(177) New hatred and old grudge

"Father, if it is the crime that accused Jiang Qingchen before, I can confront the two adults." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Okay, you tell them, if you can't find Shaobao." The emperor said, this is obviously leaving a way back for Yun Xiangrong.

One of the officials took a step back, and the other said, "Xiaguan, Liu Shengyi, I have seen the princess." ”

"Lord Liu, don't be so polite, you have something to say." Yun Xiangrong said.

This Liu Shengyi is a person that Yun Xiangrong has only known in the past two days, a very self-motivated young official, a person from the capital, who runs a restaurant at home, called Huixian Building, and the positioning of the restaurant is mass consumption, which is different from the consumer group of Wankelou.

However, Huixianlou is also recognized by the imperial court as a store, because of the different brewing processes, the materials used are also economical, and the price of the jade xu produced is also the cheapest liquor sold in all the main stores.

Liu Shengyi is also a talent cultivated by the Liu family, who spent a lot of money from a small family, and was also trained by a famous school in Beijing all the way. Fortunately, Liu Shengyi lived up to the expectations of his family and finally won the Jinshi.

It's a pity that the family has no relationship with the court, so he can only rely on himself, so he was assigned to the position of the Imperial History Tower, which has little authority and no room to play.

Fortunately, Liu Sheng was very clever, and soon climbed the high branch of Zhongshu Ling, he had a good personal relationship with Shi Yuan, he knew that Shi Yuan was interesting to Princess Rong, so he deliberately said just now that he invited Admiral Ye and Jiang Shaobao to go to court, in fact, he didn't want to offend the princess.

Do you want to say that Liu Shengyi has a personal grudge against Jiang Qingchen? There really isn't, but he really wants to get rid of Jiang Qingchen, the main reason is that the official positions in the court are limited, and if he gets one, he must have to fill it, so that he can have a chance to let the people of his faction come up.

At present, it is Ye Haihua who succeeds Jiang Qingchen, and everyone with a discerning eye knows that he is actually still the prince, but it is not as obvious as Jiang Qingchen.

If Jiang Qingchen can come back, the saint will definitely reuse it, and then he will occupy another place in his camp. It's better not to give him a chance to rehire now.

Women and men look at the problem from different angles, and the news that Yun Xiangrong got was that there was some contradiction between Liu Shengyi and Changping Houfu.

First, Liu Shengyi has a younger sister, who is one year younger than Jiang Xi'an, and who runs a restaurant in the capital, can be regarded as a person in a circle. Always has to participate in the activities of the Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Xi'an has known this Liu girl many years ago.

At that time, Liu Shengyi was still a lifter, and he didn't know anyone on his official career, but he actually wanted his sister to marry Jiang Xi'an, so that he also had a backer of Changping Houfu on his official career, but Jiang Xi'an didn't agree. Liu Sheng felt very shameless and held a grudge against Jiang Xi'an.

The second is that a few years ago, there was an incident in the capital, that is, someone mixed the eyebrows of Wankelou with water and sold them as Yuxu, of course, but the price was the same as Yuxu, and it was actually sought after, saying that it was better than Yuxu.

Later, it became clear that this matter had nothing to do with Wankelou, but Liu Sheng felt that his family was very faceless, and a wine mixed with water was actually better than his own wine, and since then Huixianlou and Wankelou have broken off contact.

The third is that this year's first emperor's birthday, in order to remember the first emperor, the saint had a curfew in the whole capital that day, but Jiang Qingchen caught Liu Shengyi when he was routinely patrolling the streets at night, and when he asked, he realized that Liu Shengyi's father had committed an old illness and came out to find Langzhong.

Jiang Qingchen said in his heart, you can really give me eye medicine, you are very filial and good, but can't you send someone out? It's nothing to be caught like this, the ambiguity is over, after all, it's helpless to come out to find Lang Zhong.

Liu Sheng said wholeheartedly, I don't want to come in person, but now that the whole process is curfew, and the medical hall is closed, isn't he going to the house of Master Zhongshu Ling Shi to seek medical treatment? You can't send someone out, can you?

In fact, this matter should be in normal times, Jiang Qingchen should not have seen it, but that day was the birthday of the first emperor, and so many officials around him followed the streets, if he let go, I am afraid that others will also put him in. can only enforce the law according to the rules and give Liu Sheng a slap.

Yun Xiangrong felt that this Lord Liu would definitely hate Jiang Qingchen because of this matter, so what he was going to say today would definitely be aimed at Jiang Qingchen, in fact, Liu Sheng put this matter down early in the morning, and he understood Jiang Qingchen's helplessness at that time.

"I think the princess should have read the case file, but many adults in the court still don't know what I'm going to say, so I'll briefly say that a few months ago, Chen Zifa, Jiang Dongye, and Shangguan Xing were killed because of the encroachment on the shops of the people of the good family in the capital, and in the end, Chen Zifa was sentenced to ten years in exile, and Jiang Dongye and Shangguan Xing were sentenced to two years in exile. The same culpability is treated differently. Liu Shengyi said.

"Well, you go on." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Jiang Dongye is Jiang Qingchen's cousin, and it is said that Shangguan Xing's father, Shangguan Song, has a very good relationship with Jiang Qingchen, which is obviously using power for personal gain." Liu Shengyi said.

