In the Hangzhou Mansion, Li Qian certainly couldn't be ignorant of the energy background of an envoy. Therefore, for Tao Sheng's favoritism, it was natural to feel a little strange at first.

Fortunately, the sudden impact made him suddenly brightened------ because the man quickly stuffed a small note into his palm in the moment he dragged him.

With the cover of the wide robe and large sleeves, and Li Qian's quick response, naturally there was not the slightest flaw. In the eyes of the guard at the door, the two of them collided with each other and took the opportunity to pull their hands------

That's why Li Qian went to the toilet, in fact, to take a look at the note when no one was around.

There were only four words on that note - beware of fraud!

Speaking of which, the person who secretly handed Li Qian the note was still an old acquaintance.

That's right, the "errand" in the mouth of the errand officer is Sun Mao, the one who led the arrest of Li Qian back to Beijing in Changzhou Mansion------ Li Qian didn't expect to see him again in Hangzhou.

Li Qian was already suspicious, and with Sun Mao's reminder, his vigilance immediately went up to a new level. It is precisely because of this that Tao Sheng was not allowed to make a so-called confession in person, and even the other way around, dug a huge pit for the other party------ and bought one get one free, with a small pit attached.

However, Tao Sheng has been in officialdom for a long time, and it is obviously not easy to be with him, so when he saw that he couldn't please him, he changed his strategy, and came up with an idea for him to get rid of the crime very "kindly", ------ find someone to change the household registration information of the stupid girl.

I have to say that this is a very bad idea, but after some words from the other party, it sounds quite like that, and the feasibility is not high------ but the premise is that Tao Sheng is really thinking about him.

According to Tao Sheng, as long as Li Qian can find the county yahu, change the most primitive first-hand information, and inflate the age of the stupid girl by a few years, the problem can be solved.

Needless to say, Tao Sheng almost patted his chest on the spot and promised him that he would definitely finish this matter for him. As for the copy submitted to the Household Department of the Beijing Division, it is regarded as the result of the carelessness of a certain minor official in the process of recording------ after all, it is all manual copying, and it is normal for there to be some small mistakes occasionally.

This sounds a little incredible, but if a provincial station really wants to speak, it will indeed work. After all, it's not a cheap status to a good one, and a small change in the age of a certain household registration will not be held on to.

In general, although it is a felony to buy a good man as a maid, there are workarounds, and in fact many large families do this. If the people do not raise officials, they will not be investigated, and it will be extremely troublesome to pursue them, because the deeds of sale in these years are written like marriage letters, or they are carried out in the form of adopting a righteous man and a woman, and it is difficult to distinguish between serious and fake------

But raping a young girl is different, this matter can't be, find a stable woman to check it------ Well, of course, this has to be established when Li Qian has already committed the crime of rape and 1 child.

Just imagine, a little girl who is less than ten years old has been broken early, except for you, the person who bought him, who else can be the suspect? According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who rape 1 underage girl under the age of 12 are considered to be harmonious and strong.

What does it mean to pinch?

To the effect that as long as the woman is under the age of 12, whether or not she has her own will, she has sex with her, is considered rape!

This point, in fact, is similar to the law of later generations, after all, the little girl doesn't understand anything, as long as she is patient and coaxed, she can fool the ignorant her into doing a lot of things------ isn't it?

And those who commit adultery, especially those who rape, are to be hanged according to the law------

In other words, as long as the stupid girl is over twelve years old, then in the eyes of Lord Zhentai, he has already forcibly occupied the body of a young girl, and it is not considered a violation of the laws of the country.

However, Li Qian dared to guarantee that this was definitely a big pit dug by the other party for himself, just waiting for him to jump in because of his weak heart.

But he is not stupid, don't say that he didn't commit the crime of raping a child, even if he is really such a beast, it is impossible to stupidly take the initiative to fall into the trap of the opponent------ they will inevitably underestimate their IQ.

So he was just a submissive man on the surface, and he didn't think about it at all in his heart, and after pretending to be affectionate and shouting "Uncle Tao" a few times, he swaggered away from the Yamen------ plucked out his ears, and didn't take away a word of nonsense.

------

In the signing room, Li Qian had just walked with his front feet, and two figures flashed out behind the screen. One of them is Tao Sheng's staff, and the other is Li Qian's rival - Zhao Peng.

"Daxian, this person is young, but he was born with a seven-trick exquisite heart, which is much better than the old fritters who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, I'm afraid it is not easy to deal with." Tao Sheng's master was the first to open his mouth, frowning and said, "Do you think he will be fooled?" ”

"Yes------ Tao Sheng nodded lightly and sighed: "After all, I didn't confess my guilt easily, otherwise I would have taken it down on the spot." Shaking his head, he continued: "As for whether he will join the court, Benxian is not sure now, this person seems to be harmless, but in fact he is shrewd like a ghost, and he is definitely not easy to match!" ”

Zhao Peng couldn't see how capable Li Qian was, but felt that the two in front of him thought too highly of him. However, he still knows a little bit of humility, so although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face, just looked at Tao Sheng and asked, "Dare to ask my lord, how should we deal with this person next?" ”

"It's just a hairy boy who hasn't dried up, if Benxian wants to deal with him, there is a way!"

