Wan Zhang was eighteen or nineteen years old, his arms were very thin, but his hair was neatly combed, and he was tied, if it weren't for the broken bridge of his nose and the missing front teeth, he would have laughed like an honest child.Just looking at his appearance, I am afraid that everyone will think that this is an ordinary young man in the market, but in fact, he is one of the famous thieves in Chang'an, known as "Wanzixia in the west of the city".Wan Zhang was born in Liushi, and has been in the densely populated nine cities since he was a child, and his most proud hand is that when Yuanfeng was in the fifth year, near the spice shop of Hou's family in Xi'an, he stole the coat of the Hou Hou and Wuji Lieutenant Han Dangdang.In addition to money and a few packets of cumin spices, there was also a letter written to Han Dangdang in the name of Zhao Han'er, the Marquis of Tangyi.Wan Zhang left the money but stuffed the letter into the crack of the door of the Hou family incense shop in Xi'an by night, and afterwards the thieves of Chang'an were drunk and bragged, and when they talked about seniority, Wan Zhang's thieves boasted about the matter, so they brought "fame" to Wan Zhang, and became a famous thief who "thieves also have a way".But it was also this ruined reputation that caused him to enter the "tiger's den" set up by Zhao Jingzhao.The so-called tiger's den, because the Chang'an Mansion Prison is not enough to imprison the light chivalrous and evil boys who have been arrested, Zhao Guanghan then sent people to dig many deep holes outside the gate of Chang'an Temple, each several zhang deep, and the soil taken out was built around the earthen wall, and soldiers were sent to defend it, and all the people captured in this cleaning were put into it.It is said that more than 300 deep pits were dug, and 10 people were stuffed into each pit, and they were denied food, and Lasa slept in them, and now they are all stinking.Although Wan Zhang is a thief, he is a decent person, and he has never lived such a filthy life when he is at his worst, and a Wuling boy in a pit is also pampered, so he can't stand it anymore, while hiding from the pulled by the person next to him, scolding and scolding in his mouth, all of them are the two robbers who caused this cleanup."
It's bad to rob anyone?
I have to rob the Lang official next to the Son of Heaven, this is a big disaster!
”That happened last month, and it was also the fuse of this crackdown, after the two thieves robbed Su Hui, they immediately alarmed Jingzhao Yin Zhao Guanghan, this Youzhou Zhao Zidu is also strange, personally deployed and commanded, found the thieves' den, and led his subordinates to surround them.But what should the other party do if they take hostages?
Du Zhou, the imperial historian of filial piety, made "Da Du Law", which clearly stipulates that all thieves who rob the hostage will be killed, and they shall not be redeemed for treasures and open a traitorous road!
, which means that it is better to kill the criminal and the hostage together than to redeem the traitor with money and property.But Zhao Guanghan, who was famous for his fierceness in Yingchuan County, took the initiative to negotiate with the thieves in the house this time, explaining that Su Hui was an official of the guards and a close minister of the Son of Heaven.Such leniency may be granted, and if you are lucky enough to receive a pardon, you may be able to exonerate the guilt.The two thieves were ordinary path-cutting thieves, and they didn't know Su Hui's identity when they robbed people.was immediately frightened, and really opened the door and kowtowed to confess, Zhao Guanghan actually knelt down and thanked: "Fortunately, all the living lang, very thick!"
”Later, he also fulfilled his promise to let the jailer treat the two well.But there is no escaping capital crimes, and the Han Dynasty treats the crimes of robbing people and plotting to rob people for money and property with extremely severe punishments, whether they are carried out or in the stage of "plotting", they are all punished - especially when you have no background.At the beginning of August, the two men were sentenced to death, and Zhao Guanghan prepared coffins and burial utensils for them. ”But if you think that this Jingzhao Yin is good, it would be a big mistake, and afterwards he still punished the two thieves' wives as Chengdan, and at the same time, with the support of the general and the Son of Heaven, he began to carry out a huge crackdown on Chang'an.Zhao Guanghan used his Yingchuan County's invention of the "缿筩" (xiàngyǒng), or whistleblower box, for Chang'an.One hundred and sixty Lu, one for each Lilu, let the officials and the people anonymously report the lawbreakers, and use the words of the Chang'an Light Heroes to make the factions of the heroes suspicious of each other, and the friends were dispersed.At the same time, find informants, arrange eyes and ears, and the whereabouts of thieves are mostly under their control.For example, a few days ago, several rogue teenagers in Chang'an City hid in a hidden empty room and tried to rob them, and before they could discuss it, Zhao Guanghan got a report in advance and sent someone to arrest them in one fell swoop.When the net was almost woven, at the beginning of August, Zhao Guanghan deployed Hu Cao, subordinate officials, as well as village officials, pavilion chiefs, Li Zheng, fathers and elders, and Wu Ren, and asked them to report the light teenagers and bad children who did not obey discipline in various parts of Chang'an City, and also checked all the young people wearing dangerous clothing, such as armor and arm clothing, and armed with swords, arrows and blades.In the end, hundreds of carriages and horses were prepared, and they were ordered to separate the arrests of those who were detected, and a total of 3,000 people were obtained!
