Chapter 1006: Ruthless
Zhao Yu listened to the incident, Zhao Hao was a little funny, the cause of the incident was very simple, but he was encountered by a Tanhualang who had just entered the career and had a great sense of justice. And then the events developed more than people imagined, when the Gao family reprimanded a servant who dumped garbage and apologized, even if it was a false promise. He felt that Zheng Sixiao might take it seriously, and he gave himself enough face, and he would not pursue it again.
Because the Gao family has an official background and has money in their pockets, they are naturally bold, and they don't put the old scholar in front of them in their eyes at all. If the Gao family apologized to such a guy and bowed his head to admit his mistakes, it would be extremely humiliating, so he stretched out his hand to teach him a lesson without any scruples. But as soon as the action was made, events took an unpredictable turn.
At present, it is not only the Gao family and Zheng Sixiao who are involved in the matter, but also the Lin'an Mansion, so the nature of the incident has changed, and it is no longer a personal grudge between the two people, but a conflict between the government and the people. Zhao Yu believes that Gao Gui, who has been in the officialdom for decades, will not understand, and it is impossible to avoid it in front of everyone.
However, Lin'an Mansion is also facing the same dilemma, and the facts are already very clear, the Gao family is at fault for bullying people first, and accidentally offended an imperial historian, and things are easy to be stabbed in front of the emperor. What's even worse is that they actually chased and beat the officials of Lin'an Mansion along the street, which is tantamount to slapping Lin'an Mansion in public, and if they are not severely punished, it is tantamount to admitting their incompetence.
At the moment, the little emperor was holding the concubine with one hand, touching his chin with the other, and even with a smile on his face, he was completely looking lively. Tan Fei was vigilant from the beginning, and did not dare to relax at all, worried that the little emperor would be involved in this matter for a while, he was not worried that he would not be able to control the situation, but that he was afraid that the identity of the little emperor would be exposed, because Zheng Sixiao and Gao Gui knew him on the scene, and maybe someone in the Lin'an Mansion knew him, once they were surprised and called out, it would be a big trouble, not only could he not explain, but the little emperor was inevitably reprimanded by the queen mother, and the queen complained.
"Childe, Governor Cai has arrived, I think he will be able to handle this matter properly, let's go back!" Tan Fei looked around and found that Cai Wanyi had also arrived at the scene surrounded by his entourage, so he whispered.
"This Lin'an prefect is actually a peacemaker, I'm afraid I can't afford to provoke that old man!" Li Gou'er also heard it and interjected with a grin.
"Oh, I heard that Cai Zhifu is not a soft persimmon, and he is still a little responsible!" Zhao Yu twisted his face to look at Li Gou'er and said.
"Eh, this Lin'an Mansion is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the most important thing is that the people are happy, safe and sound, and the emperor also wants the prosperous era of Yao Shun who does not leave no stone unturned and does not close the door at night. And there are so many officials in this city, Shangshu and squires are all over the place, and the emperor and emperor can see him everywhere, who can a four-grade prefect be able to provoke. Therefore, if this Lin'an Mansion Yin wants to mix well, he has to hide it from the emperor; The following should also appease these royal relatives and nobles, and turn a blind eye to the dirty things they have done. In this way, everyone's life is better, and he can't afford to offend the Gao family today, and he can't afford to provoke the imperial history......" Li Gou'er said with a smile.
"I heard that this Cai Zhifu is a close minister of the emperor, can't he provoke an official who has already become a minister!" Zhao Yu continued.
"Having said that, there is something good at the top, and there must be a trend at the bottom. Which official family doesn't like the peace of the world, since Governor Cai is a close minister, how can he not know, he can naturally hide it, and he will never disturb the official family for such a trivial matter. Li Gou'er said.
"How do you mean this to end?" Zhao Yu pointed to the tense scene. At this time, the soldiers of the Lin'an Mansion and the Inspection Department were already in place and set up a position, Cai Wanyi was asking about the beginning and end of the incident, and Zheng Sixiao was constantly questioning with an angry face. And Gao Gui has also gotten off the sedan chair, sitting under the corridor of the restaurant and talking to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, as if discussing countermeasures.
"The most important thing in the officialdom is face, how can Lin'an Mansion say that it is also the yamen in charge of Gyeonggi, how can the Gao family beat the officials of Lin'an Mansion to give an explanation, most of them are to find two idle men to bear the crime, fine some silver, and give some soup and medicine money to the beaten officials." Li Gou'er said, "Then Zheng Yushi naturally can't be beaten in vain, so he has to give some silver money to appease him again." If he knew each other, he would have received the money and had peace of mind. ”
"What if they don't know each other?" Zhao Hao asked again.
