Chapter 3 3. Zhang Chang's robbery

After Yang Yun's death, there was another earthquake in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty.The group of ministers in long robes held a meeting and concluded that everyone felt that the fight was not enough, Yang Yun was outrageous, and his best friend was not a good thing, so grab them and fight. Who is Yang Yun's best friend?It was Jingzhao Zhangchang, who took the place of his wife's thrush, and when he went to Zhangtai Street and met prostitutes, he showed a flirtatious appearance.Zhang Chang loves to go shopping in Zhangtai Street, Yang Yun loves to spend money, the two have similar interests and have always been good friends.

It's not surprising that people want to open the whole sheet.So far, Zhang Chang has been sitting on the position of mayor of Chang'an for nine years, and has been lingering.If you don't move, others will have no chance, so others have to use their hands to lift you from the stage. This is really an eventful time, Zhao Guanghan, Han Yanshou, Yang Yun, the dominoes fall, will Zhang Chang be the fourth to fall? Hanging, really hanging. Seeing that Zhang Chang is about to be caught out, doesn't he have a brother in the officialdom to say a few words?There are brothers, but no one dares to hum.

As mentioned earlier, Zhang Chang has two good friends, one is Xiao Wangzhi and the other is Yu Dingguo.Just when Xiao Wangzhi was frustrated, he was teaching the prince to read!No mind to toss.Yu Dingguo is now the Minister of Justice. He is in charge of arresting people. He should be able to speak up, but he still keeps his mouth shut. In fact, it's not that Yu Dingguo didn't want to say it, but he didn't dare to say it.You know, the officialdom of the Han Dynasty is like a rivers and lakes, with swords, swords and shadows, in a mess.If you want to go up to persuade a fight, you may even have to risk your own life.

Isn't Yang Yun a typical case?Back then when Han Yanshou and Xiao Wangzhi were fighting to the death, Yang Yun wrote a letter recklessly and said a few words for Han Yanshou.As a result, the person was not rescued, and he was included in it.When the enemy Dai Changle sued him, he also charged him with what he said when he saved Han Yanshou! After such a calculation, Zhang Chang wanted to escape from this catastrophe, how difficult it is!It seemed that he had no choice but to wait to be hacked. Sure enough, all the ministers wrote letters to impeach Zhang Chang.At the same time, rumors about Zhang Chang were flying all over the sky, and Chang'an was spreading rumors that Zhang Chang was about to fall, and he couldn't hold on for a few days.

The rumors outside spread vigorously, and Zhang Chang knew about it.But he seemed to be deaf, pretending he didn't hear anything, with a handsome appearance, going to and from get off work, still the same. Once Zhang Chang is confident, some people will feel depressed.Depressed people, of course, are those who want to fight with Zhang Kai.Soon, they discovered that the impeachment memorials were sent up one after another, but there was no movement at all in the palace. What exactly is going on? In fact, those who sued Zhang Chang didn't know that they wanted to fight, but some people really didn't want to see them fight.That person, of course, is Liu Bingji.

Think about it, why Zhao Guanghan was punished to death was because he was so arrogant that he didn't pay attention to Wei Xiang, and even brought people to the house to hack and smash.As for Han Yanshou, he was very low-key, but his fate was not very good. He was bitten by Xiao Wangzhi.Yang Yun just doesn't know the rules, what's not good to learn, and he wants to imitate Sima Qian's criticism of the emperor. As for Zhang Chang, he doesn't seem to have any grudges against anyone, so why should he punish him?Liu Bing already has a bottom line in his heart.People don't like Zhang Chang because of his frivolous appearance, drawing eyebrows for his wife, and getting angry when he sees a prostitute, disgusting.Because of this, people have impeached him many times before.Now, they insist on driving Zhang Chang out of office on the grounds of Yang Yun's cronyism.

Those people knew how to drive people away, but they never thought about it for the emperor. Can Chang'an be opened up?Drive him down, start thieves again, who will clean up this mess.So, as soon as Liu Bingji thought about this, he suppressed all the memorials, and didn't express his opinion at all, making the group of people look at it and dance endlessly. To put it bluntly, Liu Bingji still didn't want to use Yang Yun's case to expand his scope of attack.It is not good to engage in class struggle all day long and lose work.To protect Zhang Chang is to protect Chang'an, which is to protect the work achievements of the Han Dynasty at this stage.

If you can toss less, you can do less toss, everyone should focus on work!I think this should be the sentence that Liu Bingji most wants to say in his heart. You don't know, Liu Bing already wants to protect Zhang Chang, Zhang Chang knows it, and Zhang Chang's political opponents also know it.But one person died without knowing what happened.That person is Zhang Chang's subordinate, a shameless villain. The person who doesn't know how to write the word "death" is Xu Shun, who was Zhang Chang's little secretary at that time.One day, Zhang Chang asked him to deal with a case. Uncharacteristically, he didn't take what the leader said to heart, and ran home to sleep halfway.

