Chapter 171: Struggle
"Teacher, I don't love money, I didn't kill him for money, I'm just afraid. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info over the years, I know, I've gotten dirty. My hands, my heart, slowly changed. But I still like to go to your place to eat, because only there, I think I am still the fool He Zhongxian before. I didn't want him to get off the boat, and when he got off the boat, he was out of control. At that time, you may know what the true me is like. But I don't want that, I don't want you to know that. Zhong Xian cried again, this time still crying like a child.
"So the last lesson I taught you is that people are responsible for what they do." Zeng Fan patted his face gently, his face heavy.
"Lu Xudong may not be dead, as long as there is no body, you can't prove that my son killed him, maybe he was only seriously injured. Serious injury and death are two different things! "Lord Xiao He still wants to make a final effort. His eyes were still full of unwillingness. Now that Zhong Xian has confessed his guilt, he cried for a long time, Zeng Fan was obviously not touched, so he was thinking about what else he should do.
Lord Da He sighed lightly, he understood his younger brother, but now he also saw it. Zeng Fan wanted to calm the hearts of the four bandit kings, and he also had to let Zhong Xian bring him to justice. He also saw tears in Zhong Xian's eyes just now, this is his student, he took him to Fujian, and they made contributions together. But the ending became such a child, which made Da He sigh.
"Second child, forget it." Lord Da He gently pulled his younger brother, and if he continued, Zhong Xian's reputation would be gone. At least, at this time, Zhongxian can still have a reputation for daring to do things in the world.
"Big brother, this is my son." Xiao He's eyes were also blood-red.
"Let's talk about Lu Xudong, over the years, I have been talking to the emperor about Lu Xudong, Lu Jianan, Ding Tong, and Huang Ge, they are all amazing smart people, but because they are not from a good background, they have no promotion. I love Ding Tong and Huang Ge, so I gave them a chance that the Lu brothers didn't have. Now Ding Tong is in the third product. My scholar, it's three products! His son studied at the Royal Naval College in England, and he could come back to join the Navy Division in the future and become a great soldier, and he did not have the struggle of Ding Tong back then.
Lu Xudong is a water bandit, a pirate in your mouth, he donated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in six years to support the scholars in Fujian. In the past six years, people say that I have increased the number of scholars in Fujian in six years, but I don't want to think about how much money has been invested in the Fujian academic and political yamen in the past six years.
I hate Zhong Xian for sending someone to kill Lu Xudong, because I feel that Lu Xudong has completed his own mission and can leave Fujian with me. He has a wife and children, and I told him, thank you, thank you for your help to the court in the past six years! But instead he thanked me, saying that I had made him a more useful person. He didn't know why he was a water bandit before, but in the past few years as a pirate, he knew that he was doing things for the imperial court. He is working for our weak country. ā
The tears in Zeng Fan's eyes finally dropped, and he looked down at Zhong Xian, "I have to take your life, I can't chill the hearts of these righteous people." I can't chill the hearts of the world's poor scholars. Because they don't have a good father, their lives are meaningless. No matter what they did for the court, they were destined to be worth nothing without you. That's not right! ā
"Lord Wang, you heard that Zeng Fan wanted to kill my son for his avenue, but the old minister refused to accept it!" Master Xiao He finally found Zeng Fan's mistake and knelt straight in front of the six kings and the seven kings. At this time, they are here to supervise the trial, and they really have the right to stop it.
"Old man, these two guys have done a lot of killing heads in the past few years. It's really put out one by one, and a thousand cuts are not enough. However, Zeng Shi told the emperor that the emperor did not send hungry soldiers, and he couldn't give them anything, so he gave them freedom. As long as they are not in a big way, as long as they work hard to change the combat power of the sailors, as long as they can get a few more guns from the British, and get a few more blueprints of battleships, everything else is a small section! Therefore these sins are tacitly approved by him. Please ask the emperor to remember Zhong Xian's merits, but the fault only needs to be recorded in his account, and he will be punished together. It has nothing to do with Zhong Xian and Ding Tong. The six kings let out a long sigh at Lord Xiao He and said softly.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the six kings, and the seven kings also smiled, "The king of the fold also saw it, Zeng Shi said, these years, the sea situation is complicated, and Zhong Xian, the admiral of the water division, has a hard time. Some things are indeed out of line, but he knows it, and he acquiesces. He bears all the responsibilities. So this time, Zeng Shi impeached Zhongxian, and there was no other crime, only murder. ā
"I also told you this back then, it is mine to make a mistake, and you will do it arbitrarily. As long as it's good for the sailor, I won't ask. So I said, those are not your sins, they are mine. But I don't take the crime of murder, let's sentence it according to the law, old man, you are the old criminal department. Buying a murder is a felony in itself, not to mention that it has already caused consequences, whether the body is found or not, it can actually be sentenced to beheading. Zeng Fan looked at Lord Xiao He lightly, now he is calm, he understands what the old man thinks, but he doesn't agree.
"Lord Zeng, Zhong Xian has also done some things over the years, we confess our guilt, but if we can open the net, we will give the Lu family an explanation. There are many things that can't be broken by his dog's head. Really took his dog's head, do you think you can really make the Lu family angry? Why not make something more constructive? Lord Da He looked at his brother's red face, tangled for a moment, or hugged Zeng Fan, and also smiled at Lu Jianan, thinking about it.
"Lu Guandai, Brother Ling's matter, I apologize to you on behalf of the He family. But you are also a reasonable person, Brother Ling has been helping the court in the past few years, and he also knows that he is atoning for your Lu family and the first half of his life. From now on, your Lu family is no longer a bandit, and you can all be upright. I don't say this to excuse my nephew, but to say that your eldest brother can be said to have done a lifetime of wrong things, because before his death, under the influence of Lord Zeng, he put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha on the spot. And my nephew, who is over half a hundred years old, has lived most of his life, before he went to Fujian, he was really not a bad person, I don't say that what he did was all good things, but he was a good official with a good heart and a positive shadow at that time. Including Master Zeng just said that he has done a lot of things for the water master, just because he was confused for a while and hurt Brother Ling, he has to deny everything he had before? It's also unfair to the law, isn't it? ā