"If you don't know each other, the Gao family will naturally find someone to make peace again, if it doesn't work out again. With their connections, they are not afraid, and they make some money up and down, and they turn big things into small things, so that he has no way to sue. Or if they find some mistakes, they can be expelled from Beijing, which is not difficult. Although the Gao family spent some money, they saved their face, and Lin'an Mansion was able to pay their heads up. Li Gou'er said disdainfully.
"Really?" Zhao Yu nodded.
"Go ahead, don't disturb my son-in-law!" Tan Fei saw that the little emperor's face was as usual, but the hand touching his chin involuntarily rubbed twice, and he realized that the little emperor was suspicious. If he let this nonsense continue, he was afraid that he was going to do it, so he hurriedly waved his hand to let Li Gou'er leave.
"This ......" Li Gou'er was stunned for a moment, but said with a charming smile, "The son has just arrived, and who is very deep in this Beijing, don't be deceived by those little guys, the little ones can serve and help one or two!" ”
"My son-in-law has his own servants, don't worry about it!" Tan Fei saw that he still wanted to rely on it, so he darkened his face and said coldly.
"Childe, the little one is willing to serve before and after the saddle, just for food and clothing...... Eh, don't do it, I'll go, just don't regret it! Li Gou'er saw that Tan Fei was not good at talking, and thought that he was afraid that he would rob him of his job, so he turned to the main house and begged, but before he finished speaking, he was set up by the two. He knew that his rebellion was no longer successful, and he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke him, but he still left two cruel words before leaving stupidly.
"Childe, did your subordinates send a message to Governor Cai?" Tan Fei asked.
"No need, I believe that Cai Zhifu can handle it impartially!" Zhao Yu shook his head lightly. He said that in fact, he was not without worries in his heart, Cai Wanyi took over the prefect of Lin'an for less than a year, and the situation in Beijing was indeed as Li Gou'er said, and the situation was complicated, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would be ruined. However, during this time, Cai Wanyi did not make any political achievements, and his actions were also stable, giving people a feeling of incompetence, and he only got this high position by virtue of the emperor's favor. But he also knows that Cai Wanyi is the kind of person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he is waiting for the opportunity, an opportunity that can make him a blockbuster.
"Childe, the Gao family is really arrogant!" At this time, Chen Shu pointed to the little face on the field and said red, obviously she couldn't stand it anymore.
"If God wants it to perish, he must first let it run rampant!" Zhao Yu squeezed Chen Shu's hand and told her not to act rashly and continue to watch......
"It's really a sin to disturb the Cai Governor's Mansion with a trivial matter, these two people don't know what to do, and they actually beat the officials of the imperial court and the officials of the Lin'an Mansion, and my family and the country were furious when they heard it, and immediately tied up the two and handed them over to the government for disposal!" At this time, Gao Gui was still sitting under the porch of the restaurant drinking tea, and only sent a person who looked like a housekeeper to answer, and pointed to the two idlers who were tied up behind him.
"Gao Guogong is polite, but are these two the only ones to do it? I don't know if they have the ability to treat one as ten, or if my officials in Lin'an Mansion are too straw bales! Cai Wanyi did not return the salute, but asked with a smile.
"This ......" The official obviously didn't expect Cai Wanyi to ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"But you two beat people with your hands?" Cai Wanyi asked the two people who were kidnapped again.
"A good man is a good man, but what kind of Tanhualang is too arrogant, thinking that he can do whatever he wants when he becomes a royal historian, and eating can not be counted as wine and rice money. The small one can't see the eye before it theorizes, and it knows that it is wrong, so it takes advantage of its identity to beat the small one first, resulting in a fight. When he saw that a servant was coming, the wicked person sued first, and wanted to take me and the two of them to conflict again. This matter is all done by us and others, and it has nothing to do with Gao Guogong, whether it is to fight or kill, and if you frown, you are not a hero! One of them stepped forward and shouted.
"Okay, this is a real man, a hero who eliminates violence and peace!" As soon as the words fell, some people applauded, and a group of scoundrels and idlers also coaxed, and the scene was a little out of control for a while.
"It's really a thief biting into the bone, these guys are really upside down black and white, so shameless!" Tan Fei saw that the scene was a little out of control, and some of the people who watched the excitement didn't know what was going on, and they also believed a little bit of the two words, and pointed at Zheng Sixiao one after another, and some even spoke ill of him, but the little emperor didn't say anything, and he couldn't say much, so he could only hate and hate.
