One hundred and ninetieth chapters of life
The Jingzhao Prefecture's trial was interrupted, and this kind of thing was not accidental. Someone who knew the inside story sneered, "I'm afraid that I'll use money again, and the lord will go back on his word in the hall. This Jingzhao Prefecture's court is really a big show."
Someone echoed: "Mr. Zheng has always been a thick-skinned person. If he has money, what is the difficulty of letting him swallow his words back? I just don't know who will make money in this case."
Ye Xingyuan looked at this farce, but he was ridiculous, but he suddenly changed again. He heard the people around him discussing, and he began to wonder, the victim of this life lawsuit was a scoundrel, so where would anyone give them money? Ye Xingyuan spent 300 taels of silver, which was enough to smooth out the matter. What could happen at this time?
After a while, the prefect Zheng came out and his attitude changed drastically, saying loudly: "There is even more strange in this case. Although I am judged by King Wen's gossip, it is not enough to decide the case. The plaintiff should go back first, and wait for the official to clarify the truth and retrial a day."
The case was not settled, and Li Cheng could not release it for the time being. Ye Xingyuan was full of questions. When he wanted to send someone to inquire, Master Liu had already asked someone to ask him to go to the back yamen to discuss. As soon as Ye Xingyuan entered the door, he saw Master Liu smiled bitterly and stepped forward to apologize and said, "Mr. Ye, I have a entrusted entrusted by him, and he had already made arrangements. Unexpectedly, another noble man intervened in the middle and lost his mind. He had to invite you to discuss it."
Ye Xingyuan was not sure, and his intuition was not a good thing, so he asked: "Master Liu said it when he had something to say. The case was clear and clear, but it was just a small matter. I wonder what changes would have happened?"
Less than two days after entering Beijing, Ye Xingyuan felt that he had been polluted by the wind in Beijing. A lawsuit for life became a small matter in his mouth, which was contrary to the teachings of the saint. He could only blame the world for being too dark, which made his righteous scholars go with the flow.
Master Liu sighed, "Who said it was not? We were too lazy to get into trouble. But the cause of this was because Li Cheng sold the knife. Li Cheng was as stupid as a cow. This knife was really a treasure knife. A noble man took a fancy to this knife, so he wanted to discuss with us and punish Li Cheng heavily. Killing people to pay for his life to prevent future troubles."
Master, is it really good that you speak so bluntly? Ye Xingyuan believes that he has strong psychological qualities, but behind this fair and honest plaque in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, Master Liu talks about this kind of murder and silence and treasure hunting in such a relaxed tone. Wouldn't it feel a bit ironic?
Ye Xingyuan frowned and said, "Sir Liu, Li Cheng is a famous official in the court and is my friend. It would be too much to judge him as a scoundrel, right?"
Although Master Liu did not say it clearly, that noble man must be extraordinary, otherwise he would not have been so direct. But since he still knew that he had come to Ye Xingyuan to discuss and did not make a direct judgment in the lobby, it means that the other party would give Ye Xingyuan or the officialdom of Dinghu Province behind Ye Xingyuan, so he would not do too much, and there was room for maneuver.
"Yes, yes, the reason is that." Master Liu nodded and smiled, "So you are discussing with Mr. Ye? I heard that Li Cheng and Mr. Ye are just first-time friends, so why bother offending others for him? As long as Mr. Ye, you give the noble person a face, my elders will not be difficult to do. The three hundred taels of silver are returned in its original form, and a small gift is presented."
Although Jingzhao Mansion is stupid, the news is still well-informed. It is difficult to hide the big and small things in Beijing from Master Liu. Since he dared to take over this matter, the relationship between Li Cheng and Ye Xingyuan must be investigated.
These two people had never had any intersection before, but they happened to live in an inn, which made them have some friendship. But Ye Xingyuan only took a few days to enter Beijing. How good can he have a relationship with Li Cheng? In the eyes of Master Liu, it was nothing more than a young man's heroic spirit. That's why he came forward to help with his loyalty.
Originally, this was not related to Jingzhao Mansion. Since you gave the money, I would naturally let him go, but someone else intervened. Considering that Ye Xingyuan's identity was a bit special, Master Liu gave me a kind reminder.
Ye Xingyuan felt awesome. Master Liu said politely, but he was a little slick and had no murderous aura, but he had already sentenced Li Cheng to death in his words. It was obvious that Jingzhao Mansion had actually made up his mind and was just here to inform him.
Li Cheng was a ninth-rank official after all. Even if he deprived his life so casually, how many unjust souls are there in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion? Ye Xingyuan was chilling. If an ordinary citizen had no friends, he would be afraid that he would die silently.
Objectively speaking, Li Cheng committed a crime to killing people and should be punished. But it is another matter to condemn him to death in order to seize his sword.
Ye Xingyuan hesitated and said, "That noble man just wants a treasure sword, so he doesn't have to kill anyone, right? Since Li Cheng has already planned to sell the sword, he will not be reluctant to give up the treasures in his life and death. The noble man took it away and just gave him a few silver. If he doesn't give it, it's okay."
When he mentioned silver, he saw that Master Liu's expression changed slightly, so he quickly changed his words. He thought that Jingzhao Mansion has never eaten people and never vomited bones. He also wanted to ask them for silver. He was also a little naive. Anyway, for Li Cheng, it was already a blessing in disgrace to escape his life in this case, and he should not have any obsession with the treasure sword.
