"Brother Xue, for the sake of our officials in the same house, you have to help your brother this time!"

After the initial stunned, Shi Muen suddenly came back to his senses, he realized that he had encountered a threshold in his career this time, so he said after arching his hand at Xue Liang, his face was a little pale.

If he just sent troops to the inn to arrest Li Hongyu, Shi Muen would not be so flustered, the key is that Sakurako Yamashita was almost killed in the prison, and it was born in front of Li Hongyu's eyes, once Li Hongyu is investigated, he will not escape the blame.

Therefore, Shi Muen changed his previous arrogance and gave up Shangguan's frame to ask Xue Liang for help, Xue Liang is not only Li Hongyu's fellow countryman but also the same department, the two have a close relationship, and they are regarded as people from Li Hongyu's line, so he can only ask Xue Liang for help.

As an auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty, Li Hongyu will naturally be regarded as the leader of a faction in the court by the officials in the court, and its core personnel are some of the same scholars who were promoted with him in the 47th year of Wanli.

Among them, Shi Muen naturally included, and Shi Muen was indeed able to become the official of Hangzhou Mansion because of Li Hongyu's support, and the young Li Hongyu had already accumulated a foundation in the court invisibly.

"My lord's words are serious, the lower official is the official of Hangzhou Mansion, so he naturally attaches great importance to the affairs of Hangzhou Mansion."

Seeing Shi Muen's attitude, Xue Liang's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness, he knew that Shi Muen was scared, so he bowed his hand to Shi Muen and said, now is a good time to sell Shi Muen a favor.

Xue Liang knew very well in his heart that Li Hongyu did not mean to make a big deal now, after all, it was now approaching the time when the first overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty set sail.

Therefore, he must go all out to control the situation, otherwise if he waits for Li Hongyu to make a move, then Hangzhou Mansion may be a bloody storm, and the auxiliary ministers of the imperial court will be so fooled?

And taking down Shi Muen is the key to the matter, as long as Shi Muen, the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture, nods, then it will be much easier for him to act in the future.

"Brother Wei used to be in the capital and had several encounters with scholars, and now the scholars have come to Hangzhou Mansion to be brothers, so they naturally want to do the friendship of landlords, I don't know if it is convenient for brothers to meet scholars?"

Seeing that Xue Liang agreed in one bite, Shi Muen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Xue Liang with a smile, his tone became much closer, and he called Xue Liang a brother.

Although Xue Liang is now only the promoter of the seventh grade, and Shi Muen is the prefect of the fourth grade, because he is backed by the towering tree of Li Hongyu, Xue Liang's career is unlimited, and his achievements must be over Shi Muen.

Speaking of which, Shi Muen was just a principal of the Ministry of Industry more than a year ago, and the place where he stayed was an out-and-out cold water yamen.

Because of the rise of the Donglin Party, Shi Muen, who was a member of the Donglin Party, was promoted and sent to a wealthy place like Hangzhou to govern.

Although the Donglin Party has now overwhelmed the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang in the court, Shi Muen does not dare to underestimate Li Hongyu, who is regarded as the Chu Party, Li Hongyu is not only a member of the Chu Party, but also has a good relationship with several members of the Donglin Party, and the key is that the teacher of the Emperor of the Apocalypse has won the trust of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Now Li Hongyu is busy with overseas trade matters, and he is far away from the capital, so he has not intervened in the cruel party struggle in the capital, in case he offends Li Hongyu in Hangzhou Mansion and makes Li Hongyu return to the capital to participate in the party struggle, then he is afraid that he will be scolded to death by the people of the Donglin Party.

"My lord, the reason why the scholar is so far is that he doesn't want others to know his identity, and it would be inappropriate for the adult to go and see him."

Xue Liang knew what Shi Muen meant, and I was afraid that Shi Muen still had the intention of confirming whether what he said was true, so he made a suggestion after pondering for a while, "According to the lower officials, it is better to do this, the lower officials will book a private room for the adults in the teahouse facing the street, and the adults will sit in the window seats, and if the scholars walk by the street, the adults will also be able to meet them." ”

"That's very good."

Shi Muen suddenly had a look of disappointment on his face when he heard this, and then nodded, as Xue Liang said, he had to at least confirm that the person he was facing was Li Hongyu, otherwise wouldn't he become a wronged leader?

"My lord, then the lower official will go to investigate the case in the prison." Seeing this, Xue Liang bowed his hand to Shi Muen and spoke.

"Hmm."

Shi Muen frowned slightly when he heard this, and then sighed for a while and instructed, "This case is decided, don't drag the mud and water, if you wait for the governor and them to come back, things will become more troublesome." ”

Due to the case of Ningbo Futian Gaofeng and others, the governor of Zhejiang and other chief officials of the four major yamen have all gone to Ningbo, and they will return to Hangzhou in a few days.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Mu En naturally hopes that the case will be completed as soon as possible, as long as Li Hongyu approves, then no one will be able to turn over this case again.

"Return the Zhang family's things early tomorrow morning and draw a line with them!" After Xue Liang left, Shi Muen called the housekeeper over and said in a deep voice.

