Chapter 116: Corruption and Perversion of the Law
You go to find out, what is Zhao Mingsheng's identity, and how did the two Yun family sisters in the Holy Driving Party get into the Holy Driving. ”
After the emperor went to rest, Wu Guigui hurriedly ordered someone to investigate the matter, and it seemed that there were still many people who obeyed Zhao Mingsheng's orders, and his identity must not be low.
"Yes." A small group quickly responded and withdrew.
It was about an hour before he hurried back.
"Your Excellency." The little servant respectfully blessed the blessed body, and then reported: "The subordinates let people inquire, only to know that Zhao Mingsheng turned out to be the only son of the eldest princess, and this trip was a special trip to escort the emperor, and the two people of the Yun family followed the three highnesses into the capital at that time, and the emperor summoned them into the palace, and they were on duty in the imperial dining room. ”
The Eldest Princess's Mansion?
Wu Guigui's heart sank, and the bottom of his heart immediately crossed the ominous premonition, he used to be in the county jail, but he suffered a lot.
"Are you sure he's the son of the Eldest Princess's Mansion? Really, right? Nothing will go wrong, right? ”
Wu Guigui thought uneasily, at that time, he locked Zhao Mingsheng in the county government, and forced Yunyan to even sell the house, so he made up the silver and ransomed him, and this time he came back, and he had to settle old accounts with himself.
"Brother, what are you worried about? At that time, you didn't know his identity, not to mention that it had been so long, if he really wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, the emperor would not let you go. ”
Wu Baosheng patted him on the shoulder with one hand and said nonchalantly.
"We didn't dig up the silver from their hands back then, and now they're back, and they're coming with the Holy Driver, you know?"
Wu Guigui glanced at him angrily, he already knew that his status was noble, how could he dare to treat them like that.
"It's because he didn't reveal his identity, who is to blame? Besides, at that time, you also had your own reasons, and you didn't take it away for no reason, what are you afraid of. ”
Wu Baosheng thought about it, although he also felt a little dangerous, but he didn't take it seriously, what was there to be afraid of.
"Why did he stay here as a civilian? I didn't show my identity when I was caught? ”
Wu Guigui turned his gaze, and then asked the little guy again, which he really couldn't figure out.
"This Zhao Gongzi is also the nephew of Zhao Guifei in the current dynasty, and he came to us at that time to find Wei Ji San, and he didn't want to alarm others, so he concealed his identity and approached the people of the Yun family, and later Wei Ji San found it, so he returned to Beijing."
The little guy respectfully reported all the things he had heard.
"For the sake of the taste?" Wu Guigui thought thoughtfully.
He had heard of this thing earlier, but he didn't pay much attention to it, but he never thought that Zhao Guifei would let him look for it privately.
At that time, in the Zhen Zhai Restaurant, Zhao Mingsheng was calling people.
"I went to secretly check the account books and records of the county government in recent years, and those who were close to him, the records of the gifts he gave and received, and also investigated them clearly." Zhao Mingsheng said in a deep voice.
Earlier, Wu Guigui was greedy for a lot of silver taels, and the people here were inevitably persecuted by them, and when he came back this time, he would not let him go.
"Investigate the county lieutenant Wu? Childe, this is ......" Geng Yuan looked at him in surprise, and stopped talking.
"Just do what I tell you to do, and you don't have to worry about the rest." Zhao Mingsheng scolded coldly.
Geng Yuanfu responded, so he went down to investigate.
"When they come back this time, they will definitely be on guard, and if you let people check it, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find out."
Yunyan slowly walked out from behind the screen and said lightly.
"I can't find this, so how can I be on an errand in the eldest princess's mansion?" Zhao Mingsheng sat down slowly and poured her a cup of tea intimately.
"That's right, it's a person from the eldest princess's mansion, so it won't be so useless, but after you find out, what do you want to do? Give it to the emperor? ”
Yunyan nodded thoughtfully, wanting to ask him if he and the eldest princess had resolved the conflict, but when the words came to her lips, she was not easy to mention.
Sun Ying has always disagreed with their affairs, and he still left the mansion for himself, will she ask about this, will it make him unhappy?
As soon as Yunyan thought of this, he lowered his eyelids again.
"What do you think? It can't be that I suspect that I can't deal with that county lieutenant, right? Zhao Mingsheng flicked her forehead with one hand and said with a low smile.
"How is it possible with your identity? I'm just thinking, you had a conflict with the eldest princess earlier, and this time you came out, you ......"
Yun Yanxiu frowned slightly, but she still couldn't help but ask about it, after all, it was because of her, and she couldn't ignore it.
"Before leaving, my mother went to the restaurant to look for me, and this time she went on a tour with the holy car, and she gave some instructions, but she did not mention our affairs, and I think that in a little while, she will always agree."
The corners of Zhao Mingsheng's lips lifted slightly, and I knew that you were worried about this, so he slowly said this, so that she could rest assured.
