Chapter 239: Finally Found a Breakthrough
Originally, Feng Yu didn't have the heart to meddle in things, but now she was worried about what Li Xie would do, so she wanted to find out as soon as possible.
But the drumming sounded for a long time, and there was no one from the yamen to deal with the people who were complaining, so Fengyu couldn't stand it anymore.
Feng Yu thought that she could take this opportunity to take a look at the people's livelihood under Li Jie's jurisdiction, and maybe there would be other gains, so she took Xiao Yan and walked to the yamen together.
"This boy, why are you beating the drum here? But what grievances do you have to sue? ”
It was a man who was beating the drum, and when he saw Feng Yu and Xiao Yan looking upright, he immediately put down the drumstick and bowed to them.
"I've seen two sons."
"Childe doesn't have to be polite." Xiao Yan saluted the man back, then glanced at the big drum behind him, and asked, "Childe has a grievance?" ”
"The little one's name is Shan Che, he is a scholar, and he once transcribed for the Jiangzhou prefect, and he is considered half of his staff."
Staff? Fengyu glanced at Xiao Yan, and then asked Shan Che, "Then why are you drumming here?" ”
Shan Che saluted Fengyu and said, "I am beating the drum here today to voice grievances for my friend Jiangzhou. ”
"My friend Jiangzhou was arrested by the Jiangzhou prefect because he was disrespectful to the official before, and he has not been released yet."
Hearing what Shan Che said, Feng Yu and Xiao Yan were both a little confused, and Feng Yu hesitated: "If it's just a disrespectful speech, at most it will be okay to take a board, and the government shouldn't keep it locked all the time." ”
As she spoke, Feng Yu asked, "Did that friend of yours do anything else?" ”
Shan Che shook his head, "I don't know, since Jiangzhou was arrested, people in the government haven't allowed anyone to visit. ”
"But I dare to guarantee that Jiangzhou will not do anything that scatters his conscience, the two of you don't know, my friend is a righteous person."
Hearing this, Feng Yu and Xiao Yan were even more puzzled, if it was really what Shan Che said, Jiangzhou was a very good person, so why did Li Xie lock him up?
At this time, Xiao Yan leaned close to Feng Yu's ear and whispered, "Xu Ruyue." ”
Xu Ruyue? Feng Yu looked at Xiao Yan suspiciously, and reacted the next moment.
Where did the list on Xu Ruyue come from? This matter may have something to do with Shan Che's friend Jiangzhou.
Thinking of this, Feng Yu said to Shan Che: "Don't worry, we will help you." ”
After speaking, Feng Yu nodded to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan walked to the drum, picked up the drumstick and struck it hard, the strength of a martial arts practitioner is much greater than that of a scholar.
After beating the drum for a while, just as Xiao Yan was impatiently preparing to break down the door, someone finally came from the yamen.
When he saw Shan Che, he immediately scolded: "It's you again!" If you dare to beat the drum again, I will arrest you too. ”
Shan Che was so anxious that he wanted to open his mouth to argue, but was stopped by Feng Yu, who said to Yu Kuai: "The people of Guan should also be closed in accordance with the law of the country, but why have you been locked up in Jiangzhou, should there be a reasonable explanation?" ”
He glanced at Feng Yu up and down, and said disdainfully: "Where did you come from, little boy, let's go back and forth from where, don't be nosy." ”
Seeing that the arrest was enforcing the law like this, Feng Yu was immediately angry, and said sharply: "I'll take care of today's idle affairs." Not only will I take care of this, but I will also punish you. ”
Seeing that he was taught a lesson by a nobody, he was so angry that he said loudly: "You are looking for death!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled out his knife quickly, and when Xiao Yan saw this, he immediately threw the drumstick in his hand at the catcher.
The drumstick hit the face of the catcher, and the catcher screamed in pain, and his nose suddenly bled profusely.
"You dare to beat the official, I don't think you want to live! You wait for me, and I'll call someone to arrest you immediately. ”
Xiao Yan stood in front of Feng Yu, looked at the catcher and said in a deep voice: "Let your prefect come out to see me immediately." ”
Hearing Xiao Yan say that he wanted to see the prefect, and then looking at Xiao Yan and Fengyu's dress, he was frightened by the aura emanating from them.
"You...... Who the hell are you? ”
Xiao Yan looked at the catcher with a gloomy face, and said in a cold voice: "Didn't you hear what I said?" Let Lee Xie come out and see me! ”
Seeing Xiao Yan calling his name to the prefect of Jiangzhou, he immediately guessed that Xiao Yan's identity was not simple, and hurriedly ran into the yamen to find Li Jie.
After a while, Li Xie hurried over with the catcher, originally he thought that it was a troublemaker talking crazy, but when he remembered that the emperor was now in Jiangzhou, he was immediately frightened.
When he rushed out and saw Xiao Yan and Feng Yu, Li Xie was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"The lower official knocks to see the princess and meets the general."