Both good and bad have thrown themselves into this tiger's den."
If Naigong knew which little maid raised me and reported me, he would definitely ......"
Wan Zhang secretly hated in his heart, he knew that he must have been burdened by his reputation to end up today.At this time, the Wuling boy spoke again, which sounded like self-comfort."
My family is rich and called Yangling, and my family operates a little, and if I buy off the jailers who are good friends with my family, I will definitely be able to release me."
Since the death of Emperor Xiaowu, the era of Yizong, Zhang Tang, and Tyranno Shengzhi ruling Chang'an has also come to an end.The past twenty years have been the most nourishing time for the heroic and light heroes, and their children can be easily exempted from breaking the law, even if they kill someone!
As long as it is an ordinary person who dies, a little operation can get rid of the crime.Before Wan Zhang and the others could envy this Wuling boy, a depressed voice sounded in the corner of the tiger's den."
Don't think about it."
It was an old man with mud and on his beard, looking gloomy, and muttering, "I'm the jailer!"
”......
"Zhao Jingzhao is different from his predecessor. ”The old man, who claimed to be a jailer, talked about the horror of Zhao Guanghan."
The predecessors of Jingzhao were all alone, and they were blown away after a few months, but Zhao Jingzhao won the hearts of the officials."
Zhao Guanghan has always treated his subordinates kindly, attentively and thoughtfully, and recommended more, whenever he has merit, he always attributed it to his subordinates.The prison officials in Chang'an City, who were responsible for patrolling the thieves and managing the prison, were originally fighting food without rank, but Zhao Guanghan invited the general to raise his rank to 100 stones.Who doesn't love leaders with a salary increase?
This move made the grassroots civil servants miss Zhao Guanghan with gratitude, and everyone respected themselves, and they did not dare to bend the law and slack off like in the past."
And I was lucky, I accepted a bribe and wanted to exonerate people, so I was checked by Zhao Jingzhao and sent down to accompany you and wait."
After being hungry for two days, the old man's words were already a little confused: "Zhao Jingzhao is good at hook distance, finding out the secret case, so that people have nowhere to hide, where the thieves' lair in Chang'an City is located, the secret whereabouts of the folk heroes and the bribery of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he can always see everything through his ears, eyes and eyes and reasoning, so that there is nowhere to hide."
I can't hide anything from him, I can't hide it!
”"This person is really a great harm to Chang'an Light Heroes!"
Several evil teenagers in the same cave hated each other and began to discuss that if they could get out, they would send dead soldiers to assassinate Zhao Guanghan.This is a group of professional killers who assassinate people to make money, and Wan Zhang has heard of how they operate.At that time, the princess's lover Ding Wairen once hired someone to kill a Jing Zhaoyin, and a group of street evildoers determined the division of labor in the form of catching projectiles, and those who caught red pills attracted soldiers, those who caught black pills cut scribes, and those who caught white pills handled funerals for their killed accomplices in action.Every after dusk, they come out to kill people, kill and wound people in the streets, and beat drums and call the police all night.But Wan Zhang knew that this group of people were all small people on the periphery, and those masterminds had already been imprisoned separately.Of these 3,000 people, each of them could not hide their crimes from Zhao Guanghan, he sent the officials to ignore them for several days, basically among the ten people, one was acquitted, one was taken away and executed, and the remaining eight were still locked up.The evil teenagers who plotted to assassinate Zhao Guanghan were also taken away, and Wan Zhang never saw them again.On the third day, when people began to die in the tiger's den, the officials took out the corpses, hung them on the wooden stakes at the temple gate, and wrote their names for public display.For a while, the relatives cried, the roads were all gone, and the song in Chang'an said: "What does Ann ask for the son to die?"
