Chapter 355: Suppressing the Rong Army

Su You looked at Liu Canjun and smiled subtly: "If Canjun feels that I have mishandled my handling, you can go to the Shaanxi capital transfer envoy Xue Gong to explain it to you, but now..."

He lowered his head and swishly signed the dossier and said to the people in the hall: "Last year, during the war, the local officials were afraid of affecting their performance evaluation, so they did not report to the court to reduce or reduce your rent. That was a dereliction of duty by the local officials and a mistake by the court."

"Now that I'm here, I should correct myself."

"There are many measures to be taken next. You all need to go back to your hometown and organize your farming tools. Within the next few days, the announcement will come out. Let's go!"

As if they had received sweet rain, everyone knelt down and kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic. The little noble Qingtian and the great master all shouted indiscriminately.

Su You was shocked: "If you don't leave, I will delay the handling of the case and make a fuss in the government office to discuss the crime! Didn't you see there are so many files here?! Do you really think I can't show my official authority?"

The empty threats were of no use, the people bowed again and again and waited for a while before leaving.

Su You put his hand on his forehead: "You've let me go and you still haven't left. I haven't learned how to be a thief yet!"

Of the more than 300 people left, half were in arrears with rent. This person was in charge of the transport envoy of Suyou State. He also called people together, wrote down the rent and taxes owed, and said, "No one can escape."

, all must be returned after this year! Go home quickly and prepare for farming. We will notify each township in a few days of what to do."

An old farmer begged with a grimace: "Young officials, it's not that we are lazy, it's just that we don't have any cattle or seeds. Besides, we've missed planting wheat now. It's easy to prepare a hoe and bucket, but what can we plant?"

Su You was shocked again: "Where is all this nonsense?! Just prepare as you say, the seeds will arrive in a few days! Why don't you bother to keep eating in prison for a few more days, waiting for the seeds to arrive?"

On the other hand, the son of an old farmer quickly grabbed the old man and said, "I'm sorry, little official, but my father is old and confused..."

Su You flipped through the files and said in a sinister tone: "Old man Feng, right? He's still an upright man. I've remembered you and will be inspecting your farm in a few days... If you fool me, hey hey.

You know the consequences..."

The old man was frightened, turned around and ran away, and the rest also dispersed with a cry.

Su You was very satisfied with the effect this time and said to Cai Que: "I can't stand it by roaring, but I can do it by laughing sinisterly. I still have some official authority, huh?"

Cai Que didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He cupped his hands and said, "Mingrun, you... er, the prefect... are so powerful!"

The rest was the real lawsuit, and Su You became serious about it.

Most of them were fine, but a case of gathering a crowd to commit robbery made Su You frown: "Who recorded this file?"

Judiciary Joining the Army had just suffered a defeat. For fear of getting burned on his head, he quickly handed over his hand and said, "Prefect, this is the responsibility of a lower official."

Su You picked out the dossier and pushed it to Cai Que: "Don't drive, just take a look."

Cai Que took it over and said, "The work was done very carefully. He also wrote down the clothes and weapons used by each of them when they were captured... Hmm? There were three people wearing single clothes at the time? Go and call these three people."

After a while, three people came over, with disheveled hair and shackles on their hands and feet.

Cai Que said: "Being a bandit is a serious crime. This is the new governor of the state. You should tell him..."

The three of them knelt down and kowtowed: "You are wronged, officer. The three of us are really wronged..."

Cai Que said: "Don't just shout about injustice, talk about the situation that day."

The three people kept talking, saying that they were only sleeping that night. As a result, strongmen came into the village and grabbed them from their beds. They were then taken out of the village without explanation, gave them sticks, and then forced the three of them to join the gang.

As a result, he was caught by the patrol before he could escape.

Cai Que said with a smile: "The prefect's eyes are indeed sharp, and he can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with this file. It is winter, and if the three of them are really bandits, they should be dressed the same as the others."

"The file says that these three people came from the same village, and they were undressed when they committed suicide. Naturally, they were caught in their sleep and coerced into joining the gang. They were so panicked that they didn't even have time to put on their clothes."

Su You smiled and said: "So, I will check it out with the manager later and handle it in accordance with the law."

Cai Que held up his hands and said, "That's how it should be."

Su You pushed another file over: "Don't drive, let's take a look at this again."

Cai Que looked at it and said: "There are also doubts about this case. Liu A and Zhao B are enemies. Liu A was sleeping at home at night, and Zhao B sneaked into the house and hurt him. The person who reported the case was Liu A's wife, and she said it was Zhao Yi who did it."

Su You said: "Then when Zhao Yi was arrested, the Zhao family boy handed over a knife and said he found it in the Zhao family's woodshed."

Cai Quedao: "The problem is that when sleeping at night, the husband and wife should be together. The file says there are blood stains on Liu Jia's body, on the bed, and even in the house, but not on Liu's wife."

