Li Shuo's implication is that if you don't ask for mercy, even if you ask for mercy, I won't change my original intention. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, Song Mingyi heard what Li Shuo meant, but he couldn't help but express his attitude with him.

"The lower officials also saw this matter, but the lower officials thought that arresting Kong Shengyi was not in accordance with the laws of the imperial court."

"Kong Shengyi ordered the coercion of the people, did he comply with the laws of the imperial court?" Li Shuo asked rhetorically with a chuckle.

"Xia Guan learned yesterday that it was a small catcher in Huxian County who pointed out Kong Shengyi, could it be that Lord Futai would listen to the words of such a despicable person?" Song Mingyi's face changed, and he said with some emotion.

"Lord Song, you have to know that you are a local important minister appointed by the imperial court, is it a bit out of character to say such things this time?" Seeing Kong Shengyi's face change, Li Shuo didn't want to spit out.

"Lord Futai, the lower officials came here this time to find out what your decision is?"

"Act according to the law, punish according to the law."

"Kong Shengyi is the prefect, and I am afraid that Lord Futai does not have this right to be sentenced to his crime."

Li Shuo smiled and said: "Of course the official knows that today's official recital has gone to the Beijing Division, and within five days, the emperor will send the Imperial History Dao to assist in the investigation, of course, the person in charge is still the official, and the official's decision is the decision of the imperial court." ”

"Lord Futai dares to speak wildly, believe it or not, the next official will play a copy of you." Song Mingyi listened to Li Shuo's words, he was very unhappy in his heart, and he didn't care about anything else, so he flopped directly.

"Of course, this official believes that Lord Song dares to impeach me, but I am not afraid at all, because I am thinking about the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor will definitely understand the intention of this official." Li Shuo retorted that as for Song Mingyi wanting to impeach himself, this was also within Li Shuo's expectations.

"This official will not agree with your punishment of Kong Shengyi. This official is a political envoy and has the right to intervene in the trial of this case. Song Mingyi said fiercely.

"What is a governor? Don't Lord Song know that the governor is Dai Tianzi's inspection, if the official wants to convict Kong Shengyi, what can you do with me? ”

Song Mingyi brushed his sleeves and left.

Li Shuo shouted: "Lord Song will not send it if you go slowly." ”

After sending Song Mingyi away, Li Shuo returned to the inner hall and saw his wife.

Mrs. Li also heard the conversation between the two, was worried, and asked with concern: "Master, you just came to Shaanxi, you must not make enemies with your colleagues." ”

Li Shuo chuckled, sat down, and said softly: "If I came to Shaanxi to be kind to others, then what is the use of this governor?" ”

"But you can make bad colleagues, isn't the lord afraid that they will be impeached together? At that time, can the emperor still protect you, have you ever thought that you are not single, I don't matter, I will advance and retreat with you, what should the two of them do in the Beijing Division, don't you think about them? You have read history books, don't you know the nature of the emperor, Zhang Juzheng's matter is still in front of you, don't you have a trace of fear? Seeing that Li Shuo had just come to Shaanxi, it was convenient for the high-level in Shaanxi to have a dispute, which made Mrs. Li even more uneasy and said what was in her heart.

Li Shuo lowered his head and sighed: "You know the ambition of being a husband, why can't you support it?" To tell you the truth, the emperor sent me to Shaanxi, it is to offend people, if I can't do my errand well, the end will be even more miserable, but if my errand is done, the emperor is not the kind of person who is not kind, he is different from the Wanli Emperor, you can rest assured. ”

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Li walked to Li Shuo's side, squatted down to hold Li Shuo's hand, and said softly: "Don't be obsessed anymore, the emperor let you offend people, let you kill people, and it is you who carry the infamy, even if the emperor is really as you said, he values love and righteousness, but decades later, the emperor is a hundred years, then who can protect you, who will protect you, at that time, Zhang Juzheng's fate will be your fate in the future." ”

After hearing these words, Li Shuo suddenly pushed Mrs. Li to the ground, stood up and said, "Fool, if all the officials in the world think like you, then can the world of my Ming Dynasty be saved?" I have made up my mind, even if I am late in the future, cut off my head, and behead all over the house, I will not hesitate to do what I do, and future generations will have their own decision. ”

