Chapter 515 The right to speak
In the evening, the sunny weather suddenly changed drastically. First, a strong wind blew, blew layer by layer of dark clouds, covering the sky above Kaifeng Prefecture City, and it became thicker and thicker, making people feel inexplicably depressed.
"The storm is coming and the wind is filling the building!"
In the pear blossom courtyard and above the pavilion in the back garden, Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen stood side by side, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, frowned at the same time.
Wu Haowen exhaled a breath of turbid air and said in a deep voice: "Now the court is like dark clouds covering the city, so I don't know when the fierce battle will start."
"This Jianzhong Yasukuni may not have been done for two years!"
Wu Hao's ancient sayings are pointing to it, which makes Wu Hao's literary style fall into deep thought.
"Brother, I'll leave in two days. Don't stay in Kaifeng Prefecture for a long time. It's better to go to Yuntai Academy and learn some skills from Mr. Dongpo. You can only let go of your hands and feet to do things for the court when you are in high school in the future."
Wu Haowen's sudden words made Wu Haogu smile bitterly. His brothers could leave, but he was trapped in Kaifeng Prefecture.
Wu Haogu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, my road is different from yours! You are walking on Yangguan Avenue, but I am walking on a single-wood bridge..."
"Yes!" Wu Haowen nodded and said seriously, "The Song Dynasty is the world of scholars after all. You are now a military officer and a businessman. No matter how favored you are, no matter how rich you are, it is not the right way. For example, this time, the fire in the military camp in the north of the Zhoubei region obviously has nothing to do with you, but no matter whether you are new or old, everyone thinks you are the mastermind behind the scenes! If you are a scholar who sings the name outside Donghua Gate, would anyone think so?"
This...is something that makes sense!
If Wu Haogu had followed the route of imperial examinations, of course no one would think that he could control the northern military camp of the state of fire... because that kind of thing could not be manipulated by a civil servant who was born in Jinshi.
The fire in the North of Zhou involves the black and white channels of Kaifeng Prefecture, and tens of thousands of dollars. It also requires a shelter that allows the real murderer to hide.
These things are simply impossible for a Jinshi from a poor family to possess.
"You'll leave in two days?"
Wu Haogu had nothing to say to his younger brother, so he simply changed the subject.
"yes!"
Wu Haowen whispered: "This time is a chance for Wenda. He has only been in office for more than a year. If he can get the government troops in Lantian County, it will only take a few years to change his capital officer."
Wu Haogu remained silent.
In fact, he didn't believe that the affairs of the military officers could succeed. How could such a thing be successful in the era when the imperial examination system was booming?
The military soldiers of the government need an economic foundation, and they must be able to afford it by land and rich people with land! But now the children of landlords and rich peasants in the Song Dynasty have gone to study and take the imperial examinations. They want to be called outside Donghuamen, so you ask them to join the army...
As for poor and lower-middle peasants, those who rely on renting land to make a living are actually relying on selling labor to support their families. If you have a very low income, you will let your family be a soldier, and you will not pay military pay, but you will also have to bring your own dry food. Isn’t this forcing the whole family to death?
He raised this topic in Wenquxing magazine just to enable Wenquxing magazine to transform from albums to journals and comments.
But unexpectedly, I went around and let my brother take the blame!
"Second brother," Wu Haogu paused, "I tell you clearly that the matter of the military soldiers in the whole world will definitely not be successful. However, there is no way to try it in Lantian County."
"I won't succeed?" Wu Haowen said, "How could it be? More than 90% of the articles in Wenquxing magazine said they can succeed!"
Wu Haogu sneered: "A group of scholars who can't join the army are just getting wild!"
"Brother, there are also scholars who have joined the army."
There are a few...well, if you don't count as easy-to-use writing or something, you're just a scholar who is actually in the battle, you're probably even rarer.
Wu Haogu was not interested in debating with his younger brother, and shook his head and said, "After you go to Lantian, you must remember the principle of "politics are not difficult and not offend the giant family."
This is the words of the Sub-Saint Mencius. If it were placed in the New China in the future, people would definitely criticize and fight. However, Wu Haowen, a young man who was less than 20 years old, went to Guanzhong to become a county magistrate because of his good writing. Why did he offend the giant family?
"After arriving in Lantian County, you must not be impatient and aggressive. You must first visit the hometown genius's office and listen to their opinions, and then work with them to formulate methods, rely on them to try the military forces in the palace to make them profitable. If you can succeed, you must also give the credit to the hometown genius' office in Lantian."
To put it bluntly, Wu Haowen's words were to let Wu Haowen win over the gentry after he arrived in Lantian, make a clever name, plunder the people's wealth, and then share the accounts with the gentry when he had the benefits. Big head gave it to the gentry and small head for some so-called government soldiers... It's almost the same!
As long as you follow this route to become an official, you will probably be a good official who has left a name in history.
As for the trial of the military service, with the cooperation of the gentry and huge family in Lantian, thousands of strong men can always get it. Let them go to serve in the service, and it will not be too big a problem to show off.
If you do this, can you fool the matter of trying to execute the military force? If you fool it, Wu Haowen will be promoted at the speed of the rocket's rise...
"Brother's words, I will keep in mind." Wu Haowen paused, "But please listen to your words too... I will not offend the giant room, and I will avoid Qingliu's affairs."
Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, and was about to say something else, Pan Qiaolian's voice came from behind: "Dalang, Brother Eleven and Brother Gao are here."
Wu Haogu quickly turned around and looked at his worried wife, showing a confident smile, "I'll go to welcome them. Eighteenth, my second brother is leaving, I'll give me a gift."
Now that the gate of the outer city of Kaifeng Prefecture has been closed, Wu Haowen cannot return to his residence in Kaifeng Prefecture. However, he also has a place outside the city, a village in the east of Jin Mingchi, which is Han Zhongyan's property. Recently, Wu Haowen's wife Han was pregnant and felt that she was frustrated in the city, so she lived in the Han family village outside the city. Wu Haowen often lives outside the city to accompany his wife.
After breaking up with his brothers, Wu Haogu welcomed Pan Xiao'an and Gao Qiu into the inner hall, and also ordered his personal maid, Arhat maid to go to the kitchen to get some wine and food.
"Where have all the people who set fire?"
As soon as he sat down in the inner hall, Wu Haogu asked directly about the aftermath of the fire in the northern military camp.
"Jiehe Shang City." Gao Qiu said with a smile, "There will be no problem... This matter was arranged by Zhou Tong of the Imperial Boxing Gym. Those who set fire to the fire were all his disciples and grandsons. Each of them got 1,000 knots. The eleventh brother also arranged for them to go to Jiehe Shang City to open the boxing Gym. He left on the day of the fire, and now he has almost arrived at the place."
When you arrive at Jiehe Commercial City, it will be difficult for the New Party to find out. Because Jiehe Commercial City is the ground of Wuhaogu, what's the difficulty of protecting a group of arsonists?
Even Wu Haogu could arrange for them to open a boxing gym on the territory of Liao Kingdom on the other side of Jiehe Shang City. In this way, the officials of the Song Dynasty had no jurisdiction at all... Even if Bao Qingtian was resurrected, Kaifeng Prefecture would not be able to investigate the case and find out the Liao Kingdom, right?
"Then... Can someone ask about Lu Benzhi's death?" Wu Haogu asked again, "Don't you let poison be brought in the Censorate Prison?"
"Someone asked," Pan Xiao'an said, "The Ministry of Justice sent a coroner to perform a post-mortem, and the Chief Censor Zhao Tingzhi personally investigated it. It was confirmed that a Taiwanese soldier from the Censor was moved by Lv Benzhi's filial piety and prepared arsenic for him."
"That Taiwanese man was captured?" Wu Haogu asked.
"How could it be caught?" Pan Xiao'an smiled bitterly, "and he left a letter and disappeared.
But even if he was arrested, he could not do anything to him. He fulfilled Lu Benzhi's filial piety. This dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, so he would inevitably be given a lighter sentence. At most, it would be a punishment for a few years of imprisonment, and it would not be severely beaten, and someone would take care of him in prison."
Do you have any concepts of right and wrong? Wu Haogu was a little speechless. He obviously had a serious doubt, but he couldn't investigate it...
Wu Haogu frowned, "Lu Benzhi was killed, right? No one has ever asked about this?"
"It is unlikely that it was killed," Pan Xiao'an shook his head, "The blood letter has been experienced, it was indeed written by Lu Benzhi himself. Moreover, Zhang Kegong, the Censor, also testified that he bought an old hen for Lu Benzhi..."
"Buy an old hen?" Wu Haogu was stunned and stunned, "Is this related to the case?"
"Yes," Pan Xiao'an said seriously, "Don't you need blood when you thorn the blood and write it to the book? So you have to kill the chicken to get blood. This chicken was killed by Zhang Kegong, and he also released the blood."
"Chicken blood? Shouldn't it be human blood?"
"Human blood?" Pan Xiao'an laughed, "Where does human blood come from? You can't use the knife for criminals in the Censorate, right?"
"Bit your fingers." Wu Haogu said and gestured. Blood books written in later TV series are all biting their fingers.
"That's only a few drops of blood?" Pan Xiao'an smiled, "After he is a scholar from an official family, he has to write a blood book thousands of words, right? How can you do it by biting your fingers?"
Gao Qiu also said: "It's not okay to stab yourself with a knife. You are all scholars, and you won't stab someone with a knife. What if you stab it badly and you're killed? Therefore, the blood books written by the Censorate Prison are written in chicken blood, and some officials will bite their fingers and squeeze a drop of human blood or two to make a drop of human blood."
"Isn't this a deception?"
"Of course not," Pan Xiao'an said with his eyes, "If all my scholars in the Song Dynasty dared to stab themselves with a knife to get a big bowl of blood, how cruel would it be? If it were all like this, could the government really sleep soundly?"
That's right! If all the scholars in the Song Dynasty were ruthless people who stab themselves without frowning with a knife, wouldn't this become the Great Song Dynasty's Bushidao? Wouldn't the imperial examination system be in vain?
"In other words, this filial son of Lu Benzhi should be settled?"
"I'm afraid it's settled." Pan Xiao'an said, "The same is true for the official family... The official family is a benevolent king, so naturally he must fulfill Lv Benzhi's filial piety."
What's the matter with this? Wu Haogu was so depressed! What about the various blue skyscrapers that had been agreed upon? Where did the officials who made the case on TV go? Why did they watch a murder case without reaction?