Zhang Chang was puzzled, so he had to send someone to call him back to work.Unexpectedly, the man yelled out of nowhere, "Did I do too little work for him before? Everyone in the city is saying that Zhang Chang is going to be dumped. He's doing a shit job!" The legendary idiom "Jing Zhao on the fifth day" came from the mouth of this villain.However, whether Zhang Chang is a "five-day Jingzhao" is not determined by outsiders, and Zhang Chang himself does not count, only one person has the final say. That person, of course, is Emperor Liu Bingji.So far, Liu Bingji has said nothing, whether Zhang Chang will go or stay, only God knows.Unexpectedly, before the gongs and drums stopped, someone was eager to tear down the stage.Who do you think you are, a small person, dare to tear down my Zhang Chang platform.Even if I'm only the five-day Jingzhao, I still want to let you know if the five-day Jingzhao is something you can bully casually.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, the boy's words were immediately passed on to Zhang Chang, and when he heard it, he immediately became angry.So, Zhang Chang sent someone to arrest the little guy, and threw him into prison without any ceremony. The darkness of ancient Chinese justice is far beyond the imagination of modern people.We also know that Zhang Chang is famous all over the world for "cracking down on gangsters". It is too childish for an old hand like him to play tricks in the underworld and create an unjust prison. At that time, it was already winter.According to the law of the Han Dynasty, to kill someone, it must be before the beginning of spring.That Xu Shun, Zhang Chang is determined not to let him live until next spring.Ever since, he sent people to torture him day and night to make the villain confess his guilt.It doesn't matter what crime you plead, as long as you are willing to nod and sign the woven crime.

