Chapter 172: Clearing Old Accounts
At the south gate of the provincial capital, it was crowded early in the morning, and the prefect Lei Xiaotian and the people of the whole yamen were waiting here early. The www.biquge.info official document had been delivered a few days ago, and the emperor had sent a minister to inspect it.
I'm going to arrive early this morning, so I'm here early. He didn't know who Lord Qincha was, and he didn't mention it in the official document, but he knew that the emperor's dispatch of Qincha this time must be related to Dorha's case.
Although there is no news from the backstage in the capital, Lei Xiaotian has been restless for the past few days. He knew that he would be involved more or less, but fortunately, he was not in the same vein as Dorha, and even if he was really involved, it should not be very serious.
He is familiar with this official way, and his family has prepared enough money to bribe the minister. Bleeding is inevitable, and he can't take care of it now, because people are in the government and money.
If the people are gone, the officials are gone, and no amount of money is in vain. Lei Xiaotian was already an old fox, and after receiving the official letter, he immediately sent his family back to his hometown and brought enough money with him, just in case.
Li Xi of the Li family was standing beside him at this moment, and his face was also gloomy. Dorha was defeated by the emperor and beheaded on the spot. The Li family is now facing a great crisis, as Lei Xiaotian said, now everything depends on the face of this upcoming minister.
Whether you can escape this catastrophe depends on whether you are willing to spend money. Since the Li family took over the industries of the Ye and Tang families, they have not really made a profit until now.
Such a big mess will definitely not be able to make a profit in two or three years, but unfortunately there are unforeseen circumstances, and Dolha can't even hold on to this little time.
Li Xi regretted it very much at the moment, he gave Dorha 100 million taels of silver and didn't earn it back, and now he was bleeding again. I don't know if I can escape this catastrophe in the end?
There was a sound of horses' hooves outside the city gate, and a large group of people and horses finally appeared in the sight of Lei Xiaotian and the others. Lei Xiaotian immediately put on a smiling face, straightened his clothes and stood up straight to welcome the arrival of the minister.
Ye Shaolong had a smile on his face, stretched his neck and looked at the city gate, Lei Xiaotian's chubby figure stood out like a chicken, Ye Shaolong saw him at a glance.
"Old man, what kind of reaction would you have when you said that Lei Xiaotian would see that the minister was me?" Ye Shaolong and Su Can got along along the way, and they were already indistinguishable from each other, and even began to call each other casually.
Su Can naturally knew what kind of mentality Ye Shaolong was, and he pouted with disdain: "Come on, don't show off in front of the old man." This provincial city is not as good as the capital, it is a real mixed place, and things should be done cleanly and neatly, so as not to leave any troubles. ”
What Su Can meant, Ye Shaolong understood that the capital was at the feet of the Son of Heaven and was completely under the control of the emperor. There are almost more foreigners in this provincial city than Chinese, and this is indeed a mixed place. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is much more complicated than the capital.
While the two were talking, the convoy had unknowingly arrived at the city gate, and Lei Xiaotian took the lead in kneeling on the ground. There were more than 300 people kneeling in the black at the entire city gate.
Ye Shaolong tidied up his clothes, bent down and walked out of the carriage, with a hint of a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth: "Get up!" ”
When Lei Xiaotian suddenly heard Ye Shaolong's voice, he was slightly stunned, and slowly looked up at Ye Shaolong with a shocked face.
"Ye Shaolong ......"
Lei Xiaotian exclaimed, he never expected that Ye Shaolong, who had not seen him for many days, would actually become the minister of the Qin Mission.
Li Xi also showed a dead gray color on his face when he saw Ye Shaolong. In an instant, he already knew that he and the Li family were in a catastrophe this time.
"Bold, the official's name is also what you can call directly." Ye Shaolong's face sank, and he directly snorted.
Lei Xiaotian's body trembled slightly, and at this moment he wanted to die. The minister of the Qin mission is Ye Shaolong, and there is still any hope for his future.
"Down, the lower officials don't dare, don't be surprised by the hopeful adults." Lei Xiaotian's body that had just stood up instantly fell to the ground again.
"Since Governor Lei still remembers this official, then things will be easy to handle. And you, Li Xi, hehe....... ”
Ye Shaolong was no longer polite, and directly ordered the two to be arrested, returned to the carriage and marched towards the prefect with the team.
In the lobby of the mansion, Lei Xiaotian and Li Xi were directly handcuffed and shackled, and the four accompanying guards pressed the two to kneel in front of the lobby.
Ye Shaolong put his hands behind his back and looked at the plaque hanging high in the lobby, 'Mirror hanging'. With a sneer, he pointed to the four lacquered gold characters on it and said, "Lei Xiaotian, what you did is not worthy of these four words at all." ”
Lei Xiaotian was crying with a sad face at the moment, and answered the question: "My lord, Lei Xiaotian is willing to confess his guilt, and I just ask you to spare my family." ”
He is a bachelor, and he has been an official for many years, and he has long expected that he will have such a day. Rather than being punished by a big sentence, it is better to simply admit it all.
How could Ye Shaolong let go of Lei Xiaotian so easily, this white-eyed wolf was a dog that couldn't be fed, and how much money had he made on their Ye family before.
If he doesn't let him spit it out, he will be laughed at. Ye Shaolong's face tightened and he smiled shamefully: "If you want Lord Ben to let your family go, it depends on how you behave next." ”
Lei Xiaotian didn't think about it, and kowtowed directly: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the adults, as long as the safety of the lower official's family can be guaranteed, the lower official is willing to do anything." ”
I didn't expect Lei Xiaotian to be so single, which made Ye Shaolong embarrassed him more.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Shaolong snorted coldly, ignored Lei Xiaotian anymore, and turned his gaze to Li Xi: "Do you know what crime you have committed?" ”
Since Li Xi knew that the minister of the Qin Mission was Ye Shaolong, he already knew that he and the Li family would die. When people know that there is no hope of survival, they often burst out with incredible perseverance.
Li Xi was no longer afraid, his waist kneeling on the ground was straight, and he looked directly at Ye Shaolong without fear: "Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, now you can do whatever you want, but if you want my Li family to bow their heads, delusional!" ”
"Hehe, it's good, it's good, it's very backbone! I want to see if you're really tough or fake. After Ye Shaolong finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the main seat and sat down.
grabbed the startling wood and slapped it on the desk, and shouted loudly: "Come on, go to the punishment, the big thirty boards." ”
"Yes!"
The four guards responded neatly, and immediately got a long bench, pressed Li Xi on the bench, two grabbed him and fixed it, and the other two raised their wooden sticks, 'Bang, Bang, Bang' and immediately started fighting.
At first, Li Xi could grit his teeth and not make a sound, but after that, he couldn't hold it anymore and began to cry wolf, and the tough guy image that was tough just now immediately disappeared!