Su You said: "The knife that the boy from the Zhao family handed over was a scribe's knife. Although it belonged to Zhao Yi, if you want to throw it away, why don't you find a well or a roadside ditch or a cesspit? If you want to take it with you,

Come on, why didn’t you take it into the study room but throw it into the woodshed?”

After saying that, between the words Liu’s wife and Zhao’s young man, he drew a horizontal line with his fingernail: “This is more reasonable.”

Su You smiled and said: "Do you know where the biggest irrationality is?"

Cai Que read the file again: "The lower official is stupid, but there is no other discovery."

Su You said: "Don't drive, jump out of the file and look at it again."

Cai Que was like a glass ball, laughing loudly: "I understand, the prefect is very worried."

Su You then said to the manager, Jiangjun: "There are serious doubts about this case. I will have a lot of things to do next. You and Cai Biejia will handle this matter together. If there is anything, please communicate more."

"That's it for today. It's almost time. Let's go."

When everyone left the office, Cai Que said with a smile: "Mingrun, I'm afraid there will be many people visiting tonight."

Su You said: "Liu joins the army and wants to kill us and shows off his power; Ma joins the army and takes care of things clearly, but only digs holes without filling them..."

After speaking, he spread his hands and said: "Brother Shi is a very sensible person. No wonder Ambassador Xue Duyun has a special regard for Brother Shi. From now on, I will leave the government affairs of Weizhou City and the public affairs to you. I will only focus on agriculture, commerce and military affairs."

.”

Cai Que was shocked and confused, and couldn't understand what Su You meant. No state official in the Song Dynasty would delegate power to Tong Fan like this.

Su You said: "Don't look at me like this. Next, in Weizhou, even if one person is broken into five, it won't be enough. The money of the envoy of the governor of Weizhou will also be given to you. I won't take out a penny from it, it will all be allocated to you. This way

Are you feeling a little down?"

Cai Que hurriedly left his seat and bowed respectfully: "I am deeply grateful to the eunuch for trusting and caring for me so much. I will definitely do my best to assist the eunuch."

Su You said: "The imperial court's little money for envoys may not be enough. In this way, you have to make a budget, plan your monthly expenses, and consider things in advance. If it is not enough, you can come back to me. These days

I have to leave the city one day to meet the people I need to meet."

Cai Que asked: "I don't know who Ming Gong wants to see?"

Su You smiled: "Do more things and less flattery. Brother Shi, you don't have to be like this. You can call me Mingrun or Taishou, it's just a title."

"Now it seems that those who joined the army are not fuel-efficient."

"But it doesn't matter, I will let them know what it means to conquer ten societies with one force. In Weizhou, if you don't go to Zhongjia to pay homage to the dock, I'm afraid everything will be difficult. So tomorrow I will go to Zhenrongjun and see Lord Xiaoyin.

Ask him what he means by taking time out of Weizhou."

"Weizhou is short of people now. So the big principle is still the same, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. You can control this degree, as long as it is not too excessive, the kind of anger and anger, special treatment in special times, do you understand what I mean?"

Cai Quenan smiled and said: "Xiaguan understands, isn't this the kind of person Xiaguan is..."

Su You was happy: "To put it bluntly, we are poor. Don't worry, I, Su Mingrun, can't do anything else. Leading people out of poverty is a job I've already done!"

…

It snowed heavily the next day, so Su You called Zhang Qi and prepared to go to suppress the Rong army.

Zhang Qi looked at the sky and said worriedly: "Master, is this weather really going to happen?"

Su You patted the down blanket on Qian Maochi's body, and then patted the robe on Zhang Qi's body: "I've already informed others, aren't you wearing a down jacket, are you still afraid of this bit of snow?"

Zhang Qi smiled and said: "What am I afraid of? If I catch a cold, my young lady will take care of me and give me medicine and eggs."

The two men fastened their hoods and mounted their horses, exited the north gate of Weizhou and marched towards the Zhenrong Army.

The Zhenrong Army was at the foot of Liupan Mountain. There was a natural danger here called Long Mountain.

Long in the land of Qinlong means earth ridge in Guanxi dialect.

The line of Liupan Mountain is like a ridge that suddenly rises eight hundred miles north of Qinchuan. This ridge is very similar to the ridge in the farmland in the Guanzhong area, so it is called Longshan, which is the watershed of Jingshui River and Weishui River.

Wearing masks, the two people ran all the way from the plains to the hills, and then the terrain started to get steeper.

At almost noon, a checkpoint appeared in the valley ahead. This was Longguan where the Zhenrong Army was located.

On the right side of the level is a large earthen city. The guards on the top of the city waved red flags, and then on the arrow towers on both sides, two large crossbows shone with cold light, and their arrows were pointed at Su You and Zhang Qi.
