Sun Yueling laughed sadly, and at this moment he finally understood the meaning of what Zhong Wuli said to him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoTiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, sure enough, as the Donglin Yu Party, it is difficult to be alone in this catastrophe, the eunuch party is so pressing, only resistance is the only way out, otherwise it will only become fish and meat to be slaughtered.

His eyes were shining, and he glared at Mao Yilu and said, "Lord Mao, if you really want to go your own way, I hope you don't regret it." ”

"Oh?" Mao Yilu raised his eyebrows, looked at him coldly and said, "Are you threatening this official?" ”

Sun Yueling snorted coldly and said: "If Mao Zhongcheng insists on this, then I am also telling you here, if you force me to be cornered, then I don't mind learning from that mechanic Ge Xian, stirring up the city of Suzhou, and seeing how you end up when the time comes." ”

"You ......" Mao Yilu was shocked and angry, pointing at Sun Yueling's hand and trembling, and said, "You dare to rebel?" Sun Yueling's meaning is already obvious, if Mao Yilu insists on taking people, he will be like that Ge Xian, and launch a rebellion among the people of Suzhou.

Sun Yueling raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Try it and see if I dare?" ”

Mao Yilu was completely furious, as a party governor, how could he tolerate such a threat, he waved his hand violently and shouted: "Take it for me!" As soon as the words fell, the officials on both sides rushed towards Sun Yueling.

Sun Yueling had already been prepared, and his true strength was already highly condensed, and the sleeves of his robe were swollen, ready to shoot at any time.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance of the street: "Don't do it." "The voice is high-pitched and very harsh.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a sedan chair on the street being carried by several little eunuchs towards this place quickly, behind the sedan chair there were a large number of people following, the person sitting in the sedan chair opened the sedan curtain, full of eager expressions, needless to say that the shout just now was also sent by this person.

Sun Yueling couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it, this person turned out to be Li Shi, the eunuch in charge of the Yamen of the Weaving Bureau.

Before the sedan chair stopped, Li Shi jumped down from the sedan chair and shouted at Mao Yilu: "Oh, Mao Zhongcheng, fortunately, our family came in time, so you won't be mistaken for a good person......

Mao Yilu frowned, and said unhappily: "Gonggong Li, don't make noise, wait for the official to take the prisoner and then talk to you." After that, he ordered his subordinates, "What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and take Sun Yueling down." ”

"Slow down, slow down......" Li Shi took three steps and two steps, and hurriedly stopped in front of those soap li, and said to Mao Yilu, "This matter is not Sun Yueling's doing, but our family's lax restraints, which disturbed the market shock." No, once our family finds out the reason, we will immediately come to Zhongcheng to make it clear. After that, he shouted to his subordinates: "Why don't you hurry up and bring the evil man up to Mao Zhongcheng." ”

The eunuchs who came with him listened to him and hurriedly escorted a fat eunuch forward. Li Shi pointed at the fat eunuch and sighed: "Oh, Mao Zhongcheng, he was the one who spread the rumors in the last hype turmoil, after our family found out about this matter, we hurried to come and explain it to you, and handed this person over to you for you to dispose of." After that, he sighed again, shook his head and sighed, "This kind of thing happened to the weaving yamen, and I am also not strict with the emperor to say anything, and I can't escape the blame, and I will write to the imperial court to request that ......it be dealt with."

Mao Yilu shouted at Li Shi: "Yan Peiwei and others have confessed, Gonggong Li, you don't know the truth, get out of the way, don't hinder me from arresting the criminals......"

Li Shi didn't get out of the way, but just said: "It's impossible, these rumors obviously spread from my weaving yamen, and it took me a lot of work to find out that it was this little rabbit cub, how could it be Yan Peiwei's people?" ”

The fat eunuch was also very cooperative at this time, nodded and said: "Yes, all rumors are spread by small ones, and the small ones are guilty, please be lenient!" After that, he knelt down and kowtowed to Mao Yilu.

Mao Yilu was completely angry, and yelled at Li Shi: "Li Shi, what kind of fame are you doing, do you know what you do?" What are you so busy? ”

Li Shi looked at Mao Yilu and said solemnly: "Lord Mao's words make it difficult for our family to understand. Our family investigated and found out the perpetrator in their own yamen, and found that he was the first evil who hyped up the turmoil last time, and now he is presented to Lord Mao, what, Lord Mao still doesn't want it? ”

Mao Yilu was speechless, and the weaving yamen found out that the rumors were the first evil, and of course he had no reason to refuse to accept it. And almost everyone knows that the rumor-mongers come from the weaving yamen, and now Li Shi has killed his relatives and sacrificed this person, which means that Yan Peiwei and others are very likely to be beaten into tricks, if they insist on sealing down the trading company like this, I am afraid that the spread of the situation will really provoke public opinion.

