【0674 Yang Xue】
When Wei Bao heard this, he was suddenly angry and went crazy? I'm mad at you!
Wei Bao saw that this Lord Rong was only thirty or forty years old, and he was wearing the same seventh-grade official uniform as himself, and secretly wondered that he couldn't be one of the people who was beaten by him that day, right? The people I fought that day were at least high-ranking officials above the third grade, can it be your turn to be a kid?
However, Wei Bao is still quite smart, and he immediately figured out that he must have beaten the elders of this kid's family! Those who are officials are all in the same spirit, and they are passed down from generation to generation.
"What's the matter? Did I hit any of your adults that day? Whoever dares to make trouble in front of Dong Li Niangniang's spirit is looking for a fight! Wei Bao is neither humble nor arrogant, and it is quite provocative.
Wei Bao actually always admonishes himself to keep a low profile, but when he is overbearing to others, he often can't help it, especially if others have a little aggressive attitude, then Wei Bao can't help it even more.
Rong Zhengyu was furious when he heard this, although his grade is not high, but his father is the right capital of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, a high-ranking official of the second grade, in the entire Beijing officialdom, in the entire Ming officialdom, he is a well-known big man, how many people dare to be so presumptuous in front of him?
"Boy! Aren't you the new scout? Isn't it the godfather of Dong Li Niang's mother's family? Now that Dongli Niangniang has passed away, your backers have fallen, what are you still crazy about? Rong Zhengyu couldn't hold back and wanted to beat Wei Bao, "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will call someone to kill you now!?" ”
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is generally a jinshi to have the opportunity to enter, and after the entrance examination, it is necessary to be sent to the local first, and then the local officials who perform better, so that they have the opportunity to enter the metropolitan procuratorate, stay in the metropolitan procuratorate for a few years, and then go out to the locality, that is, the provincial high-level officials, and then return to the capital, they are high-ranking officials in the ministry, more lucky, more powerful, and can also enter the cabinet.
This is the normal order of promotion in the Ming officialdom.
But Rong Zhengyu didn't have the ability to pass the scientific examination and be promoted, and the family tried to get him a showman, Rong Zhengyu couldn't even pass the exam, and then his father took advantage of the emperor's good mood to ask for an official for his son.
Wei Zhongxian didn't lie to Wei Bao at the beginning, in Daming, no matter how powerful he is, if he doesn't have the ability, it will be really difficult to buy it with silver when it comes to the scientific examination at the level of lifting people and jinshi.
Daming's scientific discipline is still very strong, which is also the last fig leaf to maintain the rule.
Because Rong Zhengyu has poor knowledge and belongs to the authentic gentlemen, his speech is also vulgar, not as literate as other officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"Kill me?" Wei Bao smiled slightly, and said to the people present: "Everyone heard it, right?" This guy is openly threatening me! Blatantly threatened the imperial court officials, I will sue Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and you all have to testify! ”
Rong Zhengyu was startled, and regretted his words a little.
Li Limin was also taken aback, and hurriedly said to Wei Bao: "Everyone is a colleague, Master Wei, you don't have to be so stiff, right?" Lord Rong, you too, you can't joke about it. ”
Li Limin acted as a peacemaker, but anyone could hear that he meant to help Rong Zhengyu, after all, Rong Zhengyu's father was a figure who called for wind and rain in the court, and the Rong family was now on Wei Zhongxian's big ship.
Wei Bao didn't care, and looked at Rong Zhengyu coldly.
"Master Li, where do I have the leisure time to talk to such people? He jumped out on his own! Everybody's seen it, right? Rong Zhengyu said to the old grandson of the cell head: "Go, take people to death row!" ”
"Yes, yes." Lao Sun Tou didn't want to get involved in the rights and wrongs of the people who were officials, so he couldn't wait to leave.
"Wait, what kind of person is this, what kind of case is this?" Wei Bao asked.
Rong Zheng's words were angry, Li Limin reconciled just now, and he no longer had a head-on confrontation with Wei Bao, how much anger did he have to endure for a gentleman like him? I didn't expect Wei Bao to dare to take care of his own affairs!