"Governor Cai, they are all talking nonsense, how could the lower officials do such a despicable thing!" Zheng Sixiao was annoyed when he saw this, and he felt even more helpless, so he could only argue.
"Right and wrong officials have their own judgment, you don't need to say more!" Cai Wanyi glanced at him and said with a straight face.
"Governor Cai also saw it, it was actually Zheng Yushi who had it first, these two strong men drew their swords to help each other when they saw injustice, and please judge!" Seeing that the situation had reversed again, the butler stepped forward again to salute.
"This official has already said that right and wrong have their own judgment!" Cai Wanyi's face was still sinking like water, and let him stand aside. And his own servants shouted and reprimanded, maintained the scene, and soon quieted down again.
"This official asked the two of you, but is it really Zheng Yushi and the official of this mansion that you beaten?" Cai Wanyi turned to the tied duo.
"Exactly!" The man nodded again.
"Okay, this official reminds you that beating the officials of the court will cost you fifty rods and eight hundred miles of exile; If you add to this the resistance to law enforcement, the crime of chasing and beating will be increased by one degree, one hundred rods, and exile of two thousand miles; And if what you say is false, you are guilty of falsehood. The three crimes will be punished together, and those who will be sentenced to death will not know if you can afford this crime! Cai Wanyi asked in a deep voice.
"This ......"
"Governor Cai, the two of them have already confessed, so why bother asking!" Seeing that the two of them were hesitant, the official family immediately stepped forward and said.
"This official asks about the case, how can you talk too much, and slap your mouth twenty!" Cai Wanyi glanced at him and said coldly.
"The little one has no other meaning...... Oops! When the housekeeper heard this, he panicked and wanted to explain, but a servant had already stepped forward and held him down and knelt down, and another executing officer stepped forward and rounded his arm and beat him.
"This guy is so clever that he should be beaten!" However, instead of hitting the mouth directly with the hand, special leather gloves should be worn to avoid awkward hands. And their colleagues have just been beaten, so they will naturally not be merciful, after twenty mouths are fanned, the official family is already full of blood, and the face is swollen like a pig's head, Chen Shu looked very relieved.
"Don't say much, look good!" Zhao Hao patted Chen Shu's hand and chuckled.
"Have you figured it out? Let them draw a charge! Cai Wanyi asked the two abducted murderers again, and seeing that they were still hesitating, he waved his hand to let the official who recorded the confession say.
"Prefect, little ......"
"The prefect is indiscriminate, alarmist and intimidating, and indiscriminately punished, he is a foolish official, and I will not accept it!" Seeing that the two were about to speak, someone in the crowd tried to stir up the emotions of the onlookers.
"If you have something to say, why hide behind people sneakily!" Cai Wanyi did not have good words to appease this time, but said sharply.
The onlookers of the "......" were immediately silenced when they heard this, knowing that the people were still afraid of officials, but they could not help but whisper, looking left and right to try to find out those who dared to 'speak out'.
"What do you two have to say?" Seeing that the scene was suppressed, Cai Wanyi asked again.
"Don't talk nonsense, we're talking about righteousness!" One was about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by another.
"The sin I just said is only closed for a few days at most, and I won't even be punished, but at the moment, I have to be confiscated, and I even have to lose my head, for more than a dozen dollars, I will never go, and my head is a fart without a righteous word!" The other refused.
"The money has been taken, but now I regret it, something that has no righteousness!" The man's hands were tied, but his legs were not tied, and he raised his legs and kicked him in the head, which ruined the tunnel.
"The prefect is intimidating, and he is trying to confuse the public, and the two pissful words are even more unbelievable. It is the protection of officials and officials, intending to exonerate the Tanhualang, and wants to hug other people's thick legs! Someone in the crowd roared again.
"Take that man down!" This time, Cai Wanyi saw clearly who the speaker was, and pointed to a person in the crowd.
"Let go of me, the prefect is so powerful, can't you say anything fair!" The man was dragged out of the crowd by the servants, and he shouted as he struggled.
"Hmph, demagoguery, stirring up right and wrong, trying to rebel, beheaded!" Cai Wanyi snorted coldly.
"Yes!" The officials were stunned for a moment when they heard this, they did not expect that the prefect, who had always been good-tempered, would actually execute people on the street. But after being silent for a moment, he immediately received the order in unison, kicked the man to the ground and tied him up, pulled him up and knelt on the ground, saying that it was too late and that was fast, the sword flashed, a cavity of blood spurted out, and the human head had already rolled to the ground......