From beginning to end, Tao Sheng had never looked at such a junior as Zhao Peng at all, if it weren't for the relationship between their Zhao family and the capital, and the gifts he gave were quite rich, how could he, the provincial platform, be willing to take action easily and help them design a trap for Li Qian?

When he first heard about this case, his reaction was not entirely fake, and he was indeed reluctant to take on this case in his heart. It wasn't until Zhao Peng appeared in front of him that he began to lay out this game, and chose to lead Li Qian into the game today. It's just that the other party's reaction was a little unexpected for him, as if he had seen through all this a long time ago, and refused to admit the crime he had committed to his face------

As a last resort, Tao Sheng temporarily changed his tricks and came up with such a bad idea for Li Qian------

Of course, Zhao Peng knew that he couldn't say a few words in front of him, so after seeing that he didn't show his intention to stop, he couldn't help but settle down, and arched his hand with a smile and said, "In this way, there will be Master Lao." ”

Summer nights, slightly cool.

The night breeze blows on the body is particularly comfortable and comfortable, so that people unconsciously forget the sultry heat of the day.

Li Qian was lying in the courtyard, lazily telling stories to a few little girls around him, when a figure suddenly appeared behind him, which really startled everyone.

"What do you want to do? Yes? Tell me what the hell do you want to do? ”

Li Qian pointed at Song Zhong with an indifferent expression with some anger, and scolded viciously: "If you know that people are scary, will you also be scared to death?" I'm really going to scare me to death, can you afford to pay that money? Do you know what I'm worth now? It's going to scare you to death if you say it------"

Song Zhong didn't bother to answer this, just looked at it expressionlessly.

After Zipei and the others were waved back by Li Qian, he said to himself: "I received news that before you arrived at the Yamen of the Zhao family, Zhao Peng, the son of the Zhao family, had already seen Tao Sheng one step ahead of you. ”

"So, in the Yamen, you asked people to pass on the news to me?" Li Qian asked.

"It's not." Song Zhong shook his head very frankly and said, "I didn't know it at the time, and even if I did, I wouldn't let him pass this news on to you." ”

"Why?"

"It's not necessary."

"Why is it not necessary?" Li Qian glared at him with some anger and said, "Could it be that you think that exposing a brocade guard who is already on the bright side will be more important than protecting me?" ”

"Tao Sheng won't do this------"

"You don't want to scold me!" Li Qian interrupted directly: "Don't think I don't know, what kind of person Tao Sheng is. ”

Seeing a little surprise on Song Zhong's face, he continued: "Ling Han of Huiji County, the official reputation is acceptable within two years of his term of office, but Tao Sheng has a suspicion with him, so he is nitpicking and adding charges, and he is now imprisoned in the prison of the Inspectorate General. Tao Sheng deliberately delayed, so the case was not concluded, and now that the time is calculated, it should be more than three months, right? ”

"How did you know about ------" Song Zhong stopped talking, and glanced at Li Qian even more in his heart.

No need to ask him, he knows that Li Qian's intelligence must come from the Qiantang County Ya, because the informants under those Xu officials are the best spies in the local area! Compared with the Jinyi Guards who crossed the river with strong dragons, although their ability to detect intelligence is slightly inferior, they are superior to the number of online people is very large, and smart people can always use this power to do many things for themselves.

After pondering for a moment, Song Zhong changed the topic and said, "Tao Sheng------ or how does the Zhao family plan to deal with you?" ”

"Tao Sheng used a stupid method!" Li Qian said disdainfully: "He gave me a bad idea------

After briefly recounting the 'bad idea' that Tao Sheng used to lure himself into the trap, Li Qian continued: "However, according to Tao Sheng's urine nature in the past, once he chooses to help the Zhao family deal with me, if he doesn't achieve his goal, he won't give up------

"And before that, those things that Zhao Peng committed, although it was all Yao Zhifu who helped wipe his ass behind him, it was impossible for Tao Sheng not to know about it! He didn't debunk this, so it can be said that he is in the same group as the Zhao family, Yao Chun and others! Maybe he wasn't the mastermind, but at least he was an accomplice! ”

said it so categorically, of course Li Qian also had his own careful thoughts.

Anyway, it's just a personal inference, and it's not allowed to say anything else------ but in this way, Tao Sheng can be pushed to the opposite side of Jinyiwei, and it is impossible for Song Zhong not to focus on him.

In fact, there must be many problems in Zhejiang's officialdom, and there will always be a lot of dirty collusion in the dark corners of the prosperity, and there can be no shortage of favoritism and bending the law in a humane society. Especially in this era when the imperial power does not go to the countryside, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is not simple for the magistrate to want to engage in fraud for personal gain?

Therefore, why is Zhu Yuanzhang so fierce and brutal, he can't kill the corrupt officials in the world, because this is tantamount to a problem that can never be solved, and it is useless for anyone to be the emperor!
