Daming King of Punishment

But after such a notice was sent out, no one came to report the clues of those bandits for more than ten days. Obviously, the common people still have fear of these bandits.After all, the government has not been able to catch them all for so many years, and they are afraid of retaliation by these thieves.

At the same time, they may have lost trust in the government. They feel that the notices issued by the government are nothing more than superficial appearances. In fact, there is no way to deal with these thieves.

These, Song Wuya had already guessed in his heart, but even so he would slowly change the common people's understanding of the government.It is definitely not a simple matter for the government to re-establish its prestige in the hearts of the people. Before that, he must do something to let the people see the determination of the government.

Chapter 8 and Seven

?Chapter 8 and Seven

"My lord, a convoy of convoys has come in from outside the city, escorted by officers and soldiers. It seems that the military pay has arrived again."

A guard came to report to Song Wuya what he found at the city gate.

"Do you know why military pay is delivered so frequently in this borderland?" Song Wuya was very puzzled by this.

The military pay comes once every half a month, isn't the court's money really too much?Song Wuya couldn't figure out this problem, the military salary could be transported more at a time, why did it make it so complicated?Not only that, the military salary is not directly delivered to the barracks, but it has to be sent to Yingzhou City.

Thinking about this question in his mind, Song Wuya suddenly seemed to understand this question.

If the military salary was not sent to Yingzhou City, but sent directly to the military camp, then the robbery of the military salary by these bandits would probably not have happened.

Suddenly, he felt an incomparable shock.Obviously this is not a simple matter, originally he thought it was just a matter of thieves.But now that I think about it, maybe this bandit is really nothing.But the real problem is appearing in the government, this is completely a play directed by them.

And the protagonists of this scene may seem to be those bandits who robbed the army's salary, but the manipulator behind him is very likely to be Yuan Tongpan.As for who the director of this scene is, Song Wuya can only investigate carefully.

"This subordinate doesn't know. I think it should be a matter of the imperial court." Naturally, it is impossible for the imperial guard to know about this matter. After all, this is his first visit to Yingzhou. Impossible to investigate all at once.

Song Wuya nodded slightly: "Go back and tell the brothers, if any bandits come again this time, make sure none of them can escape."

"This subordinate understands." The guard nodded in agreement.

Song Wuya did not continue to sit behind the case to review the files, but got up and walked outside.

Several imperial guards followed behind him, and went directly to the place where the military supplies were temporarily kept.

"How many guards are there here?" Song Wuya came to the door and immediately asked the person at the door.

The man looked a little strange when he saw Song Wuya's appearance, but he could clearly see the official uniform on his body

"There are more than 20 people." The man hesitated and replied.

Hearing this, Song Wuya frowned.

"There are more than 20 people, and the thieves are only about [-] people, how can they easily rob them from here?" Song Wuya asked coldly.

The guard immediately panicked, obviously not knowing how to answer Song Wuya's question.A few days ago, Song Wuya didn't pay much attention to this matter because it was over for the time being.Today I heard that the military supply is coming again, so I immediately asked.

Seeing that the guard's expression was wrong, Song Wuya knew that there must be something wrong with it, so he didn't force him to ask, but looked at the situation inside and said, "Who made the military supplies temporarily stored here?"

"This, the subordinate doesn't know." The guard shook his head, but didn't give an answer.

This courtyard is in the midst of a busy city, when thieves broke in suddenly, even if these 20 people didn't react at the same time, they could still resist them.But the thieves and bandits came here, as if they had entered the land of no one.

All these signs were strange, and Song Wuya knew in his heart that this matter was just as he had imagined, and it was definitely not a simple robbery.

Walking into the yard, the people inside are busy cleaning.Apparently they also know that the military supplies are coming back today, so they are preparing the warehouse.But this so-called warehouse is not a warehouse at all, they are all private houses with windows on the rooms.

One can imagine the level of rigor here, even if bandits really came to this matter, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to protect these military supplies.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Song Wuya wondered what kind of plan he should make.

He knew very well in his heart that if all the people here were replaced, it would definitely scare the snake away. It was not certain whether the thieves would come or not, maybe they would think of a better way.

Thinking of this, Song Wuya said to everyone present: "Brothers! The safety of the court's military supplies depends entirely on you. In the past, the military supplies were lost, and the government knew that it was not your fault. But the government still hopes that you can Be more vigilant in the past few days, if you can save the military supplies, the government will naturally reward you a lot."

After much deliberation, Song Wuya felt that he couldn't act rashly, but he couldn't just ignore anything, he had to act.

After the guards heard this, they immediately nodded their heads, and each of them was very heroic, as if they were about to fight a tough battle.

After saying these words of encouragement, Song Wuya continued: "These bandits are just ordinary bandits. What can they do? Don't be shocked by their aura, as the court They must suppress these thieves in awe. If they dare to come again, brothers, you must not be soft, and you must show them some color, so that they will never dare to come to Yingzhou City to act wild again! "

Hearing these words, the guards already agreed, after all, they couldn't confess to these thieves in front of Song Wuya.

