Chapter 68: Exile

"Yuanchen, what do you mean when you say that your brother-in-law invited me here? I don't really plan to use a knife on my father-in-law, Old Taishan."

On the official road leading from Quanzhou City to the governor of Yuesu, a carriage came slowly, and beside the carriage, more than 300 people followed, including guards, family members, maids, mothers-in-law, and so on

The two who sat in the carriage were Li Wenzhang's father and son, Li Wenzhang, after receiving Yue Su's letter, hurried to Fujian, but along the way, it was inevitable that he was a little worried, worried that this son-in-law would do it to himself, which responded to that sentence, he didn't do anything bad in his life, and he didn't panic when he knocked on the door in the middle of the night Li Wenzhang had no intention of rebelling, so he didn't panic much, but now he has a plan to rebel, and he also bought a lot of ordnance and armor in Huguang and Guangxi. It's hard to guarantee that some other clues have been discovered

Li Yuanchen is much calmer than Lao Tzu, he said with a smile: "Father, you don't have to worry, the child thinks, the brother-in-law will definitely not be difficult for your child to know the brother-in-law well, the brother-in-law is loyal to the court, there is no doubt about it, but after all, you are his father-in-law, not he invited you to come, the child thinks, ten *** does not want to make a big deal about it, after listening to his father's explanation, he will also stop the incident in Zhangzhou, which is also considered our bad luck, let him catch up, Li Yuchun brought so many people, after he saw it, how could he not be suspicious, I must have thought that our family raised a sergeant, with bad intentions but only intentions, and there is no real evidence, and the crime of rebellion is too big, how dare he force his father-in-law to buckle his head and wait for you to see him, and he doesn't need to hide anything, just directly tell him about the matter entrusted by the Spaniards, our Li family has endless silver, and raising one or two thousand guards and coolies is nothing more than being too arrogant this time, bow your head to him, what else can he do"

Li Yuanchen said it thoroughly, and he saw Yue Su's plan clearly, Li Wenzhang thought about it in his heart, and thought that it was also the case that Yue Su was his son-in-law after all, and this matter was not a killing with the countrymen, it was a killing of Yi people, it was not a mistake, it was nothing more than that he raised more people, but he had a lot of silver, and what could he do There is no evidence of definite rebellion, you are really embarrassed to send your father-in-law to the guillotine

Li Wenzhang's heart finally let go, closed his eyes, and came to the evening, when the guard of honor finally came to Yuesu's governor's line to send someone to report his name, Yue Su got the gift, and immediately went out to greet him, and invited his father-in-law and brother-in-law into the big tent of the Chinese army

A subordinate brought tea, and the three of them exchanged pleasantries, and Yue Su got to the point and talked about the fighting in Zhangzhou drama

Li Wenzhang did not hide it, and bowed down to ask for the guilt, "My lord, this matter is indeed done by the old decay, at that time, he was bewitched by the Spaniards, so he did such a stupid thing, but the old decay did not forget the laws of the imperial court, just because the other party is not my Ming people, such a foolish people, plundering everywhere, and it is also a case of gathering people to fight with more than enough death, and the old decay is willing to bear it."

If he was stingy in front of Yue Su, Yue Su would definitely argue with him, and in the end it would be inevitable that the punishment would be increased, but he would directly relent, and admit his guilt openly and honestly, which made Yue Su difficult to say anything, especially if he was not called Xianxu, he directly called Yue Su an adult

Yue Su smiled slightly, and said: "Lord Yue, your words are serious, but the English are not Jurchens after all, and it is not appropriate to kill like this, father-in-law, son-in-law saw that Li Yuchun brought a lot of warriors, so many people, are they all under the father-in-law?"

"It's true that the financial resources of the old family under the old family, the adults also know, I dare not say that it is a rich country, and it can be regarded as a rich party with so much silver, after all, someone needs to take care of it, now in this year, everywhere is chaotic, I am doing business everywhere, escorting goods, and I also need a lot of people, just like the old man and the Spaniards on the island of Taiwan do business, if I don't send more people just in case, God knows if they will bite back and those English, although this time I robbed them, but if I have fewer people, he has more people, Will these people rob me, it is also two yards to say that the adults have been in Daming for a long time, and I am afraid that I don't know anything about overseas affairs, but the old man knows that the goods in the hands of these English people are actually robbed in a country called India, they are looting everywhere, lawless and old people fight violence with violence, there is really something wrong, if the adults want to be convicted according to the law, the old people will not hold a grudge against the adults "Li Wenzhang is really a bachelor, since you Yue Su asked, I will answer like this, anyway, I am rich to support people, how do you say that it is also my son-in-law, As long as I didn't pull the flag and rebel, I don't believe it, you really cut me down

Yue Su didn't expect his father-in-law to be so real-minded, and he was outspoken about everything, but what people said also made sense, that is, he had money to support people, and robbing it was robbing Yue Su pondered for a moment, and said: "Lord Yue, according to what you say, you are now confessing to this case, and you are willing to be punished by the laws of the imperial court?" ”

