Chapter 127: Dilemma
In all fairness, Ye Yu doesn't have too noble sentiments, but he must strive for fairness in everything! Although he knows that in this world, nothing is so-called fair.
However, being relatively fair is also one of Ye Yu's pursuits!
"Young master, when will you marry Sister Yueyun?" Qiulan asked casually while pounding Ye Yu's shoulders with her fist.
However, Qiu Lan's words made Ye Yu quite stunned, and then he raised his head and squinted at Qiu Lan, and wondered: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" â
"Young master, when the year comes, you will be crowned, and it's time to think about family affairs! In the past, you used to say that you put your career first, but now that you have become a county magistrate, your business is also on the right track, isn't it time? â
"And the year of the crown......" Ye Yu didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, he would be twenty years old!
But after thinking about it, he glanced at Qiu Lan and said solemnly: "Even if you want to get married, then I have to marry you first!" â
"Young master, don't do it!" As soon as Ye Yu's words fell, Qiu Lan hurriedly vetoed.
"Why, you don't want to?"
"It's not ......" Qiu Lan was in a hurry, hurriedly waved her hand to show what she meant, and then explained: "It's just that Qiu Lan is a servant girl after all, so it's not good for the young master's reputation!" â
Ye Yu, who suddenly understood, smiled indifferently: "What reputation is not famous, young master, I can marry whoever I want, even if the world is pointed to, how can it influence me?" â
The words are sincere and arrogant!
Qiulan was very moved, but her eyes were red and said, "Young Master, you can't do this!" â
Ye Yu was about to say something more, but seeing that Qiulan was on the verge of crying, he swallowed back what he was about to say, clapped his hands and comforted him: "Okay, okay, listen to you, you can do whatever you say, okay?" â
"Then when will you marry Sister Yueyun?"
"Eh, this matter is very tricky, wait for the young master to think about it......"
Seeing Qiulan approaching step by step, Ye Yu was puzzled and asked, "You have to think about it, as soon as this example is opened, your young master will not be your alone in the future!" â
Ye Yu's words made Qiulan not speak for a long time, and silently bowed her head and was silent for a long time. And Ye Yu held Qiulan's hand, and a cold tear full of affection fell on it.
"Qiulan is just a maidservant, even if the young master doesn't dislike it, but for the young master's reputation, it's not a good thing after all! Qiulan doesn't want the young master to have zĂ i regrets......"
"Then you're going to keep this regret to yourself?"
Ye Yu suddenly felt that his heart was inexplicably a little depressed.
Qiu Lan raised her jade face, but smiled: "The young master promised me that we will go to Baitou together, and that is enough!" â
After speaking, without waiting for Ye Yu to speak, he got up and picked up the teapot, and said with a smile: "The tea is cold, Qiulan will change the pot of tea for you!" Tea leaves, still the same as before, no tea balls! â
Just a few words, Ye Yu felt a sour nose!
The corners of his mouth squirmed for a long time, and finally he didn't say a word......
In this place of Anfeng County, it didn't take long to usher in two groups of people, which Ye Yu did not expect.
The first group of people was Shouzhou Tongju who sent someone to send a letter from Zeng Di in the capital, and the content of the letter surprised Ye Yu. He didn't expect Zeng Di, the dignified household secretary, to have the intention of wooing him.
Although there was no direct statement in the letter, Ye Yu could get this kind of implicit rhetoric between literati at a glance. Thinking that Zeng Di was a member of Zhang Shuo's party, Ye Yu was inexplicably rejected in his heart.
Not to mention that when the palace examination was made, Zhang said that he was excluded many times. Let's just say that the messenger who delivered the letter conveyed to him clearly wanted him to make concessions to Zhuo Fengkai's case.
Then it is obvious that Zhuo Fengkai, who has done a lot of evil, is a member of Zhang Shuo's party, otherwise he would not have bothered to treat him with grace and power. But for a traitor like Zhuo Fengkai, how could Ye Yu change his original intention because of a few words from the other party.
Just when Ye Yu planned to go against Zhang Shuo's party and directly hand over Zhuo Fengkai to the government for a fair trial, the arrival of the second group of people completely changed his mind.
Because of this second group of people, Ye Yu is extremely familiar, because this person is his friend Shen Jinchuan back then. Shen Jinchuan served as the judge in Shouzhou, and Anfeng County, which Ye Yu governs, is also one of the five counties under the jurisdiction of Shouzhou.
It's extremely funny to say, Shen Jinchuan served as the judge of a state as a tanhua, and Ye Yu, the champion of the three yuan and the first, actually became a magistrate in the county government.
When it comes to welfare and favorable conditions, the signing judgment is naturally much better than that of the county. After all, according to later generations, cadres at the city level are naturally treated better than cadres at the county level.
However, county-level cadres also have a superior side, that is, they manage the county-level and hold real power.
Shen Jinchuan came to Shouzhou this time, not to make a special trip to visit Ye Yu's friend, but to escort the prisoner Zhuo Fengkai to the government for trial in accordance with Zhizhou's wishes.
At the same time, a letter from Gongsun Pu, the governor of Shouzhou, was also sent. Ye Yu read the content of the letter, and roughly understood the mystery.
There were two groups of people coming before and after, all of whom came around Zhuo Fengkai.
