Shang Yingkui had no fear, he expected that Shen Xi was only a good three-grade, and if he wanted to retaliate against him, he could only report to the imperial court and hand it over to the cabinet and the emperor for disposal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

No matter how you look at it, Shen Xi is not qualified to interrogate him, let alone remove him from his official position and ask him for his guilt.

Shen Xi's face turned grim and asked, "Shang Fantai intends to shield this sinner woman?" ”

Shang Yingkui sneered: "Shen Zhongcheng, don't frame her empty mouth, this woman is a person from my Fuzhou Sect Office, and she has always been law-abiding, so dare to ask what crime she committed?" ”

Shen Xi smiled and clapped his hands: "It's a good fortune to be in charge, but you are in the dust, but you take refuge in a powerful and responsible man like Shang Fantai, who shelters you from the wind and rain, even if you are guilty, I will bear it for you!" ”

"Hmph."

Zi Qian's head was caressed by Shang Yingkui's hand, but she still struggled desperately to raise her head and glared at Shen Xi, as if to say, if you have the ability, you can also find such a tough backer.

"It's a pity." Shen Xi's words changed, "In the past few years, the master has entangled the bandits in Fuzhou City, bullied the market, killed people and set fires, and did all kinds of evil, no different from bandits. This official was ordered by the emperor to go to the southeast to quell the bandits, and it is the unshirkable responsibility of this official to eradicate such a person who is in charge! ”

Zi Qiangou took advantage of the human power and shouted: "Lord Shen is really good at buttoning the hat of the slave family, but the slave family is a weak woman, how can he ever have the ability to kill people and set fires?" ”

Shen Xi smiled and didn't say anything, but the old Confucian master Lin next to Zi Qian said sneeringly: "When ...... In charge, Lord Shen didn't frame us...... In the past few years, we have indeed done a lot of murder and arson, all of which you instructed your subordinates to do! You can't let the little ones bear it! ”

Zi Qian was furious: "Old thing, you ...... What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Master Lin looked wronged and kowtowed to Shen Xi: "Big ...... Adults, the little ones are all confessed, everything the villain does is under the instructions of the master, just want to let the little one go, and the little one is willing to confess! ”

Zi Qian was at a loss, but Shang Yingkui had a flexible brain, and understood that this Master Lin was most likely bought by Shen Xi's coercion and temptation. Shang Yingkui was cunning and decisive, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he directly drew a knife from the waists of the officers and soldiers behind him and prepared to kill people, but Master Lin slipped his head very much, knowing that he had offended people ruthlessly, and climbed to Shen Xi's side with a rolling belt.

Shang Yingkui didn't grab the knife and was pressed to the ground by the officers and soldiers.

Shen Xi stood up, stopped in front of Master Lin, and shouted at Shang Yingkui: "Shang Fantai, are you trying to kill people?" ”

Shang Yingkui stared at Shen Xi with wide eyes: "Such a treacherous villain, it is not a pity to die, and he speaks upside down, how can he be used as a witness?" ”

"Can it be used as a witness, but it's not Shang Fantai who can call the shots, a provincial prison, shouldn't Tao Zhentai be asked first?" Shen Xi turned his head to look at Tao Yan, the envoy of the sentence, and said, "What does Mr. Tao think?" ”

Shen Xi called Tao Yan "sir", which seemed very respectful, which made Shang Yingkui vigilant.

Tao Yan is a rare honest and honest official, each meal only on a plate of light vegetarian dishes, the people to Tao Yan called "green vegetable Tao", in office for more than a year, Shang Yingkui many times to win over Tao Yan.

Prior to this, Tao Yan had impeached the Fujian political envoy to the imperial court for doing evil in the local area.

If it weren't for Shang Yingkui's jealousy of Tao Yan's prestige, he would have taken action to inflict harm, and Shang Yingkui thought that he was about to be transferred to other places, and the land in Fujian was almost scraped, so there was no need to worry about Tao Yan.

Shang Yingkui struggled to stand up, turned his head and glared at the two officers and soldiers who had knocked him down, and then shouted at Tao Yan: "Tao Zhentai, you have to weigh it, your family ......."

Shen Xi interrupted Shang Yingkui's words and shouted, "Shang Fantai, are you trying to coerce the interrogators?" ”

Tao Yan had an indifferent attitude, he was half in the ground, even if others threatened his family, he didn't care too much. Such a clean official, who is notoriously upright and stubborn, said: "Since she is a sinner's subordinate, she can naturally be witnessed." ”

Shen Xi nodded, glanced at Chang Lan, who was a little dark-faced next to him, and said, "So there is a ...... for the witness."

Shang Yingkui shook his sleeves and said, "Lonely evidence does not stand!" ”

Shen Xi said coldly: "Call a few more people in and see if they are willing to accuse the criminal woman of murder and arson, and do evil!" ”

With Shen Xi's order, many of Zi Qian's subordinates were dragged in outside the door.

Surprisingly, these people are obviously under Shang Yingkui's nose, but they all insist that Zi Qian has done a lot of evil things, this is definitely not a trick to beat, or coercion, when these people testified against Zi Qian, many dirty things that Shang Yingkui didn't know about were reported.

Shang Yingkui originally relied on Zi Qian, but he moved two steps unconsciously, he looked at Shen Xi in surprise, Shen Xi looked calm and relaxed at this time, and his mind flashed: Shen Xi would never make a hasty move that night.

found more than a dozen people to come in and testify against Zi Qian, Shen Xi waved his hand: "With these people, I think the witnesses are enough." Does Mr. Tao have any objections? ”

Tao Yan shook his head with a businesslike attitude: "There is no objection." ”

"That's good......"

