Chapter 433 Fishing for People
Chapter 433
Wei Hao was very depressed at the moment, and it was estimated that there would be a lot of people looking for him when he went back, and he finally hid in the cell to be quiet and quiet, but he didn't expect to be released by Li Shimin.
"Is it okay if you don't say yes? I guess many of them are acquaintances, father, how can I refuse, you have to give me a few places! Wei Hao sat there and looked at Li Shimin depressedly.
"What slot?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao incomprehensibly.
"It's a quota for a few people to come out, father, you have to be reasonable, you let me out, now those people come to me, thinking that I am very familiar with the prison of the Criminal Department, I am not a person from the Criminal Department, eh, father, you have to give me three or five places anyway!" Wei Hao sat there and began to grind Li Shimin.
"You, the quota for exemption from capital crimes?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"Then don't, I just want those who have relatively minor crimes, the places that can be released, and let the people who are guilty of capital crimes let them die, I will not save such a big national law, just save a few people who are implicated, this will do!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.
"Okay, you rabbit, no one has ever dared to ask me for such a place!" Li Shimin pointed at Wei Hao and scolded.
"It's not your fault, I did a good job in prison, why did you let me out in advance? Alright, I'm leaving! As soon as Wei Hao heard that Li Shimin agreed, he stood up and prepared to run away.
"Stop!" Li Shimin called out to Wei Hao, and Wei Hao turned to look at Li Shimin.
"Sit down, my father has something to tell you!" Li Shimin pointed to the position where Wei Hao had just sat down,
Wei Hao had no choice but to sit down.
"I read the piece you sent last night, and you want Hou Junji to die so much?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"Father, I don't want him to die, it's his own death, a military secretary, involved in smuggling pig iron, communicating with foreign countries, father, if this matter is known by the soldiers on the front line, how sad it will be, and at this time, Your Majesty, you still spare him from dying,
Father, think about what those soldiers on the front line will think of Your Majesty, and will they still trust Your Majesty? The pig iron was sold, not for hoes, but for weapons and armor, and when the time came to fight our soldiers, those were the weapons that were cut at our soldiers.
Father, the thoughts of the front-line soldiers, you can't help but consider it, I know, Hou Junji has merit, but he must die, his sons, as long as they enjoy it, also need to be exiled, and they can spare their families from dying, but if he is not, you can't explain to the world, father, you can't explain to the world, in addition, father, son-in-law also know that you are kind-hearted, but you can't only be kind to Hou Jun, not to the front-line soldiers! Wei Hao sat there and watched Li Shimin persuade,
When Li Shimin heard it, he didn't speak, but poured a cup of tea for Wei Hao.
"Father, it must be up to you whether to execute or not anyway, but you also need to consider the feelings of the front-line soldiers!" Wei Hao continued to look at Li Shimin and said, Li Shimin nodded.
"Actually, there is no need for the father to be executed, when the time comes, let Hou Junji solve it himself in the old man, to ensure that their family can survive, of course, his family, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is inevitable, and it must be exiled, as far as I know, smuggling pig iron, that is the capital crime of the three clans, father, you can read the credit of Hou Junji, let all the people of the three clans be exiled to Lingnan!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and suggested.
"Well, that's fine!" As soon as Li Shimin heard Wei Hao say this, it was not bad, and then he took out some concertos, handed them to Wei Hao, and said: "These, someone pleaded for Hou Junji, guess who they are?" ”
"Ah, pleading for Hou Junji, right?" After Wei Hao heard this, he looked at Li Shimin in shock.
"Hmm!" Li Shimin nodded.
Wei Hao shook his head and said, "Then I really can't guess!" Who is so bold? ”
"The family, among the officials of the family, there are many people who intercede for Hou Junji, do you know why?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked, Wei Hao stared at Li Shimin, he couldn't say it if he understood, he still wanted Li Shimin to show off his intelligence.
