The soldier ignored the crying catcher, forcibly pulled him up and tied him up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The villain is wronged, the villain is just acting on orders, just acting on orders." The head catcher was still yelling.
Shen Tieniu was upset when he heard this, and said, "Shut his mouth." ”
"Yes." When a soldier received the order, he brought in a white cloth and very rudely gagged the head catcher's mouth.
Shen Tieniu looked at Wei Renjie and said, "Let's go." ”
Wei Renjie didn't say a word, and walked out of the lobby.
The rest of the headcatchers were unknown, so an older catcher said, "My lord, what are you looking for us?" ”
"What's the matter, let's talk about it when we get to Chang'an City." After Shen Tieniu spoke, he ignored them and turned to leave.
The group rushed to Chang'an City for about an hour, and it took three hours to get to the governor's yamen.
Cao Dezhang was very active, saying that he would take all the people involved in the case into prison, correct the national law, establish military discipline, and collect the hearts of the people, and also put forward many opinions, his words made Li Shuoyou look at Cao Dezhang, and the people who could climb to this position were all decisive and decisive, not more than ordinary people, and Kong Shengyi didn't say a word in the middle, and he didn't taste a mouthful of rice when they ate together, and Li Shuo was paying attention to Kong Shengyi all the time.
Just as a few people were talking, a guard came to report that the county magistrate and the head catcher of Hu County had come.
Li Shuo waved his hand and said softly: "Let them all come in, and the official will also see if there is the head catcher I saw today." ”
Kong Shengyi felt that his body was trembling, he knew in his heart that the county magistrate of Huxian County was not from his side, if it happened, he would definitely have to watch his own good show, even if he put himself in, it would be impossible to help him.
Kong Shengyi's actions Li Shuo saw everything in his eyes, and he was silent.
After a while, Shen Tieniu entered the lobby with all the headhunters of the county Cheng Wei Renjie and Hu County.
In the crowd, Li Shuo saw the tied head catcher for the first time.
When the head catcher saw Li Shuo in an official uniform, he immediately knelt on the ground, and wanted to speak, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't say anything.
Li Shuo chuckled and said, "Let him speak." ”
After Shen Tieniu said yes, he took out the white cloth.
"My lord, the little dog's eyes don't know Mount Tai, and I offended the adult, and I hope that the prime minister of the adult can support the boat in his stomach and let the villain die as a dog." After the white cloth was removed, the headcatcher said.
"Who is it that commands you to coerce the people? Who is the rich man of Chang'an City? Li Shuo asked two questions in succession.
"Lord Futai, what instructed me was, yes, yes......" The head catcher didn't dare to finish his words, hesitated, and finally glanced at Kong Shengyi.
"I see, don't talk anymore, I'll ask Lord Kong, the prefect of Kong."
Kong Shengyi hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "What do you have to ask Lord Futai?" The voice was a little shaky, and everyone in the lobby could hear it.
"Is that your order?"
"I don't know, what does Lord Futai mean by this?" At this moment, there is no turning point if he admits it, Kong Shengyi knows this truth very well and wants to quibble to the end.
"Hmph, the prefect is really not surprised, at this time the evidence is conclusive, is there still the possibility of quibbling? You say, who is the rich man of Chang'an City? Li Shuo's voice suddenly increased.
Kong Shengyi was frightened in his heart, but he didn't fall behind in his mouth: "Lord Futai, Xia Guan really doesn't know what you mean?" If Lord Futai feels that the lower official is incompetent, he can go to the court and remove the lower official, but he must not detain the lower official on trumped-up charges. ”
When the head catcher saw that the prefect didn't care about himself, he just wanted to excuse himself, and he was angry in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Lord Futai, it is the prefect who instructs the villain, if you don't believe it, you can ask Lord Wei, the letter he wrote to the villain, I let Lord Wei read it." ”
"Bold, you are just a small catcher, how can you have correspondence with the prefect of Chang'an City, do you know that slandering the imperial court officials is a big crime." Cao Dezhang saw the opportunity to act, and reprimanded loudly, looking at Kong Shengyi's performance, he knew that this matter was inseparable from Kong Shengyi, this Kong Shengyi was Song Mingyi's right-hand man, if he could bring him down, it would be of great benefit to himself.
