Chapter 61: Exoneration
In the upper room of the Green Smoke Pavilion, Lord Shi paced back and forth with a weak face, and his eyebrows revealed deep incomprehension and anger - this trip to Huzhou almost cost him his life!
If it weren't for the black clay pot in front of you, it would almost have been identified as poison in the tea!
Looking at the beautiful furnishings around me, it is as disgusting as maggots. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Master Shi lives in the household department, which is a sensitive department, and he is the department in charge of money and food, how dare he enter and leave this kind of gold nest? Afraid that others will not find a reason to impeach?
But this time, the location of the meeting was chosen in the Green Smoke Pavilion, but it was hinted at by a young man: Don't look at the eunuchs in some jurisdictional places who cry poor when they see the household officials, but how luxurious they are behind their backs!
Such a splendid green smoke pavilion, I don't know how much it is worth! It was originally the property of Lord Taishou, and it was easily given to Lord Rui a few days ago!
However, when it comes to increasing taxes, it is called poor, and when it comes to the reform of silver and grain, it is said that it is difficult, and it is clearly unwilling!
Does the war in the north have nothing to do with the south? The dignified Taishou was unwilling to contribute, for the officials to eat the king's fortune, and to be loyal to the king!
Liu Yan, the head of the household department, ordered his subordinates to go to various places in person to find favorable business opportunities in various places and promote development.
This despicable method is simply vicious: the death of the household officials at the hands of the merchants, and when it reaches the ears of the emperor, it is natural that the merchant's crime is unforgivable, but what about the rest of the merchants? Since then, you have no trust in the Ministry of Households, no matter how determined you are to reform the business and government, no one supports you, responds to you, how can the new law be implemented?
It is nothing more than that they feel that the reform of the household department will harm their interests, and they actually do such a thing!
Master Shi suppressed the anger in his heart and asked a young man sitting crookedly behind him, "Did that Niu Ah San make any moves?" ”
The young man behind him sat crookedly on a comfortable Taishi chair, his whole body was not in shape, he was playing with a small dagger in his hand, and he watched Master Shi pacing around idly, his eyes seemed to be smiling.
He didn't answer Lord Shi's question, and after a while, he smiled at Lord Shi and said, "Lord Shi, why don't we make a bet, is the bet surnamed Niu still alive now?" ”
Master Shi turned his head suddenly, looked at the young man who was speaking, and said angrily, "...... them Dare to do so? ”
The young man didn't answer, because this was a question that didn't need to be answered, and Master Shi himself knew it in his heart - if he dared to take poison, what else would he not dare to do?
Niu Asan is a small handyman in the kitchen of the Green Smoke Pavilion, a tiny person, but he has become the central figure of the whole affair - he is the only one who has ever touched this black clay pot.
What motive can a small handyman have to poison the household officials? Don't think about it, someone must be behind it.
If the man behind him can instruct him, he can destroy his mouth. In any case, Tobe-sama will not be allowed to get any evidence.
Master Shi, who had just woken up after being poisoned, thought of this, only to feel that his blood was surging, and he coughed a few times in a muffled voice, and his mind was dizzy.
Immediately, a servant came over and gently hammered Lord Shi's back, smooth out. The servant's eyes quietly slanted at the young man, and he was very unhappy: Master Shi had just picked up a life from the Ghost Gate, did he have to say this now to stimulate his old man?
Master Shi raised his hand to stop the servant, motioned for him to go out first, and said angrily to the young man, "So, is there no way to do such a thing?" Are you just going to let them do whatever they want? ”
The smile in the young man's eyes disappeared, and his gaze became deep: "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky." Please also take care of your health. Someday to clean them up! ”
Lord Shi retracted his gaze and began to pace again, but the only person in the know could not play a role, only glad that this evil thing was in the worst case, someone took action and turned the situation around.
None of the county magistrates and merchants took their lives, which is the most important thing, and the rest can't be taken care of for a while.
Master Shi sighed: "Then you have to entrust the knights, you must try your best to protect those merchants!" This official will also go to explain the interests to Prince Rui, and I believe that he will not embarrass those merchants. ”
Chivalry became a trend in the Tang Dynasty, and Lord Shi didn't know what the identity of the young man in front of him was, and why he was so concerned about this matter, but as long as he was willing to help, Lord Shi was willing to call him a "chivalrous".
The cynicism of the young man sitting in the chair at this time faded, he stood up, respectfully waved at Lord Shi, and said, "The merchants should be grateful for the protection of officials like Lord Shi!" ”
Master Shi sighed and waved his hand: "In the end, this official harmed them!" These are the leaders among the merchants in Huzhou, and they should have made a difference! Now he is in prison. ”
…………………………
Li Huizhi and other merchants had been released from the cell, and because they were still weak, they stayed in a nearby inn first.
Although it is an unjust prison, but in this era, it is good that the government did not ask for your life on the spot, and now that you are acquitted, who dares to say half a word?
Li Huizhi was lying on the bed, looking at the top of the bed with her eyes lost.
The crisis of the Li Family Tea House has been lifted, and she can go back just waiting for her body to recover, and she has already sent someone back to report the news, but she still can't be happy.
I heard that the person who poisoned him died after a day in prison, leaving no evidence left, so there is no guessing what happened here.
The person behind the curtain failed, so he naturally knew that he wanted to cover it, and he had the strength to cover it.
But none of these are the reasons for her sadness.
Sun Runan's lost glance pierced her heart like a needle, and it really made her not know what to do.
If it was like Zhang Qiaorong, she wouldn't care at all. Because no matter how you look at it, she doesn't pose a threat. But what about Sun Runan?
She was a good girl, kind, gentle, beautiful, well-read, and could hardly find any faults.
Who would refuse such a girl?
Li Huizhi examines her relationship for the first time, what is she doing?
One is a girl born in the 21st century, and after all, she is going back to the future, and the other is the future emperor, what is the state of these two people now? What will be the result? What will happen in the future?
Is there a future?
A warm hand grabbed hers.
Li Huizhi was a little upset, closed her eyes and said, "Xiaoyu, I don't want to eat now, you let me sleep for a while!" ”
"Why don't you want to eat it?" It turned out to be Li Kuo's voice!
Li Huizhi opened her eyes in shock, and saw a pair of deep eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, when did he come? Why is there no movement at all? Forget it, don't worry about it, he could have done it.
Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen him since being poisoned.
But what if he comes? Issue...... It still exists!
"You...... What are you here for? Li Huizhi's tone was full of bad anger - whoever asked him to attract bees and butterflies everywhere, he was the culprit! (To be continued.) )
