Chapter 582: Secret to Hangzhou Mansion
As the saying goes, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.
It was already evening when Li Hongyu and Youlan left the Customs Department, and Li Hongyu dealt with some things in the Customs Department by the way, and the Customs Department was now in its infancy, and there were many things for him to worry about.
"Sir, go and save my young lady, she was arrested by the people of the Hangzhou Mansion." As soon as he returned to the Hundred Flowers Opera Club, a man waiting in the reception hall greeted him and said eagerly, speaking with a somewhat stiff accent.
"What happened to Sakurako?" Li Hongyu recognized it at a glance, this man was the guard next to Sakurako Yamashita, and couldn't help but ask with some surprise.
Since coming to Yangzhou, because of the many affairs at hand, Li Hongyu and Youlan did not have time to accompany Yamashita Sakurako, Yamashita Sakurako led people to go out alone with great interest, first Suzhou and then Hangzhou, to "have heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below" Suzhou and Hangzhou Erzhou to visit.
It is inferred from the schedule that Yamashita Sakurako should be in Hangzhou now, and will return to Yangzhou to meet Li Hongyu in a few days.
"Sir, Miss Sakurako was almost slighted by a lustful man in Hangzhou, and she killed him with a short knife in a hurry."
A trace of anger appeared on the guard's face, and he said to Li Hongyu in a deep voice, "That man is very powerful in the local area, and now the young lady has been imprisoned, I hope Mr. will find a way to rescue him!" ”
"man?" Youlan, who was following Li Hongyu's side, was stunned when she heard this, and then her eyes were cold, Sakurako under the mountain was only ten years old, and there were men who wanted to scare her, it was simply not as good as a beast!
"It's more than innocent to die!"
Li Hongyu's face was immediately as cold as frost, and he spit out four words coldly in his mouth, Yamashita Sakurako is his future wife, and someone dares to take advantage of her, it is simply looking for death.
"Early tomorrow morning, we will leave for Hangzhou with me." Then, Li Hongyu said to the guard in a deep voice, how could he sit back and watch Sakurako under the mountain in prison, and he knew everything about the filth in the prison.
The guard immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, bowed to Li Hongyu and left.
"Sir, Sakurako won't have an accident in prison, right?" After the guard left, Youlan couldn't help but look at Li Hongyu worriedly, if those jailers did something out of the ordinary to Sakurako Yamashita, it would be bad.
"Sakurako is safe now, and the people of the yamen will definitely not dare to act rashly before they find out the details of Sakura."
Li Hongyu shook his head, his brows furrowed tightly, it was now getting closer and closer to the time when he left for Jilong Harbor, and it seemed that the matter of Sakurako Yamashita should be resolved as soon as possible.
"Alas!"
Seeing this, Youlan couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, and a look of care appeared in her eyes when she looked at Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu's official business was busy enough, and now these troubles popped up, and her heart couldn't help but start to feel sorry for Li Hongyu.
Two days later, the Hangzhou government office.
"My son-in-law and your Xue Tuiguan are old friends, please hand over the worship post to Xue Tuiguan." A man gave the name slip in his hand to a doorman standing in front of the government and said in a deep voice.
The doorman glanced at the man, and now there was a hint of arrogance in his words and deeds, knowing that the other party was not small, he naturally did not dare to make it difficult to ask for money, and hurriedly took the greeting post into the door.
"Where is your son-in-law now?" After a while, a man in his thirties wearing a seventh-grade official robe walked out of it quickly, and asked urgently after seeing the man who gave the name post.
"My lord, my son-in-law is waiting for my lord in the teahouse." The man who had given the name post turned to his side and stretched out his hand to the man in his thirties and made a gesture of please.
Hearing this, the man in his thirties said a few words to the official who was following him, and then left with the man who had delivered the name to the carriage parked nearby.
This thirty-year-old man is Xue Liang, the governor of Hangzhou Prefecture, a third-class jinshi in the palace examination in the 47th year of Wanli, a native of Changsha Mansion, Huguang, who was transferred to Hangzhou Mansion a year ago and became a magistrate.
In addition to the Shuntian Mansion and the Yingtian Mansion for the six products, the officials of other Ming provinces are the seven products, and they are in charge of the criminal name and praise the code.
"Scholar, why did you come to Hangzhou?"
In the private room of a teahouse in Hangzhou City, Xue Liang pushed the door and asked Li Hongyu with a surprised expression after pushing the door in, and then his expression became relaxed.
He was born in Huguang and is the same scholar as Li Hongyu, so he naturally knows Li Hongyu, and the relationship between the two sides is very close.
Xue Liangneng became the official of Hangzhou Prefecture, relying on Li Hongyu's relationship, and after he stayed in the position of the official for a few years, he would be transferred to the Yamen of the Zhejiang Political Envoy Department, and after a few years of seniority, he would be transferred back to the capital to serve in the yamen of various ministries and institutes, and his career had already been paved.
Others may not know, but Xue Liang has been paying attention to Li Hongyu's dynamics, and the assassination of "Li Hongyu" scared Xue Liang some time ago, and there are all kinds of rumors on the market.
