Chapter 58: Strategy
"Wouldn't that be more fun?"
Helian Che smiled, and his lips seemed to bloom like a gorgeous flower, and his eyes were shining, which was very exciting.
In that situation, it is like a cat catching a mouse, the cat will not eat the mouse immediately after being caught, and will always bite off the mouse's neck when it is tired of playing.
It's a bad taste, and she seems to be a special idiot when she asks questions.
Ye Lingyi scolded perverted in her heart, and never spoke again.
When I rushed back to the Zhenhe County Mansion, it was already dark. The three of them stayed awake all night, but they couldn't stop being busy.
Li Yuanlin directly opened the official hall of the government office, and handed over to Liu Shilang to preside over the trial, a minister to jury, and Ye Lingyi and Helian Che were responsible for bringing Huoda's maid to the government office.
The shocking wood slapped heavily on the official case, and there was a loud "snap", which penetrated the official hall.
The people spontaneously came to watch the trial, and the crowd immediately burst into warm applause, which shows that the people hated Liang Si, a thief official, and they were eager to deal with him immediately.
Liang Si, who knelt in the hall, looked around, coughed lightly, Guan Wei immediately took it, and said in a calm voice: "Quiet!" ”
After the people were completely silenced, Liu Shilang said: "Liang Si, are you guilty?" ”
Liang Si was named, and saw that Liang Jin, who was fat and short, was looking at him with scruples, wiping the cold sweat flowing from his forehead from time to time, and simply craned his neck to look directly at Liu Shilang: "The lower officials don't know what they have done, you might as well say it directly!" ”
"Dare to quibble!"
Another shocking sound returned to the official hall.
The guard immediately drew his sword and stepped forward.
"Bold Liang Si, killed the former Zhenhe County Guard Huoda, and gained self-respect, which made the Huo Mansion family ruined and the people miserable, this official asked you, are you guilty?"
"You said I killed Hoda?" Liang Si smiled, and spread his hands into a demand: "What about the evidence?" ”
Liu Shilang looked at the side, got Li Yuanlin's eyes agreed, and finally threw the petition of the people in front of Liang Si: "This is the document of the people of Zhenhe County to impeach you, what else do you want to say?" ”
Liang Si only glanced at the Wanmin petition with the rest of his eyes, and sneered: "Joke! You want to cure me for my sins with such a thing, and adults are too self-righteous! That's not proof! ”
"Bold!"
Liang Si glanced at the blade on his neck that was approaching, and he was not afraid, but smiled: "I want to ask my lord, what is the crime of detaining a court official without permission?" No matter how bad my Liang Si is, I am also the county guard of Zhenhe County, and I am also the nephew of the current Holy Lord Lianghou, you have eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard, dare to do this to me? Aren't you afraid that my aunt will punish you for a serious crime? ”
"Arrogance!"
There was a reprimand in the hall, and Li Yuanlin got up from the hearing seat and slowly walked towards the unruly Liang Si.
"What are you? Is there a place for you to speak? ”
Liang Si obviously didn't know Li Yuanlin, and his expression became more and more arrogant. See. Hair. Line. Middle. Wen. net
As soon as the guards heard him so presumptuous, the blade immediately turned into the back of the knife and smashed it unceremoniously on Liang Si's back.
Liang Si was in pain, immediately bared his teeth, and fell to the ground and curled up in a ball.
Li Yuanlin leaned over and smiled mockingly: "You don't even know me and dare to pretend to be a relative of the queen mother?" I see you're the one who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall! ”
This "I" was like thunder, slamming into Liang Si's head: "The subordinates don't know that the emperor is here in person, and if you are offended, please ask the emperor for forgiveness!" ”
Li Yuanlin's face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "Then tell me, which crime should I forgive you?" Is it rude to me or is it ...... You murdered the original Zhenhe County Shou Huoda's treason? ”
A confession was displayed in front of him, with his bloody handprints of Liang Si on it.
Liang Si immediately panicked: "The emperor ...... Emperor! This, this is not true, you heard the subordinates say that they forced me to draw this book...... No, I mean, this book is fake at all, and the subordinates didn't kill Hoda! Hoda's death has nothing to do with me! Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is my aunt, we are really relatives, you must believe me! ”
Liang Si looked flustered, and in a hurry, he began to speak incoherently.
