Chapter 289: Piercing the Fire

When Jixiangji Fantai hurried to the governor's yamen, he saw at first glance that the palanquin of Li Qinggu, the envoy of Hubei, had stopped outside the governor's yamen - in Wuchang City, the two people of Jiji Fantai and Li Qinggu were qualified to ride in the green sedan chair carried by four people, which was very easy to identify. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There is also a sedan chair for the Yamen of Taiwan, when the sedan chair was auspicious, I happened to see a sedan chair with the mark of the Governor's Yamen in a hurry, the sedan curtain was opened, and Dai Wenjie, the chief of staff of the old fox, strode out. Seeing the great joy, Ji Xiang hurriedly stepped forward, saluted and greeted, and asked tentatively, "Master Dai, why are you here too?" Did Wu Futai send someone to invite you? ”

"Let's go in and talk about it." Devon replied expressionlessly, "I don't know anything at the moment. There is also Ji Fantai, don't say that I am facing Wu Futai, he will arrest your people, naturally he has his reasons, I advise you not to save face to the death, otherwise with Wu Futai's temper, he will not give in even if the lawsuit is brought to the Jinluan Palace. ”

Ji Xiang hurriedly nodded, thanked Dai Wenjie for his guidance in a low voice, and said in his heart: "Go in and understand the situation, the master just doesn't trust Wu Xiaoman, but he doesn't want to clean up the little man, before the long hair is killed, don't turn your face and don't turn your face with this little barbarian." ”

When he entered the lobby of the governor's yamen with Dai Wenjie, Jixiang saw his henchman Liang Kefan kneeling in the lobby at first sight, and there was a crying young woman kneeling next to him, dressed as a maid, Li Qinggu, Yan Jingming, Zhao Liewen and Huang Zhisheng and others on both sides were sitting or standing, Wu Chaoyue was sitting in the middle of the lobby, and there was a stall of tea and teacup powder in front of him.

Seeing Jixiang come in, Liang Kefan, who was shouting at Li Qinggu, was like being beaten with chicken blood, and immediately struggled to shout at Jixiang, shouting with a crying voice: "Lord Fantai, Lord Fantai, the lower official is wronged, the lower official is wronged!" Last night, it was this woman who took the initiative to seduce me, I didn't rape her! I didn't rape her! ”

"Rape?!"

Jixiang almost fainted, but Wu Chaoyue over there roared angrily: "Palm! Don't think that if your master comes, this official won't dare to beat you! ”

Before the words fell, Wu Chaoyue's personal soldiers, who held down Liang Kefan, had already picked up his arm and slapped Liang Kefan's face with a crackle, causing Liang Kefan's cheeks to be red and swollen, the corners of his mouth bleeding, and screaming continuously. Ji Xiang, who was still a little righteous, hurriedly pleaded again, and said: "Wu Futai, be merciful, merciful, Liang Kefan has any crimes, please interrogate you and Li Zhentai according to law, I hope you will read that Liang Kefan is also an official of the imperial court, and ...... him." ”

"Shut up!"

Wu Chaoyue rudely interrupted Jixiang, pointed at Jixiang's nose and roared: "The surname Ji, you pick a good overseer!" I went to the governor's yamen of the official to meet the official, and I dared to drink and have sex promiscuously, ** the maid in the governor's office! You're so bold, this official is not done with you today! ”

Before Wu Chaoyue's words were finished, Jixiang's face was already as pale as paper, and his mind was spinning one after another-the overseer of the Hubei Lijin Bureau, who was personally selected and appointed by himself, turned out to be the **woman on the day she received the official letter of the seal, ** was still the maid in the yamen of the governor of Hubei! This matter is publicized, what kind of face do you have to mix in Hubei again?

"Master, I really didn't rape, that girl was voluntary, she volunteered to go to my bed!"

