In 1114 AD, the famous Baihutang case in " Water Margin " was held in Kaifeng. Both the plaintiff and the defendant in this case invested their capital, but in the end they did not achieve their desired goals, but both lost. However, someone did benefit in this case, that is, the law enforcement officers who ate the plaintiff and the defendant.
Let's calculate the accounts, and calculate which law enforcement officers related to this case have benefited from it, and how much they have gained:
1, Kaifeng government staff more than 3,000 taels of silver
In "Water Margin", Lin Chong After being imprisoned, he didn't say the exact amount of money that Lin Chong's family used, but only wrote, "I came to deliver meals, and at the same time I used the money. Lin Chong's husband, Teacher Zhang, also came to buy and sue and use the money." It is difficult to say how much it cost. , you can refer to the details of how gave money after Wu Song was imprisoned:
section level: 1,200 taels
gave 1,200 taels of silver directly to Kang section level, but he was not in prison back. Shi En taught his family to go to prison and tell them.
"Water Margin" Chapter 29
Kongmu: One hundred taels
Shi En Xiang went out, went back to the camp, found another person who knew Ye Kongmu well, gave him one hundred taels of silver, Just ask for an early and urgent decision.
"Water Margin" 29th episode
Prisoner: thirty or forty two
The next day, Shien arranged a lot of wine dishes, which were very well prepared. He came to Yangkang to lead the festival and went straight to the prison to see Wu Song and meet him. meal. At this time, Wu Song had already been content with the Kangjie-level, and he had relaxed the punishment. Shi En took another thirty or twenty taels of silver and divided it among the small prisoners... After two days, Shi En prepared some food and money, and Yangkang led him into the prison at the festival level to talk to Wu Song. When they met, they waited for the wine tube, and shared some odds and ends of the money to make wine money with the crowd.
The twenty-ninth chapter of "Water Margin"
did a general calculation, and Shi En spent a total of about 300 taels of silver during Wu Song's time from the case to the result. You must know that Wu Song committed the crime of theft, and the plaintiff Zhang Dujian is only equivalent to a regiment-level cadre of the local armed forces department. Lin Chong committed the crime of eavesdropping on state military secrets and the crime of attempted assassination of the leader of the National Military Commission. Together, these two crimes were enough to kill him for fifteen minutes. Therefore, Lin Chong's family must have no less than three thousand taels of silver.
2, Criminal Police Dong Chao, Xue Ba One hundred and forty-two taels of silver
In this case, the biggest miscalculation of the plaintiff Gao Qiu is that he should not blindly believe that his power is enough to overwhelm everything. Before the trial of the case, he didn't think of sending someone to take care of it, so the verdict of the case was not ideal for him, so he "understood the reason and hindered the governor, so he had to make it." In order to kill Lin Chong, He had no choice but to pay for the police officers Dong Chao and Xue Ba who were escorting the prisoners. The plaintiff Lin Chong also spent a lot of money on Dong Chao and Xue Ba. Therefore, these two police officers got over seventy taels of silver each on their official duty to escort the prisoners:
Lin Chong's old husband gave twenty taels of silver.
had a few glasses of wine, and saw that Coach Zhang had already sent two of his escort workers with two silver coins.
The seventh chapter of "Water Margin"
The exact amount is not mentioned here, referring to Wu Song's distribution, Shi En "takes ten taels of silver and gives him two princes." It is estimated that Lin Chong's father-in-law will give at least 22 taels.
Lu Qian gave one hundred taels of wine
to several glasses of wine, the man went to his sleeve and took out 10 taels of gold and put them on the table, and said, "Two Duan Gong, each receiving 5 taels, some small things are annoying."
" According to the exchange rate at the time, the 10 taels of gold should be around 100 taels of silver, and the black market may be even more expensive.
Lin Chong treats five or two meals all the way
Lin Chong also unpacked the bag. Without waiting for the gentleman to speak, he went to the parcel to pick up some silver taels. The young man in the central store bought some wine and meat, brought some rice, arranged a plate of food, and invited the two guards to sit and eat.
...
When Lin Chong looked at it, his feet were covered with blisters, so he had to look for old straw sandals to wear. There was no choice but to put on new straw sandals. After asking the shop assistant to count the wine money, the two gentlemen took Lin Chong out of the shop, but it was the fifth watch.
"Water Margin" 7th episode
Lu Zhishen gave two or three taels
Lu Zhishen took out another twenty taels of silver and Lin Chong; put three two taels and two males, saying: "You two are on the road. I cut off your two heads, brother, I will spare you two bird lives. Now there is no more way to go, don't live with evil intentions!"