In fact, Cao Dezhang understood that if he wanted to get out of the liquidation of the imperial court, the only way to make the relationship between Li Shuo and Song Mingyi deteriorate extremely much, and at that time, Li Shuo alone would never be able to fight Song Mingyi who had been in Shaanxi for decades, and at that time, Li Shuo would need himself very much to achieve the goal of containing Song Mingyi, and at that time, even if the imperial court wanted to take him, Li Shuo would try his best to protect it.
As for Cao Dezhang's careful thinking, of course Li Shuo understands, but he has no way, all political struggles are joint containment, it seems that Cao Dezhang is using Li Shuo, but Li Shuo is not using Cao Dezhang.
After hearing Cao Dezhang's words, the head catcher cried: "My lord doesn't know, I do have correspondence with this prefect, not only that, but I often report to the prefect what the county lord has done, and these can be small proofs for the county lord." ”
Cao Dezhang looked at Li Shuo, Li Shuo nodded to him, and was recognized by Li Shuo, which made Cao Dezhang's interrogation even more energetic.
"You said that you had a personal connection with Kong Shengyi, and you also reported Wei Renjie's movements to Kong Shengyi."
"Yes, the little one has heard the prefect say more than once, the county lord is disobedient, and he is thinking about finding an opportunity to replace the county lord." The headhunter told it all.
Cao Dezhang glanced at Wei Renjie, and then noticed that the left side of Wei Renjie's face was red and swollen, and said in shock: "Lord Wei, what's going on with your face?" ”
"He was beaten by evil slaves."
Cao Dezhang didn't know why, and he never thought that the person who beat him was Shen Tieniu, on the contrary, he thought that it was Kong Shengyi's person, and said angrily: "You are an official of the imperial court, who dares to beat you, who is the evil slave." And who is the master? ”
Wei Renjie glanced at Shen Tieniu, who was standing next to him, and said softly: "The evil slave is this Lord of the Hundred Households, and the master is Lord Futai." ”
These words shocked the whole house, and even Kong Shengyi was a little strange, this Wei Renjie was obedient on weekdays, and he never knew that he was still bloody, and now how he dared to speak wildly, people like him would never understand the grief and death of those loyal ministers.
After hearing this, Cao Dezhang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "What did you say?" ”
"Political envoy Cao Bu heard it right, this is the favorite minister of His Majesty the Emperor, the new governor of Shaanxi, and the evil slave raised by Li Shuo." Wei Renjie said slowly.
Li Shuo's face was also a little unsightly, not because Wei Renjie mocked him, but because of Shen Tieniu's boldness and unreasonableness, he snorted coldly: "Shen Tieniu, how dare you beat the imperial court officials." ”
Shen Tieniu hurriedly explained: "Lord Futai, you don't know what this dog official said? ”
"Even if he says something unreasonable, you can't beat him, you know that this is a big crime, and it will ruin the reputation of the court." Li Shuo said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel.
"Lord Futai, he said that you are a scholar who has not dried up, and said that the emperor only uses favored ministers, anyway, there are some more ugly things that I can't say."
Li Shuo sighed and said, "That's it, did you beat Lord Wei?" ”
Shen Tieniu nodded.
"Get on your knees." Li Shuo scolded loudly.
After listening to Li Shuo's words, Shen Tieniu knelt down, but his eyes were still full of unconvinced.
"Kowtow to Lord Wei and admit your mistakes."
"I'm not wrong, I won't admit it."
"Do you dare to disobey my officer's orders?" Li Shuo was really a little angry.
