Chapter 12 Armed Prisoners
Guangdefang, Yongzhou Gongyi.
Xu Jingzong, magistrate of Chang'an County, arrived in a scarlet robe with a silver bag, and a young man took the clothes and led him into the government to work in Shi Gaoshilian's public house.
Xu Jingzong bowed his hands deeply.
Gao Shilian is wearing a purple robe, with a belt around his waist, which is made of gold and jade. There are twelve locks on which he wears seven things: a saber, a knife, a needle cylinder, a counting bag, a flint, and a millstone. In addition to the Lijue for untying hair knots and the Qibi needle for lettering, there is also a goldfish charm.
This is a belt that can only be used by senior officials above the third rank. Xu Jingzong looked down and saw that what he had was only a gold belt with ten locks. He secretly thought that although Gao Shilian was the grandson of Gaoyue, King of Qinghe in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was only a ruler of etiquette in the Sui Dynasty, and was later relegated to Jiaozhi as the head of a small county.
But he was lucky, his niece married Li Shimin, the king of Qin, so she naturally followed the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven. As soon as she entered the court, she became a history official in the administration of Yongzhou, and became a third-rank official.
Zhizhong engaged in history is also called Zhizhong. In fact, this is not the governor of Yongzhou Prefecture. Under Yongzhou Mu, there are two assistant officials, Yongzhou Biejia and Yongzhou Zhizhong.
Biejia was before Zhizhong, but now Biejia in Yongzhou is Yang Gongren, and Yang Gongren was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the general of the left guard and the general of the drum flag, and the military affairs of Liangzhou. At the beginning of the year, Emperor Li Yuan decreed that he should be sent to Yongzhou as an official, but yesterday, Yang Gongren asked for the order of the school secretary.
Yang Gongren is the emperor's man, he was originally the son of King Guan of the Sui Dynasty, and he holds multiple positions. Now he is the order of Zhongshu, the Minister of the Ministry of officials, the general of Zuowei, and the drum of one of the twelve ways of Chang'an. General Banner is also in charge of military affairs in Liangzhou, so the added Yongzhou Biejia is also in charge of remote control.
Yongzhou No. 1 and No. 2 executives only took their posts remotely, so that the actual presiding power of Yongzhou Prefecture fell to No. 3 Yongzhou Zhizhong Gao Shilian.
Gao Shilian stood up to greet him.
Everyone is the Qin royal party, so he didn't show politeness to Xu, and asked straight to the point, "Is our little brother doing well in the Chang'an county government?"
"I came here precisely because of him. No wonder our little brother can be taken care of by the King of Qin himself. It's really amazing." Xu Jingzong said with a smile.
"Oh, what a surprise, he is only a sixteen-year-old boy, and he has only been a guard in the left guard for two years."
"It was the case of the servants of Guo Yuanwai's mansion poisoning the master and stealing that was handed down by Zhizhong. The bad commander in Chang'an searched for a whole day, but found no clues. But Qin Lang went out in person, and it took less than half an hour. This case will be solved." Xu Jingzong was still very shocked when he spoke, when Wei Chang and the others reported it, he couldn't believe it.
Gao Shilian couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard about it. This Northern Qi royal family was tall and tall, and he was also of barbarian blood, with a big beard. Qin Lang, the son of an upstart military strategist, didn't think much of it, but because the king of Qin had arranged for this young man to act as a liaison with Qin Qiong, so he specifically asked Xu Jingzong to take care of him.
Who knew, he could actually solve a major case that even a bad guy couldn't solve within an hour.
Now he became interested. Xu Jingzong, as the eighteenth scholar of the Qin Palace, has a very powerful mouth, but his tongue is like a lotus flower in a simple case, and the ups and downs are very exciting.
"Wei Chang brought the unscrupulous people to arrest the groom of Guo's mansion for interrogation. Sure enough, the groom had a ghost. The groom and the Silla servant Yusu had long planned to co-operate inside and outside to poison the master and steal the gold and silver kept by Yusu. The groom escaped. After torture, the groom learned that, After Guo Yuanwai was poisoned that night, the groom actually hid Yusu in the horse pen, and took her and gold and silver out of the mansion early the next morning in the carriage, and hid her in an empty house in Jinchengfang. Go out and cross the sea."
"What a pair of cowardly and lowly servant girls!" Gao Shilian said angrily.
"There is an inside story here. The groom used to have a wife who was taken by Guo Yuanwai because of her young beauty. The groom dared to be angry but dared not speak up. And the Silla maidservant Yusu was robbed and sold by the pirates of Silla. Tang, wanted to go back to Silla. Later, when the groom learned about this, he conspired with her. After the agreement was made, the two shared the spoils. The groom also helped Yusu contact the Silla businessman in Chang'an, and helped her return to her hometown. The matter was originally done seamlessly, but Qin Lang's eyes were so sharp that he saw it right away, and after he caught the groom, the case was solved immediately." Xu Jingzong said with a smile.
"This little brother is really impressive." Gao Shilian praised, "Both the groom of the Guo Mansion and the servant girl of Silla were killed in Dongshi!"
"Where is Yuanwai Guo?" Xu Jingzong asked.