"Water Margin" 8th episode
Chai Jin gave fifteen taels
and called Zhuang The customer takes 12 taels of silver. will be out then. Chai Jin said to the two escorts: "Xiao Ke is bold, and the two of you will look down, and Quan will open the head of Lin teacher. In the prison camp tomorrow, but there are affairs, all on Xiao Ke's body. Silver 10 taels are sent to each other. "
...
sent silver five taels to two dudes and ate a night of wine.
"Water Margin" 8th episode
Cangzhou Prison: 123 taels for the difference, 5 taels for management
Originally, according to the prevailing price, this prison guard should be the same as the warden, each getting 50 taels. This is what Lin Chong's cellmate told him: "If you want to make a good time, the battalion officer will give him five taels of silver, and he will also have to give him five taels of silver. It's very good." Lin Chong knew how to do things, so he first took five taels Money to the messenger:
"My brother, it's a little polite, and the rest is mild."
messed up, and said, "You taught me to send Yuguanying and mine in there?"
Lin Chong said: "Just sending I have another 10 taels of silver for my brother, so please send my brother to take care of the camp."
After the eighth episode of "Water Margin"
, the messenger deducted 5 taels from the camp:
Five taels of silver were set aside, and only five taels of silver were sent to see the commander of the camp with a book.
"Water Margin" Chapter 8
Lin Chong got a good job, and gave another two or three taels:
Lin Chong said: "Thank you for taking care." He took another three or two taels of silver and the messenger, saying: "I'm sorry, brother. It’s better if you have a thorough shot, and it’s even better if you open an item.”
"Water Margin" Chapter 8
Later, Lu Qian gave the management and the escort a total of gold and silver. The exact amount is unknown, but he took so much silver. Mission and camp management did not get anything done. Not only burned the country's important materials, but also took his own life.
The Baihutang case cost at least 3,160 taels of silver in AD 1114, and this does not include normal expenses such as the case's litigation fees, the travel expenses of the public, and the fees of the prisoners' shackles, which are only the gray income of the officials. The number of 3,110 taels of silver is extremely large. Both " History of the Song Dynasty " and "Tongjian of Renewal of Funds" mentioned that since the Zhenzong Dynasty, due to the small stock of silver, the price of silver continued to rise, basically 2,000 pieces. The above copper coins are worth one tael of silver. According to the records in the Records of Food and Goods in the History of the Song Dynasty that "before Xi and Feng, the rice and stones were only six or seven hundred" and the records in the Records of the Officials of the History of the Song Dynasty that "each bucket (rice) is worth thirty cents of money", with two thousand Calculated by converting copper coins into one tael of silver, the price of rice at that time required three to six hundred copper coins for one stone of rice, and one tael of silver could basically buy four to eight stones of rice. Two silvers are equivalent to more than one thousand yuan, and three thousand one hundred and sixty taels of silver are three hundred and one160,000 RMB, which is comparable to the public figure of corruption by some cadres who have been brought to justice.
Many characters in "Water Margin" have a criminal history, so a group of staff members of the Zhao and Song Dynasty judicial system are involved. What is absurd is that many of these staff members who ignored national laws and acted indiscriminately later went to Liangshan and became "Liangshan heroes", which makes people wonder what the standard for measuring heroes is.
Let's first take a look at the representative figures who work in the public security department.
introduced Lei Heng in the book: "Originally, he was a blacksmith in this county; later he opened a barn, killing cattle and gambling; although he was loyal, he was only a little narrow-minded, and he also learned a good martial arts." The police who capture thieves and thieves get money from taxpayers of Zhao Song Dynasty, but they cannot be loyal to their duties, but rely on the tertiary industry with the nature of underworld forces, such as "opening a barn, killing cattle and gambling". To make extra money, he also made friends with gangsters such as Dongxi Village, village tyrants , Chao Gai , and so on.
We have known since childhood that police uncles catch bad guys. Next, let's take a look at the bad guys that Uncle Lei Heng has caught.
Police Lei Heng appeared on the scene, just in time for Yuncheng County to crack down. The county order ordered him to lead 20 armed police on patrol. This kind of patrol is actually just a pretense. Through the patrol, these people came to the mountain of Dongxi Village, picked a batch of red leaves, and kept it as a souvenir. On the way back,
met a suspicious person at Lingguan Temple .
saw a big man sleeping naked on the offering table. It was hot again, and the man made a piece of tattered clothes as a pillow and put it under his neck, and fell into a deep sleep on the offering table.
Lei Heng looked at it and said, "It's so weird! The county magistrate is so godly! It turns out that this Dongxi Village is really a thief!" He shouted. The man was about to struggle, but twenty soldiers marched forward together, tied the man with a rope, pushed him out of the temple gate, and threw a Baozheng Village up.
"Water Margin" Chapter 12
Without any evidence of a crime, if you say that you will arrest someone, aren't you afraid of wronging a good person? At least you should first see if this person has an ID card or a temporary residence permit. Police Lei Heng doesn't care about that. The reason for his arrest is "I don't think that fellow is a good gentleman". This matter can be seen just by looking at it, it's really a loss for people to see it without the eyesight.