"Oh, first of all, I want to add that Chen Zifa is also a distant relative of Jiang Qingchen, and the relationship is really a bit far away, and the node is in the Fuguo Mansion. Actually, I think Lord Liu feels that the verdict is unfair, and he should ask Lord Yin Li of Jingzhao Mansion to explain, this should not be Jiang Qingchen's crime. Yun Xiangrong said rationally.

Liu Sheng didn't expect the princess to be so sensible, he thought it was to tear it up.

"I don't think it would have been for Jiang Qingchen's relationship, Lord Jingzhao Yin Li wouldn't have judged like this." Liu Shengyi said.

"Lord Liu, I don't know if you went to Jing Zhaoyin to verify the case, but as far as I know, these three people have different division of labor, and the part of the accident is mainly on Chen Zifa, if you want to feel that the sentence is light, it should be that Chen Zifa's sentence is a little light, because the General's Mansion was completely separated, but I think it's very far-fetched for you to pull Jiang Qingchen in." Yun Xiangrong said.

"According to my investigation, Jiang Shengzhan of the Jiang family is also involved in this matter, but it has not been reported, and he is still hiding in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, isn't this Jiang Qingchen's cover-up?" Liu Shengyi said.

"Lord Liu, you are not an ignorant person on the street, you said that the matter should be evidenced, I have seen that all the people in the case have not mentioned Jiang Shengzhan, you can't just talk nonsense because he is not in the capital, in fact, this matter is also very simple, if you are not convinced by the verdict, ask for a holy decree here from your father today, let Jingzhao Mansion reappear for verification, Dali Temple supervision, and guarantee that you will be given a fair verdict." But if the final result is not to uphold the original verdict, but to reduce the prison sentence, it is estimated that everyone will suddenly realize that Liu Dacai is the person from the side of the three criminals. Yun Xiangrong said.

"What do you mean, princess?" Liu Shengyi said.

"Okay, then I'll tell you in detail, the verdict in this case is to enforce the punishment of embezzlement of private land and shops in Chapter 3, Section 1 of the "Xiliang Statutes", Chen Zifa actually does not need to be sentenced to ten years, but he first forged the seal of the General's Mansion, and then forcibly bought and embezzled, causing a murder case. After the accident, he found someone to confess, so he was sentenced to ten years, if he was like Jiang Dongye and Shangguan Xing, and directly surrendered, it would take less than ten years to be sentenced to death. Yun Xiangrong said.

"What does the princess mean? But as far as I know, there have been similar cases in the capital before, where Brother Gongzi embezzled a shop and was sentenced to 20 years in exile. Liu Shengyi said.

"I haven't seen the case you said, so I don't know the specific situation, but according to the 20 years of exile you said, I think there are two possibilities, one is that he directly embezzled and never gave money at all, which is very different from the nature of this case. The second possibility is that the case should not be a dead person, and the family should not accept the compensation adjustment, so the sentence will be 20 years in exile. Yun Xiangrong said rationally.

Liu Sheng was a little stunned for a moment, he originally thought that the princess only understood some of the provisions of the "Xiliang Statutes" related to these accusations, but obviously not, the princess couldn't understand all the "Xiliang Statutes", so his next preparations were in vain, and it was impossible to frame Princess Rong at all.

Liu Sheng didn't know what to say for a while.

Yun Xiangrong continued: "I thought Lord Liu would ask me, why did I say that if this case is retried, the sentence will be light? I was surprised that you didn't ask. ”

"Why?" Liu Shengyi was actually very curious.

"I really don't want to get an axe at the door of the court and look very self-righteous, but I don't say that you may not understand, then I can only make you adults laugh. In fact, the whole thing, General Chen is the most angry, a few years ago, the general soldier of the Auxiliary State Mansion, because of the matter of his brother-in-law's money and grain officer, the general soldier Ding lost the position of the prince. General Chen also couldn't hold his head up in front of his father. Although I don't recognize that the adult here is General Chen, I think General Chen must have thought so. Yun Xiangrong said.

I saw an old minister walk out of the crowd and said, "What Princess Rong said is exactly what the old minister felt. ”

"General Chen, please understand, this was Jiang Qingchen's lawsuit, but I had no choice but to involve you." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Princess, but it doesn't hurt to say it." General Chen said.

He didn't care what the princess said about it, it was already a well-known secret anyway. The princess said that she could win some sympathy points from the saints.

"This year, General Chen's concubine Chen spontaneously caused another incident, General Chen in order to show his innocence, has not participated in this matter, to tell the truth, who has few staff in the house, if General Chen is involved, it will definitely not be the current result, I can detain the suspect for a month, and the evidence can be collected for up to three months, and the case can be judged repeatedly, and the case can be closed after pressure, inside and out, it is easy to delay the trial result for half a year, but General Chen did not do it at all, The case took two months from filing to sentencing, most of which was spent discussing with the victim's family a settlement plan. Yun Xiangrong said.

"Why delay for half a year?" Liu Shengyi asked suspiciously.

"Because half a year later, this month, is the birthday of my father's fifty years old, the birthday of the Son of Heaven, the opening of Enke, and the amnesty of the world, which is the rule of all dynasties." Yun Xiangrong said.

Liu Sheng suddenly realized, and I have to say that he is still much worse than the princess in terms of the overall situation. Today's defeat is convinced.