After saying what he thought he should say, Song Wuya turned around and left.

He knew that it was meaningless to say anything else, and what he did was just to let these people hear that he, the prefect, was very concerned about this matter, but he had no ability to make a substantial change to this matter.

As soon as he left the courtyard, he bumped into Yuan Tongpan at the gate.

Seeing Song Wuya appearing here, Yuan Tongpan was not surprised at all, and asked Song Wuya indifferently: "Master Song is not dealing with the backlog of official duties in the yamen, why did he come here?"

Since the change of yamen servants, the relationship between the two has been settled.Now that Yuan Tong judge met Song Wuya, he even forgot the official etiquette, and directly questioned Song Wuya.

Although the words made him uncomfortable, Song Wuya did not show dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "I heard that military supplies have been transported from outside the city, so I came here to see if there are any omissions. This time This house can never tolerate those bandits taking away the general's salary. The guards here are all young men, but they lack blood and dare not fight those bandits, so come here to mobilize everyone. "

"I'm afraid Mr. Song is worrying too much." Hearing this, Yuan Tongpan said coldly: "These guards are only responsible for guarding this place. Naturally, they can't fight these thieves with their lives. If they all die here, Then who will guard here. Who needs to protect the military supplies that have not been robbed? This is why the subordinate officials brought the yamen servants to drive out these bandits."

Yuan Tongpan explained the matter coldly, as if what he said made sense.

Song Wuya nodded slightly, but didn't say anything else.

Yuan Tongpan said again: "Since I have met Mr. Song here, it will save me from going to the government office. The military salary is delivered today, and the thieves and bandits will definitely come again in the near future. Because before, Mr. Song will dismiss the officials All the subordinates have been kicked out, and there is no one in the hands of the lower officials. In the past few days, I need to second my master's subordinates to drive out these gangsters."

"Yuan Tong judge's words are wrong!" Song Wuya immediately retorted after hearing this: "Since they are yamen servants, they are naturally the people of the imperial court. It's not yours or mine's, the government only heard There are factional disputes in the imperial court, but I have never heard of such a thing in this small government office. Yuan Tongpan can call it as long as it is needed, and there is no need to say hello to the government."

"Since your lord said so, then I understand." Yuan Tongpan didn't continue to refute anything, but just nodded.

After finishing talking with Song Wuya, he looked at the guards behind Song Wuya: "Brothers, if bandits come this time, I will have to rely on you brothers. But there is one thing I want to inform you, if there is a fight with bandits at that time. Our main purpose is to drive them out of the city, not to have a fierce fight with them. I don’t want to see any casualties. Although this It sounds a bit like destroying one's own prestige and gaining the ambition of others, but this is really helpless. After all, if these bandits are provoked, they can do anything. At that time, they will naturally vent their anger on the government and the people, and there must be people It’s a disaster. And among the magistrates who served in the past, many people died in their revenge. The so-called safety of the people and Mr. Song must be remembered, brothers!”

"This subordinate understands." The guards nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Song Wuya wanted to ignore it, but then he thought, wouldn't this make Yuan Tongjian suspicious?

"Yuan Tongpan! It's inappropriate for you to say such things in public, right? We are court officials, how can we be kind to those thieves? From the point of view of this government, we must not be soft-hearted, we must let them Only if you feel the wrath of the government. They must be wiped out!" Song Wuya retorted coldly.

Hearing this, Yuan Tongpan's face darkened, but he didn't say anything else, he just looked at Song Wuya and sighed.

"Sir Song, if you have any objections to the actions of the lower officials? Then the lower officials will not care about dealing with these thieves, and I will leave it to Mr. Song to deal with it himself." Yuan Tongpan was obviously unwilling to listen to Song Wuya's words, Said angrily.

Hearing what he said, Song Wuya hastily said again: "Yuan Tongpan's words are serious! I'm a weak scholar in this house, and I don't know much about these thieves. To deal with the thieves, I still need Yuan Tongpan to come personally Do it. It’s just that the lower officials don’t agree with Yuan Tongjuan’s actions, if we keep timid, wouldn’t that just encourage their arrogance?”

Chapter 8 and Eight

?Chapter 8 Rebirth of Banditry

After saying this, Song Wuya didn't wait for Yuan Tongpan to react before saying anything else, "Forget it, let Yuan Tongpan deal with this matter. I'll think of a way to get rid of these thieves when I go back. Bandits. Obviously, it’s not enough to use the people in the yamen, you still have to rely on the army. If necessary, the army can only come forward to wipe them out. Presumably the Mongolian side is busy with civil strife at the moment and can’t care about us at all.”

After saying this, Song Wuya didn't wait for Yuan Tongjuan to speak, but turned and left.
