Chapter Seventy-Six: Plans for Each Other
On the Yangzhou side, because of Jia Daocun's arrest and imprisonment, Qian Du is in trouble with Li Guangtai.
In the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect, Qian Du sat on the seat opposite Li Guangtai, looked at Li Guangtai with cold eyes and said, "Li Yushi, it's a bit too much for you to do!" ”
"At the beginning, the lower official personally promised Jia Daocun, saying that as long as he could explain the person behind it, he would be acquitted."
"It's good that you didn't even inform the lower officials, and you sent Jia Daocun to prison!"
"Li Yushi, if you do this, how will I Jinyiwei do things for the Holy Lord in the future?"
"I'm afraid that this matter will spread, and no one will dare to take the initiative to surrender in the future!"
Li Guangtai picked up the teacup on the coffee table gracefully, took a sip, and put it down again, before he said coldly: "What does Commander Qian mean by this?" ”
"This official is the minister of the Holy Emperor's order, what can you do, can you still get the consent of your Jinyi Guard?"
"Commander Qian asked this official, have you ever put the imperial court system and the current saint in your eyes?"
"Li Yushi's words are a bit heart-wrenching, and the officials can't afford it!" Qian Du smiled coldly, with indescribable contempt in his eyes......
Just as the two were arguing fiercely, a figure hurriedly broke in, "The holy decree has arrived, Li Guangtai, the imperial history of the left capital, and the commander of Jinyiwei will make Qian Du receive the decree!" ”
"Li Guangtai, the imperial history of the minister's left capital/Jinyi Guard, the commander of the envoy Qian Du knocked to see the emperor!"
Seeing that a holy decree was coming, Li Guangtai and Qian Du immediately stopped arguing, hurriedly got up from their seats, and then knelt down in the center of the hall.
"Fengtian, carrying the emperor, the edict said: Command Li Guangtai, the imperial history of the left capital, and Jinyiwei to command Qian Du to immediately escort all the prisoners in Yangzhou into Beijing, there must be no mistake, Qin this!"
"Minister Li Guangtai / Qian Du takes the order!"
After Li Guangtai and the others received the holy decree, Qian Du hurriedly got up and asked the little eunuch who passed the decree: "This father-in-law, I don't know who the prisoners mentioned by His Majesty are?" ”
The little eunuch said: "I don't dare to be the commander of the money, and I am called the 'father-in-law'." Long live the meaning of the lord, and the personnel involved in the Yangzhou salt affairs will be escorted to Beijing. ”
"But Jia Daocun and Liu Wenxuan are also going to be escorted to Beijing?" Qian Du asked again.
"It's nature!" The little eunuch nodded and said, "Not only them, but also Qin Sijie entered Beijing together!" ”
Hearing this, Qian Du couldn't see joy or anger on his face, while Li Guangtai showed a hint of joy on his face, "Your Majesty is still wise!" ”
Although Liu Wenxuan was escorted to Beijing, it was somewhat undesirable for Li Guangtai.
Compared with Li Guangtai, Jia Daocun and Qin Sijie are obviously more important.
Especially Qin Sijie, whether Li Guangtai gave orders to Jinyiwei or Dongchang in the past, both parties were unwilling to take this hot potato, so that now Qin Sijie is still at large.
Now, having received the clear will of the Holy Lord, Li Guangtai smiled and said, "Commander Qian, did you hear that?" Qin Sijie is also among them, why don't you bring someone to arrest him? ”
"Xiaguan will do it!" Although Qian Du was very unwilling, since the emperor already had a clear will, he had no choice but not to do it.
After Qian Du left, the little eunuch who passed the decree exchanged a few words with Li Guangtai, then said goodbye to Li Guangtai and went to meet the two stall leaders who followed Li Guangtai to Yangzhou.
Seeing the two stalls, the little eunuch said directly: "In order to prevent Qian Du from killing people and destroying his mouth, the factory official ordered the two of you to strictly take care of Jia Daocun and Liu Wenxuan on the way back to Beijing, and make sure that these two people enter Beijing safely." ”
It turned out that Feng Xi was worried that Qian Du would kill people on the way, so he ordered the little eunuch who passed the decree to give a message to the two stall heads.
In the Yangzhou prison, Qian Du came to the cell where Jia Daocun was held expressionlessly.
At this time, Jia Daocun was in rags, with a withered face and empty eyes.
At this time, Jia Daocun heard a sound of footsteps from far and near, and couldn't help but look up, but saw that it was Qian Du coming.
Jia Daocun hurriedly got up and knelt at the door of the prison, "Lord Qian, the villain is willing to give all his family wealth, please save the villain!" ”
Qian Du didn't rush to answer, but glanced at the jailer who came with him, and the jailer left here with interest.
When the jailer walked away, Qian Du spoke: "Mr. Jia, don't worry, this official will definitely save you." ”
"But there is one thing that Mr. Jia must remember, that is, even if he is killed, he can't say anything that shouldn't be said."
"Otherwise, don't say that the official can't protect you, even if your family's wives and children are young, no one will survive!"
As he spoke, Qian Du's eyes were sharp and his tone was cold. It seems that as long as Jia Daocun dares to say a "no" word in his mouth, his head will fall to the ground.
"Don't worry, don't worry, the villain can save it! Even if you kill the villain, the villain will not dare to sell the money adult! "Seeing that Qian Du seems to have murderous intent towards himself, how dare Jia Daocun say anything else? Hurriedly nodded in assurance.
Qian Du nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "The Holy Lord has issued an order, ordering the official and Li Guangtai to escort you into Beijing, and after you arrive in the capital, the official will send someone to contact you." ”
After speaking, Qian Du turned around and left the prison without looking back.
Soon after Qian Du left the prison, a figure appeared in front of Jia Daocun and said with a smile: "Jia Daocun, how are you thinking about it?" ”
As if grasping the last straw, Jia Daocun knelt down in front of the man and said, "As long as you can save the villain's life, the villain is willing to confess that there is someone." ”
The man nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Whether you confess to others or not, our family doesn't care, our family only cares about what Qian Dudu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, said to you, and what did he order you to do?" Also, how much bribe did Qian Du accept in Yangzhou this time? ”
Seeing that Jia Daocun seemed to have a look of hesitation on his face, the man continued: "Jia Daocun, don't say that our family didn't remind you, Qian Du has already killed you, if you don't have our Dongchang to help you, you will definitely die." ”
Jia Daocun remembered the terrifying eyes of Fang Cai Qian Du, who seemed to be looking at himself like a dead man, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, the villain will explain everything, everything." ”
"Then tell us about it first!" The man nodded in satisfaction and said.
As soon as Qian Du came to Yangzhou, he extorted the villain for one million taels of silver, and the villain also gave him ten Yangzhou thin horses.
Also, Qian Du once ordered the villain to pour dirty water on Liu Wenxuan, the former head of the household department, and deliberately pulled him into this case......"
"Nothing else?" When the man saw that Jia Daocun finished speaking, he opened his mouth and asked.
"If you go back to your father-in-law, that's all the villain knows, as for whether Qian Du has extorted money from other salt merchants, and whether he has made them do anything, the villain doesn't know." Jia Daocun replied honestly.
"However, if the father-in-law has something to say to the villain, the villain must follow the father-in-law's wishes!"