It's just that this second group of people is very upright in name, but they are not good goods. Regarding the murder of Ding Chengju, in addition to Zhuo Fengkai, there is also the former magistrate Zhang Fenglun.
But the state officials only stared at Zhuo Fengkai, but Zhang Fenglun's culpability was not asked, what does this mean? This is obviously to regard Zhuo Fengkai as the focus of the struggle between the two major factions, and as for the case and grievances that Ye Yu values, they are no longer important to these people.
Ye Yu, who sorted out the context of this, saw all the facts clearly at this moment! In the past, Ye Yu still had a good impression of the main battle faction led by Yu Yunwen in the DPRK.
Now it seems that they are just a group of careerists who form a party for personal gain and ignore the suffering of the people. is above the court, what is important is not to stabilize the people's livelihood, but how to suppress the other party, so as to highlight its own ......
From this point of view, Zhang said that the crime of corruption and perversion of the law by the minions of the party is unforgivable, and Yu Yunwen's behavior of the party fighting against disagreeing and disregarding the people's livelihood is not a glorious thing.
Half a catty and eight taels, it's not a good bird!
However, resentment is resentment, but now this situation has pushed Ye Yu into a corner, because neither of them is something he can offend.
But the two sides threw olive branches, but Ye Yu didn't want to accept it. If Ye Yu still wanted to join Yu Yunwen's camp before, after this incident, Ye Yu also scorned the so-called main battle faction of the Southern Song Dynasty.
As for Zhang Shuo's invitation to the party, Ye Yu will not join, this kind of new hatred and old hatred are superimposed, and it is already a dead knot that cannot be untied.
After thinking about it so much, Ye Yu couldn't help laughing at himself, he was a small county magistrate, and he was suddenly remembered by the two major political parties in the imperial court, which was really an unprecedented great honor.
I just wanted to dig out a moth, but I didn't expect to make such a big storm. However, now that he has sorted out the general context of cause and effect, it is up to him to make a decision on this matter.
âŚâŚ
When Shen Jinchuan came to Anfeng County, it was already evening!
In the back hall of the county government, Ye Yu and Shen Jinchuan sat side by side, laughing and chatting for a while, and Shen Jinchuan went directly to the topic.
"Brother Ye, don't hide it, when I came to Anfeng, Lord Gongsun knew the relationship between you and me, so I had a detailed discussion with Shen, and asked Shen and Brother Ye to sort out the evidence of Zhuo Fengkai's crime before escorting the prisoner to the government for acceptance......"
Ye Yu put down the teacup and said with a smile on his face: "It should be so, for the files and incriminating evidence of Zhuo Fengkai's case, Ye has already prepared them, just wait for the government to send someone to escort them!" It's just that I didn't expect that the person who came to escort would be Brother Shen, hahaha! â
"Oh? Brother Ye is really acting resolutely, so that Shen can do his best......" Shen Jinchuan said this, obviously looking a little anxious.
Ye Yu's brows moved slightly, and then he said vaguely: "Eh, Brother Shen is here, how dare Ye be lazy, now you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, besides, it's getting late, it's better to stay in this county for a night, and it's not too late to escort the prisoners back tomorrow!" â
"Eh, then it's going to bother Brother Ye like this!"
Seeing that Ye Yu did not veto in the slightest, Shen Jinchuan's heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
On his way here, he ran into a messenger sent to Anfeng by Lord Tongju. Along the way, he was very worried that he would not be able to persuade Ye Yu, so that Ye Yu destroyed the incriminating evidence, making Zhuo Fengkai's case untenable.
The two talked for a long time, and they didn't disperse until the third watch.
In the brightly lit study, Ye Yu sat alone in front of the table, thinking about how to deal with the choice in front of him.
If Zhuo Fengkai and the incriminating evidence are handed over to Shen Jinchuan tomorrow, judging from the attention of both sides at the moment, as long as Yu Yunwen's faction bites it, they will die to the death. Zhuo Fengkai will definitely get the punishment he deserves, even if it is tinged with partisanship.
However, this is equivalent to Ye Yu directly offending Zhang Shuo's party. This is obviously not a wise move for Ye Yu today. But if it is not handed over to Shen Jinchuan, will Zhuo Fengkai be allowed to go unpunished?
Impunity is still secondary, mainly because of this, it offends Yu Yunwen's faction.
Anyway, in this situation, the left and right can't afford to be guilty!
Squeak!
The door opened gently, and Qiulan walked in with a wooden basin: "Young master, it's time to bathe your feet!" â
"As I said earlier, you don't have to do it yourself......"
Ye Yu said and glanced at the wooden basin: "Huh? It's ......"
"This is tea water, didn't the young master say that tea water is good for the body, this is called recycling!" Qiu Lan rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, revealing her pink and white jade arms, and washed Ye Yu's feet when she went deep into the water.
"Recycling?"
During the whole process of washing his feet, Ye Yu was in a trance, and he seemed to think of something for the four words Qiulan.
In the end, he couldn't help laughing, bent down and kissed Qiulan's cherry, and said happily: "Wake up the dreamer with a word!" â
was attacked by Ye Yu so suddenly, Qiu Lan was stunned on the spot, and then her pretty face blushed, and she lowered her head shyly and continued to wash Ye Yu's feet......