"Because they know that as long as Hou Junji doesn't die, then there will be many people in their family who don't have to die, after all, Hou Junji is the first offender, and he doesn't have to die, so the others, the criminal department has no way to let them die, so now many people in the family are interceding for him,
In addition, Shen Yong, now those family heads are coming from their homes to Chang'an City again, I guess they will still look for you! Don't say yes! Li Shimin reminded Wei Hao and said,
He knew that the head of the family would definitely look for Wei Hao before coming over and looking for him, after all, they also wanted to plead with him through Wei Hao.
"What's the matter with me, I'm not from the Criminal Department, ask me, I don't know what I say!" Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said.
"Well, that's how it should be, come, drink tea! Chat with your father! Li Shimin said with satisfaction at the moment. After drinking tea, Li Shimin continued to pour tea for Wei Hao, and Wei Hao was grateful.
"Tell me what you think of your uncle!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.
"I, I don't want to talk about him, anyway, I don't want to die with him, don't persuade me, father, he deceives people too much, how can there be this, frame my father, he framed me, I'm not so angry, after all, I don't know where I offended him, if it's a matter of beauty, then it seems that he is too stingy, but, what does that have to do with my father, is it my father, is it a person who doesn't do this!" Wei Hao said angrily to Li Shimin at the moment.
"Well, it's a bit excessive, but you also have to consider your mother's feelings!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and reminded.
"I just have been thinking about the feelings of the queen mother, I endured it, the queen mother also persuaded me before, the queen mother also talked to him, he also agreed, no longer aimed at me, now, he is simply yin and yang, I can't do such a thing as him, I don't like him, I just don't like him!" Wei Hao sat there and said angrily,
Li Shimin nodded when he heard it, this is also Wei Hao's character, and it is also because the eldest grandson Wuji is too much, which completely angers Wei Hao.
"Father, don't you believe it, he will be polite to me in two days, but as long as there is a chance, he will attack me, this person is too insidious, if it weren't for the fact that the queen mother was here, those ministers would have to clean him up a long time ago!" Wei Hao continued to add fuel and vinegar in front of Li Shimin.
"Well, I also know, you, forget it, forget these words to your father, don't say them in front of your mother, and don't say them in front of her ministers, do you hear?" Li Shimin reminded Wei Hao and said. Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin.
"In the future, it's good to know in your heart, you don't have to talk about it every day, he treats you like this, you treat him like this, it's fine, don't say it, make your mother unhappy!" Li Shimin continued to persuade Wei Hao and said.
"Father, I can't do it!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin helplessly and said.
"If you can't do it, you have to do it, now your father is also looking at your mother's face, so he didn't bother with him about this matter, my father can bear it, why can't you bear it?" Li Shimin still persuaded Wei Hao.
"Okay, I'll try!" Wei Hao could only nod and say that he tried his best.
"Well, come, drink tea, rest at home for a few days, seven days later, you go to Jingzhao Mansion, in addition, this time, just adjust the county orders of Chang'an County and Wannian County together, let that Wei Shen prepare to take office in the next few days, and I will let the people from the Ministry of Officials go to inspect him!" Li Shimin continued to Wei Hao.
"Okay, anyway, the affairs of Wannian County, as long as you continue to do it, there will be no problems!" Wei Hao nodded, agreed, and then chatted with Li Shimin,
After chatting for a while, Wang De came in and reported that Fang Xuanling asked to see him, Wei Hao immediately stood up, said goodbye first, and then said, continue to stay here, he doesn't know when he can go back, out of the Ganlu Palace, some officials of the family saw Wei Hao, and they all smiled and bowed their hands, greeting Xia Guogong.
"Well, you're busy, I'll go back first!" Wei Hao waved his hand, and those ministers also smiled and said to walk slowly, after leaving the palace, Wei Hao rode straight to the mansion, and just arrived at the open space at the entrance of the mansion, he found that many people were waiting for him there.
