Volume III: Underworld Shock

Chapter Forty-Nine: Sacrificial Wine and Imprisonment

After Old Man Wei left, there were no more big people in the prison, only a few corrupt elements who were corrupt and bribed, and formed parties for personal gain, sitting there waiting to die.

Even so, these people are not something to offend casually, first of all, you have to see if their gang has all been arrested, and whether there is anyone on it. For example, there is a middle-aged man named Rod Pestle with oily hair and noodles in it, he is the head of the household department, the official is not big, but the power is not small. During his reign, he embezzled and accepted bribes as much as 20,000 taels of silver, and it would be strange if the grandfather would not peel the skin and stuff the grass. But this master is good, since he came in, it has been more than a month, and no one has come to arraignment, and there is no intention of convicting, from time to time there are still people to come to see him, and he has to eat and drink well every day, not because his boss, that is, the head of the household, Shangshu and his father-in-law, the academician of the Inspectorate, pressed the case.

Didn't the emperor want to kill such corrupt officials when he saw this? It's strange if he doesn't want to kill, but he doesn't dare to kill. Although the imperial power is supreme, the officials are not stupid, and it is not uncommon for parties to do things against the emperor. The Rhodes pestle is a column, and the emperor wants to put him to death, but he has to consider the power of the bosses in his circle. Because, there are quite a lot of emperors, and if he really stands on the opposite side of the courtiers, then his position will be at the end.

However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Fan Jinyan and their Mao, just waiting for the unlucky Dali Temple Zuo Cheng to report, and it will be done after ensuring that he can comfort him out of prison, and go back to his own house and find his daughter-in-law.

The cell boss generally didn't have anything to do, and at this time the two were playing chess to pass the time, and the two stinky chess baskets were evenly matched. Kill in the dark.

At this time, Ke Hai's eyes were bloody. The sare was bigger than a bull's eye, and even the rattail mustache was almost plucked out. Less than two hours. Fan Jinyan won him two taels of silver, which made Ke Hai, who claimed to be the god of chess, feel embarrassed.

"General." Fan Jinyan laughed, "If you lose, take the money." ”

Ke Hai suddenly cried with a sad face, and when he was taking out the money in his arms, he said, "Wait, you lose, yours will be handsome against me!" Ha ha. Finally won. ”

Fan Jinyan saw that he couldn't give himself a slap in the face, what kind of eyes is this, he actually forgot that he and Shuai can't meet.

Just as Fan Jinyan was grinding and chirping to take out the money, Xiaoshi ran in, "Boss, then Master Wei is back again." ”

Ke Hai let out an 'ah' sound, stood up and said, "What's the matter, didn't you just let it out?" Why did you come to prison again? ”

Fan Jinyan said that Ke Hai was distracted. He put back the money he had just taken out, and then asked Xiao Shi, "Did Old Man Wei come by himself or was he escorted?" ”

"Of course it's taken." Little Stone was stunned. Then he said.

"It's over, it's over, it's over. It's all you. Ke Hai suddenly sat on the chair and complained about Fan Jinyan.

Fan Jinyan knew that Ke Hai was blaming himself for deducting the excerpt that Old Man Wei had given to the emperor, but he didn't care about this. I just think that this old man Wei is really stubborn, and it has been less than half a day since he went back. And was sent back.

The emperor let go of Old Man Wei because he saw that he was old, and he was afraid that he would really stay in prison for one night and not have any problems. Unexpectedly, Lao Wei thought that the emperor had softened, and when he returned to the palace to thank him, he repeated the old words, which made the young emperor angry. I thought to myself, you old stubbornness, it's endless, right, if I see your fold, I'll let you go. was about to drive Old Man Wei out of the palace, but this old stubborn just didn't give up, and actually quarreled with the emperor. He didn't want to think about it, the young emperor finally stayed up until his father died before he sat in this position, and you all set up the crown prince, which was enough to hit people, but you actually came back to the strength, and you didn't give up until you reached your goal. Immediately, the emperor in anger doesn't care whether you are an emperor or not, and whether you are an old man with lost teeth, wrinkled face, and gray hair, let me be honest and stay in prison!

Old Man Wei didn't say a word after he came in, and went into the cell where he had been in the morning.

The guards in the palace saw that the old man was so stubborn, and they could only cry and laugh, and whispered to Ke Hai: "The emperor said, prepare a clean room for the old man, and then prepare some mattress, other people's old man is sick." ”

Ke Hai saw that the guards kept silent and didn't mention the excerpts, so he was a lot more relieved, and hurriedly beckoned Xiao Shi, "Go to Lord Wei's house to get some quilts, and then let the mansion prepare some wine and food that the old man likes to eat." ”

Xiaoshizi was clever, answered, and ran out of the prison.

After the guards left, Fan Jinyan stood on the fence and looked at the stubborn old man who was meditating with his eyes closed, but he still couldn't hold back after all, "Why bother, old man?" Teaching and educating people is your duty, so why do you need to participate in government politics. ”

Old man Wei didn't expect that there was someone talking to him in this prison, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was actually a jailer, and he suddenly felt contempt, "What do you know about this reckless man, establishing a prince is the foundation of the country, and you don't understand it." ”

Fan Jinyan sneered, "You are also idle, do you want to give the emperor another excerpt!" This time I promise not to stop you. ”

What do you mean by that? Oh, the old man understood, I said how could the emperor let me go. It turns out that the old man's excerpt was not sent to the palace at all, you intercepted it! After Old Man Wei finished speaking, seeing Fan Jinyan nodding, he suddenly changed his face, blew his beard and glared: "You are so daring, you dare to cut off even the excerpt that this official gave to the emperor privately, do you know that this is the crime of killing the head?" ”

Fan Jinyan smiled indifferently, "It's just a piece of paper, the boss's job is to deliver talents to the imperial court, why don't you look for yourself and fight for the country?" ”

"You know what national affairs, the old man doesn't talk to you recklessly." Old man Wei didn't want Fan Jinyan to say anything, so he closed his eyes and meditated.

Fan Jinyan didn't care about this soft nail, and continued: "Establishing a crown prince can stabilize people's hearts and avoid turmoil when the imperial power is alternated, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless. But the boss is ignoring another crucial issue. ”

Old Man Wei snorted and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Fan Jinyan smiled and said: "It's that the emperor has just ascended to the throne, and he is upright and in his prime, and several little princes are not yet ten years old. At this time, the establishment of the crown prince was not only distrustful of the new emperor, but also suspected of forming a party. ”

"The old man is above board, how can he form a party for personal gain. Moreover, what does the establishment of a prince have to do with forming a party? Old man Wei frowned.

Fan Jinyan continued: "This is the emperor's mental technique, now that the emperor is in the prime of life, there will naturally be a large group of officials around the little prince, after a long time, the little prince has grown up, and naturally he is close to those officials around him, and he also has the ambition to take the throne, what do you say the emperor will think?" Do you think you have any good fruit to eat? ”