"Is it your turn? This is my case! Rong Zheng said sharply, glaring at Wei Bao fiercely.
"Why can't I ask it? I'm now in the prison to watch the government, and I have the right to ask about anything in the prison! Wei Bao didn't give way.
Rong Zheng said in a tone: "Okay, I'll tell you now, you don't have to watch the government in the prison anymore!" ’
"How old are you? You are the seventh product, I am also the seventh product, and you are not the experience of the experience of the Division, everything, why do you assign me to do something? Wei Bao laughed.
Rong Zhengyu immediately yelled at Li Limin: "Lord Li, did you let this person come to the prison to observe the government?" ”
Li Limin was also dizzy, originally asked Wei Bao to come to the prison to watch the government, because he wanted to get Wei Bao, the plague god, away, so that he could have a good time, but he didn't expect that Wei Bao was too capable of causing trouble, and he could actually run into trouble when he came to the prison.
Li Limin hurriedly said to Wei Bao: "Lord Wei, this is Lord Rong's case, don't you want to do it?" ”
Who knew that Wei Bao didn't say a word, and took off the mask of the woman's prisoner at once.
I saw a strange-looking woman, with a black cloth in her mouth, staring at her eyes, whining, her hair on her forehead was scattered, and her face was beads of sweat.
"You are presumptuous!" Rong Zhengyu was shocked and yelled at Wei Bao: "What do you want to do? ”
This woman was secretly captured by Rong Zhengyu, and she was still in a top secret state, but she didn't expect Wei Bao to reveal the true face of the woman all of a sudden.
"As I said, I am the ruler of the prison, and I have the right to know about any criminal or case." Wei Bao smiled: "Why are you Lord Rong so afraid?" Or is there something shady about it? Who is this woman? ”
"Who she is, it's not your turn! Take the prisoners away! Rong Zhengyu said angrily to the old grandson.
The old grandson was so frightened that he hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly said to the two jailers: "What are you doing in a daze?" Put people on death row! ”
The two jailers agreed, and were about to walk.
Who knew that Wei Bao moved so fast, and suddenly pulled out the strip of cloth from the woman's mouth.
As soon as the woman's mouth was freed, she immediately shouted: "I am Yang Lian's daughter!" My name is Yang Xue! Help me! ”
Rong Zhengyu was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to kill Wei Bao now, but he didn't expect this Wei Bao to be so Meng Lang that he dared to tear off the strip of cloth in Yang Xue's mouth.
Wei Bao looked at Rong Zhengyu suspiciously: "Lord Rong, Lord Yang Lian is the deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, right?" A dignified and high-ranking official, does anyone know that you caught Lord Yang's daughter like this? ”
"What does it have to do with you? Brat! I advise you to leave it alone! This is a big case, who dares to leak a word and cut it all over the house! Rong Zheng said in a threatening tone.
"Phew! These robbers have taken me captive! Someone was sent to trick me to the entrance of the alley at home, and a few people got out of the carriage and tied me up! It's all shady deeds. Yang Xue had already heard that this very young official seemed to be working against the older official, and the older one was the initiator of this matter.
Wei Bao nodded, after glancing at Yang Xue, he looked at Rong Zhengyu: "Lord Rong, this is your mistake, our Duchayuan is an upright yamen, if you want to check Lord Yang, you can naturally check it publicly, why use such a means to tie up someone's daughter?" ”
"The surname is Wei, I have already saved your face, don't be embarrassed! This is a big case, and it is not your turn to be long-winded! Rong Zhengyu threatened again.
"Okay, I'll go tell the Yang family now, you secretly tied up Miss Yang, and it is estimated that the family is already in a hurry." Wei Bao sneered.
"You dare!" Rong Zheng said sharply: "Come on, don't let Wei Bao leave the prison." ”
Several of the servants who followed Rong Zhengyu agreed in unison.
"Master Wei." Yang Xue called Wei Bao worriedly.
Wei Bao smiled at Yang Xue and blinked.
Yang Xue was slightly stunned, her frosty face was slightly uneasy, her smart eyes flickered slightly, she herself was a little scared, but now she was more worried about this young little adult.
