Chapter Seventy-One: Qiankun Langlang (II)
Jiangnan West Road, Longxing Mansion.
Slowly putting down the teacup, Ye Mengding was silent.
"If we can take down Jia Yufeng this time, we will have a lot of peace in the future." Wang Yao said with a slight smile, the chess pieces in his hand fell on the chessboard with a "bang", judging from the chessboard, Wang Yao's sunspot situation is very good, if Ye Mengding does not remedy it, I am afraid that the big dragon will be eaten alive, and in the real political game, their situation is not unprecedentedly good?
Ye Mengding's gaze was still bright, and it did not dim because of age at all, as if time had left a mark on him, but it did not take away the high fighting spirit and dazzling look in his eyes:
"This time, the pressure on Yuanlie is not small, after all, no one knows what that Jia Xianggong will take to fight back, so we can't give up our vigilance from beginning to end, if Jia Yufeng escapes this time, I'm afraid it will really be difficult to pull this nail up."
Wang Yi frowned slightly: "Jia Yufeng is already a turtle in the urn, even if Jia Yidao does his best to keep him from dying, it can be regarded as thankful, in fact, the most important thing is that after Jia Yufeng leaves, who can serve as the magistrate of Tongshan County, if Jia Yudao is allowed to insert a nail into it, then it can really be said that the previous efforts have been wasted, and as long as the person in exchange can do a little good for the people, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to drive this person away." โ
Ye Mengding didn't answer, but quietly looked at the chessboard in front of him: "What did Gongbing (Zhang Jianzi Gongbing) say, and also, did you send someone to ask Ziyuan (Jiang Wanli Ziyuan) about this matter?" After all, the stakes are very high, and if you can't take the magistrate of Tongshan County, you can't ensure that the Tianwu Army will not be attacked on its back. If the Tianwu Army goes north and exposes its back, the old man will not believe that Jia Yidao will not let go of this opportunity, and when the time comes, it will really be a catastrophe to attract Tartar cavalry. โ
Although Ye Mengding said something vague, Wang Yao still understood. No one can guarantee that Jia Yidao will not collude with the Mongols to strangle the Tianwu Army, you must know that this ruling ruler is much more ruthless in dealing with internal enemies than against external enemies.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yao still nodded slightly: "Ziyuan has already sent a letter to ask, Gongbing and he are both interested in going far, and they are going to know Tongshan County far away, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and the old man seems to be a good choice." โ
I didn't expect the three of them to unanimously choose Ye Yingji, Rao is Ye Mengding's concentration was amazing, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, if you really want to say that Ye Yingji is indeed the best choice, but this means that the Ye family's son and second son are all in Xing**, there is a first-class front line against the Tartars, and no one can guarantee when there will be unforeseen circumstances.
No wonder Wang Yao hesitated for a moment just now before he said it, after all, no one was embarrassed to open his mouth when he pushed his two sons to the edge of the cliff.
Ye Mengding sighed softly, "Smack!" "The white piece fell on the chessboard. Seeing that Ye Mengding hesitated for so long before he settled, Wang Yao hurriedly looked at it, and immediately shook his head, he had laid out his own layout for so long, and finally let Ye Mengding escape.
"The old man thinks it's okay." Ye Mengding spoke slowly, as if he was pressing a boulder in his heart, "But the top priority is to bring Jia Yufeng down first." โ
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Zhang Jian strode in, but he didn't hurry to speak, but walked to the two of them before lowering his voice: "That Jia Xianggong in the court has made a bloody capital this time, and it is Weng Yinglong, one of his left arms and right arms, who has come." โ
Wang Yao and Ye Mengding glanced at each other, and then Ye Mengding stroked his snow-white beard and said with a smile: "Whatever he does, Weng Yinglong and Weng Yinghu, he will come, the old man wants to see what ability he has to make that traitor trust him so much." โ
"It's better to be careful, and quickly send someone to tell Yuan Liexian's nephew, after all, there is a preparation first." Wang Yao said softly, the chess pieces in his hand knocked on the chessboard one by one, "Song Rui Dacai, it's a pity that I'm not here, and I don't know if Lu Junshi can help Yuan Lie end this matter." โ
Zhang Jian grabbed the chess pieces from Wang Yao's hands unceremoniously, landed directly on the chessboard, and even locked Ye Mengding's big dragon to death: "The old man really wants to see if Lu Junshi can enter the shogunate of Li Tingzhi in Huainan, does he really have three points of true talent." โ
Wang Yao glared at Zhang Jian, but he didn't think it was wrong: "Don't forget, it's not only Huainan Li Tingzhi who appreciates Lu Junshi, isn't it, Zhenzhi?" โ
This time it was Ye Mengding's turn to glare at Wang Yao, but he could only get Wang Yao and Zhang Jian to laugh heartlessly.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
The back hall of the county government is actually not large.
Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu sat in the hall on the left and right.
