Chapter 198: Dig a big hole
Beizhen Fusi, Imperial Prison.
Li Xiuwen came here for the first time, saw many empty cells, and felt that this edict was not as infiltrating as the legend.
The torture tools here are not much different from those used in Nanzhen.
Fang Ning led the way in front, and soon led him to the cell where Qian Qianyi was being held.
This old man looks like he is fifty years old, but his spirit is good, and his rich figure is like a landlord's old wealth.
If he wasn't wearing a white prison uniform at this time, but a long shirt outside the staff, he would really look like a rich man.
Qian Qianyi's body can't see a trace of scars at all, and there are few who can still get such preferential treatment when he enters the edict prison, right?
Who made the person who made him a gentle man?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
"Qian Qianyi, I invited Master Li for you."
Fang Ning took out the key from his waist, opened the iron lock on the cell door, and respectfully made an inviting gesture to Li Xiuwen, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Lord Li, please come in." ”
Seeing that the other party acted similarly, Li Xiuwen smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was expressionless. Nodding faintly, he stepped inside.
Behind him, Fang Ning locked the cell door again and went out.
"Plop—"
As soon as Fang Ning left, Qian Qianyi knelt down directly in front of Li Xiuwen, and said in a sincere tone: "Ask Lord Li to save the old decay!" ”
"Elder Qian, please get up, I've heard of your name, how can I accept your bow?"
Li Xiuwen stretched out his hands and made a gesture in the air, and Qian Qianyi got up.
This scene is as if you can help people up in the air.
Since the people who are often imprisoned are members of the imperial court, this kind of prison is relatively special, and it is equipped with tables and chairs, which is regarded as special treatment.
Of course, the person who angered the emperor and Jinyiwei who wanted to die had no chance to get out. It's more benevolent to have two chairs or something.
Li Xiuwen walked to the side of the chair and sat down, and said, "Qian Lao, come and sit down and talk slowly, what the hell is going on, how do you want this official to save you?" ”
Qian Qianyi came over and sat down and slowly explained the matter.
Things are similar to what Li Xiuwen knew before, the leader of the Donglin Party, and Wen Tiren are political enemies.
Eight years ago, he asked Wen Tiren to straighten out and go back to his hometown in Suzhou to retire. To say that his family is also a landlord, and he is doing well in Changshu, but Wen Tiren refuses to let him go, and now that he is free, he asked a teacher in Changshu County, Zhang Hanru, to sue him for the royal complaint.
On this paper, Qian Qianyi's total of 58 major sins are listed. Of course, many of the charges are pure nonsense, he is all retired at home, how many big crimes can he commit without an official body?
But the facts are not important, the important thing is that the emperor believes it, and that's it.
Wen Tiren has one meaning - to rectify you.
Although Qian Qianyi has been away from Beijing for many years, he still has some personal relations in the DPRK and China. When he was caught back by Fang Ning, he didn't panic at all. Because he knows that someone will intercede for him.
Fang Ning told him that these were useless, the more people who pleaded, the faster you would die!
These words were naturally said by Li Xiuwen and Fang Ning, and this is indeed the case.
Zhu Youzhen hates the people who form a party the most, and the more those people plead, the more he feels that Qian Qianyi has too many henchmen and too much power, and he is innocent of death.
Fang Ning told him that it was useless to have too many people, and only by finding someone with weight to help him talk could he avoid disaster.
Qian Qianyi was frightened, and along the way, he listened to Fang Ning boast about how powerful Li Xiuwen was, and then he thought of asking Li Xiuwen for help.
Unexpectedly, after Li Xiuwen heard this, he just let out a long sigh and said, "If it had been a few months earlier, maybe I would have been able to save you, but now that I have lost my holy family, I can't speak." ”
Qian Qianyi was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "My lord has also fallen out of favor now?" ”
Li Xiuwen nodded, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Yes, it's all to blame Wen Tiren, that old fox!" ”
As he spoke, his fists clenched tightly together on the table.
Qian Qianyi understood, he couldn't save himself if he dared to love him, and secretly scolded Fang Ning in his heart for not being kind, fooling himself with so much money, but he invited a person who had lost his power.
Seeing the other party's slightly disappointed expression, Li Xiuwen continued quietly: "I have a common enemy with Qian Lao, although I can't save you, I can invite someone to speak for you." In this person's capacity, if he is willing to help you, he should be able to exonerate you. ”
Qian Qianyi was like a drowning man, grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked, "Who is this person?" ”
"Cao Huachun."
When he came out of the edict prison, Li Xiuwen's cuffs had a stack of thick silver tickets, all of which were Qian Qianyi's expenses for him to find someone. Of course, he could take a part of it.
He got the money and rushed home.
Today is the day when Cao Huachun came to collect the bills.
At this time, Zhang Hanru, the master of Changshu County, also followed to the capital.
After listening to Wen Tiren's instructions and suing Qian Qianyi's royal warrant, he knew very well in his heart that after the matter was completed, he would definitely be able to reap a lot of benefits from it.
I followed into Beijing so that the case could be more securely decided. Suzhou is far away, and if things change by then, the plaintiff can make up for it, and it will save the news from being spread and delayed for too long.
"Hehe, this time you should be able to get an official, right?"
Thinking so, Zhang Hanru looked at the city gate not far in front of him, and felt very kind.
He had just entered the city gate and was on his way to Wenfu, when he passed a corner, he saw two men with ordinary faces and short clothes standing in front of him. Behind the two of them, there was also a car parked, blocking the view ahead.
Knock on the stuffy stick?
Seeing such a scene, Zhang Hanru was stunned, his eyes rolled slightly, and he came back to his senses.
He was just about to turn around and run, when suddenly there was a sharp pain in his head, and then his eyes rolled and he collapsed.
Behind him, a man reached out and caught his body, and a sack was put over his head, and as soon as the rope was tied to the mouth of the sack, he dragged the sack forward and threw it on the car parked in front of him. The three of them got into the car and drove away.
The whole process is very skillful, and it is obvious that they can do this kind of thing as if it is commonplace. The people were taken away, and there was not even a single witness.
Not long after Li Xiuwen returned home, Cao Huachun arrived.
After finishing the account, Li Xiuwen told him about it, and the other party really agreed to help.
It's no wonder that Cao Huachun is not bad-hearted, and he used to know Qian Qianyi. When the other party asked someone to come to him, he naturally wanted to do a favor and intercede in front of the emperor.
After sending Cao Huachun away, Li Xiuwen summoned Li Dong and asked him to go to Fusi in Beizhen to report and tell Qian Qianyi