After all, Yang Xue is Yang Lian's daughter, the daughter of the official family, even if she has not seen any big storms since she was a child, she has heard a lot about things in the court, and her courage is definitely stronger than that of a folk woman, she doesn't want to involve others because of herself. Since this official surnamed Rong dares to forcibly kidnap himself like this, he must have a great background, and this adult surnamed Wei is so young, and he has always been threatened by the surname Rong, and he is a newcomer to officialdom at first glance, and listening to what they said just now, it seems that this Lord Wei is just a politician.
Although the two of them are of the same level, the power seems to be far apart, and this surnamed Rong seems to be a genuine superintendent of the imperial history!
The supervision of the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty is only seven products, but the power can be big or small, big, and even the affairs of the emperor's relatives have the right to ask!
"What's the matter? You want to detain me, the court official? What did I do? Who gives you the power? Do you know that as long as I don't see anyone when I get off work, how many people will ask you for someone? Wei Bao smiled slightly and looked at Rong Zhengyu playfully. I think this guy is still so naïve at the age of thirty or forty, you are the emperor, who do you want to arrest and who you want? Even if it's Wei Zhongxian, before he wants to arrest someone, he has to sum it up first, right? Da Ming is not dark enough to assassinate at will, right? When you are in the darkness before dawn, when it is the period of old Chiang's military command?
Rong Zhengyu himself also knew that he didn't have the authority to blatantly arrest Wei Bao, he was in a hurry just now, and he couldn't help but not threaten, but when he saw that he couldn't scare Wei Bao at all, he couldn't help but worry a lot, and his brows were tightly locked.
"What the hell do you want?" Rong Zhengyu stared at Wei Baodao.
"I don't care what you want to do, it's not right for you to sneak around and arrest people, hurry up and let Miss Yang go! This matter, as long as Miss Yang doesn't say it, I will never say it, just treat it as if it never happened. Wei Bao said.
Rong Zhengyu looked at Wei Bao suspiciously: "Are you from Donglin?" ”
Rong Zhengyu is definitely unlikely that Wei Bao is on Donglin's side, because among the high-ranking officials that Wei Bao fought in the palace, many of them are high-ranking officials of the Donglin Party.
"Neither is my side! The most annoying thing for you people who engage in party strife, I'm also for your own good! Wei Bao wrote lightly: "Now that the matter has been revealed, if you don't turn back as soon as possible, you can only suffer the loss." ”
Rong Zhengyu was moved by Wei Bao's words, he froze there, he hated it, I don't know if the yellow calendar is wrong today, how did he meet such an irrelevant person?
Li Limin was also very embarrassed, he didn't want to leave, and it was inconvenient to say anything, and he was secretly annoyed that Wei Bao was troublesome.
This matter is very simple, Li Limin can see at a glance that a group of people from the Wei family are trying to break through Yang Lian's daughter by kidnapping Yang Lian's daughter and find trouble with Yang Lian.
"It's not that simple! You can't get out right now! Rong Zhengyu was dumbfounded. Since he is here, this face must be held on: "Come on, put this person on death row first!" ”
"Why are you imprisoning me? What the hell have I done? Yang Xue protested loudly.
"I'm the Overseer! You have a very close relationship with the daughter of Xiong Tingbi! Rong Zhengyu roared: "Someone reported that your Yang family accepted bribes from the Xiong family!" You have to get out early, confess your sins quickly, and you can get out. ”
"You are talking nonsense, everyone is up and down, who doesn't know that my father is a good official with clean sleeves." Yang Xue said, a delicate and fair little face turned red.
Yang Xue is not only angry, but also very aggrieved, she has a good relationship with Xiong Tingbi's daughter Xiong Xin'er, but that is because the two families originally lived very closely, since the Xiong family moved out of their alley, Yang Xue has not seen Xiong Xin'er for a long time, let alone the Xiong family gave their family a bribe.