Master Liu sneered, "But he is just a military officer, why should Mr. Ye be so worried? The noble man said that he must not leave any troubles when doing things. Then Li Cheng is the descendant of the Li family. This precious sword is given by the late emperor and passed down by the Li family. It would be fine if Li Cheng is not successful in the future. If he is turned over by his salted fish and comes to ask for it back then, wouldn't it be troublesome?"
Just explain it clearly so that the young man would not be able to figure out the situation. Ye Xingyuan was stunned. It turned out that you had a clear understanding of Li Cheng's family background and knew that he was a loyal descendant. The treasure sword was given by the emperor. In this way, you still had no scruples?
Moreover, his methods are really ruthless, not only to be treasured but also to be dead. Ye Xingyuan felt a gloomy chill, as uncomfortable as a snake squirming behind him, and frowned and said, "Who is the noble man behind Master Liu? I just want to save Li Cheng's life. Killing people is just a slight slightest. Why bother too much?"
Master Liu's expression changed. When he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a sneer from behind the screen, "The people in small places have shallow eyes and no knowledge. They all say this to this point, and they still have to be so stubborn? The waters in the capital are deep, so young people should not put themselves in for their friends!"
Then a middle-aged man in purple walked out from the back of the screen. He had a white face, a fat head and big ears, and a look of contempt and disdain on his face. He looked at Ye Xingyuan coldly.
Master Liu hurriedly came forward and said with a smile: "Eunuch Wang, why are you out? This young man is ignorant, I am convinced to him, father-in-law, don't be angry."
Is he a dead eunuch? When he heard the name of "father-in-law" and looked at the man's face and dress, Ye Xingyuan knew it. Unexpectedly, this incident actually caused a conspiracy with the eunuch.
It seems that this "Eunuch Wang" came to ask for a treasure knife from Jingzhao Mansion, and asked for the root of the root. Judging from Master Liu's attitude, he did not dare to offend this old man, so he invited Ye Xingyuan to the Houya to try to persuade him and let Eunuch Wang listen to the corner behind the screen.
However, Ye Xingyuan did not enter the oil and salt. Eunuch Wang probably used to being domineering and could not stand it, so he appeared angrily, which made Master Liu not easy to step down.
Now that it has been exposed, Master Liu is accustomed to doing errands. He has seen any embarrassing scenes, and then he said, "Mr. Ye, this is the assistant secretary of Shangshen Supervisor Wang Li, why don't you see him quickly?"
Can the people from Shangshenjian make Jingzhao Mansion so afraid? Ye Xingyuan was shocked. He had long heard that this dynasty's eunuch party was in power, especially the factory manager Jiang Baoshan, who was admiring the East Factory, was extremely powerful, and all the civil and military officials in the court were afraid of it.
But Xuanyuan World is a literati who is in charge of politics, and the secrets of heaven can be distinguished. Although the Dongchang is also a secret agency, it cannot cover the sky with one hand. At most, it is just that people dare not offend it. It is impossible to really cultivate the party members and monopolize the government.
The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture is a fourth-rank rank with real power, and is also a Jinshi, with a good root. As long as he is confident and courageous, even the admiral of the East Factory himself does not need to be too polite.
How could a mere assistant secretary of Shangshen? How could he deserve such flattery from his confidant Master Liu? Even Ye Xingyuan, a juren, have no need to bow to him. However, thinking about the style of Zheng’s prefect, such a corrupt and greedy appearance is too ugly. I am afraid that Qingliu will never accept him, and it is unknown that he has a relationship with the eunuch party.
The rank of the inner court is different from that of the outer court. Ye Xingyuan doesn't remember the rank of the Secretary of the Shangshen Supervisor, but the eunuch in charge of the seal is only the fourth rank, with the left and right minor supervisors, managers, chief officials, secretary secretaries, etc. No matter how you calculate this rank, it won't be too high.
What's more, the literati is noble. Even if this father-in-law is above him, he doesn't need to be too attentive. Therefore, Ye Xingyuan bowed his hands casually and said, "Ye Xingyuan, a juren from Xiaguiyang County, has seen Eunuch Wang, and asked his father-in-law to show his hand and let my friend go."
When the prince saw that Ye Xingyuan was not very respectful, he had already woken up. He wanted to talk about Li Cheng as soon as he spoke, and he was even more angry. "But just a juren, he acted like this. If you pass the Jinshi, you will not be able to stomp our family in the foot? Then Li Cheng killed someone and paid for his life. God said, since you read the books of sages, how dare you be favored?"
This was a big hat that Ye Xingyuan had expected, and he was not worried. He just said calmly: "If Jingzhao Mansion handled it impartially, even if it was Li Cheng's life, I had nothing to say. But if he was clear about the punishment of Zhengdian, as his friend, I would naturally have to collect some of his belongings and send them back to his hometown. The sword given by the imperial court is absolutely indispensable."
If you want life, don’t want a knife. Ye Xingyuan has rich experience in fighting and knows what the other party wants. He hit Eunuch Wang’s weakness as soon as he opens his mouth. Master Liu is sweating coldly. This kid is really bold. Is he threatening Eunuch Wang? Is he going to split up in one beat?