The cause of this case was actually that Guo Yuanwai occupied and raped the servant's wife.
Gao Shilian shook his head, "Although Guo Yuanwai made a mistake first, but the law stipulates that a son sues his parents, a woman sues the dignitary, a slave and a maid sue the master, the master's parents and wife, don't listen, and those who abandon the lawsuit will do so. Don't be expensive, and don't be superior to the superior."
In the laws of the Tang Dynasty, slaves and maidservants are the same as livestock, and have no human rights. As long as the master's crime is not treason or rebellion, the slave is not allowed to sue the master, otherwise not only will he not have the merit of reporting, but he will also be sentenced to death by hanging.
It is not considered a crime for a male protagonist to have a relationship with a slave girl, regardless of whether the slave girl is voluntary or not. On the contrary, there is a special word for this kind of behavior called "fortune".
The groom of the Guo family is a slave of the Guo family, and his wife is also a slave. Therefore, even if Guo Yuanwai's behavior is somewhat immoral, the government cannot accuse him at the legal level, let alone punish him.
"Let's close this case." Gao Shilian said.
Xu Jingzong took a few steps forward, walked up to Gao Shilian, and looked around.
"Speak frankly, I don't have ears behind walls here, people outside are trusted people, and others can't get close to eavesdrop."
"Then let me just say that before I came, Qin Lang made a suggestion to me. He said that something big will happen in three days. Just in case, we in Yongzhou and Chang'an counties should make active preparations. He proposed to secretly arm the prisoners. Thought it was a dead man."
Gao Shilian couldn't help but took a deep breath.
Arming prisoners is tantamount to rebellion.
However, as the confidant of Qin Wang Li Shimin, Gao Shilian also knew what the situation was now, and he had indeed reached the point of death.
In Chang'an City, the Qin Palace can directly mobilize only 800 loyal and brave guards, which is too weak.
"Using prisoners?"
Xu Jingzong's eyes brightened, "I think Qin Lang's idea is good. There are prisons in Yongzhou Yamen and Chang'an County Yamen. There are quite a lot of people locked up in this prison, and many of them are felony death row inmates. These people are waiting Qiu Hou Wen is killed, if we give them a way to survive, they will definitely be willing to work hard."
The law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that only the execution of prisoners is allowed in the four seasons of the year, and the local death row prisoners are generally escorted to the Chang'an Ministry of Punishment for review.
This led to many prisoners in Chang'an City.
As the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty with a population of hundreds of thousands, the laws and prisons here are stricter, so more people are arrested.
"Qin Lang also said that when major events come together, go to the Yongzhou Yamen in Shiguangdefang and the Chang'an County Yamen in Changshoufang to open the prisons and release the armed prisoners. The inner garden in the north of Miyagi, rush to the rescue of Xuanwumen!"
Gao Shilian's expression moved.
"Xuanwu Sect? Did Qin Lang already know the plan of Xuanwu Sect?" He was speechless, "Unexpectedly, the King of Qin has already revealed such the most confidential things to him. It seems that this kid is really impressed by the King of Qin."
Xu Jingzong lowered his voice, "I think this plan is good. If there is a real change, Xuanwumen will be the main battlefield. Whoever can control Xuanwumen will have the last laugh."
The crown prince's elite Changlin army is stationed at the south gate of the East Palace, close to the imperial city, so it is unreliable to enter the palace from the front of the imperial palace, let alone from the south of the imperial city to the Taiji Palace, which is separated by the entire imperial city. Guards are strict.
Having said that, Xu Jingzong tapped the pine wood table lightly with his fingers.
"Qin Lang is very young, but he is also very bold. Through the case of Guo Yuanwaifu, I think this little brother is bold and careful. His plan is indeed very good, and it is worth a try. If these prisoners can be truly armed to wait for us It will be a great help, and it will be an unexpected new force."
Gao Shilian thought about the prisoners in the prisons of Yongzhou, Chang'an, and Wannian counties. Among them, there were many death row inmates, but there were also many minor criminals.
"The plan is good, but there are only three days left. How can we ensure that these prisoners will be driven by us? One more thing, how to organize them? After all, it is just a group of criminals. If there is no organization, it is just a mob. They would be willing to fight for a chance of survival, but most petty criminals are afraid that they will not take the risk of participating in a mutiny."
"More importantly, how do you get so much equipment in a short period of time?"
Gao Shilian asked, although the plan is good, if it cannot be implemented, it is just empty talk. In three days, it was extremely difficult to arm thousands of prisoners and enable them to fight.
"Qin Lang said that he can give it a try. Anyway, if he doesn't succeed, it won't affect the overall situation. If he succeeds, he will be able to add a force unexpectedly!"
"A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. It really dares to do things." Gao Shilian sighed. If Qin Lang made this request before Guo Yuanwai's case was solved, he would have rejected it without even thinking about it. But now, he is inexplicably right. Qin Lang, a young man, had some expectations.
Thinking of this, Gao Shilian couldn't help smiling.
"I will immediately ask King Qin for instructions. If His Highness agrees, then we will fully support him when the time comes. If His Highness disagrees, then let it go."
"Okay, I'll go back and tell Qin Lang." Xu Jingzong nodded.