The guards pressed down with a knife and forced Liang Si to lie on the ground, and the jury immediately said coldly: "The character and morality of this remote official family are not very good, and I don't look at my identity, I dare to call you and me with the emperor's relatives!" ”
Liu Shilang frowned, although he felt that it was a little bad for the big man to generalize the character of the remote official family and beat him to death with a stick, but he didn't say anything after all.
Li Yuanlin straightened up and looked condescendingly at Liang Si who was struggling on the ground: "It seems that you don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin, then ......."
The man's deep gaze looked behind the people.
Helian Che and Ye Lingyi happened to come in with Huoda's maid.
The maid is not very old, in her early twenties, a pair of eyes are obviously crying, red and swollen, as soon as she saw Liu Shilang, she immediately broke down with tears in her eyes and knelt down and collapsed and cried, crying while saying: "Ask Lord Qingtian to be the master of my family's county guard!" ”
Liu Shilang is a person who has seen a big scene, but he can't see a woman crying so sadly, he only felt that his head hurt a little, his face changed, and he patted the shocked wood and said: "The law is selfless, if the girl has any grievances, you might as well say it directly, the emperor is present, and she should be the master for you!" ”
The maid wiped the tears from her face, glared at Liang Si on the side, and pointed at him and said, "It's him, this despicable and shameless villain!" I saw with my own eyes that he poisoned Lord Shouhuo! Afterwards, he threatened me not to tell the story, otherwise he would kill my whole family! ”
"You damn girl dare to talk nonsense!"
Although Liang Si was suppressed, his arrogance was still arrogant, and his fierce eyes widened, as if he wanted to devour the maid alive.
The maid knew that the other party was tending to be weak at the moment, and she was not afraid, so she took out a hand card from her arms and displayed it in front of everyone.
"This is the hand card of this murderer, and it is still stained with the blood of Lord Huo!"
Liang Si naturally saw the brand, and his back, which was still stiff, suddenly fell like a plate of loose sand.
"Liang Fucheng should recognize this hand, right? It's yours! ”
Liang Si lost his mind and muttered to himself: "Impossible! The sign is clearly missing. ”
"Of course it's lost." The maid's eyes gradually sharpened: "This sign was thrown on the banquet that day!" It was picked up by Lord Huo, and Lord Huo held it tightly in his hand before he died, and later when the eldest lady died, he handed over this brand to me, and asked me to testify against you, the murderer! If it weren't for you, a dog thief, who was ruthless and shameless enough to threaten my family, how could I have concealed the grievances of the Huo Mansion to this day? If I had come forward sooner, the little woman would not have ......"
The maid's eyes were full of guilt, and she wept alone.
The maid presented the sign to the guards, who presented it to Li Yuanlin, and finally delivered it to Liu Shilang.
Li Yuanlin lowered his eyes and glanced at Liang Si, and his tone did not have a trace of warmth: "This confession was drawn by me with my own eyes, and the crime was also heard by my own ears, and now there is human and material evidence, what else do you have to say?" ”
Liang Si lost his mind: "Impossible, just a brand?" ”
After a moment, Liang Si ignited a glimmer of hope and looked at Li Yuanlin: "Your Majesty, we are cousins!" I am the queen mother's nephew! You have to help me! ”
The young emperor lost his patience, his expression drifted with a touch of disgust, and he turned his eyes to look at Liu Shilang in the main hall.
Liu Shilang immediately shouted: "In broad daylight, how can Lang Lang Qiankun tolerate thieves and petty bullies? Bring this heinous man down and punish him for all his crimes! Punish with a guillotine! Someone, pull him down, and execute him immediately! ”
As soon as the words fell, the guards put away their knives and escorted Liang Si down, and the crowd watching from the outside immediately applauded.
I don't know how many township tyrants and scoundrels have been killed by a compassionate dog-headed man, but now he has also tasted the blood of evil officials.
Liang Jin, as the prisoner of the emperor's admiration, saw Liang Si's head rolling from the upper bone of the dog's head to the execution table like a ball, and his blood-red eyes full of resentment were desperately wide, as if looking at him and said silently: "This is what will happen to you in the future!" ”
Liang Jin was suddenly frightened and his legs weakened, and he sat down on the chair and felt a cold feeling under his buttocks, and he was peeing his pants.