Finally, the kid couldn't take it anymore and confessed. After the verdict was written, Zhang Chang smiled smugly, and he sent someone to send a note to the kid, which read: Five-day Jingzhao, how powerful is it?Are you afraid of death now?Winter is coming to an end, do you want to live a few more days?Spring is coming soon. The cruelest trick of fate is to throw you into a hopeless darkness, so that you suddenly see a glimmer of light, but when the light appears in front of your eyes, it turns out to be a beheading knife.Zhang Chang is torturing that kid with this, it is best to have a long memory, and when you have the opportunity to be a secretary in your next life, don't be arrogant and ignorant, and bully others indiscriminately. Before the beginning of spring, the boy was dragged out by Zhang Chang and chopped up.As soon as someone was beheaded, spring came, and the Central Justice Department routinely went to the local area to inspect the case.Unexpectedly, Zhang Chang was sued again. It was Xu Shun's family who sued Zhang Chang.They actually carried Xu Shun's dead body and took the note that Zhang Chang had passed on to the deceased, and ran to the inspector of the Central Justice Department to file a complaint.With all the witnesses and material evidence, Zhang Chang couldn't run away now.Sure enough, officials of the Ministry of Justice immediately went up to impeach Zhang Chang for abusing his power and killing innocent people indiscriminately. The memorandum was sent to the palace immediately, Liu Bing had already seen it, and was dumbfounded. One wave is not smooth, and another wave is rising, Zhang Chang, you really feel that you have a long life!People shouted to dismiss you as an official, I finally suppressed the memorial, but you actually made another murder case, how should we deal with it now? yes!How to clean up?The two memorials were piled up together, Zhang Chang thought that Yang Yun, who had been a ghost for a long time, might not believe it if he didn't get knocked down. However, there is always an exception to everything, and miracles still happen. Not long after, Liu Bing called Tingwei Yu Dingguo and said, "Last time someone reported Zhang Chang to me because of Yang Yun's matter, and the memorial is still with me. How about it, you first Take these memorandums to file a case and deal with him." Yu Dinghui nodded in agreement.Liu Bingji went on to say: "That's it! If you have nothing to do, go back first!" Yu Dingguo was taken aback, didn't Zhang Chang still have a murder case?Why do you still confess to deal with it together?Suddenly, Yu Dingguo understood, oh, so it is. What is it like? Still the same sentence, Liu Bingji still didn't want to kill Zhang Chang. After thinking about it, everyone knew that if Liu Bing wanted Yu Dingguo to deal with Zhang Chang's murder case, Zhang Chang would definitely pay for his crime with his life.Zhang Chang's two major cases, it is unreasonable to try to cover them up, so he had to settle for the next best thing, and get rid of the previous impeachment involving him and Yang Yun.That matter, at most, was dismissal from office, but he lost his official position and survived. As long as life is alive, what are you afraid of!As the so-called "keep the green hills there, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood", once the limelight passes, Zhang Chang can still come back.What is it called?It's called avoiding the heavy and taking the light.High! Now, Zhang Chang really has nothing to sing.Liu Bing looked like he was doing business, so he was dismissed, and at the same time sent someone to tell him that it was best to send the official seal to Weiyang Palace as soon as possible. When Zhang Chang heard it, he narrowed his eyes and tightened his ears.What next?After handing in the official seal, should I report to the prison? Zhang Chang's heart was clenched tightly, he was afraid that some explosive words would come out of the central envoy's mouth.But he waited for a long time, but he clapped his hands and left.Zhang Chang was taken aback for a moment, and handed in the broken official seal, so nothing happened? But people didn't say anything was wrong, and they didn't say nothing was wrong. It was really scary.Zhang Chang's heart thumped involuntarily, he was now a dog in the water, and based on his understanding of the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, it was impossible for them to let him go.Then what should I do, without a public office, without any defense, I can't just wait to be bitten by those mad dogs! Immediately, another thought flashed through Zhang Kai's mind: I can't afford to offend, so I can afford to hide!run!Run away first. Thinking of this, Zhang Chang picked up his robe, rolled up his official seal and rushed to the north gate of Weiyang Palace, handed over the trash, and then ran to his hometown to hide. As soon as Zhang Chang ran a hundred times, several months passed.During those few months, the whole family was in fear, as if the eggs hanging on the tree were about to be blown off by the wind at any moment, and they would turn yellow. Thanks to the emperor's blessing, after escaping, it seems that no mad dog was chasing after him, and the days finally passed without any danger. How long will this kind of life of stepping on a tightrope last?Zhang Chang didn't know, and the whole Zhang family was even more uncertain, anyway, just wait!Whether it is a curse or a blessing, there will always be an answer. The answer will be revealed soon. One day, the Zhang family suddenly panicked, and then someone cried, leading the whole family to cry.They endured it for a long time, always thinking that Zhang Chang escaped the first day of junior high school, maybe he could escape the fifteenth day of the junior high school, but they still couldn't escape the death calamity.Because they heard that the emperor suddenly sent an envoy to take Zhang Chang away. At that time, before the emperor's envoy arrived at the door, Zhang Chang couldn't help laughing when he saw the whole family crying.Zhang Chang laughed wildly, and cried even harder on the other side.At this time, Zhang Chang smiled and shouted: "Don't cry, get up quickly and get ready to welcome the guests, I will be reappointed." No one believed Zhang Chang's nonsense at all, and everyone in the Zhang family continued to cry.At this time, Zhang Chang laughed again: "You guys are still crying! Why don't you pat your head and think about it, if the emperor wants me to die, it is enough to send an arrester. The special envoy came today, it must be I'm going to be used." Zhang Chang's words awakened the dreamer, yes!The arrival of the emperor's envoy might be a good thing! Zhang Chang is indeed an old Jianghu!The emperor sent an envoy, and he really used him, not to take his head.The reason why Liu Bingji wanted to use him was really because he couldn't find a decent person to do what Zhang Chang had done - catching thieves. To the bandits in Chang'an, Zhang Chang was Yama, and they were nothing but imps.King Yama was gone, and the little ghost came out to make trouble.Ever since Zhang Chang misunderstood Na Jingzhao, Chang'an has been in chaos.The work efficiency of officials has declined, thieves are everywhere, and the alarm drums for catching thieves are broken and useless.This is not the most serious thing. It is said that the thieves in Jizhou simply jumped up and openly confronted the government. These thieves!It's just too defiant; but these thieves are simply my dead brothers!Without you, how could the emperor think of me, Zhang Chang? Without you, would I, Zhang Chang, still be able to survive? Think about it too, once a person has two brushes, he is not afraid of losing his future.When Zhang Chang was let go by the emperor, he knew that one day he would make a comeback.However, this time Liu Bingji did not ask Zhang Chang to come back and continue to be his Jingzhao, but sent him to the place where he was most needed in the motherland.That place is Jizhou. However, after Zhang Chang came to Chang'an, he was not in a hurry to go to work, but first settled the murder case that made his whole family feel unsafe.Of course Zhang Chang also knew that to bargain with the emperor, he had to strike while the iron was hot.Ever since, he wrote a letter to Liu Bingji, defending himself from murder. After the statement of defense was delivered, Liu Bing already interviewed Zhang Chang.The emperor was very honest, and never mentioned Zhang Chang's murder, and directly named him the governor of Jizhou, and let him concentrate on catching the robbers. Due to the terrible domino effect, Zhang Chang finally escaped.
