Chapter 57: Winter is coming
"When have you been talking about it, are you just worried about saying that you also took advantage of the fact that Dong Li is still disappointed in you? You don't want to think about it, you can't protect yourself now, can you still take care of Dong Li's family? Ma Zhanguo continued to overcome Yan Sun's psychological defense.
Dong Li raised his head suddenly, and looked at Yan Sun with blazing eyes: "Shiro, I also know that you also have the intention of using me, but I don't regret falling in love with you." ”
Yan Sun nodded: "Qiaoqiao, I also have true feelings for you." He turned to Xia Xiang and said, "Xia Xianzun, Fu Ke wants to embezzle Dong Xian's family property, the villain was aware of it from the beginning, the villain originally had the intention of annexing Dong Xian's family property, Fu Ke took the initiative to send it to the door, wouldn't it be good to miss the opportunity if he didn't take advantage of him?" It's just that the villain never expected that behind Fu Ke, there was not only the county Chengtian Qing, but also the commander of the forbidden army of Zhending Mansion, Wu Yidong. By the time the villain knew who drove Fu Ke, it was too late to pull out. ”
"Just because you're an insignificant nobody, and you still want to take advantage of the fire? It's ridiculous. Ding Ke couldn't help but sneer, "It's hard to make a big deal with a little clever calculation after all, in front of power, Yan Sun, you are just a small chess piece at the mercy of others, you can throw it away at any time if you want to." Do you know that in addition to Tian Qing and Wu Yidong, there are Pei Shuozhang and Cui ...... behind Fu Ke Cui Fuzun? ”
After hesitating, Ding Ke still said Cui Xiang.
Xia Xiang pretended not to hear.
"Whether Cui Fuzun was involved in it, the villain doesn't know, but Pei Xianzun should not know about it, or know but didn't participate in it." Yan Sun thought about it seriously, "The only people the villain came into contact with were Tian Qing and Wu Yidong, and the others didn't dare to talk nonsense without contact." Fu Ke should have more contact with big people than the villain, and he should know more inside information. ”
After Yan Sun and Dong Li were placed in custody on the confession, Ding Ke had someone escort them down. Subsequently, Xia Xiang returned to the study and discussed things with Ma Zhanguo and Ding Ke.
"Xia Xianzun, the matter is far more serious than expected, it is nothing to involve Tian Qing, but it is troublesome when it involves the garrison forbidden army." Ma Zhanguo retreated, he was a small county lieutenant, where did he dare to risk being in it, if he was not careful, he would be crushed, "According to the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to put all the things on Fu Ke and Yan Sun and others, Fu Ke will make a decision, Yan Sun will be exiled, so everyone will be happy......"
"The real culprit behind the scenes has not been caught, how can the case be closed so hastily?" Ding Ke disagreed, "Xia Xianzun, his subordinates believe that the facts of the case are clear so far, and it is clear that Wu Yidong wants to pay half of the 100,000 quintals of grain, and Tian Qingtian County Cheng wants to embezzle Dong Xian's family property. ”
"Ding catches the head, don't be rash." Ma Zhanguo quietly glanced at Ding Ke, signaling Ding Ke not to act with just anger, "Xia Xianzun has just entered the officialdom, his foothold is not stable, and this case involves local officials and forbidden troops, if it is really investigated, I am afraid that even Cui Fuzun and Pei Xianzun will be to blame." Xia County was not guilty of a small lawsuit for his life, which caused an officialdom earthquake that implicated many civil and military officials. If you are not careful, Xia Xianzun will be taken down by the other party, and even put to death by the other party. ”
"Lieutenant Ma, as an official of the imperial court, should be loyal to the monarch and the people, how can he cower because it concerns the powerful?" Ding Ke was indignant, "Although the subordinates are humble and light-hearted, even if they fight to pieces, they must all be arrested." The so-called law is not expensive, and the rope is not bent. With the addition of the law, the wise can resign, and the brave dare to fight. The punishment does not avoid the minister, and the reward is not spared. ”
Ma Zhanguo smiled: "Although there is a law that does not bend the rope, there are also 'courtesy and courtesy, and punishment cannot be a doctor.'" The prisoner is not on the king's side'. ”
Xia Xiang pondered for a moment, noncommittal to the dispute between Martin and the two, and asked, "Have you ever thought about why Wu Yidong wanted to buy 100,000 quintals of grain?" If it is only for the purpose of annexing Dong Xian's property, there are many ways, and there is no need to buy grain as a reason. ”
"Maybe it's because Dong is now running a grain planting and granary business for the city of Lexian County, and he has experience in transferring grain and transporting grain." Ma Zhanguo thought about it carefully, and felt that something was wrong, "It's not all, Wu Yidong wants to embezzle Dong Xian's family property, and there is really no need to do business with Dong Xian on the grounds of purchasing 100,000 quintals of grain with such fanfare, and after Dong Xian jumped into the river, the person who came forward to embezzle Dong's business house was Zhuang Feifei." Could it be that Zhuang Feifei is Wu Yidong's person? ”
Ding Ke stomped his foot: "It's a pity that I couldn't bring Zhuang Feifei back to Zhending for trial." ”
"Isn't there still a Fu Ke?" Ma Zhanguo smiled, "Xia Xianzun, with Tian's dissatisfied confession, coupled with Yan Sun and Dong Li's witnesses, Fu Ke will not open his mouth again, and he will not be able to help him." Xia Guan and Ding Zhutou said that they had to ask Fu Ke to try the methods of the two of us, so that he would not think that the trial of Zhending County was so kind. ”
"Didn't the county lieutenant Ma just say that he would not be tried again?" Ding Ke took Ma Zhanguo's first army in time.