Liang Kefan struggled and cried again, but in addition to receiving a few more slaps, the maid who had been crying and crying finally cried, "You are rape!" You're rape! It was you who forced me into bed and covered my mouth and bullied me! Lords, lords, you have to be the master of the little girl! ”

At this time, Li Qinggu, who had already seen him unpleasantly when Jixiang had not yet taken office, also opened his mouth, and said in a strange manner: "Ji Fantai forgiveness, this case is a civil case, and it is within the scope of the duties of the lower officials. ”

"Li Zhentai, please feel free, the lower officials dare not interfere." Ji Xiang hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a sad face: "But Li Zhentai, at least let the official know what happened to the case, right?" ”

Li Qinggu hurriedly went to see Wu Chaoyue, and his face quickly changed to a respectful face, while Wu Chaoyue pointed at Liang Kefan and roared angrily: "Let this beast say it himself!" ”

After getting Wu Chaoyue's permission, Liang Kefan crawled to the front of Jixiang on his knees, crying and shouting grievances, and crying and describing the events of last night. Jixiang also knew that when Liang Kefan came to meet Wu Chaoyue, he was catching up with Wu Chaoyue's busy official business, and he was not received by Wu Chaoyue until the evening.

Then, of course, Liang Kefan drank too much, and it was already dark, so Liang Kefan stayed in the guest room of the governor's yamen, and the maid who was responsible for serving Liang Kefan was a little too big when she washed and changed clothes because of her small appearance, and Liang Kefan didn't control the hormonal impulse and hugged the maid to bed, and then in the early morning of this day, Liang Kefan and the maid were caught and raped in bed.

Of course, this paragraph is just Liang Kefan's confession alone, during which the maid kept crying and shouting to deny it, insisting that it was Liang Kefan who covered her mouth and pressed her on the bed*** and said that Liang Kefan threatened her to kill her if she didn't comply, so she didn't dare to shout.

Whether it's **or** Jixiang doesn't mind, during the period, Jixiang only cared about one thing, grabbed Liang Kefan's collar and shouted: "You tell the official the truth, have you touched this woman?" ”

Liang Kefan hesitated and didn't dare to answer, but Li Qinggu over there said with a smile: "This is not difficult to investigate, just call an official media woman to check this woman's body, and there must be traces on that bed." "Anyway, Li Qinggu really sent someone to the Yamen of Zhentai to send the official matchmaker to wait for his life.

"Brute! Say, did you touch her?! ”

Jixiang asked angrily, and the irrefutable Liang Kefan reluctantly nodded, saying that he drank high and didn't control his lower body, and he did get on the maid. Then before Liang Kefan's words were finished, Ji Xiang had already kicked him in the chest, kicked him with five feet to the sky, and roared: "Beast, you have ruined my big thing!" ”

After saying that, Ji Xiang knelt down on Wu Chaoyue's knees, kowtowed and said: "Lord Futai, the subordinates are not strict, causing the subordinate officials to do such ugly things!" The lower officials are willing to accept the guilt, please punish Lord Futai! ”

"This official is not qualified to punish you." Wu Chaoyue said coldly: "Wait for the answer, impeachment of your excerpt, this official has already sent it out with a post station, please ask the emperor and the court to administer justice for this official!" ”

"Is it really already me?" Ji Xiang complained bitterly in his heart, knowing that he would not be able to run away no matter what. At the same time, Jixiang was also faintly strange in his heart, and always felt that this thing was a little strange - although Liang Kefan was indeed a little too lustful, Jixiang didn't believe that Liang Kefan had the courage to ** the maid in the governor's yamen. And he just stretched out his hand to Wu Chaoyue's territory with Liang Kefan as a white glove, and Liang Kefan immediately had an accident, is this a bit too coincidental?

"Could it be the fire hoarding (the ancient name of the immortal jump)?" Jixiang even had such doubts in his heart.

No matter how much you doubt, it's useless, whether it's an immortal jump or not, and whether it's ** or *** Liang Kefan has already gotten on the maid and was caught and raped in bed, Jixiang can't save Liang Kefan even if he has great ability, he can only kowtow obediently and apologize, and promise to hand over Liang Kefan to Hubei Zhentai Yamen for detention and interrogation, Wu Chaoyue's anger subsided slightly, and then he handed over the maid to Li Qinggu, and asked Li Qinggu to take it back to the Yamen for interrogation.