"Yo, Xia Guogong is out? Congratulations to Xia Guogong! ”
"Xia Guogong, it's great that you can come out!"
"Xia Guogong is good!" ...
When those people saw Wei Hao riding back, they immediately smiled and shouted at Wei Hao.
"Well, okay, I know that you have something to come to me, it's nothing more than a matter of this case, you don't want to come to me, it hasn't been reviewed clearly, no one can come out, if it is released, something happens, who will bear it? Let's go back first! Wei Hao waved at them and said.
"This!" The men were still there, hesitating, not knowing whether to leave.
"I've made it so clear, what are you still doing here, I won't see you alone, okay, go back!" Wei Hao said and rode to his mansion, and the family members inside had already learned that Wei Hao was back, and when they saw Wei Hao riding over, they opened the side door.
After entering the mansion, Wei Hao turned over and dismounted.
"Childe, the head of the Wei family is here, and the master is here in the living room!" The concierge immediately said to Wei Hao.
"What? What is he doing here? "Wei Hao doesn't understand very much, could it be that someone from the Wei family is also involved, then it shouldn't be.
"Then I don't know." The porter immediately shook his head and said,
Wei Hao had no choice but to go to the living room, and as soon as he arrived in the living room, he found his father and patriarch Wei Yuanzhao chatting at the tea table in the living room.
"Yo, Shen Yong is back?" Wei Yuanzhao saw Wei Hao come in, he was very surprised, and he stood up and said in great surprise, Wei Furong was also surprised, didn't he say that he would be imprisoned for ten days? Why did you come back early?
"Well, I've seen the patriarch, what kind of wind blew you here?" Wei Hao walked over with a smile and said.
"You kid, on purpose, right? What else is the wind blowing me? I want to come every day, will you kid let me in? Wei Yuanzhao pointed at Wei Hao with a smile and said.
"No one else can come in, you can't either?" Wei Hao smiled and sat down.
"Well, Shen Yong, do you know the details of this pig iron smuggling?" Wei Yuanzhao asked Wei Hao directly.
"Our Wei family is also involved? Can't you? Patriarch, if this is the case, I have an opinion, our family's business is now quite a lot, and the rice business is now also doing and producing, and now I dare not say that it is making money every day, but the profit of the Wei family in a month will not be less than 3,000 yuan! Wei Hao looked up at Wei Yuanzhao and asked.
"Hey, it's not this part of the capital, it's the people who moved to Luoyang, the Taiyuan branch, something happened, they participated, this time twelve people were arrested, 3 of them were Chinese officials, and the rest were all clansmen with heads and faces in those two places, isn't there no way for the old man?" I'm coming to you. Wei Yuanzhao sighed and said to Wei Hao.
"Then you can't control them?" Wei Hao immediately asked.
"Although it's not under my control, but after all, it's the surname Wei, and I've always had contacts, and in the court, it's always been consistent with our own family, and now that something like this happens, the old man can't be regarded as not knowing?" Wei Yuanzhao looked at Wei Hao in embarrassment and said.
When Wei Hao heard it, he looked at Wei Yuanzhao helplessly, and then said: "I really can't help this, I'm still interrogating now, no one wants to fish it out, what if something big happens?" If you want to catch people, you have to wait until the trial is over, before you are convicted, you can do it, now you don't think about it! ”
Wei Hao said and waved his hand there, I don't know what they think, such a big thing, I want to let people come out now, is it possible? I don't dare to do such a thing, and no one in the court dares to do it.
"Shen Yong, this old man knows that he just wants you to take a hand after the interrogation!" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said,
At this time, a family member outside ran in and said to Wei Hao: "Master, son, Wei Shen asks to see him!" ”
"What do you want to see, just let him in, your own family!" Wei Furong immediately spoke, and the family immediately ran out again.
Soon, Wei Shen came in.