Ma Zhanguo was not annoyed, and laughed: "This official is curious now, and he has to find out why Wu Yidong wants to buy 100,000 quintals of grain." Trying a case and closing a case are two different things, and it does not mean that the confession that comes out of the trial is the confession that is reported. Ding Zhutou, you are also an old man in the officialdom, why don't you even understand the doorway? ”
Ding Ke wanted to say something more, Xia Xiang waved his hand, not letting the two of them fight any more, but said: "100,000 loads of grain, you can raise tens of thousands of more soldiers and horses, in case Wu Yidong has a heart of disobedience, it is really only more than ten days away from the capital......
As soon as these words came out, Ma Zhanguo and Ding Ke both gasped, and the two looked at each other, so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Suddenly, someone came to report that Xu Xiancheng was coming.
Xu Heguang hurriedly returned to the county government and learned that Xia Xianzun had finished trying Yan Sun and Dong Li's family, and he couldn't help but be very annoyed. Cui Xiang had just received a secret report that the Star King's right-hand men Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao had already set off to come to Zhending, and they would arrive soon. The emperor is scheduled to inspect the Zhending Mansion this winter, and he must make arrangements to welcome the holy car in the early stage, and so on, many things follow one after another, making Cui Xiang tired of coping.
Moreover, Cui Xiang also has a general judgment that is not in line with him, Zheng Hao, and feels even more irritable. Even so, he was instructed by the third prince to turn Dong Xian's murder into a small matter, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, and told Xu Heguang to let Xu Heguang first contain Xia Xiang and wait for him.
Although Xu Heguang did not dare to guess why the emperor came to Zhending, he also knew that something big would happen, so he hurriedly returned to the county office, and explained the matter as soon as he saw Xia Xiang.
"The emperor is coming to Zhending?" Xia Xiang looked shocked, and said after a little thought, "This matter will be decided after the official has met Cui Fuzun." ”
"The emperor's holy drive is not trivial, Xia Xianzun, Dong Xian's murder is just a trivial matter, you must not disturb the holy car because of a small loss, it is a big crime." Xu Heguang pushed the boat smoothly, "Besides, Cui Fuzun also means that this case should not be delayed for a long time, and it is better to close the case as soon as possible." ”
"This official has set a seven-day limit with Cui Fuzun, and within seven days, the case will be concluded." Xia Xiang's face sank.
"But Xia Xianzun ......" Xu Heguang knew that Xia Xiang wanted to delay for a few days, and there was a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart. Although he didn't know very well how big a big man would be involved behind the case, Pei Shuozhang of Lezhi County sent County Lieutenant Fan Li to intercept Ma Zhanguo and his party, and it was not enough to take back Zhuang Feifei, and let Wei Chi directly lead the forbidden army to come forward, and he had to take back Yan Sun and Dong Li's family, which shows how serious the situation is.
It's a pity that Wei Chizhi fell short, how good it would be if he directly snatched away Yan Sun and Dong Li's family, Xia Xiang had to stop if he didn't want to stop. Xu Heguang was extremely annoyed in his heart, and secretly scolded Wei Chizhi for being useless.
"There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, the official has already decided." Xia Xiang directly rejected Xu Heguang's words, and said dissatisfiedly, "It is the duty of this official to try the case. There is Cui Fuzun to point out, and there is Xu County Cheng to correct it, how can this official be this county respect, do you still need someone to teach? ”
"Xia Xianzun, the lower officials, the lower officials don't mean this." Xu Heguang was choked and blushed, and said with great embarrassment, "Xia Guan is for the sake of Xia County, there are many things in Zhending County, and it is good to prioritize them." ”
"The official has his own measure." Xia Xiang's face was blank, no longer paying attention to Xu Heguang, Cui Xiang and Xu Heguang joined forces, pressing step by step, if he retreated again, the two of them would definitely have to move forward, it was time for the two to know his determination, even if he offended Cui Xiang, there was no way, judging from the current situation, even if he retreated, the people behind him might not let him go.
Not to mention His Royal Highness the Three Princes.
Xu Heguang hated Xia Xiang for being merciless to him, and thought that when Hao Haiji was the magistrate, he obeyed him, not to mention that he was very loud to him, and he didn't even dare to speak loudly, and he didn't admit that Xia Xiang, a junior junior, dared to put on an official frame and take out official coercion to suppress him. It's just that the official level crushes people to death, no matter how hateful he is, no matter how angry he is, he doesn't dare to show it to his face.