After saying goodbye and leaving, Jixiang hurriedly caught up with Li Qinggu, who had said goodbye first, blocked Li Qinggu in front of the sedan chair, and begged Li Qinggu's subordinates to show mercy in a low voice, and to treat Liang Kefan lightly. However, Li Qinggu, who hated Jixiang and hated the egg, was perfunctory, but secretly said in his heart: "I must open the gap from Liang Kefan and get the handle of Jixiang, a bastard!" ”

It was also after returning to the political envoy yamen that Ji Xiang expressed his doubts in front of Zuo Rui and other henchmen, but Zuo Rui and others were also deeply suspicious, and said: "Dong Weng, it is very likely that it is a common hooligan trick among the people to set fire to the fire, Liang Kefan's kid is lustful, but he has always known the severity, and he will not dare to rape a woman in the governor's yamen with a hundred guts." ”

"Especially when the timing is too good." Zuo Rui added: "Dong Weng, you just appointed Liang Kefan as the superintendent of the Lijin Bureau, Liang Kefan immediately had such a big thing, how do you look at it, it seems that Wu Futai is deliberately arranging and rectifying Liang Kefan, and also indirectly knocking and warning Dong Weng you, so that Dong Weng you don't stretch out your hands on his territory." ”

Jixiang was silent, and only after a while gritted his teeth and scolded, "Hooligans!" Officialdom hooligans! Such a sinister and vicious method is a loss to him! ”

"Dong Weng, this matter must not be resigned, and Liang Kefan must not die without help." Zuo Rui lowered his voice again and said: "First, Liang Kefan knows that Dong Weng has too many things to do, so he has to prevent him from being pried open by others, if Dong Weng you don't care about his life or death, this possibility is naturally greater." ”

"Second, that woman is the key, if we can get her to change her words, or even make her confess that she was instructed by someone, then we can immediately turn defeat into victory."

Ji Xiang nodded thoughtfully, then shook his head again, and said: "I can't do it, I want that bitch to change his mind, unless Li Qinggu helps to cooperate, when I asked Li Qinggu to intercede for Liang Kefan today, he ignored me, obviously jealous that I grabbed the position and blocked his way to promotion." This barbarian has worked with Wu Chaoyue's little barbarian for many years, and there must be a lot of collusion in private, asking him for help, and even giving Wu Chaoyue a handle to arrest the little rascal. ”

"Dong Weng is far-sighted, beyond the reach of the dust, admire, admire." Zuo Rui first slapped a sycophant, and then cautiously asked, "So Dong Weng, how should we deal with it?" ”

"Do everything you can, no matter how much money you spend, you must bring a word to Liang Kefan." Ji Xiang said gloomily: "Tell him directly, the emperor gave me a secret compromise, and clearly said that he would send a Manchurian governor to replace Huashana as the governor of Huguang, and Wu Chaoyue had no chance to be the governor." ”

"Therefore, he must be sure that it was the woman who lured him to bed, and he must not talk nonsense! First muddy the water, so that Li Qinggu can't quickly settle the case, and when Hua Shana's old immortal breathes and the new Manchu governor takes office, I will join forces with the new Manchu governor to save him! ”

Zuo Rui promised, and hurriedly went to find a way to bribe the jailer to visit Liang Kefan and take the opportunity to confess, and then Ji Xiang gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "Little rascal, wait!" When our Manchurian Governor comes, see how I avenge today's one-shot victory!" ”

…………

Of course, Jixiang underestimated Wu Chaoyue's foresight in this regard, in fact, as early as when he successfully caught Liang Kefan in bed, Wu Chaoyue had already expected that after Liang Kefan was imprisoned, Jixiang would definitely try his best to send a letter to Liang Kefan, asking Liang Kefan to avoid the heavy and take it lightly, pour some small mold first, keep his mouth shut and don't reveal other things, and then find a way to save Liang Kefan.

The logic of coming to this conclusion is also very simple, since Liang Kefan is the white glove that Jixiang inserted into the Lijin Bureau to make money, he must be Jixiang's henchman lackey, and he must know that Jixiang is doing countless dirty things behind his back, Jixiang must prevent Liang Kefan from being pried open and shaking out the evidence of his corruption.

There was no injustice in the past, but there was a little grudge recently, Wu Chaoyue never thought that he had to kill Jixiang, but if he could catch some of the evidence of Jixiang's crimes, it would certainly be beneficial and harmless for Wu Chaoyue. So naturally, Wu Chaoyue also asked Zhang Dejian to make some arrangements and secretly monitored Liang Kefan, who was in prison.