Even though Mao Yilu was extremely annoyed in his heart, he had to stop at this moment, so he looked at Sun Yueling fiercely, pointed at him and said: "Although Gonggong Li offered the culprit, Sun Yueling is still a major suspect, and he can't ignore it at this time. ”

Sun Yueling stood on the steps, the whole person looked very relaxed, and actually smiled leisurely at Mao Yilu: "Okay, in this way, I will go to the yamen with you, and I will definitely cooperate with the investigation of the official office, and I will never escape." ”

Mao Yilu was very angry and shouted: "Bring them all back to the yamen for me." After that, he turned around and walked away, never looking at Li Shi who was standing there again.

Due to Li Shi's sudden insertion, even if Mao Yilu wanted to forcibly suppress this case, it became unrealistic. In desperation, he could only order the Yamen of the Si Si to open a court to retry the case.

Wang Qitai had long been prepared to arrest Sun Yueling and return him to the government for a forcible surprise trial, and even if Sun Yueling refused to confess, he was confident that he could carry out his crimes. But Li Shi actually offered the culprit of the rumor-mongering, which made his plan unable to be implemented as he wished, and he became in a dilemma. Since the weaving yamen intervened, if it still went all the way to the dark at this time, I was afraid that the consequences would be unpredictable; But if it is a normal trial, then this plan against Sun Yueling will be frustrated, and it will be entrusted by the governor.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Cao Changhe, the political envoy, actually came, and not only that, but many merchants in those joint trading companies also flocked to the Yamen. The matter had developed to this point, and seeing that it was impossible to cover it up, Wang Qitai immediately decided to try the case publicly.

So, after the retrial in court, Yan Peiwei, Yang Nianru and others confronted Sun Yueling face to face, and without exception, they chose to change their hexagrams in court one by one, claiming that they were by no means the makers of rumors, and Sun Yueling was naturally not the instructor of rumors. Not only that, Yan Peiwei and others also countersued the head arrester in charge of torture to beat and persecute them, forcing them to frame Sun Yueling as the first evil to spread rumors.

And the fat eunuch who weaved the yamen confessed to the fact of spreading rumors, and he talked about the subtleties of when and how to spread the rumors, and confirmed them one by one from the problems of his confession and the situation that happened on the market, so that all the adults who heard the trial could not find any fault.

The trial soon came to an end. Sun Yueling, Yan Peiwei and others were naturally acquitted, while the fat eunuch was sentenced to 30 canes, exiled to the border pass, and put in prison. At this time, in order to appease the anger of everyone, Wang Qitai could only take the head arrester in charge of interrogation into custody and prepare to punish him for the crime of indiscriminate punishment.

When Sun Yueling took Yan Peiwei, Yang Nianru, Shen Yang and others back to the United Trading Company, Yan Peiwei and the others ignored the pain of their bodies, bowed to Sun Yueling, and cried sadly: "I can't stand the torture, I testify against the master, the crime is unforgivable, and I will never have the face to face the owner again, and I ask the owner to expel us from the trading company and punish him severely......"

Sun Yueling looked down at them, only to see that Yan Peiwei's hands were bloody and fleshy, and his cheeks were red and swollen, showing that he had suffered a lot in prison; Yang Nianru and Shen Yang were even more miserable, they were carried back all the way by the guys, and they also struggled to get off the ground at this moment, bowing to him non-stop, and instantly stained the ground red.

Seeing them in such a miserable situation, Sun Yueling was already relieved in his heart, squatted down to support them and said, "You were beaten into a trick, I can't blame you for this." I'm afraid that no one else can endure such torture......"

Yan Peiwei and the others heard that Sun Yueling did not blame them, and their hearts were extremely moved, but they didn't get up, but just said vigorously: "I can't wait for the master, and ask the master to punish him, otherwise I will be uneasy!" ”

Sun Yueling said: "You all get up for me, first take care of your body, and then work well for the trading company." That's the greatest comfort to me! ”

Yan Peiwei and the others responded, hurriedly thanked them, and stood up with the support of others.

Sun Yueling ordered them to be sent to the backyard and asked the doctor to come over to treat their injuries, and the busy work lasted for a while before it ended.