"Brother Jinxian, quick, sit here!" Wei Hao saw Wei Shen coming over, so he beckoned him to sit down.
"Well, I just learned that you came out, so I took a leave of absence and asked you for help!" Wei Shen also said directly, now that they are coming to Wei Hao's mansion, they all want to ask him for help.
"Who is he?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Shen and asked.
"One of the things in the military department, in fact, is your sister-in-law's cousin, eh, he doesn't know about this matter at all, but, he took the money, but this money is not much, it seems to be 100 yuan,
As soon as he was about to arrest someone that day, he ran to my house and told me all about it, saying that if you don't take it, you can't take it, if you don't take it, you won't be able to stay in the military department at all, and my brother-in-law is also the commander who transports grain, grass and weapons, if you send something to the border, you can't get around my hinterland, no, at home, your sister-in-law is in a hurry, and I can only ask you for help with a straight face! Wei Shen said to Wei Hao with a wry smile.
"Okay, it's okay, I can't die, I don't know if I can be reinstated, but it's definitely no problem to come out, okay? You talk to your sister-in-law, don't tell the outside world, just know yourself! Wei Hao looked at Wei Shen and said.
"Cheng, I'm relieved to have your words, and your sister-in-law is also relieved, it's not important to be an official now, now you need to save your life and just be able to come out." Wei Shen heard Wei Hao say this, and immediately nodded and said.
"I said Shen Yong, you can save his side, what about me?" Wei Yuanzhao immediately looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"I'm sure I'll be able to keep a small soldier, besides, I know how deeply those people are involved at that time, in case of a verdict, or exile for three thousand miles, I'll protect it?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao and said unhappily.
"Yes, but, hey, I don't know how big it is this time! How many people will Your Majesty kill! Wei Yuanzhao sat there and said anxiously.
"It's very big, a lot of people are going to die, you are kidding, the amount of smuggling exceeds 5 million catties, do you know what the concept is?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Yuanzhao coldly and said.
"So much?" Wei Yuanzhao looked at Wei Hao in shock, and Wei Hao nodded.
"That, that, that's really hard to protect!" Wei Yuanzhao muttered, such a big matter, it is estimated that none of the people involved will be able to escape.
"That's right, Brother Jinxian, you prepare, there will be a holy decree coming down in the next few days, you take over from me and serve as the county commander of Wannian County, which can be regarded as a position on the fifth grade, and the next step is to become a member of the court, it is estimated that after serving a term, it will definitely be promoted to the fourth grade!" Wei Hao smiled at Wei Shen and said,
At this moment, Wei Shen and Wei Yuanzhao both looked at Wei Hao dumbfounded, this news was too sudden, they were not prepared at all, now Wei Hao is the county magistrate of Wannian County, or the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, there was no indication that Wei Hao would step down from the post of county magistrate of Wannian County.
"What's the matter, Brother Jinxian, don't want to be?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Shen with a smile and asked.
"No, no, no, Shen Yong, your news, I, eh, if someone else says it, I can't believe it!" Wei Shen hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"What can't I believe, I was not only the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, Your Majesty had to force me to be, I said that I could do it, but the county order of Wannian County wanted you to be, otherwise, I won't do it, Your Majesty agreed!" It's that simple! Wei Hao stretched out his hand with a smile and said to Wei Shen,
Wei Shen stood up at this moment and hurriedly bowed to Wei Hao.
"Eh, why are you so polite!" Wei Hao hurriedly stood up and pulled him to sit down.
"Jinxian, what your brother said is right, your own family, why are you polite? This position is not for whom, and it is the same for you, Shen Yong is your younger brother, who does he not help you to? Wei Furong also persuaded Wei Shen at this moment and said,
Wei Yuanzhao is very envious, very envious of Wei Shen, this kid's future doesn't depend on the family, it all depends on Wei Hao's arrangement, and if the family arranges it, it needs to exchange a lot of resources.