Jia Yufeng couldn't sit or stand, he could only sit on the edge of the chair with a wry smile. The official still served tea for the three of them with a very good eye, but at this time, where was Jia Yufeng still in the mood to taste tea: "I don't know what happened to the two adults who came to Xiaguan on this one-third of an acre?" Xia Guan heard that Lord Zhijun went to the mountains to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but what was the displeasure? If there are bold people who harass adults, it is because the officials are not strict in discipline, and please forgive the adults more. โ
"Jia Zhixian, there should be no need to say anything to this official, this official has always believed that there are gods above three feet, if Jia Zhixian sits down and does something against his will, it is better to say it first, otherwise don't blame this official's subordinates for being ruthless." Ye Yingwu said coldly, the killing intent that had dissipated just now resurfaced again, and Jia Yufeng's heart tightened.
Taking a breath of cool air, Jia Yufeng gritted his teeth and said: "Qiqi two adults, when the lower official took over as the magistrate, the chaos of public security in Tongshan County was really obvious to all, so the lower official also punished some people more severely as a last resort. โ
"Really?" Lu Xiufu's voice was violent, and the teacup he had just picked up fell back on the table heavily, and the tea splashed very high, "This official has not heard of any place where the city is full of people, and the viciousness of the officials and fast catchers in this county government is also clear to this official!" Is Jia Zhixian still asking this official to retry the previous unjust cases one by one?! โ
Jia Yufeng shuddered, and immediately smiled imperceptibly coldly, but when Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu's eyes intertwined on his face, it was still that flattering smile: "If the two adults really can't trust the lower officials, then the lower officials have nothing to say, and if the two adults want to retry the previous case, the lower officials will definitely hand over the file." โ
Ye Yingwu was stunned, and he already knew in his heart that Jia Yufeng might have wiped out all the evidence, and even if he could find a witness, he would probably be difficult to convince the public. also understood this truth, Lu Xiufu couldn't help but look at Ye Yingwu.
"Regardless of the far case, this official is very interested in trying the case newly judged by Jia Zhixian in the first instance, Li Jialang." Ye Yingwu said coldly, the people's revenge was caused by the case of Li Jialang, and this case has just happened, and some clues can always be found, at this time, Ye Yingwu regretted that he had not understood such advanced criminal investigation knowledge in later generations, at best, he could only be regarded as having read Song Ci's famous "Clearing Grievances" in his spare time, but that can only be said to be "seen", as for how much Ye Yingwu still remembers, he didn't dare to pack a ticket.
What's more, "Clearing Grievances" is really a forensic book, which is a little different from looking for evidence at the scene, and I can only hope that God will bless Jia Yufeng for any omissions.
"The two adults want to interrogate the Li family?" Jia Yufeng asked cautiously, "Xiaguan will let people arrest him." โ
Ye Yingwu frowned: "No need, let's go to the Li family by ourselves." โ
Knowing that Ye Yingwu was not giving himself the slightest chance, Jia Yufeng didn't say anything, so he could only nod slightly.
Lu Xiufu frowned slightly, Ye Yingwu did not follow the normal process is already a big fanfare of favoritism, to be honest, it is easy to leave a handle on people, but now it seems that there is really no other way to reveal the truth of the whole matter to the world.
Immediately, when Lu Xiufu saw Jia Yufeng's flattering smile and the resolute faces of the soldiers of the Tianwu Army beside him, he couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself: You Lu Xiufu really don't know the current affairs, when has this been, but you are still thinking about how to judge the case, it is really a joke.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
For the Li family in Tongshan County, today is definitely a day of ups and downs, great joys and sorrows, the Li family was originally regarded as a local strong in Tongshan County, especially the old man Li, who is upright and likes to help the poor, so he has a very good reputation, but unfortunately after Jia Yufeng came here as an official, he immediately realized that there was an old man Li, and he would definitely not be able to control the entire Tongshan County, so he relied on the support of Jia Yuqing and even Jia Rudao behind him, and came to the door one after another to provoke, and he actually killed the old man Li alive.
However, the sons of the Li family are very angry, not only do they not want to take revenge, but a few people are secretly hooking up with Jia Yufeng and harming the township, and although the father of the Li family is weak, he can also distinguish loyalty and treachery, so he has been suppressed by his brothers and Jia Yufeng, and soon after he died of sorrow, leaving only orphans and widows to support him.
Jia Yufeng also realized that because of the prestige of Old Man Li, the neighbors have been taking care of the Li family, which is definitely a challenge to consolidate his position, so he simply did not do anything, forcibly put the sins he committed on the head of the Li family, and first eradicate this "remnant" who is not with his own heart.
Not only did Jia Yufeng's cronies carefully fabricate evidence to convict the Li family, but even several brothers of the Li family also accused in unison, and resolutely expressed their intention to kill their relatives in righteousness, which also caused the neighbors and villagers who originally wanted to avenge him to have nothing to do.
Just when the Li family thought that it was really at the end of the road, thinking that it was many days of bitter pleading and finally opening God's eyes, the county government officials arrested people and let Ye Yingwu, the Xing** Zhijun who came to Weifu, bump into him, and then hundreds of people knelt down and begged for justice, and the Li family seemed to have seen the dawn in the dark.