This night, he stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and his heart was constantly worried. This time Li Shi was able to come forward to help, presumably because of Qi Liao's persuasion, otherwise, Li Shi would not have sacrificed a cronie to protect himself. If it weren't for Li Shi's timely arrival, I'm afraid that the United Trading Company would be seized by the government, and his Sun Yueling would be like Zhong Ling, and he would have become a person on the government's wanted list from now on, and he would never see the sun again.

Although the Associated Press Trading Company avoided this catastrophe, it is not difficult to see that Mao Yilu and others have already hated him and the Associated Press Trading Company to the core, and the hatred cannot be eliminated quickly. This conspiracy did not succeed, and future actions will inevitably be taken against the Associated Press Trading Company, and the days ahead can be described as difficult.

However, at this point, not only him, but all the business owners, including the United Society, could no longer retreat, so they could only rise to the occasion, either disbanding and closing down the trading company, or carrying it forward under the pressure of Mao Yilu.

Sun Yueling's fighting spirit was high, since the storm is coming, then let it come more violently!

……

In the post house in the north of the city, Liu Dexi asked Mao Yilu, who had a humble face: "Mao Zhongcheng, I heard that you took someone to seize Sun Yueling's United Trading Company today?" ”

These words happened to ask the sore spot in his heart, and the reason why he came overnight was also for this matter, so he said: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, today's lower officials did bring people to seize the United Trading Company, but they were disturbed by Li Shi, who weaved the yamen. This Li Shi actually handed over a eunuch, saying that all the rumors were spread by this person, so the lower officials could only put the eunuch in prison for punishment, and as for Sun Yueling and others, they were acquitted......"

Liu Dexi let out an "oh" and said lightly: "Since this matter has been revealed, then you can also close the case, why are you so restless?" ”

Mao Yilu slandered in his heart, this Liu Dexi came to investigate and deal with the Jiangnan Donglin Party, but at this juncture, he pretended to be like a nobody, so he said angrily: "Father-in-law, don't forget the purpose of your visit to Jiangnan." Now Zhou Shunchang led a group of students to surround the gate of Fuya all day long, insulting the court and Gonggong Wei, if this matter has been dragged on like this, the lower officials dare not guarantee that nothing will happen......"

Liu Dexi laughed and said, "Don't be angry Mao Zhongcheng, haven't we been paying attention to this matter?" If you have any opinions, it doesn't hurt to talk about them! ”

Mao Yilu snorted sullenly and said: "The reason why Zhou Shunchang, Sun Yueling and others are so arrogant is nothing more than that all the yamen cannot be united, and many people still have fornications with Donglin, so we are tied up and it is difficult to do our best......

Liu Dexi nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Mao Yilu said: "For example, today's matter, it is Li Shi of the Weaving Bureau who helped Sun Yueling in time, and I waited to return in vain." After a pause, he continued, "I remember the last time my father-in-law negotiated with Zhong Buli, it was also this Li Shi who did the trick from Zhong and protected Zhong Buli, wanting to exonerate Donglin......

Liu Dexi remembered the previous things, nodded and said: "What you said is right, Li Shi's committee is really hateful, but he is holding the court's money but calling for those Donglin people......"

Mao Yilu saw that he agreed, and then said: "In my opinion, at least eighty percent of this Li Shi was bought by the Donglin Party, otherwise how would he dare to do such a thing?" ”

Liu Dexi frowned and pondered for a while, and categorically denied: "No, I don't think Li Shi has the courage to betray the factory father." The reason why he did such an act is probably that he received too much silver from others on weekdays and left a handle in the hands of others. Now that others have something to ask for, he can't afford to refuse with this face. ”

"That's what my father-in-law said." Mao Yilu nodded more than once, and then sighed again, "However, if this Li Shi intervenes everywhere, I am afraid that we will be hindered everywhere and it will be difficult to do our best to deal with the Donglin Party!" ”

Liu Dexi smiled coldly and said, "Since Li Shi likes to stand out for others so much, you and I might as well push him and see how he copes?" ”

Mao Yilu didn't know why, and said in surprise: "What does my father-in-law mean?" ”

Liu Dexi turned around and took a note from the bookcase, and said for Mao Yilu: "You read it first." ”

Mao Yilu took it and opened it, but it was a letter of Li Shi's impeachment of Zhou Qiyuan, the governor of Suzhou, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "This ...... Li Shi's bullet fold? ”