Huandong Children's Field.If you are not careful when you are born, how can you bury your bones after they are dry?
”But as far as their relatives are sad, most people in Chang'an Sanfu are happy to see it, but Chang'an at the feet of the Son of Heaven is the worst place for public security, ordinary people have long had enough, who wants to go to the street every day to a secluded place to be frightened.The small traders and people who have been bullied are even more shocked, these evil young men who have caused trouble in Chang'an, it is best to clean them all!
On the fourth day, as the autumn tiger descended on Chang'an, the smell of urine and urine in the tiger's den became more and more intense, and everyone was almost out of breath, leaning against the wall weakly, and no one was willing to speak anymore.It was only then that the officials carried the half-dead people out of the tiger's den—most of the weak were dead, and the rest were hard-hitting.The officials were very rude, ordered everyone to take off their clothes, carried wooden buckets of water to wash away the filth from their bodies, and then distributed rough but clean clothes, let them drink a meal of gruel, and pulled them back from the edge of the yellow spring.Then Chang'an Cheng came to lecture the people who were still alive: "You should have been beheaded in Dongshi for your crimes, but you were pardoned by the Son of Heaven, and the good family was willing to reform themselves without being killed, and migrated to Beiting to serve for five to ten years, and you can get away with it when you reach the time or make meritorious service!"
”Isn't this a convict?
The young men of the light and evil spirits spoke again with the strength to speak, and whispered, "Where is the North Garden?"
”"Where General Anxi is, I heard that it is farther than the Western Regions.""
There are rumors in the market that the North Courtyard is fertile ......"
"You also believe it!"
Chang'an is in the middle of the world, and the farther you go, the more barren it becomes. ”"I'd rather die in Chang'an than go to the land of Rongdi to live."
As soon as they thought of going to suffer thousands of miles away, the people around Chang'an, who had basically never left Chang'an since they were born, were full of reluctance, and there were few responders, and they preferred to be a city leader near Chang'an.Chang Ancheng also shook his head, these are all criminals or quasi-criminals, from the perspective of cool officials, it is most convenient to destroy them physically, or disperse and exile.Now they all have to be sent to Beiting, not to mention whether they can listen to Xi'anhou's orders with peace of mind in the future, even if they are along the way, there is no guarantee that everyone will not escape!
If it is to follow Chen Shengwu Guang's example, what should the counties along the way do?
This purge of the folk light chivalrous evil boy affected Sanfu, and the light chivalrous evil boy of Right Fufeng and Left Feng Yi was also taken to Chang'an, with a total of more than 5,000 people.In order to escort them, I am afraid that 5,000 soldiers will have to be sent, and the cost of money and food will be no less than that of a small war.Thinking so, Chang Ancheng told the young men that there would be a Venerable One to talk to them later.In fact, Chang'an Cheng didn't know who it was, thinking it was Jing Zhaoyin or a certain general."
It can't be General Huo in person."
The light heroes also speculated that the old jailer who was thrown into the tiger's den for bribes was not dead, so joking.And when the guard of honor and the six white horses of the Yellow House arrived, the old jailer was shocked and fell to his knees.The young men of Wuling, who have a wide range of knowledge, also knelt down one after another, and they boasted that they would not bend their waists to 2,000 stones on weekdays!
Wan Zhang was stunned in place, until he was pulled by the person next to him, he bowed his head, just after the rain wet ground, Wan Zhang wiped the muddy water on his lips, it was indeed the smell of earth, all this is true.Then Wan Zhang, together with the five thousand light chivalrous and evil young men present, all blushed, excited and ashamed, looking at the "Venerable" who got off the Jin Gen car, the emotions in his heart were indescribable.These people who treat crimes, the life of ants, how can they be, they actually alarmed the emperor of the Han Dynasty!
…… PS: The second chapter is in the evening.There are many treacherous people in Chang'an, and the young people in Luli kill the officials, and they are revenged, and they are bombed with the pills, and those who get the red pill cut the military officials, those who get the black pills cut the civil officials, and the white ones are the main funeral.The twilight dust in the city rises, robbers, dead and wounded, and drums are endless.- Hanshu.