It was also after Zhang Dejian took the order to leave that Wu Chaoyue remembered to remind Wu Dada to dispose of the wine with ingredients, and Wu Dadao replied with a smile: "Young Master Sun, don't worry, it has already been poured into the gutter, and the two wine jugs have been washed by Xiao Yi's own hands, whether it is drunk by Liang Kefan or the little bitch who does not abide by women's morals." ”

Wu Chaoyue nodded with satisfaction, and asked with a smile: "By the way, I have always forgotten to ask you, before Shanxiang went to Hunan, after secretly telling me that little bitch was unruly, did you look for her in private?" ”

"Young Master Sun, don't you know how fierce my wife is? If I dare to do such a thing, she will not have to castrate me? Wu Daxi replied with a hippie smile: "Besides, Young Master Sun, your door style is so strict, even if you are small, you have a hundred guts, and you don't dare to break the rules of your door." ”

"Count yourself smart, reward your two unsuccessful yellow flower girls as concubines another day, your wife, I'll say it for you." Wu Chaoyue smiled, and he was extremely glad that he had a soft heart before, and he didn't clean up the maid who was just occasionally inappropriate but helpless, which happened to come in handy last night.

When Wu Da thanked him happily, Zhao Liewen hurriedly came in from outside the door, raised the military intelligence report he had just received in his hand, and said: "Weiting, bad news, we lost the battle in Jiangxi." ”

"Defeat? Who lost the battle? Wu Chaoyue hurriedly asked.

"Xiao Qijiang." Zhao Liewen replied helplessly: "Xiao Qijiang sent troops to intercept Shizhen Jidong's road, and Wang Guocai's rescuers failed to arrive in time during the fierce battle, and Liu Mingchuan was pinned down by Lai Guiying in Baiji, and Shizhenji took the opportunity to break through and escape from southern Fuzhou into Guangxin. ”

Hearing that the situation was not serious, Wu Chaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, just pay attention next time." ”

"Comfort Ting, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy." Zhao Liewen warned: "Hua Zhitai's condition is getting more and more serious, and he may lose his breath at any time, at this juncture, the army we sent out has made another mistake, allowing the long-haired Dakou Shi Zhenji to slip away, and I am afraid that someone in the court will use this matter to make a fuss and prevent you from taking over as the governor of Huguang." ”

After that, Zhao Liewen added: "Also, Xiao Qijiang secretly reported that Wang Guocai's kid made a mistake, drunk in Fuzhou City and scolded the court for being unfair, and other people can go directly to the admiral by choosing a cheap place and relying on their background. The spearhead in the words was directed at the court, and the scolding was still very difficult to hear. ”

Unexpectedly, the deliberate suppression of Wild Boar Skin IX on himself could actually provoke the kingdom from the Green Camp, Wu Chaoyue was secretly happy in his heart, and then asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"Sixteen days ago." Zhao Liewen replied.

"Oops." Wu Chaoyue heard the bitterness and said: "At that time, Ma Xiuru was still in Hubei, and the governor of Jiangxi was still Wenjun, so the kingdom might be unlucky." ”

Zhao Liewen nodded, and he was also extremely worried that Wen Jun, who had been dissatisfied with Hubei for a long time, would take the opportunity to make a small report, and then Zhao Liewen said: "Weiting, if Wen Jun really stabs this matter to the emperor, I am afraid that you will also have to be implicated." After all, the kingdom is what you single-handedly raised, and it is also what you send the province to fight. ”

"It seems that the position of the governor of Huguang, I'm afraid it is even more difficult for me to have hope." Wu Chaoyue smiled bitterly, and then comforted himself and said: "If you can't be it, you can't be it, anyway, I'm still young, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”

The mouth is beautiful, but Wu Chaoyue is still very regretful in his heart, because when he is not the governor of Huguang, it means that Wu Chaoyue can not master the army of Hunan.

As the so-called sky has no eyes, just when Wu Chaoyue resigned himself to his fate and felt that his hope of taking over as the governor of Huguang was getting slimmer and slimmer, because of Zhang Dejian's unintentional move to send someone to monitor Liang Kefan, Wu Chaoyue saw a ray of light again......