Standing up straight, Li Xie said to Feng Yu and Xiao Yan: "The lower officials didn't know that the princess and the general were coming, and they missed the distance, so they asked the princess to forgive their sins." ”
Looking at Li Xie who was kneeling on the ground, Feng Yu sneered: "Master Li, you are really a great official. My father trusted you and made you the prefect of Jiangzhou, and that's how you governed Jiangzhou? ”
Li Xie hurriedly kowtowed in fear, and said in a trembling voice: "The princess forgives her sins, today's incident is really a misunderstanding, and it is all to blame for the poor discipline of the subordinate officials on weekdays, so that the people under him will offend the princess." ”
Shan Che and Yu Kuai next to him were frightened, none of them thought that these two people turned out to be the princess of the Northern Capital, as well as the general.
After the beaten catcher reacted quickly, he quickly knelt down to Feng Yu and begged for mercy: "The princess forgives her sins, it was the little one who offended the princess, and I begged the princess to spare the little one this time." ”
Li Xie straightened up and looked at Feng Yu, "Princess, today's facts are a misunderstanding, and please ask the princess to have a lot, don't worry about these subordinates." ”
Saying that, Li Xie said again: "The princess is noble, it is not appropriate to stay here, it is better to go to the official mansion and sit down and discuss something slowly." ”
Feng Yu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go to your mansion." After speaking, Feng Yu turned to look at Shan Che who was stunned, "You go with us." ”
When he saw Shan Che, Li Jie's eyes became a little complicated, but they quickly returned to their original state.
Coming to Li Jie's mansion, after everyone sat down, Feng Yu asked, "Lord Li, I can treat the rudeness of your subordinates to me as if it didn't happen." ”
But why did the people beat drums outside the yamen and shout their grievances, but the people from the yamen did not show up for a long time? Even if it appears later, it is a menacing non-trial case? ”
Fengyu's successive questions made Li Jie's forehead sweat, he glanced at Shan Che, and said: "The princess doesn't know, this Shan Che comes to cry out every once in a while, but he ......"
"I've heard about it." Feng Yu interrupted Li Xie and said with a serious expression: "What is going on in Jiangzhou's case? What did he do that kept you locked up for him? ”
Sure enough, when asked about Jiangzhou, Li Xie looked at Feng Yu and said with a little weakness, "This...... Jiangzhou, what he committed is really not very serious. ”
"But he still refuses to obey the law, and has repeatedly insulted the officials of the imperial court, so the lower officials want to detain him for a few more days to let him know that the national law of the northern capital is very strict."
Although Li Jie's head is the Tao, everyone present can see that Li Xie is obviously prevaricating Feng Yu, and Feng Yu naturally knows that he is prevaricating.
Seeing that Feng Yu and Xiao Yan were not talking, Shan Che next to him was a little anxious, for fear that they would be fooled by Li Xie like this.
In the end, Shan Che mustered up the courage to stand up and said loudly: "You are talking nonsense, he didn't commit anything at all in Jiangzhou, although I don't know very well why you keep keeping him locked up, but I dare to vouch with my life, Jiangzhou He will definitely not do anything that ignores his conscience." ”
"And ......" Speaking of this, Shan Che looked at Feng Yu and Xiao Yan before continuing: "And I also know that you privately increased taxes for the people of Jiangzhou. ”
"Speaking of which, I don't know if Jiangzhou was discovered by you because he knew about it, so you locked him up."
Shan Che's words made the atmosphere freeze suddenly, and Li Xie was so frightened that his face changed, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Feng Yu.
And Feng Yu looked at Li Xie with a sneer, "Lord Li, it is a big crime for you to conceal the imperial court's private taxes. and imprisoned Jiangzhou on suspicion of favoritism and fraud, are you guilty? ”
"Xiaguan ......" Li Xie glanced at Fengyu with a weak heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, Xiaguan is wronged." ”
sneered, Feng Yu didn't speak again, Xiao Yan looked at Li Xie with a gloomy face, and said in a low voice: "Lord Li, so far, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?" ”
Li Xie looked at Xiao Yan a little flustered, then looked at Feng Yu, and just wanted to speak, Xiao Yan said to him again: "Forget it, even if you talk to him now, from the perspective of your governance of Jiangzhou, I won't believe your words." ”
"In this way, you hand over Jiangzhou to me, I will investigate this matter clearly, and then report it to the emperor, so that the emperor can decide."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yan also looked at Fengyu, "I don't know what the princess thinks?" ”
After all, this is Fengyu's biggest, as long as she opens her mouth, Li Xie will not have to do what Xiao Yan tells her.
"General Xiao is right."
Feng Yu looked at Li Xie with a solemn face and said, "You hand over Jiangzhou to General Xiao, and he will be fully responsible for investigating this matter." ”
"As for you, stay in the mansion honestly first, and when the matter is investigated, then my father will deal with it."
At this point, it was useless for Li Xie to find any more reasons, so he could only say: "The lower officials obey the princess's orders." ”
Glancing at Li Jie, Feng Yu stood up and said to Shan Che, "Let's go." ”
When the three of them arrived at the door, Xiao Yan glanced at Li Xie coldly and said, "Master Li doesn't have to send it, it's better to hand over Jiangzhou to me as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, please rest assured that the general will arrange it as soon as possible."
After Feng Yu and the three left, Li Xie changed his calm appearance, entered the mansion in a panic, and then sent someone to send a message to Zhao Zongqi.
It is true that Li Xie is Xiao Qishan's person, but with his official position, he is not qualified to contact Xiao Qishan alone, so he can only contact Zhao Zongqi.