Lu Dongdong came in to report, an official document from the Ministry of Officials was delivered, and Zheng Hao and Lu Zhiyue, who were sentenced by the Zhending Mansion, came to visit.
Zheng Hao came to visit, Xia Xiang didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly came forward to greet him.
Zheng Hao and Lu Zhiyue came to visit together, but it was also a little unexpected for Xia Xiang, and it made Xu Heguang a little more suspicious, could it be that Xia Xiang also had a friendship with the Zheng family and the Lu family? If this is the case, it is even more necessary to beware of Xia Xiang and suppress him everywhere, so as not to make him even more fearless.
However, Xu Heguang thought about it again, compared with the Zheng family, the Lu family and the Cui family, it is still inferior, Cui Fuzun is the Qinghe Cui family, and the Li family and the Cui family are friends, even if Xia Xiang climbs the high branch of the Zheng family and the Lu family, it can't change the fact that Xia Xiang was finally trampled under the feet of Cui Fuzun and him, let alone the fact that Xia Xiang will be defeated by the three princes by all means.
The official document of the Ministry of Officials was delivered through the post guard of the post station, and after Xia Xiang took it, he didn't have time to open it, but he received Zheng Hao and Lu Zhiyue. Lu Zhiyue has been walking around with Xia Xiang a lot recently, and they have become familiar with each other. Zheng Hao has not met him since the last time Cui Mansion said goodbye, see you today, Zheng Hao looks good, and his eyebrows are dancing, as if there is something happy.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw him, Zheng Hao laughed: "Xia Xianzun, congratulations, congratulations." ”
Xia Xiang couldn't help but be stunned: "Why did Zheng Tong say this?" What's the joy? ”
"It's spread all over the capital, you and Lian Ruohan and Lian Ruohan's happy event are approaching, and the official specially came to ask for a cup of happy wine to drink." Zheng Hao stepped forward to hold Xia Xiang's arm, all the unpleasantness he had had with Xia Xiang before was gone, he turned around and greeted Lu Zhiyue, "When Lu Langjun heard about this, he also came to congratulate Xia Xianzun, and also celebrated that he was out of the clutches of Lian Niangzi." ”
Xia Xiang couldn't cry or laugh, okay, Lu Zhiyue dislikes Lian Ruohan so much? Not to mention that even Ruohan is beautiful and dignified, she is also shrewd and capable, she can not only be in charge of the good times outside, but also run the family inside, such a lady who is an expert inside and outside, is more than enough for Lu Zhiyue.
Lu Zhiyue waved her hand again and again: "Zheng Tong's judgment is heavy, his words are serious!" Lu knew that he was not worthy of Lian Niangzi, but he was fortunate to have known Lian Niangzi since he was a child. Lu Mou knows very well that even the lady doesn't look down on me, so it's better to retreat and take the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract, so as to save himself a little thin noodles, haha. ”
Later, Zheng Hao and Lu Zhiyue greeted Xu Heguang, Ma Zhanguo, Ding Ke and others respectively.
A few people entered the room, Xu Heguang and others saw this, got up and were about to leave, Zheng Hao waved his hand and said: "This official is to catch up with Xia County, and he doesn't want to talk about anything important, so it's okay for you to stay." ”
Xu Heguang was intent on staying, so he didn't shirk it immediately, and sat back in his seat.
Xia Xiang only had time to open the official document of the Ministry of Officials at this time, only glanced at it, and smiled: "It's really a coincidence, Lu Langjun, no, now it should be called Master Lu, the Ministry of Officials has appointed his subordinates, from now on, you will be the county lord of Zhending." ”
Xu Heguang almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, and he was slightly shocked in his heart, although the position of the chief secretary of Zhending County was insignificant and had nothing to do with the overall situation, but it was very rare for the officials to approve the document so quickly. The officials have always dragged on in their work, and usually there is not a single official document for a month or two. Then don't think about Lu Zhiyue's appointment as a special case.
Cui Fuzun and he each recommended the candidate for the true master, but the officials still approved Lu Zhiyue's appointment so quickly, the meaning is intriguing, Xu Heguang can't help but think about it, who behind Xia Xiang came forward to protect Lu Zhiyue, or is there any change in the capital? Although it is a trivial matter to really appoint a small master, it can be a glimpse of the leopard in the management and gain insight into the turmoil in the capital and the elimination of various forces.
Lu Zhiyue got up and bowed to Xia Xiang to the end: "Lu Mou thank you for the grace of Xia County." ”
Zheng said with a smile: "It's not right to call yourself Lu again......"
Lu Zhiyue immediately changed her words: "Xiaguan thank you for the grace of Xia County." ”
Xia Xiang handed over the letter of appointment to Lu Zhiyue and smiled indifferently: "Master Lu doesn't have to be polite, from now on, you and I will be colleagues." It just so happens that this official has something to do with you......"
"Xiaguan but according to Xia County's orders!" Lu Zhiyue's face was calm, for him, the position of Zhending County Lord Bo was a family arrangement, not his original intention, as for who was behind the promotion and operation of the ministry, he neither cared nor bothered to ask.
But since he has become the county lord of Zhending, he has to seek his own government in his position.
