(Xie: Book friend 18558958 commuter pass)

In the small courtyard in the east of Beihai City, six people who were tied with their hands and feet tied and their mouths gagged were lying crookedly at Liu Ji's feet. These people Liu Ji knew all of them, and all of them were from Beihai City. Although he hasn't been here for a long time, Liu Jiai's friendship personality has made him quickly have a group of friends in Beihai City, and these people are all a group of people who have been fighting recently.

"Don't drive Liu, you should know all these people. Shen Qing, the owner of Wanchun Garden, Lu Pingzhang, the owner of Donghu Grange, and Qian Santong of Beihai Restaurant...... I don't need to introduce them to you one by one. Gwen spoke coldly.

Liu Ji felt the fear in his bones, in a short period of time, he was able to bring all the best relationships he had in Beihai City to himself, obviously Ji Wen had already investigated it clearly, and he seemed to be under his nose all the time under close surveillance.

In addition to being shocked, Liu Ji still decided to pretend to be confused: "Ji Shicao, I do know these people, but what do you mean by taking them here?" Did they commit a crime? ”

Jiwen laughed and said, "I just said that Liu Beijia is a person who does not shed tears when he sees a coffin, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. Since you are pretending to be confused, then I will speak for you. Shen Qing of Wanchun Garden sent two concubines to you, and the two women are in your mansion in the south of the city, one is called Xiaocui and the other is called Xiaohong, yes or no? If you deny it, I will send for these two women at once. ”

Liu Ji swallowed and foamed at the mouth and remained silent.

"Lu Pingzhang of Donghu Grange gave you a hundred acres of fertile land, which is in the east of the city. And your house in the south of the city was also given to you by this Lu Pingzhang Lu Dong's family, yes or no? ”

"This money three money boss, he didn't give you anything, but the largest restaurant in Beihai County, the most profitable restaurant is this Beihai restaurant, and you Liu Beijia has a thirty percent of the shares, and since then he has made money, this ability is not small."

Ji Wen talked eloquently, and explained the collusion between the six people in front of him and Liu Ji clearly, Liu Ji's hands and feet were weak, and the cold sweat that had just dried on his body began to come out again, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Originally, my Datang officials don't have to be poor jingles, nor do they have to be forbidden to do business and make money. But Liu Bei's method of making money is too explicit. How is it any different from robbing a robbery that you use the asylum of power as bait to befriend these merchants? You may say that these are voluntary acts, but if you are not the driver of Beihai County, if you don't give these people some promises, how can they give you so many benefits? This is called power and money trading, in the first year of Tianbao, His Majesty had a special edict to condemn this crime of power and money trading, do you really not know or are you simply bold and disregarding the holy will? Givin said coldly.

Liu Ji didn't know how to justify, today is like a deep quagmire, there is no focus under his feet at all, just sinking hard. His chest, mouth and nose were about to be submerged, and he was about to be destroyed, Liu Ji didn't know what he could do, and there was no life-saving straw for him to grasp.

"This ...... This ......, I ...... I ......" Liu Ji could only speak in a cohesive manner, and even he didn't know what he was talking about.

Lu Pingzhang, the owner of Donghu Manor, who was kneeling on the ground, sighed: "Don't drive Liu, let's all admit it, I regret that I shouldn't have known you, if you hadn't promised to sell me the official land on the shore of Dongcheng Lake at a low price after this autumn, I wouldn't have done such a thing." Fortunately, now I am a sinner who bribed officials. I wanted my Lu family to do business, but I didn't expect that after getting to know you, it turned out to be my Lu family's nemesis. I regret not being at the beginning. ”

Liu Ji wanted to be angry, but found that this was not the place where he was angry, the fact was that Lu Pingzhang was pestering the official land in Dongcheng, and he also wanted to make some benefits, so he promised to find a way to transfer the 500 acres of official land to Lu Pingzhang's private ownership at a low price in the autumn. Now that the matter is revealed, even this businessman has fallen into the well and bites back.

Ji Wen stepped forward and kicked Lu Pingzhang in the face, and Lu Pingzhang fell to the ground on his back with a sigh, his fat face covered with blood.

"A person who hates you the most, as soon as you are unlucky, you will fall into the well, and I am afraid that you are a sycophant and full profiteer on weekdays. If it weren't for people like you who revolve around my Datang officials like flies every day, how could my Datang officials have these bribery and corruption happening? Most people are ruined at the hands of people like you, and you still say that you regret not being at the beginning. Come, hang up, and beat twenty lashes. Gynwin scolded angrily.