"Whether your father received the Xiong's money, who can say clearly? If it is confiscated, why don't others report others, but only your Yang family!? Rong Zheng said: "This is not a big deal, as long as you honestly admit your guilt, I will say that you voluntarily surrendered, and you will be punished lightly, or you will not be blamed in the past." ”
Wei Bao sweated, this Miss Yang should be older than him, she is already a big girl, are you a little girl wearing open crotch pants? So easy to deceive?
Yang Xue was shocked by the tears in Rong Zheng's tone, "You have less blood and spew!" I've never received any money from the Xiong family, and my father couldn't have done such a thing! Let me go, or my father won't be able to spare you! Yang Xue said loudly: "I know that you are eunuchs and want to frame my father!" Are you all stupid in the world? ”
Rong Zhengyu sneered, "The mouth is quite hard!" However, when you get here, you can't help it! ”
As he spoke, Rong Zhengyu said to several jailers: "Put the prisoners on death row!" ”
The guards of the Metropolitan Procuratorate Prison agreed in unison, and escorted Yang Xue, who was protesting loudly, to the prison.
Although the scale of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is small, there are more than 10 prisons.
The death row is in the innermost part, equipped with thick door panels, only a small window, which can only accommodate the size of a head, and the window can still be closed, and the situation on death row is not visible from the outside.
Rong Zhengyu turned to look at Wei Bao: "You can't leave until you get off work!" I didn't embarrass you, and don't embarrass me! I'm handling a case now, you're a politician, it's inconvenient to go on death row, you don't have anything to say, right? ”
Wei Bao is indeed not qualified to criticize the official errand of Rong Zhengyu and other supervising imperial history, "Lord Rong! ”
After Wei Bao screamed, he didn't know what to say.
Rong Zhengyu sneered, "If I were you, I would have seen nothing!" Get together with the Donglin people, a dead end! ”
Li Limin said yes while pulling Wei Bao aside.
"Lord Rong, but please rest assured, I won't be going anywhere this afternoon, and I'll leave after work, Lord Rong, don't worry, I didn't see anything just now." Li Limin said.
Rong Zhengyu is not worried about Li Limin, in fact, he is not worried about Wei Bao, as long as he gets the confession from Yang Xue, his task will be completed, as for dealing with this Wei Bao, there is no hurry.
Wei Bao still wanted to say something, but he was pulled back to the errand room by Li Limin.
After Rong Zhengyu left, Li Limin complained to Wei Bao in a low voice: "Master Wei, you didn't listen to what I told you today, why did you uncover the head of the criminal just now?" ”
"He's sneaky, I have a problem when I see it, is it true that Da Ming arrests people like this?" Wei Bao Road.
"How they arrest people is none of our business! More is better than less, it's better to have nothing! You have completely offended Lord Rong now, so let's do it, from tomorrow, you can rest at home for two or three months, I'm doing this for your good! Li Limin looked distressed.
Wei Bao's heart warmed, and he also knew that Li Limin was for his own good, so he nodded and didn't say a word.
Li Limin sighed: "Whether you listen to it or not, you can't do it anymore!" Lord Wei, you are killing yourself, taking care of some idle things, and finding more people to drink when you are free, what is not better than that day? When the time comes, let's go straight home and forget all about this afternoon, do you hear? ”
Wei Bao snorted sullenly.
The two of them could hear the screams of women from the side of death row in the errand room here, and it was estimated that Rong Zhengyu had tortured Yang Xue.
Wei Bao didn't expect that he would be so ruthless to a delicate beauty, do these people understand what pity and cherishing jade is, should they be so ruthless?
Wei Bao wanted to go over and take a look, but Li Limin was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped him: "Lord Yang, what are you going to do?" ”
"I'll go take a look." Wei Bao said: "Don't worry, I'll take a look and don't speak." ”
Li Limin sighed: "What is there to see?" Just sit here and don't go anywhere. ”
Wei Bao had no choice but to listen with his ears pricked up.
The screams lasted for two incense sticks, and then there was no movement, and it was estimated that Yang Xue was knocked unconscious.
Wei Bao guessed that the next thing should be to pinch Yang Xue's unconscious finger and seal it, and a confession was done! What kind of world is this? Such a red fruit is a trick.