Mrs. Li, who was pushed to the ground, sobbed in a low voice, Li Shuo looked a little unbearable, stepped forward to help Mrs. Li up, and said softly: "It's the husband's fault, the husband knows, you can't change your identity at this time, but the husband really has a heart of loyalty to the country and the country, and the husband knows that you are worried about the future, and the husband promises that he is willing to be a fan Li, and when the situation is ripe, he will never be greedy for power, resign and return to his hometown." ”

Mrs. Li sobbed and nodded, as Li Shuo thought, this Mrs. Li's psychological pressure is too great, her identity changes too quickly, and she has read some history books, and it is normal for her to be afraid and helpless in her heart.

After Li Shuo appeased his wife, he set off for the governor's yamen.

Above the lobby, all the high-ranking officials in the Chang'an Mansion except Song Mingyi were all present, Cao Dezhang sat on Li Shuo's right side, while the position on the left side was vacant, and the rest of the officials stood on both sides.

Li Shuo looked at the crowd: "Let's not wait for Lord Song, bring Kong Shengyi up." ”

Li Shuo's words, the officials in the lobby had no objections.

Kong Shengyi was taken into the lobby, and overnight, Kong Shengyi seemed to be a different person, with messy hair and dull eyes.

Although Kong Shengyi was guilty, he still had a famous official with him, so he did not bow down.

"Kong Shengyi, yesterday there was an incident in Gejiazhuang, Huxian County, where officers and soldiers coerced the people, but you were the master."

"Yes." Kong Shengyi said dumbfoundedly.

"How many taels of silver did Jiang Huan give you, so that you are willing to do this kind of thing for him."

"Xia Guan did not accept Jiang Huan's bribe, but he had a deep personal relationship, so he would do things." Kong Shengyi raised his head and said softly.

Kong Shengyi was so frank that Li Shuo looked down on him, but even so, the guilt on his body could not be reduced by a cent.

"Master Cao, since Kong Shengyi is so frank, I think I will summon Jiang Huan and ask him to tell who is in charge of selling the military land near Gejiazhuang to him."

"The lower officials also have this intention, I think let Lord Xu Mengchao lead the troops."

"To catch a little rich man, why do you need to use troops, just go to one or two officials to summon it." Of course, Li Shuo knew that he would go to one or two servants, but Jiang Huan would not be invited, and he said this at this time just to sing a double reed with Cao Dezhang.

"Lord Futai doesn't know, this Jiang Huan, as the largest landlord in Chang'an Mansion, has four or five hundred evil servants under his command, and he does some things to oppress the people and force them to buy and sell on weekdays, not to mention that he and Lord Song are relatives of his children, and the servants are gone, so he can't be summoned at all."

"Hmph, what a Jiang Huan, Xu Mengchao, you lead two hundred soldiers to bring Jiang Huan to your own official." Li Shuo said angrily.

Xu Mengchao and Jiang Huan have a deep personal relationship, how can they do such a thing, hesitate at the moment, and don't move.

"Lord Xu, have you ever understood what this official said?"

"Listen to the lower officials, it's just that there is no need for the upper and lower officials to summon such a trivial matter." Xu Mengchao excused himself.

Cao Dezhang sat on the side and said in a weird manner: "Lord Xu, is it possible that you, like Lord Song, don't take Lord Futai to heart?" ”

"The lower official doesn't dare, the lower official will go and call Jiang Huan to come." This Song Mingyi was not present, Xu Mengchao didn't want to face Li Shuo and Cao Dezhang alone, if it was a conflict and he would hurt himself, it would be worth the loss.

After Xu Mengchao went down. Li Shuo opened his mouth again: "Bring all the people from Huxian County up, wait for Lord Xu to come back, and confront each other in the hall." ”

After listening to Li Shuo's words, his own guards brought Wei Renjie from Huxian County and a head catcher to the lobby.

Li Shuo was busy trying the case, and Zhu Youzhen, who was far away in Beijing, couldn't be idle.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen summoned Guo Yunhou, the head of the household.

Guo Yunhou was given a seat by Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen said softly: "Guo Yunhou, I admire you very much, do you know why?" ”