After arresting the person, the policeman Lei Heng was not busy doing business, and he had to go to Baozheng in Dongxi Village to make a slap in the face. Chao Gai was woken up before dawn and asked Chao Gai to arrange a dinner. The reason is, "We tied the rope, and we were supposed to go to the county to see the official. One is too early, and the two also need to be taught to Baozheng, so that when the parents ask the official in the future, Baozheng will agree."
However, also Coincidentally, this time, Lei Heng happened to catch a key criminal— Liu Tang who planned to robbery. Lei Heng, a blind cat who met a dead mouse, would have made a great contribution. Chao Gai, Liu Tang and the two performed a play, and they came to the scene to recognize their relatives, and Lei Heng let them go. Of course, you can't let it go in vain.
Lei Heng let the man go and entered the cottage together again. Chao Gai took out a dozen taels of silver and gave it to Lei Heng, saying: "Toutou, Hugh is too slight, I hope you will give me a smile." Lei Heng said, "It's not right to do this. ." Chao Gai said: "If you don't accept it, you're a villain." Lei Heng said: "Since it is to protect the integrity and kindness, you have the right to accept it. It will be repaid another day." Chao Gai asked the Han to thank Lei Heng. Chao Gai took some silver taels and rewarded the soldiers before sending them out of the village.
The thirteenth episode of "Water Margin"
The truth is probably this: Lei Heng arrested Liu Tang and then went to Chao Gai, hoping that Liu Tang and Chao Gai would get to know each other. Because of completing a crackdown target, the government may not have many bonuses. If Liu Tang and Chao Gai knew each other, in order to redeem people, Chao Gai would pay a fine.
In Yuncheng County, the police officer Lei Heng who eats both black and white can be said to be domineering. Eat Bawang meal, get Bawang silver, and watch Bawang drama.
Bai Xiuying held a plate and went to Lei Heng first. When Lei Heng went to touch the bag beside him, he didn't want to see anything.arts. Lei Heng said: "I forgot today, I didn't bring some out, and I will reward you tomorrow." Bai Xiuying smiled and said, "'The vinegar is not too thin. Lei Hengtong blushed and said, "I couldn't bring it out for a while, but I couldn't bear it." Bai Xiuying said, "Since the official is here to listen to the song, why don't you remember to bring the money out?" Lei Heng said: "I will reward you three times. Five taels of silver, it doesn't matter, but I hate that I forgot to bring it today."
"Water Margin" 50th episode
Logically, to watch a movie and buy a ticket, how much money should be paid. Lei Heng, who has always been used to watching "Overlord Drama", has no habit of spending money to watch dramas at all. Maybe he didn't bring it that day, because as a policeman, he doesn't usually have to pay for food, drink and entertainment. I didn't expect to hit a nail in Bai Xiuying's performance.
Coincidentally, this Bai Xiuying was the mistress of the magistrate of Yuncheng County. With such a big backer, Bai Xiuying was naturally domineering and was finally beaten to death by Lei Heng in court.
It's a pity that the policeman who killed the leader's mistress did not get the government leader's advice, so he was sentenced by the government leader instead of being sentenced together with the government leader.
Let's take a look at the representative figures who worked in the prison department of the Zhao and Song Dynasty: Jiangzhou and the two courts held prison levels - Shenxing TaibaoDai Zong.
Dai Zong was first introduced by Wu Yong to Song Jiang on Liangshan, saying that it was his "favorite acquaintance", which shows that Dai Zong, a prison cadre, not only has black and white, but also has private connections with large-scale reactionary organizations.
Song Jiang met Dai Zong for the first time as a newly appointed prisoner. Song Jiang deliberately did not give the prison cadre a red envelope to reveal the true character of the prison cadre:
saw that section-level stool sitting in front of the hall, and shouted loudly, "Is that the newly assigned prisoner?" The head of the card pointed at Song Jiang Said: "This is it." Then he scolded: "You black dwarf killing talent, relying on whose power, don't you send regular money to come with me?" Song Jiang said: "'Human love and love, people are willing to do it? 'How do you extort money from people? You're so small!" The people watching from both sides heard it, and they sweated. The man was furious and scolded: "The thief goes with the army! An dare to be so rude, he said that I'm too small! That person who is carrying the bag, carry me! Let's beat this fellow with a hundred bullets!" He was on good terms with Song Jiang, and when he said he was going to beat him, he left with a rush, leaving only that section level and Song Jiang. Seeing that everyone had dispersed, the man became even more angry, picked up the baton, and rushed to beat Song Jiang.
"Water Margin" Chapter 37
For Dai Zong, the life of his prisoners is like a must, and he himself said that the result of a prisoner's life is "just like killing a fly". After he knew Song Jiang's identity, he turned into a fly-like face: "Frightened, I hurriedly bowed."
