A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 148 You Killed Someone

? Under the morning light, the birds that had spent the cold night began to chirp and look wildly in the trees.

"Eat something!"

Plop la la, a flock of birds flew down and surrounded the little girl.

Guoguo opened her little hand, and a bird flew up and pecked at the corn in her hand.

"ha!"

There was a loud shout from the side, and the birds flew away again.

Guo Guo looked over aggrievedly and saw her brother practicing his sword.

The figure was strong and strong, and the light of the sword was breathtaking in the morning light.

"kill!"

Shen An slashed with his sword, feeling that this was the sword at its peak, so he couldn't help but look at the door ahead.

"You don't have the spirit of a sword!"

Shen An was a little disappointed. When he turned around and walked over, he scared away the remaining birds.

"elder brother!"

Guoguo pouted in anger, Shen An touched the top of her head and said, "Brother, I'll catch a few of them in a basket for you later."

When I was a child, I would set up a basket, put some rice under it, and catch birds. This was a joyful thing.

After breakfast, Shen An was going to take his sister for a walk around Daxiangguo Temple and pray for his deceased parents.

Yang Mo appeared like a ghost.

"Shen Daizhao, someone is impeaching you for excreting people and putting them to death..."

"What?"

Yang Mo glanced at Guo Guo, and Shen An said, "Guo Guo, would you like to go to the prince's house to play today?"

Guoguo nodded and said, "Okay, I have a little sister to play with."

Zhao Zhongzhen has a younger sister, and Shen An also wants her younger sister to expand her circle of friends, so she often communicates with her.

"Huang Qi is dead."

Guoguo went to the county prince's mansion, but Zhao Zhongzhen came to the Shen family.

He felt that this was not a good thing, "I, Wengweng, said that this is because you didn't wipe your poop cleanly. If others smelled the poop, they thought you pooped in your pants."

This old gangster!

Shen An was shocked by this metaphor, but he didn't panic at all.

"I'll teach you something else today."

Shen An was impeached, and it was a human life case, so the family was a little uneasy.

Aunt Chen was holding Guo Guo and was about to leave. Zhuang Laoshi told her to pay attention to the kidnapper, and then went to the study to warn Shen An.

We should pay attention to this matter!

But Shen An and Zhao Zhongzhen were muttering in the study. They were not in a hurry. How could this be done?

"...Three redundancies are the most urgent issue in the Song Dynasty. Countless people have said that the Qingli New Deal was also aimed at this goal..."

Zhuang Laoshi heard these words, quickly shrank his neck, and then quietly retreated.

"But where did Sanruan come from? If we can't find this reason, any new policies or reforms are all nonsense!"

Shen An asked a question.

The three redundancies are redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses!

These are the three major chronic diseases of the Song Dynasty!

Zhao Zhongzhen was thinking, and Zhe Kexing was also thinking with his hands on his chin.

"My little brother, I think... redundant officials are due to too much compensation..."

"Go on!"

Shen An nodded proudly, leaning back slightly and leaning on the back of the chair.

Wang Anshi's official position has been determined, and he will be judge.

Duzhi is in charge of finance, which is actually equivalent to half of the household department. But the real household department has become a place for retirement with nothing to do.

This is equivalent to the Minister of Household Affairs!

Lao Wang has now begun to have a prosperous official career. According to the historical trajectory, he stayed in the capital for a few years, and then returned home to observe filial piety. It was not until the little kid in front of him became the emperor that he was captured from his hometown.

"Brother Anbei, Yinbu is a means to stabilize the government. I think it is... indispensable!"

Shen An only felt a surge of anger rushing up, and shouted: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid from the beginning, so I got involved with the civil servants. The emperor is not like an emperor. If you make up for it, you will only make up for the Song Dynasty." Go to the underworld!"

This was the first time Shen An got angry at Zhao Zhongzhen, and he probably hated iron for not being able to become steel.

After your kid ascended the throne, you eagerly brought Wang Anshi back from his hometown without grasping the root of the problem, and then left the overall situation to him. How rash is this!

Zhao Zhongzhen said unconvinced: "But the Song Dynasty is very stable..."

Shen An picked up the book and cursed: "Stable is stable, but at what cost? There are countless officials in the stacked houses. In order to accommodate them and to restrain each other, they made inventions everywhere. Here is a new position , get a retirement place there..."

Zhao Zhongzhen felt that this was a bit taboo, so he wanted to remind him.

But Shen An was faster. He slapped the napping Zhe Kexing on the head with a book, and then said: "The emperors of the Song Dynasty were first afraid of military men, so they used civil servants to control military officers. Then they were worried about civil servants, so they divided various positions. Let’s keep each other in check...I’m afraid of this and I’m afraid of that...Is what this emperor is doing interesting?"

"ah!"

Zhe Kexing woke up after being slapped, raised his head and took a sip of saliva, and then said blankly: "Interesting, interesting!"

Shen An looked at him with a black line on his face and said angrily: "You are not allowed to eat lunch!"