Lu Pingzhang hurriedly begged for mercy, several subordinates stepped forward to block his mouth, dragged him directly to the door and hung on the door frame, the whip snapped, and Lu Pingzhang was fat and flesh and blood.

Liu Ji felt a little relieved in his heart, Ji Wen's behavior made Liu Ji feel a little good, and it seemed that he had no way to save himself, and sighed: "That's it, Ji Shicao, the matter has come to this, I don't want to say anything, just take me back to Beijing to ask for the guilt." I will admit what Liu Ji has done, except for the murder and robbery in the capital that Zhou Meng framed me, I can't admit it, and I will admit everything here. ”

Ji Wen smiled and said: "If you don't admit the case in the capital, it won't be successful, the testimony of Zhou Meng and those people is there, this is ironclad evidence." ”

Liu Ji sighed: "They framed me, I can't refute it, I knew why bother today, my father-in-law's teachings are right, I shouldn't be profligate, I like to be arrogant, and make friends with these people of three religions and nine ranks." Today's fate is also my own fault. ”

Ji Wen smiled and looked at Liu Ji's regretful appearance, and suddenly said softly for a while: "Why should Liu don't drive like this, the mountains and rivers may not be without a road, and the dangerous situation may not be lifeless, it just depends on your choice." ”

Liu Ji's body trembled, and he looked at Ji Wen in a daze and said, "What did Ji Shicao say?" ”

Ji Wen smiled silently, and slowly waved his hand and said: "You all go down, take all the prisoners to the custody of good life, make a pot of tea and put it in the courtyard, I have something to say with Liu Beijia." ”

The tea was placed on the stone mill in the yard, Ji Wen stood in the courtyard and beckoned to Liu Ji, who was stunned, Liu Ji dragged his steps out of the house, the light of the rising morning sun was quite dazzling in Liu Ji's eyes, and his eyes were a little black after a night of sleeplessness, and he closed his eyes and stabilized for a while, before he walked to the side of the stone mill.

"Sit." Ji Wen greeted him like an old friend, but in fact, whether in the capital or here, Liu Ji and Ji Wen have never been friends, and they have no intersection with each other.

Liu Ji sat down mechanically and looked at Ji Wen in a daze. Ji Wen said again: "Drink tea, I know that Liu Beijia has the habit of drinking tea in the morning, drink it." ”

Liu Ji silently picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, he did have a dry mouth, he sweated too much just now, his body was not only thirsty but also a little prostration, the tea was in his stomach, and his heart felt a lot better.

"Liu Beijia, I heard your name when I was in the capital, but I didn't expect that we could sit together and drink tea in Beihai, which is thousands of miles away from the capital, and in such a situation, it is really unpredictable."

Liu Ji couldn't drink the tea, so he put down the tea cup dejectedly.

Giwin smiled and continued: "A friend told me a long time ago that life is met at the slightest thought, sometimes it seems that life is hopeless, but in fact, it only takes a small opportunity to come to Jitai. When I heard this friend say this, I used to scoff at it. At that time, it was the time when I was the most decadent and helpless, and you also know what His Majesty said to me today, that is, when I was a county official, I didn't believe anything at all. ”

Liu Ji was silent, he was not interested in listening to Ji Wen talk about his overreach, if it was usual, he would have left without giving Ji Wen face, but now he had to listen patiently.

"Then, a small incident happened that I didn't even expect to change my situation, but even when I was at the bottom and felt hopeless, it still put me in where I am today. Maybe you Liu Beijia will laugh at me, the position of Jingzhao Mansion Shicao is not attractive, but for a person who has been sealed by His Majesty's coffin, can he have today's position, is it an outlier? ”

Even Liu Ji had to admit that Ji Wen was not boasting, although everyone knew that Ji Wen was promoted by relying on Li Linfu's strength, but it was not an outlier to let Li Linfu reuse Ji Wen regardless of His Majesty's words?

So, it's not necessarily impossible to survive, and since then, I've always believed in this saying, and the key is whether you make the right choice. Making the right choice, doing the right thing, will change the situation in no time. That's what it means to say things are man-made. ”

Liu Ji was stunned and said, "Ji Shicao, what do you want to tell me?" ”

"It's very simple, Liu Beijia is in a desperate situation now, after I take you into Beijing, I'm afraid you will soon have your head on the ground. However, if there is an option for you to get rid of all the charges and clear your name, that's what I'm talking about. The key question is whether you will seize the opportunity rather than watch it slip away in vain. ”

Ji Wen said quietly and indifferently.