"I don't know if that Lord Ye can ยทยทยทยทยทยท or not" Although she saw Ye Yingwu's impassioned enthusiasm today, the eldest lady of the Li family was still a little hesitant.
The two people in the room were also silent, what did the eldest lady of the Li family mean They also understood, there have been no fewer officials who have come and gone over the years, although no one is like today, but it is not for nothing that they look dignified and upright from a distance, but in the end, they were not pulled by Jia Yufeng to the Youmeng Building, and finally left leisurely.
In this world, how many people care about the life and death of ordinary people?
"It's still reliable when you think about it." The Li family elder pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Ye's respected father is the famous Qingtian Ye Zhenzhi, and Lord Ye is young and promising, he is a model for the hot-blooded men of the Great Song Dynasty, and he will be ordinary for us in the future." โ
"I hope soยทยทยทยทยทยท" The eldest lady of the Li family sighed softly, her eyes were still gloomy, since she married into the Li family, she didn't know how many hardships she had experienced, so she had unconsciously become familiar with this kind of suffering, this kind of sorrow.
The Li family also wanted to sigh, but then he thought that he was the pillar of the family and could not lose confidence first, so he held back and stretched out his hand to hug his wife, who was sharing the hardships: "Actually, I don't have anything to do, as long as I suffer you, the family has been poor all these years, and there is no stable day." โ
Barely smiling, the eldest woman of the Li family shook her head: "The husband is too worried, the concubine is originally a small family, and she has already been-"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
The three people in the room were stunned, and the old mother of the Li family, who had been silent, had a very small voice, but it was cold and abnormal: "Da Lang, go open the door, if it is your second and third uncles, let them stay away, the scum of the Li family is not welcome here." โ
"Hmm." The Li family nodded slightly.
In fact, his mother didn't say it, and it may be that he came back to bring him to justice. The knock on the door sounded again, looking at the husband who got up, the eldest lady of the Li family wanted to reach out and hold her husband's arm, but in the end she only grabbed a corner of her sleeve.
The sleeves of his coat slipped out of his hand, and the Li family opened the door.
Rao is outside is still a little cloudy, but it is much brighter than the inside of the house, so that the Li family can't help but squint slightly at this moment.
However, he still saw the person clearly, neither the two uncles who were embarrassed, nor the vicious county officials, but a young man and a middle-aged man, with black clothes and green shirts echoing each other, standing in the breeze with unshakable majesty.
"Lord Ye! Lord Lu! Li Jialang exclaimed in surprise, he didn't expect that it would be two benefactors who came to the door in person, and these two were unattainable, "How can the two of you come to this cold house, please come in quickly." โ
Ye Yingwu nodded slightly, Jiang Tie and Yang Bao were already standing outside the door, if it weren't for the fact that some of the soldiers and several heads of the Hundred Battles were still in the Stacked Mountain Courtyard, it would not be the turn of Yang Bao, a person like Yang Bao who commanded the rank of envoy to stand guard.
"I took the liberty to come to visit, and I ask you for forgiveness." Ye Yingwu smiled slightly and arched his hand, the darkness and some musty smell on his face made him feel strange and sad, and even the smile on his face was a little unbearable, no matter in his previous life and this life, he had never experienced this kind of poverty and embarrassment.
"The villain can't afford it." The Li family said anxiously and welcomed the two people in.
The eldest lady and the old mother of the Li family had already stood up and were busy making tea and pouring water, even when the old lady Li was alive, the threshold of the Li family had not been crossed by a noble of the level of Zhijun.
Lu Xiufu was okay, Ye Yingwu sat on a very narrow chair a little crampedly, and before he could sit down, the old mother of the Li family had already come over and brought two cups of tea: "Two adults, please use tea." โ
Seeing the white-haired old man bending down in front of him to serve tea, even Lu Xiufu couldn't sit still and hurriedly stood up. Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand to support the old man, and said softly: "I can't afford to be a student, I'm just a twenty-year-old descendant, I can come by myself." If the old man doesn't dislike it, he can call a certain cousin far away, and the Li family is a few years older than the younger generation, so he will call him 'brother'. โ
The Li family was stunned for a moment, and immediately fell to the ground: "Even if you are a few years old, how can you be worthy of the title of 'brother' of adults!" โ
I didn't expect that this Li family man was still such a class-oriented person, but when he thought about it, he was afraid that this era was like this, Ye Yingwu could only help him up, and looked at Lu Xiufu with a wry smile, and Lu Xiufu also shook his head helplessly.
"In this way, I won't talk about any red tape, please talk about how the county decided the case first." Ye Yingwu really didn't want to continue to entangle himself in the title, so he simply omitted the title, "After all, I don't know what happened and it's not good." โ
"Your Excellency, please be seated." Li Jialang first made a gesture of invitation to Ye Yingwu.
Ye Yingwu took a breath lightly, and subconsciously looked at the only small window in the room that was lit, and a touch of sunlight poured in, illuminating half of the room.
I don't know when, the sky has cleared.