Wei Bao secretly wondered if he should report to the Yang family?
If you want to leave this matter alone, what will be the impact on yourself?
He couldn't make up his mind, he had always wanted to take the opportunity to observe the government to get acquainted with the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now he finally came across one, and the opportunity has come out, but Wei Bao really found that it was very tricky!
Wei Bao guessed, this time it was the Eunuch Party attacking the Donglin Party, and the next time it was encountered, it was not good that the Donglin Party attacked the Eunuch Party, anyway, it was just such a thing back and forth, either the Eunuch Party engaged in the Donglin Party, or the Donglin Party engaged in the Eunuch Party, if you want to maintain neutrality, both sides must not be offended, it is impossible, as long as you intervene, you must stand in line!
Wei Bao suddenly found that Wu Xiang was still powerful, and gave Wu Sanfu a yamen who didn't do anything at all to eat, drink and have fun, that was the real neutral, messing around.
After a while, Rong Zhengyu came over, glanced at Wei Bao and Li Limin who were in the errand room, Li Limin hurriedly got up and smiled: "Lord Rong." ”
Rong Zheng hummed and walked away with his hands behind his back, saying nothing.
Looks like it's done.
"Master Li, such a person, so arrogant, what do you care about him?" Wei Bao provoked.
Li Limin said with a smile: "Say hello and don't suffer, and there is no missing piece of meat, people's arrogance is someone's business, let's do a good job of etiquette." ”
Wei Bao gave Li Limin a thumbs up: "Makes sense." ”
The two of them waited until it was time to get off work before leaving the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Li Limin told Wei Bao again, asking Wei Bao not to worry about this matter, not to use it tomorrow, and to rest at home for two or three months.
Wei Bao perfunctorily agreed to ignore the matter, but insisted on going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to observe the government.
provoked Li Limin to sigh again, knowing that there was no way to take Wei Bao, he secretly thought that he would never come to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future, so how could Wei Bao die!
On the way back, Wei Bao asked Lin Wenbiao to go to the secret place agreed between him and Wei Zhongxian to report that Rong Zhengyu had arrested Yang Lian's daughter Yang Xue without authorization and tortured him to extract a confession.
Although he knew that the chief instigator behind this matter must be Wei Zhongxian, Wei Bao felt that since he had an agreement with Wei Zhongxian to act as a secret agent of the eunuch party, he had learned such a big news, and he must send someone to inform him! Even if he didn't tell Wei Zhongxian, Rong Zhengyu would definitely say that Wei Zhongxian would always know that he had met Yang Xue.
Back at the mansion, Wei Bao told Wu Xuexia about it.
Wu Xuexia said: "It's really better not to meddle in this matter, president, don't you go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate tomorrow, right?" Just listen to that Master Li, just rest at home for two or three months. The affairs of officialdom are really not in a hurry, the water between the Donglin Party and the Wei Department is too deep, and the two sides have become fire and water, you can't manage it casually, beware of setting yourself on fire. ”
Wei Bao doesn't like to listen to these words, and he doesn't understand these truths.
Wu Xuexia saw that Wei Bao stopped talking, and knew that he didn't like to listen, so she continued: "President, think about it, no matter how you shake your hands, you won't get any benefits?" What can you do now? Do you want to report to the Yang family secretly? In that case, Rong Zhengyu will definitely know immediately that you have leaked the news. Then you have to stand with the Donglin Party from now on, but at the moment, the Wei system is powerful, and if you stand with the Donglin Party, you will be calculated if you don't do it well. If someone really calculates the president, I guess the people of the Donglin Party may not be able to protect the president. ”
Wei Bao did think about sending someone to report to Yang Lian, but he felt that it didn't make much sense, because Rong Zhengyu must have already obtained Yang Xue's confession!
"Just watching the eunuchs act recklessly?" Wei Bao said unwillingly: "Is there any way to help the Donglin Party secretly, let the Donglin Party remember my goodness, and not offend the eunuch party?" ”
Wu Xuexia was speechless, is there such a good thing in this world?