Zhao Zhongzhen returned to the house in despair. He first went to see Guoguo and his sister playing together, and then went to find Zhao Yunrang.

The weather is getting cold, and Lao Zhao can no longer bare his breasts.

The old guy was lying on the couch and taking a nap. When he heard the footsteps, he opened his eyes and asked, "Is it Zhong Zhen?"

"Wengweng."

Zhao Zhongzhen came over quickly and tucked him in.

Zhao Yunrang slowly sat up, took a sip of tea, and asked: "Huang Qi's death is a bad thing. Is Shen An panicked?"

Zhao Zhongzhen thought of Zhe Kexing who was chased and beaten by Shen An carrying a wooden stick because he stole something at noon. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't panic, he also said some things... about the court."

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Yunrang closed his eyes to rest his mind. Regarding court affairs... Shen An is still too young!

"He said that the main reason for the three redundancies was because the emperor was afraid..."

"Um!"

Zhao Yunrang opened his eyes.

"Talk about it."

"...The emperor was afraid, so he was on guard everywhere, including the Xiang army. This was the product of this idea. Everything was because the emperor was afraid, from warriors to civil servants to the common people, they were all targets of the emperor's defense. …”

"What are you afraid of?"

"Shen An said...the emperor was afraid of rebellion."

Zhao Zhongzhen looked around and saw that only the old servant was there, then lowered his voice and said: "Shen An said that our family rebelled and became the emperor, which is nothing. But since he rebelled and became the emperor, he was worried that others would imitate him. Such...it's not enough to go too far! Liu Bang also rebelled, and the Li family in the former Tang Dynasty also rebelled...but they were never so worried."

What he didn't say was that Shen An directly criticized the emperor of the Song Dynasty as a psychopath and a severe patient with persecution delusion.

Zhao Yunrang touched the beard on his upper lip, nodded and said: "How brave!"

He lowered his head slightly and saw Zhao Zhongzhen looking at him expectantly, so he smiled and said, "Go!"

Does this mean you agree with Shen An?

Zhao Zhongzhen stood up and looked at his grandfather expectantly.

Zhao Yunrang glared and cursed: "Get out!"

So Zhao Zhongzhen ran away happily.

The old slave waited until Zhao Zhongzhen left before saying, "Alang, that young man is so brave!"

Zhao Yunrang nodded and said: "The young man is angry, and the officials won't blame him if they know about it. But...I'm afraid...Why do I think he is right?"

This man actually agreed with Shen An's statement. In other words, he agreed that all previous emperors were cowardly.

The old servant went out to take a look with a dark look on his face, but fortunately there was no one there.

"I didn't kill anyone!"

The chamberlain came again and asked him about his self-defense.

Shen An said with a sad and angry look: "Then Huang Qi was still alive and kicking yesterday, why did he die overnight? Someone must be framing me."

The chamberlain said calmly: "We did an autopsy and it was said that Huang Qinai died of arsenic exposure, but..."

This is because she suspected that Shen An would retaliate. After winning the bet, he still refused to let Huang Qi go.

Shen An said innocently: "There was someone outside about the bet, so Huang Qi bet on himself to win. As a result... he lost everything and owed a lot of debt... Do I deserve to kill him? I looked at him in such a mess. Isn’t it better?”

The chamberlain thought about it for a moment, and he thought Shen An was a good person, so he said awkwardly: "There are many people in the court who impeached him, saying that you must be the one who killed him."

"This is just trying to disgust people!"

After the chamberlain left, Shen An called over Zhe Kexing and Yao Lian with murderous intent.

"Then Huang Qi's death is definitely not simple. He owed a large debt. As for the source of the debt and arsenic, we also need to find connections to go to Kaifeng Mansion to ask for news and who was in and out of the Huang family that day."

In Kaifeng Mansion, Judge Left Yang Jing was listening to his subordinate's report with his eyes closed.

"The government judged that Huang Qi owed a lot of debts and could not repay them. His wife had just been imprisoned. She just kept saying that she was wronged and that the husband's debt should be repaid. She was just seeking death by killing Huang Qi. It would be better to take the child with her. gone."

Yang Jing nodded slightly and said: "This is the truth. If his wife is not stupid, she will not kill anyone. Moreover, the poison is not easy to mix, and his wife does not have that kind of background..."

He closed the door and meditated for a while, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net said: "Who has been to his house?"

"Prefect, Huang Qi is like a lost dog now. He no longer interacts with neighbors and relatives, and all the people who go there are debt collectors...and his cousin, Yushi Maoqiao. It's the Maoqiao with a slightly darker nickname."

There is a big mole on Mao Qiao's nose, which is very eye-catching.

Yang Jing nodded, then closed his eyes again and said, "This matter... needs to be investigated slowly."

The subordinate said understandingly: "Yes. Shen An has offended many people. Let's investigate slowly. He will be restless all day long."

Yang Jing snorted slightly in his nostrils, then covered the warm teacup and drifted away.
