with the enemy and treason, these food and horses were all sold to our own people. They are just some merchants. Our horses are military horses, which are much better than ordinary people’s horses. They can be sold to those caravans for freight. As for grain and grass, let alone, in the end, all these things into the hands of the people."

"It doesn't matter if it's not collaborating with the enemy and treason. If we do this, how can we let this government face the Holy One." Song Wuya still refused to agree to this matter: "This government really regrets it. I just resigned from office at the beginning, and I insisted on coming to this wrong place. , now causing such a big trouble.”

In addition to being angry, Song Wuya became even more depressed as he spoke.

Hearing this, Yuan Tongpan persuaded again: "My lord, you can't say such a thing! This time the matter is serious. If the court finds out, your lord must be guilty of a felony. At that time, the nine clans may be implicated. You are not afraid, and you will You should think about your own family! What's more, you and your wife don't have any children yet, how can you be worthy of your ancestors if you go like this!"

This Yuan Tongpan was really good at talking, and after such a short effort, he actually pulled out Song Wuya's family and ancestors.

Hearing what he said, Song Wuya sighed heavily: "You are right, this residence should consider for the family. It seems that the only thing we can do now is to apologize with death. !"

Song Wuya directly put his words to the point of desperation, talking himself to the point of death.

But Yuan Tongpan, who heard this, was also very anxious. He hurriedly said: "My lord, you have to think carefully. If you go, your family will have no one to rely on. How can you survive in this world?" Ah! You must think twice! What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and ask the magistrate not to do such a stupid thing!"

After Yuan Tongpan yelled, those yamen servants immediately knelt on the ground and begged Song Wuya.

Seeing them like this, Song Wuya's resolute attitude slowly changed: "Okay, I appreciate your kindness. Now I am very upset, let me think about this matter! You can only become an official thanks to the kindness of the Holy Majesty, and it is really difficult for this government to make up your mind to make this government do things that are not good to the Holy Majesty."

"My lord, you must not let your mind go! If you really apologize for your crime with death, then the officials will follow you to the underworld." Yuan Tongpan also knelt down and said so sincerely to Song Wuya.

Those yamen servants who were already kneeling on the ground also begged Song Wuya one by one at this moment.

Seeing such a situation, Song Wuya sighed and said: "You all get up, this is the business of this residence, you don't need to worry about it. If you are forcing each other to die, then do as you wish. This residence I will never do anything to offend the Holy Majesty."

After Song Wuya said this, he got up and walked to the back.

Watching Song Wuya leave, Yuan Tongpan immediately asked, "My lord, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing!" Song Wuya said coldly.

"My lord, there are so many official affairs here, you can't just leave them alone!" Yuan Tongpan said, pointing to the files on the official case.

Song Wuya snorted coldly: "Yuan Tongpan, it's already this time, do you think this government is still in the mood to take care of this? Let them leave it there and wait for the next magistrate to come and deal with it."
