The next morning, Fang Jinshi came to the Four Seas Tea House, and Shi Hao came over and asked, "How is it?" ”

Fang Jinshi shook his head silently, Shi Hao just wanted to ask a few more words, but saw two officials in soap clothes coming outside, these two walked up to Fang Jinshi, and one said, "Is it Fang Gongzi?" ”

Fang Jinshi nodded and said, "It's exactly below, which yamen are the two of, I don't know what to do with looking for below?" ”

This person said: "We are from the yamen of the state capital, and I am ordered by the prefect Xiong to ask Gongzi Fang to go to the yamen to talk about something." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Fang Jinshi was stunned, and another official immediately said: "The Xiong Governor's Mansion has ordered the seizure of the private tea at the dock, and Fang Gongzi is the first to complain, so he needs to go to the mansion, and the Xiong Governor's Mansion has something to say to Fang Gongzi." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Since the Xiong Governor's Mansion has an order, let's go for it." ”

The two officials led him out, and when he came to the door, Fang Jinshi turned around and said to Shi Hao: "You go to the Criminal Division immediately and bring my post." ”

He followed the two officials to the yamen of Pingjiang Mansion, and when they arrived at the ear room, one of the officials went in to report to Xiong Che that he knew, and after a while, the official came out and said: "The official who checked has not come back yet, and the Xiong Governor's Mansion asked you to wait here." ”

Fang Jinshi had no choice but to wait at the yamen of the state capital, and waited until it was close to noon, when a servant came over and said, "Young Master Fang, Governor Xiong is invited." ”

Fang Jinshi stood up and followed him inside, through a corridor, to a tall house, in front of the door on the left and right sides of the place of a large drum, under the flying eaves, in the middle of the hanging plaque, on which six big characters were written: Tianli, Renqing, National Law.

The two classes of officials stood majestically on both sides, and a sign of "Silence and Avoidance" was erected behind them, which was the main hall of the state capital yamen of Pingjiang Prefecture.

Fang Jinshi was taken aback, and after seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but take two steps back, and the official who led the way stopped and said, "Young Master Fang, Governor Xiong is waiting in the main hall, please come in." ”

Fang Jinshi raised his eyes and looked, Xiong Che was sitting far away behind the high table in the main hall of the Yamen, the knife and pen officials were sitting left and right, waiting for him to come in, Fang Jinshi knew that it was not good, but there was no way not to go in, so he had to slowly walk into the majestic Yamen Hall of the Pingjiang Prefecture Mansion.

He walked to the middle of the main hall and bowed to Xiong Che: "I have seen Xiong Prefect's Mansion in the stone below." ”

Xiong Che sat behind the table, hummed, and then said: "According to your report this morning, I ordered someone to search the wharf warehouse, and sure enough, a large amount of tea was seized, but the wharf steward said that the source of this batch of tea came from your Sihai Tea House, but is it true?" ”

This is undeniable, Fang Jinshi said: "Exactly." ”

Xiong Che paused for a moment, and looked at the master of the criminal name case who was writing the dragon and snake record on the side, as if he was waiting for him to finish writing and then asking, Fang Jinshi chuckled in his heart, although this did not beat the drum and shout Tang Wei to beat the hall, but it was already a posture of judging the case.

Xiong Che and the other criminal masters paused for a moment, and then asked, "Can this batch of tea be introduced?" ”

Fang Jinshi hurriedly said: "Didn't the tea guide be handed over to you yesterday by the Governor Xiong?" He was afraid that if Xiong Che didn't admit it, it would be a big trouble.

Xiong Che picked up a few pages from the desk and unfolded them to him, "But this? ”

Fang Jinshi squinted his eyes and looked at it, Xiong Che said to the official beside him, "Show it to him." ”

A servant took it and presented it to Fang Jinshi, Fang Jinshi took a serious look at it clearly, it was indeed the tea introduction of that batch of tea leaves, and it was indeed given to Xiong Che last night, he confirmed it and said, "Yes." ”

The official took it and handed it back to Xiong Che, and Xiong Che said, "Just admit it." He turned his head to the criminal master and said, "Let him draw the detention." ”

The master took the record document, stuffed a pen in Fang Jinshi's hand, and put the document in front of him, Fang Jinshi read it carefully, but it was just the few words that Fang Xiong Che asked him, and there were no deletions and additions, although so, Fang Jinshi still felt that he couldn't draw this flower, he looked up at Xiong Che, and said: "What's wrong with this tea introduction, please also ask the Xiong prefect to make it clear." ”

Xiong Che leaned on the table, leaned forward and said, "What do you think?" ”

Fang Jinshi thought about it again and again, but still couldn't think of anything wrong, so he had to say: "The tea quotation is from the official mansion and the tea mountain place, and the tea is also collected according to the tea introduction, and the number and grade will never be wrong, and I really can't think of anything wrong in the following." ”

Xiong Che said: "There is nothing wrong, Fang Gongzi is too careful, you sign the flower charge, this batch of tea will be returned to your Sihai Tea House, legitimate trading, how can the government ban it?" ”

Fang Jinshi looked at the tea quotation again, he really couldn't see any problems, Xiong Che sat behind the table, looking at himself with his eyes, he knew that there must be something strange in this, but he couldn't see any problems, in this case, he couldn't help but draw a charge, Fang Jinshi gritted his teeth, and drew a charge on the text.