"Have you ever mentioned to the eldest princess that Zhao Guifei wants her to stand on her side?" After thinking about it, Yunyan suddenly remembered this matter.
"Nope. My mother didn't want to take sides, and I didn't want to force it, so it was a natural thing. ”
Zhao Mingsheng shook his head slightly, he agreed with Sun Ying's approach in this matter, now that the prince is undecided, everything is still unknown, and rash team will bring many dangers to himself.
Sun Ying can survive in the battle of the royal family until now, and she has her own considerations for these things.
"Well, it's good, you're tired of this trip, so let's rest first."
Under the head of the clouds, he got up and left.
In the past few days, Wu Guigui has been running to Zhenzhai from time to time, and he is very respectful, which has aroused the curiosity of many people.
"Who lives in this delicacies? Why does the county lieutenant often go there in person, I haven't seen him go for so long! ”
"You don't know yet, huh? I heard that he came from the capital, and it seems to be a big official! A few days ago, the county lieutenant specially prepared a post house for him to stay, but somehow, this adult wanted to go to Zhenzhai for dinner. ”
"I've heard about it, and it's from the capital."
Everyone said a word, and they all looked inside with their heads cocked, but from the outside, they could not see anything except that there were more people.
"Over the years, Lord Wu has dealt with us a lot, and this time there is finally a big official from the capital, and we can't let him go."
I don't know who in the crowd suddenly said such a sentence, and all of a sudden everyone's emotions were also high, and they hit it off.
"It's just that we finally waited for such a rare opportunity, if the adults leave, who can still call the shots for us?"
"If we don't hurry up, won't we be even more sad in the future?"
Everyone spoke in unison, and after Wu Guigui and the others left Zhenyuzhai, they all walked inside.
On weekdays, in order to squeeze money out of them, Wu Guigui did not deduct some trumped-up charges and asked them to pay for the disaster.
At that time, they couldn't compete with it, so they gave money to avoid disasters, and this time it was rare for a big official to be here, and they couldn't let it go.
"There are adults resting here, and there are no guests here."
As soon as the shopkeeper and others saw them breaking in, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop them and explained politely.
"We want to ask the adults to make decisions for us!"
The leaders knelt down one after another, and they kowtowed one after another, and said in unison:
"Please make the decision for the grass people!"
The shopkeeper saw that there were more and more people, and he was worried that he would disturb the emperor, and was trying to get them to leave, but they still repeated this sentence, and they had no intention of getting up.
The movement outside finally alarmed the emperor in the private room, and he looked at Gonggong Zhang on the side unhappily, and said with a brush:
"Go out and see what's going on."
Gonggong Zhang responded to the blessing, and after withdrawing, he quickly returned, and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, there are many people outside, saying that the emperor is the master for them, and the county lieutenant is corrupt and bends the law, regardless ......of their life and death."
The more he spoke, the more gloomy the emperor's face became.
Gonggong Zhang immediately bowed down and said tremblingly: "The slave will let people drive them away." ”
But when he was about to go out, the emperor waved his hand to stop him.
"Wait, this trip is a private visit to Weifu, and the people will have such a practice, I'm afraid there must be clues in it, go out with me."
The emperor strode out, he wanted to see if the county lieutenant here was really as these people said.
"Your Excellency is resting, and when you wake up, we will report it, so you can leave first......
At that time, the guys and others outside were still trying to drive these people away, but there were too many people, and the people were not easy to use, so he was really helpless.
"Let them say, what's going on?"
The emperor flicked his sleeves lightly, and his sharp eyes swept over the people, just one glance, and everyone was stunned in their hearts.
"Emperor......" Sun Yu, Zhao Mingsheng and others were about to salute, but as soon as they said a word, the emperor had already waved his hand to stop it.
The two of them immediately bowed their heads slightly, and immediately changed their words to call him "adult".
During this trip, the emperor did not want to reveal his true identity.
"Please be enlightened! In order to collect money, Lord Wu did everything, and deliberately arrested the son of the grass people earlier, saying that he conspired with others and made a mistake, and he wanted the grass people to give 5,000 taels before he was willing to release him! ”
A middle-aged man led by him hurriedly kowtowed and said.
"The grass people too! Lord Wu also said that the grass people smuggled smuggled salt and arrested the grass people for no reason, so as to blackmail the grass people's families and let them raise money for the grass people, otherwise, the grass people would be put to death! ”
When the people saw that the lord was willing to listen to them, they all expressed their suffering, most of which were falsely accused, and the county lieutenant could extract silver taels from them.
There are also cases where the good land in the family is favored by the county lieutenant, and if he does not hand it over, he will take tough measures.
"Is there such a thing?" The emperor spoke coldly, and everywhere his eyes went, everyone felt a chill behind him, so it was not terrible.
"How dare the grass people deceive the adults? What the grass people say is true, if the adults don't believe it, they are all witnesses! ”
And the people thought that he was unbelieving, so they hurried to look at the people beside them, and they all confirmed it for them.