I have really seen a thick-skinned person, but I have never seen such a thick-skinned person.
The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. With such a cadre as the leader, the prison guards under him will not be a good thing.
black whirlwind Li Kui is one of them. According to Dai Zong, Li Kui "run away because he killed someone. Although he was pardoned, he lived in Jiangzhou and never returned to his hometown. Because of his poor drinking habits, people fear him. Boxing stick. See you in this prison today."
Dai Zong introduced these abilities of Li Kui, which one is the advantage?
If the recruitment of prison guards required exams, let's imagine how Li Kui passed the interview.
Examiner: "What education?"
Li Kui: "Niao Mao can't."
Examiner: "Are you married?"
Li Kui: "I don't plan to end it."
Examiner: "Why?"
Li Kui: "I heard Even if a prison guard gets married and has children, he doesn’t have an asshole, either!”
Examiner: “Have you ever had a fight?”
Li Kui: “Just killed someone.”
Examiner: “Why?”
Li Kui: "Gambling, I lost money, he has to ask for it."
Examiner: "How did you kill it?"
Li Kui: "With an axe, one chopped the head, another chopped the neck, and another chopped the arm. Go..."
Examiner: "Okay, okay, don't make any gestures."
Li Kui: (excitedly) "Another axe slashed his thigh, another axe..."
Examiner: "Your first axe is not good. Have you hacked people to death, and what are you going to do with these axes?"
Li Kui: "Oh—I don't know how to count."
Examiner: "Is your physical fitness?" Stun the prisoner."
Examiner: "Can I drink alcohol?"
Li Kui: "Drinking a punch can kill the prisoner."
Examiner: "What if something happened?"
Li Kui: "Just say yes Temporary workers."
Examiner: "What if someone was killed?"
Li Kui: "It's a small matter, but it's a big deal to get a medical certificate for mental illness."
Examiner: "You are hired, what our prison needs is Such talents!"
The prison is really full of talents, and another prison cadre who later joined Liangshan is also a talent - the Daming and the two courtyards are detained at the section level and serve as the executioner's iron armCai Fu.
Li Gu wanted to find Cai Fu plotting against Lu Junyi , first gave Cai Fu fifty taels of garlic bar gold. Although this amount of money is not a small amount, in the eyes of Cai Fu, who is used to receiving gray income, it is not a drop. Therefore, Cai Fu said with a high-sounding voice: "You don't see the engraving on the ring stone in the main hall, 'The commoners are easy to be abused. God is hard to deceive? 'I'm afraid I won't know about your deceitful deeds! You have taken possession of his home and got his wife, and now you have given me fifty taels of gold, which has cost him his life. I can't afford this kind of lawsuit!"
waited for Li Gu to add another fifty taels, Cai Fu's tone eased, and he made a direct bid: "Director Li, you're going to cut the cat's tail and mix it with the cat's rice. 'Beijing's famous Lu Yuanwai, is only worth one hundred taels of gold? If you want me to fall to the ground, it's not that I will deceive you, but only give me five hundred taels of gold!"
In Cai Fu's heart, five hundred taels Two pieces of gold can buy the life of an outsider, which means that he doesn't know how much black money he takes on weekdays.
After Li Gu gave the gold to Cai Fu, Cai Fu, who just kept saying that "the people are easy to abuse, the gods are hard to bully" got up and said, "Come and carry the corpse early tomorrow." "In less money.
What's even more dramatic is that Cai Fugang took Li Gu's five hundred taels of gold, and when he got home, he ran into Chai Jin, and the shot was one thousand taels of gold, on the condition that he rescued Lu Junyi.
has this thousand taels of gold, and Li Gu's five hundred taels will be in vain.
The next day, Li Gu didn't see any news and came to Cai Fu's house to urge him to merge. Cai Qing replied: "We were about to kill him, but Zhongshu Xianggong refused, and asked someone to pay him to save his life. You go to the top to use it and ask for it, why is it difficult for me here?" Li Gusui Both central people go to the above to use. The person who had money in the middle asked Liang Zhongshu to say, "This is a detainee's festival-level activity, can you teach me to do it? In a day or two, teach him to die."
"Water Margin" Chapter 61
is not the darkest, only darker. This is the "Song of Heartbroken Heart in Black Prison" of the Zhao Song Dynasty. Cai Fu is a native of Beijing, and he really should have learned the exclamation in " Selling Cloth Heads " full of Beijing rhythm: "You say my prison is so dark, why are you so dark? I'm so mad at Dai Zong, don't you? Let Li Kui, be so pissed that Cangzhou 's camp manager will give you a loss. Why is it so black? The plaintiff sent coal, the defendant sent coal, and the money came rolling in. I'm the big shopkeeper of the prison—"