Liang Si, as the nephew of the Queen Mother, was protected by the latter's party and ended up like this. As the so-called emperor is far away, Tokyo City is thousands of miles away from Zhenhe County, even if the Queen Mother has the heart to protect his life, it is difficult to fly with wings.
Now that Liang Si, the biggest stubble in Zhenhe County, has been easily killed by the emperor, Liang Jin is naturally not stupid, in order to avoid becoming the target of public criticism in the future, he still chooses to save his life.
When Li Yuanlin sat in the main hall of the government and listened to Liu Shilang's reshaping of the case, Liang Jin wore a regular dress and knelt respectfully under the hall.
"You say, you want to resign from the post of Fucheng?"
The man sat on the high seat, glanced at Liu Shilang who was standing next to him, his eyes were all natural, and then looked at Liang Jin, who was holding his official uniform high above his head.
"Yes!" Liang Jin lowered his eyes, his mouth trembled slightly, "The subordinate knows that his own ability is insufficient, and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility, please ask the emperor to allow the subordinate to resign from the post of Zhenhe County Mansion!" ”
"Don't mention the ability for the time being," Li Yuanlin pinched the teacup in his hand and put it down gently: "Let me ask you, have you ever harmed the people?" Have you ever murdered your boss? ”
These are all things that Liang Si has done.
Liang Jin immediately shuddered when he thought of Liang Si's bone-chilling head on the ground, and denied it again and again: "Although the subordinate is incompetent, he has never done anything that hurts the heavens and reason, please let the emperor know it!" ”
"That's it!" Li Yuanlin raised his chin, and a satisfied smile appeared on his handsome face, "In this way, I agree with you to resign from the post of Zhenhe County Governor." ”
When Liang Jin heard this, his heart was suddenly relieved.
After a while, Li Yuanlin said again: "From now on, you will be the county guard of Zhenhe County!" The position of Fu Cheng will send a strong person! ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Shilang, who was originally standing beside him, froze, and Liang Jin under the hall was even more like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, with a very strange face.
"The Emperor's ......"
Liu Shilang and Liang Jin had a tacit understanding out of nowhere, and they spoke in unison.
Li Yuanlin yawned for a long time, got up and didn't give them a chance to speak: "This matter is settled, I am tired!" ”
After saying that, he walked away.
This position of county guard has become a hot potato that Liang Jin has to accept.
Ye Lingyi had been waiting outside the yamen for a long time, and as soon as Li Yuanlin came out, he collided with her.
The man lowered his eyes, smiled and asked the girl leaning against the wall, "Did you hear it?" ”
Ye Lingyi tilted her head and got up, not commenting.
The two walked along the long corridor outside the palace.
Ye Lingyi suddenly said, "Who does the emperor plan to send to be this mansion?" ”
The killing of Liang Si is bound to soon spread to the Shengning Palace, how can Liang Hou do nothing after his nephew dies?
Liang Jin witnessed Liang Si's death and did not dare to obey Liang Hou's orders again. Li Yuanlin's arrangement was also deliberately made for Empress Liang to see, she wanted to cultivate and strengthen the Liang family's forces, so he used Liang's people to separate her Liang family.
In this way, Empress Liang no longer trusts Liang Jin, and as the person personally designated by the emperor to replace Liang Si, he must be the first thorn in the flesh of Empress Liang after learning about this, and I am afraid that he will be eliminated as soon as possible.
In this way, it is difficult to guarantee that the death of Hoda will not be repeated, and the subordinate officials will murder their superiors, so Liang Jin will be in danger.
Li Yuanlin could guess her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Whoever is sent is the same, how can the Queen Mother be stupid enough to use the same method if she wants to kill him?" ”
Ye Lingyi thought about it, and it was right.
Liang Hou kills Liang Jin or not, as long as Liang Jin sits on the seat of the county guard for a day, and there is a lesson from Liang Si's past, everyone will think that Liang Jin coveted the high position and deliberately harmed Liang Si.
In this way, the division between the Liang family has been successful, and Li Yuanlin's goal has been achieved.