Zhang's family is the gentry family in Qiantang County who tried to **** the cherry blossoms under the mountain, but he was unlucky to meet this little witch in Dongying, and lost his old life in vain, not to mention taking the life of a son.

Now the Zhang family is surrounded by miserable clouds and mist, the family is crying, full of funeral vegetarians, mages and Taoist priests are doing Dharma to be killed by the father and son of the mountain Sakura, not only that, but also to bear the criticism of the outside world.

For the sake of Zhang Shigentry's face, the people of the Zhang family insisted that it was Yamashita Sakura's vanity that seduced Zhang Shig, and then killed Zhang Shishen for money, took away the Zhang family's heirloom, a pair of blood jade jade bracelets, and later murdered one of Zhang Shig's sons with a firearm in order to escape.

Since you want to fight a lawsuit, you must comb the relationship in the yamen, the Zhang family has made a bloody investment for this case, not only did the Qiantang County government in charge of the case go up and down, but also gave Shi Muen a generous gift, and the Zhang family of the prefect's dock naturally wanted to worship.

Originally, Shi Muen didn't think there was anything wrong, things like this have long become commonplace, after all, the rumors of "three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver" did not come out of thin air, and Hangzhou Mansion is a rich place second only to Yangzhou in the world, and money exchanges are naturally indispensable.

But now the situation is different, Shi Muen already knows that the person the Zhang family provoked this time is Li Hongyu, so even if he is given the courage to accept the Zhang family's money again, he immediately decides to draw a line with him, so as not to be dragged down by it.

"My lord, Madame likes a ruby from the Zhang family very much, can you keep it?" The housekeeper was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what was going on, so he asked tentatively, anyway, the Zhang family didn't dare to say anything.

"If you don't leave any of them, send them all back to me, and tell Madame that I will find him a better ruby in the future!" Shi Muen's face sank when he heard this, and he told in a deep voice that he didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhang family now.

"The little one understands." The housekeeper realized from Shi Muen's reaction that something was wrong, and hurriedly bowed down and said.

"Tell Madame that you must not leave anything behind." When the housekeeper left and walked to the door, Shi Muen remembered something, and couldn't help but tell him, he was worried that his wife would keep the ruby from him, and then things would be bad.

Hearing this, the housekeeper bowed to Shi Muen, and walked quickly to do what Shi Muen ordered, it seems that what Shi Muen encountered this time was not simple, otherwise he would not be so cautious.

The execution chamber clerk who was waiting for news at the inn soon received Shi Muen's order, and hurriedly left the inn with the officials of the mansion.

The priest of the torture room secretly exhaled in his heart, it seems that the young man in the inn is not small, otherwise Shi Muen would have let them return to the palace so quickly? Thankfully, he didn't offend the young man.

The guests in the inn talked to each other after the servants left, and they didn't know what was going on, although the place gradually became calm, but another part of the city of Hangzhou was noisy.

The Zhang family, who was hung with a white cloth on the door, was led by the officials of the torture room to break in, and without saying a word, the Zhang family's family was all arrested and sent to the government prison, which made the Zhang family a mess.

For the sudden appearance of the government officials, the people of the Zhang family did not have any mental preparation, and they were imprisoned in the government prison in a daze, shouting that the sky should not be used every day, and that the earth and the earth were not spiritual.

The prison guards have been instructed by the prison officials that no one should have contact with the Zhang family, and violators will be severely punished.

Due to the murder of Sakurako at Yamashita not long ago, the Zhang family who bought the murder was arrested and put in prison in a blink of an eye, and the jailers naturally knew that the Zhang family had offended a terrible character, so who was full of food and supported it, which made the Zhang family out of the Zhang family no matter how many people could not get the slightest news from the jailers.

Although the jailers love money, it is clear that they value their lives more, and if they have no life, then no amount of money is useless.

After the people up and down the family were arrested by the officials of the government, naturally there were people close to the government who sent people to the government overnight to find familiar officials to inquire about the news, but they only knew that the Zhang family bought murders, and the others were no longer known.

As for the evidence of the murder that the Zhang family bought, the jailers poured beans into a bamboo tube without waiting for the punishment room officials to use the big punishment, and confessed in one go, saying that they had received a lot of money from the Zhang family's housekeeper, so they took the risk of killing Sakurako Yamashita.

The housekeeper of the Zhang family began to insist on wanting to be a loyal servant to the Zhang family, but unfortunately he was immediately wilted as soon as he was punished, and he honestly confessed that it was the younger brother and son of the gentry Zhang who instructed him to buy the servants in the prison, and after Xue Liang took over the case of Yamashita Sakurako, they felt that things might be worse, so they struck first and took revenge on Yamashita Sakurako in addition to avenging the dead gentry father and son.

In this way, in the early morning, the prison officer had already obtained everyone's confessions, and Zhang Shishen's younger brother and son also confessed honestly under torture and confessed all their crimes.

What is especially important is that if it weren't for the nod of the Zhang family, the housekeeper would not have been able to come up with the heavy amount of money to bribe the jailers, a huge amount of money that was enough to make the jailers take risks.