Xue Liang knew that Li Hongyu had been busy with overseas trade recently, and was taken aback after receiving Li Hongyu's greetings, he naturally recognized Li Hongyu's words, so he hurriedly came to meet him, thinking that something big had happened.
Now seeing Li Hongyu talking and laughing with a beautiful woman safe and sound, a hanging stone in Xue Liang's heart suddenly fell.
"Brother Xue, I came here this time to ask for something." Li Hongyu got up with a smile and welcomed Xue Liang in, and then spoke.
"The scholar laughed, the scholar is an auxiliary minister, what is not a matter of words, where do you need me." Hearing this, Xue Liang hurriedly waved his hand and replied with a smile, the position of the governor of Hangzhou Mansion was still won by Li Hongyu.
"Ugh."
Li Hongyu couldn't help but sigh helplessly when he heard this, stretched out his hand to signal Xue Liang to sit down, and then said, "Brother Xue, do you know about the bloody case in Qiantang County not long ago?" ”
"Bloody case in Qiantang County!" Xue Liang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu with some astonishment, "The scholar is talking about the little girl who killed someone?" ”
"Exactly." Li Hongyu nodded with a wry smile, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "I can't hide it, that girl has a lot of relationship with me, she will never kill people for no reason, and I hope that Brother Xue can find out the truth as soon as possible." ”
"Don't worry, this matter is on me!"
Xue Liang understood now, it turned out that the little girl was actually related to Li Hongyu, no wonder Li Hongyu wanted to avoid it, and then agreed to it, this case was within his purview.
"Lord Xue, I heard that my little sister is now locked up in the prison of the county government of Qiantang County, and I hope that my lord can make it convenient for me to go and send her a few clean clothes to go in." At this time, Youlan gave Xue Liang a cup of fragrant tea and bowed slightly to him and said.
"Scholar, this is ......"
Seeing this, Xue Liang hurriedly stood up, how dare he just sit and accept this gift from this stunningly beautiful woman who is close to Li Hongyu, and looked at Youlan with some suspicion and asked Li Hongyu, not knowing who this unbelievably beautiful woman was.
"She is my confidante and the girl's sister, and Brother Xue has to worry about this matter."
Li Hongyu smiled and introduced Youlan to Xue Liang, he wanted to say that it was his fiancée, but after thinking about it, such words would definitely lead to a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings, so he used "confidante" to describe Youlan.
"University scholar, without further ado, I will go to the county government of Qiantang County to take over the case now, and after the case is over, I will set up a banquet for the university scholar to pick up the wind and wash the dust." When Xue Liang heard this, he immediately understood that Youlan was Li Hongyu's woman, and then said to Li Hongyu.
"After this case is over, I will hold a banquet, let's drink and talk happily, and we will not get drunk and go home!" Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and also said to Xue Liang.
"Sir, I'll go with Master Xue, and I'll have a good time to take care of it then." Youlan then bowed slightly to Li Hongyu and said, ready to take care of Sakurako under the mountain.
"Hmm!" Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, the reason why he brought Youlan was to take care of Yamashita Sakurako, after all, he was a man and couldn't have too close contact with Yamashita Sakurako.
Xue Liang on the side suddenly showed a thoughtful look when he saw this, from the conversation between Youlan and Li Hongyu, he was keenly aware of the importance of Sakurako Yamashita to Li Hongyu, otherwise Li Hongyu would not have come to Hangzhou in person, and now he knew how to handle the case.
Soon after, Xue Liang personally took the people from the Hangzhou government to the Qiantang County government and handed over the documents to the Qiantang County magistrate who took over the Yamashita Sakura case.
Qiantang County is the Yiguo County of Hangzhou Prefecture, in other words, the county government of Qiantang County is also in the city of Hangzhou, which makes it very convenient for Xue Liang to do things.
The magistrate of Qiantang County was taken aback by Xue Liang's arrival, but he didn't expect Xue Liang to suddenly come to take over the case of Sakurako under the mountain.
He is now worried about this case, although the family of the deceased wants him to severely punish Yamashita Sakurako for homicide, but Yamashita Sakurako looks like a person with a great background, so he does not dare to act rashly, and uses delaying means to wait and see what happens.
Sure enough, the county magistrate of Qiantang County was prescient, Xue Liang's visit this time invisibly confirmed the deep speculation of Yamashita Sakura's back, he didn't think that Xue Liang was going to take over this tricky case for no reason, and he also brought people here in person.
Although the magistrate of Qiantang County had a lot of doubts in his heart, he did not ask the reason, but went through the procedures for handing over the case with Xue Liang with interest, and threw this hot potato out, so as not to be implicated in the case, it is better to hide as far away as possible.
What made the magistrate of Qiantang County secretly rejoice was that because he had suspected that Yamashita Sakurako was not simple, so in order to avoid trouble in the future, he not only let Yamashita Sakurako live in a single cell, but also served her with good food and drink, and strictly ordered anyone to disturb her, and the violators were severely punished.
Therefore, the magistrate of Qiantang County can be regarded as having a clear conscience, God knows which god stands behind that brutal and powerful little girl, so it is better to avoid it from afar.