"Yes!" Li Wenzhang nodded solemnly and said

"Then the son-in-law will be sentenced!" Yue Su said a word, and then stared at the old man deadly

Li Wenzhang behaved even more honorably, simply stood up, pulled off his shirt, and knelt on the ground to "listen to the verdict"

The old man's kneeling son-in-law is not the first time for Yue Su, but every time Yue Su feels very embarrassed, originally he didn't plan to let Li Wenzhang kneel, but Li Wenzhang was also a little too conscious, so that he really couldn't get off the stage, fortunately, there was no one else in the tent, but as soon as Li Wenzhang knelt down, Li Yuanchen actually stood up and knelt down beside his father, which was a bit of a forced palace

After all, Lord Yue is a person who has seen a big scene, and he can't show his cowardice at this moment, even if he is embarrassed, he has to do the matter, and then he straightened his clothes, and said loudly: "Li Wenzhang instructed his subordinates to gather a crowd to fight the case, and now he has confessed, according to the laws of the imperial court, he should have been beheaded, but the person who fought with Li Wenzhang was an overseas Yiren, not my Ming people, so he was demoted, exiled to Yunnan for three years, fined 500,000 taels of silver, and handed over to the treasury for the rest of the prisoners, depending on the severity of the circumstances, or exiled to Yunnan together, or punished with a cane of eighty!" ”

Exiled to Yunnan, this time, the three father-in-law got together, nothing to fight a landlord, it's not bad Yue Su is sentenced like this, it is also considered, Li Wenzhang is really a big move, especially at this juncture, nursery rhymes are flooding too fast, maybe to Yunnan, but it is a kind of protection, you can stop and stop, don't fight any crooked idea of being the emperor Of course, you always have to have no such plan from beginning to end, that is the best Yunnan climate is good, suitable for the elderly, in the Qianguo Gong, there is food and drink, It's okay to catch a fish, chat, take care of the five hundred thousand taels of silver and send it to the imperial court, the queen mother will not say anything when she sees this money, and you just said it, even if it is not a rich country, it is also a rich party, then don't let these two children be happy, wouldn't it be better

His sentence really surprised Li Wenzhang, and he thought that he might just pull it up, but in the end he was still sentenced, although the distribution in Yunnan is not heavy, and 500,000 taels of silver is nothing to the old guy, but after going to Yunnan, how can he still plot a great cause

After listening to Yue Su's punishment, he immediately understood what Yue Su meant, and he secretly said in his heart: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are really well-intentioned, I am afraid that my father will take advantage of the troubled times to rebel, and he will be sent to Yunnan to raise a high age, it is really clever...... Why didn't the little brother see it before......"

This disposal plan was pondered by Yue Su himself in the past two days, and the reason is that the nursery rhyme of "Hongyan is dead, chaos is stopped, eighteen sons, the main artifact" is too popular, he doesn't want his family to get into this troubled water, so let's just have a face-to-face and get by once and for all

"Thank you, sir......" Li Wenzhang was unwilling, but he still responded, and the most annoying thing was that he was about to rush to kowtow, which was also to vent his dissatisfaction

At this time, Yue Su had already stood up, spared the table, stepped forward, helped Li Wenzhang up, and said: "Lord Yue, the son-in-law is offended, and I hope Taishan should not mind."

Can Li Wenzhang not mind, but at this time, what else can he say, can he really go to Qi Shijiao and a group of people in Beijing to help appeal In this way, the matter is getting bigger, and he is raising so many private soldiers, it is really impossible to say if it is not, what is the matter, let's talk about it later

Although he was not convicted in front of many people, Yue Su only said it in the military account of the governor's line, so he naturally made a few confessions or something, and then made up for it later, that is, of course, he had to hand the excerpt to the Beijing division, and when the excerpt went to Beijing, after the Empress Dowager Zhang read it, she only said one sentence, "Yue Su's fair heart is rare in the world, such a case, he doesn't play, and the mourning family doesn't know that it seems that he has really wronged him, and the next decree, the confiscated 500,000 taels of silver, half of which will be transferred to Fujian, to rebuild the water division for him"

Zhang Yan saw the performance of the folds, and she was a later talker, but it can also be seen that her impression of Yue Su is a lot better Don't look at Lord Yue now, the 250,000 taels of silver are not bad, but the 250,000 silver is also a signal

After sentencing the old father-in-law, Yue Su set up a banquet in the governor's line, and Li Qiongying must be accompanied by her father-in-law and brother-in-law, but she is still unclear about her husband and father, and between the banquets, Yue Su and the three of them did not mention it, but they just talked and laughed, and they seemed to be harmonious

While he was drinking, Jin Cicada suddenly ran to the door, bowed down and said, "Lord Qiyu, something is wrong!" ”

"What's the matter?" Hearing this, Yue Su was taken aback and hurriedly asked