Xiong Che saw that he had finished drawing the charge, sat up straight, waved his hand to the hall and said, "This case is over today, and tomorrow will be retried, take him down." ”

Fang Jinshi heard Xiong Che say this, bowed and saluted, turned around and walked out, suddenly heard the wind in the back of his head, before he could turn his head, an iron chain came from behind him, tied his hands around his waist, several officials came up, and wrapped a few more, a set of locks, Fang Jinshi couldn't move, he felt that his hand was about to break, he couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted to Xiong Che and asked: "Xiong Zhifu, what does this mean?" ”

Xiong Che picked up the shocking wood and slapped it on the case, his face immediately turned into a stern look, and he shouted: "You violated the law of the imperial court's tea prohibition and sold it privately, the quantity is so huge, and you came to ask me what this means, don't think that you can do anything wrong by relying on the big tree of the prince of Yun, the current law of the imperial court, the prince of Yun will not be able to save you when he comes." ”

Fang Jinshi said loudly: "I have imperial court tea here, how can it be said that it is sold privately?" ”

Xiong Che picked up the tea and said: "Privately creating a court citation is even more of a crime." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "The tea introduction is paid by the imperial court, and the mountain is out, how can it be said that it is privately made, Xiong Zhifu, there is a big seal of the imperial court official on it, and it is also fake?" ”

Xiong Che said: "The big seal is not fake, and there is nothing suspicious about the tea citation, but if you look closely, the tea is red and black ink is on the bottom, which is the big seal first, and then fill in the number, then it is fake." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "This ...... Even so, this tea quote is also from the imperial court, and the big seal is covered by Zhang Zhuan on Huaixi Road, how can it be judged as fake? ”

Xiong Che said coldly: "Nonsense, the rules set by the imperial court, the number of tea quotations written in the mountain field, and the seal used for review by the transfer envoy, how can the order be wrong?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I have heard for a long time that the mountain field of Huaixi Road is dozens of miles away from the transfer embassy, Zhang Zhuan makes the official business busy, and will not always be in the mountain field, he can trust his subordinates to cover a few blank tea quotations, so that his subordinates should be needed from time to time, if the Xiong prefect does not believe it, you can collect the old tea quotations, to see if there is the same situation, only on this basis Xiong Zhifu said that my tea quotation is fake, it is really unconvincing, not to mention the intersection of red seal and ink, the order is difficult to say that it will not be wrong. ”

Xiong Che didn't speak for a long time, picked up the tea and looked at it again, and said in a gentle voice: "Even if there are the same tea guides on the market as you said, you can only blame your bad luck and deserve to be unlucky, for example, there are so many thieves in the world, you can't let go of the thieves you caught." ”

Fang Jinshi laughed angrily when he heard this: "Governor Xiong's rhetoric is really unconvincing. ”

Xiong Che said: "If you go to prison for a few days, you will be served." He didn't talk nonsense anymore, waved his hand to the hall, and several wolf-like servants rushed up, pulling the iron chain and pushing it, shouting, kicking and beating him, and escorted him to the Pingjiang Mansion prison, pushed Fang Jinshi in, closed the prison door and left.

Fang Jinshiqi's lungs were blown up, and he had been beaten and kicked by a lot of officials, but now he seemed to have suffered it himself, lifting a stone to hit his own feet, and even he didn't understand why things suddenly took a turn for the worse and became so out of control.

Fang Jinshi sat on the ground, and he couldn't break free from the chains, he didn't even understand whether it was Xiong Che himself who wanted to suppress the power of Zhao Kai, the prince of Yun, so he treated him like this, or whether Cai Mengfu Zhirong and Xiong Che joined forces to put him to death.

Misfortune and blessing rely on, blessing and misfortune lurk, and he has done several proud things one after another, so he sees things too easily.

I don't know how long it took, Fang Jinshi's hands were numb and I didn't feel anything, I was uncomfortable and hungry, there was finally movement outside the prison door, footsteps started, and several people walked quickly, Fang Jinshi looked up, the person walking in front was Cai An, followed by one person, but it was Shi Hao and Wan Qiao.

When Fang Jinshi saw a few people, he was very excited, and immediately struggled to get started, Cai Ang shouted to the cell leader: "Open the door quickly." ”

The cell boss hurriedly came over, took the key to open the door, and hurriedly untied the iron chain on Fang Jinshi's body, Cai Ang arched his hand again and again: "I'm really sorry, I just just know, let Fang Gongzi suffer, forgive the sin." ”

Fang Jinshi also knew that he was not to blame, there was no restraint in his hands, and he suddenly felt a lot easier, Shi Hao said: "How can this Xiong prefect be like this, indiscriminately, take it when he sees someone." ”

Fang Jinshi knew that in such a place, if he said too much, he would lose it, maybe the wall had ears, and he glanced at Shi Hao at the moment, Shi Hao understood, so he didn't say much.

Fang Jinshi bowed to Wan Qiyu and Cai Ang and said, "I have suffered a great calamity in the next place, and I have to rely on the two of you a lot this time." ”

Cai Ang said: "Fang Gongzi Mo said this, Cai really never expected that the Xiong Governor's Mansion would suddenly do this, Fang just came to ask to see him, he avoided it, and only said tomorrow, he is the governor of Quanpingjiang Mansion, if there is no order from him, I can't do anything, I'm afraid that I will wronged you to stay here for one night tonight, I'm really sorry." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "There is nothing to stay for one night, I am afraid that the Xiong Prefect has a plan and wants to kill me." ”