"Wait."

Just as Shen Xi was about to continue the trial, Shang Yingkui suddenly stopped and said, "Shen ...... Lord Shen, these people ...... You can't find all of them, right? ”

Shen Xi pouted: "These people were originally subordinates of the sinner, when did they become appointed by the officials?" ”

Before Shen Xi continued to try the case, Master Lin kowtowed: "Lord Shen, the little one has been by the side of the master for a long time, the things she did to kill people and set fires on weekdays, when she sent whom, what evil things she did, the small ones are recorded one by one, and the number of silver taels that the master of the family respects to each yamen on weekdays, the receipts received by both parties, and the small ones are also properly kept." Now the box containing the evidence of the crime is in the courtyard outside, and please let the adults know what is going on. And tonight's arson at the official post was also a decision made by the master, she said that she would burn all the adults and your entourage to death, and then cause an accidental fire to escape responsibility. ”

Shen Xi was very satisfied with the words of the old Confucian Master Lin, nodded and said, "Master Zi, what else do you have to say?" ”

"It's false, it's false!"

Zi Qian roared like crazy, whether it was bullying the market and killing people to oversell goods, or sending people to set fire to the court officials, both of them were capital crimes, now it seems that the evidence is conclusive, according to the prosecutor's side, it is impossible to help her, she pulled Shang Yingkui's trouser leg and said, "Lord Shang, you have to be the master of the people's daughter." ”

"Oh?"

Shen Xi looked at Shang Yingkui with a narrow smile on his face, as if to say, now that the evidence is conclusive, you should fulfill what you said before and make the decision for her.

Shang Yingkui was looked at by everyone, his face turned red and blue, blue turned purple, purple turned black, and kicked Zi Qian away with the last kick, it was obvious that at this time he knew what it meant to abandon the car and protect the handsome, even if he arranged for Zi Qian to do those things, he had to clear up the relationship at this moment.

Shang Yingkui had an indisputable look of hatred on his face: "Zi clan, in vain, this official trusts you so much, but I didn't expect you to do a lot of things that hurt heaven and reason, and this official is a provincial domain, so he should uphold the law and order." Tao Zhentai, the sinner woman will be handed over to the Yamen of the Priest to deal with! ”

When he said this, it seemed that he would maintain law and order and let the prosecutor in charge of the prison come out to deal with it, but it was actually a delaying tactic, and when Shen Xi left, he would always have a way to bail Zi Qian out.

Tao Yan didn't dare to make a claim.

Shen Xi characterized Zi Qian as a bandit, so that the case was no longer a criminal sentence in Fujian and could be handled by the prosecutor and envoy, and everything needed to be handed over to Shen Xi, the minister of supervision and who was responsible for quelling the local bandits, who was ordered by the imperial court to make a decision.

Shen Xi had a peaceful smile on his face and said, "The Zi family is just the head of the Fuzhou Sect Division, and he has no power or power, how can he do evil in Fuzhou for many years?" Presumably, someone behind it acts as its umbrella, huh...... Shang Fantai said that he wanted to support her before, wouldn't it be you? ”

Shang Yingkui didn't dare to directly reprimand Shen Xi at this time, he had the manpower of the political envoy in his hands, but they were all soap subordinates, not officials and soldiers.

Now that the people of the Fujian Xingdu Division control Fuzhou City, even the Fujian Capital Division commander Chang Lan is also silent beside him, whoever holds the military power will be even more horizontal, he collides with Shen Xi, that is self-defeating.

"Shen Zhongcheng, you can't believe the instigation of others, this official is not familiar with the daughter of the Zi family, but I just care about her for the people under my jurisdiction, so I naturally want to support her and make the decision, if you are any one of the people, this official will be like this." Shang Yingkui is not ashamed.

"Okay, Shang Fantai deserves to be a good official who is the master of the people." Shen Xi began to clap his hands again.

For some reason, every time Shen Xi clapped his hands, it made Shang Yingkui, Chang Lan and others tremble, because Shen Xi would inevitably bring out a ruthless killing move after a word of praise.

This time was no exception.

Shen Xi said: "Come on, bring up the evidence of Zi's corruption and perversion of the law, open the account book, and see how many bribes have been sent to the yamen at all levels!" ”

This time, Shang Yingkui didn't need to speak, Chang Lan next to him spoke first: "Lord Shen, I don't think it's necessary, right?" ”

In a word, it exposes Chang Lan's weakness as a thief.

The political envoys and the commanders of the envoys, one is in charge of local administration, and the other is in charge of the military power of a province, and Zi Qian has never been equal to the filial piety of both sides.

Shen Xi asked in surprise, "Why is Chang Dushi so nervous?" The official has roughly read the evidence before, and he didn't mention that he commanded the envoy and the yamen, so it ......"

Chang Lan was shocked at first, and then he was puzzled, Zi Qian had sent so many financial gifts to the command of the envoy Yamen for more than a year, but there was no record?

Then he figured it out, it wasn't that he didn't send it, it wasn't that he didn't record it, but that Shen Xi deliberately said no. He realized that Shen Xi just wanted to settle the account with Shang Yingkui, and the matter would not involve the Fujian Command Envoy.

Thinking of this, Chang Lan's hanging heart finally relaxed.

I said earlier, although Shang Yingkui and I were embarrassed in the matter of corruption and perversion of the law, I didn't have any less thoughts than you Shen Daren to get rid of this old horseman, who told that old horseman to look down on us soldiers?

Fly separately when disaster comes!

Chang Lan clenched his fists and proposed: "Lord Shen, the last general has no intention of stopping it, he just wants to say ...... Is it safer to go to the inner hall for inspection? ”
