Chapter 91: Diao Min is the best to die
Even if Bu An is not familiar with officialdom, he knows that the biggest official in Yuezhou City is the prefect.
Since the prefect sent his brother-in-law to greet him, he was connected to the line, if his old man fell in love with the silver of the Seventh Division, as long as he sent Lord Wang to say it, Bu An did not mind the "collusion between officials and businessmen" and sat on the ground to divide the accounts.
In this way, he came to raid the house to find silver without saying hello, and made it known all over the city for five thousand taels of silver, and the means were very unsophisticated.
Besides, 5,000 taels of silver is a huge amount of money in the eyes of the people of the Seven Divisions, and it should not be very tempting for those big officials in the state capital.
So many people were sent, except for a headcatcher with a northern accent, the rest were all idle servants, and the scene was too shabby.
The means are not very clever, the appetite is not large, and the energy is limited...... Even the prefect's attitude towards the Seventh Division is clear, and he is obviously an officialdom stunned.
However, sometimes stupid people are especially lethal, and Bu An has to guard against it, so he sent the gold collar to Qingshan overnight last night - Qingshan has an old ghost shrine to help, and it is too easy to hide something.
Being led through the market by a group of errands is a very shameful thing, but Bu'an has a leisurely demeanor, walks at the front of the line, and says hello to the half-familiar neighbors from time to time, which is a little incomprehensible.
Those who can't figure out the situation still think that this scholar is an official and leads the servants out to make rounds.
When he entered the mansion and walked into the cold court, when he saw the familiar face of the Chinese character, Bu An finally knew who was doing the ghost.
Above the public court, sitting in the middle is one of the second officials of Yuezhou Mansion, Li Maocai, the seven-rank promoter. Bu Jingping, who had been beaten by Bu An, sat beside Li Tuiguan with a proud face, like a master who had no city government.
"Kneel down!" Bu Jingping shouted in a guest-oriented manner, and Li Maocai's face suddenly became a little ugly.
A year ago, this Li Tuiguan was an old prisoner of the Bianjing Guozijian, and he had several encounters with Bu Jingping, and he came to the door a few days ago, saying that there was a good thing that could not only make a name for himself, but also earn a thousand taels of silver.
This good thing is standing in the hall right now, with a helpless face, but there is no appearance of kneeling in the slightest. The enthusiastic performance of the errand on the side stepped forward to kick, but was stopped by Bu'an with a loud shout.
"I'm a Confucian student, I only kneel to the Heaven and Earth Monarch, what are you?!" He stared at Bu Jingping with his eyes, as if he was only talking to him.
"Confucianism, ......" Li Maocai suddenly became interested, he didn't know how many white eyes he suffered when he was in Bianjing, including those Confucian students who did not need the imperial examination.
Bu Jingping sneered, beckoned, and said, "Bring the bitter master up!"
Bu'an looked behind curiously, and saw that there were quite a few bitter masters, dozens of people, some of whom were very familiar, and they were the first to hand over the task of catching ghosts.
As soon as these people entered the hall, they pointed at Bu'an and scolded him, until Li Tuiguan drank the order to state separately, and then began to list Bu'an's crimes one by one.
"This scholar said that he would let me pay to catch ghosts, but my family has never been haunted, and the monks and Taoists under him are too fierce...... Master Qingtian, you have to be the master of the people!"
"My family was fine, but this scholar went to the door once, but it began to haunt the ghosts!
Bu An was speechless when he heard it, although he knew that they must have taken the benefits of Bu Jingping, but the great good man from a while ago suddenly became the one pointed out by Qianfu, and he was really a little uncomfortable.
He scolded in his heart, and suddenly felt that Wang He was not wrong, and it was better for these Diao people to die.
More than seventy bitter masters scolded one by one, and it had been half a day, Bu Jingping was overjoyed when he heard it, and Li Maocai also sneered.
"The evidence is ironclad, do you still have something to say?!" Bu Jingping couldn't help but pass the addiction of the Qingtian Lord again.
Bu An snorted, swept his fingers towards the "bitter masters" one by one, and said lightly: "I remember you." Then he said loudly in the court: "Such a big secret, let's ask the prefect to personally interrogate it." ”
Li Tuiguan's expression changed even more, as long as he was not too stupid, he could hear what this sentence meant, and suddenly said in a deep voice towards Bujing: "Didn't you say that he was your third brother?"
"He scared you, how did the prefect recognize him. "Bu Jingping faintly felt wrong, but it was difficult to ride a tiger.
After all, Li Maocai still has some eyesight, and he saw that Bu Jingping's panic was coming, and he knew that he was not a lady when he met someone, so he said loudly with a look of embarrassment: "There are only human witnesses, but no physical evidence...... Li Zhutou has already confessed that no silver has been found, and Li Tuiguan's words are not unfounded.
Bu Jingping saw that he was about to retreat, and his heart was anxious, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of a jade pendant hanging from Bu'an's waist, the color was emerald green, not like an ordinary product, so he got up suddenly and said: "I was almost deceived! Lord Li, you see! He bought jade with silver!"
At that moment, an officer who had no eyesight rushed forward, dragged down the jade pendant on Bu'an's waist, and handed it to Li Tuiguan with both hands.
I saw that Li Tuiguan's face suddenly froze, as if what was in front of him was not a jade pendant, but his ancestral tablet.
Bu Jingping was curious, and he reached out to take it, but was pushed away.
"Bold!" The look of astonishment on Li Tuiguan's face suddenly disappeared, and he had already changed into the majesty of the Great Master of the Blue Sky.
"You actually fabricated charges and falsely accused Zhongliang, come on!
Before Bu Jingping could react to what was going on, he was held back by a few errands, and the "bitter masters" who had colluded with him in the hall saw how this old man suddenly had an insight, and immediately turned the head of the gun, crying that he was threatened by this person.
Li Tuiguan issued several orders in succession, dragged Bujingping down, and ordered the messengers to drag the Diao people out and beat them with forty rods.
When the court was empty and only Bu'an was left, this Li Tuiguan respectfully returned the jade pendant to Bu'an, half apologizing and half saying in an almost way: "Since the son is the person of the right minister, it is okay to explain it earlier, why bother to tease the lower official, haha, I will be the east tonight, and make amends for the son, hahaha......"
When Bu An took the jade pendant, he knew two things. First, Shizun Tu Yao originally had such a big backstage; second, being an official is really effective.
And the bitter masters who were about to take revenge just now let him know that being a good person is all bullshit.
"That person is my eldest brother after all, so he will be sent to me in prison for a few days. He said with a smile.
I don't know why, Li Mao felt that this step boy was sinister in his smile. But the grievances between their brothers, he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to figure it out.
"And what about his false accusations?" he asked again, uneasy.
Bu An thought for a while before saying, "You can press it first, and I'll talk to him later." In addition, please trouble Lord Li to lock up those bitter masters for a while. ”
Li Maocai smiled and said, "Of course, that's of course." ”
